Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e01 Episode Script

1
There's a stairway leading to the basement of a fantastic world.
The place is filled with smell of Chinese cakes baking
and beyond that tasteless, shocking pink door,
I could hear the sound of hysteric singing.
They called this almost-hideout their "atelier."
Today, we'll
Eh? What's that?
It's too early!
That's perverted!
Oh, scary.
Huh? What?
I'm tired of this town.
Hey there!
Hey, wait up! Wait, wait!
You! The high school girl with long hair!
Wait!
Face! Face! Let me see your face!
Hey!
Cut it out!
I don't have time for you!
Bingo!
You're super hot!
How tall are you?
You must be at least 170 cm tall
We could use that
I'm in a hurry, so
Bye!
Hey! Wait!
Wait! Hey! Wait up, Bingo-chan!
Hey! Wait!
Please! Hey!
P-Pardon me!
Don't be in such a hurry
young lady.
Right.
Hey, Izabella!
Don't let go of that girl!
Catch her!
Hey! Hang in there!
Catch?
an Angel of Death?
Shinigami: God or personification of death.
Good job, Izabella.
Dear God
I've lived virtuously for these past eighteen years.
How can you do this to me?
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have done
a lot of the other things I wanted to do and not just study.
But what do I want to do?
I've never even thought about it.
My life is so monotonous.
This smells like incense
Wow, angels have pink hair.
I didn't know that.
Oh, she's awake.
Where am I?
You're up?
Wait!
No!
I'm in hell!
Don't!
Hell!
Wait!
No!
A model for a fashion show?
Me?
Yup.
Umm Do you know Yazawa Art School?
Ai Yazawa is the creator of Paradise Kiss.
Yeah.
You know it! That's so cool!
Sheesh.
Actually, our school is pretty well-known.
We're Fashion Design third years.
At Yazawa Art, we have a school festival every November
and we're looking for a model for that.
School festival?
You have great style
and you fit perfectly with the image we had in mind for the dress.
Yup!
What?
Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
Are you going to do it?
Yay!
Are you kidding me?
Sorry, but
I'm getting ready for a college entrance exam
so I don't have time for this.
I'll be going now.
Before I'm late for cram school.
College exam?
So you're a third-year student like us!
That's the Seiei Academy uniform, right?
You're smart.
So, which college are you trying for?
Who cares?
It's none of your business.
I have a lot going on.
I don't have time to goof around with you!
Wait, damn it!
No!
Wait!
I don't care who you are or what you do.
But we're not sewing stuff just for fun!
Hey!
Is a college entrance exam all that great?
Sorry.
I didn't mean it like that.
You don't even know yourself?
Sure, it's easy to mock us!
Stop it, Arashi!
I'm sorry to take up your time when you're so busy.
You suck.
Go to hell.
What the hell?
Umm I haven't heard your name yet.
Oh, wait!
Hey!
I'm sorry, Caroline!
Caroline?
My name is Miwako.
I'm usually here making clothes after school.
If you change your mind, you can stop by any time.
I like her.
George, you're here!
Yeah.
Welcome back, George.
How did it go? Did you find it?
No. Not so hot.
No?
We'll go to Nippori this Sunday.
This Yukari girl
I like her cocky eyes.
That kanji is pronounced Yukari?
Who is this girl?
Would she model for us?
Forget about it.
I see.
Arashi yelled at her and chased her off, huh?
He did, huh?
Well, George
I better get going for the band rehearsal.
Don't poke my ass!
What should I do about Caroline's student ID?
She'll come back if she wants it.
Oh, I hate that woman.
Damn, George! Why my ass?
I wonder if her contact details are in here?
What did I do with my student ID?
Oh, right.
I dropped it back there.
That photo
That picture I took under life-and-death
circumstances during the school trip
It was the second most important thing to me, after my life.
All right
Hey! Are you okay there?
I can't keep living.
Hey, Hayasaka?
Is something wrong?
Tokumori-kun!
I'm totally fine!
Super fine!
One, two! One, two!
The teacher was looking for you.
Thanks.
Bye!
Is she all right?
She's pretty, but
Let's go home, Hiroyuki.
Yeah.
You want to go to a good school, don't you?
I don't care if I don't get into my top choice.
Yes.
Realistically speaking, it's not
looking good with your current grades.
I don't care which one, as long as it's a university.
Right. I'm trying.
But I'd hate to be made fun of because I went to a low-level university!
Hayasaka, your mother is concerned about this
But there are people out there with a
completely different outlook on life.
Hayasaka Yukari-san.
What do you want?
I'm sorry my friends bothered you yesterday.
You're forgiven.
Good-bye.
Didn't you lose your student ID?
You dropped it at the atelier.
You came here to deliver it to me?
Thank you so much!
What does this mean?
Where's my ID?
Do you want it?
Of course I do!
It's my ID!
If you want it, come and get it.
H Hey!
Wait!
Wait up!
Um
Hey. Aren't you driving too fast?
I just got my license three days ago.
You're not headed for the basement.
Who said we're going to the atelier?
Where are you taking me?
Paradise.
Nooooooo!
Ah, George! You bought a car!
I envy early birthdays.
Hey, you've got a cute girl with you.
I thought you were gay, George?
I'm bi.
This is Yazawa Art
Caroline!
Hey, Miwako.
Is Professor Kisaragi still around?
Seiji-san is having lunch with Professor Hama-chan.
Caroline!
Miss Kisaragi!
Speak of the devil
Yo.
What were you talking about?
How cool I am?
Kinda.
Hey, she's pretty.
Is she your girlfriend, Koizumi-kun?
We've been dating a long time.
Liar!
Seiji-san, I have a favor to ask you.
What an honor to have you need me.
No! Absolutely not!
Why, Caroline?
Seiji-san is a super-popular hairdresser, even overseas.
But still! Why do you have to cut my hair?
I know.
It's a shame to cut it.
Black hair is very stylish.
Right
But it's just not right.
Is it the bangs?
Then let's trim a bit.
It will be okay.
I'll be gentle.
Yeah
I didn't ever want to return.
What am I doing?
Oh Caroline.
Isn't she pretty?
Seiji-san cut it for her.
It feels funny to have my bangs above the brows.
It would have been better if you weren’t in our uniform.
That's gorgeous, Carrie.
My name is Yukari.
What?
Are you gonna model after blowing us off yesterday?
I'm not!
You're not going to?
Then why are you here? We're busy!
I came here to pick up my student ID.
George has your ID.
Put this on Yukari.
Yup.
Hey! If you have it, give it to me!
Don't rush things.
Let's take some time to talk.
You had it?
You had it?
You tricked me!
Geez! Why?
It's your fault for being tricked.
I'm such an idiot!
Oh, really?
Yup.
You guys
Here, Caroline.
The bathroom is this way.
Bathroom? But I don't need one.
Oh, come on.
It's our fitting room!
Fitting?
You can't change here in front of all the boys.
Boys?
This place is old.
Yup.
George's uncle used to run a bar here.
A bar?
But he closed it six months ago
so we remodeled the place as our atelier.
We?
We did it all ourselves.
Cute bra.
I-I'll change myself!
What's the matter, Caroline?
There's no way such a pretty dress will look good on me.
It will, I promise!
Caroline, you fit the ParaKiss image perfectly.
ParaKiss?
ParaKiss.
Paradise Kiss is our brand name.
You mean you guys made this dress?
Yup.
That's so amazing!
It's just like the ones at the store!
We study how to make clothing every day.
We can at least do this much.
That's incredible.
At Yazawa Art, pretty much everyone makes
the clothes they wear themselves.
Wow.
Does that include the dress you're wearing no?
This is my older sister's dress.
Her old dress?
Her brand name is Happy Berry.
Do you know it?
No.
I'm really ignorant about that kind of stuff.
My sister is a designer for Happy Berry.
Magazines like Zipper feature them a lot.
But you know
It's cool that your sister is a professional designer.
Yup!
But I couldn't be like her.
Why?
This dress is very nice.
George designs all the clothes for ParaKiss
Izabella makes patterns out of them
and Arashi and I do the sewing.
I love making clothes
but I don't have originality.
No matter how hard I try, I end up copying my sister.
In the third year's Yazawa Art School festival fashion show
a number of students support the students
whose designs were picked for the show.
George is an honor student, so naturally he was chosen.
We're supporting him.
George is a good student
But we thought it was boring to make
only one outfit for the show
so we started meeting here and making clothes for ParaKiss.
When we have enough, we'll go sell them.
ParaKiss clothes are very nice, so I'm sure they'll sell well!
But we're not just sewing stuff for fun!
Here we are!
Wow.
She's a perfect match!
Damn.
I'm sorry.
I didn't understand anything earlier.
I said a lot of mean things yesterday.
I'm really sorry!
Well, um
Err, um It's good you understand now.
Right?
Arashi, you said mean things, too, so apologize to Caroline!
Sorry.
Good.
Nov we’re even!
Yeah.
You came here to get your student ID, right?
I thought I would feel good once I got my student ID.
Why?
I will wait three days for your replay.
Hayasaka Yukari-san
will you be our model for the show?
I was late for cram school that day.
I thought I could make it on time if I ran.
But I couldn't run well because my heart was pounding so much.
