"What shall we eat today?" "What do you want to eat?" "Curry." "Why did they die?" "Mita-san's family." "I killed them." "Oh, my." "Did Akari-chan say that?" "That can't possibly be true, right?" "After that, no matter how persistently we ask," "Mita-san won't tell us anything." "Hmm~ Sorry." "I can't say anything today." "Because, you know, that." "Come on, please tell us." "You're the only one we can depend on." "Will you stop coming on to me like that please?" "Then can you just answer yes or no?" "Huh?" "What's this?" "Oh dear." "It's like a quiz show." "Looks like fun." "Here's Question No. 1" "Okay." "Is Mita's deceased family her husband and son?" "Yes, that's right!" "Oh my, see what you did." "That's why I said it's that..." "What's "that"?" "Oh dear, only 20 seconds left." "19, 18, 17..." "What?" "Ah... wait." "W-what are you doing?" "By any chance, is Mita-san coming or something?" "Right you are!" "Quick, hide." "Go on!" "Okay. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." "Oh, Akari-chan." "You're always right on time." "What is it?" "You said you had something to tell me today." "I'm sorry, but will you please not say a word about my past to" "Yui-san and the children?" "Got it." "Sorry." "This is a good time to tell all of you as well." "From now on, I will not answer any questions whatsoever." "Excuse me." "Don't be like that." "Tell us please!" "That's right." "Who won't be curious after hearing something like that?" "I searched on the internet, but there weren't any murder cases where the perpetrator was Mita-san." "If you insist on asking me," "I shall ask to be released." "What does "ask to be released" mean?" "It means Mita-san will quit." "What!" "She can't." "I have an important favor to ask Mita-san." "Alright." "Let's go, guys." "Akari-chan." "Are you still taking to heart what your husband's parents said to you?" "Didn't I tell you?" "That wasn't your fault." "Excuse me." "Did you need something?" "Oh, sorry." "Oh, that's right." "Kii, didn't you want Mita-san to do something for you?" "We're having a school play and I was picked to play Dorothy in "Wizard of Oz."" "Mita-san, will you make my costume?" "Very well." "Wow, that's awesome, Kii!" "That's a leading role." "So it's this Saturday." "We'll all have to go see it." "Kii, what's the matter?" "Do you think Dad will come?" "Huh?" "He couldn't come last year too because he had to work." "Onee-chan, do you think Dad will do it?" "He'll do what we asked him to do the other day, won't he?" "Prove to us that we're the most important people in the world to you." "I want you to show us that you love us and put Dad's rock in this can." "I'm sure he will." "But doesn't he still like that woman?" "After all, he was ready to leave us and marry her." "Onee-chan, are we just gonna do nothing and wait?" "Mita-san, what do you think we should do?" "That is for all of you to decide." "There you go, shaking us off again." "Then will you go tell Dad?" "That we want him make sure he comes to Kii's play and that we want to hear his answer from the other day." "Very well." "You gave me a scare when you called suddenly asking for help." "I'm sorry." "Why don't you come in?" "Can I get you coffee or something?" "It was just as you said." "Huh?" "Natori-san's going on a marriage meeting with the Director's daughter." "What a fool I am." "I would've know if I'd only thought about it." "Natori-san asked me earlier how long I intended to work there." "That it's about time I realized everyone's waiting for me to resign." "I'm sorry." "It's all my fault." "Then will you take responsibility?" "Huh?" "Keiichi-san, you're all I have now." "Why don't we go somewhere far away and start all over?" "Uh... well..." "I'm just kidding." "I know you can't leave your children." "I'll go back home and maybe have a marriage meeting." "Wa..." "Mie, wait a minute." "Mie!" "Oh, you scared me!" "You're..." "The housekeeper Mita." "Wh-What is it, Mita-san?" "I have a message from Yui-san." "Oh..." "Excuse me." "I always had to work on Saturdays so I never went to any of their school events." "And so?" "Huh?" "What shall I tell Yui-san and the children?" "Uh..." "Um" "In any case, can you not say anything about that woman you just saw?" "We weren't doing anything to be ashamed of anyway." "Very well." "Also, about the school play..." "Naturally, I'd love to go, but frankly," "I'm not sure what to do." "How I can prove to the kids that I love them as their father." "I don't think they'll believe me if I just say I love them." "What do you think I should do, Mita-san?" "That is..." "for you to decide." "...please don't say that and help me out." "There won't be another chance if I mess this up." "I still have work to do, so if I may be excused." "Wait a minute." "Mita-san, wait!" "Ow..!" "I'm sorry, but please don't stand behind me." "What did Dad have to say?" ""I'll definitely be there for the school play and prove my love for the children so don't worry," is what he said." "He sounds really confident, but is he really?" "Didn't Dad actually ask you to" ""Tell them that for the time being"?" "Yes." "What's that supposed to mean!" "Did it look like he wasn't seeing that woman anymore?" "Here, it's done." "That's so amazing." "It looks like something you buy at a store!" "Awesome!" "Mita-san just evaded the question, didn't she?" "For the first time." "Maybe they're still having trysts?" "What's tryst?" "Uh..." "When a man and a woman meet at places like hotels..." "Don't teach her weird things!" "Kii, why don't you try on your dress?" "Okay!" "Will you guys practice with me?" "What~ Give me a break." "Please~ Dad's gonna come see me so" "I don't want to make a mistake!" "Then Kii's Dorothy, Onee-chan's the Scarecrow," "Kakeru-chan's the Tin Man, and Kaito-chan's the Cowardly Lion." "Then who's the wicked witch?" "Is that a work order?" "Evil Witch!" "We came to knock you down!" "I thought about making all of you my slaves, but a Tin Man, a Scarecrow, a Cowardly Lion, and a puny little girl are worthless to me, so" "I'm going to tear you all into pieces." "Mita-san, you're scaring me!" "Or rather, can't you do it with a little more feeling?" "I'm sorry." "Then let's try one more time." "Evil Witch!" "We came to knock you down!" "I thought about making all of you my slaves, but a Tin Man, a Scarecrow, a Cowardly Lion, and a puny little girl are worthless to me, so" "I'm going to tear you all into pieces." "Hey, your line's next, Onee-chan." "Sorry, just a sec." "What, boyfriend again?" "Please, let's meet and talk." "I'm sorry about the other day." "You were saying something about eloping, but" "I didn't think you were really serious." "Um, well, so..." "I'm sorry." "I can't go out with you anymore, Senpai." "I realized that by falling in love with you, I was turning my eyes away from my cowardly self and the unpleasant reality." "I don't want to run away anymore." "I want to be stronger." "Excuse me." "Urara-chan!" "Urara-chan." "What ...?" "About the other day..." "Thank you." "What?" "Let's go home, Yui-chan." "Ah, that..." "That's...by golly, boy oh boy!" "What's with that cryptic reaction?" "Because it's the first time, you know." "That Yui-chan said thank you to me." "Will you apologize to Grandpa for me too?" "Doesn't it seem that all your precious people end up dying?" "That's okay, that's okay." "Gotta teach him a lesson once in a while." "Besides, it's been bothering Dad too." "That he slapped you." "I'm just fine." "I'm the one who was totally in the wrong." "What?" "I was just thinking that you've, like, matured and gotten tougher." "I don't think so." "What are you talking about?" "I can't let you get ahead of me!" "Alright~!" "I'm psyched!" "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm totally fine." "I'm home~." "Dad, what are you doing?" "Do I smell?" "What?" "Where did that come from?" "I just remembered, a long time ago, the kids told me," ""Grandpa, you smell."" "Don't worry, you don't." "Yui-chan apologized too for saying such awful things to you the other day." "Here, I'll do it, Dad." "Why don't you go take a bath?" "Okay." "Uh..." "I'm pretty happy, you know." "Living with you, Dad." "Stop your nonsense." "Oh, that's right." "Kii-chan has the leading role in her school play." "I'm supposed to tell Grandpa to come see it too." "She doesn't care if I go or not..." "Why not be true to your feelings?" "Since Yui-chan's trying to be nice and invited you." "Who asked her to be nice anyway?" "That's not what I meant..." "I refuse to go!" "Don't you go either!" ""How To Be A Good Father"" "From Kazama Mie I'm going back home this Sunday." "Thank you for everything." "I heard, Natori-san." "Congratulations on your engagement." "Hey, hey." "You're getting ahead of yourself." "To tell you the truth, I had my eyes on Natori-san too." "But you can't compete with the Director's daughter, can you?" "From now on, I'll follow you for eternity work-wise." "Yeah, you can count on me." "I asked you before." "Not to make Kazama-kun unhappy." "Don't look so serious." "Wait a minute." "Enough is enough." "Unlike you, I'm the one who will be carrying this company in the future." "I don't have time to be involved with that kind of a woman." "You bastard!" "Then why did you tell her you loved her?" "!" "She was really happy, you know!" "When you told her you loved her after everyone found out about us." "But you can dump her just like that for your own ambition?" "!" "What the hell is love then?" "!" "Come on, tell me!" "What are you talking about?" "Let go!" "I don't know!" "How can you prove your love!" "Can you prove it just by saying "I love you"?" "Tell me!" "Can you?" "!" "I don't know anymore!" "I really don't know anymore!" "Good bye, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion." "Thank you for everything." "Please don't leave us, Dorothy." "Hey, Kakeru, your turn." "What?" "Oh, sorry, sorry!" "Be serious, will you?" "I'll get it." "Look, I have to study for the exam so I don't have to be doing this." "It's for your beloved sister." "Come on, one more time." "Please don't leave us, Dorothy." "Hey," "I heard you were all practicing?" "Let me do something too!" "A wicked stepmother or something." "We're fine, Urara-chan." "Besides, there's no wicked stepmother in this." "Really~." "I brought over a snack, so let's eat!" "Takoyaki from this place is just delicious." "Urara-chan, look, look." "Mita-san made" "this dress for me." "Huh, what?" "Wah!" "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Don't rub it." "It's gonna get worse." "Oh, sorry." "The school play's tomorrow!" "Ahh~ It's all because of someone!" "Will you please stay put and not do anything?" "Sorry..." "Hey, stop it!" "Urara-chan didn't do it on purpose." "Mita-san, can you do something about it by tomorrow?" "I can." "Kii, Mita-san will fix it up so let's eat takoyaki." "Here you go." "I'll go get some tea." "Onee-chan." "Dad will come tomorrow, right?" "Huh?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "...I think he will." "Don't worry!" "Let's all believe in your dad!" "Mita-san, have you heard from Dad at all?" "No, I haven't." "I'll call him then." "Ahh~!" "\Don't do that." "Sorry." "This is the housekeeper Mita." "Mita-san, after you're done there today, can we meet?" "Of course, I'll pay you for the extra time." "Very well." "What did you wish to discuss?" "To tell you the truth," "I was fired." "I don't know how to prove my love to the kids yet either." "Things can't get any worse." "With the way things are," "I'm not confident at all that I can put my rock in Kii's can..." "Huh?" "It's gone!" "The rock Kii let me borrow is gone!" "Mita-san, do you happen to have a flashlight...?" "I do." "Ahh~ Jeez, when did I lose it?" "Oh!" "Found it!" "Why are there so many rocks that look alike?" "Seriously!" "Damn~ Damn it." "Where did I lose it..." "What am I supposed to do now?" "Mita-san, you'll do anything if you're asked, right?" "If it's within my ability." "Then will you get me back in the company once more?" "That would be impossible." "Will you turn back time?" "That would be impossible." "Yeah, you're right." "Then..." "That's right." "Will you get tomorrow's school play canceled?" "If the play is postponed, I may be able to come up with a way to be forgiven by the children." "Yeah, that's it." "Please do that." "Very well." "Stop it!" "Why do you hit me?" "I'm really a coward." "I'm so scared I can't even sleep at night." "Will the Wizard give you courage too?" "Isn't Dad here yet?" "He'll be here soon." "Please stop!" "Mita-san?" "Mita-san?" "Mita-san?" "!" "Hey!" "Mita-san." "Hey~ The police." "Someone call the police." "Stop!" "Mita-san!" "Hey!" "What are you doing!" "Stop!" "This is the housekeeper Mita." "Hello, it's me." "Uh..." "About the school play we talked about yesterday, can you not do it after all?" "I'm sorry, but it's too late." "What?" "!" "What have you done?" "Where are you now?" "I cannot answer that." "Wait, Mita-san?" "What's going to happen to the play?" "My Tsubasa-chan was so looking forward to it." "I'm sorry." "The police is investigating now." "Excuse me." "What happened?" "There was a warning phone call." "That the school will be bombed if the play isn't canceled." "What?" "You don't mean..." "This isn't the doing of your housekeeper again, is it?" "I'm terribly sorry!" "It's a good thing the people from the school didn't press charges, or else it would've been a legitimate crime, I was told." "I was severely reprimanded." "What happened to the play?" "It's over now." "I see." "I sure wish I could've seen it." "Kii's "Wizard of Oz."" "I bet you're thinking "What's this guy saying now", huh?" "I'm a totally worthless guy." "I should've died instead of my wife." "Damn~!" "Dad~!" "Dad!" "Dad~!" "Dad!" "Why?" "They asked me why you tried to get the school play canceled, so" "I told them that you were fired, and you lost Kii-san's rock too, and you were crying because you lost all confidence that you could prove your love for the children." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Stay away!" "Mita-san told you, didn't she?" "I'm not qualified to be your father!" "You guys are better off being adopted by Grandpa after all!" "You'll definitely be happier that way!" "Fine!" "But there's one last thing we want you to do..." "Dad, I want you to see Kii's Dorothy." "Or rather, I think you have a responsibility to see it." "The old hag next door complained so Kii was taken off the leading role." "What?" "Dad, our play isn't over yet." "Good bye, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion." "Thank you for everything." "I'll never forget you guys." "Please don't leave us, Dorothy." "If I didn't meet you," "I wouldn't have gotten this kind heart." "Me too." "I wouldn't have gotten this wonderful brain." "Me too." "I would've been a scared coward forever." "I'm sorry, but I have to go home." "To my home where my beloved family is waiting." "Let's all sing together." "♪~After we climb this hill," "♪~Go to the right, and there's a tree" "♪~Turn at the tree, and keep going" "♪~There's my home where everyone's waiting." "What's the matter, Dad?" "Nothing." "I was thinking how I wished your mom was here to see this." "I know" "Mom would've wanted to see you guys like this more than anyone else." "But... because of me..." "Your mother, unlike me, was full of love." "From the first time we met, she cried, got mad, and laughed a lot." "She was always true to herself." "She hated having secrets, and sometimes she'd fret too much, but she loved me more than anyone else." "What do you think Mom said to me when we got married?" "She said "Thank you for making my dream come true."" "I should have loved her more with my whole heart, but..." "I... let your beloved precious mother die!" "I know I can't be forgiven no matter how much I apologize, but..." "I'm so terribly sorry." "I'm really really sorry!" "You guys don't have to forgive me." "You don't have to love me." "But I..." "I want to love you guys!" "I want to go on loving you forever, for the rest of my life!" "I can't say "I love you" with my head held high like the other fathers, but... that's my honest feeling right now." "That's not a lie!" "I want to love, love, and love you guys all the way!" "I want to be with you!" "I want to see how you grow up and what kind of a life you'll lead." "I want us to talk more about all kinds of things!" "I want to tell you about Mom too!" "When you guys are having a hard time, I'll encourage you!" "I'll do anything I can!" "I'll do anything to protect you!" "So... so won't you... let me be your father!" "I lost Kii's rock, but let me be your father!" "Please!" "I'm sorry." "I acted presumptuously." "What?" "Mita-san, how did you..." "I thought you might have lost it at the office, so" "I searched the garbage area." "Then yesterday, after that..." "Don't worry." "There will be no charge for the extra hours." "Thank you!" "Dad." "Dad finally came home." "Mom!" "Don't cry, Dad." "Be a man." "Yeah..." "Sorry..." "Onee-chan, why don't we take a commemorative picture?" "Good idea!" "It's Father's Comeback Commemoration Day." "What's that?" "Are you ready yet, Onee-chan?" "Just a sec." "I'm setting up the timer now." "Mita-san, you come too." "Thank you, but no." "Don't be like that." "Mita-san, you're like family." "I'm sorry, but" "I am not your family." "Anyway, then, let's get a shot." "Say cheese." "Okay!" "Hurry, hurry." "Okay, okay." "Sorry, guys!" "One of my students got into trouble just at a time like this." "Hey, Urara-chan!" "How did the play go?" "We're taking a picture." "Hey!" "Huh?" "Ahh~!" "Sorry!" "The 7:15 express bus for Haneda Airport will depart shortly." "Passengers are requested to board immediately." "The 7:15 express bus to Haneda Airport will depart shortly." "Passengers are requested to board immediately." "Kazama-kun!" "Keiichi-san." "I still love you." "What?" "I want marry you." "Really?" "Only if you can be the children's mother." "Yesterday, when the children called me "Dad" over and over," "I finally realized." "What a blessing it is to be called that." "I was a fool for not realizing that sooner." "Just like my name," "I'm the most blessed guy in the world." "(Kei - blessed; ichi - most; first)" "Departing shortly." "Please hurry." "Regarding your offer to adopt the children..." "I'd like to officially decline the offer." "I'm sorry." "Hereafter, I'll do my best to have you acknowledge me as the children's father." "I'm nothing more than a dinky boat, but no matter how strong the storm, no matter who attacks us," "I want the children on board and I want to take them to their respective ports, their destination." "I'm sorry." "Grandpa, I'm sorry." "For saying such awful things to you." "It's not that we dislike you, Grandpa." "We decided to stay with Dad." "We don't want to be separated anymore." "Please forgive us." "Come on, Dad!" "Why don't you say something?" "Do what you want." "What?" "I'm not going to worry about you guys anymore." "I won't even consider you to be my grandkids." "Wait, Dad!" "Dad..." "I'm sorry." "Dad!" "How was Grandpa?" "He was mad." "He said "Do as you please."" "As expected." "Well, it can't be helped." "It's my fault after all." "I'll try my best so that he'll forgive us, okay?" "Okay, I'm going then." "Where are you going?" "Yeah, it's Sunday." "Gotta find a job right away and have Grandpa acknowledge me, right?" "You should change first." "No, that's alright." "This is fine." "Didn't you get nervous and perspire when you went to see your father-in-law?" "Huh?" "Alright." "What's the matter, Dad?" "Huh?" "It's just that a freshly pressed shirt feels really nice." "Mita-san, thank you." "That is something you should say to your deceased wife." "I am simply emulating your wife's ways." "Thanks, Nagiko." "I'm sorry for never thanking you when you were alive." "I'm going then." "Mita-san." "There's a place we want you to come with us." "Mita-san, we all thought about it." "The reason Mita-san's always here like this, isn't it because this is a memorable place you used to come with your son and husband?" "Didn't you always order this and eat together?" "There's no way Mita-san would kill your family." "Is it because you feel responsible for their death?" "Please, tell us, Mita-san." "Kii will protect you." "It's time for me to prepare dinner." "W-wait." "Wait!" "Wait a minute!" "I have already told you." "That if you insist on asking me, I shall ask to be released." "You killed them!" "Bring back my son and grandchild!" "There's no need for you to apologize any further." "Until you die, don't ever smile again!"
