Please take a number!

Please take a number!

This isn't good,

Sir... you have to go to your interviews.

Yes, well...

I got diarrhea as soon as I left home and it wouldn't stop.

Now I'm scared of going outside...

That's not good sir...

Um, It's my first time here.

Please take a number and have a seat.

Number 46, please go to window No.6.

I'm Satoshi Minagawa.

- Nice to meet you. - Okay...

Ms. Sayuri Maejima...

Looks like you change jobs quite often.

Would you mind telling me your reasons for quitting?

I'm sorry Some companies are picky.

It's easier if I know these things firsthand...

There aren't any particular reasons. I just get bored easily.

I see. That's fine.

So you're looking for a travel agency with a 5-day workweek...

Okay, thank you. Maybe next time.

The good ones always get taken quickly...

Um, I think that's good for today.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'll give you a call if I find something.

Would it be best to call your cell phone?

- Yes. - Okay. Thank you, have a nice day.

Thanks.

"Sayuri Maejima 0902024..."

- Hey, so which one? - Huh?

This one.

Is it really gonna fit?

Pick it up. Pick it up!

Excuse me.

Isn't this a good one?

This one's better, no?

That's cute.

Excuse me.

Do you know what year this video is from?

It doesn't say.

The last one I bought here had a different title inside you know.

Really...

Hey look. I bet he's a collector.

- Does it star Diane Thorn? - What?

If so I'd buy it because it's out of print now.

Can I look inside?

I don't know anything. Don't buy it if you don't want it.

Hey, you two. You're high school kids right?

I gotta ask you to leave.

Ah. No.

We got pan time jobs...

I don't care.

You kids're messing with my business.

What kids.

Did you say something?

Oops.

Aww. I can't sell that now.

Will you pay for that?

If you ain't then I gotta call the cops.

Wait a minute.

I'll buy that.

Hey you, can you pick that up? and this too.

How much?

How much?

Oh, and separate bags, ok?

Here you go.

It's not like we wanted it.

Just take it.

You're too straightforward.

If you want something like this at your age,

you have to think of how you get it.

Besides there's no point in talking to an idiot.

Anyway, be more careful next time. See ya.

- What the hell was that? - We didn't ask for it or anything.

Nao! What's up?

Look at that.

Isn't that the guy?

"Nazi female prison."

"Siberia female prison."

He's hilarious.

Hey, let's go.

He's a full-blown freak isn't he.

Let's go home, it's cold...

Never mind. I'm going.

Huh? Why?

Hello.

- 4 humbows please. - Sure, that's 4 humbows?

Excuse me, sir.

God, what's his problem.

Hey.

What're you doing here?

Stalking.

"Violence Sex2."

"Sex Doll: Jenica Cup D."

You're pretty fast.

It's normal.

Damn, what a collection!

It's nothing special.

You go in strange guys' places often?

Sometimes.

What if they try to do something?

I kick their ass.

Unless I'm in the mood to do it.

You do look pretty strong.

Any for me?

I ate 'em... want it?

Nope.

Hey. Stop snooping around.

What's this?

That is to train myself.

Humans give in to their stupid desires so easily. Right?

I think you can control that if you regularly apply pain to yourself.

Plus, applying pain to your body works against psychological pain.

Try it when something you don't like happens...

It'll make you feel better.

You'll never get a woman that way.

I don't need a woman. I've got a fiancee.

I'm hoping to get married by next year.

Cockroaches are more than meets the eye.

- Did you know that Mami girl? - Huh?

Cockroaches are unusual insects

that haven't really evolved for more than 300 billion & 6,000 years.

There's nothing like it. Look at humans.

Under the name of progress we've endued up...

with cancer and aids and nervous breakdowns.

Compared to that, cockroaches have such an incredible will to live.

You know?

You don't have to listen to him.

- See ya uncle. - Yep.

39...

40

Oh god. That guy's got some serious hurting going on.

You should come next time, Mami.

There's a shitload of crap like this.

You should stop hanging out with that creep.

How many was that?

I dunno.

Wow.

Hey, that tickles.

Come on.

I said stop it.

Stop.

Let's stop already.

- I'm gonna go. - What?

Let's go get something to eat.

I got plans.

Really?

I feel so tired of everyday y'know.

Like its always the same.

Yeah, but so what can we do about it?

You still don't lose weight.

Don't like it?

Is this the one you called me about?

No, there was one that matched your request.

But someone got to it first.

Again? Never mind already.

Uh, just a sec.

Since you're here I'll search a little more.

I'm looking after my brother too. I need to find a job.

I understand...

- Your brother can't work pan time? - Huh?

He's already in high school.

So it's probably okay to have him work...

I feel that you're over protecting your brother.

Why should I have to hear you tell me this?

I'm sorry. I said too much.

But I'm saying these things for your sake.

Good bye.

Diarrhea again?

Hello.

What?

Is Mami here?

Mami left with a guy.

Huh?

She's not coming back.

What the hell...

Hey Maruyama, come here.

Yes sir?

This guy by the magazines.

He's been here reading for about 2 hours everyday.

Don't you think that's a little odd?

Not really.

It's definitely odd.

He's an investigator that headquarters sent in.

He's secretly watching how we manage things here.

What? Like a spy?

Bring him down if he does anything strange.

I'll beat it out of him.

But isn't it a bad idea to go against headquarters?

Why are you worried about the ones who aren't around?

Just listen to what I tell you.

Sorry.

Um. Where's your restroom?

Oh, please.

Oh hey, Miss Maejima. Do you live around here?

What a coincidence...

I should sound more cheerful.

200 yen is your change. Thank you very much.

Excuse me sir.

Let me go.

Let me go! Now's the time!

What're you talking about?!

Asshole.

I didn't take anything!

Want me to call the police?!

What the hell?

You want buns?

God this is so boring.

What're you looking at? You wanna fuck me?

What? No...

I just want to ask you to do something for me...

What?

So this is the fiancee?

Yup. Pretty isn't she?

She totally looks like a slut.

The one being picked on is her younger brother.

Where is it? You, answer me.

Is he really her brother?

Are you sure they're not scamming you.

It's the worst situation.

The woman I'm marrying practices incest.

I think I'm gonna go crazy.

Does she really want to get married?

No, probably not yet.

What the hell does that mean?

I haven't told her how I feel yet.

That's hilarious.

I tried a lot of things.

I can't seem to find the right timing.

Why don't you rape her?

She looks like the type to go along with a pushy guy.

Rape her...

To make things shod,

I want you to find things out about her for me.

I want to know something

that'll give me a chance to get closer to her.

You seem to be good at that kind of thing.

So you want me to be a stalker?

No. It's research.

People hire Pls to find out about their future spouses right?

It's that kinda thing.

I can do it but...

But what?

Give me a spare key to this place.

I'll do it if you let me use this place whenever I want.

Where is it? Give it to me now.

Here?

Give it to me.

Here it is.

- Hurry up stupid. - Who's that?

What're you looking at?

I know you got more.

Where is it, here?

Here?

Give it!

Here?

What the fuck you looking at?

What's your problem? Say something.

Why're you following me?

Go home.

- I'm back. - Welcome home.

I brought some weirdo. She's hurt.

This is Ohta. This is my sister Sayuri.

Hi.

So unusual for you to bring a girl home.

What happened, you fell?

Hold on, I'll take care of that.

Stand up, I'll help you take your pants off.

It's okay, I'll do it myself.

Come on, just get up.

Really, it's not a big deal.

I'm making curry so have it with Nao okay?

What about you?

I'm eating out tonight.

We're gonna talk about a job.

That creep, you're still seeing him?

Shut up.

Make yourself at home okay?

I'll show you something interesting.

It's okay. Eat it.

What're you doing in there?

I dropped my keys.

I found it.

That mushroom isn't working on you is it.

You went to sleep right after.

But I felt kinda good.

Maybe we'll try increase the amount next time.

Let's eat.

Fred Neil huh...

I've never heard of him.

She's quite the music maniac.

What about the relationship with her brother?

It's too early for that yet.

Right...

But to think that you got into her house on the first day.

Don't you have any more info for me?

I can't find out everything at once.

That's true.

It's good. It's good.

Shall we watch something?

Hey, Sayuri is real pretty isn't she?

Really?

She's got a boyfriend and stuff right?

Dunno.

She's kinda flighty.

I bet she doesn't really have anyone she likes.

Hmm.

Sounds like you really know her well.

Does it?

Maybe you're actually in love with Sayuri?

You don't know shit so stop making things up.

I'm going back first.

Okay.

- Where'd you get these? - I grow them at home.

Oh, hello. Nice to see you again.

I'm so sorry. Really.

No, don't worry about it.

I'm used to this.

But please go to the job I found for you.

I will.

I was happy with you.

These are cute.

Sorry, did that hurt?

Hey.

That's the address.

A record store...

She's probably started around today.

Great. It was a long way here.

Thanks to you, Finally I got a way to approach her.

See ya.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Can you come here a sec?

Hey! It's Miss Maejima isn't it?

Oh! From the Job Center.

I'm sorry, what was your name again?

It's Minagawa.

Satoshi Minagawa.

Are you working here?

- Yes, pan time. - Oh, pan time.

But what a coincidence.

And what did you want?

You just called me over.

Oh yeah.

I'm looking for the first album by Fred Neil.

Do you have it here?

Looks like it got sold. There was a copy until recently.

I see.

I've been looking for that original press for a while now.

Do you listen to that kind of music?

Yeah well. How 'bout you Miss Maejima?

I love it. I'm quite the maniac.

Really.

If you like Fred Neil, then there's one that I think you'd like.

Oh...

This is great.

Isn't it?

It's a real minor acid folk sound, but it's quite good.

Yeah, it's great.

I bet you like Tim Buckley Mr. Minagawa?

And like Dino Valente, the lead singer from Quicksilver?

Yeah, those guys are good too.

Do you have Dino Valente's solo album?

No, I think I might have sold it.

Oh, so it wasn't really your thing.

No, just that I personally just think Fred Neil is the one.

I know I'm jumping subjects, but do you like ad?

I like looking at art.

I have a couple Klimt exhibit tickets, would you like to go?

No way. I love Klimt!

- Really? Then let's go together. - Let's go.

Then how 'bout as early as tomorrow?

That works. I work until 5:30 though.

Okay, I'll come pick you up around that time.

Okay.

Man, Klimt is awesome.

I have a book on his paintings, but the real thing is so different.

Which one did you like?

Me? Hmm.

I can't pick just one.

They were all great.

All of them huh... I can't say the same.

There were a few I didn't really like.

Yeah, well I guess everyone's different.

Like for example...

Hey, there's a Thai restaurant around here.

Would you like to try?

Would you like to eat dinner at my place?

- I'll cook for you. - What?

You sure?

There are lots of records I wanna have you listen to too.

You're pretty racy.

Don't get the wrong idea.

My brother will be there.

I'll introduce you. He likes trippy stuff too.

Brother huh.

- I'm back. - Welcome home.

This is Mr. Minagawa. This is my younger brother Kou.

Nice to meet you..

Nice to meet you.

And his friend, Nao.

Nice to meet you..

Have a seat and make yourself at home.

I don't know how good it is, but please eat up.

You want some juice, Nao?

I'll have wine too.

You're all quiet all of a sudden. What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

This is pretty funny.

Here, have a peanut Kou.

It's all hard. I don't want it.

No way. Oh well.

Kou.

Yes?

Wanna hand wrestle?

That came outta the blue.

Hey, sounds fun.

Let's do it. You'll probably loose anyway, Kou.

I'm not gonna do it.

It's just for fun. Come on.

No, I don't wanna.

Okay? Here we go.

Ready... go!

You lost after all.

Shut up.

I'll go next.

Good! I bet you'd put on a good fight Nao.

She's really beefed up y'know.

Oh. It's not that much fun.

Aw, let's do it.

Maybe it'll be more fun if there's a reward.

Hey, that sounds nice. Got something in mind?

How 'bout you kissing the winner sis?

I don't mind.

That's that then.

I guess we'll have to do it then.

Wow! Wow!

Wow Nao. You're so strong.

Hurry up and kiss her already.

Shut up, I know.

I'm going to bed.

Hey!

Wait!

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

How come you didn't let me win?

That's my business.

What?

What the hell are you talking about?

Don't get so flustered over a kiss. Idiot.

What's going on? What the fuck are you thinking?

Why were you at the house in the first place?!

H..hey!

But you don't like my brother that much?

I think we're just being shy with each other that's all.

Yeah, Well he's a bit strange I guess.

Like what?

What's that mean?

Nothing really...

Sometimes you get really defensive don't you?

I just don't like having people keep secrets from me.

Nao?

Shut up, you idiot!

You shut up, asshole!

Wait here a minute.

Don't get carried away.

Don't ever get near her again!

Nao!

What's up?

I haven't seen you around lately.

Nothing.

No problem!

Check this commune out.

It's in the middle of a mountain in the boonies.

But there's tons growing out there.

I plan on living there for a while.

I'm leaving tonight, wanna go too?

I'm not going...

I'll stay here.

Yeah?

Okay.

Well, you take care.

Yeah. Be careful.

You okay? You have the key?

You okay?

"We're home!" but no one's home.

- You should lie down. - I'm okay.

Where's Kou?

- He's not home yet. - No way.

Kou?

Wait a sec...

What are you doing? Let go of me.

Hey, come on.

What're you doing?

You dirty old man.

Can you leave?

Aw come on.

I can stay over can't I?

You can't, 'cause Kou is coming home.

What do you mean?

What's going on with you two?

Are you jealous? What an idiot.

I'm not going home.

I'm gonna sleep in your room.

Whatever.

What's wrong?

You wanting to see me all of a sudden...

- I got this yesterday. - What?

Is it true?

I saw the tapes too.

Did you really use her to do this?

Did you?

So scary.

Calm down, what a mess.

I can't give a response.

You're just pushing everything down my throat.

Besides, you're calling me a stalker but you're already wrong there.

It's normal for someone to check up on their future spouse.

I just did that a little early.

Why should I marry you?

Anyways, I'm never going to see you again.

Wait.

Why won't you understand how I feel?

I've been so into you since the moment we met.

I can't do anything about how I feel.

But how can you do it like this?

Like this?

People do things differently. It should be different.

Why can't you relax if it's not done like everyone else does it?

Don't you think that's just cowardice?

That's it.

Wait.

Please, wait!

Okay, let's talk it over. Just one minute.

One minute. Have a seat.

- Mister. - What?

No, it's okay.

Really, it's all okay.

Well...

If you hate it that much.

I can't help it.

I'll stop.

How about we stay friends like before?

Let's go see an an exhibit again. Want another cup of coffee?

Okay...

This place is no good.

Hey waiter!

Yes.

Yes sir?

You're no good. Move!

Stop it.

Please. Calm down.

A month later.

Sayuri suddenly found a job overseas and flew to Africa.

She ended up not seeing Kou.

And Satoshi began his long-term hospital stay.

According those who went to visit him.

He was smiling warmly the whole time they were there.

One day I got a wedding notice from Mami who had gone missing.

Apparently she's going to have the ceremony on a southern island.

Who the hell is he?

There's no spy, sir...

I'm fine.

lam fine all on my own.

You're still here?
