"Dear mom, get well soon" "Tell the head nurse to stay." "Ryoko, Ryoko.!" "Ryoko, Ryoko.!" "Hello." "I am sorry." "17h 28." "I've brought this for mom." "Seven years later" "Let's go home." "The waves are too high." "Dad, no luck again?" "You don't understand." "I only want to catch big ones." "Just give me real girls instead of imaginary big fish." "Well..." "When you're grown up, you'll understand." "Now that is romantic." "Hello." "The planning is done." "I'll bring it tomorrow." "Yes..." "Hello." "Sorry, I have to hang up." "This one is too big for us alone." "We'll share it with Rie." "You never bring someone home with you." "Is everything okay?" "Do you know that black sea bream are born male?" "What?" "When they are 15 cm, they lose their gender." "Some turn into female." "Is that so?" "And how about this one?" "We have seen ovaries." "Is that so?" "I have no knowledge of ovaries." "You don't look that young anymore." "What?" "Take care of yourself a bit more." "Gang." "Why don't you get married again, dad?" "Why do you ask?" "Just because I think so." "Thanks for dinner." "You will have to do the dishes." "It's like a religious ceremony." "They are all the same, lonely." "Happy people don't go to such concert." "Everybody is lonely in Japan." "You too?" "You too, right?" "Boss." "Ueno wants to meet at half past three instead of one o'clock." "It doesn't matter, I'm here anyway." "I go to Starts and see Yoshikawa tonight." "I won't be back." "In case something changes, I will call you on your mobile." "Okay." "Say..." "I get married soon." "Really?" "Congratulations." "With who?" "You don't know him." "Still, congratulations." "You're always busy." "I don't mind." "But the profit-margins grow smaller." "How are you?" "You don't know it yet?" "The movie industry produces a lot." "Really?" "No, I'm lying." "It's like a survival, or a torment." "Doing badly?" "The future looks promising but how long do we have to wait for that." "Yoshikawa, you said the same thing one year ago." "Is that so?" "Stupid women." "No style and yet conceited." "And stupid as well." "What's become of all the beautiful women?" "Japan is history." "Say..." "I intend to get married again." "How did you come up with that?" "With who?" "I don't know yet." "My son told me I look old and that I should get married again." "That's why." "You look old?" "Through a marriage agency?" "No, that's not my style." "If only there are was a sweet woman hidden somewhere." "What kind of woman are you looking for?" "Should she be young?" "Not too young." "I think fit when she works and enjoyed education." "An education?" "She should be able to play piano, sing or dance, for instance." "Like your wife Ryoko was." "Certain educations give people self-confidence." "A lack of self-confidence makes people unhappy." "A pianist." "It will cost you money." "She doesn't have to be a professional." "It should be a good marriage." "I want to get to know her first." "I want to see more women and choose the ideal one." "Why are you laughing?" "Am I expecting too much?" "Probably yes." "No, I can arrange something." "I've got an idea." "An audition." "It is a romantic story." "Do you remember your documentary?" "A threesome between a ballet dancer, a boss and a mongol." "A co-production with Germany." "I will adapt the story." "What do you think?" "I don't foresee any problems, so we will keep an audition." "Simply trust me now." "Did I ever let you down before?" "No, but..." "The leading lady should be between 20 and 30 years old." "She should be well-trained." "That's no burden, is it?" "We won't get caught, will we?" "We're not just looking for a woman." "We are also working on a movie." "If we got money, we will make it." "The story is not bad." "But..." "Should I marry the leading lady?" "No, such a talented woman would not marry you." "That kind doesn't marry." "The best marriage candidates always fail the second interview." "Really?" "That's 1 percent of the candidates." "They're quite attractive." "Smart, well-bred, traditional and with a good education." "The ideal daughters-in-law." "I don't understand." "Why can't she get the leading part?" "They're not unhappy." "Unhappy people are good actors." "Other subject..." "I do something together with FM." "I can combine it with this." "We're making a program called:" "The heroine of tomorrow." "Trust me." "I'm good at auditions." "With Yoshikawa." "I'm in room 2." "Coffee?" "Do you want coffee?" " Yes Can I have two coffee?" "I'm stuck in traffic." "I'll be there a bit later." "Give the tape to mr." "Kaneda please." "Thank you." "The heroine of tomorrow." "I'm wondering where you are." "Magnificent things can happen if you encourage yourself more." "Every star has his or her moment." "Hepburn and Julia Roberts lived their own lives before they became heroines." "The heroine of tomorrow lives just like you, this very moment." "Or better: you can become the heroine of tomorrow yourself." "I am home." "Here you are." "You are early." "I have to work at home tonight." "Do you heat up your dinner yourself?" "The biggest plate is for Shigehiko." "Thanks." "Till Monday." "I have to go shopping, because my daughter is coming." "Nice." "Bye, Gang." "Put the dirty clothes in the laundry-basket." "I go now!" "Okay." "Thanks." "Bye." "Hello." "With me." "I'm looking at the candidates just now." "They are good, ey?" "I don't know well what I should do." "It is as if I am buying my first car." "Don't mix-up your wife with a car." "The audition is next week." "Select 30 candidates." "30 candidates?" "Yes." "Good." "I will let you know." "Don't judge by appearance too much." "The letters are more useful." "Okay." "See you later." "Bye." "I have to pick out 30 of you?" "Are you at home yet?" "Why don't you knock?" "You just came home?" "Do you want to eat?" "You can start already." "I'll join later." "Good." "Someone comes around this evening." "A friend?" "Give her my dinner then." "Thanks." "Shit!" "Asami Yamazaki." "done 12 years of classical ballet" "I don't know if I can act and most likely you won't select me anyway." "The story simply appealed to me." "I've done a ballet-course, but at the age of 18 I got a hip-injury." "I was devastated, because I wanted to continue in London." "Ballet meant the world to me, so my dream burst asunder." "It may sound exaggerated, but it felt as if I was dying." "Life is a way of dying." "I know very well how it feels like and that's why I want to play this role." "When did the dinosaur live?" "At the end of the Cretaceous period." "At the end of the Cretaceous period means it is a reptile, right?" "Correct." "And how about the dinosaur with the Siracuse-model?" "No idea." "Do you want to see him?" "Good evening." "Good evening." "I am his father." "I am Misuzu." "Pleased to meet you." "Likewise." "I often saw her in the train and started talking with her." "Well done." "I think biology is interesting." "He shows me his books." "We finished your dinner." "Good." "It was his dinner?" "I am sorry for eating your dinner." "I will prepare something for you." "Never mind, it's not necessary." "Gang." "Good boy." "You come with me?" "Make sure she gets home safely." "Of course." "Come on then." "Come on, Gang." "Ready?" "I feel like a criminal." "I am ready." "Let's begin." "Pleased to meet you." "Please sit down." "My name is Yu Tanaka." "Please sit down." "Are you nervous?" "A little bit." "Sorry, you're the first." "That's okay." "We are making recordings." "Okay." "What does your father do for a living?" "Well..." "My father is..." "He works as..." "What shall I say?" "Next." "I ask you sincerely." "Why did you apply?" "Have you had sex before with someone you didn't like?" "Do you use drugs?" "Could you perform something for us?" "Of course." "Go ahead." "What kind of music do you like?" "Which actress do you think is good?" "Mituko Mori." "Next." "I've always enjoyed playing sport." "I used to play..." "Ever considered entering the sex-industry?" "A friend of mine is in it." "Next." "What do you think of men?" "Have you seen movies by Tarkofski?" "Ren Osugi." "Can you do sex-scenes?" "No problem." "Are you paranormally gifted?" "Next." "May I ask you something?" "Could you laugh a bit." "What kind of men repel to you?" "Yoko Sugimura." "Pleased to meet you." "If I didn't have any self-confidence, I wouldn't be an actress." "Pardon." "When I was two years old, my mom decided I should become an actress." "Could you walk around the chair once." "Turn around." "Next." "Pleased to meet you." "We should take a break for a moment." "We're 30 minutes behind on schedule." "We'll take a 10 minute break." "Okay." "You don't seem very enthusiastic." "You're not in the mood anymore?" "That's not the point." "What is it then?" "I feel nervous." "I need to go to the toilet." "I've lived in Paris for three years and now I'm a designer in Tokio." "I'd love to be an actress." "I've done x-rated videos." "Keep her for another movie." "I want to be more than merely a cover-queen." "These are scars of attempts of suicide." "I've been institutionalized three times." "Next." "Emi Kitani." "Pleased to meet you." "We already talked with you." "But I forgot to mention something." "You've got a successful career." "Why do you want to act?" "So far I can't complain, but..." "Sorry." "I'm employed as a nanny." "It's a tough job." "Next." "Asami Yamasaki." "Come in." "Asami Yamasaki." "Please sit down." "Our apologies for the delay." "That's okay." "Have you played in a movie or TV-series?" "I've been asked a couple of times, but never done it." "Do you have an agent?" "Not really." "I used to keep contact with the director of a record company." "But that's a while ago." "Which record company?" "Ace Records." "What's the director's name?" "Shibata, he's got the Japanese music." "Since you stopped working, you're unemployed now." "How do you make a living if you don't mind me asking?" "I work three days at a friend's place." "What kind of business does she run?" "A pub in Ginza." "We know each other from a course on voice training." "If I am careful with money, I can make ends meet." "You don't want to live in luxury?" "Too poor isn't good either." "But I can buy CDs and books." "That's enough for me." "May I ask you something about ballet?" "Sure." "You've got a hip-injury?" "That's right." "It must have been terrible to stop ballet." "Yes, indeed." "You must think I'm being rude, but..." "You wrote you had to stop doing what you enjoyed doing most and that it felt the same as dying." "I was very impressed." "Most likeley everybody has had such an experience once." "If something happens in your life, which is beyond your control you'll have to accept it." "That's life." "I wanted to say..." "I was surprised a young woman such as yourself understands that." "I think you are very conscious in life." "That's what I wanted to say." "Thank you." "You've finished?" "Thanks for coming." "You'll be hearing from us." "Okay." "Excuse me." "Shall I call the next?" "Let's take a short break." "Okay." "Tell mr." "Ito I will come later." "What did you think of her?" "She made me nervous." "I could kill someone for a smoke." "You'd already made up your mind." "I think she's much nicer than her beautiful letter." "'I think you are very conscious in life'" "You can't say something like that during an audition." "Seriously..." "I was impressed by her." "I know for sure she's serious." "She looks prettier than in the photo and she's surely a good person but I don't like her." "What's wrong with her?" "Something chemical." "I can't exactly explain it, but I don't like her." "She seemed to be a pretty girl." "Misuzu?" "She looked nice, but..." "What?" "I don't know." "I don't understand women." "Do you?" "Thanks." "How about your marriage?" "She must be able to cook better than Rie." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "A new dinosaur has been discovered in Argentina." "It's maybe older than the Euraptile." "Really." "I must gather information." "Take a bath." "Hello." "Sorry for calling so late." "With producer Aoyama." "You auditioned at my place." "Thank you for your time." "You're welcome." "I was wondering if you got time to talk a bit more." "Sure." "That sounds nice." "When is possible?" "Every day, as long as it's in the day-time." "Good." "Let me see." "How about..." "Goodbye." "With Aoyama." "With me." "Hello." "About this Yamasaki again." "Just to make sure, I called Ace Records recently." "It's not so important but something is wrong." "What is it?" "Mister Shibata wasn't present at the company." "To be more precise, he's not coming anymore." "He's been missing for over one year." "He simply disappeared." "I feel nervous." "Don't worry, I won't ask any special questions." "You only want me to enjoy this delicious food and our conversation." "Exactly." "That's the nicest request someone's ever made to me." "I have one question." "Your contactperson." "Mister Shibata?" "Sorry for telling you during the audition that he was my contactperson." "I've never met him actually." "I'm not registered with an agency." "Somebody told me I should say it." "Oh, like that." "I didn't mean to lie." "That's okay." "The matter is solved now." "It's no problem." "Here you are." "It looks delicious." "Enjoy your dinner." "Delicious." "Fine." "I hope I'm not asking for too much, but if you're free some time I would like to continue talking with you." "I don't have anybody to whom I can talk with frankly." "I would like that." "Really?" "How fantastic." "I don't want to be a burden on you." "It doesn't matter to me where we will meet." "By phone is also okay." "I'll write my mobile number on my business-card." "You can always call me." "Thank you." "And thanks for the dinner as well." "I've made up my mind." "I don't care about the movie, I'm only interested in her." "Don't worry about that movie." "I'll take care of it." "Don't rush yourself." "You wanted to get acquainted with her first." "Why are you being so negative?" "Why don't you like her?" "I only think life doesn't work that way." "She's pretty, got style and she's obedient." "Unbelievable for such woman not being in a relationship." "I've made inquiries about her, but couldn't find anything." "The pub where she works, is unknown as well." "We can't find anybody who knows her." "I'm not born yesterday and I'm not to be trifled with." "I trust my own senses." "If there is a problem, I will deal with it myself." "Okay." "You told me I would be able to find my ideal woman at an audition." "I'm grateful to you for that." "Aoyama." "Promise me one thing." "Don't call her." "I hope I'm wrong about this." "Your whole life will change." "Don't rush yourself." "Take it one step at a time." "Take it easy." "Okay, I promise you." "You're not feeling ill, are you?" "You never take a day off." "I've never seen you like this before." "Ah well." "It's good to be out for a while." "Maybe you're simply tired." "Since the death of your wife you've worked very hard for your son." "Your own business is running well, but you work too much." "If only my husband was like you, my life would be a lot easier." "You must have a nice girlfriend." "No doubt about it." "Men can't do without a woman's support." "I am ready." "I'm going home." "Bye." "See you tomorrow." "I'm going." "See you later." "Something wrong?" "Not really." "See you tomorrow." "Bye." "Hello, with Aoyama." "Ah really?" "So nice." "I thought you wouldn't call anymore." "If I tell you the truth, you probably think I'm depressed." "I've waited anxiously for your phonecall." "I'm sorry." "How are you?" "What's wrong?" "What's so funny?" "I never thought I would see you again." "That's why I am so excited." "Here you are." "I never asked after your parents." "Are they doing okay?" "Yes, they are." "You're from Tokyo, right?" "They moved to Chiba one month ago." "My father likes playing golf and one can do it well there." "Oh really?" "We're not a close family." "But we do care about each other." "We're an average family." "Do you still work in that pub?" "Yes." "In Ginza, right?" "In the Fourth street." "It's called The Stone Fish." "Funny, ey?" "The Stone Fish?" "Shall I come around some time?" "That's kind of you but my boss prefers I keep my private life separated." "If you don't want I come, I won't come." "I'm simply curious." "I'm not lying to you, really." "I promise you." "To be honest with you I have to tell you something about the movie." "Someone else got the part?" "It's not that." "It's about the movie." "The sponsor had difficulties with a part of the story." "We have postponed it." "In the worst case, the entire movie will be canceled." "Really?" "Does it bother you?" "No, but it does to you maybe?" "You've read my letter, right?" "I`ve never expected I should get the leading role." "But that doesn`t matter, because I found you now." "I felt wonderful everytime I looked in the mirror." "I saw the images of me merging with all the nice happenings" "That`s incredible." "I trained hard so I wouldn`t feel the pain." "That`s why I could endure the lessons." "But in the end I had to give up the ballet." "It`s pretty hard to forget that." "But one day you realise life is great." "That`s life, right?" "Thank you." "Living alone isn`t much fun." "I can`t talk to anyone." "Men do approach me but you`re the first who comforts me." "You`re all ears for me and you try to understand me." "Shall we join again for some dinner soon?" "When?" "Err.." "I`m sorry.." "I`ll call you." "I`ll wait for you." "Here, this is my stop." "Can you pull over?" "She has to be here." "Thanks for today." "See you." "Goodnight." "Bye." "To Okusawa." "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "What`s wrong?" "Well, the sheets are dirty." "You say what?" "Well..." "You got yourself a girlfriend." "Am I right?" "You are." "You look different." "Sometimes you even smile." "She's only 24." "She`s more my age." "She must be very pretty." "I like beauty, just like you." "Don`t let it fool you." "I`m smarter as you are." "Did you ask her already?" "Not yet." "We`re leaving this weekend and then I`ll ask her." "Good luck." "I`ll introduce you to her soon." "Very soon, because my intuition is more reliable." "You are in love." "What can we do before dinner?" "I know a nice eating spot with a skilled cook." "He serves delicious food." "But he can be very rude." "There's a small museum nearby." "If we leave now, we can still make it." "It's about a 20 minute drive." "Afterwards we can go to the harbour." "It is a small harbour, but there's a nice coffee-shop." "They got tasty cheesecake there." "The desserts are..." "Come to me." "Please." "Keep your clothes on for now." "Please look at my body." "When I was little, I burned myself." "I want you to know everything about me." "You are very pretty." "Please only love me." "Only me." "Okay." "Everybody says the same." "But I hope that you're different from the others." "Only me." "Okay?" "Only me." "Please, only love me." "Yeah." "Are you mister Aoyama?" "This is the reception." "Yes?" "I am sorry to wake you." "We already phoned a couple of times, but nobody answered the phone." "I'm calling because your partner left and we want to know if you will stay." "Sorry for the point of time, but we want to know." "She left?" "She disappeared?" "Nobody is answering the phone." "I can't reach her in any other way." "I don't know where she lives precisely." "What's happened at the hotel?" "I already told you." "People don't simply disappear all of a sudden, do they?" "Maybe we misunderstood each other." "I want to talk to her in private." "Yoshikawa, Can you find out her address?" "Aoyama, I've only got her CV." "It is impossible." "Get her out of your mind." "I can't." "It`s not that easy." "I can`t convince you but I suggest you get her out of your mind." "According to you I allowed myself to be seduced too much by a young woman." "I could have known that she would let me down." "That's right." "What's the matter?" "You said it yourself that you're not born yesterday." "You have a solution for every problem." "Come on, man." "What?" "It's all right." "What's all right?" "It's all right." "I won't ask for your help anymore." "I go look for her." "I go look for her myself." "Aoyama." "Ballet-studio Shimada" "Hello?" "Excuse me..." "Anybody here?" "Are you mister Shimada?" "I spoke with you on the phone today." "About Asami Yamasaki." "Go home." "I won't beat about the bush." "Have you had any problems with Asami?" "I want to know where I can reach her." "Any clue is good." "Have you seen her?" "Yes." "Have you heard her voice?" "How do you mean?" "Have you touched her?" "Did you take her in your arms?" "How was it?" "Did you like it?" "Have you smelled her?" "Asami..." "Go home." "The Fourth street." "The Stone Fish." "The Stone Fish" "Nobody's there." "It's closed today?" "The pub closed one year ago." "The owner got murdered." "Do you know a girl called Asami who worked here?" "Asami?" "Doesn`t ring a bell." "The owner worked alone." "She worked here three days a week." "I guess it`s just a misunderstanding." "Excuse me." "Why was the owner killed?" "I`m not sure, but the police said she had a problem with men." "The man she was living with was into the musicbusiness." "She used drugs." "Is she killed here?" "Her body was cut into pieces." "The building is just 28 years old And it`s still leaning." "The blood flowed through a hole in the door." "The strange thing about it was..." "The police tried to combine the parts to restore the body and they had three fingers and an ear left." "There was a tongue too many too." "Such a terrible world, isn`t it?" "Dinnertime, Gang." "Hello." "This is Shigehiko." "I stay tonight with a friend." "That`s your choice." "But make sure you eat well." "You may finish the yoghurt." "Gang hided himself under the house." "You want to feed him?" "See you later." "Sorry." "How are you?" "I didn`t expect to see you again." "Sorry if I`m acting childish." "I never asked about your parents." "How are they?" "My parents divorced while I was just a little girl." "I was raised by my uncle." "I really hated it." "I only knew I was abused and tormented." "My aunt was such kind of person." "I got a lot of scars." "You don`t have to tell me, if you don`t want to." "I want you to know everything about me." "In the winter I had to take cold baths." "I got pneumonia because of that." "I broke my collarbone when she pushed me off the stairs." "The doctor was worried.." "...and sent me back to my mother`s home." "When did that happen?" "When I was at the age of 7." "My God." "My mother got married for the second time." "The scars are less now." "But my stepfather hated me so much." "His legs were parlyzed." "Sitting at home the whole day." "I was sitting the whole day in a dark room doing nothing.." "..until my mother came home." "I`m sorry." "It isn`t really a normal story, is it?" "If you are disgusted of me, say it." "Strange..." "The thought never occured to me you could`ve experienced such a tough history." "I made it because of the ballet." "You`re talented." "I don`t know." "But the dancing had a neutralizing effect on the dark side of me." "That`s why I never even tried to commit suicide." "I think you`re wonderful." "I`ve searched long to find somebody like you." "Honey?" "Ryoko..." "This is a good moment." "I want you to meet Asami." "No." "She`s no good for you." "That`s not true." "She is a very pretty lady." "No..." "Darling, no." "Now." "I want you now." "Asami." "This was a mistake." "You had sex with me." "Only once." "I expected more from you." "Was that foolish of me?" "I`m sorry." "Forgive me." "Everything to please you." "And I like to do this." "What are you doing?" "Stop it!" "You got a hard-on." "Stop it!" "There were 3 fingers and a ear left." "There was a tongue too many." "You only love me." "Only me." "Asami." "Asami." "Dance for me." "Dance." "Dance." "Dance, bitch." "Dance or else I`ll torture you." "Please, dance for me." "Please." "Dance." "Asami you`re sweet." "Asami." "With this wire you can cut through flesh and bones very easily." "You`re wonderful.." "I`ve never felt unhappy because I was always unhappy." "Stop it." "No." "Men can`t live without the help of women." "Otherwise they`ll extinct." "We`ll hold an audition." "My son told me I was looking old and I should remarry." "That`s why I decided." "Asami." "You..." "You can`t move anymore but your nerves are fully aware of everything." "You can enjoy the pain and at the same time suffer greatly." "You collected girls with that audition." "They don`t pass." "And afterwards you contact them." "You`re only looking for sex." "All men are the same." "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "Does that hurt?" "Words create lies." "Pain is something you can trust." "Right?" "You can feel pain and you can study the human body." "Deeper." "This is the most sensitive point." "That`s right, isn`t it?" "And this is the same point." "Just like this one." "Right?" "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "Well, under the eyes is pretty painful too." "You realise what kind of man you are when you`re experiencing pain." "Whenever you experience an enormeous amount of pain, you`ll understand." "Your son is called Shigehiko, hè?" "If your son experiences the pain you`ll even understand it better." "Stop it..." "Stay away from my son." "You love your son too, don`t you?" "Liar, you only love me." "You`re the only one I have." "You got so many others." "I don`t want to be one of them." "Even if I gave myself totally to you then you`re still not totally mine." "Everybody is the same." "Everybody." "Everybody." "Without feet you can`t go anywhere." "And with this wire you can cut through flesh and bones very easily." "Stop it.!" "Your rightfoot." "I`m home!" "Are you still awake?" "My friend became sick very suddenly and we called an ambulance." "Are you there?" "What the hell happened?" "What is happening here?" "What`s wrong?" "Are you feeling okay?" "I want to." "I agree with your proposal." "What?" "Your wedding proposal I accept it." "Marriage proposal?" "It`s just like a dream." "I`m so happy." "I did an audition." "I was the happiest woman on earth." "I didn`t get the leading role but I got the real leading role." "Deeper, deeper, deeper.!" "What`s happening here?" "Who are you?" "What the hell do you want, dammit?" "Dad..." "Are you still alive?" "Dad..." "Call the police..." "The police." "Is this the police?" "You`re speaking with Aoyama in Okusawa." "Send an ambulance as soon as you can." "My father and a woman are badly injured.." "No, I don`t know the details." "His left foot is chopped off and it`s bleeding badly." "The address is Okusawa 6-20-4." "I thought you were busy." "I don`t know exactly what kind of work you do." "Perhaps I seem a little pushy... ..but I was eagerly awaiting your phonecall." "I never thought we would ever see each other again." "Sorry for sounding so childish." "Living alone is not fun." "I got nobody to talk with." "You are the first who cares about me." "You`re all ears for me." "And you try to understand me." "It`s hard to forgive." "But there will be a day you realise life is great." "That`s life, right?"
