A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e24 Episode Script

So hot.
It's definitely summertime.
Huh?
A letter
That's unusual.
Birthday Party Notice
Seriously?
Birthday Party Notice
Oh, hey, this is such an
adorable invitation letter.
Whose birthday is it for?
Answer me, Nagi-kun!
This would have been amazing
if it was from a cute girl!
What? It's not?
So what are you going to do, Onii?
What else can I do?
He came all the way here to drop
off this giddy invitation letter.

I can't not go.
Happy birthday to me!
Show me your
fish print!
So it was for Papa Yohei's birthday!
Let's go!
Happy birthday, dear Yohei!
You're the Hero
Arena!
Yay!
Happy birthday, Papa Yohei!
Happy birthday, Yohei!
Thanks, Erika.
You don't need to go along
with this, Erika-chan.
Why not?
It's a party. It's fun!
That's not the point.
Oh, right! Gifts!
Forget that, too.
This birthday is of Dad, by Dad, for Dad.
What does that even mean?
Let's raise the roof!
Yay.
Happy birthday, Yohei!
Here you go.
Paella! Awesome!
I figured it'd be a good day to make
something that's not on the menu.
I want karaage.
I want katsudon.
Come on, you two.
The birthday boy cooked for us. It's rude to—
Here you go.
He's being worked to death!
It's fine.
This is how it is every year.
Let's eat.
He's right.
Dad does this every year.
Every year?
I can't believe I'm losing a day of my precious
summer break to my dad's birthday, though
I have entrance exams coming up.
Nom nom
Don't say that! Check this out!
This is my birthday present for the year!
You catch it yourself, make it yourself,
and give it to yourself?!
Aren't you jealous?
So it's true you do everything yourself, huh?
Every year, too.
It's the exact opposite at my place.
Dad's always surrounded by strangers.
So is this for every year, too?
Nagi 3 yrs
Sachi 1 yr
Nagi 3 MOS
Nagi 1 yr
Pregnant with second child!!
Oh, these photos?
We take them every year on Dad's birthday.
Oh, really?
I like this kind of thing.
The family grows, and everyone gets bigger.
Wait Nagi-kun, have you even changed at all?
Huh?! I've grown a lot!
Sorry I kept y'all waiting!
It's time for our main dish!
Holy cow!
Yohei
36 Years
You made the cake yourself, too?!
You're a genius chef!
Oh, stop it, you.
Hang on
Papa Yohei's 36 years old?!
So young!
That's right. I'm just getting started.
Nah, he's old.
I guess
Thanks.
What about Papa Soichiro?
He's 57.
Huh? Hang on
I'm 17, and Dad's 36 today.
That doesn't add up.
Why not?
I mean
He married Mom when he was 19, right?
A shotgun wedding?!
You could say it was a
planned shotgun wedding.
Who cares what order it happened in?
We were planning to get
married eventually anyway.
What a scripted answer.
So there we have it.
Onii was an accident.
Why me?
That would be me, actually.
No, Erika-chan, I mean
It's so complicated because
you were swapped at birth.
Silly Sachi.
Dug her own grave.
So that's how it was, huh?
I was an unplanned pregnancy
and I was swapped at birth!
I have such a unique life!
She's more positive about
it than I thought she'd be.
Phew
Speaking of which, when's your
birthday, Erika-oneechan?
April 6th.
Wow, that's Onii's birthday, too.
Of course it is.
We were swapped the day we were born.
Oh, right.
Of course.
And that's also why you two met on April 6th.
We figured we'd make it happen
on your 17th birthday.
So that's why
the two of us met that day.
By coincidence, too.
You're going to be my boyfriend.
Too bad you're not the one
I'm supposed to marry, Nagi-kun.
My daughter, Erika,
with whom you were mixed up at birth.
Seriously, that was a nightmare birthday.
For me!
Talking about the good old days, huh?
Mom.
I'm here to visit.
Welcome.
Sachi!
Yum.
You have your own!
Oh, come on, I only took one.
What do you think we split it up for?!
It all worked out, huh, Yohei-kun?
Yeah.
Listen
There, there.
So anyway, I know I said a lot back
then, but I think it's all good now.
Back when?
What I said back at the dinner.
So then, we realized
If the two of you got married,
you'd both be our kids.
Remember when I said that?
You don't have to worry about it anymore.
What
At first, we were worried that the two
of you would have to get married,
or we'd never get to meet Erika-chan.
Or that Nagi might go away.
But here you all are.
It isn't really any of our
business as parents, anyway.
What matters the most is that
the two of you are happy.
Wait, were we supposed to say this?
We haven't even consulted with Amano-san.
Why not? It's just talk.
That's true! All good, right?
Right?
I see
These two really are my parents.
Besides, we got married despite
our parents' objections, too.
You did?!
He did say Mom was way out of his league
What happened, exactly?!
All right, that's it for the birthday party.
Time to set up shop!
Just one more song, then!
That's enough!
I never thought Mom and
Dad would say all that.
I wonder what my dad
would say if he found out.
It wouldn't go down easy, I'm sure.
We're family, though, right?
My dad and me.
He might understand if I try to convince him.
Yeah.
Megurogawa Foot Bridge
So does that mean
That's the end of our relationship
for real this time?
Hello?
'Sup, 'sup?! It's me!
Is this a scam call?
It's Shion!
Asoma Shion, dude!
Did I ever give you my number?
Come on, boss, we're besties.
That's not an answer.
Never mind that, just hear me out.
This is big.
What's big?
I was going through Erika-chan's Inusta.
#StudySessions
#Buddies
Looks like she has a study sesh
with Segawa-san every day.
We gotta get in on this!
Bro, I wanna hit up Erika-chan's crib—
Hell no to that.
Study group result announcement!
Umino-kun, all problems correct.
All right!
Erika-chan, all problems incorrect.
No way!
Sachi-chan ran out of time.
But I had calculation problems.
So there we have it.
The winner is me!
She finished faster than me.
You again, Hiro-san?
Let me have some memorization
problems next time.
You have to work on calculation
problems, though, don't you?
You've got the Segawa-san coaching you!
Listen to what she says!
Onii, shut up.
Well, why don't we take a break
from studying and call it snack time?
Yay!
How about you, Erika-chan?
Amano-san?!
Erika-chan!
Erika-chan!
Amano-san!
Erika-chan!
Is it a cold?
She's sweating badly.
What should we do?
Should we go to the hospital together?
Should we call the Hotel King?
I'm fine.
I read online that sleeping is
the best way to cure a cold.
You should get changed first,
then, so you stay warm.
Thanks.
Cold Medicine
Hey, I got some cold medici—
Sorry!
Onii, you creep!
That was inconsiderate.
No guys in the room when a girl's sick.
I-Is that how it's supposed to be?
Are you okay, Erika-chan?
Yeah.
Sorry for causing trouble.
Don't talk like that at a time like this.
You're sick. You have to focus on resting.
And now we commence
Operation: Nursing Erika-chan!
Whoo!
We need to do absolutely everything
we can to get her better.
I'm getting pumped.
I'm going home to gather supplies.
Why do you need to go home
just to take care of her?
I'm going shopping, too.
You, too, Sachi?
Jeez.
I guess I'll study or something,
since I'm just getting in the way.
Sorry for causing trouble.
We're back.
Um
So
I wanted you to drink this.
Sake?
You know how they say sake raises your
body temperature and makes you sweat?
Offering
Sake
Really?
I heard alcohol has
antibiotic properties, too.
So I'd like you to use this
opportunity to take a big swig.
What opportunity?
This is a life-or-death emergency!
You have to drink!
It has to be done!
Drink, Erika-chan!
If you insist
You can't do that. You're underage.
There are other remedies.
Sachi-chan, what are those leeks for?
We're going to the bath house, Erika-onee.
Huh? Now?
That's right.
The one with the sauna.
You're going to have a good
bath and sweat it all out.
And then you'll sweat some more in the
sauna, and then you'll take a cold bath.
It's a recovery speedrun!
Or ascetic training.
But you're both offering, so
I'll give it a shot
Erika-chan!
I offered to make her some rice porridge,
but she said she has no
appetite, so she'll pass.
I asked if I could stay by her, and she
said she didn't want me to catch it.
Erika-chan took the medicine,
but her fever's not coming down.
Maybe it isn't a cold.
I hope it's just heat exhaustion or something.
Umino-kun?
What are you doing?
Nagi-kun? What
Eat up.
What?
I don't have an appetite. I can't eat.

Huh?
"Sorry for causing trouble," my ass.
What is that supposed to mean?
I mean that doesn't sound like you.
You've never said anything like that to me.
That's not true.
Have you ever?
You've always been spoiled
and snappy toward me!
Sachi joined us, and then, over the summer,
Segawa-san started coming over all the time.
The exhaustion must have caught up to you.
You can be surprisingly
attentive to other people.
You ended up sick because you've
been pushing yourself all this time.
You're wrong.
I'm having fun.
I just didn't realize I'm tired
because every day is so fun.
I've never had so much fun.
I didn't know myself at all.
Also, why do you know me better than I do?
Well
We're engaged, aren't we?
I see.
I didn't realize she's been accommodating us.
Seems like it.
But you get it now, don't you?
Those two are definitely engaged.
Tough for you, huh?
You'd better get it in gear, too.
Well, take care, Erika-chan.
Don't push yourself too hard
just because your fever's gone.
Yeah.
Come over anytime.
See you, Segawa-san.
Wanna go back to your room?
Okay.
Later.
I Love Family!!
This must be from Papa Yohei.
There we go.
He brought it all the way here?
Right?
Papa Yohei and Mama Namie were happy that
their family grew when she took this picture.
I was so happy when he
invited me to his birthday.
I feel like I'm actually a part of the family.
Yeah.
Sachi-chan
joined us!
Bought too much♥
For Megurogawa!!
Admittance
Gonna work hard.
Dead asleep
I wonder if I'll have a
family like this someday.
I think that's up to you.
Maybe.
By the way, where'd Sachi go?
I just got invited over.
Don't worry! Sachi.
I see.
Nagi-kun said that, huh?
Yes. "We're engaged, aren't we?"
I felt stupid for taking care
of her all that time.
I'm glad that their relationship
is progressing, though.
Forcing them to live together paid off.
My mom and dad don't seem inclined to
insist they get married anymore, though.
That's what they said to us.
I see.
Are you angry at them
for talking out of turn?
Of course not.
I respect their wishes.
Besides
It's Nagi-kun and Erika who
get to choose in the end.
I'll continue watching from
afar for the time being.
Amano-san!
You didn't wash the dishes properly again.
And who said you could wash my clothes?!
I washed it by hand and
you're still complaining?!
You washed it? By hand?!
Just look at this plate.
It's still got food on it.
You're so nitpicky.
Who are you, my mother-in-law?
Besides, it's too early for
them to leave the nest.
I don't believe it.
How am I engaged to this guy?
That's my line!
Ugh! I can't stand being engaged to you!
