From Miyamoto to You (宮本から君へ)

"Marukita Co. Ltd."

How's it going?

Keep it down.

Oh, sorry.

Be quiet.

Hear anything? - Nope.

Feeling better now?

Yes, a lot better.

What about the other guy?

I heard it'll take him about 2 or 3 months to recover.

You could be charged with assault, then.

The cops questioned me at the hospital,

but the guy doesn't intend to sue so we'll settle out of court.

Let it go. What's done is done.

Don't be ridiculous!

We won't be allowed to just let it go in this day and age!

Oh...

Sorry.

Miyamoto, what will you do from now on?

You won't be single anymore.

Uh, well...

Maybe you're feeling big-headed now,

but fighting won't provide for your family.

With your teeth like that...

you can't do your job.

What will you work for from now on? Why come at all?

Um... I...

I intend to make money for my family.

Then get down to business!

Yes.

Mr. Oda.

I'm sorry you always have to deal with me.

It's my job.

This isn't my problem.

I won't ask why you got into this fight,

but it was so important you let work slide.

I can't say this openly, but

go ahead and do what you want.

People are selfish just being alive.

Go ahead and deem everyone your enemy.

Feel free to antagonize thousands of people.

You're that kind of guy, right?

That's right. I can antagonize anyone, anytime.

And that includes your family.

Uh, well...

Make sure your wife knows she's in for a lot of hardship.

"Taken Miyamoto"

Here you go.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Yasuko Nakano.

I'm Hiroshi's mother.

What's so funny?

Well... Obviously I'm his father.

Make yourself at home, Yasuko.

Thank you.

Don't be shy. Let's keep it casual.

Hanako, hush.

Oh, her name is Hanako?

Oh yeah, why don't I bring out the cakes that Yasuko brought?

Hey, where's the lighter?

It's in the drawer below the bookshelf.

Hello there, Hanako.

We're getting married.

What a way to tell us.

Do it over, Hiroshi.

I knew an older woman would be good for him.

He's such a big baby.

He is kind of like that.

What do you mean?

And he's stubborn.

Hope he's not troubling you.

Of course not.

But do go on, Mrs. Miyamoto!

That's enough, you two.

It's your fault.

When he was in kindergarten...

Oh, don't you like sushi?

No, I love it. Thank you.

I'm still hungry. Let me have some.

It's OK.

So what happened in kindergarten?

I tricked him into going to the ENT doctor.

He grabbed a utility pole near the clinic and wouldn't move.

Shouting, "You cheated, Mom!"

Mom, you have rice here.

That's so like you.

Do you feel sick?

No, I'd just like to use your bathroom.

Yasuko?

I'm fine.

Should we tell the sushi place?

Yes.

Are you OK?

Don't get up.

- Here's some barley tea. - Thank you.

I suppose you shouldn't take any pills.

You're pregnant,

aren't you?

You know what?

I think Yasuko is a nice girl.

Yasuko is a nice girl.

Yeah.

Really nice.

Hiroshi.

What I'm about to say is important.

What?

Say it.

Come on, sit if you're talking.

Hiroshi.

I dislike the way you're handling things.

You never tell us anything.

When you were hospitalized last week...

You injured a man and the police came but you told us nothing.

But that's over and done with.

Of course it's not.

Tell me why you won't let me visit the hospital and apologize.

And now...

you suddenly bring a woman over and say you're marrying.

I told you over the phone.

You said nothing about getting married!

And also...

about her being pregnant. Tell me why you were hiding that.

Pregnant?

She told me.

How much did she tell you?

What do you mean, how much?

Oh, never mind.

What? Say it.

It's nothing.

But...

I said, never mind!

What do you mean?

Never mind! Geez.

Stop being so sneaky.

Hiroshi,

can you become a father like this?

None of your business!

You should have told me so before.

Miyamoto.

What, so you were awake?

What were you talking about?

Hmm?

Just, you know...

getting permission from your folks,

engagement, betrothal gifts,

and wedding plans... Wouldn't leave me alone.

What about the baby?

She found out, huh?

Should we...

keep that a secret?

It's OK, don't worry.

But Miyamoto...

Just don't worry about it.

Your mom...

congratulated me.

Oh!

Unfamiliar with this area?

Yeah.

Want to come over to my place?

That supermarket had a sale and I bought a bunch.

No?

- Uh, I don't mind. - Good.

Then let's go.

- I'll take those. - It's OK.

It's OK.

- I'll take them. - I'm fine.

I'm used to it.

You were singing that before, too.

Really?

So do you do any cooking, Miyamoto?

No, not at all.

Oh, I see.

But let me give you a hand.

No, just stay seated.

- I'll take these, then. - Thanks.

Here you go. Thanks for waiting. - Wow! Thank you.

I'll put them in the middle.

Shall I pour some?

No, it's OK. Eat before it cools.

Then I'll open these.

Thanks.

Let's eat, then.

Tastes good!

Feminine wiles, you see. Care is the spice, love is the flavor.

It's good.

Okinawan stir-fry, right?

Hey!

Yasuko!

It's me!

That idiot.

What should I do?

It's OK. I changed the lock. He can't get in.

What's wrong with you? Hey!

Hurry up and open this door!

Ms. Nakano, I...

It's me, Yuji!

Who are you?

You don't belong here now. Go away.

Who is that?

Just get out of here!
