The Man Who Can't Get Married (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

- Episode 9 -
What's Wrong with Having a Girlfriend?!

Alright.

Dehydration.

It happens when you don't drink any water,
or even stop to take breaks during exercise.

Keep in mind that you're exercising
to get more healthy, okay?

I'm not doing it for health.

Eh?

Then, what for?

The pursuit of physical beauty.

And how exactly does one pursue that?

It has nothing to do with you, that's
for sure.



Indeed.

I was just curious, if maybe it's because
you wanted to show it to someone.

For your information, things like self-
actualization only concern a single person.

If it only concerns yourself, then please
don't busy up the hospital, okay?

Sensei,
your father's on line three.

Ehhh?

I'm in the middle of working, so tell
him I can't pick it up, alright?

Okay.

Line 3, huh?

How's the old man doing, anyway?

Well, he's the same as usual,
by which I mean...

...he keeps pushing me to do a miai.*
(*Formal marriage interview)

Is that the picture for the miai?

I kinda wanna see it.



Hmph, a miai...I could've helped you out.

I can find a marriage partner on my own,
thank you very much.

But to think that this person wants his
first marriage at 45...

Isn't that a bit...

Your father's just worried because you
can't find a partner on your own.

In addition to that, isn't a 45-year-old
man just right for you?

Uh, why are you speaking for my father?

I'm not.

Dehydration is something you get over
pretty quickly, isn't it?

Yes.

Well then, see ya.

Kuwano-san's got enough looks, but
he still can't go the extra mile, can he?

If he had some power, I'm sure
he'd be able to marry someone.

He's just "that" kind of person.

It's nothing more than that.

Show in the next patient, would you?

Yes! I'm glad I found you.

I was even thinking of calling you.

What?!

Were you waiting long?

This is Kuwano.

'sup.

What are you doing?
Sit down already.

What is this about?

This is a girl...from a Cabaret Club
I go to often.

You're still going there?

Let's not talk about that now...

Today, I made plans to meet this girl
through a text message,

and Keiko ended up seeing...

Then...why don't you just stop?

But if I cancel, it means I'm
feeling guilty.

As if you're not.

Welcome!

Why don't you order some coffee?

Ice Royal Milk Tea.

What am I here for again?

Look, she's here!

Excuse me! I'd like a coffee too.

Ah?! What's this about?

Sorry, but yesterday, I happened to see
your text message.

Eh?
Why are you looking at others'
mail without permission?

In any case, who is this person?

No way...you actually thought I was
being unfaithful?

C'mon, what do you think he's here for?

Why are you here, brother?

Who knows.

Well, you see,

I was having problems with my ex-boyfriend,

So I came here to talk about it and
seek help with these two.

How nice of you.

But...brother, what relation to you have to her?

Are you going out?

No...

Yes we are.

Thanks for the ride.

Sorry...for saying we were going
out back there.

Don't worry about it.

Your girlfriend would be pissed
if she found out, right?

Well, I don't...um..have a...

Bye now.

See ya later.

"Later"?

Welcome back!

Were you really at the hospital again?
How are you?

I wasn't.
...just doing some muscle training.

What's on the schedule for today,
anyway?

Sari-chan should be by any minute now to
bring the new plans, so I'll tell you then.

Excuse me!

- Ah, here you are!
- Good timing.

Thank you!

Here you go.

Kuwano-san, Kuwano-san..

Who was that girl just now?

She was, like, this very pretty girl..

And she gave him a ride in her car all
the way back here..

WHO?

What does it matter?

Man, what if it was his girlfriend...

That's private.

Seriously?

How many times have you said
"I don't need women?"

I never said those exact words.

I said...
"I don't want to get married."

Then that means...that girl is..

Wouldn't you like to know?

Kekkon Dekinai Otoko

Translated by Molokidan

Ehhh?
You gotta be kidding me!!

Nope, this is for real.

What kind of person is she?

I've never seen her myself, but...

I hear she's pretty amazing.

I just can't believe it.

I have no idea how things will turn
out at this rate...

Well, who cares.

No...

I have to see this for myself!!

Eh?

Welcome.

Ken-chan, thanks for waiting!

Good evening!

Kuwano-san, did you get a girlfriend?

Eh?

Ahh...if I was wrong, I understand.

I thought so.

Eiji-kun always overexaggerates..

Who said I don't have a girlfriend?

Eh?
So you really do have one?

What do you mean by the term
"girlfriend," anyway?

Well, I just want you to answer my question...

Do you really have one?

'sup.

What is it?

And this is..

My neighbor.

Well then...I'll leave you two alone.

Ken-chan, Ken-chan!!

Alright,
Now what are you doing here?

Nakagawa-san gave me directions.

And?

This Sunday...wanna go out with me?

Eh?
You must be lying.

That's what I thought too!

But the truth is, she's a pretty girl!

Young?

Younger than me, if I'm not mistaken.

Young, huh...

What kind of person?

Ahhh, I'm not really sure...

Kuwano-san...said he had no interest in
love, didn't he?

According to Eiji-kun...

All Kuwano-san said was that he doesn't want
to get married, but is interested in love.

Is that so?

Well, isn't that good for him.

But...for some reason, I just can't take it.

Why?

While I'm over here driving myself crazy
trying to find a good person,

The truth is that Kuwano-san's had a girlfriend
all along...isn't that mortifying?

How could we be beaten by Kuwano-san,
of all people?!

Well, is the kind of person that
surprises others often.

I wonder how he got her?

That doesn't interest you?

Not a bit.

And what if...all of a sudden,
they got married?!

Something's wrong.

Or should I use it after all?

Kaneda!

Hello.

Good afternoon.

But I wanna go to barbecue!

- For stamina?
- Yeah, yeah, that's exactly it!!

She's the one!!

Are they fighting?

Or is he breaking up with her?

Ah, she's crying!

That's terrible!

Alright, I get it.

If that's the case, then I'll pretend in
front of your ex for you.

Please do.

So you really were having problems.

But why me?

You could've asked Nakagawa.

Earlier, I had planned to.

But then, "that" happened.

But more than that, I'd simply
rather be seen with Kuwano-san.

It's him.

Hello?

Yep, I'm waiting...

...here with my new boyfriend.

Move your ass already!

What's that all of a sudden?

Hello?

What the hell..

So he's coming?

He said it was too troublesome, so
he'd break up with me.

He was so nervous as he said that,
the coward.

That so?

Well, in any case, you should be glad.

I thought this would really happen, so I
wanted to go somewhere with Kuwano-san.

Now they're laughing!!

Maybe they show love through arguing?

Wait, what are we doing?

Let's go.

Hold on a second!

Damn mosquito.

Thank you very much.

Well, take care.

That's weird.
Like we'll never see each other again.

I've got to keep searching for new love.

Later.

"Love"?

Hey, let's do a group date!

Why are you suddenly asking me that?

I just...feel that I can't go on any
longer like this.

You're really that motivated by Kuwano-san?

Huh?

Ken-chan?

Huh?

Is something wrong?

Ken-chan, what are you doing?

HELLO?!

I've been forgotten, haven't I?

We'll see each other again, right?
Give me a call.
