Gokusen (2002) s03e05 Episode Script

1
The parent-teacher-student
meetings
will be held today
and tomorrow afternoon,
so that's the end of today's lesson.
Yay
- Let's play darts after lunch.
- Count me in!
Then go bowling after that.
And go to the amusement arcade!
Wait You forgot karaoke.
Okay, let's go!
Kuraki, Honjo, you are having
your meetings today.
Oh I forgot.
But only my mom needs to do it, no?
No.
Guys, I told you, it is a
parent-teacher-student meeting.
The topic we'll discuss will be
what you'll do after graduation.
Have you thought about it?
I haven't thought about it at all.
We have a lot of time
until we graduate.
Of course, you don't have to
decide it now.
Whether you'll continue to study
or find a job,
this is not something that
you can decide easily.
So you have to think about it now.
But I have made up my mind.
What?
Is there something
that you want to do?
Freeter.
There are many jobs
for freeters too.
What kind of job do you want to do?
- Job?
- Yeah.
But "freeter" is a man
who lives freely.
Right?
Idiot, they breed dogs.
What an idiot!
Honjo, that's called a "breeder".
What?
Is that so?
- Idiot.
- Sorry
The parent-teacher-student meeting
will focus on their future courses,
so teachers, please give them
some shrewd advice.
Okay
It happens every time,
but I have a stomachache!
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Mr Baba, you'd get one
if you were a class teacher.
Our class's Ichikawa
is worrying about
whether he'll find a job
or continue to study.
Our class's Kakuta
is worrying about
whether he should choose a
university or a vocational school.
What advice should I give him?
When I was looking for a job,
I was choosing between Akado
and another high school.
I guess you really shouldn't choose
with your hunch.
Oh! I am sorry.
Regarding that, the task should be
easy for you, Miss Yamaguchi.
What?
The options for 3D's students
are limited.
Excuse me, what do you mean?
Are they thinking about
continuing their studies?
It's doubtful whether they will
find a job or not too.
How rude of you!
Before that, it's a problem whether
they can even graduate or not.
I will make them graduate.
It's the job of a teacher!
Well, good luck with that.
My luck is good!
It shut down?
All of them have shut down?
Every single one?
Fight to win!
Wow, you want to be a musician?
Yeah. I want to try my luck
with singing.
Sorry, he just keeps dreaming.
It's okay. Having a dream
is a wonderful thing.
I am a bad guy to the core!
To the core, I am already bad
early in the morning
Treasure your dream as a dream.
You want to find a job?
What kind of job do you want to do?
Whatever job will do.
You must have some preference.
As long as it pays me a salary
of around 500,000 yen,
has summer and winter vacations,
and gives me a million yen bonus,
I don't really care.
Is there a job that fits
his description?
No, perhaps not.
Mrs Kuraki, what do you think
about your son's future courses?
I think it's okay as long as
he does what he wants.
Parents shouldn't interfere.
It's the children's lives, right?
Kuraki! You have a great mother!
Oh, how you flatter me!
It makes me shy when you say that!
Kuraki, what do you want to do?
A charismatic hairdresser, maybe?
- Charismatic?
- Yeah.
Well, calling yourself
charismatic is
No, no! Your hands are not
skillful enough!
In that case, a charismatic sales
person at a boutique would be nice.
- Well, charismatic is
- No, no.
You aren't aggressive enough.
I got it. A charismatic chef.
That's what I will be!
No, no! The food you cook is awful.
She keeps interrupting him.
Or a charismatic idol?
Oh, sorry, Miss Yamaguchi,
I am late!
What were you doing?
I couldn't help it!
I had to deliver the tofu!
Miss Yamaguchi, actually,
my wife's parent has collapsed,
so she went back to Kyushu.
Oh, that must be tough for you!
So I have to run the shop
all on my own.
- I am very sorry!
- It's okay.
Sorry for making you come
when you're so busy.
Oh, have a seat, please.
Miss Yamaguchi, it's the tofu
we make. If you don't mind
Oh, thank you!
I will accept it, then.
Thank you for the tofu.
After you've tried ours,
you won't eat any other tofu.
Okay, Honjo. Will you take over
the business?
Of course I won't take over
that shabby shop!
"Shabby shop"?
The tofu only costs 100 or 200 yen,
I am not bowing to people for that.
Honjo!
I am not letting you
take over, jerk!
What? That's excellent!
If someone who doesn't know what
good tofu tastes like takes over,
I'd rather close it down
when I retire!
It will go bankrupt before that!
How dare you!
What did you say?
Anyway, both of you!
Please calm down.
I am going to be a freeter!
There is no way you can
breed dogs! My goodness!
You are dealing with lives.
You can't do the job just because
you think they are cute!
Excuse me, Mr Honjo, I think
you actually mean "breeder".
What Oh, is that so?
Yes, it is.
I guess Honjo and his dad
are the perfect example of
like father, like son.
But still, I have no idea what the
students think about their future.
They also make light of working too.
I guess that's what
high school students are like.
This Takoyaki tastes different
from the usual.
You can tell? I added something
to enhance the flavor.
And I used another kind
of octopus as well.
But the price doesn't change.
Tetsu, Minoru, amazing!
How nice of you to do this
to make the customers happy!
This is the attitude you should have
when you work!
Missy
Please continue to
improve yourselves.
Yes, Missy
Minoru,
for Missy, I'll be Japan's best
No, the world's best Takoyaki cook!
Hello, Miss Takano?
What? You're having a drink
with Dr Natsume?
Of course I'm coming!
See you later.
Tetsu, Minoru.
I'll be home late
No.
Perhaps I will come home
the next morning!
Minoru, let's call it a day.
What? I thought you were going to be
the world's best Takoyaki cook?
Don't complain.
Just tidy up the things.
Your firm tofu and fried tofu.
265 yen, please.
- 265 yen here.
- Okay.
- Yes, 265 yen. Thank you very much!
- Thank you.
Kengo!
I'm delivering some tofu,
please look after the shop.
Oh, sorry, I promised my friends
I'd hang out with them.
What? Your mom isn't home,
so you have to look after the shop.
Sorry, I'll help next time.
Hey! Goodness me!
Dr Natsume is so late.
Why did an urgent patient come
at this time?
But anyway, why is Mr Baba here?
Wow, the monkfish liver
is delicious!
Excuse me, two more
monkfish livers, please.
Okay.
Big Bro, we should go!
Missy will be angry
if she finds out!
- Keep quiet.
- Sorry, Big Bro.
Big Bro!
Sorry I'm late.
Dr Natsume! We've been
waiting for you!
I thought you weren't
going to come.
Mr Sawatari
I bumped into him on my way here,
so I invited him.
Why did you do something
so needless?
I think it's nice to socialize with
the teachers from time to time,
so let's forget formalities tonight.
We'll split the check.
- Socialize?
- It's not necessary.
Oh?
Thanks for the other day. You are
Tetsu and Minoru, right?
Mr Natsume, you know them?
Miss Yamaguchi told me that they are
her family's Takoyaki cooks.
What? Miss Yamaguchi
Oh, well They
Well
He is so cool!
He is so cute!
Why don't you join us,
if you don't mind?
No
Well We
Yeah, I don't think we should
have a drink together.
Yeah, it would be a nuisance to them
if we make them join us.
Of course not! Come
and have a drink with us!
Come sit with us
Come on.
Idiots I'll give them what for
when we get home!
My dad keeps nagging me
to take over the shop!
But it must be tough for your dad
to run it on his own.
Why don't you help him
from time to time?
No kidding!
Ow
I did that?
You jerks!
Bon appetit
It's so good
It's delicious!
It didn't occur to me that
you were Yankumi's students.
It is such a small world!
Come whenever you're hungry.
I will feed you till you're stuffed.
Feel free to come anytime.
Thank you
Mr Kumai, how amazing of you
to take over
your dad's restaurant right after
you graduated from high school.
And your wife is gorgeous.
Their baby will be born soon too.
Honjo, you should just
take over your dad's shop!
The job at the tofu shop
is too tough for me to do!
I have to wake up
at four in the morning. Four!
- Wow
- It's too tough.
But I guess your dad
must want you to take over.
Well I doubt it.
I love it.
There you go.
Thanks.
Oh, I didn't know your family runs
a Takoyaki stall, Miss Yamaguchi.
Can I go sometime?
No
Minoru, why did you want to
become a Takoyaki cook?
Well, actually, I am not
a Takoyaki cook,
I'm the Oedo Family's
The Oedo Family?
Sorry, Big Bro.
Tetsu, you are wonderful!
Minoru, you are so cute!
Somehow the four of them
seem to get along.
What
I think they'll become couples
at this rate.
Couples
Missy
No. Absolutely not
I don't think someone as scary as
him is good enough for Ms Ayukawa.
Right, Mr Natsume?
He's not good enough at all.
Oh, but guys who look a bit bad
are my type!
Miss Takano, I think you should
give up too.
He is insensitive and gluttonous.
But Minoru looks exactly like Lucky.
Lucky
Oh, Lucky is the Chow Chow
I had in the past.
Chow Chow
Yes!
- This is Lucky.
- Oh
You see?
If you get in my way again,
I won't let you off easily
Lucky.
Missy!
Sorry, Missy.
You should apologize too
Lucky.
Oh, please give me a break!
Why are they calling him Lucky?
Well No idea.
It's Minoru's nickname, perhaps?
But it's pretty Western styled.
Hey, Lucky. It's a nice name, Lucky!
Lucky
- Come here, Lucky!
- Wave at him!
Wave at him, Lucky!
Good boy!
Tell me
Oops!
Dr Natsume?
Yamaguchi speaking.
Oh, thank you for last night.
It's lovely to hear your voice
early in the morning
What?
Honjo's father?
(Natsume General Hospital)
Dad!
What, Dad? You look fine!
It's no big deal, I just felt dizzy.
Oops-a-daisy.
You should lie down
for a bit longer.
Okay.
Your blood pressure is pretty high.
It probably is a transient ischemic
attack due to high blood pressure.
I think you should stay
in the hospital for a while.
Stay in the hospital?
No way! Some of my customers
can't live without my tofu!
You are not young,
just get it treated here.
I'm not young?
- Don't get smart with me!
- Mr Honjo!
Sorry.
If you don't get the disease
treated properly,
the hardening of your arteries
will get worse,
and the risk of having complications
like a stroke will increase.
What?
Hello? What is it, Dad?
Hey Sorry, but will you deposit
some money for me?
- Money?
- Yeah.
300,000 yen. It's on the top shelf.
What?
The money will be withdrawn
next Friday as a payment.
Thanks, son.
And don't tell Mom that
I've been hospitalized.
Actually Well What will happen
if I forget to deposit the money?
Idiot! I can't do business
in that case.
So make sure you remember.
Okay, Dad.
You're joking
It's 50,000 yen short!
Yeah, of course
I spent the 50,000 yen.
This is a disaster!
Part-time?
Yeah, I'll be in big trouble if I
don't get 50,000 yen by next Friday.
Big trouble?
What? Oh The payment amount
for our shop won't be enough.
Can you earn as much as 50,000 yen
in a week?
But I have to do it.
Keep it a secret
from Yankumi, please.
She might tell my dad
if she finds out.
You see, I don't want to
make my dad worry.
- I see. Okay, then.
- Thanks a lot. Bye.
He even has to skip school
to work part-time?
Perhaps it is pretty tough for him.
He can't run the shop
if his dad is hospitalized.
It's expensive to stay
in hospital too.
Will their shop go bankrupt?
If that happens
it would be really bad.
He might
even have to quit school.
What? 740 yen per hour?
Oh Perhaps not. Sorry.
My goodness! How can I work
if the hourly pay is so low?
So we hope you guys
will help us as well.
(Rescue Honjo from crisis!
Fund raising box)
If we all give him some money,
we might manage to get enough.
Guys, please!
Let's help Honjo together.
You are right.
Okay, let's raise some funds.
Let's do it
Let's just count it once.
You don't have to count it.
It's not enough at all.
Okay.
At this rate,
he might have to quit school.
He's noisy,
but it'll make me sad if he's gone.
All right! The only way to settle it
is going to work ourselves!
Yeah We can just go and work.
There are so many of us,
things will work out!
This is a piece of cake!
Guys, let's do it!
Class 3D's "Honjo's Rescue
Urgent Part-time Job Operation"!
Fight on!
Oh? Where are the students?
Sorry, I can't find my son anywhere.
What?
I called his cell phone,
but he didn't answer.
Yeah, my son too.
What are the boys thinking?
They are singing very hard,
please listen to them!
They are singing very hard
Please listen to them!
Please!
It's not enough at all!
- Hey!
- It's my fault?
Why do I have to wash dishes?
What else can we do?
There are not many jobs high school
students can do right away.
Saito.
There are still some stains here.
- You suck.
- You big nose.
Say that again.
What, big nose?
Hey, no
What are you guys doing?
All of you are fired!
Okay
That's all!
That was quicker than I thought.
Wow, this is a piece of cake!
Hey, guys. Move the ones there
after you've finished this pile.
Thanks, guys.
No!
Please take one.
The pile doesn't get any smaller!
And we have to give out
all of those?
Should we just throw them away
at some secret place?
No, you will get into trouble!
Okay, guys
What the heck are you doing?
Goodness me! Why are there only
part-time jobs with low pay? Darn!
I guess that's the only way
to make money.
Hey, Honjo?
Mr Narita!
Long time no see.
Actually, I spent my dad's money.
How much do you need?
50,000 yen.
I'm a moneylender, I can lend you
some if you want.
Seriously?
My lovely junior is in trouble,
of course I can't ignore you.
Take it.
- But It's okay
- Just take it.
Come on.
Thank you.
You saved my life! Thank you!
Will you sign this?
It's still business.
Sure!
(Kengo Honjo)
- Hey!
- Honjo
Guys!
What Why?
Sorry, Yamaguchi found out.
Sorry
They've told me.
You shouldn't have treated me
like a stranger.
You should have told me
that you were in trouble.
WellI can't ask a teacher
for a favor.
All of them worry about you
so much that
they skipped school
to work part-time.
What?
If your shop's situation is bad,
you can't go to school, right?
So we thought we would
lend you some money.
Seriously?
We failed in the end, though.
We thought it would be easy!
Guys, you shouldn't have
Sorry!
But I am not quitting school.
And our shop's situation isn't bad.
What? Is that so?
I spent 50,000 yen
of my dad's money.
- What?
- Seriously?
I thought I would be in trouble if
my dad found out, so I panicked.
But it's okay now.
A senior lent me some money.
Mr Narita was a senior at the club
I joined in middle school,
and he lent me the money.
I did go and look for
a part-time job,
but none of them were any good.
There were some with
low hourly pay,
but it'd take a lot of time
and wouldn't do.
That's true.
We all needed to do hard work
in the part-time jobs we took on.
It's impossible to work, right?
Don't be ridiculous!
Honjo, do you know
what you are doing?
You stole the money your dad worked
very hard to earn. That's horrible!
Yes, I know! That's why I borrowed
money to pay him back
That's not the point!
You didn't even apologize
to your dad,
you're just trying to cover it up!
I'm not covering it up.
In that case, why didn't you go
apologize to your dad first?
It's because
It's okay, right? Honjo knows
that he did something wrong.
It's not unusual that we pilfer
our parents' money, is it?
Don't say something so absurd!
You don't even work very hard
to earn money,
you think you can write off the debt
by putting back the money you spent?
That's not right!
What else can I do?
And whether I borrowed the money or
earned the money, it's the same!
It is not the same.
During our meeting,
you said to your dad,
"The tofu costs only 100 or 200 yen,
I am not bowing for that," right?
Yes.
But your dad bows to his customers.
For you,
and for his family, your dad
grits his teeth and work very hard!
You live in comfort because of that,
don't you?
Not just Honjo. You guys too.
Ogata, whose money did you use
to dye your hair?
Kazama, your sister bought you
that shirt, didn't she?
Ichimura, your shoes; Kuraki, your
satchel and Kamiya, your phone too.
You have all you have because
your parents work so hard.
You guys don't understand
the weight of money,
don't talk like
you know everything!
Shut up.
Shut up!
Hey
Darn!
Who the heck is calling?
Hello?
What, Dad?
Sorry, but please wash the discharge
pipe of the caldron for me.
Oh, and please cool the water
in the water cooler.
Forget about work
while you're in the hospital.
Of course I can't.
If you don't take care of these,
the taste of the tofu will change.
Anyway, please do them for me.
Sure.
Do you know what you are doing?
You stole the money your dad worked
very hard to earn. That's horrible!
If I want some 17-year-olds to
understand the value of money,
am I asking too much?
But still, a high school student
borrowing as much as 50,000 yen
What an awful age this has become!
This is absolutely ridiculous.
When I was young, 100 yen
would make me overjoyed.
Yeah, me too.
I feel sorry for
young people nowadays.
Many things become trendy quickly
and the world is flooded with them.
In this age, to teach them the value
of money and to treasure things,
you have to do it with patience.
Yeah, perhaps.
Okay, then. I will take my time
to teach them that properly.
Hey.
Good morning
Sorry, I have to go somewhere.
You're going to return the money,
aren't you?
I heard that the Narita guy
when lent you money is dangerous.
What?
You'll be in trouble
if you go alone.
Guys
What are they doing?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning
Mr Sawatari!
At this rate, we'll set a bad
example to other teachers,
so I am going to give Miss Yamaguchi
a very serious warning today.
Yes. Now Ms Akagi
isn't at the school,
the only one we can rely on
is you, Mr Sawatari!
That's not really true,
but just watch.
Miss Yamaguchi.
Yes?
I heard that yesterday,
none of your students came to the
parent-teacher-student meetings.
This, no doubt, is because you
don't teach them well enough,
- as a teacher Miss Yamaguchi.
- Hello?
Oh, Kuma?
Kuma?
- What?
- Miss Yamaguchi, I tell you
- Okay.
- Miss Yamaguchi, I tell you
Miss Yamaguchi!
- See?
- Indeed.
I am giving you back
the money I borrowed yesterday.
I don't want to borrow it.
I'm going to return that money
by working to earn it.
Thank you for lending me money.
Hey. What is this nonsense?
I lent you 500,000 yen.
You signed this yourself.
No way
(lent 500,000 yen in cash)
(Kengo Honjo)
No!
The amount of money wasn't written
there when I signed it!
This is absurd!
What?
Honjo, don't pay him that.
Let's go.
Yeah.
You aren't getting out of here.
Darn!
Honjo
Shut the heck up!
Stop!
Honjo!
Honjo! Honjo!
Honjo!
The world is not so easy.
You will pay off your debt.
I can't pay so much.
Then you leave me no choice.
I have to ask your parents
to pay it.
- Don't drag my parents into this!
- Don't move!
Parents are expected to clean up
their children's messes!
Stop beating him up!
Yankumi?
How childish of you to do this
to some high school students!
Who the heck are you?
Me?
I am the boys' class teacher.
Teacher?
Give me back my students.
Unfortunately, this is
part of my job too.
Your job?
I lent this guy some money.
But he wants me to
forget the whole thing
and brought just 50,000 yen to
pay me back.
Honjo, you
But I lent him 500,000 yen.
No! I only borrowed 50,000 yen!
You use a person's weakness
to deceive them and earn money.
You just play dirty tricks.
What did you say?
What you do isn't called a job!
Shut up!
Because there are people like you,
that's why more and more people
don't know the value of money
and make light of their jobs!
Do it!
Honjo, are you okay?
Do you still want to fight?
To protect my lovely students,
I won't go easy on you.
Don't you dare look down on me!
Gosh, you guys were too reckless.
But
I would feel guilty toward Dad
if I didn't return that money.
Is that so?
Hello?
Dr Natsume?
What?
Okay.
Honjo, your dad has snuck out of
the hospital.
What?
The shop!
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, Kengo! And Miss Yamaguchi.
You shouldn't have left the hospital
and force yourself to work.
But they just wouldn't discharge me
from the hospital, so I had to.
Of course they wouldn't!
Your disease hasn't been cured!
Oh, you're so annoying.
I'll feel guilty toward my
customers if I close up for days.
Your circumstances don't matter
when you run a business.
You run it for the customers.
Dad
That's how I have been
running the shop.
Guys
I heard that Honjo's dad
went missing, so we got worried.
I see.
Boys,
you should watch how Honjo's dad
works properly.
This is the attitude you should take
toward your job.
He would rather sacrifice himself
for his job,
and he works with
a responsible attitude.
The way he works gives the money
he earns its value.
- Dad.
- Yeah?
Sorry.
I spent your money.
- What?
- I am really sorry!
I will go to work and pay you back.
You idiot!
Sorry.
I am really sorry.
Hey, don't just stand there,
help me.
Wash the tofu properly
until it's clean!
Okay.
We will help you too.
Do we just wash it?
Oh, thanks, guys.
Kengo, bring the cutting box here.
But, Dad
Go back to the hospital
after you make the tofu.
What? You're so annoying.
Get your disease treated!
If you don't
You really
won't be able to
make tofu forever!
Are you fine with that?
You cheeky kid.
All right, then.
I will return to the hospital.
I will get it treated properly.
Sure.
Come and help me.
How do you do this, Dad?
You have to learn this, okay?
Don't let go. Then put it down.
That's it.
Okay, guys, let's go and help!
Sure
Firm tofu, fried tofu fritter
and fried tofu, right?
- 390 yen, please.
- There you go.
This is your firm tofu.
Thank you.
How about some thick fried tofu?
I'll have one, please.
Thank you so much
One thick fried tofu!
Got it! Thick fried tofu!
Would you like some tofu?
It's super delicious!
- Ma'am, perhaps some fried tofu?
- Come here!
We've delivered the tofu!
We have sold all our tofu too!
Good! All the tofu and tofu fritters
are sold out!
Would you like some tofu?
I think I'll have Mapo tofu today.
Mapo tofu is a good idea.
Sure, thank you
Mr Sawatari and Mr Ushijima
What on earth are you doing?
You should be teaching
a class right now.
Well, we
We're investigating the amount of
consumption of tofu.
This is an extracurricular lesson.
Extracurricular lesson?
Okay, then.
Why do you think it's okay?
Miss Yamaguchi.
I am not letting you off
on this very day.
Oh, no!
Guys
Please take care of the rest!
Hey! Don't run!
I am so sorry!
Wow, this is youth!
You are just showing off!
Do you know what you have done?
You'd better stop dating me.
He wants to protect the person
he loves,
and you're trying to trample
on his feelings.
I am not going to let you do that.
Finally spring has come for Yankumi?
(We are sick of it now)
I don't feel anything for her.
Don't do something so lame!
You really have helped her.
