Original subtitles

What are you doing there? It's cold.

Is anything the matter?

I was waiting...

I was waiting for you.

You're cold. Go home and take a hot bath.

I love you...

I love you.

Tsuka...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Uhm... uhm...

Yes?

Uhm...

What day are you free this week?

I have tomorrow off.

Tomorrow?

Why?

Well...

Would you like to go on a date?

Well?

Forget it.

What time?

Forget it.

What time?

Then...?

Where shall I meet you?

Here... at ten.

All right.

I'm going to be late!

I'm looking forward to it.

What?

I'm looking forward to it.

I'll start the escalator.

Did something happen?

You look awfully happy.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Thank you.

See you.

I'll wait...

...until you come back to me.

Please don't...

I...

You like someone else.

Mr. Yoshimoto?

I'll still wait.

Naoko...

Episode 8 - The last date

You just took off last week to go to Osaka.

I'll work straight through after tomorrow.

No.

Please. Please.

Mr. Yoshimoto, you have a call.

Yoshimoto speaking.

The prices are off by one line.

Yes, it was your company's error.

Hello... it's a mess here!

Come here right away.

Let's eat.

What about you?

I'll eat, too.

Go on ahead of me.

I'll save your seats.

What's going on?

I have no excuses...

...about me and Mr. Shima.

Not that.

Mr. Yoshimoto...

...is a married man.

Don't be foolish.

Naoko... I...

Yes?

May I come in?

Can you help us?

What happened?

There was a printing error...

Can you help us get all the fliers from the desks?

Isn't Mr. Yoshimoto in charge of that?

That's right.

I'll help.

These are from the reception desks.

Thank you.

Please wait here for the corrected ones.

This isn't like you. We'll lose our customers' trust.

I'm very sorry.

I told you to switch over to a bigger printing firm.

I'm holding you responsible for this.

I am very sorry.

We all had to scramble this morning...

I'm very sorry.

We'll probably go with another printer.

Please give us another chance.

I am very sorry for the trouble...

Really I'm very sorry.

Can you reprint everything by tomorrow morning?

Yes.

Get the ad...

We can't go with them.

We're on a rush and they know what to do.

Thank you very much.

I know it's a tight schedule...

We made the mistake, so

we'll correct it.

We're at fault, too, for not catching it.

Not at all...

We can switch to another company...

Right...

But I don't want to over something like this.

Not when it comes to you.

You like...

...Tsukasa, don't you?

Yes, I do.

My days in Tokyo would be great...

...if she'd be my girlfriend.

What do you mean by that?

I'm over thirty and I'm married.

I'm lucky if I can have her, too.

I won't let you have her,

if you're not serious about her!

I can't get serious about romance at my age.

Hey, I've brought it.

Yes?

Is it all okay?

Are you that worried...

...about Mr. Yoshimoto?

It'll be okay.

Thank you very much.

Don't catch cold now.

Work hard.

Masato, don't get cozy with the customers.

It's part of the service.

Cut that out.

Make us something.

Good evening.

I don't want to eat here,

but it's before payday.

Can't she be nice? Have a seat.

How is Ms. Mizuki...

...the one who attempted suicide?

She took some time off to go back home.

She's young and pretty...

To have an affair...

There's another case here, too.

Are you...? I won't allow it!

What about the man's wife and kids?

Not me...

Ms. Sawaki?

Can't be.

Don't scare me like that.

I'll make you some delicious ramen.

You didn't look like you'd have an affair, so

you're not the kind to have one.

You know what happened to Ms. Mizuki.

Women lose out.

She was serious...

Serious?

She was serious about Chief Maeno.

All the more so... You'll only get hurt.

You can't really fall in love, if

you're afraid of getting hurt.

How can you say that

when you've never slept with a man?

I have.

With Mr. Shima?

I see...

Be careful.

And Mr. Yoshimoto?

Have you slept with him?

That...

...doesn't matter.

I'm happy as long as...

...he stays by me.

What's so good about him?

He's not worth dumping Mr. Shima.

Guys like him are lucky.

They don't look like they'd deceive anyone.

They act like they're just nice guys...

I'm serious about him!

I'm serious...

Ramen's done...

Serve them.

Thank you.

I'm against it.

I'm adamantly against it.

To: Sawaki Tsukasa From: Sawaki Nozomi

Sis, how are you?

Today we talked about our future plans.

I'm thinking of moving to Tokyo next year...

...just like you.

I hate the thought of staying

in this small town forever.

I want to live independently in Tokyo.

Isn't it wonderful to be independent?

Is it true that you feel uneasy

if you have too much freedom?

Take care of this.

I am really sorry.

You didn't get any sleep. Thanks.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You didn't get to come home?

Did it go well?

I did what had to be done.

What shall we do about today?

What do you mean?

You didn't get to sleep...

Don't worry, I'm tough.

Where shall we go?

I made lunch.

All right then...

This is my first time to the zoo

since moving to Tokyo.

I thought of other places, but

zoos relax me.

I used to live near a zoo in Osaka.

I went there often.

Which is your favorite animal?

Let's see... the elephant.

It's big and has small eyes.

It looks kind.

It resembles you.

What do you like?

I used to like cheetahs, but

now I like the elephant, too.

Copycat!

No, I'm not.

That's what I like now.

What?

He's mischievous and smart.

Is he?

A gorilla at the Osaka zoo

used to throw its own stool at people.

I tried to give it a banana,

and he threw one that hit me here.

Your forehead?

That doesn't happen to many people.

You were a stool pigeon.

A pun?

Ha! Ha!

I thought you'd like it.

Osaka people laugh only at witty puns.

Meany.

How cute...

The chimpanzee is really cute.

Tsuka...

Tsuka...

Tsuka...

Here you go.

What a feast.

I made everything.

See? You can cook if you try.

Is it good? Well?

Delicious.

I'm glad!

Then, I'll eat too.

It's good.

Mr. Shima's a nice person.

He gave my company a second chance.

He's really a good person.

Do you come often...

...to the zoo with Haruna?

Let's not talk about my family.

Today's our day.

I brought towels.

The octopus is good, too.

This is octopus?

I pickled this.

Eh? Really?

No.

We didn't have to come to

such an expensive restaurant.

It's our first date...

...so it's all right.

What?

You're quite a romantic.

Adorable...

Are yaw teasin me?

Teasin'? Naw.

Stop that.

Aw, really?

Cut it out!

I sure am sorry.

You...!

I never thought I'd date

someone outside of Osaka.

I thought Tokyo women spoke harshly...

But it doesn't matter...

when you're in love.

Your food's getting cold.

Sorry...

It's all right...

I have a favor to ask of you.

Yes?

Will you go to the public bathhouse with me?

Bathhouse?

The tub is huge.

I've never been to one.

Perfect.

Why is it perfect?

I'm going to wash my hair, so I may take awhile.

I'll wait.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

What were you doing in there?

Soaking in the tub...

I'm cold.

That's all right.

I'm warm.

Thank you.

I liked a girl in junior high.

It was one-sided...

It was my dream to go to the bathhouse...

...with her.

Walking with her, carrying our toiletries.

A song about walking to the bathhouse was popular then.

What a nice evening. The moon is out...

Want a beer?

Come in.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Let's toast.

Cheers!

I had fun today.

So did I.

Thank you.

What shall we do the next time?

I need a lamp, so...

This is our first and last date.

I have a wife and a child.

We shouldn't date.

That's why this is our first and last date.

Last?

I love you...

It's been a long time since I felt like this.

I thought I'd never feel like this again.

I'm over it now since we had our date.

Did you ask me out to get over me?

What about how I feel...

...about you?

This is unfair.

My wife and child are moving here.

Then why did you say you loved me? Why?

Answer me. Why?

I'm sorry.

No!

This car is going up.

Are you on your break?

So I am.

I brought back something for you.

You didn't have to...

It's not much.

When did you get back?

Are you Ms. Mizuki?

Yes.

Are you all right?

Why did you do that?

My family is ruined because of you.

My husband was transferred because of you.

We may get a divorce.

I'm very sorry.

Aren't you happy?

You stealing little...

This is not the place!

I'll never forget you.

Why didn't you tell her that

her husband is the horrible one?

I feel bad for her.

I'm sure she has suffered.

Please accept this.

You're the one who suffered.

I found out one thing when I went back home.

I wasn't in love with him anymore.

My heart didn't skip a beat

when I thought about him.

I didn't feel like seeing him.

All I could feel was resentment.

I could see

how I cried and clung on to him.

The thought nauseated me.

I've had enough.

What about your child?

I'll have an abortion.

I wonder if I really wanted to have it.

I may've just wanted to keep him by me.

Are you shocked at how selfish I am?

No...

But...

I...

Emotions overrule women

when they're in love.

They lose sight of what's best for them.

But...

Is what's best the most important?

You're serious about Mr. Yoshimoto...

I've never felt like this before.

Thank you. I'll split it with Naoko.

Hello.

We weren't supposed to meet today.

I came to thank you again.

Forget it.

Thank you very much.

Would you like to have coffee?

Yesterday I went on a date with Tsukasa.

I see.

But it'll never happen again.

I know I'm not right for her.

I realized that when you hit me.

You're serious about her.

Does this mean you'll never see her again?

I can only make her sad.

Didn't you think about divorcing your wife?

You thought about it...

I have a child

and I care about my wife.

Thank you for the coffee.

Did you tell Tsukasa that you won't see her again?

Yes.

What did she say?

So you're going to run away.

She won't accept that.

I'm not seeing her again.

Excuse me.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Here again?

So?

He passed.

Really?

I made it into Jonan University.

Good. Congratulations.

We have to celebrate. Does Tsukasa know?

I called but she's not home.

Beer... my treat.

Thanks.

I...

Yes?

I wanted to tell Tsukasa how I felt...

once I got into a university.

She's in love with someone.

I know... that Shima guy.

No.

No?

Someone closer to her.

Not... Mr. Yoshimoto.

He's the one.

I saw Mr. Yoshimoto today.

Shall we go for a drive?

We can drive down to Yokohama

and get a bite to eat there.

Leave me alone.

You should forget him.

The two of you will only suffer...

I know that.

Before I knew it I was in love.

Now I can't forget him.

Because I fell in love with him.

I want to be honest about how I feel

even if I'm hurt.

It makes me angry

to be drawn to you even more than before.

What are you doing?

I'm moving.

Tomorrow.

Where are you moving to?

There's no need to tell you.

You didn't tell me!

It's best we never see each other again.

Is this how we're going to part?

Leave. I have to pack by tonight.

Leave!

Open up!

Open up!

Open up Mr. Yoshimoto!

Open up Mr. Yoshimoto!

Open up... Mr. Yoshimoto!

Please open up!

Open up... Open up Mr. Yoshimoto!

Mr. Yoshimoto, open up!

Open up Mr. Yoshimoto!
