Beach Boys (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

It's summertime.

A fireworks festival, huh?

That's what summer
in Japan is all about.

I heard we'll get really busy.

Did you invite Sakura to come?

She said she'll come with a
friend. But I'll be working.

Women fall in love all over
again with their man when they

see him working hard.

When you say things like that
it's not convincing at all anyway.

I never thought I'd be selling
beer at a fireworks festival.

I thought so.



I'm mystifying myself.

You are?

When I was a kid...

I dreamed about becoming
a fireworks technician.

They seemed cool. Because I
really didn't know what they did.

But it seemed
dangerous somehow.

It seemed like men among
men who staked their

lives for the fireworks during
the summer but the rest of it

during the rest of
the year was a mystery.

I even thought about following
them when they left. Didn't you?

No.

They may be a lot more
normal than you think!

Who?

Those fireworks guys.



You have no dreams!

You're not supposed
to be playing!

We are not.

Take care of it, guys.

What're you doing?

We're scouting the
area for the fireworks.

You and Toshio?

He and I handle it every year.

I don't believe this...

Is this what reality is like?

I told you so.

I'm so disappointed.

You don't have to go that far.

Never mind! Never mind!
I'm going to eat!

Take care of this, will you?

I'm starving, Mako-chan!

Good morning, Makoto.

Were you still sleeping?

Excuse me.

I wish I could stay until
the fireworks festival.

Never mind. You have to
get back to your job, right?

Nothing good happens
when you're around.

Just to let you know,
I'm the customer here.

Wasn't there some weird
guy that said the same thing

a long time ago?

There was!

Be quiet.

I wish I could stay and wear
a yukata (cotton kimono).

Right, Makoto?

Women should wear
yukata during the summer.

They should?

Fireworks reminds me!
Want to hear!

That Hiromi... it was so
embarrassing... he...

Hold it!

I'll throw you into the ocean
again. Go home right now.

I haven't had my breakfast yet.

I know!

Why don't we ask them if we
can help? Don't you want to try?

It's Yusuke-Yuko.

Don't call us that. Doesn't
it sound like we're a

bad stand-up comedy team?

Where's Haruko?

Shopping.

Do you have to work tomorrow?

Of course. Tomorrow's the
busiest day of the year for us.

I'm stuck with Yusuke again?

Sorry about that...

What'd you say?

Nothing.

I know. You wanted to see
Makoto in a yukata, right?

I'm back!

I'm so busy today.

Thanks for filling in.

Don't you feel left out, Makoto?

Every girl wants to go to
the fireworks festival in a

pretty yukata with a
handsome boy, right?

Can't help it. My family runs
a minshuku inn. And besides...

I don't own a yukata.

I don't think I'd look
good in one anyway.

Do you have one, Yuko?

I do. But it's hand me down
yukata from my mom.

Because she's stingy.

But you have those two guys
working so do you have to?

I can't. Right, Haruko?

Let's work hard.

I'll help.

Here she is. The woman
you've been waiting for.

Welcome!

Welcome to the
"Diamond Head".

Where's Sakura?

She said she's not coming.

I think it's hard for her.

Why?

What a wonderful view!

This feels wonderful!

Why didn't Sakura come?

She couldn't make up her
mind until the very last minute.

I feel sorry for Sakura.

I do.

Because you suddenly quit
the company and came

to a place like this, Mr. Suzuki.

A girl won't know what to do.

People have been
talking quite a bit, too.

You can't blame them.

Why do you think
Sakura didn't come?

She was looking forward
to the fireworks festival.

She even went to buy a yukata

But she told me, "The festival
will be fun but it'll be too

hard not to be able
to go home together."

"The more fun we have
the more lonely I'll feel."

Please don't get mad at her.

I really think Sakura is
bearing things really well.

I wouldn't get mad.

Please have some cold tea.

Or would beer have been better?

Please enjoy yourselves.

Take care of them.

So you're finally leaving?

Yes, I am.

Hiromi?

Shall we give it another try?

After seeing you work here, I
think I tossed way a good thing.

Didn't you think that before?

Not at all.

Too bad.
You realized it too late.

I did, huh? I guess that's okay.

See ya!

Have a safe trip!

I'll be back again!

This feels so good!

Don't you think so!

Add the fireworks to this and
don't you think its the best?

Too bad Sakura didn't come.

I wish she had.

So is this what she
was talking about?

The natural Jacuzzi?

Sakura has a real
way with words!

But she said to be careful
or we'll get burned.

Me, too. I'm the kind of man
you have to be careful with

or you'll get burned.

The beer will taste
good after this.

Please enjoy yourselves.

Are you Hiromi?

Sakura told us, you're a little
loose but you're a nice guy.

He's more that little.

Give me a break!

Makoto?

Didn't Sakura come?

He and I will handle things
here so go and have fun with

your friends tomorrow, Makoto.

Why don't you do that?

I can't. I can't
depend on you guys.

We'll be fine.

No, you won't.

Are you all right?

You see?

A yukata?

Of course she doesn't have one.

She never said she wanted one.

Men are useless.

No good at all.

You think...?

I'm doing a bad thing to Sakura?

I am, right?

It's not good but...

Never mind.

You said what I say
doesn't mean much, right?

Most folks would disagree.

What?

Please say it.

Really?

Ready to take notes?

For me...

I have one rule.
Women are precious.

I think men should be
kind and gentle to women.

But a man shouldn't use a
woman as a reason to

choose a path in life.

That wouldn't be
fair to the woman.

I'm so touched by what I said!
Did you take notes?

You know, you...

You're lucky to be so carefree.

But it's a lonely life, too.

You're the lucky guy. You have
someone that worries about you.

Basically, I don't have anyone.

I'm like alone sun right now.

Sometimes, you're really
hard to figure out.

I'm so happy to hear that.

'Till only recently you had no
idea what I was all about, right?

That's true.

It's gone.

Want to go to the
Nagisa to drink?

Sure.

There's no place else.

Then, let's go.

What did you just hide?

Oh, it's you guys.

What kind of greeting is that?

I thought you were Makoto.

What's that for?

It's mine but I thought
I'd give it to Makoto.

A yukata?

After all, Makoto is a girl.

That's nice.

She pretends not to be interested
in wearing a yukata because

it is the busiest time of year.
But that can't be true.

She really is too
responsible for a kid.

My family ran a business, too,
so they always made me work

during the fireworks festival.

I envied the girls
wearing their yukatas.

Keep this a secret until I'm done.

Leave it to me.
Can you keep a secret?

You look like the type that'll blab.

You're the last one that
should be telling me that.

Where'd they go?

Beats me.

It's so quiet when
they're not here, isn't it?

Think so.

That's how it was last year.

I know that but...

Makoto?

Do you wish your
mother was around?

Why?

I just thought you might.

Grandpa?

Actually, I was a little happy.

When Mom said she wanted
me to live with her.

Because I thought she'd
forgotten all about me.

But...

Don't worry. I wont
tell you to go.

This summer sure is a
noisy one, isn't it?

I think we'll I have a good
fireworks festival tomorrow.

The yukata will sure
make Makoto happy.

Enjoy yourselves.

What kind of guy was
your man, Haruko?

Cut it out, stupid!

Sorry.

That's okay.

He was a little like Kaito.

Like me?

What's wrong with me?

He was an elite
businessman, too.

I think he was just like you
when you first came here, Kaito.

The same?

I think his dating me was like
a summer vacation to him.

I think he wanted a break.

But summer vacation is
over when fall comes.

You're a poet.

Was that good?

What'll you do when
summer is over, Kaito?

I haven't thought about it.
I didn't come here to think.

You know, the
fireworks festival...

Hold it!

Why didn't you ask me
that question, too?

I've been meaning to ask
you this for awhile now, too.

Can I? Okay?

Why do you talk to him so
politely and not to me?

What's wrong with that?

Because you don't think
about anything anyway, right?

How rude.

You're like the fireworks finale.

What does that mean?

One big explosion and
there's nothing left after it.

Was that good?
Aren't I a poet?

It wasn't good at all!

Once the fireworks festival
comes, summer is over

in no time.

Tomorrow is like the turn
towards the end of summer.

Like a last lap, huh?

Enjoy yourselves.

Let's drink.

A turn towards the
end of summer, huh?

It's so short.

Let's not get down.

With swimming...

It's after the turn that
the true race begins.

So it's just beginning. Right?

This is just the beginning.

It's morning, Makoto.
The fireworks festival day!

Why don't you knock!

We're in the red, you know.

So what?

What?

Is that Hazuki?

Hi Hazuki!

Why are you here?

I have to go back home
to Tokyo for awhile.

So you won't be staying for
the fireworks festival?

That's too bad.

I wanted to see it, too.

There's next year.

Hazuki's like that girl...
from that Alps story.

The pretty one?

Heidi?

You're like Heidi.

How?

Because your cheeks are red.

What about Grandpa?

He's the Grandpa.

You're like Peter. Because
you're always dirty.

And you smell, too.

So if you stay here, you'll
become healthy again, too.

I'll get better?

Of course!

What about me?

Who's left?

The dog Josef?

He's the only character left.

Don't get so mad.
You're not a kid.

So I'll be going.

And hurry back.

Some folks want to see
the fireworks but can't.

Boss?

Are you sure you can do this?

Something smells good!

I'll bring breakfast out
to you right away.

It seems odd to eat a breakfast
that you made, Mr. Suzuki.

It's good.

I don't know if he can
claim he made it.

I taught him
everything he knows.

Those clouds don't look good.

You're right.

It's really pouring.

I guess it can't be helped.

It's canceled.

I guess we'll just have to
look forward to next year's.

Sorry. After you came to see it.

So what'll we do?
Shall we go home?

Why don't we do that?

I think I'll go buy some sparklers.

Mr. Suzuki?

Leaving already?

I'm really sorry. Come
back to visit anytime.

We're sorry, too.

For saying all those things.

Not at all.

Sakura is hanging in there.

But please think a
little more about her.

Or it'll be too sad f or her.

It's done!

Rain...

What a day.

This is for you.

Me?

Who's it from?

Keiko Izumi

It's from your mother.

Open it.

A yukata?

So Keiko is a mother after all.

Hello!

I got soaked.

What's wrong?

Keiko sent it to her.

Let's see.

This is cute! I'm impressed
with your mother.

I'm happy for you, Makoto.

This is nice.

I don't need a yukata.

Makoto!

Take it with you.

This is cute.

You'll look cute in it.

What's wrong with all of you?

Did you come here for a reason?

I need to borrow some shoyu.

Go a head.

Thanks.

This won't stop.
Will it?

I guess not.

I'll see you.
Thank you.

What'll we do?

You go to her shop.

Why is it always me?

I know it'd better if you went.

Why?

Because I might say
something stupid and hurt her

feelings even more.

Me?

Besides, she said her guy
was an elite like you.

That has nothing to do with it.

I'm the kind of guy that danger
always seems to follow so...

Because you lack tact.

That, too.

Hurry!

Okay, I'll go.

Here he is.

I was looking forward to seeing
which one of you would come.

What do I say?

Don't worry about it.

- But your yukata...
- Never mind.

The yukata Keiko made has
to be better for Makoto.

It's always better if your
mother made it for you.

Haruko...

Besides, it was fun.

I had a lot of fun while
I was making it for her.

I felt like a mother.

So I'm satisfied with that.

Even if it goes to waste.

Summer, huh?

She was fine.

Let's pup up the fireworks.

The rain's starting to let up.

Fireworks, fireworks.
Let's do it.

Shall we?

Let's do it!

Haruko?

I told you to knock!

Wear your yukata
and come downstairs.

I don't want to.

Why?

Aren't you happy?

Just leave me alone.

Be honest.
You're really happy inside.

I'll get mad.

Hurry and come down.

But the fireworks festival
was canceled, right?

So there's no reason
for me to put it on.

Yes, there is.

You need to wear a yukata
to watch fireworks.

What?

And every one wants to
see you in that yukata.

Hurry and get dressed.
We'll all be waiting.

Got it?

Haruko?

I'll help you get dressed.

Doesn't she look wonderful?

Summer and yukatas
really go together.

Clothes can really...

I heard that.

Summer and fireworks
have to go together, too.

I really did idolize those
fireworks technicians as a kid.

But I guess I told you that.

It really seems like summer.

Sakura?

It's me.

Kaito?

I'm going to shoot the
fireworks from now.

Fireworks? I thought
that was canceled.

Can you wait a minute?

Hello?

Hello? It's me!
Hiromi!

He's going to shoot the fireworks

so look up in the sky for him.

There's no way I'll see...

You can see it!
You'll see it!

Here it goes!

Ready?

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One!

How could I see it?

You're not bad.

Thanks!

Something wrong?

It's my turn.

I'll do them all!

Don't do that!

Don't be an idiot!

Too late.
