00:05:04 Yea.
00:05:05 Well, I really wanted to say yes,
00:05:08 .. and that's messed up.
00:05:10 You know, it just really intense with Tokyo
00:05:14 and you gotta admit it happened really fast.
00:05:16 What do you mean ?
00:05:19 No, We didn't talk about this.
00:05:20 You only said you're coming.
00:05:22 You said you wanted me to come.
00:05:23 - No, I never said that, Abby.
00:05:26 No, I know I never said that.
00:05:28 Yes, you did.
00:05:30 Abby, you're just feeling it.
00:05:35 So now, I'm gonna need to do what I need to do.
00:05:40 I gotta go.
00:05:45 So, you're not coming back, then?
00:05:46 I never said that.

00:27:21 Okay, can you just stop yelling at me?
00:27:36 I'm, uh, flushing your toilet.
00:27:40 I thought you want me to clean your toilet.
00:27:41 No?

00:34:22 Ramen.
00:34:25 Me. You teach me to cook ramen.
00:34:52 Screw this.
00:34:54 This is ridiculous.
00:34:58 Nobody, nobody without any self rspect
00:35:01 would put up with you.
00:35:03 You fascist.
00:35:09 I'm outta here.
00:35:14 What?
00:35:18 I'm sorry, how can I possibly forget that?
00:35:24 Clean.
00:35:26 Clean the floors
00:35:28 Clean the pots
00:35:29 Clean the toilet, clean.
00:35:39 I don't understand what the hell you're saying.
00:35:42 And I'm sick of trying.
00:35:44 Goodbye.
00:36:15 Clean.
00:36:49 My dad told me I never stick to anything.
00:36:54 He's right.
00:36:57 I never manage to hold a job more
00:37:03 I came here because I want to
00:37:07 and since he left
00:37:13 I'm just hanging around waiting for him to come back.
00:37:29 I will clean for you.
00:37:32 I'll clean the windows
00:37:33 the pots, whatever.
00:37:38 I don't know why I wanted to stay
00:37:45 and the only thinkk that, uh,
00:37:49 the only reason
00:37:52 was
00:38:15 What ?
00:38:19 You need it?
00:38:49 Right.
00:38:51 The floors.
00:39:32 Am I fired ?
00:40:21 Ethan is such a jerk.
00:40:23 Who could have told you that?
00:40:25 But he didn't.
00:40:26 I must have left a hundred messages
00:40:28 But I don't think he even listen
00:40:34 What happened to you?
00:40:35 I walked into a door.
00:40:40 So, what now?
00:40:42 You going home to America, the Beautiful?
00:40:44 América, bland and boring.
00:40:46 I rather die than go back there.
00:40:48 No, I'm staying.
00:40:50 Has that job at the law firm got any better?
00:40:53 No, I'm not doing that anymore.
00:40:55 So, what are you doing?
00:40:59 I'm training.
00:41:02 To become a
00:41:05 a ramen chef.
00:41:08 Isn't that, that noodle stuff?
00:41:17 Yes, ramen.
00:41:29 I have no ida.
00:41:30 Who cars.
00:41:37 You are really studying ramen?
00:41:38 I'm trying to, yeah.
00:41:42 That's awesome.
00:41:45 Dime, where did you learn to speak English?
00:41:47 I lived in Los Angeles for one year
00:41:51 So what do you do now?
00:41:54 Our job is very exciting.
00:41:56 In America
00:41:58 I think you call it 'pushing papers'.
00:42:05 These are my colleagues, Akira
00:42:07 I am Akira.
00:42:09 And Kuma.
00:42:11 Call me Kuma.

00:42:24 It'a pleasure to meet you all.

00:42:28 It's hard to tell,
00:42:29 So, Toshi, where to, next?
00:42:32 Ramen.

00:43:18 Good night.
00:43:19 - Have a beautiful morning.
00:43:22 - Call me.
00:43:27 Witch!
00:43:29 Call me.
00:43:32 She's priceless.
00:45:22 Let me try.
00:45:24 The spinach.
00:45:26 Here.
00:45:28 Pork
00:45:29 This
00:45:31 at 2:00.
00:45:38 What are you doing?
00:45:52 Can you show me?
00:45:58 Please tell me what you mean.
00:46:09 What, are you crazy?
00:47:24 I'm so freaking wasted I'm about to collapse.
00:47:28 You got any beer?
00:47:29 Sure.
00:47:31 Thanks.
00:47:33 Drama, total drama.
00:47:36 You would not believe the stuff.
00:47:39 The creep who pays the rent for my apartment
00:47:42 keeps bringing home his ex
00:47:44 and keeps bringing his friends
00:47:46 Asking me to do favors and stuff.
00:47:48 Once in a while, okay, I mean..
00:47:51 but there's a limit.
00:47:53 Tonight, I get back from the bar,
00:47:55 there he is with Godzilla
00:47:58 and ask me to do him another favor
00:48:00 I lost it.
00:48:02 If you think I'm terrible,
00:48:06 So do you think I could crash here?
00:48:22 You?
00:48:23 Hi.
00:48:24 Hi, Abby.
00:48:26 Hi.
00:48:29 What a coincidence.
00:48:30 Gretchen didn't tell me you are living here.
00:48:32 Gretchen is full of surprises tonight.
00:48:39 She's right in here.
00:48:41 - Please, come in.
00:48:51 Where should I put the suitcases?
00:48:54 Anywhere you want, doesn't matter.
00:48:58 Gretchen.
00:49:07 I really need to sleep, honey.
00:49:10 Toshi's here.
00:49:11 Great.
00:49:19 She's sleeping.
00:49:20 Yeah.
00:49:22 She looked really tired.
00:49:24 What happened?
00:49:25 She asked me if I have a car.
00:49:28 And?
00:49:30 Se oía muy molesta.
00:49:32 She sound really upset.
00:49:34 Tell me about it.
00:49:36 Well
00:49:38 Probably I should go.
00:49:41 Sorry to bother you.
00:49:43 No.
00:49:47 Wait.
00:49:48 Do you want something to drink before you go?
00:49:52 I mean you come all this way.
00:49:54 Personally, I could really use a beer.
00:49:57 Yeah, me too.
00:50:00 Okay.
00:50:02 That's the ramen shop where I work.
00:50:06 Easy commute.
00:50:08 Yes.
00:50:10 Your boss, he speaks English?
00:50:13 Not a word.
00:50:15 Really?
00:50:17 I can't understand a word he tells me
00:50:18 not to mention he's psychotic.
00:50:20 He keeps trying to kill me.
00:50:22 Why do you stay?
00:50:27 Maybe that's because
00:50:30 I have no where else to go?
00:50:33 That's just pathetic.
00:50:35 No.
00:50:36 I think you're on a path to something.
00:50:39 One day I'm sure I will taste Abby's ramen.
00:50:42 God, I hope so.
00:50:45 Yes.
00:50:47 So, what about you?
00:50:49 My path.
00:50:55 Typical Japanese.
00:50:59 Work in a big company
00:51:02 get married
00:51:03 have children
00:51:06 grandchildren
00:51:10 then die.
00:51:14 That's just grim.
00:51:17 But in college I learn music.
00:51:20 I had a band.
00:51:21 That's cool.
00:51:23 Most of the time we just got really drunk.
00:51:27 And we are talking about how we are
00:51:30 to the Japanese music ground.
00:51:32 Then of course, we became salarymen.
00:51:36 It's what our parents wanted.
00:51:38 My parents would only be happy
00:51:40 if I became a partner at a major law firm.
00:51:44 Strange.
00:51:46 Who'd to think we have the same problem?
00:51:51 That's right.
00:51:56 Somewhere along the way
00:51:59 I just forgot what I wanted to do with my life.
00:52:04 Sometimes when I wake up in the morning
00:52:08 I can't breath.
00:52:11 That's probably why I started this habit.
00:52:14 Sorry, I smoke just the last one
00:52:17 and I don't have any.
00:52:19 Wanna take a walk?
00:52:21 It's monsoon.
00:52:31 I guess I should go home now.
00:52:33 Almost the morning.
00:52:37 Have you ever been to
00:52:39 There's a ramen museum in Yokohama?
00:52:42 You kidding me.
00:52:43 I'm not kidding you.
00:52:44 Really?
00:52:46 - Yeah, really.
00:52:48 Let's go there next weekend.
00:52:52 Yeah, okay.
00:52:54 - Great.
00:52:56 I don't think she's intsrested.
00:52:58 Yeah, but it woud be awkward.
00:53:01 She's my friend.
00:53:03 You guys going out and all.
00:53:07 The first night you took a taxi
00:53:12 No, no.
00:53:14 She just share thhe cab with me.
00:53:19 So it's okay I call you?
00:53:22 Yeah.
00:53:24 It's okay, you call me.
00:54:14 I don't understand you.
00:54:37 Merry Christmas!
00:55:06 Yankee, go home now.
00:55:09 I'm sorry, I thought the
00:55:23 I bought them at the market.
00:55:29 Look.
00:55:32 Look at the color
00:55:34 The texture.
00:55:36 I think corn can be beautiful.
00:56:49 Merry Christmas.
00:57:02 Merry Christmas.
00:58:00 Hey Japan, I was fired tonight.
00:58:03 On Christmas Eve.
00:58:05 Heartless Japanese.
00:58:08 Cold blooded Japan.
00:58:10 I'll tell you one thing
00:58:12 Nobody is running this side of town.
00:58:16 The longer I'm here
00:58:19 I don't understand anything
00:58:23 or anybody.
00:58:25 Like, my boss.
00:58:28 I used to think it was the language.
00:58:30 And now I just realise I don't get him at all.
00:58:36 It's a bowl of soup.
00:58:37 Tell him to get over it.
00:58:41 No, no.
00:58:42 There's something about the Japanese
00:58:44 they make the perfect bowl of soup.
00:58:47 It's kind of beautiful.
00:58:50 It's like, with each bowl
00:58:53 you try to get closer to perfection.
00:58:56 I think that's beautiful.
00:58:58 - Ain't that beautiful?
00:59:00 Listen to me.
00:59:02 The only you're going to survive in this country
00:59:06 is to do what everybody else does
00:59:09 Drink.
00:59:14 Merry Christmas.

01:00:09 I wanted to run away from those kids
01:00:14 and sleep onto that ship.
01:00:18 I want to go away from Japan, somewhere.
