The Lowlife (最低。)

Ayako, hurry up.

Stop!

I'm not a burglar.

Takako?

- Long time no see. - Why...

"Tokorozawa Premium Outlet New Year's Sale"

"Tokorozawa Outlet Mall Project Outline"

"Timeless Porn Stars"

Miho.

Let's discuss it some other time.

But Kenta...

Don't you want any children?

Sure I do.

We have separate bedrooms because I come home so late from work.

I'm turning 35 next month.

I know that.

I'm happy living together with you like this.

Isn't it hot? I'll turn on the air conditioner.

When will it get cooler again?

Right?

Soon enough, I'm sure.

We didn't go anywhere this summer again.

We'll be discussing

the same thing here again

next year and the year after that.

Just the two of us.

Don't get upset.

Come here, Fluffy.

Come here, Fluffy.

Here, for you.

Are you married?

Why?

Because the girl...

What about her father?

It doesn't matter.

Of course it matters! Takako!

We broke up before she was born.

You were gone for 10 years.

What were you doing?

- Working. - Doing what?

I'm going to bed.

Ayako, right? Come here where it's warm.

Ayako.

Oh, it's so cold. Your hands are freezing.

"From Nakamura"

"About your mom. Don't dwell on it."

This is your mom when she was a baby.

She's about your age in this one.

Is he her dad?

No, it's someone who used to help me out.

Where's her dad?

There is no dad in this family.

Same as me?

Oh, did you draw this?

You're such a good artist.

I'll buy you crayons tomorrow.

Do me... Do me from behind.

The shape of your finger...

It's weird.

This finger looks exactly like my dad's.

Really?

I'm the only ugly one among my siblings.

My mom is pretty, too.

Maybe you were conceived from an affair.

I just told you my finger looks like my dad's.

Oh, then you must have been a mutation.

Men are...

tired of looking at pretty women who all look the same.

Look at the camera.

No.

You can always quit if you don't like it.

You're not happy with your current life, are you?

I'll think about it.

Great! Call me, then.

You'll belong to everyone from now on.

Don't worry.

"Job Application: Do you have a partner?"

Everyone feels uneasy at first.

"Do you like sex? Do you masturbate?"

If I fill this out,

will I automatically be registered as an actress?

People applying for this job have various motives and reasons,

so it's natural to feel awkward.

Yes.

I'm coming!

Cut! OK!

Good work.

Thanks.

- Thanks. - Good work.

- Hope it didn't hurt. - No.

I'm fine.

I've got a steel vagina.

Ms. Hashiguchi.

Yes.

This way.

Please stand there and take off your clothes.

There's another actress

who looks out from there

like you were doing.

The view from the roof is better

so she's often up there.

She's from Hokkaido,

and says the buildings look like dead trees in the wetlands.

I can't give you any lasting reassurance

no matter what I say.

You must have a lot on your mind.

The best way is to go on set and

have everyone see your attractiveness.

I'm coming!

Cut! OK!

Was it all right?

Yes.

Thank you.

Someone's phone is ringing!

Is it yours?

Please make sure you turn it off.

You should hurry.

Hello?

Are you doing

something you can't tell me about?

Some kind of unspeakable job?

Someone told me.

Hello? Ayano?

Hello?

Are you listening?

Hello?

"The Lowlife"

Here.

- Is this yours? - Yes.

Whoa, it's too strong.

Sure I have bad eyes. I have a grown granddaughter.

She looks a lot like you when you were younger.

Me? Not Takako?

Well, does it matter either way?

Welcome.

Takako.

Do you want something to eat?

No thanks.

Ayako. You've been drawing again?

Let go of me.

I'm so bored.

Mr. Aoki

been winning any bets?

Yeah.

- What? - You look younger.

- What? - I can't see clearly with these.

Hey!

Let me borrow it!

- Hello. - Hello.

Sorry I'm late.

Thanks, Misa.

Hey, you look prettier.

Has he been like this?

The morphine kicked in

and he isn't responding to anything.

He doesn't respond even if I talk to him.

Dad, it's Misa.

Dad.

Oh, look!

He knows that I'm here!

You shouldn't be using that here.

Sorry.

One of our actresses cancelled because of illness.

What do you mean?

I know it's sudden so feel free to say no, but...

the director saw your photo

and said he really liked you.

"Mom: 8 Voice Mail, 24 Missed Call"

He looks like an old man I don't know.

What a thing to say.

Remember when we were playing in Dad's study

and found that DVD?

The porn DVD.

After Mom died

and we finally began to get used to her not being around.

You think Dad masturbated while watching it?

Don't say such things.

But he did his best to cook all of our meals back then.

Spicy cod roe as a side dish every day.

Side dish?

Don't make me imagine Dad masturbating.

He had trouble sewing those cushion covers

that we had to donate for the school fundraisers,

and worked on them all night.

We'd all sit on the sofa together and watch TV.

He let you do whatever you wanted

but I wore that boring uniform for years.

He enrolled you in that private school

because it gave you an advantage

when applying to art schools.

Right, Dad?

You know

you've always been oriented towards stability.

Your way of life, your clothes,

even the guys you went out with.

Unlike me, you've never caused problems for Dad.

So all things considered, everything about you is average.

You could have been perfect

if you'd made him a grandpa.

I'm not saying it's wrong.
