1. When people finish their day
and hurry home,
Copy !req
2. my day starts.
Copy !req
3. My diner is open from midnight
to seven in the morning.
Copy !req
4. They call it "Midnight Diner."
Copy !req
5. Do I even have customers?
Copy !req
6. More than you would expect.
Copy !req
7. Master, I got everything.
Copy !req
8. Thank you.
Copy !req
9. What took you so long?
Copy !req
10. This is Serao Kesera,
a master comedian in Asakusa.
Copy !req
11. He suddenly requested pancakes,
Copy !req
12. so he made his ex-assistant Hajime
go out to buy the ingredients.
Copy !req
13. Hey.
Copy !req
14. Hajime has become popular as a TV actor.
Copy !req
15. I hear that he is more popular
than his master.
Copy !req
16. - Here you go.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
17. This is for you, Hajime.
Copy !req
18. I didn't have a regular sausage,
so I used fish sausage.
Copy !req
19. I had extra batter,
so I made this for you.
Copy !req
20. Thank you. It looks delicious.
Copy !req
21. Wait. Give it to me.
Copy !req
22. No.
Copy !req
23. - Why not?
- Because I love corn dogs.
Copy !req
24. Oh, come on, Hajime. Please.
Copy !req
25. Let's switch.
Copy !req
26. You wanted a pancake,
so I went out to buy the ingredients.
Copy !req
27. I changed my mind. Okay?
Copy !req
28. - No way.
- Then just a bite.
Copy !req
29. - One bite.
- No.
Copy !req
30. You!
Copy !req
31. I'm asking nicely,
and that's how you treat me?
Copy !req
32. Who do you think helped you
become an actor?
Copy !req
33. Don't fret over just a corn dog.
Copy !req
34. Why get so upset over a corn dog?
Your pancake is getting—
Copy !req
35. Hey! No, stop!
Copy !req
36. Hajime, give it to him.
Copy !req
37. I'll make a new one for you.
Copy !req
38. That's not the point.
Copy !req
39. He always behaves like this.
Copy !req
40. The fish sausage is a nice touch.
Copy !req
41. Master, this is delicious.
Copy !req
42. My corn dog became his favorite.
Copy !req
43. Since then, Serao often comes
to my place by himself.
Copy !req
44. - Hey.
- Welcome.
Copy !req
45. - He's here.
- Master comedian!
Copy !req
46. Many of my customers are his fans.
Copy !req
47. They get excited whenever he comes.
Copy !req
48. Master, a corn dog, please.
Copy !req
49. - Me, too.
- Me, three.
Copy !req
50. Sure.
Copy !req
51. Even though she's way past her prime,
Copy !req
52. she still got it going on.
Copy !req
53. As I poked her from the back...
Copy !req
54. Just like that.
Copy !req
55. So it got me going.
Copy !req
56. I tried to fondle her boobs.
Copy !req
57. I reached around.
Copy !req
58. Her ripened breasts...
Copy !req
59. were soft and moist.
Fit nicely in my palm.
Copy !req
60. Then she suddenly said,
Copy !req
61. "What are you trying to touch?"
Copy !req
62. "Your boob, of course."
Copy !req
63. "That's not where they are.
My boobs are higher."
Copy !req
64. Turned out, what I was fondling
Copy !req
65. was the old woman's love handles!
Copy !req
66. No dirty jokes in front of ladies.
Copy !req
67. Come on, babe. You like it, don't you?
Copy !req
68. That's sexual harassment.
Copy !req
69. Calm down, Rumi.
This is a part of his material.
Copy !req
70. Material?
Copy !req
71. You don't know him? Mr. Serao Kesera.
Copy !req
72. Some call him the last master comedian
of Asakusa.
Copy !req
73. I always watched your stand-up comedy
on TV when I was a kid.
Copy !req
74. Really?
Copy !req
75. You know Hajime Moriwaki, a TV actor,
right?
Copy !req
76. Yes, I know him.
Copy !req
77. He used to be an assistant
of this master comedian.
Copy !req
78. It's nothing.
Copy !req
79. Hajime Moriwaki.
A good-looking guy, isn't he?
Copy !req
80. And he's funny. I like his
choice of words.
Copy !req
81. Good-looking and funny?
That's a perfect man.
Copy !req
82. Well, unfortunately,
Copy !req
83. his "boy" is not impressive at all.
Copy !req
84. Does Hajime Moriwaki have a son?
Copy !req
85. That's not what he means.
Copy !req
86. A perfect one is called
a thousand earthworms.
Copy !req
87. But his is like a single earthworm.
Copy !req
88. It's not long. It's not hard.
Copy !req
89. God doesn't give two gifts.
Now I believe in God.
Copy !req
90. Have you seen it?
Copy !req
91. I saw it when he washed my back
at a bathhouse.
Copy !req
92. What?
Copy !req
93. You can tell whether it's long or not
at a bathhouse.
Copy !req
94. But how do you tell, if it's soft or hard?
Copy !req
95. How about yours?
Copy !req
96. Some call mine the Anaconda of Asakusa.
Copy !req
97. A very elusive anaconda.
Copy !req
98. I had a heart attack.
Copy !req
99. Luckily I survived it.
Do you know what caused it? Viagra.
Copy !req
100. Yup. That was it.
Copy !req
101. It's not good for my heart.
Copy !req
102. But you know, at my age,
I really need it.
Copy !req
103. See, right here.
Copy !req
104. Otherwise, my "boy" wouldn't work.
Copy !req
105. So, now I'm risking my life to make love.
Copy !req
106. Shakespeare once said,
Copy !req
107. "To do or to die. That is the question."
Copy !req
108. My "boy" is very active
only when I wake up.
Copy !req
109. Good job, sir.
Copy !req
110. - Good job.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
111. Hello.
Copy !req
112. - Hey, TV actor.
- How are you?
Copy !req
113. - Did you see my show?
- Yes.
Copy !req
114. I came since I hadn't in a while.
Copy !req
115. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
116. It's very sweet of you to say that.
Copy !req
117. - Let's go eat something.
- Sure.
Copy !req
118. Wait for a moment, okay?
Copy !req
119. - Are you ready? Say "cheese."
- Is everything in the frame?
Copy !req
120. It's blurry. One more time.
Copy !req
121. Excuse us.
Copy !req
122. Excuse me.
Are you Mr. Hajime Moriwaki?
Copy !req
123. - Yes.
- Lucky me!
Copy !req
124. Can I have your autograph?
Copy !req
125. Can we take a picture?
Copy !req
126. - Sure.
- I love your shows.
Copy !req
127. - Would you?
- Me?
Copy !req
128. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
129. - Are you ready?
- Thank you.
Copy !req
130. Get ready.
Copy !req
131. Yes. Get a nice one.
Copy !req
132. - Here you go.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
133. Let's go now.
Copy !req
134. Excuse me.
Can we get your autograph, too?
Copy !req
135. Sure.
Copy !req
136. This one.
Copy !req
137. Please. Thank you.
Copy !req
138. Thank you.
Copy !req
139. Sir, can you get a taxi?
Copy !req
140. Okay. I got it.
Copy !req
141. Hey. Here. Right here.
Copy !req
142. Girls, sorry.
Copy !req
143. He must go now.
Copy !req
144. Sorry about that. See you soon.
Copy !req
145. What was that?
Copy !req
146. I should be the main attraction.
Copy !req
147. Come on. You should be proud of him.
Copy !req
148. Your pupil has become such a big star.
Copy !req
149. A handsome face matters most?
Copy !req
150. Men should be judged by skills.
Copy !req
151. Don't blame me. I didn't choose this face.
Copy !req
152. - Then let's switch faces.
- Absolutely not.
Copy !req
153. What did you say, bastard?
Copy !req
154. "Absolutely not"? That's so mean.
You are an asshole.
Copy !req
155. What a baby!
Copy !req
156. You've got a handful.
Copy !req
157. You do, too.
Copy !req
158. Miyoko...
Copy !req
159. don't you like younger men?
Copy !req
160. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
161. What do you mean?
Copy !req
162. Nothing.
Copy !req
163. You don't have the guts.
Copy !req
164. Hello?
Copy !req
165. I need a car.
Copy !req
166. Hey, that person over there.
Is that Hajime Moriwaki?
Copy !req
167. - You recognize him? He's famous, huh?
- Who?
Copy !req
168. A TV actor. He's very popular nowadays.
Copy !req
169. I don't watch TV at all.
Copy !req
170. Serao Kesera?
Copy !req
171. - You're here. I knew it.
- Good evening, sir.
Copy !req
172. "Good evening"? You asshole.
Copy !req
173. - What's the matter?
- You...
Copy !req
174. You slept with Miyoko, didn't you?
Copy !req
175. Yes.
Copy !req
176. - You said "yes"?
- That's right.
Copy !req
177. A pupil sleeps with his master's woman?
Copy !req
178. What planet are you from? You asshole!
Copy !req
179. Ouch!
Copy !req
180. You always take my stuff, too.
Copy !req
181. What? Shut up!
Copy !req
182. You, bastard!
Copy !req
183. Please stop.
Copy !req
184. - Are you okay?
- Don't touch me!
Copy !req
185. Your wiener is so small...
Copy !req
186. that it would belong in
a kindergartener's lunch box.
Copy !req
187. How could you carry such a small mushroom?
Copy !req
188. Get up, you asshole!
Copy !req
189. Say it again. I'll kill you.
Copy !req
190. You know what Miyoko said?
Copy !req
191. She said she slept with you,
Copy !req
192. but your penis is so small that she
couldn't tell if it was in or not.
Copy !req
193. - That's it! I'll kill you!
- Shut up!
Copy !req
194. Hey, that's enough.
Copy !req
195. Fighting shall be taken outside.
That's the house rule.
Copy !req
196. Hajime.
Copy !req
197. You are expelled.
Copy !req
198. I'm done anyway.
Copy !req
199. After that,
Copy !req
200. Serao started drinking heavily.
Copy !req
201. More alcohol.
Copy !req
202. - Hello, sir. How are you?
- How are you, sir?
Copy !req
203. Master Serao, it's time.
Copy !req
204. - Your turn is coming up.
- Shut up!
Copy !req
205. Sir? Where are you going?
Copy !req
206. Here you go.
Copy !req
207. I'm sorry about the other day.
Copy !req
208. That was immature of me.
Copy !req
209. Have you seen Serao since then?
Copy !req
210. No, I haven't.
Copy !req
211. He's been on the bottle these days.
Copy !req
212. He often gets dead drunk.
Copy !req
213. I suspect that he may not
be working anymore.
Copy !req
214. Nobody likes him.
Copy !req
215. There are things you have to keep
to yourself as human.
Copy !req
216. He doesn't understand the boundaries.
Copy !req
217. Out of the mouth comes evil.
It describes him perfectly.
Copy !req
218. He got drunk and missed his gig.
Copy !req
219. Well...
Copy !req
220. it may be time for him to retire.
Copy !req
221. Some say that we should know when to quit.
Copy !req
222. He was so cool.
Copy !req
223. I...
Copy !req
224. used to be a martial artist.
Copy !req
225. I was very serious about it.
Copy !req
226. I was pretty good...
Copy !req
227. but I injured my eye.
Copy !req
228. Detached retina.
Copy !req
229. I suddenly lost my purpose in life.
Copy !req
230. I felt that I was worthless.
Copy !req
231. I was in terrible shape.
Copy !req
232. Then...
Copy !req
233. I met him by accident.
Copy !req
234. In Asakusa?
Copy !req
235. Yes. In a bar.
Copy !req
236. I had no money, or a place to go.
He paid for everything.
Copy !req
237. When I woke up, I was backstage.
Copy !req
238. That's when I saw his stand-up
for the first time.
Copy !req
239. Once he got paid after the show,
he said, "let's go out to drink."
Copy !req
240. I was intrigued by the way
he lived his life.
Copy !req
241. I suddenly felt so much better.
Copy !req
242. The next day,
I asked him to let me be his assistant.
Copy !req
243. Then...
Copy !req
244. it may be your turn.
Copy !req
245. For whatever he did for you,
Copy !req
246. why not return the favor?
Copy !req
247. Another beer, please.
Copy !req
248. Sure.
Copy !req
249. - Mr. Kinzo!
- Listen.
Copy !req
250. I have less than half a year left.
Copy !req
251. Let me do you once. Be my last lady.
Copy !req
252. That's enough!
I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
Copy !req
253. This is Serao.
Copy !req
254. We were worried
since he hadn't shown up for a while.
Copy !req
255. But we started seeing him
on a late-night drama series.
Copy !req
256. He's good, isn't he?
Copy !req
257. He's only in one scene
every time, but he's still good.
Copy !req
258. His character is dying
but is still a sex maniac.
Copy !req
259. It's perfect for him.
Copy !req
260. Hello.
Copy !req
261. - Welcome.
- Here comes a great actor.
Copy !req
262. - Master comedian!
- Long time no see.
Copy !req
263. - Master, can I have a corn dog?
- Sure.
Copy !req
264. - I'll take your coat.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
265. We were worried about you
since you hadn't come for a while.
Copy !req
266. Sorry about that.
I've been very busy these days.
Copy !req
267. We watch your drama every week.
Copy !req
268. I'm so grateful.
Copy !req
269. You know that thing?
The bird thing?
Copy !req
270. - You mean Twitter.
- That's it.
Copy !req
271. Young fans use that
to comment on my acting.
Copy !req
272. Some of them even show up
to our comedy theater to see me.
Copy !req
273. Welcome.
Copy !req
274. - Beer, please.
- Sure.
Copy !req
275. Not only fans,
Copy !req
276. but a movie director
also saw my performance.
Copy !req
277. He wants me to play a role
in his new movie.
Copy !req
278. Awesome.
This must be the big break of your career.
Copy !req
279. I don't want to retire yet.
Copy !req
280. I must compete with young men
Copy !req
281. for jobs and women.
Copy !req
282. Here you go.
Copy !req
283. This is for you.
Copy !req
284. It's on Serao.
Copy !req
285. Hey, Master...
Copy !req
286. I have no reason to treat that jerk.
Copy !req
287. Well, you do have a reason.
Copy !req
288. Your drama gig...
Copy !req
289. was set up by Hajime.
Copy !req
290. You are lucky...
Copy !req
291. to have such a nice pupil.
Copy !req
292. Thank you.
Copy !req
293. Are you big enough
to influence the casting now?
Copy !req
294. That's not true.
It was just a slip of the tongue.
Copy !req
295. I'm too old to handle a lot of gigs.
Copy !req
296. I won't allow you to retire yet.
Copy !req
297. Are you sure about that?
Copy !req
298. Soon I will take all the gigs
away from you.
Copy !req
299. Really? Then try me.
Copy !req
300. Well, this is enough.
I'll take mercy on you for now.
Copy !req
301. Once the batter puffs up,
roll it with chopsticks.
Copy !req
302. That way you can fry it evenly.
Copy !req
303. The batter is good not just for sweets,
Copy !req
304. but also some other ingredients.
You should try it.
Copy !req
305. Here you go.
Copy !req
306. Deep-fried fish sausage. Bon appétit.
Copy !req
307. It's so good.
Copy !req
308. - Can I have some?
- What?
Copy !req
309. - Just a bite, please.
- No way.
Copy !req
310. Who do you think you are, asshole?
Copy !req
311. Good night.
Copy !req
312. Hey, give me some.
Copy !req
