First Penguin! (Fasuto Pengin! / ファーストペンギン!)

10 years ago

I need you to rebuild this shore.

The government will support this fish box project.

I knew you were the Goddess of Fortune.

You came to save us.

If you do this, you know what's gonna happen, don't you?

I hope they eat your legs off and make you the laughingstock of Japan.

You crazy octopus!

We will not provide you with ice or fuel.

We won't accept all of your fish, either.

If you can do it, then do it!

What are we gonna do now?

I'll bring a whole tanker truck with me.

So stop complaining and follow me!

Why the dialect...

I'll definitely do something about it, so please trust me.

ALL TALK!!!

- Where are you going? - To apologize to the co-op.

Tell him I'm not gonna do the fish box!

Mr. Kataoka! If you give in here, nothing will ever begin.

If I don't, we won't be able to fish today!

So I'll take care of that.

What time to the second, will the tanker truck be at the port?!

- That can be arranged... - We're talking about today and tomorrow!

Fine! Then I'll go with you to the co-op!

I will explain everything to them!

Hey, you,

I'm sorry, but please leave us alone.

- No, but... - I'm begging you!

We have employees and families that we need to feed.

I'm sorry, but please leave us alone.

Hey...

What was it... Nagasawa!

Tell me... why did you go to such lengths?

What happens to our company has nothing to do with you, Mrs. Iwasaki.

You know, I once was caught up in something.

Bending over backwards and apologizing for something I didn't agree with at all.

I don't want to repeat the same thing here only to be disappointed in myself.

If I give up now,

I can't tell my kid not to become that person.

Please read. - Iwasaki

- Is that... - Copy of the application form.

Tell the three-shi to read it carefully.

Bye.

Three-shi.

Shiogasaki Fishing Cooperative Association

We are...

terribly sorry!

I don't care if you do whatever you want.

I won't provide you with fuel or ice.

What... No, I was really

surprised to know that we were doing such things.

Oh, yeah?

I heard that the government has certified everything.

Are you sure? You won't listen to the government?

Better from local co-op than some government!

That girl won't get a single fish from us!

We won't give her anything!

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- See you tomorrow, Sukkun! - Bye-bye Kacchan!

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- We're leaving now. - Oh, hello.

I guess she's an outsider too.

Mom!

Whaa! Ah! Sorry to make you wait!

Hey, hey... are you friends with that kid just now?

Yeah, he's Kacchan!

- Mom, you're early today. - Yeah.

But Mom was put on the night shift,

so once we get back to our place, you'll be in after hours childcare.

- What? Again? - Sorry!

This is my mother's story.

Sorry I'm late.

A story of a penniless single mother

who gets involved with a group of fishermen in dire straits,

and somehow becomes the first penguin in the industry.

Excuse me...

Hiro! We're gonna lift the net now.

Okay, roger that.

Whoa! Well, let's go, Nagasawa.

- Yes. - Okay.

The record...

Thank you for your hard work.

...of the firshermen and my mother's last-ditch effort to turn things around.

Oh, what's that?

You know that thing that's popular now,

the phone that looks like a tiny TV.

- A smartphone? - Ah, yeah, yeah.

I heard that if you put it here, it moves.

I thought if we put it in the rooms, kids would be delighted.

- Wow! That's amazing. - Right?

They say it's selling well.

Doesn't that make you want to buy one?

I'll buy one, if it's selling well...

If they think it will sell...

will they do it?

EPISODE TWO

Hiro, has she said anything since then?

Huh? Nothing.

I guess she gave up.

If Hiro says he won't do it, then we won't do it.

Excuse me...

Mr. Kataoka, good morning!

W-What are you doing here?

- I came here to get fish. - Huh!?

I did a sales trial and found

many wanted to order the fish box.

I already got an order for 10 boxes.

- What? Ten boxes. - Yes.

I called all my old acquaintances and they all said, "That's a great idea!"

"I wanna try Sanshi's horse mackerel." It sold like hotcakes!

- That many? - Yeah!

- Here. This... - Horse mackerel.

The horse mackerels!

I'll have those, please!

What the hell are you doing? We won't do it!

If you give me 100 of these horse mackerels,

the sales of the fish box will be 30,000 yen.

But if you wholesale to the co-op, it will be 4,000 yen at best.

You can save 26,000 yen with me.

No, we can't do that.

I already made a promise to the co-op not to give you a single fish!

Promise...

Ah! Did you read the document?

I left it on your desk.

Huh? There was nothing there.

- Ah, It's here... - Here.

Actually,

what we talked about before at the office has changed.

- So why don't you once again... - I won't read it!

I promised the co-op that I wouldn't do that.

There is no need to read it.

Don't say that and just read it.

I said I won't read it!

- I will never read it. - Yes...

Listen, if she comes to you, don't ever give her fish.

If we give her fish, the co-op will beat us to a pulp!

What about a date? Can I ask her out on a date?

No! Don't even talk to her.

- What about love letters? - No!

Okay, get back to work.

Well, it's not gonna be that easy, huh?

We got a good one today!

Excuse me...

- What do you want? - Rinka, hurry it up.

What do you want, sweetie?

Ah, you see,

my friend said they want to have a sashimi party.

I need you to sell me some fish...

That girl sure is persistent.

I hope there are no strange rumors

floating around the other boats that saw us.

Right?

- Hiro. - Oh, right... Right!

So persistent!

You felt sorry for her now, didn't you?

- No, I wasn't. - Don't do that.

We even bowed down to the co-op and got them to forgive us.

I told you that I wasn't!

Oh, no! Isn't that the minister who gave us his seal?

Takashi Ando Prosecution of Minister of Fisheries Ando for his misogynistic remarks

Oh, yeah! What is he saying?

He said that 90% of what women talk about is idle chatter.

Huh!?

Well, men are pretty chatty too.

You can say that.

That's right.

I heard

President Kataoka and others were chatting with her at the market.

You're not doing the whatchamacallit box behind my back, are you!

Why would we do that?

We told her that we refused to sell her fish.

- Right? - Yeah.

It's true.

What?

Union President! Seems that girl bought some fish at the market.

What did you just say!?

- Pleasure doing business. - Thank you.

- Hey! What are you doing!? - You! You!

I thought I'd ship the fish.

You can't be doing this without my say-so!

- That's right. That's right! - But I'm in a bind too.

- The orders already came in. - You can't ship fish

that ain't from us and call it "ours"!

- That's fra-frau... - Fraudulent food origin!
