Godai:
Uh...
Kyoko:
Yes?
Godai:
A..About the stone...
Kyoko:
Yes?
Godai:
Uh... It's okay. It's nothing.
Narrator:
A stone was found in Kanrinin-san's room.
Godai was asked by Kyoko to find out what kind of stone it was.
He learned that the stone was Souchiro's first and last gift to Kyoko.
And so...
Godai:
I'll go get the stone.
Please go ahead without me.

Maison Ikkoku Episode 40
Painful Kindness. Expectations of Love at Christmas!
Ichinose:
``Merry Christmas!''
Mitaka:
Isn't the party supposed to start at seven?
Kyoko:
Yes.
Ichinose:
Godai-kun's awful late, isn't he?
Kyoko:
But it's not seven yet.
Yotsuya:
More like it's almost seven.
Ichinose:
What in the heck could he be doing?
Akemi:
Maybe he's not coming so he can save money.
Kyoko:
Don't worry. He'll be here.
Ichinose:
Anyway, let's start drinking.
Master -- beer!
Master:
Sure thing.
Mitaka:
Let's have a drink. ``Merry Christmas.''
Waitres:
Welcome!
Girl 1:
Sorry. Been waiting long?
Girl 2:
It's about time!
Girl 1:
It's snowing like crazy out there. It'll be all over soon.
Where's Yo-chan?
Guy:
She already went to the hotel.
Girl 1:
Do we have any cake?
Girl 2:
She bought it already. Champagne, too.
Want something to drink?
Girl 1:
I'm fine. Let's go.
Godai:
~~~~ Idiot ~~~~
Girl 1:
The only time we can reserve a suite for a party is a time like this.
Girl 2:
Really!
Write:
~~~~~ Big Idiot ~~~~~
Sakamoto:
Hey, Godai!
Godai:
Find out anything?
Sakamoto:
Yep! I did!
Godai:
And?
Sakamoto:
I'll have an American coffee.
Godai:
Hey, Sakamoto!
Sakamoto:
We found something out but I forgot the stone.
Godai:
Is it at your apartment?
Sakamoto:
Nope.
Waitress:
Thanks for waiting.
Sakamoto:
Thanks.
Godai:
Then where...?
Sakamoto:
On a train.
Writing:
~~ Big Idiot ~~
Godai:
On a train?
Sakamoto:
I'm sorry! I apologize! Please forgive me!
Godai:
Oh well... Maybe it's better this way.
Sakamoto:
That's right! It's only a stone!
No point in getting all upset over a stone!
Don't worry. I'll find you one just like it someday.
Official:
That's right. Yeah... Uh-huh...
The inbound train about thirty minutes ago.
Let me see... Hang on a sec...
Whereabout on the train was it?
Sakamoto:
Near the last car.
Official:
Which car?
Sakamoto:
I don't remember.
Godai:
REMEMBER!
Sakamoto:
If I had such a good memory, I wouldn't have forgotten it!
Official:
It's in one of the cars towards the rear.
I see... Thank you.
Nothing there that fits that description.
Sakamoto:
No big loss, right? Right? Let's go!
Official:
If we're talking about the inbound train I'm thinking of...
...it will be coming back from Tokyo soon.
Godai:
You could take a look around the train when it returns.
Sakamoto:
Godai!
Announcer:
Outbound train arriving at platform 8.
Godai:
On the baggage shelf, right?
Sakamoto:
Yeah.
Godai:
Somewhere in this car?
Sakamoto:
Yeah. The stand is over there, so...
Godai:
It's not here.
Sakamoto, you go look around the car in back of us.
I'll look up front.
Sakmoto:
You know...
Godai:
E..Excuse me! Coming through!
Ichinose:
This party is intense!
Yotsuya:
Let's pick up the tempo!
Mitaka:
Otonashi-san...
Akemi:
No way! Come over here!
Mitaka:
W..Wait a minute. Akemi-san...
Akemi:
I can do all kinds of things with Mitaka-san that I can't do with Godai-kun!
Master:
Akemi-chan, can you get the phone? Akemi-chan?
Akemi:
Hello? Oh, Godai-kun?!
Godai:
There's been a little mix-up so I'm gonna be late.
I don't know when......but I'll definitely be there!
Please tell Kanrinin-san!
Akemi:
I'm supposed to tell her, huh?
Don't worry. Nobody here is worried about you. Bye.
Godai:
Uh...
Sakamoto:
The next train is coming!
Kyoko:
Mix-up?
Akemi:
I don't really know what's going on, but that's what he said.
Mitaka:
Worried?
Kyoko:
Yes.
Mitaka:
I see.
Kyoko:
I asked Godai-san to do something for me.
Mitaka:
Oh, really? I see.
Announcer:
Shinjuku station. Shinjuku station.
Sakamoto:
Is that stone really that important?
Godai:
Not to me, but it is to Kanrinin-san.
Drunk:
Hey, are you listening to me, you idiot?!
Godai:
Sakamoto...
Godai:
Do you mind if we try the office just one more time?
I know the chances are a thousand to one but...
Sakamoto:
Sure, no problem.
Official:
We did get a call from Tokyo station. They're holding it there.
Sakamoto:
All right, Godai! I'm starving!
How can they mistake a stone for a chair?
Godai:
That guy has a pretty strong accent.
Sakamoto:
Well, we've got nothing to show for our efforts, but I guess that's that.
We did what we could.
You want me to come with you and apologize for you?
Godai:
Never mind. Sorry to drag you all over the place like this.
Sakamoto:
I guess you owe me lunch.
Godai:
Hey, you...!
Sakamoto:
Just kidding! Don't get so upset!
We've been assuming that if someone found it they'd report it.
It's just a stone. To anyone else it would look worthless.
If it was me who found it, I'd throw it away.
Godai:
!!!!
Sakamoto:
Hey, Godai! Godai! Hey, will you cut it out? Everyone's looking.
Godai:
You go and look, too! Found it!
Sakamoto:
You found it? All right!
Godai:
I found it!
Sakamoto:
All right! Let's get going!
Godai:
Yeah. Hey, stop!
M..M..My bag! Stop! My present!
Sakamoto:
This sucks.
Akemi:
Where do you think you're going?
Ichinose:
Quit running away!
Yotsuya:
Let's party!
Someone:
Hey, Mitaka, you look great with Akemi-chan!
Ichinose:
Let's go!
Master:
Godai's late, isn't he?
Kyoko:
I'm not really... I'm not really...
Ichinose:
What are you doing, Kanrinin-san? Playing at being the lonely widow?
Yotsuya:
Is it because Godai-kun's not here yet?
Akemi:
I'll let you have half of Mitaka-san, so let's have a drink!
Kyoko:
No thanks. Please don't worry and go ahead without me.
Ichinose:
Okay then...
Official:
Oh, it's you guys again!
Godai:
Uh... About my bag...
Official:
We found it. A passenger noticed it.
Let's see... It's at Yotsuya station.
Godai:
Yotsuya?
Sakamoto:
C-Cold! Hot! Hot! Hot!
Sakamoto:
The train hasn't come yet, has it? Oh, hot!
Godai:
Do you mind if I ask a favor?
I don't think I have the strength to go all the way to Yotsuya station.
Sakamoto:
I guess I don't have a choice.
Godai:
Sorry. I'll come and pick it up from you someday.
Sakamoto:
There's nothing that you need right away, is there?
Godai:
No. It doesn't matter anymore.
Maybe I should just skip the party.
Akemi:
Help! Rape! Stop it! Cheek to cheek time?
Mitaka:
You know, pick a time, turn off all the lights...
...and dance cheek to cheek by the light of the Christmas tree.
How's that sound?
Akemi:
Sounds great! I'll talk to Master!
Mitaka:
Thanks.
Man:
Hey, you two! You wouldn't be able to get married.
Mitaka:
It's not what you think.
Akemi:
All we did was sneak a kiss. Just a kiss.
Ichinose:
Oh, it's that serious!
Yotsuya:
You have to take responsibility, you know!
Mitaka:
Akemi-san!
Akemi:
Got ya.
Akemi:
Mitaka-san... Mitaka-san...
Master:
Hello, Cha-Cha Maru.
Master:
Katayama-san? No, he hasn't been here today.
Master:
You're welcome.
Godai:
``...wonderful gift.'' Is it gonna be like this for long?
Driver:
Don't ask me. I have no clue.
Godai:
Can I get off here?
Yotsuya:
What's this for?
Akemi:
It's a secret. Let's cheer up and have a drink!
Ichinose-san, aren't you going to dance?
Ichinose:
If you insist!
Mitaka:
Godai-kun might not be coming.
Kyoko:
Do you really think so?
Mitaka:
Even if he does come, he may not get here in time.
Akemi:
There you are, Mitaka-san.
Mitaka:
Wait a second.
Akemi:
Did we really not do anything?
Mitaka:
What do you mean?
Akemi:
I mean...
Yotsuya:
Godai-kun, you're late!
Akemi:
So, who were you playing around with?
Ichinose:
A triple will make a good start.
Yotsuya:
We've been waiting for you.
Godai:
Were you really waiting?
Akemi:
Of course! You're the best party favor that we have!
Godai:
The stone is made of limestone.
The white spots are fossils of insects called fuzlina.
About three hundred million years ago each of these dots were alive.
I don't think it's just a stone.
It was a wonderful gift.
Godai:
I..Godai.
Mitaka:
Otonashi-san...
Akemi:
You're good, aren't you?
Yotsuya:
I am not letting you go home tonight.
Oh, you're so forceful!
Kyoko:
Godai-san!
Godai:
Kanrinin-san...
Kyoko:
Godai-san! What's wrong?
Godai:
Nothing. I'm fine.
What about you, Kanrinin-san?
Kyoko:
Because you left so suddenly... That stone...
You knew that stone was a present from Souichiro-san, didn't you?
Godai:
I heard it from Ikuko-chan.
Kyoko:
I... While I was waiting for you......I got so nervous.
If I'm going to feel like this...
If I'm going to feel like this......I shouldn't have asked.
I don't know if I can explain how I feel.
Godai:
It's okay. Let's go home.
Kyoko:
Okay. I'll treasure this card.
Godai:
Can we take the long way back?
Kyoko:
Sure.
Trailer:
Obasan! We'll be traveling. Ah! Let's party! Let's party!
Since it's New Year's? Since we're at a hot spring.
