No waves!
It's no place for surfing.
Why did you come?
It's red
No
Quit smoking
Didn't I tell you?
School kids, huh?
Are they?
Rough, huh?
What's up?
What is it?
Take a look
That woman's letter
"You write to me almost daily
"You're too persistent"
It's your fault
My fault?
Why?
She says, "Too persistent"
You write every day
You told me to
No one likes letters now
I suppose
She says, "It sickens me"
What?!
That bitch!
Damn you!
Stop it!
Master!
Nothing else?
What?
Any more terrific music?
Some joint!
You called?
Listen
What happened?
It's coming!
Stop!
Watch out! Clear the way!
Let's go!
A man in back!
Where's the fire?
Who are you?
N. Ishii, 2nd Squad, Harari Firehouse
Get off! You're in the way!
I'll do what I must!
No!
Nakae, Tomita...
Morishita, Matsumoto...
Where's Ishii?
He went on a fire truck
What?! Let's go!
What do you think you're doing?
This isn't your show. Leave it to us!
Fall back!
Let's go!

Good morning
Message to Unit 2
Mobilization to an old people's home
But the fire was merely a bonfire
No one rescued. That's all there was
Unit 1, fall out!
Sorry about yesterday
That's all right
About the spirograph
Shall we take it to them?
Did they bring it?
Understood
Tell me when, later
Yes. Goodbye.
Got any medicine?
Stomach stuff?
I feel sick
You drank to much
As of now I'll quit drinking
Know what he did?
I hate myself
Drink!
Take it easy. Just drink
Where's my man?
Morishita?
He went shopping
The 12:11 train
Going somewhere?
HQ
You'll get it from them
About what we did yesterday
I'm sorry!
For what?
The bonfire!
I drank too much
Drink
Who cares?
Then, I'll go
It'll rain
It's forecast
No
It's forecast
The laundry...
I hope there's no fire today either.
Goodbye
She came again
Again?
Hi! Everybody here?
Give him this lunch
Leaving?
Ishii, what about that?
Invite Ishii too?
To the "Harvest"? Suppose he'll come?
A bar with hostesses is better
Nakae, what about you?
Think of your future
No thanks
Mr. Idegawa took out three kinds
Three?
Home Fire Insurance
Hello!
What are you doing?
Nothing
Watch your muscles
Don't worry
I'm the one who takes care of you
Bad son!
Why?
Look at this
Don't take it away
Who cares? Only one
I care
Why are you home now?
Because it'll rain
My umbrella
Will it rain?
Perfect
Indeed!
Leaving?
What's that?
I picked it up
From behind a cabinet
Harari Station
Hi!
It'll rain
It's forecast
Really?
Aunty
You're early
I wanted to come in the daytime
Mr Tsuda, the fire captain
No, a unit leader
Hi! I'm Momoko
Hello, I'm Tsuda
She's my niece
I'll be here for a while
You will?
Meet Mr. Taguchi
I must go
See you again
Sausage?
Vienna kind?
No
Let's go to the Harvest again
Sure. And you?
A part-time job
You live with your folks. An easy life
But, we're going to have another kid
That's three
Look
The rain
Delicious! The best sashimi
I've eaten yet
You an assistant professor?
No, I'm...
I told you. He's a laboratory assistant
Jobs are filled. Promotions come hard
Working for a college is rough
I could never afford a trip to the sea
Come anytime
I live alone. You people brighten my life
It's odd, huh?
Studying crabs?
I thought you'd become...
A stewardess?
What's that?
I wanted to be one
I never heard that
I suppose
It's odd to study them...
Crabs?
Odd?
Yes, odd
Crabs are cute
I'll get it
You're married, right?
Yes
Why?
You still pondering?
How noisy!
What's wrong?
This drawer...
Let me do it
It's strange
Dammit!
Don't shove it too hard
It's stuck
There's a knack
Something got wedged
Pull it out
It's stuck
Let me
May I?
It won't work
It's jammed
Try harder
Nothing helps
But...
Quiet!
It closed!
You did it!
I'm amazed
So am I
Something was stuck
Who did it?
The gas range was left on
Fool!
What's this?
Oh, it's... Never mind
I'm shocked!
Here it comes
I may die... I may die...
It's coming
It hurts!
I may die... I may die...
Here they are
Thank you for coming
I may die...
I really may die...
Please take him
Please!
Let's see...
How is he?
Maybe it's the sashimi
He all right?
Sure, he is
So you work with him at the lab?
Yes. I'm in the doctor's course
Doctor's course?
To be a doctor?
Not a medical doctor
Anyone we should tell?
His wife
Here on vacation?
We came to collect crabs
Crabs?
Yes, crabs
Name's?
Hideki Taguchi
No, your name
Mine?
Momoko Hibino
Mr. Ishii!
Sorry about my letter
Ishii!
Let's go
Ow!
That's right
I'll contact you
You're mean
You're mean, Ishii...
Talking in his sleep?
Ishii was...
Staring at her
What type?
Type?
Like an actress?
I wonder how to put it...
Is she skinny? Plump?
She's elegant, say, free from cares
Can you picture stuff like that?
Stuff like what?
You can't, huh?
What's up?
Nakae said he saw a woman
Didn't you?
Asleep?
He seemed awake
How odd!
Go to bed
Go to bed!
What woman did you see?
I saw a woman, too
At that tofu shop?
I greeted her
I said hello
A beauty
A man too
He was a stranger
Her colleague
Is that so?
It doesn't matter
How old are you?
Your age
Twenty-nine
Thirty next year
Why?
Get married
What about you?
I did once
But never again
Want some coffee?
I wonder if Ishii wants some, too
He said he couldn't sleep
Get me two 20W fluorescent lamps
at that discount joint
Hi!
Momoko ate the same food
But only he was poisoned
I told you, it's her physical condition
She's tough
Born strong
That's good. I envy her
I'm through with the dip
Coming!
I'll be going
To the sea?
Goodbye
Thanks for coming
Take care
How dirty!
Hey!
This is a hospital
What?
Nothing
Tomita!
Lay off!
Let's stop this
You have kids, too, right?
I won't stop
Knock it off!
Wait!
What's up?
I want to eat tofu
Madam
It's you
Were you the guy who was jogging?
I couldn't tell
Why not?
You had a helmet when we met
Your friend?
No
Where is she?
Sorry, she's out. I'm tending shop
Want tofu?
Fried tofu
And you?
Hey!
Ishii
Want tofu?
What's the matter?
I came running
You all right?
Give me some tofu
Fine-grained tofu. Five pieces!
Five pieces?
I have a large family
Give me ten pieces then
So many? What for?
Is it taboo?
No, but...
210 yen
And you?
Ten pieces
You sure?
Yes!
Where's the screwdriver?
I don't know
Kenji?
I don't know
Eat fast
I saw it yesterday. You too, huh?
Saw what?
Boiled tofu
I mean, a screwdriver
How is it?
Good
I felt like eating tofu with you guys
What about the nurse?
How is she?
Never mind
Is that so?
Have some beer. Drink a lot
No. I must behave myself
What?
Behave yourself?
What does that mean?
Won't he remarry?
Remarry?
It's here!
I don't care if a new mom comes or not
I found it
In the toilet
I recall seeing it there
and wondered why
Why was it there?
Search me
Kenji
I don't know
I wish I knew a nice woman
Then I could marry her
A nice woman, huh?
A real nice one
What are you saying?!
Want some strawberries?
I had a visitor today
Who?
Mrs. Taguchi
She doesn't look like his wife at all
Her type is too different from him
She talked about you
About me?
She called you "a woman of iron"
Awful!
She's odd
They're an odd couple
Married couples are like that
What about you?
Marriage
Not me
Why not?
What is it?
The sound of waves?
Hear it?
I sure do. Listen
Go to bed
I'm all right
You're soused
What are you doing?
Nothing
Get up early tomorrow
Tomorrow too
I know!
A gift for you
I have something for you
What is it?
Here
Keep out of this
You sure?
Give this to your woman.
She'll be happy
Keep it
Gather!
Count off!
Suppose this:
Fire: Ahead. Water: Rear right
Connect and stretch hoses!
Get aboard!
Start!
Start hosing!
Start hosing!
Transmission completed!
Where to?
To a surefire fishing spot
Surefire?
Mr. Ishii!
Hey, Ishii!
What are you doing?
Nothing special. Excuse me
Where to?
Sort of
"Sort of"?
Hey!
He's odd
What a coincidence!
We meet again
Here to fish?
Can you fish here?
I told you breakwaters are better
A surefire place
He said it's here
Let me introduce my father and son
My name's Kenji
Mine's Momoko. Nice to meet you
Another one
Another what?
Look!
Ishii!
What brings you?
Fish
Can you fish here?
I'll go over there
Funny guys!
What are you doing?
Sorry to keep you
He's Tomita
Thanks for coming
Thank you
Never mind.
When off, he has nothing to do
Is that true?
In a way
Get in
One too many
Yeah, I know
Count me out
But...
I'll run
Run?
Good saurels. We'll fry them
Again?
You object? Then you cook
I'd rather cook skipjacks
How can I eat them?
You said my skipjacks were tasty
the other day
Sure. I made the sauce
No! Because I cooked them
It's Momoko!
It was five years ago
Really?
A young man's car
He was speeding
Kenji's lonely, isn't he?
He says he got used to it, but...
Grandpa said the bath is ready
He said to bathe after dinner
Me?
Sorry
What's on his mind?
What are you doing?
Have some
You're too much. Keep away from her
I was a great fireman.
He's third-rate
However he may look, he's a nice guy
Oh, oh! I just farted
Say something
It's a stinker
In front of a lady!
I'm sorry
Good night
Why not take a bath?
Dad!
It was delicious
Hamburger
Thanks. Kenji wanted to eat one, so...
Such a long time...
Shall I cook it again?
No. But thanks
I was surprised at Ishii
He ran with the car
He so easily said he'd run
It's like him
It was so unusual
He never gripes
About the tofu too
Ishii?
He brusquely said, "Give me ten."
Tofu?
In the ambulance too, he just stood still
I thought he was odd
Sure he's an oddball!
A lush too
He is?
So am I
Still, he's a nice guy
But he's awkward
Go to bed
That's all
Working when you're off duty?
Great!
We'll all come
Sign it
Let's go away
From this town
Forget this
Don't be so weak
Let me alone
What'll you do?
She's a nice person
So what?
She's pretty
I know nothing about that woman
Then write to her
No more letters
Then...
Stay here
Hello?
Hey!
Hello? This is Tsuda, a fireman
We're off duty the day after tomorrow
Why don't we go to the sea?
What's this?!
I don't know
I'm glad the sea is calm today
Here, it's always like this
I like it rough
It's too calm
I like it here, there's nothing special
Wait!
Hello
This is for you
What is it?
Keep it
I wonder what...
The only thing I can give you
Thank you
Frequent Burglaries: Lock Doors!
They robbed the Harvest too
What happened?
Something happen?
How is it?
Average. It's you?
Sorry for the other day
That's all right
Why not come again?
Kenji enjoyed it
We have no women in our home
How long will you be here?
Well...
You're single, right?
Yes
But you have a beau, I bet
No. I have too many problems for that
Problems?
So I'm still studying in college
How about college men?
I prefer a decent man
Oh, I missed again
The sea is calm
Yeah. Days like this make me sleepy
How true!
Tsuda
What bums!
Tsuda!
Do it like that...
A guest
The garden in back...
It's Momoko
Hello
This is a gift from Tsuda's father
We seldom use this old model
No doors
It's cold here in winter
But it looks nice
The engine's good. It's serviceable
But it just stays here, waiting
When I was little I sat in a fire truck
I asked which was the siren button
The fireman was afraid I might push it
So I said I'd never push it
He said, "Are you sure?"
I said, "Yes, I'll never push it."
So he told me
Guess what I did
Push it?
Yes. I pushed it the moment he told me
Tell me, which is the siren button?
No. You'll just push it
I was glad
About what?
That model. I bet you treasured it
The letter too
It was like you
Why?
Again! Stop!
Say, "Butter"!
Get ready!
Don't do that!
Momoko
Why not go back?
Your college
Can't I stay here?
Sure, but...
I like this town
Where did you get that?
Ishii gave it to me
A fireman wouldn't be a good match
for you
What? Eh?
Never mind
It's true
What is?
As you said, I can't hear the waves
anymore
She's nice
Yes, she's a very nice person
Fate can do anything
It's good to sit here
Tsuda
Yes?
Never mind
What is it?
Nothing
"Love...
"Love is love...
"Love is everything
"It's so obvious
"That it's hard to tell
"Love...
"Love, oh, my love...
"If you really don't love me,
"I'd run away right now
"If your courage is something
powerless,
"Smash it! Destroy it right now!
"Love is everything
"You realize it only after love is lost
"Stay with me all the time. Love...
"Love, oh, my love..."
See something?
You were watching
I was?
You were watching the sea
Yes. I can see various things
In the sea?
Rice-cleaner crabs, ditch reed crabs...
Fist crabs, page crabs...
Elder crabs, hair-lock crabs...
Fan crabs, four-leaf crabs...
Sorry
Kenji, it's too loud
Turn it down
Where is it?
What?
My fire truck!
Counted them?
Sure
Dad
I don't know
Then, Kenji?
You gave it to Ishii
What?
You gave it to him
When?
When he came
Ishii?
To eat tofu
Oh, yeah, he came that day
How could I have done that?
You gave it to him!
Why?
Hello!
Don't ask me. You said to keep it
Quit this stuff!
Hello
Wait!
Family trouble?
No. What brings you at this hour?
Thank you for today
It was fun
Good night
Good night
What brings you?
You took beer to the Harvest?
Sure
Didn't you meet Itsumi then?
No, I didn't meet her
I left the beer there
Haven't you seen her?
What happened?
She's gone
What?!
Good evening
What's wrong?
Itsumi's gone
You laid her!
You laid her, huh?
You did it, right?!
Lay off! Stop!
You're wrong!
You laid her!
What are you doing?
Sorry
I saw her
When?
Very early in the morning
She took a train?
She sure did
Alone?
I doubt it
She was with a man
Iwakura! Watch out!
It's dangerous!
Watch out!
Dammit!
Closed for a while - Harvest
Sorry
You shouldn've looked ahead
But...
But, what?
They're chasing me
Chasing?
Them!
Kenji, quit bullying the weak
You're wrong
Scram!
Wait!
Here you are
Isn't he dead?
Don't worry
What happened?
He tried to grab a screwdriver and
ruptured a disk
He seems dead
He's alive. He'll sleep all day
We can't see TV
We can't play games
Let me show you something nice
Something nice?
What is it?
Something nice
What is it?
You're making us impatient
Yours?
No
Whose, then?
Dad's
He collects them. He does funny things
He's a kid
He's still a kid
Don't touch! Dad'll ge mad
It's true
He's like a child
I'm sorry for this
It'll get rusty
How about arson?
Sorry
If you do it, fine
Ishii!
I was joking
That's not it
Did I give you a fire truck?
Kenji said so
No, you didn't
I couldn't possibly have
You all want rice balls for lunch?
And tea
Beer for me
No, milk
I'll go
Go?
Shopping
I go to the sea every day
I'm sorry
I know I must go back
But I like it here
I suppose
I'm sorry to worry you
See you soon
Hello
Hello
It's strange
It's been...
30 minutes
Where did he go?
The lunch shop
What's keeping him?
Maybe he's meeting Momoko
Not yet?
I'm hungry
I'm half-starved
Your laundry?
Oh, sorry
Dry your stuff by yourself.
Don't leave it
Since when are you my mother?
I'll dry it
I'll rain
I'll rain this afternoon
Rain?
I've never been to Sri Lanka...
What's up?
Need a towel?
No, thanks
I wanted to see you
I'll leave for Tokyo tomorrow
Tomorrow?
Yes. In the afternoon
Does Ishii know?
Will you come again?
You won't?
I'm sorry
Tsuda...
This is no show. Go back to bed
Maybe I really ran away to this place
Crabs are just an excuse
A lot happended at college
So I came here
This is a nice town
But boring, huh?
The sea's lovely, too
That's all
Don't you care?
Firemen like us...
Waiting is our job
Fires may happen
We're ambulance men too
We have to wait
Good night
You'd better leave and sleep
You go home tomorrow
Look
It's cute
From Ishii?
May I keep it?
Sure
Thank you
Good night
It's terrible! Terrible!
Come! Come quick!
Dammit!
That way!
Damn you! Where are you going?
Here's a net!
How is it?
A monkey
A monkey?
It's big!
It sure is!
Take shelter! Careful! Over there!
You go
Go
Go!
It's going there!
Fall back!
Ishii! Now! Go!
You did it!
It's okay, huh?
Sure
It's the one that got in the Harvest
You all right?
You all right, Naruse?
You all right?
Bring the ambulance!
I know. Ambulance!
A monkey cage too!
Hurry!
Yesterday's Incidents:
Fires: 0 Rescues: 0
They're back
Already?
What a mess!
Why?
The patient refused to go to the hospital
So we came back
We did nothing
Construction started
Where?
Near the highway
Want some tea?
Tea with lemon
Tea only, okay?
Sure
Me too
It smells strange
What's that?
It makes the tea taste better
It can't help
It does
May I?
That one
That joint's no good
You're too choosy
The food's too lousy
Not its noodles
Its rice dishes are crap
Not really
How's the Kiraku?
Lousy
Working all day?
Construction work
Yeah. I hear their jackhammer all day
Rat-tat-tat... rat-tat-tat...
Where is it?
On the grade past the traffic light
Along the sea?
Where Momoko was
Collecting crabs
Where to?
To take a leak
Sorry
It won't flush
The toilet?
Have it fixed
The garage too
And the shower
The water leaks
It drips on your back
It's cold
What's the idea?
I wanted to drive
Where to?
Ishii!
Is this all right?
Sure!
Unit leader!
Faster!
Yes, sir!
"I'm sorry I couldn't say it

first of all

"And were it the night of the full moon,
"I'd love to embrace you tightly,
"And tell you what I really wanted...
to say to only you
"I'm sorry, really sorry that
"I couldn't say a word to you
"It was more important to me than
anything else"
"It was more important to me than
anything else"

Take a look
That woman's letter
"You write to me almost daily
"You're too persistent"
It's your fault
My fault?
Why?
She says, "Too persistent"
You write every day
You told me to
No one likes letters now
I suppose
She says, "It sickens me"
What?!
That bitch!
Damn you!
Stop it!
Master!
Nothing else?
What?
Any more terrific music?
Some joint!
You called?
Listen

Drink

It'll rain
It's forecast
No
It's forecast
The laundry...
I hope there's no fire today either.
Goodbye
She came again
Again?
Hi! Everybody here?
Give him this lunch
Leaving?
Ishii, what about that?
Invite Ishii too?
To the "Harvest"? Suppose he'll come?
A bar with hostesses is better
Nakae, what about you?
Think of your future
No thanks
Mr. Idegawa took out three kinds
Three?
Home Fire Insurance
Hello!
What are you doing?
Nothing
Watch your muscles
Don't worry
I'm the one who takes care of you
Bad son!
Why?
Look at this
Don't take it away
Who cares? Only one
I care
Why are you home now?
Because it'll rain
My umbrella
Will it rain?
Perfect
Indeed!
Leaving?
What's that?
I picked it up
From behind a cabinet
Harari Station
Hi!
It'll rain
It's forecast
Really?
Aunty
You're early
I wanted to come in the daytime
Mr Tsuda, the fire captain
No, a unit leader
Hi! I'm Momoko
Hello, I'm Tsuda
She's my niece
I'll be here for a while
You will?
Meet Mr. Taguchi
I must go
See you again
Sausage?
Vienna kind?
No
Let's go to the Harvest again
Sure. And you?
A part-time job
You live with your folks. An easy life
But, we're going to have another kid
That's three
Look
The rain
Delicious! The best sashimi
I've eaten yet
You an assistant professor?
No, I'm...
I told you. He's a laboratory assistant
Jobs are filled. Promotions come hard
Working for a college is rough
I could never afford a trip to the sea
Come anytime
I live alone. You people brighten my life
It's odd, huh?
Studying crabs?
I thought you'd become...
A stewardess?
What's that?
I wanted to be one
I never heard that
I suppose
It's odd to study them...
Crabs?
Odd?
Yes, odd
Crabs are cute
I'll get it
You're married, right?
Yes
Why?
You still pondering?
How noisy!
What's wrong?
This drawer...
Let me do it
It's strange
Dammit!
Don't shove it too hard
It's stuck
There's a knack
Something got wedged
Pull it out
It's stuck
Let me
May I?
It won't work
It's jammed
Try harder
Nothing helps
But...
Quiet!
It closed!
You did it!
I'm amazed
So am I
Something was stuck
Who did it?
The gas range was left on
Fool!
What's this?
Oh, it's... Never mind
I'm shocked!
Here it comes
I may die... I may die...
It's coming
It hurts!
I may die... I may die...
Here they are
Thank you for coming
I may die...
I really may die...
Please take him
Please!
Let's see...
How is he?
Maybe it's the sashimi
He all right?
Sure, he is
So you work with him at the lab?
Yes. I'm in the doctor's course
Doctor's course?
To be a doctor?
Not a medical doctor
Anyone we should tell?
His wife
Here on vacation?
We came to collect crabs
Crabs?
Yes, crabs
Name's?
Hideki Taguchi
No, your name
Mine?
Momoko Hibino
Mr. Ishii!
Sorry about my letter
Ishii!
Let's go
Ow!
That's right
I'll contact you
You're mean
You're mean, Ishii...
Talking in his sleep?
Ishii was...
Staring at her
What type?
Type?
Like an actress?
I wonder how to put it...
Is she skinny? Plump?
She's elegant, say, free from cares
Can you picture stuff like that?
Stuff like what?
You can't, huh?
What's up?
Nakae said he saw a woman
Didn't you?
Asleep?
He seemed awake
How odd!
Go to bed
Go to bed!
What woman did you see?
I saw a woman, too
At that tofu shop?
I greeted her
I said hello
A beauty
A man too
He was a stranger
Her colleague
Is that so?
It doesn't matter
How old are you?
Your age
Twenty-nine
Thirty next year
Why?
Get married
What about you?
I did once
But never again
Want some coffee?
I wonder if Ishii wants some, too
He said he couldn't sleep
Get me two 20W fluorescent lamps
at that discount joint
Hi!
Momoko ate the same food
But only he was poisoned
I told you, it's her physical condition
She's tough
Born strong
That's good. I envy her
I'm through with the dip
Coming!
I'll be going
To the sea?
Goodbye
Thanks for coming
Take care
How dirty!
Hey!
This is a hospital
What?
Nothing
Tomita!
Lay off!
Let's stop this
You have kids, too, right?
I won't stop
Knock it off!
Wait!
What's up?
I want to eat tofu
Madam
It's you
Were you the guy who was jogging?
I couldn't tell
Why not?
You had a helmet when we met
Your friend?
No
Where is she?
Sorry, she's out. I'm tending shop
Want tofu?
Fried tofu
And you?
Hey!
Ishii
Want tofu?
What's the matter?
I came running
You all right?
Give me some tofu
Fine-grained tofu. Five pieces!
Five pieces?
I have a large family
Give me ten pieces then
So many? What for?
Is it taboo?
No, but...
210 yen
And you?
Ten pieces
You sure?
Yes!
Where's the screwdriver?
I don't know
Kenji?
I don't know
Eat fast
I saw it yesterday. You too, huh?
Saw what?
Boiled tofu
I mean, a screwdriver
How is it?
Good
I felt like eating tofu with you guys
What about the nurse?
How is she?
Never mind
Is that so?
Have some beer. Drink a lot
No. I must behave myself
What?
Behave yourself?
What does that mean?
Won't he remarry?
Remarry?
It's here!
I don't care if a new mom comes or not
I found it
In the toilet
I recall seeing it there
and wondered why
Why was it there?
Search me
Kenji
I don't know
I wish I knew a nice woman
Then I could marry her
A nice woman, huh?
A real nice one
What are you saying?!
Want some strawberries?
I had a visitor today
Who?
Mrs. Taguchi
She doesn't look like his wife at all
Her type is too different from him
She talked about you
About me?
She called you "a woman of iron"
Awful!
She's odd
They're an odd couple
Married couples are like that
What about you?
Marriage
Not me
Why not?
What is it?
The sound of waves?
Hear it?
I sure do. Listen
Go to bed
I'm all right
You're soused
What are you doing?
Nothing
Get up early tomorrow
Tomorrow too
I know!
A gift for you
I have something for you
What is it?
Here
Keep out of this
You sure?
Give this to your woman.
She'll be happy
Keep it
Gather!
Count off!
Suppose this:
Fire: Ahead. Water: Rear right
Connect and stretch hoses!
Get aboard!
Start!
Start hosing!
Start hosing!
Transmission completed!
Where to?
To a surefire fishing spot
Surefire?
Mr. Ishii!
Hey, Ishii!
What are you doing?
Nothing special. Excuse me
Where to?
Sort of
"Sort of"?
Hey!
He's odd
What a coincidence!
We meet again
Here to fish?
Can you fish here?
I told you breakwaters are better
A surefire place
He said it's here
Let me introduce my father and son
My name's Kenji
Mine's Momoko. Nice to meet you
Another one
Another what?
Look!
Ishii!
What brings you?
Fish
Can you fish here?
I'll go over there
Funny guys!
What are you doing?
Sorry to keep you
He's Tomita
Thanks for coming
Thank you
Never mind.
When off, he has nothing to do
Is that true?
In a way
Get in
One too many
Yeah, I know
Count me out
But...
I'll run
Run?
Good saurels. We'll fry them
Again?
You object? Then you cook
I'd rather cook skipjacks
How can I eat them?
You said my skipjacks were tasty
the other day
Sure. I made the sauce
No! Because I cooked them
It's Momoko!
It was five years ago
Really?
A young man's car
He was speeding
Kenji's lonely, isn't he?
He says he got used to it, but...
Grandpa said the bath is ready
He said to bathe after dinner
Me?
Sorry
What's on his mind?
What are you doing?
Have some
You're too much. Keep away from her
I was a great fireman.
He's third-rate
However he may look, he's a nice guy
Oh, oh! I just farted
Say something
It's a stinker
In front of a lady!
I'm sorry
Good night
Why not take a bath?
Dad!
It was delicious
Hamburger
Thanks. Kenji wanted to eat one, so...
Such a long time...
Shall I cook it again?
No. But thanks
I was surprised at Ishii
He ran with the car
He so easily said he'd run
It's like him
It was so unusual
He never gripes
About the tofu too
Ishii?
He brusquely said, "Give me ten."
Tofu?
In the ambulance too, he just stood still
I thought he was odd
Sure he's an oddball!
A lush too
He is?
So am I
Still, he's a nice guy
But he's awkward
Go to bed
That's all
Working when you're off duty?
Great!
We'll all come
Sign it
Let's go away
From this town
Forget this
Don't be so weak
Let me alone
What'll you do?
She's a nice person
So what?
She's pretty
I know nothing about that woman
Then write to her
No more letters
Then...
Stay here
Hello?
Hey!
Hello? This is Tsuda, a fireman
We're off duty the day after tomorrow
Why don't we go to the sea?
What's this?!
I don't know
I'm glad the sea is calm today
Here, it's always like this
I like it rough
It's too calm
I like it here, there's nothing special
Wait!
Hello
This is for you
What is it?
Keep it
I wonder what...
The only thing I can give you
Thank you
Frequent Burglaries: Lock Doors!
They robbed the Harvest too
What happened?
Something happen?
How is it?
Average. It's you?
Sorry for the other day
That's all right
Why not come again?
Kenji enjoyed it
We have no women in our home
How long will you be here?
Well...
You're single, right?
Yes
But you have a beau, I bet
No. I have too many problems for that
Problems?
So I'm still studying in college
How about college men?
I prefer a decent man
Oh, I missed again
The sea is calm
Yeah. Days like this make me sleepy
How true!
Tsuda
What bums!
Tsuda!
Do it like that...
A guest
The garden in back...
It's Momoko
Hello
This is a gift from Tsuda's father
We seldom use this old model
No doors
It's cold here in winter
But it looks nice
The engine's good. It's serviceable
But it just stays here, waiting
When I was little I sat in a fire truck
I asked which was the siren button
The fireman was afraid I might push it
So I said I'd never push it
He said, "Are you sure?"
I said, "Yes, I'll never push it."
So he told me
Guess what I did
Push it?
Yes. I pushed it the moment he told me
Tell me, which is the siren button?
No. You'll just push it
I was glad
About what?
That model. I bet you treasured it
The letter too
It was like you
Why?
Again! Stop!
Say, "Butter"!
Get ready!
Don't do that!
Momoko
Why not go back?
Your college
Can't I stay here?
Sure, but...
I like this town
Where did you get that?
Ishii gave it to me
A fireman wouldn't be a good match
for you
What? Eh?
Never mind
It's true
What is?
As you said, I can't hear the waves
anymore
She's nice
Yes, she's a very nice person
Fate can do anything
It's good to sit here
Tsuda
Yes?
Never mind
What is it?
Nothing
"Love...
"Love is love...
"Love is everything
"It's so obvious
"That it's hard to tell
"Love...
"Love, oh, my love...
"If you really don't love me,
"I'd run away right now
"If your courage is something
powerless,
"Smash it! Destroy it right now!
"Love is everything
"You realize it only after love is lost
"Stay with me all the time. Love...
"Love, oh, my love..."
See something?
You were watching
I was?
You were watching the sea
Yes. I can see various things
In the sea?
Rice-cleaner crabs, ditch reed crabs...
Fist crabs, page crabs...
Elder crabs, hair-lock crabs...
Fan crabs, four-leaf crabs...
Sorry
Kenji, it's too loud
Turn it down
Where is it?
What?
My fire truck!
Counted them?
Sure
Dad
I don't know
Then, Kenji?
You gave it to Ishii
What?
You gave it to him
When?
When he came
Ishii?
To eat tofu
Oh, yeah, he came that day
How could I have done that?
You gave it to him!
Why?
Hello!
Don't ask me. You said to keep it
Quit this stuff!
Hello
Wait!
Family trouble?
No. What brings you at this hour?
Thank you for today
It was fun
Good night
Good night
What brings you?
You took beer to the Harvest?
Sure
Didn't you meet Itsumi then?
No, I didn't meet her
I left the beer there
Haven't you seen her?
What happened?
She's gone
What?!
Good evening
What's wrong?
Itsumi's gone
You laid her!
You laid her, huh?
You did it, right?!
Lay off! Stop!
You're wrong!
You laid her!
What are you doing?
Sorry
I saw her
When?
Very early in the morning
She took a train?
She sure did
Alone?
I doubt it
She was with a man
Iwakura! Watch out!
It's dangerous!
Watch out!
Dammit!
Closed for a while - Harvest
Sorry
You shouldn've looked ahead
But...
But, what?
They're chasing me
Chasing?
Them!
Kenji, quit bullying the weak
You're wrong
Scram!
Wait!
Here you are
Isn't he dead?
Don't worry
What happened?
He tried to grab a screwdriver and
ruptured a disk
He seems dead
He's alive. He'll sleep all day
We can't see TV
We can't play games
Let me show you something nice
Something nice?
What is it?
Something nice
What is it?
You're making us impatient
Yours?
No
Whose, then?
Dad's
He collects them. He does funny things
He's a kid
He's still a kid
Don't touch! Dad'll ge mad
It's true
He's like a child
I'm sorry for this
It'll get rusty
How about arson?
Sorry
If you do it, fine
Ishii!
I was joking
That's not it
Did I give you a fire truck?
Kenji said so
No, you didn't
I couldn't possibly have
You all want rice balls for lunch?
And tea
Beer for me
No, milk
I'll go
Go?
Shopping
I go to the sea every day
I'm sorry
I know I must go back
But I like it here
I suppose
I'm sorry to worry you
See you soon
Hello
Hello
It's strange
It's been...
30 minutes
Where did he go?
The lunch shop
What's keeping him?
Maybe he's meeting Momoko
Not yet?
I'm hungry
I'm half-starved
Your laundry?
Oh, sorry
Dry your stuff by yourself.
Don't leave it
Since when are you my mother?
I'll dry it
I'll rain
I'll rain this afternoon
Rain?
I've never been to Sri Lanka...
What's up?
Need a towel?
No, thanks
I wanted to see you
I'll leave for Tokyo tomorrow
Tomorrow?
Yes. In the afternoon
Does Ishii know?
Will you come again?
You won't?
I'm sorry
Tsuda...
This is no show. Go back to bed
Maybe I really ran away to this place
Crabs are just an excuse
A lot happended at college
So I came here
This is a nice town
But boring, huh?
The sea's lovely, too
That's all
Don't you care?
Firemen like us...
Waiting is our job
Fires may happen
We're ambulance men too
We have to wait
Good night
You'd better leave and sleep
You go home tomorrow
Look
It's cute
From Ishii?
May I keep it?
Sure
Thank you
Good night
It's terrible! Terrible!
Come! Come quick!
Dammit!
That way!
Damn you! Where are you going?
Here's a net!
How is it?
A monkey
A monkey?
It's big!
It sure is!
Take shelter! Careful! Over there!
You go
Go
Go!
It's going there!
Fall back!
Ishii! Now! Go!
You did it!
It's okay, huh?
Sure
It's the one that got in the Harvest
You all right?
You all right, Naruse?
You all right?
Bring the ambulance!
I know. Ambulance!
A monkey cage too!
Hurry!
Yesterday's Incidents:
Fires: 0 Rescues: 0
They're back
Already?
What a mess!
Why?
The patient refused to go to the hospital
So we came back
We did nothing
Construction started
Where?
Near the highway
Want some tea?
Tea with lemon
Tea only, okay?
Sure
Me too
It smells strange
What's that?
It makes the tea taste better
It can't help
It does
May I?
That one
That joint's no good
You're too choosy
The food's too lousy
Not its noodles
Its rice dishes are crap
Not really
How's the Kiraku?
Lousy
Working all day?
Construction work
Yeah. I hear their jackhammer all day
Rat-tat-tat... rat-tat-tat...
Where is it?
On the grade past the traffic light
Along the sea?
Where Momoko was
Collecting crabs
Where to?
To take a leak
Sorry
It won't flush
The toilet?
Have it fixed
The garage too
And the shower
The water leaks
It drips on your back
It's cold
What's the idea?
I wanted to drive
Where to?
Ishii!
Is this all right?
Sure!
Unit leader!
Faster!
Yes, sir!
