Dolls (2002) Movie Script

We're ready.
Okay, let's start.
I beg you
Calm your heart
Do not be a slave
To such miserable feelings
Who has put you in this state?
No one else...
None other than I
I, Umekawa...
I am to blame for all.
Should I be grateful?
Or should I lament?
I don't know
Read my heart
Bowed in touching distress
She cried anguished tears
Onto the pieces of gold
The coins soon resembled
Beautiful and bright kerria flowers
All covered with dew
Bathed in her tears
The coins sparkled brilliantly
Honor, glory and fortune
Are only fleeting grains of sand
Their traces become dust
Scattered on the roads to Yamato
To be forever trampled on
They're the bound beggars.
Bound beggars!
- Hey!
- Hi.
Tell me, Sawako,
isn't she Matsumoto's bride?
Not anymore.
When I got his invitation,
I thought they finally tied the knot.
But I was wrong.
He's marrying the daughter
of our company's president.
You're kidding!
The family has taken
a liking to him.
So, he's a Cinderella boy?
He's out of our league now!
But how did he deal with Sawako?
He must have made a clean break.
I never thought Matsumoto
was the type!
Any guy would take
that opportunity.
Probably.
It's a shortcut to success.
In two years time,
we'll be bowing down to him.
It's the president's request!
I'm already engaged.
Forget her.
You haven't married her yet.
This is about your life.
Your father is right.
He's a hard worker.
But it was harder on him
without a diploma.
Why do you think
he sent you to college?
Think carefully.
This is about your life.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Don't let it go by.
I could never leave her.
If it's too difficult,
we'll apologize.
We'll beg her,
do whatever it takes.
What is it?
Congratulations.
I'm so happy!
Excuse me.
Someone is here to see you.
A friend of Miss Sawako.
Hey!
What's going on?
An old friend of mine is here.
I had forgotten to invite him.
Choosing success
was so important?
Sawako chose suicide.
Is she dead?
No, she survived.
But she's lost her mind.
She doesn't even recognize me.
She's as good as dead.
Where is she?
Hospital.
Which one?
She won't recognize you either.
Sawako chose suicide.
She won't recognize you either.
It's delicious.
Drink some more.
What happened to him?
He just disappeared.
And the wedding?
Looks like it's cancelled.
Okay! We pick up the trash.
Then we put it in here.
There's still some over there.
That's it.
How...?
Leaving your own wedding!
What were you thinking?
The bride was in tears.
And the president was furious.
Could you lend me some money?
Now, that's...
Whatever you have on you.
What do you plan to do?
If you don't apologize soon,
you'll be ruined.
You're a real friend.
I'll call you soon.
Hey! Matsumoto!
Sir...
Your lady friend...
Don't leave the room on your own.
You'll just get into trouble.
I'll take care of everything.
I'm sorry.
Give me that.
Sorry.
But Sawako, she...
I know.
It seems she's not
well at all. Is that true?
Are you there?
Hello?
Matsumoto?
Hey, you!
Are you from around here?
Where do you live?
Excuse me.
Is something wrong?
- Do you know her?
- Yes.
Then you should pay for them.
Give them to me.
Do you want to play?
Go ahead. Open them.
Let me...
Like this.
Let me...
You have to blow.
Like this.
It's chilly. Come inside.
You'll catch a cold.
Watch out, you idiots!
Are you crazy?
I'll buy you a new one.
Forgive me.
All done.
Everything's loaded.
Good. Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
We'll be going now.
We'll be going now.
It was his choice.
Boss...
Your new bodyguard.
I'm Ikeuchi.
At your service.
Is your mother well?
That's good.
Thank you.
- Say hello to your mother.
- Okay.
He's a son of a "brother".
What's up with them?
They're weird!
Excuse me, sir.
So, where did you
originally come from?
Hiroshima. The Takigawa clan.
Oh, yeah.
How long have you been with us?
For two years.
Already?
Why did you become a yakuza?
When I was a kid,
I was always fighting.
- A real troublemaker.
- Idiot!
What has fighting done for you?
Better to use your head!
Yes, sir.
In the old days,
it's true, we'd get
what we wanted by force.
Stay away from us
after you've killed him.
Even between "brothers", we have
to kill each other sometimes.
After you.
Brother!
You're killing me, too?
Sorry about that.
Do it.
What a pity.
We were really close.
The doctor is here.
I can't tell if I'm better or worse.
That damn quack!
He never speaks straight.
But I think...
I probably don't have long to go.
- Are you single?
- Yes.
No woman?
I left her.
Why?
A woman can be a burden.
Gets in the way.
You're from the old school.
Am I?
I thought like you back then.
- Here I am.
- You surprised me!
I brought lunch for you.
That's great!
Promise to eat it all?
- Here.
- Thanks.
- I'll start.
- Sure.
Is it good?
- Delicious.
- I'm glad!
I'm going out.
Take me to Saitama.
Today is Saturday, right?
They're from the store.
- Should you do that?
- It's okay. They're leftovers.
Next Saturday,
I'll make them myself.
Next Saturday...
I may not be able to come.
- Will you be busy?
- No. Yes.
Well...
I'm thinking of quitting my job.
The factory isn't doing well.
It may go bankrupt.
It's better to leave before.
The owner is too nice.
He doesn't have the heart...
He can't tell me I have to go.
I see.
You know,
I'll find a much better job.
If I stay like this,
I could never make you happy.
I don't know which way to go.
I need time alone
to see things clearly.
Don't worry about me.
Go on with your life.
I'll come for you
when things are better.
And not in these old clothes!
I'll come all dressed up!
You'll be surprised at my success.
Well, I should be going.
Goodbye.
Hiro!
I'll wait for you!
I'll bring lunch for you!
I'll wait here every Saturday!
I'll wait for you!
I'll bring lunch for you!
I'll wait here every Saturday!
I'll wait for you!
Wait here for me.
What is this place?
Don't ask questions like that.
Sorry.
That's the famous woman,
you know.
Every Saturday she brings
two lunches and sits on that bench.
She waits for her long-lost lover.
Excuse me, could we sit here?
I'm sorry, but I'm waiting
for my boyfriend.
We have a date
to have lunch together.
Could you leave
the space free for him?
Sorry about that.
Listen, we're not getting any bites.
Sorry.
Why aren't the fish biting here?
Sorry.
Enough with the sorry!
Did you put bait on my line?
What did you put?
- A slice of tangerine.
- Tangerine!
You used tangerine?
For bait?
You can't catch fish with tangerine!
Idiot! This is useless.
Let's go. Come on!
Hey!
It flew away.
Got you!
A lot of fans come here.
Famous Mr. Aoki came to see her.
Famous Mr. Aoki came to see her.
But she refused. She doesn't
want anyone to see her face.
But since you're blind...
By the way, I'm so sorry.
You'll be happy
just hearing her voice.
Girls become so pretty
When they're in love
That's what they say
Is it really true?
I hope it is, I do!
You can be shy
You can be awkward
But when you're in love,
A sparkle lights your eyes!
Eyes meet, the fire ignites
Love is taking off!
A look here, a look there
Like a beam flashing!
Ma-me-mi-mu-me-mo
Ma-me-mi-mu, magical beam!
Ma-me-mi-mu, magical beam!
Eyes meet, the fire ignites
Love is taking off!
A look here, a look there
Like a beam flashing!
That guy who ran by earlier,
was that Nukui?
He's the oldest groupie, right?
Since when?
About four years.
Like the kid in red.
They're not really kids.
They're both adults.
- In any case, they're loyal.
- Yes.
But be careful.
They can be just as dangerous.
The Tokyo Stock Market
experienced continuous drops.
The Garden Hotel's
liabilities prove to be...
Hey! Keep your eyes on the traffic!
Don't put that crap on your uniform!
Keep your eyes open, you jerk!
You can be shy
You can be awkward
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I have this extra lunch,
would you please eat it?
Thank you.
It's a pleasure, as always.
Thank you. Good luck!
Thanks. For you...
- Good luck, with all my heart!
- Thank you.

Two young girls drowned...
Pop star Haruna Yamaguchi
was involved in a car accident.
I just arrived.
- Have you seen Haruna?
- Not yet.
- Are visitors allowed?
- Pardon?
- Are visitors allowed?
- I don't know.
Listen up!
I'll tell you everything I know.
At about 11:20 last night,
she was returning
to Tokyo from Odaiba.
To avoid hitting another car,
her car crashed into a power post.
That's all I know.
- Was she driving?
- I don't know.
This is a hospital!
There are other patients!
Please leave now.
I have no idea. How many times
do I have to say it?
That's all for today!
Please leave!
I'll contact you later
when I know more.
Haruna Yamaguchi
No Signs of a Return
Forced into Early Retirement?
My daughter isn't home.
She withdrew from the world.
She won't see anyone.
Could I write her a note?
Just a moment.
- I'll take it.
- Thank you.
Could you write my name?
To Mr. Aoki, is that it?
Thank you for your support.
Wait here.
I'll get her.
Haruna!
One of your fans has come
to see you from Tokyo.
I told you I don't want to see them.
I don't want fans
to see my face like this.
But this man is blind.
Will you see him?
Here she is,
standing in front of you.
You're Mr. Nukui, right?
What happened to your eyes?
I thought it would be better
not being able to see.
Excuse me.
I think my boyfriend
will be here soon.
When he arrives, would
you please free his seat?
Sorry.
It smells so nice.
The roses are in full bloom.
That's why.
Your boyfriend...
Hasn't he come yet?
He's not coming.
No?
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Not now, since...
You come here in his place.
I have been wondering if maybe
I should stop waiting for him.
Would you join me for lunch?
Thank you.

You can be shy

But when you're in love...
Today, I made roasted cod roe.
Do you like it?
Of course. It's my favorite.
I'm so glad!
Come to think of it...
It was his favorite, too.
Boss!
Go on, call again!
Boss!
Shout louder, idiot!
Again!
No use. He isn't home. Let's go.
What are you doing?
You can pose better than that!
Pretend you're models!
Not like that! What's that?
Shut up
and take the photos already!
You're getting married.
I need to let everyone know.
No way! You can't tell anyone!
Your attention, please!
I have big news.
Matsumoto and Sawako
have decided to get married.
Getting married!
Really?
Congratulations!
You're jealous!
Not at all.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
You should have bought her a ring!
I couldn't. I'm broke.
Disappointed?
Thank you.
What are you two doing there?
You could start a fire!
Get out of here!
You heard me, move it!
