Insomniacs After School (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

[motorcycle revving]
[train rattling]
[cicadas chirping]
Ugh, so hot.
[student] One, two.
-[coach] All right, sprint.
-Three, four.
It's time for practice!
[feet stomping]
First-years, gather up!
[group] Yes, ma'am.
[coach] You call
that making an effort?!
Say it like you mean it!
[group] Yes, ma'am!
[upbeat energetic music]
[Yui sighs]
Hey, slackers!
You call that making an effort?!
Hey, Yui. What's up?
Thanks for stopping by.
[playful music]
Stupid workaholic.
Anyway, it's super hot in here.
Ugh, just like always.
It sucks that we
don't have any AC.
I wish we at least had
a fan or something.
[rapid footsteps]
Huh?
[stomp]
Sorry I took so long.
I borrowed this from
the Nurse's Office!
Way to go, Isaki!
Did you really "borrow" it?
[cheerful music]
Here we go.
[air whooshing]
[Ganta and Isaki sighing]
Breeze is too warm.
Hmm.
[opening theme]
[Isaki]
We brought a souvenir back
from Chirihama for you, Yui.
[ALIEN POOP]
[CHOCOLATE CRUNCHIES]
I want what you have.
Oh, no way. This one is mine.
[Yui sighs]
And that one is for Twosie.
Speaking of Chirihama,
did you take pictures?
Yeah.
Here, let me show you.
[upbeat music]
The reflection of the
sky and the water
didn't turn out at all.
-The wind must have caused it.
-Huh?
But the wind was hardly
blowing at that point, right?
I made absolutely sure
the stars' reflection
was showing when
I set up the camera.
The breeze can change things.
You needed to
shorten exposure time,
to mitigate the impact of
the rippling on the water.
[Ganta sighs]
Remember, when you're
dealing with nature,
things rarely go
the way you want.
That said, you captured
the starry sky really well.
It's so hot.
Time to kick the
fan up another notch.
Uh
Damn it, Isaki.
You're a sneaky sneak.
I'm so sorry!
[Nurse Kurashiki yells]
Get back here, you little thief!
-Please forgive me! [squeals]
-My office is a sauna!
-I called it.
-It's burning up in here!
-Who cares?!
-I was just borrowing it
for a little bit! [squeals]
[SHOKUSAI MARKET]
[kid] Mommy, I'm hungry.
-I want that!
-Okay.
[crowd chattering]
[keyboard clicking]
[approaching footsteps]
[Ganta sighs]
[Ukegawa] That's a great photo!
[Ganta gasps]
That from Chirihama?
Wh-wh-what the hell?!
[Ukegawa] You're the
one who came all the way
to my work because
you wanted some advice
on holding that
viewing party, right?
[Isaki] Hey, guys!
[Ukegawa] Oh?
Hey, Isaki!
Well, you got here
at the perfect time.
They let me run the grill
a little for practice.
Looks great.
I call dibs!
[upbeat music]
[Isaki chuckles]
Did you get a poster made yet?
Working on it.
I'll get permission to hang them
near some train stations
once you're finished.
[Isaki] Student council
never disappoints!
Hold on.
A ton of people
are going to show up
if we advertise in the stations.
Is that a problem?
[Ganta] That's a lot for us
to manage by ourselves.
[Ukegawa]
You can totally handle this!
You'll just need staff
at the event
and guides outside to make sure
that guests don't get lost
on the way there.
[Ganta] Ah, that's a tall order.
No problem.
I'll just ask my friends
if they're willing to help out.
That's awesome.
What about that
photography contest?
The picture from
Chirihama won't cut it,
so I'll have to
take another one.
[Ukegawa] If you need to
travel somewhere for it,
you should submit an
application to hold
a club training camp.
[Ganta] Okay.
[Isaki chuckles]
Let's keep trying, okay?
You're definitely gonna take
a better picture next time.
Good luck, Ganta!
You gotta take more pictures
of Isaki.
[both gasp]
[angry growl]
Oh! Don't- don't get
the wrong idea!
I just happened to
catch Ganta looking at
a picture of you on his computer
a little earlier and-
[Isaki growls]
Oh, crap!
I gotta go back to work now.
Sorry, guys!
Stay as long as you want, okay?
Bye!
[Ganta] Hey, hold on!
Ukegawa!
[upbeat music]
[cicadas chirping]
[Ganta] Isaki, wait up!
Isaki!
[Ganta panting]
[nervous sigh]
Hey.
Yes?
So you were looking at
a picture of me, huh?
Hmm?
Nice!
[Ganta whines]
I'm wanna see it. Show it to me!
[cheerful music]
Well
Seeing your own picture is
kind of embarrassing, you know?
Just look at this huge
smile I have. [chuckles]
[cheerful music continues]
Anyway, we better
start thinking
about where to have
our training camp.
Well, about that
I was thinking either
Mitsukijima
the Battleship Island,
or the Rokkosaki Lighthouse,
or maybe the Mawaki site.
[Isaki] You already
looked into it, huh?
[gasps] It says here the abalone
are in season right now!
Ganta! Have you ever
eaten abalone before?
Nope.
I want some so bad!
We should totally
bring swimsuits!
[Ganta] We're going
diving for them?!
[bright cheerful music]
How should we get there?
Train and then walk?
Maybe bikes?
Let's spend a few days
riding around on bikes!
Sounds good!
We can bring the tent and stuff.
We can camp out at
a bunch of places,
and take a lot of pictures!
Nice! A real training camp!
[Ganta] Let's see what
Nurse Kurashiki thinks.
We'll also need
to get permission
from our parents, of course.
[cicadas chirping]
Which way are you going?
The station.
Guess we're splitting up, then.
[cars revving]
[Ganta and Isaki sigh]
[cars revving]
Ganta.
Hmm?
Take some pictures
of me, too, okay?
Uh!
Sure.
[cars revving]
[Isaki]
Leave a trace of me behind.
Hmm?
[cicadas chirping]
[Isaki] See ya!
[cicadas grow louder]
[silence]
[dryer thumping]
[Ganta sighs]
Take some pictures
of me, too, okay?
[light chuckle]
[ISAKI]
[soft relaxing music]
[ISAKI]
[LET'S GET ALONG]
Whoa! Didn't realize
how late it had gotten
while re-reading these!
[soft music continues]
Weird.
What was that supposed to mean?
[soft music continues]
[EPISODE 6: SHOOTING STAR]
Closing ceremony
is next weekend.
Then summer break will begin.
So be careful. Don't act too
crazy just because it's summer-
[Ganta] Before school ends
and we go on break.
[Isaki] We need to hurry!
[Hakui] And getting
plenty of exercise!
[Isaki] Telling them to come
to the event is easy enough,
but asking them to help us
run it is another thing.
It's just hard when
you're friends, you know?
Then let me ask them.
Huh? Are you sure
you can manage?
[Ganta gasps]
[ART ROOM]
[soft bright music]
Isaki! Is Nono in there?
[Isaki shushes]
[Ganta sighs]
[pencil scribbling]
[Isaki] Let's wait a minute.
[pencil scribbling]
[chair rattles]
Hmm
[Nono] I need to fill out
the face a little more.
[soft bright music]
[pencil scribbling]
[Nono sighs]
[Ganta] Pardon me.
Huh?
Hey, Astronomy Clubbers.
[Isaki] Where's everyone else?
[Nono] They already turned in
their drawings for today
and went home.
I'm the last one working.
So what are you two doing here?
[Nono] A poster for your
viewing party event?
I was wondering if you'd be
willing to draw it for us!
I'd really love to,
but I have to
finish my assignment.
And using this
plaster bust as a model
is just so incredibly boring.
[Ganta and Isaki sigh]
[playful music]
[Ganta groaning]
[Isaki and Nono screaming]
Your pants.
[Ganta] I can't.
I'm just joking.
[playful music]
[Nono] Okay, let's get started.
[playful music]
Gosh, I'm sorry!
Please put your shirt back on!
[Ganta sighs]
So here's another idea.
Since there are two of you here,
will you model with him, Isaki?
[soft bright music]
[Ganta grunts]
[pencil scribbling]
[straining]
Watch it! Your hand is dropping!
Right!
[Isaki chuckles]
Nono is totally in the zone!
[Ganta] Yeah.
[Isaki] We gotta give
it our best, too.
[birds chirping]
[printer whirring]
[Ganta groans]
Aw, now that is a masterpiece.
[Ganta] We agreed to model
for her art assignment
and then she just ended up
using it for the poster.
Man, Nono is really
something else, isn't she?
Yeah, apparently her art has
won a prefectural contest.
Isaki was nervous
to ask her for help,
but she was happy to
do it when I asked.
Duh! Of course she
would have reservations.
Huh? Even though the
two of them are friends?
Yeah, that is exactly why.
Everybody has their own issues,
and you understand them
better if you're close.
Right?
[Ganta groans]
[Ukegawa] The red circles
are all the spots
we got approval
to hang the posters.
The blue marks are where
we need to place people
who can guide visitors to
the school on the day of.
[Ganta] So six in total.
Which means counting us,
and Isaki,
we're still about three
volunteers short.
[Ganta] Nono said she was
willing to help out too.
Then that just leaves two.
Ganta, can you find two more?
Of course.
No.
I wouldn't do you a favor
if it was the end
of the world, Ganta.
Please. I'm begging you!
Just let me explain!
Uh, pass!
Look, I'm friends
with Isaki, okay?
But definitely not with you.
Don't get all
buddy-buddy with me
just because we're
in the same class.
Buh-bye!
What a jerk. Screw her!
How the hell is Isaki friends
with such a huge asshole?!
[SLEEPING -MAGARI]
[soft footsteps]
[Isaki breathes lightly]
[Isaki snores]
[stifled laughing]
[air whooshing]
I'll protect this.
All of it.
You wanna talk? About what?
I'll just cut right to the
chase. I need your help.
The Astronomy Club
is going to have-
[captain] Anamizu!
Time for fielding!
Coming, coach!
I gotta get back, sorry.
I can talk to you
after softball practice.
Sure. I'll wait here.
[cicadas chirping]
[ball thumping]
[air whooshing]
[player] Nice! Great play!
[coach]
You're up next, Anamizu!
I'm ready!
[coach grunts]
[Anamizu groans]
[coach]
How does anybody let that go?!
One more time!
I'm ready!
[Anamizu grunts]
[coach]
What kind of throw was that?!
You're terrible! Again!
Hm?
You watched from
there the whole time?
Yep.
You could have
waited in the shade
where it was a lot cooler.
So listen, like I
was saying earlier.
Help me out.
I need more practice.
Squat down for me.
Is pitcher supposed
to be your position?
[Anamizu]
It's the position I want.
That's why I'm out
here practicing.
[slow, bright music]
[Anamizu grunts]
[fence rattling]
[Ganta gasps]
[Ganta sighs]
[Ganta grunts]
[Anamizu grunts]
[fence rattling]
[Ganta sighs]
[Anamizu grunting]
[fence rattling]
[Ganta gasping]
[Ukegawa laughs]
He was supposed to recruit her,
but now they're playing catch.
[fence rattling]
[Anamizu sighs]
[bright music continues]
[Anamizu sighs]
[Anamizu inhales, exhales]
[Anamizu grunts]
[ball whooshing]
[ball thuds]
[Ganta gasps]
Awesome pitch!
[Anamizu chuckles]
So, um, listen, I still
need to talk to you.
Oh, right.
Is this about the meteor
shower party you're doing?
-Ah, yeah.
-I'm in.
I already intended on helping
Isaki from the get-go.
So how many have you recruited?
Just five.
Kanikawa said no,
but I'm going to
try asking her again.
In that case
Don't do anything.
Just leave her alone.
[cicadas chirping]
All right, so on the
day of the event,
we're going-
[door sliding]
Hold it right there!
Why am I being left out?!
You better make me a
part of the group, too!
Damn it!
See?
[Kanikawa groaning]
[bright playful music]
[Yui] Well, congrats.
Now you can have
that viewing party.
[Ganta] Yeah, I guess.
Hmm? You don't sound happy.
I'm more concerned about whether
we can actually pull it off.
Oh, we've been talking about
holding a training camp
to practice taking pictures
of the starry sky.
We'll have to stay
somewhere overnight.
Are you interested
in coming with us?
That's obscene.
I know you two are gonna have
secret flirty time!
[playful music]
Just try and put yourself
in my shoes!
[loud stomp]
I'll die from shame!
No, we're only going to take
some photographs as part of
our Astronomy Club activities!
[playful music]
I'm not telling you to
avoid romance or anything,
but keep your priorities
straight.
[Ganta grunts]
Well, Isaki and I don't have
that kind of relationship.
[Yui] So you're just
going on nighttime dates
with her for funsies?
There's a name
for guys like you.
You're a philanderer.
Wh-wh-what-
what does that mean?
It's got a dirty meaning.
Look it up!
[Ganta] Bye, I'll visit
later for more advice.
I honestly don't mind
if you do want
to go off and have a
training camp together,
but if you do, just make
sure you do it right.
[door creaking]
[Ganta sighs]
[OKONOMIYAKI SHOP HIRANOYA]
[Isaki] Hey, Ganta!
Hmm?
Over here! We saved you a seat!
[costumers chattering]
All right. Everyone's here.
[Kanikawa]
Stand aside! Coming through!
[playful music]
[Ganta and Ukegawa gasp]
Thanks for waiting!
This here is a
"Snow White" special!
-Wow, looks great!
-Why is it special?
Because I'm the one
who cooked it, of course.
Cut it into seven pieces.
Gotcha!
[playful music]
Uh, I accidentally cut
it through the middle.
[tense music]
[all] Rock, paper, scissors!
Mm! So yummy!
Yeah!
[Anamizu groans]
Hello, Nurse Kurashiki.
We appreciate you always
putting up with our daughter.
Oh, of course.
Don't mention it.
Are these Kanikawa's folks?
You didn't know that?
Matoko spent a fair
share of her childhood
hanging around our restaurant,
with nobody but adults around.
Some of the regulars even took
to calling her
"Princess Matoko."
So she's been pampered
to high heaven.
And that's why
she has a hard time
when she's not
the center of attention.
[Kanikawa's mom] Not to mention
her bad habit of mouthing off.
But despite that,
she'll come home
to help at the restaurant
even when her club runs late.
She's a real sweetheart.
Ah, geez!
Mom, cut it out already!
Well, you'll be proud to know
she's also been helping out
with the Astronomy Club lately.
We made some posters to
advertise our viewing party
and she hung
them up around town.
Oh? We can hang one here too!
It'll be so much fun
with a big crowd!
[Anamizu gasps]
Actually, why don't you kids
try handing out posters
at the fireworks festival?
That's right!
People from outside the city
will be at the festival.
[Kanikawa] Ugh. No way!
I don't have time to hand out
posters.
I'll be busy getting a good
spot to watch the fireworks!
In that case, should I let you
up on the roof of the school?
[Kanikawa squeals]
[Kurashika]
It's one of the best spots
with a sweeping view of the sky.
But this is a one time deal.
[Kanikawa screams]
Okay, then I'm in!
[gentle music]
[Ganta sighs]
[footsteps]
You don't have to
offer up the school roof.
I'm sorry this became so big.
Hmm.
[Kurashiki exhales]
[Kurashiki] Too worried to
get any sleep, I take it?
[Ganta] Everyone has their
own things going on,
but they still agree
to help us anyway.
It makes me anxious.
'Cause if the event
doesn't go well
If it fails everyone's
expectations,
what do I do then?
[Kurashiki] There's a saying.
What people consider flaws
are actually talents
they have yet
to find a proper use for.
Have you heard it before?
Even that tiresome
personality of yours
may just bloom into quite
a useful talent some day.
[ending theme]
