I'm a serious Astrologist.

I don't hold hands to read palms.

I'm not here to be harassed.

Go away.

I have this little problem.

What is it?

Aging.

Aging?

The problem with aging...

What star sign are you?

Oh, I'm hardly a star,

I'm from nowhere...

Get lost.

I'm worried...

about premature aging.

I get wasted on 3 drinks

and buy up lottery tickets...

About your little problem.

Can you still get it up?

You're fine.

I'm the one worried...

...about aging.

I'm starting to sag a little.

Know what I mean?

Getting up in the morning

is a real drag...

Starting to feel my age...

Don't you worry.

You're still really hot.

If you can be such a sweetheart...

...why didn't you just seduce me?

Man, you're moody.

How to deal with my

many moods...

For your pension plan.

Wow, so much?

Hey!

I figured out your sign.

You're a Chameleon.

"CHAMELEON"

The moment we've

all been waiting for.

Here come the bride and the groom.

Please give them a warm welcome!

No way. The guy's super hot.

Unbelievable.

With that old bag?

For her daddy's money.

- A gigolo

- Her whole family's tacky.

Which is what bring us here.

The honorable father of the bride,

Midorikawa Hisanori...

...is the fabled inheritor

from Tokyo...

Investor.

The fabled investor,

and his daughter, Yukie...

...while serving for many years.

...as her father's accomplice...

Accountant.

Accountant...

...drove her beloved Jaguar,

and traveled the world...

I'm Sakai Kenzo...

Marketing Director,

Yamamura Trading.

About the bridegroom,

Harukawa Kosuke.

Although losing his parents

and orphaned in this world...

...he has matured into

a fine citizen...

...distinguishing himself in my...

Now it's time to cut

the wedding cake...

Just a minute.

Come closer, everybody.

You in the back, hurry up!

Still ordering us around...

May the happy couple

launch their love...

Not so fast!

Wedding cake, darn!

Turn on the lights!

Harukawa, if you

can afford all this crap...

...you can sure pay me back, now!

Hey! Lights on, now!

Please, not here.

Just who are you?

I'll tell you.

I have the singular honor of

representing the Kikuei Clan.

Harukawa here, is a moron...

...who borrowed 5 million yen

from our loan shark operation...

...without paying back

a yen of interest!

I'll pay you, I will!

Just go home...

Shut up! Hurry up and pay!

Daddy!

Dear...

Harukawa! How stupid can you be,

borrowing money from a gang!

I have no use for

an employee like you!

Noriko, we're going home.

Sakai, fire Harukawa!

Right! Your judgment is correct.

Sir, are you really going home?

Madam!

Sir!

Kosuke, you can't let this happen!

Dear guests, please remain calm.

As long as their love is strong...

Who asked you!

You can't even keep your

insults consistent!

Darn!

Please, stop!

Darn you!

- Don't touch her!

- Let go, pay up!

Stop!

Stupid!

That's enough!

Get outside!

Don't worry, everyone.

Come out!

Sure, Daddy, I loaned Kosuke money.

But that was because I knew

how much he relied on me.

His love for me was so pure

he barely held my hand...

You're the one that's too pure!

You're not legally married yet.

Who knows how much

they'll blackmail him for.

Take all the cash wedding gifts

as your severance pay!

I'm very sorry.

My apologies.

I detested you from the start!

You're a lowlife that

stinks like rotten fish!

Go away.

Now!

- Nice job

- Nice job.

Here's our "severance pay"

Hey, a real stash of cash!

Idiot.

Act normal.

They're cops.

They knew.

They're not cops.

How can you tell?

Wait!

I was tricked! I was tricked!

That's not true. Please, calm down.

Let's go.

Oh, hello.

Yes, we're on for tomorrow.

Darn you!

What the heck was that about?

They didn't look like yakuza.

You're a yakuza, right?

No, you're just a thug.

Shut up.

From Yamada Miho.

10,000 Yen. Cheap guest.

Matsunaga...

Can't read it.

Nice job.

No wrap party?

My idiot Bro's waiting.

I want to drink.

Sorry, 4 hours left

on the slot machines.

Hey, Blackie!

I miss the good old days.

What?

"Loyal to None Entertainment"

Morning.

Morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Hey, Goro, did I play it

a little over the top yesterday?

Not at all.

You're always very impressive.

Good morning.

Your fee for

yesterday's performance.

Always appreciated.

That's right, we're just happy

to still have roles to play.

Thank you for yesterday, sir.

Nice job. Thanks.

Noriko san, here's yours.

Thanks.

The breakdown on yesterday's take...

...was 4 million yen in cash gifts...

...and 1.5 million for the honeymoon

and apartment rental.

Which means each of us

get 780,000 yen.

Kosuke, you're saving up, right?

Keep more for yourself,

you're the lead.

No, I get my fair share.

Now, about the next job.

Which one?

Today, I'm meeting the mark

for that wedding, next month.

The next troupe performance...

...will be at the Toyu Supermarket...

...starting at 11AM. Sorry it's early.

The Tenku Theater Troupe?

We're still negotiating

a guest appearance for you.

Sorry you have to handle

our performances.

Hey, consider me your manager.

Our manager...

Manager.

Hey, manager.

"Yamamura Theater Troupe"

Grandpa Shu...

Grandma Nori...

Grandpa Ken.

Want to take my meds?

You haven't taken any in a while.

Actually, mine ran out, too.

If you're that worried about

throat cancer...

quit smoking.

Leave me alone.

Goro.

I'm in bad shape.

Go get some medication.

That woman we're meeting

with today.

That woman? You mean, the mark.

I'm in love with her.

Let me be clear.

You mean, personally?

I'm serious, I'm in love with her.

Leave all this behind?

I thought you were saving money

to follow in your dad's footsteps.

Whatever. What about money?

Neither of us can make it

in the real world anymore.

Anymore!

Welcome.

Sorry I'm late.

I couldn't get away.

That's fine... Let me introduce...

Hello, I'm Noda Goro.

I'll be master of ceremonies at

your wedding. Congratulations.

I'm telling you the truth today.

I'm...

Actually, I suffer from depression.

I came here from a small

fishing village and found a job.

But I really struggled.

He and I met, waiting in one of...

...those long lines

at a psychiatric clinic.

You could say we're the

Depressed Dudes.

Just like today,

I always depend on Goro...

...because I can turn into...

...a different person

at a moment's notice.

Um...

No, please hear him out.

Honestly... Honestly...

I want to start over with you.

Take you with me and go back

to the sea.

Listen, I didn't know

how to tell you, either.

I kept trying to tell you

but never could.

I was never serious about us.

You seemed so serious and quiet,

I felt so bad for you.

If we go any farther,

I'll break your heart.

Sorry.

I know you paid for the dates.

Find someone terrific. Bye!

Hey wait! You conned him!

"Kinouchi Psychiatric Clinic"

Thank you.

You should wait 'til after you eat.

What's up, Jun?
