"CONCERTO" "You don't dislike her, do you?" "When I saw her last night,..." "Then it's perfect." "I have no problem with it." "Excuse me, is Mr. Ebisawa in?" "Sensei, I'm going to look for a job..." "I dropped by since I was in the neighborhood." "Good morning." "I'm going to see Mrs. Oki." "She called earlier and wants to discuss the plans." "You can fill me in later." "I'll do that." "After you talk to him, will you come back here?" "I'd like to speak to you." "It was around this time of the year when we first met." "Exactly three years ago." "I was twenty." "Were we too young when we met?" "Would it have been different if we met 5, 10 years later?" "I'm glad we met when we were twenty." "I was so naive." "You taught me to have hope and do dream." "Thank you." "Don't be silly." "You gave me encouragement." "We're comrades." "It was a desperate battle but we fought side by side." "I wish the best for you and Mr. Ebisawa." "I'm determined to become a better architect than he is." "Stop crying." "See ya." "TWO MONTHS LATER" "Ebisawa Kosuke, do you take this woman to be your wife?" "Sakaki Hana, do you take this man to be your husband?" "CONCERTO" "Episode 4 THE SWEET LIFE" "EIGHT MONTHS LATER" "I'm thinking about it and need a little more time." "Mrs. Ebisawa." "what about the length?" "I'll ask." "Too short?" "Shoes?" "Which dress?" "They all look good on you." "Buy them all." "I'll need a handbag so I can't buy them all." "Buy the handbag too." "It's your birthday." "I'm sorry." "It's about time you two came out of there." "Sorry I was on the phone with a client." "You got wrapped up in your wife's shopping." "I'm so sorry." "I'll treat you to dinner tonight." "Then, you're forgiven." "Kakeru, are you coming to my party?" "How rude." "Of course, I am." "I'm an employee." "Pay's cheap though." "What did you buy?" "Stuff." "Why'd you buy an umbrella?" "What if it rains?" "It isn't raining." "It matches my clothes." "Sorry, change in plans." "Kakeru and I need to return to the office." "Mrs. Oki is waiting." "She insists on talking to us about the house plan." "My aunties will be coming in an hour." "Entertain them." "Well be home soon." "Oka, sorry but please take Hana home." "I'll be there soon." "I'm opposed to this house model." "I'm sure I told you when we began that three generations are going to live there." "My husband and I, my mother-in-law and my husband's two children by his first wife." "I don't get along with my mother-in-law." "I asked you to make separate kitchens and front doors." "Yet, there is only one front entrance in the plans you drew and in this model." "There's only one entrance on the first floor." "Didn't I ask you to make another one upstairs?" "It isn't normal to have two front doors." "We fight when we see each other." "Go ahead and fight." "It's what families do." "He's so stubborn." "Sensei, help!" "Kakeru, may I see you?" "I understand well what you're saying." "However she doesn't want to see her mother-in-law nor her step-children." "Is that why an architect should agree to building two front doors?" "Can't be helped." "There's nothing enchanting about it." "That's her choice." "It's her house, not yours." "But, I'm building the house." "It's my masterpiece too." "Re-do the plans!" "Understand?" "Please come with me!" "There's an argument at the construction site." "The 7th floor isn't designed yet so there's no sense starting construction." "He's ready to give up." "I just spoke to him earlier." "I'll have it by tomorrow." "It's a delicate situation." "You must show up at the construction site." "We'll talk later." "Come with me." "Give me sufficient notice if you need more time." "I have to secure employees." "I'm very sorry." "I'll have a design in two days." "Please wait." "The estimate will change with this revision." "You can't do the impossible." "Think of a way to make it possible." "I'm counting on you." "Rental units until the sixth floor." "And this is where the owner will live?" "A house that faces the heavens." "House of the sun..." "Space, light, breeze..." "How about building a rooftop terrace?" "A house that faces the heavens, huh?" "I like that." "It sounds fascinating." "If I come up with an idea, will you reward me?" "Will you convince Mrs. Oki to accept my design?" "I'm kind of set on it." "You're home." "I'm sorry I'm late." "Happy birthday." "Thanks." "Where are your aunts?" "They went home but said to say hello to you." "I'm sorry I left you by yourself." "I was fine." "My aunties had a blast singing karaoke with me." "They praised me, said I made a cute wife." "Mr. Oka and your office staff are all nice people." "I really had fun." "And I wasn't around." "You bought presents for me." "It was a memorable birthday." "Thank you." "You make me very happy." "Your presence brightens up this house." "This wonderful house has everything." "I'm happy just being in it." "Are you tired?" "I'm fine." "Really?" "Shall we start tidying up?" "Architect Korbije said a house is an apparatus to live in." "That's what the morning paper said." "Who is Korbije?" "Who?" "Korbije?" "I don't know about finances, stocks..." "My husband handles everything." "Is he here?" "Yes, but he's busy working." "Then, please recommend..." "I really have no idea." "I'm sorry." "I'll be up awhile." "Why don't you go to bed?" "What's the matter?" "Are you crying?" "Why are you crying?" "What happened?" "I won't know if you don't tell me." "I have a toothache." "Painkiller..." "Can't stand the pain?" "Thank you for seeing her at this hour." "Come in." "Thank you." "Insurance papers?" "She's young, isn't she?" "I remarried six months ago." "I received a postcard." "Sure you want me to treat her?" "I'm sure." "I'm going to move the car." "Thank you very much." "You must've been miserable." "I didn't know what to do." "He was busy working, I didn't want to disturb him." "I was determined to hide my pain, but..." "When he's working Mr. Ebisawa is frightening." "Do you know him well?" "Sort of." "Someone at the office told me his ex-wife is a dentist." "Would that be you?" "What did he say?" "Nothing." "Then, I'll do the same." "If you are his ex-wife I'd like to ask you something." "If you are his ex-wife, I'd like to ask you something." "I don't know what to do when he's had a bad day at work." "He falls silent and stays to himself." "Was he always like that?" "What did you do at those times?" "Don't leave him alone." "Invite him to go shopping with you, take a meal to and eat with him at the construction site." "He'll grumble at first but actually enjoys it." "He's rather insecure." "Be frank, be yourself." "I think he's being reserved around you." "Thank you." "I had to park far away." "All done?" "No more pain?" "I'm glad." "How pretty." "A house facing the heavens..." "a house with vision..." "Ebisawa Architect." "Sensei?" "Where are you?" "At home." "Change in plans I came home." "I'm supposed to meet them at 6 at the site wanted to give some more though about the penthouse" "Is Hana over there?" "You didn't see her?" "She isn't home." "This is Ebisawa." "Is my wife there?" "He isn't here yet?" "Are you sure he's coming back?" "There's a meeting at six." "He should be here." "It's already seven." "Strange..." "The meeting didn't start." "Heard anything about the six o'clock meeting?" "House in the sky..." "I know!" "What're you doing here?" "Did you call your husband?" "Lines busy." "What's going on?" "He's looking for you." "She isn't home yet." "Where could she be?" "Thanks for your concern." "She should be home soon." "I'll call you." "Thank you." "I'm home." "You were home." "Where were you until now?" "Why didn't you call?" "I was worried!" "Hana took your dinner to the construction site." "I thought we could eat together." "I'm sorry it took me so long to locate her." "No need for you to apologize." "Why didn't you call?" "You could've called." "Why?" "It didn't cross my mind." "I called but the line was busy." "It was my fault." "I drove her but got lost then stuck in traffic." "Road repairs at this hour!" "Shut up!" "Thanks Kakeru, but I should've known better." "You'd better be on your way." "Thanks for bringing her home." "Will you take a look at the idea I had for the penthouse?" "What if we changed the vault ceiling to one that slides open?" "The ceiling slides open so occupants can see the sky." "It would be easy to operate, at the touch of a switch." "Like the car sun roof." "I see." "What do you think?" "Can you draw this vault style ceiling tonight?" "Easily." "Is this final?" "I think it is." "We'll divide the work." "You promised me, if I came up with an idea, you'd convince Mrs. Oki to accept my design." "You're not going back on your word?" "Is it that important not to have two front doors?" "Our, house had two front doors." "I didn't like it." "My family didn't have money, but coincidentally our situations are similar." "I was raised by my stepmother." "Everyone did their own thing." "I was a lonely kid." "I want to design homes that are warm and cozy." "Would you have gotten along better with her had the house had just one front door?" "Does the shape of the house determine harmony?" "Some people just don't see eye-to-eye." "It takes wisdom for such people to live together." "You're trying to convince someone who hates vegetables to eat it because it's good for him." "Mrs. Oki is a customer." "She feels they can live in peace, apart from each other." "Then, why did you marry her?" "Why?" "She's a major bother." "You were so worried about her today." "If you lived alone, you'd be carefree." "Why did you marry her?" "Because alone you're lonely right?" "Even if she's a bother, it's better than being alone." "I'm alone." "Anyway, I'm going to Kamakura to see the property with Mrs. Oki, day after tomorrow." "I'm going to Kamakura too." "Give me your decision then." "Understood." "Kakeru went home." "I'm really sorry about today." "I'm happy that you prepared a box lunch for me, but next time, let me know ahead of time." "I worry about you." "Okay." "I'm going with Mrs. Oki to Kamakura." "Would you like to tag along?" "Let's go together" "Please submit your plans for the theme park." "Mr. Kobayagawa will judge and make the final decision." "Just this one time." "Hello." "It's me." "Meetings not over yet." "I won't be able to sneak out." "Put Hana on." "Hello." "It's me." "He won't be able to go to Kamakura today." "His former supervisor is at today's meeting." "It'll be easier to convince Mrs. Oki with him there." "You said you were going with us!" "We've been waiting for two hours." "I'm going to wait for you!" "The sponsors asked me to introduce them to the best architects." "The faces of my former associates came to mind." "This project was costly." "Please do your best." "Hello." "Sensei?" "They're on their way." "They just left." "I see." "Kamakura..." "He's my darling." "The beach?" "Yes, they left after dinner." "Seems, they often went to the beach." "Look what time it is." "Shall I check on them?" "No, I'll go." "Brings back memories..." "This time last year we were peddling takoyaki." "But, they didn't sell." "The way they tasted, it's no wonder." "You were the one who flavored it." "Really?" "Maybe it was the way you cooked them." "No, the taste was definitely the problem." "And, that sweet sauce." "That was the worst." "Wait, you'll get sand on you." "Thanks." "Those were good times." "You're happy now, aren't you?" "It's more difficult than I thought to be the wife of a celebrity." "He buys me anything I want." "I have everything." "I'm carefree." "Other than cleaning and laundry." "there is nothing I can do." "We eat out most of the time." "I only receive." "There's nothing I can do for him." "Is this right?" "It is." "Mr. Ebisawa enjoys just having you by his side." "Probably, so." "He enjoys having you near him." "So, relax." "I see..." "Shall we go back?" "Careful."
