A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e10 Episode Script

Don't treat me like your kid sister.

1
Oh, are you going out, Erika-chan?
Yeah.
It's Mother's Day.
I'm going to go eat with Mom.
See you later.
Bye.
Mother's Day?
Yeah.
I wanna get Mom a gift.
Come shopping with me.
I'm not letting you trick me!
I bet you've set up a trap
at the door or something.
You actually remember what
happened in elementary school?
That's not it.
Why the sudden change of heart, then?
Have you ever done anything
like this for Mom?
Well, I mean, y'know
I caused her trouble,
running away from home and all.
It's the least I can do.
You're old enough to appreciate
your parents now, huh?
So annoying.
Who do you think you are?
Your great big brother is
giving you valuable advi—
Okay, fine, I get it!
I said too much!
I didn't hear you.
I'm sorry, Sachi-sama!
Come with me, then?
Yes, ma'am.
This way, Onii.
Chill out a little.
It's got four floors.
It's so big.
Oh, look at those cute clothes!
Come to think of it, when's the
last time I went out with Sachi?
Onii-chan, let's go to the park.
No.
There's a new ice cream
shop near the station.
Go by yourself.
Onii, I'm going to the batting center.
Go ahead.
Wait
Is this actually the first time?
Hey, Sachi
Sachi?
Hey, are you here by yourself?
Where're you from?
You're so cute.
Er, um
What is she doing?
Hey, Sachi!
Let's go.
Aw, man, she has a boyfriend?
Damn.
They said "boyfriend."
Don't go wandering around.
You'll get lost.
You're going to get lost,
with you spacing out all the time.
Show your mother some gratitude
Mother's Day
Event
Look, it's a special Mother's Day pop-up.
Let's check it out.
Okay.
Seriously, though
That girl's so cute.
Is that her boyfriend?
They must be siblings.
I dunno
Because we don't look alike, right?
Well, yeah.
We aren't blood relatives.
I hope Mom appreciates it, huh?
Yeah.
Mother's Day Event
Designer T-shirts
Same Day Print
So what are you going to get Mom?
I haven't decided.
You left home without a plan?
I-I was going to decide with you.
She's your mom, too, right?
Well, yeah.
I know!
The best gift for Mother's Day is those, right?
"Those"?
Carnations.
Crap, I forgot to water it!
She won't know what to do with it.
She's not really the flower
type to begin with.
How about
Sweets!
I don't have time to sit down and eat.
Besides, I hate sweet stuff.
Why would we get her something she hates?
In that case
Fancy clothes.
It's bargain day today!
Time to hit up another shop!
It's important to choose clothes
that are appropriate for the wearer.
Yeah
Iunno.
We've looked at just about everything.
I still have no idea what to get her.
Mom's so wed to her work.
I don't know if there's anything
she'd appreciate getting.
Yeah
I've never heard her mention anything.
Actually, one time,
she was super happy when the ice pop
I was eating had a winning stick.
Yes!
I remember that.
Also, I think it was the time I
got first place in the marathon
Right, you did.
That's my girl!
Umino
You're amazing, Sachi!
Although the time I had the highest test
score in my grade, they were creeped out.
C-Cool
That's, uh, something.
It's so cool that, like Yeah.
I can't think of anything in particular.
I've never even seen Mom
happy about receiving something.
Aside from that
There was that drawing you made
that she hung up like a treasure.
That was your drawing.
What? No way.
That was definitely yours.
Which drawing?
The one of Mom looking angry.
No, that was yours.
The one with the unrecognizably
weird smile, right?
Wait
Did she have two on the wall?
She did! Remember?
Mom
Thank
you
Nagi
Thank you
Sachi age 6
The ones with the aprons!
That gets me pumped up for work!
Aprons
That's it!
I saw one at a shop earlier.
Good job, Sachi.
You're so observant.
That's my sister.
Let's go.
What the hell?
You piss me off so much.
Don't treat me like your kid sister.
Did you say something?
Nothing.
Umino-tei Diner
Hurry up.
Wait, something's stuck.
Is someone there?
Shoot, run!
Hey!
Mom
Thank you for everything you do
From Sachi
Likewise.
Please take care of your health.
Nagi
Damn, I heard some noise outside,
so I thought, "Burglars!"
But then I found this in the mail slot.
A Mother's Day present!
Those kids have really grown up.
Why are you the one crying, Yohei-kun?
Because they got me one, too!
Damn it, going and wasting money
Umino-tei
All right, let's get this reno'd shop opened!
My, how it suits you!
I see.
I'm glad I got to hear how you're doing.
Good.
What are the other siblings like together?
Well
Hey, wait for me!
Those two are so cute together, it might
be better if he marries her instead.
I see.
Sounds like she's made it a
good Mother's Day for you.
She did.
I never would have thought she'd
invite me to a bath house.
A bath house, huh?
Nagi-kun's side must be rubbing off on her.
I think so.
She seems to be enjoying
her life over there, too.
She must be envious of
Nagi-kun and Sachi-chan.
Thanks for telling me how Erika's doing.
Yeah. Bye.
That makes me want to see her again.
Whoa, what is this?!
It actually worked!
All I did was pour hot water
on it like Sachi-chan told me.
Holy
Whoever invented this is a genius!
Time to eat!
Dad
New Message
Nagi-kun!
We're going!
Going? Where?
It's urgent!
Hurry!
Wait! I have to study!
What's so urgent?
Just come with me.
Hey
Could you at least tell me where we're going?
I have to study.
Okay
Let's do this one.
Seems like something you'd like, too.
"Okay" what?

This book is
all you need!
Ma'am, these are the two I can recommend.
'Scuse me?
These are both excellent,
highly-curated reference books
Blah Blah Blah
that teach you everything you need to
know in the second-year curriculum.
You may wish to choose either,
but personally, I would request
that you consider buying both.
What do you say?
I don't need either.
What?! How come?!
The current top student at Megurogawa Academy
is recommending it with his utmost confidence!
Master this book, and even
you could make it to the top!
It's a little thick,
but I ask kindly that you abandon your
preconceived notions and make a purchase!
If you don't use it, I'll take it!
Now you're making me want it.
Right?!
I can't, though
I'm poor.
Listen, you
Are you dissing the poor?
I'm not.
I don't have money.

What are you even saying?
Bicycles and
Pedestrians Only
To be exact, I didn't
bring my phone or cards.
Why not?!
They'll know where I am from
my usage logs and GPS data.
I don't know what you're talking about
But don't count on me.
I didn't bring mine, either.
What? Really?
Who's the one who dragged me
out of the house in a hurry?!
Bicycles and
Pedestrians Only
There's nothing we can do, then, is there?
So, what's your urgent business?
It's not really urgent
I just didn't want to be at home.
You didn't want to be at home?
Dad's coming.
I don't want to see him.
I'm home.
Oh.
Burglar!
Burglar!
Burglar! Burglar!
Wait, hold on
Oh, jeez
Burglar! Burglar!
I'm sorry. I came home and
I saw a stranger, so
I wouldn't have thought you
were Erika-chan's father.
Don't worry about it.
Sorry for surprising you.
I heard you looked just like Erika,
but I'm still surprised to see you really do.
Onii
Have you seen Erika-chan?
Onii's away from his phone again.
Where have they gone?
Did they go to the convenience
store or something?
I'm sure they'll be right back.
Hmm
I'm not so sure about that.
Sachi-chan, could you give
me a bit of your time?
You don't want to see him?
Why not?
I mean
He's technically my dad, too, so
Remember how I said Dad just
does things without asking me?
Same thing today.
He's probably coming to take me home.
Right
You left home saying you
wanted to become independent.
Yeah.
Can't really say you're independent
if you're blown away because
you made some cup noodles, though.
Sh-Shush!
It was the first time I'd ever made them.
Of course I was amazed.
So, what now?
You don't have your wallet or your
phone, and you can't go home.
You can't stay here forever, though.
I know.
I can't avoid him for the rest of my life.
I keep saying "someday,"
but I'm really just running away.
This is my opportunity to confront him.
Wanna go home?
What's the matter?
Weren't the cup noodles your
first step to independence?
Umino Family Wisdom:
Always finish what you've started.
Let's go.
Go? Go where?
Don't underestimate the poor.
We have our own ways of
killing time without money.
If we're doing this,
we're taking it all the way!
Yum.
It's melting in my mouth.
This is my first time having foie gras.
You've got refined taste
for a middle schooler, huh?
Please don't treat me like a child.
Believe it or not, I'm actually a foodie.
I'm glad I get to treat you, then.
Are you sure, though?
This place looks really expensive.
You told me all about Erika's
and Nagi-kun's life together.
It's to thank you.
I'll take you up on it, then.
I didn't expect the boss to show up here
That girl's in middle school, isn't she?
No way
So
How do Nagi-kun and Erika look
together from your perspective?
Well?
Let me think
Their personalities are exact opposites.
They're always fighting
over the smallest things.
But
Damn, this is so fun!
Come on, one more time!
No, wait, this is scarier than I thought.
I go a lot faster than I did as a kid.
Go, Nagi-kun!
W-Wait—
That's actually the kind of thing that
makes them seem really compatible.
I see.
It's reassuring to hear their sister say that.
You don't seem too happy about it, though.
Th-That's not true.
Oh, it's not?
Thank you for dinner today.
I had fun, and it was delicious.
Sure.
Here, for you.
This is from that shop that
always has a long line!
They have a branch in our hotel.
Seriously?! Oh, man!
I hope you'll report to me
about those two again.
In secret, of course.
Sure! You can count on me!
Okay, see you.
Goodnight.
Thanks.
I'll be right back.
Boss?
I thought you had the day off.
Yeah, I just came to pick something up.
Uh-huh.
You seem happy today.
Yeah, you could say that.
Do you know about cuckoo eggs?
Sir?
