Fine, Totally Fine (Zenzen daijobu / 全然大丈夫) (全然大丈夫)

FINE, TOTALLY FINE

Here.

Today's lunch.

You want something else?

A doughnut?

Scotch tape!

Bird-watching?

What-watching?

Back in samurai days, it was an execution ground.

It was the middle of summer, but I felt cold chills.

'I don't like this,' I thought, and turned to go back...

...but my foot wouldn't move.

It was like a hand had reached up out of the ground and grabbed me.

And right then...

...I heard a voice from behind me, going...

...'Give me water!

'I'm burning!'

What are you doing?

Nothing.

'Give me water!

'I'm burning!

'Give me water!'

It was like a voice straight out of hell.

Isn't that scary?

Not very.

That's because you're so dense.

That's why you walk around without realizing your dick's out.

I'm beat!

Food...Food...

There's oden left, huh?

No.

You ate it all?!

I tossed it.

You what?!

It smelled weird.

Your nose is weird.

More than your nose, lately.

Your head, your body...

It's not summertime. Oden won't go bad.

Hey...

Take over for a while.

What?!

I'm sick.

I've been doing manual labor since before dawn, you know!

Not just sitting here spaced out like you.

I want to rest my ass off!

Then I'm ordering in.

Sushi.

The good stuff.

You don't know who's had that. It's dirty.

Nothing that'll make you sick.

It might. Germs cause disease, you know.

No one ever got sick from a used book.

Still, they're filthy!

He'll hear you!

There might be someone's snot on that.

No way!

One I bought had snot on it in about ten places!

You're lying!

No, really!

Anyway, who cares? The books are cheap.

And so are you. Look, I'll pay the difference.

Ow!

There's a bug in my eye...

Let me see.

Thanks.

That's not a bug.

It's snot!

That old man who cleans on the second floor...

Yes...

I've never actually seen him drinking...

...but he smells of alcohol, and he staggers.

While I'm working...

You don't drink?

No.

And before work?

Not right before.

How long before?

About an hour.

That sounds like 'right before' to me...

You're working hard.

Hello.

Isn't this Mrs Yoshikawa's area?

Yes.

That's right...

Look.

Gum.

It's been there for a while. It's like rock.

How could you just ignore that? She doesn't take the job seriously.

That's not true...

Yes, it is.

Sure, her husband owned a company, but it went broke.

Well, it's good we've got someone like you to help out...

...even if it's someone else's area.

Thank you.

You're the only one on earth who says nice things to me.

Oh, yes...

We've formed an association to find you a wife.

What do you mean?

A man as nice as you is too easily taken in.

That girl in the office, um...

Ms Umezawa?

Her. She's after you.

No, she isn't!

You miss a lot, don't you.

Or maybe you just pretend to.

That's not true.

I see...

Yes...

Here he is.

It's Mr Shiojiri.

Komori speaking.

I'm still at head office. The meeting's not finished yet.

Could you interview that woman for me?

Yes, sir.

Take care of it.

Do you have that woman's resume?

Yes.

Kinoshita, Akari

She's quite pretty.

Yeah, I guess so.

But she has a negative aura.

Could youse be getting the Tower in wit' us?

Me lens...

I'm sorry.

You meant that.

You be thinking we's a pair o' hicks!

That phony shaking...

You meant that!

I'm sorry!

So much for her.

I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Your nose is bleeding...

Use that tissue paper.

Shall I help?

I'm fine.

War and Peace

Lately...

...I thought I'd read a world classic like this one.

But it's so damn long, and there's too many themes...

Can you suggest...

...a book that might leave you with a feeling of human growth?

Hey...

Want to go to Disneyland?

With you?

Back in samurai days, it was an execution ground.

It was the middle of summer, but I felt cold chills.

'I don't like this,' I thought, and turned to go back...

...but my foot wouldn't move.

It was like a hand had reached up out of the ground and grabbed me.

Just as I was struggling as hard as I could...

...I heard a voice from behind me, going...

...'Give me water!

'I'm burning!

'Give me water!'

It was like a voice straight out of hell.

Sometimes you're afraid to turn around...

...but you're afraid not to turn around, too.

So I said 'to hell with it' and I turned around.

And right then...

Learn from your son, Eitaro.

Life's more fun when you're an idiot.

Just like you planned, huh?

Next time I'm calling the police.

Got you going, huh?

My heart damn near stopped.

You're crazy, you know that?

You haven't seen this one.

It's great.

Who's she?

I don't know.

You can't do that! That's against the law!

Oh, come on!

Wow!

What are you so quiet about?

You're bringing us down.

Well...

...I've had enough of this.

Sorry, but I quit.

We both turn 30 next year.

We can't keep playing these kids' games forever.

Sakamoto Ryoma, Mozart... they'd done great things by now.

I'll be going.

'Night.

Good night.

Oh...

...this is good for dusting your books.

Our company makes them. This one was left over.

Who's a two-bit clerk to talk?

Who does he think he is?

Being treated as a kid has bugged me ever since I was a kid.

Mozart! Yeah, sure!

Messing with my head gives me a headache.

There's some aspirin up in that top drawer.

Could you get if for me?

This?

I don't do this just for fun, you know.

It's work, that's what it is.
