SECOND LOVE

Turn off the lights.

Excuse me, can you please turn off the lights?

- What? - What is it?

The flowers are about to die from the heat.

Just bring some other flowers.

Can you please just turn off the lights?

- Otherwise, I'll take it home. - All right, let's take a break.

Turn off the lights!

Look at this. I feel so bad.

- What? Nothing's wrong. - Touch it.

It's actually really hot.

Can't something done about the light?

It can't be helped. We've dimmed it as much as we could already.

- Miss Kazumi, come have a look. - All right.

- That flower there. - Yes.

If we were to put it there, isn't it missing some colors?

To the right.

- Yoko! - Yes?

- There are succulents in the wagon, right? - Should I bring them?

Yes, and the palms too. They're in the back seat.

Thank you for your hard work!

I was dying in there. When you get these back in the greenhouse,

can you have Mr. Tsuda look at them?

- Got it. - Please apologize for me.

- Okay! - Oh, and...

Tell him I said I won't forgive him if he's mean to you.

I can't say such a thing!

- "I can't say such a thing"! - Hey!

- Tomorrow at 10am, do you remember? - I'll come pick up at 9:30am.

Great, thank you.

Thank you for your hard work. Take care.

Kazumi!

- Great job. - That was great, thank you.

Really? Please call us again.

- Next time, you come on as a guest. - Oh, come on!

Oh, I'm doing a show. Please come if you can.

- That's impressive. - You too, Mr. Yabe.

- Thanks. - Please take them.

Well, thanks for the hard work!

- Want me to take you to the station? - It's okay, I'll get a cab.

Be careful, then. Thanks for your hard work.

- Ah, Miss Hinata. - Yes.

Are you usually regular?

- For the most part. - I see.

The results aren't in, so I can't tell yet.

- I see. - So...

Come back in a week if you still haven't gotten it.

- Yes. - Then, we'll be able to tell.

- Make an appointment for her. - Yes.

Is 11 AM a week from now okay?

- Yes, thank you very much. - Please, take care.

- Take care. - Next, please.

- Here. Mandolin. - Thank you.

I like how this place is always calm.

That's because you have good taste.

I love the fact that it isn't flashy.

I don't like things that look more expensive than they are.

Things that cost 10.000 yen should look like they costed 1.000 yen.

- That tree looks expensive, right? - Depends on who looks at it.

Here. This is for Miki's birthday.

It's amazing how you remember somebody else kid's birthday.

How about me?

Grazie!

But I want the real deal.

Okay. Do you want one now?

- Oh, no... - You're such a coward.

Say, aren't you going to have kids?

Why?

Getting remarried makes you think about these things, no?

Should I have your child, Tomoharu?

Stop!

Are you going to betray your husband?

I would never do that. I love Hideo.

I just don't get you. You're so complex and bizarre.

You see, having kids for a woman means

having her own child.

- So, it doesn't matter who the father is? - I didn't say that.

It wouldn't be so bad if the father were you, Tomoharu.

No, no. No kids. It's better without kids.

Just like before.

I'll think about it.

That's amazing. You're a pro.

- This doesn't come close to being a pro. - But if you compare it with before...

You sure have talent.

Dear, can you pick up the phone?

Yes, Hinata speaking.

Hello? Hinata speaking. Who is this?

Hey!

What's wrong?

- It's that phone call again. - What?

The guy who hangs up without saying anything.

Why is it a guy? He doesn't say anything, right?

The guy didn't think I would answer. That's why he hung up.

And that's why it's a guy?

Are you going to make me say it? Are you going to pretend like you don't know?

But we don't know who it is. It could be a mistake.

Nobody makes that many mistakes.

He's a pathetic guy.

Wait, dear.

Dear. What do you mean by that?

I slipped up.

Say what you mean. Come on!

I don't like this. Say what you mean!

Is it okay? To say what I really want to say?

Go ahead, say it.

What is up with you? You're always like this.

When things aren't favorable for you, you lock yourself in your room.

When are you going to grow up? I'm the one forced to grow up!

Do you plan on being together? Open up! I'm serious!

Open it!

- Stop it! - It's too late.

Come on, let me hear it.

You... you... What do you want?

- About what? - I can't believe this.

What were we talking about? Go ahead!

This is a house we're renting.

The door can be fixed any time. Your annoying personality needs attending right now!

All right. The phone call was just a mistake.

- Is that good? - What do you mean, good?

- Apologize. - Just let me be.

Apologize now!

Why do I have to?

Stop trying to frighten me pretending to be dead.

It's tasteless.

Gross! What are you thinking?!

But didn't you think I was actually dead for a second?

Since when has this become a habit?

- Ever since I joined the company. - Liar.

You said since you were in elementary school the other day.

Then, don't ask again.

Hey, have you ever had sex in the water?

- That's not possible! - Then, how about inside a car?

You have! I know you have!

I didn't say such a thing.

Stop. What's gotten into you today? Not here.

Then, let's get into bed.

- Are you ready for your show? - Pretty much.

What is this?

The door bell rang right now.

Huh?

Who is there?

Who might you be?

Excuse me. Is this the Takahashi residence?

No, it's not! Look at the name plate!

Do you know where the Takahashi residence is?

No clue!

It's next door! Next door!

Who the hell is that guy?

And we were having such a good time...

- Should we stop? - No way...

I'm completely deflated.

Don't say that...

Not anymore.

- What's the temperature today? - Seven degrees, probably.

- It's warm. - It's cold.

Let's go!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

- Almost everything is set up already. - Really? Thank you.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Come as soon as you can.

- See you later. - Bye.

She would always be running around looking like a construction worker.

I can't tell the difference between her and a gardener, you know.

I mean a gardener is a respectable profession.

But I have no clue what a green coordinator is.

It's not very popular yet, so...

If you look at her pieces, you can probably tell,

but the level of her work is completely different from ours.

- Is that so? - Yes.

We no longer live in an age where people just have plants in the room.

- Right, Yoko? - Yes, that's right!
