Norwegian Wood Page #2

---

That's what I'm looking for.

I'm not sure that has anything

to do with love.

It does.

I want the man to say,

"You're right, Midori. It's my fault. "

I have all the intelligence and

sensitivity of a donkey.

To apologise,

I'll get you something else.

What would you like?

Chocolate mousse? Cheesecake?

Then what?

Then I'll love him.

- Tired?

- It's not that.

It's just been a while

since I let myself relax completely.

I'm dating someone else.

Somehow, I knew that.

Do you love someone?

I do.

My doctor says it's time I began

having contact with people.

The only face I see is yours.

And there are some things that

I need to explain to you.

I can no longer avoid them.

It's almost four months

since I came here.

I've thought a lot about you

in that time.

I can sense the good feelings

you have for me.

They make me very happy.

If I have left a wound

inside you,

it is not just your wound

but mine as well.

If you stay on this road,

Dr Ishida will greet you.

Yes, I see. Thank you.

You must be Watanabe.

Call me Reiko.

Hello. Are you Naoko's doctor?

Naoko's doctor? Why?

He told me Dr Ishida

would greet me.

Oh, I see.

I teach music here,

so some people call me "Doctor".

But I'm just another patient here.

I've been here seven years.

Come in.

What a nice room.

My dorm room only has

a ceiling and a window.

I see. You sleep there, OK?

Of course.

Naoko and I have to work in the garden.

Do you mind waiting here?

Not at all.

I'll study my German

I have an exam next week.

Also, you're not allowed

to be alone with Naoko here.

You always have to be

with a chaperone.

That would be me.

You'll just have to put up with it.

That's fine.

I'll be off.

Sure.

- Good.

- Yeah, this peach is good.

When I said good,

I meant how you eat the peach.

What?

Sleeping?

No...

How are you?

I don't have much time.

I'm not supposed to be here,

but I snuck over.

Don't you hate my hair?

Not at all.

It's really cute.

But my mother

said it was awful.

I just had to see you.

I don't have anything

special to say,

but I wanted to get used

to seeing your face.

How long were you here?

Thank you so much for coming to see me

It makes me very happy.

But if being here becomes

a burden to you,

you shouldn't hesitate to tell me.

I won't be crushed.

I'll tell you honestly.

I have to go.

Watanabe, do you mind taking

a little walk?

Do you love me?

Yes.

I love you a lot.

Get up. I want to talk.

You asked me once why

I had never slept with Kizuki.

Do you still want to know?

I probably should know.

I think so, too.

The dead will always be dead,

but we have to go on living.

I wanted to sleep with Kizuki.

And he wanted to, too.

So we tried a lot.

But it never worked.

We couldn't do it.

I didn't know why then

and I still don't know why.

I loved him.

But it never worked.

I couldn't get wet.

I never opened to him.

It hurt too much.

We tried everything,

but it never worked.

So I...

used my lips

and my fingers for him.

I wish

I didn't have to talk about this.

But I can't help it,

I have to talk about it.

I can't figure this out alone.

When I slept with you,

I was really wet, wasn't I?

Yes.

That evening of my birthday,

I'd been wet since I saw you.

I wanted you to hold me.

I wanted you to take off my clothes

and touch me.

I'd never felt like that before.

Why?

How could that happen?

I mean,

I really loved Kizuki.

You mean, but not me?

I'm sorry.

But please understand,

Kizuki and I had

a truly special relationship.

We had

always been together,

from the age of three.

We talked about everything

and understood each other.

That's how we grew up.

The first time we kissed,

we were in sixth grade.

It was wonderful.

When I had my first period,

I ran to him and

cried like a baby.

We were that close.

After he died,

I just didn't know

how to relate to other people.

I didn't even know

what it means

to love someone.

Naoko!

Time to confess.

What were you two doing?

Going out at that hour,

coming back nearly naked.

I can't tell you.

We did it.

But it didn't work.

What do you mean?

Watanabe was too big for me.

He didn't fit inside me.

It's been seven years since

the last time,

so I was all stuffed up.

That was the dream

Reiko had,

the night before you came.

You dreamed about me?

It wasn't you,

it was just some man.

Don't forget,

we're not normal here.

Apparently not.

Do you want to sleep

with me?

Of course.

Can you wait?

Of course, I can wait.

Before that time comes,

I want to get a little better.

Will you wait for me

until then?

Of course, I'll wait.

Is it hard?

The soles of my feet?

Silly you.

If you're asking if I have an erection,

of course, I do.

Can you please stop saying

of course?

OK, I'll stop.

Is it difficult?

What?

Being hard like that.

What?

I mean, does it hurt?

Sometimes it does...

Shall I help you get rid of it?

With your hand?

Right.

It's warm.

You're good at that.

Be a good boy and shut up.

When did you get here?

A while ago.

Why are you so spaced out?

I'm a little tired from my trip.

Hey, Watanabe.

Do you have any idea

what I want to do, right now?

No.

I can't imagine.

I want to be lying down

on a big, wide, fluffy bed.

You're lying beside me

and slowly taking my clothes off.

So tenderly.

I'm spacing out,

feeling really nice.

Suddenly I come to my senses

and yell, "Stop it, Watanabe!"

Stop it, Watanabe. I like you.

But I'm seeing someone else.

I can't do this. Please stop.

But you don't stop.

Then you show it to me.

Your thing, sticking way up.

That's what you want to do, now?

That's right.

Do all the guys

in here masturbate?

Probably.

Can you talk more quietly?

Do they do it,

thinking about girls?

I kind of doubt anybody

masturbates thinking

about the stock market

or the Suez Canal.

Have you ever thought about me?

Hey, tell me!

When you weren't at school,

you were here.

Yeah.

Whenever I saw you,

you looked tired.

I did?

Why?

Daddy, it's me, Midori.

How are you?

Daddy, I have to go

and see the nurse.

I'll be right back, OK?

- Can you stay with him?

- Of course.

Hello?

My father died.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm fine, thank you.

I just wanted to let you know.

Don't come.

I hate funerals.

I don't want to see you there.

I get it.

Will you take me to a porn film?

Of course.

A really dirty one.

I'll find a good one for you.

My father should have gone

to Uruguay.

You're right.

Would you have come

to visit me?

Of course.

We might have had

lots of healthy babies there.

That's not a bad life.

You're so kind.

I'll call you again.

Sure.

What happened to your hand?

I just got hurt at work.

I see.

I passed...

The Foreign Ministry exam?

Congratulations.

You're going abroad, right?

The first year is training here.

Then I'll be abroad for a while.

What are your plans for Hatsumi?

You'll be abroad for years.

What will happen to her?

That's her business, not mine.
