46. Gale Elementary School 5th Grade

Copy !req
47. I've kept my eyes on Pootan since
three years ago, when he wasn't famous.
Copy !req
48. Since the content of the show
was a little surreal,
Copy !req
49. I was worried if it was going
to be popular among children,
Copy !req
50. but it seems like it took off successfully.
Copy !req
51. Though I believed that they would be a hit,
I'm overwhelmed with emotion by their success.
Copy !req
52. As a fan from when they were nobodies,
Copy !req
53. I'm happy to see that they're popular,
but I also feel lonely.
Copy !req
54. Pootan
Copy !req
55. And no matter how you look at these guys,
Copy !req
56. there's no way that they know
how funny Pootan really is.
Copy !req
57. I especially can't stand
that punk with the afro hairdo.
Copy !req
58. There's no way that he knows
anything about Pootan.
Copy !req
59. He makes me sick.
Copy !req
60. But still, I should feel genuinely happy
now that Pootan has become popular.
Copy !req
61. I'm happy for you, Pootan.
Copy !req
62. All I do is watch over you from the shadows.
That's enough for me.
Copy !req
63. Your face shows more confidence now, Pootan.
Copy !req
64. I don't see the inexperienced look
that you had when the show started.
Copy !req
65. I remember you were hesitant about your timing,
Copy !req
66. as you hadn't gotten the hang
of the character yet.
Copy !req
67. Okay, please stay in line, boys.
Copy !req
68. It'll be my turn soon. I'm a little nervous.
Copy !req
69. This is the first time that I'll see you in person.
Copy !req
70. How do you do, Pootan!
Copy !req
71. What? Somehow I feel something is different.
Copy !req
72. Well, they say that the actual looks
are different from TV images.
Copy !req
73. And I don't know much
about those things either, so...
Copy !req
74. Okay! One more time!
Copy !req
75. No, he looks totally different!
Copy !req
76. Besides, Pootan doesn't have
a mustache like that!
Copy !req
77. It's one thing to be a little different,
but being this different is going too far!

Copy !req
96. In any case, why isn't anybody
making a big stink about it?
Copy !req
97. Oh, yeah, I see. Everyone is being
deceived by that plush costume.
Copy !req
98. Well, they're transient fans, after all.
Copy !req
99. As long as the person
is wearing that plush costume,
Copy !req
100. they believe that it's Pootan,
no matter who's wearing it.
Copy !req
101. Pootan's also busy, so I'm sure there's times
that he has to have a substitute.
Copy !req
102. It's a little annoying, but it'd be
childish of me to get upset here right now.
Copy !req
103. All right, then, I'll pretend that he's Pootan.
Copy !req
104. But he took off the costume!
Copy !req
105. Okay, I see! He's Pootan, right?
I'll acknowledge that he's Pootan!
Copy !req
106. Yeah, that's right. He's Pootan and no mistake!
Copy !req
107. No matter how you look, he's Pootan!
Copy !req
108. The person who's signing is Pootan.
Copy !req
109. The person who's shaking
hands with me is Pootan.
Copy !req
110. And this is Pootan's autograph,
that I've dreamed of!
Copy !req
111. And who the hell is he?!
Copy !req
112. OX Productions
Copy !req
113. The phones have been ringing
off the hook since this morning
Copy !req
114. with complaints about the autograph sessions!
Copy !req
115. What?
Copy !req
116. Oh, here too?
Copy !req
117. That's why I said that you shouldn't ask
a guy like that to be your substitute!
Copy !req
118. There's no point crying over spilled milk, right?
Copy !req
119. Besides, yesterday we had autograph sessions
at twenty locations nationwide!
Copy !req
120. But that's how it is when you're popular, isn't it?
Copy !req
121. And there's a child in front of the office,
and he's making a big stink saying that
Copy !req
122. he was deceived by a mustached guy
at yesterday's autograph session.
Copy !req
123. Okay, then, I guess I have no choice.
Copy !req
124. Fine, then. Bring him right away!
Copy !req
125. Pardon me.
Copy !req
126. There was a mustached guy
at yesterday's autograph session.
Copy !req
127. What was that about?
Copy !req
128. What are you talking about, poo?
Copy !req
129. You seem to be making
some complaints about a mustache,
Copy !req
130. but as you can see, it was me
who was at that site yesterday.
Copy !req
131. You see? I have the mustache too, poo.
Copy !req
132. But you don't usually
wear mustache on TV, so why suddenly...
Copy !req
133. It's a joke, poo.
Copy !req
134. A joke?
Copy !req
135. But I feel that joke isn't very funny.
Copy !req
136. Now, if you understand, then hurry home, poo.
Copy !req
137. Was that really okay? You were
dealing with an innocent child.
Copy !req
138. This is how the world of show business works.
Copy !req
139. Substitutes are everyday things.
Copy !req
140. I'm somewhat kinder than others.
Copy !req
141. I know that, but I don't think
it's nice to deceive children.
Copy !req
142. Guys who are amused
by watching TV are all stupid.
Copy !req
143. They aren't interested in the content.
They just like the mood.
Copy !req
144. So they'll think that it's Pootan if we have
someone wear this plush costume.
Copy !req
145. It doesn't matter who wears it.
Copy !req
146. Well, I guess that means the case is closed now.
Copy !req
147. Now it's time for another episode
of the popular show Pootan!
Copy !req
148. My show got hijacked.
Copy !req
149. The audience was really cracking up again
at today's stage performance.
Copy !req
150. Your new performance style
seems to be a hit with them.
Copy !req
151. Usually a performance style is hard
to change once it takes root,
Copy !req
152. but you changed it splendidly.
Copy !req
153. Well, your performance style changed,
or rather everything has changed, right?
Copy !req
154. You changed so much that it's like
you're a totally different person,
Copy !req
155. or rather you're a different person...
or what should I say?
Copy !req
156. You're a different person, aren't you?!
Copy !req
157. Same time...
Copy !req
158. This has become a real mess.

180. Here, I'll make a snappy comeback,
so you'll have to do this.
Copy !req
181. They're rehearsing a joke!
Copy !req
182. Stop it! He's a fake!
Copy !req
183. What about it?
Copy !req
184. Good job. You can go home now.
Copy !req
185. We'll start at two tomorrow, so come here again.
Copy !req
186. Hey... What the hell is going on?
Copy !req
187. Enough with your bad jokes!
Copy !req
188. Since there's a new Pootan, I'll say this now.
I didn't like you that much.
Copy !req
189. Anyway, I'll be working with him.
Copy !req
190. Even if you accept such a thing,
the public won't accept it!
Copy !req
191. The public? The public has already
accepted him as Pootan.
Copy !req
192. He's got an even better reputation
than the previous one.
Copy !req
193. Isn't it the case that you think you're
more important than you really are?
Copy !req
194. Well, in short, it doesn't matter
who does Pootan.
Copy !req
195. What?!
Copy !req
196. His pay is cheaper than yours.
Copy !req
197. If his popularity remains the same,
the TV station will be happy to use him.
Copy !req
198. But he's quiet, as you can see.
Copy !req
199. No, he's more than just quiet.
He doesn't speak at all.
Copy !req
200. A surreal performance style
that tries to be different
Copy !req
201. will find some brief popularity
with the viewers, sure,
Copy !req
202. but it won't last long!
Copy !req
203. In the end, Pootan doesn't work without me!
Copy !req
204. If you're that confident,
why don't you go it alone?
Copy !req
205. What are you saying?!
Copy !req
206. Or are you saying that you can't do anything
without Pootan's name and plush costume?
Copy !req
207. You bastard! Don't get carried away!
Copy !req
208. You're an eyesore. Get lost!
Copy !req
209. Oh? What are you doing in here?
Copy !req
210. The show's already on!
Copy !req
211. The show?
Copy !req
212. But we're both here.
Copy !req
213. Now it's time for another episode
of the popular show Pootan!
Copy !req
214. What's with you, Freddie?!
What are you doing in a place like this?
Copy !req
215. We were both replaced.
Copy !req
216. Destrade High School Year 1 Boss
Noboru Yamaguchi
Copy !req
217. That's...
Copy !req
218. Pootan's plush costume, isn't it?!
Copy !req
219. Why the hell is he in the middle of town?
Copy !req
220. Moreover, I've seen that
mustached face somewhere.
Copy !req
221. I've become a fan lately.
I went to his autograph session too.
Copy !req
222. Hey, you. Would you let me
feel that plush costume?
Copy !req
223. You bastard! Are you trying
to pick a fight with me?!
Copy !req
224. Poo.
Copy !req
225. lt's Pootan!
Copy !req
226. Hey, if you think I'm just a funny youngster,
you're in for some pain.
Copy !req
227. Say something, moron!
Copy !req
228. It's good to feel
this kind of tension once in a while.
Copy !req
229. lt's a big mistake to think
I'm always doing comedy.
Copy !req
230. Hey, look at that. That guy
is talking to a plush animal.
Copy !req
231. That's funny. Let's watch!
Copy !req
232. Oh, no!
Copy !req
233. Crap... I'm trying to be serious,
but I made people laugh.
Copy !req
234. It seems that I was born with comic talent.
Copy !req
235. Oh, there he is!
Copy !req
236. Freddie!
Copy !req
237. Geez, what are you doing, bothering everyone?
Copy !req
238. You should take off that
plush costume right away.
Copy !req
239. Hey, hold on a second. What's all this?
Copy !req
240. I'll explain.
Copy !req
241. Actually, for various reasons,
Copy !req
242. Various reasons = the story so far
Copy !req
243. I was hoping that Freddie'd return
at least the plush costume to me.
Copy !req
244. Now return it to me.
Copy !req
245. Does he still resist?
Copy !req
246. I think you're partially
responsible for what's happening.
Copy !req
247. What?
Copy !req
248. He's a pure man.
Copy !req
249. He probably got into Pootan's role
as a result of fulfilling his duty.
Copy !req
250. Didn't this happen because
you cut corners on your job
Copy !req
251. by using a substitute at the autograph session?
Copy !req
252. Indeed, you may be right, but
what more do you want me to do?
Copy !req
253. The answer is easy.
Copy !req
254. In the end, he's the fake one
and you're the real one.
Copy !req
255. If you show the difference clearly, he'll withdraw.
Copy !req
256. Please show something!
Copy !req
257. Are you telling me to do
a quick performance here?
Copy !req
258. You're a pro comedian, right?
There must be something you can do!
Copy !req
259. No, I don't have any
quick gags that I can do, so...
Copy !req
260. Don't lie!
Copy !req
261. Back when you debuted
and weren't yet popular,
Copy !req
262. you were doing quick gags, weren't you?
Copy !req
263. But they weren't popular at all.
Copy !req
264. Since you came up against the wall of comedy,
Copy !req
265. you switched to the plush animal
performance of Pootan and succeeded.
Copy !req
266. Do that one!
Copy !req
267. What? You remember that?
I've already forgotten that stuff.
Copy !req
268. If I remember it right, wasn't it like this?
Put your hand on your forehead and...
Copy !req
269. Please stop it. I'm embarrassed
just remembering it!
Copy !req
270. I see. You want to put that past behind you.
I understand that mentality very well.
Copy !req
271. If you're embarrassed about such a thing,
it's as if we can see your end as a comedian.
Copy !req
272. What did you say?
Copy !req
273. Look. You're at a crucial moment right now,
Copy !req
274. where the important position of Pootan
may be taken away from you.
Copy !req
275. I don't feel that you're fighting fiercely for it.
Copy !req
276. Why don't you try once with the mindset
you had when you started?
Copy !req
277. Having a mind that doesn't fear shame
should bring you one step up as a comedian.
Copy !req
278. I see.
Copy !req
279. I understand. I'll return to the past
and show that performance.
Copy !req
280. You'll really do it?
Copy !req
281. Yeah, leave it to me!
Copy !req
282. You guys, prepare to laugh. Here we go!
Copy !req
283. It's 37.5 degrees.
Copy !req
284. Oh, he's already taken it off!
Copy !req
285. I bet he got bored, since
we kept going on and on.
