[01:30] MARUKO
    "Dad's Holiday."
[01:38] MARUKO
    Oh man. Big Sis went out, so I'm bored.
[01:44] TOMOZOU
    Then how about taking a walk with me?
[01:47] MARUKO
    In this rain? I don't wanna go.
[01:50] TOMOZOU
    I see...
[01:53] MARUKO
    Oh.
[01:54] MARUKO
    Mom, what's for lunch?
[01:57] MARUKO
    I could really use an unexpected joy.
[02:00] SUMIRE
    It's cold somen noodles.
[02:01] MARUKO
    What? Not again!
[02:04] SUMIRE
    It's cold somen noodles.
[02:05] MARUKO
    Can't you at least make it flowing noodles?
[02:09] SUMIRE
    I can't.
[02:14] MARUKO
    Dad!
[02:16] MARUKO
    Do you want to play with me once in a while?
[02:19] HIROSHI
    No, thanks. I'm busy.
[02:21] MARUKO
    Busy? Your book is upside down, and
    you were napping just a minute ago.
[02:29] NARRATOR/I
    Hiroshi, why do you tell such an obvious lie?
[02:33] HIROSHI
    I just want to chill out on my day off.
[02:36] HIROSHI
    I don't have time to play.
[02:38] MARUKO
    You say that, but your time
    with me is running out.
[02:44] MARUKO
    My cute childhood will be over in a flash.
[02:47] HIROSHI
    Okay...
[02:49] MARUKO
    How about playing horsey?
[02:52] HIROSHI
    That sounds tiring...
[02:52] MARUKO
    Yay! Yay!
[02:54] MARUKO
    Then how about playing house?
[02:57] HIROSHI
    "Have a good day," "I'm home."
[02:59] HIROSHI
    I do that every day. No thanks.
[03:03] MARUKO
    Then read me a book.
[03:05] HIROSHI
    I'm not interested.
[03:08] MARUKO
    What's your idea of play and fun?
[03:13] HIROSHI
    Drinking, fishing, and
    watching baseball, of course.
[03:20] HIROSHI
    I'm an adult, and you're a child.
[03:23] HIROSHI
    We live in different worlds.
[03:25] HIROSHI
    You'd better give up.
[03:28] MARUKO
    Is there something we can play inside
    the house that Dad might enjoy?
[03:34] TOMOZOU
    How about a game of moving
    beans with your chopsticks?
[03:38] MARUKO
    Wow, what is that? Is it fun?
[03:40] TOMOZOU
    Moving slippery beans from the
    right plate to the left one
[03:46] TOMOZOU
    requires fine motor skills,
    and it's good for your brain.
[03:50] TOMOZOU
    They told me at the seniors' association.
[03:52] MARUKO
    Oh yeah?
[03:53] TOMOZOU
    Once you're done moving them from
    right to left, then do left to right.
[03:57] TOMOZOU
    You can play it endlessly.
[03:59] TOMOZOU
    What do you think?
[04:01] MARUKO
    I don't want to do that.
[04:04] MARUKO
    You can do it by yourself if
    that's what you want to do.
[04:12] TOMOZOU
    Oh, Hiroshi.
[04:13] TOMOZOU
    Do you want to move beans
    from right to left with me?
[04:18] HIROSHI
    Huh? Beans?
[04:19] TOMOZOU
    Right to left, then left to right.
[04:22] TOMOZOU
    It'll be fun.
[04:23] HIROSHI
    I don't wanna do that.
[04:29] MARUKO
    H-Hey, I saw boys do it at school before.
[04:33] MARUKO
    How about making a paper
    pistol with newspaper?
[04:37] MARUKO
    The one that makes a bang noise.
[04:40] TOMOZOU
    Oh, that one!
[04:42] MARUKO
    You won't sweat, it's not playing
    house, and it's not reading a book.
[04:47] MARUKO
    Let's make a loud bang
    with gusto and have fun!
[04:50] MARUKO
    What do you say, Dad?
[04:52] HIROSHI
    No thanks! I'm watching the news right now.
[04:57] TOMOZOU
    Maruko, I'll make it with you.
[05:01] MARUKO
    Okay!
[05:04] MARUKO
    Hm? How does it go next?
[05:08] TOMOZOU
    Let's see... I don't remember...
[05:11] MARUKO
    Um... That's strange.
[05:14] HIROSHI
    Not like that. Open it once and
    fold the corner into a triangle.
[05:19] MARUKO
    Um, which means what?
[05:22] HIROSHI
    You're hopeless. Let me.
[05:26] MARUKO
    It's done!
[05:32] MARUKO
    Wow! It's fun!
[05:34] MARUKO
    It might be fun to use this with
    chants when someone is singing?
[05:38] TOMOZOU
    Oh, I see.
[05:40] MARUKO
    Grandpa, sing something for us.
[05:43] MARUKO
    How about Hideki's song?
[05:45] MARUKO
    Dad, we'll hype it up with chants.
[05:49] TOMOZOU/I
    If it's what you desire
[05:53] MARUKO
    Tomozou!
[05:54] MARUKO
    Hey Dad, you do it too.
[05:58] HIROSHI
    Gosh, what a bother.
[06:00] TOMOZOU/I
    If it's what you desire
[06:03] MARUKO
    Tomo!
[06:04] HIROSHI
    Zou...
[06:05] TOMOZOU/I
    I don't mind giving you my life
[06:08] MARUKO
    Tomo!
[06:09] HIROSHI
    Zou...
[06:11] SAKIKO
    Shut up!
[06:14] MARUKO
    Oh Big Sis, you're back.
[06:16] SAKIKO
    Don't interject weird stuff in Hideki's song!
[06:19] MARUKO/HIROSHI/TOMOZOU
    O-Okay...
[06:22] MARUKO
    Oh! Dad, let's make shaved ice!
[06:25] HIROSHI
    Yeah, I want to eat it,
    but it's too much work.
[06:29] MARUKO
    It'll cool you down.
[06:31] HIROSHI
    Unless your role is "only eating,"
    making shaved ice is a lot of work.
[06:36] HIROSHI
    It'll make me even hotter.
[06:38] MARUKO
    But the shaved ice after you
    sweat would taste even better.
[06:43] TV REPORTER/I
    Wow, so cold! So yummy!

[06:48] HIROSHI
    Okay, fine. Let's do it.
[06:50] MARUKO
    Yay! All right!
[06:58] HIROSHI
    Here you go.
[07:00] MARUKO
    Wow, thank you.
[07:03] SAKIKO
    Hey Dad, I want some too.
[07:06] TOMOZOU
    Me too!
[07:10] HIROSHI
    This is all I get after
    the hard work I put in?
[07:14] MARUKO
    Dad, let me pour you some syrup.
[07:16] HIROSHI
    No, thanks.
SIGN    Sake Fujizakari
[07:21] HIROSHI
    I'm going to use this.
[07:24] MARUKO
    Oh, sake.
[07:30] HIROSHI
    So good! This is the best.
[07:35] HIROSHI
    Maybe I'll take a nap.
[07:37] MARUKO
    Good idea.
[07:39] SUMIRE
    Dad, I'm thinking about replacing
    the paper of the shoji screen.
[07:42] HIROSHI
    Huh? We did that at the end of last year.
[07:45] SUMIRE
    We did, but one of the screens
    has a light stain at the bottom,
[07:50] SUMIRE
    and it's been bothering me.
[07:52] HIROSHI
    Is that so?
[07:53] SUMIRE
    I have to run some errands, so
    do you mind doing it for me?
[07:56] HIROSHI
    Who, me? Right now?
[07:59] SUMIRE
    The paper gets stretchier on
    a rainy day, so it's perfect.
[08:02] HIROSHI
    What? I didn't even notice the stain, though.
[08:06] HIROSHI
    Plus, Maruko and I were
    going to take a nap now.
[08:10] HIROSHI
    Right?
[08:11] MARUKO
    Yup, that's right.
[08:13] HIROSHI
    See?
[08:14] HIROSHI
    Let's wait for the next rainy day.
[08:18] SUMIRE
    Maruko, if you help replace the screen
    right now, I'll give you 30 yen.
[08:23] MARUKO
    Really?! Then I'll do it!
[08:25] HIROSHI
    You traitor!
[08:27] MARUKO
    Hehehe, you'll have to forgive me, master.
[08:31] HIROSHI
    What a bother.
[08:33] SUMIRE
    Since we're replacing it, go
    ahead and rip the paper off.
[08:43] SUMIRE
    Huh?! You ripped that one too?!
[08:46] SUMIRE
    Only Maruko's side needed replacing.
[08:49] SUMIRE
    I said, "one of the screens"!
[08:51] HIROSHI
    Did you?
[08:53] SUMIRE
    I guess we'll have to replace both.
[08:58] MARUKO
    We're done!
[09:00] MARUKO
    It's too late to take a nap.
[09:02] HIROSHI
    It stopped raining too.
[09:04] HIROSHI
    Maybe I'll go take a walk on
    my way to get some cigarettes.
[09:07] HIROSHI
    Maruko, you want to come with me?
[09:09] MARUKO
    Yes, I'll come!
[09:10] SUMIRE
    Can you buy oil and flour while you're at it?
[09:14] SUMIRE
    I need a little more to make tempura.
[09:16] HIROSHI
    Sure.
[09:19] HIROSHI
    It's still bright out.
[09:22] MARUKO
    The sky after rain is pretty.
[09:25] MARUKO
    Hm?
[09:27] MARUKO
    Dad, melons are on sale today.
[09:30] HIROSHI
    You're right.
[09:32] MARUKO
    Can we get it, please?
[09:36] HIROSHI
    It's heavier than I thought.
[09:38] MARUKO
    Hooray, hooray, Dad!
[09:41] HIROSHI
    Aren't you a smooth talker?
[09:46] MARUKO
    Aw, aw, aw!
[09:48] HIROSHI
    Are you okay?
[09:49] MARUKO
    My foot!
[09:53] HIROSHI
    Want a piggyback ride?
[09:54] GIRL
    Up! Up!
[09:55] WOMAN
    My my, aren't you spoiled?
[09:58] MARUKO
    I'm fine. I can walk.
[10:02] MARUKO
    Ouch...
[10:06] MARUKO
    I said I'm fine.
[10:10] HIROSHI
    You've gotten heavy.
[10:12] MARUKO
    I bet it's the melon.
[10:15] HIROSHI
    Then should we return it?
[10:18] MARUKO
    Huh?! No! You can't do that!
[10:20] HIROSHI
    All right.
[10:25] HIROSHI
    It was my day off, but I didn't
    really do anything special.

[10:36] MARUKO
    replaced shoji screens,
    and then bought a melon.
[10:41] MARUKO
    Plus a piggyback ride.
[10:44] MARUKO
    We did a lot of things. It was fun.
[10:48] HIROSHI
    Is that so?
[10:55] MARUKO
    So tasty.

    When I was looking for the
    shoji paper, I found fireworks.

[11:01] SUMIRE
    Do you want to try them?
[11:14] HIROSHI
    I didn't do anything special today, but I'm
    glad that the kids seem to have had fun.
[11:21] SUMIRE
    That's true. We have fresh
    paper on our shoji screens too.
[11:26] HIROSHI
    What's up?
[11:27] MARUKO
    I'm thirsty, so I came to get some water.
[11:32] MARUKO
    Oh, fireworks!
[11:35] MARUKO
    Can I watch?
[11:38] HIROSHI
    Just for a while.

    Did I imagine it?

[13:12] TAMAE
    Thank you, Mom.

    Jeez, that scared me.
[13:16] TAMAE'S MOM
    I was scared too.

[13:51] MARUKO
    Hello?
[13:52] TAMAE/I
    Oh, Maru-chan!
[13:54] TAMAE/I
    I'm sorry, I know we promised to play today,
[13:57] TAMAE/I
    but something's come up and
    I have to watch the house.
[14:00] MARUKO
    Oh, Okay. Not much we can do about that.
[14:06] TAMAE
    Maru-chan, were you still
    asleep by any chance?
[14:09] TAMAE
    It's almost noon.
[14:11] MARUKO
    Huh?
[14:14] MARUKO
    I couldn't really get to sleep because of
    the ghost special program on TV last night.
[14:19] TAMAE/I
    Oh, the ghost special.
[14:21] MARUKO
    Yesterday's "Ghost Bird" was frightening.
[14:25] MARUKO
    It cries with such an eerie
    voice, "Creak, creak."
[14:33] MARUKO
    But something like that
    doesn't exist in real life,
[14:36] MARUKO
    so it's all right.
[14:40] MARUKO
    Tama-chan?
[14:43] TAMAE
    Well, the thing is...
[14:46] SAKIKO
    Jeez, what a lazy bun.
[14:50] SUMIRE
    After you eat, make sure
    you do your homework.
[14:53] MARUKO
    Oh no, I don't have time for that.
[14:55] MARUKO
    After I eat, I need to
    go to Tama-chan's place.
[14:58] SUMIRE
    You can play after you
    finish today's homework.
[15:01] MARUKO
    Oh please, I'm not going there to play.
[15:04] SAKIKO/SUMIRE/TOMOZOU
    What?!
[15:06] MARUKO
    Apparently there was a Ghost
    Bird at Tama-chan's house.
[15:09] SAKIKO/SUMIRE/TOMOZOU
    What?!
[15:11] TAMAE/I
    I heard it last night.
[15:14] TAMAE
    "Creak, creak," just like you did.
[15:18] TAMAE
    It was kind of creepy.
[15:22] MARUKO
    I-Is that so?
[15:25] MARUKO
    Tama-chan has to watch the house alone today!

    "Bringing him would be useless."
[15:50] NARRATOR/I
    That's what Maruko thought.
[15:54] MARUKO/I
    But what could be causing the noise?
[15:57] MARUKO/I
    Obviously, a ghost can't exist for real.
[16:02] MARUKO/I
    Hm?
[16:19] MARUKO/I
    Wait, don't tell me...
[16:22] MARUKO/I
    This reminds me...
[16:23] (Flashback) MAN
    Someone's coming to get me.
[16:26] (Flashback) MAN
    I had that lingering feeling.

    No, no, no way!

    Welcome!
[16:54] TAMAE
    What's the matter?
[16:56] MARUKO
    Nothing.
[16:58] MARUKO
    Did you hear any more voices after that?
[17:00] TAMAE
    No. I was half asleep, so
    I must have imagined it.
[17:04] MARUKO
    Okay, that's good to hear.
[17:07] MARUKO
    By golly, we both have so many dresses
    we don't know what to do with.
[17:12] MARUKO
    I know, perhaps I'll have some
    of them altered for Francois.
[17:16] TAMAE
    So your daughter's name is Francois.
[17:21] MARUKO
    Oh, please. Francois is my dog.
[17:24] TAMAE
    I-Is that so?
[17:27] MARUKO
    I've had enough of playing with dolls.
[17:30] TAMAE
    Then shall we play something else?
[17:36] TAMAE
    J-Jeez, that was scary, huh?
[17:38] MARUKO
    Th-That was a wind, wasn't it?
[17:40] TAMAE
    Yeah, it was just some wind.
[17:43] MARUKO
    I know, right?
[17:48] (Flashback) MAN
    It's just wind. It's got to be.
[17:59] TAMAE
    Do you want to play tiddlywinks next?
[18:01] MARUKO
    Huh? Oh, Sure.
[18:03] TAMAE
    I played it with my mom yesterday.
[18:06] TAMAE
    It's downstairs, so I'll go grab it.
[18:08] MARUKO/I
    Don't leave me alone right now.
[18:11] MARUKO
    You don't have to go!
[18:14] TAMAE
    Huh?
[18:14] MARUKO
    Let's keep on playing with dolls.
[18:16] TAMAE
    But you said you had enough...
[18:18] MARUKO
    Not enough at all!
[18:20] MARUKO
    I just want to play with
    dolls as long as we can.
[18:24] TAMAE
    As long as we can?
[18:25] MARUKO
    Yes. Forever.
[18:27] TAMAE
    Forever?

    Ma'am.

    But let me go use the bathroom first.
[18:47] MARUKO
    What?!

    She couldn't say "no" to using the bathroom.

    Maruko had no choice but to watch her go.

[19:07] MARUKO
    Wh-What's on the menu tonight?
[19:10] MARUKO
    Ma'am, we have sushi, tempura, beef
    steak, and pudding for dessert tonight.

    This is it!
[20:20] MARUKO
    The Ghost Bird!
[20:22] TAMAE'S MOM
    I'm sorry.
[20:24] TAMAE'S MOM
    The hinge of the door is creaky.
[20:27] TAMAE'S MOM
    I'll add some oil to it.
[20:29] TAMAE
    Then what I heard last night...
[20:31] TAMAE'S MOM
    Maybe your dad used this room last night?
[20:36] MARUKO
    I see.
[20:38] TAMAE'S MOM
    I almost forgot.
[20:39] TAMAE'S MOM
    I bought some cakes.
[20:40] TAMAE'S MOM
    It's time for snacks.
[20:42] MARUKO
    Cakes? Yay!
[20:44] MARUKO
    Thank you very much!
[20:48] TAMAE/I
    But what was Dad doing
    there so late at night?
[20:54] MARUKO
    Tama-chan.
[20:55] TAMAE
    Hm?
[20:56] MARUKO
    Anything wrong?
[20:57] TAMAE
    Oh no, it's nothing.
[20:59] TAMAE
    Let's go.
[21:00] MARUKO
    Yeah.
[21:03] NARRATOR/I
    Here is... what happened last night.
[21:12] TAMAE'S DAD/I
    Good night, Tamae.
[21:14] TAMAE'S DAD/I
    Have a good dream.
[21:22] TAMAE'S DAD/I
    Good, now that I recharged my
    Tamae power, I'll work a bit more!
[21:31] TAMAE'S DAD/I
    Oops! Quietly, so I won't wake her up...
[21:39] NARRATOR/I
    And that night...
[21:42] TAMAE'S DAD
    I'm home.
SIGN    Dad, Thank you for your work
[21:44] TAMAE'S MOM
    Here you go.
[21:47] TAMAE'S DAD
    I-Is this...
[21:52] TAMAE'S DAD
    My hard work was worth it!
[21:56] NARRATOR/I
    Tama-chan's dad is overcome with
    emotion by Tama-chan's message.
[21:59] TAMAE'S DAD
    I'm happy!
[22:00] NARRATOR/I
    His passionate yell confused Tama-chan
    even more than the Ghost Bird.
[22:00] TAMAE'S DAD
    I'm happy!
[22:03] TAMAE'S DAD
    I'm so happy!
[22:06] TAMAE'S DAD
    Man, I'm so happy!
SIGN    Next Time
[22:15] MARUKO
    My gosh, what do I do?!
[22:16] MARUKO
    Mom's new shoes...
[22:19] MARUKO
    Oh, I know. I didn't do this.
[22:21] MARUKO
    That huge mouth chomped
    on them, so they broke.
[22:25] MARUKO
    It was the alligator's fault.
[22:27] MARUKO
    Next time on Chibi Maruko-chan:
SIGN    There's an Alligator in the Tomoe River Mom's High Heels
[22:29] MARUKO
    "There's an Alligator in the Tomoe
    River," and "Mom's High Heels."
[22:33] MARUKO
    Look forward to it!
