A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e02 Episode Script
I Won't Marry You
1
What?!
Amano-san's coming here?!
That's right.
You two are going to get to
know each other a lot better.
You're engaged, after all.
I won't accept our engagement.
What, are you getting rebellious on me now?
Bring it on, Nagi!
Or, what, is there a reason
you don't want to get engaged?
W-Well
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Segawa Hiro!
I'm taking you down in the next exam!
Um
Who were you again?
Not really.
Good.
Well, Dad and I have to get to work now.
Be sure to keep Erika-chan
company when she gets here.
No, I'm going to be busy studying for exams.
You were the one who made the decision.
I'm not getting involved.
Except I wasn't.
Erika-chan's the one who said
she wanted to come visit.
Well, good luck.
Have fun.
She wants to come here?
Too bad you're not the one
I'm supposed to marry, Nagi-kun.
Th-That's what this is about?!
Damn it, Amano-san was fully
intent on marrying me!
So did she only punch me because
she was trying to hide her feelings?
I really should have known.
The sooner the better, then.
Today's my chance to be alone with her.
I'm going to respectfully,
wholeheartedly turn her down.
I'll tell her that I'm already
fully committed to someone.
What're you up to?
I heard you guys.
Erika-chan, was it?
She's actually coming?
Yeah, she is.
Yeah I don't know about that.
About what?
I mean, she's a princess from
a prestigious girls' school,
and she's famous on social media.
And she's the daughter of a hotel tycoon.
Does she really think she's going to
feel at home with such a poor family?
Don't say that.
She's your actual older sister.
Don't.
I don't want to hear about it.
You were the one who brought it up!
I don't care, all right?
What's gotten into Sachi?
There.
That should do it.
Where is she, anyway?
She's already over an hour late.
She's not lost or anything, is she?
You're late.
Huh? What are you even doing out here?
What? I've been waiting the entire time.
You wouldn't come out!
So ring the bell or call or something!
Huh? That's a thing?
Are you alone?
Everyone else is at work.
Sachi Your sister's
helping them, too, I think.
Okay.
Anyway, come in.
Th-Thanks for having me.
Of course she's nervous, I guess.
This is Amano-san's marriage
partner's place, after all.
Find yourself a place to sit down.
R-Right.
There?!
Huh?
I meant on the floor! The floor!
Huh?
You sit on the floor?
Were you going to hang out standing?
That's not what I mean.
And why do you still have your shoes on?!
How nervous can you be?
Here.
Thanks.
I probably shouldn't bring up calling off
the engagement right from the start.
I need to wait for the
right time to tell her.
Hey
I actually came here because I
wanted to ask you for a favor.
A favor?
I want you to show me around the house.
Oh, sure, go take a look around.
Where?
Where? It's here.
This place isn't a tool shed?!
It's my home.
Stop.
I hate those kinds of lies.
And I hate rude people!
Fine, show me around, then.
This is the kitchen.
The toilet.
The bathroom.
I've never seen one like this.
It's like a TV drama set!
It's where I actually live.
And this is me and my sister's room.
Y-You mean you sleep and
study here and stuff?
All you have between you is a curtain?
You get no privacy.
Sachi wrecked the paper
wall when we had a fight.
She did, huh?
I have a good idea of what
your place is like now.
Thanks.
Yeah.
What's up with her?
She's been acting weird.
Is she that disappointed by my place?
Now's my chance, though.
S-So
Hey,
I've been meaning to ask
It's huge!
The door's this way.
What even is this?
Is this a house?
I also have three vacation homes in Japan.
And three overseas.
Although I'm usually here.
This is the kitchen.
Four rooms with toilets.
A bathroom on every floor.
This is the living room.
That whole area's the yard.
Golf
Tennis court
Pool
That's the doghouse.
It's a whole house!
Come here, Shishimaru.
There, there. Were you lonely?
I see. No wonder.
Amano-san wasn't being weird
because she was nervous.
She was just shocked.
I guess I can't blame her, though.
Ma'am, I've brought you some tea.
Leave it there, please.
If we hadn't been swapped as babies,
Amano-san would be living in my house
And I'd be living in this giant mansion.
I can't live in this doghouse!
I'm rich, losers!
"I'm rich, losers"? What?!
My imagination can't even keep up.
This goes beyond a matter of my personally
not being available to marry her.
We're in no position to
get married to begin with.
We don't even live in the same world.
Hey, Amano-san
I'm not going to marry you.
I had a bad feeling.
You've been acting really
restless the whole time.
I thought you might propose or something.
Why would I?!
Are you sure?
I said this before, but I really don't know
about our parents setting us up
in this day and age.
I want to choose who I marry myself.
She didn't come over to see me?!
Is something wrong?
Th-Then why did you come over to my place?
To talk to your parents.
My parents?
But then I come over,
and they're at work.
That's why I was killing time.
My parents run a restaurant.
They don't get home until midnight.
What?
Take me to their restaurant, then.
Wh-Why?
Because
I want to give them a piece of my mind.
Monshiro-cho Shopping District
Umino-tei Diner
Oh, welcome!
Hey, you came to say hi.
Hello.
Amano-san insisted on seeing the restaurant.
Why are you in your uniform?
Why does it matter?
Why don't you have something
to eat, since you're here?
I will.
I never knew the first floor
of your house was a restaurant.
I-I guess you'd call it a diner
for the common folk.
I see.
She's really taking a good look around.
I had a feeling, but now I'm
sure it's what she's doing.
She's assessing the situation.
She's waiting for the moment to take action.
I'm not getting married.
A little late for that, don'tcha think?
Shut it!
Shut up, you rotten parents!
No one asked you for any of this!
Do you think kids don't have any rights?
I'm going to rebel, even if that
means beating the crap out of you!
You wanna go, you punk-ass bitch?!
You'd be dead if you weren't
mooching off your parents.
I'll teach you not to run
your mouth ever again!
Let's take this outside, asshole!
I'm not taking orders from you!
Shut your yap, you brat!
No, you!
It could happen, though
I mean, she threw a punch at me, her fiancé.
Nagi-kun.
Nagi-kun.
Nagi-kun! Hey!
Yes'm!
I need to go the bathroom.
Right over there, ma'am.
Anyway, I need to stop Amano-san
if she's ever about to hit them.
I know, right?
Yeah, I know!
I know.
I'm back.
Yuh.
Well, well, haven't we a beauty here today?
Are you a celebrity?
She really is!
This girl is Nagi's fiancée.
Wow.
They're so young. In this century?
Good going, Nagi-kun.
This calls for a celebration!
Here's to the Uminos' future!
Cheers!
Actually
You've been here all along, Sachi?!
Please do something about this situation!
Here you are.
You'll love our special ginger pork.
I hope you enjoy it, you two.
She looks like she's about to say,
"You're actually going to make me eat this?"
Of course, right?
What rich person could eat
this skinny, greasy meat?
Thank you.
The big moment!
Brace yourselves!
She's so angry, she swallowed it whole!
It's delicious.
Yes!
There'll always be plenty for you.
Hey, look at this.
Erika-chan looks just like her kid sister
Sachi from the side, don't you think?
You're too close!
Get your face away from her!
You're right.
The bridge of her nose is exactly the same.
And you're so fair-skinned.
You're sisters after all, huh?
And her hair feels just like mine.
And she got her long eyelashes from me.
They're manhandling a bomb!
And it's already counting down, isn't it?
I know, Erika-chan!
Why don't you stay over tonight?
Good idea, good idea!
It's getting late, anyway.
We can take a bath together.
And let's get up early
and go fishing together!
Stop it, stop it!
You can't make a princess
sleep in a doghouse!
She'd rather be taking a fancy bath,
and she doesn't go out to catch wild animals!
Crap! Crap!
Speaking of, where's Sachi?
Sachi!
Three
Get over here!
Say hi to your sister!
Two
Did she leave?
One.
Kaboom!
I'm going home.
Did we do something to upset her?
Hold on!
Wait up, Amano-san!
What's gotten into you?
Didn't you want to say
something to my parents?
I couldn't tell them
I couldn't tell them
that I wanted to get closer to them.
Why couldn't I just say it?
My real mom and dad were so welcoming.
They were so kind to me.
I didn't know what to do.
What if they didn't like me?
What if I bothered them?
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't even say it.
You don't need to tell them
you want to get close.
My parents don't care
about that kind of stuff.
You don't have to be so
considerate with them.
They're really dense,
and they're former delinquents.
So let's go home together.
Umino-tei Diner
Thank you for your hospitality today.
You really are welcome to
spend the night, you know.
No, my parents will be worried.
But it's dark outside.
I'll have Nagi-kun walk
me to the main streets.
My!
You do that!
Take care, then!
Come back soon.
The chopsticks Erika-chan was using.
Onee-chan
So that's my sister, huh?
Family Use
Thanks for everything.
I had fun today.
I was able to get closer with them, too.
Yeah.
By the way, Nagi-kun
There's something you want
to tell me, isn't there?
Wh-Why?
Well, if you weren't going to propose,
why were you acting so
anxious the whole time?
You're imagining things.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Why has it gotten harder to tell her?
Hey, Erika.
Dad?!
You came all the way here to pick me up?
How was Nagi-kun's place?
It was really fun!
And the ginger pork was good.
Glad to hear it.
Thank you, too, Nagi-kun.
Are things going well between you two?
Huh?
Your relationship, I mean.
Er
No, Dad, it's not like that.
That whole thing about us dating
was kind of a white lie.
Yeah, I know.
You aren't fooling your dad.
But you could also say that your
relationship is just getting started.
Uh-huh
Why don't you two hop in?
Well, here we are.
Where are we?
Have a look at the doorplate.
Like it?
Huh?
What is this?
I'm having the two of you live
here for the next two weeks.
Take good care of my daughter, Nagi-kun.
What?!
What?!
Amano-san's coming here?!
That's right.
You two are going to get to
know each other a lot better.
You're engaged, after all.
I won't accept our engagement.
What, are you getting rebellious on me now?
Bring it on, Nagi!
Or, what, is there a reason
