    "The Sakura Family Spends
    3 Days Without a TV."
[01:44] MARUKO
    Grandma hit the TV three times,
    but nothing happened.
[01:48] MARUKO
    Usually that does the trick.
[01:51] TOMOZOU
    Just like old folks, maybe TVs
    don't work well when it's cold out.
[01:59] TOMOZOU
    Oh no, TV!
[02:01] TOMOZOU
    Pull yourself together!
[02:02] MARUKO
    Grandpa, you landed the final blow.
[02:05] TOMOZOU
    My fault? Is it my fault?!
[02:08] SUMIRE
    We'll have to take it in for repairs.
[02:11] SAKIKO
    We can't watch TV until it's fixed.
[02:14] MARUKO
    Hold on, Mom!
[02:15] MARUKO
    This is our chance to get a new TV!
[02:18] MARUKO
    Why don't we buy a new one?
[02:20] TOMOZOU
    Ah yes, a new one!
[02:22] TOMOZOU
    Okay! Let's go to the electronics store!
[02:25] SUMIRE
    TVs are expensive, and we can't
    afford to get a new one so easily.
[02:30] SUMIRE
    First, we'll try to repair it!
[02:32] MARUKO
    Boo...
SIGN    Sakura
[02:34] HIROSHI
    Buying a new TV?
[02:37] MARUKO
    Yes. Dad, you want the TV on
    when you drink at night, right?
[02:42] HIROSHI
    It doesn't bother me
    if we don't have a TV.
[02:47] MARUKO
    Huh?! Why?!
[02:49] MARUKO
    What about baseball?
[02:52] HIROSHI
    There's no baseball in the winter.
[02:54] HIROSHI
    If spring arrives and the TV is still broken,
[02:56] HIROSHI
    I'll think about it when
    baseball starts up again.
[03:00] MARUKO
    No, no!
[03:01] MARUKO
    A TV is absolutely necessary for 
    survival, and we need one right away!
[03:06] SAKIKO
    Exactly!
[03:07] SAKIKO
    I'm diligently living my life every day, 
    so I refuse to have a life without Hideki!
[03:13] MARUKO
    We can't wait for the repair.
[03:15] MARUKO
    Grandpa, let's go and buy a TV, okay?
[03:20] TOMOZOU/I
    I got too excited and
    said we'd get a new one,
[03:24] TOMOZOU/I
    but I can't afford it
    with my small pension...
[03:28] TOMOZOU
    L-Let's think about it for a little bit.
[03:32] SUMIRE
    I called the electrician about the TV.
[03:35] SUMIRE
    He says he'll come pick it up tomorrow.
[03:37] SUMIRE
    The repair will take at least
    3 days, at the earliest.
[03:40] MARUKO
    Three days, huh?
[03:42] MARUKO
    Maybe I'll go visit someone's house
    and ask to watch a program?
[03:46] MARUKO
    A comedy show is about to start,
    so could I change the channel?
[03:51] SAKIKO
    Comedy shows and music shows are on
    late at night, so you can't do that.
[03:59] MARUKO
    And it's too cold to go outside.
[04:02] SAKIKO
    Hideki is making an appearance
    on a music show today.
[04:14] SAKIKO
    When I come back from school, the
    TV will be gone, so this is goodbye.
[04:21] MARUKO
    If only it could be fixed today...
[04:24] MARUKO
    TVs are wonderful things, since we can
    watch comedy shows, emotional dramas,
[04:29] MARUKO
    and commercials for new products...
[04:33] SAKIKO
    Yeah, if I can't watch TV,
[04:36] SAKIKO
    I might not be able to keep up
    conversations with my friends at school.
[04:41] SUMIRE
    Come on, you two.
[04:42] SUMIRE
    That's enough, go to school already.
[04:49] TAMAE
    What?!
[04:50] TAMAE
    You don't have a TV for
    three days? That's tough.
[04:55] MARUKO
    How was the music show last night?
[04:58] TAMAE
    My dad was watching something
    else, so I didn't see it.
[05:04] UCHIDA
    I was taking a bath.
[05:07] MARUKO
    Oh man, I was hoping to
    hear the recap from you...
[05:13] FUJIKI
    What's the matter, Sakura?
[05:15] MARUKO
    Fujiki, did you see the
    music show last night?
[05:19] FUJIKI
    Yes, I did.
[05:20] NAGASAWA
    Me too.
[05:22] MARUKO
    You did?!
[05:23] MARUKO
    So, what was it like?
[05:24] MARUKO
    Momoe-chan was on, right?
[05:27] FUJIKI
    Yes.
[05:28] FUJIKI
    And so were Hideki and Tonosama Kings.
[05:30] MARUKO
    What?! Tonosama Kings, too?!
[05:33] MARUKO
    Man... I really wish I could have seen it!
[05:37] NAGASAWA
    Sakura, you didn't watch it?
[05:39] MARUKO
    Our TV broke.
[05:42] FUJIKI
    It doesn't show anything?
[05:44] MARUKO
    Right. It's being repaired right now,
    so I'm without a TV for three days.
[05:50] FUJIKI
    Wow, three days?
[05:52] FUJIKI
    That's rough.
[05:54] FUJIKI
    Hey Nagasawa-kun, you're
    good at Tonosama Kings.
[05:58] FUJIKI
    Why don't you sing it for her?
[06:00] MARUKO/I
    Huh?
[06:01] MARUKO/I
    It's not like I want to listen to
    Nagasawa's rendition of Tonosama Kings...
[06:06] NAGASAWA
    Why should I sing?
[06:09] MARUKO
    Fujiki, he doesn't want to, so...
[06:12] FUJIKI
    Our TV broke before too, and
    parents tend to say stuff like,
[06:17] FUJIKI
    "Go study instead," you know?
[06:20] FUJIKI
    I couldn't relax,
    and it was really tough.
[06:24] MARUKO
    R-Right...
[06:26] FUJIKI
    Nagasawa-kun, please sing for her.
[06:29] MARUKO
    Um, Fujiki, I don't really...
[06:32] FUJIKI
    Sakura, don't be shy.
[06:35] FUJIKI
    Nagasawa-kun's Tonosama Kings is the best.
[06:38] FUJIKI
    If you sing, then this becomes the stage.
[06:42] FUJIKI
    You are a star!
[06:47] NAGASAWA
    I am... a star...
[06:53] MARUKO
    Hey now, Fujiki.
[06:54] MARUKO
    Nagasawa, too...
[06:58] NAGASAWA
    If you insist...
[07:02] NAGASAWA/I
    I promised to stay pure for you
[07:11] NAGASAWA/I
    I'm not ready to give it up for someone else
[07:17] MARUKO
    Nagasawa is a good singer...
[07:20] TAMAE
    Yes, he is...
SIGN    Sakura
[07:25] MARUKO
    I'm home.
[07:28] MARUKO
    Huh? What's this?! A... TV?
[07:32] TOMOZOU
    Yes. You can at least feel its presence.
[07:38] MARUKO
    Grandpa, it's pointless to have
    a box that doesn't show anything.
[07:48] TOMOZOU
    Then...
[07:51] TOMOZOU
    Look, Grandpa is on TV!
[07:55] TOMOZOU
    I am a TV!
[08:04] MARUKO
    I'm bored...
[08:07] SAKIKO
    I know.
[08:09] TOMOZOU
    Ta-da!
[08:11] TOMOZOU
    How about a radio?
[08:13] MARUKO
    Woo, nice.
[08:14] MARUKO
    Let's listen to it!
[08:18] TOMOZOU
    The reception isn't great.
[08:21] TOMOZOU
    Where would be a good spot?
[08:26] MARUKO
    Grandpa, are you okay with this posture?
[08:29] TOMOZOU
    No worries, it's for my family.
[08:33] HIROSHI
    Radio's not bad every now and then.
[08:35] SAKIKO
    I hope they play Hideki.
[08:38] RADIO/I

    That's only for next week...
[08:58] MARUKO
    There's nothing to do, so I'm going to bed.
[09:03] HIROSHI
    Sounds good.
[09:05] SUMIRE
    I have to do the dishes.
[09:08] SAKIKO
    I'm going to bed too.
[09:16] MARUKO
    My dad yelled at me when I said I
    wanted to watch TV this morning.
[09:21] TAMAE
    If it's that hard for you, you can
    come to my house and watch it.
[09:25] MARUKO
    Thanks, Tama-chan.
[09:27] MARUKO
    But I can't burden you
    with my whole family...
[09:30] TAMAE
    What? You meant your whole family?
SIGN    Sakura
[09:35] MARUKO
    I'm home.
[09:37] TOMOZOU
    Maruko. Yocchan came over with
    a souvenir from his trip.
[09:42] MARUKO
    Oh, Yocchan was here?
[09:45] TOMOZOU
    He said that his friend is getting a
    new TV since they're moving.
[09:50] TOMOZOU
    They might sell their old TV cheap to us.
[09:55] MARUKO
    Wow, really?!
[09:57] TOMOZOU
    I hear it's bigger than ours.
[10:00] MARUKO
    Yes!
[10:02] MARUKO
    Oh...
[10:04] TOMOZOU
    Hm? It's a good deal, huh?
[10:06] MARUKO
    It is a good deal, but if
    our TV gets repaired,
[10:12] MARUKO
    Mom would say, "We don't need two
    TVs," and turn down that offer.
[10:20] TOMOZOU
    I see...
[10:22] TOMOZOU
    But we can't cancel the repair
    order at this point...
[10:27] MARUKO/TOMOZOU
    Please don't fix our TV, let
    it be completely broken!
[10:32] SAKIKO
    I'm home.
[10:34] SAKIKO
    Huh?! What are you praying for?
[10:40] SAKIKO
    I want it to be repaired, but I
    want to see Hideki on a big screen!
[10:48] SUMIRE
    What are you doing?
[10:50] MARUKO
    You know, for the TV...
[10:54] SUMIRE
    If the repair is impossible or ends up
    delayed, he'll call us.
[11:00] SUMIRE
    But since there's no call yet,
    I assume it's ready tomorrow.
[11:04] MARUKO
    But any minute now, he might call
    to let us know it can't be fixed.
[11:10] MARUKO
    I know! I'll wait for the call by the phone.
[11:19] MARUKO
    Hello, this is the Sakuras!
[11:24] SUMIRE
    It's so nice that it got fixed a day early.
[11:28] TOMOZOU
    The electrician is very skilled...
[11:32] MARUKO
    If he could make the screen bigger,
    that would've been better...
[11:37] SAKIKO
    I know.
[11:40] NARRATOR/I
    Even though the TV they
    missed so much had returned,

    Maruko, what's this book?
[14:22] MARUKO
    I borrowed it from Hanawa-kun.
[14:24] SAKIKO
    Don't you have to return it?
[14:26] MARUKO
    I haven't read it yet.
[14:28] SAKIKO
    You haven't read it?
[14:29] SAKIKO
    But it's been sitting here for a while.
[14:32] MARUKO
    Because I don't have time to read.
[14:35] SAKIKO
    Jeez, fine print!
[14:37] MARUKO
    That book has more letters than pictures,
    so I don't feel like reading it.
[14:42] SAKIKO
    Then why did you borrow it?
[14:44] MARUKO
    Because Tama-chan says it's a good read.
[14:47] SAKIKO
    How far did you read?
[14:48] MARUKO
    Um...
[14:49] SAKIKO
    What is it about?
[14:51] MARUKO
    The... main character is
    called... Elizabeth, and...
[14:57] MARUKO
    she's 12, and... a farmer's daughter.
[15:01] SAKIKO
    Oh yeah?
[15:04] SAKIKO
    And?
[15:07] SAKIKO
    Is that all you read?
[15:09] MARUKO
    Tama-chan said she finished it
    in three days. Unbelievable.
[15:13] SAKIKO
    She's more focused, unlike you.
[15:16] SAKIKO
    Tama-chan's smart too, unlike you.
[15:19] MARUKO
    That's none of your business.
[15:20] SAKIKO
    If you won't read it, then give
    it back to Hanawa-kun already.
[15:24] MARUKO
    What?
[15:25] MARUKO
    Who knows what he'll say if
    I return without reading it.
[15:29] SAKIKO
    Then why don't you read it?
[15:32] MARUKO
    Fine. Man...

    I get cold when I don't move.

    Let's get warmed up.

    Ah, so tasty.

    Okay then, let's focus on the book...

    What kind of adventure awaits me?

    Tama-chan, after this...
[20:02] MARUKO
    I wanted to play with you,
[20:04] MARUKO
    but I promised my grandpa I'd go
    eat sweet bean soup with him.
[20:09] TAMAE
    Oh, you did?
[20:13] TAMAE/I
    Did I feel... relieved just now?
[20:17] TAMMY/I
    I'm sorry!
[20:18] TAMMY/I
    It's not that I don't want to play with you!
[20:21] TAMMY/I
    I just want to...
[20:24] TAMMY/I
    Read the rest of the book!
[20:28] TAMMY/I

    I can finally read more about Anna.
[20:45] TAMAE/I
    Anna reminds me of Tama-chan
    because she's a bit of a clown.

    Tamae! Maru-chan's on the phone!
[20:53] TAMAE
    What?!

    I'd like to renew this.
[21:17] LIBRARIAN
    Sure, just a moment.
[21:20] FUYUTA
    Oh, Honami-san.
[21:22] FUYUTA
    Renewing? You haven't finished it?
[21:25] TAMAE
    Fuyuta-san...
[21:27] FUYUTA
    I see. So you don't like it.
[21:30] TAMAE
    Oh no, t-that's not true.
[21:33] FUYUTA

[21:44] TAMAE/I
    This book is interesting.
[21:46] TAMAE/I
    It is, but...
[21:49] MARUKO
    Oh, Tama-chan.
[21:51] MARUKO
    Let's play!
[21:59] TAMAE
    Sure!
[22:01] NARRATOR/I
    Maru-chan may be much more 
    interesting than this book.
[22:05] NARRATOR/I
    That's what Tama-chan thought.

[22:15] MARUKO
    My sweater is covered in lint
    balls, but lint balls are amazing.
[22:19] MARUKO
    Maybe I'll dedicate my life to lint balls.
[22:22] MARUKO
    Then maybe my luck would go up and
    I may be able to live a happy life.
[22:26] MARUKO
    Next time on Chibi Maruko-chan:
