When was it?

When I first started thinkin' about

killing my wife...

For those of you who've never

killed anyone...

Yes you!

You people peacefully watching

You'll never get your mind around it.

For you, snuffing out somebody's life

is almost 100% unbelievable.

For us killing folk, not whacking

someone is almost 100% unbelievable.

Almost...

Oh...that feels good. Yeah...

Yeah... I'm...

I'm com...

A CM about a guy who's

quick in bed.

He comes in 3 secs.

Yoko's Thought Up Commercial

Mind Blowingly Quick.

For Fast lnternet Access, Get SPEED!.

Something wrong?

Nothing really.

Yoko, are any commercials you made

on lately?

Maybe.

Maybe that beer one?

Like those pro wrestling

Amazon women?

You got me.

I knew it.

I thought so.

Why's that?

It's a yawn.

Really?

So boring I almost barfed.

What? You angry?

You're pissed.

Not at all...

My honest opinion is valuable, huh?

It's useful, right?

But that one's really boring.

My CMs have a certain love-hate factor.

Certainly not.

The entire country hates it.

Not necessarily.

I almost forgot.

What?

You trying to kill me?

How'd you figure me out?

Yoko...

your armpits reek.

I gotta hold my breath to keep

from dying.

If I die, we're talking homicide.

Say it backwards, you get REDRUM.

You see "The Shining "?

Killer armpit stench...

You could use the idea.

You can use it in your CMs.

Maybe I've got a flair for

commercial planning.

Well?

Being a copy writer is a breeze.

Anybody can do it.

My gut...

All right.

That was a breeze.

That house wasn't even locked.

Amazing.

How'd we make out?

Hold on.

Ta-da! 1, 2, 3...200,000 yen or so.

200,000 yen!

Hey, what's next?

Some ladies of the evening?

Feelin' fine time?

Feelin' fine time?

When you're, you know,

which hand?

When jacking off?

Me...my right hand.

I wonder. Which one was it?

Look out!

Don't check your package!

Hands at 10 and 2!!

S-s-sorry. Sorry.

You scared me.

I can come without using my hands.

What the hell? How?

With this. Concentration.

Image!

Get real!

Seriously!

Seriously?

Talking God's realm.

You're so money, J.

Realm of the senses.

That, I'd like to see.

Keep your eyes on the road.

S-s-sorry. Sorry.

We're approaching Narita. Would you

mind putting your seats upright?

Oi. Come back here.

What is your function here?

Me?

I'm the cabin attendant so...

I make sure you passengers have

a pleasant and safe flight. I guess.

That's not what I mean.

What is your purpose for living?

What are you doing?

What is your function on this planet?

I'm terribly sorry... That's very hard,

how should I answer?

There's no need to think hard about it!

You'll get the wrong answer.

Simply answer.

Follow your instincts and answer.

Even if I...

1 0, 9, 8, 7, 6...

But if, for example, you were me,

how would you...

Don't ask me! Don't be poking

into my affairs!

What are you?

My f***ing mother?

There's no way you are!

What am l, your son?

I don't think so. What's with you!

You messed up in the head?

You ugly b*tch!!

Receipt

I'm home.

Welcome home, Daddy.

Keiichi, are you still up?

Yep.

Another late day, huh?

How'd it go?

How'd what go?

The Aoyama tickets... The hypnotist.

Oh, I forgot.

You forgot!

No, I didn't forget, l...

What? Which is it?

Ta-da!

No way.

Yes way.

Way to go, Daddy.

Were they hard to buy?

Of course they were.

His show is way popular.

They say he hypnotizes

the entire audience.

Really?

You know Kanako, she...

No, I don't know her.

I was talking to Mom.

Kana-chan?

Kanako said before she went...

She thought it was fake.

Now she's a hard-core Aoyama fan.

Aoyama's big, huh?

He's tall and good looking.

I'm pretty tall myself.

When is it?

Tomorrow.

We are so there.

You've got cram school, remember?

Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

No maybes about it.

Besides, I'll never get into college.

Stop it. You and your attitude is...

School...

Yes?

Forget school.

All right!

Hold on honey!

That's no example for our kids.

Come on. I worked my butt off

to get these tickets.

But...

Let's play hooky!

OK. Who's in?

Yippee!

Sometimes the kids need to relax.

What a wise father.

Thanks Daddy.

Thanks Daddy.

Didn't they cost big money?

Not really.

The president of one of my big clients,

you know, Mr. Saito.

You met him. Remember?

Nope. Not at all.

Anyway...

He's got friends in show biz

and he said he owed me.

It's my account and I should

give him something but...

These premium tickets scalp

for 100,000 yen.

Wow.

Sell?

Shall we sell them?

What's with that face? Stop it.

Let's sell.

To sell or not to sell.

That is the question.

And now, the Non-Non pain relief medicine

commercial for your viewing.

We're most happy with the work.

You'll be more than pleased.

You have a phone call.

Tell them to wait.

It's your wife and it's urgent...

Yeah. Yeah.

What?

The bathroom light is out?

How's it coming, J?

Like clockwork.

You're so money, J.

I gotta get a job soon.

What's wrong with this job?

There's plenty wrong with it.

Maybe... Like what do you wanna do?

Like what?

Wanna do? I have something

I wanna do.

Jesus...

Off! Idiot!

My bad.

It's Kawaguchi.

Hello?

Yes...No, no, no, no.

Now, I'm, you know...

No, you know, I'm tied up so...

Yeah, well... Don't ask me...

OK. I'll pick something up

on my way home.

Shall we take a look?

Okay then?

Please enjoy.

Oh no...

The biggest audition of my life and

I've got a splitting headache...

Next.

Yes.

Can you dance?

Yes.

Let's dance. Dance with me. Dance.

Here's the music. OK.

And now. Music.

More, more. Harder. Harder.

Harder.

Harder. Yeah!

You can do better.

Harder, harder.

Faster.

Harder!

More, more.

Non-Non for Headaches.

It's not even close to what

we asked for.

And now the if-l-can't-hypnotize-you

you-win-1-million-yen contest.

And who will the challenger from

the audience be this time?

Now...

who's it gonna be...

I broke a sweat.

How about that father

in the grey suit there?

No way?

For real?

We never authorized this.

This is more entertaining.

I never said "make it entertaining ".

Customers won't understand

the functionality of our product.

Well spoken!

It's aspirin, right?

Does it have any other function

than relieving headaches?

It has various components.

Like what? For example?

For example, like...

Whatchamacallit pie ring...

What's the name again?

Isopropylantipyrine.

See. Pro, pro, propylanti...

If you don't understand...

the customer will get lost

in the technobabble.

Commercials must be entertaining.

Otherwise, no one will watch.

Simple one-sided,

corporate masturbation is...

Masturbation?

We're the ones sporting the bill.

Then you're wasting your money

on boring commercials.

President, the phone.

I said "no calls! "

It's your wife and it's urgent...

Yeah. Yeah.

60 or 1 00 watt?

I told you I haven't the faintest...

Anyway... Take a look...

What? You can't reach it?

So pull a chair over there...
