[rustling]

-[moaning in distance] -Hmm?

[Satoshi] Stink bugs, stink bugs! That squishy white offal.

Broad beans, broad beans, broad beans, broad beans!

-Broad beans. -[both panting, moaning]

Who's a broad bean?

I read it online.

"When you're about to finish, think of things you hate to last longer."

-Then you don't have to say it out loud. -[soft chuckle]

Chiko, how was today's?

I don't know! How many times has this happened today?

[exclaims]

My shift got canceled today.

[Chiko] Without it even raining?

Yeah, it's about the construction schedule changing.

Mm.

[deep inhale]

Man, part-time jobs are so unstable.

[Chiko] Then won't you come help me out?

BIG ZAM'S DAILY LUNCH SPECIAL

I kept you waiting.

Presenting Mr. Karaage No. 1.

The seasoning is a secret.

We're in the middle of a massive karaage boom.

No, a karaage war!

You're gonna rob every last coin from people passing by.

Pretty genius, right?

A karaage boom? Talk about jumping on the bandwagon late.

A businessman never walks away empty-handed,

and an Osaka native never lets anyone get something for free.

You're gonna pay back the trouble you caused your mom here.

Don't slack off, or else.

-Got it. -Good!

Welcome! Get your karaage here!

Ah! "Mr. Karaage"! Branding is important.

Got it.

[Hironi] Good! I trust you!

Right. Welcome!

Get your Mr. Karaage here!

-Satoshi. -Yes.

-I'm sorry. -[chuckles] No, not at all.

Actually, I'm happy.

It's been a while since we worked together, right?

Here, Chiko.

Come on, you too! Say "Yes!" Ready?

Welcome! Fresh-fried karaage!

Add "Mr."

[both] Fresh-fried Mr. Karaage!

-Kara-- -Interested?

[customer] One extra-large. How much?

[Satoshi] Thank you! One extra-large. How much?

-[Chiko] Not priced. -[Satoshi] Right.

RED LIGHT ELEGY

1,000 yen, 9,000 yen, full. 4,000 yen.

EPISODE 5

Make this a weekly thing?

Include staff meals.

Only 500 yen each.

Wait, not on the house?

Hironi, it's not cooked.

[Hironi] Medium-rare!

-Hell no. -[door opens]

-[customer] Coming in. -Hi, welcome!

Chiko?

Long time no see! How have you been?

You never reach out.

Kataoka misses you, you know.

Who misses her?

[Hironi] It's you, little Kataoka.

-[Chiko's friend] Cute, right? -Shut up, idiots!

By the way, remember when Yusaku introduced you as his girl?

-[Kataoka chuckles] -He glared at me

-right off the bat. -[Hironi laughs]

Like this.

Had an attitude back then.

Speaking of that... [clears throat]

...where's Yusaku?

Dunno.

[Hironi] Left his apartment. Total ghost.

Still in Osaka?

[Hironi] Who knows. Should show his face after prison.

[Chiko's friend] Right.

[Kataoka sighs]

So, you're Chiko's new guy?

Yes.

You look so pathetic.

[Kataoka] Yusaku was way better.

Leave him alone.

[chuckles] Whatever, drink up!

-Wait. -Bottoms up!

You can't drink. Don't force it.

[Kataoka] You don't drink either?

Such a useless punk!

Well, cheers!

-That's the way. -Whoa!

-[Chiko's friends exclaiming] -[gulping]

It's so good!

-Hell yeah! Look at him! -[exclaims]

-[Kataoka] All right. -[Hironi] Go for more.

-[chuckles] -You look like a total idiot.

I have to say I'm a huge dumbass!

-[smacks] -I know, idiot.

[Satoshi gasping]

Proud of it?

You're just like Yusaku,

making zero cash anyway.

-Total idiot. -[Kataoka] Yeah.

[Chiko's friend] He's real next-level stupid.

What are you saying?

Yusaku's a dumbass! [chuckles]

Huh? [grunts]

[Kataoka] What the hell do you know about him?

[♪ tense music playing]

He's a dumbass for real,

but he'll jump into danger for Chiko without a second thought.

[Kataoka] You got that kind of guts?

-Stop! -[Chiko's friend] Relax, just watch.

I... [splutters]

Such a chicken.

Say something!

[grunting weakly]

[splutters] I...

[raises voice] I'll protect Chiko!

[♪ music fades]

[Hironi] Gosh. [chuckles]

[Kataoka laughing]

[thuds]

[Chiko] Satoshi! You...

You all right?

-Get it together! -Screw Yusaku!

I'll take him on anytime.

-[Kataoka] Move, Chiko. -[Satoshi] Chiko!

[breathing heavily]

[Satoshi gasps]

What can you do?

The best you can do

is crawl and cling to her!

Just so you know,

I'll do anything...

I'll do whatever I can just to be with Chiko!

Will you?

Yeah? Then prove it, you pathetic--

[Satoshi exclaims]

[panting]

[Kataoka groaning]

[Chiko] Satoshi, you okay? Get up!

[exclaims] You guys really went at it.

[Kataoka] Shut up.

[chuckles] Wait, you're bleeding?

Damn it.

Hey, Chiko.

Don't you give a damn about Yusaku anymore?

He might be suffering out there all alone.

[♪ pensive music playing]

I'll never forget him.

But right now,

my only focus is this guy.

[Chiko's friend] Let's go. Get up.

[Kataoka groaning] Piece of cake, idiots.

-[Chiko's friend] You reek of puke! -[Kataoka] Shut up!

Sorry about that.

I didn't mean to stir things up.

Though, if he could pull that off sober, I'd hand it to him.

Satoshi, let's go.

[Satoshi groans] Chiko, my head is killing me.

Sorry for always being like this, Chiko.

[Chiko] Yeah, I know.

[Satoshi] Stay with me forever!

[Chiko] I'm here.

Come back again!

[Satoshi] Oh.

Working with Mr. Inaba today for the first time in forever.

[Chiko] Ah, Satoshi.

This is my share of the rent for this month.

Huh? It's my room anyway. You don't have to go this far.

[Chiko] We're living together, so paying half is only right.

-Really? Well then... -Mm.

[Satoshi exclaims] I'm broke again this month.

I have to work harder.

Just do your best. Weren't you the "do-anything idiot"?

[Satoshi] Mm.

-What? -Tell you later.

Chiko, a goodbye kiss?

We're in public, you perverted monkey.

I guess not.

Chiko!

[Satoshi] White 956, moving out.

[Inaba] Copy.

ALTERNATING ONE-WAY

[driver] Thanks, see you later.

-Thank you too. -[engine revving]

[Satoshi] Thank you for today.

Satoshi, great work today.

It was longer and tougher than expected, right?

It was.

Well, Mr. Inaba, I need to talk to you about something.

[Inaba] Why are you suddenly serious?

Well, actually,

I've decided to quit this job and start looking for a real career.

-Really? -Yes.

It's not much, but happy graduation!

You didn't have to.

Thanks for everything.

-I'm sorry. -[can clicks, fizzes]

Well...

Thank you.

You're still young, Satoshi.

You have to go explore what you're capable of.

Well, "exploring potential" might be a stretch.

If I'm gonna be with Chiko, I figured I need to get my act together.

So, get a job and maybe get married?

Married? Us?

Of course!

A couple living together

bumping uglies night and day...

Paths like that tend to open up.

[chuckles] Married?

[♪ cheery music playing]

[Chiko] What's all this? What's going on?

Well, I'm quitting my part-time job and getting a real job!

[Satoshi sucks teeth] All right.

What kind of a company should I choose?

Watch me!

This side's done.

Then we're done for the day.

Slow week?

[Chiko's mom] Look at this.

Getting a new CNC lathe machine?

It's used, though.

A tiny workshop like ours

has to take on the fussy jobs others reject, right?

That's it.

If we can run this through the night, we can take on jobs we couldn't before.

Where'd you get the money for that?

I'll scrape it together somehow.

This is when we go on the offensive.

Then I'll pitch in a bit more at home.

Idiot!

I'm not gonna leech off a kid.

Don't worry about it.

[Chiko] Got bored already?

[Satoshi] None of these click.

I'm starting to wonder what I'm even capable of doing.

How about this? "Immediate hiring. Sales role."

No way, I'm terrible at talking to people.

This one, a construction job.

Got a hernia, and if I push it, my asthma acts up.

Bad at cooking,

and I can hardly touch a computer.

Do you actually want a job?

Of course I do!

Then call somewhere, anywhere!

[Satoshi] Yeah. [sighs]

[Chiko tuts]

[Chiko breathing heavily]

-[smacks] -[Chiko grunts angrily]

[Satoshi] That's a blue-collar job magazine.

Why are you suddenly looking too?

Not sudden at all.

I said before I wanted to be a driver.

[sighs]

It's so good you know what you want to do.

Something you want to do? Don't be so spoiled.

Just do what you can.

Forgot how brutal job hunting was back in high school?

Back then, I'd get nervous and get diarrhea!

But meeting Chiko changed me!

[friend] 'Cause you lost your virginity?

-I'll fillet you like a fish. -[groans] It's not like that!

But if I do nothing,

she'll leave me in the dust.

Eiji-kun, take care of this too.

[Eiji] Sure!

Biologically speaking, you and Chiko are totally different species.

A garnish and a tuna steak will never be equal anyway.

So a garnish should just accept being thrown away?

[Eiji] Mm...

Here, look at me.

When I was a kid, I didn't look up to male staff here

and dream of working at a supermarket.

But you have to do what you have to do.

Once you try, you might see things differently.

Young man!

Stick a discount sticker on this too!

Can't beat these old ladies. Hang on. Don't tell anyone, okay?

[Satoshi's mom] Fits perfectly.

Your dad would be happy too.

Too soon! I haven't even had an interview yet.

Stop complaining and take it.

Why do you tie like that? Let me see.

Well...

If you don't get a proper job this time,

you're banned from this house.

You're gonna be an uncle soon.

Get your act together!

[Yasushi] I'll do it.

Fold it neatly edge-to-edge.

[Yasushi] Got it.

[Sayaka] Redo that one.

I'm home.

Okay, goodbye.

[Satoshi] Any luck?

Most places require a license held for over a year.

I see. [sighs]

Well, I'll just keep looking until I find one.

[Satoshi sighs]

[phone ringing]

Oh! It's the security company.

[breathing nervously] Huh?

Hello. What happened?

Huh?

Chiko, Mr. Inaba collapsed!

-[splutters] What do you mean? -Huh?

[Satoshi] He's now at the hospital, unconscious!

What should I do? If anything happens to him...

-How could I-- -Let's go.

Come on.

[Inaba laughs]

Nah! Just malnutrition and sleep deprivation!

IV isn't enough,

so I'm bingeing on everyone's gifts!

Satoshi was crying!

I was not!

Sorry for worrying you guys.

But I'm glad to see both of you.

How's life? Still going strong in both ways?

Stop talking nonsense.

[chuckles] Right!

Why not have a beauty here peel an apple for me?

-Here. -[Chiko] I'm terrible at this.

Is this because I left?

Did you overwork because you were short-staffed?

No.

I might not look it, but I'm twice divorced. Mm.

I've got plenty of red flags, and I'm working hard

to build up my kids' savings.

That's my whatchamacallit... eye-den...

Eye-den... tit-tee!

Maybe that's the wrong word.

[Inaba] Is it?

Anyway, never feel guilty for no reason.

Then, until you recover, I can--

I told you. I'm fine!

Just do what you want, Satoshi.

If it doesn't work out, you can always come back. Okay?

Yes.

[grunting]

Damn! I told you I'm terrible at this!

I didn't say a word! [chuckles]

Screw this! I'm done!

[Inaba and Satoshi chuckle]

-[insects chirping] -[frog croaking]

[Satoshi] Right here?

This is where we became one!

It's destiny!

To be back here on a night like this is superb!

Yeah, I agree.

You know,

my dad died from overwork.

He came home, went to sleep, and just never woke up.

[♪ gentle somber music playing]

[groaning]

Wh... What are you doing?

I'll do my best! I'll try everything!

If you don't get a job soon,

I'll become a driver before you.

[Satoshi] Wait, no!

I'm gonna find a job, work my ass off,

and stay with you forever,

and then...

And then what?

I will...

for now...

be running all the way home!

-Huh? What? -I'll start first!

[Satoshi shouts]

[grunting]

[chuckles]

[Satoshi shouts]

Real idiot.

[Satoshi shouts] I can do this!

[Satoshi] I saw the job ad.

Yes, my name is Yanagawa.

Right.

I'm 23.

Moriguchi City.

-Yes, hello? -For now, I only have a semi license.

-Interview? Of course. -Yes.

-Yes. -Yes.

-So, see you tomorrow. -Then, see you tomorrow.

Got it too?

I got an interview!

How about you, Chiko?

[excited gasp] It's destiny.

-[Satoshi] Destiny! -[Chiko] We haven't passed yet.

Go easy on it.

OSAKA'S TOP FOOD PICK, KUSHIKATSU (DEEP-FRIED SKEWERS)

[sizzling]

[crunching]

This is good.

[indistinct chatter]

[Eiji] Nothing beats this place.
