"Are peperoncini and peperoncino different?" "Peperoncino!" "Let's make peperoncino." "Do you know how?" "Can't we use a boat?" "Well,just peperoncino is kind of unglamorous."

"But why?" "Well." "I am writing a story." "Oh, are you?" "I see." "It's about you." "But..." "I work at the bar." "Oh, do you?" "Yeah." "Yuki in real life has only been... allowed to shampoo for years." "That's tough." "Yeah." "I'm not allowed to cut." "Really?" "Is that so?" "Yeah." "Want another bottle?" "Yeah." "This is our Yuki Day." "Yuki in your story..." "Yes?" "Is life good for her?" "What do you mean?" "Does she have moments in her life when she feels happy?" "Yeah, I guess she does." "You do, too, right?" "Come on." "Don't hesitate." "Well, I might and I might not." "Really?" "I'm sure you do." "Do I?" "You do!" "I do, but I don't know." "You don't know?" "Isn't that sad?" "Yeah, but..." "I don't know, either." "I don't think much about happiness, but..." "Is anyone here lonely?" "Yeah!" "Does anyone want to get drunk?" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Anyone... having fun now?" "Yeah!" "Splendid!" "Let's drink then." "I am." "I am drinking more!" "You see." "I must catch up." "Here." "Thanks." "Wanna drink?" "Yeah!" "Okay." "Let's." "You're an athlete?" "Am I?"

"I'm all set." "Shall we?" "I'll run." "But my stomach's full of beer." "It may go glug-glug." "Anyone here ready to run?" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "I feel so drunk!" "Good morning!" "Morning." "Oh, you run so fast." "Wait!" "Come on." "Too fast!" "Hot!" "Feels so good!" "The slope's tough." "Go!" "I'm hot!" "So hot." "Run!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Tell Yuki..." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Tell her..." "Yes?" "Tell her that was fun." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Sorry, but who's Yuki?" "Yuki the Snow Girl." "The falling snow." "Yuki the Snow?" "You mean..." "Yuki the Snow Girl?" "The thing is..." "Well, I have met her once." "And that was it." "I don't see her now." "Hello?" "If you see her, tell her," "You're her friend?" "Hello?" "Is anything wrong with you?" "Hello?" "Are you all right?" "Hello?" "Will you see her?" "What?" "Will you see Yuki?" "Well." "What's your name, then?" "Hello?" "I may be able to give her your message." "Hello?" ""YUKI"" "An accident that could have been a suicide." "Suicide?" "But why?" "I've only heard she was waiting for the green light." "Then she sort of fell forward." "A car drove over her." "She was killed instantly." "What?" "But why?" "How could she...?" "She was almost drawn to the car of her own will." "That's what they told me anyway." "Who died?" "What?" "Who?" "Oh, it's Yuki." "Is she dead?" "Yeah." "I only know what they have just told me, though." "Really?" "True?" "Well, no." "I don't know." "They just said so." "Can you skip?" "What?" "You mean, like this?" "You know some kids couldn't do that." "It's the time for the last train." "Oh, yes, it is." "I wish I...could stay a little longer." "Hold it." "Why?" "Just hold it." "Sorry." "Not today." "What?" "I don't see...what you mean." "Be good and paint." "Well, fortoday..." "I'm going." "See you." "Bye-bye." "You have grown so." "When have you grown so much?" "The other day, well." "I... went to a lingerie bar." "Oh, so you go to a place like that?" "Were you driven by your animal desire?" "That's me." "So, you go to a place like that." "Although you don't look it." "That one time," "I saw a girl there, and her name was..." "Yuki." "Yuki?" "Yes." "Yuki?" "There was this girl named Yuki." "And I gave her my phone number." "Yes." "I received a call." "But that was... not from Yuki, but... from a strange girl." "She wanted me to tell Yuki... that it had been fun." "When life is... too much to bear," "people sound that way." "Have you everfelt like..." "life is... no longer for you?" "I do every day." "I never do." "What will you be doing on your next day off?" "Nothing." "I'll be home." "I'll be..." "Let's go drink good coffee." "Hello." "Yes?" "I made something hot." "Well..." "Hi."
