In the dining room at Kozue Nanao's house
Kozue's parents are very happy to see Godai.
Kozue's little brother, Yousuke, munches away without saying a word for once.
Kozue's mother:
We *really* haven't seen you for a long time Godai-san.
Kozue's father:
Kozue, if you don't invite him more often, he won't come.
Kozue: [to Godai]
Really, it's been a long time since you came over for dinner.
Godai: [smiles nervously]
I, indeed......
Kozue's father:
By the way, Godai-kun,
where do you think you're gonna find a job?
Godai:
Well.... You see, I don't think that much about it....
I'm still only in 3rd year....
Kozue's mother:
But about this time next year,looking for a job will be a serious matter.
Kozue's father:
As she says, you'd best start thinking about it.
Kozue's father:
Isn't there something you want to do or some special talent that you have?
Godai:
Well...
[Day Dream mode activated! ...]
Godai: [face to face with Kyoko and holding her hands]
Something I want to do...
Kyoko-san, I've graduated, let's get married.
Kyoko:
OK.
Kozue's father: [smiling]
I'll be entrusting you with my precious daughter, so you'll need to be steadfast.
Godai:
Hunh...?
[... Day Dream mode deactivated!]
Kozue's mother:
Ohhh, Father, you'll frighten Godai speaking like that.
Kozue's father:
But you know, as soon as you graduate it's time to get married.
Kozue:
Please, Dad, cut it out!
Godai: [nervously]
Ahahahaha hahahaha hahahaha.
Godai and Kozue stand alone at the front door.
It is dark outside, and the light from inside seeps out.
Kozue: [waves goodbye]
So. I'll see you at the movie the day after tomorrow.
Godai:
Thanks for the meal.
The wind blows as Godai walks home alone. He clutches his jacket closed to keep warm.
Godai:
(n)All of a sudden I'm in too deep, even though I haven't even kissed her yet.
A front view of Ikkoku-kan, with some buildings in the background.
Godai:
I'm home!!
Akemi is using Godai's futon and rests her head on the pillow.
Like a snake or a moray eel, Yotsuya pops up from his hole.
Yotsuya:
Tonight's dinner was fried shrimp...sniff
Godai:
Knock it off!! You're so disgusting!
Kyoko:
Yes? Come in! I cooked little too much. Would you like have some?
Godai:
Oh, Thank you!
Yotsuya:
What are you talking about, Godai-kun?
Akemi:
Didn't ya stuff yourself at Kozue-chan's place after the date?
Godai:
Hey!...
Yotsuya:
What a nice aroma.
Godai:
What's wrong?
Akemi:
It's the truth after all, isn't it?
Kyoko:
I suppose you can't eat if you're stuffed.
Yotsuya-san and Akemi-san, help yourself.
Godai: [looks desperate]
B..but....
Yotsuya:
Godai-kun. Good thing. It's fried shrimp again.
Akemi:
You really need to fall to the dead bottom once.
Yotsuya:
That's true. Why don't you switch over to Kozue-chan?
Godai:
None of your business!
Akemi:
I feel really sorry for Kozue-chan..
Keeps on dragging on the expectation.
Yotsuya:
My taste are wonderful.
Akemi-san and I humbly thank you.
Godai:
grrrr!!!!!!

Maison Ikkoku Episode 42
Godai-kun Broken Bone! Chance of Love in Hospital Room!
Godai and Kozue are walking together in a park.
Godai:
That's seven times! It's record! I'm not gonna lose!
Kozue:
It's so warm. I love winter.
Godai:
Because there's roast potato?
Kozue:
That's for one.
Godai:
You feel like melting in summer, but there's tension in winter, isn't there?
Kozue:
That's over once you're in kotatsu though.
Godai:
That's right.
Kozue:
I prefer the heater in winter over the summer's air conditioning.
Say, can I take your arm?
Godai:
(n) It feels better in winter to do this than summer, too.
Godai:
Is there piece of potato on my face?
Kozue:
No, I thought you look cute.
[Flashback mode activated! ...]
Kozue: [pulling Godai by the arm]
Come on, Godai-san!!
Let's go to my house for dinner.
Godai:
Wouldn't I be imposing...?
[... Flashback mode deactivated!]
Godai:
(n) I missed the timing to break up with Kozue....
(on arriving, he sees Kyoko sweeping the entrance, even in such cold weather...)
Godai tries to get inside without being noticed.
Kyoko: [without turning around]
Welcome home!
Godai:
I...I'm back....
Kyoko:
Did you quarrel with Kozue-san? You look depressed.
Godai:
Do I look like that?
Kyoko:
As they say, to fight is a sign of good relation. Right, Souichiro-san?
Come on, Souichiro-san..
[Godai and Sakamoto are sitting together, having lunch at the crowded college cafeteria]
Sakamoto:
That's... the best way is to make you hate her.
Godai:
Really?
Sakamoto:
That's the only way to split up without hurting her.
For instance, you could try acting like a pervert.
Godai: [pours hot water into his cup ]
A pervert, I see...
Sakamoto:
Do you have any experience in acting?
Godai:
This won't do...it will show my indecisiveness.
Sakamoto:
So there's possibility you might draw sympathy...
Then, utilize the short comings straight.
Godai:
Like what? (must find a more direct approach)
Sakamoto:
Show her you drunk silly. Neck with some other girl..
Do what you usually do in front of kanrinin-san.
Piece of cake, isn't it, Godai?
[Dream scene mode activated! ...]
Kozue looks worriedly at Godai as he sits on the ground next to a
garbage can and holds a bottle up high. `dehehe', Drunken laughter.
(n) I could openly flirt with another woman in front of her...
Kozue stares at the sight of Godai standing with his arm around Akemi's shoulder.
Aren't these exactly the things I do in front of kanrinin-san?
A drunken Godai sweeps Kyoko off her feet.
Left: A rather dippy-looking Kozue latches onto Godai's arm, while a sweating Kyoko
looks on. (Ikkoku-kan in the background.)
Right, bottom: Kyoko berates Godai for his behavior at the pub where he was working
Kyoko:
You're being made to look like a fool because you're not standing up for yourself!
Godai:
I understand...
[... Dream scene mode deactivated!]
Godai:[stands straight, and clenches his fists ]
Anyhow, I have to do something......
View of a window of Ikkoku-kan at night.
[ring ring! ring ring ring! ring ring!]
Kyoko: [She knocks at the door]
Godai-san! Phone call from Kozue-san!
Godai:
Ah, okay!
(Godai opens his door......while Kyoko flees away.
Godai runs down the stairs......but can't catch Kyoko,
who just turned at the corner. She bangs her door......
leaving Godai speechless as he reaches the phone... YK)
Godai:
Hello? There's something important I want to tell you...
.... Tomorrow? Ok Sure.. Fine with me.
Ichinose listening intently from her door [Shortly afterwards, Ichinose visits Kyoko.
Ichinose:
He's gonna talk something important to Kozue-chan.
Kyoko: [takes off her apron]
You eavesdropped on him again?
Ichinose:
I wonder what he wants to talk about..
Kyoko: [feigns indifference]
err.. it's no concern of mine.
Ichinose: [pulls out a cigarette]
Propose maybe?
Kyoko: [her hair swishes as she turns to Ichinose with a look of shock]
No way.
A strained silence. See her sweat.
Ichinose stares at Kyoko, as she lights up for a smoke.
Kyoko tries to back out of the corner she's put herself into...
Kyoko:
You know, he's still a student and...
Ichinose:
Then, about splitting up? They quarreled after all. After all?
Kyoko:
Nooo way....
He came home depressed after date with Kozue-san, yesterday.
So I told him to fight is a sign of good relation.
Ichinose:
That's gotta be it. You're still being hard on Godai-kun, aren't you?
Kyoko:
........
Ichinose:
Even if he does break up with Kozue-chan,
that doesn't mean he'll suddenly have your affection.
What a pity......
Kyoko:
Doesn't that show he hasn't necessarily decided to break up?
Akemi is with Kyoko, who is standing to the side of the walkway and holding her broom the next day.
Kyoko:
Good morning.
Akemi:
The ceiling in my room is leaking. I can't stand it anymore.
Kyoko:
All right, I'll fix it today.
Godai: [comes out]
I'm going. See you later..
Kyoko:
Ah, see you later!
Akemi:
He looks gloomy, doesn't he?
Kyoko:
(n) Can it be...That he wants to break up.....Is it because of me?
Walking along a street.
Godai:
If we get into soft atmosphere, I won't be able to go through with it.
After all, I am going to talk about splitting up.....
(n)I have this bad habit of putting on a smiling front...Must be careful about that...
Godai pinches his cheek, `nyo' punishing his face for betraying him.
Kozue:
Godai-san, over here!!
Godai:
(n) Oh no, I can't smile, if I smile...
Godai:
Umm, well Kozue-chan, you know, today, ahhh...
Kozue: [smiling]
What is it...?
Godai:
(n) Please don't show me such a blissful such a happy looking face looking face...
I'm going to tell you something terrrrrible...
[Dream scene mode activated! ...]
Kozue:
Oh no! (Kozue's obviously very upset; she begins to cry. YK)
[... Dream scene mode deactivated!]
Godai:
....uh
Waiter:
Welcome.
Godai:
Can I have a black coffee?
Waiter:
Sure!
Godai:
(n) Can't cry now, but in my delusion I felt so sad for her.
Kozue:
What's wrong?... You're acting funny.
arh... do you like blue?
Godai:
What? ?.. Sure, I do..but....
Kozue:
Oh, that's great! There you go! It's been a while since Christmas..
I knit it with my heart and soul.
Godai:
Wha...
Kozue:
Can you try the sweater on?
Godai:
(n) I can't take it....
Kozue:
You don't seem to like it?
Godai:
Of course I do! Thank you.
Kozue:
Really? Oh, I'm so happy!
Godai:
In the end, I couldn't say it...
Kyoko:
You're back...
Godai:
Oh... Hi..
Kyoko:
Oh, that sweater....
Godai:
Huh? Oh...
Kyoko:
That's Kozue-san's hand knitting, isn't it?
Godai:
Y..Yes...
Kyoko:
.......
Godai:
Wh..why did she ignore me?!
[Arriving at his room, Godai throws down his jacket in disgust]
Godai:
Kyoko, Damn You!!!
`DON' Something thuds on the ceiling above and a cloud of dust rains down.
Kyoko must have hit the roof with her hammer.
Godai: [surprised]
What...? can't be......
Godai slides open his window.
He looks out the window and sees Kyoko looking down at him from the edge of the roof.
Godai:
Ka... kanrinin-san, what're you doing there?
Kyoko:
I was fixing the roof.
Godai-san, did you say, Damn You? I'm sure of that!
Godai:
........ .......... ........
Why are you asking! Don't you know yourself?
Kyoko: [looks away indignantly]
I don't and don't worry about it.
Godai:
OK then, no later than today, I will make things clear for you.
Do you want to tell me what you think of me?!!!
Kyoko: [A bit taken aback and speechless]
........ Wh..what do you mean...
Wait. Did Yotsuya-san do something again?
Godai:
If I mean nothing to you then stop being jealous!!
It's alright. It's really nothing.
Kyoko:
No, it's not. I'm manager of this place.
So.. it's OK. Wh..when was *I* jealous...?
Godai:
Actually... Actually today...
I was thinking of breaking it off with Kozue-chan you know...
On his knees with fist clenched, he still has trouble getting out these words.
Kyoko:
Well then, why did you come back with her sweater?!
Godai:
I can't tell this to kanrinin-san. Could I refuse!?
Ichinose and Akemi are in Ichinose's room, and having snacks at the table.
The argument going on upstairs is loud and clear.
Akemi:
They don't seem to care if others hear them up there or not.
Ichinose:
Everybody in the neighbourhood can hear.
Godai:
Kanrinin-san, you've also knitted things to give to people, haven't you!?
Kozue-chan, for sure, while knitting this was remembering the good times,
and felt like she was bringing them back......
I really think she felt this way when she was knitting.
And I could not trample such feelings!!
Kyoko:
Enough already!
Godai:
Besides, there's no point in telling you..
Kyoko:
Why?.. You ASShole!
Godai angrily shuts his window.
Kyoko:
Don't know him any more! He's so wishy-washy!
Kyoko walks on the roof when...
Kyoko:
Ah...!...
[she suddenly slides......down to the edge...]
........ ........
[where she hangs hopelessly, with her legs dangling.
She struggles to pull herself up but ends up sliding further
...until she's dangling by her fingertips]
Kyoko: [Looks around nervously]
Wh...What should I do?.. [now]?
Th..this is bad, I can't really call for help can I, because of Godai-san...)
Godai sits down on his futon. He looks drained.
Godai:
I finally said it... It's all over...
A cacophony of squeaks and groans from the sagging eaves outside penetrates the room.
Godai climbs onto his desk and, so he pulls back the curtain. Window slides open.
Godai rushes outside...and sees Kyoko in a bad posture.
Godai:
Ka-! Kanrinin-san! I'll get you out of there!
Kyoko:
No thank you! Sure, I'm incapable manager!
Godai:
Wha, what are you talking about?
Kyoko: [shaking]
I'm OK... I won't bother tenants with my own trouble!
Godai:
Slide along the gutter while I support you....
This is no place to persist in your bad mood!!
Kyoko grimaces, trying to hold on to the gutter as best she can.
But part of this is also her remaining anger at Godai.
[`baki', The gutter suddenly breaks...]
Kyoko:
Waah!
Godai:
Ungh!
Godai barely grasp her shoulder..but are still able to pull Kyoko in.
He lays her on the desk.
Godai: [Breathing heavily]
haa haa haa haa! `sigh'!
Godai tries to regain some energy. A poignant silence. Godai then stares at her.
Kyoko looks surprised and worried about this angry glare from Godai.
Godai:
You idiot!! Why didn't you call for help!!
Kyoko: [tears brimming in her eyes]
I don't need excuse! On half rotten drainspout...
Godai:
Then how long were you going to hang from that rotten gutter of this decrepit apartment?
As he walked towards the little balcony, it just breaks!
Kyoko:
Go..Godai-san!...
Godai's adrenaline is pumping up as he realizes how far he is from the ground.
Godai reaches the edge of the window......as the balcony crashes down below.
Kyoko has held Godai by his right arm!
But he can only grab onto the edge of the window by his fingertips.
Kyoko:
Hang on Godai-san! I'll pull you up...Please, someone!!
The edge of the window breaks!
Kyoko + Godai:
Ah!...
Godai:
(n) ....and so our first big quarrel was left unresolved and I felt relieved......
[In the yard below Godai's window, Godai lies on the impact site.
Ichinose and Akemi have come out to see what happened]
Kyoko: [crying profusely]
Waah! Godai-san, please forgive me! please forgive me!
Godai: [with tears of pain]
I..I got the message. Please, stop shaking me..... Ouch! Ouch!
Akemi:
Did kanrinin-san push him off the roof?
Ichinose: [playing with Godai's ankle]
Hmm. His foot seems broken.
[General Hospital of Tokeisaka]
Godai:
(n) It's been 3 days since I broke my leg..
Godai is lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.
Godai:
(n) Will she come today...?
Ichinose: [comes into the room carrying flowers]
Hey, There you are?
Godai:
Obasan...
Ichinose is lifting the covers off Godai's foot and looking at the cast.
Ichinose:
What, they haven't taken the cast off yet?
Godai:
It's only been three days...
Ichinose hands Godai some flowers
Ichinose:
This is from kanrinin-san.
Godai:
Just flowers? What about herself?
Ichinose:
Well, she's busy with various things...
Ichinose:
Besides, it seems she can't face you.
Ichinose lights a cigarette. Godai looks concerned
Godai:
Really...
Ichinose:
She's completely depressed, you know.
She thinks it's her fault that you broke your leg.
[Flashback mode activated! ...]
Godai: (narrating)
[Godai leans out and grabs Kyoko as the eaves give way.]
Well, for sure, what happened was this,
Pulls her into the balcony.
Then starts his own descent.
and the other...
To end up crumpled on the ground.
[... Flashback mode deactivated!]
Godai:
These are the facts, I know...
[Flashback mode again activated! ...]
Kyoko, in flashback:
Godai-san,
Please forgive me!!
Please forgive me!!
Godai's inner voice:
At that time, I thought...
I've got it made now.
I thought this opportunity could lead to....
[At the bedside, Kyoko spoon-feeds Godai]
This, Godai and Kyoko hold hands as they look into each other's eyes.
that, Kyoko and Godai embrace. and, given time to.....the other...
[... Flashback mode deactivated!]
Godai: [Looking into knee in pajama. How painful of my own act]
At least she could pay me a visit......
Ichinose:
It's not at all.
After all she panicked, she did all the admission works,
got your preparation of your changing clothes, and even contacted your home.
and she did take care of everything.
View of the top of Ikkoku-kan and the sky.
View shifts to Godai's room's window,
where he fell off, and shows the broken sill.
The broken frame of the balcony is still on the ground.
Kyoko is looking at the frame and reflecting upon the events.
Kyoko:
If I had only asked for his help back then...
No, even before that, If I hadn't been so jealous over Kozue-chan...
She reflects on the scene where Godai slaps her.
.........But..
Akemi:
...rinin-san, Kanrinin-san!
Kyoko:
Eh?
Akemi:
Couldn't you hear me? I've been calling you for a long time.
The carpenters showed up.
Kyoko:
Ah, s..sorry...
Carpenters are working on the roof and balcony.
Kyoko is answering the pink phone
Kyoko:
Oh, really? Yes...
Kyoko hangs up the phone. Ichinose comes in the entrance.
Ichinose:
I'm back...
Kyoko rushes over and puts her hands together.
Kyoko:
Ichinose-san... How was he? What's Godai-san's condition......?
Ichinose:
You know. If you're so concerned about it, why don't you go see him once?
Kyoko:
But...
Ichinose drinks some sake while Kyoko looks down sadly.
Ichinose:
Yes, I know... I understand you're too ashamed to meet him after that big fight, but still...
Kyoko:
He must hate me.
Ichinose:
Actually...
Kyoko:
It's only natural. It was me who started this fight......
Kyoko with head still bowed while Ichinose looks over her shoulder at us, a bit impatiently.
Kyoko:
I'm sure Godai-san doesn't even want to see my face.
Ichinose:
(n) How the heck does she come up with such twisted logic?...
Ichinose, now with a cigarette in her mouth, is still looking away in disgust.
Ichinose:
If you want to make amends, how about taking care of him...?
Kyoko:
After 4 or 5 days, his cousin who lives in Tokyo will come...
Kyoko:
That's what his parents told me...
Ichinose:
Ah-hah, the phone call you just got...
Kyoko demurely turns her head aside to avoid Ichinose's probing eyes.
Ichinose:
At least you have some time until the cousin comes...
Kyoko:
But...
[At the hospital]
Akemi:
Here, some flowers and a cake from Kanrinin-san.
Look at the face of poor little Godai doggy.
Akemi:
Cheer up will ya.
Akemi: [Looking around the room.]
Pretty luxurious, huh?
Yotsuya: [Impressed by the size of the room.]
Very true... To be all alone in such a room.....
Akemi: [Digging Godai's shoulder.]
You lucky guy!
Godai:
Don't see how...
Godai: [With poor doggie eyes.]
She's not coming today, either......
Akemi: [Naturally extending her arm into the cake box.]
You mean kanrinin-san? No, probably not...
Godai:
She could at least deliver her own things.
Yotsuya: [Peeping at the cake.]
Ohhh, this looks delicious.
Akemi: [Scoffing a piece of cake.]
Oh, yeah, I heard your cousin is coming to take care of you......
Godai: [Widening his eyes.]
My cousin...?
Godai is thinking with finger at mouth, while Akemi and Yotsuya help themselves to the cake.
Godai:
The only cousin living in Tokyo that I know of...
Would have to be Akira.
Akemi:
Hey, don't eat the blueberry pie, it's my favorite.
Yotsuya:
You say that, but you're not sharing the cheesecake either...
Short Note:
A "rare-cheesecake" is something like a "raw-cheesecake".
You just don't cook it that much and it has the consistency of yogourt. It's usually white.
Image of an elementary or junior high age Godai eating watermelon with a somewhat younger, tanned kid.
Akira laughing.
Godai:
(n) That skinny little kid...
We haven't seen each other for ten years...)
Meanwhile, Yotsuya and Akemi are busy finishing off the whole box.
Godai finally comes back to reality,
while Akemi and Yotsuya look at him with pieces of cake all over their mouth.
Godai:
Where's mine... ?
Akemi:
Huh?
Yotsuya:
You wanted some?
Godai:
!!!!
Night view of the roof of Ikkoku-kan.
Kyoko:
Souichiro-san...
Akemi:
We're back.
Kyoko:
How is Godai-san?
Akemi:
Kanrinin-san, you really should give Godai-kun a visit.
Kyoko:
But......
In Kyoko's room, Kyoko, Akemi, Yotsuya, and Ichinose are sitting at the kotatsu.
Akemi:
He looked kind of depressed.
Yotsuya:
He didn't even help himself to the cake we brought him.
A side-view closeup of a concerned-looking Kyoko.
Akemi:
Kanrinin-san, why don't you go visit him?
He should be waiting for you. I knew it! I knew it!
[Hospital again]
Sign:
Tokeizaka General Hospital
Godai in bed, stares at the ceiling.
Godai:
(Could it be... Maybe it's because I slapped her that she's not coming...)
Godai remembers slapping Kyoko.
Godai:
You IDIOT!
Godai rolls over, looking annoyed at himself.
Godai:
No way... But that was really awful of me.
Godai finishes rolling over, and looks out the window.
Godai lifts himself off the bed, staring out the window.
Kyoko is coming up the walk, carrying flowers.
Godai:
Ah!
Godai is now up against the window, mouth wide in glee.
Godai:
OhhhHHH... Yes! Alright!
Kyoko has stopped.
Godai:
Huh?
Kyoko turns around and starts walking away.
Godai:
H, hey...
Kyoko looks up towards the hospital unsurely.
Godai ducks back into his bed to avoid her gaze.
Godai: [clutching his pillow]
Wait a minute... Why do I have to hide like this?
Godai: [sliding window open]
Hey wait, this is a chance to act cheerfully.
Godai: [sticking his head out of the window and waving]
Yoohoo..
Godai: [looks down into an empty courtyard]
Hunh?
Godai: [looks out, eyes open wide in dismay]
Ohh no......
Why did she leave after coming this far...?
Godai:
Kyoko you idiooot.
Godai still has his head out the window as Kyoko enters the room behind him.
Kyoko:
Umm...
Godai: [Seeing the devil herself.]
................
Kyoko: [Feeling very sorry.]
................
Godai: [As cornered as someone can be.]
W..what I..I just said.......
Godai: [Trying to save the situation.]
P..please, don't misunderstand it.
Kyoko: [Feeling very very sorry.]
It's alright. It's my fault! I know I'm an idiot...
Godai: [Still trying to save the situation.]
Why, no...
Kyoko: [Bowing.]
I'm really sorry for what happened.
Godai: [Performing his poor doggie look.]
No... It was my fault...
Kyoko: [Preparing herself for something important she wants to say...]
I.......
Kyoko: [Sitting next to Godai. Sincerely.]
Never again, `positively' will I be jealous.
Godai: [Shocked.]
Eh...
Kyoko: [Making a resolution.]
About interfering in your relationship with Kozue-chan, I......
Someone is running in the hallway.
Kozue slams the door open as she bursts into the room.
Kozue:
Godai-san!!
Kyoko and Godai are both surprised at the sudden interruption.
Godai:
Ko...
Kyoko quickly stands up to make way for Kozue.
Kozue:
Oh, why didn't anyone tell me you were in the hospital?
Godai:
Kozue-chan......
Godai:
Y.. you're overreacting, Kozue-chan.
Kozue innocently asks a question out of concern, causing Kyoko to slam her head into the edge of the frame.
Kozue:
Why in the world did you break your leg!? Oh, why, why, why!
The words stab into Kyoko's heart.
Godai:
It's OK!... Kozue-chan
The sound of silence prevails in the room as everyone freezes for a moment.
As Kozue waits for an answer, Godai can only look meekly across the room at the answer herself...
Kyoko hangs her head in shame.
Kyoko:
Well, Godai-san, I think I'll be leaving now.
Kyoko is bowing to Kozue, now at Godai's side.
Godai:
Kanrinin-san...
Kyoko:
Kozue-san, please take good care of him.
Kozue and Godai are looking at the door.
Godai solemnly remembers what Kyoko had said...
(Never again will I be jealous.)
Kozue: [to Godai]
That was nice of kanrinin-san to let us be alone, wasn't it?
Kozue:
Say, what's the true story about your injury?
Godai is looking down at the blankets in embarrassment.
Godai:
Well, I was kind of reckless..
Kozue's peeling an apple for him.
Godai:
(n) I can't tell you that the sweater you gave me started all this...
Godai:
It's not your fault...
Kyoko: [her words echoed yet again]
Never again will I be jealous.
Kozue is feeding Godai. She prompts Godai to open his mouth
Godai's narration:
Wait a minute...
Godai waves to Kozue as she leaves the room.
Kozue:
See ya.
A stunned-looking Godai on a blank background.
Godai:
(n) The whole problem is getting off the point...
Close up on Godai's wide-open eyes.
Godai:
(n) If she said that knowing how I feel..
A raucous scene in the hospital room; Godai's head is buried in his pillow.
Ichinose is pouring sake with Akemi beside her on the floor.
Yotsuya has taken advantage of a neighboring bed to stretch out on.
Godai wails:
Waaah, she doesn't care about me after all!!
Ichinose: [laughs]
What's the matter? I thought you were a big boy.
Yotsuya:
What scandalous behaviour.
A nurse enters and screams:
PLEASE BE QUIET!!
Yotsuya who's suddenly crumpled onto the bed pretending to be dead.
Godai:
(n) Thereafter, Kanrinin-san......paid me a visit every day, but......
Ikuko: [Paying a visit to her tutor]
O-nichan, are you all right?!
Mitaka: [Paying a visit to his rival, probably expecting to see Kyoko]
Hi, so you broke your leg?! Glad to see you're fine.
Sakamoto: [Also probably expecting to see Kyoko]
Still alive, Godai? Y'know you're badly missing school.
Yep, the whole loon squad came to pay a visit. Seems Godai would like to be in somewhere else.
Kozue: [Too sweet. Looking after Godai]
Isn't there something you would like?
Ichinose: [Too drunk. She's a living party by her own]
WAHAHAHA
Akemi: [Too friendly. Talking to Mitaka]
Come on, come on, let's drink, let's drink.
Mitaka: [Too womanizer. Chatting with Akemi]
Is there something we're supposed to celebrate?
Yotsuya: [Too slick. Talking to Sakamoto]
Where's my present?
Sakamoto: [Too naive. Answering to Yotsuya]
What?
Ikuko: [Too cute. Talking to Kentarou]
It's been a long time don't you think Kentaro-chan?
Kentarou: [Too blush. Laughing to Ikuko]
Ha ha ha
Kyoko: [Too much]
......
Note that Godai and Kyoko are each located at the exact opposite side of the frame and
that everyone else is in the middle, like as many obstacles to their love. ^_^
Nurse:
PLEASE, KEEP QUIET!!
Godai:
(n)... but as things were going, we had no chance to be alone......
Outside view of Tokeizaka General Hospital.
Kyoko is walking down the hallway in the hospital, and carrying a parcel.
She enters Godai's room. She quietly approaches Godai's bed.
Having placed her parcel and her jacket on the empty bed behind her,
she sits down at the stool right next to Godai's bed.
Kyoko: [He's alone for a change......]
Closeup of Godai sound asleep. Closeup of Kyoko looking on caringly at him.
Kyoko pulls the bed sheets up to his neck. Kyoko pauses while holding the blankets.
Kyoko:
..................
Kyoko hugs Godai as she rests her head on his shoulder.
Kyoko:
I'm sorry...
Godai: [Godai's eyes open]
Huh?
Godai lifts his head and wipes off his mouth.
Godai looks toward Kyoko, who has already sat down on the far side of the room...
Godai:
Did you just come...?
Kyoko:
Y..yes, just now...
Kyoko moves over to the empty bed.
Kyoko:
Oh, yes. Uh, this is...
Kyoko turns back around, pulling that sweater out of a bag...
I took it out to the cleaners for you...
Since I thought you should have something warm...
Kyoko: [She presents the sweater]
Here.
Godai looks at the sweater; Kyoko, with eyes closed, stands quietly.
Godai:
It's the sweater Kozue-chan knit...
Close up on a serious-looking Godai.
Godai:
(n) Why did she go out of her way to bring this?
Kyoko with eyes closed looks downwards apologetically.
Godai:
(n) Is that her answer?
Close up on solemn-looking Kyoko; her eyes are open now.
View of the whole room; Kyoko remains standing by Godai's bed.
Godai + Kyoko:
Uh...
Both listening to hear what the other has to say:
............
Kyoko:
Th..there's no special, deep meaning to my having brought it.
Kyoko sits down beside Godai.
Kyoko:
Only, from now on, I won't look the other way...
Godai's looking a bit surprised... or worried.
Godai's remembers what Kyoko said a second ago. "I won't look the other way..."
Kyoko continues:
You see...
Kyoko:
It's because I was jealous... that we have fallen to this point...
(n) This sweater is a punishment for my jealousy......
Kyoko:
Yes, I'm being punished... as I must be punished.....
... I don't know what I'm talking about...
Kyoko: [Beginning to stand up]
I must go home......
Godai: [Trying to keep her...]
Wait.....
Godai grabs her arm to keep her from leaving, and looks up at her.
Godai:
Kyoko-san...
Closeup of Kyoko's face.
Kyoko:
I......
Closeup of Godai looking straight up at Kyoko.
*The* scene. Kyoko approaches Godai for a kiss.
Kyoko:
Maybe......
The door springs open, and the party squad enters, laden with drink.
Ichinose:
HI! Godai-kun!
Akemi:
We came to visit you!
Ichinose turns and looks over at Kyoko, who has managed to sit down on a stool
in the other corner of the room facing away from everybody in mere seconds...
Ichinose:
... What was that about?
Godai: [looking slightly embarrassed]
Nothing...
Ichinose is looking at Kyoko, who is aghast (but turned away).
Ichinose:
I've had enough. You haven't made up yet.
Ichinose is smiling at Godai.
Ichinose:
Well, that's all right.
Godai-kun, I saw your cousin.
Godai:
Eh?...
A hand carrying a piece of luggage is all you can see of whoever's standing in the doorway...
Voice:
Excuse me.
Godai:
A...
Full-length view of Godai's cousin who's just entered the room.
Godai's cousin:
How are you feeling, Yuu-chan?
Godai: [surprised]
Akira..?
Godai and cousin point at one another.
Godai: [Really surprised. This girl used to be that skinny little kid?]
Eh...!
Akira: [Pointing back at Godai, probably teasing him by imitating his actions.]
Eh...!
Kyoko looks on in dismay/surprise.
Ichinose produces Godai with a bottle of sake.
Ichinose:
You've been keeping it a secret that you have such a beautiful cousin.
Godai:
No, she used to be scruffy.
Akira:
What a thing to say!
Ichinose:
It'll be a bother taking care of him; good luck
Akira:
It's not that bad...
Please, look at this luggage. I came with the resolution of staying here until cousin leaves the hospital!!
Godai:
You, you intend to stay here?..... Wait a minute.
Akira:
Don't be concerned. We're cousins, aren't we?
Godai is caught off guard by Akira's argument.
Kyoko: [Expecting a decisive reply]
...............
Godai: [In a burst]
You, you little pest!
Even if we're cousins, you're a girl, I'm a boy, and we can't share the same room......
Akira: [Artlessly]
What are you talking about? Didn't we used to sleep together when we were kids?
Akemi: [Probably speaking to Godai]
More mischievous than ever. Hehe, you know that cousins can marry, don't you?
Ichinose: [Ready for the party]
WAHAHAHA! What's up Kanrinin-san? Come on, let's have a drink.
Nurse: [Doing her job]
PLEASE, KEEP QUIET!!
Kyoko is sitting on the other side of the room away from Godai,
shaking with jealousy, and probably with disappointment. ^_^
Kyoko:
............
Ichinose:
Looks like kanrinin-san wants to take care of him till he's out of hospital.
Akemi:
No way! She can't be serious!
Ichinose:
I'm so relieved. I was so worried he'd be using you as a slave.
Yotsuya:
That's right. You shouldn't use your hands for such things as laundries or changes.
You can leave everything to me. I'll properly incinerate dirty clothes.
Godai:
Oh thank you.. You look fine. So what do you want now?
Kozue:
Aren't you being too dependent on Otonashi-san?
Even if she's the manager of your place, should she take care of you in hospital as well?
Godai:
There were various turn abouts before things ended up like this.
Kozue:
Oh, you mean, you broke your leg trying to help Otonashi-san?
Godai:
Sort of.
Kozue:
What a poor lady.. She's got such strong sense of responsibility. I see.
The sense of responsibility. That explains it.
Kyoko:
It's no sense of responsi...
Kozue:
You're working rather hard.
I feel you two have more than tenant-manager relation.
Kyoko:
No.. not at all!
(n) No way.. I'm just.. It's my responsibility to take care of him!
Godai:
!!!!
Ichinose + Yotsuya + Akemi:
All CHEERS!
The next morning
Godai:
What a beautiful weather..
Sorry you have to be here in this kind of day..
Kyoko:
It's alright. Why don't we go out to the yard?
Godai:
Sure.
Kyoko:
Aren't you cold?
Godai:
No. It's quiet today isn't it?
Kyoko:
Yeah.
Godai:
Are you sure you can leave Ikkoku-kan un-attended?
Kyoko:
Don't you worry about that. Besides...
Godai:
Besides?..
Kyoko:
Besides..
Godai:
Wow, so pretty!
Godai trips
Kyoko:
Watch out!
Kyoko graps him by her arms
Godai:
!!!
Kyoko:
???
A kiss is imminent but an arriving ambulance sound prevent it.
Kyoko:
Why don't we go back?
Godai:
Sure...
In the same ward
Mitaka:
I broke my leg skiing, you know? I feel so ashamed!
Godai:
So, you specifically chose this hospital? This room specifically?
Kyoko:
It's alright. I'll also come to visit you everyday.
Mitaka: [similing]
Sure!!!
Godai:
Is this what a good looking person like you would do?
Mitaka: [similing]
......
Trailer:
I'm not running. Not at all.
What am I supposed to be running from? Aren't you a lucky woman?
Next episode on MAISON IKKOKU : "A Spark in Love's Firecracker! Godai and Mitaka's Hospital Feud "
