Let's say I'm going on a date with a woman.
While sipping our wine,
we will make pleasant conversation about movies or hobbies.
As the conversation gets exciting, her wine drinking speed
will get faster. Normally in this situation, thoughts like
"After this we should go to a hotel"
might be going through a man's head.
But after an hour, she will say this:
"Should we go home already~?" That's the moment the man's dream is destroyed.
After the shock, he might think something petty like "I even spent $500 on this wine"
But insistence is forbidden.
Because insistent men are shameful.
I will not try to hold her back, but rather
I will escort her from Meguro, where the restaurant is, to Seijo, where her house is, by cab.
By the way, my house is in Azabu, so it's in the opposite direction,
but I will still take her home. It's a given thing to do as a man.
When we reach her home, I will open the window and say,
"Thank you for the enjoyable evening today"
to express gratitude. And then I will close the window,
and I will say to the driver, in a way she won't notice,
"Please return to Azabu"
Outside the window, she will be waving her hand to send me off.
And by the way, in this situation, the woman should be
waving her hand in front of her chest.
If she's waving vigorously, no matter how beautiful she is, her character is doubtful.
With that, I will return to my house in Azabu, shower and go to bed.
I will fall asleep while pleasantly remembering tidbits from our conversation that night.
This is a date.
But if marriage enters the picture, it's different.
Excuse me?
The woman will be coming to your house.
That is obvious, since she is the wife.
In that case, even before the buzz of the alcohol wears off,
the Cocker Spaniel had three puppies,
Maegawa-san's husband from around the corner got fired,
I will be forced to listen to meaningless banter like this endlessly.
I have no interest in the Cocker Spaniel, or the affairs of the Maegawa family.
If that happens, the evening's date is already spoilt.
Nothing remains but unpleasant feelings. That's why I think like this.
The house?
The savings?
Then the car? As expected, that car should be mine, right?
Eeeeee!
Well, at least I still have my life.
Did she send me any message?
Hmf, no way she would huh?
Is she okay?
After getting married and living with a husband for 3 years,
taking away the house, savings, car, everything, it's not normal!
But well, I'll hold back. At least it's over.
At last I can sleep in peace.
Nothing is over yet.
It's not over?
This is just the beginning.
Yuki-san. Please go out with me with the prospect of marriage in mind.
Does that mean...? Yes.
But it hasn't been long since we began dating.
The length of time is irrelevant. What's important is the depth of our love.
So.. So?
Why is your family here for your proposal?
Hahahahaha.
But if we get married, my family will be Yuki-san's family. That's the kind of thing marriage is, you know.
Ah well, even so, this kind of proposal like a life game in the car is a bit...
Yuki-san, let's become a good family!
Yes yes, we'll be living together after all.
Is it time for dinner yet?
Eh? What did you say just now? "Is it time for dinner yet?"
Not you, grandpa.
Hm? We'll live together? Does that mean, possibly, in the same house?
A family lives together. Isn't that a given?
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, a warm handmade meal every day, I'm looking forward to it!!
It will help me so much that you'll do the cleaning.
Wait a minute!
Rather than a wife, isn't that rather like a house maid...?
But, a housewife is like that, right?
What about my dream? Of course, I will support it.
If you use your time left over from married life, I won't oppose it. Left over time...
But the family is the biggest priority right?
After getting married, you'll be busy with house work,
and after having children, it will probably be a lot of work to raise them.
I'm sorry!
If marriage is going to be like this, then... Then...
I don't mind being single my entire life!
Ah... Yuki-san!
Yuki-san. Yuki-san!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
That's why I think like this.
A woman is a being you send off home,
not a being you live your life together with.
Having to live together with someone is nothing but punishment to me.
That's why I don't need marriage.
It's a limited item, one of only 30 pairs in the world. How does that feel?
Fufu. It's perfect. - Thank you.
How much is it? - It's a bit expensive.
$7000. - Eh?
Isn't it okay with $7000?
Ah~ I feel cured.
I feel the effects of the massage all the way to my heart.
How do you say it...
Because the lady herself is a gentle and beautiful woman, it's transmitted by her fingertips.
You're always so skillful. - It's true.
Ah.. Happiness.
Hm? Hm..
President. The script should have come in today, right?
What are you going to do about it?
Takakura-sensei sounded in pain over the phone.
There's nothing we can do about it being delayed.
But that can't be an excuse!
But in reality, it's not even written yet.
President. The film distribution company says they'll give a budget of 8 million yen for this project.
The condition of the other party is that the famous Takakura Yuuji
will be writing the script.
Without the script, the project won't be approved. Is that okay?
If it goes on like this we won't be able to accept any more offers.
If we can't take on any more orders, the company will be crushed!
It's okay as long as we make it to the deadline in 5 days.
Got it? This time the project itself is a magnificent thing.
Even if we don't have the script at that time, I will persuade them. - What are you saying?
Coming up with the script is the condition!
We won't make the deadline at this rate!
Shouldn't we be searching for another scriptwriter?
This scenario can't be written by anyone except Takakura Yuuji.
Get a hold of yourself! Do you want the company to fall apart?
Listen. No matter what a great writer he is, if he can't make it in time, there's no point!
He will make it. He's taking until the last moment to create a really great work.
Being fussy like that and getting overly picky, that's why we're in the red all the time!
I'm not following your method of doing things anymore!
I understand. If that's the case, then we can just quit.
What?!
I'm saying this because I'm sincerely worried about the company!
Yeah. Let's stop this conversation now.
President! - Good work.
Good work. - Good work.
Good work.
Well well, aren't they violent, the president and manager?
The angry manager is also handsome~!
Let's go with someone other than Takakura-sensei, aniki~ (T/N: aniki means older brother)
Didn't we promise to keep work talk at the company?
Ah~ I was in a good mood from drinking champagne..
Put the clothes you take off in your room, not on the sofa.
Ah, how was it, the marriage interview? - It's not a marriage interview.
But didn't you meet her through aunt Akiko?
It's basically a marriage interview. So how was it? Was she cute?
It's not a problem of appearance. When I don't have the slightest intention of getting married,
meeting a woman trying to get married is the problem.
But we can't have her saying things like she'll sell the company. Besides, isn't that serious?
What year is that? - Huh?
Wine. What year is that? - Hm well 1974.
Huh? Did I do something wrong? - Get out.
Eh? No. But. Look, I was -
kicked out of my house and now I'm a homeless person.
Did I make you mad? Then I'll go have a drink outside.
You cheer up okay? Okay? Okay? Okay.
Ahhh jeez.
The god of movies. The god of scripts.
Grandpa. Grandma. Father. Ancestors.
I'm begging you for Haruno Yuki. Please take care of Haruno Yuki.
Chosen work. Haruno Yuki. Haruno Yuki. Haruno...
Ahhhhhh.
I'm dead.
Ah.. I'm finished.
Stop, stop. Have to stop the sigh.
Smile, smile, smile.
But I was so confident.
If it was going to turn out like this, I should have accepted the proposal.
Then why don't you go back to him? - I was kidding.
You'll become a marriage refugee at this rate.
Hold on a sec, don't say scary stuff like that.
But it's rare these days isn't it? To turn down being a housewife.
Eh? - Everyone wants to be a housewife. They only work if they need more money.
Saori-chan, your order. - Oh, okaay.
No no, that's because they've already passed the line of becoming a housewife.
Ah~ The number of men making such demands are surprisingly high.
Yup. - It's like they're trying to
keep a house maid for free, right? - Yup.
Did you know? If you calculate the annual salary of how much a
housewife would receive as wages for her work, it makes 1.28 million yen. - 1.28 million?!
It's more than what a normal husband makes right? I want to be paid that.
Yeah.. I want it. Ah...
Stop stop. Must not sigh.
Smile, smile, smile.
Anyway, how are you going to live with that amount?
Hm? Saori, don't have any openings? For part-time work.
I wonder... It will be difficult.
Ah... I'm finished.
Itadakimasu.
Excuse me. Where do you have bath towels?
They're in the cupboard, so help yourself.
It looks delicious.
Susumu.
Oh. Good morning. - Don't bring in strangers.
You're still going through a divorce right?
The consolation money will increase if you keep doing this.
Sorry aniki, my bad my bad. I won't do it anymore.
I'm tired of hearing this. Every day every day another girl.
I don't mean to bring them in, but somehow, it ends up like this.
Today I'll be going to the company in the afternoon. - Where are you going?
Hell.
This is my nephew, Hoshino Mamoru, 39 years old.
He's the president of my film production company, Kinema Etoile.
This is Genouzono Reiko-san. She's 6 years younger than Mamoru.
She's the daughter of the distribution company Japan Movies's president.
I am Genouzono Reiko.
That being said, I will take my leave.
You two take your time.
Excuse me. - Yes?
Does Mamoru-san like astrology?
No. - I'm in the process of learning about it.
I tried to predict our compatibility according to it,
it was high enough for only one person match out of ten thousand.
You don't believe me do you? It's true!
In four pillar astrology, star signs, numerology, even animal signs,
our compatibility is perfect.
This is torture. It shows that she can go on forever about this kind of meaningless talk.
Even our meeting today is foretold in astrology. The place too.
Do you understand, Mamoru?
A woman is a being who can
talk about inconsequential things forever
to her husband who came back home after work.
If your wife
begins talking about meaningless things, then,
count the stations of the Yamanote line in your head. (T/N: it's a major subway line in Tokyo)
Tokyo. Yurakucho. Shinbashi.
And when you get to terminal stations,
Alternatingly say "I see" and "Indeed" in a pleasant manner.
I see. Hamamatsucho. Tamachi. Shinagawa.
Indeed. - If you keep doing this,
by the time you return to Tokyo station, your wife should have completed her story.
I see.
Have a good day.
Do you have some sort of complaint?
Aunt Akiko. To save face for you, I keep going to these meetings,
but I actually have no intention to get married.
If I lived together with a girl like that who talks on and on, my head will become weird!
I avoided it this time thanks to the Yamanote line though.
What are you talking about? You're 39 and unmarried,
I'm worried about you -
Aunt. That kind of thing is none of your business.
Understand? In this day and age it's a very popular choice not to get married.
In a study, 45% of single males in their 30s responded that they never wanted to get married for their entire lives.
Being on my own is more comfortable. I don't want intrusion.
Single men who think like this are increasing.
I support this view wholeheartedly.
I can cook meals fairly well,
and the housekeeper takes care of cleaning.
I have enough savings to live in a senior community in my old age.
I don't see any reason to get married. Aunt. It's a nuisance.
If I have to get married I would rather commit seppuku. (T/N: ritualistic suicide by cutting your stomach)
Ara. Is it okay for you to use such a manner of speech to me, the owner of Kinema Etoile?
If Takakura Yuuji-sensei's project doesn't go through, I will really sell it. The company.
I'm confident in getting the project.
But aunt. Selling the company just because it didn't go through..
It's the company inherited from my father and finally put back on the right track again.
Right track? You just keep investing in projects,
in reality you're still in the red right?
Isn't it that you're not suitable for management?
What's going to happen to the Hoshino family, hm, Hoshino family?
If you don't get married and have children as the eldest son,
the blood of Hoshino corporation will die out.
Aunt. That was in the past, it's not a corporation anymore.
What are you saying? Are you saying that you will be the last of our family tree that lasted for tens of generations?
It's not a joke. I will not permit such a thing.
It's not a matter of you allowing it or not!
Then let's do it like this, Mamoru.
This time, I'll let go of selling the company.
In exchange, if the project doesn't go through?
If it doesn't? - Seppuku.
Seppuku? - You will marry Genouzono Reiko.
Yuki you're really lucky. Just when someone quit their
part time work. - Thanks. It's all thanks to Saori.
I'll work hard so that I won't trouble you.
Thanks. The place we're going now is Monday-Friday, every day. - Every day? How rich.
They're always out so we don't have to look out too much.
Woooow, huge!
This house is amazing.
Ah! Leica!
Don't touch needless things. - Yes.
Ah. Wow amazing, this is properly moisture proof shelved.
Hee, amazing, so many books too! Ha ha!
Ah, this person is a movie fanboy. Even has "Ajisai".
Hey, what kind of person lives in this house?
Hm? Normal guy, using polite speech.
Hey, let's get started cleaning! - Okay.
Then where should I store the DVDs?
Down over there, the lowest one. - Okay.
On the left. - The left on the bottom...
He has good taste.
Okay. "Ajisai". "A". Should go to "A".
How was it? The marriage interview. Did you talk about the company with aunt?
It turned out so that I will have to seppuku if we don't get this deal.
Seppuku? - Marriage with Genouzono Reiko.
Wow. Seppuku indeed.
Don't worry. I will definitely get this project. - But it's not okay.
We don't even have a script. We have to properly explain and get an extension on the deadline.
Let's go frankly talk about it.
How is the book coming along? Is it going well?
About that.. - Don't worry about it.
It's almost complete. - Is that so.
Sensei hasn't written in over 10 years after all...
Is he still able to do it?
Even though Takakura-sensei is writing it, it's taking some time but, the contents are turning out magnificent.
Is that so.
Well, if I may be frank, we don't really care about content.
As long as it has his name.
Rather than the work or author itself, it's a matter of whether the product will sell or not.
That's the most important thing.
Even if it's terrible, the writer is Takakura Yuuji.
We can still use his name to lure customers.
Be that as it may, next year's release line-up is passing.
Everyone is expecting sensei's script and waiting for Kinema Etoile.
So please don't be late. Ha ha ha ha.
Umm.. What if, we're late...?
Does it look like you'll be late? - No.
That's not the case.
Does it look like you'll be late? - No, we'll be fine.
Then there's no need to worry. Ha ha ha ha.
Weren't you going to honestly explain the situation?
Aniki. Let's have someone write it. Anyone is fine.
And for now let's just submit it under Takakura-sensei's name.
It's okay if we just replace it later. - I can't do such a rude thing.
I believe in Takakura-sensei.
Aniki. Think about it more seriously.
I'm always serious.
Do whatever you want.
Hello? Takakura-sensei. It's Hoshino Mamoru from Kinema Etoile.
Ah. Mamoru-chan.
How is the script coming along?
It's fine, it's fine, I'll make it in time for sure.
I can't make trouble for my benefactor's son, can I?
It will turn out great. Trust me.
Is that so. I'm relieved to hear that.
The trust between you and I is as strong as a riverside tree.
I said so right? Understand?
Yes. I'm counting on you.
What's up with this?
It's all wrong.
Hello? - Tomorrow at 7pm
I made reservations in Bice.
Bice? - Go together with Reiko-san.
Aunt. This is unfair.
Before the project deadline -
Hmmmmmm.
Are you alone? - Yes.
I got a bottle of delicious wine,
it doesn't seem like I can finish it on my own. Would you help me?
Is that what you always say to hit on women?
No way. It's just tonight.
And besides, I only called out because it was you.
Master. A glass.
To our meeting.
Ahahah! You're not alone at all!
What are you doing drinking this?
It's my wine. Give it back.
Understand? Don't talk with me.
Jeez what a rude woman. - What are you talking about?
Check!
You seem to be having fun. - Hm. I like this house.
Ah, your tastes seem to match. - You think so too?
If it's a person with interests like these, even marriage could be fun.
Eh? He might be domineering like that previous guy. It even looks like he's high maintenance.
Eh, let me dream a little bit.
Huh? After I organized it too.
"Sa" "Ta" "So"
Could this be...?
Ah!! I'm so sorry!!
I didn't let you know we were here!
Ah, are you the person who lives here?
I'm not. - Ah, uhm,
is it alright for us to bother you today?
It's alright, I will shower and leave soon.
Ah..
Ah, excuse me.
I wanted to ask you about something.
Hey Yuki, it's rude!
Um, what kind of person lives in this house?
Let's see. He has a pretty good face,
he's gentlemanly, and can hold an interesting conversation.
But he's quite a playboy though. - Eh?
He's a yamato no orochi. - Yamato no orochi? (T/N: japanese myth, 8 tailed serpent)
He always has about 8 girl friends,
and bring a woman here every day.
Apparently.
I'm home.
What? Someone's funeral? - Yeah.
Who?
Me. - Eh?
I'm going to have dinner with Genouzono Reiko after this.
Dinner? Did you give up on the plan?
In other words, seppuku. - No, this is just an accident.
I just fell in aunt's trap, I'm not getting ready for suicide. - Aniki.
But I have a weapon.
I will go on the Yamanote line. - He left..
And then, in that house...
...three Cocker Spanield puppies... - Tokyo, Yurakucho, Shinbashi
I see. - ...And then, in that house...
Hamamatsucho, Tamachi, Shinagawa Indeed.
...It's difficult right? Walking them... - Osaki, Gotanda, Meguro
...The wife was getting angry.. - Ebisu, Shibuya
I see. - Harajuku, Yoyogi, Shinjuku
...Don't you think it's terrible?... Indeed.
Shin-okubo, Takanadobaba, Mejiro, Ikebukuro
I see. - ...If I had a dog...
Otsuka, Sugamo, Komagome, Tabata - ...You have to raise them responsibly...
Nishi-nippori, Nippori, Uguisudani, Ueno
Indeed. Okachimachi
...If I had a toy dog... - Akihabara, Kanda, Tokyo
I see. - ...Between large dogs, I like the Saluki...
What kind of talk is this?
Even after coming back to Tokyo it's still not done.
What should I do?
...How about a cat?... - I know.
Let's go backwards this time. Tokyo
Indeed. Kanda, Akihabara, Okachimachi, Ueno
I see. Uguisudani, Nippori, Nishi-nippori, Tabata
...What do you think about rabbits?... - Komagome, Sugamo, Otsuka, Ikebukuro
Indeed.
Ah, excuse me. - Be careful.
Have a good evening. See you~
That's not going to happen.
Hello? - Aniki. Takakura Yuuji has disappeared.
Excuse me, please wait here a minute.
Oh, aniki. I was thinking to help with the script,
so I called Takakura-sensei, but he wasn't answering my calls,
so I came directly to his house, but his room was completely dark.
He's my brother.
Aniki. It's really seppuku now.
Haruno Yuki.
Ha...
Complete failure.
Yuki. What happened? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
What? Since you're calling, I guess it failed again?
Yeah.. Failed again.
But you're writing a new one right?
Just try hard for the next time.
Yeah.
Mom, how's your leg? You were saying your knee hurts?
Ah it's okay now. It's okay.
Today the weather is good, I feel better.
The lady next door comes to help me too,
mom's really fine on her own.
I should come back home and help out.
The promise was for 5 years anyway.
I'm really okay though.
You should think about yourself first, not your mother.
Don't you want to be a scriptwriter?
It's okay either way. My dream is over.
Yuki..
Tomorrow, I'll come back home by bus.
There are rumors that Takakura-sensei has disappeared.
Is it true?
Is that before or after he finished the script?
That is.. - After.
Thank goodness. Then, the script..
We don't have it, anymore. - Anymore?
Isn't it that you never had it all along?
No, it's just now. There's no such thing.
This is troubling... - Yes, we're troubled.
The deadline is tomorrow.
So basically this project isn't going to happen?
We're searching for sensei by tracking his cell phone.
Please wait until the deadline.
If we find sensei, we'll be able to bring the script.
Please give us time until tomorrow.
I will definitely bring you Takakura Yuuji's script.
Will we find him before tomorrow?
Hello? Yes.
It's the detective agency, they've found Takakura-sensei.
Where is he? - Nagano.
Nagano? Hey, aniki!
You have to definitely bring the script.
Susumu. I'm staking my entire life on this.
I'll definitely come back alive. - Ah.
Please take me to Tokyo Station.
Aniki...
Yes, Akira-chan?
Yeah, there's lots going on. Yeah, Ebisu?
This is the last time, huh? - Yeah.
Thank you. I was saved thanks to you.
But you're still going back to Aomori? - Yeah.
When I called my mom,
she was saying "I'm okay" over and over again.
When she's like that, mom isn't actually okay.
I suddenly got worried.
And besides, even if I stay in Tokyo, life is nothing but pain.
As expected, even after putting out 16 scripts, none of them made it.
I understood well that I have no talent.
That's not true. It's just that your luck was a bit bad.
They say luck is part of skill too. - Yuki..
The closed door. - Door?
That door will never open in front of me.
What's wrong? - Hmm, I liked this apartment..
The guy living here was a "yamata no orochi" though.
Ha ha ha ha.
Alright then. Since it's the last time, I'll make it sparkle.
Hoshino Mamoru?
Yamata no orochi..? Eh?
What happened?
It was the movie producer Hoshino Mamoru??
Eh, wait, Yuki, where are you going?
Where did you go?
What is that?
It might open after all. - What?
The door.
<To Hoshino Mamoru-sama, please take a look Haruno Yuki>
Takakura-sensei. It's Hoshino Mamoru from Kinema Etoile.
Takakura-sensei, are you there?
You're there right? Takakura-sensei.
~~The clear skies~~
Sensei!
Sensei! Sensei!
Let go. - I won't let go.
Let go! - Sensei, the script.
Give me the script. The script, sensei. - I said let go!
I won't let go. - Let me go!
Tomorrow's the deadline!
If I don't have it tomorrow, the project will fall apart!
I don't care. It has nothing to do with me.
Sensei. I waited for you.
For you to come up with a magnificent script.
Magnificent script?
Don't say things like sleep talk.
At least! At least give me as much as you've finished.
With that I can convice the other side.
There's no such thing. - Eh?
Empty pages. There's nothing. - Eeeh?
Zero! Zero zero zero!
In the first place, you shouldn't believe the things I say.
Besides, I haven't been writing for 10 years.
There's no way I can make deadlines or whatnot!
Did you contact me about that even once? Did you make any demands?
That's why I won't write.
"I can't give trouble to my benefactor's son"
"The trust between us is as strong as a riverside tree"
Don't believe such obvious lies!
Only an idiot will believe that! You huge fool!
Unlike your father,
you have no eye for projects or people. Idiot!
What "producer"? As if you're great.
You're just leeching off of your father's fame!
"If the project doesn't go through... Seppuku"
"You will marry Genouzono Reiko"
If we think about the little woof that's being taken along...
One day we can see Mamoru-san's house too right...
For a cat, it should be a Scottish Fold.. Mamoru-san and my compatibility...
Rabbits are lonely... Every year to Taiwan...
Our compatibility is perfect.
Shinbashi.
Hamamatsucho.
Tamachi.
Shinagawa. I see.
Osaki.
Gotanda.
Meguro.
Ebisu.
Shibuya.
Indeed.
Harajuku. Yoyogi. Shinjuku.
I see.
Shin-okubo. Takadanobaba.
Mejiro.
Ikebukuro.
Indeed.
Otsuka. Sugamo.
Komagome.
Komagome...
Aniki? How was it? The script?
Tabata. Nishi-nippori. - Aniki. What happened? Aniki?
Nippori.
Uguisudani.
Ueno.
Indeed.
Aniki? Aniki? - Okachimachi.
It's hopeless huh? I guess it couldn't be so easy.
Stop stop. Must not sigh.
Smile, smile, smile.
Hey, aniki.
I actually think marriage is a magnificent thing.
Having a person next to you who will support you,
it's a wonderful thing.
Which neighbors are doing what,
heart-warming stories like the Cocker Spaniel having 3 puppies,
my wife always told me about things like this.
Looking back now, foolish stories like that were part of a blissful daily life.
Having the same woman when you return home every day,
having the same type of meal, and same type of day.
That "same" kind of feeling...
Well.. Same..
How do I say it...
Same... Um...
Sorry. I lied.
Susumu. You were right.
When Takakura Yuuji extended the deadline,
we should have had someone else write it.
You reap what you saw. It's all on me.
Aniki. Let's make a new script.
There's no way we can just have that kind of thing done right now, is there?
The deadline is tomorrow!
It would be different if there was a complete script right in front of me right now,
but how can there be such a thing?
I was the stupid one for believing in Takakura Yuuji's riverside tree.
That's why I...
Good evening.
Excuse me, which one is the one going to Aomori?
...will seppuku.
Aniki.
Excuse me. Can you participate in our survey?
I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Oh, you're pretty. Please? Just write here.
Hm? It's a script.
Haruno Yuki. Who's that? Do you know her?
Excuse me.
There's a light coming out from your forehead.
Shall I look into it? (fortune-telling) - No, not needed.
Excuse me.
I want to pray for you for just one minute.
It's fine.
Thank you. - My ticket.
Here you go. - Thanks.
Well, how is it? - Be quiet!
Leaving for Aomori.
Bye bye. Tokyo.
Hello?
My name is Hoshino. - Ha?
Excuse me! Please stop!
I'm the president, Hoshino Mamoru.
Ah, I'm the manager, Hoshino Susumu.
I've read your script.
How was it?
It was terrible.
The composition is messed up. The story is ordinary.
Both the theme and the characters are too weak.
Even a film student could do much better than this.
This is my impression.
I love the movie "Ajisai".
After watching that movie, I wanted to be a scriptwriter.
I'm happy to have had the company that produced "Ajisai" read my script.
With this, I feel satisfied.
Thank you for your time.
However, the lines were good.
It's still just a draft but, the lines were good.
Will you let us submit this script
for next year's movie release project? - Eh?
I understand you staked your entire life on this script.
It will definitely not be handled lightly. - Is it okay?
We're the ones asking here.
Yes. If this script is okay, I'd be glad to.
Thank you. - I'm glad.
Then tomorrow I'll be submitting this.
By the way, there are two of you doing the housekeeping right?
Excuse me? - Which one of you organized my DVDs?
It was me. At first I organized them alphabetically,
I apologize for that. It was ordered by director, right?
Gillian Armstrong. James Ivory.
Bille August. Hal Ashby.
Richard Attenborough. Jean-Jacques Annaud.
And between those, it was ordered by production.
Quest for Fire. The Name of the Rose. The Bear. The Lover.
Seven Years in Tibet. Enemy at the Gates.
I'm sorry for not having noticed immediately.
Haruno Yuki-san. - Yes.
Would you like to work for our company?
I can't say if you can become a scriptwriter by working here.
But you will definitely learn a lot about movie scripts.
Rather than studying at home or school, you can learn a lot more by direct experience.
First, you can work as my assistant for a month as a contract employee.
But if you're not useful, your contract will end.
You can go back to being a housekeeper, or to the countryside.
How about it?
I will do it. I will work.
Then go have the work explained over there.
That's all for today. - Thank you so much!
Here you go. - Thank you.
Yuki-chan. - Yes.
Sorry for all the harsh things you had to hear.
Our president is a bit of a weirdo, forgive him okay?
I thought your script was really great.
Really? - Yeah.
Let's work hard from now on. - Yes.
Kawagoe-kun. - Yes, I'm here.
Kawagoe-kun's a line producer.
This is the new employee Haruno Yuki.
Explain the company procedures, oh and I want her to come to the set tomorrow,
so explain that too. - Got it.
Then, work hard. - Yes.
Then, come over here.
Do you have any experience on set?
No, it's my first time.
Ah, a newbie? How useless...
What on earth is the president thinking? Oh well, here.
This is for after 8 tomorrow morning so come in at 5.
5?? - See ya.
So useless..
Ah, sorry I've kept you waiting.
The previous meeting ran long. - No problem.
Rather, our side has made complications. - Well, I was worried.
Well, what happened?
Here it is. - That is?
Takakura-sensei's script. - Eh?
(It's Yuki's script, Takakura Yuuji is written as the author)
