    Doorman Robot.
[04:58] YACHIYO
    Are you all right now?
[05:05] DOORMAN
    I did it again, huh?
[05:08] YACHIYO
    We really should find you some coolant soon.
[05:12] DOORMAN
    Sorry to make you use our water reserves.
[05:15] YACHIYO
    I don't mind going to collect more.
[05:17] YACHIYO
    However, I must ask you to limit
    how much you open and close our doors.
[05:21] DOORMAN
    Easy for you to say, missy,
    but opening doors is my very purpose.
[05:26] DOORMAN
    Every single time, before I even realize,
[05:29] DOORMAN
    I've opened them already.
[05:31] YACHIYO
    But what's the point if you're
    overheated when a guest arrives?
[05:36] DOORMAN
    Missy, I simply cannot stand the thought
    of a door remaining unopened all day long.
[05:41] YACHIYO
    You certainly are stubborn, Doorman Robot.
[05:44] DOORMAN
    Don't bother trying to talk this
    old-timer down. You'll be late for work.
[05:47] DOORMAN
    Hurry up and go inside.
[05:49] YACHIYO
    Don't!
[05:50] YACHIYO
    I'm not a guest.
    I can open the doors myself.
[05:53] YACHIYO
    And I've said that 4,682 times now.
[06:19] YACHIYO
    Good morning, team.

    and infrared inspection on the western face.
[07:38] YACHIYO
    Cook Robot, venison might
    be better in that case.

[13:40] YACHIYO
    Good morning, team.
[13:42] YACHIYO
    Today is April the 13th, 2157.
[13:45] YACHIYO
    As your acting acting manager,
    I hereby begin our daily morning stand-up.
[13:49] YACHIYO
    Before roll call,
[13:51] YACHIYO
    I must inform you that Driller Robot
    was placed on indefinite leave yesterday.
[13:56] YACHIYO
    I'll take over the drilling work
    at the planned hot spring site.
[13:59] YACHIYO
    You probably can't handle it
    with your form factors.
[14:03] YACHIYO
    And I'll be able to make time
    for it between my other tasks.
[14:07] YACHIYO
    Huh? Doorman Robot could?
[14:15] YACHIYO
    Listen well, team.
[14:17] YACHIYO
    Doorman Robot must always be there
    to welcome our guests at any time!
[14:21] YACHIYO
    What if a guest arrives
    and the hotel's doors remain closed?
[14:26] YACHIYO
    Can a Gingarou Hotel that doesn't open its
    doors still be called the Gingarou Hotel?
[14:31] YACHIYO
    No, it would no longer be the Gingarou...
[14:40] YACHIYO
    No, it would no longer be the Gingarou Hotel.
[14:44] YACHIYO
    Why? Because the Gingarou Hotel's
    doors are always open.
[14:48] YACHIYO
    I ask you, then: who opens those doors?
[14:50] YACHIYO
    It's Doorman Robot.
[14:51] DOORMAN
    There!
[14:51] YACHIYO
    Nobody else can handle the bars
    with such precision
[14:55] DOORMAN
    Hah!
[14:55] YACHIYO
    and open the Gingarou Hotel's doors at the
    optimal speed—at least to my knowledge.
[14:59] YACHIYO
    It may seem like a simple task,
    but not anyone can do it.
[15:03] YACHIYO
    Therefore, the best candidate to take over
    the drilling work is me and not him.
[15:11] YACHIYO
    What is it, Flycatcher Robot?
[15:15] YACHIYO
    No need to worry. We will have guests.
[15:22] YACHIYO
    Humanity will definitely return to Earth.
[15:28] YACHIYO
    Now, let's take care of business as usual.
[15:31] YACHIYO
    Offer our guests our heartfelt hospitality
    and our brightest smiles.
[15:41] YACHIYO
    Good.
[15:45] YACHIYO
    Good!
[16:04] YACHIYO
    It seems I'm running behind schedule.

    Five-star reviews fall to zero percent.

    is zero percent.
[17:44] YACHIYO
    Team!
[17:45] YACHIYO
    We are faced with the biggest crisis since
    mankind departed Earth over a century ago!
[17:49] YACHIYO
    Without shampoo hats,
    our hotel will go out of business!
[17:54] YACHIYO
    Whether our guests have hair
    or not is irrelevant!
[17:57] YACHIYO
    These things exist to prevent shampoo
    from getting into their eyes!
[18:01] YACHIYO
    "Make them"?!
[18:02] YACHIYO
    We only carry shampoo hats from our supplier,
    a historic specialty store!
[18:06] YACHIYO
    A Gingarou Hotel without those very
    shampoo hats is no Gingarou Hotel at all!
[18:12] YACHIYO
    We will temporarily pause usual operations
    and conduct a Ginza-wide search.
[18:19] YACHIYO
    Leave no stone unturned!
    Search every nook and cranny!
[18:22] YACHIYO
    We must find that shampoo hat at all costs!
[18:27] YACHIYO
    I told you to stop opening
    the damn door for no reason!

[18:46] YACHIYO
    Why did you take that shampoo hat?
[18:49] YACHIYO
    Depending on your answer,
    the consequences may be severe.
[18:54] DOORMAN
    Missy, you know how you splash me with water?
[18:57] YACHIYO
    Huh?
[18:58] DOORMAN
    I happen to have a slight distaste for water.
[19:02] YACHIYO
    You don't like me pouring water
    over you? That's your reason?
[19:06] DOORMAN
    I mean, you certainly don't
    hold back when you do it.
[19:10] YACHIYO
    I'll give you that.
[19:13] YACHIYO
    But why didn't you tell me it bothers you?
[19:15] DOORMAN
    It's not always easy to speak your mind.
[19:20] DOORMAN
    That's just how people are.
[19:22] YACHIYO
    Okay, but we're not people.
[19:24] DOORMAN
    We're not.
[19:26] DOORMAN
    That's exactly why those of us in the hotel
    business want to learn what makes them tick.
[19:31] YACHIYO
    I agree, but what does that have to do
    with your door-opening practice?
[19:35] DOORMAN
    My skills will go rusty.
[19:38] DOORMAN
    Let's say I didn't open
    any doors for two hours.
[19:40] DOORMAN
    How long do you think it would take me
    to get my groove back after that?
[19:45] YACHIYO
    After two hours of not doing it?
    An hour, maybe?
[19:50] DOORMAN
    It's two years.
[19:51] YACHIYO
    Two years...
[19:53] DOORMAN
    I just want to give the guests
    who choose this hotel
[19:57] DOORMAN
    the best damn door opening possible.
[20:00] DOORMAN
    That's all I want.
[20:02] DOORMAN
    That's really all I want.
[20:12] YACHIYO
    It's over.
[20:13] YACHIYO
    What kind of hotel offers a room
    without a shampoo hat?
[20:18] YACHIYO
    There isn't one.
[20:19] YACHIYO
    It's over.
[20:21] YACHIYO
    What kind of acting acting manager doesn't
    understand how her subordinates feel?
[20:28] YACHIYO
    There's one right here.
[20:30] YACHIYO
    It's valuable data. I should store it safely.
[20:33] YACHIYO
    It's all over.
[20:34] YACHIYO
    I couldn't keep the promise
    we made to the owner.
[20:38] YACHIYO
    I failed to receive any guests,
[20:41] YACHIYO
    and I failed to keep the hotel running
    until humanity's return.
[20:45] YACHIYO
    Today is the day it all ends
    for the Gingarou Hotel.
[20:54] YACHIYO
    I told you, stop opening
    the door for no reason!
[21:12] (Flashback) OWNER
    Until then, I leave the hotel
    in your capable hands.

    We've been eagerly awaiting your return.

[21:57] YACHIYO
