"Oops, that means morning assembly" "What time is he coming?" "About 6pm" "Let me know if you're running late" "Sure, sure" "Tomoko's going" "Dear" "Off you go" "Father, can I get you a fresh bowl of warm soup?" "No need to fuss over me" "Oh, really?" "What?" "No, no, he just hasn't paid the bill" "I'll tell him I can't talk, we're on the train" "That cell phone" "Sorry, I meant to turn it off" "That was Mom for you, Dad You forgot your lunch box" "Aren't you even sorry?" "She gets up early to fix it for you" "It's your fault rushing off" "My fault?" "What to do for lunch..." "Lucky you have school lunches" "Mom tried your cell phone but the service had been turned off" "Don't they bill you electronicaly?" "What?" "How pathetic, having your phone cut off" "What do they say at work?" "Well, it's not like I leave the office much" "Carry a cell and they'll chase you down anywhere, and usually over nothing I'd like to get rid of it" "You were so excited at first" "Who asked you?" "You're the weirdos, always calling and sending emails" "It's not right." "World's going down the drain, thanks to that crap" "Oops, I forgot to answer Kamata san" "Cut it out, not on the train Makes you look like a fool" "I know" "Um..." "You'll be on your best behavior tonight, right?" "What behavior?" "I'm just supposed to show up, right?" "That's what I mean, you get so defensive" "Right" "Don't worry, I'll leave it to the young guys and be home on time" "Thank you Kamata-san knows how busy you are" "Did you tell him..." "about Grandpa?" "Yeah, sort of" "No point hiding it It's nothing to be ashamed of" "What about him?" "Here, boy, where'd you come from?" "C'mon, good doggie" "Hey, Cleo, don't bite him, don't bite" "No need to run" "Good doggie, c'mere doggie" "Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry" " You call him Cleo?" " Don't mess up his clothes" "Not to worry Cleo, there's a good doggie" "Excuse me, I was wondering" "Is Myofukuji Temple farther ahead?" "You've already passed Myofukuji Temple" "You turn at the second corner" "Oh, really?" "The man at the station told me to keep walking straight" "No, no, turn and it'll be on your left Just past the corner" "Thank you so much There's a good doggie" "Honey, my daughter-in-law's coming to get me" "Father, you're already here" "Shoko san, I can't take it here Hurry!" "Hurry!" "I'm Shoko" "No, everything's fine" "I'll tell them all about it here Don't you worry about a thing" "She's coming to pick me up in my truck so I'd better wait outside" "Father, it's OK, OK, just please calm down, calm down" "She's a terrible driver, so I'll have to drive home" "But..." "you've got to calm down!" "Father" "Father, open wide" "Companies run by a bunch of kids are so risky" "I saw right through 'em" "Clever, but that shoddy operation of theirs gave me the creeps" "Reminded me of door-to-door salesmen I don't want anything to do with 'em" "We, the president apologizes" "But he doesn't have any positions... other than terminal maintenance" "He was like, "You do know your way around a computer?"" ""Know my way?" He can kiss my ass" "It's difficult, you know Akechi-san, you're an old school engineer" "By the time they've trained you in the new system, you'll be ready for retirement So you can't expect to be welcomed like a fresh young employee, frankly" "Let me ask you, Maeda" "Just who was it who tossed out a man of that age?" "There's no point fixating on that" "And what if I hadn't just shut up and taken it?" "If I'd sold the bosses' dirty secrets to the media," "I could've made a bundle" "There's no point going over..." "I mean, here I am, using my pull in Human Resources, and doing everything I can for you" "Now there's a spin for you" "I'm the one who fixed it with the president so you could stay snug-as-a-bug in Human Resources after RD went bust" "You're sitting pretty and I'm a tramp" "Always sneaking around" "You ashamed to be seen with me?" "In any case..." "Please try this place next" "They're supposed to be one of our more generous subcontractors" "I've got to go, but I'll be back in touch when there's an interview lined up" "Here, Akechi-san" "Oh, please, Maeda, Maeda" "Masuda always says he'll come early but he never does" "So Nakatani-san always cleans out that fish tank by herself" "Masuda always lies, and I feel sorry for Nakatani-san getting stuck with all the work" "Why can't you come early, Masuda?" "Masuda said his mom was sick so he couldn't come, but that day, at lunch time," "I saw his mother riding her bicycle" "What do you say, Masuda?" "I guess she started feeling better about noon" "But the next day when he didn't show, he gave the same excuse" "She got sick again the next day" "Nakatani-san, thank you for taking care of the gold fish." "What do you think?" "What do you say?" "I don't know" "Nakatani-san won't say anything, so I do instead, but Masuda won't listen to me" "It's a lot of work cleaning the fish tank alone, isn't it, Nakatani-san?" "That's why it's a two-person job" "If you can't come early, Masuda, you should apologize to Nakatani-san" "It's very difficult to apologize and admit your own mistakes" "Even grown-ups have to be brave to do that" "But lying your way out of a difficult spot isn't right, is it?" "Once you start lying, there's no end" "Once you've said your mother's sick, you have to keep on lying to prove that it's true" "You don't want to do that, do you, Masuda?" "Because nobody wants to pretend their mother's sick" "So I want you to be brave kids who don't have to lie and can apologize first, instead" "How about giving it a try?" "I'm sorry, Nakatani-san" "Nakatani-san, please keep taking care of the fish with Masuda" "Teacher" "Yes?" "Isn't Masuda's mother really sick?" " Bye, bye" " Bye, bye" "Long day" "Sorry I kept you waiting" "Something wrong?" "That was a scary face you made, teacher" "I'm strict and I don't compromise" "Professor!" "Professor!" "Won't you please look up?" "Please look up" "How cruel!" "He's so cruel!" "How could he have passed away, without saying a word to me!" "Excuse me" "I don't mean to be rude, but how did you know my brother?" "Are you his sister, then?" "How I longed to meet you" "He always liked to say," ""My sister is so kind"" "I'm letting go" "How's the placement of the wreath from Nojima's Office?" "I don't know, right next to the Yamagata wreath?" "Or..." "maybe next to Todo's wreath..." "I think it looks great there" "No, maybe Yamagata..." "Maybe right by the entrance..." " Is it OK here?" " It's fine" "I still think it'd be better..." "Let's move all the tables up a little" "And let's divide the guest books into court-related," "Attorney General's Office-related, academic and the general public" "We'll just leave guest books on the tables, and leave the funeral offering records in a box" "Excuse me" "I'm sorry to be late I heard you were shorthanded" "Oh, I see, why thank you" "This loss was so sudden..." "Indeed it was" "Oh, my name is Nagasaki" "Nagasaki" " Attorney at Law" "Why yes, he'd told me about you" "He always liked to say "Nagasaki's really on the ball"" "You must be joking Um..." "Please sign-in over here" "So, Nagasaki-san, can I leave you in charge here?" "Oh, why yes..." "Thank you, then" "Akechi" "Akechi" "Nakatani was an interesting kid when she was in my class" "She's a good kid" "Yes, she is" "She's a good kid, but sometimes I can't figure out what she's thinking" "She kind of scares me" "I don't like the challenge in those cool eyes" "Like somebody else I know" "Who?" "You mean, me?" "He's fast asleep" "Grandpa's not feeling very well I'm sorry, Kamata-san" "I'm sorry I didn't even get to meet him" "Oh, no, we're the ones at fault" "Kamata-san, please start while it's hot" "But your husband's not..." "Her husband?" "Is that odd?" "How about "father?"" "But he wouldn't want me to call him "father," at our first meeting" "I'd hate to lose points on that one..." "Not to worry, he's very understanding" "He's quite proud" "He doesn't want to act childish, he wants to seem with-it" "Please, have some beer" "But let's wait a little longer" "Who knows when he'll show up" "The night is still young" "Calm down, Mother" "Am I flustered?" "Like you're staring at an endangered species" "How old are you, Kamata-san?" "I'm thirty-something, 31, soon" "Oh my, year of the Boar" "That was fast" "Year of the Boars are very strange Obsessive and quick to react, but blindly And they get quite frantic" "All my friends are like that" "Right?" "Mother, why not try calling Dad again?" "I doubt I'll get through" "Try him again" "How did she figure that out so fast?" "I don't know I guess she's into it" "Beer's OK?" "Yeah, sure, sure" "You don't even like beer Stop pretending" "Grandpa!" "Oh, father" "I'm sorry, come, father" "Nice to meet you" "Such a lovely home" "Chief, sir!" "I'm sorry" "Father, you're awake You seem much better" "I wasn't asleep even for a moment" "Oh, sorry, kept you waiting" "You've kept him waiting" "Sheriff!" "Sir!" "Director General Reporting home" "That damned meeting just dragged on and on" "You could have called" "How?" "From a meeting?" "They go on and on about the stupidest things" "I'm very sorry Welcome to our home" "I'm Kamata Kensaku Forgive me for imposing" "Oh, not at all Please, have a seat" "Oh, thank you" "A toast, then" "Dad, he doesn't drink beer..." "Oh, no it's fine" "Oh, no, we want you to be yourself At ease, at ease" "What do you usually start with?" "A glass of sherry or sparkling wine..." "Have any wine?" "But you have to warn me" "Wine, huh?" "I can't serve cooking wine, right?" "Oh, I'm easy Beer's just fine" "Oh, well, thanks A beer toast, then" "Dear" "Oh, why thank you" "Thank you Your turn, father..." "Oh, thank you" "Grandpa" "Dear" "I'm sorry" "I'm fine, I'll pour my own" "A toast, then" "Welcome to our home" "Nice to meet you" "Cheers" " Um..." " Your work..." " Excuse me, you go first" " No, you first" "Oh, no, you're the guest" "Well, thank you" "Um... your work seems to keep you really busy" "Not busy, really, but with this economy, manufacturing's in a squeeze" "Our meetings run late every day, just trying to get by" "My hat's off to you I'm off the free market" "But hear it's tough in the schools these days" "Neither teachers nor students are the same these days" "When I read about teachers refusing to go to school or committing suicide," "I get frightened, wondering if she's next" "Tomoko's fine She's got a solid disposition" "I'm much more likely to get carried away" "How can you say that?" "Women are so strong" "We men are likely to get eaten up some day" "I know we men are doomed to extinction" "No, no, serve Kanno-san here another bowl of rice" "It's Kamata-san, dear" "You only got the K right" "Oh, excuse me, Kamata-san" "Gotta watch those slippery K's" "The phone" "Your father's interesting" "Yes, he is" "Akechi-san, you're getting to be a real problem" "I've already gone over it with the Division Chief" "What Division Chief?" "Not good enough?" "No way" "So I've got to go myself?" "What a pain" "I'll be sending Sato to see you" "Sure, sure, sure" "Funeral" "Funeral" "Please" "Great work Please, go have a bite" "Hardly a relaxing meal I was mortified" "Not at all" "Everybody in your family's so open I really enjoyed myself" "Well, I'm glad" "Your dad's going back to work now Tough, being a company man" "He acts stuffy, but he's so sweet he takes on thankless work" "An honest man's always a poor one" "No, seriously, I'm really moved" "My Dad was born with a silver spoon, inherited his wealth, so it's like, he just lacks conviction, somehow" "In a word, he's stagnating" "But you'll inherit his" "I'm so uncomfortable with that" "But about your grandfather..." "Shocked?" "He's been like that a year and a half now" "Must be hard on your mom" "But she's the only one Grandpa really trusts" "And in some ways, she depends on his need" "It's like they both need each other" "That's so admirable So strong" "Stop singing our praises" "But I felt like Mom took a liking to you, too" "Your eyes are exactly like hers" "You're strong like your mother and a hard worker, like your father" "I'm sure it can't be easy," "but you have a wonderful family" "We're just average Just a normal, normal family" "That's what's so wonderful" "What was with that "Sparkling wine" crap?" "Who does he think he is?" "I should've said, "Oh, Sherry, who's that?"" "He must come from a good family" "Who cares." "It takes a day of real sweat and blood to appreciate a glass of beer" "But you yourself said, "It's tough in the schools, too"" "Finish college and go right back into school" "By the time they're 22, kids call 'em "Teacher"" "They don't know shit about real life" "Tomoko's a teacher, too" "Girls don't need to go out into real world" "In any case, he sure seemed like a wimp" "Totally conventionally refined, full of himself" "Don't you think?" "You can't stand unconventionality" "Hey, take care of this mess" "I can't take them from him He makes a huge fuss" "His suspicious streak's still..." "Don't." "He understands" "What a human wreck" "A living corpse" "I'm off" "What's this crap!" "How dare you feed an Imperial soldier such crappy food!" ""Cuckoo, cuckoo" ""Quietly..." ""Calling" ""In the forest" ""Look, look" ""Mother"" "Akechi-san" "Ogi Family Funeral Akechi Familly Funeral" "C'mon, come out" "It's stuck" "Attention, guests of the Kumagai Family" "The hearse is ready to depart Please gather in the Lotus Flower Room" "There it is" "Brother..." "Nice funeral you're putting on here, Akechi-san" "Gold brocade on the altar" "You pay for this with the money you owe us?" "Are there lots of guests?" "It's a funeral" "Bet you've never been to a funeral" "Well, no" "As the disinherited son, I'm rarely in demand at family gatherings" "Who told you about it?" "Mother?" "Ridiculous Remember Takagi from my class?" "He told me about it" "You mean Takagi who died in a car crash last year?" "No, no, I meant Takada I've got friends you never knew" "He told me about it" "You didn't show up for Grandma's funeral" "But Grandpa always loved you I'm sure he'd be delighted" "Grandpa, huh..." "The hearse is pulling out You should've come earlier" "A stomach virus" "You're scared" "Of what?" "Of seeing Dad" "I'm scared I'm scared, Tomoko" "Don't worry I'll stand up for you" "No, no, Daddy's too scary" "You're a nut" "You're getting some of your dead dad's money, right?" "My ass is on the line" "You!" "Please, don't" "You related to this guy?" "Talk some fucking sense into him!" "We look the other way for this asshole and he gets the wrong idea" "Time's up, Akechi-san" "How 'bout a little fucking honesty?" "You got laid off a long time ago and now you're choking in debt" "Might as well come clean at your father's funera!" "Just the right time to get some help from your relatives" "You fucked over every other loan shark around" "You selfish bastard" "What do you say!" "Stop!" "Daughter, right?" "You're still young" "There's all sorts of ways to help out old dad, here" "Quit your lousy job teaching brats" "Don't touch her!" "How dare you bastard!" "Akechi-san, Akechi-san, get ahold of yourself" "You..." "What are you doing here?" "Hello" "I'm going to be managing Akechi-san's liabilities" "I'm his attorney, my name's Nagasaki Look forward to working with you" "I'm sure you're aware that intruding on a debtor's misfortune, assaulting him with abusive language, publicly exposing his finances, and threatening innocent family members" "All of these actions violate loan regulations" "We'll be taking legal recourse promptly" "Give me your name and the company name" "What's all this!" "What the fuck!" "I don't think so It's not good to grab, is it?" "It's bad, it's bad" "Your company should have received a letter, outlining my role as his legal representative" "If you should contact Akechi-san directly in the future," "I'll see that your operating license is revoked immediately" "We're willing to regard this incident as a misunderstanding" "Right?" "Right That's how things are" "Please go" "That's Shuji" "Sister" "Just wait a second I'm not dressed" "Hurry, finish packing" "Arrives Osaka at 8:24, that's the train for us" "Sister" "Hey, what are liabilities?" "Shut up Hurry up and pack up your pants and your games" "I'm coming in, Sister" "Why, Shoko-san, thank you so much" "You really handled it all" "The sun's already setting Why not go home tomorrow?" "Why not take it easy tonight?" "Don't you agree, Brother?" "My husband's so lazy, I can't let him rest" "One day off and he forgets all about our bar" "Got us tickets Smoking section" "Why Smoking?" "It stinks You go sneak your smokes" "But Sister, we have to go over his things and the inheritance" "What do you mean?" "You took care of everything" "No reason for me to stick my nose in" "You two do whatever you think is best" "Please, Sister Please..." "It's not really for me to say, but I looked after your senile father all by myself" "Now that that's finally over, suddenly, this mess" "Sister..." ""Finaly over," huh?" "Wonder how Dad would feel" "I'd heard Dad really liked you" "We never got along and I figured he was better off with you so I stayed out of it on purpose" "Must've been a real challenge I certainly wasn't up to it" "He may have been my own father, but I would've gone crazy after 2 days and strangled him" "Only you could've handled it" "I'm deeply grateful for everything you did for him" "Grab 3 funeral lunch boxes" "But that's got nothing to do with this new mess" "My brother went deep into debt out of concern for you, right?" "I don't get it" "What kind of couple can't share losing a job?" "Ryo" "He'll only spend it on crap" "But we appreciate the gesture" "I don't need it" "You shut up" "But it's really not much" "Think about your father's condition Hardly time for you to give it away" "Excuse me, Shuji" "Oh, Dad, what can I say..." "Hey, cut it out" "Shuji set you a real good example" "Go hire an attorney" "That's about the size of it, right?" "I just imitated what lawyers said to me when I was a loan shark" "Sorry it was half-baked" "You'll survive anything, won't you?" "I told you, cut it out" "OK, time to go" "Sister" "Thank you, no really, I'm serious" "I'm sure Dad was really happy that his busy daughter came home" "Thank you, Brother, Ryo Have a safe trip home" "Your sarcasm's always been first class" "Pisses me off just to hear her" "Faking that vulgar Osaka-accent She'll do anything for money" "Some fancy Buddhist name you got for Grandpa" "Don't touch it" "Put it back" "Dad" "Not to worry Sorry" "You've got company" "Akechi-san" "Open up, Akechi-san!" "Go back inside" "Hey, go get him" "What?" "Let's call the police, right?" "It'll get serious, then Better not" "Hey, do it again That legal stuff" "No good They'll figure it out" "Don't be so mean I'm begging you" "If you borrow something, you have to pay it back, Dad" "Here's 1.2 million yen clear" "I swear I'll pay you back Just this once" "Bet you use that line on everyone" "But then, you had quite a day, didn't you?" "Let's go ahead and send them home" "Don't, Shuji" "You can't" "What are you thinking, Dad?" "This won't solve anything" "C'mon, Dad" "You know what you're up against?" "What's your plan, then?" "Start from zero, go back to work..." "We're comin' in, Akechi-san" "The question is how to deal with this situation right now" "We a bow and apologize to them Ask them for some time" "You're an idiot!" "You go back inside God knows what they'll say to you" "Go back inside" "I said, open up!" "Right away" "He's out there" "What's so funny?" "You're the apple of his eye" "Where'd you get all that cash?" "Just come listen, this is great stuff" "Listen, Mom..." "Isn't your father amazing?" "He's taking money off the same son he kicked out as a thief" "When it's a said and done, Shuji's a chip off the old block" "Thinks nothing of lying, deceiving Even us" "Shuji's exactly the same" "That's why your father couldn't stand him" "I finaly figured it out What a sad story" "I guess" "Right?" "He made a fool of you, too!" "But Dad didn't squander the money or go into debt to spite us" "Oh, wake up, you baby" "Making total fools of us with everyone we know, that's spiteful" "I thought your father was solid as a rock, straight as an arrow" "So I kept this family together, never complaining" "Now everything's shot to shit What's going to happen?" "What's gonna happen now?" "Mother" "Lucky you, huh You saw Aunt Kimiko" "Once a girl leaves her family, what does she care?" "Hurry up and marry into some fine family" "This family's screwed Just screwed" "I said, listen!" "What?" "You're sure lively, all of a sudden" "Lively?" "Sorry" "Hello?" "Yes, I'll be right there Thank you" "Frankly, I was shocked" "I'm so sorry, Kamata-san" "But thank goodness, I feel so much better, seeing you" "That lawyer really saved the day" "I'm sure he'll work it a out" "The way he parted the crowd That was really cool" "I'm sorry That's actually my big brother" "What?" "You have a big brother?" "He's a lawyer?" "He's not?" "It sounds strange, but he can talk his way out of anything" "You mean, he made it all up?" "He's really odd He got Dad so angry, he left the family 10 years ago" "Your brother, huh?" "He was a real oddball, even for our family" "Oh, yeah?" "Actually, he fits right in" "I'm starting to lose my grip" "Frankly, you scare me" "Why'd you even introduce me to them?" "All that cozy family stuff, turns out to be a big lie, right?" "And I was genuinely moved" "Guess I was a fool to fall for it" "Fall for it?" "I even told my folks about it" ""Our family may be wealthy," ""but the Akechis seem to have something we don't"" "Made my own Mom and Dad stop to think" "What am I supposed to tell them now?" ""I guess having money's the answer?"" "Just wait a minute" " Whatever" " Whatever?" "What'll you do?" "You can't just waltz right back to school" "I've taken time off through tomorrow" "Nobody at school knows about us, do they?" "What?" "I'll just pretend I don't know, either" "Meaning?" "So, until things settle down" "Why don't you calm down and really think things over" "Well, I guess, if you really get stuck, try calling me" ""If I really get stuck?" What does that mean?" "What do you expect?" ""What do you expect?" How can you say that?" "I have no idea you're talking about" "Just for the record," "I didn't know anything" "You feel deceived, but so do I" "The kitchen's closing" "We're fine" "Thank you" "Kamata-san!" "You staying?" "You're hopeless" "Really hopeless" "I can do it, watch" "Look, look" "Keep it there, on your thighs" "Shut up" "Shut up" "Wow, he's got more" "This is everything" "You swear?" "That's right" "Positive there aren't IOU's to friends, or notes and stuff?" "That's it" "I really suggest you come clean" "I'm not a crook" "Trust me, there's more" "There isn't" "Yes there is" "All right, that's enough No point bickering about it now" "And Mom, stop pissing and moaning and start sorting those into piles, OK" "What's a little bit of debt, compared to the evils of the world, right, Dad?" "In any case, try to remember" "Go back over all your appointments and notes" "But man, for an unemployed guy, you you sure had a lot of lenders" "Dad, I think you've got real talent" "Not for me to say, but no wonder they have it in for you" "You know what a lawyer would charge to get you out of this mess?" "But you'd better get it sorted out now, or some jerk'll come after you again and you're back to square one" "Excuse me I'll clear these" "We're about ready to close Thank you" "Man, you're in a real tight spot" "Mom, I know you always keep your own stash" "I need you to hand it all over" "Nothing stashed..." "OK, then insurance or a pension plan you bought without telling anyone" "I know you, Mother, you're cautious You've got something" "If you cash all those in, you might just squeak by" "But those are..." "How'd you pay the premiums?" "I agonized every day for 30 years, over whether to give up coffee or cigarettes" "I've always made do, so we'd make it if you keeled over" "How dare you, bitch" "Now, now, now" "There's go to be 2 or 3 million here" "Not after we pay off the funeral costs" "Dammit!" "That's because you insisted on that fancy Buddhist name and that hardwood coffin" "Plywood's fine It's just for burning" "Why's it all my fault?" "I only wanted to send your father off in style" "What's wrong with that!" "Bankruptcy" "I'm sorry I misread it" "It's mpossible, I'm sorry" "The balance puts you just over the edge" "If only Dad had some income, we could structure debt payments" "You've got zero money coming into this household, right?" "Impossible" "No, not Tomoko That's cruel" "Tomoko's done nothing wrong No, you can't" "But bankruptcy..." "Bankruptcy, what's that?" "It's OK I'm sure Tomoko will help out" "No you can't You can't say that, Mother" "But what's bankruptcy, Shuji" "All your debts get wiped off the books" "But they take every last one of your assets" "In other words, everything you have here, and this house" "The house?" "And what about..." "after that?" "What do you do, with no place to live?" "Say, Dad suppose we say you have no assets" "Shift the house and your savings out of your name" "But if they're not in my name, they might as well take them" "What if they stayed in the family?"

"It's all over the national news He's a serial robber" "If he stays here, we'll get dragged into his mess" "I'm sure it's a mistake Even he couldn't possibly..." "What's wrong with you, Dad?" "Your son, who pretended to go to college and kept the tuition" "Who sold my panties to the highest bidder when I was in junior high?" "Honestly, him re-arrange your finances?" "Never" "That 1.2 million was just bait for catching a bigger fish" "Don't you even get that?" "Listen, let's pretend we don't know a thing, and kick him out the way we always have" "He'll be fine and his chances of getting away are better that way" "No!" "We need him here with us" "What for?" "Hiding a criminal is a crime in itself" "If we keep him here, he'll just drag us down, too" "Please, just do what I say" "Let's make him leave before our family's finished" "This family was finished a long time ago" "We're beyond help now" "It's all my fault" "What choice do I have, Tomoko?" "I can't make miracles happen" "At least I wanted to spare you this mess I mean it" "Forget about the rest" "You get away from us" "Find your own happiness" "Me?" "Me, leave this family?" "I'm exhausted" "2:30 already?" "I'm really exhausted" "Wait a minute" ""Find my own happiness," how dare you?" "What do you think Kamata-san had to say?"

"No, you're not wrong" "Tomoko's always got the right answer" "And that's what's making you choke?" "You're all crazy" "I refuse" "I absolutely refuse to fall for it" "He's my brother, that monster" "You know him, too, Mother" "You know, you're scary Your very own brother" "When he gets out of the bath, kick him out, or turn him in, whatever you like" "Why do you say that?" "Well, what am I supposed to do?" "Your mother doesn't know" "Do whatever you want" "Whatever you think is always right, anyway." "Right?" "All yours" "I borrowed Dad's He wears boxers, now" "I was terrified he'd only have briefs" "I always think of Dad wearing briefs" "Dad is briefs Briefs are Dad" "Am I getting' a gut?"

"Yeah" "What did she tell you?" "She sounded like she really liked the guy, but I don't really know" "She's showing her age She's so scatterbrained" ""This is this and that's that, so there"" "So I just kept on nodding Wiped me out" "I put up with her every day" "Not for me One day's enough for me" "Man, you're a cheater" "In any case, she likes him, so that's great" "It's too early to tell" "What about you?" "Me?" "Forget about it" "We're talking about me here Would you marry me?" "No, I wouldn't" "But you sure got pretty You look nice in mourning" "That's a lie" "It is" "No, it isn't, it isn't I really mean it" "Here" "Thanks" "I thought I'd closed it It's letting in a draft" "Grandpa just opened it" "Cut it out" "Weren't you scared of ghosts?" "Don't believe in any of that stuff" "And not God, either?" "Not at all" "Don't you believe in anything?" "Well, me I mean, not for me" "But whatever I say, as long as you believe in God or ghosts, or love or friendship it must be real, right?" "Like they say, "where there's a wish, there's a way"" "That's "where there's a will"" "Oh, yeah?" "Half-assed, as always" "Give me some" "Sure, eat, eat Better to eat" "Man, these beans are tasty" "No, I refuse to believe you" "I swear, with my own eyes" "It was an illusion He just looked 10-feet tall" "If somebody was really that tall, he'd be on TV" "No, the thing is, I'm 5' 7", right?" "I stood next to him and my friend checked" "And the guy really was twice my height" "That's so repulsive, it's not funny" "It's not about funny, there really are giants in Beijing" "All you ever talked about, ever" "About what?" "The pack of lies you made up" "Well, it's true, you don't have a shred of that" "I can't remember you ever making up anything" "What's that got..." "No, I really can't" "You're right, I don't trick people" "That's good Very good" "I'm envious You're like holy or something" "Listen, Shuji" "Remember how you lied to me about finding wild berries growing on the hill behind our elementary school" "And how great they tasted?" "Lying?" "When I drew you that map?" "That's right, but there weren't any" "There weren't any and it got dark and I got lost and it was a big mess" "I cried so hard" "When I was crying, I thought I'll never cry like this again"" "You got it all wrong, you dummy You just couldn't find them" "Liar!" "You laughed" "Maybe I laughed, but they were really there" "I still remember exactly where they were" "And now, more on yesterday's funeral robbery" "Shortly after noon on the 26th, unknown suspects stole a large sum of funeral donations from the funeral of Professor Ogi Michio..."
