The first 200 lines.
Turn off the light.
Sleeping with a man I just met
Why?
I'm not getting hard.
Maybe I'm just shy around strangers.
It's my first time cheating.
So you're married.
Did you think I wasn't?
Yes.
No...
Not really.
Why did you think I wasn't married?
Just a feeling.
Doesn't matter either way.
I have a kid too.
That's pretty normal, right?
Totally normal.
The ashes waver and burn, I don't care anymore... burning blue
Put it in.
And, Loosened the love affair
Do you think there'll be cars on the road?
If you don't get to the station, you won't know where it is, right?
It's fine. I'll figure it out.
Should I draw you a map?
If you do that, I'll end up coming back.
That'd be a problem, right?
Kiss me.
Swallow my spit.
- Good night. - Goodbye.
You silly thing...
When did you get here?
Hey...
Make sure you sleep inside, okay?
Good night.
An emptiness...
Half of Sunday
drifts by, empty.
Wanna wander around a bit?
Koharu...
Koharu!
Hey, Koharu.
Um...
Have you seen a cat around here?
Hmm, not sure...
That beer looks tasty!
Huh?
Ah, there's Koharu!
Koharu!
Where have you been, Koharu?
I was looking for you.
You're so cute.
Licky, licky, licky.
Come on, let's go home.
Let's go eat something even tastier.
Come on, let's go home.
I wonder if I can pet you. I can pet it, right?
Even if you're still little, you're still a dog.
No water either, huh...
Hang on, okay?
They didn't even leave any water out for you, huh?
Oopsie...
Damn, what a terrible owner.
Right, Lady?
Is the water good?
Is her name Lady?
Yeah.
I gave her that name.
Right, Lady?
Hey, aren't you done yet?
Hmm... I'm just about finished.
- How about a hot sake? - Warmed up in the pot?
Of course.
Ah, mind if I join too?
It's fine, but what about your girlfriend?
Once in a while is okay.
What do you mean, "once in a while"?
Well, it seems like my girlfriend has some kind of plan.
Then you should've just said that from the start!
I want to go, but...
I just can't stop by on the way home.
Why not? Come on, it's fine.
Is someone coming?
No, it's not like that.
You used to invite just about anyone to drink until recently.
- What's going on? - Come on, let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
Alright, just one drink then.
Alright!
Yes.
Yes? Who is it?
Kobayashi.
What's wrong? Come in.
I also don't like people who just walk in and take off their shoes right away.
Weren't you running earlier?
Why?
You ran right past me.
Why didn't you call out to me?
- I wondered if you did it on purpose? - Why?
If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have run at all.
Yeah, so I figured you don't really recognize me from behind.
So, you recognized me from behind, didn't you?
Then why didn't you call out to me?
Well, I thought maybe you were hurrying into the room
to clean up the mess before I got there.
Hey, are all middle-aged guys like you?
Wow, that looks delicious.
Would you prefer, tea or coffee?
Tea.
I don't have any lemon though... hope that's okay.
Milk tea is fine.
And?
That's... good.
Back in the day, even on dates, I'd always avoid cream puffs.
For me, it was ramen or soba.
- Slurping, huh? - Yeah.
Honestly, how are you supposed to eat this?
Like this.
Don't you ever feel lonely being by yourself all the time?
Move.
I don't really want to leave you alone, though.
It's fine, I've got the TV.
What if the TV falls asleep?
What'll you do then?
I'll check the TV guide.
Stop talking.
Feels weird...
Lots of little ants crawled all over me
from my toes to the top of' my head
they passed all the way through me...
Hello?
I just got back home.
A business trip?
So, no plans for tonight then.
When will you be back?
A week?
That's a long time...
I don't need any souvenirs.
Okay then...
Hello?
Tomoko?
It's me.
Why didn't it work out with Hasegawa-san?
Did he call you?
He wasn't pushy at all, and he seemed like a really nice guy.
I honestly thought you were going to marry him.
We dated for over a year and nothing happened.
Are there really men like that?
There was one.
Ugh, idiot!
You're just a lousy amateur! You're hopeless...
- More food! - Coming!
Seriously...
- Take this with you. - Okay.
Man, this year's team is hopeless too.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Emi-san, come sit down and have a drink with us.
- But I still... - Come on.
Sorry.
If you don't eat tempura right after it's fried, it's not good at all.
Sure, there's the batter, the way it's fried...
There are lots of things to consider.
But at the very least, eat it fresh out of the oil!
So, Tomoko, you're the one who fries, and your husband eats?
But seriously, fresh-fried really is the best.
Okay then.
This is so good.
Tomoko, it's delicious.
- That's Hamada's. - Got it!
Eri, you're still not getting married?
There's someone, right?
There's no need to rush into it.
You've seen what marriage is really like.
Yeah, that's true. Makes you think.
It's like freshly fried tempura versus cold tempura.
So you're saying we can't have tempura at home? Is that it?
It's fine.
I actually prefer tempura that's not freshly fried.
You're lying, Tomoko.
Of course I am.
Hey, how many times have you listened to this song already?
Can you make it a whiskey?
Sure.
If I close my eyes, a gentle shadow appears
You, just like back then, are tilting your head
Godard's films are difficult and I don't like them
Staring at my café au lait, I start to complain
While listening to Coltrane, you made the smoke float
The Peace cigarette had a slightly bitter taste, though
Note: This is the song's lyrics. Peace by Yoshitaka Minami
In the corner of your room...
- It was your youth. - Yeah.
I see.
You were dating a girl who hated Godard because he was too complicated?
Godard was a crazy guy.
I see.
I'd completely forgotten words like "agitation" even existed.
She saw the riot police's shields coming down on the sidewalk.
No, they were crashing down on the street.
When I first heard it just now,
I got this sudden chill down my spine.
