"Said he'd work around my schedule." "Which brother?" "The younger one." "He didn't want to embarrass his brother so he bowed down to me." "He never dreamed his brother would have asked me." "What are they like?" "Siblings living together sounds intriguing." "They make great curry." "You're way too intrigued." "What if they're rapists?" "Naomi probably goes for seafood." "Yoriko probably likes chicken." "We better make beef too." "Several choices are the safest bet." "That's hard to shop for." "We've got concerns besides food." "Concerns?" "Not cooking' dumplings, are you?" "Homemade won't do." "Mine are best." "See you at my place." "What if they get a headache?" "If the medicine makes them sleepy, they'll think we're perverts." "Speaking of..." "That's not on our list." "Getting ahead of myself." "A bit higher than normal, eh?" "Don't go giving them food poisoning." "Your temp is high." "Gosh!" "Girls are actually coming here." "Pretend two of our mothers are coming." "Should I write down the recipe?" "If they ask, coolly reply." "If they don't?" "Write it down." "Should we put up some pet photos?" "I won't write it down." "Hey... you cool with inviting two girls for me?" "Next time, they'll bring someone for me." "Cool." "And Naomi?" "Not my type." "Too healthy." "The teacher?" "I never date co-workers." "Are you looking for..." "The Mamiya brothers?" "You're prettier than I thought, Teach." "What did you expect?" "If it's boring, wanna leave together?" "Scratch your head to signal me." "Scratching our heads, right?" "Yes." "Understood." "Great." "Come in." "Hello." "We met outside." "Brother." "Get out here!"

"Chicken, beef and seafood curry." "Seafood for me." "Enjoy." "And don't hold back any complaints." "Nice blend of spices." "What did you use?" "That's my brother's department." "As a kid he took morning glories and..." " Morning glories?" " He squeezed them..." "We're eating, you know." "Morning glories?" "We agreed to change the dye story." "TPO brother!" "Gotcha." "Sorry." "Something wrong?" "You two crack me up." "Simply delicious." "Thank you." "So you've got a boyfriend." "I guess you could... call him that." "Aren't shy about your body, are you?" "A cigarette after curry is delicious." "Do you have a boyfriend?" "It's a dead end romance." "Dead end romance?" "Teach?" "Eight." "Water Works." "I don't need it." "No way!" "If you don't need it, then..." "I don't!" "Your turn, Teach." "Uh, Aki..." "Akinobu." "Sorry." "I have these two and... if you don't mind, I'd be thrilled if you could trade me." "Marvin Gardens..."

"All right!" "Gimme." "How much?" "1275!" "You're bust, bro." "Yes, but I give it all to Naomi." "Thank you." "Bankrupt." "With him bankrupt, shall we call it a game?" "Okay." "Game over." "What shall we play next?" "We've got many." "Well..." "We'd better get going." "You think?" "Don't keep them long." "Shall we clean up?" "Today's post-game." "You're so right." "You betcha." "What was your impression of Yoriko?" "Thought she was beautiful." "At school she only wears sweats." "Pretty risqué." "She was totally undressing." "You know it." "I prefer modest girls." "And that unbelievable trade you made." " Meeting Naomi in a real setting was..." " Oh yeah." "Her voice was different from at the video shop." "Screaming and such." "They loved our washer/dryer." "And used our toilet." "If I went to a girl's house, I'd hold it." "Naomi lives with her sister." "If you had to choose Yoriko or Naomi..." "Tough choice." "We played a game at the end."

"I'm still going." "I'll never truly know you until I see how you live." "You're so cruel, Yoriko Kuzuhara." "What do you think she'd say?" "Am I that embarrassing of a woman that I can't meet your mom?" "You might be." "Yoriko Kuzuhara!" "Yoriko Kuzuhara, Yoriko Kuzuhara!" "Wait!" "What size are these brothers?" "Size?" "Height and weight." "Be as accurate and honest as possible." "The older one is 182 centimeters and 75 kilos." "And?" "The younger one is 168 centimeters and 95 kilos." "They seem nice." "Hang out with them when you're free." "How does size determine a person's character?" "Data rules the world." "No man can escape his stats." "Who are you imitating?" "Practice again?" "Yeah."

"My regards to you." "Best regards." "Cheers." "Mr. Suzuki gets wasted after one beer." "Please look after him." "How is it?" "Today's all you can eat and drink." "Why is low-cal beer so light in taste?" "Can't it have more gusto?" "Low-cal beer with a heavy taste?" "A heavy taste with no calories would be best." "Ogaki."

Which type of girl do you like?" "Now, that's a tangent." "I like a girl who says "take me somewhere."" "You don't say?" "I'm the "let's go here on Sunday" type." "Pardon me."

"Didn't somebody?" "Nope." " No owner." " Nobody yet." "Well, I'll pass." " No purchase?" " It's a great property." " I'll buy it." " Buy it, Naomi." " You sure?" " Okay everyone?" "Go ahead." "320, huh?" "You sure?" "In return, could I trade this for that purple one?" " This?" " Yes." "That's unfair if I give..." "But..." "That won't work on me." "You sold me." "Get real!" "You've got a monopoly!" "But I want these." "Come on now!" "You still need more!" "Besides, that's too cheap!" "Come on!" "Today's post-game." "Wow, I mean Naomi's leg, was like right by me." "Surprised me." "That was... well, you know." "Tamaki's legs are white too." "What do you mean?" "Naomi told her what for." "She's such the big sister." "You'd never expect they were sisters." "Yumi seemed to have never played boardgames." "Clueless." "Yumi and Tamaki... wore jewelry with their kimonos." "That put me at ease." "Watch yourself bro." "When you took Naomi's photo, Yoriko wanted hers taken." "Never even took Naomi's, did you?" "Teach was at it again stripping." "Didn't think I'd fall for it, but since she did, well..." "Well what?" "I never date co-workers." "Makes no difference." "We ain't talkin' 'bout me." "Who do you like?" "Naomi!" "What should I do?" "She's on my mind." "That much?" "Naomi." "I can see myself out." "Thanks so much." "We learned much." "Thanks again." "I learned a great deal too." "Thanks." "Visit the Sendai factory anytime." "We'll share a few beers." "Okay." "Thanks for the invite." "Thank you." "Mamiya!" "I'm indebted to you all." "Much appreciated." "Come again." "Thanks for your assistance." "I'll take my leave." "Thanks for your kind care." " Thank you." " Goodbye." "Did you go to Naomi's today?" "I see." "More importantly, I learned that humans can always defeat automation." "Even though the beer is the same, the taste varies a bit at each factory." "You don't say?" "Making sweet, rich cocoa?" "Great to hear it." "Go for it." "It's ready." "Gotta go." "Phooey on your cocoa!" "I didn't even say goodnight." "Having someone to call at the end of a long day is great." "Relaxing." "I'll read myself to sleep." "No renting videos from Naomi tonight." "Come on!" "Can't you at least think to let me take the kettle off?" "I hate people with no couth." "Hello." "Mr. Mamiya?" "Uh, yes." "Glad I caught you." "It's Saori." "Thanks for the other day." "Now I know you were just being nice." "Sorry to call so late, but I'm in a rush and..." "Saori?" "Not Eiko?" "Saori Ogaki." "I have something for Ken." "This is Akinobu's brother, Tetsunobu." "He's on a business trip and returns tomorrow." "I'm in a bind." "I left my dog, Kobu, at home." "What am I gonna do?" "What I need to do is pick up the item, right?" "I'm close by." "Wait a moment, please." "Sorry about that." "There's a coffee shop called Lumiere near the station." "Would you mind waiting there?" "I'm on my way." "Okay." "Goodbye." "How thrilling... being summoned by a woman in distress." "Based on her voice, if she were famous, I'd say she's a bit cold, headstrong..." "This one." "CAFE LUMIERE" "Welcome." "Mr. Mamiya?" "I'm his brother, Tetsunobu." "Nice to meet you, Saori Ogaki." "I'm terribly sorry to drag you out." "Especially since you're his brother and not him." "No problem." "I can handle whatever he can do." "Master, the usual." "Your brother and my husband seem to be close." "Your brother's a nice person." "Have your brother give this to my husband." "You can't do it yourself?" "He hasn't come home." "I think it's another woman, but I can't bother him at work." "Left?" "Leaving you behind?" "Unbelievable." "That's unpardonable!" "I think so too." "Eat something hot and sweet." "Now's the best time for it." "I'll listen to you." "I shouldn't." "Master, we'll have the pancakes." "That's the happy hour menu." "It's past eight." "Read the fine print." "But I come here all the time." "My dog, Kobu, is waiting." "I'd better go." "Thanks for doing this." "I'll do exactly as you instructed." "It's a long, boring ride." "Shall I lend you my MD player?" "Antibacterial earphones, so it's safe." "Thanks, but no thanks." "But you like Sendai's fish paste." "Why the pouting?" "You're so easy to read." "You got a problem?" "Why are you friends with that adulterer?" "I'm having the fish paste." "Been looking forward to it." "Wanted to see you smile but..." "My tea." "I'm disappointed in you." "You suck!" "And so does Ogaki." "He's using you." "And you're being used." "It's their business, not yours." "Calm down." "Ogaki's the one leaving her." "I'm not trying to make him do it." "'Course not." "Why get so worked up?" "I just want to live truthfully and properly." "Fine." "Bath ready?" "Why should it be?" "I ain't your wife." "That logic proves you're old fashioned." "Stop worrying about others." "What about yourself?" "Try talking to Naomi." "I haven't said a word." "I haven't even gone to see her." "Wonder why." "Why, why?" "I should look in my heart." "I wonder why." "Why?" "Says they're taken in..." "Hawaii, Izu Highlands, Karuizawa..." "Seoul and Paris but... aren't these from the city park?" "Put those away." "Okay." "Why'd you bring them?" "It's none of my business." "I know." "I don't want to hide things from you, Miyoko." "I want you to see how sneaky she can be regarding the divorce." "I'm fine." "Doesn't bother me." "Some people are like that." "Trust me." "I love you." "She's on the edge." "The divorce is almost final." "I love you." "You're on the edge too." "Tetsu." "We came." "I did say it would be fun..." "Sure did." "What's up?" "A private lair, eh?" "Any female janitors?" "Hardly." "It's tough work." "Hello?" "Guess where I am?" "An elementary school janitor office, hardly seen by mortal man." "Catch you later." "Tone it down or you'll cause problems." "I hear you." "Where's Tamaki?" "Probably getting his kicks." "He's got a building fetish." "Building fetish?" "Thanks." "Somewhere together, somewhere together." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Uh..." "Next time, somewhere together..." "how about it?" "Huh?" "Somewhere together." "Oh! "Somewhere Together"." "That movie is..." "No, you and me." "Somewhere together, us on a date?" "I decline." "You're kidding, right?" "Forgive me." "There's... someone else." "I was supposed to bring him last time." "I told Tetsunobu about him." "But he couldn't make it after all." "You and me, "together" well..." "that's not right." "Not right, is it?" "Certainly not." "I'm sorry." "No, forgive me." "Hello Tetsunobu?" "If you don't wanna get your ass beat, grab the laundry and... come to the coin laundry by the public bath." "On the double." "We just did the wash." "Just put it in." "I'd have gone ballistic if I went home." "I wanna calm down." "That's why I picked here." "What's wrong?" "Did you know Naomi liked someone?" "I heard she's got a boyfriend, but I'm not sure if she really likes him." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Now I've severely embarrassed her." "Gave you the cold shoulder?" "She declined." "Then go out with Yoriko." "You said you didn't care who." "Once I'm decided, I only have eyes for that person." "Huh?" "That's it!" "You're angry at me from before." "Because you thought I was helping Ogaki get divorced." "You're... sweet on..." "Saori Ogaki?" "Saori Ogaki, eh?" "Saori Ogaki, eh?" "Enough." "Didn't rain, did it?" "I even heard the forecast." "Let's do this?" "This?" "Sure." "The fish tail flies best." "This one flies crooked." "OK." "I'll fix it." "Planes have it easy." "A quick fix and they're on course." "Quick fixes don't work for love." "Here." "Hello Kota?" "Be home late." "Team dinner." "Do my wash and kick back." "Fuck off." "Quand je viens à l'école?" "Oui, d'accord." "J'ai déjà acheté le livre." "Merci." "Bonjour à tous." "Teach." "Yumi, it's been a while." "What're you doing here?" "I work here." "Mamiya, got any batteries for this watch?" "I do." "I'll install them." "You can do that too?" "Anybody with a screwdriver can." "Is the MD ready?" "I was looking forward to it." "Oh yeah, that." "Gimme a while longer." "I misplaced some music." "Where's your boyfriend?" "He's here." "On the playground." "Here you go." "Thanks." "Yumi, say hi to your sister." "Okay, sure." "Tetsu, she digs you." "No way." "I wonder." "I think she likes you." "There's only one woman for me." "I'm rooting for you." "Sis got stood up again." "Guess I'll rescue her." "I forgot mother's birthday." "Must be my birthday!" "Go for it!" "Wrong way." "Throw it this way." "Mother, are you okay?" "Fine." "Forgot my birthday, didn't you?" "I googled all the places I wanted to see in Tokyo." "That good-for-nothing info highway." "This place looks nice." "The staff are on the ball." "If you were staying, did you pick a hotel?" "If grandmother wasn't around, I'd relax using a Ladies Spa package deal." "Don't kill her off now." "Grandmother's not a burden." "Which helps." "I'll be like her soon enough." "I'm worried more about you two." "Not eating well, are you?" "Now eat your terrine." "It looks delicious." "You regret we didn't become lawyers like father?" "Why?" "You like your jobs, right?" "If we were lawyers, we'd be more popular with girls." "Aren't you popular?" "You have to be." "You're both great chums." "It's no big deal if you're not popular." "I can board by myself." "But thanks." "Thanks for taking time from your busy lives for me." "See you at New Year's." "You bet." "Let's cruise in the Rolls." "Actually, I sold it." "So?" "I got a Hummer." "Hummer?" "No way!" "?" "Just kidding." "Driving a simple station wagon." "Take care of yourselves." "You too, mother." "Did you have fun, mother?" "Excellent!" " Great." " Great." "The bullet train is sweet." "Tell me Saori's phone number." "What're you gonna do with it?" "Cheer her up I guess." "She's totally not your cup of tea." "You couldn't cheer her up." "She's the hottest wife I've ever seen." "Give it a rest." "Latching on to someone at their weakest is low." "Lemme at least email her." "Give up on Saori." "The world's scarier than you think." "It's Tetsunobu Mamiya." "Thanks for the other day." "Sorry to impose on you." "I just called to see how things worked out." "Thanks for asking." "Sorry for making Akinobu's brother worried too." "How's your dog, Kobu?" "He's fine." "This is for him." "It's dog health food, very rare." "He's a cat called My Dog Kobu." "An American shorthair." "A cat?" "My husband's dog, Kobu, died so we named the cat, My Dog Kobu." "Interesting way to name him." "So I can't accept it." "Because it was for a dog." "I mixed this new MD for you." "It's filled with Christmas songs for the holidays." "Why do I have to accept music from you?" "Take this back too." "I never listened to it." "Am I annoying?" "I thought you'd be happy." "Music heals deep wounds." "This hurts even worse." "It's annoying." "I'm terribly sorry for causing you trouble but... stop, just stop all this." "You're old enough to know what I mean and to know better." "Some stranger latching on to you is annoying, right?" "You probably can't get Mr. Ogaki off your mind yet so..." "I understand that spending time like this is meaningless." "That's enough." "I'll be going now." "But life goes on, nothing grows from hatred." "I'm not such a bad guy." "The music is blameless." "Please listen." "I don't need MDs." "Help." "Tetsunobu, help me." "Help me." "Wanna go home and do crossword puzzles?" "Let's keep living together." "Peacefully." "Like we have been." "When was Haneda officially called Tokyo International Airport?" "Which countries have regular flights to Haneda Airport today?" "Which track is affiliated with Tokyo City Horse Track but not with Nankan Racing?" "The official name of the Tokyo Tower?"

"Asakusa's Sanja Festival is...?" "Among the 25 bridges along the Sumida River..." "I'm back." "Why are you alone?" "He... went to Paris." "Said he wanted to study there." "Him in Paris?" "No more laughing at him now." "What'd you say?" "I'll show you." "Say, "Will you wait for me, Yumi?"" "Will you wait for me, Yumi?" "I decline!" "What happened with your "only one woman for me"?" "Got shot down." "This is different." "It's not love." "A friendship hug." "I know." "This is an elementary school." "People could be watching." "Fake a laugh and pull back." "Lend me your cell." "I'll make you my ringtone." "Some of the bottles of beer are happy to be drunk... while some never reach your fridge." "Now after experiencing the beer making process... it's time to enjoy the newly made beer." "Please raise your glasses." "Bottoms up." "Drink all you want." "Within 20 minutes, that is." "Go ahead." "Mamiya..." "She finally agreed to a divorce." "Thanks for everything." "Are you getting married?" "Once things settle down, please come to our house." "Your home?" "Anything but that." "I hear you." "The Mamiya brothers are planning a hotchpotch party." "I can't go." "After what I said and all." "You always think too much." "It's not like he proposed or demanded you to break up with Kota." "He just asked you out." "You know..." "Kota might be out somewhere too." "Sure, he might but..." "He's not around for Christmas." "And my Tamaki's in Paris." "He's with his team." "Probably at a singles party." "If the person you love is happy, that's fine by me." "So let's go to the party." "They wanted to call it a Christmas party." "But it's so "them" to call it a hotchpotch party." "You know, me and you... now, might be the only time we can stroll like this." "Oh come on." "That'll never happen." "Look at the Mamiya brothers." "They still hang out together." "CAFE LUMIERE For three days, we baked our hearts out." "For three days, we baked our hearts out." "Buy our Christmas cakes." "Please." "Baked them with my daughter." "Gl-i-co." "Jan-ken-poi!" "Cho-co-la-te." "Please buy one." "Pi-ne-ap-ple." "Mamiya, buy one." "Please." "Please." "Cho-co-la-te." "For three days..." "Pi-ne-ap-ple." "Ju-i-ce." "Naomi quit the video shop." "Not because of my brother though." "She got a job with a film publicist." "According to Yumi, that is." "Like always, we have no plans with girls for Christmas." "For two weeks, we've been watching films set in great locations." "On Christmas Eve, we'll decide our next trip destination." "I wanna go to space." " You can't." " I can't."
