Original subtitles

That's it.

You're in your second month.

Then, I'm...

Congratulations.

Sorry to make you help me.

Not at all.

It's hard to clean up by myself.

Shizuoka...

That's where I'm being transferred to...

The office is small, but the air is clean there.

It's country, but I guess I can't complain.

You must have heard the rumor,

and think I'm horrible.

But... it's all a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

Mizuki has no family in Tokyo, so

I felt sorry for her and took her out.

Why are you saying that?

I just want someone to know the truth.

She said she was happy.

She said she felt closer to you now

because of what has happened.

Women lose out, don't they?

I'll dump the rubbish.

Episode 3 : Female friends

- May I speak to you? - I'm in a hurry...

- Just for a few minutes. - I'm busy.

What are you angry about?

What am I angry about?

Who were you last night?

Are you just toying with Naoko and me?

You didn't give me an answer.

Why?

You were with Naoko that night...

...weren't you?

I see...

You won't see me if I sleep with other women.

Thank you very much. Please come again.

I will take your place now.

Thank you.

This car will be going up.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you for shopping at Sogo...

This is the fourth floor.

We are at the fourth floor.

This car will be going up.

I'm very sorry.

I'm very sorry.

What kind of training do these girls go through?

I will reprimand her.

I don't feel like shopping.

We will be more careful in the future.

- Please accept this. - Still...

It is our token of a sincere apology.

Oh, all right.

Be careful from now on.

I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. I won't write you up.

Ms. Sawaki...

About earlier...

I didn't know Mizuki confided in you, so...

I won't tell her what you said.

I don't think she'd believe me

even if I did tell her.

Good night.

Have you seen Mr. Shima since then?

It doesn't concern you.

It does. I'm seeing him tonight.

Does that bother you?

No.

All right, I'll do as I please.

See you.

What shall I do?

Hi!

What?

There's a man...

In your room? Don't brag about it.

No, a stranger.

A thief?

I'll be there.

Shall I call the police?

Here I go.

What?

Thief! How dare you!

I'm not a thief.

What?

That hurts.

Of course!

Well?

Are you all right?

He's not much.

Help...

Help? You're a thief.

Toru!

It's you!

Tsukasa...

Do you know him?

He's my childhood friend.

Are you all right?

I thought he was a thief...

You rogue!

Toru! Are you okay?

It's done.

A little bit more soy sauce...

How did you get in?

The landlord let me in.

Why?

I said I was a relative.

He believed you?

He seemed suspicious.

I bet he thinks you're my boyfriend.

Dinner's ready.

I'm coming in.

Tsukasa, get the mustard.

Let's eat. Sorry about earlier.

- Does it hurts? - Yes.

Well, of course.

Here you go.

I'll uncover it.

It looks delicious!

Eat up.

I love Japanese radish.

Aren't you going to eat?

How about some fish cake, radish...?

You may have done it.

Your punch may have made me forget

all that I studied for tomorrow's test.

It's your fault if he fails.

You hit him so hard.

What?

Something bad must've happened to you again.

You always get upset. Was she always like this?

She's changed.

She's worse?

She's even prettier now.

It's the makeup.

That's it.

You seem mature.

I'm not. Eat up.

My sister wrote about you studying hard.

I have to pass this time.

Do your best.

Eat some boiled eggs.

Thank you.

How about you?

Shall I rinse it?

That's all right.

You've got guts.

I went to the bathroom and I didn't wash my hands.

I'm joking.

- No, you're not. - I am.

- Really? - Really.

I wasn't joking.

Stop it!

You sure get along.

Are you her boyfriend?

He has a wife and a child in Osaka.

I just happen to be her neighbor.

I see.

She has one.

You do?

No!

I don't have a boyfriend.

Where will you be staying tonight?

Well...

Thank you.

Wasn't that restaurant expensive?

I can splurge at times.

Thank you.

This may be our last walk in Tokyo.

When are you leaving...

...for Shizuoka?

Next week.

February 28...

We're supposed to celebrate your birthday.

I'm 37...

We're 17 years apart.

That's no reason to break our date.

Today I...

I have to go.

I have to discuss things with my wife.

About a divorce?

Yes.

Call me. I'll be up.

I'll be able to stay with you, won't I?

Sleep here.

This side's fine.

I can't have you catch a cold.

But...

I'll hit you again.

Thank you.

I bet you thought she'd let you stay over.

You're naive.

Is... Tsukasa seeing someone?

I'm going to see him tonight.

Will miso soup and rice be enough for breakfast?

Let me help you.

You'll only get in the way.

It's me.

The door's open.

I'm sorry about Toru.

Forget it. It's fate.

- Toru? - Yes?

This will keep your hands warm.

Thanks.

Good luck on your test.

Good night.

You like her, don't you?

First love...

You better pass the test, and move to Tokyo.

The man who's near will win the woman's heart.

I'll pass the exam.

- Good night. - Good night.

Naoko!

You forgot this.

Mr. Takagi...

Good morning.

She caught us together.

Naoko... Naoko.

What's going on?

Weren't you with Mr. Shima last night?

Naoko!

Good morning.

Wait...

Wait.

Oh, it's you.

Didn't you hear me?

Sorry, I had some things on my mind.

I waited for your call last night.

How did it go with your wife?

We'll talk later.

What?

I want to know the truth.

You saw us.

Why did you say you were going to see Mr. Shima?

Why did you lie?

Get off!

Did you lie about sleeping with him, too?

Get off...

I'd like the colors darker, too.

Yes, okay.

Ah! Tsuka!

This seat is open.

Come on.

I'm sorry, but the seat's taken.

Come on.

Lunch break?

The meeting's almost over.

I'll be leaving soon.

You should've told me you had a lunch date.

I don't...

We didn't plan to meet...

Ah, I see. What will you have?

Coffee.

One more coffee, please.

It's hot. Perhaps it's the heater.

I wonder how he's doing.

Toru...

I get nervous watching him.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

This is fine.

I have a stiff neck.

We'll promote this at the toy fair.

You have a call.

Mr. Shima...

I'd like... to see you again.

You told her that I slept with you.

You're the lowest.

How's this?

Close up.

She didn't come home last night either.

I'll wait.

It might get late.

It's okay, I have to talk to her.

Masato, put your heart into it.

Don't crumple it!

How many times do I have to tell you?

Hold both ends...

Then, fold like this...

Can you do the rest?

Hey wait!

He's hopeless.

Is anything the matter?

It's nothing serious.

I'm glad.

But...

There are some things I cannot forgive.

What are you doing here?

Are you drunk?

What if I am?

Why don't you say it?

Tell me the truth. Did you really sleep with...

Is that what you want to know?

I didn't know you liked him that much.

Do you want to sleep with him too?

That's enough!

Don't be a goody-goody!

You're trying to hurt yourself!

I'm sick of you pretending to care about me!

How spiteful must you be?

Quiet!

Don't act like a friend!

I won't!

I felt pitiful.

He wouldn't lay a finger on me.

He only stayed with me in the car.

He wouldn't say a word...

He was sitting right next to me,

but he seemed so far away.

I knew I was causing him trouble,

but I love him...

Women are awful...

When they fall in love...

They can only think about him.

They stay by the phone...

just because the man says he'll call.

Waiting for the call all night long...

Wondering if he's with another woman...

Wondering if he really loves her...

Unable to suppress her feelings...

She becomes the tragic heroine.

It's not tragic...

It's a farce.

Today he told me...

that I was the lowest.

That's what the man I love said to me.

Naoko...

I don't want you to comfort me!

To: Sawaki Tsukasa From: Sawaki Nozomi

It's me, Toru. I'm at the train station.

I'm about to go home.

I think I did okay on the test. See you.

The hand warmer helped.

Yes?

It's me, Yoshimoto.

Sorry, it's so late.

This is from Toru.

I wonder what it is.

Good night.

Thank you.

Don't let it bother you...

Whatever happened to you and Mr. Shima...

- Good night. - Good night.

Sis, how are you?

Yesterday I saw Tomomi at the post office.

She asked me about you.

You two were such close friends,

but don't even correspond now.

My friends change every year, too.

True friends remain friends though.

Do you have friends now?

Are they your true friends?

Good morning.

What should I do?

Use it.

Thanks. I'll get you a new pair.

Of course.

What?

Don't get me a cheaper brand.

Tight.

We haven't made up.

I have been working here for three years...

I will be transferred to the Shizuoka branch.

I have many fond memories here...

and regret having to leave here.

I heard you were here.

Yes?

You won't quit, will you?

I'm going to follow him.

I will.

Does he know?

Why?

Thank you for worrying about me.

But I believe in him.

Naoko told me...

that nothing happened.

Why didn't you say so?

Was there reason to?

All that matters is if you like the person or not.

It's not that simple for me.

But don't you like me?

I can't go with you.

What do you mean?

We can't both go to Shizuoka.

I feel bad for you...

Don't worry about me. I want to be with you.

No. I can't divorce her.

It was just a fling.

Eh?

No...

If I knew this was going to happen I would not have approached you.

That's a lie.

Look at me...

You are lying.

No. I regret having this affair.

Bye.

Did you really tell your wife?

Ms. Sawaki, over here.

Sawaki speaking.

It's me.

I'll wait for you tonight... at the bar.

I thought you'd come.

Let's go inside.

Why did I fall in love?

You'll have your way with my heart.

I shouldn't see you.

I'm often told that I'm cold

and hard to figure out.

Cheers.

I finally got to see you...

...like this.
