:08:01
See you.
:08:02
I'll check back with you
at midnight.
:08:05
"...and it tastes just like caviar!
Try it and see!"
:08:09
Next: "Does cucumber with honey
taste like melon...?"
:08:12
Hello, Studio A...
:08:16
Let's tape the Sensei's intro now.
:08:19
We're on break.
:08:24
It's Nokko's manager...
:08:27
Don't keep Sensei waiting!
:08:32
May I get you a drink?
:08:34
I'm fine, thanks.
:08:36
I love your script.
:08:38
Really?
:08:39
I cried.
:08:41
Hear that?
:08:43
Did you cry?
:08:45
I was working.
:08:46
I didn't cry at all.
:08:48
But it's such a great story...
:08:49
That's what you call "great," huh?
:08:52
Is your heroine based on someone?
:08:55
Based on...?
:08:57
On yourself, for example...?
:08:59
Oh, no, I'd never...
:09:01
- Is this your first script?
- Yes.
:09:03
Planning to make a career of this?
:09:05
It just sort of came to me,
actually...
:09:08
'Cause I wouldn't.
:09:10
She was the contest's
one and only entrant.
:09:17
I was?
:09:22
- I'll be back.
- What does Nokko...?
:09:31
I know it's a hell of a thing to ask
at this point...
:09:36
but you know how Senbon Nokko is
when her mind's made up.
:09:41
What can you do?
:09:44
What's she unhappy with?
It rehearsed so well, too...
:09:48
The heroine's name.
:09:50
The name?
:09:52
Apparently
"Ritsuko" brings up bad memories.
:09:55
She had an affair with a married man.
:09:57
It got in the papers...
and the wife's name was "Ritsuko."
