Beach Boys (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

So it's being closed.

It's so short. It was like only
yesterday we opened it.

Doesn't it seem like a waste?

Why don't you live here?

I was joking.

But you might really do it.

Maybe.

But I'll bet even this place
can be tough in the winter.

Winter, huh?

I wonder what
winter is like here.

I think I might want to see it.



Lunch?

Isn't a terrible thing?

Taking down the stall.
I hate this time of year the most.

Why?

It's like a aged another year.

When I'm as old as
you are, Mr. Masaru...

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Ms. Izumi?

Your parent/teacher college
planning interview is tomorrow.

Can I do it alone?

Couldn't you ask one of
your parents to come?

It's an important meeting
that will decide your future.

This is a simple question
but why's the stand called



the "Nagisa 2?"

I meant to ask, too.

That stand used to be called
the "Diamond Head 2."

Why?

Mr. Masaru gave it to me as a
present when I came back here.

He asked if I wanted
to try running it.

The "Nagisa" is near the ocean
but you can't see it, right?

He thought being here
would cheer me up a little.

Is that why?

The boss is so cool.

Grandpa Masa is hungry, too.

Don't you guys know how
to hold back at all?

I'll make some right now.

Thanks!

I know you've experienced
this a lot but...

It's sorta lonely, isn't it?

A full grown man like you,
getting emotional?

Well... because...

This is just the beginning.
The fun is just beginning.

Beginning?

What do you mean?

During the summer, that ocean
out there and this minshuku

belongs to everyone else.

But when summer is over and
no one comes any more

it's all mine.

I'll bet you kids don't
understand that.

After we finish cleaning up,
I'll show you how

to enjoy yourselves.

What's so much fun about
doing stuff like this?

I wonder if he tricked us?

I think so!

Working hard.

Boss! What's this all about?

Idiots! This minshuku and I have
been incredible good to you.

You'd better scrub with
gratitude in your hearts.

It's the least you could do.

Gratitude in our hearts?

Now, hurry and get it done.

Boss!

Number 9! Number 9!

This isn't what you
described to us!

What're you doing?

I hate those.

Are you done?

Good.
Get your gear ready.

I hate meeting like this.

My mom always apologizes
about how I've been

misbehaving even though
I didn't do anything wrong.

That's better! Both my parents
are talking about coming.

Give me a break!

What're going
to do, Makoto?

About what?

The meeting.

Are you going to call your mom?

You know I can't do that.

I'm home!

Welcome home!

He's handsome no matter
how many times I see that.

You're biased, Haruko.

I guess so.

- What's wrong?
- Why?

When you come here still in
your school uniform. it means

you don't want to go home
for some reason or

you have something bugging you.

Really?

That's right.
So what is it?

Here.

Parent/teacher meeting?
I remember these.

The teacher asked if I could
get a parent to come.

But I can't help my situation.

Why don't you call Keiko?

I don't want to.

Because...

I don't like when people
aren't straightforward.

You don't have to say it like that.

It doesn't make sense for
a mother and daughter

not to see each other
because of pride.

It's not good and
I won't condone it.

I'm home!

I'm home!

WE WENT TO THE MOUNTAIN.
WE'LL BE HOME TOMORROW.

What is this?

Stop here.

Here?

That's right.

What'll we do?

We walk from here.

Let's go.

Boss?

Bring the gear!

Not yet, boss?

Almost there.

Not yet, boss?

Not yet, boss?

You're to noisy!

This is it.

My special place.

Didn't you make a place like
this when you were a kid?

I did. It was in a park
near my house.

I hid all my treasures
there in a can.

Didn't you do that, too?

I stayed away for awhile
and everything as been

cleared away by a bulldozer
I was so mad. I cried.

This is like that for me.

What is this?

Why did they leave
only me behind?

Get three of those leaves
and bring them to me.

This?

That's right.
Bring it here.

These are good?

Are they edible?

See that plant there?
Get some.

Now, try eating it.

That's just a weed.

Boss!

Hurry!

I told you it was over there.

Boss?

Were you really popular with the
women in your younger days?

My younger's days?

You are now, too.

Of course I am. When a man
loses his appeal, it's all over.

When he thinks he doesn't want
women to like him, it's over.

That's why he always
wears such loud clothes.

Bright flowered shirts and such.

What'd you say?

But when you have something
important to decide,

you have to do it without women.

Never decide a path
in life for a woman.

In that sense, you did well.

Me?

You stuck to your selfish wish.

Or it may just mean that Sakura
is an admirable woman.

Boss?

Do you come here every year?

Since there aren't many
guests anymore.

Even the fireworks festival
was canceled this year.

And two part-timers practically
freeloading off me, too.

Didn't make any money.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not one that
dislikes a lively house.

And besides, you shouldn't be in
this business to make money.

You're right.

That's right! Who
cares about profit!

I never said that!

You're right.

What'd you do that for?

You looked like couldn't
decide, so I gave you a push.

You don't really
have to do it.

I'm very sorry.

I'll wait outside.

It'll be hard with me here, right?
Hurry and do it, okay?

Haruko!

Hello?

It's Makoto.

And I just happened to see
it in an American magazine.

It was all abut surfing
and it seemed so cool.

I knew this was it.

If I did that, all the women
on the beach would be mine.

I see.

But I couldn't get a board.

So I tried making one myself,
but it just don't turn out right.

I finally managed to get one,
but when I thought about it,

I had no idea what to do with it.

I couldn't look like a fool in front
of those women on the beach.

So what did you do?

I'd go at 4:00 or 5:00 in the
morning when no one was out.

And practiced really hard.

I was so scared
summer would be over.

That's how it come to be
that surfers go out really

early in the morning.

I don't think so, boss.

I'm lying.

So where is everyone?

At the mountain.

Is it that time already?

You got left behind?

Makes me so mad.

But the men are with the men
and we women are together.

That's good, too.

Shall we drink?

Barley tea would be nice.

Good evening!

Hazuki!

My mother brought this, but
I can't eat it all by myself

so I thought we'd
all eat it together.

Your timing is great!

Why don't you spend the
night here, too, Hazuki?

Let's do that!

Can I?

Sure you can!

It's a girl's only minshuku tonight.

Boss?

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever thought
about another kind of life?

What other kind of life is there?

What kind..?

A lot of different characters
have come before, but they

weren't fools like you two.

What?

I'm sure all kinds of
people have come.

That's right. In fact, my very first
guest was a minshuku burglar.

I didn't know what I was doing,
so I waited on him hand and foot.

He was my first guest,
so I was really happy.

Then, he ran off with all
the cash I had in the place.

There've been couples that met
at my place and got married.

It was tough when a
guest committed suicide.

That happened, too?

After that, I haven't used
that room for guests.

Is there a room like that?

It's the room my
employees sleep in.

Are you serious?

You're lying, aren't you?

Am I?

But sometimes, I can't sleep
at night. I feel like there's

something sitting
on my chest here.

That's my leg.
My leg.

That's right.
It's your leg, isn't it?

I guess that room can't be
haunted with you in there.

That's not necessarily true.

The employee's room?

Is that true?

I've heard it is.

That room...

Is haunted.

But Grandpa told you
that story, didn't he?

Shall we go up there?

Let's not.

Why not! Let's go!

Let's not!

Let's go.

The boss is cool, isn't he?

Don't you...?

You want to be
like him, don't you?

I can tell.

Maybe I'll stay.

I think it'd b best if I

could get old the way he has.

The boss...

I wonder why he
brought us here?

Just wondering out loud.

To his special place.

The reason why the boss
is so cool is because he's

found a life he loves

and he's stuck to it.

My job and your swimming...

They weren't things we loved.

I envy people that have that.

I think I want to stay and learn

from the boss a little longer.

It's been a long time, Makoto.

You haven't changed
your hairstyle.

Thank you for coming.

What're saying?
It made me happy.

Shall we go?

You were this uniform,
too, didn't you, Mom?

Is this outfit all right?
Too flashy?

Not at all.

I've never been to anything like
this, so I didn't know what to wear.

Mom?

I... want to go to a local college.

I thought you'd say that.

You're not against it?

It's your life. And you
wouldn't listen to me, anyway.

I'm starving.

That looks good.

It's strange. I can't find
the boss anywhere.

What were you doing, Boss?

Nothing much.

We're leaving after we eat that.

Already?

That looks great.

This is good.

Can I eat, too?

This is good.

Welcome home, Keiko.

Can I say, "I'm home?"

This place hasn't changed.

Where's Dad?

The mountain.

It's that time already?

He still does it?

Is work tough?

You're a magazine editor, right?

I just kept my head down and
worked. I think I finally have

sometime to look up
and take a breath.

But I'm still busy.

It might've been the right
decision to leave Makoto here.

She's grown into a fine girl.
And she's cute like me.

I heard there're two interesting
part-timers here now.

Makoto told me about them.

They are.

You'll have dinner, won't you?

I suppose I will.

They're home.

Welcome home.

Keiko?

Welcome home.

You called her, Makoto?

I'm impressed!

But I guess we wouldn't
have been able to go

that meeting anyway.

That's right.

I can't ask guys who haven't
even decided what their won

futures will be like.

So you're okay?

Thanks for everything.

Makoto and such.

You'll have dinner
with us, won't you?

We're done, boss!

I'll go catch a fish.
The one you like.

I'll help.

That's okay.
You're no good.

Want to come to my place?

Why don't we?

Why?

So you can be a family today.

That's too embarrassing.

You can't start being
thoughtful now anyway.

It's Hiromi and Kaito, isn't it?

Makoto and Haruko have
told me all about you.

Don't believe what they said.
Those are all lies.

I didn't say anything untrue.

Me, too.

Which means they're
a pretty odd pair.

Thank you for taking
care of Makoto.

They don't take care of me.
It's the opposite. Right?

Listen to you!

The boss is late!

That's why I offered t help
him and he turned me down.

I offered, but he
can be so difficult!

Are you two going
to stay here forever?

Maybe not forever...

For awhile anyway.

Because this place is great.

Mom?

Why did you leave?

Because I didn't want to
become like Grandpa.

What do you mean?

I felt like I wouldn't be able to
do anything if I stayed here.

I felt like this place
could ruin a person.

What's not good about the boss?

The way he's lived his life...

I really like it.

I never said it was bad.

But I don't think he wanted
to become the owner

of a minshuku inn.

I'm not saying
that's bad either.

He may be happy with it.

But I really don't think he
wanted to run a minshuku inn.

There must've been another
reason he chose this place.

I think staying in a place like this

will make you not care anymore.

I didn't want that.

I didn't want to live like that.

That's why I left home.

I don't hate this
place or Grandpa.

I grow up here, too.

I just chose a different path in life.

I think I understand a bit.

Although I didn't think
that deeply about it.

And I ended up coming
back home here anyway.

I caught one! See?

Isn't it a nice one?

We'll have sashimi today.

Get it ready.

Thank you for dinner.

See you again, Keiko.

Come to visit me.

I'm sorry, Makoto.
I have work.

Thanks for today.

Don't be silly.

Bye.

See you again.

To cold for this?

Not at all. Thank you.

I may owe it to you guys.

What?

This was a good summer.

It was a really good summer.

Please don't make it
sound like it's over.

Now, it's just you two.

It's almost time.

This is my ocean.

Your oceans are somewhere else.

Right?
