Free and Easy 11 (釣りバカ日誌イレブン)

I got one!

Hama-chan, let's call it a day.

You kidding?

They just started to bite.

But you've got work to do.

I know that.

But I've got no desire to work.

If I catch more fish, I might get the desire.

Hachi.

I'll quit for now. Let's go.

You'll be late again.

Why is that?

You know what time it is?

Don't you worry.

I time my fishing so I won't be I ate for work.

How can you say that?

Go home, eat breakfast,

go to the toilet...

change clothes, kiss Michiko and catch the train...

It'll take at least 2 hours. It's already 7 o'clock!

Stop grumbling.

Go straight to the main office from here.

Captain, let's go!

Rentaro Mikuni

This is the last time... and I mean it!

Ah! Hold it!

Good morning.

President and big wheels.

I'm ready to work hard for Suzuki Construction.

What's that smell?

Is it you smelling fishy?

Yes, it is. I'm sorry.

I went sea bass fishing early this morning.

Lure fishing from a boat.

When a sea bass takes a bite on a lure...

It leaps out of the water to clean its gills.

An amateur would lose a fish then, but not me.

I love all the maneuvering.

This is the Business Dept.

This floor, right?

What? Already here?

How many did you catch?

10 fish. 20 inch class.

You must be tired.

Yes, pleasantly tired.

I'm not sure I can stay awake at my desk.

Quick, close the door.

He's not worthy of his salary.

I agree.

For Okinawa people, a typhoon is good and bad.

It brings freshwater to the islands.

Wind power plant.

For substitute energy, it's epoch-making.

It'll take time to put it to practical use.

When I was in middle-school,

I put up a pole in our garden.

With a windmill, but it only lit up a miniature bulb.

I never put it to practical use.

You should go to Okinawa once.

You know they've been asking you to come.

Hmm, to Okinawa...

Yes.

Mr. Clark from SK Consulting is here, sir.

Good morning.

This is Mr. Clark from a foreign Consulting Company.

It's about signing a contract for a preliminary check.

And he took the trouble to visit us today.

How do you do.

He says his name is John Clark, and how do you do.

Talk it over with Akiyama.

Very well, sir.

Let's discuss delicacy in another room.

Details...

Yes, details, details.

Mr. Clark, let's get away.

Haraguchi is here about a personnel matter.

Let me rest a while.

I've been in a whirl since morning.

Very well, sir.

Chief. Please.

It's nice and green.

One potted plant can calm a stressed-out mind.

You're so tender hearted.

Oh, no, not that much...

Well...

Huh?

Can I keep a pet at the company?

Pet? Dog or cat?

No. A rabbit.

Well, a rabbit..

Rabbit?

Not in the office.

There's a big space up on the roof. I'll put a cage there.

I'll do all the feeding.

What are you saying? No, you can't!

I guess not. You're right.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Aren't you stressed out?

No, I'm not.

You can take a day or two off. Just ask.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's sizzling hot!

I quit now. It's already noon, yeah!

Yesterday was happy payday for us.

Today is a happier day for all of us.

As is customary with our 3rd Section.

It's a day to thank Chief Sasaki for his generosity.

Mr. Ishikawa of the 2nd Section...

Brings his lunch and never leaves his desk.

But during lunch hour, our Chief Sasaki...

Goes to all kinds of restaurants outside.

Let him treat all of us again today.

People of the 2nd Section, watch very closely.

The figure of Mr. Sasaki, leading our glorious way.

It's hot.

Thank you very much!

The tanuki noodles were good.

My fox noodles were good.

I ate fox noodles too.

I had tanuki noodles.

Real good. Fox noodles.

You know something, Chief?

Every time you treat us, it's always animal related.

How about finny tribe noodles sometime?

Kippers or fried shrimp on noodles...

I said, eat what you want.

If you want fried shrimp noodles, then order it.

You can say that, Chief...

But you order fox noodles when you're treating us.

We feel awkward ordering more expensive dishes.

Right, everyone?

Now listen...

Fox noodles are my favorite dish.

I pay for your lunch and then get a hard time.

That's it! I'll never treat you guys again!

Ahh, he's mad.

Soothe him down.

Chief!

He sure is short-fused.

It won't help him get promoted. Poor guy.

I'm still hungry. Maybe I'll eat something.

Hamasaki!

Did you eat?

What?

Rice and noodles at Mikasa.

Their Chinese noodles are good. I should have gone.

Hamasaki, you got time?

I've always got time. Want a cup of coffee?

You see, I've got a problem.

I want you to help me.

All right.

I'll get the coffee.

Then, get me a hamburger.

Make it a fishburger!

Yeah, it was good. Thanks.

Yes.

Now, I'm happy.

Let's go.

My problem?

Ah, that's right,

I almost forgot. What's your problem?

Well, you see...

Let me warn you first.

I can't help you with love and money affairs.

It's nothing like that.

Hamasaki, do you like rabbits?

I love them.

I should have had that for lunch.

I said, rabbits!

Oh, not a rabbit fish? Rabbit, rabbit...

You said rabbits?

I don't dislike them, but their eyes are red.

When they stare at me, I get an uneasy feeling.

So, I guess I'm not too fond of them.

You don't like rabbits.

It's hopeless, then.

You're so downcast, what about rabbits?

About 3 months ago.

Cute little rabbits were being sold at a festival.

It's kind of cute.

They were ¥1,000, so I bought one.

I kept it on my apartment veranda.

But then...

It grew so big in no time.

It's not housebroken like dogs or cats.

It just eats and eats, it's more than I can handle.

I understand, sure. It's too much, for you.

And not housebroken.

My apartment's super found out about it.

He said I'm violating the rental agreement.

But I can't just throw it away.

I hoped you could help me somehow.

I see, so that's the problem.

All right.

I'll work something out. Leave it up to me.

But you don't like rabbits, Hamasaki.
