MAN“

who're you?

Oh, you came to give me hush money?

- I... - Don't worry.

I'm not a busybody. I won't tell the cops.

You can't tell anyone.

I won't. Go away.

I have some money.

You're so uncool.

I'm really...

I didn't say you could come in.

I...

My husband's a cop.

He's a detective in the Ikejiri precinct.

So if this gets out...

I can get you some more.

Enough already.

Don't stare.

Tm son-y.

I won't tell anyone you are a thief.

Will this do?

Thanks.

Leave.

I appreciate it.

May I clean your house to thank you?

What should I do?

Wait.

I didn't say you could come in.

Let me do something.

Hey, you. Don't touch anything.

I said don't.

Hit me some more.

Are you satisfied?

You still want to do something?

I'll do anything.

Then lick the milk off the floor.

You said you'd do anything.

You're a pig.

Since you're a cop's wife.

You cut my mouth.

Does it hurt?

There's dust in the milk.

You're very pretty-

You have cute breasts.

Do you want to suck them?

Damn you. You forgot again.

Stop.

But... no. Use protection.

Protection?

Okay.

Which one today? The red one?

I can't get in the mood just like that.

What about dinner?

What's this scratch?

Scratch?

This is no ordinary scratch.

I don't know how it got there.

You must know.

Someone scratched you.

It's just an abrasion.

I must have...

That's a lie. A lie.

What do you suspect me of?

Damn you. Tell me.

- What did you do? - I don't know.

You must know You're lying.

I can't know everything about myself.

Do you think I'm having an affair?

Don't forget the protection.

Welcome.

Sony to keep you waiting.

I thought I had the wrong restaurant.

Tm son-y. Forgive me.

This is my treat.

The paella here is fabulous.

I love paella.

I thought so.

Two beers please.

Or do you prefer wine?

How long did you wait?

Three days.

But...

...here we are.

This is so extreme.

Yes. Like a horse.

An iron horse. This model costs about 50,000 dollars.

Five? Mitsuko, you know a lot about bikes?

I have an RZ.

Doesn't it have a nice behind?

Yeah, how much?

I'll give it to you for free.

Idiot.

Fool.

Oh.

I need to pee.

Hold it in.

I can't.

Hum!-

Sonoko?

Say' Pee... Pee...

Pee?

Pee...

Peeee...

I can't go. Do it again.

Peee...

Peee...

Peee...

That's the third train.

Will you get on the next one?

I'll watch you go.

I don't like this.

Why won't you see me home?

It's already 11 p.m.

I'm not good at goodbyes. Always.

I'm not a sprinter.

I want to be in for the long run.

Along distance runner...

Someone I can run with forever.

That's the kind of person I like.

Then I'm not your type.

You can run.

Do you think I can still run?

Not still.

I can run.

You should be positive. Now.

Bye.

Mitsuko.

I'm home.

You're late again.

Tm son-y.

I hear the number of husbands

who don't want their wives hanging around is increasing.

Do you have something on your mind?

You can't do this while you're pre-occupied.

You're not feeling well?

Yes?

Then let's not.

Did something happen?

Are you hiding something from me?

No?

Is that the truth?

Okay then.

Go to sleep.

Wine and spare ribs.

Thanks for bringing them.

I've been hungry since morning.

But I didn't feel like doing anything.

My period started this morning.

I have heavy periods, I feel blue.

- Is that so? - How about you?

Mine are light.

I envy you.

I'd rather do a lump-sum payment. Don't you?

Lump-Sum payment?

Yeah, it's like paying interest every month.

You think it's finished but it keeps coming back...

Look, Sonoko.

Wouldn't it be great

if ours happened at the same time?

If yours is heavy,

I wish mine could be too, so I could feel blue.

Then I'll look forward to my periods.

Well?

I couldn't tell what was happening inside.

- Who is she? - I asked the super.

She comes from Osaka, 2-18-3 Ashiya City.

Her name's Mitsuko, an eldest daughter.

She works at Tokyo Research in Jinnan, Shibuya.

It's a part-time job.

Did she have a man in there?

I was outside the door.

But her hair seemed a bit disheveled.

Disheveled? Is that so?

Where are you going?

Please don't leave.

I won't.

You're lying.

You were looking at your watch.

My husband comes home at seven.

Oh?

I'm the type who won't be lonely

even if I'm left alone.

Does he get mad when you come home late?

Do you make up in bed, then?

You probably moan while you're doing it.

Mitsuko.

Even so, I love you.

Your body, your tender heart...

I can't leave.

When you say such things,

I don't care what happens anymore.

Sonoko.

I had to hear your voice before I went home.

I can't go home, I won't sleep if I did.

Sonoko. Did you think you could sleep tonight?

I've given up long ago.
