The Woodsman and the Rain (キツツキと雨)

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Excuse me, sir!

Yes?

We're in the middle of a take.

What?

We're doing a take.

What?

You see, we're, uh...

shooting a movie over there.

And?

Would you mind stopping the noise

for just a moment?

A moment?

Well, I mean more like, uh...

a while.

Which is it?

Just a little bit.

I've stopped.

Okay, I'll give you a sign.

It's stopped.

I had him stop.

Good, keep it that way.

Let me know when you roll.

Copy that.

Can I prune?

Pruning.

Can I prune?

If it isn't noisy, sure.

Picture's up!

Quiet please!

Quiet please!

THE WOODSMAN AND THE RAIN

Now for the weather forecast

throughout the country.

The sky should clear up

with few clouds across Japan.

In the Tokai and Hokuriku areas,

you can expect...

blue skies throughout the day

The highs will rise to

I 5°C in Hokuriku,

and around I8°C in Tokai.

I'm off to work.

Keep coming, keep coming... good.

A little closer... good.

Hey!

What?

Rain's coming.

How long?

Maybe 30 minutes.

Maru san, look.

Wow, he grew up quick.

Yeah, in the blink of an eye.

How old is he?

Three, remember?

Katsu san, look.

I already saw him.

But he's grown since then.

Look, see?

He's cute, huh?

Cutest thing in the world.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

You okay?

Want some?

Oh, thanks.

It's good stuff.

Thank you.

Katsu san.

No thanks.

Why not?

Can't eat sweets.

His doctor told him he can't.

Really?

My blood sugar level is

too high or something.

Good, huh?

Yeah, just sweet enough.

With premium chestnuts.

Is that right?

Oh, it's raining?

Hey!

Hey, what?

Hey!

Hey!

You slacker.

No job?

I'm still looking.

You'll only quit again.

Ow...

Hey, you okay?

Let me see.

Don't make any plans for the 26th.

The second anniversary

of Mum's death!

Ready, push.

Ready, push.

Ready, push.

Thank you so much.

Ready, push.

We appreciate it.

Oh no, it's nothing.

It's on my way to work anyway.

Hope that area looks

nice and mountainous.

This whole area is like that.

That's what you wanted, right?

Right.

The rain yesterday ruined

the river we were going to film.

Where?

Uh, the one by the big shrine...

Oh, Shiraishi?

That river's no good.

What?

It floods now that

the trees are gone.

I warned them not

to cut those trees.

But the Ebisawa river

should be fine.

It's the prettiest around here.

Hope it's big enough for

ten people splashing around.

That should be no problem.

Was that right?

Right.

Sorry.

A crab.

The water tastes good, too.

Any other rivers around here?

This isn't big enough.

Just put the ten people

in a single line.

They need to be spread out.

This is the prettiest.

Doesn't need to be pretty.

Ten people, no problem.

Amorous Aristocrats

Love Hotel

Mizoguchi River?

Wait, let me write it down.

Shoot, I dropped my pen.

Damn, I can't find it.

And what are you?

Shouldn't you help him?

But, well...

You're a lot younger than him.

Yes, but uh...

I'm sorry.

I don't need an apology.

C'mon, move.

Move?

Just do something!

Yes, sorry.

Okay, just wait

What're you doing?

Right, right, got it.

Got it.

Would you mind taking us

to this Mizoguchi River?

Sorry, I really need to get going.

Don't give me that.

You can't just abandon us here.

It's a bit far

Thank you!

It's over the mountain.

Not a problem.

Your pen.

Katsu san?

Katsu san?

Damn, by foot?

Good enough?

Yes...

Katsu san, so how do we get here?

You just did it.

No, by car!

I got stuck with something.

I won't get there until after 9am.

Get started without me.

Right now? I'm at Yoshio's store

using his phone.

Say, who's in this movie anyway?

Well...

C'mon, who's in it?

Just tell me.

Yoshio.

Quit embarrassing yourself.

Why's it you helping 'em?

I'm not helping them.

Know a lot about movies

or somethin'?

Not at all.

And you think you can help 'em?

I said I'm not!

Oh, they're here.

They're here.

Listen, one car is lost.

Huh.
