Sasaki in My Mind (佐々木、イン、マイマイン)

Sasaki! Sasaki! Sasaki!

"Sasaki in My Mind"

Good morning.

Yeah...

How was your world today?

Um...

This person with the head of a cow

and a human body

was wearing a white bed sheet over his head.

But the bed sheet was all red.

I don't know what happened but it's definitely blood.

He's sitting

in the middle of a train

carefully holding a funeral portrait of the deceased.

I can't see who this person is in the portrait.

The train arrives at the station but he doesn't get off.

I see... It sounds mysterious.

I wonder what happened.

I wanna go to a batting cage.

I thought you were sick of it.

I didn't have time to go.

I decided...

to move out this winter.

Okay.

You?

Moving out?

I don't know yet.

Sorry.

We can switch.

Switch?

I'll do that.

Hold on. I'm getting the hang of it.

Okay.

I have a hard time handling the boxes with my bad hand.

It looks painful.

I owned a pub

but it burned down in that fire in Uguisudani.

The whole pub?

Burned to the ground.

It says "detergent-less laundry ball."

Huh?

Uh...

Right?

What?

This...

Right?

Cutting toe nails is

the most troublesome task in life.

I don't think so.

I totally do.

Going out?

Yeah. Out drinking.

Okay.

How was work today?

I assembled boxes and assembled boxes and assembled boxes.

A box craftsman.

No.

Hello?

I'm on my way out.

Okay. I'll meet you inside.

Yep. See you later.

Look at all that. I don't know most of them.

How is it going?

How's what going?

You know... Are you still acting?

No.

Are you gonna quit?

Things are looking up for you. I saw the TV ad.

I'm still struggling.

I thought I had a decent role in a big film but it sucked.

All my other jobs are TV series. That's it.

That's good.

No, it's not.

Give me one of your roles.

No.

I mean, you'll get your break soon.

Whatever.

Script?

"The Long Goodbye."

We should do it together. Arrange it a little.

How will it merit you?

Merit?

Why now?

Yuji, I love your acting.

You don't have to say that.

You have to hang in there.

You said you didn't have any talent but...

What about me?

You...

must have talent.

What else can you do besides act?

If there's something...

No...

Ishii! Ishii!

- Ishii! - Yes?

Almost done?

One more round.

Yuji!

Tada?

You work here?

I'm a box craftsman.

Huh?

So what's up?

Everybody's asking me.

Of course. Are you still acting?

You're doing business with that company?

It was a cold sales visit.

Don't worry about me. Don't change the subject.

Are you still acting?

Yeah...

It doesn't pay the bills, huh?

No.

A tough profession.

I'll go watch you perform.

I'll let you know.

Why didn't you come to the reunion?

Sasaki was there.

What? Sasaki was there?

Yeah. He hasn't changed.

Too bad I missed him.

Where do you live?

15 minutes from Shin-Yurigaoka.

Keio line

Odakyu line.

You should've kept in touch.

You too.

You live alone?

No... I live with a girl. My ex.

We still live together.

Why?

One of you didn't move out?

She's going to this winter.

Why did you break-up?

She probably got fed up with me.

You should enjoy yourself with other women.

Enjoy myself?

I'll join you. But don't tell my wife.

Why would I? I don't know her.

Women are the best cure for loneliness.

Find friends with benefits.

Before you know it, you'll find your next girlfriend.

Are you talking about casual sex?

What else?

It's not like I'm looking for sex.

I won't rely on someone to fill the void.

I hate that term "friends with benefits."

Don't get so mad.

You're still in love with her?

What if I am?

I bet you haven't told her.

So what?

You should tell her.

One of these days.

People say that all the time.

"One of these days, I'll get married."

You don't want to face the issue.

You don't know anything about us but you're saying I'm running away?

It's not just about her.

Then what?

Your life in general.

You're not living it like you want to.

It's obvious even to me just after a few hours.

Mind your own business.

Right.

What the hell?

What was that for?

Sorry.

Yuji...

Stop talking shit.

Hey!

Yuji!

Stop it!

What should I tell my wife?

You're pretty strong.

I started boxing.

You did? At our age?

I hate to lose.

Lose to what? Grow up already.

I don't wanna lose.

You're taking after him.

Him.

You think so?

Haven't you seen him?

I did once.

Yeah?

Another round?

I've had enough.

Okay. I'll see you around.

Is this like boobs?

Yuji, go faster!

I can't!

My legs are falling off!

Keep going!

Stop doing that!

Go!

Go!

See ya!

Wait!

- Run! - Go!

Run!
