He's too much.

Thank you.

Mitsuko, it's a lot of fun here!

Do you like Ferraris?

I'll take you for drives!

I know! Why don't we

all go and see your shop?

Let's go. You have to go back anyway.

What do you say to that?

My shop's nothing to show off...

Please.

Watch your step.

Go ahead.

Mitsuko! You want to

ride in my Ferrari?

Okay, I'll go with you.

Wow, I feel kind of nervous.

Your Mum is so young, isn't she?

Her? She's not my mother.

My mother died 3 years ago.

My a**hole dad remarried right away!

You'd better watch your mouth.

Okay?

I'm sorry my car's so small...

It's fine. I'm sick of that vulgar car.

His taste is baffling.

My husband is pushy and very aggressive...

Doesn't he annoy you?

No! We are very

grateful for what he's done.

He's a nice man.

A nice man?

I'll open the door.

Please come in.

Follow me.

Come inside.

It's embarrassing...

No, this is good!

You have everything that's important.

Impressive.

Look at them, they look

much more lively than mine.

He knows how to take

care of them, right, Aiko?

My husband likes quantity but he

soon gets bored with everything.

Do you do it all, Mr. Shamoto?

No, Taeko is the one

who takes care of things.

Is that right!

Aiko, take note of that!

I'm impressed!

Thank you.

Good... I love it.

Really?

Are you into astronomy?

Yes.

It's my hobby. I used to

visit the planetarium often.

The one in Fujino town?

- Right.

- Did you go there with your wife?

Yes, well...

Wonderful hobby.

Maybe I'll take you to the planetarium, huh?

Don't make promises you won't keep.

I guess it's not my thing.

The rain has stopped.

Thank you for everything.

It's nothing.

Mitsuko, we'll be waiting!

- See you all later.

- Thank you very much.

Our blue planet, Earth was

born 4.6 billion years ago.

And 4.6 billion years from now

Earth will end its life.

Mitsuko, isn't it beautiful?

Yes. Thank you for bringing me here.

It's so beautiful and twinkly...

Just like the fish in the shop.

You're right! I love your shop, Dad.

I love you, Mum and Dad.

I love everybody.

COLD FISH:

It's another beautiful day to work.

Keep your spirits high

and a sunny disposition!

Keep your spirits high

and a sunny disposition!

What can be done now, do now!

What can be done now, do now!

Very good.

There's a new girl starting today.

Come over here.

This is Mitsuko Shamoto.

Say hi, everyone.

Nice to be here.

Loud and clear, girls!

Welcome aboard!

I can feel your energy.

Mitsuko will be fine with us.

- Thank you.

- We'll take good care of her.

I'd like to discuss

Mitsuko's future with Mrs. Shamoto.

You can go now, Mr. Shamoto.

Are you sure?

Certainly, I'll have my

husband drive your wife home.
