A Bride for Rip Van Winkle Page #4

...can you hear me?

Are you there?

Do you need any cleaning done?

I'm alright, thanks.

Please call us if you need anything.

Excuse me?

Yes?

I'm looking for a job...

Now just like I told you, see these sheets?

This makes the bed bulky.

Align the two together.

- Got it?

- Yes.

Okay, then.

This comes next.

- Are you ok?

- I'm fine.

It's dusty, I know.

Align the centers.

Never stops, does it?

Do you know what 'when' means?

It means 'time.'

That's right.

But this time, it's used a little differently.

For example, "it was raining when I got up."

Did you catch a cold?

What?

You seem tired.

You think so?

I'm alright.

I see you're still alive.

It's me.

- I'm sorry to worry you.

- Not at all.

Are you hungry?

Thank you so much.

I really feel for you.

Thank you.

By the way...

That man you met is a relationship destroyer.

A what?

They approach you with sexual intentions...

...all in order to split up the couple.

You were played for a fool.

They break up relationships...

I didn't know there was such a thing.

Everything is free game.

What about the yearbook picture?

That's all simple enough to make.

The question is who planted it?

Was it that man? Or your husband?

Or perhaps your mother-in-law?

My in-laws?

She's the one behind all this.

And now, onto the main topic.

Main topic?

Hold on a second.

What you asked me to investigate.

The report about your husband's infidelity.

Was he?

Don't be so hasty.

This is the truth.

What is this?

It's exactly how it looks.

Mother and son are having dinner.

His mother had been coming

to Tokyo twice a week...

...staying at hotels all around the city.

But what for?

Just to visit her son.

What?

Didn't your husband eat out about twice a week?

A textbook Oedipal complex.

Are you glad it wasn't an affair?

She visited your home too,

when you weren't there.

I can't say for sure...

...but she could have planted the yearbook...

...and the earrings.

It might not be my place...

...but maybe this was for the better.

It'll be easier that way.

Why...

Why me...

Why did this family...

Damn it...

Damn them!

Damn...

Damn it.

Damn it.

God damn it.

God damn it.

Those idiots.

Those idiots...

Those stupid idiots.

Stupid idiots...

- About the payment...

- Yes?

Could you please wait?

Of course. You're Ramba Ral's friend.

Thank you very much.

Let me know if I can help.

I Will.

Oh, right!

This hotel is $42/night, right?

Yes.

So that's $1 ,260/month.

Isn't that expensive?

You can find a decent room

around here for $300.

Did you know?

- Is that true?

- Of course.

Is that right.

- Hotels are expensive.

- They are.

- I didn't realize it.

- Are you okay?

I feel downright crippled.

You don't have to worry.

I know people who are really like that.

So you're fine.

You're nothing like them.

Also on Sundays, when you aren't working...

I have a job this Sunday, if you're interested.

Thank you very much.

- I'm available!

- Great.

What is the job?

Excuse me.

Everyone, your attention please!

Listen up, please!

The papers I gave you

are your profiles for today.

Please memorize it.

Please look at the family tree.

The name in red is you.

Does everyone see that?

- Yes.

- Good.

Those who are relatives,

please talk with each other.

Family, siblings, friends...

It'll be a disaster if you look like strangers.

Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you.

I'll be playing Kenjiro Kikkawa.

My name is Kazuaki Gocho.

The symbols are 'cow' and 'stomach.'

That's quite a name!

And it's a great name.

But it'll get confusing so...

Yes, let's go by our roles.

Let's do that.

Now then, introduce yourself.

I'm Kenjiro Kikkawa. Nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Katsuyo Kikkawa.

That's great.

I'm Kiyomi, the eldest daughter.

I'm Kasumi, her sister.

Hi there, Kasumi.

I'm Yusuke.

Today, you are a family.

Family, family. You're a family now!

Get to know each other, remember to talk.

You're family now.

Hey, sister.

Hey brother...

...father, mother...

...it's a pleasure to meet you.

Please welcome the newlyweds!

Please welcome them with your applause.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Did you go to the realtors?

Not yet.

Let's go together.

I have a friend in real estate.

- Does the same area work?

- Yes.

Oh...right.

I didn't really live there by choice.

You just ended up there.

Yes.

It was fate.

We'll talk later.

Have you done this before?

What do you think?

That's all I can say.

Wow!

This is great.

The groom is polygamous.

What does that mean?

It means he already has another family.

Multiple marriages.

Isn't that illegal?

Of course it's illegal!

Unbelievable.

It's incredible.

Maybe he couldn't tell her the truth...

...so he had no choice but to get married.

Why are you laughing?

Those with cameras or phones...

...please come forward

for a great photo opportunity!

And now, the cutting of the cake!

Congrats!

Look at us.

That was so nerve wracking!

Added years to my age.

How can you keep laughing?

His nerves are letting out.

What do you say we all go out for a drink?

Let's go!

Go go!

Do you know a place?

I know a place nearby.

Why don't we try that?

It's strange, though.

It feels like we're a real family.

I know, it's very strange.

What about your real family?

Actually, I'm a bachelor.

Seriously?

Divorced?

I never married.

Me neither.

Are you serious?

What were you two doing until now?

What do you do for work, Kiyomi?

Me?

I'm actually a real actress.

But 10 years an actress with no hits.

What have you been in?

Boring jobs here and there.

What about you?

I'm just getting by working part-time jobs.

Aren't we all.

Yeah.

Here's your drink.

Finally, it arrives!

Time for a toast!

Cheers!

Who let her drink so much?

I was nervous!

My station is over there.

Me too.

You're kidding!

So this is goodbye?

Come home with me.

Daddy!

Daughter!

- It was great meeting you.

- Thank you.

It's like we're a real family.

- Goodbye, then.

- Let's meet again.

Be careful going home, okay?

See you!

I'm going this way, too.

Where do you live, Kiyomi?

We're off the clock,

so let's stop calling me that.

You're right.

I'm Mashiro Satonaka.

Ms. Satonaka.

- Call me Mashiro.

- Okay.

I'm Nanami Minagawa.

What should I call you, Ms. Nanami Minagawa?

You can call me either.

Then, I choose Minagawa.

Never mind! Nanami!

Do you use Twitter?

How about Line?

I use Planet.

One of the minor leagues.

Let's share contacts.

- So you're "Campanella"?

- Yes.

Do you want to grab another drink?

Count me in!

Off we go, then!

- You're in a good mood.

- You bet I am!

"Like a bad dream..."

"Time whispers by..."

"And now I am alone..."

"And still in my room is your..."

"Very own Charlie Parker..."

"Did you forget I'm here..."

Here you go.

Singing like a star!

It's your turn next.

Would you like to try?

Should I?

- What do you think?

- Please do.

"Last night's blizzard..."

"Has danced and danced..."
