Love Life (LOVE LIFE)

Hello, Osawa speaking.

Sorry, I didn't notice.

Another argument?

Yeah, I can hear it now.

- Keita, pass me that. - Okay.

Sorry, carry on.

Isn't Ogawa working today?

I'll come, then.

I'll hurry. Don't try to sort it out by yourself.

See you in a bit.

Your turn, Mummy.

We'll finish it later.

Jiro!

I have to pop out for a bit.

I won't be long.

Just a sec. Check this out first.

Ready, steady, go!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Jiro, 3 and 4 are the wrong way round.

- What are you doing? - Oops, sorry!

Just get it right later.

Taeko!

Hello!

See you later.

My husband hasn't been over there, has he?

No.

He wandered off somewhere this morning.

He hasn't been here.

What?

He hasn't been here!

Okay. He's probably playing pachinko.

Tell Jiro I'm going to look for him.

J

My parents are coming at 11:00.

J

Sorry! I'm late.

- You are late. - 'Morning.

Hey, the balloons have arrived!

Sorry, on your day off.

Is it still going on?

He was calming down, then it kicked off again.

He knocked my phone on the ground.

What if he'd broken it?

I was just stopping him taking photos.

You dropped the phone yourself.

Toyoda-san.

Can we go over there and talk?

I've had enough!

I don't have time for this!

Toyoda-san, you've been drinking, haven't you?

- No. - Let me see that.

It's juice.

It's booze!

Hello.

Hi.

Where are you going?

We've done the rehearsal. Jiro said to wait in the café.

Sorry, he's too serious about it.

Keita.

Daddy told me to come and find you.

You've grown, Keita.

Say hello.

Hello.

Do you remember them? You met them at the wedding.

Otsuki-san.

Otsuki, Tsuboi, Tomiyama.

What a memory!

Jiro talks about you all quite a lot.

- Who am I, then? - Well...

Don't you know him?

Kajiwara-san.

You beat me to it!

Hojyo-san, and...

Sorry, I couldn't come to your wedding.

I'm Yamazaki. Your husband has always been helpful to me.

- Anyway, we'd better be going. - Okay.

See you later.

Bye-bye.

Be careful.

J

You could have called me.

- I did. It rang in the apartment. - What?

You're always forgetting it.

Not always.

It's the third time this year.

What? I don't know about that.

Yes, you do.

- No, I don't. - Yes, you do.

I don't.

Yes, you do.

- You're back. - Hello there!

Mum, do you want to play Othello?

- Keita. - Yes?

- Wash your hands. - Yes.

But why?

Napolitana sauce?

It smells good.

Congratulations on your victory, Keita

It's really good.

Not too over the top?

No, it's good.

Othello, Othello, Othello...

- Whose turn is it? - Yours.

What was up?

At the soup kitchen. Trouble?

A fight, as usual.

But you sorted it, I suppose.

I made a mistake. Can I do it again?

Go on.

- Is he beating you again? - Not yet.

Keita, you only play with your mum.

Feeling left out?

Yes, I am!

Keita, can you play with your dad next time?

Yeah, okay.

But he's rubbish.

- That doesn't matter. - He gets grumpy.

Yeah, he's a big baby!

Taeko, can you give me a hand?

Yes.

Can you dish up the fried chicken?

- Where's the lemon? - In the fridge.

Parsley too.

I bumped into everyone.

Down there?

Yeah.

There was one I didn't know.

Her name is Yamazaki. She didn't come to our wedding.

I think she was sick at the time.

You're always talking about people at work,

but you've never mentioned her.

Really?

Is there something special about her?

Why do you say that?

Why's Yamazaki here?

Jiro said to get lots of people.

- Don't you know? - Don't I know what?

She's Osawa's ex.

What?

They were going to get married, but he cheated on her.

What? Are you serious?

The other woman is now his wife.

- That's pretty bad, isn't it? - Yeah, it is.

Super awkward!

What the hell is she doing here?

- Where are you going? - Toilet.

Look, it's Osawa's dad!

Shit! Hide, everybody!

J

What?

Sorry about what I said earlier.

I'm not going anywhere.

I know.

I wonder if your dad will finally accept us today.

There's nothing to accept or refuse. We're married now.

Yes, I know, but...

Done!

J

Yes!

They're here.

Hello.

Keita!

- You're late. - Sorry.

How are you?

We're here!

Wow, amazing! It's like it's your birthday.

Congratulations on winning the game contest.

- Othello. - What?

- It's Othello, not a game! - Yes, quite right.

- It's not a game? - He doesn't like calling it a game.

Oh, right!

Father-in-law, can I take your hat?

Oh, that takes me back!

Taeko, does this work?

We get pigeon droppings on our balcony.

I'm not so sure, it's more of a lucky charm.

- Really? - But I think it sort of works.

Keita, stop playing now.

I haven't finished.

You can finish it later.

Okay.

Don't tread on it.

- Can I switch this off? - Yeah.

- Did you win? - Yes.

You can come now

Right, let's get moving!

Okay.

You're asleep!

- Otsuki-san, I haven't paid. - It's okay.

Osawa-san gave me some money.

Sorry,

I can't come.

Yamazaki-san!

Get after them!

They're quick!

They were in the school athletics team.

- And you? - Literature club.

What?

What are we going to do about the placards?
