" I had a good idea." " One hot dog please." "I don't think there are things in this world that will always be impossible." "Looks like fun." "Look like a very friendly trio." "If it doesn't sell, it has no value" " for our company." " So you're cutting us?" "You know that you're cutting so many jobs, right?" "What can you two do?" "Anyway, what can you do on your own?" "How about we make thermoses?" " Huh?" " It's settled." "What do you want with me?" "This is me." "Hirose Fund." "You're the President of Hirose Fund?" "Why do you want to meet Kindaichi-san?" "Ah, can I have a moment?" " What is it?" " Come here." " What what..." " Come on." "Unbelievable..." "Why are you so worked up?" "That guy is Yoko-chan's father." "But this is" " a good stir fry." " It's just weeds." " We get it at the park." " The park?" " Yoko-chan, your girlfriend?" " Wait, Kindaichi?" "You're going out with his daughter?" " Well, it's complicated now." " What?" " You broke up?" " Well, it's been a bit confusing." "We haven't really spoken and shes acting weird around me." "I love him." "What do you think of him?" "Ah, well, I just want to make sure but it's not my fault, right?" " No." " Of course not!" " I'm glad then." " It's not a good thing!" "Anyway, why is her father here anyway?" "He's here to take revenge on the unworthy boyfriend." " Revenge?" " That's how fathers are." "If someone messed with my daughter, I'd punch them 2 or 3 times..." " I didn't mess around..." " Then what?" "Hey, how long are you going to keep him waiting?" "We'll be there soon." "I said, we'll be there soon." " Hurry up!" " Be quiet!" "Moai-san, what should I do?" "Just apologize sincerely and let him hit you two or three times." " Really?" " Yes." " I can't do it!" " Sorry to keep you waiting." " Sorry..." " It's okay, I had some hot water." "Ah, you're Hirose Yoko-san's father, right?" "Yes, I am." " Apologize." " I'm sorry for" " everything." " Huh?" "I have been going out with her but for personal reasons I haven't been able to see her..." "He's been having some trouble recently." "He had to quit his job suddenly" " and other things." " He's been very optimistic, if not a little reckless." "Maybe with your daughter..." "But, I am very serious about going out with her." "He just likes to show off a bit..." "Show off?" "Well, I'd say he's a free spirit..." "A free spirit, yeah." "But, he's not the type to mess around with girls, right?" " Of course not." " That's right" " he has no money." " No talents." " You should break up with her." " Yeah well..." "Well, I didn't want her to get involved with all of this." "So, I'm very sorry." "I'd understand if you don't want me to see her again..." "I'd like to apologize for him." " Please deal with him however you like." " I see." "That's your relationship with my daughter." "Yes." "Huh?" " Here." " Huh?" "Excuse me." "I used to be their boss..." " Moai-san!" "Idiot!" " Idiot?" " Not you." " You called me an idiot?" " Idiot..." " Be quiet!" " You didn't need to..." " It's an important talk." "I understand your feelings." "But I came here for a different reason today." " Different?" " This is the first I've heard of a relationship." "Really?" " My stomach is hurting." " Moai-san, you were wrong." "Then, why are you here?" " Hot dog." " Huh?" "The president of a food chain that I'm investing in is interested in your hot dog stand." "He wants to expand it on a large scale." "So if you were interested, I'd like to buy the rights to your stand." "It's quite sudden, buying the rights..." "How about ten million yen?" "Ten million?" " Not enough?" " Ah..." " That's not..." " Now that you say that..." " Sure!" " Wait a minute." "What's wrong?" "We can't decide it by ourselves we have to talk to someone else." "Huh?" "Ten million?" "Really?" "Yes." "How about it?" "Our group and you each get ten million yen." "And then you get a five percent cut of our earnings..." " A cut?" " A cut." "It's not a bad deal." "What?" "There's nothing wrong with it!" "It's actually a big help." "But can we really get all that money?" "Of course we can!" "They heard your hot dogs were the best." "Ah...thanks so much!" "Thank you so much!" " Thank you!" " Me too?" "Members of the media, thank you very much for waiting." "We'll begin our presentation now." "First, a word from our president, Oyashiki." "Hello, I'm the president, Oyashiki Toichiro." "Thank you for coming today." "To begin, I'll like to announce the changing of our company's name, Miracle Thermos." "Miracle Electronics Incorporated." "We will be going on a brand new path as an electronics maker." "Please continue to give us your support." "On our screen now we have the Miracle Electronics lineup for winter 2012." "We will now have a Q and A session." "Those with questions, please raise your hands." " Here." " I'll begin." "In regards to the current lineup will you continue selling those products?" "As I said before, we will completely leave the thermos market." "Are there any other questions?" "Huh?" "Business Paper is leaving already?" "Miracle's products look pretty good." "Nomi-san is a critical one." "The Next One article always picks a winner." "Not really." "Whatever I pick people just seem to focus on anyway." "Of course." "How was Miracle Thermos's presentation?" " The new president seems excited." " I heard they had to let a lot of people go though." "So?" "What's the Next One product?" "Tell me." "Editor, I tell you everytime, it's a secret." "Your articles are so famous." "The companies always bug you to feature their products." "That's because I really look into each one." "So reliable!" "Well, I look forward to next time." "Ah, Haruka-chan!" "He's picked the next one!" "We have our column!" "What's with the sighing?" "I haven't picked the next one." "Really?" "You just said you did." "I always said that I did even if I didn't." "That's my policy." "But I haven't felt good about anything yet." "They're taking the cart too?" " I spoke with Nobu-san." " I see." "That's part of the contract." "We'll be taking it from here." "We only had it for awhile, but it was our partner." " Please take care of it." " Of course." "We'll be making a lot of hot dog carts are our company." "And we'll dedicate this one as the number one cart." "Thank you." "Well, let's divide up our share?" " Hmm?" " From the ten million," "Kindaichi-san and me will each take four million." "Moai-san" " gets 2 million." "Okay?" " Wait a second!" "Why do I get so little?" "You went for an interview and didn't help us as much." "Yeah, true but..." "You weren't as busy then!" "You saw what I did for the cart." "What you did?" "You just complained and sighed." " I've decided!" " Decided?" "On what?" " All of it." " Hmm?" "I'll take all of it." "Translation:" "Rollins Timing: furransu" "Priceless" " There's no such thing!" "Ten million for a thermos?" "Are you" " serious?" " I've always been serious." "But Kindaichi, think about it..." "Hey, think about it!" "Ten million for a thermos?" "Anyway, I'm going to see if its feasible for now." "Then we'll talk." " But Kindaichi!" " Wait!" "Where are you going?" "Ah, this is terrible." "Good work today." "What do you want?" "Ah, well..." "I've been looking at this while I've been waiting." "While I was working here I always walked right by and never really looked at it." "It's quite good." "I wondered, why a thermos?" "I mean, there are a lot of products out there." "What made the last president start making them?" "Why did he choose to make a thermos?" "Did you ever hear anything about that?" "I never did, but I don't need to to know why." "My father saw a market for it when he made the company." "He believed that they would sell in the market." "Ah." "I see." "State your business." "Is it true that you've stopped making thermoses?" " If so, what?" " Well, the factory." "I wondered what's going to happen to it." "Can I have it for a month?" " Five million for the month." " Five million?" "Five million." " Okay then." "Five million." " What do you plan to do?" "I wanted to make a thermos." " Sure." "Do as you like." " Thank you." "You can't be the president." "Last week we stopped production." "We're in the middle of cleaning up and looking for new jobs." "Sounds tough." "Anyway, why are you here today?" "Could you make a thermos with five million yen?" " Huh?" " I got permission to use" " this factory for a month." " Five million?" "There he is!" "Kindaichi-san, we've been looking all over!" "I figured he'd be with Tsuji-san." "I've been talking with him." "To see if we could make thermoses with five million." " Five million?" " I used five million to get permission to use this place." " Ah, we're too late!" " Hmm?" "Really...sorry to be bothering you.l" "Right?" "We can't make a thermos, right?" "Ah, well, it's not impossible." "I think we can get the materials with it." "But we couldn't make a lot." " Right, Kindaichi-san." " Just a few won't..." "A few is fine." "Just need to get started." " Get started?" " How about it?" "Well I was thinking about retiring." "Let's make a few good souvenirs for our last month." " Huh?" " Tsuji-san, really..." "I'm not looking to make souvenirs." "I'm serious." "I really want to make a thermos." "Sell that thermos and then we'll start making more and more, right?" "You make it sound so easy." " Please." " Well I'll look into the materials and make one." "How about this one?" "Its our best seller." "We can easily estimate how much we'll get." " How about this?" " Oh." "That's not for sale." "That's just a prototype I made." "Huh?" "You let Moai-san use it before, right?" " Yeah." " I had a food cart then and the soup didn't get cold at all." " Right, Moai-san?" " Yeah, that's right." "Moai-san!" "It's a prototype but perhaps the best thermos ever." " The best." " You have to take weight and strength into account, but the most important thing is insulation." "So I wanted to make one that kept things warm forever." "In theory you could make one that keeps things the same temperature for 2 days." "2 days?" "Then that's the one!" " Let's make it." " We can't." " Why not?" " It'll cost too much." "Even if you did make it, you'd have to sell it for at least" " 30000 yen to get a profit." " It's okay!" "A good thing will definitely sell." "By the way, Tsuji-san, how finished is this one?" " I'd say about 80 percent." " Then..." " Then..." " Moai-san." " You're almost there." " The last 20 percent has been extremely difficult to finish." " Do you understand?" " I understand, of course." "I really wanted to make it." "But, the best thermos ever..." "There's nothing..." "There's nothing in this world that's impossible." " Right Kindaichi?" " That's right." "In any case, making this thermos." "For better or worse, it'll be our last project." "How about it?" "Why don't try believing in it and finish?" "Of course, I'll help out too." "Unlike before, I have a lot more free time." "How about it Tsuji-san?" "If it can't be helped..." " Hey Moai." " Yes?" "Get ready for some sleepless nights." "I look forward to it." " Kindaichi." " Yes?" " Let's make the best thermos ever!" " Let's do it." "This is going to be great." "You won't get any sleep." "At all." " Why did you call me so suddenly?" " My meeting was canceled so I figured we could go eat?" "Don't just call me at your whim." "I usually have plans after work." "You do?" "Well, not today." "You're going out with Kindaichi-san?" " How do you know that?" " I went to visit him recently." "He told me about it." "Huh?" "Why did you see him?" "Things haven't been going well, I heard." "I think he's an interesting man though." "Fumi-kun said all that?" "You're an adult now." "You can do as you like." " Enomoto, let's go." " Okay." " Good work today!" " Good work today." "We don't need this anymore." " Huh?" " This." "The new Miracle Electronics doesn't need it." " Dispose of it." " Yes." " 1500 yen for three." " Three people, exactly." " I'm paying for you here.\" " Sorry." "You're going from a food cart to thermoses?" "No time to relax!" "We're not looking to relax, we're looking for a new challenge, right Moai-san?" " Hmm?" "Yes." " Still looks sad." " He's always like that." " Always?" "Just you two today?" "What about that girl?" "Nikaido-san doesn't want to do it." "She was getting angry," " you kept pushing the issue." " You say that but you made the final push." "Why are you blaming me for your actions?" " Anyway..." " You should take responsibility for your actions." " You used my money." " Responsibility?" "We haven't failed yet." "We need a plan to avoid failure." "Here." "I looked into the legal details of getting a company setup." "Huh?" "We're a company?" "Of course!" "We could say we're working on our own but for things like tax and expansion it's better to think about it early." " Really?" " "Really?"" "You didn't know any of this" " and you want to make thermoses?" " Sorry." "We'll be busy with documents." "Anyway, who is the President?" "Well then, I guess..." " I've got the tie." " The three of us." "When they brought it up I said it was Kindaichi-san." " Me?" " Kindaichi!" "Great!" "You're a president now?" "I'm an executive." "And me?" " You're staff." " Staff?" " Good luck staff!" " Break that glass ceiling!" "Glass ceiling?" "Do you even know what that means?" " Anyway, you should change your attitude." " Thanks." "Glass ceiling isn't the" " appropriate word..." " I got it." "Did you decide on the company name?" " I did." " Really?" "Again deciding things for yourself?" "I just thought of it!" " Take a look outside." " Outside?" "Where are we going?" " This." " Huh?" " Happiness." " Happiness?" "Well, I've already decided this month's but if you have any suggestions for next month..." "Thanks." "Good bye." "Or so I say..." "Haruka-chan, I'm looking forward to the Next One!" "Looks like you're having a tough time." "Going to make the deadline?" "Have I ever missed it?" "I've done this plenty of times." "I just need to visit some shops." "As we discussed." "Thank you very much." "This is making me nervous." "I've never had this much." "But you're making thermoses?" "An interesting guy, as always." "I don't get it." "You didn't want to make something that has more demand?" "Wouldn't you want to make the best thermos ever?" " That's your only reason?" " Yes." "Wanting to make the best thermos ever." "There was someone before who said the same thing." "Who?" "Oyashiki Iwao." "The former president of Miracle Thermos." "You knew him?" "Yes." "Me and Iwao-san, we worked at the same home cookware company." "He was a veteran when I came in and he taught me a lot." "Then one day suddenly he quit, without much money, saying he wanted to make a thermos." "He was always a little reckless." "Haha, you're one to talk." " Sorry." " No, I think he was too." "He was throwing away a stable life, I wondered why." "Do you know why he wanted to make thermoses?" "I think it was something from his childhood." "Something warm to drink whenever you wanted it." "It's commonplace now but before you didn't always have electricity or gas." "That's when it really did seem like a miracle." "I don't think he ever forgot how he felt back then." "He wanted people to have the same experience with a thermos as he did." "That's what pushed him to make them." " Ah, that's great." " What is?" "His reason to start making thermoses." "It's great." "Thank you." "Ah, Fumi-kun." " Oh, long time no see." " Yeah." "I just met up with your father." " Ah, about work?" " Yeah, kind of." "I see." "That's good." " What is?" " Hmm..." "You'll be back to your old self." " Huh?" " Well..." "You're starting a new job." "Not like that food cart." " Yeah." " I was worried." "I thought you changed maybe." "I never changed though." "Yeah..." " Well, I've got to work." " Oh." " Good luck." " Yeah." "Well, let's begin our meeting to make the best thermos ever." "In regards to our time line, we only have this factory for a month." "That's our limit." "So we'll make as many thermoses as we can in two weeks." "The other two weeks will be spent on sales." "President." "If we can't make them in" " two weeks, what happens?" " We'll do our best." "Do our best?" "What if we don't sell them?" " We'll do our best." " Do our best?" " That's a great plan." " Thank you." "Do you know what he's saying?" " We're just going on feeling..." " Quiet down staff." "We've got a busy month ahead." "Everyone, do your best." " No good." " This one too." "Figured it wouldn't be that easy." "Next one." "Ah, 18-0." "No good." "What about the 20-20 we asked for two days ago?" "Ah, they just called us." " It'll be here tomorrow." " That's" " not good enough!" " Tsuji-san." " Here, 20-20." " Oh!" " We went to get it." " Okay!" " Let's get to work." " Yes." "Good work today everyone!" "I've brought food!" "Hot dogs." " All right!" " Good work today." "So I'll look over the project plans to figure out the financing." "I'm sure you'll find it agreeable." "Our company is looking to go international and expand operations." "I wonder what your father would think if he was still alive?" "I'm sure he would agree." "My father knew how tough the business world is more than anyone." "He'd even be okay with you getting rid of the unprofitable thermos business?" "Of course." "I used to be the complete opposite of your father." "And especially when it came to the value of money." "Value?" "President Iwao used to say this." "No matter how much money you have, you can't take it to the next life." "He wasn't a stupid man." "And he wasn't just focused on profits and losses." "So you don't approve of what I'm doing?" "I'm sorry." "Is that how it sounded?" "Ah, damn it!" "But it was good for a day and a half." "Isn't a day good enough already?" "Stupid!" "We're looking for the best thermos ever!" "Let's try again." "We need to find something that conducts heat better." "We're almost at our development deadline." " Tsuji-san." " Hmm?" "How about raising the vacuum?" " Vacuum?" " Yes." "The last president used to talk about how important it was." "I see." "Moai, let's try that?" " Okay." " Sure." " This'll cost more money." " A vacuum." "We're really not making them anymore." "What's going to happen to this company?" " The second day...95 degrees." " All right!" "Fantastic!" "We did it!" "The best thermos ever." "This is amazing." "Keeping the same temperature for 2 days." "It's a world record!" " Get Guinness." " Great." "It's all thanks to you." "It's not time to celebrate yet." "Now we need to calculate." "So we start producing these, how" " much will it be?" " Let's see." " To get a profit..." " What is it?" "This is no good." "It'll never sell." " Why?" " It costs so much to product." "We need to sell them at" " 60000 yen for a profit." " 60000 yen?" " Isn't that a bit much?" " It's your fault." "Not sure how but it's your fault." "Wait a minute." "My fault?" "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have finished it." "Sure, but let's be realistic," " it costs too much." " It's fine!" " The best thermos ever, right?" " The best one ever" " at 60000..." " Someone will buy it" " even at 60000." " It's that good." " It's too much!" " It'll be fine!" "Anyway, we have to do our best." "Ah, Aida-san is in charge here." " Okay." " 60000 yen?" " Yes." " Are you stupid?" " I'm not..." " Stupid?" "We can't sell a thermos that expensive." " No no." " No way." " Ahh...that hurts!" " No, it didn't." "Ah...ow..." "You could get ten hot water dispensers for that much." "Sorry." " Nope, sorry." " Next..." "This is no good." "You're starting to sound like Moai-san." "No, I'm not." "Sorry." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Just hear me out." "This." "It's been holding hot water for two days." "Take a look." "Please." "Huh?" "Just a minute." "Ah, that's hot!" "It's hot, right?" "Surprised me too!" "Hey, I told you I can't take it." "This was two days ago!" "Really!" "Didn't you just put it in now?" "No, I didn't!" "I have witnesses!" "This is no good at all." "We don't know that." "We've still got places." "And what if they say no?" " Hey, we've still got some places left." " But we have no luck." "We're just going to stay poor after all." "You say stuff like that then it might happen." "Huh, really?" "Sure, okay." " Really?" " The 60000 yen thermos?" "I can't turn down Kindaichi-san." " He's done so much for me." " Thank you very much." "We've got a lot of space" " so you can store it here." " Really?" "Oh, thank you so much." "And maybe you could make me another lure?" " Sure." " The last one" " was great, but it broke." " Oh!" "?" " It broke?" " Sorry." "Edde Electronics took all 200 of them." "Unbelievable." "They'd take them all at that price." "I'm surprised too." "Moai-san, the former sales manager," " wasn't able to sell one." " I haven't" " been in the field in awhile!" " It's fine." " There's the excuses." " It's not an excuse!" "Come on." "Let's go!" " It's the best thermos ever." " Let's go." "Smile." "Okay, there it is." "Okay, cheese." " It's fine." " It's an excuse!" " Anyway, I..." " You're always making excuses." "That's good, right?" "Okay." "Enomoto-kun, you're close with Kindaichi, right?" " Huh?" " Well..." "You helped him with the portable rice cookers." "And the hot dogs the other day." "You helped there too." "He did terrible things, why are you supporting him?" "Are you not happy with your position at the company?" "No, that's not what I was doing." " No?" " Right." "Then think about this." "This company pays your salary, right?" "Then perhaps you should probably fall in line with how things go around here, right?" " Right?" " Yes." "That's how it is." "Right?" "Maybe we'll get extra orders." " True." " We should think about that." "President!" "President!" "Ah sorry." "Chief Sawatari from" "Edde Electronics called and said to come right over." "Sounds like an additional order!" " Here." " You said so." "We'll have to take your thermos off our shelves tomorrow." "Huh?" "You said we could keep them here until they sold." "Sorry, it's already been decided." "I'm really sorry." " Did something happen?" " Ah..." "Something did, huh?" "Actually, we got a call from Miracle." "They're pressuring you?" "We're selling their products now." "They don't want the competition." "I'm really sorry." "No no, it's nothing for you to apologize about." "By the way, the call...was it from Director Zaizen?" " No." " Who?" "Your employee." "Enomoto-kun." "I see." "Thank you." " Sorry." " Ah, right!" "Almost forgot." "No, I can't take that." " Go ahead." " But..." "It has nothing to do with this." " I made this for you." " Kindaichi-san." " Thanks." " Not at all." "See you." " Ah, sorry about the cardboard." " Not at all." "Hello." "Hey Enomoto, could you go to Edde Electronics again and ask them to put my thermos back again?" " I can't." " Hey, I'm serious." "Really!" "Seriously, please help me." "Stop bowing." "I'm sorry about all this." "But this is all I can do." "I can't live my life like you." " Huh?" " I think it's great to do what you like." "But, I think you're not being realistic." "Are you serious?" " I'm kidding." " Sorry." "We didn't sell even one, huh?" "With nowhere to sell them, we're done." "I'm sorry." "It's all my fault." "Don't worry about it." "You did your best." "Really, I'm thankful." "It was fun to finish up that project." "Thank you, Kindaichi." "At least we were working for a month." "Well, there's always the next job." "I feel like we're back at square one though." "No job and no money." "But, we'll make it, right Kindaichi?" "Huh?" "Kindaichi!" "Be more positive!" " Don't say we have no money." " But..." " I'm going for a walk." " Hey!" " The rain!" " Kindaichi, it's raining!" "Bring an umbrella!" "Hurry up." "We'll get in touch with them tomorrow." " Please." " Okay." "By the way, Kindaichi's thermos project." "He didn't even sell one." "I see." "You." "What are you doing here this late?" " The thermos." " Huh?" "The thermos that was here." "They took them." "I think it's out back in the trash." "Something warm to drink whenever you wanted it." "He wanted people to have the same experience with a thermos as he did." "I don't think he ever forgot how he felt back then." "I think it's great to do what you like." "But, I think you're not being realistic." "Too expensive." " Who'd ever buy that?" " Seriously." "No one would ever get it." " Eat it..." " Be quiet!"
