1. When people finish their day
Copy !req
2. and hurry home,
Copy !req
3. my day starts.
Copy !req
4. My diner is open from midnight
Copy !req
5. to seven in the morning.
Copy !req
6. They call it "Midnight Diner."
Copy !req
7. Do I even have customers?
Copy !req
8. More than you would expect.
Copy !req
9. Once it starts to get cold,
Copy !req
10. Shigemi knits a new sweater every year.
Copy !req
11. You're so good.
Copy !req
12. I'm just used to it.
Copy !req
13. A gift for your boyfriend?
Copy !req
14. Boyfriend? Kind of.
Copy !req
15. To tell you the truth,
she knits one
Copy !req
16. for a different "boyfriend" each time.
Copy !req
17. Here is your tonteki.
Copy !req
18. These days it's rare to see
Copy !req
19. someone knitting in a public place.
Copy !req
20. You're right about that.
Copy !req
21. Welcome.
Copy !req
22. Mr. Ichihara!
Copy !req
23. Hi, Ms. Suzuki. How are you?
Copy !req
24. Well. Thank you.
Copy !req
25. Is he your friend?
Copy !req
26. This is Mr. Ichihara,
an interior designer.
Copy !req
27. He recently opened his office
in this area.
Copy !req
28. Ms. Suzuki recommended this joint to me.
Copy !req
29. Two pork soup combos, please.
Copy !req
30. - A smaller size for me.
- Sure thing.
Copy !req
31. This is Ms. Suzuki, a realtor
who helped me find the office.
Copy !req
32. Thank you for finding
such a great property.
Copy !req
33. I was just doing my job.
Copy !req
34. Why don't we ask her
to find our condo, too?
Copy !req
35. That's a good idea.
Copy !req
36. We are planning to live near my office.
Can you find one for us?
Copy !req
37. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
38. Why?
Copy !req
39. Here.
Copy !req
40. Don't tell me...
Copy !req
41. this was for that guy.
Copy !req
42. Obviously, I'm just a realtor
for Mr. Ichihara.
Copy !req
43. Were you knitting it for a man
who isn't even your boyfriend?
Copy !req
44. You didn't even know
that he had a girlfriend?
Copy !req
45. It was very premature.
Copy !req
46. It's fine. I'm used to it!
Copy !req
47. Think she'll be okay?
Copy !req
48. She was so shocked.
Copy !req
49. Don't worry.
Copy !req
50. Are you sure?
Copy !req
51. Shigemi looks fragile,
Copy !req
52. but she's resilient.
Copy !req
53. I was right.
Copy !req
54. About ten days later...
Copy !req
55. It's open.
Copy !req
56. Hello!
Copy !req
57. Here you go.
Copy !req
58. Thank you.
Copy !req
59. He'll make you whatever you want,
so ask for anything.
Copy !req
60. As long as I have the ingredients for it.
Copy !req
61. Kurihara, Yoshida and Shirano.
Copy !req
62. They're younger colleagues of mine.
Copy !req
63. Did you know, Master?
Copy !req
64. Kurihara is from Yokkaichi,
and tonteki is his favorite food.
Copy !req
65. I hear that Yokkaichi
is famous for tonteki.
Copy !req
66. Yes, the meat has several slits,
Copy !req
67. and the thick sauce is unique.
Copy !req
68. My sauce is light,
so I don't know if you'll like it or not.
Copy !req
69. I'd like to try it.
Copy !req
70. How about you, Yoshida?
Copy !req
71. Sorry, I don't eat anything after nine,
so I don't gain weight.
Copy !req
72. I see.
Copy !req
73. And you, Shirano?
Copy !req
74. I will have tonteki, too.
Copy !req
75. - Then three tontekis, please.
- Got it.
Copy !req
76. Cheers.
Copy !req
77. Cheers.
Copy !req
78. Ms. Suzuki, you like to knit?
Copy !req
79. Ever since I was little.
Copy !req
80. I like women who can knit.
They look quite feminine.
Copy !req
81. I'd like to learn it, then.
Copy !req
82. Ms. Suzuki, can you teach me?
Copy !req
83. Here you go.
Copy !req
84. Like it?
Copy !req
85. I see.
Copy !req
86. Yokkaichi's tonteki goes well with rice.
Copy !req
87. Yours is perfect for drinks.
Copy !req
88. Actually, can I have rice?
Copy !req
89. Sure.
Copy !req
90. Rice with this?
You'll gain weight for sure.
Copy !req
91. I guess Shigemi's current love interest...
Copy !req
92. is this guy.
Copy !req
93. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
94. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
95. I'm going home.
Copy !req
96. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
97. - Kurihara.
- Yes?
Copy !req
98. For you.
Copy !req
99. Really?
Copy !req
100. I hope it's your size.
Copy !req
101. Perfect.
Copy !req
102. Can I really have it?
Copy !req
103. I've wanted a sweater like this.
Copy !req
104. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
105. And? What was his reaction?
Copy !req
106. I think he likes it.
Copy !req
107. But I don't feel
like it makes us any closer.
Copy !req
108. Did you tell him how you felt
when you gave it to him?
Copy !req
109. But he accepted the gift.
Copy !req
110. That means he probably accepted
my feelings, too. Right?
Copy !req
111. Am I right?
Copy !req
112. Men wouldn't be excited
Copy !req
113. about a handmade sweater
from someone
Copy !req
114. whom they're not interested in.
Copy !req
115. But he accepted it.
Copy !req
116. Which means
he accepted her love, right?
Copy !req
117. Come on.
Copy !req
118. Knitting a sweater to grab his attention?
Copy !req
119. You're beating around the bush.
Copy !req
120. Why don't you just say, "I love you"?
Copy !req
121. You're not a teen anymore.
Copy !req
122. Not everyone's mentally tough
like you are, Rumi.
Copy !req
123. It's like fracturing a bone.
Copy !req
124. Once it heals, that part gets tougher.
Copy !req
125. What do you mean?
Copy !req
126. Welcome.
Copy !req
127. What does Kurihara think about me?
Copy !req
128. Can you ask him casually?
Copy !req
129. You want me to ask?
Copy !req
130. You're the only one I can rely on.
Copy !req
131. Sure.
Copy !req
132. I'll ask him.
Copy !req
133. I appreciate it.
Copy !req
134. Excuse me, Ms. Suzuki.
Copy !req
135. Yes?
Copy !req
136. Well...
Copy !req
137. in return for that,
Copy !req
138. will you teach me how to knit?
Copy !req
139. What?
Copy !req
140. I'd like to knit a scarf.
Copy !req
141. Okay, but...
Copy !req
142. Is it a gift for someone?
Copy !req
143. Is it difficult to knit a scarf?
Copy !req
144. Not at all. Don't worry.
Copy !req
145. The important thing is your heart.
Copy !req
146. She will be so happy
if you give it to her.
Copy !req
147. Here you go.
Copy !req
148. - Enjoy the meal.
- Yes.
Copy !req
149. I see. A scarf, huh?
Copy !req
150. How old is she?
Copy !req
151. She is about your age.
Copy !req
152. I'm so clumsy.
Copy !req
153. I think you're good with your hands.
Copy !req
154. When I was in elementary school,
Copy !req
155. I wrote in an essay
that my favorite food is tonteki.
Copy !req
156. So, a boy I liked started calling me
"Pig Girl who likes tonteki."
Copy !req
157. I was overweight back then.
Copy !req
158. I have low self esteem.
Copy !req
159. Whenever I like someone,
I knit a sweater, or a scarf.
Copy !req
160. In most cases,
I don't even give it to him.
Copy !req
161. By the way, did you ask him?
Copy !req
162. What?
Copy !req
163. Right.
Copy !req
164. I think...
Copy !req
165. Kurihara doesn't like...
Copy !req
166. the color of the sweater
you gave him.
Copy !req
167. But...
Copy !req
168. he wears it at home.
Copy !req
169. He's a nice guy.
Copy !req
170. So, he couldn't tell you
that it wasn't his favorite color.
Copy !req
171. Is that right?
Copy !req
172. He should have told me that.
I wouldn't be hurt.
Copy !req
173. What is his favorite color, then?
Copy !req
174. I see. The issue was the color, huh?
Copy !req
175. How about this one?
Copy !req
176. Or...
Copy !req
177. maybe a brighter color?
Copy !req
178. Welcome.
Copy !req
179. This is your first time coming alone.
Copy !req
180. Right.
Copy !req
181. Have you finished the scarf?
Copy !req
182. I lied about that.
Copy !req
183. What?
Copy !req
184. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
185. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
186. Hey, Shirano. Do you have a moment?
Copy !req
187. I've been going out with Yoshida.
Copy !req
188. Oh really?
Copy !req
189. And...
Copy !req
190. Ms. Suzuki gave this to me.
Copy !req
191. Yoshida ripped it
to see how strong it was.
Copy !req
192. Women are nasty.
Copy !req
193. So...
Copy !req
194. Can you throw it away for me?
Copy !req
195. Really?
Copy !req
196. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
197. A handmade sweater carries
Copy !req
198. so much emotion.
Copy !req
199. I can't do it myself.
Copy !req
200. What are you doing?
Copy !req
201. It's just trash.
Copy !req
202. I'm disappointed in myself.
Copy !req
203. Ms. Suzuki confided in me.
Copy !req
204. I knew I should tell her the truth,
Copy !req
205. but I couldn't.
Copy !req
206. She's...
Copy !req
207. knitting another sweater for Kurihara.
Copy !req
208. I feel so bad.
Copy !req
209. Then...
Copy !req
210. the reason for making a scarf was...
Copy !req
211. I wanted to repair the sweater myself.
Copy !req
212. That's why I learned how to knit.
Copy !req
213. I know she didn't knit it for me, but...
Copy !req
214. it's made with Ms. Suzuki's love.
Copy !req
215. What now?
Copy !req
216. Will you...
Copy !req
217. stick to the lie?
Copy !req
218. Welcome.
Copy !req
219. Ms. Suzuki?
Copy !req
220. Kurihara.
Why are you here?
Copy !req
221. Shirano asked me to come here
and talk to him.
Copy !req
222. He asked me to come, too.
Copy !req
223. Would you like to sit?
Copy !req
224. Why are you wearing that?
Copy !req
225. Kurihara gave it to me.
Copy !req
226. Kurihara is dating Yoshida.
Copy !req
227. Why are you...?
Copy !req
228. Is that so?
Copy !req
229. Come on, Kurihara.
Copy !req
230. You should have told me that.
Copy !req
231. Ms. Suzuki.
Copy !req
232. What can I say?
Copy !req
233. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
234. Ms. Shigemi!
Copy !req
235. This sweater...
Copy !req
236. is warm...
Copy !req
237. and very comfy.
Copy !req
238. I really like it.
Copy !req
239. So what?
Copy !req
240. So...
Copy !req
241. I don't care about the sweater anymore!
Copy !req
242. Shigemi or Shirano
Copy !req
243. didn't come back for a while after that.
Copy !req
244. Come in. This way.
Copy !req
245. It's bigger than I expected.
Copy !req
246. We can have a dining table here.
Copy !req
247. The TV would be there?
Copy !req
248. - It's perfect for two of us, but...
- What?
Copy !req
249. I'm thinking about a kid.
Copy !req
250. Have you been drinking alone?
Copy !req
251. I quit knitting.
Copy !req
252. I realized that...
Copy !req
253. it's strange to give
Copy !req
254. a handmade sweater to someone
I'm not even dating.
Copy !req
255. It was silly of me to get excited.
Copy !req
256. I'm such an idiot.
Copy !req
257. I don't know.
Copy !req
258. The other day...
Copy !req
259. Shirano...
Copy !req
260. came here by himself.
Copy !req
261. He sat there...
Copy !req
262. and was repairing the sweater.
Copy !req
263. Right up here...
Copy !req
264. there was a hole.
Copy !req
265. He was not good at knitting.
Copy !req
266. And I felt bad for him.
Copy !req
267. He said,
"it's made with Ms. Suzuki's love."
Copy !req
268. He worked so hard to fix it.
Copy !req
269. That can't be true.
Copy !req
270. What is this feeling?
Copy !req
271. What...
Copy !req
272. is this feeling?
Copy !req
273. What is this feeling?
Copy !req
274. What is this feeling?
Copy !req
275. Shigemi?
Copy !req
276. Are you okay?
Copy !req
277. What the hell is this feeling?
Copy !req
278. Are you okay?
Copy !req
279. Ms. Suzuki?
Copy !req
280. Shirano...
Copy !req
281. I thought...
Copy !req
282. that I only liked handsome guys.
Copy !req
283. Well, how do I say it?
What I mean is...
Copy !req
284. Well... you...
Copy !req
285. fixed my sweater.
Copy !req
286. Master told me about it.
Copy !req
287. So...
Copy !req
288. I was moved by your affection.
Copy !req
289. No, that's not right.
Copy !req
290. - What I'm trying to say is...
- I love you.
Copy !req
291. I love you,
Copy !req
292. Ms. Shigemi.
Copy !req
293. I love you, too.
Copy !req
294. If you cover pork with flour,
Copy !req
295. it sucks up the sauce well.
Copy !req
296. After adding the sauce to the pan,
drop in the grated onion.
Copy !req
297. It adds great depth
Copy !req
298. to the light sauce.
Copy !req
299. Ms. Shigemi.
Copy !req
300. What are you making?
Copy !req
301. Underwear.
Copy !req
302. It looks so warm.
Copy !req
303. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
