I would rather seppuku than get married!
If Takakura-sensei's project falls through,
you will marry Genouzono Reiko.
Please return this script.
It was written by a novice writer named Haruno Yuki.
For rubbish such as this!
Would you take a look at it again?
I still want to improve it.
I'm thinking of asking Yuki-chan out for dinner.
Go right ahead.
Can I borrow Yuki-chan for a bit?
Yuki-chan, let's go. - But I guess my favorite one is "Ajisai".
Yuki, are you actually interested in the manager?
What are you saying, there's no such thing.
You should become the president.
You're better suited for the role of the business leader.
If we lose the contract with Nippon Eiga, the company can't go on.
Take responsibility, Mamoru. Propose to Reiko-san.
Hello? - I had some questions about your script,
which is why I'm calling.
Wouldn't it be better to decrease the lines?
It would probably already come across with the expressions.
No, but... - That hurt. Your head is too hard.
Yuki-chan. - Yes?
Do you have time after this? - Ah, I have work...
Ah, it's okay, it's okay. You should go. - Eh?
It's the president. Hello.
I found a good answer to yesterday's problem.
I'm sorry. I'm having a meal with Manager Hoshino right now.
Is that so. I'm sorry for getting in your way.
The president becomes completely unaware of his surroundings when he concentrates on something,
when he begins talking he won't stop. Really, the president's too weird.
That's what everyone says. Nobody understands it.
It's always aniki who's supporting the company.
In the end, I can't match aniki in anything.
Itadakimasu.
Mm. Delicious.
Susumu.
I'm sorry. I'm having a meal with Manager Hoshino right now.
Hey, where do you think the manager went with Yuki-san yesterday?
What? Ah, because it's the manager,
isn't it a lux hotel? - Lux hotel?
Luxury hotel. - Hotel.
Morning. - Good morning.
Good morning. - Morning.
Manager. The same clothes as yesterday...
Ah, I couldn't go home yesterday.
Eh? Is that so?
See, it's just like I said.
He definitely stayed over somewhere. As expected. - Eh...
Good morning. - Good morning.
See, see. It's different.
She's wearing different clothes from yesterday. - Nah, what are you saying?
Ah. You know, people who work on set,
always carry a change of clothes so that they can stay as long as needed.
It's definitely a sleep over. - Eh....
It's okay. - It's okay...
Susumu? - Just what
do you think you're doing? - Eh?
Why are you not keeping your promise, I wonder?
What promise? - Propose promise, propose.
Ah, that. It's not that I didn't keep my promise,
I tried to do it, but things beyond my control happened.
I think it was around here.
Rather than things happening, it was actually an accident.
I did have the intention to do it.
Oh my. It's not here. - What are you looking for?
The proposal.
Is there a proposal in this room?
Oh I see. Is aunt going to propose to Reiko-san?
That's such a wonderful idea.
Why didn't I think of it until now? - Oh my, not here.
"Oh my, not here"? What are you looking for?
Not here.
There are Aldens.
Stop leaving your fingerprints please!
Wait, aunt, wait. What are you doing without permission, stop it please.
Where did it go, I wonder?
Even if you look there, there's nothing.
I don't know what you're looking for, but it's not there, okay?
It's not there. Aunt. - Ah. Here it is.
Mamoru. Do you know what this is?
Something mother gave me. - Exactly.
This has been inherited by the lady of the Hoshino household for generations.
Eh? - The next person to hold it will be your wife.
Give this to Reiko-san.
We should get married, not for strangers, but for our own pleasure. - Wicker Staff
At last, tomorrow, for the latest work of Kinema Etoile,
"Cafeteria of the Sun", the pre-release private showing party will be held.
In this party, we will have many people get to know the movie, and,
hope that they will publicize our movie. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that,
the results of this party is the key to the success of this movie.
Please give care to handle the work that has been given to you properly.
Understood? - Yes.
On that note, it is a given for
the guests, and us, the publicity department of Nippon Eiga, but,
also, everyone in Kinema Etoile, since there is a dress code for the event,
please dress accordingly. - What is the dress code?
Black tie event. - Ah, tuxedo?
Everyone all good? Then that's all. - Yes.
Then let's go. - Yes.
Here's the timetable for the event day.
What should I do about the dress?
You don't have any? - Yes.
Then why don't you wait on command at the company?
Yes. The information we sent over the other day,
about the private showing and party, is there any update about the follow-up?
You still don't know the schedule? Is that so.
No, we have a seat confirmed for you, and we will be waiting to see you.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Good morning. Then, excuse me.
How is it? Are you making progress? - Ah, good morning.
No, it's hard to get a straight out confirmation.
Is that so. - If you don't do it more flashy,
there's no point. - Since there is no publicity budget,
you won't be able to recover. - But if there is no publicity,
they won't watch it. - Makimura-san from Nippon Eiga,
he doesn't seem to be very interested?
What Makimura-san is saying is correct in a way.
It may be that this work won't earn much money,
so you can't expect much from a business perspective.
But as for me, even if the work does bad in the box office,
I don't dislike any of the movies I've been involved with up to now.
That's why, for this "Cafeteria of the Sun" too,
I think it's a work that's precious even if it doesn't do well.
That's very nice. - You know, this work,
it was created thanks to the help of many volunteers.
Especially Takasago-san and Kunihara-san from the Japanese Agriculture Union,
they've helped us out a lot. If it wasn't for them,
I don't think this movie could have been completed.
I think that type of goodwill is priceless.
Of course, for a business to run, making a profit is important,
but if you think of everything in terms of money,
won't you lose the pure joy of creating something?
If that happens,
I feel like I would lose myself.
How about we invite them to the preview party?
Eh?
Wouldn't you want them to be among the first to see it?
The completed movie. - Sure. But do we have any available seats?
I will figure something out.
Thanks. Then I'll write their contact information,
give me a pen. - Ah.
Then, with that. - Yes. Thank you for your work.
Good work. - Good work.
Good work.
Manager.
Would you like to take me out for dinner today?
Okay. - Really? Yay!
Eh. What? - Dinner.
Ah...
Hey, hey, hey. I'm going to have dinner
with the manager! - Liar.
It's true! - What about me?
You're not invited. - Liar.
No, it's true.
It's like a dream, to be like this with the manager.
Excuse me a moment.
Hello? I'm sorry, I'm still in the middle of work right now.
Yes. Later.
Being with me is work?
Nah. It was an annoying phone call, so you know, just a little lie.
I'm sorry. It's actually my ex-wife's lawyer, who I'm still settling the divorce with right now.
Eh. Lawyer? Is the divorce bad enough that,
you have to go through lawyers? - It's not even on the same level as "bad".
Divorce is like, 100 times worse than
the energy you would spend climbing a mountain
that just goes on forever.
100 times more? But then,
why would you go into a marriage that would leave behind such bad feelings?
Looking back now, marriage was the peak of our happiness.
Before the marriage, we both saw each other's good points,
got excited over them building up,
but on the other side of marriage, you begin seeing the bad points.
Yeah. - "Thank you for helping" turns into
"Don't do anything unnecessary", and at the end, just tongue clicking.
Did your wife's personality change after getting married?
I don't know if I would say after marriage, but at the moment we began talking of divorce,
suddenly she turned into a different person. Hand over everything,
house, car, savings, consolation money. Salary I should have received.
Just how much does she plan on getting from me?
1 million 620 thousand dollars. - That's right. 1 million -
Plus $58. For this place.
Black tie. Black tie.
It has to be at least a cocktail dress, huh?
Cocktail dress? Something gorgeous?
Yeah. - I don't have that type of thing either.
Ah... what should I do?
You should ask for advice? - Eh? From who?
The manager. Isn't he your superior? - Eh?
What is up with that guy... - Manager.
Can you go home already? - Eh? What?
How about going to a hotel bar?
Well, if I had to choose between a hotel and a bar,
I'd rather go to a hotel. - Hello? What's up?
Umm... I was just thinking of asking you.. - Did something happen? What is it?
Umm, for tomorrow...
is it okay if I just wait for orders at the company?
What happened? Why? - Umm, that is...
What's up? - Umm...
Hurry up and say it. - Shh!
- What is it?
I don't have a dress to wear for the party.
What, that's it? Can you come to the company right now?
Yeah, an hour later. Yup.
Is there some sort of trouble?
Sorry, I have to go back to the office right away.
Hello?
Sorry about the sudden notice, but can you come to the company right now?
Yeah. Sorry 'bout it.
Yeah, and also, Hamu-tan isn't available right?
Good work. - Good work.
Yuki-chan, come here. - Yes.
Umm.
Choose the one you like. - No, but...
Take care of her. - Let's see what we can do.
It's good.
Let's see the next one.
Hmm.. a beautiful shade of blue. - Yeah.
Where's the next one? - Let's see.
Ah, this is great too! - This is good, what to do?
Hang on, I'm conflicted!!
Wait a minute. I have an idea.
Mmmm! - How is it?
This should be it, right?
Then, this for shoes. This for the bag.
This for the accesory?
It really suits you. - Thank you.
Yuki-chan. Is the completion announcement contact list done?
Yes. - Then, all of those, are a present.
No, that wasn't what I -
It's okay, it's okay, just take them.
Do your make-up well to fit the dress.
What are you doing?
I was waiting for you. Are the preparations complete?
Ah, we did all we can.
Called as many reporters as we could,
we'll have them write more, even if it's at least one line.
The goods are out there already, so from now on it's just up to publicity.
Don't say "goods". - Sorry, sorry, I meant "work".
The guests? - Keeping to the numbers,
many TV workers from variety and informational shows are invited.
High selling newspaper and magazine reporters are also invited, so it's perfect.
Susumu, I understand that you're working hard, but,
I don't think this is the type of work
where you would aggressively publicize it. - Eh?
A small scale screening should be shown, and then through the internet or by word-of-mouth,
it will gain a good reputation, and stay in the industry for a long time.
I think that this is the type of work that should have straightforward earning like that.
Why are you being so naive?
That way we'll never be able to make up for the production costs.
And? Did you have dinner with Haruno Yuki today?
No. It was Sumika-chan today.
What's up Aniki? Are you interested in Yuki-chan?
No. It's just that if you take her out every night,
the fixing of her "August's Bolero" will be delayed.
Is that really all? - What else is there?
Anyway, why are we talking outside? It's cold.
We promised not to talk about work at home, right?
Is there any need to go that far?
It really suits you. Then, all of those, are a present.
Huh? Where's Haruno?
Hm? Oh, she's late.
Eh? She needs to come already.
They're here, they're here!
Good morning. - Good morning.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
Hey. Manager too, let's hurry.
Yeah.
Umm, did I mess something up?
Is it no good after all?
Yuki-chan. Let's go. - Yes.
One hour left until the opening.
Today, first, we will be greeting guests in the reception, here.
And the hall for the showing is over there.
After the showing is over, the room for the party is there, so,
guide them as necessary.
With that, everyone, get to work.
We will work well.
Okay.
Ah...
The next person to hold it will be your wife.
Give this to Reiko-san.
Hahaha!
Which of them it is, I wonder. Hahaha!
Your lucky color for today is red!
Huh?
And then, your lucky item is...
a gold necklace!
And then, a hat.
You look great!
Darling, you forgot your bento.
Ah, manager. - Hm?
Dust. OK now.
Kawagoe-kun. - Yes.
I think it's great that there are many forms of love.
But, I'm not interested in that.
Eh? Manager? What do you mean? (T/N: If you didn't get it, he thinks Kawagoe is gay and in love with him)
Good work. - Good work.
So, how was it, with the manager? - Huh?
You slept with him, right? - Huh??
Didn't you go to a hotel? - No no no no, I didn't.
No. There is no such thing.
Eh, really? - Really.
Well didn't you say so yourself?
The manager is nice to everyone.
Think about it for a second. From the beginning,
there is no way that someone like the manager will consider someone like me a partner.
Then, even if you're asked out by the manager from now on, decline it.
Ha...
Stop, stop. Have to stop the sigh.
Smile, smile, smile.
Onodera-san. - Congratulations on your accomplishment.
Thank you.
Sensei, thank you for coming. Please come this way.
Haruno. - Yes.
It's Onodera Shusaku-san.
I'm a big fan of Onodera-sensei's scripts.
It's an honor to meet you. - Is that so. Thanks.
And you are? - My name is Haruno Yuki.
What a beautiful name.
Sensei. Let me introduce Kanbayashi-san from Ishiba Publishing.
Okay.
Hey, who are these two?
Manager Hoshino! - Ah, Chief Mizushima.
I brought along people from Touto Television.
Thank you for coming all the way here today.
Reception. - Your name is?
Takasago Kenichi. Kunihara Tomozu.
Well, thank you so much for the invitation today.
Hoshino. Touto TV people are a group of 10, okay?
10?
Um, excuse me. - Hm?
Touto TV has only 8 seats reserved.
What are you saying? - Eh? Are there no seats?
Ah, no. - I'm so sorry.
It is our mistake. - Ahaha.
Do you really have no seats? - Kawagoe-kun, Kawagoe-kun.
Yes. - Hold up a minute.
Immediately prepare extra seats. - Got it.
No, by extra seats, you mean something like a foldable chair, right?
2 hours in that type of this is...
I'm so sorry.
If that's the case, we can just sit in the extra seats.
No, no, that's not... - We will be very grateful if you could do that.
No, but. - Haruno!
Thank you. Kawagoe-kun, assist them to their seats.
Understood. This way, please.
Ah, please led the way. Let's go.
Chief Mizushima, I'm really so sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm really so sorry.
No, no. - It's okay, it's okay.
It's my mistake. - Haruno, a minute.
Excuse me.
What happened here? Why does Touto TV only have 8 seats?
I gave you the list for 10 people, right?
Um, because I wanted to call Takasago-san and Kunihara-san...
Takasago-san and Kunihara-san?
I heard that they helped a lot during filming from the president.
Is that an order from the president? - No, it was my decision.
Rather than leaving 10 seats open for Touto TV,
which we didn't even know would come or not,
I thought that giving 2 of the seats to them would be better.
This is the result of that thinking. - I'm sorry.
You don't understand
how important the media is for the movie, at all!
Just because you got 2 people like them to see the movie,
it cannot have an effect like the media publicity.
But letting people who helped us see the movie,
isn't that important too? And also, those people too,
they can spread word about the movie.
You don't understand doing business at all!
Besides, it isn't something you should have decided on your own to begin with.
It was such a good movie.
We're in your debt. It's all thanks to Takasago-san.
Ah, that's not true!
These dishes are the same ones that were shown
in the movie. - Ah, is that so?
What would you like? - Champagne, please.
Yes, champagne is okay, right? - Yes.
Please enjoy it. - Yes.
Haruno-san. I heard about what happened.
Sorry. It's because I said unnecessary things.
No, I'm the one at fault.
Can you forgive the manager?
There's nothing to forgive. - President Hoshino.
Excuse me.
Ha....
Stop, stop. Have to stop the sigh.
Smile, smile, smile.
Thank you for coming today. - Not at all.
Mamoru.
Don't make Reiko-san wait. - No, no.
Please give priority to your work, okay? I will wait until it ends.
Mamoru. That thing.
What is it, I wonder? I was told that,
Mamoru-san would be giving me something as a present today.
It's in the waiting room.
I will bring it now. Please wait a bit.
Ah, Mamoru-san~~!!
Hahaha. Hahaha!
Your lucky color for today is red!
Darling.
It's impossible.
Ah, president. - Take it.
Eh? What is it? - Just take it.
Eh. - Hide it!
Eh, wait. - Mamoru-san! Eh?
Hide?
Oh, I see. You're with Kinema Etoile too?
Yes. - In your company,
there seem to be a lot of cute girls. - Ah, saying cute...
That girl, what was her name?
Ah, Haruno Yuki.
Ah, she wants to be scriptwriter. It seems that she's a big fan of yours!
Oh, is that. Thanks.
Um, we heard from President Hoshino,
the one that invited us here,
it was you?
Inviting the likes of us to such a place,
was it really okay? - Of course.
You're our comrades that we created the movie together with.
Haruno-kun.
Please excuse me.
The movie was great. - Thank you.
Hey? - Hm?
Did you introduce Haruno Yuki to Onodera-san?
Oh, yeah, I did.
That guy has a rumor that he's a fast worker when it comes to women.
Is that so?! - Well, it's probably okay.
As expected, he can't do anything under these circumstances.
Huh?
Isn't this bad? - Ah, no.
Shouldn't he receive this much as a blessing?
Don't you have a good feeling? - I wonder...
What should I do...
Be careful.
Excuse me.
The script you sent to that new writers contest. Actually, I read it.
Eh? Really? - Yes.
The title was... What was it?
Is it "With me and with you"? - Ah, yes, that one.
Um, what did you think of it? - Hmm...
Oh, I know.
It so happens that the corrected script is in my room. Do you want to go see?
Is that so? I would definitely like to. - Then...
Kawagoe-kun. Do you know where Haruno Yuki is? - Oh, um, actually...
Ogata happened to introduce Haruno Yuki to Onodera-sensei.
How should I say, um, he even touched her. I was really worried too, but...
I think it should definitely be okay, but I...
Huh?
Go ahead. - I'll be coming in.
Good work. - Ah,
thank you.
After marrying with both sides in love,
I wonder why it ends up not going well.
It's inconvenient after all, for two people to be living together.
I ran away from that type of thing.
If it was me, I would definitely not do something
that the manager would find discomforting, though.
You're probably the best possible woman.
You finally noticed?
I wouldn't have requests or try to tie you down,
I could always remain the type of woman manager wants.
By the way, I don't see Yuki-chan. - Ah...
Um, well, actually, without being aware of the situation,
ended up introducing Haruno-san to Onodera-san.
I'll go search for her. - Ah, wait.
Excuse me. - Yes.
What's the room number for the scriptwriter Onodera Shusaku?
Ummm.
It's a matter of privacy, I cannot tell you.
I'm his son. Please tell me.
Please.
Well, drink this and relax.
Thank you. Um, the script?
Ah, I'll go bring it now. Wait for me, okay?
It's room number 601. - Thank you so much.
If you ruin Sensei's mood,
you won't be able to survive in this industry.
No, but I just came to hear his impression on my script.
You came to his room of your own free will,
do you think that type of excuse is going to work?
Go inside. - No, wait.
Onodera-san is inside, right? - He's not here.
Wait, what are you doing?
Open it! - Hey, wait!
I told you he's not here!
Haruno! Move aside!
You're annoying!
Let's go!
Yuki-chan, did you wait?
Hm? What happened?
President, how far are we going to go?
Excuse me.
I'm searching for Mamoru-san.
Over there.
Ah... It should be okay, right?
I'm sorry, for causing trouble.
It was stupid of me.
It's okay now, that you're safe. That horny geezer!
Ah, I'm tired. Ah, president!
Hm? - Your foot!
Ah, it's Takasago.
Thank you so much for inviting us today.
It's our pleasure. - The movie was very good!
Thank you. - We wanted to show it to everyone,
so we wanted to buy tickets, but, where can we buy them?
You can buy tickets as normal from the playing guide.
Well, we inquired with the playing guide,
they won't sell it. - They won't sell? There's no way.
They said they don't have enough tickets.
Not enough. Excuse me but, how many did you need?
For now, about 50,000?
50,000? What will you do with 50,000 tickets?
We're the members of the Japanese Agriculture Union North-Kantou branch,
just in our branch there is about 100 people. If you add them all, it makes about 50,000.
We wanted to show everyone the great role our vegetables played.
Thank you so much. I will arrange for it immediately.
Ah, that will be a great help. If you make movies again,
let us know. We will spread the word.
Thank you so much. - It's okay, it's okay.
Later, later.
Just because you got 2 people like them to see the movie,
it cannot have an effect like the media publicity.
But letting people who helped us see the movie,
isn't that important too?
I don't think this is the type of work where you would aggressively publicize it.
And also, those people too, they can spread word about the movie.
Through the internet or by word-of-mouth, it will gain a good reputation..
I now understand what you're trying to do.
It's not that you don't want to get married to Reiko-san.
You don't want to get married to anyone, right?
Basically, it's not a problem of the partner.
That's right. It's just like aunt is saying.
But I cannot allow that. Since you made a promise.
Then, if you will please. - Yes, good work.
Yuki-chan. - Ah, manager.
Um, I'm so sorry about today.
Um, I acted on my accord,
and created problems for everyone.
That's all fine.
I also got too worked up.
How was the party? Were you able to have a bit of fun?
Today was full of failures. The problem with the seats,
and then I was careless and followed Onodera-san,
which the president thankfully saved me from. Oh, nothing happened, though.
Since the president came to help.
The president stood his ground even though he was hit, isn't it amazing?
And then afterwards, we ran away together.
I haven't ran with all my might like that since I was a kid.
Somehow it suddenly became fun..
