    I'll be rooting for them this year again!
[01:43] MARUKO
    Taiyo?
[01:44] MARUKO
    I never knew that you liked
    the Sun so much, Hamaji.

[01:55] HAMAJI
    Oh yeah, I'll show you Yamashita's autograph.
[01:59] HAMAJI
    I went to his autograph session at a
    department store in January and got it.
[02:04] MARUKO
    Oh, that was on TV!
[02:07] MARUKO
    I saw it on the news.
[02:10] TAMAE
    I saw it too!
[02:11] TAMAE
    I was surprised to see the closeup of
    your face when I changed the station.
[02:27] FUJIKI
    We also went there on that
    day, but we weren't on TV.
[02:32] NAGASAWA
    Yeah, because of Hamazaki-kun's
    flashy closeup,
[02:35] NAGASAWA
    plain people like us
    disappeared from the screen.
[02:39] BUTARO
    Yamashita is from Shimizu city, boo.
[02:43] MARUKO
    Oh really? Shimizu city sure has
    produced an incredible person.
[02:48] MARUKO
    It's not just Jirocho, huh?
[02:50] HAMAJI
    Anyhow, I can't wait for the official
    opening game of the season.

[03:05] MARUKO
    Are you that excited about
    professional baseball?
[03:08] BUTARO
    Of course we are, boo.
[03:10] BUTARO
    You have no idea how we've
    longed for April, boo.
[03:14] BUTARO
    I want to be a professional
    baseball player too, boo.

    Of course, boo.
[03:26] BUTARO
    They're cool, boo.
[03:28] BUTARO
    They're the men of all men, boo.
[03:31] TAMAE
    That's true.
[03:33] NAGASAWA
    I don't think baseball caps
    will sit well on my head,
[03:37] NAGASAWA
    so I have no chance of
    becoming a baseball player...
[03:39] MARUKO
    Th-That's not...
[03:42] NARRATOR/I
    Maruko couldn't bring herself
    to finish the sentence.
[03:49] TAMAE
    Maru-chan, let's go home together.
[03:51] MARUKO
    Yes, let's.
[03:54] HAMAJI
    Wow, that's nice!
[03:56] HANAWA
    Well, it's nothing unusual.
[03:58] MARUKO
    What is nothing unusual?
[04:01] HANAWA
    The Giants' game.
[04:03] HANAWA
    I watch the Giants' games twice
    a month at the Korakuen Stadium.
[04:08] MARUKO
    Wow, that's cool.
[04:11] HAMAJI
    Must be nice.
[04:12] HAMAJI
    A game at the Korakuen Stadium is my dream.
[04:15] MARUKO
    Hanawa-kun, you're living everyone's dreams.
[04:20] TAMAE
    That's true.
[04:21] TAMAE
    The least you can do is to share
    one with Hamaji or Nagasawa-kun.
[04:31] HIROSHI
    Yes! It's time for baseball!
[04:35] HIROSHI
    With beer and baseball, life is all roses!

    Okay, changing the station!

    This ends in 10 minutes, so please wait!

    No, no!
[04:56] MARUKO
    Come on, I want to watch this!
[04:58] TOMOZOU
    Me too!
[05:04] MARUKO
    How are we supposed to know
    what happens to Columbo?
[05:08] TOMOZOU
    So regretful!
[05:14] ANNOUNCER/I
    Now, Takada is up.
[05:15] ANNOUNCER/I
    The team could really use a hit here.
[05:18] ANNOUNCER/I
    One out, the bases are loaded.
[05:19] ANNOUNCER/I
    The Giants have a chance
    to score an additional run.
[05:22] HIROSHI
    All right, let's go, Takada!
[05:26] MARUKO
    Humph. Stingy Dad, I hope the Giants lose.
[05:30] TOMOZOU
    Humph, I hope they lose!
[05:32] HIROSHI
    Shut up! Go away!
[05:35] ANNOUNCER/I
    Oh, Takada's ready for a bunt.
[05:36] ANNOUNCER/I
    The Giants are going for a
    safe and solid additional run.
[05:39] HIROSHI
    One more run!
[05:42] HIROSHI
    Let's go!
[05:43] MARUKO

    that's feeling the cold...

    And that's a double play!

    Runners left on base!
[06:03] HIROSHI
    Darn idiot!
[06:06] MARUKO
    Oh Grandpa, I hear someone
    somewhere saying "idiot."
[06:12] TOMOZOU
    Who cares?
[06:14] HIROSHI
    Darn it, it was a chance to score a run! Man!
[06:25] MARUKO
    It's the grudge of detective Columbo.
[06:29] TOMOZOU
    Cold... isn't it, Hiroshi?
[06:34] HIROSHI
    Leave me alone!
[06:37] MARUKO
    Oh man, this sucks.
[06:39] MARUKO
    I hope the baseball game ends soon.
[06:41] TOMOZOU
    Hiroshi can be so bossy!
[06:45] MARUKO
    Mom, what are you doing?
[06:48] SUMIRE
    I'm making Dad's snack for his drink.
[06:50] MARUKO
    Mom, stop wasting your time
    and energy on that man.
[06:55] TOMOZOU
    That's right, Sumire-san.
[06:57] TOMOZOU
    I'm sorry about my son.
[06:59] SUMIRE
    What about?
[07:00] MARUKO
    Because of Dad's baseball, we
    couldn't see the end of Columbo.
[07:07] TOMOZOU
    It was only ten more minutes!
[07:10] TOMOZOU
    I can't fall asleep because I need to know
    how Columbo found out about the culprit!
[07:15] SUMIRE
    Oh my...
[07:16] SUMIRE
    I see you two are rather stressed out.
[07:19] MARUKO
    Mom, can't you do something?
[07:22] MARUKO
    We want to see other programs.
[07:24] TOMOZOU
    We do.
[07:26] SUMIRE
    I can't.
[07:27] SUMIRE
    No matter what we do, Dad's
    baseball craze won't be fixed.
[07:31] MARUKO
    Seriously?!
[07:33] MARUKO
    Then until I get married
    and leave this house,
[07:35] MARUKO
    I can't watch the shows
    I want because of Dad?
[07:39] TOMOZOU
    For me, it's until the day I die!
[07:44] MARUKO
    Come on, let's buy another TV.
[07:49] TOMOZOU
    Please!
[07:50] MARUKO
    TV! TV!

    All right, well done!

    They held on to their lead.
[08:04] HIROSHI
    I'll take a bath and go to sleep.
[08:06] MARUKO
    Humph.
[08:07] MARUKO
    All you do is take a bath and go
    to sleep even if the Giants win.
[08:12] MARUKO
    Doesn't make any difference.
[08:15] HIROSHI
    It's nice to take a bath feeling the victory.
[08:19] MARUKO
    Humph, humph, humph!

    of Columbo catching the culprit.

    The next day...
[08:32] MARUKO
    Hey, Maruo-kun.
[08:34] MARUKO
    Can you tell me how Columbo ended last night?
[08:37] MARUKO
    I didn't get to watch the ending.
[08:40] MARUO
    Yes, of course!
[08:42] MARUO
    The culprit turned off the electricity
    of the house at the time of the crime,
[08:47] MARUO
    which raised the temperature
    of the wine cellar.
[08:51] MARUO
    That, indeed, was the conclusive evidence!
[08:54] YAMADA
    I see, so that's what happened.
[08:57] YAMADA
    I saw it until the end, but
    I didn't get that at all.
[09:01] YAMADA
    Maruo, you're amazing.
[09:05] MARUO/I
    Being amazing for that doesn't
    really make me happy...

    Oh, a dead ball.
[09:40] WAKABAYASHI
    Fujiki seems to be in great pain.
[09:43] MARUKO
    Oh no, they made Fujiki cry.
[09:46] TAMAE
    When they know it's going
    to end up like that,
[09:48] TAMAE
    why would the boys do this every single day?
[09:54] NAGASAWA
    Fujiki-kun, don't cry.
[09:57] NAGASAWA
    Tears should be reserved for
    when they really matter.
[10:00] FUJIKI
    I know.
[10:01] FUJIKI
    Compared to the tears you shed on on
    the day of the fire, mine are not...
[10:07] TAMAE
    Oh, your dad is a Giants' fan.
[10:12] MARUKO
    When the night game starts,
    no one can stop him.
[10:16] MARUKO
    I'd rather watch a different show.
[10:18] TAMAE
    Then you can't watch
    today's Kin-Don, can you?
[10:22] TAMAE
    The guest is Momoe-chan today...

    Oh my. But Dad will want to see
    the night game, so maybe not.
[10:50] MARUKO
    Can't you do something?
[10:52] MARUKO
    That's why you're his wife, no?
[10:55] SUMIRE
    That's not why we got married.

    appear on today's Kin-Don.

    I'm going to!

    But there's a baseball game today,
    so maybe Dad won't let us...

    Uh, Hiroshi...
[11:35] TOMOZOU
    Today, something must be done.

    We need to come up with a good plan.

    It's evening already.
[12:22] MARUKO
    Not the time to be napping.
[12:25] TOMOZOU
    O-Oh, you're right.
[12:29] MARUKO
    A good plan came to me while I was napping.
[12:32] MARUKO
    What if you pretend to be sick, Grandpa?
[12:36] TOMOZOU
    Sick?
[12:37] MARUKO
    Be like, "It hurts! I'm going
    to die!" or something, and say,
[12:40] MARUKO
    "I want to watch Kin-Don before I die."
[12:43] MARUKO
    He's not a monster, so
    I bet he'll let us watch it.
[12:46] TOMOZOU
    Well done!
[12:48] TOMOZOU
    Maruko, you're a genius.
[12:49] TOMOZOU
    That's a good plan.

[18:44] HAMAJI/I
    It was cold and I wanted to pee and I got
    hungry, but I put up with all of that!
[18:49] HAMAJI/I
    And I'll never forget how
    it felt to have shaken hands
[18:52] HAMAJI/I
    with Yamashita and get his autograph...
[18:55] HAMAJI/I
    But I lost his autograph!
[18:59] HAMAJI/I
    I'm such an idiot!
[19:05] TAMAE
    Poor Hamaji.
[19:07] MARUKO
    I don't know how to console him.
[19:10] SEKIGUCHI
    Hey, Hamaji.
[19:11] SEKIGUCHI
    Did you bring Yamashita's autograph?
[19:14] WAKABAYASHI
    Show us.
[19:18] SEKIGUCHI
    What? You lost it?
[19:20] SEKIGUCHI
    That must be a lie.
[19:21] SEKIGUCHI
    You never had it to begin with, did you?
[19:24] HAMAJI
    It's not a lie!
[19:25] HAMAJI
    Please believe me!
[19:27] HAMAJI
    I was even on TV!
[19:29] MARUKO
    I hope he finds it soon.
[19:32] TAMAE
    I know.

[19:34] MARUKO
    What?! You're watching
    the baseball game again?!
[19:38] SAKIKO
    I want to watch a drama.
[19:40] SUMIRE
    Me too.
[19:41] MARUKO
    I want to watch a comedy show!
[19:44] HIROSHI
    Humph, shut up!
[19:46] HIROSHI
    I bought this TV.
[19:47] HIROSHI
    If you want to watch something
    else, buy your own TV.
[19:50] SAKIKO
    You're being so unreasonable.
[19:52] HIROSHI
    First of all, you simply don't
    understand the appeal of baseball.
[19:57] HIROSHI
    Man, it's pathetic!
[20:00] ANNOUNCER/I
    What is Shibata going to do?
[20:02] ANNOUNCER/I
    Runners are on first and second, two outs.
[20:04] ANNOUNCER/I
    We want a run here.
[20:06] HIROSHI
    Look.
[20:07] HIROSHI
    Shibata is driven into a corner right now.
[20:11] HIROSHI
    Every game, there's a drama like that.
[20:14] HIROSHI
    Baseball is not like a fake TV drama.
[20:17] HIROSHI
    You can laugh and cry every game,
    it's the best entertainment of all.
[20:22] MARUKO
    But I don't get the rules,
    so it's not interesting.
[20:25] SAKIKO
    Exactly.
[20:26] HIROSHI
    Learn them!
[20:28] HIROSHI
    Three outs and you change.
[20:30] HIROSHI
    Run through the bases and you score
    a run when you touch the home base.
[20:34] HIROSHI
    Learn the rules of baseball and
    root for the Giants with me.
[20:39] HIROSHI
    Then you'll have fun for the whole summer.
[20:42] MARUKO
    First of all, why are
    you a fan of the Giants?
[20:47] HIROSHI
    Huh? Me?
[20:50] HIROSHI/I
    Come to think of it, why am I so
    passionate about rooting for the Giants?
[20:54] HIROSHI/I
    I've never thought about it.
[20:57] HIROSHI/I
    I'm cheering for them, but I don't
    have a specific reason for it.
[21:02] HIROSHI/I
    It's more fun to have a team you root for.
[21:06] HIROSHI/I
    And it just happens to be the Giants.
[21:09] HIROSHI/I
    So I've been cheering for
    the Giants for no reason...
[21:14] MARUKO
    So why the Giants, huh?
[21:17] HIROSHI
    It's more fun to have a team
    to root for, so no reason.
[21:21] MARUKO
    What?! No reason?!
[21:24] MARUKO
    You can be that passionate
    about the Giants for no reason?
[21:28] HIROSHI
    Right. If I had to choose,
    they're on TV a lot,
[21:32] HIROSHI
    and Tokyo is kind of close
    to Shizuoka, you know?
[21:36] SAKIKO
    Then if we move to Osaka,
    you'll become a Tigers' fan?
[21:40] HIROSHI
    Sure, of course.
[21:42] HIROSHI
    If we move to Nagoya, a Dragons' fan.
[21:45] HIROSHI
    In Hiroshima, a Carp's fan.
[21:47] HIROSHI
    In Yokohama, a Taiyo's fan.
[21:49] HIROSHI
    That's how it works.
[21:53] SUMIRE/I
    This man...
[21:55] NARRATOR/I
    With no policy to speak of, he haphazardly
    enjoys watching baseball: that's Hiroshi.
[22:01] NARRATOR/I
    The days of not being able
    to watch the TV shows
[22:05] NARRATOR/I
    during the baseball season still continue.
