Permanent Nobara

Wait up, Naoko!

Nao-chan!

Naoko!

Mummy...

Mummy?

Welcome home, Momo.

Granny wants help in the salon.

Wash your hands, it's snack time.

I already helped myself.

"Perm-anent" "Wild Rose, Nobara" Beauty Salon

Thanks.

Naoko!

Naoko!

'Afternoon...

That looks nice.

Thank you.

Nobara-San, diluting the perm liquid again, eh?

I wouldn't be so stingy.

Sure you would.

It used to last 3 months.

Look, it's rock-hard.

There's an actress just like this.

I know the one.

What's her name?

Anyway, you've dropped 20 years.

Impossible.

A perm should be as hard as dried goat shit.

It's hard, alright.

Back home again, Naoko?

A nice fresh start after the divorce.

Who's the next guy?

No-one.

Nothing lined up? What a lame girl.

Really.

When did you last get any?

I can't remember.

Someone order up some cock for her.

I don't need one, thank you.

Your ma' always found it easily.

And got dumped pretty quick, too.

My guy may wander but he's back for supper.

Snacking at other backdoors, though.

He's not a damn dog.

He's damn-well like one. And at his age, too.

'Afternoon.

Momo.

- Tired? - Yeah.

Hello.

Long time, no see.

Momo.

You've sure grown.

How do you like your new school?

Any problems with bullies, I'll come say hello to 'em.

I say hello to people, too.

I'd say "Thanks for taking care of my little angel"...

"Now, let's take a walk out back."

Would you please stop it?

The divorce must be a relief?

Sure, I guess.

Hey...

What?

Get some eggplants.

Sure, of course.

It's been a great year for them.

Won't you come back to Mother?

She takes it out on me all the time.

Really?

You intend to return, right?

Your mother is a good woman, for sure.

Then be good to her.

I am.

You don't even call.

Listen, Naoko...

A man's life is like that song, "One More Bar".

For instance, at 2am...

Know why a man goes to another bar?

At 2am, mind you...

Knowing it's not as good as the last one...

A man like me, just can't give it up.

Nobody's going to accept that.

You should, at least. Please try.

Shall we cook them Chinese-style?

I'm not eating those damn things.

The eggplants are innocent.

Momo, don't.

Daddy?

I'm well, really really.

Granny's in a bad mood.

I don't know why.

You're not fine?

I'll come cheer you up.

Don't fiddle with it.

Ouch.

What's wrong?

A paper cut.

Give me a band-aid.

I don't have one.

Why not?

Why should I?

Found one.

Your ex calls a lot, huh?

Not for me, for Momo.

He'll eventually ask you back, right?

Shouldn't think so.

He likes to be alone. Doesn't need anyone.

We never felt like a couple.

We didn't share a pod.

What pod?

Like two peas in a pod.

If you're not like peas in a pod, you're just strangers.

Your metaphor's lost on me.

Kashima-San, I wonder if we'll ever quarrel...

I'm always pushing for it.

Why?

You're always talking about another guy.

But he's Momo's father...

Are you angry?

Furious.

See you later.

Gimme more.

Thanks.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Is that enough, Naoko?

With all your new men, eh?

I don't have the appetite.

But I sure do.

Morning, Momo.

Good morning.

How's everything?

How are you, Mi-chan?

Business is booming.

That's good news.

The bad news is, Hisashi left me.

He left you?

He sure did.

Don't worry, he'll be back.

Fooling around again?

Everyone knows he's had a hand on each of your girls.

Shut up.

This time it's different.

Why?

The promises he made to her.

We'll start a bar in the Philippines.

And you'll have my child.

You've got a wife.

Don't you worry about that.

She's just a shield from the loan sharks.

He's a fool to say it, she's a fool to believe it.

I think they're in love.

Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Let him go. You'll make a fool of yourself by chasing him.

Why should I let him go?

He's my husband. He's mine!

Wow, a superb Nobara perm.

I'm off to talk to him.

Keep the change!

Silly girl.

Why did daddy go?

'Cause you got a divorce?

Naoko!

Naoko...

Are you home?

Is she dead?

You bastards...

I'm dying...

I'm dying...

Lucky he didn't press charges.

The jerk thinks he made a macho move to save a girls' life.

What?

Call the nurse.

You...

Do I mean that much to you?

You love me that much?

What a lucky man I am...

Is that what you're after? Bitch!

Running over your own husband! I hope you die!

Being run over is all you're good for!

I'm bleeding...

Any love is better than none.

I can't bear it without someone to love.

Nobody can.

Naoko!

Nao-chan!

Wait for us.

Don't get carried away!

Wait up, Naoko!

Wait!

It's beautiful.

Isn't it?

You're so lucky he bought it.

I want a new dad, too.

What's he like? Handsome?

- Young. - Great.

Young and rich... buys you anything.

I wish there's a "daddy exchange centre" somewhere.

I know, your dad is awful.

It's like his job is to get drunk, yell and crap his pants.

At least my dad's popular with other women.

Well, I'll borrow this for a while.

Hey, Mi-chan, that's not fair!

Don't let Tomo ride it. You'll get poor like her. You listening?

Mi-chan, you said you've got 10 bikes at home.

I need to ride it to know how good mine are.

We don't have any bikes... I've never even saw one before.

Liar, of course you've seen one.

Please, please let me have a go.

Stop it! Liar... liar!

Was anyone on it?

Daddy...

Nobody was riding it?

I nearly had a heart-attack.

"Jeez, I killed a kid" I thought. But it was just a bike...

Holy crap...

Nao-chan, I'm sorry.

Don't cry... it's bad luck.

Apologize to Naoko!

Buy a new one!

Stop it, Mitsue.

When are we going out again?

As soon as my mom's in a good mood again.

Spoken like a schoolgirl. How old are you?

What was that?

You're heavy.

- Stop, my back! - I am not!

Is it broken?

It just came off.

Good night.

Good night.

It's all better now.

A dream... nothing more.

Nothing to be scared of.

Momo...

Wandering about all night... where were you?

You're scary when you're angry.

It's all right, dear. Sleep now.

Which one's her mother, eh?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Momo.

Sorry...

[Filipino]

Mama-San, it's morning.

We're leaving.

[Filipino]

[Filipino]

Working late? Letting guys stay late will take its toll on you.

Better than being with you. It makes money at least.

Much obliged.

What's that look?

So long.

"Nobara Perms"

He was a good piece of cock.

Which one was that?

Who was it, now?

I can't recall which cock was attached to which face.

Kimi-chan, you're too young to be forgetting things.

You've still got your marbles.

Go home early today.

You need to get it any which way you can.

Long time, no see.

Nao-chan.

Tomo-chan.

Want some?

How many abortions you had?

Two.

Take two, make an offering.

Thank you.

Mi-chan got a divorce.

So I heard.

She'll just hook up with the same kind of guy.

Don't worry. She's got her act together.

Come on in.

When was it?

This morning.

I checked when he didn't come eat,

and he was already stiff.

Well done... you had a good, long life.

You've had him since way before your marriage, right?

I'm sure he's grateful.

Ponta...

Ponta!

Tomo-chan.

Tomo-chan...

Come on now.

Look at this scar.

From a fight with my then-boyfriend.

I was 19 years old.

You're a leach!

What are you doing?

Shut up!

Get out. If you want money, earn it yourself!

How dare you?

Ponta!

He began to hate all my boyfriends.

As I hated them, too.

God, how I hated them.

You jerk!

Get lost!

Wait, listen to me.

You get on my nerves!

Go ahead and hit me, then...

Eat by yourself!

Wait.

Are you okay?

Finally I found one who didn't hit me and got married.

But I struck out again.

What are you doing?

He stole my coins.

Come to the office.

I just borrowed 'em.

I'll return it when I get the jackpot.

At least slot machine places close at night.

Once he got hooked on illegal mah-jong,

he'd never come back and I lost track of him.

Farewell, Ponta.

Take her bad luck with men away with you.

Nao-chan...

Are you happy?

I figure this is as good as it gets.

Will you leave again?

Get married and leave our town?

There's nobody who'll have me.

If there is, would you?

"Divorce Congratulations!"

The more you cry, the more you grow.

Really? Then I'm already a 300m giant.

A giant!

Do crocodile tears count, too?

Fake or not, cry any which way you want.

Cheers!

- Welcome back. - Thank you.

Mama.

Yes, what's up?

Maybe it's odd after fooling around with all your girls...

but if I reserve 3 bottles of whisky, can we have dinner?

Great, where will you take me?

Wherever you like. I want to cheer you up.

I'll reserve 6 bottles, then.

We'll watch a movie, then sing karaoke.

I'm as embarrassed as a teenager.

I'll have 6 bottles, too. Cheer up.

Please be happy again.

Look on the bright side.

Cheer up, my dear.

Keep your chin up!

Let's do it.

It won't take long.

Everyone...

All you good cocks gathered here...

Uh-oh, Mama-San's crying.

"Departing In Clear Skies"

Go for it!

Go on, Mama.

You can do it.

Remember, it's bad luck to cry.

Eh?

The batteries are dead...

There it is.

Everyone okay?

Mi-chan...

What's wrong?

Your dad's cutting down power lines again.

Not again, the senile old fool...

Dad, be sensible!

Dad!

Dad!

This is useless. Let's go eat.

We were poor and always went hungry as kids.

When it got too bad, dad would rush out with his chainsaw.

He'd sell the wood and copper on the black market...

and return laden with meat and rice.

Look, 20kgs of rice! Eat up and grow tall!

Hooray for rice!

Mum always used to say...

"Dad risks everything to provide for you kids."

They were her happiest times.

Dad's gone back to those days.

Look, Dad, this piece is ready.

Always smiling, your mum seemed happy.

I wanted to be like her when I grew up.

Not as easy as you think.

Be quiet. Take your sales calls outside.

Say, ever feel your ex might turn up one day?

No, I don't.

I love your little scar.

How did you get it?

I hate it.

I hate this town.

All the sane people left.

Leaving just the dregs.

I guess I'm the dregs, huh?

How much longer do we keep doing this?

I'm the only beauty parlour in town.

Nobody should go in need of a cut.

What nonsense.

Nobara house-call...

Hello?

What do you want?

Let's make you two nice and clean.

Feels good, huh? Fine weather, a lovely day...

I always love coming here.

My customers only ever talk about men and dicks.

I can't stomach it.

Is that right?

I'm envious of you, m'dear.

Surrounded by your favourite things.

My life should've been like that.

Not that jerk and his eggplants.

No point blaming him.

You're right.

Where's the bald guy who was here 5 years ago?

Dead.

And the wimpy-looking one from last year?

Dead.

One or two killed and buried, I dare say...

Sit straight.

See you, then...

Mum...

Stay back, Naoko.

Are you Yuji?

Who?

Tomo-chan's husband.

Right? Wait a minute.

Yuji-San, are you alright?

Tomo-chan's so worried about you.

Are you eating properly?

Tell her to change these for cash.

Excuse me.

I'm making it official with this one.

Mum didn't make the grade, huh...

I'm not in a position to, so...

could you tell your mother about us?

Why do I have to do that?

She's done my perms for decades and I feel bad.

Her coiled perms are the best.

They're really solid.

Please tell her in person.

Will you marry again?

Mum keeps asking that, too.

Tell her to mind her own business.

- She's always critical. - I know that I'm a failure.

Why do you say that?

I just feel that way.

Well, don't.

You're doing fine.

I don't want to hear you say that.

It's damn upsetting.

You should mind your own business, too.

Okay, okay.

Really giving up the coiled perm?

It looks great on you.

What do you want, then?

Want to take a look?

He's a fascinating guy. We kept drinking and chatting...

Then you dragged him to a hotel, as usual, eh?

No, I didn't.

You didn't do it?

You of all people?

Nothing? Not even a kiss?

Right.

I can't sleep, my ears ring, no appetite and my heart's aflutter...

Aflutter?

Like when you leave the electric blanket on all night.

God, it's menopause, again.

That, my dear, is love.

Love.

I hear you're getting divorced.

Who told you that?

So, it's not true?

I'll let him suffer a little more.

It'll come back to you, mum.

There's an actress just like this.

They look great.

She's serious. Not just after his body.

Alright, I'm going back to work.

Why? You made their lunch boxes.

So what?

They're off.

Girls ride on the back.

It's driving me crazy.

I should've known...

Got to snare them with that.

I'm back.

How was it?

She won by a knock-out.

Want to go on to the hot springs?

The farming co-op reunion tour?

Just one night. I think I'll close the store.

I need to cheer myself up.

Go ahead. You never get a break.

You need your rest.

"Farming Association Hot Spring Tour"

'Morning, how are you?

Over here.

- I got you a seat. - Thank you.

It's hot today.

Have a beer.

Is it true? About the special "service"?

You bet! That cute tour guide goes the whole way... totally naked.

Totally naked?

Are you all here?

Come on, take your clothes off!

In good time, Ma'am.

Raise a hand when I call your name.

Abe-San?

Iketani-San?

Him? Totally naked?

Really? He's just a kid.

Kusakabe-San?

"Closed for the day"

How's this?

Make it more cute.

It is cute.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

I said it's not.

How do you want it?

Tell Mummy.

Daddy!

Let me know when you're coming back.

Momo...

Hey, there.

What's up? Going somewhere?

Why don't we?

I've neither kid nor mum until tomorrow.

Where do you want to go?

A hot spring or something.

Right now?

Why not...

I assumed you'd say no.

Why?

You don't want anyone to know about us.

No, I don't. Why'd you say that?

We promised at the start to keep it secret.

That's ancient history.

You're not a kid anymore, right?

Grown-ups can do what they want with whoever they like.

Was it that long ago?

Go on ahead and enjoy yourself.

I'll join you up when I'm done here.

Please, go ahead.

When is the other guest arriving?

He'll probably be late.

You scared me!

I thought you'd be much later.

I flew over here.

Want a beer?

Into the spa first.

Let me do that spinning thing.

What? Don't be silly.

Come on, spin properly.

Later maybe.

Now.

Please, play along.

"Men's Bath: Closed for Cleaning"

His car's gone?

He wouldn't drive after drinking.

Maybe he walked to the store to buy something?

But his car's gone.

What about your dinner?

I'll wait for him.

Dad!

Who let him have the damn chainsaw?

Dad!

Why did you leave?

No, I'm not mad.

Just surprised.

Sure.

We'll go again some day.

I don't know about you anymore...

You always listen to me.

You always be with me.

You're kind to me...

But I don't know what's going on...

Do you really love me?

Do you think about me when we're apart?

Ever wonder how I am?

Do you miss me at all?

I always think about you.

...all the time

How come I feel lonely?

Why am I so damn lonely?

Why?

What's that look?

Momo.

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell mum you're getting remarried.

Did you really mean to?

Not telling is bad, too though.

But she still gets mad when I talk about you.

She was the one to chose a guy like me.

Right, but it's not your place to say.

Lots of girls snare a nice guy and settle down.

If you can't do that, you've only yourself to blame.

Like a bug that falls in a tin can...

Making noise but getting nowhere...

I used to choose men by their looks.

Good-looking guys are usually jerks.

I know but I still fell for them.

Ended up looking a fool.

Silly girl.

Don't worry.

Now I look at 'em as so many pebbles on a beach.

Nao-chan, please be happy.

We're not blood-related but I always consider you mine.

After the divorce, can't I call you dad anymore?

You never did anyway.

"Dad".

Get all the way in.

What happened here?

I forget.

Liar.

Okay, I don't want to say.

I know. You fell, right?

Thank you for everything.

It's a small token of gratitude. Please, take it.

What's your new father like?

He's young.

Another young one...

Naoko, stay in touch.

Call, okay?

Alright... thanks.

Naoko.

I'm coming.

Take care, okay.

Take care.

It's exciting about the new house, eh?

More than I could afford but still a tight fit for 3.

It's fine... we'll be like peas in a pod.

You'd prefer a big house, eh?

Don't mind, do you? This one's not fussy.

Can't give you much pocket money, either.

Don't worry, she won't expect it from you.

I don't know how to talk to kids.

You'll get used to it.

She'll call you "dad" and tell you how much she loves you.

I wish you'd told me about the kid earlier on...

Didn't I tell you?

Say something.

I told him, didn't I?

Kids are great, You'll know when you become a dad.

Me... a father?

Let's make a bunch. A big, happy family.

Why?

Naoko will love it, right?

What?

What's that look?

How dare you look at your mother like that?

Naoko!

Naoko!

An ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

Naoko...

Dear?

Mi-chan is here, Naoko.

Does it hurt?

No, I'm okay now.

Guys...

I'm not changing schools, now.

What about your new dad?

Let's play together, again.

Mum?

What?

You've got me.

Shouldn't that be enough?

Nao-chan.

What's up?

We found my husband.

Up in the mountains, right?

Yes, he was but...

he was dead.

Come on, Momo.

He dumped me.

She got dumped.

She got to do it once, though.

How old is she?

Nearly 70, I guess.

She had a coiled perm since we were kids.

Does that mean we're fixed in our ways, too?

What an ugly sight.

Momo.

Stay away! You'll be unlucky with men, too!

He was as dry as an old beer bottle.

He'd taken speed to play mah-jong all night. An overdose they say.

Drugs are scary.

At least we found him.

Whereabouts was it that we buried Ponta?

It shouldn't be far away.

I buried my gold fish here.

How old were we then?

We must've been 3rd grade?

We buried that turtle, too.

Did we?

Yes, we did.

I don't remember.

How's this? It's nice and soft.

What's up, m'dear?

What did you bury?

What's that?

Those tokens he handed you.

It's my only memento.

Are you going to bury them?

Sure.

Then I can finally forget about him.

There's no need to do that.

When you're forgotten that's your final death.

People die twice.

Once when you actually stop living.

Then again when you're forgotten.

It's all over when you're no longer in anyone's heart.

You're dead forever, then.

No coming back.

I haven't told anyone about this.

About what?

I...

I'm dating Kashima.

Did I tell you already?

You told me lots of times.

You're so forgetful, Nao-chan.

I don't mind if you keep telling me.

You're goofing off work.

I'm not... it's quiet now.

I dreamt about you.

What was I doing?

You were washing this.

In class I used to think it was so filthy.

We gossiped about whether you ever washed it.

Such a trivial thing to notice.

Do you want me to wash it?

That much I can do myself.

Let me do it.

Shall we move in together?

If I don't make a move, I'll lose you.

I told Tomo about you,

but I don't remember when...

How come I forgot?

Naoko...

Fancy some of this great shochu?

Oops. Didn't realize you were on a date.

Sorry I interrupted you.

I'll be at your mom's.

Mi-chan?

Mi-chan, am I insane?

If you are, then so is every woman in this place.

You're fine. We women lived enough for others.

From now on we should live as we wish.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

My heart's beating fast.

Any nice boys at school, Momo?

Sora and Maito are cute.

Introduce me.

Stop it.

Remember one in the hand's worth two in the bush.

Good afternoon.

Howdy Mi-chan.

Have you seen Naoko?

On a date, at the beach...

She's okay.

- Delicious. - Right?

How are you? First time I've seen you without a smoke or a guy.

No decent guys for miles.

Momo?

Momo?

Momo!
