"Leos have bad blood." "We're rumored to be anemic." "Stop sniffing glue and you'll be fine." "How many people are born under the sign of Leo like you, huh?" "You think they're all like you?" "Course not." "Know what a fortune-teller told me?" ""You and your family are blessed."" "Another one said: "Your mother will die"." "These guys can't agree on anything." "I was born by mistake." "I shouldn't be alive at all." "Your ideas ruin your life, Hiroshi." "You think too much." "Let's just have a good time, eating and chatting." "Life's not that complicated." " I like you." " Huh?" "Your way." "Idiot!" "Hey!" "You only show up when you fancy it, and I'm left with this mess." "Bring it!" "We have no room for the next load!" "We keep a schedule in this company!"

" It was?" "How about your job?" "When will you get back?" "I quit with the termination of the contract." "This summer, I'll work somewhere else." "Do you have a secure job?" "Sure I have." "The nurse is coming soon." "Go home." "Here." "Bananas." "Okay, I'll go then." "Work, nothing but work, that's no way to live." "Huh?" "This is my morn." "Hi there." "Hiroshi." "We received a letter from college." "Please go back to classes before the summer break." "You're causing us enough trouble already." "And?" "Yeah." "Feels good." "The pain is all gone." "But the trip is fading away." "What did you see?" "I was in a river..." "Only my eyes were above the surface." "Following the stream..." "I was part of the flow." "I was in space." "Deep blue space." "I always go there." "My mother..." "She died before I met you guys." "When we arrived in this town, I was a little brat." "Soon afterwards, morn got sick and bedridden." "She always wished she could walk by the river." "After she died, I took her to the river." "On my bike." "My mother's body was gradually getting stiff." "Finally she was like a log." "What is it, Hiroshi?" "Why are you Crying, huh?" " You never told anyone before?" " No." "HOSPITAL SURGERY WARD VISITING HOURS FROM 9 TO 5." " Hello." " Hi." "Why did you come?" " He's discharged today?" " Yeah." "I was in Tokyo all that time." "People are talking." "They say Hideo has changed." "But he's just putting on a show." "He's so reckless." "Anyway, please give him these." "I have to go back to Tokyo." "I found a job as hairdresser." "Please give him my best." "And be a good boy." "Go back to college." "See you." "Would you like an apple?" "Praying for morn again?" "You used to hate her." "You'd say she was nagging you." "You lost your grudge?" ""All dead people become saints."" "What a dumb thing to say." "Hideo, there are noodles on the counter." "I went to the mountains, the other day." "I saw our old house." "What a creepy place to live." "Well, I have to go." "Alright." "Akemi, will you drink with us tonight?" "You'll be our special guest." "Come on!" "Want keep me warm tonight, Akemi?" "I'm honored, let me think about it until tomorrow." "Come on, Akemi." "He's serious." "No way, I'm not interested." "Don't be so prude, "Akemi-the-stripper."" "Hideo." "Hideo!" "What's wrong?" "You look like a ghost." "We heard they gave you a good thrashing." "You're okay?" "It was nothing." "Come hang out with us." "That was so reckless, how you went to meet those guys." "They could have killed you." "Anyway" "You have cigarettes?" "Here." "May I take your order?" " Coffee, cola or beer?" " Whatever." "We don't serve "whatever" here." " Cola!" " How about lemon juice?" "Freshly squeezed lemon juice?" " Give me a cola with lemon, then."

"Ah, you're that Akemi." " "Akemi-the-stripper?"" " Yup." "But I hate that old nickname." "You don't look right." "Maybe because you're battered..." "Everybody says you nearly got killed." "And you lost all your friends, too." " Just let me work on it." " On what?" "You'll fight again?" " I'll show you something interesting." " Interesting, really?" "Dear listeners, tonight's program... the news "Little Red Riding Hood gets eaten."" "The "Rock Show", the weather, the sports news..." "Ryudo Uzaki's Boogie House..." "From our bookshelf, "Night of Mystery"." "We'll continue the evening until midnight..." "Can you be serious?" "Toothpaste that feels always fresh, always new."

"You'd be better off as a hooker." "Your mother was successful." "No, she wasn't very good at it." " Anyway, everyone's doing it." " That's right." "You did some too?" "Are you hungry?" "Not that much." "What's wrong?" "Where are you going?" "Well, there's a friend." " Can I invite him in?" " Yup." "What's his problem?" "How does your body feel?" "With today's heat..." "You're great." "You cook way better than my mom." "You should become a chef." "But you have to finish college first." "And you know what?" "My morn would have loved to be a cook." "But I guess the talent has to run in the family." "So..." "Shut up, will ya?" "Show some table manners." "I've been so hungry lately." "And it's so delicious." "I used an instant spice blend." "I don't believe you." "You're classy." "Whenever I eat like this in front of people they make fun of me." "Idiot." "What's wrong?" "Give it to me." " Hideo won't mind." " No..." "It's fine with me." "I'll do anything you want." "No, no." "Stop it!" "I'm begging you." "I think you're a creep." "I guess I made a fool of me." "He couldn't get it up." "What an idiot!" "He wouldn't be so picky with a man." " Quit joking." " But it's true." "It's hot today." "Hop on." "Hiroshi, you'll ruin your health." "Have a proper meal instead." "My health is gone already." "Shall I take you to the hospital?" "No use, I was born with bad blood." "That "Leo-nonsense" again." "Want to take a trip?" "We have totally different ways." "I want to go to Tokyo." "I'm not my father's child." "But I don't know what I'd do in Tokyo." "It's beautiful weather." "How about a ride to the river?" " He's not my biological father." " What?" " My mother was artificially inseminated." " Huh?" "Dad imposed it on her." "She only carried me to full term." "I'm the son of strangers." "That's why I'm wicked." " Like what?" " This bastard who sold his semen..." "I'd like to kill him." "That's why..." "I wish I knew where he is." "I'm cursed." "I'm an abomination." "Don't throw so hard." "Please, mom." " Mommy?" " I have no money." "Go make some yourself." "You have a pretty figure." "You can't be serious." "Come on, morn." "Give me 10,000 yen." "Please, it's the last time this month." "I don't believe you anymore." " What are you doing with your money?" " I'm not spending that much." "Akemi, you earn a salary as a waitress in that cafe." "They don't pay much." "Come on." "Okay then, I'll sell some of your old stuff." "Akemi!" "What is it?" "Here." "It's the last time, okay?" "Why don't you try your luck somewhere else." "I'm not your bank account." "It's you who should get a new life, away from that dude." " Akemi could work here with us." " No way!" "Come on, let's have some fun." "Where shall we go?" "Hiroshi, any ideas?" "We can go to my place." "Those brats!" "Hey guys, let's have a party." "I know a fun place." "Let's have a party." "Let's go then." "What?" "In that shack?" " You sure, that it's all right?" " Of course!" "I think it's cool." "Drink up, Hiroshi." "You have to." "You're funny." "What's wrong?" "The whiskey... my stomach." "Poor thing." "I'm so hot." "It feels good." "Hideo, let's do it." "Cheer up!" "I'll tell you something cool." "I'm not alone anymore." "What?" "I have a baby in my tummy." "I'll give birth to a baby." "Akemi-the-stripper is having a child?" "Babies are noisy and they stink." "But as soon as they can walk, they're cute." "Rather than walk with a strange man, I'll look cool holding a baby's hand." "Who's the father?" "You won't make it alone!" "I'll manage." "Right?" "We'll be fine." "Caught you like a fish." "Hideo..." "Idiot!" "Those big tits!" "More!" "Hiroshi..." "Forgive me, Hideo." "It's OK, Hiroshi." "I can't go on any longer." "I'm... gonna die." "Why would you?" " Don't work yourself up." " I'll drown in the river." " What?" " I've decided." "Someone said, "Life is magic."" "It's true, but I can't help it." "I was always wondering, when I was going to do it." "Now I made up my mind." "How about the music?" "What's wrong?" "He says he wants to die." "I wanna die too." "And you, Hideo?" "You too, I guess." "Shall we all die now?" "Idiot." " I'm sorry about last night." " What for?" "I teased you last night." "I was beside myself." " The truth is..." " It's okay." "But Hiroshi, I'd like to help you." "Is there anything I can do?" "Thank you." "But there's nothing you can do." "You're still mad at me." " Right?" "You are?" " You're wrong." "All's forgotten." "From now on..." "But I'm sure I can make up for it, if you let me help with your plans." "But..." "I don't have no more plans." "Ah, right!" "Of course you don't." "Akemi?" "Your baby, I'll help you with it." "What's that, Hiroshi?" "It's funny, you know, because they stink and all that." "Hey, here I am!" "Ready?" "Alright!" "Wait!" "Damn it!" " If you say so." " He's determined." " I don't get him?" " We can't stop him." " Such a fool..." " Yup." " Will he do it?" " I guess." " I think it's not right." " You think too much." "Makes me a little sad." "It's not sad." " He leaves us behind." " Yep." "I hate it." "Hate what?" "Your cool attitude." "It's nothing to worry about." "Forget it." "OK." "It's my birthday today." "Really?" "Then it's mean to kill yourself today." "There'll never be another birthday." "Take it." "A memento for you to remember me." "So you're serious." "See you." "'You going, Hiroshi?" "Just go." "We'll stay right here." " You'll be alright?" " Sure." "Do it already!" "Good luck!" "Hiroshi!" "Get a move on!" "Idiot!" "He did it!" "Hideo, let's check back." "Hiroshi." "Hiroshi." "Hiroshi." "Hiroshi." "He's so tough!" "Hiroshi died on his birthday!" "He's the best!" "Hiroshi!" "Poor boy, wait!" "I need to talk to you." "Hiroshi." "Hideo!" "Hiroshi." "Hiroshi." "Are you dead?" "Hideo, come!" "I'm so sad for Hiroshi." "Hide..." "Hideo." " Akemi!" " Hideo!" "Hiroshi!" "Hiroshi!" "Hiroshi!" "Hiroshi!" " Hiroshi." " Akemi!" " Akemi!" " Hiroshi!" "One, two." "One, two." "One, two." "Hey..." "Hey." "Akemi." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "It hurts..." "My belly hurts." "Get dressed." "We're going." "I can't." "I'm telling you." "Quick, get dressed." "Let's go." "Take me to the hospital, Hideo." "Stop that!" "What a drama queen..." "You're so cold." "Hideo!" "It hurts..." "I'm beat." "You slept well." "Where have you been?" "You look exhausted." "I'm so hungry." "I've cooked." "Just a minute, I'll warm up the soup." "What is it?" "Don't worry about your mom's death." "I don't." "What gives you that idea?" "Where's your bike?" "I'm done with it." "I mean..." " Did you sell it?" " No." "It's at a friend's place." "Why all these questions?" " If Morn was alive, you..." " What's this with Morn, today?" "Give me a break!" "We're past that!" "Why this sudden obsession?" "You never cared before." "Hideo." "You see..." "We left the mountains, to settle in this town." "I was employed by the supermarket." "You did the right thing." "I was fed up with the countryside." "Hey, how about some saké, huh?" " I'm fine." " Alright." "What do you want?" "Is Akemi here?" "She's not." "Who are you?" "Thanks." "Wait, what do you want with her?" "Hey, you!" "Don't you carry on with Akemi?" "It's okay, I'm not gonna blame you." "How else do you know our place?" "At least, he could say something." "I saw his face somewhere." "Weird boy." "Hey, you, we won't let you exploit her." "The color is fine?" "Look!" "Hideo, wait!" " Hi." "You okay?" " It's about Akemi." " What's it?" " She's in a hospital, right?" "Yes, she was found on the river bank." "I see." "Bye." " Sat-chan, customer." " Corning." "See you." "Later." " Maybe I should die too." " What?" "Akemi." "Come live with us." "With me and my old man." "Is that all you eat?" " You don't like it?" " I'm not hungry." "It's because you're idle." "Work hard and you'll be healthy." "That's none of your business." "Old men's received wisdom." "But it's true!" "A man should work, right?" "Look at yourself." "You can't even cook." "You should be kinder to me." "I'm depressive, like Hiroshi." "Enough!" "Your cooking will improve with practice." "Thank you." "Hey, eat up quickly." "Ignore him, Akemi." "Take your time." "Okay." "What's with you?" "I'm going to meet some friends." "Alone?" "You think it's the right time to leave her?" "But I just remembered I promised someone." "See you." "What is he doing at this hour?" "ALL NIGHT MOVIES" "ALL NIGHT MOVIES One ticket." "ALL NIGHT MOVIES" "There you go." "What?" "What are you doing?" "Please, hold me tight." "I'm begging you." "What's that?" " Is this a prank?" " Please hold me." "Stop this nonsense!" "Hold me!" "Please, or I get crazy." "I really don't mind." "Come on daddy, please." "Hideo will..." "Hideo..." "I'm sure Hideo won't mind." " Please." " It's really fine with you?" " You really want it?" " Hurry up!" " Come on." " Ouch." "You're back." "You want breakfast?" " Dad's out?" " He just left." "What is it?" "I did what you asked me for." " You wanted me to do it, didn't you?" " Yes." "He's sweet... that old guy." " I'm going." " Where?" "Help yourself to rice and miso soup." "You're still at it?" "Time to call it a day." "You did good today." " I'll do some more before I go." " Really?" "I'm grateful." "But don't come ask for overtime pay." "Right?" "It's so hot today." "Hey, Hideo." "It's been a long time." " You're okay?" " What have you been up to?" " I thought you left town." " So?" "These guys are new." " This is Hideo, our former leader." " Hello boss." "Hello boss." "Have you seen Hiroshi?" "Has he gone to Tokyo?" "No one's seen him." "No idea." "I thought you'd know." "He used to provide us with hospital drugs." "See you around." "Let's go." "Hey, Hideo, let's hang out together again." "Sure." "Let's find some girls." "Come on." " Why are you at home?" " You're early." "Switch off the TV and get to your stove." "Don't talk to me like that." "I'm neither your maid nor your wife." "How about you cook and serve me for a change?" "Dare to say that again?" "Why?" "Who do you think you are?" "Get lost!" "You invited me here, and now you kick me out?" "I'm fed up being your servant!" "I get it." "Don't touch me!" " Get you gone." " Fine." "But I'll wait until daddy comes back." " He won't care less!" " Dream on." "He promised to help me raise my child." "He told me I could stay here." "It's true." "Ask him if you don't believe me." "I promised him." "Dad promised you..." "that he would raise your kid?" " Hideo." " No!" "There's nothing to talk about." "Don't tell him anything." "OK." "I suffered from morning sickness today." "I'll prepare dinner." "Next week I'll start working at the supermarket." "I must contribute to make ends meet." "Hideo." "Hideo!" "Take one." "There's one for you." " No, thanks." " Why not?" "You didn't have lunch." "Take it." " I don't want it!" " No need to be rude." "What's this all about?" "It's about Akemi..." "That much I know already." "She told me." "I see." "It's alright, isn't it?" "What's alright?" "I was worried how you'd take it." " Good." " What's good in that?" "Who said it's good?" "Dirty old man." "How... how dare you talk to me like that?" "You'll take care of her kid?" "Mom is turning in her grave." "Don't drag Morn into this." "You made a fool of her." "Deep down you always repelled her." "You were always busy." "She felt abandoned." "Clueless idiot!" "You've got no idea what went on between us." "For your mother... whatever I gave her, it was never good enough." "Of course!" "Just look at yourself!" "Hideo..." "What?" "I share my girl with you and this is what I get in return?" "What was this?" "Don't touch me." "Hideo!" "Don't forget to go to the hospital today." " Some money." "I put it here." " Okay." "You'll do as the doctor says." "I'll take the afternoon off for the appointment." "Have a nice day." " Don't you get up?" " Leave me alone." "Hurry up, you're gonna be late." "Hideo, enough." "Come here." "I'm not in the mood for a quickie." "I've to go." "Is that a baby belly?" " So you're serious about it." " Of course." "You didn't believe me?" "It's moving inside me." "It feels funny." "But it's cute." "You know, Hiroshi said:" "'I'll help you with your baby.'" "And then he killed himself." "He simply disappeared." "Didn't he?" "Bye, I'm going." "What's wrong, Hideo?" "Watch that dog." "A stray dog found its way into the garden." "See you." "What happened?" "Planning:" "SHIRO SASAKI, AWA TOYOAKI."
