Gokusen (2002) s01e10 Episode Script

1
Let's see Cancer is Oh!
My horoscope for love is perfect
this week,
and there might be
a big change too?
But
Of course it can't be accurate.
Miss Yamaguchi.
Good morning.
Mr Shinohara! Good morning.
The weather is good!
Yes! This morning is fantastic!
Oh, actually, the gardener back
there gave me these cactuses
I've got two, if you'd like one?
Cactus?
Yeah. Cute, isn't it?
Thank you.
This is the first gift I've got
from Mr Shinohara
Oh, Miss Yamaguchi?
Are you available tonight?
Yes! I am available anytime
and for as long as you want!
Could the fortune-telling in here
actually be accurate?
That would be great.
Kashiwagi and I
were saying that we'd like to have
a drink with you guys.
We're going as a group
What? Neither of you can go tonight?
It's a good opportunity, but Yuta
seems to have caught a cold.
And I've finally booked a session
at the beauty salon,
so I have to go.
You want to be even more beautiful?
Of course.
That means, I'll be
the only woman
My chance!
My horoscope in the magazine
is accurate!
The lucky item is cactus?
Oh, this can only be fate.
How lonely of you to
talk to a cactus.
- Well done! Good luck, Kumiko!
- Miss Yamaguchi
- Let's do our best!
- You're ignoring me?
Yes! We'll go to a matchmaking party
with the girls from Gochoran Girls'!
- I'm going!
- I want to go!
Sorry
There are only four of them.
I talked to them, so I'm going.
Then Ucchi, Kuma and Shin
are going, so
Yes!
I'm so glad that Minami
called in sick today.
A matchmaking party?
Let me join in!
I love ladies! So make sure
you let me join!
But why you four?
Ucchi will liven up the atmosphere.
Let's liven this up, shall we?
- Shin is there for his looks.
- I'm not going.
You have to! Your presence
will charge the atmosphere.
Why is Kuma going, then?
Exactly. Why Kuma?
For a laugh.
What?
Oh, I see
What the heck?
You guys really do think too.
Well, yeah.
But don't tell Minami.
Yeah, of course I won't.
Matchmaking party Lovely!
All romantic relationships
start from the encounter.
Oh! You have a point, Yankumi!
You said something brilliant today.
How unusual!
I mean, a life without romance
is like a film about the yakuza
that doesn't feature Ken Takakura!
Why are you holding that?
Okay, guys! Let's fall in love!
Bunch of idiots.
Outfit, check.
Hairstyle, check.
Smile, check.
Miss Yamaguchi.
Yes?
Sorry, Kashiwagi got called suddenly
to work the night shift.
What?
But Miss Fujiyama and Ms Kawashima
couldn't come either.
Is that so?
So
Is it okay if
it's just the two of us?
Of course!
Glad to hear it!
Actually
I would like to ask you a favor.
What?
Could there really be a big change?
They're so pretty!
Shin, you have to smile.
Okay, let's go with the standard
self-introductions first.
What's so exciting about that?
Haruhiko Uchiyama, a year three
student at Eisho Gakuen High School.
My nickname is Ucchi!
Nice to meet you!
He's so cool
What Eisho?
Shin, calm down.
Yeah, they wouldn't come if we told
them we studied at Shirokin.
What the heck?
I know I shouldn't talk to you
about this so abruptly
Yes?
It's about the wedding ceremony.
Wedding ceremony?
Yeah. Do you think holding it at a
church is better than in a shrine?
Butwhat
My mom's parental home is a shrine,
so I'd prefer holding it
at the shrine, if possible,
But I guess the romantic atmosphere
of a church is better, right?
Mr Shinohara, you have thought
about this so much?
Is it not preferable to hold it
in a shrine?
That's not true at all!
Whenever, wherever
The shrine is the best!
- Really?
- Yes!
The turn of the story
is like a dream
Well done!
This is so funny!
I didn't know there were guys as
funny as them at Eisho Gakuen!
Yeah, I know, right?
You see us in a new light now?
Let's go to the beach next time!
Let's go to the beach!
Darn you
Why are you having a matchmaking
party without telling me?
Minami Why?
We thought you might be having
the party here.
Who are these people?
We don't know.
We are their classmates.
We are in Shirokin Gakuin's
Class 3D
Shirokin
I was surprised when you suddenly
mentioned a wedding ceremony.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Tonight After this, perhaps
But it's too sudden
About the betrothal gifts?
Betrothal gifts?
He's even thought about it
that specifically?
Okay, Kumiko.
Prepare yourself for this.
Let's do our best!
Okay, Reiko.
- I'll come meet you right now.
- Reiko?
Sorry.
There's something urgent
I have to do.
But I really enjoyed tonight.
Okay, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Gosh, Mr Shinohara!
Hey!
You shouldn't do this, Kumiko.
But I have to know!
Could she behis girlfriend?
- I guess she is.
- What?
What are you doing here?
Detectives are popular, huh?
She'sreally his girlfriend?
You're still holding that?
The wedding ceremony
Is he getting married to her?
This is the big change it said?
Things never go well in life
No, they don't
I won't believe
my horoscope any more.
I'll never fall in love again.
Starting today,
I'll live my life for my job.
Let's do our best!
I beg your pardon.
Wow What a surprise!
It's been a long while
since we last met!
You are even more gorgeous.
Who is she?
No idea
The corridor stinks! Who is wearing
such pungent perfume
Sachiko!
- What are you doing here?
- Sachiko
I was nearby, so I came to visit.
Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you!
I am Sawatari's wife.
Mr Sawatari's
His wife
Oh?
Thank you for taking good care
of my husband!
We should be the ones to thank him.
- My dear.
- Yes?
Introduce me to these
lovely teachers here.
Yes. In order of their ages
Ms Kawashima, our school nurse.
She has a son and
her husband has passed away.
Hello, I'm Kawashima.
This is Miss Fujiyama, our English
teacher. 25 years old, single.
Her relationship with men
is a bit problematic here.
I'm Shizuka Fujiyama.
This is our math teacher,
Miss Yamaguchi.
She's out of the question.
I am Kumiko Yamaguchi.
I will choose you.
- What?
- What?
What?
This is the gentleman.
Don't these look like
matchmaking photos?
Yeah, they are matchmaking photos.
What?
Are they really?
Well, my wife likes to
take care of people,
and she has successfully matched
10 couples.
- Twelve couples.
- I'm sorry.
Sorry, it never goes well for me.
Well, it's very kind of you,
but I'm not interested in
going to any marriage meetings.
Because
I'll live for my job
and never fall in love
I have just made up my mind
to do so.
You heard what she said. Why don't
you introduce another lady to him?
No!
It is unusual for ladies nowadays
to have such a plain, serious
and slow-witted look about them.
Slow-witted?
She is perfect to go to
marriage meetings.
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
Listen. The chance to get married
doesn't come along very often
in the long years of your life.
Oh.
Whether you can win in
the match of chance or not
will decide whether you will be
happy as a woman or not.
A match?
Exactly.
You mean the marriage meeting
is where the match is held?
Yes, you are right.
If that's what you say,
I cannot back down.
I will accept the challenge
and play in the match.
As a woman, I, Kumiko Yamaguchi,
will accept your invitation
to the marriage meeting.
- Actually, Mr Sawatari
- Yes?
The thing we talked about just now,
can I choose not to go?
No, you can't.
I knew it
Don't worry, Miss Yamaguchi.
The good thing about
a marriage meeting
is you'll get rejected indirectly
through somebody else.
It will leave fewer emotional scars
than being rejected directly.
Even if you get rejected,
you don't have to be embarrassed.
I have experienced this many times.
He's a UTokyo graduate,
and he teaches at Eisho Gakuen.
Does that mean he is an elite?
And he's the second son!
I don't mind going after her,
please let me meet this guy!
Wait a minute!
I want to meet him first.
When you see him, will you ask if
he minds if the lady has a son?
- I want to meet him first!
- Why?
Excuse me, guys
Why do you assume that I'll fail
when you're talking about it?
Of course you will.
Darn! They dare assume that
I will get rejected.
If I get serious, I will be
even more than amazing!
What?
(Congratulations, Yankumi!
Marriage meeting, bring it on!)
Hang on How do you know?
A junior student told me.
I heard the rumor in
the school canteen!
The whole school knows about it?
But well done, Yankumi.
Yes, indeed.
You arranged a marriage meeting
the day after your heart was broken.
Don't remind me!
Well, they say that only a man can
heal a wound caused by another man.
But in her case, I think it'll have
the opposite effect.
If she gets rejected this time,
the scar will grow even bigger.
Yankumi, I feel so sorry for you!
This is too sad!
You have got so many scars.
Darn Even you guys?
At this rate, I'll be ashamed
to say I'm a woman!
Okay, now that it's happening,
I'll make it a success
and I'll be the one to reject him!
Sorry I'm late!
I'm sorry I'm late.
What's the matter?
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
Why the heck are you dressed
like that?
Well, you wear a kimono
to a marriage meeting, right?
But this is the only one I have.
"The only one"?
Nobody owns one nowadays.
- Miss Yamaguchi,
- Yes?
This is Eisho Gakuen's
Japanese teacher,
Mr. Toshihiko Ijuin.
Hello, I am Ijuin.
Hello, I am Kumiko Yamaguchi.
Nice to meet you.
Wow, you two look like
a perfect couple!
Delicious!
Kuma?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Come on, do sit down.
Mr Ijuin is so young,
but he's in charge of the
career guidance department.
You idiot! Why did you shout?
Sorry. This parfait is just so good.
But look at that guy
He looks like a pretty nice guy,
doesn't he?
Yeah, too good for Yankumi.
Miss Yamaguchi's students
call her Yankumi,
and she is extremely popular
with them.
You call that popular?
Ow
What an adorable nickname.
Has it always been your nickname?
No, that's the name
the students gave me.
My nickname has always been Kumicho.
Kumicho
Well
It'sKumiKumichon.
It's Kumichon.
Can she handle this?
Bang! Bang! Bang
Are you okay, little boy?
You should be quieter
in a place like this.
Shut up, old hag!
Old hag?
This stupid kid
hasn't been raised properly!
What a cute little boy! Yeah?
Mommy! She's scary!
Sorry, everyone at home is male,
so I accidently spoke
in a rough way.
Everyone at home is male?
I thought you lived alone?
What? Oh Yes, I did
You did?
No, I meando.
If you will excuse us.
Let's let these two young people
talk on their own.
What?
Do not get your attitude toward
this match wrong.
Yes.
Make sure you don't do anything
that brings shame on me.
Well, who knows?
- Who knows?
- Okay.
See you.
Well then, if you'll excuse us.
- Thank you.
- See you.
Miss Yamaguchi, what kind of movies
do you like?
Well, I often watch "Gokutsuma".
- "Gokutsuma"?
- Yes.
Oh? You don't know it?
The Adventures ofthe Wives
Who EnjoyTheir Lives?
Oh, this is bad
What? I knew you were here!
Gosh
I'm home.
Missy! Welcome home!
Why are you dressed like that?
For a negotiation?
No, I went to a marriage meeting.
Marriage meeting
Whose meeting?
Mine. Who else?
What
Oh, you're home, Kumiko?
I'm home.
How did your marriage meeting go?
Well It's a long story.
The guy is the son of which group?
No, he's a teacher.
That means, he's an honest man?
SorryI can't stand wearing this
any more. I'm going to get changed.
- Boss
- What?
Are you sure?
If Missy gets married to an
honest man, the Oedo Family
I told you. It's Kumiko's own life,
what she wants is best.
Mr. Sawatari, thank you
for yesterday.
It was kind of you to do that,
but it seems that I am not good at
going to marriage meetings at all,
so I will say no to the matchmaking.
Oh, you will?
No, don't just say that.
Please call and tell Mr. Ijuin.
But it isn't necessary.
What?
Mr. Sawatari, your wife
is on the phone.
See? She's called.
She called to reject me?
Hello?
Oh, Sachiko?
Yeah Mr. Ijuin called? Yeah
Yes?
Okay.
Thanks.
Miss Yamaguchi.
Mr. Ijuin said
that he wanted toyou.
Sorry, I didn't catch that.
I said, Mr. Ijuin said that
heyou.
- He wants to date me?
- Yes, he wants to date you.
Mr. Ijuin said that he wants
to date me?
Amazing!
It takes all kinds.
Your first marriage meeting
went so well,
I wish you would give me
a bit of your luck!
Just ask his friends to come along,
let's have a matchmaking party!
Good idea! I'm in!
But I'm going to reject him.
What a remarkable turn in the story!
Yankumi is the victor
in the marriage meeting!
Seriously?
No way! He must be just curious.
What's the matter, Kuma?
You look gloomy.
Hey, fatty, don't tell me
you have a crush on Yankumi!
- You
- Do you?
No, I don't!
It's just If Yankumi gets married
after this,
maybe she'll quit her job here
It's too early to talk about
getting married now.
Exactly
But, guys!
When he devotes herself
to something, surprisingly
Oh! Miss Yamaguchi.
Even if Yankumi leaves,
it's no big deal, right?
Well
Hey!
Jerk! What are you doing?
What's the matter?
What's wrong with him?
My jam-filled bun is gone.
But you can't eat it now.
What is this?
Hey! You!
Come with me.
What? Who are you?
You stole that from our shop,
didn't you?
What the heck?
What's the matter?
Your friends are with you?
You are students of Shirokin?
No wonder!
Come on!
But it was just on the ground here.
The guy who bumped into me
dropped it.
Don't tell such an obvious lie!
What?
What did you say?
The guy who ran away
was a student from Eisho, right?
Yeah, he was.
It was him! Go and catch him!
Shut up. Just come with me!
All of you!
- What? This is ridiculous!
- Come now!
- What are you doing?
- Hey!
- You jerk!
- No, Ucchi!
Actually, I'd like to talk
to you about something
Actually, Miss Yamaguchi
Our school needs
a mathematics teacher,
so I recommended you.
What? Why?
Well, you don't work at Shirokin
Gakuen because you like it, right?
Well, we are both teachers,
but the school you work at
makes a world of difference.
If we are dating, I want you to work
at a decent high school too.
Many of our students
go on to universities,
so you can hold your head up high.
Miss Yamaguchi
With all due respect
Hello?
Mr. Sawatari?
What?
Theft?
Okay. I'll come at once.
So
Mr. Ijuin, let's just pretend that
the marriage meeting never happened.
If you'll excuse me.
Guys
What happened?
Why did he say you stole something?
They did it again.
The students in Class 3D.
Well, about the theft, we don't know
the truth clearly yet.
The manager of the video game shop
said he got the item back,
so he won't file charges.
It's lucky that the manager
is understanding.
It could've been a lot worse.
He made little of the theft and
the fact that Uchiyama punched him.
What the heck?
The way this is going,
it's like we really did it!
Uchiyama, did you punch the manager?
Yeah.
Why did you punch him?
Because I didn't steal anything,
but he treated me like a thief.
After you punched him, did he
believe that you didn't do it?
Punching him did not solve
the problem!
Guys
You didn't steal anything, right?
Do you suspect us?
I'm asking whether
you did it or not!
We didn't!
We were just passing by the shop.
The video game that got stolen
was dropped by an Eisho student
who bumped into Kuma.
Ucchi just picked it up.
I see.
That's pretty unconvincing.
Considering their conduct,
they must be lying.
- What did you say?
- Kuma.
Forget it.
You know, I'm tired of denying it.
I believe them.
Miss Yamaguchi, again?
You only say you believe them.
These boys aren't people
who would tell lies.
Where is your proof?
You haven't got any, right?
The proof is
The proof is
the time I have spent with them
these last three months.
Your answer doesn't make sense
at all.
Excuse me.
Missy, I've brought you tea.
- Thanks.
- There you go.
What's the matter?
So, your marriage meeting
Oh, that?
I have rejected him properly.
Oh, you have?
The boys occupy my mind now,
so I haven't got time
to think about anything else.
Are you going to continue
to be a teacher?
Do you really not want to be
our fourth generation boss?
I do understand in my own way that
you want to work as a teacher.
- But eventually
- Tetsu.
Many people can replace you
as a teacher, but
You're the only one who can be the
Oedo Family's 4th generation boss.
Tetsu, you're wrong.
Nobody can replace me
as a teacher either.
I am the boys' only teacher.
I do not work as a teacher
with a half-hearted attitude.
I prepare myself for anything
when I face the boys in my class.
But
I'm not convinced.
Hey, Tetsu!
- Oh, Tetsu.
- Boss.
Come here, have a drink with me.
Sure. Thank you, Boss.
Thanks.
- Tetsu.
- Boss.
Your moustache
You started growing it to wish that
Kumiko would succeed me to be
the fourth generation boss, right?
Yes, Boss.
As you say, Boss,
I wanted Missy to walk
the path she wanted.
That's what I once thought.
But
I still cannot give up.
- You, too, actually
- Tetsu.
Everyone is cut out to do
a certain job. It's our calling.
- Calling?
- Yeah.
It is a job that
God calls you to do.
But not many people find it.
She works frantically to face
and deal with her students.
If Kumiko's job as a teacher
is her calling,
Tetsu, I want to give her
the support she needs.
(Eisho Gakuen High School)
All of you, go!
What are you doing?
Do you think we'll let you do this?
You say one of our students stole
something and put the blame on you?
That's impossible, of course!
Leave!
Until the thief comes forward,
we're staying put.
Yeah.
Hey!
The guy who bumped into me!
Come here at once!
I'm calling the police
if you don't stop this.
Bring it on!
What are you guys doing?
Miss Yamaguchi
These are your students?
What they're saying is nonsense.
What did you say?
No, Uchiyama.
Okay, Miss Yamaguchi,
would you take them away with you?
One of your student caused
my students to be falsely accused.
Please bring him here.
What are you talking about,
Miss Yamaguchi?
Your students are the ones who are
falsely accusing mine, of course.
Okay.
Let me meet all the students
in the school.
My students were treated as thieves
for a theft they didn't commit.
Others might forgive him,
but I cannot forgive him.
Miss Yamaguchi, you are too naive.
You listened to what these
students said without thinking.
Mr. Ijuin, you suspect them
right from the beginning
because they are ill-bred,
don't talk in a nice way,
underachieving academically
and are students of Shirokin?
You say students in your school
never steal anything,
because all of them are elites
who get good academic results?
Yes, so what?
What you believe in
isn't your students.
What you believe in
is the name of your school
and your own arrogance!
Miss Yamaguchi
When you get to know someone,
you have to be frank
with one another,
that's when you first see in
your heart what they're like.
A person's appearance
and their heart are different.
What can you know from
just a person's looks and title?
Can you see their mind?
At first glance,
can you tell that he can endure
anything for his little sister?
Can you tell that
he really loves his mother?
They are all considerate,
and they all possess
beautiful hearts, but can you tell?
At first
I didn't know it that well either.
But
After spending a lot of time
with them,
and by doing so,
I gradually came to know this.
My students
know what duty and humanity are,
and they are all warm-hearted.
I trust them.
I trust my students.
Big Bro
This is absurd.
If you spend time with every single
student giving all this fancy talk,
you won't be a teacher
for much longer.
Mr. Shinohara?
Do you have a minute?
Detective, your timing is perfect.
Arrest them for trespassing
Actually, last night,
we checked the video from
the shop's security camera,
it showed a student who is
probably from your school.
It's this student here.
That's him!
The one who bumped into me.
He's one of your students, right?
We would like to talk
to this student.
Sure.
My goodness!
You just did whatever you pleased.
We didn't come to beat him up.
We came here to talk.
But still, you should have
told me
But you came here on your own too.
No, I am here as a teacher
It's just as Shin predicted.
What?
Shin said you would come here on
your own and cause a problem again.
We can't let Yankumi get fired
because of us. Right?
Sawada
We have to settle our own matters,
of course.
Guys
You silly boys
Okay, guys! Let's go!
Oh, right
Mr. Ijuin!
You said just now that I couldn't be
a teacher if this is what I do,
but I am still going to spend
a lot of time with my students.
So I can hold my head up high
and say
that I am Shirokin Gakuin's
and the boys' teacher.
Missy has found her calling.
Grilled meat!
Let's go have grilled meat!
Welcome home, Missy!
I'm home.
Tetsu! Where has
your moustache gone?
WellMissy
What I said last night was
out of line. I apologize!
What are you doing?
Don't be such a drama queen.
The look suits you.
Thank you, Missy!
Tetsu.
Have you really given up
trying to persuade Missy?
Yes, I have given up.
To get her to be our future boss.
My love for Missy won't change.
Of course it won't!
Big Bro!
You
You
You are a real man!
You lady-killer!
You idiot.
Oh, no! The staff meeting!
Good morning!
Mr. Shinohara! Good morning.
Thank you for yesterday.
Thanks for investigating so much
for my students.
It's okay.
When I saw that you trust
your students so much,
I had to do something.
Mr. Shinohara
Anyway, I'm the one
who should say thank you.
Thanks to your advice,
I managed to persuade her about
the wedding ceremony.
Oh Yeah?
My sister, Reiko, will hold her
wedding ceremony at our shrine.
Y-your sister?
Yeah. Oh, please let me treat you
to dinner to thank you.
That was your sister?
Yeah.
I see I see, it was his sister!
Good!
Mr. Shinohara, I am very happy!
Yankumi, we're so jealous!
You What are you looking at?
You're passionate
so early in the morning.
It's not fair that you get to spend
so much time alone with him!
Come on, not the two of you as well!
Well, my students are waiting.
I look forward to our dinner.
Okay.
Wait, you two are going alone?
When did you
Guys! Be happy together with me!
You! And you
Interview? I'm delighted to.
Yankumi, my dad
Pull yourself together.
Darn!
They did something outrageous!
Please say something.
Class 3D never dies!
I am the best!
What if the police show up?
The Oedo Family
What's the matter?
This is Shirokin
You should tell them
where they should go.
