[ocean waves, pensive, soaring music]

♪ [woman singing in Japanese] ♪

[music gently softens
as cars pass, birds call]

[sighs]

[music rises again]

[razor scraping skin]

[cars passing, planes
overhead, voices in the distance]

[birds calling]

[nearby generator hums]

[neighbor's dog barks]

[door creaks]



You want me to help you fold it, Grandpa?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Ooh, it's so dark in here.

[waves crashing]

[tap water rushing]

[TV plays in the next room]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hello?

Ah, yes?

Uhuh.

Uhuh.

Yes.

No, my grandmother passed away.



My grandfather.

My grandfather.

That's okay. The house is paid off.

Thank you. Okay, bye bye.

[wind in the palm leaves]

[industrial truck backs up nearby]

How come you took so many?

Oh, I took from all angles, yeah?

[truck roars away]

[water pounding the leaves]

So what are you doing with your film?

Umm, I'm still waiting for
them to try and get money.

Hmm.

I see what big money.

Your latest revised, get
too many "F" words in there.

And you know the government
now is clamping down on TV

on the, what you call, filthy
words and filthy scenes.

I like the original one. It's okay.

But Grandpa, I think there only may be

one or two "F" words.

Mm, no.

I don't think there's
many "F" words in there.

Hmm.

[waves against the shore]

TV NEWSCASTER: ...at 10-15 miles per hour.

And for New Year's,
here's what we can expect:

Northeast winds 15-20...

Dad wanted to know about New Year's Day,

about watching the football game.

Hmm...

We'll bring the food over to his place.

[TV news continues]

[music, voices fly past
with each button press]

[crowd's cheers over sportscaster's voice]

[college football broadcast continues]

- Are you gonna keep that one?
- Mm.

Bra wallet?

Are you gonna keep that one?

[chuckling] Huh, Grandpa?

The bra wallet?

[waves rushing]

So Grandpa, do you wanna
read a copy of my script again?

Huh?

You gave me a copy, yeah?

Did I give it back to you?

Do you wanna read it, again?

- What?
- Do you wanna read it, again?

I told you what I was gonna add to that.

- I want you to read it again!
- Huh?

I want you to read it again
and give me more advice.

Yeah.

[water laps the wall]

[bar clunks into place]

Well, tonight I better
see my Samurai picture.

They're continuing.

What's this one about?

About a Samurai that...

he falls in love with this Princess.

But then the Princess is...

at odds with... his Lord.

Because well, at first he
wanted to kill the Lord's father

for killing his girlfriend.

So then he kind of fell in love
with the Princess over there.

[TV music plays]

So the Princess, he found
out the Princess wanted to kill

that Lord because he
killed the father, see?

And took the land away.

So in the meanwhile, his name is Kansuke,

he's gonna fall in love with the Princess.

But then the Lord saw her,
and he kind of wanted her

to become his concubine.

[singing on TV continues]

Why you call it...

"Crawling At Night?" Ah, yeah.

That's a synopsis.

That's like a description of the project.

"A grief-stricken Japanese
ice-carver mourning the death

of his only child, makes an
unexpected connection with

a struggling cabaret
singer in New York City.

Together, they are able
to face their painful pasts

"and rediscover their
passion for life and beauty."

Well, that's okay.

[gentle music]

"A small figures in the red
moves across a snowy landscape

behind a silhouette of trees.

A wave of ice crystals
sprays across the sky.

A chainsaw roars.

A young girl looks up
into the sky and twirls.

A chainsaw stops. There is a silence.

A distant voice calls, 'Mika.'

"A small red glove floats
to the surface of the water."

How would you describe the story, okay?

If you were telling someone
what this story was about, okay,

the script, how would you describe it?

[small bird calls by the window]

The daughter died, huh?

So he, what you call...
blame himself, right?

Then he wants to go away to earn some money

and forget about the incident.

He beg his wife to let him go
so he can forget the incident.

Maybe. I don't know.

[happy voices, water lapping the shore]

So Mariane was working
for the Bento shop, huh?

And she was working
part-time in the night, singing.

In the meantime, he meets
Mariane in the Bento shop.

Both of them like each
other, but Koji is bashful

and he has a wife back home.

So he doesn't...

advance himself.

Both of them are bitter with love.

But they don't want to...

fall in love.

[TV plays in the next room]

So you gotta make the plot,

you gotta give the plot more... fat.

Something to reason...

how they gonna fall in love.

[wind rushes]

So what you're gonna
have is change the title,

and... something that

come together, "Adhesion." No.

So the title gotta be something
like that because at the end,

Koji and Mariane gonna get together. See?

"Melting Ice"... Something like that.

"Melting Ice."

Koji is cold, huh? I mean...

And toward the end, he melts, huh?

[waves sweeping in]

[chimes blowing in the wind]

"The Bridge of Love."

- What?
- "The Bridge of Love."

- What is that?
- The bridge.

"The Bridge of Love."
- What is that?

The title. You say you wanted a title.

That's what you
think the title should be?

Huh?

That's what you
think the title should be?

[microwave roars]
- I don't know.

I was just suggesting.

[Kiku Television ad for
Akira Kurosawa's "To Live"]

I think I'm gonna subscribe to this.

What is that?

Consumer's Guide.

- But what do you wanna buy?
- Huh?

What do you still wanna buy?

[chuckles]

I'm not gonna buy any. Silly!

$20, I'll be expert in telling people,

"Oh, this thing is good.
That thing is bad." [laughs]

"How to clean practically anything."

They gave me this, and the
buying guide, and about cars.

I'm not gonna buy cars.

Waste of time, yeah?

Gonna throw it away.

[commercials on TV]

[TV news plays]

What's this?

Hmm, kind of cool.

Oh! I know.

A title: "You Were Meant For Me."

A title: "You Were Meant For Me."

So the picture gonna
start with the theme song,

[sings] ♪ you were meant for me

♪ and I was meant for you

♪ Nature patterned you

♪ And when she was done,
you were only a small little thing

♪ Da da da da da...

♪ Well, I can say the
angels must have sent you

♪ and they meant you just for me ♪

Maybe the title should be
"You Were Meant For Me."

[steps on the soft grass, birds calling]

[temple gong rings out in the distance]

[dulcet music]

So how did you first meet Grandma?

Huh?

How did you first meet Grandma?

Oh, went horseback riding at Kahaluu.

That's how I met her.

What did you think of
her when you first saw her?

Well, I never did
have a girlfriend before,

never even attempt to have a girlfriend.

Our first concern was to
survive, making money.

So did you fall in
love with her right away?

Huh?

- You fell in love with her?
- What?

Did you fall in love with her right away?

No. I didn't.

So why did you ask her to marry you?

Well, because her father met me that day.

He said, "Oh, you're Takesue's son."

He says, "Oh."

Her father and my father
were classmates in Japan.

So he knew my father well, and he told me,

"Oh, why don't you marry my daughter?"

Yeah, he told me that the
go-betweens, the relatives said,

"Oh, you better get married because...

with your father being
single all these years,

and your folks are struggling to get along.

So you need a wife to take care the house."

This side don't have.

Oh, there's a lot down there.

You feel some?

Just a couple more.

So you didn't really fall in love.

It was just a good matchmaking?

Yeah.

[Julie Andrews sings on TV]
♪ To sing through the night

♪ like a lark who is learning to pray

♪ I go to the hills when
my heart is lonely... ♪

So you think you made a good
choice in marrying Grandma?

- Well, she was a good wife.
She was a good housekeeper.

But she didn't have the same enjoyment.

She didn't care for movies.

She didn't care for watching TV, so.

We're on the bus.

We're traveling and seeing
the scene, a beautiful scene.

She goes and sleep, sleeping.

So I have to wake her.

I said, "Oh! Look at the beautiful..."

I don't know.

So I used to date her...

and we go to the movies, Waikiki Theatre.

Halfway in the theater, I
look at her, she's sleeping.

She's not interested in the movie.

- What was she interested in?
- Huh?

What was she interested in?

Nothing.

Don't you ever show this public and gonna

get me in problem... trouble.

I don't know why you keep
on taking me, taking me,

getting me into trouble.

I'm not gonna get you into any trouble.

I want a family history.

[man singing in Japanese]

When do you think Grandma
was most happy in her life?

I guess when...

Elsa was alive.

Where is our Takesue family from?

Yamaguchi.

Yamaguchi, Japan.

So do you think the family came here

because they were poor?

Farmers was always poor.

Grandpa had to leave the
family to come Hawai'i to work,

to send home money.

They weren't paying anybody good over here.

They were just like slaves.

Then somehow he sent for a
wife, and Grandma came down.

They got married, but Grandma
got... spilled some gasoline

on her kimono and got burned, and she died.

Her clothes caught on fire, her kimono,

and they couldn't take it off, huh?

And I was only two and a
half years old, so he couldn't

take care of my sister and both of us.

So he had to quit the laundry,
and then he came back to

the country club as a assistant cook.

And then he couldn't take
care of my sister and me.

So my sister was farmed
out to his cousin's mother.

So I was left with the bachelor
man, and he took care of me

while my father was
working till 9:00 in the night.

When I was at country club, I had about...

only about three boys to play with.

Dinnertime, the parents
would call them home

for dinner and take a bath.

And I'm the only one nobody calls.

And I felt so lonely.

[TV plays, can opener whirs]

In 1929, Wall Street crashed.

Everybody was out of a job.

So my father, them all didn't have jobs.

He couldn't pay the mortgage.

So our house was under foreclosure.

Third year I was in high school,
I was taking all my Algebra,

Science to go into the university

was required, see?

In my junior year, I found
out I could never afford

the tuition of $200 per semester.

That's $400.

So I stopped taking my required subjects,

and I finished high school.

Depression was still on.

1934, applied for office boy. No way.

Couldn't even find a service station job.

Then in November, I saw
there was gonna be a test

at the Post Office.

So I went there, and
I took my test in 1935.

The physical those days was
you gotta carry 100 pounds.

And then you gotta be 125 pounds in weight.

And you gotta be 5 feet 4.

So I didn't have, I was
only about 124, 123,

just about under 125.

Oh, so the day that we're
gonna have a test, I took a lot of

shoyu and milk, I mean
water. Shoyu, so I get thirsty.

I drink a lot of water. So I went there,

just passed it by 125.

So then, I got in.

[gentle bird calls in the distance]

You know during the war, what was it like

for the Japanese here?

Oh, we were suppressed.

No respect for us.

Other people, other races...

they think we're the cause
of it, that we don't have any...

We weren't the cause of it. It's Japan.

But still, they discriminated.

Even today, don't
think they all accept you.

You know, with Japanese
culture, what do you think

is most important about it?

Obligation.

The people that supported
you, people that were nice to you,

you just gonna forget them?

You'd be just like a animal.

[music plays on TV]

[song from TV continues playing]

[fireworks crackle, then burst]

Turn the light, and you better run away.

Okay, go!

[screams]

[firecrackers pop
wildly in metal trash can]

Get away! Get away from there!

Get away from there!
[popping echoes in the can]

Oh, now I gotta clean the place up.

What happened to my matches?

[fireworks continue bursting, soaring]

- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year.

I'm gonna sleep.

[TV plays as fireworks continue]

['50s style music with a Latin beat]

"The sexy teasing sounds
of the '50s music drifted in."

Koji and Mariane dance together.

At first, they move cautiously
across the dance floor,

but their dance become
intimate and seductive.

"They kiss, hoping they will become lovers."

You were a good dancer, right?

Not bad.

I remember. You were good.

I used to enjoy it because
I took my lessons seriously;

I enjoyed it.

What was your favorite dance?

I liked the Waltz... and Latin, Rhumba.

What about the Cha Cha?

Oh yeah, I loved that.

I knew the Rhumba, Tango, Cha Cha, Samba.

You know, like "Dancing With
the Stars," you seen that program?

You don't do that on a ballroom floor.

That's only a exhibition dance, you know?

You've got no room to do that.

If everybody did that, you'd
be banging and banging

and banging everybody.

Went to New York on a
convention, all of us boys.

We didn't bring our wives

because they don't pay for our wives.

So we went to New York, and we try to see

the Rockettes, musical, Broadway show.

And then went to this nightclub,

famous nightclub. I forgot.

So I went in there.

They start playing
music, and all of us boys,

nobody to dance with.

Oh, the beautiful music,
nightclub, and only

a few people on the dance floor.

So I wished Grandma was here.

Yeah, that was the only time I says,

"Oh, I wish I could dance on this floor."

So you wished Grandma was there?

Yeah. [Hiccups]

Or anybody who could
dance that way, you know?

After Elsa died, then Grandma
didn't wanna go dancing, huh.

Yeah. So we stopped dancing.

[jazz music with trumpet in the lead]

That's the Foxtrot.

How did you first meet Grandma?

My cousin was the...
- Oh, we went horseback riding.

So went up the mountain
trail and came down.

That's how I met her.

And he just followed wherever
my horse went, you know.

And I used to think,
"Oooh, this guy," you know?

Just followed me.

Yeah, wherever the horse
went, he came up right

almost directly back of my horse.

So Grandpa was what your
first impression of Grandma?

- Nooo!
- [Laughs]

- No, really.
- He used to call me.

Right after he met me, every
single night he used to call me.

And then it got to a point
that ooh, I used to think,

"Oh, what a guy." He just irritated me.

And then he insisted for months and months

trying to take me out.
So I called my brother.

My brother and him, they
were classmates, huh?

We went to school at
Central Junior High School,

- so I knew the brother.
- Central Junior, out in town.

So I told my brother, I said, "You
know this guy Tom Takesue?"

I say, "He calls me every night," I said.

"What a nuisance, you know?"

I said, "What kind of guy
was he while you folks

were classmates and all that?"

He said, "He was a real nice
guy, but within those years"

he may have changed. I don't know.

But as far as I know," he
says, "he was a real nice guy."

And that's, when he say,
and, "He keeps on calling

and calling, calling."

So when he called you,
what did he talk about?

The first thing was, you took me to...

Oh, I asked for a date.

But he was rather shy, though, you know?

And then another thing he
asked me, because I hardly talked

to him, and I don't know, I
wasn't interested in him at all.

And so he says, you asked
me, "Do you love me?"

[laughs]
- You said... You did!

- Naahhhh!
- Tom!

And you said, "If I marry a
woman, I want to make sure

that who loves me."

Don't you know, driving
me back down the Paali.

So then I told my brother again.

I said, "That guy, I don't know."

They all used to say
that boys from Honolulu

were bums, you know. We used to hear that.

[waves crashing]

What did you think of the screenplay?

Very good.

I didn't know you can
write that well. [Laughs]

Not that time. [Chuckles]

It's terrific, huh, after
all. [Laughing] After all.

I didn't know you were interested!

I'm so happy!

Why I'm not?

I didn't know you were interested in it.

I'm so flattered.

No. Yeah, so I was
reading that this morning.

The more I read it, continued
reading, it was so interesting.

So I said, "Oh, how interesting.

I didn't know Kimi wrote all this thing."

And you used the right
Japanese words in the right place

and all that.

So I said "Oh boy, Kimi's okay." Yeah.

[laughing] I was proud
of you after reading that.

But Grandpa, you know,
you let Grandpa read, too.

[newscast on cigarette tax plays on TV]

"The Way You Look Tonight."
- Uhuh.

Will be a good song to be at the ending.

You think so?

Yeah, cause Koji gonna say:

[Singing] ♪ Someday, when I'm awfully low.

He's gonna sing to maybe
karaoke the last time to her.

[sings] ♪ When I'm awfully low,

♪ I will feel a glow

♪ just thinking of you

♪ and the way you look tonight

♪ Never, never, never
change Keep this worth, no,

♪ something smile for a da da da da da

♪ and the way you look tonight ♪

And the chorus.

I forget all the words to
that, but it's a good song

to tell that... "Stay, the
way you look tonight."

- You know? You know?
- That's a good idea.

I think you need me for
[laughs] Associate Director.

You see, the fluid goes up to the brains.

Then it makes her kind of off the beam.

Yeah, yeah. So they're gonna find out...

and also whether she had a stroke or not.

And also, the next day
she's going to a liver.

They're gonna take a liver scan.

Yeah, so next week she has two to go.

[chorus of birds]

You're gonna have to
stay nice and healthy so that

you get to see the movie, okay?

Because it's gonna take
me a little while to make it.

And I want you to be there in
the theater to watch it, okay?

Thinking about you and say, "Oh, that's"

"my granddaughter," you know?

And I want you to come to the screening.

And then I'll say, "Oh, and I'd
like to thank my grandparents"

who read the script in the early stages

and gave me some feedback.

"And I'd like them to stand
up and to thank them." Okay?

Okay!

So you have to stay nice and
healthy so that you can come

to the screening, okay?

Yeah, but you're not certain
about when though, huh?

Well, it's gonna take me a little while.

So it takes, you know, a couple years.

You gotta hang in there.

Oh, I hope I live that long, though.

Okay? So that will give you
some incentive, okay, Grandma?

Okay, I'll live for that.

[voices harmonizing, singing quietly]

[bell rings, rain falls softly]

[thunder rolls]

[Buddhist chanting]

[chanting continues as
wheel loader roars and clanks]

[chanting continues, fades
out softly to reveal birdsong]

[wind lightly rustles trees]

[TV plays]

See look, look. "Memories Are Far."

They're gonna have the show
on the 5th, a short story, yeah?

Yeah, I gotta get a
companion or a caregiver.

I'm not gonna end up
like my father, all alone.

Well, what kind of
companion would you want?

A woman who can take
care of me, cook for me,

keep me company, likes the same thing.

If I get married, then
maybe kind of problem, huh?

If I die they're gonna have a
big problem for my estate, huh?

Just like my friend, Chunky.

He married a Japan girl
from on the golf course,

playing golf course.

Two years time, she took
everything away from him.

I'm gonna try to be away
most of the time, traveling.

Traveling all over.

Would you want me to come along with you?

I'm going with a companion. I told you.

So you wouldn't wanna go with me?

No, I wanna go with a companion.

You better start working.

Don't think about you gonna...

You better start working. Get a steady job.

Can't be just loafing around.

So where do you think
you're gonna meet this person?

What?

Where do you think
you'll meet this person?

I have to clean up this place.

I have no time to go
out and meet people yet.

I got to settle a lot of this
paperwork and get settled

and then... go out meeting people.

There's a lot of these tours.

They're single people traveling,
and most of them are women.

But I cannot pick up any women.

I have to see what kind of woman it is.

I don't want to be taken.

So when everything is done,
I'm gonna have a good time.

Spend all my money.

I gave my children all
the education they want.

I gave my granddaughters,
helped my granddaughters.

So it's my time to...

Yep, so after I clean
this place up, I have to

figure out what I'm gonna do.

[bottles clanging]

[papers rustling]

[thunder]

Oh, this is from San
Francisco Public Library.

[ripping paper]

How did Grandma get that?

I think it was for Elsa, I think.

[pensive music]

Oh, Elsa!

Grandpa?

How old was Elsa when she died?

33.

And how did she die?

Accident.

Grandpa, do you think
because Auntie Elsa died, right?

- What?
- Your daughter died.

Yeah.

So do you feel you could relate?

Huh?

Could you relate to the story,
since Koji's daughter died?

No. It doesn't relate.

I know, but when you were
reading it, did you feel like

you could understand some of
his pain after his daughter died?

Well, I try to forget
it. I couldn't help it.

What can I do after she died?

You grieve for a while, but
then after, you have to forget.

You have to keep on
going on with your life.

You cannot be grieving
all your life because of that.

[plastic bags rustling, garbage
truck passes down the street]

Oh, the garbage man came already.

[garbage truck beeps, driving in reverse]

[clock ticking]

[slow music]

Have you been missing Grandma?

Of course.

We could have gone more
places and did more things,

but she didn't want to
do a lot of things. Yeah.

I guess maybe internally
she wasn't feeling good, huh?

With her liver problem.

So the title is...

"Melting Bitterness"
or something like that.

And the song, you can
play: "Autumn Leaves."

"Autumn Leaves." You know the song?

Nat King Cole sings that.

Beautiful song.

[instrumental version of "Autumn
Leaves" with sax in the lead]

But then, I don't know
about whatever permission

you gotta get from the songwriter.

It's expensive.

- Grandpa?
- Huh?

- Those songs are expensive.
- What?

- Expensive.
- Expensive?

Why, you cannot use the songs?

They're expensive.

If you use the song without
their knowledge, what?

You get sued.

Well, you can make a compromise.

The revenue, get certain
percent of the revenue.

Because you don't know
whether it's gonna be

successful or not, the picture.

- You wanna be my manager?
- Huh?

You wanna be my manager?

So Grandpa do you have any more
advice for me on my screenplay?

But how is it gonna end?

Huh?

You didn't like the ending?

Wanted to see a happy ending.

I told you about Koji
has to go back to Japan

because the wife was sick.

Well, that's not in the script, though.

That's not in the script.

So what, you have your
own ending for the film?

Yeah, so you gotta
change the script little bit.

So while Koji's back in Japan
taking care the wife who's sick,

and Mariane is taking care of the old lady.

After a couple of years, one, two years...

Mariane, the lady dies.

So the guy gonna give
her $50,000 going away gift,

severance pay.

So she figure with the $50,000,
she's gonna open a trailer,

you know, like a Bento truck.

And when she has just started,
Koji came back from Japan

because the wife died. [Coughs]

And he went back to his friend's
place where they make Bento.

And the friend say, "Oh,
she just started a Bento shop.

She just opened up."

So Koji going over there and help her.

Things went pretty good, you know.

They start selling musubi
and all that, Spam musubi.

And maybe Spam company can give you a grant

for putting "Spam musubi"
on the trailer. [Laughs]

So they're gonna get
married right in the park

where their lunch wagon is.

The reverend pronounce them man and wife.

So he says, "Well, Koji, you
kiss your bride," you know.

[chuckling] But he doesn't know how.

So Mariane grabs him
and starts kissing him.

And shows his eyes go like
that, and he almost faints.

So they both fall on the
ground, and Mariane is on him,

kissing him.

And pretty soon he falls
down, and he grabs her.

And Mariane is on him, kissing him.

And then film ends with that.

So it's gonna be funny ending, see?

Huh?

So how'd you come up with this ending?

Huh?

How'd you come up with this ending?

I wish I took up short stories.

Are you gonna miss me when I go tomorrow?

Mmm.

You better start working though, Kimi.

Because things are getting worse and worse.

Don't depend on the film.

Where you gonna get the financing?

Well, that's what's tricky, you know.

I have the producers.

They're supposed to get the money,

but they haven't raised the money yet.

So all that time you're gonna be waiting,

you're wasting your life.

You better go get a job or something.

Well, what do you
think about the fact that...

Huh?

It took me four years
to develop the project

and write the script and everything.

Won't it be a waste if I just give up?

Well, in the meantime
you're waiting for financing,

you're wasting your life.

- Grandpa, I love you.
- Hmm?

Okay...

- Okay!
- I love you!
