Aggretsuko (2018) s01e10 Episode Script
The Dream Ends
KARAOKE The Hakone Mountains are the steepest Even Hangu Pass can't compare They're ancient and tall With a bottomless Let's stop.
Oh, don't stop! Now that Retsuko is not around, we have no choice but to sing.
We don't have to sing.
I don't even know this song.
But 'Hakone Mountains' is a classic! Didn't you learn it at school? Back in my day, we didn't need to.
Let's go grab some food.
You are right.
How about the place with the quiche? You really like it there, don't you? Well, it's so yummy! REQUEST RECEIVED RAGE I'm happy now.
The way he eats is messy but it's cute and childlike, so I'm happy.
Even the way he sniffs his fingernails in public is quirky, so I'm happy! Just walking together with my nice boyfriend I feel truly blessed.
Here! And here! And here! What do we have here? It's all wrong! Way too many mistakes! How can I trust you to do it right? I'm so sorry I'll fix it.
You've been acting strange lately.
You used to be better at this.
Did something happen? I'll fix it.
TEA ROOM -Hey, Fenneko.
-What? Is Retsuko seeing someone? What are you talking about? Don't play dumb It's obvious.
You must know something, right? I think It's probably Resasuke from Sales.
I didn't see it coming.
Sorry Why are you apologizing? I want to punch him.
Look at this! I've lost three kilos already! I didn't even know.
It means that yoga is working.
You're not losing weight.
You're being worn out.
Here's what I think.
You're only pretending to be a happy girlfriend.
It's the same thing at work - pretending to be a good employee.
That's not the real you.
Maybe it is.
There's nothing wrong with pretending.
Come on, Washimi! Sometimes you have to act in a relationship.
That's how you can make each other happy.
But only if you and your boyfriend have the capacity to keep up the act.
Do you? Welcome.
Please take your time and look around! That's cute! Do you like it? -It's quite cute, isn't it? -Yeah.
How about this one? -Is this one cuter? -Yeah.
-I wonder if the first one is better.
-Yeah.
Actually, both are pretty bland.
Yeah.
Are we leaving? Just going to the restroom.
OK.
It hurts RAGE After I count to ten, I'll be a happy girlfriend.
After I count to ten, I'll be a happy girlfriend.
After I count to ten, I'll be a happy girlfriend.
BAR Damn it! I'm pathetic.
Damn! Why now, of all times? Director Ton! What should we do? You have golf tomorrow Idiot! Cancel it! The end of the quarter is fast approaching, but we have staff shortages.
Haida is out! He has developed pneumonia and has been admitted to hospital.
What a slacker! Then there's Tsubone.
She tried to open one of her jars at home.
She fractured her wrist and is out of action! We should ban her jars.
And Kabae - she was accused of spying and was detained by the authorities! Who would have thought? To make up for their absence, knuckle down and work as a team.
Actually We're four workers down.
You're no good to us in this state.
Make tea and keep out of the way! Next! Next! Next! Keep them coming! That's some crazy speed.
We've got computers, but he's still faster than us.
Hey, Fenneko! Check these invoices again! I can't approve them! Yes! -The analog generation sure is something! -Go back to square one! I'll make some tea.
TEA ROOM I want a cup of coffee.
Of course, I'll make you some.
No, I'll make it myself.
I'm sorry that I can't help out during this busy time.
No mistakes, down to the last yen.
Accurately counting the money that comes in and goes out - that's what accounting is.
Once someone messes up, they keep doing it.
The more mistakes they make, the more the company and its people suffer.
How long will you keep messing up? If you keep giving out more than you get back in return, there won't be anything left in the end.
Do you understand? I think so He's not a bad person I wouldn't know.
I know you hate long lectures from your shitty boss.
Please give me something to do! Come on, then.
Companies exist to make possible what we can't do on our own.
KARAOKE Welcome Party of three? Party of two.
I come here all the time.
I didn't know you liked karaoke.
I'm sorry.
I've been lying to you.
I haven't shown you the real Retsuko.
SEND Time for the truth about Retsuko! Twenty-five years old, OK! I'm a Scorpio, and my blood type is A! I come to karaoke all the time And bring my mic and then I Slay! Heal the pain, in my secret place! Underneath the smile I'm metal till I die! Underneath the smile I'm metal till I die! Underneath the smile I'm metal to the bottom of my soul And that's a place that would destroy you 'Cause you're bland! You're really good.
Don't mind me.
Keep singing.
What should I put next? It's over.
You really are an awkward girl.
Welcome back, Retsuko.
I'm back.
I'm home.
I told you not to bother coming here.
-You look fine.
-I was worried over nothing.
It must have been tough in Accounting.
-It was hell.
-You owe us one.
I'll change the water.
See you.
Take your time.
Retsuko, how are you doing? What do you mean? I should be asking you that.
I've heard some things about the guy from Sales.
I think I know you better than he does.
I've known you for five years.
I'm sure I understand you.
But the truth is that I probably don't know anything.
The Retsuko that I know is the one in my head.
That's why I would like to know you better.
Do you catch my drift? Yes, I do.
But if you don't ask properly, I can't give you a proper answer.
I see Of course You know what? Life doesn't always go the way you expect.
It's a series of disappointments and misunderstandings KARAOKE but we must work through our discontent and move forward.
When we keep moving, we become a little stronger every single day.
Hey, short-timer! I told you to prepare the documents for the meeting.
-Bring them here now.
-Coming! -Open this jar, Retsuko.
-OK! -Now feed me.
-Sure! -Retsuko, pick up the phone already! -Alright! This is only between us, OK? I did this and that became Retsuko, could you do this? Your documents are ready.
Excuse me! What is this? You think that's done? Always distracted! You are the "pressure-free" generation.
I apologize.
What should I fix? Seriously, you don't even know? You, slow-witted woman.
It's common knowledge, isn't it? Listen, when you staple documents you have to staple them at a 45-degree angle! Subtitle translation: John Haguewood
