Kentaro:
No thanks. huh? I'm not going.
Kid 1:
Leave him. He's saying he's not going.
Kid 2:
Let's go! Let's go!
Kid 3:
It's OK, When we get to my house, I'll let you eat.
Godai:
Oh? Pretending to be mature...
"I'm not going," You're gonna regret it later.
Oh shoot, I should've gone with them. I'm sorry Mika-chan... isn't that so?
Kentaro:
"Today I saw kanrinin-san's underwear. I saw them when I went in to pay the rent."
Godai:
Y...you couldn't have!
Kentaro:
Let's see what else?
Godai:
You do have my memo book!
Kentaro:
It's your fault for leaving it lying around!
"Even if it's incidental, I have a feeling something good might happen tomorrow...
Pink lace with rose embroiment and with..." !!!
Souichiro:
"Baw!!"
Kyoko:
Oh, what's this mess about?
Kentaro:
Kanrinin-san, help me! I haven't done anything!
Kyoko:
Godai-san! Don't you think you're acting immature?
Godai:
No, it's just that Kentaro got my...
Kyoko:
Your?
Godai:
Uh... Err...
Kentaro:
You'll know what it's all about once you see this.
Godai:
!!!!!
Kyoko:
What're you doing, Godai-san?
Godai:
Damn... someday, I'm gonna throw his bag with his text books into the garbage can.
Kentaro:
Mom, I'm going to the pool!
Ichinoce:
Hey! Kentaro! You still got homework to do, right?
(Since the summer vacation come in the middle of school year, school children do get
home works over the vacation. I forgot to mention this in episode 10. DS)
Kentaro:
Be quiet, I'll do it later.
Ichinoce:
Damn it... !!!
Ichinoce:
.... Oh... going somewhere?
Kyoko:
Yes.
Kentaro:
See you later.
Kyoko:
I'm going down to the station to pick up Ikuko.
Oh?
Kentaro:
!!.....
Kyoko:
Didn't you go to the pool?
Kentaro:
I didn't have too. Is Ikuko-chan coming over.
Kyoko:
Oh, you knew?
Ikuko:
..... BOO! You're here too, Kentaro-kun?!
Kyoko:
Ikuko-chan!
Ikuko:
Auntie, hello!
Godai:
Phew! So much dusts!
Yotsuya:
Oh my... it's a rare occasion that you're cleaning up in the middle of the summer.
Godai:
I'm tutoring here today. She seems to have her summer vacation homework accumulated.
Yotsuya:
Oh, that's why you're trying to improve the appearence, eh?
Godai:
Don't you even think of talking to her or even peeping while we're studying.
She's fickle to begin with.
Yotsuya:
Yes.
Godai:
Are you listening to me?!
Yotsuya:
Godai-kun, I wonder if it's good for her to see
these kind of pink magazines lying around your room?
Godai:
That's why I'm putting them away right now!
Yotsuya:
Alright! I'll store them in my room.
Godai:
Don't return them while she's around!
Yotsuya:
Hmm, good insight.
Godai:
I know your patterns so well!
(But he still can't control the pattern, can he? DS)
Ikuko:
Oniichan! I'm here!
(You may have noticed Ikuko calling Godai "Oniichan".
It literally means "older brother." But in Japan it's commonly used among friends. DS)
Godai:
!!!
Kyoko:
Ikuko-chan! Don't go into a room without knocking!
Ikuko:
Oops, I was just so happy, so...
Godai:
That was a quick arrival...
Kyoko:
AGH! Yotsuya-san, you made a hole again!
Yotsuya:
No, I'm just returning the books I borrowed from Godai-kun...
Godai:
No, he's lying! He's lying! Yotsuya-san...
Kyoko:
?
Yotsuya:
Natto lunch combo at Mamezou.
(Natto = fermented soy beans - usually eaten marinated with egg,
soy souce and mustard + sliced green onion for added flavor.. DS)
Godai:
OK, OK, I'll treat you tomorrow!
Yotsuya:
And a raw egg?
Godai:
OK, with a raw egg!
Yotsuya:
Thank you for the meal.
Kyoko:
Anyway...
Godai:
Yes!
Kyoko:
Please take good care of her...
Godai:
Trust me!
Kyoko:
Ikuko-chan, study hard.
Ikuko:
Yes!
Godai:
At least her answer sounds convincing...
Ikuko:
Cleaner than I thought.
Godai:
Don't open up things!
Ikuko:
Oh, what's this?! giggle!!
(She must've found some of those magazines that Godai hid.
Or could it be that Yotsuya-san left those magazines close to the crack? DS)
Ichinoce:
Hey, weren't you going to the pool?
Kentaro:
I wonder if I should start studying...
Ichinoce:
Then do it.
Kyoko:
Kentaro-kun, what's wrong, why are you sitting there?
Ichinoce:
Listen, he's saying that he wants to study... the heat must be getting to his head.
Kyoko:
!.. So, you want to study with Ikuko?
Kentaro:
No... not really.
Ichinoce:
So, that's it. Dirty kid! "Smack"
Kentaro:
That's not it!
Kyoko:
Shall I ask?
Kentaro:
I don't really care...
Kyoko:
But...
Kentaro:
It's OK!
Kyoko:
Well, if that's what you want, then fine..
Kentaro:
....
Kyoko:
???
Ikuko:
Hey, have any girls come over to this room?
Godai:
Don't stray off the course from the begining!
Ikuko:
You don't have a girlfriend?
Godai:
That's none of your business!
Ikuko:
You aren't popular, are you?
Godai:
What are you saying? When I was in high school I was! I even got love letters.
Ikuko:
Oh? When was your first kiss?
Godai:
Uh... let's see... That was in grade 11... Are you listening to me?
Kyoko:
Excuse me.
Godai:
!!!!!!
Kyoko:
Kentaro-kun wants to study with you two.
Godai:
Sure, fine with me. I don't care if it's Kentaro, or Souichiro, anyone is welcome!
Kyoko:
Hey, study seriously!
Godai + Ikuko:
YES!.....
Godai:
You cheater!
Ikuko:
hihihi! Let's get started.
Godai:
Hey Kentaro, what are you up to?
Kentaro:
Nothing really...
Ikuko:
Kentaro-kun, you're a pretty quiet kid, aren't you? hehehehe!
Kentaro:
Y...yeah.
Godai:
What's wrong with him?
Ikuko:
Let's see..
Godai:
See? You multiply the bottom by the height.
Ikuko:
Oh, is that it?
Godai:
Are doing anything? Let's see.
Kentaro:
No way!
Godai:
What's with you! Wicked kid... You won't be popular with girls!
Ikuko:
What's wrong? Why don't you let him see it.
Kentaro:
...
Godai:
Ah! You haven't done a thing!
What have you been doing?!!... Did you forget your brain somewhere?!
Kyoko:
Uh... Godai-san, may I come in?
Godai:
Sure.
Kyoko:
I'm leaving for dinner shopping. I was wondering if you have any preference.
Godai:
???
Kyoko:
In return for you seeing Ikuko's studies, I was thinking I could make you dinner.
Godai:
Ka.. kanrinin-san is cooking for me?
Kyoko:
Yes...
Godai:
.... I'm honored!
Ikuko:
Auntie, I'm going, too!
Kyoko:
Oh, are you done with studying?
Ikuko:
Yeah... I'm almost done.
Kyoko:
I see. Kentaro-kun, do you want to come with us?
Kentaro:
Sure!
Ikuko:
Hurry auntie!
Kyoko:
Wait a minute! What about Kentaro-kun?
Ikuko:
He's waiting outside!
Godai:
Kids are lucky... They can get into women's groups easily...
Kentaro:
Why don't you say that you wanna go if you want to...
Godai:
The world of adults is more complicated.
Kentaro:
To put it in short, you don't wanna be seen badly by them, right?
Godai:
... You didn't say that to kanrinin-san, did you?
Kentaro:
About what?
Godai:
That thing.
Kentaro:
Oh, you mean about seeing kanrinin-san's...
Godai:
sssssshhhhhh!! Did you or did you not?
Kentaro:
I did.
Godai:
You traitor! Did you forget the 500 yen I gave you!
Kentaro:
I was joking! I was just kidding!
Godai:
No, you're lying!
Kentaro:
Really not.
Godai:
You told her.
Kentaro:
Souichiro-san help!!
Souichiro:
"Baaw!"
Godai:
Wh..what the hell... Let go of me! Let go of me, Souichiro!
Ikuko:
So who's...
Godai:
Stop it! Let go Souichiro, stop it! Stop it!... Let go! Let go of me!
Kyoko:
What's going on? What are you three men doing?
Godai:
Th..three?
Kentaro:
Kanrinin-san, let's go!
Kyoko:
Right, let's go.
Ikuko:
Huh? Godai-no-Oniichan isn't coming with us?
Kyoko:
Godai-san wouldn't be interested in shopping... right?
Godai:
Er... well... that's true... I have to clean up too, so...
Kentaro:
If you wanted to come, why didn't you say so honestly?
Godai:
Well, the world of adults is really complicated ...wait, you'll see.
Kyoko:
Godai-san!!
Godai:
Y..Yes!
Kyoko:
Do you have any particular request for the menu?
Godai:
Uh... let's see...
Ikuko:
Hey, why don't you cook that one?
Kyoko:
Oh, that?... I wonder if it'll fit my taste...
Ikuko:
Don't worry. It's great.
Godai:
I don't care if it's cow's food or pig's food, if it's your cooking...
Kyoko:
And he thinks that's a complement...
Salegirl:
Yes, can I help you?
Ikuko:
(poke) Hey, let's go!
Kyoko:
Let's see... 500 grams of roast beef and some liver...
And I still have to buy scallion, garlic, oh... and eggs.
(500g beef is just about as much as you can afford to buy... DS)
Godai:
Why do I have the feeling it's gonna be some scary food?
Kyoko:
It's been a while since I've cooked for somebody. It gives me some motivation.
Godai:
Fo..for..somebody?
Kentaro:
To the right! To the right!
Kentaro:
Watch out! (Boom! "Game over")
Ikuko:
Then you're next, Kentaro-kun..... Wow! You're good!
Kentaro:
I played once at a friend's place!
Ikuko:
Wow!! A pair! A pair! A pair! A pair!
(Also, when Ikuko was yelling, "A pair!" in the Arcade,
This is because Kentaro got "duel fighters" in the game "Galaga," remember? DS)
Kyoko:
They seem to be in a good mood all of a sudden...
Ikuko:
Yeah!
Godai + Kentaro:
mhhhhhh..
Souichiro:
"Baw!" !!
Kyoko:
Godai-san, it'll be ready pretty soon.
Godai:
OK.
Kyoko:
egg... egg... oh yeah, leek... liver....
Godai:
She must be in a pretty happy mood...
Uhh... can I give you a hand?
Kyoko:
No, men should sit and wait.
Souichiro in dream:
Kyoko.. Can I give you a hand?...
Kyoko:
No, Souichiro-san, please have a seat and wait.
Kyoko:
mhhh
Godai:
What's so funny?
Kyoko:
Nothing... wait... Any progress in studying?
Godai:
Ikuko-chan, sure, but nothing with Kentaro...
Kyoko:
Kentaro-kun likes Ikuko, doesn't he?
Godai:
I see... that's why...
Kyoko:
Kids of that age tend to get attracted to older girls.
Godai:
It's just about the same thing at any age.
Kyoko:
Ouch...
Godai:
Oh god!
Kyoko:
It's OK...
Godai:
But you're bleeding!
Kyoko:
That's because you said something like that all of a sudden.
Godai:
But it is the same...
Ikuko:
I'm hungry! Auntie is dinner ready? What're you doing?
Godai:
Oh..uh.. Nothing...
Godai:
Wow... Tastes great! Delicious!
Kyoko:
Oh... Alright!
Godai:
It's good, it's really good.
Ikuko:
See, she's good at cooking, right?
Kyoko:
I'm relieved. Please eat as much as you want.
Godai:
Of course... all this for me?...
I'll eat more, Kyoko... this tastes great.
Kyoko:
Godai-san, if this much pleases you, I can cook for you everyday...
Godai:
Th.. then...
Kyoko:
I'm rather inexpeirenced... but if you'd like...
Godai:
....................
Kyoko:
Something wrong?
Godai:
... No, just that it'd be great if I could eat this kind of food everyday.
Ikuko:
Oh, Oniichan, you said just exactly the same thing as Uncle Souichiro!
This was uncle's favorite dish!
Auntie, you were recalling about uncle, right?
Kyoko:
A little...
Godai:
..................
Kyoko:
I'm relieved that you like it. Please have more.
Godai:
Sure...
Ikuko:
I wish I could cook like this for him...
Kentaro:
!!
Kyoko:
Oh, him?
Ikuko:
Yeah, it's just one sided, but he's in a soccer club, he's two years older than me.
He's so cool.
Kentaro:
.........sigh......
Ikuko:
Then see you later, oni-chan, Kentaro-kun!
Ichinoce:
Come again.
Ikuko:
Sure... Kentaro-kun, why don't you come over to my place, someday?
Kentaro:
Alright...
Kyoko:
It's getting late, so...
Ikuko:
Yeah.
Ikuko:
See ya, bye-bye!
Ichinoce:
Eh... Be careful on your way back...
Sigh........
Godai:
Let's go.
Kentaro:
Right.
Souichiro:
Baw!
Godai:
Alright, I'll treat you to a juice.
Kentaro:
Alright, I'll be treated to a juice.
Souichiro:
Baaw!
Godai:
Kentaro....?
Godai:
Men have to go through... lots of hardships.
But don't ever give up... give up your dream.
You know... I think you and I are alike.
Kentaro:
HA! No way you and I are alike! I'm not gonna be a loser like you! Bleeeaahhh!!
Godai:
WHAT?! YOU BRAT! STOP!
Kentaro:
You indecisive guy!
Godai:
Bastard! Then you want me to tell Ikuko-chan about when you wet your futon(bed)?!
(Just a sec.. Kentaro is between 8 and 11, right?
Godai moved in a year and few months ago to Ikkoku-kan... And he knows about Kentaro
wetting his futon probably because he saw the futon "with the world map".
Politer way of describing the wet stain caused by
the premature leakage of urine being dried..
Then really, how old was Kentaro when he did make the mess?..... DS)
Kentaro:
No, Don't! Don't!
Godai:
HA! To you! I'm gonna tell her for sure!
Kentaro:
Then what about the underwear?!
(Well, why do I have a feeling they are fighting at around the same level of mental age?.DS)
Trailer:
I am a widow. Sure, I don't want to forget Souichiro.
But, when Godai took out another woman on a date...
Next episode on MAISON IKKOKU : "Love Scramble - I thought you said you loved me?"
