Tremble All You Want (2017) - full transcript

Virgin twenty-something girl is neat, talented and professional, although almost too much of all these. She is an office lady who still romanticizes a school-mate, but has the opportunity ...

I'm such a wimp!

I think all kinds of things,
but I can't say any of them.

You're really cool.
Just like a figurine.

Can I touch your hair, too?

So smooth...

I always wanted to touch
your blonde hair.

A girl like me shouldn't want...

...things she knows she can't
have.

Living on pure instinct is
barbaric.
I just can't submit to that.

If I married 'One' out of
instinct,
I'd never be happy.

From my wedding day I'd be like
a guard
checking to see that he still
loved me.



How could you be happy like
that?

With 'Two' I could just pretend
it was happening to someone
else.

I'd come out of the chapel in my
dress,
go running down some hill...

...leave Two behind me
and play in the waves...

...gasping for breath
in my low-cut dress...

...and enjoy being a bride.

But still...

...I love One.

TREMBLE ALL YOU WANT

If you would...

It's wrong.

Here.

You're right!

One plus one equals one. Whoops!



Glad that's not for the project.
We'd be out by millions.

That wouldn't look good.

Dealing in hundreds of millions
makes me nervous.

I only slept three hours last
night.

That's no good.

Broke it.

Thanks for the pencil.

He didn't ask. He just took it!

Don't get so mad, Yoshika.

I'm not mad. I'm scornful.

Accounting gets no respect.

It doesn't.

You're against power stones?

I didn't say anything.

You're laughing at me
over my love charms.

Mr 'Tacky-sushi' in Sales?

'Takasugi'!

I thought you were kidding.

Love at the office!
A boyfriend from work...

That's incredible.

It's normal.

I want to keep love and work
separate.

You're so serious.

I can't imagine loving the same
guy
since Grade 8.

You don't know Ichi.

'Ichi' means 'one', but who
cares
if he's 'one'or 'two'?

'Two'?

Who?

Lights out.

Cut it out!

You don't like me saying you're
cute
as a puppy with your hair mussed
up?

Hey, hey! Come on, Ichi!

Your hair's all wet!
I'll wipe it for you.

The Natural Born Prince

Why 'prince'?

He was born a prince.

Weird hair.

Ichi! Come play soccer!

Eto

You realize that
I'm watching you blink?

You blink while you massage.
Is that a tic?

You noticed that? Wow!

Side-sight.

'Side-sight'?

Lateral vision.

I made it up.

That's how I watched Ichi
back in middle school.

Everyone wanted a piece of him.
Like he was a cat or something.

But he was a prince, not a cat.

I kept a respectful distance.

The one who understands
and the one who is understood.

Yes.

And I was the only one who...

Ow ow ow ow ow!

Understanding someone brings
tension.

It sure does!

I was always afraid someone
would see
that the prince in my comic...

...was modeled on Ichi,
and think I had no shame.

But that never happened.
Maybe my comic wasn't very good.

Don't be so modest.

No, it wasn't that great.

Self-satisfaction?

Looking back, maybe I was drunk
on myself.

Proud that I wasn't like that
bunch
who were all milling around
Ichi.

I'm the only one who can free
him
from everyone's gaze.

Hence your evolution.

Yes, evolution!

The need to see him
without being seen myself...

...made me evolve.

I built up my eye muscles.
Try it.

'Side-sight'.
So you see beside yourself.

That's hard.

Animals hide that they're there.

You'll catch more fish.

Just like this, now.

I'm looking at your float.

Look, look...

People usually talk about
themselves
like this on a social network.

I couldn't.

I'm not brave enough to post
things
about someone as useless as me.

Or maybe I'd just be too
embarrassed.

Extinct Animals

The Dodo

Ammonites

Yes?

Delivery for Yoshika Eto
from Yoshika Eto.

It's heavy. Shall I put it
inside?

Leave it there, thanks.

Thank you.

I'm still sleepy.
I'm a slave to Wikipedia.

Looking at extinct animals
again?

You wouldn't believe how many
species
have been lost because of us.

I feel so guilty I could die!

My sleep was unsound.

Just kidding. I slept like a
log.

I'm the type that could be
driven extinct myself.

Anyway, it arrived.

My ammonite fossil.

The museum clear-out one?

Yes. I wish I'd seen it
where they found it, though.

The weight changes depending on
the date and the location.

The weight has weight.

But it must have been expensive.

Not really.

The ones with the weird twists
are.

The 'nipponites'. They're way
beyond
the means of an office clerk.

Of course!

Don't be silly!

What does this say?

One?

Two.

It's him.

'Two'?

Oh, him.

Let's give him hell
at the office party tomorrow.

I can't wait.

Go for it.

You're going, right?

No, it's Friday.
Tamori Club is on TV.

Takahashi in Planning has won
16 towels on 'Mondegreen Hour'.

He's amazing.

Just record it.

I do.

Then you can come.

You'll be fine alone.

I understand. I was the same.

How?

I don't mean that.

You laugh at me
for giving myself to love.

I don't.

I have Ichi.

In my mind I summon him.
I'm as big a fool as you.

I'll hit on Takasugi...

You will?

OK, I'll come.

Yay!

I want to see Tackysushi fall.

Don't say that in front of him!

What's his name?

'Takasugi'!

You don't even try to remember
names.

You make up weird nicknames.

I can't look at the Section
Manager
since you started calling him
'Freddie'.

It's that look on his face
and those suspenders.

Soon he'll all be in white.

Stop it!

Who was your neighbor?

Ocarina?

That one's pretty easy.
She plays the ocarina.

What's her name?

Dunno.

The big city, huh?

Yeah.

Ms Tsukishima, are the estimates
done?

Well? You got 'em?

Yes, they're ready.

We're on different floors, so
new staff
in Sales and Accounts don't talk
much.

So thanks to Sales Section 1
for arranging this.

Let's see...

The girls in Accounts
are all very precise.

To be honest, they'd make great
wives.

Shut up make the damn toast!

We should all learn from
the women in Accounts.

Anyway, let's drink.

Cheers!

Hi, Takasugi!

Ms Tsukishima, isn't it?

Hello. Sit down and let's talk.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

You were in the Cheerleading
Club
at your university?

You knew that?

You have that air about you.
Not just some Arts guy.

Should you start a conversation
by dissing Arts?

You, me, her...
we all took Arts, right?

Sorry.

No, I should apologize.

I was in the Debating Club, too.
I can't help myself.

The problems of being smart.

You've got fat!

Yuck!

That's some real BMI there!

Fuck!

Something wrong?

Phone call.

The toilet's inside.

'The toilet's inside'!
That's funny.

Uh, Ms Eto...

...do you know who I am?

'Two'.

You wrote 'two' upside down.

'Two upside down' like that.
That's funny! You're cute.

No signal...

Hey hey hey!

Sorry, sorry.

Just a minute...sorry.

I'll send you the photo.
Would you tell me your Line ID?

'QR'...

Pic from tonight.

'Kiri'

'Two'

I will not forget things.

Is that from Ms Midorikawa?

She'll check when I reach 100.

65...

Like 'The Simpsons'!

66...

Who's that? A foreigner?

If you change one, she won't
notice.

I will forget

'The Simpsons' is an anime.

Bart's always writing lines
in the opening.

Every time's different.

The first time I ever spoke to
him.

You jumped right in.

I wished I hadn't.
I'd devolved to living by
instinct.

I see.

It was a shock.

Every time I tell Ichimiya
to write a hundred lines...

...he always fights back with
one
that says the exact opposite.

Here.

'I will be late.'

All year long!

That kid!

A year later he'd remembered
what I told him.

I was so happy!

That's the One
I summon in my mind.

That kid!

Ms Midorikawa, that teasing
isn't aimed at you.

That sentence is proof of
his spiritual connection with
me.

And so...

...don't take credit for it.

Saturday afternoon, right?
'Beautiful Saturday.'

That's right.

I figured you'd be here,
and you were.

Yep.

Would you like to go out with
me?
You choose the place.

I got lost.

Suit and tie?

I came from work.
Sorry to out-dress you.

Here?

Yeah.

So tell me about yourself.

Tell me what kind of person
you are.

Born in October in snow country,
blood type B, only child, no
boyfriend.

Likes extinct animals.

So much that sometimes I sit up
all night on Wikipedia.

Some ammonites in the Cretaceous
Period
evolved very weird shapes...

You're single?

Yeah, right now.

Yeah? Oh.

What?

Sports?

You do any?

No matter how busy I am,
I always do exercises before
bed.

With work, your body is your
capital.

Watch.

Just this gives a great
upper body workout.

It really works.

And for the lower body...

...side jumps.

It's hard, but if you work at
it,
it's good for fast-twitch
response.

You're gazing at me.
That's fantastic!

Huh?

Anyway...

...anyway, sorry for suddenly
asking you out.

Why?

What's with this place, anyway?

What? You said choose the place,
so I chose this club.

You come here?

First time.

I always wanted to,
but I wasn't comfortable coming
alone.

Keep it down, will you!

I don't fit in here.

Let's continue this outside.

Outside! Outside!

Sorry! Excuse me.

Careful!

Hey!

The station's this way.

Hey!

Just once, OK?

Just once.

I don't know...

Just once.

We're going home, right?

Aw, man! I'm such a klutz!

It was all that jumping around
on the dance floor.

It's the cheap booze in those
places!

So you're blaming it on me?

Here.

Thanks.

Shit! All my plans wrecked!

No! I won't let this happen!

I bet my whole life on this!

Let's go.

Your breast...

You had a red post-it on the
left one.

When?

Six months ago.

When we were really busy
before the shareholders meeting.

It stuck to you when you brought
some stuff back to our section.

When I saw that...

...it made an impression on me.

I got them to have that party
last night...

...as a low-pressure way
to get to know you.

I got you to come out tonight...

...so I could say something.

Ms Eto...

...be my girlfriend.

Once! Just this once!

OK!

Chaos.

I'll wait for an answer.

Can you see it in me?
A man said he loves me!

I see it! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Here you are!

Here I am!

My first confession of love!

Sudden, and real!

Reality, right in the middle
of a sleazy hotel district!

What looks ugly at first
might just be beautiful.

That's a beautiful Sunday!

What did he say?

'I like you?'

Huh?

He didn't say that.

No, he didn't. That's not fair.

Shouldn't he say that?

First he wants a girlfriend.

The voice of basic instinct.
How barbaric!

I'd say it, if the time came.
I'd come straight out with it.

Look here.

Look at me.

Getting that out of One...

...was a reward for me
developing side-sight.

You've all worked very hard
today.

Look here.

Look at me.

I'm going to die!

Evacuate!

Get everyone out!

No! No!

Don't die!

Don't die!

Don't die!

Die!

Die! Die! Die!

Don't die!

Don't die!

Don't die!

Don't die!

I know.

I can't die yet.

I have to do what I want to do
as fast as I can.

I've learned that people die!

People do die, don't they.

Yes!

So I don't want to summon
One in gym clothes.

I want to see him as he is now
and then stride forward into
death.

Like the 47 Samurai!

'Ah, what joy! No bitter regret
to bind me, I cast this body
aside.

'No cloud blocks the moonlight
of this fleeting world.'

'Ah, what joy!'

'No bitter regret to bind me,
I cast this body aside.

'No cloud blocks the moonlight.'

'Ah, what joy!'

Right!

Right!

Right!

Right!

Right!

Oka, Rina

My name rules my life.

A name is very important.

Rena Murasakidani!
She fled abroad.

'Rena'...

Yay! Gotcha!

Idiot!

You're mine.

Now I am Rena Murasakidani!

I'm going to use a false name
and organize a class reunion.

Then I can 'bump into' One.

You engineer an encounter.

Yes.

Like Two did to get me out
drinking.

I've got to give him credit
for that idea.

I could have used a friend like
he did,
but I don't have friends like
that.

I don't have any friends at all.

That's just not true.

When you start a fire, you put
it out,
and apologize with sword on
stomach.

There's no time to buy new
bedding.
You have to change your whole
life.

It's like I've already died
once.

I've been in love for half my
life.
It's time to get busy.

You're really cute, you know.

O God, please let me see One
before I die, even if it's only
once.

Praying to God!

Go, girl!

'I've invited everyone...

'...but Ichi hasn't answered.

'Try his parents' place.'

Whoa, Abe!

I hate making phone calls!

God! Help me!

It's strange to hear 'God'
coming from you.

I guess it's like Akira says.
Women need gods.

'Morning.

'Morning. Who's 'Akira'?

Takasugi.

You took Tackysushi down?
I wish I'd seen that!

Hey! Could you stop
calling him that now?

It's cute how he likes to show
off.
Give him a break.

'Stand by your man,' huh?
You're in love!

You should try it.

Two was asking about you
after you left Friday night.

Stuff like where you'd like to
go.

What you do all the time
is a mystery to me.

I told him he should just ask
you.

Yeah, OK.

Or should I stay out of it
and tell him not to call you?

No.

He asked me to go steady.

What?!

That fast?

You're kidding!

I almost dropped dead in
surprise.

Love's a gamble you bet your
life on.

So did you say yes?

I've got One.

Two wants me to go fishing
in Okutama on Christmas.

What an idiot! In this cold?

There's a waterfall there
that's a famous power spot!

A sacred rock!

Akira showed me...

...a blog by a guy who follows a
guy
who wrote a book about Steven
Jobs.

He went there in secret. For
sure.

Wait, who did?

You were asking God for
something.
Go there!

That was just...

You're trembling, Ms Eto.

Here.

You're not cold?

I'm used to it.

I need to go somewhere.

Toilet?

Behind that rock's fine.

Hey, careful!

Um...

...could I get an answer
to my question?

I'm not sure yet.

It's the one who falls who
loses.

Play the victim!

Play the victim!

Yeah, right! Play the victim,
you pest!

Wonderful!

It's so wonderful!

It's wonderful!

Hello? My name is Murasakidani.
I was in school with your son...

Tokyo?!

He's living in Tokyo? Since
when?

Will he go home at New Year's?

Yes, the class reunion
on December 30th.

Mr Ichimiya has to be there.

God, uh, 'Mrs Ichimiya',
tell him to come!

Please! And thank you!

He's in Tokyo!

O God! One's in Tokyo!

That took a while. Are you OK?

No tissue paper?

I was going to go and look,
but I didn't want to embarrass
you.

The air in Tokyo is so nice.
I never knew that before!

So that's how it is!

Merry Christmas.

I didn't get you one.

Don't worry about it.

Something with meaning for us.

Red post-its.

Thank you.

I'll use them for special
occasions.

Tokyo's so beautiful!

Let's go eat.

I'm fine. I'm full.

Stomach and heart?

It's freezing!

Thanks!

You're working hard.

Yes.

Is your heater off?

I threw it out.

Happy New Year.

'Damn!

'I've got Spanish flu.
Have a good night.

'Rena Murasakidani.'

It's been years!

And you're still crazy, Abe.

You live alone in Ariake,
Kimura?

That's all high-rise condos.
Must be nice to be in IT.

It's not all high-rises,
but I live in one.

Wow! You live in a high-rise?

It's been ages!

Sorry!

Kaoru!

I thought she was you. Who is
she?

You're kidding!

Ichi!

You're late, Ichi!

Murasakidani had a hell of a
time
finding you.

She's got Spanish flu. Yuck!

Ichi! Come sit over here.

Here we are.

You'll only get one chance.

You're right. Thank you!

I'm working in Tokyo right now.
Whoever's in Tokyo, raise your
hands.

Me.

Oh yeah?

Who else?

Ichi? You work in Tokyo?

Why didn't you say so?
We could get together!

Me, too!

Tokorozawa?

It's almost Tokyo!

It's miles away!

Let's all talk over here.

OK?

The Tokyo bunch.

I didn't know you were in Tokyo.

Yeah! Why didn't you say?

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

I'll send this around.
Tell me your Line IDs.

Let's start a group.

I know Kimura's.

Shall we get together
when we get back to Tokyo?

Sure, let's do that.

If you like, you could all come
to my place.

In the high-rise?

Great!

You're invited.

It's settled.

I'll come if I can.

We need everyone.

Yeah!

It's just that
I've gotten busy lately.

But it's no fun without you.

Come on!

Don't be a drag!

Kimura...

...can I say when I'm free?

Sorry! Sorry!

I think I'm happy.

One says...

Oh, you went?

One's perfect, you know.
I just love everything he does.

Even his being over-sensitive.
Are you listening?

Yoshika! Your dad's here!

I just love One.

I love One!

I love One!

I love One!

I love One!

Do you need help?

I love One!

I love One!

'Happy New Year!
Let's make it a happy one.

'P.S. Fishing at Christmas
was fun, wasn't it.

'Could I ask you to go again?'

I want to marry the one I love.

Isn't it a bit early
to be talking about marriage?

I haven't mentioned that to
Akira.

You haven't?

So that's how it is?

Well, as a matter of fact...

Don't tell anyone.

I've never had a boyfriend
in my life.

So starting up with one
at my age...

...that girlfriend/boyfriend
stuff...

...it scares me somehow.

I think Two would be
the perfect guy to start with.

Huh?

I'm sure he wouldn't hurt you.

Lights out.

Kurumi...

If we end up doing it,
let me ask you for advice.

I don't want him to know
I've never done it.

Advice?

Me?

You have nice long eyelashes.

Can I touch them?

So it's love?

You look great. You're back-lit.

Sublime.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank...

I thought it was you!
It's great running into you like
this.

I saw you from my car.

I'll give you a ride.
I bought you a racket. Come on!

A what?

This way.

Not today!

Sorry.

Oh, I get it. Girls' night out?

I see.

People do that after New Year's.

OK.

My fault. I'm sorry
I haven't called yet this year.

You were worried.

It's OK. I'll be there,
waiting for you.

Thanks. 'Bye.

What do you want?

I just wanted to see you off.
I'll be on my way now.

It's Ichimiya.

Who's he? Your friend's brother?

Right! So I'll see you
next weekend, right?

What floor?

00:59:22,091 --> 00:59:23,659
There isn't one.

00:59:29,098 --> 00:59:34,804
45th Floor, huh?
That's way up there.

I'm impressed.

Didn't I tell you?

A friend from school lives here.
His wife's from Lebanon.

No, that's George Clooney.

Where was it?

Norwegian! Yeah, that's right.

It's high latitude in North
Europe.
The thin air's good for you.

Up in the penthouse.

Too much for me.
Your lips get all dried out.

Cold, isn't it.

Yeah, it sure is!

Here, take this.

It's all used up!

Goodbye.

Yeah, I'm going up.

Salmon!

You like that?

Yeah!

Thanks.

And shake, too.

Doesn't shake mean 'salmon'?

I don't know.

Whatever.

Yuzukosho paste.

I saw some by the sink.

Maybe shake is male
and 'salmon' is female.

I'm fine.

Yeah?

I don't know.
Maybe shake is...

Just forget it!

I'll clean up later.

I don't mind.

Don't do that.

Come and talk.

It's OK. I can hear everything.

It bothers me.

We'll all do it later.

See? Leave it, will you?

Sorry.

So?

We were talking about salmon.

No, we weren't!

Hey!

It's still January...

Is she drunk? She should lie
down.

What are you drawing?

Hey, that's cute!

A character.

Have it.

No, thanks.

You should sleep, maybe.

Kimura and Kaoru went to the
store
and haven't come back.

Shall we sleep?

Ichi! Carry me to bed.

Now.

Where are you going?

Water.

I had hair like that in school.

'The Natural Born Prince.'
It's you, in middle school.

That's me?

You were...

...like a prince.

How?

You've got a weird take on it.
I was bullied all the way
through.

Bullied?

No, you weren't.

Everyone liked you so much
they all wanted to touch you...

No. I didn't want it.
That makes it bullying.

I hated it.

That's why I didn't want to go
to that reunion.

I just thought you weren't
comfortable
being looked at...

...and centered out.

You are weird.

You talk as though you knew me.

Um...

...if you don't remember
'The Natural Born Prince'...

...then you probably don't
remember
talking to me at Field Day.

I remember that.
At the closing ceremony.

'Look at me,' you said.

Suddenly it bothered me
that you weren't looking at me.

I don't know why. Sorry.

You wanted someone to look at
you?

No.

Just you.

You were the only one
who never looked at me.

It's weird to remember.

Young guys are idiots.

Talk about something, will you?

Talk about something? Like what?

How about an extinct bird,
the dodo?

Great.

It's love.

Ancient animals, extinct
animals.
I love them.

Why?

I don't know.

It's just fascinating to imagine
twisted creatures roaming the
earth.

'Twisted', huh?

Maybe that's why I feel
such a good fit with them.

Ammonites coiled up on
themselves
like scallop frills to survive.

That encourages me.

The nipponites?

They're held up as an example
of evolution causing
extinction...

...but the climate change theory
is more widely accepted.

You know that!

I love this stuff.

I have books.

I bought an ammonite fossil.

I couldn't afford a nipponite,
though.

These days I'm into
the giant Japanese elk.

The antlers were to find mates
and it died out when they got
too big?

Gotta love that one.

Failures at life. You want to
cry.

It's amazing talking to you.
It's like I'm talking to myself.

Yeah.

In school I wanted to be friends
with you.

Yeah.

Nipponites twisted like scallop
frills...
that's something, honey.

Ichi...

Are you the kind of guy
who calls girls 'honey'?

Sorry.

What's your name?

Call me by my name.

This damn thing's busted!

The name of that man...

...I don't know.

This person's name, too...

...I don't know it.

After all...

...I've never talked...

...to this person.

May I take your glass?

Because she looks like a little
doll...

...I've wanted to talk to her.

Because her hair is so
beautiful...

...I've wanted to touch it.

I could never do that.

I'd be a nuisance.

She'd look at me...

...with eyes filled with hate,
wouldn't she?

Should I go extinct?

Should I go extinct?

I don't know his name, either.

An interesting guy
anyone would want to talk to.

But I don't have the guts.

The old man who fishes there
from morning till night...

I'd love to talk to him
but I never have.

I've never gotten any closer to
him
than this.

This is the distance
that separates me from the
world.

We're invisible to one another.

It's like...

...no one can see me.

Should I go extinct?

Hey ammonite...

...tell me how...

...to survive.

How many times
do you have to coil around...

...before things get easy?

Every day is twisted.

Twisted as a nipponite fossil.

Ms Eto!

I thought a lot about
where we might go.

Maybe my kind of place this
time.

I hope you like it.

Pretty, isn't it.

Thank you for doing that.

You knit very well.

Not at all.

I always see you knitting
on the bus.

Oh.

You try and try and try again.

That's how it is.

Sorry, sorry!

So graceful.

Look at those teeth!

Scared?

Of course not!

Take a picture.

Here goes.

Did you get it?

Yes, I did.

Really?

Is this really real?

So...should we be
girlfriend and boyfriend?

Are we already?

Well...

...what do you think?

Uh, well...

...OK, we are.

Great!

Great! Great!

We're dating!
I thought we might be.

Great!

Fantastic!

But why are you thinking that
now?

It's like it's sort of natural.

It feels right.

So natural it doesn't seem real.

Hey! This is real, Ms Eto.

We're officially going out.
Fantastic!

It something I was thinking
looking at my parents.

More than things like love or
hate...

...it's more important that
it feels right.

I see.

Well...

...even if we are going out,
I don't want to get married
right away.

Did I say 'marry'?

No. I did.

Yeah.

It's just that you mentioned
your parents.

Just in passing.

Sorry...huh?

No, no.

I just remembered Ms Tsukishima
saying you were looking to
marry.

Kurumi said that?

It's just that I asked her about
you.

Why?

I wanted to find out about you.
I like you.

I can imagine maybe
getting married to you...

...but I don't want to talk
about that
till I'm a little more mature.

Anyway, I like you.

Yoshika!

Yes?

Can I call you that?

OK.

Yoshika...

What do you want to call me?

There's an octopus after me!

Wait!

Ms Eto, wait!

Ms Eto!

I'm sorry to shock you
yesterday.

I feel bad about it.

I brought you lunch.

Right now...

...I've never been so happy.

I want to pick you up
and spin you around...

...but I don't want to scare
you,
so I'm resisting that.

But...

...I was a fool
for suddenly trying to kiss you.

Ms Tsukishima warned me.

She said other things as well as
me wanting to get married?

Uh...

Let's go to that bar
with Ms Tsukishima next time...

What did she say?

Hey! Don't look so serious.

Tell me.

Well, stuff like
since you've never had a
boyfriend...

...that I should take it slow
with you.

To be honest, it's unusual
that you've never been with
anyone.

And to be honest,
I find that purity very
adorable.

And it makes me think
that you're adorable.

Aw, come on! Don't be mad.

She was just trying to help
get things rolling with us.

Whatever.

Good. Now I've made up my mind.

There's a guy I've liked
ever since middle school.

I've liked him for ten years.

I've got two boyfriends.
He's one, and you're the other.

But now I'm going to
boil it down to one.

The one I like best, and so...

...goodbye.

A virgin!

A virgin!

'Morning.

I want to die.
I'd die if it wouldn't hurt.

Rena Murasakidani

Are you OK?

'Morning.

What's wrong? You don't look
well.

Yoshika?

Morning sickness.

Yoshika?

Stupid Kurumi!
Stupid, stupid Kurumi!

That stupid Kurumi
went and told everything!

So Two's perfect for me, huh?
You slut!

You pimpstress!

You must really look down on me!

You were just trying to help,
huh?

Thanks a hell of a lot!

And Two...

...you saw one post-it, and
thought
it was an arrow pointing down!

Fuck!

I hate the kind of man
who just wants a virgin!

He has the nerve
to just show up in my life...

...and wants to stroll into it
with his damn shoes on!

I'm on the 10-year program of
love!

That's right, One.

What's going on, One?!

Why...

...don't you remember my name?

Why?!

My narcissist prince!

But...

...whatever he's like in real
life,
my ten years have not been
wasted!

I've been true to my love.
There's beauty in that!

Ocarina, shut up!
You're driving me crazy!

There's evil in me.

Great! In this world,
evil is stronger.

Maternity Leave

I'll win! With this I'm sure to
win!

Now I am invincible.
I will let nothing defeat me!

You won't refuse me, Freddie!

No way. I can't give you
maternity leave this early.

You can't?

This is Accounts.

We need continuity.
You know that.

Congratulations, though.

Then...I quit.
Thank you very much.

Hey, wait a minute!

Aw, man!

That's two from your year now.
Takasugi's quitting Sales.

Isn't that a waste of a good
job?

I'll give you vacation time.
Take some time off!

Yoshika, how are you?

This is an early baby gift.
A 'Mondegreen Hour' towel.

I got it from Takahashi
in Planning.

A T-shirt would have been
better,
or maybe a jumper...

I'm taking some time off.

It's that bad?

Well, whether it is or not...

...what's the point
of spending my days...

...checking up on idiots
who think 1 plus 1 equals 1?

Only sustaining myself
on how much I despise them?

When I can't even add 2-figure
numbers
without a calculator?

My inner voice keeps doing that.
Crazy, huh?

I must be.

I toss garbage for someone to
pick up
without thinking twice about it.

I've been strange for a long
time.

But I guess there's a cold
comfort
in saying thank you to
someone...

...who isn't working for the
thanks.

Tackysushi's quitting.

What?

He's always saying how
he wants to start on his own.

He's resigned.

You didn't know?

You're his girlfriend?

Anyway...

...who's the father?

None of your business.

I see.

So this is being alone.

Great!

Kurumi Tsukishima

I want to die.

Murasakidani's popular.
I'm jealous.

No! Don't die!

Don't worry. I'm not going to.

Huh?

Haircut?

How'd you know?

I'm your boyfriend.

Kurumi Tsukishima

Replaying Message

Congratulations on the baby,
Yoshika.
I'll take a chance and leave a
message.

I'm sorry I couldn't say that
sooner.

It's like you said.
Akira handed in his resignation.

But I'm fine. I'll deal with it.

Did I do something
to make you angry?

If I did, I apologize. I'm
sorry.

Maybe...

...you're snubbing me?

'Snubbing'? This isn't Grade 8!

Above all, congratulations.

I'm sure it'll be a great baby.

'Bye.

Very nice.

Hello. This is Murasakidani
from Murasaki Enterprises.

Sales Section 2, please.

No umbrella?

Well?

I guess I had to come,
but what do you want?

To summon the real.

Sorry.

Thanks for coming.

You don't look good.
You need to stay healthy now.

I'll take you to the hospital
if you're sick.

I'm not pregnant.

I'm not pregnant. I lied.

One thing led to another...

What led to what?
Stop messing up my life!

What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.

Like hell!

Why would you lie like that?
What's wrong with you?!

I was angry because you and
Kurumi
were discussing my private life!

Ms Tsukishima thought
that would help.

Like hell! She meant that.

She didn't like me
pretending I had a boyfriend.

Then stop playing the victim.

You can't say for sure
there's no ill-will...

...in giving away someone's
secrets,
even if you don't intend to.

But people do that sometimes.

How would you feel?

The whole company saw me blow up
in the office. I'm mortified!

Now I can never
go back in to work again!

I'm finished before
I accomplished anything!

Stop exaggerating!

No one in the world
accomplishes anything at our
age.

Joan of Arc!

Don't try to win this
by saying something crazy.

You want to be great?

Really, Yoshika? Two boyfriends?
You're pregnant?

In your brain...there's a devil!

If there's a devil here,
it's in you!

A devil who wants virgins!
That's why you liked me, isn't
it?

What?!

Adorable because I'm a virgin!
Why would you say that?!

So once I'm not a virgin
I'm worthless?

That's horrible!

Look, Yoshika...

'Ms Eto' to you!

You don't even say my name.

Who cares!

I care! It hurts me.

Suck it up!
Or don't you like me?

Look...

...do you realize what you're
saying
when you tell me to 'suck it
up'?

Most men would back off,
but I'm clear in my mind about
you.

I'm going to believe in myself
and press on.

Isn't that big of you!
That's so arrogant I'm
trembling.

Aw, man!

You love me, right?

I say barbaric things.
Suck it up!

To be honest, I don't love you
yet.
I'm still just at 'like'.

I hate when you say 'to be
honest'!

I...

...pretty much...

...like you.

Why?

Maybe...

...you're unusual.

What do you mean, 'unusual'?
Twisted?

No.

Not twisted.

And you're not great.
But I want to be with you.

You're full of things
I can't figure out.

I like you.

But no matter how much
someone likes you...

...you can't just come at them
with everything hanging out.

Having said that,
when all is said and done...

...I like what I like.

Have my child!

I want the world to hear that.

I lied.

I just didn't dare look at you.

This place smells nice.

Yoshika...

Kirishima...

Ow!

Tremble all you want.
