Good for Nothing Page #2

---

already have a refrigerator.

So what?

You just want to impress them?

That nonsense is the reason I have to

sweat all day at the office?

You're being unfair!

I just hoped that

when you come home tired,

I'd be able to serve you a cold beer.

It's already starting to get hot.

That's why I wanted it so much.

You still don't understand.

That's just being wasteful.

You need to think ahead.

You don't know how

I have to suffer every day.

- You only think of yourself.

- Idiot!

How harsh.

You're a bit of a tyrant today.

You don't know

how it feels to be poorly paid.

I know, but remember

that I also work every day.

That's no reason to

take it out on Hisako.

And Hisako,

you love my brother don't you?

Why all the arguments?

He's too selfish.

I'll return the refrigerator tomorrow.

Good riddance.

You don't need to return it.

I can pay for part of it.

Come on, let's eat. I'm starving.

Not eating?

It seems that the life

of a salaryman is pretty good.

As soon as you get home,

you do a crossword puzzle,

or you argue.

You'll become like this too.

I absolutely will not.

You think so? I also thought that.

Then one day,

you're stuck in your routine.

So... "hold"...

"hope"...

"kebabs"...

"grill"?

So... you wanna go out?

To do what?

Well...

To have dinner somewhere.

- And go see a movie.

- Mr. Shinohara,

you think that's a fun plan?

- Very fun.

- Really?

You have nothing better

to do after a hard day's work

than to try your luck

with every girl at the office.

Am I right?

- You knew.

- Of course.

They all talk about it.

But I feel sorry about

this way of killing time.

You're a funny girl,

not like they say.

Yes, they all say that

I'm not easy to get along with.

But it's just the opposite.

I like you, so...

If you really...

I'd like to apologize for the other day.

- Would you like to get in?

- No thanks.

Don't say you won't get in.

Or else I'll have a problem.

- Why is that?

- Akiyama.

He insists that you come.

- He's having a party.

- I won't go.

I have no time to waste with bad boys.

Don't be so spiteful.

- Get in...

- Hey you!

This lady has a date with me. Get lost.

- What manners...

- I was here first.

- Goodbye.

- Hey...

Wanna go out?

I'll take you to a restaruant.

You really have no manners...

You wouldn't have come otherwise.

I didn't say that.

That guy was really pushy.

You came at a good time.

Will you take me home?

I'll take you to the party.

I don't want to. Leave me alone.

We need you to come.

It's not like I can

go to a party in this dress.

What nonsense.

What's this dress?

I borrowed it for you.

How cheeky you are!

It's "cheeky" now?

That's better than last time.

Last time,

you called me a good for nothing.

Oh yeah. Good for nothing

really suits you best.

Hey, can we stop by my place?

No way. We need you to come.

You don't trust me. I'll go,

but I need to go home and prepare.

Women are so complicated.

Come on, you can change here.

- Here?

- We come here with Akiyama.

- Is the back room empty?

- Yes.

You can change in the other room.

You guys loaf about

in a place like this?

- Tragic youth.

- We're not tragic youth.

Hurry up and get changed.

- What's with the girl?

- Taking her to a party.

- You shouldn't bother.

- There's money to win tonight.

Money? How?

Akiyama pays for the

party and we collect money.

And that girl ends up cheated?

She's not the type

who's easily cheated.

So she's your girlfriend?

I have nothing to do with her.

Akiyama invited her.

I forgot.

You're not interested in girls.

I'm not interested in anything.

This is no good, see?

It's not my size.

You look great.

I should tell you now,

so there's no misunderstanding...

I didn't come because of you tonight.

I came because

I was in a bad mood, get it?

- This party seems rather expensive.

- It's important that you enjoy it.

- This dance is boring!

- I'm okay with it.

That's ridiculous.

I keep telling you that it's boring.

- So why did you come?

- I'm easygoing, just like you.

- Girls are no fun.

- It's the same with boys.

Yes, you're right.

Humans are no fun.

- I'm getting sleepy.

- I wish you were more romantic.

You're putting me to sleep.

I don't want anything big,

just a little piece of paradise.

I'm sure that you'll get it.

- A little two-bedroom, 4000 yen.

- Great.

In life, you must be

happy with what you have.

- This party seems rather expensive.

- Why do you keep saying that?

It's important that you enjoy it.

I've prepared a surprise

for you this evening.

Someone that Jun will bring soon.

Who?

A guest of Akiyama,

can't be anyone special.

Oh really?

Get ready to welcome a great chanteuse.

What's her name?

- Ikuko Makino.

- I'm not familiar with that name.

She just returned from France.

She's not really big in Japan yet.

But over there, she performs

in the cabarets and music halls.

- Was she there very long?

- About four years.

You'll be amazed. Grco, Montand...

- She knew them very well.

- What? Montand?

This may be the

first time she sings in Japan.

- Isn't it wonderful?

- Jun is running late...

- He might have been stood up.

- He's not that dumb.

She must be getting dressed up.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I would have brought Takako.

She loves French songs.

- What are you talking about?

- Ikuko Makino, the chanteuse.

You going to request a song?

I wouldn't know what to do.

Yeah, that would be dumb. Hey, Toshio?

You should make a request. Please.

- They're expecting you.

- A lot of people?

Not many. It won't even cover costs.

Wait a minute. I'll get Akiyama.

He's the one who tried

to take my money in the car.

Yeah, he's the type that would do that.

What about you?

Me? I'm not that different.

I see. That's why

you're so tight with them.

How can you demean yourself like that?

Thanks for coming. I was losing hope.

Tonight, I hang out with the bad boys.

You look beautiful. Follow me.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

On this special evening,

we have the honor to host...

Miss Ikuko Makino.

- Is this a joke?

- We applaud your arrival.

- So, you know Montand?

- Grco always dresses in black?

- What is this, Toshio?

- I couldn't keep it a secret.

They say that you

spent four years in Paris.

We really want you to sing.

Please!

Is it okay, Toshio?

If it's okay with her.

- Please? A song?

- Yes, please.

- What will you sing?

- "La Vie en Rose"

- "Autumn Leaves"

- A new one?

Let's go. Come on.

- Oh, a black out!

- I don't like this.

- It's fine with me that it's all dark!

- Don't take advantage!

Get in.

Son of a b*tch! Is this a bad joke?

- Who turned the table over?

- They're playing stupid games!

Turn the lights on, quick!

My dress got wet.

Who's responsible for this farce?

- This party is worthless!

- Idiot!

You can see that the party's over.

Jun was responsible for this.

What a funny guy.

There are limits when

it comes to practical jokes.

- It's despicable.
