The Samurai That Night (Sono yoru no samurai) (その夜の侍)

That will be 90 yen.

Thank you.

THE SAMURAI THAT NIGHT

I can't come to the phone. Please leave a message.

Ken.

Ken?

I know you're there eating custard...

The shopkeeper told me.

That stuff will kill you. I'm not joking.

Pick up the phone!

Are there natto-beans in the fridge?

If so, I won't buy any.

Ken?

Ken?

We're having croquettes for dinner.

Did you know testicles move?

The other day I was watching mine at home.

They're like...

They're like shellfish. A sea snail.

Why hadn't I ever noticed that?

Check your nuts some time.

They're like...

Shellfish, like a sea snail.

She's not bleeding.

Rock her.

Excuse me...

Hello?

She's not bleeding.

I'll call an ambulance...

Wait a minute.

I was driving.

Don't worry. She's not bleeding.

I'll get an ambulance...

I've done nothing wrong!

She came out of nowhere.

Even Schumacher would have hit her.

What's this...

I can smell fish and miso.

I can smell it.

It must be someone's dinner.

We want to beat the traffic on Highway 254.

Mind you, none of these teeth are mine.

This guy got turned down by Mama-san!

How long are you going to keep it up?

- Look who's talking. - What?

- Get to work! - Bug off!

AUGUST 8

I'LL KILL THE TWO OF US...

IN 2 DAYS

Sorry.

It's okay...

He owns a business, you know.

He's a pretty good catch.

Don't eat the custard. I'll return them later.

Do not eat them.

Stay away from the custard.

What's going on?

We waited for two hours. Two hours!

You know, Ken...

I might be overstepping the line,

but I think this is in your best interests.

The sooner you find someone, the better.

Can we talk outside?

It's been five years. Five years!

And this!

Why are her ashes still here?

Anything's okay.

No way! Nobody has blind dates at a diner.

- Isn't Ken's brother-in-law a teacher? - Yeah.

He makes me uncomfortable.

- Same here. - I wonder why.

Call me when Mr. Tajima comes.

- Have a nice date! - Leave him alone!

I dunno what it is...

I hope he likes her.

Me too.

She teaches math.

Women don't usually teach math.

Is that right?

Sometimes she's too logical.

And strong-headed. So you two are well-suited.

Nice introduction!

- And she's divorced. - Aoki!

You don't want to seem too perfect.

I sound terrible!

You're both too old to be picky.

- Be realistic. - You're mean.

Mind if I start?

Why haven't they brought the iced coffee?

This is good.

Ken, hey...

Go ahead, I don't mind at all.

What was your wife like?

- Her personality... Did she cook well? - Kawamura...

She wasn't that great a cook.

Whenever she cooked curry she cooked way too much.

So we'd end up eating it for a week.

I'd get so sick of it that I'd secretly throw it out.

Poor her!

Her potatoes were always too hard.

They were undercooked.

Everything was chunky.

The potatoes, carrots and onions...

- Like mom's. - A family tradition.

Her curry was always watery.

It wasn't thick, just watery.

It was watery.

It was watery.

How did she look? Was she pretty?

- What's the matter? - I'm just curious.

Did she look like her brother?

What is it?

Ken.

I think...

I'm not the kind of man you're looking for.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Kawamura?

Excuse me.

Kawamura, wait!

Pull yourself together.

Aren't you singing?

CLOVER TAXI

Only farts come out.

- Did he talk? - No.

He can't, with duct tape over his mouth...

I know you told everyone about my past!

I have evidence.

We all know that I killed somebody in a car accident five years ago.

And yes, I ran!

It was a hit and run.

And yes, I was put in the slammer.

All because he went to the cops and squealed.

What else could I do?

What would the Boss do if he knew?

If I lost this job you'd owe me.

I worked hard to get a Category 2 permit.

I'm employed on a trial basis.

I worked really hard for this.

I never worked so hard in my life!

I didn't do it.

It wasn't me, you have to believe me!

It's true! It wasn't me!

Shut up! Think about the neighbors!

It wasn't me! It wasn't me!

I swear to God it wasn't!

Kobayashi, get me the kerosene.

Hold it at the base.

Ken, Mr. Tajima is here.

We got 200 more orders.

It's a barbeque! Barbeque!

It's barbeque time!

Help me...

Kijima!

Please don't kill me.

Kijima!

On Earth...

do you know how many people are killed every day?

- I don't know either. - Help me...

And how many of them are never found?

I'd guess that 90% of them are never found.

Help me, please.

It was me, it was me!

I told them.
