1
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:15,125
Washimi?

2
00:00:15,208 --> 00:00:17,333
Washimi!

3
00:00:18,916 --> 00:00:21,000
You called, sir?

4
00:00:21,625 --> 00:00:23,916
I wonder if you could
take a look at this.

5
00:00:26,375 --> 00:00:27,666
What's this?

6
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:31,958
I'm thinking of putting up
an objet d'art-like somen noodle slide

7
00:00:32,041 --> 00:00:34,041
in the office next summer!

8
00:00:34,125 --> 00:00:35,666
This is the model!

9
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,125
The sound of noodles
sliding through water...

10
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:45,375
I think it could boost our employees'
morale during the hot months.

11
00:00:49,166 --> 00:00:50,208
Rejected.

12
00:00:50,291 --> 00:00:52,458
Don't waste time on such tasks.

13
00:00:52,541 --> 00:00:54,750
Let me tell you
your schedule for today.

14
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:56,125
How cruel!

15
00:00:56,208 --> 00:00:59,208
Our company is very old-fashioned,
so I was trying

16
00:00:59,291 --> 00:01:02,458
to brighten things up with perks
like the ones at tech companies!

17
00:01:02,541 --> 00:01:05,916
No tech company
has a noodle slide in the office.

18
00:01:07,791 --> 00:01:10,625
Show some respect. You're the secretary!

19
00:01:11,041 --> 00:01:14,708
This model cost 300,000 yen to make!

20
00:01:14,791 --> 00:01:16,833
RECEIPT 300,000 YEN

21
00:01:18,833 --> 00:01:20,750
Don't tell me...

22
00:01:21,416 --> 00:01:25,458
Did you plan to put this
on company expenses?

23
00:01:26,958 --> 00:01:27,916
Can't I?

24
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:30,708
This is your hobby.

25
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:35,041
Wait a second, Ms. Washimi! Please!

26
00:01:35,125 --> 00:01:37,166
Your predecessor would have been upset.

27
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:41,333
Wait! Please!

28
00:01:41,833 --> 00:01:42,958
RAGE

29
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,666
KARAOKE
RECEPTION 2ND FLOOR

30
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:26,666
You want to get married
and be a full-time housewife?!

31
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:31,916
So this is why you started yoga.

32
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,208
I see.
In other words...

33
00:02:36,291 --> 00:02:40,791
You sculpt your body through yoga,
bag a boyfriend who earns good money,

34
00:02:40,875 --> 00:02:44,458
marry at 26 or 27, quit your job,
and live happily ever after.

35
00:02:44,541 --> 00:02:46,250
That's your plan?

36
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,666
Well, I never said
"live happily ever after," but...

37
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:55,375
What's wrong?

38
00:02:55,916 --> 00:02:58,375
There's no one you like now, right?

39
00:02:58,458 --> 00:03:00,958
You just want to run
away from your job.

40
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:05,916
Don't underestimate housework.
Marriage isn't a walk in the park.

41
00:03:07,458 --> 00:03:10,708
You'll have zombie-like friends
who are tired of parenting.

42
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:13,250
Some marriages also
go completely cold.

43
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:18,166
I pity the husband who's being chosen
out of convenience.

44
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:20,041
Husbands aren't ATMs, you know.

45
00:03:23,666 --> 00:03:26,583
Gori, stop nodding and say something!

46
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:29,833
Well, I don't know!

47
00:03:29,916 --> 00:03:32,166
Marriage isn't entirely a gamble, though!

48
00:03:32,541 --> 00:03:36,000
Love is a good thing,
regardless of how it starts!

49
00:03:37,125 --> 00:03:40,500
Well, if that's what you think.
Whatever.

50
00:03:49,291 --> 00:03:54,791
Maybe Ms. Washimi is right, and it is
naïve to look for escape in marriage.

51
00:03:56,666 --> 00:03:57,583
Still...

52
00:03:59,458 --> 00:04:01,333
Hey, short-timer!

53
00:04:02,958 --> 00:04:05,041
Tea! Tea!

54
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:06,791
Tea! Tea! Tea!

55
00:04:06,875 --> 00:04:10,666
I could be attacked at any time
and from any side.

56
00:04:12,083 --> 00:04:14,041
Tea!

57
00:04:14,125 --> 00:04:16,083
His range extends by the day.

58
00:04:16,583 --> 00:04:19,708
Tea-tea-tea-tea-tea-tea-tea-tea!

59
00:04:19,791 --> 00:04:23,083
How am I going to survive
this harsh battle?

60
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:25,625
-Tea!
-I want one!

61
00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:27,125
-Me too!
-Don't forget me!

62
00:04:27,208 --> 00:04:29,791
All these guys jumping on board
tick me off!

63
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:33,958
Fetching tea suits you perfectly,
short-timer.

64
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:39,250
TEA ROOM

65
00:04:42,125 --> 00:04:44,791
Maybe I'll add some dishrag water
in the tea.

66
00:04:46,916 --> 00:04:48,083
Maybe not.

67
00:04:50,625 --> 00:04:51,625
Here you are.

68
00:04:55,583 --> 00:04:57,291
Not even a "thank you"!

69
00:05:05,625 --> 00:05:08,583
Director Ton! Thank you
for the treat the other day!

70
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:10,916
Tsunoda!

71
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:13,583
The pleasure was all mine.

72
00:05:14,458 --> 00:05:18,458
Is that a new golf club? Amazing!

73
00:05:18,541 --> 00:05:22,083
You don't miss anything, do you?
I've got a brand new driver!

74
00:05:22,458 --> 00:05:24,875
I hit an eagle with this baby last week!

75
00:05:24,958 --> 00:05:29,416
Wow! I don't know what an eagle is
but it sounds amazing!

76
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,833
It was a dogleg hole.
I was two down from top.

77
00:05:32,916 --> 00:05:35,583
I hit against the wind over the trees
and took the lead!

78
00:05:35,666 --> 00:05:38,916
Amazing!

79
00:05:42,791 --> 00:05:46,583
Tsunoda is busy cozying up to him again.

80
00:05:47,125 --> 00:05:50,583
It is amazing how she can butter him up
without a shred of shame.

81
00:05:51,791 --> 00:05:52,791
Yeah...

82
00:05:59,041 --> 00:06:02,791
I can't believe you
invited me out for dinner.

83
00:06:03,083 --> 00:06:06,333
Yeah. There's something
I would like to ask you.

84
00:06:07,041 --> 00:06:10,041
How do you manage to
manipulate him so easily?

85
00:06:10,125 --> 00:06:12,500
-Manipulate?
-Yes. Director Ton.

86
00:06:12,583 --> 00:06:16,875
I mean, you have him
wrapped around your little finger.

87
00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:20,875
Oh, stop it!
It's pretty normal.

88
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:24,416
I don't know what
"normal" means to you.

89
00:06:26,416 --> 00:06:30,375
Ms. Retsuko, you don't think
I'm sucking up to him, do you?

90
00:06:30,833 --> 00:06:33,208
No! Not really!

91
00:06:33,291 --> 00:06:36,375
It's OK. I am.

92
00:06:38,791 --> 00:06:42,208
What Director Ton wants to hear is,
put very simply...

93
00:06:42,291 --> 00:06:44,041
"I'm so great!"

94
00:06:44,125 --> 00:06:45,250
Easy.

95
00:06:45,875 --> 00:06:48,250
That's why I always say to him, "Amazing!"

96
00:06:48,333 --> 00:06:52,333
If it puts him in a good mood,
why not take advantage of it?

97
00:06:52,416 --> 00:06:55,875
Same thing as telling girls
that they are cute.

98
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:59,916
That's very forthright, isn't it?

99
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,791
Of course it is!

100
00:07:02,583 --> 00:07:05,125
Here is your order.
Sorry about the wait.

101
00:07:06,666 --> 00:07:07,666
But...

102
00:07:09,125 --> 00:07:12,833
Doesn't it feel like you've surrendered
if you flatter him?

103
00:07:12,916 --> 00:07:17,583
It only feels like you've lost.
So that's not a defeat, is it?

104
00:07:17,916 --> 00:07:19,208
Oh...

105
00:07:21,083 --> 00:07:24,166
People tend to hate me for this, though.

106
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:26,250
What? Really?

107
00:07:26,333 --> 00:07:27,875
Who could hate you?

108
00:07:28,291 --> 00:07:30,250
Take Ms. Fenneko,

109
00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:33,083
she really hates me, doesn't she?

110
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:35,500
Who knows...

111
00:07:35,583 --> 00:07:38,750
It's fine. I don't really care.

112
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,750
Let's eat before the food gets cold.

113
00:07:41,833 --> 00:07:45,041
First I'll take a picture.

114
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:55,375
Why?!

115
00:07:57,250 --> 00:08:01,000
Why is there a picture of Retsuko
being friendly with Tsunoda?

116
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,833
Retsuko! What the heck is going on
with you and Tsunoda?!

117
00:08:05,916 --> 00:08:08,583
What do you mean? We just dined together.

118
00:08:08,666 --> 00:08:11,666
Are you crossing to the other side?
Becoming obsessed with your image?

119
00:08:11,750 --> 00:08:14,791
Hustling for likes online?

120
00:08:14,875 --> 00:08:16,833
It's nothing like that.

121
00:08:16,916 --> 00:08:17,958
That's fine, then...

122
00:08:18,458 --> 00:08:19,625
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

123
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:20,833
Oh, Retsuko.

124
00:08:21,666 --> 00:08:23,791
I fixed your laptop.

125
00:08:24,166 --> 00:08:26,875
Really? Thank you!

126
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:31,625
Amazing! It's really fast now!

127
00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:34,458
You barely had any space left
on your hard drive.

128
00:08:34,541 --> 00:08:37,458
I swapped out the drive
and optimized your settings.

129
00:08:39,083 --> 00:08:40,750
Haida...

130
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:44,416
Amazing!

131
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:46,708
Amazing!

132
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:50,583
No big deal.

133
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:53,583
I can fix it again anytime you want.

134
00:08:55,125 --> 00:08:57,375
All right!
Successful attempt!

135
00:08:58,125 --> 00:09:00,750
Next comes the real battle!

136
00:09:05,208 --> 00:09:09,333
Very... busy!

137
00:09:09,625 --> 00:09:13,958
Very... busy!

138
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:21,750
Director Ton!
Are you practicing golf?

139
00:09:22,541 --> 00:09:25,250
That's amazing!

140
00:09:26,375 --> 00:09:27,291
What part?

141
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:34,041
Your swing?
I thought it was amazing.

142
00:09:34,125 --> 00:09:36,166
How is my swing amazing?

143
00:09:36,250 --> 00:09:39,166
Well... Your hip stance...

144
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:40,583
Hip?!

145
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:42,375
What's wrong?

146
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:48,000
I hurt my back trying to pick up
the chopsticks last night!

147
00:09:48,375 --> 00:09:52,625
I've tried every trick in the book.
I'm preparing for Saturday's competition.

148
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:03,708
I understand. You're making fun of me.

149
00:10:03,791 --> 00:10:05,791
No, no!

150
00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,875
Director, how can I help?

151
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,666
-Rub me!
-Yes, sir!

152
00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:12,708
Retsuko! People like you...!

153
00:10:13,041 --> 00:10:14,166
What?!

154
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:17,958
Why? Why?

155
00:10:19,625 --> 00:10:23,625
Why did this happen?!

156
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:30,750
How awkward!

157
00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:36,541
But it's good that you're taking action.

158
00:10:36,625 --> 00:10:40,500
The girl who gave you that advice
sounds wise.

159
00:10:40,875 --> 00:10:43,625
Do you butter up men by telling them
how amazing they are?

160
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:48,916
I do. Not lightly, but I'll use it as
a last resort with a man I'm aiming for.

161
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:50,583
I see...

162
00:10:50,875 --> 00:10:53,625
In my case, I'm usually
the one being told I'm amazing.

163
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:54,583
Oh...

164
00:10:54,666 --> 00:10:57,875
Recently a youngster told me
that I looked great.

165
00:10:57,958 --> 00:10:59,291
Oh my...

166
00:11:00,958 --> 00:11:03,083
I gave it my best shot...

167
00:11:04,958 --> 00:11:08,500
But I really think my only option
is to get married and quit...

168
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,375
Look, Director Ton is used to
treating you in a certain way.

169
00:11:14,916 --> 00:11:18,125
It's impossible
to suddenly change that dynamic.

170
00:11:18,708 --> 00:11:21,333
It seems that you pushed too hard,
too soon.

171
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:24,458
Then what should I do?

172
00:11:25,708 --> 00:11:27,041
You know, adults...

173
00:11:27,291 --> 00:11:29,458
Once they set their eyes on a prize...

174
00:11:31,041 --> 00:11:32,625
They get to scheming.

175
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:50,833
What is Ms. Washimi up to?

176
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,458
PRESIDENT'S ROOM

177
00:11:57,666 --> 00:11:58,625
Come in.

178
00:11:59,125 --> 00:12:00,625
Excuse me.

179
00:12:01,125 --> 00:12:02,708
What is it?

180
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:06,750
It's about the reimbursement
of the cost of your model.

181
00:12:08,291 --> 00:12:12,083
I've taken care of it.

182
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:14,750
Oh, really?

183
00:12:14,833 --> 00:12:20,208
Thank you! I have to
tip my hat to you, Washimi.

184
00:12:20,291 --> 00:12:21,416
By the way, sir...

185
00:12:21,916 --> 00:12:23,916
I'd like to discuss a separate matter.

186
00:12:25,041 --> 00:12:27,708
It's about Director Ton in Accounting.

187
00:12:34,541 --> 00:12:37,291
Wait, I don't really have
anywhere to go to this time.

188
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:45,000
Power harassment, you say?

189
00:12:45,083 --> 00:12:48,750
And troubling reports
of sexual discrimination.

190
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:52,375
But it's just a rumor, right?
I would wager that there is no proof.

191
00:12:52,458 --> 00:12:54,833
Is it really that big a deal?

192
00:12:54,916 --> 00:12:58,333
Some people just whine about anything.

193
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:02,375
Sir.

194
00:13:03,291 --> 00:13:06,291
This poses a risk for the company.

195
00:13:06,375 --> 00:13:11,291
Ton's behavior is impacting directly
a female employee's mental health.

196
00:13:11,375 --> 00:13:15,166
What's to stop her from putting this
online or taking it to the media?

197
00:13:16,625 --> 00:13:20,375
If you want to see the company's name
dragged through the mud,

198
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:23,416
please feel free to
ignore this problem.

199
00:13:27,041 --> 00:13:29,083
I discussed the issue with the president.

200
00:13:30,083 --> 00:13:32,375
Amazing!

201
00:13:32,458 --> 00:13:35,208
Retsuko, did you bring
that receipt I gave you?

202
00:13:35,291 --> 00:13:36,791
Ah, yes.

203
00:13:36,875 --> 00:13:39,333
I haven't finished processing it, though.

204
00:13:40,375 --> 00:13:41,666
That's okay.

205
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:43,541
RECEIPT 300,000 YEN

206
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:46,375
What?!

207
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:49,791
I never said that
Accounting had accepted it.

208
00:13:49,875 --> 00:13:53,750
I told him that I had taken care of it.

209
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:57,791
That clueless CEO annoyed me,

210
00:13:57,875 --> 00:14:00,541
rambling about how he
doubted there was proof.

211
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:02,541
So this is what he gets.

212
00:14:03,291 --> 00:14:06,333
Ms. Washimi, I love you!

213
00:14:12,125 --> 00:14:17,666
So you see, your management style
comes off a little strong at times,

214
00:14:18,166 --> 00:14:20,500
so I would prefer that you

215
00:14:21,333 --> 00:14:24,458
don't rock the boat unnecessary.

216
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:27,291
What would I have to do?

217
00:14:27,375 --> 00:14:30,083
Get along with everyone.

218
00:14:30,166 --> 00:14:33,333
Strive to create
a modern work environment.

219
00:14:33,791 --> 00:14:35,375
That kind of thing?

220
00:14:43,875 --> 00:14:45,875
