Good for Nothing Page #4

---

I was in a bad mood, get it?

- This party seems rather expensive.

- It's important that you enjoy it.

- This dance is boring!

- I'm okay with it.

That's ridiculous.

I keep telling you that it's boring.

- So why did you come?

- I'm easygoing, just like you.

- Girls are no fun.

- It's the same with boys.

Yes, you're right.

Humans are no fun.

- I'm getting sleepy.

- I wish you were more romantic.

You're putting me to sleep.

I don't want anything big,

just a little piece of paradise.

I'm sure that you'll get it.

- A little two-bedroom, 4000 yen.

- Great.

In life, you must be

happy with what you have.

- This party seems rather expensive.

- Why do you keep saying that?

It's important that you enjoy it.

I've prepared a surprise

for you this evening.

Someone that Jun will bring soon.

Who?

A guest of Akiyama,

can't be anyone special.

Oh really?

Get ready to welcome a great chanteuse.

What's her name?

- Ikuko Makino.

- I'm not familiar with that name.

She just returned from France.

She's not really big in Japan yet.

But over there, she performs

in the cabarets and music halls.

- Was she there very long?

- About four years.

You'll be amazed. Grco, Montand...

- She knew them very well.

- What? Montand?

This may be the

first time she sings in Japan.

- Isn't it wonderful?

- Jun is running late...

- He might have been stood up.

- He's not that dumb.

She must be getting dressed up.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I would have brought Takako.

She loves French songs.

- What are you talking about?

- Ikuko Makino, the chanteuse.

You going to request a song?

I wouldn't know what to do.

Yeah, that would be dumb. Hey, Toshio?

You should make a request. Please.

- They're expecting you.

- A lot of people?

Not many. It won't even cover costs.

Wait a minute. I'll get Akiyama.

He's the one who tried

to take my money in the car.

Yeah, he's the type that would do that.

What about you?

Me? I'm not that different.

I see. That's why

you're so tight with them.

How can you demean yourself like that?

Thanks for coming. I was losing hope.

Tonight, I hang out with the bad boys.

You look beautiful. Follow me.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

On this special evening,

we have the honor to host...

Miss Ikuko Makino.

- Is this a joke?

- We applaud your arrival.

- So, you know Montand?

- Grco always dresses in black?

- What is this, Toshio?

- I couldn't keep it a secret.

They say that you

spent four years in Paris.

We really want you to sing.

Please!

Is it okay, Toshio?

If it's okay with her.

- Please? A song?

- Yes, please.

- What will you sing?

- "La Vie en Rose"

- "Autumn Leaves"

- A new one?

Let's go. Come on.
