xxxHOLiC (2006) s01e02 Episode Script

Episode 2

Airing artifacts! Don't put ceramics on ceramics! - Watanuki, this is for you.
- What? Oh, dear Yuko-san.
Although you complain a lot, you work briskly and efficiently.
These are poorly preserved.
How long did you leave them as is? This is a rest house.
Rest house? That's right.
These things rest here until they find their owners.
Understand? - Episode 2: The Value - This is a store that grants visitor's their wish.
I stepped in here accidentally and met Yuko, owner of this store.
You can see the ghost, can't you? Because of your blood.
Your blood attracts the ghost.
Please make my eyes so they no longer see the ghost! I grant your wish.
However, there is a charge.
I deal in equal measures.
The price? What should I do? You should work at this store.
Work until the amount of work counterbalances your wish.
Mr.
Part-timer! Isn't this just a common part time job? That piece was done more than 200 years ago.
Wow, it's beautiful! May I? Is this a kaleidoscope? Or not Either way, this is definitely valuable.
I may have been tempted by this.
Do you like it? Are you the owner? What a great collection.
I'm sorry that I entered here without permission.
That's all right.
It's also inevitable.
Inevitable? I like that.
I'm Tsuda.
I major in Folklore at the university and love antiques.
If you wouldn't mind, may I buy this? This shop grants visitor's their wish.
However, I don't recommend you buy that tube.
Why not? An affinity exists between a thing and a person.
Affinity? If it's the case, we're perfect! I fell in love with this at first sight.
Are you serious? Since I'm a very lucky man, I generally get everything I want.
I think you, as a part-timer, cannot understand it.
I should say, we were born under different status.
All right.
I grant your wish.
- Yeah! - Yuko-san.
However, there is a condition, a price.
Don't open this tube.
That's the price you pay.
Is that it? All right! As I thought, I'm a lucky man.
Just kidding! - Himawari-chan.
- Don't touch me! Morning! Ah Morning.
How come you were absent from school all week? I worried about you.
I had many things to do.
Well, Himawari-chan, about what happened the other day Ah! We'll be late! Let's run.
You run so fast.
Hey, Mr.
Part-timer.
You Don't call me You! I'm your teacher.
See? Isn't this the uniform of Tsuji High School? I start teaching here today.
Nice to meet you! Does anybody know the famously witty Ikkyuu-san? I do! Ikkyuu-san was well known in those days Tsuda substituted for the history teacher who was hospitalized with a sudden illness.
He'll teach here a month.
If I do this, he looks just like a criminal.
So, did you meet Tsuda-sensei through a part-time job? Well, how should I put it What a coincidence! Such a thing happens, right? - Hello.
- Good afternoon.
You two get along well.
What's the matter? This.
I've been trying to open this.
But I don't know how.
Do you know how to open it? Didn't you promise Yuko-san? Promise? Oops.
Did I? - Don't! - Get out! Watanuki-kun.
Ah, what's that? This? Do you want to see? I only give you permission to touch.
I think that this is an ancient puzzle.
If I push or pull somewhere, it will open wide It's open What is this? The Monkey's Paw? The Monkey's Paw.
Haven't you ever read about that? It's a magic item that grants all the wishes of the owner.
That's fiction, right? Since I'm a very lucky man, this may be the genuine artifact.
Don't do that! Ah, I remembered.
There's a marathon at the PE lesson today.
I was told to run with students.
But I don't want it.
Don't do that.
- Monkey's Paw, please listen to me! - Stop it! Please cancel the marathon! Damn, as I thought, this is an imitation.
So, the marathon was canceled.
Do you think that was mere coincidence? Are you kidding? That Monkey's Paw is the genuine artifact.
Genuine artifact? I thought he only opened a tube.
He overestimates himself too much.
- He doesn't do anything good.
- I know.
Then, why did you give that to him? This shop grants visitor's their wish.
And he was a visitor.
- That was why.
- But - Hirezake (Hot sake flavored with fish fins) - What? Can you make me Hirezake? Don't forget to grill the fish fins.
Yuko-san, may I ask? About what? When will you grant my wish? I can't remain a housemaid like this forever.
True.
Nevertheless, superficial labor doesn't counterbalance your wish.
Hirezake, Hirezake! I'll help you! Me too! Let's go, Watanuki! Hirezake! Leave me alone! Leave me alone! Nothing can be created out of nothing.
You'll realize soon, Watanuki.
Big pond at the back of school lost all water in a night.
- It's impossible, isn't it? - I think so.
Does that have something to do with the Monkey's Paw? Domeki.
While it rained, the water in the pond disappeared It's easy to understand.
Himawari-chan, did you tell him about that? Yes.
I talk everything over with Domeki-kun.
However, the story of the Monkey's Paw usually ends in tragedy.
Don't eat my lunch! May I? Hey! How are you, Mr.
Part-timer? Look! This is the genuine artifact.
When I wished to get a Rolex, I found this on the road.
One finger per wish, right? So, I still have 3 wishes.
I'll get everything.
Money, status, and Hey, Himawari-chan.
Are you free tonight? If you like, why don't we go out? I can't You can't expect such a good-chance again.
You can be a friend of the future Mr.
Success.
Domeki-kun.
Damn, you! I'm sorry.
I tried to kill a fly.
What? What are you laughing at? Give me the tube.
- What? - I say give me the tube! Please.
Have you heard about Hirosaki-sensei who is the history teacher? There was an accident his oxygen mask came off because of a mistake in the hospital.
- Poor him.
- Did you wish that? I like teaching at this school, since I made new friends like you.
Give that to me! Tell Domeki.
I'll repay 1,000 times the original amount to him! And about Himawari, didn't I tell you that I generally get everything I want? Hey, do you want to fight? Do you? Come on! What's wrong? Come on! Hey, what are you doing? Stop it.
Come on? No way! Shut up, cop.
Are you all right? Don't fight.
Are you all right? Wait! - Where are you going? - Hands off! Hands off! I want you to tell me what happened.
Go to hell, cop! Are you all right? Are you all right? Are you all right? Are you all right? No kidding! Did that count? Nothing can be created out of nothing.
Compensation is always necessary for the accomplishment of the wish.
Are you Tsuda-san? Tsuda! Wait! Is it the Tsuda who stole the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) chairman's Rolex? Do you know Tsuda was the last person to visit Hirosaki-sensei at the hospital before that accident? Did he remove his oxygen mask? He wanted to teach at this school longer.
He may have killed a policeman.
He is dangerous.
- Hey, Tsuda! - Get lost! Tsuda! Excuse me, may I ask a few questions? I told you everything yesterday! That policeman fell by himself.
I did nothing wrong! We think so too.
However, the Criminal Identification Section is Tsuda-san? Tsuda! Tsuda-san.
Please open this.
Tsuda-san? Tsuda! Tsuda-san.
Tsuda-san.
Monkey's Paw, grant my last wish.
Delete everything.
Delete.
Delete everything in front of me! Do it right now! You're back.
Does everybody behave like him? Even though their wish was granted, do they become like that because of the price? There are no special things anywhere.
That's all.
However, everybody forgets that.
Did Tsuda-sensei commit suicide? Like that accident, there are so many tragedies these days.
It was only an accident.
Accident? Is there an accident in this world? Domeki-kun! Watanuki-kun! I'll surely grant my wish, no matter how much the cost.
How about the 100 ghost stories? Is anybody there? Who is it? I'm sorry, mother! I'm sorry.
Since everybody I need is here today, anything can happen.
Domeki-kun, take the bow.
You can do it.
There's a visitor as I expected.
