Watch it. You're too close.

Momojiro, be careful. He's a reckless trucker.

So this is the bastard.

Hey, what the hell is this?

So tasteless. Dog paintings.

- Tosa Dog? - Why not Prince Shotoku?

"Ashizuri Love"?

What an uncool light.

"A cool highway guy"?

Yeah!

Stop.

Is that all you have to say?

So you're the guy who challenged me.

Wanna fight?

Hey, what're you doing?

You don't have to go that far, fool!

You said I was tasteless.

I know that.

Momojiro!

Damn you!

You dog. Come!

Nice doggie.

Hey, Jonathan. Help me.

I hate dogs.

Stop.

Ryoma, that's enough.

Damn that dog, that shithead.

CHOSHI HARBOR

Hey, hurry up with it!

Honey?

We just got a job cal1'ying feed for fanned yellowtail to Kochi.

I know you'll be lonely, but I have to go.

That means you'll take the ferry from Harumi.

Then why can't you come home for a night?

Even just for an hour.

Hey, be quiet!

Darling. You know what will happen if you leave me all alone?

I'm going to work in the sex industry.

Not that!

I'll make it up to you when I return.

I'm still virile.

I don't have any more coins.

Hello? Darling?

Darling? Damn it.

"Ev, kids!

Why can't you keep quiet when I'm on the phone?

Ma. Are you really going to be a sex worker?

Do that and build our own roon1 for us.

- Please! - Please.

Shut up!

TOKYO HARBOR FERRY WHARF

Jonathan. You exercise, too.

Are you ill?

You look down.

Since I'm away so often,

my wife's threatening to work at a sex shop.

Don't worry.

I'll go often and ask for her.

Yes, thanks.

Are you kidding?

Oh, a lone seagull.

No, a pair.

Idiot, just one.

0h yeah?

Are you dreaming?

Get a grip.

Bravo!

That was great.

You sing like a real pro.

I am.

What? A pro singer?

Then you're on a concert tour of Kochi?

Nothing that fancy.

May I ask your name?

Yuka Onogawa.

Yuka Onogawa...

What songs have you recorded?

No records.

I'm touring remote areas.

Remote?

I sing in cabarets to drunk customers.

So it's no wonder you don't know my name.

But you have a great voice. I was mesmerized.

I can't believe the Japanese record industry isn't all over you.

I'm happy you say that.

I'm in transportation,

but I once went to Musashino Music School.

I'm really particular when it comes to music.

So you studied classical music?

No, I was in the Japanese enka song division.

Enka song division at Musashino?

It must have been lovely.

Saburo Kitajima was at the bottom of our class.

Then maybe you can teach me.

I'm pretty rusty.

Here, when there's a change in keys...

the transition to G minor is so hard.

Minus G huh?

You, get up.

Excuse me.

And these high notes? I want to sing them legato.

Dessert, huh?

And here in, the refrain?

I'd like a prettier harmony.

Harmonica?

Wait a second.

Oh, 250 dollars. It's blowing away.

Oh, no.

- 250 dollars. - Oh, no.

250.

Leave it to me. I'll retrieve it.

KOCHI

Thank you.

YOKONAMI SKYLINE

Jonathan. What's wrong?

Jonathan?

Jonathan. What's the matter?

Are you all right?

Momo...

My eyes are all funny.

Oh, Kimie. You came.

I delivered Jonathan's freight, so don't worry.

What? He's gone?

He's gone, Momo.

I looked all over the hospital but he's not here.

Oh no, you don't think...

Suicide?

CAPE ASHIZURI

- Momo! - Momojiro!

We found Jonathan.

Oh, it's Momo.

Momo. Fellow truckers.

Thanks for your friendship.

Don't jump ' Stop!

- Jonathan! - Don't.

Not doing it.

- Jonathan! - We're coming.

Don't stop me. Don't.

Fool. I understand how you feel,

but think of your wife and nine children.

I'm not cut out for this dirty world.

Momo, forgive me for going ahead of you.

Remarry Kimie.

Take care of my nine children.

MY dying poem:

"At Ashizuri, the beach on a remote Tokai island.

"I play with the crabs walking sideways."

Don't, Jonathan.

Ignore him.

But...

What?

Take no notice.

If we make a scene, he'll try even harder.

Oh, I see.

Hey, what a great view.

Great!

There was a jumper yesterday, too.

I heard his head was smashed to bits.

Smashed to bits...

Are you kidding?

Don't stop me.

Mister, don't do it.

Please don't. Mister, don't.

Mister.

- Jonathan! - Are you all right?

You're all right now.

You! You're his friends.

Why didn't you stop him?

You're heartless.

Be kind to him.

Understand?

Yes. I do.

Welcome.

Hi.

Coffee and cake.

We don't have any cake.

- That's all right. - Here's your coffee.

What's her name?

Yes, that girl...

That's Fumiko. I'm Tamiko.

Who asked you?

- Oh, your change. - Fumiko.

It's me.

Thank you so much.

You saved my friend.

God knows what would have happened without you.

Not at all.

Your lecture hit home.

I was very kind and took him to Suzaki Hospital.

Has he regained his will to live?
