Super Happy Forever (2024) Movie Script
1
Was this the room?
Yes.
N 819.
Come with me to the baths.
I'll leave your towel here.
OK.
Is this your son's?
Sorry?
What?
This red cap.
Yes, why?
No doubt about it, it's his.
- Hello?
- Mr. Sano ? It's Iwai, the publisher.
Oh, yes, hello.
Last month,
you posed for our magazine.
Nagi did the photos,
for a dossier on Hakata.
Well, she still hasn't
sent us the photos
and she can't be reached.
I have qualms about going through you
to contact your wife
but I'm in a bind
and I was hoping
you could ask her about it.
I see.
The photos...
Yes, would you mind
asking Nagi?
Yes?
Sorry for the wait.
Excuse me,
but I'm looking for a cap.
- Did you misplace it?
- Yes.
What does it look like?
- It's a red cap.
- OK.
- Here it is.
- Allow me.
Thank you very much.
A red cap, then.
When did you lose it?
The morning of August 19, 2018.
Pardon?
In 2018?
Yes.
5 years ago, when I came here.
Of course, I understand.
Where exactly did you lose it?
I'm not sure.
Alright.
Give me a few moments,
I'll check.
Hello!
An!
- Is tomorrow your last day?
- Yes.
We'll all be separated.
It's sad.
Thanks for waiting.
I'm sorry,
but I couldn't find it.
But...
- Did you look hard?
- Pardon?
Yes, I assure you.
I'm really sorry.
Did you sleep?
I couldn't.
You should come to the seminar.
It would help you.

An Account of My Hut
by Kamo no Chmei.
Look.
The hotel closes
at the end of the month.
It says so.
It's closing in a few days.
There'll just be this piece of paper.
But...
What?
Shit...
Sir!
Are you OK?
Can you hear me?
Sano! Call for help
and an ambulance!
He was in cardiac arrest,
so I gave him CPR
by AED.
- Are you a doctor?
- Emergency room nurse.
I see. Thank you.
For the family's contact,
please ask the hotel staff.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
What's the patient's name?
It's crazy.
It's got to be my ring.
This is the second time
I've saved someone.
The old man won't make it.
Why's that?
You can tell by his breathing.
Just now,
you said he'd be fine.
I wasn't going to tell him otherwise.
But when you have to die, you die.
Despite my help,
he won't escape his fate.
What?
Hey, this place...
It's closed.
I remember!
Is this the big spoon restaurant?
Nagi and you,
you were always criticizing.
Right?
The red thing.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure that's it.
What?
Do explain.
What are you doing?
Wait.
What's up?
Stop.
Are you crazy?
Wait!
This sucks!
Sano!
Don't you have a picture of the cap?
But...
It's Nagi...
You should drop it.
It's pointless.
It's been 5 years.
You won't find her.
Right now,
you're giving off bad energy.
You're too materialistic,
a slave to things and time.
There is another world,
free of this alienation.
There's not just one reality.
Sorry, excuse me.
My friend and I have very good eyes.
- So we noticed it.
- What?
We have the same one.
- Amazing!
- Yes.
- Isn't it?
- I can't believe it.
- It's thanks to her.
- I spotted you right away.
It was obvious.
- I'm glad!
- Me too.
Here you are.
I can't believe
we recognized each other.
- We have the same aura.
- Exactly.
That's really it.
The seminar changed everything for me.
I so understand!
I used to be very negative.
I think I was giving off
bad energy.
But when I agreed
to receive the messages,
everything changed.
- I do boxing.
- Do you?
Great!
Since I've been getting messages,
I've been winning.
I anticipate the moves.
It's crazy.
It's amazing.
What about you, Sano?
- Are you an SHF too?
- Pardon?
Super Happy Forever.
That's the name of our seminar.
That's what it's called?
Seriously?
I understand.
I was like you too.
Between us, Sano,
have you ever received messages?
From another planet?
No, not at all.
Of synchronicity.
Like coincidences.
I don't know.
Maybe when I met Nagi.
Nagi is my wife.
What happened?
Well,
there was a teenage girl
dozing in an armchair,
holding her cellphone.
And as she slept,
her cellphone kept slipping.
- Stop it, Sano.
- So...
She almost dropped it several times,
but each time, she caught it.
And in the end,
it slipped through her fingers.
I couldn't help screaming,
and I heard
a woman's voice screaming too.
Nagi and I
were the only two
who saw this girl
drop her cellphone.
And this teenager
caught her cellphone
just before it hit the ground.
It was crazy.
Nagi and I looked at each other.
We couldn't believe it.
That was 5 years ago.
- Is she your wife now?
- Yes.
- Amazing!
- It's crazy.
It's great.
But the other day, she died.
In her sleep.
Who wants a beer?
I'm fine, thanks.
But...
- You loved her, didn't you?
- Sorry?
If you were,
your wife must have been very happy.
Stop it, Sano.
Frankly, you're very rude.
I'm joking,
but I'm not laughing at you.
Nagi wasn't happy.
I was very cowardly...
and selfish.
Where's he going?
- He's going to sing, isn't he?
- I don't know.
Is he?
I've never heard him sing.
If you feel bad,
let me know, I'll stop.
Thank you.
You see the pier
which is near your hotel?
That's where it appears.
What are you talking about?
The ghost.
Some nights, at this time,
a ghostly woman
looks out at the sea from the pier.
Then she disappears.
What?
Hey, stop kicking.
Can you stop, sir?
Stop it, Sano.
Sir!
Stop, I'm telling you.
- Get out.
- Sorry, we're going.
- Get out.
- Sorry.
Come on.
Shit.
Go buy me some water and cigarettes.
What? Cigarettes?
High light Menthols.
You smoke?
Seriously...
- What's the brand again?
- High light Menthol.
You're a pain.
What are you playing at?
You're getting on my nerves.
You got ripped off...
with your shitty seminar.
You line up clichs
and you think you're superior.
Like those two dumb bitches.
Stop it, calm down.
Drop it.
You're a pain.
A real pain.
Get off me.
I'm going to throw up.
Come here.
You're heavy!
You're a pain.
Come over here a bit more.
You really weigh a ton.
Ouch.
Shut up.
I've had enough.
Don't turn your back on me.
Why?
Because...
Nagi was sleeping like that
when she died.
Does Nagi still believe
she's sleeping?
Miyata...
Miyata!
Have you seen my ring?
I threw it away.
Keep in touch.
- Hello?
- Reception.
- Is this Miss Nagi Sano?
- Yes.
Miss Niiyama is on the line.
May I put her through?
- Yes, please.
- Thank you very much.
- Hello, Nagi.
- Eri! Where are you?
Lose your cellphone again?
Yes, sorry.
I left it at home.
- Put it around your neck!
- Yeah.
Where are you now?
My grandmother
fainted this morning.
I'm about to go to the hospital.
I don't think
I can meet you at the hotel.
Maybe it's better if we cancel
the last 2 nights?
Yes, you're right.
I'm really sorry.
Keep me posted, OK?
What time suits you?
Is 4 o'clock OK?
Yes, that's fine.
- I'll give you my number.
- Yes.
Hold on.
- OK.
- So... 090...
Excuse me.
- Do you have a local map?
- Yes.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you very much.
Have a nice walk.
Hey, man!
You have to sign.
Everything OK?
Yes, fine.
- Is that your lunch?
- Yes.
Thank you very much.
I bought it on the train,
but I didn't eat it.
- May I?
- Yes.
Thanks. I like it a lot.
Where are you from?
I live here.
Really?
I'm Vietnamese.
- I've been to Hanoi.
- Have you?
Where I was born...
- Ho Chi Minh.
- Oh, I know it.
Vietnam, sad.
Vietnam, over there?
Over there?
Oh, no.
There!
Oh, there!
So, Hawaii's that way!
When I can't sleep,
I go there and look at the sea.
It's nice.
Travel?
- Travel?
- Ah, travel! Yes, I do.
Very well-known here,
is taking the boat.
Sounds fun.
Lots of couples.
Lots of couples!
Alright.
Impressive,
the girl with the cellphone.
Yes, it was.
- Are you by yourself?
- Yes.
I was supposed to come with a friend
I'm doing a fanzine with.
It's a magazine with text
and illustrations.
- Do you see?
- Pretty much.
But she couldn't come
at the last minute.
- Oh, dear.
- Right.
- My name is Sano.
- No way!
My name's Sano too!
Nagi Sano!
That's crazy!
It's a pretty common name.
Yes, it is.
But even so!
- That's a first.
- Same here.
- What's up?
- This is Miyata.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
In the beginning, the hot springs
were in the sea.
Then they migrated inland,
the sea cooled,
and humans were able to bathe
and live healthy lives.
Hence the name Atami,
"the warm sea".
- Miyata, what do you do for a living?
- I'm a nurse.
But in my spare time,
I write novels.
That's why you know
this kind of story!
Maybe, but writing is just a hobby.
He works in recycling
and restoration.
You want to open
a restaurant, right?
Since I can't make a living
from photography, I also have a job.
What kind of job?
- I work in a thrift shop.
- Where?
I live in Fukuoka.
But I went to university in Tokyo.
You come from far away.
We live in Tokyo.
- That's weird.
- What?
Didn't I order a poke bowl?
Because it has no taste.
I must admit
I thought the same thing...
1,800 yen for this?
Mine's really good.
Best I've ever eaten.
You made the right choice.
Taste mine.
Seriously?
I'll take it from his bowl.
Go ahead, enjoy!
You must be kidding, it looks great.
I love it!
It's not that...
It's not bad, it's just tasteless.
It isn't!
And the spoon is weird.
Yes, it is!
It's too big,
hard to eat with.
- Stop criticizing.
- But it's true.
It pulls at the sides of the mouth,
it's not practical.
- You've got a small spoon.
- Is it?
Oh, yeah, how come?
The big one's special poke.
Sorry for the wait.
- Go on, tell her.
- You tell her.
- Please, stand here.
- Thank you.
- Sano wanted...
- Miyata has something to tell you.
Go on, Miyata, we're listening.
Nagi, what are you doing tonight?
Nothing special.
Want to go clubbing?
Is there a club here?
Apparently. How about it?
Yes, I'm tempted.
It'll be fun.
Wait, what time is it?
- Just after 4.
- 4?
I have to call my friend.
I'm going back to the hotel.
Really?
- Sorry, I'm off!
- Wait!
Meet at the station
in an hour.
In an hour at the station, sure!
Sorry! See you later!
- Be careful!
- Yes!
Look out...
See you later!
Stand over there.
OK?
You're good to go!
OK, thanks.
Thanks, An.
Sorry to have bothered you.
You can go.
The rehearsal's over.
Hey!
- Do you work here?
- Do you sleep here?
Yes.
- Did you hear me?
- Yes.
- What?
- I'm ashamed of my voice.
- What's the title?
- Beyond the Sea.
Beyond the Sea. I love it.
I love it too.
Are you working now?
I've got to get back.
- See you soon.
- OK, all the best.
- Sorry I'm late.
- No worries.
Thanks a lot.
- You been waiting?
- No, we just got here.
Don't worry.
- Right on time.
- Phew.
- Well, the hotel is nearby.
- That's true.
- It's hot.
- Yeah.
But it's sunny.
You must wait
for the treatment to take effect.
I forgot my camera.
- At the hotel?
- Yes.
- Shall we go back?
- No.
Never mind.
I'm just tired
of always forgetting everything.
I understand.
Go on, I'll catch you up.
- Sure?
- Yes, don't worry.
OK.
Still there?
- Is everything OK?
- Yes.
I think we can wait a little longer.
Look!
The Return of the Living Dead!
Do you like horror movies
and zombies?
Yes, I love them.
George A. Romero, Sam Raimi...
And Carpenter?
Yeah.
But I prefer Rob Zombie's
Halloween.
I don't know it.
You don't know
what you're missing!
It's just your size.
I found it on the ground.
It's awkward.
It doesn't stink.
It's cool. How much is it?
No price tag.
It suits you.
- Seriously?
- Yeah, really.
Excuse me!
- It was on the ground.
- Thank you.
Are you selling it?
- Do you want it?
- Yes.
That'll be...
- 1,000 yen.
- I'll take it.
- Here.
- Thank you.
So cheap!
He didn't seem to understand.
- Wow, it really suits you!
- Does it?
Yes, in fact, I'll give it to you.
- Really?
- Yes.
It was cheap
and looks better on you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you have a lighter?
I lost mine.
- You lose your stuff a lot.
- Yes!
All the time!
I wonder what happens
to all the stuff I lose.
Your cigarette's bent.
Miyata is having fun.
He's giving it his all.
Why didn't your friend come?
- She lost her grandma.
- Oh, no.
How's she doing?
She was crying,
but her grandma
had a good life.
What's this?
- A toy.
- A toy?
- How much?
- 300 yen.
- Expensive!
- No.
Are you sure?
What's it called?
- I don't know.
- But you bought it.
- Isn't it cute?
- Yes, it really is.
He's holding her shoulder.
Look, a lighter!
I found a lighter.
It works.
I'll keep it.
- Have you heard from Miyata?
- No.
But he must have scored
with the girl.
You know, Miyata is
always messing around.
But right now,
it's hard for him.
His dad's been diagnosed
with early onset Alzheimer's.
It's down to him and his kid sister.
He looks carefree, but it's hard.
I see.
It's cool he's having fun.
Yeah.
Especially as he's newly single.
Is he?
He should enjoy it!
Actually, I'm hungry.
- You are?
- Yes.
Let's buy something.
- What do you want to eat?
- Just a snack.
- Come on, let's have a snack.
- Great.
- This will be great.
- Yeah.
It smells so good!
Reminds me of high school.
It's been 3 minutes.
Really?
- Let's eat.
- Yes.
Enjoy!
It's so good.
So good!
The best.
- I want to try yours.
- Me too.
Curry taste!
So good.
It's so good!
Like 2 days ago.
Eating instant noodles, can be enough
to make me super happy forever.
- Which floor?
- 8th.
- Me too.
- Seriously?
This is my room.
- 819.
- Yes.
It's tomorrow, August 19.
Oh, but... It's my birthday.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes.
- Really? And you forgot?
- Yes, completely.
My friend must've booked it
on purpose.
Happy birthday.
Thank you very much.
Let's celebrate tomorrow.
Are you sure?
- But I'm going back tomorrow.
- So am I.
But we can meet up first.
Thanks for the cap.
It's my birthday present.
That's OK.
Can I take your number?
I left my cellphone at home.
So...
I see. Good night, then.
Can you wait for me for 2 minutes?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Would you like to have
breakfast together?
Yes.
- Is 8 o'clock OK?
- Yes, that's fine.
Goodnight.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Have you found a red cap?
A cap?
Where did you lose it?
I'm not sure.
What does it look like?
- It's a very plain red cap.
- Wait a moment.
Sorry, but nothing like that
has been handed in.
May I have
your room number and name?
- 819. Nagi Sano.
- Thank you.
If we find it,
we'll call you
at the number shown here.
However, Miss Sano,
you're past your check-out time.
- What time is it?
- 11 o'clock.
- Thank you very much, sorry.
- Miss!
What's the matter?
My friend has already left.
I'll just clear the room.
Is everything OK?
Have you seen a red cap?
A cap, for the head.
I haven't seen it.
Never mind.
- Go ahead, you can start.
- Thank you.
- Need any help?
- No, I'm good.
Can I take a picture of you?
What do you want to do in Japan?
- Do you have a dream?
- No.
I work, I get money.
That's all.
And...
if you find my cap,
will you keep it for me?
OK, I will.
My red cap.
Please, keep it.
You can wear it,
it'll look great on you.
One day,
I'll come back here.
- We'll meet again.
- Yes. We'll meet again.
Take care.
See you.
Where were you?
I lost the cap.
I'm sorry.
- Were you looking for it?
- Yes.
I got scared.
I thought you didn't want me anymore.
What are you doing now?
I'll keep looking.
Let's look together.
That way?
- I'm so sorry.
- No worries.
I'm so relieved.
- You're not mad at me.
- No!
But you lost the cap.
Don't worry, we'll find it.
- 'Night, Mr Sait.
- Goodnight.
- Your last day?
- Yes.
- See you, then.
- Take care.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
Have you heard from Ha?
Not recently.
I don't know where she is.
I hope she's OK.
We were lucky.
Everybody's nice here.
Where Ha worked was horrible.
The employees were mistreated.
Poor Ha!
I'd love to see her again.
I wonder where she is.
Wanna grab a bite to eat?
Wherever you like.
Sushi or Korean barbecue.
I'm easy.
Me too.
- Barbecue, then.
- OK.
Let's do that.
Goodnight.
'Night.
Thanks for everything.
Thank you very much
for these 5 years with you, sir.
You've done a great job.
Thanks to all of you.
When you come back to Japan,
get in touch.
We will.
Goodbye.
Take good care of yourselves.
- You too. See you soon.
- See you soon.
Thanks again for everything.
See you!
See you soon, sir.
I'll catch up with you.
- OK, see you later.
- See you later.
Was this the room?
Yes.
N 819.
Come with me to the baths.
I'll leave your towel here.
OK.
Is this your son's?
Sorry?
What?
This red cap.
Yes, why?
No doubt about it, it's his.
- Hello?
- Mr. Sano ? It's Iwai, the publisher.
Oh, yes, hello.

- Yes.
What does it look like?
- It's a red cap.
- OK.
- Here it is.
- Allow me.
Thank you very much.
A red cap, then.
When did you lose it?
The morning of August 19, 2018.
Pardon?
In 2018?
Yes.
5 years ago, when I came here.
Of course, I understand.
Where exactly did you lose it?
I'm not sure.
Alright.
Give me a few moments,
I'll check.
Hello!
An!
- Is tomorrow your last day?
- Yes.
We'll all be separated.
It's sad.
Thanks for waiting.
I'm sorry,
but I couldn't find it.
But...
- Did you look hard?

Yes, I assure you.
I'm really sorry.
Did you sleep?
I couldn't.

The hotel closes

It says so.
It's closing in a few days.
There'll just be this piece of paper.
But...
What?
Shit...
Sir!
Are you OK?
Can you hear me?
Sano! Call for help
and an ambulance!
He was in cardiac arrest,
so I gave him CPR
by AED.
- Are you a doctor?
- Emergency room nurse.
I see. Thank you.
For the family's contact,
please ask the hotel staff.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
What's the patient's name?
It's crazy.
It's got to be my ring.

Great!

I've been winning.
I anticipate the moves.
It's crazy.
It's amazing.
What about you, Sano?
- Are you an SHF too?
- Pardon?

That's the name of our seminar.
That's what it's called?
Seriously?

No, not at all.
Of synchronicity.

Nagi is my wife.

Well,

- Yes.
- Amazing!
- It's crazy.
It's great.
But the other day, she died.
In her sleep.
Who wants a beer?
I'm fine, thanks.
But...
- You loved her, didn't you?
- Sorry?
If you were,
your wife must have been very happy.
Stop it, Sano.
Frankly, you're very rude.
I'm joking,
but I'm not laughing at you.
Nagi wasn't happy.
I was very cowardly...
and selfish.
Where's he going?
- He's going to sing, isn't he?
- I don't know.
Is he?
I've never heard him sing.
If you feel bad,
let me know, I'll stop.
Thank you.
You see the pier
which is near your hotel?
That's where it appears.
What are you talking about?
The ghost.
Some nights, at this time,
a ghostly woman
looks out at the sea from the pier.
Then she disappears.
What?
Hey, stop kicking.
Can you stop, sir?
Stop it, Sano.
Sir!
Stop, I'm telling you.
- Get out.
- Sorry, we're going.
- Get out.
- Sorry.
Come on.
Shit.
Go buy me some water and cigarettes.
What? Cigarettes?
High light Menthols.
You smoke?
Seriously...
- What's the brand again?
- High light Menthol.
You're a pain.
What are you playing at?
You're getting on my nerves.
You got ripped off...
with your shitty seminar.
You line up clichs
and you think you're superior.
Like those two dumb bitches.
Stop it, calm down.
Drop it.
You're a pain.
A real pain.
Get off me.
I'm going to throw up.
Come here.
You're heavy!
You're a pain.
Come over here a bit more.
You really weigh a ton.
Ouch.
Shut up.
I've had enough.
Don't turn your back on me.
Why?
Because...
Nagi was sleeping like that
when she died.
Does Nagi still believe
she's sleeping?
Miyata...
Miyata!
Have you seen my ring?
I threw it away.
Keep in touch.
- Hello?
- Reception.
- Is this Miss Nagi Sano?
- Yes.
Miss Niiyama is on the line.
May I put her through?
- Yes, please.
- Thank you very much.
- Hello, Nagi.
- Eri! Where are you?
Lose your cellphone again?
Yes, sorry.
I left it at home.
- Put it around your neck!
- Yeah.
Where are you now?
My grandmother
fainted this morning.
I'm about to go to the hospital.
I don't think
I can meet you at the hotel.
Maybe it's better if we cancel
the last 2 nights?
Yes, you're right.
I'm really sorry.
Keep me posted, OK?
What time suits you?
Is 4 o'clock OK?
Yes, that's fine.
- I'll give you my number.
- Yes.
Hold on.
- OK.
- So... 090...
Excuse me.
- Do you have a local map?
- Yes.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you very much.
Have a nice walk.
Hey, man!
You have to sign.
Everything OK?
Yes, fine.
- Is that your lunch?
- Yes.
Thank you very much.
I bought it on the train,
but I didn't eat it.
- May I?
- Yes.
Thanks. I like it a lot.
Where are you from?
I live here.
Really?
I'm Vietnamese.
- I've been to Hanoi.
- Have you?
Where I was born...
- Ho Chi Minh.
- Oh, I know it.
Vietnam, sad.
Vietnam, over there?
Over there?
Oh, no.
There!
Oh, there!
So, Hawaii's that way!
When I can't sleep,
I go there and look at the sea.
It's nice.
Travel?
- Travel?
- Ah, travel! Yes, I do.
Very well-known here,
is taking the boat.
Sounds fun.
Lots of couples.
Lots of couples!
Alright.
Impressive,
the girl with the cellphone.
Yes, it was.
- Are you by yourself?
- Yes.
I was supposed to come with a friend
I'm doing a fanzine with.
It's a magazine with text
and illustrations.
- Do you see?
- Pretty much.
But she couldn't come
at the last minute.
- Oh, dear.
- Right.
- My name is Sano.
- No way!
My name's Sano too!
Nagi Sano!
That's crazy!
It's a pretty common name.
Yes, it is.
But even so!
- That's a first.
- Same here.
- What's up?
- This is Miyata.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
In the beginning, the hot springs
were in the sea.
Then they migrated inland,
the sea cooled,
and humans were able to bathe
and live healthy lives.
Hence the name Atami,
"the warm sea".
- Miyata, what do you do for a living?
- I'm a nurse.
But in my spare time,
I write novels.
That's why you know
this kind of story!
Maybe, but writing is just a hobby.
He works in recycling
and restoration.
You want to open
a restaurant, right?
Since I can't make a living
from photography, I also have a job.
What kind of job?
- I work in a thrift shop.
- Where?
I live in Fukuoka.
But I went to university in Tokyo.
You come from far away.
We live in Tokyo.
- That's weird.
- What?
Didn't I order a poke bowl?
Because it has no taste.
I must admit
I thought the same thing...
1,800 yen for this?
Mine's really good.
Best I've ever eaten.
You made the right choice.
Taste mine.
Seriously?
I'll take it from his bowl.
Go ahead, enjoy!
You must be kidding, it looks great.
I love it!
It's not that...
It's not bad, it's just tasteless.
It isn't!
And the spoon is weird.
Yes, it is!
It's too big,
hard to eat with.
- Stop criticizing.
- But it's true.
It pulls at the sides of the mouth,
it's not practical.
- You've got a small spoon.
- Is it?
Oh, yeah, how come?
The big one's special poke.
Sorry for the wait.
- Go on, tell her.
- You tell her.
- Please, stand here.
- Thank you.
- Sano wanted...
- Miyata has something to tell you.
Go on, Miyata, we're listening.
Nagi, what are you doing tonight?
Nothing special.
Want to go clubbing?
Is there a club here?
Apparently. How about it?
Yes, I'm tempted.
It'll be fun.
Wait, what time is it?
- Just after 4.
- 4?
I have to call my friend.
I'm going back to the hotel.
Really?
- Sorry, I'm off!
- Wait!
Meet at the station
in an hour.
In an hour at the station, sure!
Sorry! See you later!
- Be careful!
- Yes!
Look out...
See you later!
Stand over there.
OK?
You're good to go!
OK, thanks.
Thanks, An.
Sorry to have bothered you.
You can go.
The rehearsal's over.
Hey!
- Do you work here?
- Do you sleep here?
Yes.
- Did you hear me?
- Yes.
- What?
- I'm ashamed of my voice.
- What's the title?
- Beyond the Sea.
Beyond the Sea. I love it.
I love it too.
Are you working now?
I've got to get back.
- See you soon.
- OK, all the best.
- Sorry I'm late.
- No worries.
Thanks a lot.
- You been waiting?
- No, we just got here.
Don't worry.
- Right on time.
- Phew.
- Well, the hotel is nearby.
- That's true.
- It's hot.
- Yeah.
But it's sunny.
You must wait
for the treatment to take effect.
I forgot my camera.
- At the hotel?
- Yes.
- Shall we go back?
- No.
Never mind.
I'm just tired
of always forgetting everything.
I understand.
Go on, I'll catch you up.
- Sure?
- Yes, don't worry.
OK.
Still there?
- Is everything OK?
- Yes.
I think we can wait a little longer.
Look!
The Return of the Living Dead!
Do you like horror movies
and zombies?
Yes, I love them.
George A. Romero, Sam Raimi...
And Carpenter?
Yeah.
But I prefer Rob Zombie's
Halloween.
I don't know it.
You don't know
what you're missing!
It's just your size.
I found it on the ground.
It's awkward.
It doesn't stink.
It's cool. How much is it?
No price tag.
It suits you.
- Seriously?
- Yeah, really.
Excuse me!
- It was on the ground.
- Thank you.
Are you selling it?
- Do you want it?
- Yes.
That'll be...
- 1,000 yen.
- I'll take it.
- Here.
- Thank you.
So cheap!
He didn't seem to understand.
- Wow, it really suits you!
- Does it?
Yes, in fact, I'll give it to you.
- Really?
- Yes.
It was cheap
and looks better on you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you have a lighter?
I lost mine.
- You lose your stuff a lot.
- Yes!
All the time!
I wonder what happens
to all the stuff I lose.
Your cigarette's bent.
Miyata is having fun.
He's giving it his all.
Why didn't your friend come?
- She lost her grandma.
- Oh, no.
How's she doing?
She was crying,
but her grandma
had a good life.
What's this?
- A toy.
- A toy?
- How much?
- 300 yen.
- Expensive!
- No.
Are you sure?
What's it called?
- I don't know.
- But you bought it.
- Isn't it cute?
- Yes, it really is.
He's holding her shoulder.
Look, a lighter!
I found a lighter.
It works.
I'll keep it.
- Have you heard from Miyata?
- No.
But he must have scored
with the girl.
You know, Miyata is
always messing around.
But right now,
it's hard for him.
His dad's been diagnosed
with early onset Alzheimer's.
It's down to him and his kid sister.
He looks carefree, but it's hard.
I see.
It's cool he's having fun.
Yeah.
Especially as he's newly single.
Is he?
He should enjoy it!
Actually, I'm hungry.
- You are?
- Yes.
Let's buy something.
- What do you want to eat?
- Just a snack.
- Come on, let's have a snack.
- Great.
- This will be great.
- Yeah.
It smells so good!
Reminds me of high school.
It's been 3 minutes.
Really?
- Let's eat.
- Yes.
Enjoy!
It's so good.
So good!
The best.
- I want to try yours.
- Me too.
Curry taste!
So good.
It's so good!
Like 2 days ago.
Eating instant noodles, can be enough
to make me super happy forever.
- Which floor?
- 8th.
- Me too.
- Seriously?
This is my room.
- 819.
- Yes.
It's tomorrow, August 19.
Oh, but... It's my birthday.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes.
- Really? And you forgot?
- Yes, completely.
My friend must've booked it
on purpose.
Happy birthday.
Thank you very much.
Let's celebrate tomorrow.
Are you sure?
- But I'm going back tomorrow.
- So am I.
But we can meet up first.
Thanks for the cap.
It's my birthday present.
That's OK.
Can I take your number?
I left my cellphone at home.
So...
I see. Good night, then.
Can you wait for me for 2 minutes?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Would you like to have
breakfast together?
Yes.
- Is 8 o'clock OK?
- Yes, that's fine.
Goodnight.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Have you found a red cap?
A cap?
Where did you lose it?
I'm not sure.
What does it look like?
- It's a very plain red cap.
- Wait a moment.
Sorry, but nothing like that
has been handed in.
May I have
your room number and name?
- 819. Nagi Sano.
- Thank you.
If we find it,
we'll call you
at the number shown here.
However, Miss Sano,
you're past your check-out time.
- What time is it?
- 11 o'clock.
- Thank you very much, sorry.
- Miss!
What's the matter?
My friend has already left.
I'll just clear the room.
Is everything OK?
Have you seen a red cap?
A cap, for the head.
I haven't seen it.
Never mind.
- Go ahead, you can start.
- Thank you.
- Need any help?
- No, I'm good.
Can I take a picture of you?
What do you want to do in Japan?
- Do you have a dream?
- No.
I work, I get money.
That's all.
And...
if you find my cap,
will you keep it for me?
OK, I will.
My red cap.
Please, keep it.
You can wear it,
it'll look great on you.
One day,
I'll come back here.
- We'll meet again.
- Yes. We'll meet again.
Take care.
See you.
Where were you?
I lost the cap.
I'm sorry.
- Were you looking for it?
- Yes.
I got scared.
I thought you didn't want me anymore.
What are you doing now?
I'll keep looking.
Let's look together.
That way?
- I'm so sorry.
- No worries.
I'm so relieved.
- You're not mad at me.
- No!
But you lost the cap.
Don't worry, we'll find it.
- 'Night, Mr Sait.
- Goodnight.
- Your last day?
- Yes.
- See you, then.
- Take care.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
Have you heard from Ha?
Not recently.
I don't know where she is.
I hope she's OK.
We were lucky.
Everybody's nice here.
Where Ha worked was horrible.
The employees were mistreated.
Poor Ha!
I'd love to see her again.
I wonder where she is.
Wanna grab a bite to eat?
Wherever you like.
Sushi or Korean barbecue.
I'm easy.
Me too.
- Barbecue, then.
- OK.
Let's do that.
Goodnight.
'Night.
Thanks for everything.
Thank you very much
for these 5 years with you, sir.
You've done a great job.
Thanks to all of you.
When you come back to Japan,
get in touch.
We will.
Goodbye.
Take good care of yourselves.
- You too. See you soon.
- See you soon.
Thanks again for everything.
See you!
See you soon, sir.
I'll catch up with you.
- OK, see you later.
- See you later.
