Fallen Angels Page #4

I watched them

over and over again.

Watching dad cooking

made me very happy.

I know I'll never taste

his steaks again...

...but I'll never forget

just how they tasted.

Oh, hell, it's you again

Not the hair Leave it...

I'm happy to be your client.

Did I ever refuse?

I didn't, did I?

Just look at me

Let go of me...

My wife's visiting China...

...and I've some business

to attend to.

Give me three hours and

I'll be back.

Three hours, okay?

Three hours...

Two hours?

Two hours and I'll be back. Deal?

Trust me. We're old friends,

aren't we?

People cross all the time.

Two hours...

Trust me, you have my word

We're like brothers, right?

You want it written in blood?

You're kidding, right?

Leave it out...

Just one hour, okay?

Don't do this...

have mercy... Wait...

Can I have some

small change, please?

Thanks.

I'm downstairs already.

I'm waiting for you. 'Bye.

Talk about bad timing...

Shortly after dad died,

Sato-san returned to Japan.

I haven't got much money saved...

...so I can only do what I'm

best at - being my own boss.

I'm being very cautious this time.

I pick only the stronger ones.

Ones that won't get hurt easily.

Take this one for example.

Guts of steel.

Saves a lot of hassle.

Sometimes I run into

old acquaintances.

Some haven't changed at all.

Others I hardly recognise.

I'm always glad to see them...

...even though they may not

remember me.

Of course, there are some

exceptions to the rule.

On August 29th, 1995...

...I ran into my first love again.

I don't think she recognised me.

I guess I'm more handsome now.

- You're late.

- Sorry.

- What's up with him?

- I've no idea.

It turned quite cold that evening.

I hadn't expected winter

to come so soon.

I'm not used to this

kind ofweather.

It seems to have been

a long winter.

Although I eat well every day...

...I still feel cold.

I've got used to working alone.

Occasionally I do work

with others...

...but not on a regular basis.

I've learnt to be more careful.

For instance, I won't work

in hotels any more.

And no more checking out

rubbish bins.

I firmly believe...

...one mustn't get emotionally

involved with one's partner.

We rub shoulders with many

people every day.

Some may become close friends,

or confidants.

That's why I'm always optimistic.

Sometimes it hurts.

Not to worry -

I try to stay happy.

That night,

I saw that woman again.

I knew we'd never be friends

or confidants...

...we'd let too many chances

pass us by.

Nothing happened,

there was no chemistry.

Maybe it was the weather...

...but that night

I found her very alluring.

I'm about to leave,

I ask him to take me home.

I haven't ridden pillion

for a long time...

...nor have I been this close

to a man in ages.

The road home isn't very long...

...and I know I'll be

getting off soon.

But at this moment, I'm feeling

such lovely warmth.
