The acting world is not as easy as

you think

I play the role of a maid and simply say

sorry to disturb you

after the curtains go down

so this is all the costume I need

You understand?

You don't understand

I have been thinking if I should

get roses

but I was right not to get them

Sorry

Let's go for a drink

Right, let's get drunk

Be alert

Before entering the troupe

I have not spoken to anyone

at the top of my voice

it's the same at roll call when

I was a kid

I always said 'present' in a soft voice

Like this

I see

I am not cutout for acting

But you want to be an actor?

I hate what you say

I am a star

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

I must excuse myself

- I must wash up

- Okay

Sorry, wait

- Please draw the curtains for me

- Okay

Right

Let me do it

I said I'll do it, go and take a seat

What are you laughing at?

What's so funny?

You two are real close

Please, even there's a limit to joking

Sorry

Am I really that ugly?

At least you're not a great beauty

I don't need you to tell me

I also have a mirror at home

But you looks cute

that's why I like you

Then I am the loveable type

You look like any ordinary girl

you are a bit out of your depth

if you want to be a star

You mean you don't recommend that

I be a star

I didn't say that

I am no beauty and not the loveable type

so what am I?!

You belong to those

who have great acting skills

You dare say that to someone

who didn't pass an audition

Akio

Help me

I tell you

I also have a friend who's an actor

The guy's best friend

also happens to be his strongest rival

he suffered an accident riding

on his motorbike

and was taken to the hospital

Are you listening at all?

Yes

They were with a theatre troupe

when the accident happened

Just at a time when they were

at the height of their careers

Many TV and movie makers wanted them

My friend was really in the limelight

and had it made

However on the other hand

the other one in the hospital

with flowers all around him

was down in doldrums

Every time when my friend visited him

he would ask, 'do you have a bag? '

Take some home if you do'

He would fill the bag with food

from visitors

and also reminded his friend to

bring a larger bag next time

I told you this would be boring

Continue

So he brought a bigger bag

At that time his friend's parents

and colleagues came

and his friend had a tube in his nose

It appeared he was in pain

After a few hours he died

My friend rushed out of the hospital

and shouted 'damn'

How could it be like this?

It's not fair

Then he returned to the room

and found his friend's bed was gone

He cried

but something inside him

scared him

and he was shocked

He realised the way he held his fist
