: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."
:10:03
I see...
:10:06
How about it,
can you change it?
:10:12
Gimme a break!
She's had the script for days.
:10:17
Something wrong?
:10:19
Nothing to do with you, Sensei.
:10:22
Nagai?
Hot coffee, please.
:10:28
Hello!
:10:31
- Going okay?
- Well...
:10:32
Sorry I'm late.
The wrap party went long.
:10:37
Here, Cozy Corner's cream puffs.
Let's all have some.
:10:41
Which one'd you buy 'em at?
:10:43
Sensei!
What a pleasure.
:10:46
Please, sit down.
How was the rehearsal?
:10:50
It was wonderful!
:10:51
That's great.
It ought to be a fine show, then.
:10:55
Mr. Horinouchi,
Nokko's manager wants...
:10:57
Can we get started, please?
:10:59
Huh? Wh-Wha...?
