We never conceal the truth, no subject is taboo
We try to share everything with each other
This is our family rule
Good morning
Say,
where'd you cook me up?
Cook you up?
Where was I invested with life, my destiny-origination?
A love hotel
- Where? - Wild Monkeys
Wild Monkeys?
That monkey billboard in the mall That love hotel there
And me?
Right here, Ko
Where here?
Right there
In the refrigerator?
But doesn't Wild Monkey sound like you're totally dumb?
Kimura Hana was Amsterdam
"I'd like to visit Amsterdam someday,
"I'm sure I'll feel a sense of nostalgia there," she says. Revolting
She got made when her folks went to Amsterdam to smoke pot
Her name's Kimura Hana? Like the flower?
They're definitely ex-hippies
Sure beats Wild Monkeys
Wish I hadn't asked I wanna die
Your mother didn't like Wild Monkeys, either,
but that day, everywhere else was full
Hotel Merry-go-round, Hotel White Parasol,
Hotel Mr. Mountain Bear...
Each time they turned us down, it only stiffened our resolve
So we settled for Wild Monkeys
Great memory, but then you're an ex-class president
Of course, we're talking Wild Monkeys
Already 16 years since Wild Monkeys
And 17 years since this Grand Urban Maison was built
It's just a housing project
Shit
At least eat your egg
I'm off
Honey, wait, take out the garbage
Sure, sure, I'm off
Off you go
Kyobashi Takashi, Eriko, Mana, Ko
Wait, wait
''Home remodeling is the way to go!
''Today's topic...
''Remodeling with new wallpaper is the way to go!"
Listen
About your bear...
It's pink
Yeah, it's pink
Your bear...
How can he bear it?
Are you nuts?
How can your bear it?
... leave a 5 yen coin under your bed, and you'll get lucky in love
A pearl of wisdom
I'll definitely check it out, starting tonight
Happy Birthday, Mommy May 18, 1991
HANGING GARDEN
For real? Intense
That's totally intense
Right? Isn't Kimura Hana a creep?
No, I can't believe your family discussed it first thing in the morning
It's our family rule that we don't hide anything
In the Kyobashi family, nothing's embarrassing
Wow, intense
That's so intense
No way that would happen in my family
That's because your family's grounded
What?
Your feet are on the ground
You're just dissing my family because they're farmers
I'm not dissing them Being grounded is cool
Nothing cool about it
Oh, I'd like to blow this place up
Why? Thanks to this place we can live in the sticks,
but still eat Italian, Balinese, and go to Starbucks
Don't tell me you like Discovery Mall
I'd die without Discovery Center
Totally brainwashed
Listen, Mokki
You asked me what I wanted for my birthday, right?
It's not a thing, but there is somewhere I want to go
Where?
Hurry up and tell me
That grandma over there, keeled over this morning
Hospitals are just a place to dump old women
Mother, you're smoking!
You really should shorten your skirt
You've got zero sex appeal
Is Takashi really keeping up with his work?
I mean, the man's over 40
He has to pull that silver spoon out of his mouth
and get a real job, so you don't have to work
Mother, why won't you let them operate?
I can't stand it, anesthetics and all...
Why?
Why...
What, what are you doing!
I'm off, then
Wait a minute
Take this and treat Mana on her birthday
It's OK
It's not for you, for Mana
I don't need it
Treat the 3 of you on the sly, without your dumb hubby
Oh, no, pick them up
Don't leave it on the floor
If you put 5 yen coins under your bed, you get lucky in love
That's what they said on TV
Satoko san
How are we feeling today?
A melon!
Hey, my 5 yen coins!
Tempura with noodles, ready
Welcome
Sorry to keep you waiting Here are your orders
Take your time
Thank you
Ninny
Stop calling me that
Sorry, it's just, that's what my Mom calls you
What an amazing coincidence that you and Mom were in the same class,
all through school
The manager says your bathroom breaks are too long
And your absentee rate's high You'll get fired
It's not like soba noodles You can't just cut off a shit
Ninny, you used to be totally depressed, right?
Mom told me all about it
Always alone and super sensitive
Always smiling to cover up Totally empty Ninny
Oops, was that supposed to be a secret?
I have no secrets
Liar, that's impossible You're so pathetic
Then, why are you smiling? Answer me
Hey, Sacchi, more soba water
Not until after you've eaten soba
Manager, she's got a sexually transmitted disease
What?
Chlamy... dai?
Chlamydia
She says it hurts when she pees so she washes it with soba water
The poor girl
Two orders of soba water, please
Hey!
Throw out all the soba water!
Hotel Wild Monkeys
Here it is
For real
It's really here?
Let's go
Way, way... wait! Way, wait!
Hey, wait!
Wild Monkeys, huh? Wild Monkeys Hotel's over the top
Hey, there's karaoke
Hey, a revolving bed!
I wonder if the bathroom door really doesn't lock...
I could probably live here...
lf, today, just if...
If you come inside me and it reaches my ovaries,
we'd become an instant family
That's kind of intense
Actually, it's so simple, really
I'll take it off
Sorry
I can't, just can't
So tacky
Don't mind, don't mind
I want to run away
Shall we use Viagra?
I can't afford it
I'll get you some for a present on your birthday
Let's do karaoke
I want to stay here forever
"So? "So?
"I walk with my back to the streets"
You should be ashamed of yourself
A human with no shame is no better than a monkey. Right?
We wear clothes and don't have sex in public, because we're ashamed
Excuse me, can I get another beer?
I think morals are conceptualized shame
Why don't you smoke in non-smoking buses?
Why don't you suck on a young girl's leg?
Because you're ashamed
I'm ashamed
That's why people who have no concept of shame are so impossible
I mean, wimps like you
Yes
This is for you
What?
Do you know what today is?
What day was it?
The day you stole my virginity
Oh, right...
Can I open it?
Because I was raised in a family that couldn't remember my birthday,
I want to celebrate the day I became a woman
I'm so thrilled Thank you, thank you so much
Oh, good
I think that's all for today
I bit your nipple
a little too hard
You drew a little blood
Do it right I want you to do it right
Stop wimping out and dithering around like some stupid wimp
Stop dissing me and your wife and kids and everyone around you
Get it?
Yes, I'm sorry
Yes? Yes? Yes?
Yes
Don't yes me
Bye bye
Mother
Time to go home, you loner
What are you doing here?
Dropped in for some snacks
I'll go buy them
Sacchi, the part-timer, started going steady with a guy
and she's always just not showing up
I was late because of a thing over firing her
Lucky her, going steady with a guy
What happened to your teddy bear?
Oh, I attached him to Mokki's bag
But you were crazy about that bear
Adultery prevention
Oh, sorry, sorry
Say, seeing as I got home so late tonight,
let's call a cab and grab some Balinese food at Discover
Not me, I'm busy
Then I've got homework, too
OK, well, next time, then
Listen, I really think we need 4 keys, one for each of us
But we're one family
I don't want you to come home to an empty home
I bit your nipple...
Thanks for the watch
Wear it
My house is this way
I bit your nipple
a little too hard...
My house is this way
Wear it
Mother keeps insisting she won't be anaesthetized
Lung cancer, right? Let's do it
Surgery is her only option
Then she'll have to move hospitals and we don't have the money
But we've got love
The other day...
I looked up how much we still owe on our mortgage
I learned we still owe 30 million yen
All the payments we made these 15 years,
went mostly for interest That's not fair, is it?
The world's full of unfairness
Oh, I know Mana says,
she wants to go to the new sushi place in the mall for her birthday
Why not?
We'll blow 30,000 yen
Only 30,000?
When I ask Ko what he wants to do, he just says, "Whatever"
When I ask him what he wants to eat, it's "Whatever"
If that's teenage rebellion, it's sure a gutless rebellion
He's probably holding it in
30,000 yen, huh? Better increase my hours
No, I'll pay for it
Oh, I'm really wiped Good night, turn out the lights
It's 5 years since we last did it...
Thank you, then
Kyobashi san, how's the property?
I'll have to consider the matter
A place near the mall that allows 2 mid-size dogs is a prize
Yes, you're right, but I'll take you, Mina, over the dogs
Let go of me, they'll find out You really can't
Nobody's around at this hour
What is it?
That's my son
When are you due?
One more month
So soon
You just got pregnant the other day
It'll get faster with the kids growing up
Have the baby before the rainy season
She looks so happy sleeping
Sorry, were you dreaming about getting high?
No, dreaming about not having a home, right, Ninny?
Give me a soda
You free?
Please
You're the only one I can ask, Ninny This is the last time
Pay me back
One more
I got fired from my job
Thank you So you do feel guilty
What? For what?
Chlamydia I'll give it to you
What? Really?
That manager, I stroked him a little and he came in a second
You've got a teenage daughter, right?
Her name's Mana, right? It's probably too late by now
She's probably in Wild Monkeys getting fucked,
from front and from behind and everywhere else
Shut the fuck up!
Say, Ninny, why do you always have that perfect smile?
To keep up the lies? Because you're empty?
Stop!
If you stick to your story, it stops being a lie
Eriko, huh? What about school?
Haven't been to school in a long time I just get bullied there, anyway
I'd gotten used to the bullying,
but getting used to it and asking for it are different, right?
How's your family?
Mom brings men home so I can't go home, which is just a housing project
What can you do
You call her Mom, but she's just a grown up kid
Scalp a human and we're all just skulls
Not food for humans
Oh right, it's your birthday
That's why I wanted to come to my destiny-origination
We all come into this world crying
And bloody, too
Do you have a family? Would you like to start over?
Get married, buy a house, have babies and your own...
Your family's finished
Welcome to Babylon, Queen
Start over?
It was all over a long time ago
You really are clueless, aren't you?
Really are clueless
You really like me, don't you?
Don't you like me?
You're here because you like me
You wouldn't be here if you didn't Right? Right?
You're not lying, are you?
I'll do it myself
I think you're a really pathetic human being
Happy Birthday
Boss, my father slipped in the bathroom and hit his head twice...
I'm terribly sorry, but could I take the day off...
Oh, really? Thank you Sorry to inconvenience you
Wimp
I had a feeling I might run into you
I bit your nipple...
Um...
Yes
I'd like to visit your show room
Can you show me your student ID?
I'm home
Welcome home
Honey, a phone
A phone?
Won it in a bingo game for our client's new employees
Wow, amazing
I can't believe my bingo luck
Oh, she's Kitano Mina She's going to tutor Ko
Tutor Ko?
This is my Dad
Dad? You always call him, Papa
Shut up, sis
Nice to meet you, I'm Kitano Mina Just call me Mina, Papa
Ko just brought her home, out of the blue
He saw the flyer advertising tutors in the mall, and called her up himself
He's never shown such initiative,
and her monthly fee's reasonable
Even if he doesn't have exams,
his grades will matter in high school
Let's eat Sit down, Papa
Please, sit down, teacher
What's that yellow car?
It's a Wimp Q
Another day, Papa
Papa, this beer's totally delicious
Oh, thanks
You, too, teacher
Why, thank you
What? Your bank passbook? Not again
How could you not take something so important to the hospital?
Yeah, so, where is it?
The Buddhist altar? Hold on
Hello, mother
Hello, nice to see you
I'll bring it later
What is the purpose of a show room, teacher?
Well, the show room is for...
Cake time... is the way to go
How many times do I have to tell you to knock?
Oh, sorry, sorry
Oh, why thank you
I have to go to your grandmother's house
Take your time
Right And I'll stop by the hospital
OK?
You see,
if she keeps this up, Eriko won't make it into college
Her attendance is much too low
Why don't you try getting her some counseling
I think she may be mildly depressed
An acquaintance of mine is a doctor
Why don't you consult with him?
It's all my fault
The way she turned out is all...
it's all my fault
Oh, no, I don't think so
I'm so sorry, it's all my fault
Oh, no, that's not true
Please, be strong
It's not a matter of assigning blame
My marriage was all wrong
Her father was the worst sort of man!
And she takes after him
I was happy with just my older boy
I never intended to have a second child
Her older brother is such a good boy
I never should've had her I never should've had her
I never should've had that girl
I never should've had her I never should've...
Die with me! Die with me!
There is just one thing
I'm hiding from my family
That the Kyobashi family
was created according to my perfect plan
Mana wasn't an unexpected child
I'd kept track of my cycle since I was 15
I looked for a boy who could make a family,
and staked my life on fashion and beauty to catch that boy
I also devoted 3 years of high school to studying only
child rearing and home economics
Don't walk in front Don't walk in front
Don't look this way Don't look this way
Don't breathe Don't breathe
Don't wimp out, Ninny
I couldn't fit in
My classmates called me strange names,
and collectively ignored me
My high school life was barren and hopelessly empty
The only place I had to go was home,
and at home, I was stuck with my mother
I met Takashi when he took
a part-time job at the company I joined after finishing high school
I observed him for one month and made my choice
Hotel Wild Monkeys
On his last day, I asked him out and he was easy,
inviting me right on to the hotel
I figured he was that kind of guy,
but that was hardly relevant to my plans
The crucial question, was when I told him I was pregnant,
would he grudgingly accept it or run away
Takashi
