STREET INTERVIEW - ANNOYING BOSSES! Today, we're here in Shibuya.
Our topic is "annoying bosses.
" Let's get to it! How about you, lady with the yellow fur? What kind of work do you do? I'm an office worker.
You have an annoying boss, right? Well, yeah.
What kind? Well, there's one who unloads work on me just before it's time to leave for the day.
That does happen, doesn't it? It's like, "You could have asked me earlier!" I see! Thanks for taking the time to And there's one who makes fun of me just because I'm a woman, even though he bends over backwards for the girl who flatters him.
And he works up a sweat from goofing off! You seem to have a lot of complaints.
Thank you very I hope your ears are burning! You lazy male chauvinist Waste of flesh! RAGE Actually, I was thinking I might start a business here in Japan.
An imported goods store.
You want in, Retsuko? Wow An imported goods store.
It sounds like a dream! It's too alluring! What's this? Retsuko, did something good happen? Nothing in particular.
Really? It's nothing.
Really? I can see a long, dark tunnel through the back of your eyes.
The meaning behind that smile is a release from darkness, freedom.
How is it that she can accurately read my mind? This middle-aged woman is a rumor-spreading pro.
If she picks up the scent that I might change jobs, the rumor will spread all over the company.
I can't hide anything from you, Mrs.
Kabae! The truth is, I haven't been able to poop for five days.
-But this morning, it happened.
-You unplugged the long, dark tunnel? That's right! I knew it! That's the face you were making.
That was close.
Oh, Retsuko.
I heard your constipation cleared up.
Good for you.
It's already spreading Also, I saw you on afternoon TV, in an interview about "annoying bosses.
" What are you talking about? There was a mosaic over your face, but it was you, wasn't it? Me, on TV? No way! I haven't even been to Shibuya recently! Shibuya? Did I mention Shibuya? You did, not long ago.
Is that right? She looked just like you.
Apparently so! Now I've done it! I've been far too careless, ever since I met with Puko.
I have to be careful.
Retsuko! Haida, what's wrong? Retsuko! You Is it true you gave birth yesterday? -I heard it was a difficult delivery! -Hey! When have I ever looked pregnant? Fenneko, stop laughing! I don't know where or how the story got twisted, but it was originally a different story, so Is that right? Oh, that was a scare.
I see, now.
So what was the story before it got twisted? I said, stop laughing! Young people have it good.
It looks like you're having fun.
Retsuko a word Here! Here and here and here! This is also wrong! I'm sorry What's wrong? You've been sluggish lately, haven't you? I wonder what it is you're showing up to work for.
My job.
Oh? I thought you were here to play.
That's why you can make this kind of face at work, isn't it? Oh, it truly does look fun.
How nice! To think you get paid for playing! It's true that I'm the one who made mistakes, but Well, it was stupid of me to ask you to do it.
Because all you do is waste time! That wasn't my work to do in the first place, it was yours.
Why am I putting up with this? Retsuko.
Retsuko! Are you listening? If it's that big a problem shouldn't you have done it yourself from the start? Do you know what you're saying? I said it.
There's no going back.
No more being a serious, good girl.
KARAOKE I said it.
I said it! I really said it! I am triumphant! You talked back to your boss? That's great! No It didn't feel very grown up.
No, it's good! Good vibes.
Hey, Puko.
About what you were saying the other day Where are you planning to open the imported goods shop? Oh the shop? That's Oh! Wait.
I'll guess.
Shimokitazawa! It's not Sancha, is it? That would be nice and close to me! Then? There is no shop.
Eh? What I said.
There's no shop.
Sorry! Didn't I tell you? Then how? Internet sales.
I asked an acquaintance to set up a website.
I can't risk unpaid rent right off the bat, can I? All I've got to do is keep the stock at home.
Of course, it would be nice to get a shop in the future.
What's wrong? What about the pay? There won't be much until the business gets rolling.
My monthly rent might be a problem.
Why not move out of your apartment? Your parents live nearby, don't they? Welcome! Oh, dear.
Did something bad happen, Retsuko? I've just learned about the harshness of reality.
Retsuko! Oh, Tsunoda.
Is it true that you're leaving the company? Why? Are you getting married? Are you switching jobs? Going on a journey of self-discovery? Who did you hear that from? From Kabae in Accounting, but Retsuko? Kabae! You could at least show a reaction.
My salary! My monthly fixed costs! What's wrong? Retsuko, calm down! Please don't spread the rumor that I'm quitting.
Certainly, I may be a chatterbox, and my ability to spread rumors is legendary.
But I wouldn't spread a bad rumor like that, which would put you in a bad position.
But Tsunoda said I'm sorry! Tsunoda is the only one I told.
Because you two are good friends, right? No, we're not that close.
I heard it from Komiya.
And I told Tsunoda.
That's all.
That's the truth.
Komiya? Why would Komiya say that? It seems Director Ton wants to have a word with you.
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT A fresh start It's a good sound, isn't it? These days, accounting work is clickety-clacked into software.
But I've never been good with computers.
I'm calculating, with this abacus, how much money this company has invested in your education.
At the same time, I was also doing math in my head.
I weighed my priceless dream against a costly reality, and the numbers were against me.
I'm sorry I can't, after all.
Hey! Don't look so down! I'm sorry.
Come on.
Why are you apologizing? It's OK.
You've got your own way of living.
Hey, do you know why someone irresponsible like me can live on nothing but dreams? Why? It's thanks to reliable people like you working hard and diligently paying taxes, and keeping the economy from tanking, right? Sorry, but I need you to live responsibly, so us blockheads can go where the wind takes us.
OK, today is my treat.
All right! This is quite an amount.
The real question is Recently, you've been acting strange.
I have investigated this using my years of experience.
Komiya! From the following sites A job changing site: "Seriously? Isn't my monthly salary pathetic?" A Q&A site: "How do letters of resignation and retirement differ?" An AMA: "I just turned in my letter of resignation.
Ask me anything!" -Continuing on, a self -Enough.
You can stop there.
You remember those, don't you? You "clinked" on all of those websites on the internet, during overtime.
It's "clicked"! You clicked on them during overtime.
You used a company device to accesic accesserate Your browsing history is easily tracked by the network manager.
You're planning to quit, aren't you? What are you here to do? To raise funds for self-employment? To look for a boyfriend like you're at a singles party? To "clink-clink" on this man and that man? Click! Click! Well, whatever it is You've screwed yourself over.
As of now, I've got a new name for you.
You're "Short-timer" now.
I'm finished! Subtitle translation: John Haguewood
