Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e09 Episode Script
Designer
1
That night, I studied for the two remaining exams
and finally went to bed as the sky started getting light.
I was away from home for only six days
but my room felt very distant, as if I'd been away for months.
I only spent three nights at George's
but I'd already made a habit of sleeping facing left.
George never turned his back on me while he slept.
I really loved it.
You'll catch a cold if you sleep there.
You surprised me.
Not just your voice Even your face is starting
to look like your father when he was younger.
Oh, was he this good-looking, too?
And that overconfidence, too.
It scares me.
If you don't like it, you shouldn't come here.
Your girlfriend scolded me last night.
Which one?
The one with the black hair and the ambitions.
Her name is Yukari-chan.
Oh, her?
She's very good.
I was impressed.
Yeah?
I sensed that she was genuinely thinking about you.
She wears me out.
I know it's not convincing, coming from me
but you ought to cherish someone
who thinks that much about you.
Don't worry.
I'm different from Dad.
I won't forget about you, who sacrificed
her life to give birth to me.
I'm not talking about myself.
Excuse me.
Women always want to talk about themselves.
I really am grateful to you, Yukino-san.
Oh? Hayasaka?
Are you over your cold?
Yeah.
That's good.
But this is the last day of exams.
I would have skipped it.
You're so serious.
Oh, was it really a cold?
Yeah.
I thought it would be cool if you'd eloped with a guy.
You watch too many soaps.
Hayasaka.
Are you
Are you over your cold already?
Yes, thanks.
I'm glad for you, Tokumori-kun.
Hey, I know this is sudden
Can you show me what's important in this math exam?
Sure.
Oh, but there's no single point for math
Let's see
This problem is guaranteed to be
on it, so remember this formula.
Yeah.
And this formula
It made me realize how much I was slacking this semester.
I'd better get ready for the make-up
exams for today's subjects, too.
When are the make-up exams?
They start next week.
I have to take three each day after classes!
Three each day?
You won't be able to make it to cram school.
I decided to quit cram school.
I haven't decided about the college entrance exam.
Even if I do take one, I won't stretch beyond my abilities.
I see.
You know, I think I can really get started in modeling.
You found an agency?
Then you won't have to try out for a college.
You think so, too?
But when my parents told me it was up to me
I started thinking college was an option for me, too.
Isn't that funny?
No, I think I understand.
It's completely different when you're forced
to do it and when it's an option.
It's the same from a third person's view.
I agree with the idea of going to college.
Really?
You know, modeling may depend on luck, too.
Working hard doesn't guarantee you success.
So I thought going to college as a backup
would be another way to do it.
I see.
If you leave her to me
I will select only the highest-quality jobs for Yukari-san.
It would be beneficial both from a business and a personal
standpoint for her to be working with top-flight personnel.
How would you like that?
I see your point.
I would like to talk with my husband about
what we have discussed today
and give you a reply at a later date.
Mom, do you want help with the dishes?
If you want to please me, get good
scores on those make-up exams.
Would I be helping her if I succeeded as a model?
For now, I've got to catch up with schoolwork.
I can't sleep at night, anyway
Hm? Where's Daddy?
Daddy came home early this morning.
So let's him sleep in.
I don't like that!
I envy Tsutomu-kun.
I came home early this morning, too.
You were at Arashi's, weren't you?
I wasn't.
We're staying late at the atelier to prepare for the show.
Oh, right.
And when is it?
The festival starts on Friday, right?
Don't mention it!
Tomorrow!
You're not done with it yet?
Why does it take so long to make a dress with four of you?
The dress is pretty much done
but the tiara, necklace and shoes aren't.
Oh.
It's good that the dress is done, at least.
George refuses to go without the perfect set.
Well, I understand how he feels
but being a perfectionist might not be the
best thing for a ready-to-wear designer.
George
Ah.
Mikako-san said that?
Yeah.
Right. When you make a job of it, you've
got to turn out a lot of clothing.
And to do that, you have to use a lot of people.
And you have to think that you want
many people to wear the clothes.
Selfish, opinionated pieces may not always work best.
But as I see it, my sister's just as much of a perfectionist.
But she's still successful.
So I'm sure George will be fine, too, right?
George isn't just a perfectionist, but also an idealist.
If he wants to succeed in the business world, he's
probably going to need to be more realistic.
The fashion industry ain't art.
That's a commendable quote, coming from
someone who's skipping his classes
Nagase-kun.
Shit.
What could this be, Sakurada-san?
It's the matching tiara for the show.
Wow, it's pretty!
It's so close to being done, but too bad
Confiscated!
Nooooo
I will confiscate anything you work on during class time!
Haven't you learned that after three years at Yazawa Art?
But we didn't think we'd have enough
time after school to finish it.
Don't be so naive.
Koizumi-kun hasn't been absent since yesterday
just because he's sick, has he?
If you can't finish it within the time everyone's been given
then you're not allowed to attend the show.
So what were you making, Yamamoto-kun?
Oh, I wasn't
Give it to me.
Noooo!
Come and get me!
Hey!
Wait, Nagase!
Wait up!
It's all right.
I'm sure Arashi will protect the necklace.
But the tiara was
We still have two days.
But I have to start over from scratch!
I can't do it in two days!
We're done for!
Calm down, Miwako.
In any case, let's discuss it when we meet up with George,
If I knew was going to happen, I'd have
skipped school and worked at the atelier.
Stupid Hama-chan.
Miwako, it's our fault for not following the rules.
Let's work hard in the time we've got left.
Carrie is coming for the rehearsal in the afternoon, right?
Hasn't it been whole week since we've seen her?
I can't wait.
Right.
I wonder if Arashi is okay
I hadn't seen George in the six days since our fight.
During that time, I kept myself busy with make-up exams
and dealing with the agency.
I was so busy that I didn't have much time to sleep.
But I still checked my phone regularly
filled with anticipation and frustration.
Studying wasn't that painful anymore.
Throwing out answers that are already there isn't hard to do.
But there are so many things that I
can't control outside of my studies.
Though I didn't understand them back then,
his words are finally piercing my heart.
Hayasaka, fourth period is over.
What are you going to do?
Right.
Hmm. You don't look too well yet.
Maybe you ought to get some more sleep and go home early.
No, I'm fine.
I'll go home and rest there.
Okay.
I was talking with your teacher earlier
I guess you did well in those make-up exams.
He was concerned that you might have pushed yourself too hard.
Oh.
Studying is fine
but getting sick will ruin everything.
Right.
I'm sorry.
Now I can go to the rehearsal.
Hayasaka
Should you be getting up already
Yeah.
I'm fine.
You don't look so fine, though.
Are you still going to the rehearsal?
Yeah.
Yazawa Art is pretty rough on people, summoning
students from other schools on weekdays.
Miwako and others know that you're back in school, right?
That's not it!
There's rehearsal on the day of the festival, too.
Miwako-chan told me that someone
else could sub as model today.
And?
It won't satisfy me if I don't go today.
But what if you push yourself too much today
and get sick on the day of the festival?
Please let me go!
Right.
I won't stop you.
I know how stubborn you are, Hayasaka.
Really?
But don't push it too far.
Being strong-willed and being stubborn are not the same thing.
That's so nice.
Talking with Tokumori-kun is really refreshing.
George acts arrogant around others
but he's still a selfish brat.
He toys around with other people's emotions,
flinging them around and hurting them
I may break if I stay with him.
Man, I'm really torn.
But
But still
I miss you so much when I don't see you.
I miss you so much, it hurts.
So
George!
Yes.
Oh, Izabella.
What?
Is something wrong?
Yeah, I'm just heading there.
She got me!
Is that Arashi? How annoying
Well, George
Hey, this isn't good!
What's wrong?
You don't look well, either.
Izabella, let me call you back.
Hey, Yukari! Hang in there!
Don't worry.
I'm right here.
Hey, Yukari!
The world's turning dark
Oh, it's because I suddenly ran.
I couldn't sleep for a long time.
I couldn't really eat, either.
George, I missed the warmth of your hands.
I wanted to stay with you forever.
George, I wanted you to hold me tightly.
Where am I?
You're in a hospital bed.
You passed out all of a sudden.
The rehearsal!
I've got to go!
It's past five o'clock.
It's nearly over.
I promised not to be a bother and work hard
I'm really sorry.
Miwako was excited to attend the rehearsal.
So nobody thought it was a bother.
We were worried, though.
You're acting weird.
George, you're being too kind.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm always kind.
But you never called me!
Same goes for you.
I've been thinking about you the whole time!
Me too.
That's a lie!
Then you should have called me!
But you never called me either.
I've never left the phone on for a whole week before.
Oh, you're awake.
How do you feel?
Yes. I'm feeling much better, thanks.
Then let me take out your IV.
You had some malnutrition.
And a touch of anemia.
You're so skinny, too.
Are you on a strict diet?
No, I've always been skinny.
I usually eat more than others
but I didn't have much appetite recently.
You have to eat even if you don't want to.
Right.
That nurse was cute.
I ought to come here if I ever need to be hospitalized.
I knew you'd say that.
Hey, George. I'm fine now, so I'll take the train home.
Don't be so shy.
But the dress isn't done yet, is it?
It'll be fine.
Oh?
Did you lose weight?
Why didn't you eat?
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Carrie.
Adjusting the size isn't too difficult.
But this is the worst possible time for it.
Worst?
Is something wrong?
Our tiara and necklace were confiscated by Ms. Hamada.
I didn't expect Arashi to get caught, too.
Shut up!
So, what are you going to do, George?
We won't be able to produce anything good by rushing.
So we're going with nothing?
That won't happen, either.
Then what are we gonna do?
It'll be fine.
Knowing me, I'll come up with something at the last minute.
Really, you don't have to take me home.
But you're not feeling well.
As you can see, I can walk without you
but the dress won't get done without you.
I think I can sleep alone tonight.
I'll see you on the day itself, George.
Didn't you hear me?
Can I kiss you?
Yeah.
If we win the grand prize.
Then I can act like I'm letting him
while enjoying him all I want.
