Cutie and the Boxer

Gyu-chan...

- It's your birthday.

- Huh?

Damn... I'm finally 80 years old.

- You wearing those?

- No, these are for you!

Oh. What a surprising birthday present.

Look at these ducks.

Quack, quack.

Where are the candles?

We don't have 80 candles.

- We only have a "three."

- Three is fine.

You have to blow it out.

You have cake all over your face.

I really don't care!

I don't listen to you.

That's how I... keep young.

It's nothing to do with you turning 80.

You've never listened.

So isn't it about time you listened?

Here you go. Let's go.

Here, let's go.

We've got water dripping

into our bedroom from the third floor.

I'll bring it up to here.

Just a minute.

All right.

It's like Niagara Falls.

OK. Let's go.

You know we haven't paid this month's

rent? Landlord sent us a bill.

And we need to pay utilities

or they will shut them off.

How much do we need?

Too scary to think about...

$1,000.

The rent plus $1,000.

That would be enough for a while.

OK. We're here. Let's go.

Open sesame.

Boom.

OK, go ahead.

- You don't have to hold it.

- No, no, we have to do it together.

Remove the one underneath.

Pull more. A little more.

I'm putting everything

into my next show.

Maybe I can sell. I have to sell.

This cardboard motorcycle is my pride.

My pride and a chance...

to show everyone.

With this show, my reputation

is going to go like:

Bam!

- The headlight is too big.

- The headlight?

- Maybe we should redo it.

- Too big? It's too late.

You can't tell what it is.

I guess after painting,

it will look more like something.

Yeah.

I'm not his assistant.

It's better I make mine... my work.

But sometimes I help

because it's an emergency.

Because I'm husband!

You are so pitiful.

Be careful.

Don't get mugged on the way home.

I'm sure you can tell Noriko

doesn't really want to help.

She is just an assistant.

The average one

has to support the genius.

That's what I think.

It's done.

Big Blue's defense

step it up again.

Look at that big sack

by Justin Tuck

on the Giants' 7-yard line.

Gyu-chan! Dinner is ready.

This red snapper is delicious.

But it's so cheap.

My cooking is expensive.

Yeah.

This would cost ten times more

in a restaurant.

It's like you get to eat

in an expensive restaurant every day.

What's the problem?

I've spent a lot

of time on this meal

and the way you

gobble it up is so gross.

That's why I hate eating together.

I made it all pretty

but you quickly make a big mess.

This soup is excellent.

Do you know the correct way

to eat a cherry tomato?

Tomato?

Look what happens

when you do it the wrong way.

OK, didn't come out this time.

What the hell are you doing?

You should just

throw it up and catch it.

- You should try.

- I can't.

OK, I'll give it a go.

Go ahead.

There's no way you can do it.

I almost had it.

I'm hopeless.

I give up.

You did it.

Remember in Spielberg's movie?

I think it was Raiders of the

Lost Ark...

I don't remember.

There's a scene where they poison food

like this and someone's about to eat it.

But right then, this monkey grabs it

and eats it and it dies.

But the Spielberg film

we saw the other day was horrible.

You mean the last Indiana Jones?

Yeah. It sucked.

Are you sure it was Spielberg?

Yeah, he's done. He's too old.

I love Jaws.

Jaws was the best.

You always say

the first work is the best.

Yeah. Young Spielberg.

But you could say the same for artists,

their first work is always the best.

Yeah, I guess.

It's the later work

where things get tough.

So if that's the case,

there is no hope.

Why continue?

Does it fit?

Yeah, it does. It does.

No, it won't fit.

- What's wrong?

- It's bent there.

OK, there it goes.

I got it. Nut, nut, nut.

Gyu-chan, hold the other side.

I need a nut!

Right, right, right.

Little more, little more.

This show in New York

which we call

"Shinohara:

Wham! Pow! Vroom!"

is the idea of action

and also "Vroom!"

for his motorcycle,

because Shinohara has been

making sculpture, you know,

since the beginning

of his artistic career.

He's been famous

for, you know, years.

But now is maybe

one of his key moments.

In the 1960s,

a Japanese painter

came to New York

seeking to create art

that would reflect the city's

prosperity and chaos.

This artist is Ushio Shinohara.

Early morning in SoHo:

cardboard has been discarded

in the streets,

and by walking a couple

of blocks from his loft,

Shinohara can collect all

he needs for his day's work.

At the moment, he is preparing

a new sculpture

using great amounts

of cardboard

while his wife, Noriko,

works on her own paintings.

As a young man in Tokyo,

he emerged as a leader

in Japan's

avant-garde art movement

with his imitation

of American pop art

and action painting.

The quality

of Ushio Shinohara's art

is, to say the least,

in some doubt,

but it does illustrate

the rather frenetic spirit

of rebellion

among some young people--

and not only in Japan,

throughout the world.

When he arrived

in the United States,

he was at once in the limelight

of the mass media.

It is said Shinohara

is the most famous

of the poor and struggling

artists in New York.

While his works

are exhibited across Japan,

American collectors often say,

"That's a wonderful image

but not my taste,"

so most of Shinohara's pieces

have never sold.

What do you think of my opening?

It hasn't even started yet.

I'm nervous.

- Like, "Will they sell?"

- You don't sell at an opening.

You never know.

I'm tired.

- Why

- Huh?

- I'm tired from preparing for today.

- I'm not tired at all.

Of course, this is your event.

It's not my show,

so I just get frustrated.

Come on, give me a break.

Really, what's most important

is that moment when he created

the painting.

This is a result,

but--and a beautiful result--

but also it's the action,

so that's where--

the energy is in there.

- You've met Ushio.

- Nice to meet you again.

Pleasure seeing you.

This is wonderful.

And he also made this

extraordinary new sculpture.

This is my main work.
