Dan Da Dan (2024) s01e11 Episode Script

[Seiko] Keep it up, Momo, and don't stop.
I'm watching ya!
[Momo, gruffly] Rocket engine valve.
Hey. Rocket engine valve.
[Aira laughing]
Hey, uh, Momo.
Jiji?
[electronic pop music playing]
It's about time.
Your mom let me know you were comin' over.
Wait! Hold up. Why is he here?
Who is this person?
[Seiko] He used to be Momo's best friend,
back when they were kids.
[gasps]
[Seiko] Her first crush, too.
[gasps]
[thinks] That guy is her first crush?
He's so cool.
And athletic, by the look of his clothes.
Seems nice enough.
But if she had a crush on him,
and knowing her tastes in men,
he's probably a tough guy.
[Jiji inhales]
[exaggeratedly] Momo!
You're still a cutie!
That lame impression was…
What's the word for it? Priceless!
I haven't seen you in forever.
Give me a big, fat hug!
Could you be any more annoying?
Hear that? She called me "annoying"!
Whoo!
One more! Give me one more!
Okarun, I need to kill him. Ya in?
Jiji. It's been a minute, kid.
-Oh, yeah. You can say that again.
-[Momo gasps]
-Thank you for having me over.
-Huh?
I swear, you're still as gorgeous as ever.
And you grew up to be quite the genius.
Make yourself at home.
Huh? Wait! What's goin' on here?
[sighs] Ain't it obvious?
He's movin' in with us.
[Jiji] Mm-hmm.
[screams] Are you freakin' crazy?
No way!
-No!
-That's right! Uh! I guess I am!
-You know you dig it! Whoo!
-[Momo screaming]
Kid's a genius.
-I'm a-home!
-[ching]
[Momo] Son of a…
-Don't I get a say in this?
-[Jiji humming]
[gasps] He'll be living here?
[Aira] This is super sus.
Wouldn't surprise me
if he were a demon too.
[gasps] Oh my gosh!
That's gotta be what she's planning.
She's building an unholy army
to prepare for the coming of Ragnarok!
I highly doubt that.
You wicked scheming schemer!
[shrieks] What's up your ass?
You thought I wouldn't notice
what you're up to, but I did!
Know this. I'm working with you
'cause there's aliens trying to kill us.
Soon as we take care of them,
I'm coming for you!
[Momo] She… she's back on that trip again?
Yeah, seems so.
-[ching]
-I'm off to gather my army.
And when Ragnarok comes, it's on. See ya!
-[Okarun] Good luck gathering.
-[Momo groans]
Someone get me out of this nightmare!
[wailing]
I, um… I guess I'll head home now.
[Momo stops wailing] Oh.
Well, take it easy.
Yeah.
[sighs]
Hey, Okarun!
[Okarun] Huh?
Uh…
[Momo grunting]
What?
[Momo grunting]
-[high-pitched grunting]
-What? What is it?
Gah! [grunts]
It's "See you tomorrow"! Duh!
Tonight's your turn to say it.
Oh!
I didn't know we were taking turns.
-We are! Say it!
-[gasps]
Oh. Sure.
Um…
See you tomorrow.
Cool.
[Okarun] Cool.
[Jiji] Ooh! [chuckles]
-Aah!
-[Momo] I don't get this setup.
KEEP OU
JIJI'S ROOM
Why is Jiji living with us
all of a sudden? Explain so I understand!
Your cooking's off the hook, ma'am!
Whoo-hoo!
Ah, you're too kind, you genius.
Hello! You listenin'?
How many times you want me to say it?
Jiji's folks are both in the hospital.
-That's why.
-Aah!
That don't explain anything. Times like
this, he should be staying with relatives.
Oh, listen to Miss Ice Queen over here.
Ain'tcha never heard
of helpin' out your fellow human?
Ma'am, you da coolest!
-Whoo-hoo!
-[sighs] Oh, please.
I'm just being me, you genius, you.
Come on, now. Eat up.
-Thank you-ooh!
-[Momo scoffs]
He's got you by the heartstrings,
and it's gross.
Like hell he does.
You know me.
I'm about as sympathetic as a rock.
Don't mean to butt in,
but can we talk about how sweet you are?
And that right there
is how I can tell you're genius.
-Eat as much as you want.
-Thank you!
-Whoo!
-[Momo groans]
[growls] Somethin's funny.
Aww! Who, me?
I mean funny like weird funny.
[Momo] Were we ever
that good of friends? I mean…
[Jiji] Remember how
I made fun of you back in grade school?
[gentle music playing]
[Jiji] I do, and I regret it.
[starts]
-[plate squeaks]
-I, um… [sighs]
-I can sorta see ghosts now.
-What?
Did it start after
you picked up a golden testicle?
Testicle?
Is that some kind of dirty joke?
[Momo] Oh, uh…
No, never mind.
Yeah, well. Remember how I moved
right before middle school started?
Well, my folks found
a place in the mountains,
which was cool,
'cause I loved all the trees.
The new house was ginormous.
I was totally hyped.
At the start, anyway.
But, uh, it wasn't long before
I started feeling something was weird.
It's hard for me to explain.
But everything about the place,
the toilet, the bathroom…
Somehow, they weren't right.
[disturbing music playing]
I told my folks,
but they didn't believe me.
Then I tried
telling myself it was nothin'.
-It was all in my head.
-[rustling]
[Jiji] I pretended
I didn't see what I saw.
But one day, it walked up to me.
It stood there,
daring me to look away.
And ever since then, I kept seeing it.
After that, my folks
got sicker and sicker for no reason.
And then, they hired
these five famous spirit mediums
to exorcise it.
Three of 'em
ended up committing suicide.
JUNE - DECEMBER - APRIL
We called other mediums. Experienced ones.
But they turned us down.
They all said there was only one person
they knew who could help us.
[both laughing uproariously]
So that's why you're here.
[yells] The old bag
should have told me what was up!
She couldn't even be bothered
to mention you were comin' by or anything.
Oh, well. It's good
that you came over to see her.
[Jiji] Momo, I'm sorry.
Why? This ain't your fault.
You don't have to apologize.
I do. For making fun of you back then.
And now, for dragging you
into this mess.
Don't apologize for asking for help.
And don't worry.
My grandma's a tough lady.
She'll kick that ghost's ass, no sweat.
[gasps]
[Seiko] I ain't doin' nothin'.
What?
You know I can't use my powers anywhere
outside the border of Kamigoe City.
That means you gotta handle this case.
How the hell
would I know how to handle it?
Wait. Was I hearing things,
or did you just call her your grandma?
[Seiko] The kid didn't see ghosts before.
-And now he can.
-Um…
[Seiko] Ten to one, that golden ball's
got somethin' to do with that.
If you take this case on,
I'll buy your uniforms for life.
Now, go blow that cursed house down.

EPISODE 11
FIRST LOVE
-Pa-pa-pa-pam!
-[air horn blares]
Name's Jin Enjoji.
You can call me Jiji.
-[gasping]
-[girl 1] Dang. He's cool.
-[girl 2] What a body!
-[giggling]
-Mr. Enjoji's parents--
-Who are you, ya cutie pie?
-[whimpers]
-[teacher] …are, uh, in the hospital now.
I'm super down. I need your digits,
or I'mma die, girl!
[teacher] And as you just heard,
it's a difficult time for him,
so let's help him get situated.
Go and have a seat next to Ayase.
-I heard you're related.
-Nah, we're way closer than that!
-[chuckles]
-[Momo] Not related. Not close.
Could ya be more cringe?
Damn! Burned by a hottie!
Stick a fork in, I'm done!
Hottie?
Oh man! He's cool, Momo.
[gasps]
[groans]
[Muko] He's fit.
Just fit? Not, like, hella fit? Oh man!
Hold up. Somethin's pullin' on my body.
It's this cutie magnet!
[giggles] Could this dude
be any more hilarious?
Oui!
-So, what's his deal?
-[sighs]
I knew him in grade school.
We were sorta friends back then.
-Sorta.
-[singing]
We live together!
[students gasping]
[friend] For real?
You, shut your hole!
Don't be startin' no rumors!
-Leave it.
-What? I'm tryin' to explain.
-It's a bad look.
-I don't want everyone thinkin'…
We are… [mimics drumroll]
-…lovers!
-[gasps]
And our folks are totes cool with it,
'cause they're progressive--
-[choking]
-[students gasp]
No way!
-[girl 3] Living together?
-She has a boyfriend! Okarun!
Homegirl's off-limits.
[teacher] "Jealous" is an adjective
which modifies nouns.
Uh, for example, you can be jealous
of another's happiness.
[Okarun thinks] This sucks.
If he's her first crush,
could she still like him?
[poignant music playing]
[Okarun] He was acting cute with her.
He said her name in a cute way.
He even said she was cute.
Maybe she still feels the same about him.
Moving on, the words "beautiful"
and "cool" are also adjectives.
[Okarun] If she does still like him,
and starts dating him,
does that mean she'll have
to stop being friends with me?
She'll get interested in his hobbies,
and lose interest in the occult.
So she won't wanna
talk about it on breaks.
And then she won't wanna
hang out with me anymore.
[breathing shakily]
[clock chiming]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[grunts]
I'm just a useless dork.
[grunts]
[wheezing] Get rid of all distractions!
Focus, Ken!
The only things that are important now
are your abs,
and your pecs, and your glutes!
[grunts]
There you are!
[Okarun shrieks]
[Momo] What was that?
Some kind of special move?
[Okarun struggling]
[gasps]
Miss Ayase!
Did you finish lunch already?
-Gonna eat it here.
-Why?
To make damn sure you don't
do nothin' shifty back here again.
I told you.
That wasn't my fault.
Miss Shiratori attacked me.
Whatever. Did you eat lunch yet?
[grunts] No, not yet.
You can't eat and lift those things.
-Want me to feed ya while you get swole?
-Huh?
[whimpers]
If you want to.
-Yo!
-[both gasp]
Hey! It's the dude from last night!
-You her friend?
-Uh… [chuckles nervously]
What's up? Ain't ya eatin'
with Miko and the gang?
Oh, someone's jelly-welly!
Too cute!
As if.
Check it!
Yogurt flavor Pompy.
[gasps] No!
For real?
Dude! [gasps]
[Jiji] I got it for you, milady.
[whimpers softly]
Huh. [breathing shakily]
[sighs]
[melancholy music playing]
[thinks] That's it.
I can't watch her
carrying on with him another second.
I'll try to not hang out
with Miss Ayase anymore.
It'll be better that way for me.
And for her.
-[man] I'm not gonna give up!
-Huh?
[roaring]
[huffing] Hup!
-[gasps]
-[man huffing]
[Okarun whimpers]
-[yelps] What?
-[grunting]
[screams] Miss Ayase!
[running man] Hoo!
-[roars]
-Help! [panting]
-Out of my way, kid!
-[Okarun screams]
No one's gonna stop me!
Huh? You're kidding me.
Whoa! That dude's all kinds of messed up.
-[huffing]
-[Momo] Stop right there, you bastard!
[Jiji] Run for it!
Outta my way!
-Momo!
-Okay, you asked for it, you--
-[splutters]
-[gasps]
[grunts]
-[Momo groans]
-[Jiji gasps]
-Taro!
-[gasps]
[magical chiming]
Okarun, he's got a ball!
A gold one!
-Oh! Let me go!
-Momo! Get behind me!
-[grunts]
-[groans] Would you let me go?
-[Okarun] Hold it!
-Get back here!
[roaring]
Huh? The nerve of some people!
[both yell]
-[screams] Okarun!
-[roars]
Hang on, Miss Ayase!
-[Momo] Hurry up and stop him!
-[Jiji] Momo! Hang on!
Hey, you! Stop running.
Don't you dare hurt Miss Ayase!
-[running man roaring]
-[Momo and Jiji shrieking]
[Momo screams]
[Okarun panting]
["William Tell Overture" by Rossini plays]
Why doesn't he let go?
I hate that he's… hugging her!
[power zaps]
[grunts]
[roaring]
[yelling]
[roars]
[gasps]
You can try to stop me all you want,
but I'm never gonna stop!
Damn you!
It's a bummer.
-Oh no! It's another monster!
-Okarun!
[grunts]
[Momo straining]
[man grunting]
-[Momo] Okarun!
-[Okarun] The power lines!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[music segues into
"Galop Infernal" by Offenbach]
[Momo and Jiji wailing]
[horn blares]
-[Okarun] Hang on!
-[shrieks]
[all screaming]
[Okarun] Momo, you see 'im?
[Momo] There!
Way to go, Okarun! You saved us!
[screams] The monster's got us!
I'll save you, Momo!
Would you cut it out?
Okarun's on our side!
-He's the guy with the glasses.
-[Jiji] For real? No way!
Here I go!
I got him, Okarun!
Get ready to stop.
Pull back on me, Jiji!
[grunts]
[yelps]
[wails]
[Momo] I'm gonna reel your ass in!
Quit bein' stubborn and give up already!
I won't give up!
I'll never give up!
[screaming]
-[Momo] Eww! Gross!
-[Jiji] Ugh!
Combine!
[roaring]
[music segues back
to "William Tell Overture"]
He took off in that direction.
After him, Okarun!
Damn it. Where'd he go? Huh.
Whoa, that's rad! You changed back!
-How do we find him?
-[music stops]
It's like a maze,
with all these side streets and houses.
[Momo grunts]
[man wails]
-[Momo] This way!
-[Okarun] Huh? Was that him?
-[Momo grunts]
-[Okarun] Uh…
Do you mind letting the rest of us in
on what you're doing?
[Momo chuckles]
-[man screams]
-[all gasp]
DO NOT ENTER
[Okarun] The junkyard?
I think we need
to ask for permission before going in.
Uh…
[groaning]
[gasps] Damn it to hell.
And I was so close!
[Okarun] How did you know
he'd be hiding in here, of all places?
-[man wheezing]
-[Momo chuckles]
[Jiij] Wh… Homeboy cannot
catch his breath.
[Momo] When he was
all split up into pieces,
I grabbed his heart
before he got back together.
Figured I'd punch it
to see if it hurt him.
Sure enough, it did,
and his screams gave him away.
-[Okarun] Yikes!
-[Jiji] Whoa! You're smart.
[Momo chuckles]
[Okarun] I kind of feel bad for the guy.
[whimpering]
[gasps]
[Momo] Don't be scared.
We're not gonna est ya.
I'll give your heart back,
but you gotta promise you won't run away.
Flip over. I wanna have a look
at that golden nut you got down there.
My friend's short one. It might be his.
You don't have to speak
about my issues so bluntly!
Are nut jokes trending or something?
[shudders]
[female voice] Taro?
-Is that you, Taro?
-[all gasp]
Hana! I'm here! Where are you?
[Hana] You shouldn't have come, Taro!
Go away! Please!
-[Taro] No! Keep talking! I'll find you!
-[romantic music playing]
I'll never give up on you, Hana! Never! I
-[Momo] Um…
-[gasps]
I am totally lost.
[gasps]
[grunting]
There you are!
I found you!
[Hana] It's too dangerous
for you to be out in the world.
Why did you risk it?
Because, damn it, I love you!
Don't you see?
After I met you, everything changed.
Before, my world was gray.
But thanks to you,
I see colors I never imagined!
[Hana] We can't!
Our dates of manufacture
are too far apart.
We're from different generations.
I'm obsolete. So go back to the school.
Hurry, before you end up
in the trash like me!
I don't care!
I'm in love with you!
I'll stay with you, no matter what!
If I let you go now,
I'll regret it the rest of my life!
So run away with me!
[Hana] Oh, Taro!
[lively music playing]
[song in Japanese playing]
Any resemblance to actual persons
or organizations in this work of fiction
(Ken Takakura included) is coincidental.
[Okarun] No one believes in UMAs.
It's only because they're animals
that haven't been seen before
and haven't been
biologically identified yet!
-[Momo] What's with you?
-[Okarun] He's pumped!
Next time,
"Let's Go to the Cursed House."
-[Momo] So, what's up with you?
-[Okarun] I'll never give up! Never!
