Say, excuse me...

Say...

Say, please wake up.

Excuse me...

Excuse me...

What the...

Say...

My pants...

Morning.

Where am I?

Guess we drank too much.

What is this...

Where is this?

You don't remember?

Nothing at all.

But you remember meeting me, right?

No. I'm sorry.

You don't remember!

You're serious!

What about Hokkaido?

Hokkaido...

You kept bugging me about going someplace where there's snow.

and I want to go back home.

so I promised to show you

around if you drove me.

Take the last flight north.

I remember that much clearly.

Don't tell me you don't remember.

'cause I'm totally into it.

You've got the wrong idea.

What's with you?

You're the worst when you're sober.

But a completely adorable drunk.

You shouldn't take advantage of inebriation.

What!

Get lost!

I really don't get it...

I'm so embarrassed by what you did.

I can't even open the store.

Your mother's first

memorial service is coming up.

but you'd best stay away.

But since I can't make any money

by opening up the store.

will you help me out

with the service expenses?

Welcome.

Thief!

Manager, help!

Please pay!

What the...

Hey, you!

Don't steal the merchandise.

Police! Police!

Hurry!

Will

I will die - Sawaki

Go ahead and die.

Oh, hi. Lemon? Kikuchi here.

I need you here today.

Won't see me for awhile.

Listen. I'm expecting a lot

of younger girls here.

Keep that up. I won't ask you back.

Fine, whatever.

Hitched to another loser, huh.

Just taking a trip home.

You should see your folks too,

once in awhile.

That's beside the point.

Listen, when can I expect you back?

Your tank could use

a cleaning, huh? I'm sorry.

Hello.

How dare you show up.

Might be some reporters left.

I'm sorry.

How did the press get wind of it?

I have no idea.

Guess you don't have what they call luck.

But the public's too dumb

to remember for long.

Just get lost for the duration.

Go home to Karatsu and

study those law books.

Mommy, you're late!

Hurry, we'll be late.

Wanna go with papa.

Let's go find papa.

Wanna see a movie with papa...

Listen.

I really like you, so it's really OK.

But I wonder why

you couldn't...again.

How many times now?

Listen...

You've changed since your mother died.

But I really like you, Renji-san.

so don't worry.

I'll do it myself, you watch.

What are you doing...

It won't change anything.

Please shake my hand...

Iwata,

Iwata

Your name?

Yuka.

OK. Yuka.

Iwata, right? I'm Sawaki...

How've you been?

It's me, Sawaki...

Wrong guy.

Iwata, right?

Same junior high, remember?

Sawai?

Sawaki. Sawaki.

Oh, Sawaki, hey man.

I look like him?

Your classmate.

Same class, right?

Classmates, huh...

How've you been?

Hang in there, gotta run.

That's not right...wrong guy?

Wrong guy, huh...

You jerk...

Sorry.

What a shock.

I showed up.

Are you drunk?

No, no. I came cause I wanted

to see some snowy mountains.

Really sorry.

Bet you'll just ask "who are you?"

when you sober up.

No, no. I remember

all about this morning.

Driver's license?

I've got my license. I just can't

find my passport. I'm really sorry.

Hokkaido's still Japan.

Don't need one.

That's right.

Aren't you cold?

Why don't you buy a jacket?

Don't want to possess things.

What an idiot. You'll just freeze.

No need...for your opinions either.

You are such a jerk

when you're sober.

Nor your impressions or evaluations.

The opposite of an abusive drunk.

I can pull off fitting in when I'm drunk.

I'm a fool to have thought you were

a nice guy for even a second. Unbelievable.

Why my lousy luck with men.

I've no luck with women either.

What exactly is this beverage?

120 years of Innovation

What a bunch of fools.

120 years for this?

How should I know.

What've they accomplished...

Say, doesn't this guy

look exactly like you?

Privileged bureaucrat shoplifts!

There's a resemblance.

You've got your own troubles.

Say, what's this? Sawaki what?

Your first name.

Sawaki Renji...

A striking resemblance.

A plain red handkerchief.

No tricks.

Really?

Don't Miyo...OK.

I'm stuffing the red handkerchief

into my hand.

Squeeze it in there, squeeze, squeeze.

And in an instant, the handkerchief

in my hand, moves. One, two, three!

What's that suspicious bulge

in Sawaki's crotch?

What are you up to Sawaki, hey, Sawaki.

Hello there, hello there.

Get it together, Sawaki.

Had a date with the boss' kid sister?

What are you talking about...

let's go home, Miki.

Who am I, then?

You...why you're...

She may be ugly but

she's the boss' sister.

You're the worst.

What do you mean? You're only...

What?

I know you only date me because

I work at the Ministry of Education.

That's right.

Hey.

If you don't marry me, it's over.

Hey. Hey, there.

I like younger men better anyway.

Just wait a minute.

What...that's dangerous...

I don't understand...

What the...

So dangerous...

Impotent! Oedipal!

Sure, sure...

Isn't there another road?

Why?

The monotony makes me sleepy.

It's like this everywhere.

Don't fall asleep at the wheel.

I don't want you to drag me with you.

I've got places to go.

Why should I die like a dog

in this godforsaken place?

I thought you wanted to die?

What?

What what?

Why should I die?

An accident here with some kind of

babe and the press would go crazy.

I can't do that to my father again.

I can't believe no one's

murdered you yet.

Wakes you right up.

Where did all the villagers go?

To town.

At least there are a few left.

What a pathetic way to live.

Because people like you.

went "this land, that land" and

carved it all up a long time ago.

They all left because

there's nothing left to fight for. Pathetic.

That's enough.

If you hate it so much, go home.

If I had somewhere to go, I would.

Hello.

Renji? It's dad.

Wait a sec.

What you want?

Didn't you get my message?

Money I've got won't last.

Listen, do you have any idea how

embarrassing it is?

to have the papers all over you!

I'm askin' you not go et upset.

They'll all forget.

You fool! Your life's finished.

If you think a public disgrace like

yourself can show your face around here

you've got another thing coming!

How do you think I feel!

A little sympathy wouldn't hurt.

Where are you from?

Beats this place.

Where?

Saga.

Saga...

Where's Saga again?

In Kyushu, of course.

Kyushu, huh...

Who's grave is that?

Some drunk's.

If he was a drunk,

at least he wasn't evil.

The idiot died half-buried in snow,

right in front of the house.

Yes, hello, hello...

Kept you waiting.

Why the sparklers?

A present.

Sparklers do for presents

in Hokkaido, huh.

Unbelievable.

What's beyond those mountains?

Hokkaido.

I hate this landscape...

Will you stop, please?

Sure.

Crow, why do you cry?

Because crow has

seven sweet babies

in the mountains

Sweet, sweet.

cries the crow

Sweet, sweet...

I don't want this little one
