Don't look...
Air...
You need air...
Where's the plug?
Stomach.
Sorry.
Don't look...
But...
You're... Fine now.
A little... while longer...
I'm off.
Going to get old.
You see, I'm going to get old.
Were you surprised?
Yeah.
But...
But I hear there are plenty of others like me.
Someone said that.
Me, too...
Really?
I'm not so different.
I see. But...
I guess you're right.
When I first met you, I sort of felt
that you were just like me.
A marv...
I hit the jackpot at Pachinko.
A marvelous... coincidence.
What?
Nothing.
So damned pretty.
There's Sirius and Procyon.
How did you get an Osaka accent?
An Osaka accent?
A movie. I saw a movie.
What was it called...
The other day... How did you feel?
The other day?
In the store.
When you breathed into me?
No...
When the air left your body.
Was it painful?
Yes.
It was painful.
Having a heart
was heartbreaking.
Misato's only virtue is that she's young.
They'll stop spoiling her soon.
She's just a part-time employee That's all.
That's right.
She's not going to last long anyway.
You don't need to worry about her.
But...
It'll be fine.
You know there's no one that can take your place.
Really?
7:18 PM, the 9th.
He said, "My pension's gone. You stole it, didn't you."
He just kept accusing me over and over,
and I just got so mad...
I'm sorry.
No, no, that happened in Osaka.
The suspect confessed and has been arrested.
Don't worry.
It has nothing to do with you.
Nothing?
Nothing at all.
I've got work I can't visit until spring.
Listen, did you come here while I was out?
I told you not to clean up my stuff.
Did you throw it out?
Well, it's not that important.
Why don't you give them to your neighbors?
How strange.
Your sister's having her second baby next year.
You don't have to grow apples with us,
but it's time you come home.
Can't you remember how to take orders? You've worked here for years now.
It's fine with me if you want to quit.
There's lots of guys waiting to take your place.
What's so funny. It's revolting when you smile.
Sorry.
Movies for Crying
Excuse me.
Hello.
How can I help?
This one.
Thank you for your business.
Did you guys already do it?
You did it with Junichi, right?
You don't have to hide it. You're seeing him, right?
No.
Is that your boyfriend?
I saw you in the park.
You were with him.
I bet Junichi doesn't know about that guy.
You do this with anybody.
Girls these days...
Harue...
Hey, touch me. Here.
Hey, touch me...
Here...
Harue.
I am an air doll.
A substitute for handling sexual desire.
I am...
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Nozomi.
Nozomi...
How is it?
Nozomi...
The white star of the first magnitude, Procyon.
The triangle linking those 3 stars
is called The Winter Triangle.
Got that?
No, I'll get wet.
I have to pee.
What?
Nozomi?
You bought her a cake. Is it her birthday?
No...
I got one for you, too. On the day I welcomed you here.
I don't know... I don't remember that.
I really did.
I took a picture.
I...
I found a heart.
A heart?
Yes, a heart.
Why?
I don't know.
Tell me, what do you like about me?
What do I like?
You don't know, do you?
Even the name, Nozomi, is your old girlfriend's name.
You read my blog?
I'm just a substitute for her.
But...
I mean...
Sure, at first, I was lonely without her.
But now, it's different.
No, what am I saying...
Why me?
Why?
It doesn't have to be me, right?
Right?
The picture...
Listen, will you do me a favor?
Can you go back to being the old doll?
The old doll?
Yeah, the normal, plain old doll.
Can't you?
You wish I hadn't found a heart?
Yeah.
It's just annoying.
This stuff annoys me, which is why.
I chose you in the first place.
I'm annoying...
What a mean thing to say.
That's not what I mean, it's not.
You're not annoying, it's humans who are.
Nozomi!
Thank you.
I hate dogs.
They get old so fast,
and die before you know it.
Having a dog just makes you lonely.
Is this you?
Yes.
I used to be a substitute high school teacher.
A substitute?
That's right.
I was always an empty substitute.
Were you lonely?
I wonder...
I can't remember anymore.
Do you mind
touching me?
That feels so good.
Me, too... See?
They always say people with cold hands
have warm hearts.
Maybe it's just a superstition...
Welcome home.
I'm home.
I made you, but I don't know the answer.
But I doubt even God knows
why the humans he made have hearts.
Do you wish you'd never found a heart?
I don't know, but...
It hurts.
They all started out the same,
but by the time they come back here,
you can tell from their faces whether they've been loved.
I think that must mean they all have hearts, too.
What will happen to them?
Once a year, in spring, I throw them all away.
Unfortunately, they're "Not burnable garbage."
Not burnable garbage.
After all, once we die, we're "Burnable garbage."
It's not such a big difference.
Burnable garbage.
Can you tell me one thing?
Was everything you saw in this world sad?
Was there something, anything, that was beautiful?
I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you for having me.
No, thank you.
Off you go.
I'm off.
I don't mind if I'm a substitute for someone else.
You're not a substitute for anyone.
I'll do anything for you.
That's what I was born for.
Whatever you want.
Really?
Yes.
I can do
whatever I want?
Yes, whatever you want.
I couldn't ask anyone else,
but...
With you...
Something only I can do?
Yes.
What is it?
I want to let your air out.
Let my air out?
Yes.
But...
Don't worry.
I'll breathe into you like before.
But...
Why?
Sure, do whatever you want.
Where's your plug?
I'll fill you with my breath.
Just like you did for me.
I couldn't exhale
my breath into Junichi.
You alone?
You are alone.
What a bitch.
I
found
a heart.
Did you see the news?
They found his body in the trash.
Just across the river.
Let's trade.
Moe, don't touch the garbage.
OK.
Off you go.
I'm off.
Mommy.
Hey!
Moe! Your gym clothes!
Beautiful.
