"CONCERTO" "Five minutes..." "What'll you have?" "Have you called your husband?" "I sent him a postcard." "Saying?" "I was fine so not to worry." "Promise, you won't tell him where I am." "It's been about a month since you left him." "What's your intention?" "I don't know." "He'll divorce you." "Think so?" "I don't understand him anymore." "I got tired of constantly beating air." "I thought I'd better understand him if I spent some time away from film." "How are you?" "I'm glad you're successful." "It's just the beginning." "Kosuke said in your business, the ride to the top is fast." "It's getting busy." "I have to get back." "Excuse me." "Hey, we're comrades." "I should know how to contact you, just in case of an emergency." "I won't tell Sensei." "Ground floor, crab specialty restaurant." "Second and third floors, fitness center and sauna." "Fourth and fifth floors, credit union." "Must you take on this kind of work?" "I'll prepare an estimate if you ask me to but, are you serious about building this?" "Kuromitsu worked hard to get this job." "Hana signed the contract." "We can't break it." "Please get me an estimate by the end of this week." "You haven't heard from Hana?" "Hire a private detective to look for her." "I tried looking for her." "She'll show up one day." "CONCERTO" "Episode 8 DISENCHANTED LOVE" "A YEAR LATER" "You're dogsitting again?" "You know I hate dogs." "Can't help it." "It's owner's in New York for a month" "What a life." "He's going to paint at a hotel there." "I hate dogs." "Then don't come here." "I'll go over to your place in the evening." "I'll have someone from the office come to clean for me." "Then you don't have to come from morning." "You want me to come over and then." "I'm going to be late for the meeting." "Hold it." "We haven't finished talking." "About what?" "We're getting married in two months." "We should decide where we're going to live." "What's wrong with here?" "My father owns it." "Then I'll buy it from him." "I can start moving in?" "Go ahead, but you have to get along with the dog." "Will you please explain the changes you want to make to this International Convention Center?" "Take a look at the model." "Regarding the main hall..." "Didn't I tell you to be careful?" "I'm just following the blueprint." "I see." "Please fix it." "That'll delay completion." "So what?" "Strict orders from Mr. Tatsumi to complete on-time." "Is he in?" "One minute please." "Why're you meddling in the building of the art museum?" "I'm consulting with Unit Foundation as I build." "I'll decide when to turn the building over." "The director of Unit Foundation is my friend." "He asked me to keep him out of the red." "Fine, but I'm in charge of construction." "You're still inexperienced." "He trusts you because I'm overseeing the project." "You've got to be kidding." "Just do as I tell you to." "Even if you can't build it as designed, stick to the deadline." "I don't want to be told what to do." "I want you to design significant buildings." "I don't want you wasting your time on small projects like that art museum." "I'm doing it because I like it." "The convention center Is more important." "It concerns my company." "You intend to poke your nose into that too?" "At least you have work!" "Be thankful for that." "As long as an architect completes the building as contracted and to the clients' satisfaction, that's good enough." "You'll lose everything if you re stubborn like Ebisawa Kosuke." "Did you hear?" "Ebisawa Kosuke is renting his office to someone else because he doesn't have work to do." "Pathetic, isn't it?" "I finished talking to the real estate agent." "Thanks." "We just need to move out these books and desk." "I'll take them home." "I'm waiting for the movers." "Myth's Designs?" "I bought it quite awhile back but was too busy to read it." "His designs are amazingly simple." "This building is so plain, yet it is very beautiful." "He often said that less is beautiful." "He is interesting." "You should study him too." "You won't have time when you're working for Mr. Mukai?" "Thank you very much for everything." "I wish I didn't have to leave you like this." "Maybe this is a sign for me to study basics again." "I'll call you when I open up my office again." "Thank you very much." "Excuse me." "When I was 18, I was set up with a Mama's boy who refused to eat eel because he was afraid of the bones." "He ate pizza and had to get two stitches in his mouth." "There are all kinds of people." "Mr. Takakura, long time no see." "I've been busy." "Haven't seen you for at least a month." "Couldn't find the place." "I'm not going to serve you kintoki beans." "You have some today?" "We do, don't we?" "Thank you!" "I'm getting off soon." "Stay until closing." "I'll drive you home." "Hana, let's go for a drive next Saturday." "Ask, after you break up with your girlfriend." "You've been working at that place quite long." "The owner's a nice man and the pay's good." "But, it hurts to see you there." "Then don t come." "It bothers me." "You worry about me?" "Half." "What about the other half?" "For relaxation." "Isn't it more effective to take your girlfriend for a drive instead?" "You're in a bad mood tonight." "Because of what you said." "Why don't you come in and have some tea?" "My apartment isn't elegant but the tea's delicious." "Thanks for the ride." "I have a bird again." "Come in and look at it." "But,..." "Come in." "Bun-chan, you should drink water." "I brought my friend with me." "I've been thinking..." "There isn't an udon noodle shop around there." "The rent's cheap." "I'm thinking of saving money and then opening a shop." "My foster father ran an udon noodle shop back home." "The noodles were delicious!" "People came from afar to eat." "It was always busy." "Thinking about opening that kind of shop, has excited me so much, I enjoy going to work everyday." "Come in." "I'll pour you some tea." "A person should have goals." "I've always depended on someone." "That's bad." "Since I was in Shibuya, I went past Kosuke's office, hoping he was there." "It's not that I was ready to go home or know what to expect when I return." "I still wanted someone to depend on." "What do you think about the noodle shop?" "It's a good idea." "Isn't it?" "Almost makes me want to work with you." "I'm joking." "I've got to get an early start tomorrow." "Good night." "Strict drafting rules must be followed for this opera house." "We've selected five architects to present their creative ideas." "I'm sorry I'm late." "May I introduce the five architects?" "May I have a minute?" "What is it?" "This contest is fixed." "It isn't a fair competition." "Mr. Tatsumi controls the organization committee." "I'm going to win." "It's rigged." "The other participants are just supporters." "I had no idea you were coerced into this." "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but it's unnecessary for you to enter this contest." "I can't believe he would stoop this low." "I see." "Pitting me against you would bring him good advertisement." "That's one way of looking at it." "Kakeru, I don't care who wins this contest." "I'm lucky to be considered to design this opera house." "In these past ten years, I've sold myself out by revamping designs I did in my younger days." "So I've been told." "I'm exhausted." "I'm not working at all." "It's a good chance to start all over." "You needn't compete in this contest." "I appreciate your concern." "However, I don't need your sympathy." "It isn't sympathy." "I don't like Mr. Tatsumi's ways." "You needn't accept them." "Whether or not I'm your competition," "If you don't like his ways, you can always withdraw." "Mr. Tatsumi wants me to design it." "You want to too, don t you?" "You're a powerful man, but it's because of Mr. Tatsumi that you're where you are today." "You couldn't have done It alone." "You know that." "So?" "You don't like it, but you can't leave him." "If that's the case, don't sympathize with me." "You're not working, your wife left you, now you're sucked into this kind of contest..." "I'm worried about you." "Why must I take your insults?" "I'm not insulting you." "You did." "You told me to withdraw from the contest." "You have the wrong idea." "You're mean." "That's why Hana left you." "I see why she can't go home even if she tries to." "You know where she is?" "I have to buy mirin." "If you lost, you promised to go for a drive with me." "She didn't promise to go for a ride!" "She did." "It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold." "You lost." "Hana, do you know him?" "A year..." "You sure took a long walk." "How much longer will this walk continue?" "I don't know." "I saw the apartment you live in." "Only from the outside..." "Can't keep the morning sun out with those curtains." "The material is too thin." "You should buy some decent ones." "This is your CD." "I set it up when we got married." "Mine?" "It isn't much." "Hold on to it." "Use it to pay the movers when you come home to me." "I'll be waiting for you." "Did Kakeru tell you where to find me?" "Yes." "Did Kakeru tell you where to find me?" "What're you upset about?" "Scorching kintoki beans isn't a big deal." "You can buy them cheap at the store." "What're you so angry about?" "It wasn't supposed to happen." "Never mind that." "Change your clothes." "Father will be by to pick us up shortly." "He's so impatient, He'll come up here." "We have dinner reservations at 8:30." "You forgot?" "You're going to buy this apartment from my father so we can live together." "You were going to discuss that with him." "How much does he want for it?" "He'll make it cheap." "A lifetime loan?" "Depends on the amount." "I'll be indebted to your father the rest of my life." "Draw the line." "Work is work, home is home." "Can't eat these burnt beans!" "What're you mumbling?" "Hurry up and change!" "Father will be here!" "Let him do what he wants!" "What's the matter?" "I can't marry you." "I can't." "What's wrong?" "I'll return this apartment to you." "What?" "I want to try working on my own, without you." "Please give me my independence." "This is Eiko." "I wanted to inform you that I'm moving to Kyushu." "He has been drafted by a team down there." "It's his last chance." "I'm going with him." "It's sudden, but I'm leaving tomorrow." "Thank you for everything." "Goodbye." "I'll get that." "Pack your stuff." "It's me." "I'd like to see you, from now, later, anytime." "I want to see you before you leave." "I'd like to talk to you." "Name the place." "I'll meet you there." "Where is he?" "He had go to Osaka first." "I'm meeting him there." "So?" "Don't go to Kyushu." "I don't want you to go." "Stay in Tokyo." "That's what I wanted to say." "No promises, even if you stay." "I can't believe what I said." "Selfish, aren't you?" "I am selfish." "Have you mellowed since Hana left you?" "I saw her yesterday, first time in a year." "It was the same as when" "I saw you two months after you left me." "I couldn't drag her home nor tell her to come home with me." "Why not?" "Don't know." "To be honest, I was somewhat relieved when you left me." "I can survive on my own." "I have work, I have money." "I wasn't bored." "I thought so too." "I didn't think you really needed me." "It's important to be needed by someone." "Someone who understands me." "That's why I left you." "But, nine years ago, if you asked me not to leave, I may have returned to you." "If you told me you needed me, I may have gone home with you." "Even though you had him?" "I was unsure." "I was still in love with you." "Is it the same with Hana?" "Perhaps." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "She'll come back to you." "I'm going to get her from now." "Hold her hand and bring her home." "Tell her I need her." "You'd better get going." "I won't repeat the mistake I made nine years ago." "She went for a ride with that customer?" "Something was bothering her." "She guzzled drinks down." "She's been avoiding his advances, but tonight, she simply agreed to go with him." "Where are we going?" "Stop." "I'm getting off." "If you don't stop, I'll jump out." "Don't!" "I'm going back to her apartment." "If she returns, you can reach me at this number." "What's wrong?" "Where were you?" "I jumped from a customer's car." "Got scraped up." "I'm fine." "I'm quite strong, didn't break any bones." "My finch died." "The finch that looked out for me... died." "Kakeru, I'm so lonely." "Everything I do, goes awry." "So will the udon noodle shop." "I'm a failure." "Don't cry." "Don't cry I said." "We're comrades." "I'm here for you." "I'll stay with you forever." "Trust me." "I'll never let you go again." "What is it?" "Let's go home." "I came to get you." "Let's go home together." "I'm taking her home with me." "I'll look after her."
