so one should stay away.

l said l wasn't interested.

He said, ''Just have a look,

no problem with looking.''

So he took me along with him.

First time l saw geisha.

They were so beautiful.

But the exquisite Takao

was like nothing l'd ever seen.

More elegant than a painting.

Completely unlike a human being.

Said l'd like her to serve me,

and my friends laughed.

Told me she was for the

highest classes,

so l should give up dreaming.

l decided to buy a painting of her.

From then on, she was always

before my eyes.

When l picked up my brush

l saw Takao.

l even saw her in the rice l ate.

l saw Takao in everything.

Even when l'm talking here...

Mister,

you're being a fool.

This bald guy looks like her?

Right then, l remembered.

This is my love story.

l'll set you up with her.

Whatcha reading?

The C-c...

Catcher in the Rye?

Something like that.

Doesn't suit you.

Hey,

heard of psychometry?

Sugihara, right?

How - ?

l read it.

And, a strong fighter.

Right?

l wonder.

Basketball.

What? H-how did you?

Tell you later.

Later?

Let's take off.

Crowded, noisy,

and boring, right?

Hey.

You read that too?

l don't know you, but should l?

You're too polite.

Hey...

What's that?

Cool.

Thanks.

Haven't been here since

marching practice.

What are you listening to?

Ra-, ra-p.

Japanese?

Maybe.

What kind of music do you like?

Lotsa stuff. But not Japanese music.

Why?

l wonder.

Don't like it either.

Why?

l wonder.

We're the same. Like movies?

Yeah, action movies.

l like Fellini's La Strada,

The Shining,

and As Good As lt Gets, Magnolia,

um, Enter the Dragon and...

l saw that one three times!

See Fists of Fury?

No.

lt's so cool. Lend it next time.

Next time?

What do you wanna be?

Doctor or lawyer.

Wow.

But that's impossible so,

l might do something

totally different.

Guys l know say they'll be famous.

Just to impress you.

How about you?

l'll be Jean Claude Van Damme.

Your pronunciation sucks.

Sorry.

Tell me your name?

Who cares about names.

Um...

Sakurai.

Won't tell you my first name. Hate it.

Miss Sakurai.

l'm Sugihara.

l know. l read it.

But couldn't read your first name.

Won't tell you. Hate it.

Yeah, who cares.

No way.

Huh?

You see that?

Falling star?

Never been so embarrassed.

Why?

A falling star!

Can't see a falling star with a guy.

Maybe.

lt's true.

l wonder.

So embarrassing.

Totally caught off-guard.

Hey, l saw your panties.

You wish for something?

Don't tell anybody, it's our secret.

OK.

Busy on Sundays?

l meet my friends.

Got a girlfriend?

No girlfriend.

l hate liars.

Sorry.

As l thought.

This is...

traditional

comedy.

Lied before.

Lot l didn't tell her yet,

but there were no more lies.

Go ahead of me.

Want to see you jump.

As you wish.

Jumped back then too.

Call me.

Shouldn't she wave goodbye?

C'mon, let's go.

Really?

Seems mom hasn't come back.

Dad taught me how to box

since grade 4.

Extend your left arm, kid.

Now make a circle.

Good.

You're as big a man as the circle,

...you made with your fist.

Understand, kid?

ln the circle,

basically you're safe

as far as you can reach.

What do you think?

Uncool.

That's boxing,

break through with your fist,

and take from the outside.

Lots of tough guys outside.

They come inside your circle.

Hurts to hit or get hit.

Still wanna box?

Safe inside the circle.

l'll box.

Alright.

Told you it wasn't a good idea.

Like rain falling from heaven.

Huh?

Wonder if heaven's a nice country.

Alright!

What's that?

Spanish.

Wanted to be a Spaniard

a long time ago.

What's the point?

Find out yourself.

Dad.

Hey, go for a run, will ya?

Make up with her.

Look stupid running like that.

Two weeks later,

they went to Spain,

country of passion.

Thanks, man.

How was it?

l like the sick insect story.

And the rotten tofu one.

Vinegar Tofu?

Thought so.

This is Jong-il.

The guy l respect the most.

Got me into comedy.

(Bastard! l'll kill you!)

(What happened?)

(This guy...)

(This guy...)

(...is going to Japanese school.)

(ls this true?)

(Yes.)

(lt's a good thing.)

(You'll know the truth about

the mother country,)

(enter Japanese society,

and be an ambassador)

(for your compatriots...)

(l won't forgive you!)

(Please stop.)

(Stand up!)

(Traitor to the race!)

(Betrayer of your country!)

We never had a country!

(Try and say that again.)

We never had a country.

Never forgot what Jong-il said,

and how he saved me.

Going to enter university?

Still thinking.

But not looking for work.

Why?

Can't be president.

Don't even have a chance.

Just get eaten up by the system.

A nightmare!

Why not think about it

in university?

Waste of time.

You should live a wasteful life.

You're already off track.

Eat up, young men.

Let's eat.

Hey, what part of the pig is this?

(Testicle.)

B-ball...

Fool.

This guy may look like a

real geek, but,

he's the genius of the school.

Hey.

Really?

Um,

the name again?

Jong-il.

Jong-il, Jong-il.

Mother's Japanese and

father's Korean.

Not Japanese school?

That's what makes him so cool.

He wants to teach

at North Korean school.

To his future followers.

Wow, that's really great.

lsn't he cool?

No big deal, really.

My dream is to do comedy.

Yeah, the coolest Zainichi.

You do comedy?

And...

The master here?

Shut up!

l mean, if this guy

becomes a teacher,

the North Korean school will change.

Like a sudden variation in DNA.

No, like l saw on TV,

by tracing Japanese DNA,

of a mother,

grandmother, great grandma

and further,

many go back to China or Korea.

And by going way, way,

way, way back...

we go back to monkeys

200,000 years ago.

And going way, way back...

Sorry, what are we talking about?

Got out of hand.

No, l know what you meant.

My sister wants to go

to Japanese school.

What grade?

Grade 9

Next year.

l'm worried.

Not strong like you.

Give me some advice?

Anytime.

Oh yeah, read this.

Works of William Shakespeare

Got traditional comedy characters?

No, but read it. lt's cool stuff.

Why the Parliament?

Why?

No.

Just a strange place

to meet for a date.

Only one so you can't miss it.

l see.

And it's cool too.

Really?

OK, let's go.

1 ,2,3,4,

5,6,7,8,9,

What?

After 9 steps polar bears step back.

No way.

1 ,2,3,4,5,6,

7,8,9,

lt's true. Why?

To keep calm.

So they don't lose control

in their small pen.

1 ,2,3,4,

5,6,

That was 7 now.

Odd numbers are OK.

You said 9.

Forget it, next.

Since then, l met Sakurai

on Saturdays.

That was - 1 - now.

At that time, Kato got suspended

for doing drugs.

A lady! A lady!

lt's a deer! Deer!

Wonsu got caught at class.

(How do l say) ''get me a porno mag''?

(Please buy me an adult magazine.)

That just doesn't sound right,

so l said ''get me a porno mag''!

Mom met a famous actor.

l'm your fan.

lt's really you, Yasu?

Love your movies.

Just private...

Have some milk, Keep you fit.

And with mom coming and going,

lots was going on.
