Kissing the Ring Finger (2023) s01e10 Episode Script

1
I'm so glad I'm in time! Safe!
What "safe"? We have only one minute left!
You're totally an idiot. Fancy oversleeping on the day of your wedding.
That's why we should have turned in earlier last night.
Excuse me? You were the one who started kissing me first.
Oh? So you're using that against me now? Then I won't do that ever again.
- No way.
- Then apologize.
No way.
Come on, it's about to start.
[Kissing the Ring Finger: Final Episode]
Negi, get ready. Come on, Negi, Negi. Come!
- Come here, Negi.
- Come here!
Sit here, Negi. I won.
Why? Waitー
[Negi has chosen]
Wait a second. Why?
[Togo]
- He likes me more, right?
- Come on, Negi.
Huh? Wait a minute.
- What?
- Hang on a second. Hang on a second!
- He's playing dirty!
- No, I'm not.
- That's so unfair! How despicable of you!
- At least give me a handicap.
- Using dog treats is cheating!
- Look, look!
What is it?
Don't stray from the topic.
Come on.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
What are you watching?
Oh, good morning.
- What were you watching?
- N-Nothing.
You're acting strange.
Come on, don't slack off.
I'm not slacking.
- Let's start the day already.
- Got it.
Ms. Sasaki, will Ms. Haneda be okay about tomorrow?
Oh, about that, I've spoken to Mr. Sakuraba earlier.
Glad to hear that!
M-Mr. Sakuraba!
Ms. Haneda, can I have a moment?
Sure.
Ms. Haneda, you've been working nonstop for ten months straight, right?
We would like to apologize for all the trouble we have caused.
I had caused a lot of trouble to the team,
so I'm working hard to gain back everyone's trust.
But you still have to get some rest.
Please make sure to apply for leave.
Got it. Thank you very much.
In that case, take leave for tomorrow.
- Huh? Tomorrow?
- Yes, tomorrow.
You have a lunch meeting at 12PM later,
and an online meeting at 2PM.
A planning meeting at 3PM, andー
Don't worry, I've got that all in my head.
Togo, haven't you been working too much lately?
I'll decide whether it's too much or not.
Also, get the sales director to resign. Our revenue hasn't improved at all.
What? But he only got transferred there recentlyー
We can hire more capable new staff.
What movie do you want to watch today?
You appear kind of aloof, but you're actually an indirect person, right?
No, I'm not.
But previously, I indeed was trying to take the lead,
but I'll let you choose what to watch this time.
In that case, maybe a horror movie?
No way.
What? Scared?
Totally not.
- You are scared.
- I said I'm not.
Let's head to the theater, then.
Sure.
- Come, Negi.
- Negi.
Okay. I'll bring Negi home first.
Sure.
What do you think?
It looks perfect on you.
Thank you. If you think so then I'll choose this one.
You look beautiful.
You're really good at flattering people, huh?
- How many guests are there?
- Hey there.
- Helloー
- Huh? Why are you?
Oh, I forgot something. My wallet.
That would be terrible.
- Come on, your day off will go to waste soon.
- That's right, that's right.
- Quickly get out of here already!
- See you.
- Thank you for the hard work.
- Take care.
This is bad, this is bad!
Allow me to explain the flow after this. Next month
Ms. Sasaki! Ms. Sasaki!
- What is it?
- Seems like Ms. Haneda is here.
What? She's here?!
Is there anything else you wish to see?
Nothing. Thanks.
Uh, waitー
- Thank you very much.
- Takemoto, Takemoto!
Stop him, stop him!
Drag it, drag it.
Thank you for the hard work
Please hold on! This way, please. This way.
Here are some of our new dresses, which have just arrived.
Choose whichever you want.
I think I'll pass on the fittings. They don't really suit me.
W-W-Wait. Last but not least, would you like some tea?
No, we'll be leaving now.
Noted on that. Thank you very much.
- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- It's fine.
Sorry. It was in my wallet, after all.
Glad that it was worth the trip here.
It's on the way to Shibuya,
and if we're watching it today, we can get free popcorn.
My parents are really happy about the wedding.
But I don't plan to live in with you.
Let's at least accompany each other as a married couple.
I plan to do that as well.
Glad to hear that.
Will the theater be crowded, since it's raining?
You may be right.
Ayaka.
Huh? Hachi!
Long time no see.
- It's been half a year, right?
- Yeah, time flies.
Where's everybody?
Oh, they happen to be out right now.
Is that so? I've brought some snacks for everyone.
Really? Thank you so much.
It's great here, after all. The air smells good, too.
Maybe I should have stayed with Mr. Sakuraba, after all.
What brings you here today?
Well, I came to see you.
Pardon?
I was wondering how you've been.
I'm still somewhat doing fine as usual.
Togo has changed, though.
Togo is back to his old self.
He doesn't even smile at me now.
What?
Sorry, I was just complaining.
I was feeling nostalgic about those days when we did our filming together.
We had a lot of laughter back then.
L'olio d'oliva è un olio magico.
["Olive oil is a magical oil" in Italian]
Wow! Wow
Putting on makeup is so hard.
Jeez Wait, there's sauce on your lips.
Good morning.
He's sleeping so soundly.
Hey, Togo. Wake up.
We have to do our morning routine.
What must you take note of, as the company's president?
It has to be my health, of course.
I didn't really care about my health until I was 20.
Then I got really concerned about what I eat.
So I did it, since I figured there's no one who can replace me.
Huh? What's up with you guys?
Mamma mia!
- Youー
- Ayaka, you're really good!
I'm good, aren't I?
Okay. Take a look.
"Love You".
- Love who?
- What?
You, Togo.
Thank you.
- Let me draw on you too.
- Wait, Wait! No way!
Please excuse me.
This is the seating arrangement for Mr. Nitta's wedding.
Thank you. I'll check it through.
[Groom's Mother: Shizuka Nitta]
I've wanted to meet you Mother.
I do not know why you have come.
But please, do not involve yourself with the Nitta's any longer.
I cannot become your mother, not anymore.
[Nitta]
How are preparations for the wedding?
Yes, it's proceeding as planned.
The contract on the other end also seems to be going smoothly.
I'm looking forward to it.
Mirei is a nice lady.
Yes.
Togo.
Do you have a moment?
Are you really okay with this?
Yes.
As the heir, I have to make a decision that is best for the family.
Just like how you did, too.
I really loved your birth mother.
But I wasn't allowed to marry her.
It's the same thing for Shizuka. She wasn't allowed to marry Arata's father.
And so, all of us ended up being unhappy.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
I shouldn't have had any dreams in the first place.
I should have married someone for the sake of the family.
Have a seat.
Sorry that you had to come over at this hour.
Don't be. I also wanted to have a good chat with you.
This is the first time we're talking about stuff outside of work, right?
I'm sorry that I didn't get to properly greet you until now.
No, don't be.
Has your father spoken to you about it?
Yes, he did.
He wanted the two of us to help save my mom.
Actually, my late dad, too,
had told me to save my mom.
But my mom refused to acknowledge me as her son,
so I don't know what to do.
For taking away the time you could have spent with your mom,
I deeply apologize for that.
It's not your fault, Mr. Nitta.
But to be honest,
I admit that I was envious of you.
She had showered you wholeheartedly with her love, and cared for you.
But in reality,
she has hurt you, whom she's supposed to love, and Ms. Haneda.
Mr. Nitta,
could you please help me?
I'm home.
Oh, Ms. Ayaka.
It's been a long time.
It's been a while. How have you been?
I am fine, thank you for your concern.
This is Ms. Mirei. She is Togo's fiancee.
Nice to meet you. I'm Mirei Kuriyama.
I believe you're already aware
that they will be holding their wedding next month.
I see.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
Well then, let's go, shall we?
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Please take care.
Are you okay?
Yup. Totally.
Oh, no wonder you got me to go shop for these.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for making you all worry.
I'll go put these down.
Did something happen?
I bumped into Togo.
What's more, his beautiful fiancee was with him.
But more importantly,
he refused to look at me, and acted unfriendly.
That just irks me.
When we broke up,
he told me he doesn't need a wife nor family.
Yet he's now getting married.
He's one big liar.
He just obeyed his parents' instructions.
It's only been ten months since we broke up.
Why has he changed so much?
You still
love Mr. Nitta, right?
What?
Around the time when both of you have divorced,
Mr. Nitta asked me out, and we had a chat.
Wait a minute. What do you mean?
He asked me for a favor.
To stay by your side and be your pillar of support.
I really enjoyed the time I spent together with you.
But the one who should be with you isn't me, after all.
Mr. Nitta still has feelings for you.
That's what I think.
Hey, let's take a photo together.
What?
I'm just imprinting this moment into my eyes.
Just delete it already. It's gross!
Hey, stop it!
- Give it back to me!
- Don't wanna.
- Come on, Riku!
- No way.
Give me back already!
How long are you going to drag this on?
You're so noisy! What time do you think it is?!
Dad, you're the noisiest.
You've woken them up.
Everyone is worried about you.
I'm sorry.
Tell us how you really feel.
I still
love Togo.
I can't forget him.
I figured something must have happened back then.
But I bumped into Togo the other day.
He didn't look happy at all.
If I hadn't broken up with him back thenー
Ayaka, you're wrong to say that.
It's great that you've divorced him.
What?
That was what Togo had wanted.
To tell you the truth,
Togo and I had a chat before your divorce.
The harassments against your shop,
and the debt problem you're having this time
My mother
had been involved in all of this.
What?
That woman would not allow me to have someone whom I care about.
That is why she is planning to ruin that plan.
I will
break up with Ayaka.
- Wait, butー
- That woman
may hurt Ayaka.
And that scares me
more than anything else.
Togo had broken up with you to protect you.
What's all this? Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Your dad has your interests at heart.
So what if it's for my sake?
I wanted to be with Togo.
Even so, why did youー
I wanted to protect you, too!
I wanted to protect my family!
Togo is also family to me!
We were husband and wife.
Mom
Mom, if you had been in my shoes,
you would have done the same thing, right?
As long as you can be with the one you love, you'll overcome anything together, right?
It's now too late to say all thisー
I will.
What?
Mom will also do the same thing.
Dad
just let Ayaka do what she wants.
I don't know if Togo still loves me,
but I won't give up.
As expected of my daughter!
Go for it and break it down!
Okay.
Ayaka, go for it!
- Go for it!
- Good luck!
Fight, fight!
You're all still awake?!
- Good luck!
- You can do it, Ayaka.
Go for it!
It's been so long since we came here!
Come on, Togo. Over here!
Hi, Togo.
I've been waiting for you.
Why?
It'll be fun. Right?
Right?
Oh, I'll leave this here, okay?
Is everything okay with the barbecue preparations?
Yes, kind of.
- Alright then, we'll leave the rest to you.
- Okay.
- Huh?
- See you!
Hachi, Sayo, thanks for your help!
- Wait!
- Now, now
Hachi! Sayo! Stop screwing around!
They won't be coming back.
Excuse me?
For today, it'll just be the two of us.
Ooh, looks good.
Magico! Magico, magico, magico!
It's Italian food for today. Your favorite!
Togo, come and help me!
Togo, you'll be in charge of skewering the meat and veggies!
I've cut the veggies already.
Red peppers
Is the ajillo ready soon?
[a dish fried in garlic oil]
Ouch!
Are you okay? Where's the burn?
I'm okay.
Let's cool it down.
I'll do the cooking.
I don't like food that tastes horrible.
Buono, buono!
["good" in Spanish]
I love you.
- Huh?
- You.
- How's the pizza?
- I love it.
I'm talking about the food.
I love everything.
What are you trying to do?
I love you so much.
I'm getting married next month.
- It doesn't matter.
- What?
Everything doesn't matter.
As long as you and I love each other, nothing matters.
Do you know what you're talking about?
I know, very well.
My dad has told me everything.
That you broke up with me to protect me.
Then all's good, isn't it?
Idiot!
- What?
- You're the king of idiots.
Excuse me?!
I told you that we'll be a family, right?
So, I'll be fine no matter what your mom does to me.
I'll protect you, Togo.
Because we're a famliy.
That woman
wouldn't let me go.
That's why I'm scared.
If anything does happen to you
Let her come at me, then.
I'm even more miserable without you in my life.
Miserable enough for me to feel like I'm dying.
Isn't it the same
for you?
Are you okay with that?
Of course not.
Since I can't be with you,
I don't care who I'm marrying.
As long as I have the memories of the time we spent together,
I figured I can still survive even if my heart is dead.
Togo
don't ever leave me again.
I can't live without you.
Yeah
it's impossible.
I won't leave you ever again.
I won't let you go, no matter what.
Hey, Ayaka.
I love you, too.
You're lousy at it. Hand it over.
Wipe it like this, properly and gently.
- You're too particular.
- What?
Please go ahead. I'll leave it to you.
By the way, you called me the king of idiots yesterday, right?
Did I say that?
Doesn't sound bad at all.
King of idiots, king of idiots, king of idiots!
Don't go too far.
Togo
we'll always be together.
I want that, too.
But at this rate, the same thing may happen again.
You mean, your mom?
What that woman did was unforgivable.
But no matter what she did,
she is still my mother.
Yup.
Your family is also my family.
So let's go and see your mom together.
Oh, Togo.
It's been a while.
Why are you here?
There's something we'd like to tell you.
I have called off the wedding.
What are you talking about?
I have spoken to the bride's family.
Both our companies have properly settled the contract.
Do you know what you have done?
Yes, I do.
I have decided that I will walk the path that I want.
Together with Ayaka.
So you are abandoning me?
Please don't be mistaken.
Togo has always regarded you as his mother.
That's why he divorced me and planned to remarry.
There were many times when I wanted to run away from you.
But I couldn't bring myself to abandon you.
Even if we're not related by blood,
I am grateful that you've raised me with love and care.
So no matter how much I wanted to hate you, I couldn't.
I threw away everything to marry into this family.
That's why I've never cared about anything but you.
Togo, you are everything to me.
Mother.
Why are you here?
Because he is family.
I'm sorry, Shizuka.
I should have done this earlier.
You have another son.
I hope you can regain the time you could have spent with Arata.
The time you could have spent with him as mother and child.
- Come back, Togo.
- I won't let him go.
Come back here!
I can't.
Don't leave me all by myself.
Stay by my side!
I have never intended to take Togo away from you.
We
won't let you be alone.
Neither do we intend to leave you.
You are not alone.
You have Arata and me.
Both of us
are your sons.
Mother.
I'm happy
that you gave birth to me.
Thank you,
Mother.
You've grown so big.
I've always wanted to meet you.
Negi, slow down! Watch out!
Have you wiped the feet?
Huh? Are they smelly?
You idiot. I mean Negi.
Whenever he's back from a walk, we must wipe his feet.
I've wiped them already. Anyway, we can clean the floor if he dirties it.
I'm the one cleaning the floor, though.
You were the one who said you'd do the cooking and cleaning.
Then what do you actually do?
- I cheer you on.
- Huh?
Go for it, go for it, Togo!
Go, go, Togo! Go, go, Togo! Woof!
What are you doing? You think that will make me happy?
Huh? Then what do you want me to do?
Stay with me.
- Huh?
- Huh?
I want you to stay with me.
I want us to always be together.
I said it, okay?
Yeah, sure.
What's with that casual reply?
- That was a proposal!
- What?! It was?
Huh?!
Did you even notice? That was a proposal!
You're an idiot, aren't you?
- But there's no ring.
- I've put in a lot of effort, you know?
What a cheapskate. He's a cheapskate, isn't he?
- It's passable.
- Don't be ridiculous.
Togo, thank you.
I, too, want us to always be together.
It's glittery.
Looks good.
I'm so glad I'm in time! Safe!
What "safe"? We have only one minute left!
You're totally an idiot. Fancy oversleeping on the day of your wedding.
That's why we should have turned in earlier last night.
Excuse me? You were the one who started kissing me first.
Oh? So you're using that against me now? Then I won't do that ever again.
- No way.
- Then apologize.
No way.
Come on, it's about to start.
This is the answer that my sister and her husband gave.
Negi, come here. Over here!
Thank you for coming
Mom.
Togo, Ayaka,
my heartiest congratulations to you.
They're getting married for real, right?
They're probably already tired of all the contracts.
They're no longer a married couple bound only by a piece of paper.
Easy to break up, and no divorce history.
Sounds good, right? I mean, you don't have to enter your partner's grave.
That's right.
All of you!
We are wedding planners, aren't we?
All the more we should have dreams about marriage!
I want to implement the touchable holograms by connecting the haptics with the original system.
Interesting. Your last proposal is great, too.
We're counting on you.
Thank you!
- Well guys, let's get to work.
- Okay.
Hey, what were you talking about all this time?
Anyway, as long as everything goes well, right?
His Japanese is really good.
Our wedding ended without a hitch.
Thanks for everything.
- It's done.
- Let me do it, let me do it.
Since I'm the eldest.
I don't care about seniority.
In that case, let's decide with rock-paper-scissors.
I will feed the baby.
- What?
- You kids, go do your homework.
What's going on? Dad is the most senior one here, so I'll do it.
- You have to work.
- It's fine.
- Let's do rock-paper-scissors.
- Let's do it!
Rock, paper, scissors!
The baby's crying, the baby's crying! Aw
As for me, I borrowed materials from my sister,
and started writing a novel.
[Kissing the Ring Finger]
Want to eat? High-five.
Good boy.
Togo, hurry up with my breakfast too.
Am I your butler?
- Are you ready? I'm turning it on.
- Sure.
The new season is finally here.
[The Duke of Hakone: Arata Sakuraba]
It's "The Battler"!
Season 7.
Let's see.
- There you are.
- Sakuraba is an outstanding and caring man.
He's really cool, even from a man's point of view.
I hope he can be the next Battler who will surpass me.
[Surpass me]
Compared to Mr. Nitta, I still have a long way to go.
"Surpass me"?
Hey, what do you mean by "surpass"?
Stop joking around.
I'm sure Arata will be really popular.
This is the end for you, King.
Shut up.
Over here.
Jeez
I kind of like this routine.
Me, too.
Okay, shall we eat?
Here goes. Let's dig in!
Looks delicious!
- Is it delicious?
- It's delicious!
Here.
