What time does the mail arrive?
Tomi-san says it's usually around half-past one.
Good afternoon, this is the postman. Is anyone in?
Yes.
I'm the postman.
If she is a winner...
...today's the day the Beatles' ticket would be sent to her.
She can't calm down, can she?
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.

No water yet?
Certainly.
Mineko, take a minute and go check.
Well, but...
Geez, you...
You can't work when you're this flustered, can you?
I agree.
Look, hurry and go already.
Thank you.
Hurry, hurry!
Yes, I'll be going.
Um, I'll be going for a bit!
Get going!
I'm sorry.
Ah!
What's up?
Um, the mail...
If it's about the mail, I accepted it. It seems the landlady is out.
I see... Um, was there anything for me?
There wasn't.
I see...
Yeah.
I see...
I didn't win...
Is this about the toothpaste?
Yes.
How frustrating...
Are you okay?
Yes.
Even though you cooperated in this with me, Shimatani-san...
I'm sorry.
There's no need to apologize at all.
Thank you very much.
Are you okay?
I was just showing a bit of the shameless side of me.
Nothin' ta do.
"Nothin' ta do"?
Ah, um, "it can't be helped" or "nothing can be done about it."
Ah, I see.
Good luck at switching jobs. Shimatani-san, it'll be at the university?
Yeah.
Good luck to you.
Dad...
...it didn't work out.
It's frustrating and sad somehow.
I'm dejected.
Sorry about that.
Oh, how'd it go?
I didn't get it.
That's too bad.
You've got no talent for gambling, Mineko.
Yes...
Even though all of you helped out in this, I'm sorry.
Thank you very much.
Ah, that's right. I got my hands on those Beatles tickets you were asking for at last.
Eh? Thank you!
I don't understand them all that much...
...but I thought I should go and see them once.
Well, this isn't from my TV station, but Kojimachi Broadcast.
So they were pretty tough to get.
Whaa... thank you.
They're only giving three performances, right?
I don't know about that, either.
I felt I had a tough enough time just getting those.
Thank you.
I'm very sorry about this.
Ah... I see. Didn't work out, huh?
That's disappointing, isn't it?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Well, still, thanks to that toothpaste you spread around here...
...we won't be needing any more for awhile.
And all our teeth will be strong.
Thank you very much.
Huh? Did I say something good just now?
Did I?
About a half-way one.
Right?
Too bad.
Ah, my...
Are you okay?
Yes.
Sorry.
It's not like it was your fault.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
Since we could only help out by buying one between the two of us.
Right?
Yeah.
That's why she lost.
Eh? Don't say such things.
Thank you very much.
You must be disappointed, huh.
Yes.
One of the girls at my company said she had won a ticket.
Is that right.
Yeah.
Well, since that toothpaste is my all time favorite...
...however many I have doesn't bother me at all.
Thank you very much.
Hmm... I've made too many riceballs. Want some?
I'll have them!
Well, Yuri-chan ain't comin' round anymore.
Recently it's been "Yuri-chan this, Yuri-chan that." All you talk about is Yuri-chan.
Ah, that's right, that's right. Did you get those Beatles tickets?
Yeah, since my Senpai has some connections, I did get them.
How about you?
My Dad got some somehow.
At his first try.
I see.
I see...
I didn't win...
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm sure it'll be a historic day. I just have to see this.
Right?
It will be sunny across the entire nation.
Since there will be a tropical cyclone in Japan's southern seas...
Muneo-san, I'm sorry. I wasn't able to win a ticket to see the Beatles.
...there is a possibility that it will turn into a typhoon in the future.
That was the weather forecast.
Well then, there are only nine days left until their highly expected arrival to Japan.
The songs The Beatles will be...
Thank ya, Mineko.
I had no luck at all here, either.
Heartbreaking...
Thanks for the meal.
Thank you very much.
The Beatles would be coming to Japan in just three more days.
Yo, Mineko, thanks fer yer hard work.
Whaa! Muneo-san!
Yo!
"Yo"?! Why are you here?
I came.
Ah, could it be, could it be? Did you get a ticket?
No... Ah, thanks, Mineko.
I entered dat contest too, but had no luck at all.
Geez, and it were a whole lotta trouble just gettin' ahold of dat toothpaste over der, too.
I give up.
I see...
Eh? You came even without a ticket?
Yeah. I couldn't sit still. I couldn't stand it no more.
So I'll do dis fer now.
Is that right.
Dis is yer apartment complex?
Yeah, it is...
Yeah. It's a nice place, ain't it?
Right?
Well...
I see. Okay, let's go.
Well, it took so long gettin' here on dis guy...
...that it's become night. I'm exhausted.
Bring dat.
What are ya doin'? Hurry it up.
Good even'!
Hold on a minute!
Excuse me.
Ah... um... My uncle has come...
I'm her uncle.
Wait, geez! Don't joke around, Muneo-san!
Don't worry; leave dis ta me.
Since I heard lots 'bout her from yer letters, it'll be okay.
Eh?
Mineko is very indebted ta ya.
I'm her uncle, Koiwai Muneo.
Such strange hair... Is that a wig?
Eh?
Huh? Ain't no way it could be.
Give it a pull.
Ow! Ya did dat seriously...
There's no hope for this world.
And...
Is der a vacancy here?
Till The Beatles leave Tokyo...
...I thought I'd stay here in Tokyo.
Eh? Really? Will that be okay?
It'll be okay. It won't be okay, but it'll be okay.
Please, granny.
Don't go calling her "granny"!
Why not?
"Why not"? Call her "Tomi-san."
Really? Hmm...
Tomi-san's a good name.
Ah, like that famous one in Kan'ichi. Otomi.
Ya know, da "Golden Demoness" of Atami. Right!
That's "Omiya"!
Geez, Muneo-san!
Um...
Ah, that's right, that's right.
I fergot da most important thing.
Geez! It's so amazing, ya'll be surprized.
This is Shiso manju.
(a type of mint leaf)
This is plum yokan.
(bean jelly)
Shimi konyaku, podded peas.
(pressed vegetables)
Whaa!

'Cause dey're home-made. Right, Mineko?
Yeah... They're really and truly delicious!
Are you sure?
Eh? Where's dis go?
