"Not really buying anything." "Answer me." "Answer me!" "Who the heck are you?" "Please don't do that." "What did you say?" "I said "please don't do that."" "You, you were looking at me right from the beginning." "You wanna fight?" "Huh?" "Wanna fight?" "Is there something wrong?" "Please calm down." "Are you okay?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Sorry, the police wants to see you for the records." "Okay." "You can go now." "Thank you." "Then..." "If it's fine for you, can you tell me your name and address?" "Wait." "Give it to me too, please." "Hey miss, you forgot to fill this out." "What?" "If you can, write it down for me too." "I have to thank you again." "Ah...is that so...sorry." "Why did you help?" "Ah..." "Not really..." "I couldn't stand to see you like that." "In the end it was the police who helped." "No, you helped too." "Because of your help..." "Thank you very much." "How come I didn't ask the girl for her address." "I had never been thanked by a girl, so I was really nervous and didn't know what to do..." "Send." "So noisy..." "Don't come in." "Your dinner is by the door." "And, you are just one of the hundreds of men that girl has met." "What?" "You met a girl on a train?" "If I can receive a thank you then..." "Captain, give what our single man wants to hear most." "Hey, just leaving your name and address to a girl is quite a feat for us singles." "Didn't you tell her your address?" "I think she will go to your home to thank you, so don't worry about it." "I think Densha Otoko is great for stopping a drunk man." "But a simple gift, isn't that just out of courtesy?" "Don't get your hopes up." "People like you are rare these days." "Your masculine index has gone up by 1%." "You should be happy." "Thank you, everyone." "If I can, I will report what happens next for sure." "Hey, come over here." "No, no, take a look at this." "Hurry." "No matter what I do they won't go away." "Ah, thank you." "So what about the meeting today?" "I have something I need to do..." "No way..." "This is bad." "Who else can go to the meeting?" "(Attention please." "Doors are closing.)" "Breaking news!" "I just got an express delivery from the girl!" "There is a very cute envelope and letter!" "Take a look, it's that train guy." "It's a gift box with tea cups." "I think the letter smells nice too." "Calm down." "You are just imagining the smell." "Express delivery..." "Then did you get her phone number?" "It's on the delivery slip..." "Then, call her now." "Tell her that the gift arrived." "Call now." "No..." "Calling a girl, I don't know how..." "What brand are the cups?" "Maybe we can tell what she's thinking." "It says HERMES." "That's the famous brand Hermes!" "Hermes, yes!" "Hey!" "You still need to call!" "Those cups mean she's interested!" "This is not some generic brand." "Hermes..." "Isn't that the brand that makes bags?" "Even if she is thankful, she wouldn't have sent Hermes." "Call, hurry, call!" "Replying by mail seems more natural." "She may not like it if you just call her." "What about take a risk, and take her out to dinner?" "Or else the progress would be slow." "What about a letter?" "Nobody writes letters nowadays." "Sushi." "That's even worse." "Then..." "What about noodles." "That's for later." "Ah..." "What and what?" "I don't really know what to do..." "Everybody's that way at first." "If he calls now, Densha Otoko's life will change forever." "And it's not just if he goes out with her or not." "It's something more precious than that." "Hey..." "Let me give you an advice." "The target is only one girl." "But you have us as support." "Everybody's so nice." "What is Densha Otoko doing now?" "Even I am nervous too." "No, no." "Calling someone is quite hard for a single man." "I called, but nobody answered." "He really called." "Good job." "That's awesome, Densha Otoko." "You can do it." "You are so great." "You've grown a lot." "You are glowing bright." "You were so courageous." "You can do it tomorrow too." "Yes." "Call tomorrow too." "(She's calling.)" "Okay, it's starting now." "Right now I am nervous too." "Please, let everything go well." "This is the first time I've felt this way since the high school debate competition." "It's like the time I stole girl's panties." "That was the only time, but I had the courage to do it." "Yes." "Hello." "Ah..." "Ah..." "Ah..." "I am the one you saw on the train the day before." "Calling you so suddenly..." "Sorry." "I received your gift, thank you." "No, that's not really anything." "It's not really expensive." "Then..." "Bothering you so late at night..." "Sorry." "It's really okay." "Ah, sorry." "I sent you the gift because it's for you." "Eh?" "Everybody said you are a brave young man." "I think those people are rare these days." "The cups you sent are really expensive." "Sorry, having you spend that much on me." "It's nothing." "I should be thankful for your help." "No, no..." "I really think you spent too much." "Ah..." "It's the first time I send that to someone." "Ah..." "As a thank you for the cups, if it's okay with you, how about I buy you dinner?" "Eh?" "To thank you for the cups, I will buy you dinner, what do you think?" "Dinner?" "No, you don't need to, if you don't want to." "It's not really something that expensive..." "But..." "If we split the bill, then okay." "(Where for dinner?" ")" "Good job!" "He did it!" "Let me find a good restaurant first, then I will call you back." "OK!" "Densha Otoko, you are no longer a girly man." "A romantic love story..." "Has finally begin!" "Love..." "Love is rising now." "This is getting better and better..." "Wait!" "It's still too early to celebrate." "Eh?" "That's right." "The next step is vital." "I just got off the phone." "It's set that we are going to dinner." "Thank you, everybody." "Wait, it's not time to be happy yet." "(Shave completely.)" "(Buy clothes that are simple but stylish.)" "(Find restaurants for references.)" "(First are the clothes.)" "(Throw out the old clothes.)" "(Buy shirts from Jokeshito.)" "(Denim pants.)" "(Have a feel that's comfortable but new.)" "(Get contacts.)" "(Not a barbershop but a hair stylist shop.)" "(First find out which restaurants are better.) (If you can, go there to investigate!" ")" "Welcome." "Please, this way." "Thank you for coming." "Hello, sorry to bother you this late, sorry." "Ah, about the dinner, how do you feel about Japanese?" "What about Japanese..." "Hello, sorry to bother you this late." "Good evening." "About the dinner, how do you feel about Japanese?" "Hm, that works." "Ah, that's great." "I will dress up that day, but please don't laugh at me when you see me..." "Eh?" "Dress up?" "Yes..." "But please don't hope for too much." "Really?" "Then I'll dress up too." "Ah..." "Yes..." "Is the food okay..." "Really delicious." "That's great." "The atmosphere is pretty nice in here." "I really like it here." "Eh?" "Densha-kun..." "You are so interesting." "Please tell me more." "One more, number one." "One more, number one." "Then, what about this?" "I don't want to go home tonight." "I want to be yours." "Hermes-san..." "Densha Otoko..." "Where is Densha Otoko now?" "Where?" "Did something bad happened?" "No way..." "We are supporting him." "It will go really well." "It's going to be fine." "Medic!" "Someone is delusional here!" "Please take him away quickly!" "I just got home." "Let me change first." "Yes!" "I'll report what happened." "Today we met at the train station at 7." "Letting you wait this long." "I'm really sorry." "Have you been to this kind of restaurants before?" "Have you been to this kind of restaurants before?" "Have you been to this kind of restaurants before..." "Sorry..." "I came late." "Ah..." "It's okay..." "Let's go then." "Thank you for your help last time." "No, no..." "I was just doing what I am supposed to do." "You were very brave, weren't you?" "Ah..." "Thank you." "Sorry." "I am really slow." "No. that's not true." "This restaurant has a really nice atmosphere." "It's not bad." "I really like it here too." "Delicious." "Do you know how to drink?" "No..." "Ah..." "Do you come here often?" "Yes." "I like to hunt for restaurants like this." "Ah..." "How many people are in your family?" "Three people." "Who are the family members?" "My parents, ah..." "And a doggie." "Doggie..." "Name?" "Chiro." "How big is your home?" "There is..." "Sorry for the wait." "(Do you come here often?" ") Do you come here often?" "Eh?" "Sorry..." "I asked that before." "No matter how many times you ask it, it's okay." "Ah..." "Really sorry." "That time..." "When you saved me..." "How did you feel?" "Eh?" "It was a bit chaotic, and I was scared." "Riding the train like this everyday can be really scary." "If everybody in the world is like you, then I can relax." "This kind of men are really rare nowadays." "Ah, sorry." "It's okay." "Please." "Let me answer that." "Hello?" "It's okay." "I am holding on." "Yes." "Were you scared?" "Actually I jumped a bit too." "What is it?" "No, nothing special." "One of my dinner plans were cancelled suddenly..." "Dinner?" "Is she a nice person?" "Because she likes all kinds of restaurants too, so we always go together." "But, she seems really busy." "It's really too bad." "Then..." "Then... (The train is approaching the next station.)" "Then..." "I am getting off here." "(Passengers that need to exit the train, please exit now.)" "Thank you very much for today." "No, no." "I should be the one thanking." "Then, good night." "Good night." "Then..." "I will call you later." "Everyone..." "This sort of counts as a date..." "Counts as a date..." "This counts as one..." "Oh no..." "Hermes is such a nice girl." "Densha Otoko has been lured in by Hermes." "Damn it..." "I'm almost puking blood." "Looks like the progress is going pretty smooth." "You worked really hard, Densha Otoko." "I think so too." "Then..." "Did you call to say "thank you"?" "No." "Not yet." "Ah, wait, I have her mail address!" "You don't need rush it so fast." "Hey, your dinner's here." "I said don't bother me!" "All in all, eating dinner with a girl is a big step." "Just one step?" "!" "You are the man, and you should be the one asking her to a date!" "That's just common sense." "If you don't call back or mail, it would seem rude." "Actually..." "I don't really know how to take girls out to dinner." "Eh?" "If you are asking her to dinner, shouldn't you do it face to face?" "Actually, me too..." "I never had a date..." "Actually, I never had one neither..." "Sorry...same here." "Dinner..." "Okay..." "What are you talking about?" "Talking about service..." "It's pretty hard!" "Thank you for taking me to dinner." "Sorry to bother you again." "No, I should thank you." "Do you want to go the meeting next time?" "Me?" "Mm." "I can't go..." "But..." "Thank you for the invitation." "That's a quick reply." "Are you seriously working?" "Yes, seriously." "So can I meet you again?" "No." "I've been busy." "I know I said that, but actually I can't say anything to her face yet." "It's about time to prepare." "But maybe something good will happen." "Last time you said you didn't have anybody to go restaurant hunting with you." "If it's okay, can I go with you?" "I also wanted to ask you." "Actually, I wanted you to say that yesterday." "In fact, I am giving you a chance." "Eh?" "(In fact, I am giving you a chance.)" "Air alert!" "Air alert!" "Into the air-raid shelters!" "Defense!" "Defense!" "We are almost sunk!" "I am providing back up!" "Keep it up!" "But..." "I have a bad feeling about this." "Eh?" "There is somebody who wants to meet you." "Meet me?" "If it's okay with you my friend is coming along, is that alright?" "Ah..." "Alright." "Ah, so another subtle meeting?" "Someone who wants to meet you..." "Are you sure it's just a friend?" "Yes, but it's not confirmed whether she has a boyfriend or not." "But..." "What if it is her boyfriend?" "In the end, it's just dinner with a friend..." "If it's Hermes-san, then maybe so." "Sorry, I came late." "Ah, it's okay." "Sorry, having you wait so long." "Thank you for inviting me." "Ah, it's okay, yes." "Hello, nice to meet you." "Then let's go." "Today we are going to..." "There is some place that I want to go today." "Eh?" "Sorry for the wait." "Looks really good." "Can I cut it?" "Thank you." "Ah, sorry..." "I don't really know how to eat this kind of cuisine." "It's okay, let me help you." "Sorry." "Please." "Ah, yes, have to put it on the plate first." "You are not that innocent, are you?" "Ah?" "Sometimes..." "Not talking about eating?" "Eh?" "But, I like that kind of people." "Ah, is that so?" "Then, I am going." "Going so early?" "And you canceled so suddenly last time..." "It was set with someone else last time..." "But today he is here." "I am going then, see you next time." "Sorry, she's like that." "No, it was fun." "Ah, so pretty." "Ah, yes." "Do you want to take a walk?" "Ah, okay." "Ah, anime..." "No..." "Are you interested in movies?" "A little bit, but I don't go to the theatre often..." "Any good movies you can recommend?" "Then, ah, I like The Matrix the best." "I kind of get the content, but isn't it little bit hard to understand?" "Ah, no, it's not that hard..." "The directors of the movie are brothers..." "Sorry, I must be pretty boring." "Then, can you watch it with me?" "Ah, okay, yeah..." "Eh?" "Sorry, having you coming with me." "Mm." "After listening to you, suddenly I really want to watch it." "The movie is great, the special effects too." "You would be amazed for sure." "You look exceptionally happy." "Sorry for the wait." "Thank you." "This looks hard to understand." "If there is something you don't understand, you can ask me." "Do you think we can get there on time?" "I am not sure either..." "But, walk a bit faster, just to be sure." "Sorry, grabbing your hand so suddenly..." "It looks more natural this way." "If we don't hurry, we are not going to make it." "Today..." "Let me walk you home." "No, but thank you for the thought." "Bye." "Then..." "Can I call you again?" "(She suddenly held my hand.)" "Sorry to bother you, but can you walk me home?" "Okay." "(That's how it was today.)" "So what's the deal here?" "Then what?" "After I sent her home, we spent five minutes saying "thank you"." "Then I went home and sent her a mail." "And I left." "Wait, Densha, just that?" "No kiss?" "And no confession?" "I am not really sure on those things yet." "Good, then we can support you again." "But..." "It's still not clear if she has a boyfriend or not." "Yeah, I forgot to ask her." "What are you doing then?" "Ask her." "It's okay, he sent her to her home already." "You don't need to ask those things." "Then confess to her!" "That's right." "No, consider the situation a bit more first." "Right, it's hard to understand what females are thinking about." "That's right." "Then, what should I do?" "That's right." "(Wait.) (It's the phone.)" "Hey, it's Hermes-san." "(Say yes.) Mm." "What does this mean..." "Password?" "Password decoder squad." "Decipher the code quickly." "The call is over." "I can go to her home." "Damn it, confess already..." "This is a miracle..." "Keep this up...never mind, never mind." "Everybody's watching, supporting him..." "How come there is light?" "I have to show them too!" "Don't go!" "(Oh no, he fell into their trap!" "Air alert." "Start!" ")" "Didn't you say you have never used those cups before?" "She said "next time we can use the cups for tea."" "And introduce Chiro to me." "Nice job, Densha-kun." "What are you doing?" "Start working." "Yes, sorry." "I prepared some food, you want some?" "Okay." "Ah, so you are the young man that saved our daughter?" "That's great, even Chiro is thanking you." "Daddy, you are so funny." "This is a very bright young man, mom." "This girl needs you to look after her." "Stop it, I'm not a kid anymore." "No..." "It's should be me who needs looking after." "Ah..." "Hahahahahahaha." "If this continues, going to her home, then marry." "How will this end up..." "No, not possible." "Right now Densha Otoko still has a long way to go." "He started with a little bit of experience..." "After receiving our power, he is growing step by step." "Ah, this will be a win..." "Or a lost?" "Ah..." "This is troublesome." "That's right, saying yes and sometimes no." "Why don't you go outside." "Don't make it sound so easy." "Okay!" "Who is it?" "Ah, don't do that, Chiro." "Ah, hello." "Sorry." "Sorry for having you wait." "Your parents are not home today?" "They are out visiting relatives today." "They won't be back until tonight." "So that means?" "Thank you, then." "Ah!" "That's sugar." "Ah, sorry." "Ah!" "You have a computer too." "That's my father's." "I don't know how to use it at all." "I wanted to learn how..." "But I can't with that one." "Ah, no, it's a bit old, but it has collective value." "Ah, no, it's a bit old, but it has collective value." "Ah, yeah, you know a lot about computers." "Right." "Next time, can you help me pick out a computer?" "Ah..." "Okay..." "My pleasure." "You said so." "Yes..." "I promise." "Please." "Here." "Please." "Then, excuse me." "It's good." "Great, this is my favorite Hermes red tea." "Harmess." "That's Hermes." "I see... (Benoist) A fine dining community established in the 19th century." "Used by the English royalty, approved with three medals, one of the major companies for tea." "Do you want music?" "Eh?" "Ah..." "This..." "Don't laugh at me." "I kept using the wrong remote." "I just grabbed that one by chance." "I don't know either." "I don't really use remotes either." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Ah..." "I..." "I can't, at all." "A person like me..." "Seems impossible." "At least I appreciate that." "Nothing more can be said." "It's love, Densha Otoko." "Yep, you are in love." "Densha Otoko, congratulations." "Thank you very much..." "Next is telling her how you feel." "Of course..." "That's right." "You are already here." "If you don't decide, then how can you be a man." "Okay, then we will pass down our skills to you." "It's all for you, isn't that right, everybody?" "Okay, we will teach everything to you!" "Advance, Densha Otoko!" "Everybody..." "I understand." "I will do whatever you recommend next." "This has become the most important day of my life." "A question, I want to buy something from Hermes." "Welcome." "Do you have red tea?" "Yes, we have red tea." "Please, enjoy." "Mm..." "This has a really strong fragrance..." "Of course, it was used by the England royalty." "Approved with three medals, one of the major companies for tea." "Hm..." "This is good." "It's okay, just put it there." "I will eat it later." "This." "What?" "Gift." "It's from the Silver Seat mall." "Densha Otoko's regards, I am very happy." "But, after some thought, we aren't really compatible." "Like before, let's just be normal friends." "Ah!" "Today has finally come." "Today is the day, Densha-kun." "Sorry." "Then let's go." "Then..." "Today where..." "What do you need to buy here?" "It's a secret." "Do you know this?" "This..." "What kind of place is this?" "These are apartments." "We can use these rooms at any time." "We are cooking here today." "But..." "This room..." "It's not some strange room..." "A very normal room..." "Membership card?" "Yes, sorry." "How come we can't just go in?" "Because it's company policy." "But..." "Can you just let me slip this once?" "I even prepared for this already." "Sorry..." "But you can't go in without a membership card..." "Please become a member then come back again..." "But..." "Let's go." "It's okay, let's go." "No matter where we go, it's okay with me." "Since we got the food already, let's just find some place to cook this." "No..." "I prepared for this already." "Ah..." "Please wait here." "(SOS!" "Have to find some place else.)" "What are you doing?" "Densha Otoko?" "Aren't you in a date right now?" "Go back!" "But..." "My mind is so messy right now..." "But..." "I have to find some place..." "Please help me." "How are you, miss?" "Alone?" "Ah, I found a place in Roppongi." "I already made an appointment, so it's okay." "It's a little bit far away, so we'll take a taxi there." "No, we can leave it here today." "Because I am going out to sea tomorrow, so I need to prepare." "I need to go." "Sorry." "Next time help me pick a computer." "Then...see you next time." "(How come this happened, Densha Otoko?" ")" "No..." "She'll leave you..." "It's all your fault." "We think you were a bit rude too." "But, we think so too." "In the end, Densha doesn't have the charms." "Don't say that..." "No..." "It's true." "I still can't do it..." "But..." "What I can do now" "Is thinking this over." "Excuse me." "Welcome." "This CPU and hard drive is..." "Thank you for coming." "Hello, who is this?" "Sorry, it's been a while." "Sorry." "I haven't call you lately." "Really?" "Sorry." "Then, I am going to meet you after work, is that okay?" "I have something I have to tell you..." "Sorry, I am a bit busy today." "Next time, then, sorry." "Sorry, it's kind of sudden." "This..." "Sorry for letting you wait." "Let's go." "Is something wrong?" "No, everything's fine, thank you." "What's this?" "Nothing..." "Bothering you..." "Eh?" "No, it's okay..." "I guess that you would say our worlds are too different." "I worried that one day this would happen..." "No matter where..." "Meeting you makes me happy." "And I know one day we would part..." "And I feel scared..." "I thought that I couldn't do it either..." "I understand also..." "From the first time we met..." "I feel happy." "Meeting you makes me happy." "But, if you feel pain and not happiness then..." "It's better off for us to not meet at all." "And everybody's support..." "I..." "I don't know what do..." "This..." "This kind of thing..." "It's really painful..." "I..." "Loving someone..." "Why is it so painful..." "Loving someone..." "With me like this..." "I don't have the courage anymore to love..." "It's over... (I..." "I don't have the courage...)" "(I don't have the courage...)" "What are you talking about!" "What are you talking about!" "Who said miracles are impossible?" "Up until now we are still watching over you." "At first I didn't even care about you." "And didn't think you would be this lucky." "But..." "When you first got the courage to call..." "It let me witness a miracle..." "Isn't that right?" "Every one of us..." "Didn't we say so?" "It's something really great!" "You have to trust in yourself." "That's right!" "Go for it, Densha!" "Yeah!" "Don't give up so easily!" "You are our hope!" "That's right!" "If you give up now, what would happen?" "If that's true, then don't like her in the first place." "You can do it, Densha Otoko!" "Don't forget, we are behind you!" "You can do it..." "You can do it..." "How come..." "Everybody is here..." "Everybody..." "For me..." "(P.S. Don't forget the date.) (Next time is Akihabara.)" "I don't know if I still have enough time..." "But I..." "(I am leaving!" ")" "She went out?" "Just said she has to go buy a computer and then just left..." "Thank you very much." "Are you okay?" "I didn't know if it's you or not, but it is." "Then..." "I have something important to say." "Yes." "I..." "You can do it." "At first I wanted to go on by myself." "Living alone, eating alone." "If I want to talk, I can do it on the computer." "When I get old..." "Then..." "It doesn't matter." "But..." "It's actually really scary." "It's the first time I've felt this happy..." "Because I really want to be together with someone..." "And want to see that person every single moment." "Everything's impossible alone." "Really..." "I really want to be together." "Like..." "I really like you." "I like you a lot." "Me too." "Really like you." "Like you very much." "And want be together with you forever." "Just like this." "Being together with you forever." "Being together with you forever." "Don't cry." "I finally said it." "I'm really glad." "That time..." "The day that you went home first." "It was really scary, isn't it..." "You needed a lot of courage." "You are so gentle." "Sorry." "And you treasure me." "It's okay, I am holding on to you." "(Tonight the moon is full." "I'm sending it to you as a gift.)" "I am always thinking of little things as presents to you." "Present." "To me, a delivery is not just a delivery." "Sugar is not just sugar." "I always think of it that way." "From something ordinary to something happy." "From something small to something big." "If we are together, are we going to treasure each other forever?" "Will the two of us continue on like this?" "To others, it may be something small." "If it's two people, maybe they are even more fortunate." "I think I am going to love somebody for sure." "You taught me all those." "Thank you." "Then did Densha graduate?" "Feels really lonely in here now." "No, because next time it's us who graduate, right?" "Mm." "We can do it." "(Thank you everybody.)" "Ah!" "It's Densha!" "Everything that happened to me all this time was because of the help from everybody." "I like everybody here." "(I like everybody here.)" "I am back." "Welcome back." "Ah, great." "This." "Ah." "Take it!" "Thank you!" "Want a drink?" "Mm." "Um..." "Can I sit next to you?" "Yes, please." "Sorry." "Ah, I haven't told my friends about this." "Friends?" "My most treasured friends."
