Migi & Dali (2023) s01e03 Episode Script
Let's Make Friends
1
Our oldest memory starts
underneath a bed, with little light.
Wallpaper with water flea-like patterns.
Traces of our doodles
as we treated the pattern like a maze.
We used to live in a room in some house,
spending our days in hiding with our mom.
DECEMBER 1982
At some point we left there
Hey, Mom.
What are you looking at?
Wow!
Our mother longed for Origon Village.
However
The village took her life.
That's why
We
How about you join the Boy Scouts?
You get to camp in
the great wilderness, go hiking,
and above all, you'll make irreplaceable,
wholesome friends there.
School is still closed
for the spring break.
You may as well
What's wrong, Hitori? You look so glum.
Am I being a bother by being at home?
Of course not. You're staying right here!
That you are. Forever!
We were almost sent into a den of evil.
We got away by the skin of our teeth.
There's no time for this nonsense
when we have to pretend to be one person.
Yeah.
It's time we started looking
for Mom's murderer.
A room with water flea-like
patterned wallpaper.
There should be a clue there.
Yeah. We'll have to investigate
every room in this village.
Guess the chimney
will be our point of entry again
Idiot! Do you want to be cooked alive?
There's no option but to carefully
sneak in through the window.
If only we could ring
the doorbell and waltz right in.
That's way too brazen
I got it!
We have to make ourselves
those things called friends. Got that?
Becoming friends will naturally
lead to us being invited to their home.
-Dali. May I ask something?
-Fire away, Migi.
How exactly do you make friends?
Listen up, Migi.
Fortunately, there are many people
present and there's two of us.
Even a blind squirrel
finds a nut once in a while.
Squeak, squeak.
Mommy screamed
when Daddy laid out the bear skin rug.
"You can spend your days off
by yourself," she said.
Look at these pretty stones.
-You can have them all.
-Don't need 'em.
They'll come in handy when you have to
pile stones by the Sanzu River.
I'm not dying yet!
Someone's desperate to make friends.
Nobody wants to befriend an orphanage kid.
How about you be his friend?
Bird Akiyama.
Stop calling me that.
Why? I mean, you're always entering
the annual Birdman Rally.
Ah, heck. Here he comes.
I'm Hitori Sonoyama. Let's get along!
Tori, as in bird? What a weird name.
Can you fly?
I'm a bird, but a flightless one.
Would you like us to be friends?
Will you?!
On one condition.
You have to walk that tightrope.
Do it without using your hands
and we'll be your friends.
He's actually going for it.
What's going on?
I bet 100 million yen that
he doesn't make it.
I bet a trillion.
You're going to be a laughingstock.
Stop being so reckless
Damn.
That was fast.
Look!
Huh?
Even though he keeps falling
He's back in three seconds?!
Give it a rest already.
How desperate is he to make friends?
Pathetic.
Bird Boy should learn when to quit.
How long is he keeping this up?
Just give up already.
You can't do it.
Give it up already.
Give it up.
Give it up.
Give it up.
-Give it up.
-Hitori!
Don't you ever give up!
Make it to the end!
Take flight!
You promised.
Be my friends!
Dude, you used your hands.
So, anyway
Right?
I will!
Let's be friends, Hitori!
Does that mean I get to go to your house?
Of course!
You can come today! I'll show you my bird!
Sure!
Welcome.
Thank you for inviting me over, Akiyama.
This is my mom's special cherry pie.
Thank you. Let's have it together.
Both my parents are working.
Does that mean your parents aren't?
They're not home right now.
Akiyama, you have a sister? Where is she?
Probably sleeping in her room, I guess?
She may be on break,
but she's being way too lazy.
I have to say, this pie is delicious!
Damn that Dali.
He thinks he gets to have the good parts
just because he was born sooner.
Does being the younger sibling
mean putting my neck on the line?
This is my room.
Oh, sorry. I have to use the restroom.
Sure, go ahead.
What?!
The room on the right has
the patterned wall?!
I'm sure of it.
My right eye knows what it saw.
And the doodles?
That's what we have to find out.
Careful, Migi.
Akiyama's sister is sleeping in there.
Don't wake her.
Yeah.
I'll keep Akiyama busy.
Investigate thoroughly.
Wow, what a lovely room you have.
Thank you.
Of course it's my neck on the line.
It always is.
This does look similar!
As for the doodles None.
They're most likely
This was inspired by
Franz Reichelt's parachute suit,
while this is a flying machine
using Rogallo wings.
As for this
Who knew he had an interest like this.
Ah well, all I have to do
to buy time is listen to him prattle on.
Sorry, it must be dull
with me doing all the talking.
How about a board game?
I think my sister still has it.
Wait! I want to hear the rest.
Tell me more!
I see. You want to become a bird.
This is the first time.
I've never told this to anyone.
Huh? Why not?
The villagers would only laugh if I did.
Well, I won't.
Hitori!
As long as I can buy some time,
I'm all ears for as long as it takes.
I think I can show it to you
There are no doodles.
Looks like this isn't the house.
Bah.
What do you think?
This is just the first one,
so there's room for improvement
Uh Are you turned off, Hitori?
No, you misunderstand! I was thinking
you should turn around
so I can have a full view.
Full view?
Come to think of it,
I haven't had a look at myself.
There's a full length mirror
in my sister's room!
Give me a sec while I have a peep!
I'll have a look at it all.
Your loneliness Your sadness!
Show me everything there is about you!
We learnt something today.
Injuries and making friends
go hand in hand.
And there's no guarantee
that you gain anything from them.
Are you sure?
What I learnt today is that
sweet, sweet pies await
when you put your neck on the line.
Ow.
What the hell are you talking about?
Our objective is to find Mom's murderer
and kill them.
To achieve that,
we must always be level-headed.
Yeah, I know that, Dali.
Welcome, Hitori.
This is my mom's special cherry pie.
Why, thank you.
The minute my grandson
came back from the Boy Scouts,
he insisted on inviting you over.
Aren't you happy to make a friend, Maruta?
Oh yes, Mommy. I'm so happy.
He conveniently did us a favor
by calling us over.
On the other hand,
this doesn't feel right.
He may be up to something.
That rodent gives me a bad impression.
-We must be cautious.
-Yeah.
By the way,
this time it's my turn
to hang out with Maruta.
Very well. Just be sure
to keep your emotions in check.
Always remain calm. Got that?
Wow.
What a nice room. It's full of toys!
No touching.
You'll get your germs on it.
Don't worry, I won't.
Wear these gloves.
Good. I'll leave this to you, Migi.
Yay, I'm first!
Reset time.
Bear with it.
Don't mind if I
We must always be level-headed.
Isn't that right, Dali?
That reminds me.
Aren't you from an orphanage?
Can you even play games there?
Well, we didn't have
game consoles like this.
-We played with whatever was at hand.
-At hand?
For instance,
we played Rock-Paper-Scissors
while whacking and guarding with these.
That sounds fun. Let's do that.
I saw no water flea-like wallpaper.
This house isn't the one.
Whack or guard.
-Rock, paper
-Hold it.
I'm new to this.
You expect me to play without a handicap?
I'll quickly leave with Migi,
return to our base and rethink our plan.
Whack or guard. Rock, paper, scissors!
Sounds like they're having fun.
Whack or guard. Rock, paper, scissors!
Too slow.
How many times must I tell you?
Make better use of your left hand,
since your right is tied up.
You're such a dim-witted dummy.
You should start over
from your mommy's tummy.
Oh right, you don't have a real mommy.
Okay. One more round.
No running away.
I'm over here.
Let's have that other round.
Now we're talking.
I won't let you go.
Not when I've found
my ideal toy, at long last!
Hey, Hitori.
How about we make it so the loser
has to become the winner's lackey?
Sure.
Yes!
Here we go.
Whack or guard. Rock, paper
With this, you'll be my eternal
Scissors!
Huh? Wait a
Stop!
Stop!
Migi Why?
Dali Did you forget?
We must always be level-headed.
Yup. See you later at Boy Scouts.
I-I eagerly look forward to
when we meet again, my lord
Oh, stop it. There's no need to
play master and servant.
No one's above or below the other.
It's only a matter of telling
your right from your left.
Gosh, that's right.
I couldn't believe it.
That Isozaki. The whole family
washes their clothes separately.
There's a new type of old lady.
Oh? Back already?
I'm home. Who is that lady?
My, so you're Hitori!
This is our housekeeper, Mitsuyama.
Call me Micchan.
