Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e06 Episode Script
New World
1
I took a school entrance exam for the first time when I was five.
The saddest part wasn't flunking an exam for the
elementary school of a famous private university
but seeing how disappointed my mother looked.
Caroline!
Hey!
What's this? It's you, Mikako-san!
I thought you were Miwako-chan.
Oh, excuse me!
But everyone tells me that.
You two look so much alike.
I look so much like that inexperienced brat?
I'm already thirty-six.
Is it because of the hair color?
Um Are we shooting the photos here?
Yup.
They made this restaurant by remodeling
an old Western-style house.
Isn't it gorgeous?
It looks like a movie scene.
And you are the heroine, Caroline.
The model is here, everyone.
See?
You agree that I was right?
I am Hayasaka Yukari.
Nice to meet you!
We were actually quite worried.
Mikako-san declined every list of models
Tanabe-chi and I submitted.
Sorry, Higasa.
That's pretty funny.
Mikako hasn't changed a bit.
Maybe that's because you spoil her too much.
Oh, that's harsh.
Anyway, Caroline.
I also liked your photos
but the real thing's good, too.
Eh?
I will make you into a super hot babe today.
He's our photographer, Yamaguchi-san.
His skills are unrivalled.
And he's Mikako-san's husband.
I see.
He's Tsutomu-kun
Seiji-kun, take care of her hair and make-up.
Wait!
You're a bit flushed.
I can hide the redness with make-up, but
is there a chance that you might be sick?
I'm fine!
Perfect!
Shall we work on relaxing, then?
I can't
I'm about to pass out from nervousness.
Calm down.
I have to do as well as they expect me to.
Mikako-san's reputation is on the line.
Why did you accept this job?
Huh?
I see!
Mikako-san threatened you, didn't she?
Hey, Seiji!
Don't badmouth me!
Ooh, scary!
Former girl gang members are so scary
Hey, hey!
You're the former gang member here, Higasa.
Mikako-san is really out there.
Come on, someone cheer her up.
I don't want to! I don't want to step on any mines.
Moron.
You already did!
Seriously? Damn!
After going to public elementary school
I entered a well-known private junior
high in order to recover my honor.
Then my father's company relocated him to a remote town
but my mother stayed in Tokyo to keep me in that school.
But it was obvious I couldn't keep my grades
up in a school I'd stretched to enter.
No matter how hard I tried, I could only
barely reach "just below average".
My mother was pretty disappointed in me.
In the same spring I entered high school
my little brother, Suguru, passed the entrance exam for the
private elementary school I'd failed to get into with ease.
My brother, being smart and efficient,
met my mother's expectations well.
My stock plummeted in turn.
My existence was denied
but unfortunately, I had nothing to fall back on but my studies.
The fact that I was wearing a famous prep school
uniform was the only source of pride I had left.
Is a college entrance exam all that great?
When we have enough, we'll go sell them.
Why stop?
You're talking about you're life, aren't you?
Don't call it silly.
I'll take you seriously.
So tell me.
Let's make a wonderful dress together!
So there, I
Yamaguchi-san!
The model is ready.
All right!
Let's get started, then.
I wanted her to recognize my existence.
We picked you out of everyone.
You won't look worse than any other model.
I like that face.
A bit more to the left.
That way.
Looks good.
Are you hot?
Should we turn on the AC?
No, I'm fine.
It's so mysterious.
Why don't models and actresses sweat?
I know!
Hey, hey, Seiji-kun. Is this hat cuter?
They're both cute.
Look more seriously!
Spoiled as ever.
What are you doing?
I'm thinking about your next pose!
I'm serious!
Like this?
Wonderful!
See?
Hey, Tanabe-chi!
Isn't this hat better?
This one doesn't stay on straight.
But that crookedness is cute, too.
Hmm. I see
Yup.
Right.
All right, that's it!
Mikako-san's even serious about choosing a hat.
And she picked me.
So many people are working together as one.
This is a very comfortable tension.
And I'm part of a world like this
Thank you for your hard work, everybody!
Thanks!
Hey, Caroline!
Aren't you hungry?
Come eat with the rest of us.
It's really delicious here!
Thanks a lot.
But I have something planned.
It's got to be a date with George.
I It's not!
You're in love, aren't you?
He's so good.
He's good-looking, kind, smart, and polite.
He's a perfect gentleman.
You think so?
Actually You know George?
Yeah.
He appears in Happy Berry shows.
Since two years back, I think.
I've been asking him every season since
we started doing men's apparel.
A model
Hey!
Would you take part in it next time, too?
Yes, gladly!
It's a deal, then.
I'll call you later!
Say hi to George, too!
Good work.
Are you going on a date after this?
No, I'm not
Koizumi-kun was worried about you.
George was?
He asked me to help you if you were about to mess up.
There was no need, though.
I see
Oh, maybe I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
Anyway, I've got another gig, so Bye!
Oh, thank you very much!
Yukari-chan?
Let's work together again.
Thank you very much!
Yes!
Oh, excuse me.
Uh, I
Right.
Can we take a picture together?
Yes, sure.
One more.
Thank you so much!
I'll definitely buy the magazine when it comes out!
I'll support you!
There'll be warm stew waiting for me when I get back to the atelier.
It'll be the best dinner.
It's the best dinner I can have with everyone.
Wow
Amazing, Caroline!
You're so pretty!
Yes, really.
Carrie, this is wonderful.
Pro jobs are so cool.
It's like Tetsujin 28.
Mitseru Yakuyama's 1958 manga, Tetsujin 28-go (Iron man No. 28), is
widely seen as the antecedent of giant robots in Japanese pop culture. The animated
series, produced in 1966, was redubbed for US release as Gigantor.
It's probably because they had a good model.
Right, George?
Yes.
Can I have one of these?
Umm What are you going to do with it?
I can't say it in front of everyone.
Geez.
Anyway, wasn't it a lot of work, Carrie?
Changing so many times.
Yeah.
But it was a lot of fun.
That's good.
Yeah
It's October 21st today, huh?
Eh? The show's on November 2nd, so
That's so soon!
Can we make the dress?
Well, I think it'll work out.
You're awfully easygoing, aren't you?
You're too gung-ho.
Hmpf.
Sorry, I'm just like that!
Don't apologize.
I just think it's so cute.
You look especially cute today
Did you put that make-up on yourself?
No.
Seiji-san applied more normal make-up after the shoot.
Can I kiss you?
Yeah.
Are they home?
We can't have fun, then.
I'm gonna go home.
Is it because I scream too loud?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry, Arashi.
I'll give you a goodnight kiss, though.
Good night.
Arashi
Give me one.
Good night, then.
Is something wrong?
No.
Good night.
Umm
How about some tea at my place?
That's rather indirect invitation.
If you are going to beg that much
I guess so.
I have no tea for you!
All right.
I only have instant coffee!
Sure.
Hmm
Which one is it?
Don't take so long.
Hmm The light
I'm fine without it.
Let me boil some water.
Yeah.
I'll go home once I'm done with the coffee.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Oh, Hiro-kun is here.
Oh?
Toku-chan's Hiroyuki-kun.
Whaa?
Hey. Long time no see.
Yeah.
I heard that you're moving back here for a while.
Did something happened?
Who cares?
Who in their right mind would study at someone else's place?
You really haven't changed.
We're in the middle of exams.
Butt I wanted to ask you about something.
About what?
Do you know where Hayasaka is?
Thanks.
Bye.
Huh?
George!
What?
Um Um
Why is it always me?
Don't go home.
It feels like unrequited love.
Hey, don't cry.
Crying doesn't work with George.
Because George doesn't like that kind of girl.
George's heart is beating so fast.
You're just like me.
You're so light.
Are you sure you have something inside?
Why don't you check for yourself?
Fine.
Classmates?
You and Yukari?
You didn't know?
Not at all.
So you're in the same school.
I told Miwako about it the other day.
She didn't tell you?
No.
I see.
Anyway, where is Hayasaka?
I don't know.
Then I'll ask Miwako.
Yukari is in my apartment!
I thought so.
We're sleeping the wrong way.
This is fine.
It's north up there.
Sleeping with your head pointing north is considered unlucky in Japan.
Only the deceased are placed in that direction.
I see.
This doesn't fell right either way.
Why do we have to borrow Arashi's bed?
Should we change the location, then?
How about a graveyard?
Please
Don't make me wait any longer.
Miwako? Why are you here?
Do you need something from Caroline?
Mm-hmm.
I'll take the message.
Caroline's in the middle of kinky sex play.
What do you mean?
I'm a naive girl who'd never even kissed a man
for 18 years of her life until I met George.
I only had vague ideas about the act of actually expressing love.
I didn't understand what drew people to lovemaking.
But still
even though i thought I'd be lost at sea
my body is reacting to George's fingers and lips.
Is this what instinct is?
Yukari
Does that feel good?
Hey. Don't ask me such an embarrassing question.
I want to hear it from you.
Are all men this good at kissing?
Is it not going in?
Does it hurt?
I'm totally ok.
Stop it.
I'm okay.
It's just a tear of joy.
Mine's a bit big.
Silly!
What are you saying?
It's making me lose strength.
Good.
Relax.
It went in.
What now?
Now it's making me cry.
I hope this will fill the gap between us.
I see.
I get it.
Yukari and her mom couldn't agree on things
and she left home, right?
Yeah.
But I'm not good at explaining things, so
I understand you.
I'm used to listening to your wacky stories.
But what's this kinky sex play you mentioned?
Oh, that's wrong!
That's just my imagination!
Imagination?
Yup. So there is nothing to worry about.
I think George is being very gentle with her.
I can tell those kinds of things.
It's like smell, or a woman's intuition
That's not what I'm worried about.
It just makes my head hurt.
Your head hurts?
Are you okay, Hiro-kun?
Are you studying too much?
You finally talked to me in a normal way.
Hiro-kun
Early that morning, I decided to pack up my
belongings and move in with George.
In my life, it's easy to roll downhill
but if I can just hang on by your side,
I think I can go to paradise.
I took a school entrance exam for the first time when I was five.
The saddest part wasn't flunking an exam for the
elementary school of a famous private university
but seeing how disappointed my mother looked.
