Beach Boys (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Right. It's called the
Diamond Head.

I'll be waiting.

What're you doing?

Calling friends so we get
customers to keep

this place going.

But the owner said he
didn't want to yesterday.

He didn't tell us to leave.
That meant "okay"

Think so?

I do!

Why call friends?

Whenever you start out in
sales, you call your friends



and family, right? They're the
ones that get you going.

I know that, but...

Don't you know anyone who
could be a customer?

Everyone I know has a job.

It's me, Hiromi. Were
you asleep? Sorry!

What?

You have time, don't you?

Thanks for helping.

Where's your buddy?

I asked him to come.

But he's a customer, right?

That's what he said.

What's wrong?

This picture...?



That was taken when I
first started this place.

This is my wife.
Wasn't she a beauty?

But don't fall for her.
She's dead anyway.

This is my daughter...
Makoto's mother.

Where is she now?

She's in Tokyo.

She just doesn't seem
to like this place.

She took off as soon as she
graduated from high school.

When she finally came back over
10 years later, she was divorced.

And left Makoto here with me.
Then she took off again.

The first surfer in Japan?

That's what he says.

But I think lots of other
folks are claiming that, too.

No one has proof.

I just happened to
start doing it first.

How old were you when
you started this place?

He was 19?

I think he's been running the
place for over 40 years.

So why does he want
to close it now?

I guess it's his age.

That can't be true.

You can't close a minshuku
inn for that kind of reason.

Why did you start this minshuku?

Because I thought it'd be fun.

I didn't think too hard.

I just thought I wanted to
do it, so I decided I would.

Simple is best.

What do you mean, he's
closing down the minshuku?

I thought those guys came back.

They have nothing to do with it.

So what's the reason?

Why do I have to
tell you, Yusuke?

Because...

Are you going back to
your mom in Tokyo?

Looks that way.

When?

When summer vacation comes.

That's real soon!

That's right.

Hey! Don't get so depressed!

It' really hot is this car.

I'm hot, too. It's hot
in the summer.

Keeping things natural is the best.

I see.

That girl.

Doesn't she live in a villa?

I heard she has a bad heart.

She comes here on weekends.

She doesn't look sick.

Hello.

It's crowded, but want a ride?

I want to walk.

We're going to have a barbecue
today so why don't you come?

- See ya.
- Bye-bye

When folks are ill, don't they
usually go to mountains

for the clean air and stuff?

She must like the ocean.

It's the best for your health to
be in a place you love, isn't it?

Simple is best.

Pardon me!

You're in the way.

What?

What do you want to say!

I'm so busy!

So what you trying to tell me?

It's so hard to do everything
alone and I'm so busy!

What?

I'm not trying to get you
to help me! Not at all!

You know what to do.
I'll go catch some fish.

Give it to me.

I was in the Boy Scouts
when I was a kid.

I may not look it, but I do come
from a pretty good family.

You don't look it at all.

Don't swing too hard.
Try to use the gravity.

Give it a try.

If you put too much power
into it, you'll mess up.

It's like life.

I don't want to know.

Aim for this spot.

It's 800 yen.

Sakura?

- Here I am.
- Here you are?

What're you doing?

Sorry.

That hurt!
Welcome.

Are you planning to stay?

So you called for
customers, too?

My name is Sakurai Hiromi.

I'm Yamazaki Sakura.

- Your younger sister?
- No, she's not.

So why're you so
familiar with her?

- That's not why.
- Who is this?

He works at the minshuku.

Just you?

Everyone else is
coming tomorrow.

What about you new guy?

- Dumped him.
- So soon?

So late.

Hello!

Is the one you talked about,
Hiromi? Japan's economy?

He said you're an elite,
but a really good guy.

And almost as
good-looking as him.

So you're going to
work here with him?

No. I'm a customer.

You talk too much.

What! I came here for you!

Okay, so shut up, stupid.

Are you starting already? You
asked me to come so I did!

It's my fault.

What's she talking about?

Nothing much.

Let's go.

Why did you blab all that stuff?

They can see right through you.

This'll make you feel better.

Pick one you like.

This one.

Want to watch?

I'm an employee.

So?

I came to get you.

Why?

Because you handed me
this and disappeared.

l thought you weren't
going to come back.

No way.

Like when I arrived. You
looked like you belonged here.

That's not true.

Rumors are flying
around the office.

They're saying you've lost
confidence because

of that project.

That happens a lot. There's
nothing to get down about.

That's not why.

Then why?

I just wanted to take a break.

I still have some vacation
time left. That's all.

Since I'm here, think I'll have
some fun before I go back.

I'm sorry!

Sex is banned at this minshuku.

What're you saying!

I'll come to get you as
soon as the bath is ready.

What is he?

He works here.

He's strange.

He's late.

Welcome home.

You're early today.

We're having exams soon.

You're late today.

I'm sorry.

Here it is.

What's this?

It's a bill.
I don't want it.

I don't want it.
You can have it.

But you have to take it.

You're useless.
Get going.

See you.

Whose letter are you waiting for?

From a man?

That's right.

What king of man?

What kind?

How old?

A younger man.

A really cute young boy.

His name is Haruki.

"Haru" as in spring?

Don't you have to go home?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Do you dislike your
mother that much?

Not really.

Not really, but...

I know. Cheer up, Makoto.

Your cheerfulness is
all you have, right?

You don't have to rub it in.

That's the smile

A minshuku inn's daughter
has to have a nice smile.

I heard you have customers.

Really?

How is it?

This is heavenly!

It feels wonderful!

This place is famous for this.

What else?

The ocean, of course!

Nothing could match that.

You're not bad, Sakura.

Hold it!

I'll take care of things here!

I can't let a customer do that.

Welcome!

Welcome home, Makoto!

I don't recall getting
so familiar with you!

Why're you so cold to me?

We're having a barbecue, right?
I'll change and help you.

I'm counting on you!

Who's that?

She lives here.

You got customers, Grandpa.

So you're going to keep
running this place, right?

And I can stay, too, right?

You'll need help and besides...

Those 2 brought them
with out asking me.

When school lets out for summer,
you're leaving to live with

Keiko and I'm closing this place.

That hasn't changed.

But Grandpa...

Makoto?

I guess they'll be
our last customers.

I guess so.

Then, we'd better make
sure they have a good time.

Which one? The meat?

This one. Thanks.

Enough beer?

I'm fine.

Why'd you do that?

It's too soon.

Don't look so happy.

I'm not. Didn't they teach
you that in the Boy Scouts?

Not stuff like this.

Want to hear something good?

A really embarrassing
memory for Hiromi.

Why do you do that
when you start to drink?

Hiromi was getting freshman d...

That girl didn't come.

It maybe hard for her to.

When you're not healthy,
don't you think it makes you

really mad to see healthy folks?

Like you.

You think I upset
her by inviting her?

You can be pretty
sensitive, can't you?

I'm sensitivity itself.

When you said what you did?

That idiot.

Hiromi!

What?

Are you practicing?

Practicing?

You're here at the ocean,
so doesn't it mean you've

decided to give it another try?

Where's the next Olympics
going to be at?

That's not why?

You're not? I was
sure you were

You're drunk.

I am not drunk!

This is a nice place.

Everyone's a hot of fun.

But you can't stay
here forever, can you?

I know that.

Want something to drink?

Did I wake you?

I'm okay.

I'm fine...

About what you were
talking about outside...

Did he used to swim?

Swim doesn't describe him.
An Olympic medal wasn't

out of his reach back then.

He was one of the top free
style swimmers in Japan.

but he got hurt the night before
the final qualifying race.

And blew everything.

Ever since then he hasn't
taken anything seriously.

Makoto?

I... I want to stay here.

I want to stay here.

Grandpa?

I want to stay here forever.

Because I love this place.

Makoto!

I'm sorry.

There's nothing for you
to apologize about.

Nothing at all.

Good night.

So that's why.

It wasn't lack of
customers or anything?

Who said that? You
figured that on your own.

I know that, but... is Makoto
going back to Tokyo?

Mr. Masaru wants her to.

She says she doesn't want to.

That's none of your business.

This is between Makoto and me.

It's for her own sake.

Then why're you going
to tear down this minshuku?

If I don't do that,
she'll never leave here.

I'm going to bed.

So we still have to leave.

Why?

I wondered why you
didn't go after him harder.

Can't help it.
Reality is pretty harsh.

A guy like the owner, even if
he's lived a pretty carefree life...

It's still hard for him to
break free of reality.

It must be tough to live
just doing what you love.

It must be tough.

I feel sorry for Makoto, too.

Carrying all that baggage at
her age. She never shows it.

I admire that.

Why?

Why are you so
tuck on this place?

Because I've...

I've never swum the ocean.

To be honest,
I'm a little scared of it.

Because there're no
lanes or a goal line.

That's why I couldn't
swim in the ocean.

But this summer...

I thought I might
be able to swim in it.

Get it?

I talked about the
ocean like it was life.

But the Olympics?
That's amazing.

I didn't go.

I know that.

But it's still amazing.

It is.

Sorry about this.

What're you going to do
when everyone comes?

I'll have to chase them all away.

Thanks, Fujiko.

I'll be waiting.

What're you doing?

What're you doing? What're
we going to do with all that?

- I don't know.
- What?

I don't know. I just felt
like chopping wood.

That's why I'm doing it.

I didn't think about
what I'd do with it.

Simple is best, huh?

It's f or Makoto's own sake?

Give me a break!

It'd be a different story if you're
the one that wanted to quit.

Even, if it's for the granddaughter
you love, I don't want to hear you

say you're doing it
for someone else.

Why don't you let your
granddaughter do

what s he wants to anyway?

She would decide
what she wants to do.

That's what you've done
your whole life, right, sir?

If you've lived life the way you've
wanted to, stay consistent

to the very end. No matter
what the end result is...

Be an example for me.

Is that all you have to say?

Clean it all up when you're done.

Thanks.

Haruko?

What?

I was wondering what you
thought about all this.

You're asking me?

Because I'd understand how
both Makoto and your daughter.

Keiko, How do you feel?

I didn't mean that, but...

No matter what the reason,
it's the parent's fault when

they divorce.

Sorry.

It made me made.

What?

To have a young kid like
him lecture me like that.

Made me so mad.

I'm going to borrow your phone.

You were cool.

Don't tease.

I'm not.

I'm serious. You
really were cool.

Be quiet.

This is how you
chop wood. Like this.

Are you two still at it?

You know...!

When I think that we won't be able to
walk home together like this anymore.

What're you saying?

I'm not going to
a foreign country.

Makoto?

Leave it to me.

I said, leave it to me.
I'm going on ahead.

Where's he going?

Yusuke?

I need to talk to you.

I love this minshuku.

Please reconsider your decision.

Makoto should stay here.

She belongs here.

Please, sir! Don't
shut this place down!

Yusuke...

It's all right, Yusuke.

No, it's not!

What's so funny?

We're all done talking about that.

No, we're not!

He doesn't understand
anything, does he?

You have good friends, Makoto.

Get everything ready
for a barbecue.

I'll show you how to do it right.

For the 2nd day in a row?

Grandpa?

Do what you want to, Makoto.

Then...?

I called Keiko.

Grandpa!

I love you!

Makoto!

How about me?

No way, fool!

Never mind!
Come on and, help!

You too, Hiroko.

Hey, Mr. Business man.
You help, too.

You can eat now!

I'll get it.

I'll take that.

This is great.

Completely different
from yesterday's.

What was that?

You can't charge money for his!

Mr. Suzuki Kaito!
You have a phone call!

Phone call.

This is Suzuki.

I'm putting the
department head on.

Mr. Suzuki's on the line, sir.

I understand.
Thank you.

Something wrong?

I'm leaving.

My vacation's over.
