Kawana-san.
Won't you run a restaurant with me here?
Kawana-san!
Kyoko.
Won't you run a restaurant with me here?
Haiji-san.
Won't you run a restaurant with me here?
Nitta-san.
Won't you run a restaurant with me here?
It's morning.
It's here.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Shocking Resignation! Apology in the Nude President Ameki Taro Humiliated His Female Employee
Like Dining Service The truth revealed only to us by the sexual harassment victim
Outrageous sexual harassment of a spoiled president!
NOTICE OF CLOSURE
- Good morning, Paaka-chan. - Good morning.
Aw, come on.
Who is it? Who ate my ice cream?
If you fess up now, I'll forgive you.
It's me.
She touched my hair with the hands that touched nukazuke (smelly rice bran used for pickles).
- You said you'd forgive me. - That depends on the person.
- Who would you forgive then? - Anyone but you.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Give me back my ice cream. - Oh, ice cream, ice cream.
I ate Nitta-san's ice cream last night.
I was falsely accused and my hair got pickled in nukazuke.
Let's get to work.
Haiji-san, the zucchinis please.
Thanks.
I'm going to the restroom.
Oh, I guess we haven't told you. When you go to the restroom,
please say "I'm taking a short break."
Number two is called mega hit.
- Mega hit. - And when...
I'm taking a short break!
When that problem insect appears,
please say a rainbow has appeared.
I got a letter from Satsuki.
That's the party we had the other day.
"When we settle down, we'll come eat your delicious food again."
"At the most awesome restaurant. With appreciation. Takamura Satsuki"
She says she's staying at Takamura-san's parents' home until the media settles down.
We'll come eat your delicious food again.
It's a nice picture, isn't it?
Shall we all take one too?
There's no particular reason.
Yeah, why not? Let's take it.
- Yes, let's. - Since we have time too.
Ready? Everyone get closer. Closer, closer.
Looking good, looking good.
Did someone sniffle just now?
Who's the first to do the penalty game?
Who? Who?
Did someone sniffle again?
Smile, smile, smile.
Welcome to our restaurant. This way please.
Chef, here's cilantro.
Thank you for waiting. Here's your pot-au-feu.
- Thank you. - That was the cup game, right?
- Yes. - I used to play that too.
- Shall we do it together? - Sure.
I'll take these away.
Cheers!
Mochida-san's planning to surprise his girlfriend he always brings here
by asking her to marry him.
Are people happy to be surprised?
He said he's getting transferred to the States
and today's his last chance.
Let's root for him.
What's wrong?
A classmate from college is here.
She's an annoying girl who likes to flaunt the fact that
she's a Todai graduate every chance she gets.
Oh, really?
Hiromu's first love is here as a customer.
- Please give him some advice. - Ad-ad...a...
Here. Why don't you write a love letter with this?
I'm sorry, Tanaka-san.
Here I am, just drinking 5 glasses of water when you're busy.
No, no, it's okay.
I think the train's probably running late.
I've been trying to call her, but...
Here's your order. Duck confit and...
Who would've thought you'd be working as a waitress at Omotesando.
Can I get you anything else?
Why aren't you working at Kasumigaseki (location of most cabinet offices) when you're a Todai graduate?
Did you get off too soon on the Chiyoda Line?
Go give it to her.
I got a marriage proposal for the first time in my life.
Please marry me. Hiromu
Look. Look.
Hiromu, you have to think very carefully about marriage.
I'm sorry. All I've had is 12 glasses of water.
- That's okay. - I'm sorry.
I wonder why she isn't here?
Ladies and gentlemen. Please take a look. A rainbow has appeared.
Where? Where? Where? Where? Where is it?
A rainbow appeared. Rainbow, rainbow.
Where? Where it it? Where... Where's the rainbow?
It's beautiful.
Oh, pretty.
Hiromu-kun, bye bye.
Mio-chan.
I, the GP, will go.
- Nitta-san, are you all right? - Go, GP.
- Hang in there, GP. - Is it there?
I got it!
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm glad I got off at Omotesando.
I have pride in this job.
Please don't worry about the time and stay as long as you like.
I have a flight to catch. I'll have to give up.
Thank you.
I'm taking him home.
See you again, Hiromu-kun.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
Hello. This is Bistro Fou.
I'm terribly sorry.
We're not taking any reservation after today.
Yes. I'm sorry. Good bye.
I brought you guys food.
- Are you bored? - As you know, I'm unemployed.
Hey, you're too nervous.
I'm terribly sorry for what happened that day!
Maybe you'd better leave.
Come on in.
This is good.
You can make such good food but you don't have a job, huh?
Beating up the owner isn't a good thing, right?
Leave me alone. Just shut up and eat.
Chika-chan wants to know,
"How do you get the texture to be like this?"
I put meringue in it.
What about omelette?
Come to the kitchen. Let's see whose is better.
- She's going. - Go, Chika-chan!
Monji-san, Monji-san.
Monji-san. M-Monji-san. Go, Monji-san.
- Chika-chan, let's go. - Monji-san, go, go!
Shut up!
He doesn't appear to be a bad person.
He's not a bad kid.
But like me, he's just a little dumb.
But you know, some dumb men can be cured with the right training.
Am I going to be the judge?
No, no way. That's way too much pressure.
Oh, seriously. Why don't you eat each other's then?
This tastes like crap.
You two have such a warped personality.
Let us have a taste too.
Hey, Monji. I wouldn't mind hiring you.
- As Chika-chan's assistant. - What? Please don't
add more aggressive people to our kitchen.
Oh, uh... I'll do that.
Then if you can take these.
Oh, sure.
Oh, then...I'll go wash them over there.
Ah... Thank you.
Sorry. Thanks.
Please act like you normally do.
I don't have that feeling towards you anymore.
I no longer have the feeling I had
before that day or after that day.
Now, I just think of you as
someone who's about the same age as me and
spend every day washing dishes like me.
I can't casually say things like hang in there
to someone I like romantically, but
I can say that to you without a problem. That's how I feel.
Hang in there.
Hoshino-san, where are you from originally?
I'm from Yamagata.
- It doesn't slip out, huh? Yamagata dialect. - Ah...
I get laughed at if I speak it here.
You know, I once had a goat on my head. (speaking in Yamagata dialect)
- Pardon me? - I just said
I once had a goat on my head.
I'm more curious about the content than the dialect.
Goats are amazing.
Their hooves are split into two and they can stand where there's no foothold.
I like mountain climbing, but goats like mountains too.
Those guys go to impossible places without a problem.
They like elevated places and they don't look back.
Once, when I went up the mountain, there was a goat.
When I climbed a tree, he climbed it too.
When I reached the top, he climbed on my head.
I lost, I thought.
Yes?
Oh, nothing.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Seriously though. Goats are seriously amazing.
I truly respect goats and Monji-san.
You'd better not say that to Monji-san.
- But really, Monji-san is amazing. - Then
why don't you put Monji-san on your head too?
If I put Monji-san on my head, I'll need an open ceiling.
Oh, yeah.
So? What's the scoop on the spoon?
We'll be downstairs for a while.
Haiji-san has to do the penalty game.
Ah, the penalty game.
Just when winter's finally about to end, huh?
Just when spring's around the corner, huh?
Isn't there anything you can do about it anymore?
- There wasn't. - Why? For just one spoon.
At first, it was just the spoon.
But they started getting complaints from the same person every day.
Like about the customers coming in and out.
No one else is saying anything, right?
But if one person complains, the police will be here.
You put up a safety net too.
We did all kinds of things.
We took all kinds of measures.
The building owner understands.
But nothing worked.
Is it decided then?
Today, right now...
You know Date-san, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
Date-san is intervening on our behalf and
talking to the other party.
So something might be worked out?
Well, it would take a miracle to make it work out, so
we're all trying not to think about it.
We're all prepared for the worst.
If things don't work out, today is the last day of our restaurant.
Who would've thought both our restaurants would close down.
Symphonic too.
Good thing you didn't work at our restaurant.
I would've loved to. I made all the preparations for that restaurant, you know.
I would've liked to work at Bistro Fou too.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Let's run a restaurant together.
I'll be the chef and you set up the restaurant.
Monji-kun, you always say the weirdest things like that.
- Am I weird? - I'd just as soon go to the beach...
Beach?
It would be nice if you could teach our chef how to make an omelette.
It looks like she admires you.
If I teach her, will you go to the beach?
No.
Nitta-san. There's no more squid.
I'll thaw some out.
Hey, Chef. That frying pan's no good.
I'll give you mine.
- Are you serious? - Let's go steal it.
Here.
Yumiko. Where are you now?
Hello?
What are you going to do about Shutaro? Hello?
Papa.
Don't be like Papa, okay?
What's sexual harassment?
The Sexual Harassment of a Tyrannical President who made the Pretty Officer Worker Take Off Her Clothes!
All the people reading this junk are having fun
giving me a hard time by saying things like die.
It's a disgusting world.
They framed me using dirty tricks.
Arrogance of the Second-Generation President
My dad's never done anything for me.
Crap.
Sorry, sorry.
You feel sorry for Papa, don't you?
Shutaro.
You take revenge for me someday.
You take revenge on this disgusting world, okay? Shutaro.
Don't I get to go to elementary school anymore?
Who told you that?
Was it Mama?
Is Mama coming home?
Let's go see Mama.
Just a minute.
I'll go take a look outside, so you just wait here.
Please go back first.
I can't do anything for you.
So instead,
I'm going to teach you
some things that I learned.
There are three things.
If you're kind to others, you can be kind to yourself too.
If you understand others, you can understand yourself too.
If you like seeing others smile, you can smile too.
You have to decide how you want to be.
Bye now.
Let's meet again when you grow up.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Not at all.
I just had a talk with the owner and others involved.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I was unable to be of any help.
Thank you for trying.
At the end of business today, Bistro Fou will close down.
Oh well, that's as planned. Right?
I know, right? We knew this was going to happen.
I didn't have my hopes up anyway.
I've been bookmarking my next workplace sites like crazy.
Well then, I'll be in charge of closing down the business. Let me confirm a few things.
How are we going to turn over the place?
They would like us to remove all the contents.
- Got it. By when? - By the end of next month.
Got it. Then
I'll start closing the accounts for gas, water, electricity, and credit card.
We'll sell the furniture, cooking utensils, and dishware to the recycling company, and
apply that towards this month's expenses.
We'll plan to demolish and remove
by the middle of next month...
Why do we have to quit?
Ah~ Nitta-san. You have to do the penalty game.
We just started the other day.
Things were just starting to get going.
- Nitta-san, the penalty ga... - It was just the other day.
Just the other day,
we all wore gloves,
and with a hammer in our hand.
got on the roof.
We all built it just the other day.
It was just the other day
that we did all that.
Why do we have to demolish it already?
- Nitta-san. - Why
do we have to quit
when we've come to love this restaurant so much?
I don't want to quit.
Your ice cream's going to melt.
The squid's still in the freezer.
Karasumori-san, I only had 2 bottles of champagne chilled.
- We might need more. - What time is it?
5 o'clock.
- Is it different now? - I was watching Hiromu do it the other day.
He was saying, "Guccho maccho higemaccho." (game similar to rock paper scissors)
Ours was gurin gurin parin.
- Parin parin chorin, right? - That's it, that's it.
Ours was curry rice. Gookara paa-kara choukara.
What about the legend generation?
Gunkan (war ship) gunkan chinbotsu (sink). Chinbotsu chinbotsu haretsu (explode).
It's very Showa era.
Haiji-san, you too?
Ours was crap.
- That's nasty. - That's nothing unusual.
Crap, crap. A horse's ass smells bad.
Okay, I'm going to bring out the sign.
Let's get fired up.
A miracle didn't happen.
Miracles did happen.
We came this far, didn't we?
There were so many miracles, we just didn't realize it.
A miracle happens day by day, second by second.
While watching you all's face everyday, I thought,
if we live right today, tomorrow will come.
The customers coming in today will be Bistro Fou's last customers.
Let's do what we've been doing all this time
as usual from our heart.
Let's go, Bistro Fou.
We met for the first time when we were here the other day,
- but we're dating now. - You've just begun, then.
The company I'm working for right now is the pits, so I'm crying on her shoulder.
- What a girl needs is a girl friend, right? - I know, right?
Order's in.
Asparagus salad with oranges, pot-au-feu, and chocolate cake, please.
Tanaka-san, Tanaka-san. The other party of
the customer who had 22 glasses of water during the day is here.
Sano-san?
Can you take this?
Mochida-san was waiting for you for a long time today.
He's getting transferred to the States.
He probably wanted to tell me that we're breaking up.
- So today, I came to cry on Tanaka-san's shoulder... - Just a minute.
There's something Mochida-san forgot here.
I don't think someone who's thinking about breaking up will make something like this.
I'll give him a call tomorrow morning.
- Oh my, Ichiyen-san. - Long time no see.
- But he has 20,000 yen today. - You're carrying too much.
Mom at work
- Here's your bouillabaisse and... - Hey.
- Are you Airi-chan? - Are you Mukai-kun? (speaking in dialect)
Sure am. Airi-chan, you've gotten prettier.
What about you? Have you found your own music?
So your son borrowed money from a loan shark, huh?
That's not good. Do you want me to introduce you to a good lawyer?
It's ready.
NOTICE OF CLOSURE
It ended all too easily, didn't it?
I was expecting to be the manager after you left.
Too bad.
Shall we go grab something to eat before we head home?
- How about up there? - No way. That's a scary restaurant.
- Oh, no. - What?
This restaurant closed down.
- You're right. - What do you want to do?
We've got to eat something, right?
Good evening. How many in your party?
We have two children with us.
Oh, come on in.
Were you able to bring your strollers up here?
Yes. Two gentlemen carried them up here for us.
Why run a restaurant at a place that doesn't have an elevator, huh?
If you have a kid, eat at home, I say.
You were working pretty hard yourself carrying that stroller up there though.
Is there any woman out there who'd treat me nicely?
You have your wife and daughter, don't you?
Here's your table. You can see stars tonight.
You can see the night sky. You can see the moon too.
As few as they are, you can see stars too.
Pot-au-feu will be up shortly.
I actually graduated from Todai.
General Producer, pull harder.
Basically, I'm the defective product myself.
You're thinking that
I'm a worthless full-time housewife who has to be fed by her husband.
Because I don't like people. Please keep your distance.
People are a pain. Every day's a pain.
The earth is a pain.
Train to Fuji Jukai
I'm gay, you know. Is that okay?
On your next date, put you hair behind your ear. Behind your ear.
My heart is always wearing a swimsuit.
When women get together, they always want to comfort each other like this.
Here you go.
Is this for real?
Here's your pot-au-feu.
Please enjoy it before it cools down.
Thank you for coming.
- Are they our last customers? - Yes.
Once they leave...
The restaurant is closed.
- Don't leave. - Don't leave.
Don't leave.
Excuse me! Check please.
Yes, right away.
- Did you enjoy your meal? - It was delicious.
- This is a lovely restaurant. - Thank you.
I've come up with total sales from the time we opened the restaurant.
Excluding the initial expense put up by Tanaka-san,
Bistro Fou ended in the black!
How much? How much did we make?
840 yen.
120 yen per person.
That's enough to buy a can of juice.
Say, Chika-chan. Is this the right heat setting?
Don't touch it.
There's the person I know who can't pay the inheritance tax.
Sanzenin-san, why are you talking about inheritance tax on a lovely night like this?
I'm sorry.
Sanzenin-san, if you keep saying I'm sorry all the time,
you're going to attract men who want to make you say I'm sorry.
- Oh...I'm sorry. - What did I just say.
Then let's tell each other our love stories.
Love stories? I want to hear Tanaka-san's love story.
- Not mine. Yours. - Tanaka. Tanaka. Tanaka.
That's impossible. Tanaka doesn't have any love stories to tell.
A man who I think is attractive hasn't appeared yet.
Have you ever thought that maybe that's because you're not attractive yourself?
Maybe so.
Paaka-chan will fall in love someday too, right?
When Paaka-chan falls in love, maybe she'll take off her hoodie, huh?
What kind of a man do you like?
Korosuke (anime character).
When you get the "What are you doing now" e-mail
is when love begins, don't you think?
Why are you all gathered in here?
And when we were parting at the airport, he said,
"I can't let you go after all. I'm going to stay here."
I yelled at him, "You idiot! What are you talking about?"
"Your dream isn't something that's so easily..."
Do you think I'll have a chance to succeed next time?
Why don't you get bold and go for a younger man?
Will I have anything to talk about with a high schooler?
Wait a minute. Why high schooler?
I'm going to fall in love many times.
We'll take trips together, and
share books that we like.
We'll have a fight once in a while, but make up right away.
Kiss and make up?
Yes, we'll kiss and make up.
- Beauty salons terrify me. - Let's go together next time, okay?
Haiji-san, put your hair behind your ear too.
- Stop that. - Lock on.
- Stop it, I said. - Hey, hey. What about Monji-kun?
No, no, no, no. There's no chance of that anymore.
But Monji-san really, really likes you.
You talk too much, Kawana.
When I saw Tama-chan and Monji kiss, my heart skipped.
Shut up, Oshimazuki...
- How was Tanaka-san like when she was kissing? - Nitta.
She was super cute. Looking embarrassed and all.
I'm going bathroom. Bathroom, bathroom.
Tell us. Do you like Monji or not?
I do like him.
But no. There's no progress whatsoever, so don't get excited.
- Why is there no progress? - Pot-au-feu is ready.
All right!
Things won't go well even if we dated.
Lot of things bother me because I like him.
If I didn't like him, I wouldn't get so mad at all these things.
Then why don't you try changing him?
That's what I don't want to do the most.
If Monji-kun's with me, the good things about him will be gone.
If what I think is wrong with him changes,
what I think is good about him will change too.
There's a very deep river flowing there.
I'm sure there's someone who's a good match for him
and there's someone who can form a good relationship with him.
But that's not me.
I'm starting to feel sad.
It's okay. I haven't given up hope yet.
I'm going to find someone who's a perfect match for me.
I think the best thing is for Tanaka to be my wife.
Chika-chan, why don't you go to bed?
I'm not going to sleep. I'm not going to sleep if it kills me.
These guys ran out of steam too.
Well, I guess I'll go brush my teeth and go to bed too.
I'm going to bed too.
Okay. Let's have a quiet drink.
Karasumori-san, you only talk about how to make money easily at times like this.
Are you going to sleep too?
I don't want to be the last to fall asleep, so I'm going to sleep before you.
Aye, aye.
We did good work today too, didn't we?
Welcome. How many in your party?
- There's two of us. - Certainly.
- Please show them in. - Welcome. This way please.
Enjoy your meal.
- Good morning. - Good morning, Tanaka-san. How's it going?
We were able to get some good sole today.
That's something to look forward to.
- Karasumori-san. - This is delicious.
- It's nice to see you here. - Hi.
- Is this your new boyfriend? - He's my new boyfriend.
Oh, President. Good morning.
- Good morning. - I'm counting on your hard work today too.
President, please come to the kitchen.
What do you think about adding one more item to the lunch menu?
That's a good idea.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Chika, Chika. - President,
- didn't I tell you not to call me by name at the restaurant? - Sorry about that.
Everyone, let's work hard today too.
Tamako-san, order please.
Order's in.
Foie gras fritters. Omelette with cilantro.
Pot-au-feu, apple tart please.

Hi, guys!
Hey!
Are you serious?
Our restaurant's in that hotel over there.
- I only get the feeling that I'm gonna win. - I only get the feeling that we're going to win too.
I'm gonna win for sure.
You can see the ocean.
You can smell the salty air.
The food that you eat at a place like this
is sure to be delicious, don't you think?
Won't you run a restaurant with me here?
