I Am What I Am (そばかす)

I Am What I Am

I can't help but stare.

And mussels?

Well, they aren't see-through.

We touched, that was super sweet.

Wasn't on purpose!

Totally intentional, right?

It was an accident, I swear!

You touched me, too.

Ms. Sobata...?

Yoo-hoo?

Is this not any fun?

No, I'm having fun. Food's good, too.

So what kind of gesture...

makes your heart skip a beat, Ms. Sobata?

Good question.

You're quite sly too, huh.

Yeah, a total predator!

I'm asking Ms. Sobata.

I liked how you peered into her face.

Did I do that?

You did! Right?

- Seriously? - Hey, you glasses.

I liked that.

Huh?

Doesn't it make your heart flutter?

- Yes. - Yes!

Seriously? You like Sudo too?

I'm actually into you, Mr. Kashimura.

Seriously?

Why am I being turned down?

- Sorry, man. - Shut up.

Take it easy.

I'm going to the restroom.

Shut up, jeez.

So what's your type, Ms. Sobata?

My type...?

You're pretty mysterious, huh.

Am I?

What do you do on dates?

Dates...

Normal stuff. Like going to the movies.

You like movies? Who's your favorite actor?

I only know like Tom Cruise.

That's because you're stupid.

I like War of the Worlds .

The Tom Cruise movie.

Oh, you liked it?

I like the way he runs in it.

In War of the Worlds , Tom is just a regular old guy.

He's a longshoreman, and he's really human.

He's not cool at all.

In all the other movies, he's like this awesome spy and stuff.

Going for a smoke? I'll join you.

So, hey.

Want to go see something together?

Sure, let's all go. Kinuko too.

No, I mean...

Just us.

Why?

You know...

I think I might really like you.

Here's your gyoza.

The egg split, so it's on the house.

Thank you.

Stop that, jeez.

Stop what?

You're insane.

I'm just telling it like it is.

Like it is? Yeah right.

Never in a million years!

Just you wait.

Stop it, I don't want to hear it.

I'm home.

- Hi honey. - You're crazy, Grandma.

That's the way life is.

She's totally lost it now.

I'm just saying it's possible.

No way. Never.

What is?

That Kento might cheat on me. I'm pregnant.

Which is exactly why.

Mom.

He's not man enough to have an affair.

He's at headquarters now. On the fast track.

Then he probably is.

I'll punch you.

I'll punch you back.

When I was pregnant, your grandpa...

Yeah, whatever. Not gonna happen.

It does happen. That's life.

I never thought I'd go through three divorces either.

The baby can hear you, shut up.

Old women can't shut up. That's what makes us old women.

I'm going home.

Yeah? Take care.

Bye.

Why were you so late, Kasumi?

She went to a mixer today.

What, yeah?

I didn't know.

Well, that's something.

How was it?

Someone from work? Any nice boys?

Sure, lots of tall, cute, billionaires.

Kasumi!

- What did you have? - Pasta.

- And drink? - Wine.

- What about your bath? - Later.

What?

Tell me all about the mixer.

Don't sit down.

My back is hurting me recently.

It was just dinner with a friend.

Take good care of that friend. You're 30 now...

Is this about marriage again?

If you don't want to talk about it, fine.

Seems like Dad's feeling better.

He's going out now, right?

He's even taken up cooking.

Up we go.

Ugh, go buy some more colorful clothes.

Okay, I will, I will.

Take your bath.

Sure, fine. Goodnight.

Get some sleep, okay?

Yes. Yes, of course.

I will be sure to let them know.

Thank you for your call.

Again, my name is Sobata. Have a nice day.

Remember that guy Kashimura?

The better looking one.

Yeah, you liked him, huh.

Who, me?

Yeah, didn't you?

Give me a break, damn it.

Oops, sorry.

He was the worst, I swear.

The worst, huh?

Times seven.

Think of the worst guy you could ever imagine.

Got it?

Now multiply that by seven.

Seriously? Dang.

I'm so over him.

I'm really glad I have you. Thanks.

No probs.

You think I should forget about him?

Yeah, forget him.

Hey, you free tomorrow?

Why?

Dinner.

Sorry.

What, you're busy?

Real sorry, I can't.

You don't have to apologize.

Is it wrong for a mother to take part in the matchmaking process?

Of course not.

Nowadays, parents need to support their children's matchmaking.

Many happy couples today owe it to their parents' passionate assistance.

Please help me!

It would be my pleasure.

My daughter is so stubborn.

If I even do so much as bring up the topic of marriage, she glares at me.

Me, her own mother!

I understand.

Thank you.

So now, this is our...

She went to a mixer the other day.

My, how wonderful.

- This plan... - You see...

Hey, Dad.

Almost didn't recognize you.

I read an article that said jump roping works better than antidepressants.

So hey.

When are you going to quit the call center?

Well, I have to make a living you know.

Yeah.

Almost got it.

Just in. Actor Kazuhiro Uchida has announced that he got married.

The happy couple just posted a photo on social media...

- Where were you? - The beach.

Again?

Did you brush all the sand off?

Hey, move.

Are you going to eat?

Nah.

You're taking me somewhere, right?

Yeah, in a little bit.

Welcome.

Hello.

What is this place?

Our destination.

We're going shopping, right?

Yes, of course.

Ms. Sobata, welcome.

Hello.

Where are we?

Just come.

Please leave your shoes here.
