Three more yen...

If you start talking to me,

I lose track!

I'm sorry!

�300, �400...

I'll take you over here.

That's � 1,000

200, no,100,200...

Let's go out later.

That's � 1,500...

You're not listening.

Me?

That's � 1,595.

Is there anyone else here?

What can I do?

Your Section Chief

held it up at the design stage!

Papa...

What are you talking about?

We can't meet that schedule now!

Are you trying to start a fight?

Papa!

Sorry. My kid's making noise.

You're the one making noise!

Sis, will you get that?

Yes?

She's busy now. Can you call back?

If you want to know who I am,

tell me who you are first.

'Itokyu'?

Itokyu?

Who?

Excuse me. Thank you for calling.

This is 'Sisters Gourmet Catering'.

This is about the party on the 1 0th?

Yes...yes...yes...

You know Rie likes Kota!

What are you up to?

Nothing in particular...

You just want to be...

...'Little Miss Nice' to everyone.

School isn't going to be much fun for you from now on.

Hey, Yukari!

Toshi!

So you're here!

How are you?

Great! It's been a while. How are you?

You know what happened? I went out to eat a while ago...

...and there was a bug in my food!

So did you eat it?

No!

I wouldn't eat that!

I might eat anything, but not a bug.

Excuse me.

A gin lime, please.

Anyway, I'm tired of here. Let's go to karaoke.

Yeah!

You gotta come, Yukari!

Singing and dancing!

Another gin lime, please.

Hey...

...that's mine.

That's amazing...

How do you do that?

Excuse me, who's that girl?

Up there.

What?

One more.

Where do you live?

'Night.

'Bye.

The remote...

Where is it?

That's weird...

How did you get in?!

Is this OK?

Wait a minute!

Hey!

Ow!

Who are you?!

Why did you follow me?

This is work!

Why can't you just wait at home?

OK, OK, I get it! Cut it out!

OK! OK!

Cut it out, will you?

Kato?

Who's here?

No one.

You're four minutes late.

Oh, shit!

You all drew that so well!

You've gotten better.

We'll draw again tomorrow.

Don't forget your crayons.

See you tomorrow.

Bye-bye!

Hello. I'm here for Chii.

Hello. I'll go get her.

Thank you.

Chii! Kasumi's here.

OK.

Your papa's going to be late at work again.

Why is he always busy?

Hmm...

Ask him.

Why don't you?

Huh?

What's that in my pocket?

What flavor is it?

Strawberry!

'Bright red tears, drip, drip, drip...

'Yellow tears, drip, drip, drip...

'Falling all around the world...

'...turning into candy drops.'

Hello.

How does it look?

Good.

OK. Clear the equipment away.

Roger.

Lend me that.

That's good.

Turn it on.

That looks good!

Yeah, it does.

That's all right, then?

That's going to stand out real good.

It will.

It looks good.

Get married again.

Raising a kid isn't a man's job.

Women these days don't want kids.

It's worth a man's while to make them want his child.

You're years out of date!

Talk to a modern woman sometime.

What's this? Are you bragging

about how you can?

I didn't say that!

Giving me a hard time!

Act your age for once!

Look at that shirt!

It's a great shirt!

Good work.

Yoshikawa...Let's go and eat.

I have to get Chii.

Just a beer...

No.

Sorry I'm so late.

That's a cool shirt!

Yeah?

Good night.

Welcome back, Papa.

Thanks. Go to sleep.

Did you go up the building?

Yep.

You can't see the moon tonight.

No, you're right.

Huh?

Is that new draft beer sold out already?

What the...?!

The one with the blue label?

Yeah.

That's seasonal.

It's all gone now. It is?

Wait...

How about this?

This?

It's a good full-bodied beer.

Yeah?

Yes.

'Full-bodied'? What does that mean?

OK.

Thank you.

I'll take two.

Thanks.

Come on, don't look like that!

OK, I'll take three, but that's all.

What's 'full-bodied'?

What's 'full-bodied'?

Sorry...

Over here.

Shall I heat these?

You want this?

Why are you sitting there?

Who?

A big girl.

What girl?

That one.

That's a man, not a girl.

And this is standing, not sitting.

That's � 1,839.

But she's...

Here you go.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Good night.

I'm beat.

Can we change shifts tomorrow?

Um...

What?

Maybe this is out of line...

...but the boss is married.

It's nothing serious.

It was just once.

Is that such a great idea?

Why am I hearing this?

I'm not married to you,

or going out with you...

Then marry me!

Don't look like that!

You've been acting really weird lately.

Get yourself a girlfriend.

And stop singing like an idiot out in the back.

We can hear you.

'l wanna be a hero...'

You heard that?

You poor guy...

We could do it.

I'm free tonight.

Keep your voice down!

There's no one here.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

No, it's nothing!

Hey!

You're a real jerk.

OK! Pick up the balls!

We put your desk next to Pig.

She's really going to sit there!

Sure, Yukari's cute...

...but still...

Yeah, I know!

I'm nothing special.

Why should she care about me?

You don't have to soothe me.

Lots of people have things worse.

Go help them.

Yeah, OK, OK! Cut it out!

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Could you just fly, or just walk?

One thing or the other?

Or maybe I should fly...

That's great! I wish I could fly.

Hey, watch out, will you!

You'll hit someone!

Is beer OK?

Here.

The store's a long way!

Quiet, cabbage brain!

Hm?

OK. I'll go buy some.

Back soon.

Just kidding!

They asked for crab croquettes.

With Zuwai crab?

What are they thinking about?

Canned crab is fine,

or even boiled crab paste!

This is what they asked for.

What about the viscera?

I'll mix them with cream in a sauce.

Don't get so fancy!

Boil them and we'll snack on them!

There's lots here.

Hands off!

I'm back!

Not in there...

Upstairs?

Hey!

Aren't they ready yet?

Yep!

Well?

Americans throw out the insides.

That's bullshit.

Then they should give Japan the rights

to all their crab insides.

We'll give them the whales.

Sis, give me some.

Just a little.

Huh?

Did you drink this?

You know I don't drink.

Hm?

Then who did?

People ignore you 'cause you read

those heavy books.

But it's true.

'Death is a lonely business.'

You had a fight, huh?

Why don't you just make up?

Don't go talking to Pig!

You're sad.

It's all right to cry.

Go ahead.

Cry all you want.

The ocean's the best place for that.

Let's go there.

OK?

Wake up.

It's time to go.

Chii's waiting.

Are you tired?

Should I go?

No. I'll go.

The boss said to get married again.

Did he say who to?

No. It's just talk.

You could. Chii's cute, too.

Then marry me.

I told you!

I don't like kids.

I never know what to say

to a child that age.

What do you talk about?

Nothing.

I give her candy...

...or we sing.

Don't give her too much sweet stuff.

She'll get cavities.

Hello.

Could you break this?

Uh, sure.

Here.

Thanks.

What's the matter? Let's go.

Off to Kasumi!

We're out of mayo!

Stop putting mayonnaise on everything.

A pork cutlet sandwich

takes sauce and mustard-seed.

Is this the pro speaking?

I'm sorry.

You'd think I was a chef...

I'll go buy some.

You said sauce, so go with it!

Pull a punch once it's thrown and you lose.

No. I'll go buy some mayonnaises.

Did you drink that?

No.

Well, it wasn't me.

It wasn't me!

We found this.

Sorry?

Thanks.

What the hell?

Lost: Male Tortoiseshell Cat

Named 'Boo'.

Kenichiro...

Eat your peppers.

You hate tomatoes, right?

And you don't like onions, right?

What don't you like?

I eat anything.

Isn't that great!

Isn't it, Chii?

We've never eaten together before.

It's fun, isn't it.

Isn't it.

Chii...wouldn't you like to have a mother at home?

I'm OK just with you.

What's he talking about?

You already have a mother.

But she left.

Why?

Ask Papa.

Why?

Mama says she likes me,

but she's lying.

I'd tell you why, but I'd cry.

What are you talking about?!

Your mother loves you!

But she's got a boyfriend,

so she can't live with us.

I'm a pain in the butt.

Don't say that!

Do you think so, too?

Only butts say 'butt'.

Go, Daddy, go!

Don't fool around.

Only fools say 'fool'.

Excuse me...coffee.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Listen...

... I don't like being forced.

'Forced'?

That's what this is.

It shows lack of respect for me and for Chii.

Well, you take care of her,

so I just thought we'd have dinner...

Thank you.

Good night.

There's a lot of weird old men out there, so be careful.

I'm really sorry!

No, no! Mizuho didn't do anything wrong.

I'm a single mother...

...and I've always wanted to avoid confirming people's prejudices.

I've always tried to teach her that.

It's not like I killed someone.

I just skipped school.

Say what you want to.

Say something.

Why is it always silence?

Will you stop doing that!

Mizuho! Where are you going?!

I'm sick of this!

It's not my fault you're single!

What?

It's yours!

Mizuho! Wait!

What?

Leave me alone.

No one'll care if I die.

'Sapphire Shogun'...

'Rosemary Sapphire Infusion'...

'Barbed Bombay'...

That's got gum syrup...

For gin you need lime.

Today you go to school, OK?

What?

Nothing.

'Morning.

'Morning.

'The October Country'...

That one looks better.

It's the same writer.

You're always reading...

Yep.

Piglet!

Stop it!

Go get it.

It's all right, Miss Kawamura.

I'll get it.

No.

You go.

They're real good friends now!

Are you going to take that?

Don't take that, Horiguchi!

What?

Who are you?

Go away!

No!

She can see her...

No! Stop it!

Is she OK?

Let's call a teacher!

No! No!

Here it is!

There.

Thanks!

You have a kind of strength.

Is someone with you?

You'll laugh...

I won't!

An angel.

Stupid, huh?

Wow!

She's not so fancy as that...

More...Like an animal?

A cat, maybe...

A wild one?

A stray cat...

...if that fits an angel...

It's not strange. Some cats

are strays, and so are some people.

I always thought angels came for the dying.

Well, there are 'guardian angels'...

Maybe they're supposed to look after people.

Yeah?

That must be hard.

I don't have any friends.

It's depressing to think

I'll be all alone till graduation.

But some days I'm in a really good mood.

Then I don't care what anyone says to me.

I don't care if no one's on my side.

Do you have days like that?

Yes.

Then don't you think maybe there's an angel with you?

Yeah!

Hey...

...are you Papa's girlfriend?

I should have said.

But for him I come second.

You come first.

You have to say that or I'll cry.

That's the truth.

Your papa doesn't tell lies.

Sometimes that costs him.

But...

...that's what I like about him.

OK?

Excuse me... I'm looking for

this cat...if you see him...

Excuse me... I've lost my cat.

If you see him...

Excuse me... I've lost my cat.

If you see him, could you call me?

Excuse me...my cat's lost.

If you see him, please call me.

Excuse me, I'm looking for this cat...

What are you drawing?

This is a girl who was at the convenience store.

She's got wings. Like an angel.

'Angel'?

God's messengers.

They just come in stories, though.

She was in the store.

In the store...

Satoru, have you ever seen an angel?

Yep. The one I saw was a kid.

The one I saw was a big girl.

Mine was a boy with no clothes on.

He was peeing.

Mine had clothes on.

What the hell! She wasn't naked?

Satoru!

The boy angel lives in the Principal's office.

He's there all the time?

Sure! Go and see.

I see...that must have been rough.

Especially when I think how

he's always after me for pocket money.

Well, I shoplifted when I was a kid.

Gum, stuff like that.

This wasn't just gum.

He loaded up

at a chain-store warehouse!

You don't want a son, let me tell you.

You're lucky. Yours is a girl,

and she's still small.

Chii's dad's late tonight.

Yeah, he's really late.

It must be hard, being a single father.

It's no easier for a woman.

What?

Where did Chii go?

Chii?!

This crab's hard to eat!

But it's damn good, isn't it.

He doesn't know what I went through.

Two extra years to get him into

university, and now he's a thief!

Yoshikawa, they're cute

till they're two.

Don't forget that. Two.

My girl's five.

Why aren't you eating?

Are you going to leave all that?

Hey! Listen to me!

Excuse me...

Give me a break, will you?

Hello?... I'm running a bit late.

Mr Yoshikawa?

What's wrong?

Mr Yoshikawa...

... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

She's a little girl.

She can't have gone far!

We've looked,

but we can't find her!

Perhaps she's at home?

Then would I be here?!

I'll go look for her.

Have you seen a little girl?

No...

No? OK, thanks.

Have you seen a girl, about this high?

I'm afraid not.

OK, thanks.

Why are you here?

Because I thought of you?

Wow! So you know when I'm thinking about you!
