    Whoa, you scared me.
[01:56] SAKIKO
    Do something about the
    bell crickets, will you?!
[01:59] SAKIKO
    It's so loud that I can't even read!
[02:13] MARUKO
    It can't be stopped...
[02:16] SAKIKO
    It's all your fault for getting
    bell crickets last year, you idiot!
[02:21] MARUKO
    Stop talking about last
    year, or demons will laugh.
[02:25] NARRATOR/I
    That's "next year."
[02:28] MARUKO/I
    I mean, last year, I never imagined
    that they would multiply so much.
[02:36] MARUKO/I
    When I got them last year,
    there were only ten of them.
[02:42] MARUKO/I
    But then, this spring...
[02:45] MARUKO
    Oh!
[02:46] MARUKO
    It's lined with the eggs
    of the bell crickets!
[02:51] MARUKO
    If they hatch, it would be a problem...
[02:56] MARUKO/I
    They did hatch and grow, and here we are.
[03:00] SAKIKO
    Anyhow, keep that
    terrarium out of this room!
[03:03] MARUKO
    Okay.
[03:10] MARUKO
    By your leave, ma'am.
[03:14] SAKIKO
    Stop playing around and go!
[03:18] MARUKO
    My gosh, where should I put this?
[03:23] MARUKO
    Mom, can I put these bell
    crickets in the kitchen?
[03:27] SUMIRE
    No.

    There are some on the

[03:35] SUMIRE
    They're all over the house.

    That's great!
[04:26] MARUKO
    I didn't have anywhere to place
    them, so I was wandering around.
[04:29] TOMOZOU
    I feel for you.
[04:33] MARUKO
    Grandpa, tell me a poem with
    a theme of bell crickets.

    Why do they sound like bells?
[05:14] TOMOZOU
    Listen, Maruko.
[05:15] TOMOZOU
    The sound of the bell crickets
    is ringing in the sky too.
[05:21] MARUKO
    You're right.
[05:23] MARUKO
    It resonates through the
    ends of the universe.
[05:29] TOMOZOU
    There aren't other insects as nice as them.
[05:32] MARUKO
    Grandpa, I'm glad to be in
    Japan, where bell crickets are.
[05:37] MARUKO
    Japan is the best.
[05:40] TOMOZOU
    Maruko, leave these bell crickets to me.
[05:45] MARUKO
    Okay.

    Oh!
[07:06] MARUKO
    There's a bell cricket on your head!
[07:10] MARUKO
    Oh no, they got out of the cage!
[07:12] SAKIKO
    What are you going to do?
[07:13] SAKIKO
    If they let loose in the house,
    it's going to be so loud!
[07:17] KOTAKE
    I caught them for you.
[07:19] MARUKO
    You did?!
[07:20] MARUKO
    Thank you, Grandma.
[07:23] SAKIKO
    That was so close.
[07:24] TOMOZOU
    Maruko, I'm sorry, but could you move
    the bell crickets to another room?
[07:31] TOMOZOU
    I had a nightmare last night because of them.

    Why did you bring them back?
[12:32] SUMIRE
    You went through the trouble
    of bringing them there.
[12:34] MARUKO
    Because they were noisy at school too.
[12:37] MARUKO
    There are just too many.
[12:38] MARUKO
    Five or six would have been fine.
[12:41] SUMIRE
    Then you could have released them somewhere.
[12:44] MARUKO
    What?
[12:45] SUMIRE
    First of all, you were so hyped up
    about critters before we got them,
[12:49] SUMIRE
    but once they were here, you
    never took care of them.
[12:52] SUMIRE
    I ended up doing everything
    for the bell crickets.

    I'm fed up with it.

    I'm always telling you not to cause
    trouble for others, aren't I?!

    of yourself, let alone the bell crickets!
