Paradise Kiss (2005) s01e11 Episode Script
Stage
1
That's dangerous!
Sir!
Oh, Mr. Nikaido.
Um I've told you a thousand times
that this parking space is reserved for the teaching staff!
Hey. It's been a while, Hamada-sensei.
How's my son?
Can he win the grand prize this time?
I don't recall any student with the surname "Nikaido."
Just remember, no matter how much you donate
whether he wins or not will be determined by his talent.
That's good to hear.
Hm?
As long as there are honest teachers like
you, I'll continue to support this school.
I I apologize for the rudeness.
Looks like there's still some time before the show starts.
I should go say hello to the principal.
Although I don't really care for her
Shall I accompany you?
Hamada-sensei, have you gotten prettier again?
P-please don't tease me.
I'll break up with him!
Damn that man!
Oh, you've finally made up you mind?
He hasn't seen me in two months!
What the heck is he thinking?
I'm sure you're annoying him.
But hey! What made you come out to see Junior's school festival?
What turn of events is this?
A lot of things happened and I'm thinking about them.
Yukino!
Yukino, it's you!
What a coincidence.
Joichi-san!
Kozue-san. It's been a while.
Uh huh.
Jeez! Do you realize how long it's been
since you last came to see me?
Don't be so upset.
It'll only cause wrinkles.
You meanie!
Looks like I'm intruding
I'll come see you later.
Really?
I thought you were breaking up!
Hey, Shimamoto! Yay!
Wow, Mikako. You came, too?
Of course!
I came last year, too.
Aren't you busy trying to finish up your new collection?
I am.
But looking at Yazawa Art's works
does wonders for my enthusiasm.
So I always come.
I see.
Yeah.
We were always so serious back then.
We agonized over even the smallest details.
But thinking back, those are all part of fun memories.
I know. I'd hate to forget the earnestness of those days.
Nope!
As we waited for our turn in the wings
of the stage, George held my hand.
Every time our turn drew a little closer, George's grip tightened.
By the end it started feeling like I was
holding his hand to comfort him.
Meeting George had made me realize that I have to
be strong for my own sake, not for anybody else's.
But it's different now.
For George's sake
for everybody's sake
I want to become stronger still.
It's okay.
Leave it to me.
I'll take everyone in this auditorium to paradise.
Hiroyuki-kun
You've really fallen in love with an impossibility.
Hayasaka.
Congratulations.
That's it, Yukari!
Don't you trip!
This is so wonderful, Caroline
You're so pretty.
You can do it, Carrie.
George is waiting in the wings.
George!
Come on, Yukari!
Yeah!
The grand prize is ours!
Caroline!
George!
George!
Thank you.
I couldn't be happier.
All right, let's have the toast!
Wait!
What's all this?
A celebration for a successful fashion show.
But we didn't win the grand prize!
Don't you fell bad about it?
We ought to be at least a little depressed!
Of course it's too bad.
But we can't do anything about it now.
It just isn't right!
Our dress was the prettiest!
Right.
In other words, the audience were idiots.
Clam down, Carrie.
We may have missed out on getting the grand
prize, but we still got second place.
And we only missed it by 5 votes.
That's even worse.
I won't be able to sleep tonight, thinking about this.
I won't let you sleep either way.
All right!
Now that Yukari's satisfied, let's start the party.
Yeah!
Good job, everyone.
Cheers!
You all did really well.
The show was really wonderful.
Anyway, the styling was totally overdone.
I was worried that they were going to fall off.
Sorry about that.
I heard that mohawk dude was crying when he saw our dress.
That so?
His dress was great, too.
It was so wild!
She was even bleeding!
That's rather disgusting.
I envy them
They're all smiling so nicely.
But
But I still wanted the grand prize.
I wanted to get first place and feel absolute superiority.
Hey Yukari, are you okay?
Superiority complex, huh?
That's so stupid.
Is something wrong?
Where am I?
In my room.
Are you okay?
Ahh! Eleven o'clock? I need to get home!
Hey.
I thought you were going to cheer me up.
I fought with Mom this morning.
I'd better get home soon, or I'll be in for another lashing.
Anyway, it's still annoying.
I could have put her to shame if we'd won.
Why do we have to win just for your mom?
Aren't you upset?
This product was my own, not ParaKiss's.
Even if we'd have won the grand prize, my name
would've been the only one on the paper.
I alone would have gotten the scholarship to study abroad.
It wouldn't have done a thing for anyone else.
But they all put their love and labor into that dress.
You remember how Miwako called it "our dress"?
Yeah.
She said that our dress was the prettiest.
Can you blame us for holding the audience responsible?
It was my own incompetence that cost us the grand prize.
It wasn't their fault.
So please stop complaining in front of them.
If you need to do it, do it with me.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry.
I'm grateful to you, too.
I'm just like my mother.
I was so fixated on coming out on top
and now that I haven't, all I do is bitch.
I actually envy the fact that you've so
particular about being the best.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
I can only make dresses to satisfy myself.
Even though that's not good enough
You’re going home, right?
I'll give you a ride.
I'll stay.
But your mother
A promise is a promise.
Sorry.
Yes?
Kaori?
Oh, sorry!
You really came.
Where are you now?
Sure, I'm on my way over right now.
Wait!
You playboy.
You've got a girl over this late at night?
I'll have to tell Kisaragi-sensei.
I guess the drinks will be on me tonight.
Sounds like you're busy tonight. Maybe we should reschedule.
Reschedule?
When are you going back?
Tomorrow.
See ya!
Hey, wait!
I'm going home!
Why don't you enjoy the rest of the night with Kaori?
I'm sorry.
I'll give you a ride.
Kaori was my classmate.
She's studying abroad in London now.
She came back just to see the school fashion show.
I didn't ask you anything.
She's just a friend.
Our school's easy to get into.
They'll accept anyone who pays enough.
So there's plenty of people who just come to good off.
But there are a few old-fashioned types
who come in from remote towns
who work to support themselves while studying hard.
Kori was one of those.
She looked like fun, so I tried to get close to her.
But she wouldn't let me.
I never even got the chance.
She stayed up all night making her dresses.
She was heading straight toward her dream.
I'm going to win the grand prize in the second-year festival
and the scholarship!
George Koizumi I'm not going to lose
to a snob like you, no matter what!
Wouldn't let me get close, treated me like an outright enemy.
A year later, she won the scholarship, just as she'd declared.
I thought she was a cool customer after that.
How about it?
You get free refills on you coffee.
Then I'll take an extra-large cup.
Sure thing.
Thank you.
Good night.
Yeah.
George
Yukari!
I'm sorry!
But please don't hit my face!
I'm already a model-in-training!
If you don't want to get slapped, don't make me mad!
I guess I'm still only a trainee.
You okay, sis?
Yeah.
Sorry about this.
Too bad you didn't get the grand prize.
Yeah.
But that hair was overdone.
Made me wonder more how it was done that anything else.
I'm impressed you found such a pretty girl.
Not only does she have a perfect body and face
even the shape of her collarbones and
the size of her instep curves are perfect.
Makes me think that she was born just to tease
me with her beauty and bad character.
Isn't a bit arrogant, thinking a person was born just for you?
It's not a bad thing to think that there's
at least one person like that, is it?
So, how are the things with you?
Oh, London is fun.
There's a lot of people from other countries there
an everyone's so open-minded.
You should come too, George!
It'd be a good fit for you!
The girl you were with earlier was that model at the show, right?
You guessed?
I'll write you again.
Sure.
Come to London!
Then I'll play with you a lot!
Anyway, where the hell is George?
He has his phone switched off again today.
What the hell is he doing?
Did he totally forget about the awards ceremony?
What should we do about hair and makeup?
Hey! Let's ask Seiji-san!
Sure, I don't mind.
I'm just heading there myself.
Really?
Thank you, Seiji-san!
I love you!
But Koizumi-kun is with me, too, so
maybe it'd be better to ask him.
Hey, what happened to your face?
Sure, I'm not as handsome as you boyfriend.
You left cheek's all swollen.
Maybe we can hide it with your hair.
The swelling hasn't gone down yet?
It was a strong slap
You mom, huh?
Even I want to kill her
Oops, squeezed out too much foundation!
Look this way, both of you.
Look here.
Okay, stay still.
Oh, you're all so wonderful!
It makes me ecstatic!
That night, before I went to bed, I felt
the photo from the awards ceremony lying on the
living room table, where nobody could miss it.
When I got home from school the next day
it had been put in a pretty frame and hung up on the wall
Once I get paid for that modeling job,
I ought to buy Mom some accessories.
Yeah, ones that'll sparkle so much that they'll illuminate her heart.
That's dangerous!
Sir!
Oh, Mr. Nikaido.
Um I've told you a thousand times
that this parking space is reserved for the teaching staff!
