It's great, Shizuku. I love it!

508

00:
35:17,760 -- 00:35:19,557

The lyrics aren't too corny?

509

00:
35:19,680 -- 00:35:21,079

No. They're wonderful.

510

00:
35:21,160 -- 00:35:23,116

You really have a gift for writing.

511

00:
35:23,240 -- 00:35:25,834

Reading all those books

actually did her some good.

512

00:
35:25,920 -- 00:35:28,354

- You sure they're OK?

- They're from the heart.

513

00:
35:28,440 -- 00:35:30,317

Yeah. I really like this part:

514

00:
35:30,440 -- 00:35:32,590

"I dreamed of living alone but fearless.

515

00:
35:32,720 -- 00:35:35,359

- [Bell chiming]

- Secret longing to be courageous.

516

00:
35:35,440 -- 00:35:37,480

Loneliness kept bottled up inside..."

517

00:
35:37,480 -- 00:35:39,994

- Ladies, that's the bell.

- [Girls] Yes, ma'am.

518

00:
35:46,320 -- 00:35:48,595

Ahh! I love being a writer!

519

00:
35:48,720 -- 00:35:49,994

[Yuko] Shizuku!

520

00:
35:50,120 -- 00:35:52,270

Do you want to come with us

to the glee club?

521

00:
35:52,400 -- 00:35:54,789

- We're gonna show them your lyrics.

- No, thanks.

522

00:
35:54,880 -- 00:35:57,269

I want to check out some books

from the library.

523

00:
35:57,360 -- 00:35:59,271

We've got a test tomorrow, you know.

524

00:
35:59,360 -- 00:36:01,999

- I'll study when I get home.

- [Yuko] Yeah, right.

525

00:
36:02,120 -- 00:36:04,156

- See you later.

- See ya!

526

00:
36:31,760 -- 00:36:33,910

[Girls chattering in hallway]

527

00:
36:38,240 -- 00:36:39,514

Hey, Yuko.

528

00:
36:41,120 -- 00:36:44,829

Uh, sorry to bother you

but, uh, can we talk?

529

00:
36:46,600 -- 00:36:48,033

Mm-hmm.

530

00:
36:54,920 -- 00:36:57,150

I was afraid it would be closed.

531

00:
36:57,280 -- 00:36:59,475

I hope that old man's doing all right.

532

00:
37:10,720 -- 00:37:13,553

[Groaning] The Baron's gone.

533

00:
37:13,640 -- 00:37:15,198

Someone must have bought him.

534

00:
37:21,080 -- 00:37:24,240

"Mr. Nishi's Antique Shop."

535

00:
37:24,240 -- 00:37:25,514

Oh, thank goodness.

536

00:
37:25,640 -- 00:37:28,154

That jerk's name isn't Amasawa.

It's Nishi.

537

00:
37:28,280 -- 00:37:30,475

- [Bicycle brakes squealing]

- [Gasping]

538

00:
37:34,720 -- 00:37:36,039

[Sighing]

539

00:
37:40,200 -- 00:37:42,998

- i[music playing]/i

- [Shiho] Shizuku!

540

00:
37:43,120 -- 00:37:45,509

Shizuku, Yuko's on the phone.

541

00:
37:47,600 -- 00:37:48,510

Hey!

542

00:
37:49,200 -- 00:37:50,918

Phone call. Can't you hear anything?

543

00:
37:51,600 -- 00:37:54,273

I keep telling you

you're gonna ruin your hearing.

544

00:
37:54,360 -- 00:37:56,510

Hello? What?

545

00:
37:56,640 -- 00:37:58,710

I can't really hear you.

546

00:
37:58,800 -- 00:38:01,792

Mm-hmm. Don't worry about it, Yuko.

547

00:
38:01,920 -- 00:38:03,831

Mm-hmm. I'll be right there.

548

00:
38:03,960 -- 00:38:06,428

- Where are you going?

- Just down the street.

549

00:
38:06,560 -- 00:38:08,790

[Door rattling]

550

00:
38:12,560 -- 00:38:16,348

- Yuko, what happened?

- [Sobbing] Shizuku.

551

00:
38:16,480 -- 00:38:19,392

What is it? Why... Why are you crying?

552

00:
38:19,480 -- 00:38:21,710

I talked to Sugimura,

553

00:
38:21,840 -- 00:38:24,559

and he's friends with the guy

who wrote me that letter,

554

00:
38:24,680 -- 00:38:28,468

so he tried to convince me to go out

with his friend. [crying]

555

00:
38:28,600 -- 00:38:31,353

What? [groaning]

556

00:
38:31,480 -- 00:38:35,189

Go out with your friend?

How could you say that to me?!

557

00:
38:35,280 -- 00:38:37,669

- [Crying]

- What?

558

00:
38:40,600 -- 00:38:43,034

That jerk.

I can't believe he's that stupid.

559

00:
38:43,120 -- 00:38:45,156

But I don't think he did it to hurt you.

560

00:
38:45,280 -- 00:38:48,238

He's just a dope.

He has no idea that you like him.

561

00:
38:49,240 -- 00:38:51,549

[Sighing] I better

apologize to him, I guess.

562

00:
38:51,640 -- 00:38:55,080

But there's no way I can go to school

with my face looking like this.

563

00:
38:55,080 -- 00:38:57,071

I'm going to have to stay home tomorrow.

564

00:
38:57,200 -- 00:38:59,156

- We've got tests, you know.

- Mm-hmm.

565

00:
39:00,320 -- 00:39:01,639

OK.

566

00:
39:19,560 -- 00:39:20,788

[Whispering] Idiot.

567

00:
39:23,040 -- 00:39:24,598

What did I do?

568

00:
39:26,280 -- 00:39:27,713

That was pretty easy, huh?

569

00:
39:27,840 -- 00:39:31,037

- Headed to the library again?

- No. I'm gonna go check on Yuko.

570

00:
39:31,160 -- 00:39:32,957

Oh, tell her I hope she feels better.

571

00:
39:33,080 -- 00:39:34,354

- I will. See ya.

- Bye-bye.

572

00:
39:41,520 -- 00:39:43,750

[Sugimura] Shizuku!

573

00:
39:43,880 -- 00:39:45,518

Wait up!

574

00:
39:46,600 -- 00:39:48,113

Whoa!

575

00:
39:51,640 -- 00:39:53,915

I need to talk to you about Yuko.

576

00:
40:00,120 -- 00:40:03,440

And then all of a sudden

she starts crying her head off.

577

00:
40:03,440 -- 00:40:05,795

So, what did I say

that was so terrible, huh?

578

00:
40:07,080 -- 00:40:08,399

Just think about it.

579

00:
40:08,520 -- 00:40:10,829

Remember when Yuko said,

"Date your friend?

580

00:
40:10,960 -- 00:40:12,916

- How could you say that to me?"

- Mm-hmm.

581

00:
40:13,040 -- 00:40:15,952

All I said was he's a good guy.

She should give him a chance.

582

00:
40:16,080 -- 00:40:17,274

Get a clue!

583

00:
40:17,360 -- 00:40:20,557

What Yuko was saying was that she

didn't want to hear that from you.

584

00:
40:20,680 -- 00:40:24,040

- You know what that means, don't you?

- I don't speak girl code!

585

00:
40:24,040 -- 00:40:25,758

Why don't you spell it out for me?

586

00:
40:25,880 -- 00:40:28,110

[Grunting] I can't believe

you're this dense!

587

00:
40:28,240 -- 00:40:30,196

What it means is Yuko

has a crush on you.

588

00:
40:30,280 -- 00:40:34,034

What? Are you sure?

I didn't pick up on that.

589

00:
40:34,120 -- 00:40:37,112

Are you blind? She stayed home

from school, you know.

590

00:
40:37,240 -- 00:40:39,276

She even missed a test

on account of you.

591

00:
40:39,400 -- 00:40:43,109

But, it's that...

You're the one I'm in love with!

592

00:
40:43,240 -- 00:40:45,037

[Gasping] What?

593

00:
40:45,160 -- 00:40:47,355

Come on, quit joking around, will you?

594

00:
40:47,440 -- 00:40:51,035

I'm not joking. I've been in love with

you for years. Haven't you noticed?

595

00:
40:51,160 -- 00:40:54,960

But you can't fall for me.

That just doesn't happen.

596

00:
40:54,960 -- 00:40:58,077

Don't you like me at all?

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
