Would you have come

to visit me?

Of course.

We might have had

lots of healthy babies there.

That's not a bad life.

You're so kind.

I'll call you again.

Sure.

What happened to your hand?

I just got hurt at work.

I see.

I passed...

The Foreign Ministry exam?

Congratulations.

You're going abroad, right?

The first year is training here.

Then I'll be abroad for a while.

What are your plans for Hatsumi?

You'll be abroad for years.

What will happen to her?

That's her business, not mine.

What do you mean?

Look,

I'm not planning to marry anyone and

I made that perfectly clear to Hatsumi.

So...

If Hatsumi wants to marry somebody,

she should go ahead.

If she wants to wait for me,

she can.

That's what I mean.

You think I'm a sh*t, don't you?

Yes.

I'll bring her along next time.

Talk to her, I'm sure you'll like her.

It's a waste of time.

I'm too poor to go out with girls

from your school.

Don't be silly.

She's a nice, natural girl.

My school cafeteria has three lunches,

A, B and C.

A lunch is 120 Yen,

B is 100 Yen, C is 80 Yen.

When I eat the A lunch,

everybody gives me dirty looks.

You still think I can talk to her?

Just meet her.

You don't have to screw her.

I should say not.

You can't do that,

she's still a virgin.

Watanabe's in love with a girl.

But he won't say a word about her.

Really?

But I'm not hiding anything.

It's just that the situation is

complicated and hard to talk about.

What a shame, we could have

gone on double dates.

We could have got drunk

and swapped.

- Don't be awful.

- Nothing's awful.

Right?

We swapped girls once.

Watanabe.

Did you?

Go ahead, tell her.

I'd like to hear that story

It sounds very interesting.

We were drunk.

That's all right,

I'm not blaming you.

I just want you

to tell me the story.

The two of us were drinking

in a bar

and got friendly with

this pair of girls.

They went to a junior college.

They were pretty plastered, too.

So anyway, we went to a hotel

and slept with them.

Nagasawa's room

was right next door to mine.

Nagasawa knocked on my door

in the middle of the night

and said we should

exchange girls,

so I went to his room,

and he went to mine.

Was it fun?

Not especially.

So why did you do that?

I suggested it.

I'm asking Watanabe.

Why did you do that?

Sometimes, I really want

to sleep with a girl.

You know, Watanabe...

I don't know

how complicated it is,

but that kind of behaviour

isn't of your style.

It isn't right for you.

What do you think?

I feel that way, too, sometimes.

So why don't you stop?

Let me summarise.

Watanabe's got this girl he likes, but

can't get any because of complications.

So he tells himself sex is sex
