" That's it" "It's not working..." "Something's stuck inside" "Do you have a lover, Akiyo?" "No..." "There is someone I like a lot" "But it'll never come true" "And I don't think I'll ever meet someone better than him" "Maybe it's better not to be so sure" "If you don't take things so seriously, life is a lot more fun" ""Fun"..." "Is it that important?" "Satoko, how about some tea?" "Good idea" "Let's have some tea..." "Akiyo, over here" "Chihiro should clean up her own mess" "Are you sure here's okay?" "I can take you all the way home" "This is fine" "Well, see ya tomorrow" "Thanks for the tomatoes" "No problem" "I wish fifty years would flash by in a second" "Toko" "Can I borrow this?" "In feng shui, if you put pink objects near the window, it brings love" "Go for it" "It's starting to look like God" "Sorry, I'm trying to finish this" "This is kind of shitty to ask, but can I borrow some money?"

"She said that you let men do it without condoms" "What?" "Sorry for coming inside you..." "Keep it secret from Michiru, okay?" "We've checked with a bunch of train stations, but..." "Miss Kondo didn't mean to lose it" "So, could you do another illustration for us?" "Naturally, we'll pay an additional fee for it" "Well..." "You had to redraw the image two or three times anyway, so we'd be thankful if you could whip off one more version" "Hello, Osaki speaking" "Oh, I apologize..." "I'll call you back in a few minutes" "Goodbye" "I'll redraw it" "Really?" "That's great" "Now, about the schedule..." "But..." "Yes?" "First, can I get a proper apology?" "Oh, I'm really sorry" "She thinks she's hot shit" "Fall Book Fair" "Summer Book Fair" "Are you okay?" "Hey, are you okay?" "I didn't mean it like that..." "My drawings are the only thing that matter to me" "I work so hard on them..." "I just want people to think they're important" "So apologize through your tears!" "That'd be enough..." "If you cried for forgiveness..." "I'd draw hundreds more!" ""Heaven is the only place of happiness"" ""Someday you'll understand that"" "Sorry I'm late" "Are you all right?" "Yes, my husband just gets a bit jealous, that's all" "Love's a strange thing..." "Oh, Akiyo left early today" "Good evening" "Hey Satoko, are you free after work?" "Isn't the night view pretty?" "You're not drinking?" "I am!" "I just can't relax..." "Really?" "When I'm with you, I'm totally relaxed" "I'm thinking of separating from my wife" "Oh, I didn't know you were married" "No kids, though" "I recently met a girl that I like a lot" "You wanna know who?" "Well, it's you" "Welcome home" "I thought I'd cook you dinner!" "Wow, it's really full" "Are you hungry?" "I can cook now" "Maybe it'd be more convenient to have a second key" "Huh?" "That way, I can have dinner all ready for you when you get home" "But I'm always coming home late..." "Anyway, it's not like we're married" "You'd get bored of waiting" "Yeah, maybe" "What about your last train?" "Oh, it's okay" "Taxi fare from here is crazy, and I can't give you a lift" "I'll go then..." "Okay, see you" "Take it easy" "Oh, Chihiro?" "Can you take this stuff with you?" "I don't cook at home" "Hey, Toko" "Hi" "This letter..." "What is this?" "Isn't that your ex?" "It's only been six months since you broke up" "What the hell?" "What's so funny?" "Isn't it sad?" "Why?" "It's ancient history!" "I take back my request to have the shop manager killed" "But..." "When I said I wanted a boyfriend, I didn't mean just anybody" "I want to like someone, and by some miracle, he likes me back" "Oh, please" "How dare you say you love me when you're wearing a wedding ring" ""If everyone dies, it's okay"" ""So die, Aida"" ""You'll never be happy!"" "Well, here's your final pay plus a little extra I put in" "Thank you" "You're really quitting?" "I meant what I said before" "Come back anytime, okay?" "Thanks a lot" "I have good memories of working here" "Hey, don't!" "Stop it!" ""Am I to your liking?"" "God, please kill him after all" "This is the voice-mail center..." ""Now Hiring" " Japanese Speakers"" "Hello, Raieiken" "Yes" "Thank you, may I take your order?" "That's ramen, dumplings and fried rice" "We'll deliver that to you as soon as possible" "Goodbye" "Lee, an order of ramen, dumplings and fried rice" "There's inflammation..." "It could be followed by hemorrhaging" "Rough activity like that isn't good..." "It's a sensitive part of the body" "You're not that young anymore" "Thank you" "You should choose your partners more carefully" "When was the last time you had your period?" "Would you like to try them on?" "Yes, please" "Like this..." "Take a look" "They're perfect" "Could you wrap them please?" "They're a present" "Of course" ""I think the things that live off dead bodies are revolting"" ""When daphnia die, their bodies dissolve into water"" ""I'd like to disappear that way...""

"Sort of" "He won the grand prize in the new architects competition" "I got an invite for the award party..." "I can't just grin and bear it" "Don't worry, you're a late bloomer!" "Another beer, please" "Hold your horses, I'm broke this month" "How about drinking at your place?" "My place?" "If we drink at home, it doesn't cost as much..." "My treat" "Hello?" "Toko?" "Thank you" "Cheers" "I thought you quit smoking" "Yeah, then I started again" "Weakling!" "No, there's just a lot of stuff bugging me" "Hey, Kikuchi..." "Why don't we fool around, just once?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "Just once, okay?" "No..." "I have a girlfriend" "I don't like you that way either" "You know..." "Why did I have to be a Virgo?" "It's sad" "Nagai is an Aries..." "A fire sign" "I'm an earth sign..." "We're a bad match by nature" "Plus, my blood type is B..." "I don't think I'm cut out for my job" "Anybody can do that work" "I need a job with more responsibility" "What?" "What's wrong?" "Are my problems boring?" "No, why do you say that?" "No reason" "But you're lucky" "You make lots of money, and your name is known in that world" "And you can make your opinions heard" "But you don't know the pain and fear people like me have" "Are you making fun of me?" "No, I'm just saying I'm jealous" "I'm not having it as easy as you think" "In any case, even if I told you, you wouldn't get it" ""In any case"?" "Basically you're looking down on me" "I'm not looking down on you" "It's not like that" "The fact that you think that is worse" "Get off your high horse" "Chihiro!" "I don't have a condom" "Dinnertime" "Aren't you gonna eat, Lee?" "It's getting cold" "What is that, lost and found?" "It's pretty" "Like a virgin" "Sorry..." "I'm the one who should say sorry..." "I was totally drunk!" "Sorry" "It's only sex, you don't need to keep saying "sorry"" "It's ridiculous" "Saying sorry isn't fair..." "You're gonna be late" "I - like - fall" "I - like - fall" "The long autumn rains" "I feel like having sex while I watch it come down..." "No, I didn't mean it like that!" "I wasn't referring to you" "Call it humble simplicity..." "Yeah" "Miss Iwase?" "Registered mail..." "Sign here, please" "Thank you" ""Dear Toko, How are you?"" ""As you already know, I got married"" ""Here's the money I borrowed from you"" ""Good luck in what you're doing"" ""Toru Aida"" "After all this time" "Coming here like this..." "I'm sorry, but I..." "I want you to be straight with me" "You don't answer my calls and you won't see me..." "I get it" "But I'm stupid, so I need to hear it directly from you" "I live with a friend of mine" "She split up with her boyfriend six months ago, but she's over it" "When I asked her how she got over it so quickly, she said" ""If I think someone's really important to me, it's tough when they're gone"" ""But if I think I hate the guy, it can even make me glad he's gone"" "That's a strange way to be" "I think it's..." "I've gotta get back to work" "I know I'm bothering you, but let me finish" "When I think of you, I don't want to hate you" "I want to feel I had the greatest love in the world" "If we just stop seeing each other, I'll start liking someone else, and I don't want to just forget you!" "So..." "Say it" "Chihiro..." "Let's break up" "I'm very sorry" "Hey" "What the fuck is this?" "I apologize, sir" "You better be sorry" "Kikuchi has touched my body..." "No one else is allowed to" "Hello, Raiei-whoops" "Satoko speaking" "Hi, Yuri" "A funeral?" "Whose?" "Hey, you" "You seem kind, but you really don't care about me at all, do you?" "Of course you don't" "Were you calling back home?" "Yes" "Is your mother okay?" "Thank you..." "You made me remember something" "It was so sudden, I can't believe it" ""Cerebral thrombosis" or something..." "I'm not sure" "And his kids are still so young" "So he did have kids..." "Is it scary to die?" "What are you talking about?" "Now, we must bid farewell" "Lee, can I have the salt?" "Thanks" "Excuse me" "These noodles suck" "I know" "Don't, it's rude" " Have some beer" " Thank you" "Me, too" "Hey Satoko, that apron really suits you" "Hey, I was still eating that" "Never mind, if we don't leave now we'll be late for work" "The shop is open today?" "No idea" "Oh, by the way, how's Akiyo?" "Akiyo?" "Not too good..." "She beat up a customer..." "Unbelievable!" "Kikuchi?" "It's me" "I wanna meet today" "Even if you have plans, I still wanna meet" "Meet me" "What are you doing here?" "Don't look" "Just get out" "Get out" "All this time..." "You've been doing this?" "Please, get out" "Get out" "Toko..." "I really like you" "I've liked you for a long time" "Kikuchi?" "Yeah?" "Thank you" "Here's a box lunch and some tea" "Thanks" "Oh, here..." "Forget it" "No, this is the money I borrowed" "Chihiro..." "I really hated you" "I really hated you, too" "See you" "Take care" "It's been a long time..." "How are you?" "Why put a Ferris wheel here?" "Wanna ride it?" "Nah" "You can see my house, but it's pretty tiny" "Why here?" "No special reason..." "I couldn't get a loan" "You need a lump of cash in Tokyo" "Anyway, it's close to the ocean" "Brings back memories" "Chihiro" "Cake from Shimamura Bakery?" "'Cause we didn't have any on your birthday" "Ever since I was a little kid, I had Shimamura cake on my birthday" "I knew you'd like it" "Eating cake by the beach..." "It's just like a scene out of a Harlequin romance" "Don't tease me" "I think I'll grow old in this town" "Here" "Thanks" "What is that?" "Tears" "Tears I've collected since I left for Tokyo until yesterday" "Today, I'm gonna pour them in the ocean" "Hey..." "Let me have them" "I can use them to mix paints" "No!" "Let your tears go, too" "This is the head" "Is it?" "Wow!" "Ta-da" "It's for your house and the baby..." "Isn't it nice?" "What's it supposed to be?" "Well..." "Thanks" "Oh, and..." "This" "You asked me before if I thought there was a God" "For me, this is God" "A rock?" "It really answered my prayers" "Look..." "A vapor trail!" "Oh, yeah" "Hey" "That picture..."
