SHOCHIKU PRESENTS

What, me?

I'm out on the bay.

I'm out at sea now!

Have Akiyama do it?

I can't swim back from here!

Aren't you fishing?

One thing after another!

What's wrong?

I'm sick of fishing for goby in this filthy Tokyo Bay.

I want to go where there's bigger fish.

Su, I can't go away overnight.

If I don't see my son's face, I just can't go to sleep.

But just once or twice a month...

Su, you remember what it's like having a baby.

How they roll over in their sleep and kick something

then rub at their belly-button

I'm so happy just thinking of it my heart starts to pound!

- Candy? - Oh, thanks.

Yep, If I had to choose between fishing and the kid

it'd be the kid, right away.

You could take the paper off!

When did you change from fishing nut to doting father?

On the day that Mr. Stork brought Koitaro to our house.

The stork?!

Su, you've got one.

Yeah, I know.

Then reel him in.

A baby goby! Oh, the poor little thing!

You're just a baby!

We'll just take that hook out for you...

What are you doing?!

Sending him back to his mother.

Some of the adults are only that big!

What are you talking about?! That's enough for me today.

That baby makes me want to see Koitaro.

Hachi! I'm going home!

The others still want to fish!

So what? Let's go!

If you want to go home now, then swim back!

Swim?! What kind of crap is that?

Watch it, old man. He used to box.

Well, so did I...

You did not, Hama!

Everyone paid the same for this.

Yeah, but this bastard told me to swim home! If you want--

- I'm really sorry... - Screw you!

I'm going home!

Sorry... if I get off here, I can walk home in two minutes.

You I won't forget!

Okay, Hachi?

We'll put back out as soon as they're off.

Excuse me.

Hama! Koitaro's gone!

What?!

While I was doing the laundry!

Where'd he go?!

Koitaro!

Hey... Hama!

Koitaro!

Don't yell or he'll fall!

All right!

Quietly!

Wait... I'm his father.

Softly!

Koitaro...

Koitaro...

Koitaro...

Don't move!

Don't move, now... stay there, okay?

Come on, man!

Koitaro! Koitaro!

Don't move! Stay there!

I'm coming!

Wait, now... just wait...

Hachi, Hachi, hold my feet will you? Yeah, like that.

Koitaro... Koitaro...

I'm going to stand up, okay?

Quick!

30 centimetres.

20.

10 more.

Don't move!

Koitaro... don't move.

Are you okay?

Don't move, now...

A turtle!

Koitaro... come on...

Sorry to cause all this trouble.

Sorry to bother you all... thanks...

Are you okay?

Can you swim?

Okay, that should fix it.

But that's quite a kid we've got.

He pushed that door open himself!

He's like a little wild boar!

We'll have to cage in the whole house!

Su, your phone...

Come here, Koitaro...

You know, Michiko, he might be good at martial arts.

Judo or wrestling.

Then what about swimming? We've already applied.

But he's built just right... a low centre of gravity, too.

I don't care if we're low!

Push them up! Use your head!

On the phone?

A sumo wrestler! Yeah!

Do you think he'll get that strong?

Does no one even think?!

Hey Su...

What is it?

If Koitaro takes up sumo, will you buy him

that special apron?

If we're still in business then.

Again!

Listen, I want to ask you something...

Does something smell?

Hey, Did you? Did you? Yes, you did!

I'm sorry!

You did!

That's disgusting!

That's my baby's shit.

Colour: good. Odour: good.

Taste: good. He's healthy.

Give me something to wipe it off with.

Why?

Because it's dirty!

Just a minute here!

You know what Koitaro's piss is to me?

Distilled water. If you told me to drink it, I would.

And what do you think his shit is? Huh?

Cream cheese!

Su, don't you think you're being

a little cold towards Koitaro?

With children, it's wise to maintain a certain distance.

Well, thank you very much for the advice.

I'll bear it firmly in mind. "Maintain a certain distance."

Yes, I see... they do say at the office, though

that your two kids never visit home.

Hama,

what do my children have to do with this?

They have a lot to do with it.

You're sticking your nose into my way of parenting.

Hm? What did you say?

Eh? That you're sticking your nose to my way of parenting.

You don't hove a "way of parenting."

All you do is dote on him, like a cat with kittens.

You'll pay for it later when he doesn't grow up right.

- Su... go home. - I will not.

- I want you to go. - No, I won't.

I'm asking you to leave!

You'll upset the kid if you shout like that.

See?

Settle down, both of you!

Why are you fighting all the time?

But Michiko, did you hear what this old goof said?!

Who's an old goof?!

Why can't you get along?!

Before we had the baby, you two would sit up all night

talking about where to fish and how to catch lots of them.

All this yelling at each other will be a bad influence!

- Michiko, I'm sorry. - I am, too.

Su, I shouldn't have called you an old goof.

As long as you know that.

This recession must hurt...

Well, I don't know.

Our business is different from other companies'.

I think for us the bubble will burst in two or three years.

Rah-rah Su!

With my employees families, 6,000 people depend on me.

A lot of responsibility.

Well, come see us any time.

Thank you... well...

- Good night. - Good night.

Is he asleep?

Yep. Did Su go?

Yeah... but why does he come to a place like this to see us?

Maybe with no grandchildren he's lonely.

Michiko...

I'm lonely, too.

I've still got to clean up.

Can't that wait till tomorrow?

No... I'm tired.

- Hama! - Michiko!

No! No!

No, I said. No!

- But... - No!

- He's asleep! - No!

"Dey, dey, dey"?

MERGE

Good morning.

What are you doing?!

- Sir... - What is it?

New York called.

What does New York want?
