Copy !req
11. I'm so sorry.

Copy !req
13. I brought this for Mom.
Copy !req
14. Seven years later
Copy !req
15. Hey!
Copy !req
16. Let's go home.
The waves are too high.
Copy !req
17. Dad!
Copy !req
18. No luck again?
Copy !req
19. You don't understand.
Copy !req
20. I'm only after the big ones.
Copy !req
21. I prefer real-life girls
to imaginary big fish.
Copy !req
22. Well—
Copy !req
23. When you grow up
you'll understand.
Copy !req
24. It's called being romantic.
Copy !req
25. Hello?
Copy !req
26. Yes. The proposal is ready.
Copy !req
27. I'll bring it tomorrow.
Copy !req
28. Yes.
Copy !req
29. Hello?
Copy !req
30. I gotta go. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
31. This is too big for us.
Copy !req
32. We'll share it with Rie.
Copy !req
33. You haven't brought friends home lately.
Is everything okay?
Copy !req
34. Did you know all
black sea bream are born male?
Copy !req
35. What?
Copy !req
36. When they reach 15cm long,
they become hermaphrodites.
Copy !req
37. Then some become female.
Copy !req
38. I see.
Copy !req
39. What about this one?
Copy !req
40. Didn't you see the ovaries
when we cut it?
Copy !req
41. That's right.
Copy !req
42. I don't know much about ovaries.
Copy !req
43. Have you been feeling down
or something recently?
Copy !req
44. Why?
Copy !req
45. You look dispirited.
Copy !req
46. Gang.
Copy !req
47. Hey, Dad...
Copy !req
48. why don't you get remarried?
Copy !req
49. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
50. I just think you should.
Copy !req
51. Thanks for dinner.
Copy !req
52. It's your turn to wash the dishes.
Copy !req
53. Well...
Copy !req
54. It's like a ceremony for worshippers.
Copy !req
55. They're pretty much the same...
lonely people.
Copy !req
56. Happy people wouldn't go
to that kind of concert.
Copy !req
57. All Japanese are lonely.
Copy !req
58. AFB you?
Copy !req
59. You too?
Copy !req
60. Boss.
Copy !req
61. Ueno wants to change
tomorrow's meeting from 1:00 to 3:30.
Copy !req
62. Okay.
Copy !req
63. It doesn't matter to me.
I'll be here.
Copy !req
64. I'll drop in at Starts,
then meet Yoshikawa tonight.
Copy !req
65. I won't be back at the office.
Copy !req
66. If there are any changes,
I'll call you on your cell phone, then.
Copy !req
67. Okay.
Copy !req
68. - Excuse me.
- What?
Copy !req
69. I'm going to get married soon.
Copy !req
70. Really?
Copy !req
71. Congratulations.
Copy !req
72. To whom?
Copy !req
73. Someone you don't know.
Copy !req
74. Anyway, congratulations.
Copy !req
75. You're a busy man!
Copy !req
76. It's been all right,
but the profit margins are shrinking.
Copy !req
77. - How about you?
- Well...
Copy !req
78. Didn't you know?
Copy !req
79. The movie industry
is recession-proof.
Copy !req
80. - Really?
' rm lying,
Copy !req
81. It's a survival game,
or a test of endurance.
Copy !req
82. What's your outlook?
Copy !req
83. Seems like there is
a bright future ahead.
Copy !req
84. But I don't know
how long we should wait.
Copy !req
85. Yoshikawa...
Copy !req
86. didn't you say the same thing
a year ago?
Copy !req
87. Did I?
Copy !req
88. Awful girls.
Copy !req
89. No class and stuck up.
Copy !req
90. Stupid as well.
Copy !req
91. Where are all the attractive girls?
Copy !req
92. Japan is finished.
Give me another one.
Copy !req
93. Well...
Copy !req
94. I'm thinking about getting remarried.
Copy !req
95. What made you decide to do that?
Copy !req
96. - To whom?
- I haven't got a girl yet.
Copy !req
97. My son told me...
Copy !req
98. that I looked dispirited
and I should get remarried.
Copy !req
99. That's the story.
Copy !req
100. Look dispirited, huh?
Copy !req
101. So, how are you going to look for one?
An arranged marriage?
Copy !req
102. No, that's not my style.
Copy !req
103. I wish there was a very nice woman
hiding somewhere.
Copy !req
104. What kind of girl are you looking for?
Preferably young?
Copy !req
105. Not too young.
Copy !req
106. Possibly she has a job
Copy !req
107. and has some skills.
Copy !req
108. Skills?
Copy !req
109. For example,
playing the piano, singing,
Copy !req
110. or Japanese dance.
Copy !req
111. Your wife Ryoko was like that.
Copy !req
112. I believe that confidence comes
only from having decent skills.
Copy !req
113. Lack of confidence
makes you dependent on someone,
Copy !req
114. and that brings unhappiness.
Copy !req
115. Pianist, huh?
Copy !req
116. It'll cost you a lot.
Copy !req
117. She doesn't have to be
a successful professional.
Copy !req
118. I don't want to fail
at marriage at my age.
Copy !req
119. I'd like to have enough time
to get to know her.
Copy !req
120. I want to meet
as many girls as possible
Copy !req
121. and choose my ideal one.
Copy !req
122. What are you laughing at?
Copy !req
123. Am I expecting too much?
Copy !req
124. I probably am.
Copy !req
125. No. Just leave it to me.
Copy !req
126. I have a good idea.
Copy !req
127. Conduct an audition.
Copy !req
128. "Looking for Love"
Copy !req
129. It'll be a romantic story.
Copy !req
130. Remember the documentary
we made before?
Copy !req
131. It was about a former dancer,
a patron, and an autistic boy.
Copy !req
132. The one where we teamed up
with the German TV station?
Copy !req
133. It's based on the story.
Copy !req
134. Any problems?
Copy !req
135. Well... but...
Copy !req
136. Well...
Copy !req
137. Are we really going
to hold an audition?
Copy !req
138. Trust me.
Copy !req
139. Have I ever disappointed you?
Copy !req
140. But...
Copy !req
141. The heroine is supposed to be
in her early 20s to early 30s.
Copy !req
142. One of the requirements is
that she is skillful at something.
Copy !req
143. Any objections?
Copy !req
144. But don't you think
that would be fraudulent?
Copy !req
145. This audition is not only
for finding you a wife.
Copy !req
146. It's part of making a movie.
Copy !req
147. If we can find funding,
we can make the movie.
Copy !req
148. The story isn't bad.
Copy !req
149. Well...
Copy !req
150. Am I going to marry
the lead girl of this movie?
Copy !req
151. No.
Copy !req
152. Any girl who could get the lead
wouldn't marry you.
Copy !req
153. They aren't the marrying type.
Copy !req
154. Really good ones pass
the preliminary screening
Copy !req
155. and fail the second screening.
Copy !req
156. Really?
Copy !req
157. Those are about 10
of the 1,000 applicants.
Copy !req
158. They are quite attractive.
Copy !req
159. Smart and well-bred.
Copy !req
160. Obedient and well-trained.
Copy !req
161. The kind you'd want
your son to marry.
Copy !req
162. I don't get it.
Copy !req
163. Why can't she get the lead, then?
Copy !req
164. Because she won't be unhappy.
Copy !req
165. Unhappy people can act well.
Copy !req
166. One more thing.
Copy !req
167. I have a plan to work
with an FM station, so I'll combine this.
Copy !req
168. It's a program called
Tomorrow's Heroine.
Copy !req
169. Trust me.
Copy !req
170. I am a pro at auditions.
Copy !req
171. This is Yoshikawa.
Copy !req
172. I'm in room number two.
Copy !req
173. - Coffee?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
174. Is coffee okay for you?
Copy !req
175. Bring two coffees, please.
Copy !req
176. I'm in a middle of a traffic jam.
I might be late—
Copy !req
177. Can you hand that tape
to Mr. Kaneda? Yes.
Copy !req
178. Okay. Thanks.
Copy !req
179. Tomorrow's heroine,
Copy !req
180. I'm just wondering
where you are now.
Copy !req
181. Sometimes
unbelievable things do happen.
Copy !req
182. All you need to do
is gather your courage.
Copy !req
183. Every star has her defining moment,
Copy !req
184. even Hepburn and Julia Roberts.
Copy !req
185. They lived normal lives
before they became stars.
Copy !req
186. Tomorrow's heroines
are living just like you.
Copy !req
187. Tomorrow's heroine could be you.
Copy !req
188. I'm home.
Copy !req
189. - You're home early today.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
190. I have to work at home tonight.
Copy !req
191. Please heat up your dinner.
Copy !req
192. The bigger dish is for Shigehiko.
Copy !req
193. Okay.
Copy !req
194. I'll see you on Monday, then.
Copy !req
195. My daughter's going to visit me
with her children.
Copy !req
196. I have to go shopping.
Copy !req
197. - That's exciting.
- Hey, Gang.
Copy !req
198. Please put the laundry
in the hamper.
Copy !req
199. ' I I got to go.
- Okay.
Copy !req
200. - Thanks.
- Bye.
Copy !req
201. Hello. This is Aoyama.
Copy !req
202. It's me.
Copy !req
203. Oh, Yoshikawa.
I'm checking out the applications.
Copy !req
204. They're all good, aren't they?
Copy !req
205. Right.
Copy !req
206. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
207. It's like buying my first car.
Copy !req
208. Don't confuse your car with your wife.
Copy !req
209. I'd like to have the audition
late next week.
Copy !req
210. Can you choose about 30 applicants?
Copy !req
211. Thirty applicants?
Copy !req
212. Okay. I'll let you know.
Copy !req
213. And... don't trust pictures.
Copy !req
214. An essay can be more useful.
Copy !req
215. - Okay. I got it.
- Bye.
Copy !req
216. Bye.
Copy !req
217. Choose 30, huh?
Copy !req
218. Oh, you're here.
Copy !req
219. Why don't you knock?
Copy !req
220. Did you just come home?
Copy !req
221. Are you ready for dinner?
Copy !req
222. I'll eat later.
Why don't you eat now?
Copy !req
223. Okay.
Copy !req
224. Well...
Copy !req
225. I have a friend of mine here.
Copy !req
226. A girl?
Copy !req
227. You guys can eat mine too.
Copy !req
228. Thanks.
Copy !req
229. Asami Yamazaki.

230. Piano, classical ballet for 12 years.
Copy !req
231. "I'm not sure
I can become an actress,
Copy !req
232. "and you probably won't choose me.
Copy !req
233. "I'm simply attracted to this story.
Copy !req
234. "I studied ballet for a long time,
Copy !req
235. "then damaged my hips
when I was 18.
Copy !req
236. "It happened when I was planning
to study ballet in London.
Copy !req
237. "I was devastated.
Copy !req
238. "Ballet was my top priority,
Copy !req
239. "so my dream died.
Copy !req
240. "It might sound like I'm exaggerating,
Copy !req
241. "but it's like accepting death.
Copy !req
242. "Living is another way of
reaching death.
Copy !req
243. "I think I know these things very well.
Copy !req
244. That's why I want
to audition for the role."
Copy !req
245. When did this dinosaur live?
Copy !req
246. The latter part
of the Cretaceous period.
Copy !req
247. The latter part of
the Cretaceous period means—
Copy !req
248. Well...
Copy !req
249. That's the period
for the parasaurolophus.
Copy !req
250. Good.
Copy !req
251. What about the dinosaur
that has a Syracuse model?
Copy !req
252. - I don't know.
- Do you want to see it?
Copy !req
253. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
254. - Hi! Good evening.
- Good evening.
Copy !req
255. I am his father.
Copy !req

Copy !req
257. - My name is Misuzu Takagi.
- Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
258. I often see her on the train.
Copy !req
259. I thought she was pretty.
Then I tried to talk to her.
Copy !req
260. Good job.
Copy !req
261. Since I'm interested in biology too,
Copy !req
262. - I wanted to see his books.

Copy !req
264. What? Was that his?
Copy !req

Copy !req
266. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
267. I can cook something for you.
Copy !req
268. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
269. Take it easy.
Copy !req

Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
287. Please have a seat.
Copy !req
288. - Are you nervous?
- Yes. A little bit.
Copy !req
289. - Sorry you're the first.
- That's okay.
Copy !req
290. We're going to film this,
but just be natural.
Copy !req
291. Do you mind if I ask
what your father does?
Copy !req
292. My father's job is... well...
Copy !req
293. What can I say?
Copy !req
294. Next one.
Copy !req
295. - I'm going to ask you frankly.
- Yes.
Copy !req
296. What made you decide
to audition for this role?
Copy !req
297. Have you ever had sex
with someone you didn't like?
Copy !req
298. Are you interested in drugs?
Copy !req
299. Did you play any interesting roles?
Copy !req
300. Can you act a little bit for us?
Copy !req
301. - Sure.
- Go ahead.
Copy !req
302. What kind of music do you like?
Copy !req
303. - Which actresses do you like?

Copy !req
304. Next.
Copy !req
305. I used to like sports.
Copy !req
306. In high school, I played—
Copy !req
307. Have you thought about working
in the sex industry?
Copy !req
308. I have a friend who is working
in the industry, however—
Copy !req
309. Next.
Copy !req
310. How do you view men?
Copy !req
311. Have you ever seen
any Tarcovsky movies?
Copy !req
312. Ren Osugi.
Copy !req
313. There are some sex scenes.
Can you handle that?
Copy !req
314. No problem.
Copy !req
315. Do you have a sixth sense?
Copy !req
316. Okay. Next.
Copy !req
317. May I ask you a question?
Copy !req
318. Can you smile?
Copy !req
319. What kind of men do you not like?
Copy !req
320. I'm Yoko Sugimura.
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
321. If I didn't have confidence,
I wouldn't be an actress.
Copy !req
322. Excuse me.
Copy !req
323. When I was two, my mother decided
that I would be an actress.
Copy !req
324. Can you walk around the chair?
Copy !req
325. Turn around.
Copy !req
326. Next, please.
Copy !req
327. It was nice meeting you.
Copy !req
328. It's time for a break,
according to our schedule.
Copy !req
329. We're 30 minutes behind.
Copy !req
330. - Let's take a 10-minute break.
- Sure.
Copy !req
331. Why are you making me
ask all these questions?
Copy !req
332. Don't tell me you're
not interested anymore.
Copy !req
333. It's not like that.
Copy !req
334. Then what?
Copy !req
335. I'm kind of nervous.
Copy !req
336. I gotta go to the restroom.
Copy !req
337. I lived in Paris for three years.
Copy !req
338. Then I came back to Tokyo,
and I was working as a designer.
Copy !req
339. I can't think about anything else
except being an actress.
Copy !req
340. I realized my agent
specialized in porn.
Copy !req
341. Can you keep this one
for another job?
Copy !req
342. I'm not satisfied with
just being called a cover girl.
Copy !req
343. This scar is from the first attempt,
and this one is from the second.
Copy !req
344. I was sent to a mental hospital
three times.
Copy !req
345. Next one.
Copy !req
346. Emi Kitani. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
347. Didn't we finish your interview?
Copy !req
348. Right. But I haven't finished
what I have to say.
Copy !req
349. You have a great career.
Why do you want to audition for this role?
Copy !req
350. Well... It's so difficult for me, and—
Copy !req
351. I tried hard, but...
Copy !req
352. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
353. I am a pediatric nurse.
Copy !req
354. My work is very tough, but—
Copy !req
355. Next, please.
Copy !req
356. The next one is Asami Yamazaki.
Copy !req
357. Please.
Copy !req
358. - Asami Yamazaki.
- Have a seat.
Copy !req
359. Sorry for the delay.
Copy !req
360. Have you done any movies or TV jobs?
Copy !req
361. There were some opportunities,
but they all fell through.
Copy !req
362. Do you belong to any agency?
Copy !req
363. Not really.
Copy !req
364. A guy from a record company
is supposed to represent me,
Copy !req
365. but we haven't contacted
each other for a long time.
Copy !req
366. Which record company?
Copy !req
367. Ace Records.
Copy !req
368. Could you tell me his name?
Copy !req
369. Director Shibata,
in the Japanese music department.
Copy !req
370. It says you've been unemployed
since you quit your previous job.
Copy !req
371. How do you manage
your daily expenses?
Copy !req
372. If you don't mind, can you tell us?
Copy !req
373. I work at my friend's place
three times a week.
Copy !req
374. What kind of place?
Copy !req
375. It's a small bar located in Ginza.
Copy !req
376. The owner used to be my classmate
in a voice training class.
Copy !req
377. If I keep my expenses low,
I have no money problems.
Copy !req
378. Don't you want
to live a luxurious life?
Copy !req
379. Being too poor isn't good.
Copy !req
380. But if I can afford books and CDs,
Copy !req
381. I'm pretty happy-
Copy !req
382. May I ask you about ballet?
Copy !req
383. Certainly.
Copy !req
384. - You damaged your hips.
- That's correct.
Copy !req
385. It must've been awful to quit
what you had been doing.
Copy !req
386. Yes.
Copy !req
387. I must sound a bit rude, but...
Copy !req
388. Your essay says
that your dream died,
Copy !req
389. and it was like accepting death.
Copy !req
390. I was highly impressed.
Copy !req
391. I think everyone
has similar experiences.
Copy !req
392. There is always something
beyond our control in our lives.
Copy !req
393. You just have to accept it.
Copy !req
394. I think that's life.
Copy !req
395. I mean...
Copy !req
396. I was amazed a young girl
like you understands that.
Copy !req
397. I think you've been taking
your life very seriously.
Copy !req
398. That's what I thought.
Copy !req
399. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
400. Are you finished?
Copy !req
401. Thank you. We may contact you later.
Copy !req
402. Yes.
Copy !req
403. Excuse me.
Copy !req
404. May I call the next one?
Copy !req
405. - Let's have a 15-minute break.
- Fine.
Copy !req
406. Please call Mr. Ito
and tell him I will be late.
Copy !req
407. What do you think about her?
Copy !req
408. She made me very nervous.
Copy !req
409. She made me want
to smoke a cigarette.
Copy !req
410. You knew you would like her
before the audition.
Copy !req
411. I've been thinking about her
since I read her essay.
Copy !req
412. I like her much more
after meeting her in person.
Copy !req
413. You said, "I think you've been
taking your life seriously."
Copy !req
414. That's not a comment an interviewer
says in an audition. I was stunned.
Copy !req
415. Don't joke about that.
She really impressed me.
Copy !req
416. I'm sure she's a serious girl.
Copy !req
417. She looks better than her photo,
Copy !req
418. and may also be goodhearted.
Copy !req
419. But there's something
I don't like about her.
Copy !req
420. What?
Copy !req
421. I don't know what it is.
Copy !req
422. I can't explain exactly what's wrong.
Copy !req
423. Something bothers me.
Copy !req
424. The girl you brought
the other night looked nice.
Copy !req
425. Misuzu?
Copy !req
426. - She looks nice, but—
- What?
Copy !req
427. One of those girl things.
Copy !req
428. - I don't understand girls.
- Come on.
Copy !req
429. Thanks.
Copy !req
430. Hey, Dad, about your remarriage.
Copy !req
431. Preferably someone
who cooks better than Rie does.
Copy !req
432. Why are you in such a hurry?
Copy !req
433. Another dinosaur was discovered
at Moon Valley in Argentina.
Copy !req
434. That one could be older than eoraptor.
Copy !req
435. - Really?
- I'll be busy collecting information.
Copy !req
436. Take a bath.
Copy !req
437. Yes, hello.
Copy !req
438. Sorry for calling so late.
Copy !req
439. This is Aoyama, one of the producers
who interviewed you today.
Copy !req
440. Thank you for your time today.
Copy !req
441. Not at all.
Copy !req
442. Well...
Copy !req
443. I would like to talk to you more.
Copy !req
444. I wonder if you might have some time.
Copy !req
445. Of course. I'd love to see you.
Copy !req
446. What time would be good for you?
Copy !req
447. Anytime during the day
would be fine.
Copy !req
448. Really. Let me see.
How about—
Copy !req
449. Good night.
Copy !req
450. This is Aoyama.
Copy !req
451. It's me.
Copy !req
452. What's up?
Copy !req
453. Well...
Copy !req
454. Regarding the girl, Yamasaki?
Copy !req
455. I called Ace Records
just to make sure.
Copy !req
456. It's not a big deal.
Copy !req
457. But something didn't seem right.
Copy !req
458. - What is it?
- Well...
Copy !req
459. There is no Director Shibata
in the Japanese music department.
Copy !req
460. To be precise,
he isn't there anymore.
Copy !req
461. This guy, Shibata...
Copy !req
462. has been missing
for a year and a half.
Copy !req
463. He just disappeared.
Copy !req
464. I'm nervous.
Copy !req
465. I won't ask you
any special questions,
Copy !req
466. so please relax.
Copy !req
467. Do you only want me to enjoy
this nice food and talk to you?
Copy !req
468. That's correct.
Copy !req
469. That's the best request
I've ever had.
Copy !req
470. Just one question.
Copy !req
471. The guy from the record company.
Copy !req
472. Mr. Shibata?
Copy !req
473. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
474. I said so at the audition,
Copy !req
475. but, in fact, I've never met him.
Copy !req
476. I was advised to say so,
Copy !req
477. since it would be too difficult
without an agency.
Copy !req
478. I see.
Copy !req
479. I didn't mean to lie.
Copy !req
480. It's okay.
I've clarified that question.
Copy !req
481. That means there is no problem.
Copy !req
482. Here is your food.
Copy !req
483. It looks delicious.
Copy !req
484. Go ahead.
Copy !req
485. Delicious.
Copy !req
486. Good.
Copy !req
487. I hope I'm not asking
too much of you...
Copy !req
488. but if you have some free time,
Copy !req
489. I'd like to talk to you more.
Copy !req
490. That would be wonderful.
Copy !req
491. I don't have any adult men
to be frank with.
Copy !req
492. If I'm good enough, I'd love to.
Copy !req
493. Really?
Copy !req
494. I'm very happy about that.
Copy !req
495. I'll try not to bother you.
Copy !req
496. Anywhere is fine.
Copy !req
497. Even just on the telephone
would be fine.
Copy !req
498. I wrote down my cell phone number
on the business card I gave you.
Copy !req
499. Please call me anytime.
Copy !req
500. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the meal too.
Copy !req
501. I've decided.
Copy !req
502. I don't care about the movie.
Copy !req
503. I'm interested only in her.
Copy !req
504. Don't worry about the movie.
I'll handle that.
Copy !req
505. I'm not worried about that.
Copy !req
506. But don't be too hasty.
Copy !req
507. You said you wanted to have
enough time to get to know her.
Copy !req
508. Why are you so negative about her?
What's wrong with her?
Copy !req
509. I only think that life isn't so easy.
Copy !req
510. She's beautiful, classy, and obedient.
Copy !req
511. And she doesn't have any boyfriends.
Copy !req
512. And she fell into our trap.
Isn't it too good to be true?
Copy !req
513. I checked her references,
but none are accessible.
Copy !req
514. The bar she said she was working at
is also unknown.
Copy !req
515. We can't reach anybody
who knows her.
Copy !req
516. I wasn't born yesterday.
Copy !req
517. I won't be fooled this easily.
Copy !req
518. I trust myself
more than the opinions of others.
Copy !req
519. If there's any trouble,
I will handle it.
Copy !req
520. Right.
Copy !req
521. As you said before, I found
my ideal woman from an audition.
Copy !req
522. I appreciate it, Yoshikawa.
Copy !req
523. Hey, Aoyama.
Copy !req
524. Promise me one thing.
Copy !req
525. Don't call her for a while.
Copy !req
526. I hope I'm wrong.
Copy !req
527. It's going to affect your whole life.
Copy !req
528. You had better not be hasty.
Copy !req
529. Cool down a bit.
Copy !req
530. All right. I promise you.
Copy !req
531. You're not sick, are you?
Copy !req
532. It's rare for you to take a day off.
Copy !req
533. This is the first time
since I started working for you.
Copy !req
534. Oh, well...
Copy !req
535. It's good to have a break.
Copy !req
536. You might be a little tired.
Copy !req
537. Since your wife passed away,
you've raised your son by yourself.
Copy !req
538. You started your own company,
which is doing quite well.
Copy !req
539. You've been working too hard.
Copy !req
540. I wish my husband was like you.
Copy !req
541. My life would be easier.
Copy !req
542. You must have a nice girlfriend.
Copy !req
543. I'm sure you do.
Copy !req
544. A man can't function
without a woman's help.
Copy !req
545. I'm done. I'm going home now.
Copy !req
546. Bye.
Copy !req
547. Bye.
Copy !req
548. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
549. See you.
Copy !req
550. What? Do you have
anything to tell me?
Copy !req
551. Not really. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
552. Bye.
Copy !req
553. This is Aoyama.
Copy !req
554. Really? Good.
Copy !req
555. I thought you
wouldn't call me anymore.
Copy !req
556. You might think I'm desperate
if I tell you this...
Copy !req
557. but I was longing for your call.
Copy !req
558. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
559. So, how are you?
Copy !req
560. What?
Copy !req
561. What's so funny?
Copy !req
562. I didn't think I would see you again,
so I'm pretty excited.
Copy !req
563. Here's your drink.
Copy !req
564. I didn't ask you about your family
at the audition.
Copy !req
565. Are they fine?
Copy !req
566. Yes. They're fine.
Copy !req
567. You're from Tokyo, right?
Copy !req
568. They moved to Chiba last month.
Copy !req
569. My father loves golfing, and living
in Chiba is more convenient.
Copy !req
570. - I see.
- We're not that close,
Copy !req
571. but not that distant either—
quite an average family.
Copy !req
572. Do you still work at the bar?
Copy !req
573. - Yes.
- Is that in Ginza?
Copy !req
574. The Stone Fish on 4th Street.
Isn't it a funny name?
Copy !req
575. The Stone Fish?
Shall I come for a drink?
Copy !req
576. I would love to have you come over,
but my boss tries to...
Copy !req
577. interfere with my private life.
She is a good person, though.
Copy !req
578. If you don't want me to come,
of course I won't.
Copy !req
579. I just want to know you better.
Copy !req
580. I won't lie to you. Definitely not.
Copy !req
581. I promise.
Copy !req
582. I have to tell you this...
Copy !req
583. It's about the movie.
Copy !req
584. Did someone else get the part?
Copy !req
585. It's not like that.
The movie—
Copy !req
586. Actually, the sponsor
didn't like the story.
Copy !req
587. It looks like the production
is going to be on hold.
Copy !req
588. The movie production might...
Copy !req
589. fall through.
Copy !req
590. Oh, really?
Copy !req
591. You might be hurt.
Copy !req
592. Not me. But you might be.
Copy !req
593. You read my essay, didn't you?
Copy !req
594. I never thought about getting
the main role.
Copy !req
595. It's okay.
Copy !req
596. The good thing is that I met you.
Copy !req
597. I felt wonderful...
Copy !req
598. Seeing myself in the mirror,
Copy !req
599. picturing myself
among beautiful things.
Copy !req
600. That's incredible.
I trained myself hard to release pain.
Copy !req
601. That's why I could go through
the difficult lessons.
Copy !req
602. But, after all, I lost ballet too.
Copy !req
603. It's hard to overcome
that experience...
Copy !req
604. but someday you'll feel
life is wonderful.
Copy !req
605. That's life, isn't it?
Copy !req
606. Thank you.
Copy !req
607. Living alone is a hassle.
Copy !req
608. I have nobody to talk to.
Copy !req
609. There were some guys
who approached me,
Copy !req
610. but you're the first one
who is really warmhearted
Copy !req
611. and tries to accept
Copy !req
612. and understand who I really am.
Copy !req
613. Let's have dinner soon.
Copy !req
614. When will that be?
Copy !req
615. Sorry, am I pushing you?
Copy !req
616. I'll call you.
Copy !req
617. Yes. I'll look forward to it.
Copy !req
618. You can stop here.
Copy !req
619. Please stop the car.
Copy !req
620. She's getting out.
Copy !req
621. Thank you very much for today.
Copy !req
622. See you.
Copy !req
623. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
624. Take me to Okusawa.
Copy !req
625. Yes.
Copy !req
626. Can I talk to you for a moment?
Copy !req
627. What?
Copy !req
628. The curtain is dirty.
Copy !req
629. What?
Copy !req
630. - Well...
- You found a girlfriend.
Copy !req
631. Right?
Copy !req
632. Bingo.
Copy !req
633. You're acting strange lately.
Sometimes you smile to yourself.
Copy !req
634. She is just 24 years old.
Copy !req
635. She's closer to my age.
Copy !req
636. She must be very beautiful.
Copy !req
637. I'm the same as you.
I like pretty girls.
Copy !req
638. Don't get fooled.
Copy !req
639. I'm much smarter than you.
Copy !req
640. Have you proposed to her?
Copy !req
641. Not yet.
Copy !req
642. We're going away this weekend.
Copy !req
643. I'm going to propose to her then.
Copy !req
644. Good luck!
Copy !req
645. I'll introduce her to you soon.
Copy !req
646. If I think she's all right
it will be fine...
Copy !req
647. because you're in love now,
and love is blind.
Copy !req
648. Well...
Copy !req
649. What can we do before dinner?
Copy !req
650. The chef here is very skilled.
Copy !req
651. He prepares very good food.
You can look forward to it.
Copy !req
652. Not only is he a good chef,
he also has a bad mouth.
Copy !req
653. There is a small museum close by.
Copy !req
654. If we leave now,
we can still make it.
Copy !req
655. It's about 20 minutes away by car.
Copy !req
656. After that, we can go to the harbor.
Copy !req
657. It's a little harbor,
but there is a great coffee shop.
Copy !req
658. And they serve delicious cheesecake.
Copy !req
659. The desserts are—
Copy !req
660. Come to me.
Copy !req
661. Please.
Copy !req
662. No. Don't take off your clothes yet.
Copy !req
663. Please...
Copy !req
664. look at my body.
Copy !req
665. I burnt myself when I was little.
Copy !req
666. I want you to know all about me.
Copy !req
667. You're very beautiful.
Copy !req
668. Please love me. Only me.
Copy !req
669. I will.
Copy !req
670. Everybody says so.
Copy !req
671. But I hope you're different
from other guys.
Copy !req
672. Only me. Okay?
Copy !req
673. Only me.
Copy !req
674. Please love me. Only me.
Copy !req
675. - Yes.
- Is this Mr. Aoyama?
Copy !req
676. This is the front desk.
Copy !req
677. Yes.
Copy !req
678. I'm terribly sorry.
You must be in bed.
Copy !req
679. We called a few times,
but no one answered.
Copy !req
680. Since your partner left,
Copy !req
681. we wanted to know if you're staying.
Copy !req
682. I'm sorry to call you so late.
Copy !req
683. Left?
Copy !req
684. What do you mean
she disappeared?
Copy !req
685. She doesn't answer the phone.
Copy !req
686. There is no way to contact her.
Copy !req
687. When I send her home by taxi,
Copy !req
688. she usually gets out on a nearby street,
not in front of her place.
Copy !req
689. What happened at the hotel?
Copy !req
690. I just told you everything.
Copy !req
691. People don't just disappear like that.
Copy !req
692. We might have
misunderstood each other.
Copy !req
693. I just want to talk to her face-to-face.
Copy !req
694. Yoshikawa, can you
find out her address?
Copy !req
695. Listen to me.
All we got is her résumé.
Copy !req
696. It's impossible.
Copy !req
697. Aoyama...
Copy !req
698. Why don't you forget about her?
Copy !req
699. I can't do that.
Copy !req
700. I know I can't convince you, but...
Copy !req
701. Anyway, I think
you should forget about her.
Copy !req
702. You're saying...
Copy !req
703. that I got too crazy...
Copy !req
704. about a young girl.
Copy !req
705. Are you saying"-
Copy !req
706. I'm a pathetic, lonely,
middle-aged man?
Copy !req
707. Yes, you are.
Copy !req
708. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
709. Didn't you say,
"I wasn't born yesterday"?
Copy !req
710. Whatever problems come up,
you can fix them, right?
Copy !req
711. What?
Copy !req
712. It's okay.
Copy !req
713. What's okay?
Copy !req
714. It's okay now.
Copy !req
715. I won't ask for your help anymore.
I'll look for her by myself.
Copy !req
716. - I'll find her by myself!
- Aoyama!
Copy !req
717. Shimada Ballet Studio
Copy !req
718. Excuse me.
Copy !req
719. Excuse me.
Copy !req
720. Excuse me.
Copy !req
721. Are you...
Copy !req
722. Mr. Shimada?
Copy !req
723. I am...
Copy !req
724. the one who called you
this afternoon.
Copy !req
725. Hello?
Copy !req
726. - Regarding Miss Asami Yamazaki.
- Go home.
Copy !req
727. Well...
Copy !req
728. Let me be frank with you.
Copy !req
729. Did you have any problems...
Copy !req
730. with Asami before?
Copy !req
731. I just want to know
how to contact her.
Copy !req
732. Do you know her whereabouts?
Copy !req
733. So...
Copy !req
734. did you see her?
Copy !req
735. Yes.
Copy !req
736. Did you hear her voice?
Copy !req
737. What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
738. Did you touch her body?
Copy !req
739. Did you hold her in your arms?
Copy !req
740. How was that?
Copy !req
741. Was it good?
Copy !req
742. Did you smell her?
Copy !req
743. Asami.
Copy !req
744. Go home.
Copy !req
745. 4th Street. The Stone Fish.
Copy !req
746. The Stone Fish
Copy !req
747. The Stone Fish
Copy !req
748. The Stone Fish
Copy !req
749. No one is there.
Copy !req
750. Is it closed today?
Copy !req
751. That bar has been closed
for more than a year.
Copy !req
752. What?
Copy !req
753. The owner was murdered.
That was a huge mess.
Copy !req
754. Do you know an Asami
who used to work here?
Copy !req
755. Asami?
Copy !req
756. I don't recall.
Copy !req
757. Normally the owner worked here alone.
Copy !req
758. Asami was supposed to work here
three times a week.
Copy !req
759. I don't think so.
Copy !req
760. Excuse me.
Why was the owner killed?
Copy !req
761. I'm not sure, but...
Copy !req
762. people say it was about
some sort of man problem.
Copy !req
763. She was having an affair
with a music industry guy.
Copy !req
764. She used drugs too.
Copy !req
765. Did she get murdered here?
Copy !req
766. The body was chopped up completely.
Copy !req
767. It's a 28-year-old building.
The whole building is tilted.
Copy !req
768. We saw her blood flowing
through the gap under the door.
Copy !req
769. The other mystery was...
Copy !req
770. The police collected all the body parts
and tried to put it together.
Copy !req
771. They found three extra fingers
and an extra ear...
Copy !req
772. and an extra tongue as well.
Copy !req
773. Isn't it a terrible world?
Copy !req
774. Mealtime, Gang.
Copy !req
775. Bye.
Copy !req
776. Hi, this is Shigehiko.
Copy !req
777. I'm going to stay at
my friend's house tonight.
Copy !req
778. It's none of my business,
but eat properly.
Copy !req
779. There's some yogurt.
You can eat it if you want.
Copy !req
780. And Gang was hiding
underneath the house,
Copy !req
781. so please feed him
when he comes out.
Copy !req
782. Talk to you later.
Copy !req
783. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
784. So, how are you?
Copy !req
785. I didn't think
I would see you again,
Copy !req
786. so I'm pretty excited.
Copy !req
787. I didn't ask you about your family.
Copy !req
788. Are they fine?
Copy !req
789. When I was little,
my parents got a divorce.
Copy !req
790. I was sent to my uncle's house.
Copy !req
791. That was a terrible place.
Copy !req
792. I only remember being abused.
Copy !req
793. My uncle's wife
was that kind of woman.
Copy !req
794. I used to have many scars.
Copy !req
795. If it's too painful,
you don't have to talk about that.
Copy !req
796. No, I want you to know
everything about me.
Copy !req
797. I was forced into cold baths
in winter, and I got pneumonia.
Copy !req
798. She pushed me down the stairs,
and I broke my shoulder bones.
Copy !req
799. The doctor got worried about me.
Copy !req
800. He sent me back
to my mother's house.
Copy !req
801. How old were you?
Copy !req
802. I was seven years old.
Copy !req
803. I see.
Copy !req
804. My mother got remarried.
Copy !req
805. I didn't get any more scars...
Copy !req
806. but my stepfather...
Copy !req
807. hated me so much.
Copy !req
808. He had bad legs.
Copy !req
809. He used to stay home all the time.
Copy !req
810. I did nothing...
Copy !req
811. in a dark room every day...
Copy !req
812. until my mother came home.
Copy !req
813. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
814. It's not an easy story, is it?
Copy !req
815. If you dislike me...
Copy !req
816. please say so.
Copy !req
817. Strange.
Copy !req
818. I never imagined
you'd had such a painful past.
Copy !req
819. Because ballet helped me get through.
Copy !req
820. You had talent.
Copy !req
821. I'm not sure,
but only when I danced it...
Copy !req
822. purified the dark side of me.
Copy !req
823. That might be the reason
why I didn't kill myself.
Copy !req
824. I think you're wonderful.
Copy !req
825. I've been looking
for someone like you.
Copy !req
826. Darling.
Copy !req
827. Ryoko.
Copy !req
828. This is a good opportunity
to introduce you.
Copy !req
829. This is Asami Yamazaki.
Copy !req
830. She isn't good for you. No!
Copy !req
831. She is a very fine woman.
Copy !req
832. No...
Copy !req
833. No!
Copy !req
834. Darling.
Copy !req
835. I want you right now.
Copy !req
836. Asami.
Copy !req
837. It was just a mistake, right?
Copy !req
838. You made love to me.
Copy !req
839. Only once.
Copy !req
840. I expected something from you.
Copy !req
841. Was I stupid?
Copy !req
842. Sorry.
Copy !req
843. Forgive me.
Copy !req
844. I'll do anything
to give you pleasure.
Copy !req
845. I like doing this.
Copy !req
846. What are you doing? Stop it.
Copy !req
847. Look, you've got a hard-on.
Copy !req
848. Stop it!
Copy !req
849. Meal...
Copy !req
850. Meal...
Copy !req
851. Three extra fingers, an extra ear...
Copy !req
852. and an extra tongue as well.
Copy !req
853. Yummy!
Copy !req
854. You'll love only me, right?
Copy !req
855. Only me.
Copy !req
856. Asami.
Copy !req
857. Asami.
Copy !req
858. Dance for me.
Copy !req
859. Dance.
Copy !req
860. Dance.
Copy !req
861. Dance, you bitch!
Copy !req
862. Dance for me, or...
Copy !req
863. I'll torture you as usual.
Copy !req
864. Dance. Please dance for me.
Copy !req
865. Dance!
Copy !req
866. Dance!
Copy !req
867. Asami.
Copy !req
868. Good girl.
Copy !req
869. Asami!
Copy !req
870. This wire...
Copy !req
871. can cut flesh and bones easily.
Copy !req
872. You're wonderful.
Copy !req
873. I never felt unhappy...
Copy !req
874. because I have been unhappy
all the time.
Copy !req
875. Asami.
Copy !req
876. Please stop! No!
Copy !req
877. A man can't function...
Copy !req
878. without a woman's help.
Copy !req
879. Aoyama.
Copy !req
880. Conduct an audition.
Copy !req
881. My son told me that...
Copy !req
882. I looked dispirited,
so I should get remarried.
Copy !req
883. That's why I decided.
Copy !req
884. Asami.
Copy !req
885. Asami...
Copy !req
886. You...
Copy !req
887. You can't move anymore.
Copy !req
888. You'll be paralyzed,
but your nerves will still have feeling.
Copy !req
889. That way your skin gets sensitive
and you can enjoy the pain.
Copy !req
890. You guys auditioned many girls...
Copy !req
891. and you didn't pick me...
Copy !req
892. but you called me afterward.
Copy !req
893. You just wanted
to have sex with me.
Copy !req
894. All guys are the same.
Copy !req
895. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
896. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
897. Painful?
Copy !req
898. Words create lies.
Copy !req
899. Pain can be trusted.
Copy !req
900. Right?
Copy !req
901. You can feel pain.
Copy !req
902. You can study
the human body as well.
Copy !req
903. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
904. That's the most painful spot
around the belly.
Copy !req
905. How about...
Copy !req
906. here too?
Copy !req
907. Here as well.
Copy !req
908. Right?
Copy !req
909. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
910. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
911. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
912. See?
Copy !req
913. Underneath the eyes
is also very painful.
Copy !req
914. You only realize who you are
Copy !req
915. by going through pain
and suffering.
Copy !req
916. Only when you feel pain
Copy !req
917. can you know
the shape of your heart.
Copy !req
918. Your son's name is Shigehiko, right?
Copy !req
919. Your son has to feel pain.
Then you'll understand more.
Copy !req
920. Stop that.
Copy !req
921. Stay away from my son.
Copy !req
922. You love your son too?
Copy !req
923. You are a liar.
You only love me, right?
Copy !req
924. I've got only you.
Copy !req
925. But you have many others.
Copy !req
926. I don't want to be
just one of those.
Copy !req
927. Even if I give you everything I have,
Copy !req
928. you won't be mine completely.
Copy !req
929. Everybody is the same.
Copy !req
930. Everybody.
Copy !req
931. Everybody.
Copy !req
932. You can't escape without your feet.
Copy !req
933. This wire can cut flesh
and bones so easily.
Copy !req
934. Stop.
Copy !req
935. Stop it!
Copy !req
936. Right foot, please.
Copy !req
937. I'm home.
Copy !req
938. Dad, are you still awake?
Copy !req
939. My friend got sick all of sudden.
Copy !req
940. Then we called an ambulance.
Copy !req
941. Are you sleeping?
Copy !req
942. What happened, Dad?
Copy !req
943. What's going on?
Copy !req
944. What's wrong?
Copy !req
945. Are you okay?
Copy !req
946. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
947. Well...
Copy !req
948. l...
Copy !req
949. I will respond to your proposal.
Copy !req
950. What?
Copy !req
951. Your proposal...
Copy !req
952. I accept.
Copy !req
953. Proposal?
Copy !req
954. It's like a dream.
Copy !req
955. I'm so happy.
Copy !req
956. Among the girls
who auditioned for the role...
Copy !req
957. I am...
Copy !req
958. the luckiest one.
Copy !req
959. Because I became the real heroine...
Copy !req
960. not in the movie.
Copy !req
961. Deeper, deeper...
Copy !req
962. What happened, Dad?
Copy !req
963. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
964. What do you want?
Copy !req
965. What?
Copy !req
966. Dad!
Copy !req
967. Are you all right, Dad?
Copy !req
968. Dad!
Copy !req
969. Call the police...
Copy !req
970. Is this the police?
Copy !req
971. This is the Aoyama residence
in Okusawa.
Copy !req
972. Please send an ambulance right now.
Copy !req
973. My father has been seriously injured.
Copy !req
974. And a woman too.
Copy !req
975. I don't know the details.
Copy !req
976. His left leg has been chopped off
and is bleeding badly.
Copy !req
977. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
978. The address is Setagaya-ku,
Okusawa, 6-20-4.
Copy !req
979. I thought you were a busy man.
Copy !req
980. I don't know what you do very well.
Copy !req
981. You may think I am desperate.
Copy !req
982. I was longing for your call.
Copy !req
983. I didn't think I would see you again.
Copy !req
984. Sorry, I'm pretty excited.
Copy !req
985. Living alone was a hassle.
Copy !req
986. I have nobody to talk to.
Copy !req
987. You are the first one...
Copy !req
988. who is really warmhearted...
Copy !req
989. and tries to accept me
Copy !req
990. and tries to understand
who I really am.
Copy !req
991. It's hard to overcome that experience,
Copy !req
992. but someday you'll feel
that life is wonderful.
Copy !req
993. That's life, isn't it?
