[Chattering]

10

00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,793

- Hey.

- Hey.

11

00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,676

- Good evening.

- Oh, hi, Shizuku.

12

00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,399

I'm back.

13

00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,674

Oh, hi, honey.

14

00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,797

You got a plastic bag

for just one carton of milk?

15

00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,592

What? They just give it to you.

16

00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,631

[Mom] You could say

you don't need it.

17

00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,994

Oh, pour me some of that too.

18

00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,150

Dad, I got ice tea.

Do you want some?

19

00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,474

Ah, sounds good.

20

00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,232

I'll have it at the table.

21

00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,957

- Thanks. Done with the computer?

- I'm printing out now.

22

00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,395

Maybe we should buy another laptop.

23

00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,432

[Groaning] Smells like

cigarettes in here.

24

00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,318

Shizuku, you should have

gone to Kashiwazaki too.

25

00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,868

No, I didn't want to.

Shiho wears me out.

26

00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,791

Oh, by the way,

I have to work tomorrow.

27

00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,878

- Do you want me to fix you a lunch?

- That's OK. I'll eat out.

28

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,879

The library's computerizing everything.

Everybody's going crazy at work.

29

00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,635

I don't think they should, Dad.

Card catalogs are much better.

30

00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,113

Yeah. I like 'em better too.

31

00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,073

[Mom] I think you've got

a problem with your report.

32

00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,839

- What's the problem?

- Isn't there a line missing here?

33

00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,194

[Dad] You're right. Darn.

34

00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,350

I'll have to print

the entire thing over.

35

00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,438

[Mom] Can't I use the printer first?

My professor will kill me

36

00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,636

if I don't have his paper

turned in tomorrow.

37

00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,796

[Shizuku] Seiji Amasawa.

38

00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,797

Here he is again.

39

00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,837

Shizuku, time to put

the books away and go to bed.

40

00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,478

OK, Dad. Good night.

41

00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,197

Yep. I knew I had

seen that name before.

42

00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,838

[Gasping] Here it is again.

43

00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,709

And again.

44

00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,070

Seiji Amasawa.

45

00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,639

Seiji Amasawa.

46

00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280

Seiji Amasawa. That's amazing.

47

00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,669

This guy checked out

all these books before I did.

48

00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,511

Seiji Amasawa, huh?

49

00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,192

What kind of person are you?

50

00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,117

I wonder if we're anything alike.

51

00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,274

[People chattering]

52

00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,269

[Mom] Shizuku!

53

00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,674

For heaven sakes, get up!

54

00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,672

- I'm leaving.

- [Groaning]

55

00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,950

Hey, did you sleep

in your clothes again?

56

00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,798

You're so scatterbrained.

57

00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,999

Have a good day.

58

00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,720

Aah! Is it that late?

I'm supposed to meet Yuko.

59

00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640

- [Door opening]

- Ugh! My wallet!

60

00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,400

Did you get all the way

down the stairs again, Mom?

61

00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,629

Yes!

62

00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,796

Where is it?

63

00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,434

Is it by the telephone?

64

00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,915

- [Mom] Found it!

- You always leave it there.

65

00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,632

[Groaning] I'm gonna be late!

66

00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,354

- Don't forget to lock up!

- Who's scatterbrained?

67

00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:06,795

[Gasping]

68

00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,788

Wow! I've never seen a blimp so close.

69

00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,032

Today's gonna be great.

70

00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,028

[People chattering]

71

00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,989

[Sighing] Hot day.

72

00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,914

- [Barking]

- Hi, yappy.

73

00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,956

Can't you bark any louder than that?

74

00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,598

Shizuku! Shizuku! Hey, there.

75

00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,837

Hey, Michiko. Good luck

on your match today.

76

00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,791

Hi, Miss Kosaka. Can I come in?

77

00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,190

Oh, hi, Shizuku.

What are you doing here?

78

00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,072

I need you to do me a favor.

79

00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,475

What? It's not something weird, is it?

80

00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,353

- Can you open the library, please?

- The library?

81

00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,119

Can't you wait until school starts?

82

00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,519

No. That's the point.

83

00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,518

I decided I was gonna read

20 books over summer vacation,

84

00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,108

and the city library

doesn't have the book I want.

85

00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,309

It'll just be a second.

86

00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,398

Twenty books? What about

your high school entrance exams?

87

00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,829

Can't you even pretend

to be studying for them?

88

00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,995

Uh, here it is.

89

00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,753

Hurry up and bring it here.

90

00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,475

Come on, give me your library card

and the checkout card from the book.

91

00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,158

Here you go.

92

00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,594

Hey, look at this.

93

00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,148

No one's ever checked

this book out before.

94

00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,878

No one? What do you know.

95

00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,916

I finally beat Seiji Amasawa.

96

00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,830

[Gasps]

97

00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,513

Donated by... Amasawa?

98

00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,519

No way! Do you have any idea

who this Amasawa person is?

99

00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,114

Oh, now look,

you made me make a mistake.

100

00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,435

Well, that guy's

probably the book's donor.

101

00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,471

I don't know anyone from that long ago.

102

00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,989

- Ask one of the older teachers.

- [Girl] Shizuku!

103

00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,799

[Groaning] I should have known

you were going to do this.

104

00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,388

You said to meet

outside the school, not inside.

105

00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,029

I waited in the sun for 15 minutes. Do

you know how many freckles I have now?

106

00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,276

- I'm sorry.

- Calm down, Yuko.

107

00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,470

You take your freckles

way too seriously.

108

00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,000

No, I don't!

It's a major problem for me.

109

00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,560

Aren't either of you

concerned about your exams?

110

00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,557

Now get out and go study.

111

00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,878

I got it!

112

00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,274

Here! [grunting] This way.

113

00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,518

[Boy] Kick it harder than that.

114

00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,239

I wrote some lyrics

for our graduation ceremony,

115

00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,237

but I'm pretty sure that they stink.

116

00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,231

� Looking over sprawling city

117

00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,839

� How I do yearn for

118

00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,155

� Hills and clouds so pretty

119

00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,711

� Peaceful bedroom

120

00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,756

� Window with a view

121

00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,110

[both] � Old dog that waits there

122

00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,912

� Where my dreams come true

123

00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,877

� Country roads

124

00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,195

� I think I'll go

125

00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,154

� Down this path on my own

126

00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,595

� West Virginia

127

00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,597

� Mountain mama

128

00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,154

� Please take me home

129

00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,117

� Down country roads �

130

00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,959

- Hey, it's not bad.

- Yes, it is.

131

00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,519

It's boring.

132

00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,790

- [Boy] Keep up! Come on!

- I don't think so.

133

00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,272

So I wrote another one.

134

00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,032

� Concrete roads

135

00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,350

- � Everywhere I go

- [chuckling]

136

00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,829

� Covering

137

00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,070

� West Tokyo

138

00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760

� Chopped down forests

139

00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,030

� Buried our valleys

140

00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,116

[both] � My hometown's

141

00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,431

- � Down concrete road �

- [laughing]

142

00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,909

Let's sing that! [laughing]

143

00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,873

Hey, so, why did you want to talk?

144

00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,797

Is there something bothering you?

145

00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,912

Mmm. Do you think about boys?

146

00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,393

No.

147

00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,438

We're all studying for exams

and we could help each other.

148

00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:30,870

It would be nice to be with someone

who felt the same way about you.

149

00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,117

Yuko, you have a crush on someone.

150

00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,468

[Whispering]

151

00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,353

- You got a love letter?!

- Ahh! Shh! Not so loud.

152

00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,600

So, what's he like? Is he good-looking?

153

00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,953

He's from another class.

154

00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,952

- Uh, he's sort of good-looking.

- Why not try dating him?

155

00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,798

If you don't like him you can stop.

156

00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,114

Yeah, but...

157

00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,955

You've got a crush

on someone else, don't you?

158

00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,720

[Sighing]

159

00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,235

Don't even try to hide it.

You know I'll get it out of you.

160

00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,432

It's, uh, Su... Su...

161

00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,114

[boy] Shizuku!

162

00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,872

Can you throw me my bag?

163

00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,393

- [Gasping]

- Sugimura.

164

00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,597

[Sugimura] It's that blue one,

on the bench over there.

165

00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:11,079

Come on! Hurry it up!

166

00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,714

I got to get back to the game.

167

00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,310

Calm down, bench warmer.

You never play anyway.

168

00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,158

Hey, I play all the time,

169

00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,113

and our team's going to the playoffs,

I'll have you know.

170

00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,150

Yuko?

171

00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,998

Are you OK?

172

00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,829

[Shizuku] So I guess

Sugimura is the guy you like.

173

00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,997

[Sighing] How embarrassing.

I ran off like a little girl.

174

00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,675

- He must know now.

- No way, Yuko. He's way too dense.

175

00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,638

But what about the guy

who wrote you the love letter?

176

00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,194

- I think you should go for him.

- [Car passing]

177

00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,756

Hmm, I don't know.

I want to think it over.

178

00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,108

All right.

179

00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,078

[Yuko] You're lucky, Shizuku.

180

00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,714

Your parents don't bug you

to study all the time.

181

00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,270

- [Shizuku] Sometimes I wish they did.

- [Yuko] Hmm, yeah.

182

00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,118

- Oh, no!

- What's the matter?

183

00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,196

I lost my book. I must have dropped it.

184

00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,793

- You want to ride my bike?

- No!

185

00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,911

[Yuko] You'll be late for cram school.

186

00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,833

- Call me later, OK?

- [Shizuku] I will!

187

00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,629

[Gasping]

188

00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,318

[Sighing]

189

00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,356

[Gasping] You've got my book.

190

00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,273

Oh. This is yours, is it?

191

00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,354

Here you go, Shizuku Tsukishima.

192

00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,357

What? How do you know my name?

193

00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,638

Gee, take a wild guess.

194

00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,990

Oh, the checkout card.

195

00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,553

By the way, great lyrics.

196

00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,319

They're even cornier

than the original version.

197

00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,551

[Gasping] You read this?!

198

00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,230

Stupid jerk, stupid jerk, stupid jerk.

199

00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,671

Stupid jerk, stupid jerk, stupid jerk!

200

00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,278

Stupid jerk!

201

00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,559

"It's even cornier

than the original version."

202

00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,353

Stupid jerk!

203

00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,313

[Girls giggling, arguing]

204

00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,679

[Sniffling]

205

00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,318

Hey, I'm home!

206

00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,040

- [Sighing]

- Oh, hey, sis. You're back early.

207

00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,270

Ahh, I'm beat.

208

00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,353

I grabbed a ride with someone

who's going back to Tokyo.

209

00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,271

- [Bag hits mattress]

- Where's Mom?

210

00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,830

She's at an intensive summer course.

Dad's still at work.

211

00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,951

You need to clean up this room, Shizuku,

212

00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,190

and you should have

started dinner by now.

213

00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,113

- I was just getting to it.

- Ugh! This kitchen is a disaster!

214

00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,231

Have you cleaned anything since I left?

215

00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,918

Relax, I'll do it now.

216

00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,589

[Water running]

217

00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,036

You need to stay on top of this

while Mom's got classes, Shizuku.

218

00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,869

After you wash the rice

finish up the laundry.

219

00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,349

I'll help you make dinner

after I take a shower.

220

00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,956

Auntie said you should come visit her

after you finish your exams.

221

00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,956

[Shizuku] Hmm.

222

00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,917

- Are you studying?

- Uh-huh.

223

00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,434

You're gonna have

big problems if you slack off

224

00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,875

just because Dad and Mom

don't bug you about it.

225

00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,632

I'm studying, OK?

226

00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,039

[Laughing]

227

00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,317

You know, she tried to get me

to bring home some of her soy sauce.

228

00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,635

- That's your aunt, all right.

- [Laughing]

229

00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,995

[Mom] Didn't the same thing

happen last year?

230

00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,953

[Shiho] She made me take home

some miso. Really heavy.

231

00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,389

[Dad] Too bad Shizuku

couldn't go with you.

232

00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,512

[Grunting]

233

00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,314

[Turning off vacuum]

234

00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,795

Shizuku, come on, get up.

235

00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,592

Vacuum your side of the room.

236

00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,280

Then strip the bed,

'cause I'm washing the sheets.

237

00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,277

[Shiho] I'm doing the futons too.

238

00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,069

- [Moaning] Hey, where's Mom?

- [Shiho] She left hours ago.

239

00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,318

Clear the table when you're done then

take Dad's lunch to him at the library.

240

00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,032

- Hey!

- What do you mean "hey"?

241

00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,156

You're going to the library already.

242

00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,033

[Shiho] Or do you want me to go instead?

243

00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,357

Then you can clean the toilet,

the bathroom and the entryway.

244

00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,034

Then you can go to the grocery store,

fold the laundry,

245

00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,038

make the beds and cook dinner.

How does that sound?

246

00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,708

See you later! Phew!

247

00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,318

[Shiho] Shizuku!

248

00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,990

Put this in the mailbox for me.

249

00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,399

What is it?

250

00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,670

Uh, it's mail, stupid.

251

00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,916

[Grunting]

252

00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,791

[Shiho] You don't need to read it.

253

00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,195

Can't you just put it in the mailbox?

254

00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,869

- It's a love letter, isn't it?

- Shut up!

255

00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,951

[People chattering]

256

00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,870

[Boy 1] I don't know

how I'm gonna pass this.

257

00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,752

[Boy 2] You gotta read some books.

258

00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,871

[Train brakes hissing]

259

00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,838

[Conductor whistle blowing]

260

00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,349

[Man over PA]

Next stop Suginomiya Station.

261

00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,072

Suginomiya Station.

262

00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,110

Hey there, cat. You all alone?

263

00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,874

So, where are you headed?

264

00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,991

See something interesting?

265

00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,030

Oh, the silent treatment.

266

00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,156

This is my stop. How about you?

267

00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,111

So long, snotty.

268

00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,150

270

00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,108

Hey!

271

00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,276

He's headed towards the library.

272

00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,030

[Engines revving]

273

00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,711

[Woman] I'll call you later, all right?

274

00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,913

[Sighing] I finally thought I was gonna

get a little adventure around here.

275

00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:07,394

Hey!

276

00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,193

[Sighing]

280

00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,191

What a steep climb.

281

00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,038

How far does this thing go?

282

00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,239

[Sighing]

283

00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,469

Here, kitty.

284

00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,477

Here, kitty.

285

00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,949

He must live around here somewhere.

[Dog barking]

Where are you going, you crazy cat?

290

00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,153

Do you live around here?

00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,472

What a gorgeous neighborhood.

293

00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,994

I never knew there was a place

like this up here.

No way.

299

00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,789

He came all this way

just to tease that dog?

300

00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:05,670

Hmm. I wonder if that cat

isn't messing with me too.

301

00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,318

An antique shop?

302

00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,431

He's going shopping now?

303

00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,433

Incredible. I had no idea there

were stores like this around here.

304

00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,393

What a fantastic statue.

305

00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,478

You're not the cat

I was following, are you?

306

00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,713

- Oh, hello there.

- I'm sorry.

309

00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,470

No, please, it's good to have visitors.

310

00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,192

Look around as much as you like.

311

00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,072

The Baron is bored too.

312

00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,478

The Baron? Is that the name

of the statue over here?

313

00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,670

Yeah. Baron Humbert von Joekkingen.

314

Don't worry, though.

I do this all the time.

318

00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,468

Great clock.

319

00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,718

It was found in an abandoned castle

all covered with rust.

320

00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,915

Look at this.

321

00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,477

[Gasping] Beautiful.

322

00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,391

So, what does it do?

[Chuckling]

324

00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,110

It might not do anything.

- I just finished restoring this.

- [Cranking]

326

You like fairy tales.

334

00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,359

This clock has a terribly romantic

fairy tale that goes with it.

335

00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,830

Watch what happens on the clock face...

336

00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,235

00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,992

Stand up here on the ladder,

then you can see better.

341

00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,348

OK.

Oh, it's a fairy.

344

00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,519

[Man] She is now, but soon

she'll turn back into a sheep.

345

00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,716

The two of them are in love,

aren't they?

346

00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,274

Mm-hmm. But they are always apart.

347

00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,675

He's king of the dwarves

and lives underground

348

00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,439

while she's cursed to live as a sheep.

349

00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,154

Only while the clock strikes 12:00

is she a fairy.

350

00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,390

So the king appears at that moment

351

00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,512

just to catch a glimpse

of the girl he fell in love with.

352

00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,831

What do you bet that the artisan

who made this clock

353

00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,236

was separated from the love of his life?

354

00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:36,194

[Shizuku] That must be why

their sadness feels so real.

355

00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,754

- [Ticking]

- [Gasping]

356

00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,075

That clock isn't on time, is it?

357

00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,270

No. It's about five minutes too slow.

358

00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,470

- Oh, no!

- Whoa!

359

00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,433

I've got to get to the library!

360

00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,755

I'm sorry, do you mind

if I come again later?

361

00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,116

Sure. But it's better to go left

to get to the library.

362

00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,428

[Shizuku squealing]

363

00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,033

Oh, good! I'm right above the library.

364

00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,037

[Panting]

365

00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,599

What a great place that was.

366

00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,915

It was like straight

out of a fairy tale.

367

00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,635

- That was amazing!

- [Beeping]

368

00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:23,951

[Boy] Shizuku Tsukishima!

369

00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,788

[Brakes squealing]

370

00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,319

Hey, this is yours, isn't it?

371

00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,670

Huh? Aah!

372

00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,199

Uh...

373

00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,391

You're kind of forgetful, aren't you?

374

00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,590

Uh, thanks, but how did you get this?

375

00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,432

Take a wild guess.

376

00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,956

That man, do you know him?

377

00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,274

Is he your grandpa?

378

00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,834

You must eat like a pig.

That lunch is enormous.

379

00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,188

Huh?

380

00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,992

[Gasping] Hey you!

381

00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,510

� Concrete roads

Everywhere I go �

382

00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,950

It's my dad's, you jerk!

383

00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,030

Hey, thanks. You brought my lunch.

384

00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,073

What's wrong? Why the sour face?

385

00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,993

- It's hard to explain.

- And?

386

00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,629

I was having an extraordinary day,

like I was living in a fairy tale,

387

00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,076

then some jerk talked to me

for two seconds and ruined everything.

388

00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,230

[Chuckling] Sounds complicated.

389

00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,710

Are you going to check out

some books today?

390

00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,552

Yeah. I just have seven more to go.

391

00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,831

You never stop reading. You want

to take some time out for lunch?

392

00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,599

- I'll eat later.

- OK, then. See you later.

393

00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,234

[Man coughing]

394

00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,636

[Shizuku] Seiji Amasawa.

395

00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,072

Wow. Is there any book here

this guy hasn't checked out?

396

00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,714

I wonder what kind of person he is.

397

00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,154

- No way! Not that jerk!

- [Murmuring]

398

00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,788

- [Murmuring]

- [Woman] Shh!

399

00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,510

[Leaves rustling]

400

00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,596

- Aah!

- [Wind gusting]

401

00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,639

[Thunder rumbling]

402

00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,395

[Mom] Shizuku, hurry up!

403

00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,790

Oh! We're going to be late!

404

00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,359

Hurry, get the umbrellas.

405

00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,954

The first day of the semester

and it has to rain.

406

00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,474

- [Girls laughing]

- [Shizuku] Stop complaining.

407

00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,630

You're going to school

because you want to.

408

00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,398

- Yes, ma'am.

- Study hard.

409

00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,192

You can count on me.

410

00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,998

- Shizuku!

- Hey, Yuko!

411

00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,509

Hurry up! I don't want to be late

for our first day.

412

00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,234

I can't believe how many tests

we have to take.

413

00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,555

It's one thing or another every day.

414

00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,514

- So, did you answer the letter?

- Mm-mmm.

415

00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,198

Have you made up your mind yet?

416

00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,629

Yeah. I decided I don't want

to go out with him.

417

00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,190

OK. Yeah, maybe that's best.

418

00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,754

- Sugimura!

- [Gasping]

419

00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,472

You're gonna be late!

420

00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,670

Calm down, we know!

421

00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,636

- OK, everybody, pencils down.

- [Students groaning]

422

00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,075

[Bell chiming]

423

00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,753

- Regular classes this afternoon.

- Hey, Jun, Daizo.

424

00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,796

Let's eat fast so we can get outside.

425

00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,434

Let's eat lunch

in Miss Kosaka's office, OK?

426

00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,630

Can we stop

by the teachers' lounge first?

427

00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,830

- I guess so.

- Hey, Shizuku, check it out!

428

00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,554

- What?

- I totally aced that test.

429

00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,868

Well, good for you.

430

00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,111

Everything I studied was on the test

and I barely studied.

431

00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,475

So you're not just

a bench warmer after all.

432

00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,676

Yuko's good at guessing what's on tests.

433

00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,758

- You should study with her sometime.

- Study with her?

434

00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,836

- Sugimura, Sugimura!

- What's up?

435

00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,718

- [Boy] Did you see this?

- Let's go, Shizuku.

436

00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,596

I can't believe you said that, Shizuku.

437

00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,749

What's the problem?

438

00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,314

I've never been good

at guessing what's on tests.

439

00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:55,997

[Chuckling] Sorry.

440

00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,639

Excuse us.

441

00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,197

You want to know who donated a book?

442

00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,714

I don't think I'd remember

something like that.

443

00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,075

I hate to interrupt you

while you're eating.

444

00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,515

- Look at this stamp here.

- Hmm? Well...

445

00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,874

Let's see.

446

00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,518

Oh, Dr. Amasawa, sure. I've read

this book too. It's quite a good one.

447

00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,079

Yes, it's great.

448

00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,272

So, is there anything that you can

tell me about Dr. Amasawa?

449

00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,759

Let me see if I can remember.

450

00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,950

I think he was chairman of the PTA.

451

00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,189

The PTA, huh?

452

00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,153

Would you happen to remember

Dr. Amasawa's first name?

453

00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,759

First name? Let's see.

454

00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,515

Mr. Kimura, do you happen to

remember Dr. Amasawa's first name?

455

00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,160

Dr. Amasawa. I'm pretty sure

it's Koichi. Koichi Amasawa.

456

00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,991

Koichi Amasawa.

457

00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,117

Shizuku, Dr. Amasawa's son

goes to school here.

458

00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,192

There's a chance you could

have met him. He's in your grade.

459

00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,633

Huh? Uh... I...

460

00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,751

I gotta go. Thank you very much!

461

00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,159

Uh, excuse us.

462

00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,438

Oh! Excuse me.

463

00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,993

[Sighing]

464

00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,117

[Yuko] Shizuku! What's wrong with you?

465

00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,073

[Panting] It can't be him.

466

00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,395

What in the world are you talking about?

467

00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,432

You are acting like a total weirdo.

468

00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,875

I'm sorry. [sighing]

469

00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,276

Shizuku, now what are you doing?

470

00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,073

What a complete jerk!

Do you know what that guy's name is?

471

00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,509

No. He's not in our class.

What's the big deal?

472

00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,108

That jerk better not

be Dr. Amasawa's son.

473

00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,434

[Laughing]

474

00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,273

[Girl] Shizuku chasing down boys?

I don't believe it.

475

00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,994

[Yuko] I had to run after her

carrying her lunchbox.

476

00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,949

So Shizuku has a crush on someone, eh?

477

00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,759

Miss Kosaka, can you believe

she's finally interested

478

00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,592

in something other than a book?

479

00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,036

- I'm not interested. He's a jerk!

- What if he checked out those books?

480

00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,958

- He's your perfect match.

- Like a fairy tale.

481

00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,752

If it's him, it's a horror story.

482

00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,839

So, tell us, what's the name of this guy

who checked out all the books, Yuko?

483

00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,195

- Yuko.

- I can't remember exactly.

484

00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,397

There was a "ma" in it,

or maybe it was a "wa."

485

00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,994

Ama... Just say it, Shizuku!

486

00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,953

- No way.

- Shizuku is such a great storyteller,

487

00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,634

but now that the story is about her,

she won't say a word.

488

00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,638

You can't hide the fact

you're in love, Shizuku.

489

00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,477

The look on your face shows

your heart suffers with every beat.

490

00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,518

[Mouth full] How romantic.

You are in love.

491

00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,714

Go ahead, make fun of me if you want to.

492

00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,758

Too bad. I was gonna show you

my lyrics for Country Roads.

493

00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,115

- You're finished?

- Let me see! Let me see!

494

00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,393

Great Shizuku, master of writing,

we shall make fun of you no more.

495

00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,239

- Please grace us with your words.

- That's better.

496

00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,996

I don't know if it's any good, though.

497

00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,593

And it might not be

appropriate for graduation.

498

00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,148

I just tried to write something

from the heart.

499

00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,430

This is so good, Shizuku.

500

00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,835

� Country roads

501

00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,428

[girls] � I think I'll go

502

00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,429

� Down this path on my own

503

00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,795

� My inspiration

504

00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,480

� The road less taken

505

00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,795

� But this is my

506

00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,990

� Country road �

507

00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,634

It's great, Shizuku. I love it!

508

00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,557

The lyrics aren't too corny?

509

00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,079

No. They're wonderful.

510

00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,116

You really have a gift for writing.

511

00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:35,834

Reading all those books

actually did her some good.

512

00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,354

- You sure they're OK?

- They're from the heart.

513

00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,317

Yeah. I really like this part:

514

00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,590

"I dreamed of living alone but fearless.

515

00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:45,359

- [Bell chiming]

- Secret longing to be courageous.

516

00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,480

Loneliness kept bottled up inside..."

517

00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,994

- Ladies, that's the bell.

- [Girls] Yes, ma'am.

518

00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,595

Ahh! I love being a writer!

519

00:35:58,720 --> 00:35:59,994

[Yuko] Shizuku!

520

00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,270

Do you want to come with us

to the glee club?

521

00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,789

- We're gonna show them your lyrics.

- No, thanks.

522

00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,269

I want to check out some books

from the library.

523

00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,271

We've got a test tomorrow, you know.

524

00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,999

- I'll study when I get home.

- [Yuko] Yeah, right.

525

00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,156

- See you later.

- See ya!

526

00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,910

[Girls chattering in hallway]

527

00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:49,514

Hey, Yuko.

528

00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,829

Uh, sorry to bother you

but, uh, can we talk?

529

00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,033

Mm-hmm.

530

00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,150

I was afraid it would be closed.

531

00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,475

I hope that old man's doing all right.

532

00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:23,553

[Groaning] The Baron's gone.

533

00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,198

Someone must have bought him.

534

00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,240

"Mr. Nishi's Antique Shop."

535

00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,514

Oh, thank goodness.

536

00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,154

That jerk's name isn't Amasawa.

It's Nishi.

537

00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,475

- [Bicycle brakes squealing]

- [Gasping]

538

00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:46,039

[Sighing]

539

00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,998

- [music playing]

- [Shiho] Shizuku!

540

00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,509

Shizuku, Yuko's on the phone.

541

00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,510

Hey!

542

00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,918

Phone call. Can't you hear anything?

543

00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,273

I keep telling you

you're gonna ruin your hearing.

544

00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,510

Hello? What?

545

00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,710

I can't really hear you.

546

00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,792

Mm-hmm. Don't worry about it, Yuko.

547

00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,831

Mm-hmm. I'll be right there.

548

00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,428

- Where are you going?

- Just down the street.

549

00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,790

[Door rattling]

550

00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,348

- Yuko, what happened?

- [Sobbing] Shizuku.

551

00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,392

What is it? Why... Why are you crying?

552

00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,710

I talked to Sugimura,

553

00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,559

and he's friends with the guy

who wrote me that letter,

554

00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,468

so he tried to convince me to go out

with his friend. [crying]

555

00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,353

What? [groaning]

556

00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,189

Go out with your friend?

How could you say that to me?!

557

00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,669

- [Crying]

- What?

558

00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,034

That jerk.

I can't believe he's that stupid.

559

00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,156

But I don't think he did it to hurt you.

560

00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,238

He's just a dope.

He has no idea that you like him.

561

00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,549

[Sighing] I better

apologize to him, I guess.

562

00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,080

But there's no way I can go to school

with my face looking like this.

563

00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,071

I'm going to have to stay home tomorrow.

564

00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,156

- We've got tests, you know.

- Mm-hmm.

565

00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,639

OK.

566

00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,788

[Whispering] Idiot.

567

00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,598

What did I do?

568

00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,713

That was pretty easy, huh?

569

00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,037

- Headed to the library again?

- No. I'm gonna go check on Yuko.

570

00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,957

Oh, tell her I hope she feels better.

571

00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,354

- I will. See ya.

- Bye-bye.

572

00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,750

[Sugimura] Shizuku!

573

00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,518

Wait up!

574

00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,113

Whoa!

575

00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,915

I need to talk to you about Yuko.

576

00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,440

And then all of a sudden

she starts crying her head off.

577

00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,795

So, what did I say

that was so terrible, huh?

578

00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,399

Just think about it.

579

00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,829

Remember when Yuko said,

"Date your friend?

580

00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,916

- How could you say that to me?"

- Mm-hmm.

581

00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,952

All I said was he's a good guy.

She should give him a chance.

582

00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,274

Get a clue!

583

00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,557

What Yuko was saying was that she

didn't want to hear that from you.

584

00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,040

- You know what that means, don't you?

- I don't speak girl code!

585

00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,758

Why don't you spell it out for me?

586

00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,110

[Grunting] I can't believe

you're this dense!

587

00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:40,196

What it means is Yuko

has a crush on you.

588

00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,034

What? Are you sure?

I didn't pick up on that.

589

00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,112

Are you blind? She stayed home

from school, you know.

590

00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:49,276

She even missed a test

on account of you.

591

00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,109

But, it's that...

You're the one I'm in love with!

592

00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:55,037

[Gasping] What?

593

00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,355

Come on, quit joking around, will you?

594

00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,035

I'm not joking. I've been in love with

you for years. Haven't you noticed?

595

00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,960

But you can't fall for me.

That just doesn't happen.

596

00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,077

Don't you like me at all?

Or is there someone else you love?

597

00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,158

I'm not in love with anybody,

598

00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,158

but Yuko, she'll... I gotta go!

599

00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:16,196

Wait a minute! Forget Yuko!

600

00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,355

Do you like me?

601

00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,914

Of course I like you.

We've been friends for years.

602

00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,993

But Yuko and I are best friends,

so that's the way it's gonna stay, OK?

603

00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,797

You understand? Or do I have

to spell it out some more?

604

00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,430

No. I understand.

605

00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,233

We'll just be friends.

606

00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,911

[Sugimura] I'm sorry.

I'll never mention it again.

607

00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,349

[Bird singing]

608

00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,679

[Barking]

609

00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,153

[Bag hits floor]

610

00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,474

[Sighing]

611

00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,668

[Crying] You idiot!

612

00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,234

You're the one who's dense.

613

00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,276

[Door opening]

614

00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,233

[Woman] Oh, Mrs. Tsukishima,

I've got a package for you.

615

00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,713

The mailman left it with me.

616

00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,070

[Mom] Oh, thanks. Sorry to trouble you.

617

00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,070

[Door closing]

618

00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,072

[Woman] Thanks so much for these.

619

00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,760

No problem. There's way

too much for us to eat.

620

00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,473

Oh, you're home.

621

00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,039

Shizuku.

622

00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,717

Hi, cat.

623

00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,550

Did you get locked out of your house?

624

00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,514

So, what happened?

Did everyone forget about you?

625

00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,358

Would you like some company?

626

00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,235

You're not very nice, are you, cat?

627

00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,509

Neither am I.

628

00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,154

I used to be nice and friendly

and a grade-A student.

629

00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,596

Now I just goof around reading books

and writing stupid lyrics.

630

00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:58,954

I don't know what's wrong.

631

00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,833

Even reading books isn't

as much fun as it used to be.

632

00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,070

Now when I read a little voice

inside me says,

633

00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,839

"Things never turn out

like they do in fairy tales."

634

00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,239

I miss the old me.

635

00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,630

[Panting]

636

00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,396

[Footsteps]

637

00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,317

Shizuku Tsukishima.

638

00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,634

Hi.

639

00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,115

I'm surprised Moon lets you pet him.

640

00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,316

You don't like anyone, do you, Moon?

641

00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,793

So Moon is his name?

642

00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,674

He looks like a full moon, doesn't he?

Especially from that angle.

643

00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,149

But I've heard him called

a few other names too.

644

00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:49,753

[Barking]

645

00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,950

What do you mean?

Doesn't he belong to you?

646

00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,871

Nope. He doesn't belong to anybody.

647

00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,555

He just wanders around our neighborhood

and lives in different houses.

648

00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,631

I've heard our neighbors call him Muta.

649

00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,638

Hmm. So he's a vagabond.

650

00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:07,599

That's right! I saw him riding around

on the train the other day.

651

00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,557

- The train?

- Yeah.

652

00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,318

He was taking a trip all by himself,

653

00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,436

he got off at my stop

and I followed him here.

654

00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,199

I was so excited

when he led me to this store.

655

00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,118

It was like something

straight out of a fairy tale.

656

00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,792

I guess I shouldn't have said

those bad things about him.

657

00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,433

I said he was mean like me.

658

00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,439

What? Moon's not like you.

He's not like you at all.

659

00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,717

I... I mean, the cat's

really kind of crazy.

660

00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,956

[Sighing]

661

00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:41,233

- So, I...

- Is your?

662

00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,599

Is your grandfather OK?

663

00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:47,553

His shop has been closed

for so long. I hope he's not sick.

664

00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,234

Yeah, he's fine.

He just likes to keep weird hours.

665

00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,715

His store is closed

more often than it's open.

666

00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,435

I peeked in the window and saw the Baron

is not sitting on the table anymore.

667

00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,239

- Did somebody buy him?

- You mean that cat statue?

668

00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,634

Wanna see him? Come on.

669

00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,077

[Door creaking]

670

00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,438

Can you close the door?

671

00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,638

[Gasping]

672

00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:28,993

This way.

673

00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:33,879

Wow. It's almost like we're in the sky.

674

00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,833

You're not afraid of heights,

are you, Shizuku?

675

00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,795

No. I love it up here. It's inspiring.

676

00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,635

From the balcony this time of day

is the prettiest. Come on.

677

00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,388

Here we are.

678

00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,557

- You can sit if you like.

- Hey, the clock is gone.

679

00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,878

Oh, the big grandfather clock.

We delivered it today.

680

00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,399

Here, have a look.

681

00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:29,839

So who bought the clock?

682

00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,428

No one. It was just here

for a repair job.

683

00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,120

I see. Too bad. It was beautiful.

684

00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:37,231

It took Grandpa three years to fix it.

685

00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,709

He finished it the day

you left your lunch here.

686

00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,028

Hey, about that lunch...

687

00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,720

I know it wasn't yours

and you don't eat like a pig.

688

00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,513

Come over here and have a look

into the Baron's eyes.

689

00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,157

Hurry up. The sun's starting to set.

690

00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,748

Wow.

691

00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,593

Pretty cool, huh?

It's actually an accident.

692

00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:07,632

Sometimes the eyes get flawed

when they're installed,

693

00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:10,712

- then they refract the light like that.

- That's amazing.

694

00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,037

Grandpa will never sell the Baron.

He wants to find its partner.

695

00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,872

There's another one?

696

00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,039

Yeah. He says that her name

is Louise, but that's about it.

697

00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,470

Look as long as you like.

I'm going downstairs.

698

00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,069

The light switch is over there

if you need it.

699

00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,318

So, Baron, let's hear about this Louise.

700

00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,630

Is she an old girlfriend

of yours or something?

701

00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,194

You look like you're

all dressed up for a wedding.

702

00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,397

Did she leave you at the altar?

Did someone kidnap her?

703

00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,268

There's a sad story there.

I'll have to figure it out for myself.

704

00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,389

[Scraping]

705

00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,718

Hey. Had enough?

706

00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,432

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

707

00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,597

So, is that a real violin you're making?

708

00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:04,676

Oh. Yeah.

709

00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,076

- Can I see?

- Sure.

710

00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,038

It's nearly finished.

711

00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,275

Wow!

712

00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,113

You carved the entire thing

yourself, by hand?

713

00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,192

- How else would you do it?

- That is amazing.

714

00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,596

They've been making violins

the exact same way for 300 years,

715

00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:25,551

but whether or not

they sound any good

716

00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,154

is totally dependent

on the craftsman's skill.

717

00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,196

Did you make all those violins?

718

00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,713

[Seiji] No, of course not.

719

00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,990

We hold violin-making classes here.

720

00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,270

But one of them's yours, isn't it?

721

00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,193

- Yeah.

- So which one is it?

722

00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,959

- The end.

- Wow.

723

00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:43,479

That's really fantastic.

724

00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,114

I can't believe you can

make something like this.

725

00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,633

It's like magic, isn't it?

726

00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:49,278

You're so weird.

727

00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,517

I can't believe some of the stuff

that comes out of your mouth.

728

00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,478

It is magic. You made a violin

pop out of a piece of wood.

729

00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,835

Anyone can make a violin

of that caliber.

730

00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:01,276

I'm not close to being good enough.

731

00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,550

So, can you play the violin?

732

00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,675

Sort of.

733

00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,439

Would you play something for me,

just a little bit?

734

00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:14,515

Give me a break.

735

00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,915

Come on, come on. Won't you, please?

736

00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,395

All right, but you're

gonna have to sing along.

737

00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:20,999

What?

738

00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,509

You don't want me to sing. I'm terrible.

739

00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,710

I've got just the song for you.

740

00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,073

857

00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,070

[Bell chiming]

858

00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,112

[Students talking, giggling]

859

01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,680

[Sighing] Just made it.

860

01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,870

Shizuku, what happened?

861

01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,439

Ah, you look like a wreck.

862

01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,120

Well, you seem fine.

You sure do recover fast.

863

01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,630

Is it true that you were out with a boy

from another class last night?

864

01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,915

- Where did you hear that?

- It's a rumor.

865

01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,793

They say it looked like

the two of you are going steady.

866

01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,713

- It's nothing like that, Yuko.

- I'm not worried about it.

867

01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,318

[Boy] It's what the book says.

868

01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,038

Yuko, about my friend's letter,

869

01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,953

I'll tell my friend you're not

interested. I'm sorry.

870

01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,036

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

871

01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:36,792

It's OK.

872

01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:45,153

Hey, did you see Sasuke last night?

I was blown away. It was the best ever!

873

01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,873

[Bell chiming]

874

01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,159

This formula's gonna be

on tomorrow's test, class,

875

01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,840

- so make sure you know it.

- [Groaning]

876

01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:58,399

[Teacher] Class dismissed.

877

01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,273

- [Laughing]

- You forgot your books.

878

01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,712

[Boy] I'm a little nervous

to ask her out. I mean, should I?

879

01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,592

[Girl] I didn't even get to see it.

880

01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,989

No way! [laughing]

881

01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,956

[Laughing]

882

01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,275

Excuse me, is this Shizuku's classroom?

883

01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,678

Hey, Amasawa, what's up?

884

01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,035

I'm looking for Shizuku. Is she in here?

885

01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,357

Shizuku? Yeah, she's here.

886

01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,950

Hey Shizuku, you got a visitor.

It's a guy!

887

01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,473

[Talking stops]

888

01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,992

- Seiji, she's right over there.

- [Chuckling]

889

01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,680

[Gasping] Hi, Seiji.

890

01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,109

Shizuku, can we talk for a minute?

891

01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,196

Uh, sure.

892

01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,629

[Boy] Check it out!

Shizuku's got a boyfriend!

893

01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,352

[Cheering]

894

01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,118

� Shizuku's got a boyfriend �

895

01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,112

No, I don't.

Hey, he's not my boyfriend!

896

01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,708

- [Laughing]

- [Girl] Aww, come on.

897

01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,392

Boyfri... [grunting]

898

01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,152

All right, what is it?

899

01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,919

I get to go to Cremona, Italy.

I just found out.

900

01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,195

What? Come on, let's go.

901

01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,272

[Laughing, cheering]

902

01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,115

- Where are we going?

- To the roof.

903

01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:19,793

[Groaning]

904

01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,076

Oh, excellent.

905

01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,716

Seiji, why did you broadcast to the

class that you wanted to talk to me?

906

01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,071

I'm sorry. I was excited and

I wanted you to be the first to know.

907

01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,790

But now people might get

the idea that you like me.

908

01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,638

Don't worry about it.

909

01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,513

Hey, so even though my parents

gave in there's a catch.

910

01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:43,755

Oh. What's the catch?

911

01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,279

Well, when I'm in Italy

912

01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,035

I have to try out with this friend of

my grandpa's who owns the workshop.

913

01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:50,434

Try out?

914

01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,279

Yeah, my parents said

I get two months to prove myself.

915

01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,198

If my grandpa's friend

doesn't think I have potential,

916

01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,153

then I have to come back here

and go to high school.

917

01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,152

I've heard this guy is really tough

on his apprentices,

918

01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,875

so it doesn't seem fair that my parents

are only giving me one shot.

919

01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,150

But it's a great opportunity,

so I'm going.

920

01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,431

- When? Do you leave soon?

- As soon as I get my passport.

921

01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,028

My dad said he was going

to notify the school today.

922

01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,190

Wow, that fast, huh?

923

01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,669

I'm happy for you.

Your dream's coming true.

924

01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,553

I hope so. I'm going

to give it everything I've got.

925

01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:26,399

- Would you?

- Oh...

926

01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,197

Hey, it stopped raining. Look.

927

01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,355

Yeah, you're right.

928

01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,110

Wow! Look at that view.

929

01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,797

Maybe we'll see a rainbow.

930

01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:41,909

Yeah.

931

01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,519

I wonder what

Cremona, Italy will be like.

932

01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,471

I hope it turns out to be a nice place.

933

01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,028

Mm-hmm. The city's really old,

934

01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,993

and everybody there

thinks violin making is respectable.

935

01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:03,394

That's great.

936

01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,278

It's so brave of you to go

after your dream like that.

937

01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,231

I just waste my time reading books,

938

01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,313

and all I've been dreaming about was

we would go to the same high school.

939

01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,949

[Chuckling] OK, that was embarrassing.

I shouldn't have said that.

940

01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,157

- Shh! Stay down.

- [Giggling]

941

01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,635

- Do you think they'll kiss?

- [Boy] Hurry up.

942

01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,919

You know, I noticed you a long time ago.

943

01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,195

I first spotted you

reading in the library.

944

01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,478

I walked past you hundreds of times,

but you never noticed me, right?

945

01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,478

I even sat down in the chair

right next to you a couple times.

946

01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,715

Yeah?

947

01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,155

Then I started checking out

all sorts of books

948

01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,595

just so I can get my name

on the cards before you.

949

01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,915

- Guess that got your attention.

- [Gasping]

950

01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,476

But now... I have to take off to Italy.

951

01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,433

That's some pretty lousy timing,

don't you think?

952

01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,437

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

953

01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,709

[Boy] Hey, quit pushin'! I can't see!

954

01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,559

- [Grunting]

- [Gasping]

955

01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,194

[Laughing]

956

01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,117

You jerks!

957

01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,593

[Boy] Get out of the way!

Shizuku is really mad!

958

01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:23,153

[Grunting]

959

01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,990

- [Sniffling]

- [Gasping]

960

01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:30,470

Hey!

961

01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,155

[Sighing]

962

01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,318

- Here, Dad.

- Thank you.

963

01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,432

- I'm going to Yuko's.

- Shizuku, is that all you're having?

964

01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,112

I'm not hungry.

965

01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,080

Pick up some milk

on your way home, OK?

966

01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,037

[Shizuku] I don't feel like it.

967

01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,993

- Hey, you're the one who drank it all.

- [Door closing]

968

01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,759

She's really been slacking off

these last few days.

969

01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,110

[Train bell ringing]

970

01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,158

[Man] Taxi!

971

01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,551

[Woman] Sorry, I can't go.

972

01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,638

- Thanks for meeting me, Yuko.

- No problem.

973

01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,716

I've never been so confused in my life.

974

01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,319

[Yuko] Mom, Shizuku's here.

975

01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:45,188

- [Woman] Shizuku, how nice to see you.

- [Shizuku] Hi, Mrs. Harada.

976

01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,271

- [TVplays]

- Hello, girls.

977

01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,755

- Hi, Mr. Harada.

- Hi, Shizuku.

978

01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,149

Would you two like

some tea and cookies?

979

01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:53,838

[Yuko] Yeah. Thanks, Mom.

980

01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,957

I'm having a fight with my father.

I'm not talking to him.

981

01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,679

Boys really have guts, don't they?

982

01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,193

He'll be gone for two months.

983

01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,629

He's returning

for our graduation ceremony,

984

01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,678

then he's going back again

to study for about ten years.

985

01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,830

You'll practically never see him again.

986

01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:16,989

But you're so lucky.

987

01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,072

The two of you sound like

the perfect match, like soulmates.

988

01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,668

He's so much better than me.

We read the same books

989

01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:24,830

but I never do anything

with what I learn.

990

01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:26,916

He decided long ago

what he wanted to do.

991

01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,508

- He's going straight for his dream.

- I guess so.

992

01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,070

You know what? Kinuyo was in

the same first year class as Seiji.

993

01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,158

She said he was a little hard

to approach but a good student

994

01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:38,554

and really handsome too.

995

01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,352

You don't need to rub it in.

996

01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,596

I already feel like

I'm not good enough.

997

01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,278

This whole thing is doomed.

998

01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,789

No, it's not.

All that matters is he likes you.

999

01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,036

- Didn't he say that?

- Yeah.

1000

01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,230

But I'm not sure I believe it.

1001

01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,238

[Sighing] I don't get you.

1002

01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,476

It's so cool.

You could be writing letters

1003

01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,353

and encouraging

each other every single day.

1004

01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,357

How could I ever encourage him?

1005

01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,715

He's worked so much harder

than I ever have.

1006

01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,319

You are weird.

1007

01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,918

Just because you haven't decided

1008

01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,390

what you're going to do after you

graduate from junior high school

1009

01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,040

doesn't mean that you're not

good enough for him.

1010

01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,229

[Sighing]

1011

01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,629

Everyone in school

thinks you're talented.

1012

01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,275

You've read more books than anyone

I know and your lyrics are great.

1013

01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,477

And you can tell people just

what you feel. I can't do that.

1014

01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,391

[Sighing]

1015

01:08:26,480 --> 01:08:28,596

I'm not close to being good enough.

1016

01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,119

- Yes, you are.

- Mm-mmm.

1017

01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:31,474

That's what Seiji said.

1018

01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,750

He isn't sure he has any talent either.

1019

01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,916

I should test myself like he is.

1020

01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,518

That's what I'll do.

I'll try being a writer.

1021

01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:41,919

I've already got a story.

1022

01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,110

I've got two months

to see what I can do.

1023

01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,512

But midterms are coming up.

1024

01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,790

That's OK. Thanks, Yuko.

1025

01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,990

I feel like maybe

I can handle this now.

1026

01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,634

- You're going?

- Yeah. I've gotta get writing.

1027

01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,151

- [Barking]

- Bye, Mr. And Mrs. Harada.

1028

01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,350

- Bye, Sumo.

- Say hello to your mom for me.

1029

01:08:59,480 --> 01:09:00,754

[Shizuku] I will.

1030

01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,118

- You hang in there too, Yuko.

- Mm-hmm.

1031

01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,232

I'm sure Sugimura will see

what a good person you are.

1032

01:09:10,480 --> 01:09:11,674

See you later.

1033

01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,392

So that's it. It's simple.

1034

01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,431

All I have to do

is give my writing a try.

1035

01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,590

[Gasping] Moon.

1036

01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,120

[Girl] Muta! Muta!

1037

01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,471

Hey, Mom, Muta ran off again.

1038

01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,630

Where does he keep going?

1039

01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:35,432

Muta. Huh.

1040

01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,991

Whisper of the Heart

by Shizuku Tsukishima.

1041

01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,076

"Listen to the voice of the forest

1042

01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,988

and the wind that blows

from a far-off cluster of stars."

1043

01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:09,677

[Nishi] So, you want to write

a story about the Baron?

1044

01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,791

Something about him inspires me,

1045

01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,314

but I know the Baron

has special meaning for you,

1046

01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,995

so I thought I'd better ask your

permission before I use him in my book.

1047

01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,275

[Laughing] You can use the Baron.

1048

01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,316

Thank you for asking,

1049

01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:24,396

but I'd like to ask

for a favor in return.

1050

01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,039

Yes?

1051

01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:31,796

Once you have finished your story

I want to be the first to read it, hmm?

1052

01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,195

Oh, uh... I...

1053

01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,633

[Nishi] Is it a deal?

1054

01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,398

Do I really have to show it to you?

1055

01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,671

I've never written anything before.

I'm afraid it's gonna stink.

1056

01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,155

[Laughing]

1057

01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,073

You sound just like all

the other artists that I've met.

1058

01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,556

No one should expect perfection

when they're first starting out.

1059

01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,274

Wait a minute.

I've got something to show you.

1060

01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,230

I think you'll like this.

1061

01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:04,953

Take a look.

1062

01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,198

[Shizuku] It looks like a rock.

1063

01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,676

It's a special kind of rock

called a geode.

1064

01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,955

Hold it close to your eye

and look inside.

1065

01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,712

That's right, like that.

1066

01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,352

Wow.

1067

01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:31,828

Look at that.

1068

01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:33,956

Those crystals are called beryl.

1069

01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,117

There are pieces

of raw emeralds deep inside them.

1070

01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,998

- Aren't emeralds worth a lot of money?

- Sure.

1071

01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,470

But they need

to be cut and polished first.

1072

01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,717

When you first become an artist

you are like that rock.

1073

01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:50,037

You're in a raw natural state

with hidden gems inside.

1074

01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:54,836

You have to dig down deep and find

the emeralds tucked away inside you.

1075

01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,438

And that's just the beginning.

1076

01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,279

Once you've found your gems

you have to polish them.

1077

01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,510

It takes a lot of hard work.

1078

01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,599

Oh, and here's the tricky part:

Look at the crack in the geode.

1079

01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:07,795

OK.

1080

01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,115

You see that big green crystal there?

1081

01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,356

You could spend years polishing that

1082

01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:14,869

and it wouldn't be worth much at all.

1083

01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,349

The smaller crystals

are much more valuable,

1084

01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:20,233

and there may be some even

deeper inside that we can't see

1085

01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:21,952

which are even more precious.

1086

01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,390

[Chuckling] Oh, it's bad to get old.

You just keep rambling.

1087

01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,919

I'll shut up now.

1088

01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,953

What if I look inside myself

and I don't find any gems?

1089

01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:32,718

What if I'm just a rock?

1090

01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,233

I'm going to try anyway.

1091

01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,432

I'll write that story and I'll

let you be the first to read it.

1092

01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,120

That's the spirit.

I'll be looking forward to it.

1093

01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,832

A raw gem in a vein of lapis lazuli.

1094

01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,595

Ah, let us go forth together,

1095

01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,757

in search of the vein of lapis lazuli.

1096

01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,078

Look. Be not fearful.

1097

01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,431

On the day of the new moon

space is warped.

1098

01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,190

[Baron] As such,

things far away loom large

1099

01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,278

whereas things near at hand

appear small.

1100

01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,032

Come, let us fly.

1101

01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,475

We will rise on the updraft!

1102

01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,398

But we must hurry!

1103

01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:28,750

Quick! The planetoids are gathering.

1104

01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:31,668

Shall we?

1105

01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,035

And... off we go!

1106

01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,879

[Shizuku screaming]

1107

01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,000

That's it!

We're riding the air currents.

1108

01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,878

See that tower?

We'll clear it in a single leap.

1109

01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,150

[Shizuku] Are you kidding?

That's so high.

1110

01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,350

[Baron] Ah, it just looks high.

1111

01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:53,278

You'll see once we get closer.

1112

01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,678

Let's go. When the

afternoon air currents mix,

1113

01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:13,716

we can even touch

the stars without fear.

1114

01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,435

That's strange.

1115

01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,230

Shizuku's in nonfiction?

1116

01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,278

I've never seen her look

at anything but fairy tales.

1117

01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:06,108

It's a prisoner locked in a cell

and he's making a violin.

1118

01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,477

[Gasping]

1119

01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,310

Seiji! [gasping]

1120

01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:41,431

I thought you had left for Italy.

1121

01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,760

I just talked to my grandpa.

He said you might be here.

1122

01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,275

I'm glad I found you.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

1123

01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,277

You are?

1124

01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,353

Go on. You should keep working.

1125

01:15:54,480 --> 01:15:56,232

I'll wait until you're done.

1126

01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,997

Sorry I can't see you home.

1127

01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,348

I'm just glad I was able

to see you again.

1128

01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:28,311

I can't go to the airport with you

1129

01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,709

but I'll be waiting for you

when you come back.

1130

01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,478

I'll see you in two months then.

1131

01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,190

I'm sorry for complaining

all the time, Seiji.

1132

01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,748

I promise I'll work hard

while you're gone.

1133

01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,111

Well, I better go.

1134

01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,439

Have a safe trip.

1135

01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,639

Louise, my betrothed and I,

1136

01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,598

were born in a far-off land.

1137

01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,599

[Baron] Back then,

magic was still alive in our town,

1138

01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,075

and the streets

were lined with shops

1139

01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,988

where the descendents of magicians

worked as artisans.

1140

01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:43,230

The craftsman who made us

was a poor apprentice dollmaker.

1141

01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:49,159

But Louise and I were happy,

1142

01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,117

for the man who made us

1143

01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,953

gave us the ability to love.

1144

01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,392

Then one day...

1145

01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,398

[Yuko] Shizuku.

1146

01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,112

Shizuku!

1147

01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,518

- Shizuku!

- [Gasping]

1148

01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,234

The answer, Shizuku?

1149

01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,237

Stand up.

1150

01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,834

I don't know, sir.

I wasn't paying attention.

1151

01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,713

[Teacher] You haven't

been paying attention all week.

1152

01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,434

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Yuko, will you help out Shizuku?

1153

01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,630

Yes, sir.

1154

01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,757

What? You were up

until four in the morning?

1155

01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,440

I just can't seem to stop writing

for some reason.

1156

01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:35,194

You keep spacing out

all the time, like today.

1157

01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,080

I was thinking about my story.

1158

01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,992

There's so much I want to write.

I can't find enough time.

1159

01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,396

[Sighing] I don't feel like eating.

1160

01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,871

[Squeaking]

1161

01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,830

[Shuffling foot]

1162

01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,079

[Shuffling foot]

1163

01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:08,833

- [Door opening]

- [Footsteps]

1164

01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,468

[Mom] Oh! Shizuku, it's you.

1165

01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,272

You scared me half to death.

1166

01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,152

Why didn't you have the lights on?

1167

01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,470

Oh, Shizuku,

you didn't finish the laundry.

1168

01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,034

Get in here, Shizuku! Shizuku!

1169

01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,630

[Slurping] Where's Shizuku?

Doesn't she want dinner?

1170

01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,637

She said she isn't hungry.

1171

01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,669

- [Girls laughing]

- Can you believe that?

1172

01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,074

She actually said that.

1173

01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:55,952

Oh, hello, Mrs. Tsukishima.

1174

01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,514

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

- No trouble at all.

1175

01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,154

Do you know if the career

counseling room is open?

1176

01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,196

- Yeah.

- Come this way.

1177

01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:10,674

[Mom] I'm home.

1178

01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:14,594

Hi there, Mom.

1179

01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,675

You're home early today.

1180

01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,950

Ohh, I'm exhausted.

1181

01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,554

- Want some coffee?

- Sounds great.

1182

01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:29,072

So, Mom, there's something

I need to talk to you about.

1183

01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,436

[Mom] Not something bad, I hope.

I already have a headache.

1184

01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,669

I'm thinking of moving

into my own place.

1185

01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,870

[Shiho] I found the greatest apartment.

1186

01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,030

Honey, can you really

afford to move out?

1187

01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,873

I saved some money from my temp job,

1188

01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,515

and I just got a part-time position

in a test-preparation school.

1189

01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,880

I see. I've gotten so used to you

helping me out while I'm in school.

1190

01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,792

But we'll be fine.

I'll talk to your father about it.

1191

01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,115

Really? Thanks, Mom.

1192

01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,479

Financially I think you'll

have to manage on your own

1193

01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,716

until I finish my last

semester of school.

1194

01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,832

- Once I graduate I can help you out.

- That'd be great.

1195

01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,549

I hate to do this now while you're in

the middle of your master's thesis.

1196

01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:12,755

Don't worry about it.

1197

01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,236

I really appreciate all the help

you gave me preparing the data.

1198

01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,550

It'll be good for Shizuku

to have her own room

1199

01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,229

so she can focus on her studies.

She's been acting so strange lately.

1200

01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:23,588

You're telling me.

1201

01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:27,554

I had a conference today with

one of her teachers. Look at this.

1202

01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,596

Huh. What is it?

1203

01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,711

[Gasping] What's happened to her?

1204

01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:33,717

I've never seen grades this low.

1205

01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,029

It's so strange.

I wonder what she's doing.

1206

01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,838

She's at her desk all day.

1207

01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,754

- Oh, good evening.

- Good evening.

1208

01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,479

Thank you.

1209

01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,830

[Shiho] With grades like that,

no high school will accept you.

1210

01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,872

[Shizuku] Fine. I'm not going

to high school anyway.

1211

01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,952

Are you crazy? You think

a junior high education is enough?

1212

01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,076

What kind of fantasy world

are you living in?

1213

01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,589

Hey, it's my future

so I make the decision.

1214

01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:15,918

Don't give me that attitude. You know

you're being completely ridiculous.

1215

01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,634

If you keep acting like this

you'll ruin your life.

1216

01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,671

School's really made your life great.

1217

01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,513

All you've done since college

is work part-time jobs.

1218

01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,909

[Shiho] I'm making money

and I can support myself.

1219

01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,270

What job will you get

without a college degree?

1220

01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,995

You'll end up destitute because

you're in some stupid rebellious phase.

1221

01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,117

[Shizuku] I'm not being rebellious.

I'm going after my dreams.

1222

01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,993

What dreams? You just

goof around reading books.

1223

01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,317

Stop the arguing, girls.

I've heard enough.

1224

01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,278

But Dad, she's gonna ruin her life

if she keeps this up.

1225

01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,670

Hmm. All right. Let's go

to the kitchen and discuss this.

1226

01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,672

Shizuku, change out

of your uniform first, please.

1227

01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,352

Hurry it up.

1228

01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:08,713

A bit low.

1229

01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,195

Shizuku, are you doing

the best you can?

1230

01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,236

Yes! I take these tests very seriously.

1231

01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,352

Just a little bit ago you said

you weren't going to high school.

1232

01:23:16,440 --> 01:23:19,159

You were the one who said

no high school would accept me.

1233

01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,271

Shiho, I'd like to talk

to Shizuku alone.

1234

01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,436

Would you please

excuse yourself, honey?

1235

01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:24,913

Fine.

1236

01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,599

- Where's your mother?

- She's at the Tanakas.

1237

01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,712

- [Mom] I'm home.

- [Shiho] There she is. Hey, Mom.

1238

01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,798

- [Mom] Is your father home?

- [Shiho] He's in the kitchen.

1239

01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,798

[Dad] Could you come in here?

I'm having a talk with Shizuku.

1240

01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,638

[Mom] Sure. Just a second.

1241

01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,153

[Door closing]

1242

01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,793

[Dad] All right, Shizuku.

1243

01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,030

You have something that you're doing

1244

01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,720

that you think is more important

than studying?

1245

01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,955

Will you tell us what it is?

1246

01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,911

When I can tell you, I will.

1247

01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:05,033

Shizuku, can't you do whatever it is

once your exams are over?

1248

01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,755

I have to do it now. I've only

got three weeks left before he...

1249

01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,759

It's that I promised myself

I'd achieve this certain goal

1250

01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,434

- or I'm not good enough.

- Good enough for what?

1251

01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,795

Why do you need to prove yourself?

1252

01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,832

[Mom] We can't help you

unless you tell us what's going on.

1253

01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,675

What could you be doing that you

can't tell your mother and father about?

1254

01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,509

- Honey, please.

- Oh, sorry. I'll put it out.

1255

01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,437

[Exhaling]

1256

01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,032

You work so hard in the library.

1257

01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,628

Whatever you're doing,

I know it's important to you.

1258

01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:46,479

And I truly respect that.

1259

01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,678

Honey, why don't we let Shizuku

do what she thinks is best?

1260

01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,115

Not everyone needs

to follow the same path.

1261

01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:54,275

[Mom] Hmm.

1262

01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,757

Well, I have to admit I've often dreamed

about straying from the path myself.

1263

01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:04,632

All right, Shizuku, go ahead

and do what your heart tells you.

1264

01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,713

But it's never easy when you do

things differently from everyone else.

1265

01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:13,510

If things don't go well,

you'll only have yourself to blame.

1266

01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,637

And I want you to eat meals with us,

no matter how busy you get.

1267

01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,029

That's right.

We like to see you once in a while.

1268

01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,720

- OK.

- Tell your sister we're finished.

1269

01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,471

I'll make us some tea.

1270

01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,395

[Shiho] Hey, Shizuku.

1271

01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,238

Dad let you have your own way,

1272

01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,113

but he wants you to study

and get into a good high school.

1273

01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,998

I know that.

It was written all over his face.

1274

01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,789

By the way,

I'm gonna be moving out next Sunday.

1275

01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,751

You'll have the room to yourself.

1276

01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,075

You're moving out? I didn't know that.

1277

01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,628

[Shiho] Yep.

You're gonna be on your own now.

1278

01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,275

[Panting]

1279

01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:04,110

[Baron] Hurry! Faster! Faster!

1280

01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,998

Only one stone is genuine.

1281

01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,150

Which one? Which one is real?

1282

01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,032

[Baron] You are on your own now.

1283

01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,112

You must make the choice yourself.

1284

01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:15,468

Hurry!

1285

01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,394

[Gasping]

1286

01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,636

[Shizuku screaming]

1287

01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,108

[Blowing]

1288

01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,670

[Snoring]

1289

01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,675

[Creaking]

1290

01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,993

Louise, you've come back to me.

1291

01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:55,153

I'm sorry I've grown old.

I didn't know you'd return.

1292

01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,039

[Thump]

1293

01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,437

[Sighing]

1294

01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,790

[Creaking]

1295

01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,072

Shizuku. Please, come on in.

1296

01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,715

I was just taking a nap.

1297

01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:28,075

Did I wake you? I'm sorry.

1298

01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,237

I hate to bother you, Mr. Nishi,

but my story's finished.

1299

01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,155

Ooh, wonderful.

1300

01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,549

Oh, you should be very proud.

1301

01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,195

Well, here it is. You're the first one

to read it, just as promised.

1302

01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,072

Well, this is a good-sized novel.

1303

01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:47,516

Whisper of the Heart

by Shizuku Tsukishima.

1304

01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,273

I know it's a bit long,

but could you read it right away?

1305

01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,316

I'll just wait here, if you don't mind.

1306

01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,153

I could, but you've

put so much into this.

1307

01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,589

Shouldn't I take my time

and read it carefully?

1308

01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,274

I'd rather you read it now,

'cause I'm kind of nervous.

1309

01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,994

You don't have to read it all,

just a few pages.

1310

01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,436

And then...

then if it's boring you can quit.

1311

01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:09,080

I understand. I'll read it right away.

1312

01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,431

Have a seat by the fire.

It's getting cold.

1313

01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,197

There. Now no one will disturb us.

1314

01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:26,991

Uh, would it be OK with you

if I wait downstairs?

1315

01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:28,638

- Hmm?

- I won't get cold.

1316

01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:30,153

I'd rather not watch you read.

1317

01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,430

Hmm. That'll be fine. Go ahead.

1318

01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:30,113

[Jets roaring]

1319

01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,310

[Door opening]

1320

01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,117

So, there you are.

1321

01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,629

I finished your book, Shizuku.

1322

01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,078

Thank you, dear.

It was really wonderful.

1323

01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:55,673

No, it's not! It's a mess.

1324

01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,631

The storyline goes all over the place.

1325

01:30:57,760 --> 01:30:59,876

All the characters' dialogue

sounds corny.

1326

01:30:59,960 --> 01:31:02,952

You have to tell me the truth.

I know it's a complete disaster.

1327

01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,079

No. It's just a bit rough, dear,

like Seiji's violin.

1328

01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,350

What I read was raw and heartfelt.

1329

01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,835

You should be very proud

for all your hard work.

1330

01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,236

You've dug inside your soul

and found some real gems.

1331

01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,114

Next you'll need to polish it,

which will also take a lot of work.

1332

01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:26,679

There's no need to be upset.

Just have a little patience.

1333

01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,360

[Sobbing]

1334

01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:53,557

Now let's go inside. It's cold out here.

1335

01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,278

OK. [sniffling]

1336

01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,591

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be crying.

1337

01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,280

I wanted so badly to do a good job,

1338

01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:04,949

but there's so much that I don't know

about writing. [sobbing]

1339

01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,318

And Seiji, he's so much

more accomplished than I am.

1340

01:32:09,440 --> 01:32:11,795

[Sniffling] I can never catch up.

1341

01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,996

I can never be good enough.

1342

01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:15,997

[Crying]

1343

01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,078

I see. You must be very fond of Seiji.

1344

01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:24,997

[Shizuku slurping]

1345

01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:34,276

[Sniffling]

1346

01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:37,271

[Blowing]

1347

01:32:38,440 --> 01:32:40,271

How do you like your noodles, hmm?

1348

01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,874

[Sniffling] I like them a lot.

1349

01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,999

When Seiji finished making

his very first violin,

1350

01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,514

he was far more upset

than you are today.

1351

01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,149

It took four batches of noodles

to calm him down. [chuckling]

1352

01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,030

Ah. Thank you, dear.

1353

01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,232

Now tell me, how far did we get

into the Baron's story?

1354

01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:05,710

You were a student in Germany

when you found the Baron in a caf�.

1355

01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:07,512

Ah, that's right.

1356

01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:13,078

I was captivated by his expression.

It was so sad and mysterious.

1357

01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,397

So I begged the owner of the caf�

to let me buy the Baron.

1358

01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,671

[Nishi] But he refused to sell it to me.

1359

01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:24,032

He said the Baron had a female companion

who was away for repairs.

1360

01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,230

The two of them made

such a beautiful couple

1361

01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,555

he didn't think it was right

to separate them.

1362

01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:33,310

I told him that as soon as the Baroness

was repaired, I'd buy them both.

1363

01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,790

The Baroness, her name

was Louise, isn't that right?

1364

01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,872

No one knows this,

but Louise was the name

1365

01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,389

of a woman I went to school with.

1366

01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:44,391

She and I became very close,

1367

01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:48,308

and every day we'd meet at the caf�

to see if the Baroness had returned.

1368

01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,430

Louise pleaded with the caf� owner

to sell me the Baron.

1369

01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,279

She promised to buy the Baroness

and hold onto her

1370

01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,874

until the two statues could be reunited.

1371

01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,560

Finally the caf� owner agreed,

1372

01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,910

and I left for Japan with the Baron.

1373

01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:07,238

I promised Louise that I would return

to Germany as soon as possible,

1374

01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:11,472

and I vowed that when the Baron

and Baroness were reunited,

1375

01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:13,113

so would we be.

1376

01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,634

But the war began

soon after my departure

1377

01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:22,679

and I wasn't able to return to Germany

until many years later.

1378

01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,593

I visited our caf� and I searched

all over Germany

1379

01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:29,557

but I could find no trace of her.

1380

01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:34,835

I never saw Louise

or the Baroness again.

1381

01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:40,069

I'm sorry. So that's why you never

want to talk about the Baron.

1382

01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,152

But you've done something

wonderful for me, Shizuku.

1383

01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:47,233

What was only a memory for me has

gained new life thanks to your story.

1384

01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:49,191

Oh, that reminds me.

1385

01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,870

Now hold out your hands.

1386

01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:05,755

But I...

1387

01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,559

That geode suits you better than me.

1388

01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:10,079

I want you to have it.

1389

01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,272

Promise me you'll polish

your story well.

1390

01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,158

I will. [sniffling]

1391

01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:31,638

Thanks for everything, Mr. Nishi.

1392

01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:33,193

My pleasure.

1393

01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:37,392

See you later.

1394

01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,237

[Door opening]

1395

01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,595

- [Shizuku] Anyone home?

- I'm in here.

1396

01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:53,912

Is Dad around?

1397

01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:55,268

He's in the bathtub.

1398

01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,470

Do you know what time it is,

young lady?

1399

01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,437

I'd like to make a formal announcement.

1400

01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,750

I've decided that I want

to attend high school.

1401

01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,950

- I'll start studying tomorrow.

- Really?

1402

01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,719

Does that mean you've already

finished your project?

1403

01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:08,358

For the time being.

1404

01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:11,909

Do you want dinner? I made curry.

1405

01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,877

[Shizuku] No, thanks.

1406

01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,434

[Sighing] For the time being, huh?

1407

01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,437

[Chuckling]

1408

01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:25,589

[Sighing]

1409

01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,319

[Dad] Shizuku, the bathroom's free

if you want it.

1410

01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,829

[Deep breathing]

1411

01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,554

Look at her, my little warrior.

1412

01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:53,513

Let's see.

1413

01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:01,518

[Dad] Sweet dreams.

1414

01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:03,878

[Closing door]

1415

01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:18,872

Huh?

1416

01:37:38,480 --> 01:37:40,038

[Sighing]

1417

01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:42,159

[Shuddering]

1418

01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:54,948

Seiji?

1419

01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:03,997

Yeah. Just a second.

1420

01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,400

[Rattling]

1421

01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:20,549

I can't believe this.

You were actually awake.

1422

01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:22,079

This isn't a dream, is it?

1423

01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,510

No. I came back from Italy

a day early. Get on.

1424

01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,352

Oh, wait a minute.

1425

01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:29,158

You'll be cold like that.

1426

01:38:31,480 --> 01:38:33,391

OK, hop on.

1427

01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:37,308

- You'll be cold. I'll get a jacket.

- There's not enough time. Let's go.

1428

01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,117

All right, hold on tight now.

1429

01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:48,635

[Seiji] I wanted to see you

as soon as I got home,

1430

01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:52,030

so I stood outside your window

hoping you'd look outside and see me.

1431

01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,197

Suddenly you were standing there.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

1432

01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:57,356

We must be meant

for each other, Shizuku.

1433

01:38:57,440 --> 01:38:59,396

I still can't believe I'm not dreaming.

1434

01:38:59,480 --> 01:39:01,630

Who cares? This is a great dream.

1435

01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:03,239

[Horn beeping]

1436

01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,312

How did things go in Italy?

1437

01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,039

[Seiji] My master said

I'm not great yet, but I could be.

1438

01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,151

I've decided to finish

high school first,

1439

01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:14,679

then I'll go back to Cremona.

1440

01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,270

- Should I get off?

- No. Stay on.

1441

01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:29,512

I decided I was going

to ride up this steep hill

1442

01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,392

carrying you with me. [panting]

1443

01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,033

Who said you could decide that?

1444

01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,151

[Panting]

1445

01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,555

I don't want to be

just a burden for you.

1446

01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:44,188

If I'm going with you

I'm going to help you.

1447

01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,437

[Panting] All right, go ahead and help.

1448

01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:49,033

Just a bit further.

1449

01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:51,714

[Both panting]

1450

01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:05,278

Shizuku, hurry up! Get on!

1451

01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,439

[Panting]

1452

01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:24,476

Ah, just in time.

1453

01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,153

Wow.

1454

01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:31,031

- Need a hand?

- I'm fine.

1455

01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:35,479

Look at this.

1456

01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:52,913

Amazing.

1457

01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,315

With all that mist,

it looks like the ocean.

1458

01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:57,715

Yeah. This is where I come

to get inspired.

1459

01:40:57,840 --> 01:40:59,478

You'll see in a second.

1460

01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:44,111

[Seiji] I wanted to show this to you.

1461

01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:45,673

It's beautiful, isn't it?

1462

01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:50,555

Grandpa told me about all

the amazing writing you've been doing.

1463

01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:52,910

I feel bad that I wasn't here

to encourage you.

1464

01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,752

I was just off thinking about myself.

1465

01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,917

Mm-mmm. You're the one

who inspired me, Seiji.

1466

01:41:58,000 --> 01:41:59,956

I'm glad I pushed myself.

1467

01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:01,951

I know myself a little bit better now.

1468

01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,070

I realized I need a lot more schooling,

1469

01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:09,351

so I don't mind doing what it takes

to get into a good high school.

1470

01:42:09,440 --> 01:42:12,398

Shizuku. I've been thinking.

1471

01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:13,913

It's that...

1472

01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,594

I know this might sound

really weird to you,

1473

01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:18,915

but could you see us

getting married someday?

1474

01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:20,319

[Gasping]

1475

01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,789

I promise I'll be

a professional violin maker

1476

01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:24,950

and you can be a professional writer.

1477

01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:28,512

Mm-hmm.

1478

01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:30,676

Does this sound corny?

1479

01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,712

It's a little corny, but you're

a violin maker, not a writer.

1480

01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:35,751

That's true. This is great!

1481

01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:39,395

Come here. It's getting cold.

1482

01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,796

Shizuku, I love you!
