Everyone says my papa is weird.
I'm sorry my breasts are small, Papa.
If anyone praises Mama, he gets super happy.
He ends up doing all sorts of things for people.
But my feelings of love for you aren't a lie!
What are you talking about? You deceived me!
I never want to see your face again!
Get out!
You don't want to get married now just because you found out he's not rich?
But, if anyone insults Mama, he gets super angry...
It causes a lot of trouble, so it's tiring.
Who is happy for you to say that?
But I think it's mysterious.
They got married because they love each other.
Why is so weird for Papa to love Mama so much?
My Papa won't even look at other women.
He lives only to make Mama happy.
No man in Japan loves his wife more!
Hi Papa!
Umm?
Excuse me.
Um, hey!
You tried really hard this semester. Work hard at home, too.
Next is Yamaguchi Kana-san!
You did very well during the first semester too!
Here you go.
Everyone!
Your summer vacation starts tomorrow!
Let's all try to make some great memories!
Okay!
Stand up.
Bow.
Good-bye!
Goodbye!
They were that bad?
Hey! Don't look at them!
Are you worrying about showing them to your parents?
Th-that's not it...
There's just some stuff going on at home...
What do you mean?
My sister left home a little while ago...
Why?
There was this guy she wanted to marry...
When she found out he wasn't rich...
Her attitude completely changed...
And then Papa and Mama got really mad at her.
So she left after a fight?
Hey... What about boys do girls fall in love with?
It has to be their earning potential and looks.
What? Not their personality?
That's just what everyone says.
I wonder...
Oh. Sorry.
It's no problem...
Don't you like that girl because she's cute?
H-hey! Don't say things like that!
What're you trying to hide?
Unagi and curry taste unexpectedly good together.
Unagi and curry? I can't believe it...
Let's see, now here...
Soy sauce.
If you flavor it now with soy sauce, it really tastes great.
Is it okay to try it?
Oh, please, help yourself.
Then I'll take some...
Please... Bon appetit.
Well?
Delicious!
Isn't it?
It tastes totally different!
You're really good at cooking.
Maybe you should teach me...
Lately I haven't had a lot of variety in my meals, so my wife has been annoyed with me...
Just leave it to me!
You know...
Papa, you're so wonderful...
Trying to make your wife happy everyday...
It's a little embarassing....
Note: These lines are word puns involving foods. They don't make a lot of sense in English...
Really? (SOU / SAUCE)
That's what they say. (SOU IU / SHOYU =soy sauce)
Oh, stop it. (SHIYO / SHIO = salt)
That can't be! (Sonna BAKA NA / Sonna BANANA)
My wife and I are a once in a lifetime pair. (ICHIGO = one time or strawberry)
Oh, Papa, you might be funny! (Omoshiro kamo/ MOMO = peach)
My wife might be getting worse! (masu masu MAZUKAMO / MASUKATTO = grape)
Oh, you're home? Welcome back.
I'm home.
Omigosh! You're so adorable, kiddo.
His name is Kaoru!
What? / Kaoru.
Kaoru-chama, huh?
I'm Pinko. Nice to meet you.
H-h-h-hi...
Pinko-san is really good at cooking...
Who is he?
One of Oniichan's friends.
It's really good...
The flavor is so nice...
I'm home...
Welcome back. Pinko-san's here.
Pinko-san? / Yappo!
What are you doing here?
I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I came!
He gave us this.
Since you're here, why don't you eat with us?
Oh no, I couldn't, Papa...
But, if you say so...
Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute?
A moment? Oh no, as soon as you come home...!
I haven't prepared my heart yet!
Whatever, just come here a sec...
We're off!
Kaoru, what are you doing?
Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu ep. 04
Did it seem like a joke when we were talking?
I want to stay intoxicated with your straightforward image.
If I say a certain word, don't you see, you'll start shining all at once.
That's the way I imagine it!
I'll let only you ride, I'll let only you ride...
At the speed of a rocketing comet...
We'll go far away, farther and farther away.
Let's search for stars together.
I'll let only you ride, I'll let only you ride.
Like a meteor shower of dreams...
That's why we're going far away, farther and farther away.
I wonder if you realized it as I said it?
We have an entire sky within us.

Um... what are you doing here?
You're so wonderful!
You sleep here with your younger brother.
Maybe I should sleep here from now on too?
Really, could you cut that out please?
Actually, how did you know where I live?
After you cancelled our date, I followed you home.
Doesn't that make you a stalker?
Well, I wanted to be with you forever!
Hey...
Would you go out with me?
What?
I knew it the moment I met you, Akira-chan...
The prince on a white horse I've been waiting for had finally appeared!
No, um...
It's okay.
From now on, I'll be by your side protecting you!
Yes...
This is destiny.
Pl-please don't decide these things on your own!
I'm home!
Welcome back.
Your Mama? Welcome home!
H-h-hey, just wait a sec!
Why? I need to greet her properly!
My mother, unlike my father, is a little hard-headed...
She starts yelling pretty quickly.
If you just spring out to meet her, she might be pretty shocked...
Or, a little shocked anyway, so...
But, since we're dating, I really should talk to her...
And I'm telling you it'll be bad for me if you say something so easily misunderstood.
Y-yes?
We're going to eat because Mama's home, but...
I'll join you!
Uuh... He...
I mean, she has some urgent business and needs to go home...
Really? / Yeah!
Who said they'd go home?
Please, just for today...
I promise to meet you later, just the two of us...
Really?
Yes.
Kaoru-chan, what are you doing?
I'll be excusing myself, Papa!
Pinko-san, your bag, your bag.
Thank you.
Thanks for showing me such great food today.
It was no trouble at all. See you next time!
Really?
You really will meet me again?
I promise.
Pinky promise.
Pinky promise-- / You're too loud!
I'm sorry... so sorry...
Okay. Bye.
Take care... / Bye bye!
I'm so tired...
What are you doing, Akira?
O-oh... I just thought it was a little messy...
Perfect. Okay...
Mama, would you mind not working at the table?
I have to read all of this by tomorrow morning...
I know that, but it's bad for your appetite...
It's bad for your health.
It's really quiet with Oneechan here...
Don't say unnecessary things.
Akira, who was that just now?
What was that for?
Gross!
You can't fool me. You were hiding someone in your room just now.
No I wasn't... It's just your imagination.
I bet it was Yuki.
No it wasn't! That person was --
Yeah, that's right. Oneechan snuck home for a while!
Right, Otousan?
You didn't tell her to come home, right Papa?
I didn't.
You can't let her into this house until she comes and apologizes.
I know.
And don't meet her secretly either.
Even if she comes crying to you, you can't lend her any money.
I won't, I won't. Don't worry, I won't give her any.
Really? / Really.
Oh yeah, what's that for?
What? / That.
The fruit? / Yeah.
That's...
Again?
What are you doing?
Oh yeah, you got your report card today right, Kaoru?
You need to show Mama.
No, I don't wanna...
Let him show it.
Let's see...
Oh no... your grades haven't improved at all...
What's wrong?
You need to work a little harder...
Just a little more, okay?
If you try, you can do it Kaoru.
Right, Otousan?
Yeah. You don't need to stress out or anything, just do what you can.
You need to follow your brother's example more.
He was always a gentle, sweet child...
He did all of his studying and chores without being told to...
Stop it, Okaasan.
His grades in middle and high school were great, so I wanted him to be a lawyer too, but...
He didn't go to college and said he wanted to be a hair stylist instead...
Papa said we should let him do what he wanted, so...
I reluctantly agreed to it, but...
Now I think he made the right choice for himself.
He seems to work really hard at his job.
You don't have to talk about that anymore, right?
Yeah... Now all you need to do is bring home a nice bride and everything would be perfect...
Because it's you, I really hope you don't get caught by any strange girls, okay?
Geez, that's so gross!
He-hey, what are you...?
Mama would freak if she found out about Pinko-san, don't you think?
Yeah...
I wonder... / You say something?
Oh, nothing...
Hi, it's Yuki.
I can't answer the phone right now.
Leave a message!
Where is she...
Hello? It's me.
Hey, do you want to go play somewhere?
You have work tomorrow?
Why don't you just play hooky?
Oh, I see. Gotcha.
I'll call again.
Hello? It's me.
Is it okay for me to come over there right now?
It'd really help me out if I could stay for a couple days...
Oh, your boyfriend's coming?
Gotcha. Sorry.
Everyone's so cold lately...
You've got mail
Come home.
Akira and Kaoru both say it's lonely without you around.
Even though what Mama said was strict...
She really is worried about you...
I want to hear your voice...
I'll be waiting for your call, so call me anytime okay?
She called.
Hello, Oneechan?
Where are you right now?
A-a friend's house.
Just swallow your pride and come back home.
You don't have any money, right?
But, you know...
I'll talk to Mama for you.
So, Oneechan...
Don't be stubborn and come home.
What are you doing?
Someone from the apartment management just called about something...
Umm... can we wind this up pretty soon?
Is Mama near you right now?
Uh, yes, that's correct... um...
What should I do?
Tell Mama...
"I'm not at fault."
I have no intention of apologizing or coming home.
Please don't say that....
If that's the case, will you come here?
Why don't you bending to Mama's will?
Bye.
Please wait--
What did Yuki say?
She's never coming home.
Don't do unnecessary things again.
Sorry.
You're late!
I'm over here!
Sorry to make you wait.
You didn't get too lost?
Not really.
What'll you drink?
Excuse me!
Welcome.
Iced Cafe au Lait, extra milk.
Oh, wow! Our preferences match!
It's just a coicidence...
Hey, where do you want to go?
How about here? It looks delicious!
This isn't a date...
What? Then what is it?
This is... a meeting.
About what?
As you said earlier...
Stop it! I don't like it when you use such formal language with me!
Call me "Pinko."
Though you said before that you wished to date me, Pinko-san...
We... / Your drinks.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Please take your time.
Note: Amuro-chan is Amuro Namie
Isn't Amuro-chan great?
I've liked her a long time too.
Oh, wow, we really do match!
No, I think there are a lot of people that like Amuro-chan...
Wow, they're holding a Klimpt exhibit.
No way! I want to see it. Want to go?
Sure.
I mean, no...
We really are fated to be together.
I mean, our hobbies and everything match so well!
Please don't say that.
I'll take this oppurtunity to say this. I don't think I can fulfill your expectations, Pinko-san...
You can't fall in love with a man?
No, I mean... Yeah. I'm sorry. I can't.
That's what everyone says in the beginning!
What?
Why don't you just go on a few dates with me? I'm pretty fun, y'know.
What I mean is...
Since you're here tonight, and all...
This place really looks great. I'll make a reservation.
No, please wait a minute...
I'm home... / Welcome back.
Need dinner?
I ate already.
You seem down. What happened?
Actually...
I met Pinko-san today...
Oh?
A date?
No it wasn't.
[Today's date was really fun! Where shall we go next? I'm looking forward to it! ~Pinko]
That's totally what it looks like.
Yeah.
Oniichan, you aren't...
... like that, are you?
Of course not.
Hey, Otousan, I'm sorry, but could you...
...please refuse him, I mean HER for me?
Me?
Please don't make me. I don't want to.
Please don't say that...
I don't think he'll listen if it's just me...
So, what kind of people do you like then, Oniichan?
What did you like about the people you dated up until now?
I... that is...
Hey, can you please not ask hard questions to people who are already stressed out?
You're going to refuse him?
Isn't that the problem?
So, what do you like about Okaasan then?
Well, that is...
You don't have to tell an old story...
Well, you know... Whenever I'm with her, it's never boring.
No matter how old we get, I still discover new things about her.
Even though I thought she was beautiful when I married her...
I was pretty young, so I worried about whether I'd be able to keep Mama happy...
I didn't have much confidence then.
But, when we entered our 30s and Mama hit her first wrinkle landmark...
Mama was pretty self conscious about it, but I thought...
I wanted to make her laugh and be happy, so I could see more of them.
To be with her until I die...
I thought it was my duty to be by Mama's side `til death do us part.
I think that those sentiments are amazing, but...
You really are a bit too unique in your feelings.
You think?
Is it Mama?
It was Pinko-san again?
Otousan, please do something...
I'll never ask you to do this again, so...
How did you break up with everyone else?
The most effective method was...
...telling them I had someone else I liked, probably...
Don't you think you should go that route this time too?
Y'know, I don't think he'd really be satisfied with that...
What if you showed him how lovey-dovey you were with that person?
I think he'd have no choice but to give up...
But who would you ask to do something like that?
Absolutely not.
I really don't know who else we could ask to do something so odd...
What do you mean by that?
I'm sorry. Um...
Tsunami-san, I really think you could help my son. Please.
Please.
Honestly, why do you always expect me to go along with your troublesome schemes?
Please don't say such unfriendly things...
But I am unfriendly.
Actually, we aren't even that close.
We're just neighbors.
Then, why don't I do your laundry and cleaning...
Shopping, taking out your garbage, everything.
No thank you.
If you ever need to have a fake boyfriend, I'll be it.
I have no need for that.
I'll always be available if you have any problems or concerns...
I have a problem with this situation right now.
I'm troubled by it.
So, please leave. Bye.
Please don't say that...
Um...
I'll give you a free haircut.
I'm actually planning on growing it out.
If there's anything I can do for you, please tell me.
I'm telling you I don't have any.
Please.
Please save me.
These two are very lovey-dovey.
No one can stop their love.
Or rather, their love cannot be stopped.
So, kiss each other.
What?
If you're his girlfriend it shouldn't be a problem, right?
That is...
Pinko-san, you can't expect them to do that in front of all these people?
Both of them are quite shy.
Are you two really dating?
Of course they are.
That's right, isn't it?
Yeah...
What's so good about that old lady?
Don't call me old.
Um... from a long time ago he liked older women...
Yeah, and she has a lot of cute things about her, despite her age...
I don't really think that, though.
Hey... is that woman married?
Um, that is... well...
Honestly...
It's an affair.
You're condoning an affair, Papa?
No, I'm just letting them make their own decisions...
Then, then, then...
Where did you meet?
Um... we...
She moved in next door. Recently.
That's true.
Yeah.
Really? And neighbors have affairs?
Your husband hasn't noticed?
That is...
He's very uncaring. Right now he's away overseas.
Even if your husband doesn't know, don't your children realize?
Well, what I should I say...
Let's just quit this ridiculous act.
What?
You might be trying to spare this person's feelings, but...
I think it's a lot better to just express your feelings honestly.
If you don't like him, just say so.
Guys like you are like politicians trying to look good...
While at the same time saying they'll never follow along with America's war policies.
I hadn't really thought that far...
You seem to be mistaken about something.
Your "kindness" isn't really kindness at all.
In the end, you just want people to think you're a good person.
That's why you're nice to people you don't like.
You just want the other person to like you.
Once they like you, you're satisfied.
So you move on to the next person, because being involved with them is too much work.
You're just running away.
Basically...
You don't have the courage to really love anyone.
I...
I'm just saying this, but...
People who can't truly love others...
...will receive divine punishment.
I'm so sorry.
I asked you to do something strange...
Will you leave me alone from now on?
That thing you just said about people who can't love others being punished...
Is that something from your experience?
The other day you also said that if you let your guard down, happiness will just slip away, right?
Is that also related?
If you'd like, would you talk to me about it?
About your family...
There must be some reason why we became neighbors.
If there is anything I can do for you...
I'll do anything.
Why don't you try worrying about your son instead of other people?
Um...
Let's go home.
Kaoru must be hungry, y'know.
That's right. Okay.
Should I make your favorite beef and potato stew tonight?
Really?
Then let's get a lot of beef.
Hey, isn't that...
What's wrong?
What?
Thank you!
I'm so sorry!
I lied to you...
Welcome!
Why are you...?
We just happened to be passing by, and...
Really?
Have you heard from my daughter recently?
Did something happen to Yuki-san?
Actually, she left home a while ago...
And we have no idea where she could have gone, so...
Is it my fault?
No, it's not.
She eloped with someone?
I don't think so.
She didn't commit suicide, did she?
There's no need to worry about that.
If my daughter contacts you, could you please let me know?
I will. / Thanks.
I don't think she will, though.
Ow.
Could you lend us your face?
You know, you need to pay back money you borrow.
I'm sorry!
Please wait a little longer!
Everyone says that.
Just what did you spend the 1 million yen (appx. US$10,000) on?
A dream, you might say...
Shut the hell up.
What should we do, Otousan?
Why don't you do something, Oniichan?
Impossible! There are 3 of them!
Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Why're you here?
I followed you again, Akira-chan.
Hey, stop that right now boys!
Who the hell are you?
Isn't it against the law to use force to get back a debt from someone?
Shut up.
Crossdressers should stay out of this.
Oh, really?
I'm so sorry!
Not the face, not the face!
I told you, not the face!
Sorry!
Sorry, that hurt, right?
Doesn't it hurt?
I can't believe it!
Yamashita-san! Over here, hurry!
H-hey! I'm not involved!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
Akira-chan!
Get your dirty feet away!
Papa! Papa!
Hey! Get off of him!
Ow, that hurt!
What are you doing, Oneechan?
I was jogging, and happened to be in the neighborhood...
What are you doing?
One of the neighbors told me.
"A person that looks like your sister has been walking around the building."
Well, excuse me.
Why don't you just come home, Oneechan?
You don't have anywhere to go, right?
You sure say some cheeky things for a brat.
We're getting off here.
Are you okay, Yamashita-san?
What happened?
Oneechan...
Good evening.
That looks terrible.
Doesn't it hurt?
This will sting a little, so just bear it a moment.
OUCH! Ow, ow, ow, ow.
It'll be over in a sec.
Why did you borrow a million yen from a loan shark anyway?
Sorry.
Because he wanted you to like him, of course.
What?
Buying you expensive presents, taking you to high-class restaurants...
It must have been so hard pretending to be rich.
Sorry...
Are you an idiot?
OUCH!
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
Papa, open up!
It's Mama!
What'll we do?
I can open it for you!
No, you don't have to...
I'm leaving.
You need to talk to Mama.
Hey, Papa!
I guess we'll just have to talk to her.
What are you saying?
Do you really think you can explain this situation away?
Not really...
It really is my fault, so...
That's not the problem...
I really am leaving.
No you can't!
What are we gonna do?
Anyway, let's just have those two hide on the veranda...
And have them leave while she's changing.
Why do we have to do that?
Please.
Will you date me if I do?
So you guys really are like that...
No we aren't!
Papa!
Hey, what're we doing?
Oneechan, do what Oniichan says, out to the veranda...
Please...
Papa, hurry up and open the door!
Welcome home...
It took you too long!
What were you doing?
I was sort of daydreaming...
I'll take that...
Mama's coming in!
What?
Mama's home.
Welcome back. / I'm home.
Welcome back.
I'm back.
Papa, where's dinner?
Sorry, I was a little disorganized. I'll make something now.
I'm so hungry I could die, you know?
I'll make something right away.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Why don't you change first?
Eh?
Yeah, why don't you rest a little bit too?
I'll come wake you up in a little while!
Okay? Let's do that.
Really?
Then maybe I will.
You should.
Hey Papa... Won't it be a little tough to make dinner by yourself? We have guests, you know.
Everyone's going home.
Otousan!
People hiding on the veranda...
Come out.
Huh? Where's Oneechan?
Where's Oneechan? She didn't fall, did she?
Oneechan!
[One Hour Later]
Okay, dinner's ready!
It's done!
Everyone sit down...
Sit down, sit down.
Oh my...
C'mon, Yamashita-san.
How about me?
I'll bring one too.
Oneechan!
Oneechan! Over here.
Mama!
Um... I'm sorry, but...
Would you mind acting more like a normal guy in front of my mom?
Eh? Why?
I don't want her to get any weird ideas.
Please.
Fine.
C'mon.
[another pun about fried rice]
Oh my, Papa, how funny!
I mean, damn funny.
Well then, let's eat.
Itadakimasu!
Itadakimasu.
How's the flavor?
Delicious.
Good?
Why are you here?
Didn't you leave?
Oh be quiet.
I'm leaving.
Now, now, you two. Let's eat a nice meal together.
Yeah...
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
You don't have anything to do with this.
Hey, Mama...
Yes?
Note: Pinko is switching between masculine and femine speach patterns.
I mean, Okaasan, how did you know we were hiding on the veranda?
Hmm... the smell, I guess?
The smell?
Yeah.
When I came in, I smelled disinfectant but...
...no one was injured.
I also smelled a brand of cologne that wasn't familiar.
Oh wow, Mama! You're amazing!
I mean, that was hella cool.
Um, this might seem rude, but...
What sort of relationship do you have with my son?
He's one of my customers at work.
Really?
What do you mean?
Oh, let's just stop the act. She already knows.
You know, Akira-chan, your family is really wonderful.
Mama is beautiful, smart, and cool.
Papa is great, too.
I had thought there were no real gentlemen in Japan anymore.
And the kiddo is honest and nice.
He totally didn't act like I was weird at all.
Oneechan is cute and energetic! The best.
Why don't you apologize to your mom and come home?
Papa's been so worried about you.
I'll help you out any way I can, so...
Just think of me as family and come talk to me!
Right, Akira-chan?
Stop it.
What the hell are you trying to do?
Saying all that stuff without paying attention to the situation.
There's no way I'd go out with someone like you!
I was just...
Just leave me alone!
It's gross and you're bothering me!
You fag.
Niichan, watch your language...
It's okay, Papa...
I'm used to it.
I've always been treated like a monster because I love men.
I was bullied at school...
My mother cried about me...
And my older brother told me to never come back again.
I'm just very stubborn.
I knew everyone was bothered because of me...
That no one would ever love me...
But, as Akira-chan said before...
A person who would truly love me will eventually appear.
I was so happy to hear that...
"If I were with someone who said such nice things, how happy I'd be" I thought.
And then... and then..
I just... sort of misunderstood. I'm really stupid, aren't I?
Goodbye.
Pinko-san... Pinko-san!
Why don't you finish dinner with us?
Excuse me. / Pinko-san, wait!
Then, I'll be going too...
Yamashita-san, we just started... Yamashita-san!
Akira...
Go apologize to that person.
It takes a lot of courage for anyone to confess their feelings!
That person should be the same.
Even if you're refusing...
You should treat all people with respect.
Can you stop lecturing me with that know-it-all look on your face?
Oniichan...
Why don't you calm down a bit?
I'm tired of this!
Everyone is so selfish!
Just leave me alone from now on, okay?
I've never been nice!
I don't care what happens to any of you!
Are you serious?
Isn't it fine?
Even you don't do anything maternal. Just whatever you feel like.
That's why... Don't have any more weird expectations...
And stop lecturing me!
You don't know anything about me!
What did you do that for?
What are you doing?
Why did you do that to Mama?
Stop it. Apologize.
Apologize! Apologize now!
Please!
I won't forgive you if she's hurt.
What are you trying to prove?
I'm just trying to express my feelings!
Stop it, both of you! You're not used to fighting!
Stop it!
Papa!
Even though you said Mama doesn't care about you...
Mama's been worried about you a long time!
"Akira seems to be stressed out and overdoing it a bit. Is he really okay?"
"Why doesn't he depend on others more?"
"He doesn't have to supress his feelings."
She was worried you'd let it build up and then explode one day!
"He'll come to you for help one day, Papa, so support him then, okay?"
Mama, I'm fine now...
Here...
I never thought Mama would have to tell me that.
I'm with you longer and I understand less about you than she does.
But even you!
You know that there isn't any reason for you to do that to her!
Oniichan! Akira! Did you even know what Mama feels about you?
So who did you make happy by saying all of those things to her?
Who would be happy for those things to be said?
Why are you leaving?
It would make it seem like I used the confusion to come home.
I don't want anyone to think that I was sneaky.
But didn't your father want you to come home?
You're so noisy.
Why were you there, anyway?
Sorry.
Don't follow me!
Sorry.
Papa...
Don't be so depressed and come out...
Go to bed. You have an early day tomorrow.
Hey...
You didn't do anything bad today, Papa.
That's not true. I punched my son.
Then, even I...
You're blameless, Mama.
[The next morning]
Oniichan...
I'm sorry for punching you yesterday.
I'm a horrible human being.
I have no right to live in this house.
Ma'am, what do you think of your husband's win?
I'm not his wife.
We're not having an affair, either.
I hate you, Mama!
I didn't realize the importance of my family until they were gone.
My kids give me so much happiness...
