Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e05 Episode Script
Mother
1
Beyond the noise of the world
there's a stairway leading to the basement of a fantastic world.
The place is filled with 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".
Hey, can you reach for that thread?
Aye, aye, sir!
Oh! Welcome back, Izabella!
Let's have lunch.
I made beef sandwiches.
Oh, the music.
Since it's such a beautiful day, shall we go to the park and eat?
You're awfully relaxed wit the show so close.
But the stitching of the beads is coming along
well since we've got Caroline helping us.
So we'll easily make it at this rate!
Carrie is late today.
Caroline said she was going to tell her mother
about everything that's happened.
Everything?
Maybe her ma bawled her out and
tied her up so she couldn't escape.
She should have called me if that was the case.
Oh, how wonderful!
You would have saved her..
No.
I just enjoy tying people up.
She lied to her mother and skipped cram school.
It was inevitable she'd be chewed out.
Caroline said she'll leave home if her mother doesn't understand.
Leave home?
What should we do if Carrie comes here while we're gone?
Miwako
Call Yukari's cell.
Yep!
Leaving home? Her?
No way.
Sorry I'm late.
Huh?
Caroline! You're okay!
I'm so glad!
Yeah.
Well, I guess so.
We were just going to call you.
Hey, are those
Those shoes don't work with that dress.
Oh, is that so?
I told my mom everything last night.
That I agreed to model for the show.
That I've been skipping cram school and stitching beads.
That I have no intention of going to college.
Then
Go cool your head!
Scary
I see.
So your habit of slapping people when you
get pissed comes from your mother.
That's scary!
So I thought about it overnight
but instead of cooling down, I'm boiling over on the inside.
So I left home when she wasn't looking.
So
Taking the forceful route, huh?
I guess that's fine.
I didn't know you had those kinda guts.
You've got my respect.
I want to support Carrie's decision.
Me too!
Nobody's telling you to go home.
You've fallen in with a bad crowd.
Yeah.
Them I'll go clean the room.
Where did cleaning come from?
So I can keep Caroline in our guest room!
Oh, yeah.
Is it okay to bring a guest in when you're a guest yourself?
It's fine.
My sister and Tsutomu-kin are both really understanding.
I dunno about that.
Especially Tsutomu. He's been really picky lately.
He yells at me all the time.
Can I live in the atelier for a while?
It has a kitchen, too, so I can cook for myself
Please don't.
Eh?
The atelier is a place of creativity.
But
I don't want any taste of daily life.
But I don't want to inconvenience anybody.
It is inconvenient.
We all chip in to pay for the atelier's utility bills.
I see
I don't mid if you live there as long as you chip in, too.
Of course I will.
No, it's not a matter of money.
I'm going to work while you're all at school.
Work?
Caroline, what about school?
I'll quit.
That's so cool, Caroline!
Idiot! Just shut up for a while!
Are you serious, Carrie?
Yeah.
High school's pointless if I'm not going to college.
I don't like to waste time
and I hate being indecisive.
Hey, George, isn't this bad?
On top of leaving home, she's going to drop out of high school!
Why are you asking me?
She's your girl! Tell her something!
Well
Whether she leaves home or quits high school is up to her.
But please don't move into the atelier.
Yup, I can pretty much tell what he's thinking.
Besides, if you have nowhere else to go, you can come to my place.
What?
That's not right!
You need to change her mid.
You should do it, Caroline!
Give up everything else and live for romance.
That's woman's happiness, too.
What the hell are you talking about?
Do you want to see Yukari go to hell?
Don't tell me what to do!
Of course not.
I only told you what I thought.
It's up to you to decide what to do.
It's your life, after all.
Yeah
She is so
Sheesh!
I've decided I'll stand on my two feet.
I will only look at the future.
I can't see anything defiite yet
but I'm not alone.
I have friends who accept me.
Wow, this room looks fun!
Uh This is the bathroom.
It's really small, but there's a public bath nearby, too.
Wow, cute pillows!
We have one stove.
You can boil water, at least.
Thank you so much.
I'll work hard so I can leave as soon as possible.
Also here.
What's this?
The battle goods that Miwako got for you.
Happy Berry clothes!
This many?
She can't come tonight. She has to babysit Alice.
Thanks.
You can eat whatever's in the fridge.
Arashi
Later.
I'm okay as long as you're happy.
But after leaving home and quitting school
I have to question living in a guy's place.
Yeah.
Also, George is not the type who makes women happy.
Yeah, I totally agree.
You shouldn't get too involved.
It's too late.
Ahhh, it feels so good!
Tomorrow's Monday.
But I won't go to school.
The midterm doesn't matter, either.
A job!
I must find a job!
Good morning, Caroline!
Good morning, Miwako-chan.
Did you sleep well?
Yeah.
I made breakfast toast and saladfor.
Let's eat it together!
Breakfasttoast?
Excuse me!
Miwako-chan, won't you be late?
I'll be fine.
The school is close from here.
Caroline, how does the place feel?
It's comfortable.
I'm using a lot of your stuff.
Yeah, go right ahead!
Sure.
Wow, this salad is delicious!
Did your mother call?
No.
Hey, this might feel pushy, but
Eh? Did you call my house?
I didn't!
Caroline, do you want to work at my sister's shop?
Shop?
Happy Berry?
Yup!
I told her about you.
Thank you!
I told her my friend was looking for a job.
And I showed her your photo.
Photo?
The ones we took at your welcome party.
Oh, those.
What do you think?
Are you interested in selling clothes?
Yeah!
I'm so happy!
Really?
But can I do it?
I have no job experience.
You'll be fine!
You're very dependable and smart.
You can learn the job in a flash!
You think so?
So you have an interview today.
Here's her business card.
Oh, thanks.
Call her on her cell phone around noon.
Today?
Yeah. she wants to see you soon.
I'll call her, too.
Umm What should I wear for the interview?
I can't do make-up, either.
Right.
You're pretty and have a good figure, but
you're a bit uncool, too.
It's okay!
I'll come home for lunch and help you get ready.
Thank you, Miwako-sama!
Yup, yup.
It's okay.
It'll work out.
This problem os often used on the exam, so make sure to remember it.
Now, let's work on the next problem.
I've chosen this path.
I won't regret it, even if it's the wrong one.
The president will be with you shortly, so please wait here.
Yes.
What's this?
Amazing.
Hey, open up!
Ah, yes!
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I had my hands full.
Wow, she looks so much like Miwako-chan!
I made tea, but do you prefer coffee?
That's all right.
I'm honored to receive such treatment from the president herself.
Hey, hey, don't call me "president"!
Oh, man
You're Miwako's friend, right?
Yes.
I'm her sister, Mikako.
Thanks for treating Miwako so well.
Don't mention it.
I'm Hayasaka Yukari.
Thank you for your time today.
Yukari?
Your name isn't Caroline?
Well, I guess that's a nickname.
I thought you were half-japanese.
Both of my parents are Japanese.
Oh, you're Japanese?
With those long arms and legs?
I'm sorry.
Well, let's eat the cake.
Their cakes are so delicious.
Yes.
She's a cute lady.
I wonder how old she is.
Wait!
Is your body naturally like this?
Or will you get fat when you eat sweets
or start breaking out?
No.
I've never been on a diet/
And my skin's healthy.
Okay, then!
I see.
The sales staff must be fashionable themselves, so they can't be fat.
So the interview's already started.
I don't have much time, so let me get to the point.
The reason I wanted to see you is
Yes, I heard from Miwako-chan!
Umm I brought my resume, too.
I've already hired a sales rep.
Oh? No
If only you'd come a bit earlier
Umm Are you short-staffed somewhere else, then?
Office clerks? Finance?
Or personal assistance, too.
I'll do anything.
How old are you, Caroline?
You can't be a student if you're that desperate for a job, can you?
No
I'm a senior in high school.
But I can't see the point of staying in school anymore.
So I want to get out into the world quickly and find out who I am.
Huh?
Excuse me, then.
Thank you for taking the time for me.
Now, now, I'm not done taling to you yet.
Would you sit down?
Eh?
Hey, are you free tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Yup.
Yeah.
Hey, Nakayama.
Hmm?
Do you know why Hayasaka wasn't at school today?
I don't know.
The exam starts tomorrow, so maybe she's
taking her chances and studying at home.
Studying, huh?
Or she eloped with a man.
Hm? Why's that?
Yukari's been acting pretty weird lately.
She changed her hair all of a sudden and
starte taking an interest in fashion.
And she's always rushing out of school after classes.
And she's been skipping cram school for a while.
Hayasaka Is she serious about not going to college?
You're worried about others?
Smart people sure are different.
Aren't you worried?
You're her friend.
I don't have that kind of time.
Besides, it's annoying that she can do whatever she
wants while the rest of us are denying ourselves.
She's so spoiled.
A model for a fashion magazine?
Yeah.
I thought you went in to interview for the sales staff position.
Yeah.
But the position was already filled.
Really? Sorry!
So where did the modeling job come from?
Do you know the magazine Zipper?
It's a fashion magazine.
I told you about it before.
My sister
I know it!
I think they showed the cover back in the first episode.
They're going to have a special on Happy Berry
and they want me to model for it.
Oh, for the photo shoot tomorrow, right?
You know, their model was in an accident and was hospitalized
so they were looking for a substitute.
How'd you know about it, George?
Seiji-san is the hairdresser for that gig.
I want to come, too!
Hey, I've been wondering about this
How come you know everything that reaches Kisaragi?
Do you really want to know?
Hell no!
Who's Kisaragi?
It's Seiji-san, the Man from Planet Sparkle.
He cut your hair, Caroline.
Oh, him?
I'm glad you found a good job, Carrie.
But it's only a one-time substitute job
so I still need to find work.
That's true.
But once you're in a magazine, you might get more modeling gigs.
That's right!
The gigs will pile up in no time, and you'll soon be the top model!
That's unlikely.
But my sister chose you above all the other pro models out there.
That's huge!
You always use your sister as a yardstick.
I guess everybody else's schedule was
full because of the last-minute notice.
I won't be as good as the pro models.
"I won't", huh?
You won't succeed at anything with that kind of attitude.
You should decline.
But it looks interesting, so I want to try it.
I've decided to accept it, so I will try my best.
Then you shouldn't be so servile.
But
Mikako-san would never pick a model that half-heartedly.
You'll be fine.
What my sister picks always becomes a big hit!
Right.
You should be a little more confident about yourself.
You are gifted with such a pretty body.
I'd suggest pride rather that confidence.
We picked you out of everyone.
You won't look worse than any other model.
He's right!
If those longer-than-normal arms and legs
are going to be my means of survival
I ought to thank my parents for giving them to me.
I was heading to the studio with those thoughts
when the cell phone finally rand.
It's the second day after I left home.
Hello, Hayasaka?
Eh? Ah, To
Tokumori-kun?
Yeah.
What's going on?
What's going on with you, Hayasaka?
The mid-term starts today, but you're
not here, so I was concerned.
I see.
The exam starts today?
I called your home, but I was told you're
not home, so I was shocked.
So I asked Nakayama for your cell number.
You called my home?
Was that bad?
No.
Did mom say anything else?
No.
I asked her, "Is Yukari-san home?"
And she only said, "No".
That's all?
Yeah, that's all.
Haya
Hayasaka?
No, I'm just thinking that my enemy's a tough one, too.
Enemy?
I left home and got disowned.
Left home?
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
Hey, wait a sec!
Where are you going?
You should come take the exam!
I'm not coming.
I might never get a chance like this again.
A chance?
Hayasaka, are you ok?
I'm going to do what I can.
Thank you for worrying about me.
And good luck on the exam.
Hey, Hayasaka!
What did Yukari say?
She caught a cold.
Hayasaka
It's okay!
I won't give up!
Even if my parents give on me
Even if I'm a social misfit
I'm not going to fade out of existence!
Caroline!
Beyond the noise of the world
there's a stairway leading to the basement of a fantastic world.
The place is filled with 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".
Hey, can you reach for that thread?

No.
I asked her, "Is Yukari-san home?"
And she only said, "No".
That's all?
Yeah, that's all.
Haya
Hayasaka?
No, I'm just thinking that my enemy's a tough one, too.
Enemy?
I left home and got disowned.
Left home?
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
Hey, wait a sec!
Where are you going?
You should come take the exam!
I'm not coming.
I might never get a chance like this again.
A chance?
Hayasaka, are you ok?
I'm going to do what I can.
Thank you for worrying about me.
And good luck on the exam.
Hey, Hayasaka!
What did Yukari say?
She caught a cold.
Hayasaka
It's okay!
I won't give up!
Even if my parents give on me
Even if I'm a social misfit
I'm not going to fade out of existence!
Caroline!
