Oh, hello

Oh, I see it

Want some gum?

I'm fine

Do you do this to your wife?

Do me like you do your wife

Call your wife's name

Can't we just lie down?

Call her name

Sa... Satoko!

Hey!

"The breeze blows,

"a letter arrives

"I'm happier

"than anyone else

"Please don't go

"Stay in my arms

"forever and ever"

Hello

Hello

I'm Kanna

It's all right, I'll be nice

What do you like?

Tell me, tell me, anything!

Hello

Hello

I'm really sorry

What, my ride already left?

I mean, how am I supposed to

get home?

What's this area called?

Sorry, I don't really know either

You don't?

But you're riding on?

Right, but I'm sure

we'll get somewhere

Right

What's your name?

You mean, Kanna?

Not your real name?

Really, I'm Noriyo, age 34

Kanna is 25

- What do you do?

- What?

What do you do?

A chef

You're a trained chef?

That's cool

Hey, should I call you

Noriyo or Kanna?

Noriyo

Cancer/Heart Disease

Ovarian Cancer

Breast Cancer

I think that my brother

probably respects you, Hitomi

What, respects?

I don't deserve that

No, I think it's great, too

That you can do something

no one else can

But you're the one

who's irreplaceable

Actually, your brother

is deeply grateful

I deserve his gratitude

for what I do for him

But life just isn't

magnetic enough

to pull someone in

I'm sure that's because

I'm just catching a ride

on his life

Hitomi

If you don't make

your own way in life,

Iife will pull

a mean trick on you

Satoko san, did

something happen?

I heard you aren't feeling well

Oh...

What!

Oh, no, you'll get better, right?

I'm sorry, Hitomi

I know you have your own troubles

Why? What about the hospital?

Surgery?

My brother's taking it hard

Will you please support him?

Hello

Sorry

A glass of water, please

I got a delivery order

just before my shift ended

Here

My sympathies

Minagawa Hitomi

What is this?

What do you mean, what?

What did you say to get this?

Are we investing our time

and effort in sympathy money?

You're supposed to marry her

What's Hitomi thinking?

She's thinking properly

She's not trying to keep me

with money

Besides, your illness and surgery bit

is just revolting

It's not a joke

A joke?

What's a joke?

Nothing we've done

is even close to a joke

You like that new space, right?

The place on the river

with the Sky Tree views?

You're going to make

a cool, big counter,

buy all new fixtures and furniture

and make a really cool place

I realized you're exactly right

I stink

It's better not to work at all than

work in a mediocre ramen shop

We don't have enough

We're not even close

You're terrifying

What's that?

You make it sound like

you're not involved

Who are you doing this for?

I never said,

a word about that

Listen, what is it

you want to do?

What do you really want?

What is that question?

You don't care about our place

You do?

Of course

You liar

Just hold on

I'll tell you

What you don't have enough of

isn't money but revenge

Because you've dedicated

your whole life to me

And there's nothing you hate more

than privileged women who suit

themselves, skimming off of another

woman's husband and loving it

Deep down, you want to

torture to death

all the women

along with me,

me, who sticks my face

into their crotches

It's written all over your face

You have the best face now,

of all

the time you've been with me

Thanks

It's 6 already

What's going on!

I don't know

If that's what you think,

that's fine with me

We're happiest when

our customers

trust us with their problems

Interest rates from

J ust tel I me how much

it wi I l cost

Doesn 't i nsurance cover anyth i ng?

Is it an experi mental treatment?

You thi nk the treatment's

not covered?

Insurance even covers expensive

treatments, didn't you know?

My dad's been in and out of hospitals

so I know a little about it

It's the national health plan, right?

If she's scheduled to check-in,

apply to the plan's committee

They can issue you a Maximum

Coverage certificate

Show that when she checks in

and you only have to pay the co-pay

There's another system for

out of hospital treatments, too...

Sorry, I'll write it down

Who asked you for

a pompous lecture?

With major surgery, there are

all kinds of other expenses

I have to take off work

and there are other things

I can't take it anymore

It's painful for her to stand

I don't understand

your mumbo jumbo

Don't you care how I feel!

I'm sorry

Forget it, I'm going home

I'm revolted

No, wait

No, don't!

I'm going home!

Home!

No!

Stay!

Sorry

Stay back

Kanya san,

are you scared of me?

No

Did you think I'd hit you?

Do you think I'm a monster?

No, I don't

I am not a monster

I'm not a monster!

Cut it out

Cut it out

One day I noticed that

she constantly had fevers

and when she was diagnosed

it was too late

But then a doctor told us about

this brand new

treatment recently developed

in America that might help her

Sorry, did you say 3 million?

Right now, I could manage 1. 2

But that's nowhere near enough

If I work hard next month,

maybe I could manage 300, 000

I could go to a loan shark,

but my husband bled me dry

so my reputation sucks

Is 1. 2 million OK?

Will it help?

In that case, if you add up

this and this it'll be about...

Nori, is this the way

you've lived your life?

What about studying abroad?

Weren't you going to Canada?

Oh, that doesn't matter

This is this and that's that

You're sick

Maybe I am...

What?

Please stop

Really, please

Open up, b*tch

Hey!

Please stop the violence

Think of the landlord

You don't live here

Don't touch me!

Yes, I live here

What's this?

You a pervert?

Try them on, huh

Please don't

Open up!

No one is here!

Hey, Nori! If you don't get

out here, I'll strangle this prick!

Ouch, ouch, don't!

This is just a storage room

You seem fine, Nori

How did you get here?

Bullet train?

The Maserati you bought

on my credit card

Hot, hot, hot!

Close it, Ichizawa san, close it!

So you're

going to hitch up with her?

That's right

Can you really make her happy?

I plan to

Don't plan it, tell her,

tell her so she knows

Oh, well, yes

You see, I, um...

Hey, hey, both of you

Cut this out

Who's going to make me happy?

Did you make me happy?

Ichizawa san, too

Did I ask you to make me happy?

I'm already happy now

It's not much but I'm standing

on my own two feet

If I've settled for my own life,

I don't need anyone praising me

So,

I'm sorry I ran away

But, please let me go

Hey, Satoko

You'll catch cold

The alarm...

Wow

I see

It feels great

Oh, thank you, sir

What do you think, Mrs.?

It feels great

Can we use that, too?

Yes, the deck, too

Nice

Kafu, you've got so big

Are you 1 year old?

OK, OK, stop, stop, enough

Don't push it, don't push it

Down, down

Orthopedic Surgery Ward

I'm really fine

This wound won't affect

my daily life

I guess

deep down, I was looking

for an excuse to quit

I won't lift 140 kilos anymore
