It's actually boring.

But are you sure?

I'm positive.

In that case, you're hired.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

There's another one here now.

Yes, you're right.

It's a big one this time.

Here's some cartoon trivia.

"Snufkin" is brother

to "Little My."

But different fathers, though.

They're half-brothers.

No way!

You didn't know that?

There's so much we never

get to learn.

May I ask you a question?

Why did you take in a

total stranger like myself?

Well, because...

...anyone who can remember

that song can't be bad.

Perhaps...

Is that something you

just made up?

You can tell?

That's a perfect theme.

You've really hit the spot.

You think so?

It suits the diner's

atmosphere perfectly.

Hello.

Welcome.

Midori, you serve.

Here you are.

Please write my name

for me.

- In script...

- Ideographs?

In Chinese characters?

Tommi Hiltnen.

Tommi Hiltnen...

Ton (Pig) Mi (Body)

Hil (Day) Tnen (Pray)

What are you doing?

It's a form of Aikido.

A basic squat.

I've done it since

I was a child.

It's something I do

every night.

I used to practice Yoga.

This is a pose called

"lotus flower in early bloom."

I can see it.

Look, about the diner...

Since we don't have many

customers,

why not put ads in

the Helsinki guide books?

Now, Tommi

is our only customer.

But in fact,

he's not really.

He gets his coffee

for free.

But he was my

first customer.

He gets it free forever.

I reckon most Japanese think

our food is the world's best.

And I agree with that.

Any Japanese in a

foreign country

must surely miss Japanese food.

If they knew about

our diner,

we'd get far more customers.

But the thing is, I don't want to

cater to homesick Japanese

or Finns who are after

stereotypes like sushi or sak.

They want different things.

Different flavors?

It's a diner,

not a restaurant.

It's much more informal.

I want passers-by

to drop in and eat.

If we keep working steadily

we will get customers.

If not...

Then I'll just have

to close up shop.

But it will work out.

Listen, Midori.

If the world ended tomorrow,

what would you do?

If it ended tomorrow?

Give me an idea.

Well, first I'd want something

delicious to eat.

I knew it.

I'd want something grand for

my last meal, too.

I'd buy the finest produce

and make many dishes.

I'd invite all the people I love

to a big party.

Well...

Would you invite me, too?

Anyone who can recall the

Gatchaman song can't be all bad.

Welcome sir.

Coffee, please.

Certainly.

Delicious.

But it could be better.

Pardon?

Shall I teach you how to

make delicious coffee?

What's that?

It was there before

I took over.

"Kopi Luak."

What?

It's a charm.
