We want you to show us

what you excel at.

Right here?

Yes, right now.

You mean like singing karaoke?

What skills can you contribute

to this company?

-That's what we want to see.

-But right here, now?

Then how are we expected

to judge your merits?

l've worked in administration so

l'm confident of my interpersonal skills.

What else?

What else...?

Did you really do nothing to prepare,

figuring you might just get lucky?

No.

All right, karaoke will have to do.

Please sing for us.

Please, start singing.

What's wrong?

You're good at karaoke, right?

Use that pen instead of a microphone

and sing.

When you think about it,

we're like a slowly sinking ship.

The lifeboats are long gone...

...the water's up to our mouths.

We know it's hopeless,

but we're still looking for an exit.

But we don't have the courage

to dive underwater, either.

Tell me, Kurosu , why is it?

l'm prepared to accept anything.

But why aren't they prepared

to accept us?

The lifeboats are gone.

They loaded them up with women,

children and young people.

They're gone.

lt folds up like this,

making a perfect space for bicycles.

Your whole family could go camping.

lt's really great.

Get away with just the family.

That's exactly what this car

is perfect for.

This model is all the rage now.

But most people find it more attractive

as a second car than as the family car.

A very handy feature.

The roof disappears?

Please take one.

l can't get rid of any.

All gone.

When's that massive earthquake

coming?

The one that'll turn everything

upside down

and beat up all those

arrogant bastards

and make me Prime Minister,

so l can pass a No Helmet Law.

Yes, l understand.

l'll notify my lawyer.

Yes.

Goodbye, then.

l won't contact you,

so please don't call me, either.

Yes. Goodbye.

Sorry about that.

Let's finish there for today.

Thank you.

Don't worry about me.

-But...

-Are you're concerned?

l guess you are.

l've just got divorced.

Our marriage has been over for ages,

so it doesn't really change anything.

He was a stranger once,

and now we're back

to being strangers again.

You're not going to see him again?

No... never again.

That's what marriage is like.

l understand.

You do?

What do you understand?

l know how you feel, Miss Kaneko.

Recently, l feel better

being on my own, too.

When l'm with someone,

l always end up saying the wrong thing.

And we both get hurt.

lt's time for you to go home and study.

See you.

-Listen ...

-What?

l need to ask you a favour.

This is the Japanese version.

You're signing up

for the American military?

Yeah . There's a new policy,

you don't have to be an American.

You saw it on TV, right?
