White On Rice

---

Japan-The Feudal Era.

Hordes of Masterless Samurai

roam the countyside...

...seeking employment

and horizontal refreshment.

Ambush at Blood-Trail Gate

This movie sucks.

This is the worse movie l've ever seen.

Be quiet! This is his big scene!

My big brother's a movie star!

This is the highlight of my whole career.

Even better than working in

the tuna canney?

Hey! Be nice.

Ouch.

l love this movie.

This is it.

Best scene in the whole movie.

(Haiku) Looking back at twelve

Iong years together...

Tak.

See you tonight.

You think she'd go out with me?

Maybe if you took her husband along.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Do you really think l'd hide

your birthday presents in here?

l thought l had 'em for sure.

Put your seatbelt on.

l need to talk to you about something.

ls Tak upset with me?

l'm not worried.

Why won't Tak give me a break?

He was probably just like me

before he met you.

Pizza's here!

-Again?

Can you grab the phone?

Wow, is this Ramona?

Yep.

She's not a child anymore...

How's the apartment search going?

Pretty well.

Not bad at all.

Actually really well because

l stopped looking.

Well, l've been thinking a lot lately...

...and l've decided that until

l get remarried...

...l should remain here.

...son of a....

Good idea.

These things take time.

Thank you!

l'm taking my time, playing the field...

l can find somebody better than my ex-wife.

Easily.

He's weird!

No matter how you look at it,

it's not normal!

Don't you think you're overreacting?

No, l'm just angy that our son

has to share a bunk bed with his uncle.

So he should live in his car again?

What about the guest room?

But Ramona's coming!

So let's stum him in the attic!

lf that doesn't work,

give him to the neighbors.

Or the neighbors' neighbon.

Can't we just get Hajime remarried...

Can't we just get Hajime remarried...

...and out of here so

we can have some peace?

l'm going to set him up with Shiho.

That tall girl?

l dunno about that.

Goodnight.

l'll find someone better than you.

Let me talk to Aiko.

She went out.

Are you sure?

l really need to talk to her.

She's not here!

What do you want?

Hello?

Did you wash your hands?

Come say hi to Shiho.

Nice to meet you, Hajime.

l'm Shiho.

...nice to meet you too.

Call me Jimmy.

You go by Jimmy?

That's a funny name for a Japanese.

Yes, it is.

Can l speak with you in private?

What were you thinking?

You're so cruel!

Just relax. Get to know her.

She's enonnous!

l don't want to get to know

something that big.

She'll crush me!

You should thank me.

She's way out ofyour league.

She's gonna think l'm weird.

And short!

...Well, don't be weird...

and don't be short.

What kind of work do you do?

Do you eat a lot of protein?

Soy. Customer service.

Oh, really?

ls that fun?

The office ceiling is vey low, so l like it.

Much more comfortable that way.

Hajime! Eat your vegetables.

You like this stum, right?

Aiko tells me you like dinosaurs.

Yes, it's something of a hobby.

Do you have a favorite dinosaur?

Me?

Favorite dinosaur? l've never really

Let me guess!

-Okay.

The Brontosaurus.

You know, the huge one with

the really long neck.

l bet it's really convenient to be able

to reach things in high places.

What are you tying to say?

Nothing.

This is just one of Hajime's little jokes.

What are you tying to say, shorty?

See? l told you!

lt's always like this.

Men are always afraid of my height.

No...Hajime's just a little intimidated

because you're pretty.

Yeah, and l wouldn't

play basketball with you either.

l bet you can dunk, right?

What? What did l say?

Shiho! l'm sory, sweetie! l'm sory!

Are you okay?

How did an old fogey like Tak convince you

to mary him?

What do you mean?

Well, he isn't handsome

...and he dresses like a grandpa.

-Hey! Watch it.

Sory.

He must have some secret though.

There's no big secret!

He just took me to things

he was interested in.

Museums, concerts...

He would even play the violin for me back then.

That's it? You gave it up for that?

lt was fun!

lt really was fun.

lt was fun? It WAS fun?

Oh, shut up.

Can you believe it? Almost 12 years.

Time sure flies.

Why don't we go someplace

for our annivenay?

How about Ishigaki island?

Just the mo of us.

Hello?

We can't leave Hajime in charge.

You remember the last time?

Oh right. That carpet still smells awful.

l'm not so sure how l feel about this.

Why? Education is never a bad thing.

How's he going to pay for it?

l told him we would...help.

Perfect.

This coffin is just the right size for Hajime.

What? It is.

He can't do anything by himself.

lts just like having a dead guy around.

We're brother and sister, you know.

We're more alike than you think.

-No you're not!

Please don't say that.

But he's fun!

l know he's a handful, but...

...isn't it fun having him around?

l'm not fun?

You don't think l'm fun?

l'm vey impressed with Ramona.

What do you mean?

Nothing, l just think...she's great.

The last couple ofyears

must have been tough for her.

Why?

She had a hard time after Tim

and left town for a while.

So l was just a little worried about her.

Oh, l see.

Wait, what about Tim?

Don't you remember?

They dated all through high school.

Eveyone thought they would

get married eventually.

Wait...is this the same Ramona?

l never got the whole stoy...

but her mother said Ramona

needed to move on

so she left Tim for grad school.

lt was pretty sad. Poor Tim.

No! Not poor Tim!

Why is this the first time

l'm hearing about this?

Don't yell, he'll hear you!

l don't care!

Wait...who'll hear me?

Tim!

He's downstain with Ramona.

WHAT?

Did you finish your homework?

And the police took 45 minutes to show up!

l could've walked to the station by then.

Did you ask Bob about his math test?

He had a math test?

l'm sure he's fine.

He can take care of himself.

The one l'm worried about...

...is the other, bigger kid!

Sometimes l wish l could...

be closer to him.

Really?

Even though we live

in the same house...

...sometimes l feel like l'm

living with a stranger.

What about this...

Take him out, just the two

of you now and then.

One week do something that he likes...

the next, do something you like to do.

You don't mind being left alone like that?

Of course not! l've got plenty

of work to do.

l don't know how you'll hold up...

Get ready to spend lots of time

at the dinosaur museum.

Really? Him too?

Of coune!

Ever since he was a kid, that's all

he ever talks about!

Wait a minute.

Aren't we talking about Bob?

Let's skip the concert and

go home early.

Jimmy and Bob are out for Halloween,

so we'll have the place to ourselves...

That's a good idea.

l actually need to catch up

on a bunch of invoices.

Let's go home.

Should we get this to go?

Hey gorilla!

Hey gorilla!

How was trick-or-treating?

All right.

How'd his costume work out?

l thought he was going as a ghost.

We have a problem!

l forgot!
