Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e08 Episode Script
Tokumori
1
Your parents' permission?
Yeah.
I can't join the agency without it.
Well, duh.
You're still underage.
Did you tell them you've left home and school?
No, I couldn't.
I said I'd call them and rushed out.
Well
How about if I pretend to be Carrie's mother?
No way!
That's going too far.
You think so?
Go home if you're serious about becoming a model.
Arashi!
If you have a goal like that, your parents
might listen to what you have to say.
Caroline
That's true, Carrie.
Why don't you talk with your parents just once more?
I know what's right, too.
Yeah, I'll think about it.
But if I go home, things with George might
George didn't show up today.
He's not answering his phone, either.
Poor Caroline.
I think George is the one she wants to talk to the most.
I'm worried about the show, not her!
Let's go to my place and work on it together, Arashi!
Hell no!
Are you still mad?
Of course I am!
But you're talking to me as if nothing's happened.
That's because it was nothing!
I just ran into Hiro-kun, and we talked a little.
So why are you getting so mad?
Because you tried to hide it.
Makes me think something happened.
I thought you'd get mad if I told you.
But you got mad when I didn't.
You get mad at me either way.
Why can't you trust me more?
Why?
Hey, don't cry.
It's not that I don't trust you.
So
Hey, don't cry.
Then let's go to my place.
No.
Why don't we go to my place?
I couldn't understand what George was thinking even
after we started spending more time together.
I was feeling uneasy.
Going home and no longer being able to see George
That felt like it would end everything.
After this dress is completed
and the show is over
will he still want me around?
All done!
The beads for the sleeve are set!
Oh, you're home?
Answer the door, then.
That was you?
You have the key, don't you?
I wanted you to meet me at the door.
Hey, I've got something important to tell you.
More important than what we're about to do?
I know what to do now.
But I feel uneasy when we're not this close together.
Your phone's ringing?
Who is it?
Man, what a pain
It's not showing the number.
Is it George?
Give me that! I'll give him a piece of my mind.
Hey, George?
You
Sorry to call you so late.
Your mom's here, and she said
you went back to your place, right?
Yeah.
Who is it? George?
Miwako's there, too?
Anyway, where is Hayasaka?
I don't know.
Can I talk to Miwako?
It's Hiroyuki.
Hiro-kun?
Sorry to bother you.
Hey, I wanted to have a word with Hayasaka
and called her a few times
but the call just wouldn't go through.
Did something happen to her?
Caroline was with us just a while ago, but nothing happened.
The atelier is underground, so there's no reception inside.
Did something happen?
Well, I wanted to see her.
Where is she now?
Caroline is happily with George.
Hey! What are you doing, Hiroyuki?
There's no way an honor student like you
could understand how Yukari feels!
She's tackling a lot on her own!
Don't ever tell her parents or teacher what she's doing!
Why's he calling so late?
What'd you want to talk about?
You said you had something important.
Yeah.
I finished the beads for the sleeve.
And I guess the other parts are almost done, too.
We can start the new stuff after tomorrow.
Yeah?
Yeah. And where were you?
Visiting the second lady.
Why, you
You ought to be happy. You're my first lady for now.
Yeah, yeah.
Should we start by attaching the lace, then?
Should we add gathers for the lace?
We don't have enough material, so we can't.
I guess we'll be done quickly if we all work in different parts.
This is pretty lace.
Isn't it nice?
It's discontinued stock from Europe.
This is the only one of its kind left.
That makes sense.
The coloring's so nice.
George actually colored it himself.
Wow.
He's so good!
Yukari? Are you going to go home now?
Huuuuh? Why?
Now that the stitching's done,
there's nothing for you to do here.
But I can help out with something.
Don't you get it?
You're bothering us.
Wait up, Caroline!
Your phone's charged.
Here.
Oh, yeah. Thanks.
I'm glad we have the same model.
I'd better go back now.
George is really edgy today.
What's his problem?
He was acting happy right up until left this morning.
Oh, is it from Miwako-chan?
There is one new message.
Hi, this is Tokumori.
Please call me. My number is
Oh, Hayasaka?
Where are you now? Can I see you now?
Yeah.
At the cafe from the other day, then.
I'll be there in fifteen minutes.
Yeah.
Thanks for waiting.
5:35!
What? What's wrong?
I didn't wait at all!
But you're right on time.
Don't laugh.
I was really worried.
Welcome.
I'll take a coffee.
Yes, sir.
Miwako told me why you left home.
So, did you manage to find any work?
No, I can't really find anything.
You were saying something about a chance
Oh, that?
I'm trying to become a pro model.
Well
You're pretty, so
So I'm looking for an agency to join.
You're living with your boyfriend, right?
Doesn't he have anything to say about that?
But I'm doing this on my own.
But if he told you that it's better for you
to go back home and to school
you wouldn't be doing this now, would you?
That's got nothing to do with it!
This is something I've decided to do.
I don't want anyone telling me what to do.
Something's not right.
Why are you being so stubborn, Hayasaka?
Nobody has perfect confidence in their decisions.
That's why we listen to other people's opinions
and keep thinking about them over the course of our lives.
But George doesn't go for ordinary girls.
That is doubly true when you're in love with the other person.
I wonder if your boyfriend thinks about you seriously.
Things aren't going so well with him, are they?
We're doing well together.
I'm really happy right now.
Oh?
You think you can convince me with those tears in your eyes?
Everything’s fine.
It doesn't matter if he thinks about me seriously or not.
I'm with him because I want to be.
That would make me worry about you more!
Shush!
Get off my case on this!
Here you go.
Our homeroom teacher said he'd come visit you at home soon.
For the time being, you're listed as being sick.
But if they find out you're not home, it won't be good.
Your mother told them you were sick at home.
I don't know what your intentions are, but you'll
be expelled if things continue like this.
Is that what you want?
I just wanted to tell you that.
I'm sorry. I said too much.
Tokumoru-kun
Thanks for everything.
But I'll be fine, so don't worry.
At least let me worry.
Aren't we classmates?
I told you to break up with that scum.
How am I supposed to live alone at my age?
Oh, Kozue! I'll work hard with a new attitude!
Let me join your agency!
Sorry, but I don't need old models.
Old?
Oh, Junior's back.
Welcome home!
Yukari-chan!
Could President Shimamoto be his second girl?
What's the matter, Kozue?
Or is she the one?
She's Hayasaka Yukari-chan.
We are planning on hiring her soon.
Oh, that girl with the long legs and black hair.
I guess she's Junior's girlfriend.
Wow.
You're really the unsexiest type of all.
Here, say hello.
She's George's mother.
No way!
Why would I lie about that?
But she's so young!
Thank you!
Yukari-chan, was it?
I can't reach George on his cell phone.
Do you know where he is?
He's preparing for the school show at the atelier.
I think he'll be home late.
I guess I'll come back later.
I guess.
By the way, when can I see you parents?
Well, my father's job means he lives away from home.
Then I guess you mother will do. I want to meet her and talk.
You want to start working soon, right?
Yes.
Excuse me, then.
See ya!
Don't leave us alone.
Kozue seems to be very busy lately, so
she doesn't spend much time with me.
Uh, right
Grownups are so boring.
Have you known each other a long time?
Yeah.
We were at the same agency in our teens.
Are you still a model, then?
I got pregnant when I was 21, so I quit then.
On top of that, he had a wife and kids.
She must be really drunk.
It's unfair to be a woman.
I shouldn't have given birth to the son of a scumbag.
No way
You should be careful, too.
George is very caring about those things.
Oh? I didn't know that.
You didn't?
He's actually honest and dependable.
Didn't you know that as a mother?
No, I can't tell a thing about him.
You're amazing, Yukari-chan.
I used to see my guy about half of every week.
But then he started spending less time with me.
Isn't that mean?
She must constantly be bitching.
On top of that, George asked him for a new place and left mine.
Doesn't he realize who gave him his life of luxury?
It's because I sacrificed my life!
Right?
Then why don't you break up with your man and start a new life?
Everyone tells me to do that.
But I don't want to start my life over.
Than why not be more thankful?
Besides, is it his fault you got pregnant,
or that you quit being a model?
Weren't you acting of your own free will?
That's really impressive, Yukari-chan.
You're far more mature than me.
Should we open another bottle?
No thanks.
Yukari-chan, the door's over there!
I understood George a little better.
He doesn't want me to become like that.
I don't want to, either.
It really opened my eyes.
I will fight.
Wait, Yukari-chan!
Where are you going?
That's none of your business!
Why are you so mad?
Did I say something that upset you?
It'll look like I kicked you out!
George will scold me.
Um
What?
Giving birth to him may have been a mistake, but
George is very important to me.
So
I don't want you saying you wish he'd never been born!
No
That's not it.
I didn't really mean it.
I was just saying that
George is more important than anyone to me, too.
Because I gave birth to him.
Excuse me.
George, can I have a minute? I want to talk a little.
Can we do it later?
I'll listen when I get home.
I might not be able to go back there any more.
You can listen while you're working,
so just give me five minutes
Let's go.
Sorry for making you worry, guys.
But I'll be there for the show.
I'll be looking forward to the dress.
Yeah.
Let's win the grand prize together!
Are you going home?
Yeah.
So, what did you want to say?
I'm joining a modeling agency.
Yeah.
I heard that from them.
They were surprised when I told them that I didn't know.
Although I'm the one who was really surprised.
Well
Why didn't you tell me that yesterday?
This is something important.
I wanted to talk about it with you first, but
Aren't you getting something wrong?
Why do you need to discuss it with me?
If it's you thing, make your own decisions.
Then why are you mad?
I'm not mad.
Liar! You're really acting up!
Is that all you have to talk about?
Wait!
That didn't clear anything up!
If you have something to tell me, say it!
If you thought sleeping with me was more
important than becoming a model
then I'd really think you were a bitch.
I don't.
I'll never think of it.
I'm tired of a loveless man like you.
I just wanted to stay by your side.
Welcome home, Suguru.
Sister came home.
Oh, Yukari. Welcome home.
Is the bath ready?
It is.
Thanks.
What are you doing?
Come on in.
I will if you listen to what I have to say.
I will.
I will, so come in.
He's the most important thing.
Because I gave birth to him.
Mom, do you love me?
A pro model?
It doesn't sound real.
Besides, is that president trustworthy?
I want you to meet her so you can see for yourself,
Fine.
I'll see her.
Dad might be coming home this Sunday, so I'll tell him, too.
Thanks.
But only under one condition.
The condition Mom presented was surprisingly simple.
Graduate from high school properly.
I thought, if she'll allow me to become a model
I'll get through the entrance exam and anything else.
Even if it means not seeing George anymore.
Your parents' permission?
Yeah.
I can't join the agency without it.
Well, duh.
You're still underage.
Did you tell them you've left home and school?
