Godai:
Oh, well. Might as well dry them at the apartment.
The weather is nice.
It's pretty nice weather, but I'm scared of the drying platform.
Weird guy. What's with that guy?

Maison Ikkoku Episode 22
Shocked Godai-kun! Kyoko-san's Resignation.
Kyoko:
Add water slowly... Oh! Did I add too much?
Godai:
Kanrinin-san!
Kyoko:
Y..Yes! Yes! What is it? Huh? A strange man?
Godai:
Yes. He's a suspicious-looking middle-aged man with sunglasses.
Kyoko:
I'll have a look!
Godai:
K..K..Kanrinin-san!
Godai:
It might be dangerous! What if he's a psychopath?
Kyoko:
It's okay. I'm just having a look. There's nobody here, is there?
Godai:
Huh? Funny... Just a minute!
You, hiding behind the telephone pole! What do you want?!
Hey! Stop! Right, Kanrinin-san?
He's suspicious-looking, right?
He must be a thief or an arsonist.
Kyoko:
Does he look like that?
Godai:
Or maybe an underwear thief.
Godai:
From his appearance, he's gotta be.
Kyoko:
Do you think so?
Godai:
He really looks like a pervert, doesn't he?
Kyoko:
D..Does he?
Godai:
Maybe we should call 911 if he comes again.
Kyoko:
Uh...
Godai:
Yes?
Kyoko:
That's.....my father.
Godai:
Father?! You're joking, right?
Kyoko:
The way he looks from behind... I'm certain. Sorry to trouble you.
Godai:
Uh...I .. I see.
N..No wonder he looked like a really nice gentlemen.
He's got quite good looks for a middle-aged man.
Kyoko:
I wouldn't blame you if you thought he looked suspicious...
...sneaking around like that.
Godai:
There seems to be a complex relationship here.
Godai:
Kozue-chan, have you ever quarreled with your dad?
Kozue:
Huh?! Why'd you ask that?
Godai:
No real reason.
But I just wanted to know what goes on between a father and daughter.
Kozue:
Oh... Papa looks like he doesn't know how to treat me.
Maybe he's embarrassed.
Godai:
Let's say...
Let's say for example...
...a daughter got married despite his opposition.
Kozue:
Y..Yeah.
Godai:
What do you think your father would do?
Kozue:
You don't have to worry about that with my Papa.
He'll get along with you okay.
Papa insists that I bring my boyfriends back home.
He wants to see if they're trustworthy enough to let his daughter go out with them.
Godai:
S..So, let's say he didn't like the guy.
Kozue:
Yeah, right.
Kozue:
The only problem is that we're both too young.
Godai:
Who the heck is she talking about?
Kyoko:
Maybe I should phone. Forget it.
I know they'll say, ``Come home.''
Or ``Get married again.''
I know they will.
[ring ring! ring ring ring! ring ring!]
Kyoko:
Yes. This is Ikkoku-kan. Mom?!
Ritsuko:
Didn't you see your Dad? I heard most of the story.
What? He ran away?
Kyoko:
Thanks to him,I made a fool of myself.
A tenant thought he was a psychopath.
Ritsuko:
A psychopath? Dear, did you lie to me about Kyoko not being there?
Huh? What?
Kyoko:
What're you planning to do?
Ritsuko:
It's hard to say over the phone,so come home Sunday next week.
Come on. You didn't come home on New Year's Day.
All right. We'll be waiting.
Kyoko:
....huh!
Ritsuko:
Now let's hear the reason.
Why did you run away?
Dad:
Come on. At least I saw the apartment.
Ritsuko:
Dear, it's your attitude that's stopping Kyoko from coming back.
Dad:
Why?
Ritsuko:
She got married with you opposing her, so she can't give in.
Dad:
I did it for Kyoko's sake.
Ritsuko:
So, Sunday next week.
Dad:
Geez! Souichiro died right away, remember?!
She should've chosen a fresh young one!
Ritsuko:
Quit talking about things of the past!
If you keep on quibbling, I'll divorce you.
Ritsuko:
R..Ritsuko-san, come on.
Kyoko:
I wonder what kind of face I should put on.
From the looks of it, Dad is still mad.
I guess smiling is the best choice.
Yeah, that's the most harmless way.
Smile like this and...
Kyoko:
...``Dad, I'm home!''
Uh... Uh... Welcome back, Kyoko.
What do you mean by that?
Do you want me to quit my manager position there?
Dad:
To put it simply... yes.
First of all, that kind of old beaten-down apartment...
...isn't the kind of place for a young woman.
Kyoko:
Aren't you taking this a little too far?
It's old, but that's where I work!
Ritsuko:
Kyoko, it's not the appearance of the apartment.
Ritsuko:
The landlord of Ikkoku-kan is Souichiro-san's family, right?
Whether it's work or not...
...you shouldn't be tied in with your dead husband's family.
That's bad.
Kyoko:
Why?
Dad:
More than that, even as a tenant...
...you're living in the same building as a young man.
Kyoko:
Young man? Do you mean Godai-san?
Dad:
I don't care about his name.
I don't want my daughter to get a reputation...
...before she gets married again.
Kyoko:
What kind of logic is that?
Dad:
Come home!
Kyoko:
No! Let me get this straight!
I'm not being manager out of obligation to the Otonashi family!
I like that place. So I'm not quitting.
Dad:
Kyoko, can't you listen to what your parents have to say every once in a while?!
Kyoko:
If you don't like the way I act, why don't we cut our family ties?!
Dad:
Come on, Kyoko.
Ritsuko:
What rude manners. I wonder who she got them from?
Ritsuko:
Anyway, we want you to quit the job at Ikkoku-kan.
Kyoko:
I'm not quitting!
Ritsuko:
I'm not listening.
Dad:
Kyoko, that's very rude behavior!
Kyoko:
I'm not quitting! I'm not quitting!
Ritsuko:
I'm not listening! I'm not listening!
Kyoko:
I'm not quitting!
Ritsuko:
I'm not listening!
Dad:
St..Stop that, both of you.
Ritsuko:
What?!
Kyoko:
What was that, Dad?
Old apartment... Who cares? This is my home.
Yeah! That's right! This is my home!
I better give it my best shot tommorow!
Ichinose:
Oh, you're fixing the platform?
Kyoko:
Yeah. It's just a temporary measure, though.
Godai:
Can I give you a hand?
Kyoko:
It's okay. I want to do it myself.
Ichinose:
It's useless, isn't it?
Godai:
It's rotten from the bottom beams.
Kyoko:
What do you think?
Ichinose:
I guess that does the trick for the time being.
Ah! Not there!
Godai:
Ah! Not there! K..Kanrinin-san!
Kyoko:
I .. I'll call a carpenter.
Ichinose:
Yeah, that would be best.
Kyoko:
It's all right that the apartment is old.
Kyoko:
The residents are nice people in a way.
Akemi:
Eh?! She was hugging Godai-kun on the clothes drying platform?!
Ichinose:
That's right! In broad daylight!
Akemi:
She sure is bold.
Ichinose:
Really!
Kyoko:
Th..They're good about paying the rent.
Yotsuya:
Kanrinin-san...
Kyoko:
Y..Yes!
Yotsuya:
Can you wait on the payment for this month's rent for a while?
Kyoko:
Huh?
Yotsuya:
Do you mind?
Kyoko:
I .. I'll wait. Just for a little while.
Yotsuya:
Thanks.
Kyoko:
Wh..Why? It's like they're timing it on purpose.
I'm not gonna give in.
Sure! I'm used to this kind of thing!
Godai:
What's everybody doing?
Kyoko:
I won't quit. As long as Ikkoku-kan stands...
Godai:
Ah! That's a termite!
Ichinose:
I knew it.
Akemi:
This place is gonna go down pretty soon.
Kyoko:
Are you going to spray this chemical all over the building?
Man:
No. We'll be pouring in the liquid chemical and then paint over it.
Kyoko:
Oh, good.
Akemi:
What's going on this early in the morning?
Ichinose:
The carpenters are here.
What're you people dressed in?!
You're so sloppy.
Godai:
So, they're finally going to fix the clothes drying platform?
Ichinose:
The termite control people are outside.
Godai:
This is going to be a large scale repair.
Ichinose:
She said if you want anything fixed, ask her.
Godai:
All right! I want to have the hole in the wall sealed!
Yotsuya:
Good morning.
Godai:
Please get out of my way!
Yotsuya:
No way. Godai-kun, you're so cold.
Godai:
Why's that?
Yotsuya:
That hole is the only place for an interchange between you and me!
Godai:
To be honest, I want none of that!
Ichinose:
Don't mind them and get on with the repairs.
Yotsuya:
You're such a cruel man, Godai-kun.
You and I have deep trust in each other, don't we?
Godai:
With who?!
Yotsuya:
I went to so much trouble making that hole.
Godai:
It's a violation of my privacy!
Yotsuya:
So you insist on sealing the hole?
Godai:
Yes, I do.
Yotsuya:
Late in the night, I hear Godai-kun's voice.
Oh, what could he be saying?
I listen carefully.
Godai:
``Kyoko-saaan.''
Yotsuya:
I can hear you. ``Hah-Hah-Hah.''
Deep breathing.
Godai:
Yotsuya-san!
Yotsuya:
I look in from the hole.
Yotsuya:
And then.....I couldn't see anything because it was too dark.
Yotsuya:
What could he be doing late at night calling out Kanrinin-san's name?
I wonder.
Godai:
It's none of your business what I do in my room!
Akemi:
What a miserable life he has.
Ichinose:
It's sad, isn't it?
Yotsuya:
I'm telling Kanrinin-san.
Godai:
Go for it.
Yotsuya:
Oh? You're being defiant?
Godai:
I can't keep on giving in to your threats.
Ichinose:
Hey, you two, this isn't a comedy club, you know?
Man:
This is better than a comedy club.
Yotsuya:
You're underestimating me.
Godai-kun is using Kanrinin-san as...
Godai:
No way she could hear that from outside.
Ichinose:
But she can hear it from halfway down the stairs.
Yotsuya:
What's wrong, Godai-kun?
Kyoko:
Godai-san!
Godai:
Yes?
Kyoko:
I'll call the plasterer,so please clean up your room.
Yotsuya:
Kanrinin-san!
Kyoko:
I was thinking of repairing the wall in room number 5 all the time.
Yotsuya:
You're switching around the problem!
The thing we must discuss right now is...
Kyoko:
If we seal the hole you won't be troubled by a strange voice!
Godai:
I have no room to argue.
Kyoko:
Thank you very much!
I guess that does it for a while.
Is there anything else that should be fixed?
This place isn't all that bad.
The termite problem wasn't that serious.
[ring ring! ring ring ring! ring ring!]
Kyoko:
Hello. This is Ikkoku... Oh. It's you, Mom.
Ritsuko:
Come on. Is that how you talk to your mother?
I talked with your father...
...about quitting your job as manager at Ikkoku-kan.
Kyoko:
Just a minute! I told you I'm not quitting.
Ritsuko:
I'm thinking of talking to the landlord.
Kyoko:
Stop it!
Ritsuko:
We're doing this for your sake!
Kyoko:
If you say something weird to the Otonashi's...
...I'll really cut off our family ties!
Remember that! What do they think their daughter is?
Don't understimate me!
Ritsuko:
Don't understimate your parents!
Ichinose:
Hey. Going home now?
Godai:
Yeah. Are you shopping, Obasan?
Ichinose:
Yep. Here's tonight's dinner.
Say, don't you think Kanrinin-san is acting funny?
She's making repairs all over the apartment.
Godai:
That's good news, isn't it?
Ichinose:
But still, it's too sudden.
Godai:
Now that you mention it...
Ichinose:
Right? You think so too, right?
There's something behind this.
Godai:
Like what?
Ichinose:
Hi. We're back. What's wrong, Souichiro?
Oh, you haven't had dinner yet?
Wait. There.
Godai:
Did Kanrinin-san forget to feed him?
Did she go somewhere?
Ichinose:
She must've went to get something repaired again.
Ritsuko:
Excuse me, please.
Ichinose:
Who is it?
Ritsuko:
I am.....Kyoko Otonashi's mother.
I'm here to greet all you tenants.
Ichinose:
All of us tenants?
Yotsuya:
What could it be?
Ritsuko:
Everyone, you've helped Kyoko for a long time.
Thank you very much.
Kyoko Otonashi is retiring from the job of Ikkoku-kan's manager as of today.
Godai:
R..Retiring?
Trailer:
Everyone, thank you for worrying about me. I'm not planning to quit, but...
Next episode on MAISON IKKOKU : "Kyoko-san in Jeopardy! A Frightening Mother's Plot!"
I'll always be the manager of Ikkoku-kan.
