"Kakera:" "A Piece Of Our Life" "Hey, I've gotto get going." "I'm seeing her today." "So let's talk tomorrow." "Good morning, Haru." "First period is cancelled." "Wow." "Is that cocoa?" "Taste good?" "Hello." "My name is Riko Sakata." "You had a cocoa moustache." "Thank you..." "Sorry, I'm kind of sloppy." "Why "sorry"?" "Can I sit here?" "Excuse me." "An iced cocoa with no ice, and a slice of cheesecake, please." "Make it a big slice, if possible." "Do you like cheesecake?" "It's OK." "Baked ones are better, right?" "They're dense and rich." "I like the unbaked ones too." "They're fluffy." "Here's your order." "That really is big." "Thank you." "This is surprisingly good." "Hey, try it." "What's that look on your face?" "Do you do this kind of thing often?" "What do you mean?" "Well..." "Talkto strangers, like you are now." "Oh, no." "I'm perspiring." "Look, I'm not recruiting for a cult." "I'm not religious." "Nor am I a sex industry recruiter, I have a respectable job." "I'm interested in you." "Because you are cute." "I don't always do this." "I just find you attractive so I came over." "If I let this moment pass, I'd never see you again." "Haven't you ever felt that way about someone?" " Yes, I have." " Right?" "I wouldn't waste such a chance." "I said hello and now we're talking." "Are you only interested in girls?" "I like how girls feel." "I love to touch and I love being touched." "Girls feel soft and smell nice." "What's your name?" "My name's Haru." "It's not about if you're a man or a woman." "You should have someone who you think feels good." "Right." ""To Haru"" "Call me anytime." "Call me anytime." "Haru." "Why are you here?" "I told you to call before you come over, didn't I?" "That was close." "We should stop seeing each other." "What are you talking about?" "Hey, you have hair on your upper lip!" "I've gotto goto work." "Want to walk with me?" "Well, well..." "How's Minoru's ear coming along?" "Put your heart into it." "Your work is unsteady." "You have to learn to sculpt with your heart." "Yes, Sir." "Well, well..." "That's your phone." "Oh, so it is." "Hello?" "Hi, Haru!" "Oh, my God, I'm so happy!" "Oh, you did?" "Hello." " Sorry, I must go." " She'll be right with you." "Riko, Ms. Yamashiro is here." "Sorry, right away." "Where are you now?" "My lunch break is at 12:30." "Call from the cafe where we met." "It's close to where I work." "See you soon." "Thank you for waiting." "I'm Sakata, your prosthetist." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Tohko Yamashiro." "We'll begin with a consultation." "Follow me." ""Tanaka Prosthetics"" "You can pick them up if you want." "These are the ones II made." "Each one's unique... that's pretty obvious I guess." "I'm so impressed that you made these..." "Amazing..." " It's so light." " It's a new material." "As airy as a balloon." "Try this one." "It's heavy." "It's lighter than the real thing." "No wonder boobs cause back pain." "I'm luckyl don't have back pain..." "I'm so happy." "I never expected you to contact me." "I bet you thought I was crazy insane." "No, I didn't but it was kind of shocking." "I felt like I wanted to speak with you again." "Really?" "That's great." "We'll make good friends." "Riko, what do you do about unwanted facial hair?" "Look." "I leave it to grow." "Shaving stings so I hate it." "This way I can still get a milk moustache." "You're right." "See?" "You're so lovely." "Haru." "Yous mell like an animal..." "I want to know how you usually smell." "What's wrong?" "Whoops..." "I got some." "Put your knickers in this." "Thank you." "Hey." "Let's have a date now." "Okay?" "But... how about your work?" "No problem, I'm done for the day." "The world's greatest animal..." "It's great!" "Of course it is!" "I want to ride one." "And then go around the world." "Yeah, let's!" "Elephant tusks never stop growing." "I could be adental prosthetist and make elephant crowns." "You'd become world famous." "The Americans would put you in the Guinness World Records." "And in India they'd make a statue of you." "How cool!" "Aren't those records British?" "Look at the goat hair!" "You're lucky." "I'd love to wear a skirt like that." "Skirts are so easy." "You'd look great in one." "I can't wear skirts..." "They don't suit me." "Don't be silly, you'd look great in one, really!" " You'd look great!" " No, I wouldn't." "Really, really great." " No!" " Great!" "That was a lot offun." "Hey, goat-hair girl." "Goats are my friends." "They're cute." "You want to marry one?" "Marry a goat?" "Where are we going?" ""Sakata Dry-cleaners"" "Here." "What can I do for you?" "Oh, it's you, Riko." "This is my friend." " Hello, sir." " Hi there." " Dad, where's Mum?" " She's inside." "She's eating with us tonight." "I'm Haru Kitagawa." "Nice to meet you." "Like wise." "I'm Riko's father." "She knows that already, Dad." "Let's go in the house." "Welcome." "Round the back." "See you later." "Mum." " Mum." " Riko, don't shout." "Oh, hello there." "This is a friend." "She's eating here." "Nice to..." "Don't be formal." "Come upstairs." "Your parents seem nice." "They are." "There's one more of us." "Come in." "Don't just stand there." "Come and sit down, Haru." "This seems kind of strange..." "What?" "Do you really, really like girls?" "It's not that I like girls." "It's you I like, Haru." "It smells nice in here." "Men and women are all humans." "It's only hard when we categorise ourselves." "Homo sapiens have 23 pairs of nuclear chromosomes per cell." "Among those pairs, there are sex chromosomes." "XX makes a female and XY makes a male." "So it comes downto this, "Do you hav ea Y chromosome?"" "Answering "No" will determine if you are a man or a woman." "Women have a field where the crop grows." "It's a crop field of X chromosomes." "In this field a seed is sowed called sperm, with X and Y chromosomes." "As the seed copulates with the field, conception occurs." "This may suggest that the difference between a man and a woman depends on the sperm." "But I doubt that myself." "Maybe we don't need to define ourselves as man or woman." "Maybe it's as arbitrary as whether the zoo was open or not." "What we do know is that in the beginning all humans start out being women." "Grandma." "I see you two are very comfortable." "Oh, my God, what should I do?" "Don't worry." "She's the one I mentioned before." "She'll forget soon." "She's a bit senile." "A kiss for our friend ship." "Didn't you like it?" "A kiss for our friend ship." ""I'm going to ditch her. 'Ryota"" "The Tin Drum, or Die Blechtrommel." "The motif of Oskar Matzerath, the protagonist is clearly alluded to in Frau Holle from the Brothers Grimm tales." "In Frau Holle, there's a daughter and a step daughter." "The apples symbolise life and the oven symbolises burning hell." "And the bottom of the well symbolises the uterus of the daughters." "These three elements represent the ancient Germanic psyche and also represent the purgatory that girls live in now." "In The Tin Drum, Oscar refuses to growolder than 3 but he's really 30 inside." "He has this duality." "His dilemma is that of post-war Germany and the dilemma is embraced in women's skirts." "What's wrong, Haru?" "Are you hungry?" "Haru." "It's a good luck charm." " For me?" " Yes." "I'll always beon your side." "They're beautiful." "They're geraniums." "They're my favourite." "White ones are not so common." "The plainness of white is beautiful." "Wait here." "I won't belong." "Hello." "Sorry, I'll get your forms now." "I'm sorry, isn't this your day off?" "It's perfectly OK." "Taka hashi was telling me his story." "How as a kid, your boss made legs for him and now he works here." "It's touching." "And happily married with 2 children." "Riko, that's enough." "I owe every thing to those legs." "Here they are." "Excuse me, I have to go." "Thank you." "Can you tell me?" "I want to know why." " Youk now..." " What?" "Thereas on why you..." "Why I like you?" "I don't know." "You don't plan love." "It's like I just fell in a huge hole!" "And a twine came flying at me, grabbing my heart really tight." "My heart started to thump like crazy..." "What'sthat?" "Fireworks?" "In winter?" "Let's watch them." "They're far away... but beautiful." "Winter fireworks..." "See how the smoke lingers?" "Fireworks look like they are shooting up but they also look like they're falling." "May be this is what war is like." "It's beautiful." "Why did you choose your job?" "I want to help people with something missing." "My family business is to clean what's dirty." "It's in our blood." "You know, the moon is full only once a month." "Every other day, it's fragmented." "But the crescent moon's also beautiful." "What do you want todo, Haru?" "I don't know." "I want to be..." "loved." "Remember you saidt hat you liked to feel girls because they were softer?" "I thought something similar once." "I was put under anaesthesia." "Years ago, I had a pain so severe I couldn't even walk." "Doctors gave me injections the size of ice-picks everyday." "Oh, it hurts!" "The injections made me numb from my waist down." "So I tried to grab my butt." "It felt like I was feeling somebody else's butt." "My hands had full sensation." "But my butt was senseless." "That's when I thought to myself..." ""How lucky men are to touch something so soft and cuddly..."" "That wasn't a kiss for our friendship." "Why are you so upset?" "I'm only here so we can talk about this." "And as I said, you were wrong about the other day." "We broke up but then she came over." "That's a lie." "It is not!" "Why would I lie to you?" "I realise now that I need you." "It's too late to say that." "I really broke up with her." "You can't just turn someone away when they visit." "You can't, right?" "Huh?" "But you guys were walking together..." "Stop it!" "I love you, Haru." "Haru, your phone." "Hey!" "Hi, this is'Riko." "Hi, are you Haru's friend?" "Hold on a sec." "Wake up, it's your friend." "Come on." "She hung up." "You saw him again?" "Because..." "Did you stay over?" "You slept with him?" "I don't know where to start..." "About what?" "Can I ever escape him?" "What?" "I don't want to hear this bullshit." "You're just being indecisive!" " No." " You fucked him!" "Keep it down!" "Can't you help me through this?" "You know your problem, you're weak!" "You make me sick!" "You can't understand me because we have different taste." "What is it that I can't understand?" "I don't fall in love for taste." "Haru, you're not in love with your boy friend." "You deceive your self by feigning acceptance in the name of love..." "Just so you can be with him." "You can't leave the relationship because it's simpler for you to indulge in your own weakness." "You're just easy for him to have around." "You've never love da guy." "Don't tell me what's wrong with my life." "You look innocent but you're mean!" "I might not know about men but I've known many people." "You just want sex, don't you?" "You're really pathetic." "Some things you can'tsay even to your friends!" "Don't tell me what I'm like!" "You don't know!" "I'm not finished yet!" "Shut up!" "Hey, sit down!" "You're wrong!" "You understand nothing!" "Why don't you understand that I've never thought of you as afriend?" "I love you!" "I've wanted to be someone special to you." "We spend so much time together but you don't get it." "I want you in my arms!" "I want to hold you and kiss you a million times!" "Riko." "What's up?" "You look like you're at a funeral." "I'm just preoccupied..." "I guess I'm in love." "Way to go." "But she has a guy." "Dangerous." "Somebody rescue me..." "This is my hubby." "Hello." "You know, it's like roses." "It's good because it has thorns." "Women's weapon is our crotch." "Souse it." "That's right." "Drink up and pull yourself together." "Ms. Yamashiro?" "Good evening, I'm Riko." "Who?" "Your prosthetist." "Oh, really?" "Thanks, Riko Sakata." "Your emember me!" "You're Ms. Yamashiro, aren't you?" "You are all in black and antsy..." "Like an ant... an ari." "Right, Muhammad?" "Muhammad Ali." "Looks like you are also a mean fighter like him." "Right, Muhammad?" "Pardon?" "Don't you know him?" "Fool..." "What ever." "You're pretty, Muhammad." "I'm Riko." "Call me Tohko." "Haru." "What's up?" "You usually play a long." "Haru, come here." "Don't." "Don't be upset!" "Are you mad at me?" "No, you stink!" "I've had enough of this." "It's always the same!" "We meet, have sex..." "We meet to have sex!" "That's all wedo." "It's indecent." "What do you want me to do?" "What's love to you?" "What's a girlfriend to you?" "I can't be bothered." "Do I know you?" "You're so self-centred." "Nothing is ever going to get better." "This is it, good-bye." "I'm finished..." "Are you OK?" "You're so clumsy." "Tanaka Prosthetics." "Hold on, please." "Riko." "Don't run, you're making the dust fly!" "It's for you." " Who is it?" " Ms. Yamashiro." "When you concentrate you don't hear a thing!" "This is Sakata speaking." "Muhammad, get snappy!" "What time will you finish?" "Pick me up now." "Have coffee with me." "Now?" "Sure." "I'll see you soon." "I have to deliver something." "I've gotto run now, Takahashi." " See you later." " Take care." "Stop bugging me..." "I'm leaving now!" ""Haru"" "Hello?" "Hi, it's been awhile." "Sorry, I know you're working." "Can you talk now?" "Sure." "I think I want to see you." "OK, let's meet." "You're late!" "I was just about to leave." "I'm so sorry." "I can explain." "Never mind." "Let's go." "I'd love to but I can't today." "I have to meet my friend." "What's this about?" "We drifted apart after a fight but she called me just now." "We're going to patch things up." "No, don't go." "Sit." "You know perfectly well that you'll have more fun with me." "Tohko, I've been in love with her all along." "I wanted to be more than just friends but I didn't know how." "I got frustrated and was mean to her." "I want to make it up with her." "What's the big deal?" "Is she more important to you than me?" "Tohko." "I'm putting everything I have into making your body part." "But I can't fulfil the hollow you have in your heart." "We can't be friends unless you try harder." "Sorry about the other day." "No, I'm sorry." "Have you been busy?" "Same as usual." "I'm pretty quick at what I do." "I'm making a boob." "I see." "It's cold..." "But yummy." ""As Shirota embraced Chika, he felt his chest swell." "Her perspiration faintly tantalised his nostrils." "Which drove him to press his pelvis to hers." "As if to wipe off the bloodshed last night, Chika wiggled her tongue and lapped at his nape, like a wild beast would." "Stripped now down to manhood and womanhood, they fucked the shit out of eachother."" "What's that story?" "Yeah, what is this?" "And what's going on with my hair?" "Awesome!" "I don't understand those stories." "Then again, we're the result of male / female copulation." "Both you and I." "Mum and Dad did it in a house, scented with softener." "As a result I came out of that tiny cavity." "It sounds so wicked." "No, it isn't." "It's wonderful really." "I don't like those mushroom heads." "Except Dad's thing." "It's a lovetool." "In the future I shall live my life close to Virgin Mary." "Haru." "Haru." "Who's that?" "The owner of the erotic novel." "Haru, open up." "This is major!" "I have huge news." "I'm kind of busy now." "The professor made mean assistant on account of my thesis." "So I kissed my job good-bye!" "Your line was busy so I cameover." "Howare you, Haru?" "I found someone." "What?" "You must be kidding." "No, we really enjoy each other's company." "Hi, thanks for taking care of Haru." "Hi." "Is she a school friend?" "This is Riko." "I'm Riko, Haru's new love." "OK." "That's right, now excuse us." "Wait a minute, what's going on?" "You're in love with this woman?" " Is she a dyke?" " Is she a dyke?" "You're going with a woman now, Haru?" "I'm confused." "I've been sleeping with a lesbian?" "That's gross." "Leave!" "Go away now!" "You have nothing todo with us!" "Go!" "Balls don't make you superior!" "Maybe one day you'll adapt to the global modern world." "Asshole." "Are you asleep?" "Yes, I am." "I might be late tomorrow." "It could take me all night." "I have a precious finger to finish." "Good morning." "Droopy eyes, sleepy eyes." "Look at this." "My client was determined to have a church wedding and exchange rings with the groom." "I'm making her ringfinger with my blessings." "What have you got?" "Rice balls." "I'm so hungry!" "Let's eat them." "Watch out!" "Riko, you bought too many things." "What will you cook?" "I could make curry I guess." "Let's give it some thought." "Mmm." "Can I have the fizzy drink?" "Wait a second then..." "Here, princess." "Don't throw the drink!" "Riko, catch!" "Haru." "Long time no see." "Where have you been?" "We thought you'd vanished." "I've been coming to school, right?" "Only last week." "Did you get the party invite?" "You're coming, right?" "Oh..." "I guess somebody texted me." "You have to come." "Yes sir, reporting for duty." "Great." "I was worried about you because we haven't seen you." "Make time for us, will you?" "I will, sorry." "Thanks." "In the meantime why don't you come with us now?" "Sure." "This is Tetsu." "He's a fresh man and pretty fun too." "Hi, Haru." "Nice to meet you." "Tetsu, nice to meet you." "Thank you." "There you are." "Yes?" "I just got a phone call." "The bride couldn't be happier with your work." "Good for you." "She sends her regards to you, Riko." "Well, well..." "And I'm the happiest man on earth." "Look, white undies." "Haru, why don't we plan something for next week." "We can go away, just the two of us." "I'm supposed to go to a university party." "Oh..." "Sorry." "How about a date tomorrow then?" "I'll pick the place." "OK." "There'sa sentence I want to hear you say." "It starts with "l" and ends with "U"." "How about..." ""I want to eat Chicken Cordon Bleu."" "That's so wrong..." "Come on, literature major." "I love you." "No, it's "I'll bring icecream to you."" "I'll bring you some." "You come here often?" "This is myfirst time." "I'm with my friend." "I really love this band." "Have you seen them play before?" "Yo!" "Who do you think you're talking to?" "You're the friend?" "Hi." " You like the band too?" " Who cares?" "This is mygirl." "Hey!" "We're totally, exclusively in love!" "I love her more than anybody in the world." "Cool." "Unreal!" "What's wrong, Haru?" "Maybe I want to go..." "I'm going." "I'm in love with Haru!" "I'm not ready to say that aloud..." "I'm back." "Brrrr, it's cold." "A towel..." "I need a towel." "Busy working on an essay?" "Home, sweet home." "It's so warm." "Change your clothes." "You'll catch a cold." "Why don't you quit university?" "Then we cango somewhere." "Sure." "You're not listening to me, Haru." "About tomorrow night" "I'm meeting friends so I might be late." "Where are you going?" "Shibuya, I guess..." "Didn't I tell you before?" "Really..." "Maybe I can come too." "No, you're not a student." "If I'm lonely I'll come and get you." "Let me know where you are." "Okay." "Oh, Jesus, her boobs are too big." "American porn is tacky." "They're like melons." "Silicon enhanced." "And a face job too." "I bet you boys always watch this stuff." "I live with my parents so I can't." "You're just jealous, Yumiko." "Anything for a hard-on!" "You get hard watching this?" "What a cheap cocktail sausage!" "I watched one with animals." "A white horse and a blond." "That sounds interesting..." "Tetsu, he's corrupting you." "Stay away from him." "Eat this and shut up." "Excuse me, can you turn off this porn?" "There's a remote behind you." "Eri, pass me the remote!" "Do you have a boyfriend, Haru?" "She just broke up with one." "What kind of men do you like?" "Gorgeous guys, over 7 feet tall..." "With long, blond hair..." "And muscular..." "Are you listening?" "He has to have a goatee and be fashionable." "Hello?" "Haru, what are you doing now?" "I'm so lonely." "I told you, I'm drinking with my friends." "Everybody, come to the table!" "Hello?" "Haru, help me out!" "Who was that?" "It's so noisy there." "Sorry." "It was Tetsu, one of the guys." "Are there men there?" "You didn't tell me that." "Of course there are." "Don't worry." "I'll call you later." "Who was that?" "Your boy friend?" "I don't have a boyfriend." "Yumiko, do an impersonation!" "I love this audience!" "Do I look old?" "No, about 30 or something." "You have a big head." "I know that already!" "Who are you?" "I'm sorry, Haru." "Hey, another girl!" "The more the merrier." "So what do you do?" "You're so stylish." "Excuse me." "Give me another beer." "Haru, are you asleep?" "I guess you are." "Sleep well..." "Haru, I can finish work at noon so we can go somewhere." "How about a movie?" "Why so non committal?" "I see..." "I guessl should go back to my parents'." "You look kind of frustrated too..." "I think we need some space." "You idiot!" "You idiot!" "That hurt..." "Haru?" "It's better not to overeat food you love." "You make yourself sick." "Favourite foods are better eaten a little at a time." "Look, it's abeautiful day." "It hurts." "It hurts so much." "Aren't you going to answer it?" "It stopped." "It's OK." "I know it's Haru." "You're so cold, Muhammad." "You're cool to me too." "You're mean." "I'm not cold." "I gave you my body and soul." "Actually Riko, Takahashi gave me your body and soul." "Can I see it on you?" "I want you to." "It's so soft..." " Hello." " Hi, there." " Can I have a mandarin?" " You want the mandarins." " Just one, please." " Just one?" "It's 30 yen." "Are you OK?" "I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet." "No money?" "Sorry." "But you want a mandarin." "Take it." " Go ahead." " Is it OK?" "Thank you so much." "Thank you." "Hey, Muhammad." "What are you thinking?" "She's finally started to get to you, hasn't she?" "She hasn't called you recently." "I guess it'sover." "What are you going to do?" "Find another lover?" "I'm going home."
