"Why would I have put it over there?" "Miki's okay." "She would never do anything to betray you." "So don't you, either." "Anyhow, let's just forget about this." "Wipe my phone number." "I'm sorry Miki." "I guess I am drunk." "I'm going to go on home." "Another bar would be better." "You want to calm down, right?" "Still, there's something I wanted to talk to you about." "Huh?"

"I'll take you." "Sakura-san?" "Don't tell me you're worried about earlier?" "Don't take it so seriously." "That's the first time I've seen them in a long time and we weren't all that good pals to begin with." "I'm sorry." "Eh?" "I'm 39." "I hadn't told you what my age was yet but I'm 39." "And I'll be 40 soon." "It's only natural I'd be mistaken for your Onee-san." "That's just a normal reaction." "I'm happy I'm still being called an Onee-san." "I wonder how I would have felt if they had called me your Mom?" "So long, this is fine." "Thank you very much for the beer." "Wait." "What are you gonna do about dinners?" "I'll just come in here most every day." "But all you do here is get drunk!" "That's a one-sided nutrition." "Ain't it about time you got a girlfriend to make you something?" "Say hello to Shima-nee and your husband." "Yeah." "So long." "Bye-bye." ""Too bad"" "Ala?" "Ah, why?" "Geez!" "This sucks..." "Damn it..." "Why can't I hit one, geez!" "You aren't using your waist."

"'Cause I've been playing baseball ever since I was a kid." "Ahh..." "I wanted to feel refreshed, too." "Did you run away from that youngster?" "I ran away from myself." "It's been way too long since I've been in love." "I don't know how to enjoy it anymore." "His being 15 years younger than me was too high a hurdle in the first place." "I need to undergo my rehabilitation from a more comfortable spot if I can." "It's turning into something of a bother." "Guess I'll just have to do my best living alone from here on." "Okay!" "Set your center of gravity backwards a bit." "Wrong." "There." "Open the gaps between your toes until you feel it." "Don't strain yourself." "Cool down the jets." "Close your jaw." "It's coming." "Keep your eyes on it." "I hit it!" "Incredible!" "I hit it, I hit it!" "Hey, hey, teach me that again." "You'll hit it again." "Seriously?" "No way?" "He's right." "I hit it!" "Ah!" "Incredible!" "Okay!" "This feels good." "Ahh, that felt so good." "I should make a habit of it." " Don't go." " Why?" "'Cause we'd meet again." "Even if we do meet, we don't have to talk." "What is it?" "Like I thought, he's asking for money?" "He says the difference in our ages has nothing to with it and that he wants to date me." "Ohh..." "I somehow feel like he's teasing me." "Maybe his tastes just run to eating insects." "You shouldn't let this go to waste." "Wouldn't come to anything even if I did try." " You won't know that unless you do try." " I do know." "You're scared." "I ain't scared." "You're scared and you're older." "You've just gotten used to being hurt and giving up, haven't you?" ""Badly bruised"" ""And so, increasingly Timid"" "And then I figured I've got nothing to lose by going on a date with him." "It's fine, it's fine." "Given you've got nothing to lose anyway." "Ah, looks like they're back." "Let me know how it goes." "So long." "So long." "Okay!" "Welcome home!" "I bought this." " Ah, that's awesome." "Good for you." " I'm thirsty!"

" Take this room here." " Yes." "Yes." "What's this about?" "!" "Okay!" "Did it!" "You're incredible, Sakura-san." "Is this one of your strong points?" "Didn't you do this back in Shinozuka long ago?" "What are you saying?" "I'm from Kinedzuka." "Ala?" "You said that?" "I messed it up." "Ah, now that's a gutter ball." "Aren't you being a little unfair?" "I'm making up for my crushing loss at bowling." "Please give me a handicap." "No way." "This is a Love Game!" "Sure." "What's a Love Game?" "Grr!" " Yeah!" " You're good." "Here goes." "Here goes!" "There!" "Ah!" "No way!" "That was great!" "Incredible!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" " Thanks for waiting." " Thank you." " Soft ice-cream will be delicious after so long." " Yeah, it's good." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "Stay still." "Thank you." "What is it?" "You still have some on your nose." "Eh?" "You're terrible!" "You're laughing too much." "Hey..." "Ah, that was amusing." "You still talking about that soft ice-cream?" "No." "Sakura-san." "Did you have fun?" "I did." "Lots of fun." "That's good." "Whaa!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Thank you." "Um, that seat..." " Please wait a moment." " Yes." "Hey, hey, you there."
