[00:39] atsu     So, what were you saying     about Mr. Tawarayama? [00:43] yu     That alien... What was it again? [00:45] ryu     Wom-san's weird friend... [00:48] naru     The mulberry-colored naked     mole rat-looking thing? [00:50] yu     Yeah, that naked mall rat thing... [00:53] naru     Naked mole rat. [00:54] yu     Moley-san, for short! [00:56] yu     Moley-san said he brought two "lives" with him,      and brought him back to life with that... [01:01] atsu     Yeah, he just sprang back     to life, just like that.

[01:17] naru     G-Good point... [01:19] atsu     I n-never thought of that... [01:20] yu     What are you saying? Mr. Tawarayama     is Mr. Tawarayama!

[04:08] yu     Yet people still go at night, and they sit on     the ground outside and have picnics and stuff. [04:12] yu     Pretty rigorous stuff, don't you think? [04:14] atsu     That's true. [04:16] atsu     I bet the salarymen catch colds when they     get drunk and strip down and stuff... [04:20] yu     Also, aren't cherry blossoms iconic     of the first day of school?

[04:32] atsu     Global warming, I guess... [04:34] yu     By early April, all the trees     might even be blossom-free. [04:37] atsu     They do fall awfully quickly. [04:40] yu     You think cherry blossoms might stop     being a first-day-of-school icon [04:43] yu     and become a graduation day icon instead? [04:45] atsu     That sounds pretty nice.

[05:25] yu     What's he worried about? [05:27] ari     The text of it.     He can't figure out what to say. [05:30] yu     Why not just string a bunch     of platitudes together? [05:33] ari     When Kinshiro tries to think some up,     it ends after three lines. [05:37] kusa     I struggle with poetic turns of phrase. [05:39] atsu     You shouldn't pressure yourself so much.
