- What are you doing? - its Paprika!
you stucking that machine arnt you?
The ecstasy that blooms in synapse is Paprika-brand milk fat!
And Five percent what you use.
Tokita! Stop it!
The safety net of the ocean is nonlinear, even with what crabs dreams of!
Let's go!
Wake up!
So you're saying...
...the dreams of Tokita and Himuro merged into Konakawa's dream?
The anaphylaxis of the DC Mini is expanding exponentially!
Just meet me at the lab.
They're not dreaming?
But they're in REM sleep.
It's as if... their conscious itself has been erased.
I guess this calls for Paprika.
I'll dive into Himuro's dream.
That's the only way to save Tokita.
Chief, can you hear me?
Yeah, I hear you loud and clear.
Any abnormalities?
This dream is very dangerous.
If anything happens to Atsuku, use the awakening apparatus.
Of course.
But is it really safe? Tokita is gone because he went into Himuro's dream.
Who du you think I am?
I'm sorry to have doubted you.
There they are!
Himuro isn't there.
But it's his dream.
Osanai?
Be careful.
Leave it to me.
Himuro.
Wake her up!
Chief! Hurry!
That's not Himuro's dream anymore.
So he was a victim too.
He's an empty shell.
He was invaded by a collective dream.
A collective dream?
With no access restrictions the DC Mini can be used to invade any psychotherapy machine.
Every dream it came in contact with was eaten up into one huge delusion.
And that delusion belongs to...
This breath seethes in the joy of life.
I will not allow arrogant scientific technology to intrude in this holy ground.
Return Dr. Tokita to us.
The dreams are horrified that their safe refuge is destroyed by technology.
Are you going to punish him like you did Himuro?
In a world of inhumane reality it is the only humane sanctuary left.
That is a dream.
That parade is full of refugees who were unwillingly chased out of reality.
You are collecting those with stolen technology.
Do you plan to take over the world of dreams?
I am protecting them.
I am the guardian of dreams.
My duty is to mete out justice to terrorists like you, Paprika.
Don't make me get rough with you.
This is a dream too, huh?
Paprika, wake up! Paprika!
Wake up, Chiba!
Chiba! Paprika!
The sphinx look doesn't suit you.
An intelligent researcher by day, the chairman's humble servant by night.
Is that it?
Shut up!
I have many faces. That makes me human!
Oedipus is the perfect look for a man completely controlled by the chairman!
Shut up!
That's right, keep running.
There are nu boundaries to dreams.
The spirit will be freed from the constraints of the body and gain limitless freedom.
Including me!
I will also be free!
The dream continues from here.
No! Paprika!
It's a trap!
Chief! Wake her up!
Please hurry!
What a lovely sight.
Osanai!
What is this? Let me go!
But I finally caught you.
Where is Tokita?
I have no interest in such ugly things.
Of course, because you're not.
You were Himuro's idol after all.
Shut up! Just shut up!
You sold your body for the DC Mini, didn't you?
Don't remind me!
You coward!
Stop it!
This is my sanctuary, and you'll do as I say.
I'm a special person.
Yes, hand-chosen by the chairman.
Osanai, you used to be smarter than that.
You don't know it’s true power!
The DC Mini was, in a way, complete.
No, better than complete.
We can now go back and forth between dreams and reality even without the DC Mini, while awake.
You were the one who set up Atsuko at Himuro's place.
It was just a friendly warning to a terrorist threatening dreams.
You're just like an old baldy I know.
We are the chosen ones, assigned to protect the sanctuary...
...threatened by technology that has lost its philosophy.
You're just twisted.
You should understand.
Dreams are so sacred, they cannot be controlled...
What would you know? You're just a little man controlled by jealousy.
You really think you can beat Tokita?
I warned you, don't make me get rough.
You should call it a night.
Don't worry, I'm drunk.
The fact that I know I'm drunk is proof that I'm sober.
This isn't a real bar and this isn't real alcohol, and you're not a real bartender.
Right?
I'm sober...
...even if odds and sods go around in my head.
Paprika will come, right?
Do you not like the number 17?
The conspiratorial 17.
You're familiar with movies, as if you've made them before.
I did.
Shot an independent on an 8 mm.
It was child's play.
When you were in high school?
When I was 17...
It's a silly cop story.
Two men who used to be best friends, are now fugitive and cop engaged in a chase.
They just keep running...
...and flashbacks of their past play throughout.
Very experimental.
That guy...
How could I have forgotten about him until now?
He was always one step ahead of me.
He was smart and popular with the girls.
I could never catch up with him.
I was frustrated at myself, for not being frustrated with him.
He really was a good guy.
We talked about making movies together.
But I gave up.
I didn't have the confidence.
I left the unfinished movie for him to deal with.
And that friend now?
He died.
He had just gotten accepted to film school, but he was sick.
He didn't tell me.
I betrayed him.
I was his partner. I was his counterpart.
He was the other...
The other me.
But what about the rest of it?!
Wait!
Stop!
Why do you dress like a girl?
Paprika! Why do you dress like a girl?
Paprika!
The real you is more befitting of me.
Paprika!
Stop, please...
...you jealous, perverted prince!
You have a bad habit of trying to manipulate people with your words.
And you think you can manipulate people with power?
In here, yes.
I love you.
I love you as you are.
I will show no mercy for those who defy me.
Chairman...
You cannot hide anything from me.
Chairman, not her. Not her!
Can you not control even one sensual desire?
Please! Please spare her!
Why won't you obey me?
You are nothing without me!
But I love her.
Paprika!
Are you okay?
I knew you were Paprika.
What are you doing? You will obey!
Disgusting.
You fool. Swayed by a mere woman.
I'm too anxious to dream!
Konakawa?
Shima? Is that you?
Konakawa.
Why are you in Chiba's dream?
Why are you a monkey?
What's going on?
I'll explain later. Just go!
Go where?
To your dream!
Don't get in the way of my dream!
This is my dream. You get out!
I am justice!
Freeze!
How's that for traumatic?
What about the rest of it?!
It's coming up right now!
This time, I'll end it!
That hurts.
It's over.
Chief.
Is this really the real world?
I think so.
See? It hurts a lot.
But why was Konakawa in your dream?
That's right, Paprika was saved by Mr. Konakawa.
The chairman and Osanai...
Tokita!
What about Tokita?
Osanai! What's wrong?
Osanai!
No! No! Osanai!
You can't go!
That body is mine! I will not allow you to act on your own!
My noble spirit needs that body!
When the two become one, I will be complete!
Something's wrong.
Not just Tokita, but what just happened with Osanai.
Don't worry. We just need to get the mastermind.
A happy ending is right around the corner.
But that mastermind is lost in his own delusion.
No problem.
We have backup.
Mr. Konakawa.
The number you called fur assisting young children...
... is not available because of crowded lines in the Pacific Ocean...
... starting at 7:63 a.m.
The battle has ended.
Now...
...it's showtime!
Today’s weather is dreamy and will clear up after a sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny day.
The dream I had yesterday and today.
The happy and mundane world will vent their anger.
The dreams will grow and grow. Let's grow the tree that blooms money.
It's most valuable while it's still a bud.
That's right, so we shall preserve the memory forever.
If there is no flower, there will be no fruit.
If there's nothing, then I won't do anything.
If you're unhappy, please put a vote in this eyeball.
Who would give up this throne?
I am the emperor, chosen by the lord himself!
I didn't choose you!
God and Buddha will change religions.
The happy and mundane world will vent their anger.
Am I still dreaming?
Yes, the whole world is.
You forgot this.
Thank you.
Now, let's go.
Where?
To clean up this mess.
Dreams and reality are merging?
Is this because of the DC Mini too?
Chief! Hold on!
Paprika?
No time for questions. Hurry up!
Why are you here?
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Is this reality?
Hurry! We have to get the mastermind!
It's as if we're in a dream.
Hurry!
Don't get ahead of yourself, Paprika!
Don't think you're always right.
Tokita.
Let's go, Atsuko.
I have to help Tokita.
Leave that irresponsible fatso.
Why don't you listen?
You're a part of me!
Have you ever thought that maybe you are a part of me?
Do as I say!
To think that you can control yourself and others.
You're just like an old baldy I know.
Let's go.
We need to stop that old baldy and his excursions.
Now!
No!
I can't just leave Tokita because I...
Because what?
Chiba!
She's become true to herself, hasn't she?
An overweight spirit needs no diet!
Go forward, superhero, to anywhere you please!
Tokita, wake up! It's me!
The one I've been waiting for since historic times!
Your flute's melody is a sound for sore neurons!
Yes, try to remember.
Atsuko, the one you like!
It's me, At-chan!
A fragrant fat is a first class lunch!
It needs a little more spice.
Maybe a little paprika?
What is this?
A big hole.
I can see that!
It's connected.
To the other world.
The other... You mean?
What should we do?
Run?
You think so too?
Well-rounded achievement is missing a spice.
Paprika found!
Hey!
Paprika! Shima! Are you two okay?
Mr. Konakawa!
Konakawa.
Chiba?
I'm in a bind.
I can see that.
It's not that!
Sorry.
You're such a slob.
I know.
You're fat, slow and sloppy.
It's not the outside that counts, but there's a limit to that too.
Yeah.
To think, a food disposal like you is the genius of the century.
I swallow everything.
I know.
You're so much fun.
Atsuko is dreaming.
What is that?
Our chairman!
I feel great!
I am reborn!
Look! I am standing!
With my own legs!
I am perfect!
I can control the dreams, and even death!
Now, to make the cosmos complete...
...I shall heal all deficiencies!
Way to go, Lord of Darkness!
Light and dark. Reality and dreams.
Life and death. Man and?
Woman?
Then you add the missing spice.
Paprika?
Bingo.
Paprika!
The new cosmos begins with me!
Who is eating up my dream?
Is that Paprika?
Well, it's a girl.
Why won't you obey?
Have we awoken from the dream?
I just had the best dream.
I had a good dream too. The first in a long time.
I guess I've been dumped.
You mean you were serious?
But Paprika is a woman in your dreams.
That's true. I'll see her in my dreams again someday.
How are your dreams going?
I almost forgot about it.
Did you find out what was causing it?
The cause...
You didn't do anything wrung.
You just lived out our movie in real life.
That's why you became a cop.
It's truth that came from fiction. Always remember that.
Yeah, all the truths and the fiction.
Welcome.
I have a message fur you from Miss Paprika.
I heard you caught the perpetrator in that homicide case. Congratulations.
I also have an announcement:
Atsuku's last name will change to Tukita.
P.S.
The movie "Dreaming Kids" was very good. I recommend it.
- Dreaming Kids -
One adult, please.
