SIGN    Sakura [01:36] MARUKO     I'm home. [01:40] MARUKO     What's up? You're being creepy. [01:43] SAKIKO     Mom told me great news. [01:47] SUMIRE     Just now... [01:48] SIGN     Summer Festival [01:49] (Flashback) WOMAN     An acquaintance of mine is looking for     someone to donate girl's clothes to. [01:53] (Flashback) WOMAN     They're for girls around Sakiko-chan's     age, so I think it's perfect for her. [01:57] SUMIRE     So they're giving us the clothes. [02:00] MARUKO     Is that all? [02:01] MARUKO     So they're hand-me-downs. [02:03] MARUKO     Now you'll know how I feel,     having to wear used clothes, Big Sis. [02:09] SAKIKO     But the thing is, they're from     a fashionable girl from Tokyo! [02:13] MARUKO     Huh? [02:14] SAKIKO     I bet they're cute clothes     you can't buy around here. [02:19] MARUKO     What? [02:20] SAKIKO     I'm so excited! [02:22] MARUKO     That's not fair. [02:24] MARUKO     Then buy me some new clothes instead. [02:27] SAKIKO     Instead of what? [02:29] SUMIRE     Exactly. I'm not buying you anything. [02:32] MARUKO     Seriously?! That's totally unfair! [02:37] NARRATOR/I     A few days later... [02:42] TOMOZOU     You got that many? [02:44] SUMIRE     Yes, it feels like an undeserved favor. [02:46] SUMIRE     But apparently the girl from Tokyo     was happy to part with them. [02:48] MARUKO     Are you sure about that? [02:50] SAKIKO     Wow! This is so cute! [02:54] MARUKO     I've seen something similar around here. [02:57] SAKIKO     Wow! This is adorable too! [03:00] KOTAKE     Very fashionable. [03:02] TOMOZOU     Feels like it has a scent of Tokyo. [03:05] MARUKO     Sniff, sniff. [03:06] MARUKO     I smell no such thing. [03:14] SAKIKO     I've always wanted a dress like this! [03:20] SAKIKO     So cute! [03:23] SAKIKO     What do you think? [03:24] SAKIKO     I'm going out the day after tomorrow,     so maybe I'll wear this. [03:27] SUMIRE     Oh well, it's still a bit too big on you. [03:31] SAKIKO     You think so? [03:32] MARUKO     Girls in Tokyo are all tall. [03:36] NARRATOR/I     That's not true. [03:39] SUMIRE     It fits better this way. [03:41] SAKIKO     I think it was just fine the way it was. [03:44] KOTAKE     You look even better when the     clothes fit you properly. [03:47] SAKIKO     Then can you alter it, Mom? [03:50] SUMIRE     I'd love to, but I don't think I can     finish it by the day after tomorrow. [03:54] SAKIKO     No? [03:55] KOTAKE     It's fine, I can do it. [03:58] SAKIKO     You can?! [04:00] SUMIRE     I appreciate it. [04:01] MARUKO     You can do it that fast? [04:03] KOTAKE     I used to alter my own clothes. [04:06] MARUKO     Wow. [04:09] MARUKO     Big Sis is getting the royal treatment. [04:13] SUMIRE     Let it go already. [04:16] MARUKO     Then can I have one of your outfits? [04:21] SAKIKO     Why? [04:22] MARUKO     Because I want new clothes too. [04:25] SAKIKO     You can have something I don't wear anymore. [04:28] MARUKO     Then it's just the same old hand-me-down. [04:30] MARUKO     I want to choose the clothes I want. [04:33] SAKIKO     But the clothes I wear are too big for you. [04:37] MARUKO     So I want Grandma to alter it for me. [04:41] SUMIRE     Don't be ridiculous. [04:42] SUMIRE     Mending clothes for two is a lot of work. [04:44] SUMIRE     I'll do yours when I have time. [04:47] MARUKO     I want to wear it soon. [04:49] SAKIKO     Don't be selfish! [04:51] MARUKO     But... [04:54] KOTAKE     It's okay, I can alter Maruko's clothes too. [04:57] MARUKO     Really?! [04:58] KOTAKE     But Big Sis's first, okay? [05:01] MARUKO     Okay! [05:04] NARRATOR/I     The next day... [05:06] MARUKO     T-shirts, skirts, dresses,     they are all super cute! [05:11] TAMAE     Just hearing "a girl from Tokyo" feels     like all those clothes are fancy. [05:21] KOSUGI     This is the chocolate I spilled earlier. [05:23] KOSUGI     It smells delicious. [05:25] BUTARO     It snagged on a branch and it ripped, boo. [05:28] MARUKO     Well, it's pointless to dress     up around people like these. [05:34] HAMAJI     Listen, we've never seen     Sakura dress up, have we? [05:39] MARUKO     Quiet, you! [05:44] BUTARO     You're no different than Kosugi, boo. [05:47] HAMAJI     You're ten years too early     for Tokyo's clothes. [05:55] MARUKO     Mom's gonna yell at me again. [05:59] TAMAE     But Maru-chan, it's nice that your     grandma is doing the alteration for you. [06:05] MARUKO     I'm hoping she'll add     some nice embellishment. [06:09] TAMAE     Like what? [06:11] MARUKO     Let's see... [06:13] JOGASAKI     You want me to teach you about fashion? [06:16] MARUKO     Yes. [06:16] MARUKO     I'm getting my clothes altered, and I     was hoping you could give me some ideas. [06:22] JOGASAKI     Alteration, huh? [06:24] JOGASAKI     Oh, I know! [06:30] TAMAE     Wow! This dress is adorable! [06:33] MARUKO     I expect nothing less from you, Jogasaki-san. [06:36] JOGASAKI     My mom altered it for me the other day. [06:40] MARUKO     Really? Where did you fix it? [06:43] JOGASAKI     It was too big, so I had it taken in, and my     mom made a bow with the extra fabric. [06:49] MARUKO     That's a nice idea. [06:51] MARUKO     I'll ask my grandma to do the same for me. [06:56] MARUKO     Which one of Big Sis's outfits should I pick? [07:00] MARUKO     Hm, maybe this? [07:02] MARUKO     But that one's nice too. [07:04] MARUKO     Oh, this one... [07:09] (Flashback) SAKIKO     It's getting a little tight... [07:19] SAKIKO     Hey! That's mine! [07:22] MARUKO     You promised me I could pick one. [07:25] SAKIKO     Not that one. [07:26] MARUKO     Why not? I want this. [07:28] SAKIKO     No way! Give it back! [07:33] SAKIKO     Hey, let it go! [07:35] KOTAKE     Oh my. What are you two doing? [07:39] SAKIKO     It's Maruko! [07:40] MARUKO     I want this one. [07:44] KOTAKE     Oh, I see. [07:46] KOTAKE     You know, I'm about to finish     your cute dress, Big Sis. [07:50] SAKIKO     But... [07:54] MARUKO     It's mine! [07:55] KOTAKE     Come now.

[08:18] MARUKO     Overworking your grandma?     Some grandchild you are. [08:22] NARRATOR/I     You're in no position to say that. [08:24] SUMIRE     I knew it would be a good idea to alter it. [08:27] TOMOZOU     You look great. Like a girl from Tokyo. [08:31] MARUKO     Grandma, it's my turn next, right? [08:34] SUMIRE     Maruko. [08:37] KOTAKE     Actually Maruko, yours is done too. [08:40] MARUKO     Yay! Thank you, Grandma! [08:46] MARUKO     I'm so happy! It's so lovely! [08:49] MARUKO     What do you think? Do I look cute? [08:51] TOMOZOU     Yes, you do. [08:53] SAKIKO     The bow's... kinda cute. [08:56] SUMIRE     Oh? Right there... [08:58] SUMIRE     Isn't it too small? Not too tight? [09:01] MARUKO     No, not really. [09:03] KOTAKE     Let me see. [09:06] KOTAKE     You're right. [09:08] KOTAKE     I thought I made it one size     bigger than your last alteration. [09:13] MARUKO     This is fine. [09:15] KOTAKE     It may not be too obvious,     but you're growing up too. [09:19] SAKIKO     Okay, I'm off! [09:22] MARUKO     I want to show this to someone too. [09:26] HAMAJI     Let's go! [09:27] KOSUGI     Don't you lose! [09:28] BUTARO     Boo! [09:31] MARUKO     There's no girl here. [09:34] HAMAJI     Hey, Yamada! Watch out for the ball! [09:37] MARUKO     Well, it'd be a waste to show you all. [09:52] HAMAJI     Hey, Sakura! [10:01] HAMAJI     What's wrong?! [10:03] MARUKO     It ripped. [10:06] HAMAJI     I'm sorry... [10:07] MARUKO     Today was my first time wearing this dress... [10:12] KOTAKE     Oh my. [10:14] MARUKO     I ruined your hard work... [10:16] KOTAKE     Don't worry. Kids are supposed     to be full of energy like that. [10:20] KOTAKE     Why don't you take it off? [10:22] MARUKO     Okay. [10:25] KOTAKE     But perhaps I made this     too small for you, Maruko. [10:31] MARUKO     That's not true. [10:34] KOTAKE     What do you say? [10:35] KOTAKE     Pass this on to a girl smaller than you? [10:39] MARUKO     But... [10:40] KOTAKE     I'll alter something else for you. [10:44] MARUKO     Okay! Thank you, Grandma! [10:47] TOMOZOU     Good girl, Maruko! [10:49] TOMOZOU     Maybe you can alter my clothes next, Grandma. [10:54] KOTAKE     Grandpa, look at the sleeves     of the shirt you're wearing. [11:01] KOTAKE     I mend your clothes all the time,     like fixing small holes. [11:08] TOMOZOU/I     I had no idea! [11:09] TOMOZOU/I     The biggest blunder of my life!

[11:44] MARUKO     Oh, I see Hamaji and the others. [11:46] MARUKO     I wonder what they're doing. [11:50] KOSUGI     We're taking turns telling ghost stories. [11:53] KOSUGI     It'll chill you to the bone. [11:55] MARUKO     Really? Ghost stories? [11:57] HAMAJI     The next one is the last one. [12:00] HAMAJI     Do you want to join us? [12:02] MARUKO     Hey, do you want to stay? [12:04] MARUKO     I think it might help us cool down. [12:06] TAMAE     Sure, okay. [12:08] MARUKO     Hooray! [12:11] HAMAJI     When you look into the infinity mirror,     your face is multiplied a lot, right? [12:16] MARUKO     Right, it does. [12:18] HAMAJI     If you count those faces,     the 13th face is the face of a ghost. [12:24] HAMAJI     And if you meet the eyes of     the ghost, it will say... [12:30] GHOST     Switch with me! [12:33] HAMAJI     And you get possessed,     get pulled into the mirror, and... [12:39] HAMAJI     You'll turn into the ghost of the mirror! [12:44] MARUKO     That's scary! [12:46] MARUKO     I feel cooler, but I don't     like the story. What do I do? [12:50] TAMAE     But you don't really need to make     the infinity mirror, do you? [12:54] TAMAE     I think you're safe. [12:57] MARUKO     I guess you're right. [12:58] MARUKO     Thanks, Tama-chan. [13:00] MARUKO     Thank God, Thank Buddha,     thank Tama-chan-sama, I tell you!

[13:47] MARUKO     I-I'll go get Mom. [13:50] SAKIKO     Mom's stepped out. [13:52] MARUKO     Really? Then can you come help me, Big Sis? [13:57] SAKIKO     Huh? [13:59] NARRATOR/I     Big Sis had a feeling, "I'm gonna     get pulled into something dumb." [14:04] MARUKO     Grandpa's head might be haunted by a ghost. [14:09] MARUKO     But I'm too scared to look,     so can you do it for me? [14:14] SAKIKO     What does that mean? [14:15] SAKIKO     Why would a ghost haunt Grandpa's head? [14:18] SAKIKO     Can't you wait until Mom comes home? [14:21] SAKIKO     More importantly, I don't think     a ghost would haunt a head. [14:25] MARUKO     Like I said, I want you to     confirm if it is or not. [14:29] MARUKO     Because I'm scared if it is. [14:31] SAKIKO     I don't want to look at something     you'd be too scared to check. [14:35] SAKIKO     And let's say there was a     ghost, for argument's sake. [14:37] SAKIKO     What do you plan to do? [14:39] MARUKO     That's... [14:41] MARUKO     I don't know what to do, can you     come up with a plan with me? [14:47] SAKIKO     Huh? [14:52] SAKIKO     How about salt? [14:53] MARUKO     Salt? [14:54] SAKIKO     You sprinkle salt after a funeral, you know? [14:56] SAKIKO     Sumo wrestlers do that to purify     the space before a match. [15:00] MARUKO     I see! [15:02] SAKIKO     We will count to three, then I     want you to poke your head out [15:06] SAKIKO     with the back of your head towards     us and say, "Ready," okay? [15:11] TOMOZOU     Huh? W-Why...? [15:14] MARUKO     We don't know if your head is haunted,     but we'll sprinkle salt on your head. [15:19] TOMOZOU     Salt? [15:21] TOMOZOU     Oh! For purification! [15:23] TOMOZOU     What smart sisters... [15:26] TOMOZOU     I'm grateful to be a grandfather     of such smart sisters. [15:30] SAKIKO     Okay. [15:31] SAKIKO     One, two, three!

[15:46] MARUKO     Let's sprinkle some more! [15:47] SUMIRE     I'm home. [15:49] MARUKO     Mom! [15:51] SUMIRE     What are you doing? [15:54] SUMIRE     It's inflamed and turned red a little bit. [15:57] SUMIRE     Obviously, there's no ghost haunting it. [16:03] SUMIRE     Jeez, what do I do with you...? [16:06] TOMOZOU     Mom, please don't scold them. [16:09] TOMOZOU     They did it out of compassion for me. [16:12] MARUKO     Exactly. You've no idea what we went through. [16:18] NARRATOR/I     The next day... [16:21] MARUKO     Oh.

[16:30] NAGASAWA     So after I take a break     here, I'm going to go home. [16:33] MARUKO     Oh yeah? [16:34] MARUKO     You wanna hear a story     that'll chill you to the bone? [16:41] MARUKO     Well? It's so scary, it made     you feel cooler, right? [16:45] NAGASAWA     Not really. [16:46] MARUKO     Huh? Really? [16:48] MARUKO     It wasn't scary for you? [16:49] NAGASAWA     No. Because I know a story about mirrors     that is more terrifying than that. [16:55] MARUKO/TOMOZOU     What?! More terrifying?! [16:57] NAGASAWA     Yeah. [16:58] NAGASAWA     There was once a man who loved stuff that     showed reflections, like lens and glass. [17:04] NAGASAWA     This man happened to get inside a ball,     whose interior was covered in mirror. [17:09] NAGASAWA     And he got stuck there, couldn't get out. [17:12] NAGASAWA     So he goes through such an ordeal. [17:15] TOMOZOU     The inside is covered with mirror? [17:18] TOMOZOU     What kind of faces would one see? [17:20] MARUKO     What happens to this man? [17:24] NAGASAWA     It's scary even to remember the     story, so I don't want to tell you. [17:27] MARUKO     It's that scary?! [17:29] NAGASAWA     It's in the book at the library,     so why don't you read it yourself? [17:34] NAGASAWA     For a while, I was too scared     to look into the mirrors. [17:39] MARUKO     What? [17:40] MARUKO     I meant to scare you, but the tables     have turned and now I'm scared. SIGN    Sakura [17:46] MARUKO     Now, that's perfect. [17:49] SAKIKO     Hey, what is this?

[18:55] HAMAJI     It's my face that's reflected in the mirror. [18:58] HAMAJI     My face is funny, right? [19:01] HAMAJI     So I'm not so scared. [19:03] MARUKO     I see. You're lucky you've got a funny face. [19:08] MARUKO     What am I to do? [19:11] HAMAJI     Then why don't you put up a picture     of a funny face on the mirror? [19:17] HAMAJI     Why not get close? Why not, why not? [19:24] MARUKO     You're right. I'll give it a try. [19:27] TOMOZOU     A funny face, huh? [19:31] MARUKO     It's not so easy, right? [19:33] TOMOZOU     Ah! Let me see... [19:36] TOMOZOU     Here. If you wear this, the face in the     mirror will have the glasses and the nose. [19:42] TOMOZOU     And even if the ghost does show up, [19:43] TOMOZOU     a ghost wearing this won't     be too scary, you know? [19:49] TOMOZOU     What do you think?
