of my heart.

You want a drink?

A gin and tonic or something...?

This will do.

I'll have it straight, too.

If he dies in a traffic accident

or something...

you should change the restaurant's name.

"Katyusha" is so old-fashioned.

It was my idea.

It means "resurrection".

Were you hoping to resurrect your

marriage?

Isn't it romantic?

Here's to the resurrection of happy couples.

Thank you.

You'll catch cold if you don't

wear a bathrobe.

Can't you sleep?

Get up.

Is it time to go?

It's 2:
30. I'd just dozed off.

That wasn't nice.

I was snoozing pleasantly.

You said we'd talk... after.

We'll talk, get in bed.

This is important.

I'm not talking in bed.

I'm sorry; you must be sleepy.

- I'm all right.

I want this more than anything.

Please marry me.

When you said worried,

I thought you meant your job.

This house would be a good place

to run the business,

but it's not my house.

I talked to my son about it,

and he said he wouldn't mind

if I remarried.

He knows how much I've suffered,

so he's very understanding.

He said that you're a good man,

and he wouldn't mind you as a father.

What are you talking about?!

I'm a married...

If you don't, you'll be killed.

Killed?! Me?!

Yes, we're already planning it.

- Who's "we"?

The whole thing isn't final yet.

We haven't decided on the weapon.

We're thinking about a butcher knife,

poison, or a pistol.

That's why.

- This is a Shakedown.

Honey, you should take this

a little more seriously.

You shouldn't think such dark thoughts.

You're busy.

You'll overwork and get sick.

Your body won't keep up.

Your wife had you pegged.

She said she'd be happy to give up

this plan, if you'd marry someone.

My wife?! She's in on this?

You're not cut out to work at

a busy TV station.

But so long as I have the printing company,

everything will be fine.

You could run the printing company.

Are you leaving?

I forgot something at the office.

It's the middle of the night.

You don't want to marry me, do you?

I'm glad you woke me up.

Nogami must be tired of waiting for me.

Nogami's a man:

there's nothing to worry about.

I can't understand that man.

I hope someone really does kill him!

Wake up.

Hey!

Get up!

Turn off the light.

Get up, already.

I'm trying to sleep.

You're back.

I'm glad you're home.

I've caught a cold.

God, I'm late.

What...? it's you!

I hope I didn't wake you

when I dropped the bucket.

Where's my wife?

- She was gone when I got here.

It's Tuesday, so I'm going to clean up.

"Please don't throw the broken

milk bottles in the garbage.

"Please make sure to clean

under the bed.

"Thursday is laundry day,

so please come early.

"The laundry won't dry

by nightfall, so..."

Not everyone's here yet.

- I know.

Forget about it.

Gee, we're busy.

Hello... it's me. Me!

Is Madam in?

No?

She went to the department store

to buy a cup. I see.

I'll call back.

We'll be in the soup

if everyone doesn't show.

We have to decide soon,

or we won't get a decent actor.

Are you talking about casting

Windy Theater the week after next?

What's on my plate for tonight?

The Weekly Gang is center stage tonight.

- I know that much.

I'm going to see Hashizumi.

Check the script for Windy Theater

for three weeks from now.

What about the week after next?

But everyone'll be here soon.

I won't be long.

Hey, Kaze, just a minute.

What's up?

I was awoken in the wee hours

this morning by Marubishi.

They said the commercial was unusable,

and you hadn't apologized.

Really?

- I told you about it.

They say they want 3 minutes of air time

on another day as compensation.

Hey, Nogami, did you call

Marubishi for me?

No, you didn't tell me to.

- This is bad, they must be furious.

I told you all about it.

- Hello.

Marubishi advertising department.

They didn't have to call

the bureau chief.

I clearly told you.

Marubishi advertising department...?

Is Mr. Ozaki in?

This is Kaze from VTV.

It's too late now.

Hey, Kaze, we're leaving. You coming?

- Where to?

We need some extra shots

for Sunny Japan.

Oh, yeah, next week. Hold on.

Mr. Ozaki, thanks for yesterday.

You idiot!

I think a woman was driving that car.

I think there was a woman.

It was full of young people.

Do you think they were

trying to kill me?

Why would they do that?

Don't know.

Oh, you're back.

- Is casting finished?

Trasnportation called, a car's available.

Did you put in a request?

Oh, yeah.

Are we going to see Hashizumi?

Is the Windy Theater cast finalized?

- More or less.

Give it to me,

I have to tell the newspapers.

I don't know, ask advertising.

- Tell me. - I'm busy.

Just starting?

- Hey.

Whoa... why the hurry?

The reading for The Weekly Gang's at 6.

You going home already?

I wish. I also wish they had

a better girl working reception.

Isn't Kita's show on at eight?

You going to watch it?

I never watch our shows

at the station.

TV's best watched at home

with a glass of fine whisky.

I've never watched a production myself.

I only feel human when

I'm by myself. I watch it then.

Good night.

No. 2, Camera #2 can you

hear me? Please respond.

Are you going to close in

with the camera?

That's the ticket, hold it there.

Is it fixed?

It's still too white.

- It's fine.

Okay, it'll do.

Hey, floorman, what the hell

are you doing?!

Make sure the actors

understand my cues!

You're going to screw up the show!

What's that guy thinking?!

- Is everyone here?

The reading's done,

we're blocking now.

How are you for time?

- It's tight.

What are you eating?

I'm hungry.

Pork on rice?

Want me to order you something?

What d'you want? - Pork on rice.

Throw! Throw! Throw!

Throw! Throw! Throw!

One more! You were late! Stop!

You were off tempo.

One more time up to there.

And... go!

Cue sound.

Cue.

Cue.

That's a wrap.

That'll do.

Now for real.

Rehearsal's finished.

Three minute break.

Three minutes... Three-minute break.

Don't leave the stage.

Do you have the costume?

It's too short.

- Dress him.

She's hasn't said a word

for a couple of days. Not a peep.

She probably got into

a fight with someone.

On air in one minute.

Is Toshi on the floor?

Week after next?

I thought she helped on this shift.

Goto's off today.

- Really, why?

She broke her wrist,

but I thought it was better.

Probably a cold or something.

In 30 seconds!

15 seconds!

10 seconds!

- It looks a little dark.

It's too dark.

- 5 seconds!

Start from camera #2.

On air!

We Japanese have to speak properly.

Dummkopf, don't be so formal.

- No, we are...

So long as people understand.

- You friggin' media hog!

You halfwit, quit yammering!

- Oh, shut up! - Give him a punch!

Just shut up and let me talk!

What's that?

Oh, it's the moon.

Hey.

- Good evening.

What's your department?

Momoko Momose,

of the Stardust Revue.

It was my first time on TV today.

I was shaking so bad,

I came up here to calm down.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

- That it is.
