A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e14 Episode Script
Walls exist to be overcome!!
1
By the way
Could you help me with studying?
I cannot.
Just hear me out.
I really need to get a decent
grade on the next exam.
Why do you care now?
You can always just use Dad's power.
Or even if you got a crappy grade,
you could still get by.
That won't work this time.
Why not?
They want me back home if
I bomb the makeup exam.
What?!
I hereby begin our briefing.
Comprehensive
Japanese
Here's the situation.
Our army has been defeated spectacularly by
the overwhelming force of the
Megurogawa Academy exams.
We must perfect the exam material by
Monday and conquer the makeup exams.
We have orders to withdraw from
this position should we fail.
Anything you want to say, Sergeant?
Would you mind leaving if you're
just going to dick around?
My motto is to have fun with anything I do.
How about a commemorative photo, Sergeant?
No pictures!
So anyway, help, please.
It's your own fault.
How are you so patronizing?
I'm just desperate.
But why do they want you
back home all of a sudden?
They were my first exams since
I transferred, remember?
Class 2-A Amano Erika Year ranking (total) 242/242
I tried my best
But this school goes so much
faster than Orpheus.
Erika, I'm sure you understand.
If you can't keep up, you need to come home.
They're pretty concerned
that I ranked last.
I'm sure they are.
I feel like your school's got too
many smart people, Nagi-kun.
The lectures are so hard.
I have no idea what's going on.
The exams are next level, too.
That's because you haven't been studying.
How was it at your old school?
This is the first time I ever ranked last.
My tutor's exam question
predictions were dead-on.
Not that I have a tutor anymore.
Why did I transfer to this school, anyway?
I wonder why.
How odd.
Please stop looking at me.
Just so you know, I'm busy studying, too.
I expect you to focus.
Yessir, Sergeant!
We're starting with math.
Mess around, and I'm
discharging you immediately.
Yessir!
Nice, nice!
Look this way!
Perfect!
What are you doing?
Sachi-chan wanted to study with us.
I have entrance exams, too.
Do you have a problem?
You don't look like someone dealing
with entrance exams to me.
Just stay out of our way.
Okay.
Sir! Sergeant!
I'm lost.
Already?
2: A regular hexagon ABCDEF is inscribed inside
a circle of radius 1. Given Θ is 2π
1) Prove, if true, that
sin 3Θ + sin 2Θ = 0.
2) Find cos Θ.
3) Find α.
4) Find the length of line segment AD.
This problem here.
The answers are in the key,
along with explanations.
Look at that first.
Hear me out, you sergeant from hell.
That's insulting.
What is pi?
Seriously?!
I get distracted when
problems like these come up.
Pi is the circumference ratio.
It's roughly 3.14.
Say what?
Why is it 3.14, anyway?
New Middle School Mathematics
which is why this infinitely long number
that comes out of this hexagon
is shortened to 3.14.
I see!
So, what were we doing?
Also, why is this 3.14
thing abbreviated as "pi"?
If we're going to use symbols,
why can't we just make it a cute emoji?
Erika-chan, you can always work on
another problem when you get stuck.
Right, Onii?
Yeah. That's probably for the better.
Makes sense.
Okay, next.
Done!
Modern Literature
Question 1: Describe how "I"
would have felt
in the underlined text.
Let's see.
They felt squee
They felt squee!
How about English?
Wait, I'm googling it now.
Next!
Chronology
There's nothing to get confused
about in history, right?
Nagi-kun
Now what?
I'm still thinking about pi.
Why is it that symbol?
I think I'm getting in the way,
so I'll go back to my room.
You aren't in the way.
Wait, hold on
It's already been three hours
since we started studying.
Isn't that awesome?
Excuse me, but are you even trying?
What?!
I'm totally staring down the questions!
It's been three hours and you haven't
finished a single problem properly.
It doesn't seem like you're trying!
Well
I want to study so I can beat Segawa-san.
Oh, really? Fine.
Forget it, then. I'll just go home.
Suit yourself.
Wait
Hey, Onii!
I get it.
There's no way I can pass the makeup test.
Dad knows that.
He's using this to make me come home.
I bet.
I've strived to become
independent since I met you.
But this is how it ends.
It's my fate to have to do as my parents say.
Erika-chan
Fate, huh?
I guess
If Amano-san has to leave,
Sachi and I will be going home, too.
It's been two months since
I came to this place.
It was really uncomfortable at first,
but I guess when I went home
last time, it felt nostalgic.
I liked this desk, too.
And the bed.
Guess I'm going back to sleeping
in a futon on the tatami mats.
It is what it is, I guess.
Wait, Sachi, you're still awake?
Yeah.
I'm sleeping here tonight.
Why's that?
Erika-chan's studying.
Victory
Victory
Oh, she is?
Why don't you teach her properly?
You saw her.
Besides, she's intent on going home.
There's nothing I can do.
You're the one who's intent on going home!
What's the problem?
It's not like you're never
going to see her again.
Onii, you jerk.
You know how Nagi-kun takes
everything he does really seriously?
He's really hardworking.
I'll help you out.
I get distracted when
problems like these come up.
3.14, my ass.
You fundamentally don't know how to study!
Wait, who said you could come in?
To hell with the circle ratio!
Stop thinking like a scholar!
The makeup exam is made up
of questions from the exam.
In other words, memorization!
We're doing this.
Let's do it!
A-Actually, I told you I'm done.
You're studying hard for
Hiro-chan, aren't you?
I can't keep dragging you down.
I don't suck enough to get dragged
down by the likes of you.
The likes of me?!
Besides, why are you studying?
I thought you were going to
accept your fate and go home.
You don't want to, do you?
Don't try to spare me.
Just tell me the truth.
You want my help so that you
don't have to go home, don't you?
But that's
Your problems are my problems.
You're my fiancée.
I'll change fate.
Change fate?
You're so grandiose.
You'd better take responsibility, then.
Leave it to me!
For the next two days,
you are under my purview.
You are a sergeant from hell!
Answer either yes or yes!
Y-Yessir!
Not "yessir"! Yes or yes!
Yes, sir!
Good, that's it! Once more!
Yes, sir!
Guess I'll borrow Onii's room.
No looking at your phone
the moment I turn away!
No eating snacks!
No sleeping!
Focus!
You're too mean. I can't.
Why are you here, Umino?
Don't mind me.
Now, as for your makeup exam
Well done.
Nagi-kun!
I did it, Nagi-kun!
You did it, Amano-san!
Yes!
Sir.
That was unfortunate.
Erika
I passed the makeups!
I heard your daughter won't be returning.
Unfortunate?
No.
All is well.
Congratulations on passing the exams!
Thanks!
I'm so happy.
You're really amazing, Erika-chan.
I know.
It's a piece of cake,
once I put my mind to it.
Like hell it's a "piece of cake"!
I pulled two straight all-nighters for you!
Not only that, I wrote two
custom textbooks for you!
I marked your work, monitored you
so you wouldn't fall asleep,
provided rations, managed your schedule
That was all me! All me!
I was the one who passed.
Yeah, but still!
Thanks, though.
I've never been so happy
about an exam result.
I hate being so nervous about an exam.
Who cares? She passed.
So now, it's festival time!
What? You're going to celebrate for me?
No, we're not.
There's a festival by my place this weekend.
I was thinking of inviting you
if you passed the exams.
My parents get really gung-ho
about it every year. It'll be fun.
Gung-ho?
Festival?
Samba!
VamoLá!
Tequila!
That sounds fun.
What kind of festival?!
You're going, too, right?
Of course I'm going.
My attendance is mandatory.
Mandatory?
Monshiro-cho Shopping District
Umino-tei Diner
Original Yakisoba
Bonito Flakes
Huh?
Yakitori
Hey, Dad, where's the sliced cabbage?
Didn't Nagi put it in the fridge?
Wasn't it in the kitchen?
Get a grip, everyone.
We haven't even cut the cabbage yet.
No way!
Hey, Nagi-kun, Sachi-chan.
Helping out again this year?
Good on you.
It's mandatory.
Step right up!
Check us out!
Umino-tei Diner
Original Yakisoba
There, that should do it.
I know we do this every year,
but we sure are fast.
Did you go say hi to the
neighborhood association yet?
No, not yet.
Original Yakisoba
Cotton Candy
Takoyaki
Could you watch the shop? Thanks.
Okay.
Yeah.
By the way, Erika-chan said she'll be
late because she has to get ready.
Mm-hm.
You have to take this more seriously, Onii.
It's my precious weekend.
Plus I was too busy helping Amano-san
last week to do my own studying.
Mom said you're free
once you meet your quota.
Really?!
Umino Family wisdom:
Walls exist to be overcome!
Let's sell, Onii.
Yakisoba
500 yen each
All right!
Shaved Ice
Thanks for waiting.
That'll be 500 yen.
Here you are.
Umino-tei Diner
Original Yakisoba
Three coming up, Onii.
Roger.
Sorry, could we get another
pair of chopsticks?
Yakitori
Cotton Candy
Sure.
Good teamwork.
You're a nice couple.
Sorry.
Here you are.
Thanks.
See you.
Bye-bye.
What are you doing? Be careful.
Hey, Umino-kun?
S-Segawa-san?!
I thought it was you.
Why are you
And your yukata
Does it suit me?
Yes.
My shrine is one of the
sponsors for this festival,
so I'm helping.
How about you?
This is my house.
Wow!
I didn't realize you lived at a diner.
It's just a plain old diner.
Segawa
I'd like to come by sometime.
Please.
I've heard that name.
Segawa Hiro
Are you interested in
so-called "dates"?
The person who went on a date with Onii!
Segawa Hiro
Are you interested in
so-called "dates"?
Hi, who's this?
Oh, she's my sister.
Her name's Sachi.
Nice to meet you, Sachi-san.
I'm Segawa Hiro, from Umino-kun's class.
I've been in your brother's care.
Come on, Sachi, that was rude.
Hey, Sachi!
Sorry. You must be busy.
Sorry, Segawa-san.
Hey, Umino-kun
Would you like to walk
around the festival later?
Yeah!
Okay, see you later.
A date with Segawa-san in a yukata!
I thought we were going
to go with Erika-chan.
I never promised that.
Where'd that come from?
Forget it.
Why are you so mad?
I'm not mad.
Umino-tei Diner
Original Yakisoba
Hello, one yakisoba, please.
Coming up.
Yakisoba
500 yen each
Come on, Onii.
We're never going to reach our
quota if you don't keep up.
You want to go hang out, don't you?
Y-Yeah.
That'll be 500 yen.
Mom, Dad
Please be sure to eat
it before it gets cold.
I can't figure out what my
sister's thinking these days.
You'll love it.
Monshiro-cho Shopping District

She's like Namie-chan when she was younger.
Stop.
Really?
No, really, she's an angel.
Sold Out
You're so cute, Sachi-chan!
You, too.
Thanks for lending me one.
I don't have a yukata, so I appreciate it.
I'm glad, then.
I wanted to make up for all the
trouble over the makeup exam.
It took such a long time to get ready.
Wanna hang out around
here until Mom calls us?
Okay.
Where's Nagi-kun?
I brought one for him, too.
Forget Onii.
Just let him do cleanup.
Okay.
I wish I could have helped out at the shop.
You do?
Meguro Myoujin
We would have sold out
faster if you were there.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Hiro-chan.
Why? Why?
Why are you here?
I could ask you the same thing!
Huh? She's
This is Sachi-chan.
She's my sister.
What?
