-Okay, l'll have some.

Look.

Show me.

You got your driver's licence.

You'll never use it, though.

lt's just a form of identification.

A very expensive form

of identification.

-Use your insurance card.

-l prefer this.

lt's rice porridge today.

Hello.

-lt's cold today, isn't it?

-lt certainly is.

Please wait, it won't be long.

-Hello.

-Thanks for your patience.

-Here you are.

-Thanks for your patience.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here you are.

Hey, Kurosu?

l thought it was you, Sasaki.

Long time no see.

-You haven't changed since school.

-Neither have you.

Sorry.

Hello?

Fine. l'm with a client right now.

l'll talk to the Senior VP

about that myself.

And don't worry about the bid

on the Municipal Hall.

Sure, sure, thanks.

-You dropped this.

-Oh , thanks.

You seem busy.

-You're in construction?

-Something like that.

-And what about you?

-Healthcare equipment.

Oh, sounds great.

Hey, what's that?

l think they hand out food.

You'd be surprised

how many guys line up.

Maybe l'll try some.

lt's a rare chance to taste it.

Are you by any chance unemployed,

Kurosu?

You can tell?

Right...

You are, too, right?

l got down-sized last week.

l got down-sized three months ago.

What about that last phone call?

lt's just for show.

l do it to calm my nerves.

-l know it's stupid but...

-No, it was brilliant.

Aren't you going to eat that?

-l've already eaten.

-l see...

Tastes bad, though, right?

Yeah... it's bad.

They let you stay here

as long as you want.

Sorry.

l set my phone to ring five times an hour.

l didn't know you could do that.

Yeah . lt's not a very well-known feature

so it fools most people.

Oh, l see.

Have you told your wife yet?

No.

-Still give her house-keeping money?

-Yeah.

l see. That means you'll last for a while.

What about your severance pay?

Have they paid it all?

Not yet, no.

Set up a separate bank account for it.

That way, any irregular deposits

won't stand out.

-Unemployment insurance?

-l'm just applying for it now.

Just make sure you submit

all the paperwork on time.

One day late and they'll disqualify you.

You're really something else!

MR EROTO:

Now Kobayashi's totally lost

all authority over us.

Yeah.

lt's just like a revolution. Revolution!

What's wrong?

You're the one who started it all.

Kenji?

Welcome home.

Kenji!

l'm making donuts.

Why don't you come down?

l'm fine!

Don't you want to eat donuts?

No, thanks!

Thanks for the food.

Thanks.

Hey, Kenji.

Here, your monthly lunch money.

Put it in your satchel.

lt's due tomorrow, right?

Do you want a donut?

Let's look at a breakdown

of China's current energy sources.

Well, China is in fact the largest
