The Ramen Girl Page #3

but there's a limit.

Tonight, I get back from the bar,

there he is with Godzilla

and ask me to do him another favor

I lost it.

If you think I'm terrible,

you should see the apartment.

So do you think I could crash here?

You?

Hi.

Hi, Abby.

Hi.

What a coincidence.

Gretchen didn't tell me you are living here.

Gretchen is full of surprises tonight.

She's right in here.

- Please, come in.

- Thanks.

Where should I put the suitcases?

Anywhere you want, doesn't matter.

Gretchen.

I really need to sleep, honey.

Toshi's here.

Great.

She's sleeping.

Yeah.

She looked really tired.

What happened?

She asked me if I have a car.

And?

Se oa muy molesta.

She sound really upset.

Tell me about it.

Well

Probably I should go.

Sorry to bother you.

No.

Wait.

Do you want something to drink before you go?

I mean you come all this way.

Personally, I could really use a beer.

Yeah, me too.

Okay.

That's the ramen shop where I work.

Easy commute.

Yes.

Your boss, he speaks English?

Not a word.

Really?

I can't understand a word he tells me

not to mention he's psychotic.

He keeps trying to kill me.

Why do you stay?

Maybe that's because

I have no where else to go?

That's just pathetic.

No.

I think you're on a path to something.

One day I'm sure I will taste Abby's ramen.

God, I hope so.

Yes.

So, what about you?

What's your path?

My path.

Typical Japanese.

Work in a big company

get married

have children

grandchildren

then die.

That's just grim.

But in college I learn music.

I had a band.

That's cool.

Most of the time we just got really drunk.

And we are talking about how we are

going to make revolution

to the Japanese music ground.

Then of course, we became salarymen.

It's what our parents wanted.

My parents would only be happy

if I became a partner at a major law firm.

Strange.

Who'd to think we have the same problem?

That's right.

Interesting.

Somewhere along the way

I just forgot what I wanted to do with my life.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning

I can't breath.

That's probably why I started this habit.

Sorry, I smoke just the last one

and I don't have any.

Wanna take a walk?

It's monsoon.

I guess I should go home now.

Almost the morning.

Have you ever been to

the ramen museum in Yokohama?

There's a ramen museum in Yokohama?

You kidding me.

I'm not kidding you.

Really?

- Yeah, really.

- Okay, I have to see it.

Let's go there next weekend.

Yeah, okay.

- Great.

-I'll let Gretchen know.

I don't think she's intsrested.

Yeah, but it woud be awkward.

She's my friend.

I have to let her know.

You guys going out and all.

The first night you took a taxi

home together.
