Ichinose:
What's the big hurry?
Kyoko:
If I don't do it now, it'll be a mess to fix at the end of the year.
Ichinose:
You clean everyday. I can't believe there's anything left to clean.
Kentaro:
Is there anything left to burn? The fire is going out.
Kyoko:
This is the last of it. It's heavy.
Kentaro:
Mom, the potatoes should be done.
Ichinose:
Really?

Maison Ikkoku Episode 39
Love is Fought with Guts! Godai's Part-Time Job Operation
Godai:
Is it something important?
Kyoko:
Please find out as much as you can; like what kind of rock it is.
Of course, I'll try and find out myself, but if you could...
Is it too much trouble?
Godai:
No! No trouble at all!
I just don't know if I'll be able to find out anything.
Kyoko:
I don't care how unimportant what you might find out may seem.
If it's just an ordinary rock, then that's all it is.
I doubt I could find out anything myself.
You're the only one I can ask. But... Will you help me?
Godai:
I understand.
Kyoko:
Then, you will?
Godai:
I'll do what I can.
Yotsuya:
May I take a look?
It has the taste of the Paleozoic Era, Ordovician Period.
Godai:
D..Do you know?
Yotsuya:
How should I know? I just wanted to say it.
Kozue:
I found you!
Godai:
Hi.
Kozue:
You've been here all this time? I was waiting at the comics section.
What were you looking at?
Godai:
Nothing really.
Kozue:
Christmas is coming up pretty soon, isn't it?
Godai:
Yeah.
Kozue:
Godai-san, are you short on cash?
I mean, you wanted to meet in a book store after all.
Godai:
No, I just had something to look up.
Kozue:
I see. They're so pretty. And so expensive.
Godai:
And they're really nothing but stones.
Kozue:
Stones? No, I don't want them. I want that. The cat.
I didn't mean I want it for Christmas.
Akemi:
Godai-kun, you'll go, won't you?
Yotsuya:
That would depend on Kanrinin-san.
Godai:
You got it.
Ichinose:
I can't stand it. How can you just admit it like that?
Akemi:
Kanrinin-san is coming for sure.
Godai:
On top of that, so is Mitaka-san.
Yotsuya:
This is the time of Christmas; full of melodic carols and cheer.
The moods escalate, and a storm of love shall crash on Cha-Cha Maru.
This is going to be interesting, right, Godai-kun?
Ichinose:
Why don't you come too?
Akemi:
Okay! It's settled!
Godai:
Ah... One sec...
Akemi:
What is it?
Godai:
How much is it?
Ticket for the party... Gift for Kanrinin-san...
And for Kozue-chan... I can't skip on those.
Godai:
I'm short on money as it is.
Sakamoto:
You idiot. If there was a part-time job that easy, I'd take it.
Godai:
Oh, Sakamoto, you need a part-time job too?
Sakamoto:
I need money for Christmas and New Year's.
Godai:
That's true.
Sakamoto:
I promised my girlfriend I'd take her to Saipan.
Godai:
Saipan?
Sakamoto:
If you want to earn a lot of money quickly, you have to work multi-shifts.
What's wrong, Godai? Does your stomach hurt?
Godai:
I hate you! I hate you! This week is crucial!
Robot:
Galactic Warrior: Bigban!
Boss:
What the hell are you two doing?!
Girl:
Are they gifts?
Godai:
Yes.
Godai:
Sorry, but could you wrap them separately?
Girl:
Do you need cards as well?
Godai:
N..No!
Girl:
What color would you like the ribbon?
Godai:
Green for the broach and red for the bracelet.
Girl:
Thanks for waiting.
Godai:
Uh... Could I have this as well?
Better save some money.
Kanrinin-san! Wait just a second. I'm almost done.
Kyoko:
He knows what it is?
Godai:
One of Sakamoto's upperclassmen specializes in geological survey.
He might be able to find something out.
But don't get your hopes up.
You'll be disappointed if we can't find anything out.
Kyoko:
Not at all.
Godai:
At any rate, we'll know by the time the party starts.
Kyoko:
I hope you can find something out.
Yotsuya:
Godai-kun? Godai-kun? Let's play.
Woah! Kanrinin-san is in her panties!
He's not faking.
Ichinose:
Godai-kun has been pushing himself hard with his part-time work.
Yotsuya:
If he's like this, then the party will be a washout.
Ichinose:
Oh well, let's call it a night.
Akemi:
This is so boring. I'm starting to feel sorry for him.
Yotsuya:
``Expend thine own body for the sake of love.''
``Sleeping as the sea cucumber... your face, cute.''
``Cute.''``Cute, isn't it?'' There's still an extra syllable.
Godai:
See you later!
Kyoko:
Godai-san!
Godai:
Yes!
Kyoko:
Are you going over to the Otonashi's today?
Godai:
Yeah, today is the last tutoring session for this year.
Kyoko:
I'll go over there later then.
Godai:
I'll see you over there then.
Kyoko:
Yes. Please take care of the stone.
I was so excited about it last night.
Godai:
I hope we can find out something.
Kyoko:
Sorry for stopping you. Aren't you in a hurry?
Godai:
No... oh yeah.
Ichinose:
Oh, Godai-kun. Got a date with Kozue-chan?
Godai:
No, I'm seeing Sakamoto.
Ichinose:
I see. And after the date...?
Godai:
Obasan! So, I'll see you later! Bye!
Ichinose:
He ran away!
7 o'clock at Cha-Cha Maru! Don't be late!
Sakamoto:
It doesn't look valuable. It's probably just a rock.
Godai:
Don't you think there's something special in those dots?
Sakamoto:
These? I know!
Godai:
R..Really?
Sakamoto:
They must be rice grains.
Godai:
You idiot!
Sakamoto:
Can I borrow it?
Godai:
Can you find out today?
Sakamoto:
Well, let's say we meet here at 6:30.
Godai:
6:30? I can make it.
Sakamoto:
Thanks.
Godai:
Sakamoto, don't lose, break, or eat that stone!
Sakamoto:
Why would I?
Over:
Tonight is Christmas Eve. A shooting star lit the sky.
Three wise men from the Orient, lead by the star, visited Bethlehem.
Godai:
Kozue-chan. ``Merry Christmas.''
Kozue:
``Merry Christmas.''
Card:
Good for one sweater.
Kozue:
I tried my hardest, but I didn't make it on time.
Sorry, it'll be just a little while longer.
It's so cute!
Godai:
You like it?
Kozue:
Very much!
Mitaka:
Well, I better get going.
Girl:
Coach, are you coming to our party?
Clerk:
Thank you very much.
Mitaka:
Sorry, I already had plans.
I'll be at the New Year's party.
Girl 1:
Who do you have a date with on this important day?
Isn't it Yuko's turn?
Girl 2:
No, it's Tamiko's right?
Girl 1:
It's gotta be Hideo.
Clerk:
That'll be 3850 yen.
Mitaka:
Hey now.
Girl 1:
Who is it?
Mitaka:
Someone you don't know.
Girl 1:
Oh, his favorite.
Both:
Unfair!
Girl:
150 yen is your change sir.
Mitaka:
She doesn't think that way. Bye. But...
Card:
To Otonashi-san
Akemi:
Mitaka-san's gotten a bit carried away, you think?
Ichinose:
It's pretty explicit.
Akemi:
I don't mind it.
Yotsuya:
``Mary's lamb is Christmas.''
Ichinose:
You're early!
Yotsuya:
I called it quits a bit early.
Akemi:
You actually work?
Yotsuya:
That's a secret.
Master:
Akemi-chan, some work for you.
Will you put this on the door?
Sign:
Reserved for today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~-Owner
Man 1:
Hey, Akemi-chan!
Akemi:
You two are early.
Man 1:
We've been restless since noon.
Man 2:
So we might as well wait at Cha-Cha Maru, right?
Men 1:
Hello!
Akemi:
I wonder if it'll snow.
Grandpa Otonashi:
Did you find what you wanted?
Kyoko:
There aren't many books with pictures.
It's so strange. I almost forgot about it.
But now that it's on my mind, it stays there.
Grandpa Otonashi:
It may have been better if you had forgotten.
Sometimes it's better to forget.
Kyoko:
No. I can't do that.
Godai:
All right. That's all for today.
Ikuko:
All right!
Godai:
Ikuko-chan, I got something for you.
Godai:
It's Christmas; so... here you go.
Ikuko:
I wonder what it is. Can I open it?
Godai:
Sure.
Ikuko:
Thanks! I'll put it on my bag!
Godai:
I had trouble deciding.
Ikuko:
I just remembered something funny.
Well, it's about a stone my uncle gave to my aunt.
Godai:
Souichiro-san?
Ikuko:
Yes. A rock about this big with strange white spots on it.
Come to think about it, it's the only present he ever gave her.
Even for a geology teacher, a stone is a weird gift, isn't it?
Godai:
Uh...
Kyoko:
Yes?
Godai:
A..About the stone...
Uh... It's okay. It's nothing.
Mitaka:
Otonashi-san? You've been somewhere?
Kyoko:
Yes. You aren't using your car?
Oh, you'll be drinking, right?
Mitaka:
Are you heading straight to Cha-Cha Maru?
I'll go with you.
Kyoko:
Wait! Godai-san!
Godai:
I'll go get the stone.
Please go ahead without me.
I couldn't give it to her again.
Kid:
Wow, it's snowing! Snow! Snow!
Mama, look! It's snowing!
Mom:
Oh, sorry.
Godai:
It's okay.
Mom:
Ma-kun, bad boy. Say your sorry.
Godai:
It's going to be a great Christmas, huh?
Boy:
Yeah!
Trailer:
Well, there was a mix-up, so I'm going to be a little late.
But I will be there. Could you please tell that to Kanrinin-san?
