Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e04 Episode Script
George
1
In the end, we couldn't find a fabric that fit George's image.
Hey. If you're that particular about the
print, can't you print it yourself?
I guess that's the only way.
No!
Don't be so pessimistic.
I'm not asking for anything skull-intensive like dyeing the fabric.
We'll stitch beads on the fabric and draw the pattern that way.
What?
Impossible!
Stitch the design on with beads?
We only have a month!
We have schoolwork, too.
And I have band rehearsal.
Also, beads are actually quite expensive.
You've got tons of them in that chest in your room.
What?
That's the antique collection I started as a child.
It's finally going to be useful.
Okay. Now that we know what to do, I'll have
the pattern design finalized by tomorrow.
Arashi, go buy that blue fabric we saw at the first store.
Fine, I'll work hard on it!
Between band rehearsals and this, my
sleep's gonna be cut in half for a while.
Honestly, my beads are wasted if I just keep them in the chest.
You guys rally pretty quickly.
We're all used to it.
Do you think I can help stitch on the beads?
Well
You also carry part of the responsibility
Uh
Yes!
She can't do that.
Carrie has to study for the exam.
Right
I knew it.
Where's your sister?
She headed out to the library to study.
She's really enthusiastic about it.
Life is short for a girl in love.
Put the thread through the needle and tie the end.
Bring the needle up from behind the fabric
put it through the bead
and sew it back on the fabric.
Yeah, yeah!
You're so talented, Caroline!
That's because you taught me so well.
Man, I'm bummed.
Knowing George, he'll come up with some outrageous pattern.
Let's finish cutting up the fabrics before George gets here.
Yeah.
Let's do it!
Umm Can I lend a hand, too?
Don't worry about it, Carrie. Just worry about your studies.
Hey.
Quit playing around and study.
I'm not playing around!
Did you finish the design, George?
Yeah. Care to see?
Yeah!
Lemme brace myself.
This is wonderful, George.
Is it?
What the hell?
Are you trying to kill us?
It's so pretty!
You're a genius, George.
Let's photocopy it at fifty percent, then draw
the guidelines on the back of the fabric.
Oh? Should we be drawing directly on the fabric?
I don't want to waste any time.
Besides, it's a stage costume.
We just need to make it look good from the outside.
Wow. That's a practical solution, coming from you.
Then I'll go make copies at the convenience store.
Has George forgotten he promised we'd have dinner together?
Yukari.
Those books on the counter
could you take them back to the library?
W-What's wrong, honey?
I'm not your slave who'll constantly follow orders!
What's wrong?
You seem pretty upset.
I thought you studied at the library on Sundays.
I thought you could bring them in for me
I'm not going to study anymore!
I've decided to help make the dress here!
Even if you disagree I'm not going to change my mind!
I won't disagree.
And would you quit yelling?
If you want to help, you can.
And I'll go return the books myself.
Forget it.
I live close to the library, so I'll return the books.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you mad?
Figure it out for yourself!
Carrie, no!
I'll kill him!
Oh, George
Do you mind telling me what's going on?
Talking to you won't solve things.
I can't be of any help?
It's not that anything happened.
I'm the source of this irritation.
Carrie
I want George to pay more attention to me.
But it's meaningless if I can get it only when I ask.
I think that George would notice me
more if I become more attractive.
I finally realized.
that I live in such a small world, thinking only about studying.
I need to broaden my horizons
go through lots of experiences
and then maybe I will be more attractive.
That's good to hear.
Huh?
I was a little worried that this place was becoming an
escape from studying for the college entrance exam.
Let's make a wonderful dress together!
Yeah.
Hey, why are you slacking?
The music has stopped, too!
Oh, I want some tea, too!
I'll take coffee.
Okay.
It's almost noon, so we bought some hamburgers.
Do you want some, too, Caroline?
Yeah! I do, I do!
You're a model, you know?
Hey, I can't sleep like this.
Oh, were you sleeping?
I didn't notice.
I was awake the whole time.
I was just faking.
I'll take coffee, too.
You're attractive enough as is.
A diet
Maybe I should go on a diet.
The design George came up was large flowers, blossoming boldly.
Is Arashi late again?
Guess who?
Huh? It feels different
Hey, watch what you're grabbing!
Oh, Arashi.
Oh, Mikako-san.
Sorry. I thought you were Miwako.
You do that to Miwako all the time, huh?
A-Absolutely not.
Listen, Nagase-kun.
Right
Make sure to attend third period class.
Warp!
How old is she again?
We have a designer from Happy Berry,
Kouda Mikako-san, as our special guest!
Hello.
Big sister's so cool!
Thank you, thank you.
What?
Your sister the special guest teacher? That's cool!
Isn't it?
She got the grand prize in the second years' show.
The second year students' show is a contest?
Huh? Sure.
So's the third years'.
You haven't told her?
George placed with his own outfit last year.
Wow
Oh, I've got to get home now.
But it's still only six o'clock.
Cram school ends early on Saturdays.
I'd better get home on time, or my parents will get suspicious.
I see.
But, Caroline Isn't it hard lying to your dad and mom?
But if I tell them the truth, they'll preach at me
and I might not come back here.
Wha-a-a? I don't want to stop being able to se you!
It's all right.
I'll work it out so I can come back.
It's Sunday tomorrow, so I'll come here early.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Something on you mind?
I'll give you a ride.
Yeah.
What's this?
It's not moving at all.
Let's stop by somewhere.
Oh! Welcome, George-san!
Do you have a private room available?
Yes, let me run and get one ready.
Are you some tycoon's heir?
I'm not.
Like your father is the president of some big corporation?
Heis.
I knew it!
But I'm not his wife's son.
Huh?
Too bad I'm not his real son.
I wasn't counting on that from the beginning!
That so?
Mom?
Yeah, it's me.
I'm having dinner with my friend from
the cram school, so I'll be late.
I know.
Bye
Is it okay to tell her a lie?
It's not but there are some things I can't tell my parents.
We're only just getting to the part where we do
the things you really can't tell them about.
Q-Quit making things up, you brat!
Aah! That was delicious!
Thank you so much.
I'm so stuffed.
Now, where should we go?
One, a park.
Two, on top of a building.
Three, a graveyard.
Which would you prefer?
For what?
For our first time.
N None of the above!
A virgin huh? Oh, man
Then let's go with number four.
What's number four?
My room.
George never came back to the atelier after he took Yukari home.
No.
What the hell are they doing when it's so damn busy?
Umm
Kinky sex play?
Do you really know what you're saying?
George has been living alone in this big
apartment since he was fourteen.
When I said I envied him, he smiled with just his mouth.
Hi, Mom?
The girl I was having dinner with, suddenly started feeling ill.
Yeah.
Looks like it's a cold.
Her family's gone, so I don't want to leave her alone.
I want to stay with her.
Huh? Studies?
This isn't the time.
No, forget it.
Anyway, I can't come home tonight.
Bye.
She's such a bitch!
When I told her my friend was sick, all she could say was
"What about your studies?"
"What if you catch her cold?"
Sheesh.
But you made up that story, too.
But
On top of being lied to by her daughter
her daughter even bitches about her.
Poor mother.
But
But it's because you
See? You blame others all the time.
Well.
The reason you have to study is because your parents demand it.
And the reason you can't study is
because I'm controlling you, right?
Don't you have any free will?
Besides, if you get disowned by your parents, or fail your exam
I can't be held responsible.
I'm not trying to hold you responsible.
Really?
I think you'll be bitching about everything.
Like "Give me back my virginity".
Don't mock me!
I'm doing things of my own free will!
I can take responsibility.
Why are you looking like that?
Can't you act like you're having fun?
I've had enough!
I hate this!
If you hate it, don't come in the first place.
You brought me here!
See?
You're blaming me.
I don't like a woman with that little free will.
Go home.
The subway station is just around the corner.
Waaah! Josephine!
Poor Miwako-chan!
Cool!
Alice, can you help me pick them up?
Okay!
No!
It's bedtime for Alice.
Alice isn't sleepy yet.
Miwako-chan and I can't have grown-up fun if you're up.
Hey! Arashi!
Grown-up fun?
What do you do?
Is it like kissing?
What, you want a kiss?
Do you want one?
Oh, Arashi, you pervert!
Hello.
This is Miwako in blue.
This is Yukari in blue.
Don't copy me!
I thought you were in lovey-dovey pink.
Caroline, what's going on?
Is something wrong?
Hearing Miwako-chan's voice
brought fresh tears to my eyes.
I didn't feel like going home
and the last train left while I was spacing out.
Caroline!
Sorry to bring you out here so late.
Caroline?
I can't forgive him.
I'm going to beat George up.
It's not George's fault.
It's just We're not a good match.
Jeez, I hate George!
Thank you.
But you shouldn't talk badly about your coworker.
Will it end just like that?
Before anything really happens?
Hmm?
Are you into cross-dressing now?
Go home if you've got nothing to do.
Don't be so cold.
I know that you're into some young girl now.
You're talking about Dad.
I'm getting sleepy.
Go back to your room if you want to sleep.
Hey, Caroline, which do you like better, fluffy or sparkly?
Oh? What's wrong?
Sorry.
I think I forgot something in George's room.
That must be George!
Yes?
Yukari!
Do you realize what time it is?
I won't let you come back in the morning!
I'm coming home now.
I will talk to you when I get home.
Is that all right?
Yes.
Caroline
I'll go home for today.
Is your mom that scary?
I realized that I need to deal with this first.
This?
I'm going to tell her everything.
About you all and how I'm re-thinking the entrance exam.
And what if she doesn't understand you?
If that's so
then I should leave home.
Then I'll go clean up the guest room.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Jeez, Mom! She doesn't believe me at all!
Hello.
It's me.
Where are you now?
At Miwako-chan's.
I'm about to go home, so make it short.
I still hate a woman who can only bitch and nothing else.
But in the end, I'm still in love with you.
So don't misunderstand that part.
You're contradicting yourself.
I know.
I agree.
Tell me something I can understand!
You're the one who said make it short.
Then give me a ride home.
I'll listen there.
I don't think loving a person isn't about logic or reason.
Oh? I didn't know you thought that way.
In any case
do you think I'd fight with a woman I didn't care for?
I wouldn't.
If I didn't like her, I'd just leave.
Rushing back to her to apologize is unthinkable.
You rushed?
If I can't get you to understand after
this much explanation, it's hopeless.
So, are you telling me that you're seriously in love with me?
Maybe.
That's all for today.
Eh? Oh. We're here already?
You sound disappointed.
No.
I had a lot that I wanted to tell you.
I'd love to hear it.
It doesn't matter any more.
It was just an excuse to keep me here?
That part of you is what I
Oh yeah.
Eh? What?
You forgot this.
What about that part of me?
It pisses me off
but I love it.
After a suffocating long kiss
my mother's slap was waiting for me as soon as I entered the house.
It hurt, but there was no damage.
It felt like it cleared the fog out of my brain and woke me up.
In the end, we couldn't find a fabric that fit George's image.
Hey. If you're that particular about the
print, can't you print it yourself?
