Ghost Soup Page #3

Synopsis: Agreeing to move out of his old apartment early to help out others, Ichiro shows up unexpectedly to move into his new place on Christmas Eve, a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. As he starts to unpack, he is beset upon by a series of salesmen at his door and as a result he is already not in the mood to make concessions when two strangely dressed and mannered visitors, Nana and Mel, arrive and insist that he and his possessions are in the way of their plans to hold a Christmas party they cannot re-schedule. In the ensuing see-saw battle over possession of the premises, the pair seems to have some unfair advantages. For instance, Ichiro finds it frustrating that only he seems to be able to see the odd pair. Whether or not Ghost Soup can be made and served hangs in the balance.

This is so weird!

'Tokyo Mansions'...

Hey, l live here!

l found it!

l knew it!

That was quick.

Welcome home.

What are you doing?!

l understand why

you might be angry.

But let's be friends, OK?

Um, this is great!

Now you're friends!

Yeah! lt's Christmas!

We can't be quarreling.

What's with the hand?

This? lt's just a hand.

What are you?!

We introduced ourselves

before. My name's Nana.

l don't mean that!

Of course! You guys are...

...ghosts!!

Not exactly.

Something like that.

Who's he calling?

The police, l think.

Why?

Don't know.

No answer?

Try pushing the hook a few times.

Maybe it hasn't been

connected yet...

Oh, sh*t!

Silly! No wonder

it doesn't work!

Anyway, relax!

Want some water?

Keep the hell out of my stuff,

foreigner!

l mean...ghost...,

Let's discuss this calmly, OK?

There's nothing to discuss!

Get the hell out of here!

'Get out! Get out!'

ls that all you can say?

There's nothing to discuss!

Come on, relax!

Look, we know this is your place.

And we shouldn't have just

barged in, and l apologize.

But we didn't mean

to cause any trouble.

l want you to know that.

You weren't supposed to be

moving in yet...

...so we borrowed it.

We never dreamed

this would happen...

...and we're really sorry.

OK?

You see where

l'm coming from?

What can l do so you'll

forgive me, lchiro?

Goodbye.

ldiot! Why did you

shake his hand?

Skipped my mind.

Right, better get the place

cleaned up!

Oh, yeah...

Nope...OK, the toilet.

None of that really happened.

Oops...

Yes!

Start the music!

Come on! Let's get

back to work!

What are you doing?!

This is not a karaoke booth,

you know.

The neighbors complain

a lot around here.

And you can't sing! l thought

you'd bust a window!

What's wrong?

Did a fox fool you or something?

A Fox?

Are you OK?

Do they come around here?

What?

You know...

...foxes, raccoon dogs...

...ghosts!

Ghosts?!

Uh, no...

Did you see a ghost?!

'Saw one', you could say...

...or 'met one', maybe...

...'touched one'...

You touched a ghost?!

Can't you touch ghosts?

l don't know. l never have.

lt's just your imagination.

There's no such thing.

Ow!

Are you having a party
