Episode 07
I love movies!
You really look like an idiot. It's OK to continue dreaming.
Even if it doesn't come true or if you get old or get very old, your dream of directing will always be in your heart.
You can't quit because your dream will never die.
What are you trying to get at?
I love you!
Please check that the light is green Look left and right then cross.
The Kids Land project is working out well, isn't it?
It's going to be a little hard, but we must do our best.
Isaki.
- Isaki! - What?
We are going to do our best, right?
- Yes! - We are right.
No matter what, we are going to do our best.
Why am I doing this?

- I need someone to draw a car. - Yes!
Please draw it here.
- Please put it over there. - Yes.
- This one over there. - Yes.
Put the drawer over here.
- Yashima, what are you doing? - A little help, please.
- Let's go then. - Yes.
- Boss! - Yes.
- Boss. - Yes?
What do you want to do with these flowers?
Put them over here.
Isaki.
Isaki, you have a call.
- It's your mother. - What?
Here.
Isaki?
How did you know this phone number?
I called your cell phone but ­..
Excuse me, but I'm on the phone.
There is no problem, but I have something to ask you.
Well, so what is it?
- Don't forget about Sunday? - Sunday?
- I want to introduce Kusakabe to you - What!
But you...
You can be so difficult.
You always say "Yes, yes" but end up forgetting.
Yes, yes, I understand. I promise I will go.
You are just saying that to me now...
I'm sorry but I'm trying to talk.
Please don't make me wait.
It's OK, we'll be going.
- What, you have a boyfriend? - No, that’s not it.
- Oh, he is coming. - What?
I'll make the reservation for four people then.
It's not that I don't want to introduce you but...
Excuse me, could you also give me a perm?
- Well, see you on Sunday. - Hold on.
- Where do you want this package? - Here please.
- Oh Yashima. - Yes?
Are you busy on Sunday?
I'm sorry, but I have a date on Sunday.
Will you be able to work on Sunday?
- Sunday is bad for me. - Really?
Erika, will you be able to work on Sunday?
- Is there a problem? - Yes, kind of.
You... I understand. You have to meet your prince right?
- I don't have one. - What?
I don't have a prince anymore.
Koike, you have a customer.
Yes~
- Eisuke, that's really good. - Really?
The summer has started, hasn't it?
You are a good cook. Did this take you a long time?
This is really good.
You are not hungry?
It's not very good, is it?
- These are very good noodles. - We are both young women.
Who would want us if we don't know how to cook?
You haven't eaten this.
If you add these plum pieces, it will make them taste better.
Plums are the best during the summer.
- You're right, it's good. - Isn't?
I actually wanted to go to Eisuke's place.
But as for that place,
it has nothing but canned food, so it's not very good.
Really?
But I like it.
Why don't you want to go to the other restaurant, the "Yume No Kura"?
As for that place...
What’s going on with you and Richi?
Are you OK?
It's the green onions.
[Driving Instructor's Certification Test]
I just love her.
Me too.
- You don't know how to talk like that? - I know how.
At the barbeque, you had a chance but you didn't say anything.
Yeah, yeah sure.
Why do you guys want to do that?
Boys can't be that sappy.
I don't agree.
Oh here you go.
After all the work, only you got the credit.
That’s not what happened.
You did do this, but you won't say that Kohei and I helped?
Well, was it bad for Isaki?
I wonder if we were bad. what Isaki would have done?
She wouldn't have recommend us to her company.
Well, I love you means I love you.
What?
Kohei, watch this.
You have to study.
What?
I ended telling Richi "I love you."
You end up saying it?
What do you think?
How do I think? Was it a confession?
You think that way?
I don't understand the meaning of your question.
Love is love, but there is a variety of meanings.
What should I do?
Did you say "I love you" as a friend?
Yes, like a friend.
- Did you make yourself clear? - I didn't.
Well then, it means you inadvertently confessed your love for him.
Because I said it with so much energy.
It would be strange if I try to explain it.
- It's good, isn't it? - What?
If you didn't say that,
your feelings would stay all bottled up.
What does that mean?
You don't just like Richi like anyone else, you have feeling for him as a man.
Yikes, stop that.
- That's not it at all. - Isn't it?
Boys and girls are not the same.
When a girl says she likes a boy only as a friend,
there is no other meaning but romantic love.
But it's different, I only like him as a friend.
I think you are lying~
What’s going on with your Sunday lunch/dinner plans?
Oh!
- You have a chance. - A chance?
If you ask like a lover, it might come true.
So who are you thinking of now?
Richi?
It's not him.
- Eisuke. - What?
Will you meet me at the MANU?
Please.
- Good evening. - Welcome.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- Mino, it's here. - Yes.
- Cheers~ - Cheers~
Your place is really popular now.
Please don't joke.
You guys are my only regular customers.
Eisuke, I'm sorry bothering you, but -
- Are you free on Sunday? - What?
I plan to have a meal with my mother.
She told that I and a lover...
and I said I would bring a friend.
I don't just to use someone, but
- You're busy, aren't you? - It's OK.
What?
I want to go to other places and see their cooking,
- And I'm closed on Sunday. - Really?
Thank you very much.
- So what kind of the place? - She said Peking Duck.
Peking Duck!?
Eisuke, you sound happy about this.
Even though you have a girlfriend.
You are just a tag along, so you can calmly do stuff like this.
Well, you are also a tag along, so you can understand.
Well, who does it or you do it doesn't matter, for it still doesn't feel good.
But a real good friend wouldn't think that.
Eisuke.
Welcome.
Well, it's boring tonight, isn't it?
It's crowded and uncomfortable.
Yes.
- Isaki, let's go to another place. - Yes!
Good.
What is it?
- Those people... - My friends.
- Eisuke, do you have another girlfriend? - No, I don't.
But isn't there a girl you like?
I'm taking Alfred to the beauty shop the day after tomorrow.
- We are going to use your car. - What?
Let's meet on Sunday.
- Sunday is not good for me. - We are going to meet!
- Thanks for the hard work today. - Thank you.
- Bye for today. - Bye.
The instructor keeps on talking, and we have to listen to all of it.
Sometimes I get sleepy, and I have to hit myself to stay awake.
What should I do?
It sounds hard.
But I'm sorry for always meeting you here.
- No, I like this place. - Really?
After I finish my training, let's go somewhere. On a drive or to an amusement park?
- Like that trip? - What?
We went on a trip during the summer vacation when we were in college.
We invited Kohei and Kita.
Oh yes, it's just like the trip we took during that break.
I'm back.
Oh welcome home.
- You going to work? - Yes.
Be careful.
Oh yeah, Richi.
- Do you have any free time? - What?
- Why is it you? - Sorry, I'm not my brother.
And you wore the wrong clothes.
I didn't know about that.
I look like a dog.
So shouldn't you be the one taking Alfred to the beauty shop?
Well, you are the one full of it.
What do you mean?
The other day you said you love me.
Well, as for that....
Excuse me.
- You have a guest. - Yes.
- Who is the guest? - What?
- Who is coming? - You don't know?
All I know is about the dog and going to get some Chinese food.
Well, that’s all true but you are supposed to be my...
Isaki.
- Mom. - What?
Hurry up.
Sorry for being late.
Nice to meet you. I am Kusakabe.
I am Makino Isaki.
- And you are... - Uhm.
Yes?
- When are you guys getting married? - What?!
No, we haven't talked about that yet.
Isn't that right?
You were classmates in elementary school.
After 40 years, I ended up at the hospital where your mom was working.
It didn't take long, I remembered him right away.
Really?
Really.
Because he was in the hospital, it was strange seeing him.
Don't talk about things like that.
You are the only one who thinks that.
Thanks.
- And? - What?
He is being unsociable.
Isn't this food good?
Because you were in the hospital, what was wrong?
It was a hemorrhoids' operation.
Who was the first to confess your love?
I can't answer that but it was you, wasn't it.
No, it was you~
Thanks.
Oh, you got some on me.
- Is this fun? - Really?
It's always this way.
But the faces are different.
With more people, isn't it more fun?
- It's a double date. - Double date, how about me?
I understand because I was in your place before.
I'm crying with sympathy.
Well, let's drink some more.
What are you doing?
- A towel please. - Excuse me.
- I didn't know you were together. - What?
You and Junko.
What!
No, we are not a couple.
Really?
Well, Koike.
Now...
You have broken up with your prince, and for the first time, you've found someone…
- That was a lie. - What?
Akira looked so unhappy, I said that to ease his mind.
Really?
Junko, come here.
- Yes, cheers. - Cheers.
- They really match. - What?
They really match.
Really.
They are a lot alike.
In what way?
Look how lively they are.
Because they are adults.
They shouldn't act like that.
It might be strange to see them act that way.
(clap, clap)
But it's good to get back your young spirits.
That’s not called a natural spirit! Normal people don't act that way.
Instead of running wildly,
you can still follow all the rules and still have a good time.
Really.
Everyone is forced to do work they don't want to.
You said it, Teacher.
As a teacher, I have my own pride. What do you think of that?
What?
You can't say the same for yourself.
Are you guys just going to listen?
Is that so?
Excuse, can we has some more drinks?
Mom, you've had too much already.
It's OK, she hasn't done this for a while, so she makes it for fun.
My mother is getting married and I worry that this doesn't suit a bride.
I am getting married.
- I can't explain it to this kid. - What is it?
Now you worry about me, but I did everything by myself and I hated it.
I've always been a Makino and not a bride. For a long time I've just been running without a plan.
But since I am getting married,
I will not worry anymore.
- Please take her off my hands. - Take her?
That hurts.
Oh, this is the one.
Sorry. That was a little embarrassing.
No, this isn't the first time.
What!
- But I think it's good. - What?
You have a good family.
As for those two, a little crazy?
What?
Because I'm her kid, I shouldn't say that.
Isn't it odd for you to say that?
Normal people would say the same thing. If you thought about it, anyone would say it.
It can't be helped. I just say what I think.
Because I love you!
Uhm...
As for the other time...
Uhm...
You are...
Because...
As a friend, after thinking about what you said.
If you didn't think about it, you wouldn't have said it.
What?
You were just caught up at the moment.
Yes, yes.
I was just caught up at the moment.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
- I'm sorry about today. - Oh..
- Do you want one? - Yes.
Thanks.
What am I going to do?
What are you talking about?
Are you regretting quitting the bank?
- No. - Isn't it.
You have always had regrets and set backs.
That is true.
What?
Being a movie director.
It made me happy when I saw you studying filmmaking.
And I could see my dream living on within you.
But unlike me, you have a lot of talent.
- You sound just like her? - Who?
Isaki.
Isaki?
You two are both trying to encourage people, but end up making them shy.
Being shy or being made shy, which is it?
What?
Sorry.
Everyone, please remember one thing.
Don't ever give up hope.
When you give up, then it really ends.
This is the kids room.
Here is how we grade you for certification.
We break up your score into three parts.
The first part is safety.
The remaining will be...
The moment you give up your dream -
is the moment your dream ends.
I think within this group, there are people who wanted to come here.
And there are those of you
who don't want to be here.
And I think there are also
people here who just want
to sell fashionable western style clothes.
Within these groups, I thought about where I fall into.
However...however
I want to see this through.
If I see this through, I think I will see something great.
I don't know how we will be tested.
But we only have one life.
But I will hold on and do it.
[Resignation Letter]
- Please accept this. - Richi...
You need to think about this.
I've already thought about it
for three years.
You shocked everyone. The boss couldn't say anything.
- You shocked me too. - Sorry.
Are you going back to filmmaking?
I haven't decided that yet.
But I thought about it here.
However I don't know exactly what I will do.
So this is just your first step?
A small one.
- Well, this is your turning point. - What?
I also thought about it.
Sometimes I want to quit.
I want to quit and make my own company and work hard in advertising.
I never expect you to say that.
Now that I thought about it, it is a surprise.
But I have no regrets.
That sounds strange but I'm happy with my life.
As for me,
I like being a driving instructor.
I don't understand filmmaking.
But I could tell that you wanted to leave this place.
Mr. Yamauchi...
- Am I being too strong? - Not at all.
My tone of voice.
But I do like this place
and the people here.
However I'm a little confused.
Really?
- Do your best. - Yes.
- See you later. - Bye.
- Where do these go? - It's here.
Please put this on the table.
- Put these on the sofa. - Yes.
How about this?
Chief!
- This place looks good. - Good afternoon.
- Can you take this? - Yes.
No matter what you say, the brand-new is good.
It feels like we are starting.
Our group is also getting famous.
I can't wait till I can give some kids a swift kick.
What?
We need someone who can speak a foreign language so
we have a Southwest Japan coming from a guy.
I mean we have a guy coming from the south west area of Japan.
But Chief...
He is a classmate of yours, Makino.
From before I can't remember his name.
- Who?
What about me?
- You have really worked hard. - What?
Hold on. I have a call.
Well, I will see you later.
But as for me?
Boss, it's your cell phone.
Oh thanks.
So what about me?
Yes.
Hello.
This is Serizawa.
I'm really busy now.
Well.
Never mind, it's nothing.
- What is it? - Well, you are busy, aren't you?
-May I help the next customer? - Yes.
Well, bye then.
- Do you want to meet at the MANU tonight? - What?
Eisuke's place.
Mino won't go there anymore.
- Next customer please. - Yes.
Here you go.
- I'm sorry about Sunday. - No, don't worry about it.
She really looks hostile.
- At me?! - What else could it be?
Did I do something bad to her?
- No, it's a misunderstanding. - A misunderstanding?
You are being bad for business.
I'm not doing anything.
It's something else.
- Well, the way you are acting is... - I'm going.
This is Kenshin.
in the battle of the cooks.
When he first tries to eat the steak, it's too hard.
Look at what he does!
I'm hungry.
Let's go and eat something.
Yes.
This the first time for us to eat alone, isn't it?
I wonder if Isaki will go too? Oh, I have a text message.
- Uhm... - Yes?
I'm thinking of entering the film festival.
- Really? - Yes.
It's not only me who will work on it.
But when I'm done, I want you see it.
I want you to be the first one to see it.
Yukie.
Am I being rude?
There is another girl you like.
You and this girl have already...
I can be offended just like any other girl.
- What? - No, that is not the girl.
Sorry, are you alright?
I'm really sorry. Yukie completely misunderstood.
What?
What is the misunderstanding?
Well, it is not Isaki.
What?
Let me get something for you.
Mino?!
- Here. - Thanks.
Thanks.
That was severe. My mom has never even hit me.
Really?
Well, so it's Eisuke and Mino.
A peach tree and a pepper tree?
You shouldn't say that in front of little kids.
- It's not right. - What?
- Did I say something bad? - You do it all the time.
Really?
- I wonder if Mino is OK? - What?
She probably doesn't know what just happened.
It looks like she is avoiding Eisuke.
Would it be bad if she just forgot about Eisuke?
Mino really seems to love Eisuke.
But if that is true, then Kohei will be rejected.
- You are in a difficult position. - I am?
In one hand you have your brother, in the other you have a good friend.
Whichever one you choose, you will have a problem.
In this position,
whatever you say will be bad.
What?
Whether it's Mino, Eisuke or Kohei,
isn't it their own business?
What?
Well, don't you like Eisuke?
Really.
Well, I just got rejected.
That’s not it?
There is nothing I can do.
Well, it looks like I got rejected by you too.
Well.
Aren't you going to cry?
Well, I'm not really in shock.
Are you that strong?
No.
Because you are here.
Thanks.
Thanks for being near at this time.
Do you have something to talk about?
Well.
- I quit the school. - What?
- I decide to quit some time ago. - You must be lying?
What is it?
What could it be?
Is it because of me?
I wonder.
You just keep on talking about stupid thing.
You forget that you stand behind people and butting into their business.
Because of you my life is all mixed out.
But I like that kind of life.
Thanks.
When I'm with you, my life becomes real.
- Well, thanks. - What?
You just thanked me.
You were the one who just said thanks.
But it doesn't sound like it involves me?
Your life is the one affected.
If you say thanks then...
I'm joking.
Foreigners often do that to say thank you.
- I will. - You will?
