[01:50] Kagura
    I can't sleep.
[01:52] Kagura
    I can't sleep at all.
[01:54] Kagura
    Can't sleep a wink.
[01:57] Kagura
    The harder I try to fall asleep,
[01:59] Kagura
    the more awake I feel.
[02:02] Kagura
    I don't feel like sleeping at all.
SIGN    ["Sleep Helps a Child Grow"]
[02:23] Gintoki
    What?
[02:24] Kagura
    I can't sleep.
[02:27] Gintoki
    Oh, really...
[02:29] Gintoki
    Don't stay up too late.
[02:32] Gintoki
    We have work tomorrow.
[02:37] Gintoki
    What is it?
[02:40] Kagura
    I can't sleep.
[02:41] Gintoki
    You already said that.
[02:43] Gintoki
    If you can't fall asleep,
    stay up until you're sleepy.
[02:46] Gintoki
    You're so annoying.
[02:48] Gintoki
    Let me sleep, okay?
[02:50] Gintoki
    I said we have work...
[02:52] Kagura
    I can't sleep.
[02:52] Gintoki
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[02:54] Kagura
    I can't sleep a wink at all.
[02:57] Gintoki
    Like I care!
[02:58] Gintoki
    Stop bugging me!
[02:59] Kagura
    I can't sleep...
[03:04] Kagura
    Put me to sleep.
[03:08] Kagura
    Use everything in your
    power to put me to sleep.
[03:12] Gintoki
    Just go to sleep by yourself!
[03:13] Gintoki
    Is that how you ask
    somebody for a favor?!
[03:16] Gintoki
    Man...
[03:16] Gintoki
    I can't put up with this.
[03:21] Kagura
    That futon looks more
    comfortable to sleep on.
[03:24] Kagura
    Switch with me.
[03:25] Kagura
    I'm gonna sleep there.
[03:27] Kagura
    You sleep in the closet.
[03:29] Gintoki
    Don't be so picky.
[03:30] Gintoki
    All futons are the same!
[03:32] Gintoki
    How am I supposed to sleep
    in that small space?!
[03:35] Kagura
    Just move outta the way.
[03:41] Kagura
    Ah, I think I can fall asleep like this.
[03:44] Kagura
    This futon might put me to sleep.
[03:46] Gintoki
    Never wake up again, stupid brat.
[03:49] Gintoki
    Man...
[03:50] Gintoki
    What is this...
[03:51] Gintoki
    I'd managed to fall asleep.
[03:53] Gintoki
    I don't wanna sleep on a cold futon.
[03:59] Kagura
    I can't sleep.
[04:00] Gintoki
    So nothing changed?!
[04:02] Kagura
    This is no use.
[04:04] Kagura
    I don't feel sleepy at all.
[04:07] Kagura
    I can't fall asleep 'cause the
    pillow smells like an old man.
[04:11] Gintoki
    You're the one who told
    me to switch with you!
[04:13] Kagura
    That futon looks more
    comfortable to sleep on.
[04:15] Kagura
    Switch with me.
[04:16] Gintoki
    This will never end!
[04:18] Kagura
    I can't fall asleep
[04:20] Kagura
    so I've been thinking
    of ways to fall asleep.
[04:24] Kagura
    And now, I'm no longer sure
    how I used to fall asleep.
[04:29] Kagura
    I've forgotten how to fall asleep.
[04:31] Kagura
    How do I fall asleep?
[04:33] Kagura
    How do I make my way into slumberland?
[04:37] Gintoki
    Start by shutting up!
[04:38] Gintoki
    Then close your eyes and stay still!
[04:40] Gintoki
    You'll eventually fall asleep.
[04:42] Kagura
    But Gin-chan, when you
    stop and think about it,
[04:45] Kagura
    what is sleep?
[04:47] Kagura
    When we close our eyes, we're
    just shutting our eyelids.
[04:51] Kagura
    Our eyeballs are still darting around.
[04:54] Kagura
    It's completely dark, but that's because
[04:56] ---
    we're looking at the inside of our eyelids.
[04:58] Kagura
    It doesn't mean we're asleep.
[05:00] Kagura
    To prove it, if you close your eyes
    during the day, it's completely red.
[05:04] Kagura
    What do I do with my eyeballs
    if I want to fall asleep?
[05:07] Kagura
    Should I just stare at
    the inside of my eyelids?
[05:10] Kagura
    Or should I look up?
[05:13] Kagura
    What do I do to-
[05:14] Gintoki
    Cut it out!
[05:16] Gintoki
    Now I can't fall asleep!
[05:19] Gintoki
    What are you going to do about this?!
[05:20] Gintoki
    Now that you got me thinking about
    it, I can't fall asleep either!
[05:23] Gintoki
    Did I look up? Did I look down?
[05:26] Gintoki
    I don't know what to
    do with my eyeballs!
[05:28] Kagura
    And do we breathe with
    our mouths when we sleep?
[05:31] Kagura
    Or with our noses?
[05:32] Kagura
    Or do we breathe in through our
    mouths and out through our noses?
[05:35] Kagura
    Or do we breathe in through our
    noses and out through our mouths?
[05:37] Gintoki
    Cut it out!
[05:38] Kagura
    Should I cross my arms?
[05:40] Kagura
    Should I leave them at my sides?
[05:41] Kagura
    Outside the covers?
[05:43] Kagura
    Inside the covers?
[05:44] Kagura
    How should the pillow be placed?
[05:46] Kagura
    Face-up? Face-down?
[05:47] Gintoki
    Cut it out!
[05:48] Kagura
    Where do we come from?
    Where are we going?
[05:52] Kagura
    What's beyond the edge of the universe?
[05:55] Kagura
    Why doesn't anime make lots of money?
[05:57] Gintoki
    Cut it out!
[05:59] Gintoki
    I can't sleep!
[06:00] Gintoki
    I don't feel like sleeping at all!
[06:02] Gintoki
    Was it this hard to fall asleep?!
[06:05] Gintoki
    Did we go through such
    an ordeal every night?!
[06:09] Kagura
    What is sleep again?
[06:10] Gintoki
    Shut up!
[06:12] Gintoki
    You'll never fall asleep if you
    make everything so complicated!
[06:14] Gintoki
    How much of a failure are you?!
[06:16] Gintoki
    Even Ken Takakura could do a better job!
[06:19] Kagura
    I feel more and more awake.
[06:21] Kagura
    What do I do?
[06:22] Kagura
    At this rate, I'll never fall
    asleep for rest of my life.
[06:25] Gintoki
    Give me a break.
[06:27] Gintoki
    Didn't I tell you that
    we have work tomorrow?
[06:29] Gintoki
    It's 2:30 in the morning.
[06:32] Gintoki
    We have to wake up at 7:00 tomorrow.
[06:34] Gintoki
    We only have four and
    a half hours to sleep.
[06:37] Gintoki
    That'd even make Napoleon
    bitch when he woke up.
[06:39] Gintoki
    "My dictionary says I only sleep for
    three hours but read between the lines!"
[06:44] Kagura
    What should I do?
[06:46] Kagura
    Don't fall asleep before me, Gin-chan.
[06:48] Gintoki
    For now, stop thinking about that stuff.
[06:51] Gintoki
    Don't use your head.
[06:54] Gintoki
    Okay?
[06:55] Gintoki
    Sleep isn't supposed to be something
    you can consciously force.
[07:03] Gintoki
    Humans who live regular lives will
    naturally fall asleep at night.
[07:08] Gintoki
    If you work your sweaty
    ass off for a whole day,
[07:11] Gintoki
    you'll be so tired you can
    comfortably fall asleep.
[07:13] Gintoki
    That's how sleep is supposed to work.
[07:17] Kagura
    I see...
[07:19] Kagura
    I can't fall asleep because I
    was lying around the whole day.
[07:24] Gintoki
    Right?
[07:25] Gintoki
    The problem is with your lifestyle,
    not with your sleeping style.
SIGN    ["Don't just lay there! Help me clean up the house!"]
[07:29] Kagura
    You're one to talk.
[07:32] Gintoki
    If you understand, go
    run a lap around town.
[07:35] Gintoki
    What you lack is fatigue.
[07:38] Kagura
    I got it.
[07:39] Kagura
    I'm going off for a run.
[07:41] Kagura
    Gin-chan, you can't
    fall asleep before me.
[07:44] Kagura
    You'd better stay up.
[07:51] Kagura
    Gin-chan...
[07:54] Kagura
    Hey, Gin-chan...
[07:58] Kagura
    I can't fall asleep.
[08:01] Kagura
    I did the running...
[08:03] Kagura
    But now...
[08:05] Kagura
    I'm so hot...
[08:07] Kagura
    I can't fall asleep.
[08:10] Gintoki
    Who told you to run as hard as you can?!
[08:13] Gintoki
    Of course you can't fall asleep
    when you're all sweaty like that!
[08:16] Kagura
    I figured I'd fall asleep
    faster if I was more tired,
[08:20] Kagura
    so I ran fifty laps around town.
[08:22] Kagura
    Sleep is out of the question now.
[08:24] Kagura
    It feels like all my
    cells have activated.
[08:27] Gintoki
    Feels like it?
[08:28] Gintoki
    Your brain cells are dying!
[08:31] Gintoki
    You can't fall asleep right
    after exercising so hard!
[08:34] Gintoki
    Go take a bath and cool yourself off!
[08:37] Gintoki
    You've gotten my futon all sweaty now!
[08:40] Kagura
    No.
[08:41] Kagura
    I don't have time for that.
[08:43] Kagura
    I have to fall asleep
    as soon as possible.
[08:50] Gintoki
    You're a busy person, huh?
[08:53] Gintoki
    First you want to sleep.
[08:54] Gintoki
    Now you're hungry.
[08:55] Gintoki
    I envy you!
[08:56] Gintoki
    It must be fun to have
    so many things to do!
[08:59] Kagura
    That isn't my stomach. I'm farting.
[09:01] Gintoki
    I don't care what it
    is! Can you be quiet?!
[09:04] Gintoki
    How long is that going to continue?!
[09:07] Gintoki
    It's so noisy I can't fall asleep.
[09:11] Gintoki
    Fine.
[09:12] Gintoki
    I'll go make you something to eat.
[09:14] Gintoki
    You go take a bath during that time.
[09:16] Kagura
    Food?!
[09:17] Gintoki
    Everybody feels like sleeping
    after a meal, right?
[09:20] Gintoki
    It's not very healthy, but that's
    a sacrifice you'll have to make.
[09:23] Gintoki
    At this rate, I won't be
    getting any sleep either.
[09:27] Kagura
    Gin-chan!
[09:28] Gintoki
    Man, you stink!
[09:29] Gintoki
    Stay away! Go take a bath!
[09:30] Kagura
    Thanks, Gin-chan!
[09:37] Kagura
    Gin-chan...
[09:40] Kagura
    Hey, Gin-chan...
[09:47] Gintoki
    What are you doing?
[09:49] Kagura
    I don't feel like sleeping at all.
[09:52] Kagura
    I took a bath,
[09:55] Kagura
    but I'm having trouble breathing
    so I can't fall asleep!
[09:58] Gintoki
    Who told you to eat so much that you'd
    start breathing with your diaphragm?!
[10:01] Gintoki
    Of course you can't fall asleep
    when your stomach's that full!
[10:03] Kagura
    But...
[10:04] Kagura
    You made all that food...
[10:08] Gintoki
    The rest of that was for breakfast!
[10:10] Gintoki
    Why did you eat my share, stupid brat?!
[10:12] Kagura
    It's no use...
[10:14] Kagura
    I'm in so much pain I
    can't even turn over...
[10:16] Kagura
    I'll go run myself into shape...
[10:19] Kagura
    By taking a run.
[10:20] Gintoki
    Who told you to be witty?!
[10:22] Gintoki
    Cut it out!
[10:23] Gintoki
    That'll just put us
    back where we started!
[10:26] Gintoki
    Ah...
[10:27] Gintoki
    Fine.
[10:28] Gintoki
    You don't have to work tomorrow.
[10:30] Gintoki
    Shinpachi and I can handle it.
[10:32] Gintoki
    So don't force yourself to sleep.
[10:34] Gintoki
    Just let me sleep, okay?
[10:36] Kagura
    No!
[10:37] Kagura
    Staying up late is bad for my skin!
[10:39] Gintoki
    Someone whose stomach
    is sticking all the
[10:41] ---
    way out shouldn't be talking about skin care!
[10:43] Gintoki
    Come on.
[10:44] Gintoki
    It's already 4:00.
[10:45] Gintoki
    I have to wake up at 7:00 tomorrow.
[10:46] Gintoki
    That's in three hours.
[10:48] Gintoki
    That'd even make Napoleon bitch
    at his mom in the morning!
[10:51] Gintoki
    He'd probably whine about the
    quality of the miso soup!
[10:53] Gintoki
    "The word eggplant is
    not in my dictionary."
[10:59] Kagura
    Fine.
[11:01] Kagura
    I'll stop making a fuss.
[11:02] Kagura
    I won't bother you anymore.
[11:05] Kagura
    You already fed me.
[11:10] Kagura
    But if it's too quiet, I
    start thinking about stuff.
[11:14] Kagura
    Can I turn on the radio?
[11:17] Gintoki
    If you keep the volume down.
[11:23] DJ
    Young Night Train!
[11:25] DJ
    So let's get started!
[11:28] DJ
    This is DJ Junnijiro, who just
    had a kidney stone removed,
[11:32] DJ
    with stories that make you
    cry within three minutes!
[11:40] DJ
    Young Night Train!
[11:45] DJ
    So let's get started!
[11:47] DJ
    This is DJ Junnijiro with stories that
    make you cry within three minutes!
[11:51] DJ
    Allow me to introduce the first letter.
[11:53] DJ
    This letter is from Radio Name Tom.
[11:57] DJ
    "Sorry, Jerry."
[12:02] N
    I will never forget about
    the first friend I ever had.
[12:06] N
    It happened during summer ten years ago.
[12:11] N
    I was a shy and quiet child
    who always played by myself.
[12:17] N
    So my father brought me a friend.
[12:20] N
    That was Jerry.
[12:27] N
    Jerry and I were always together.
[12:30] N
    We went everywhere together.
[12:32] N
    We did everything together.
[12:35] N
    Just like real friends.
[12:40] N
    I taught him many tricks.
[12:43] Tom
    Wait!
[12:48] N
    Jerry's best trick was to wait.
[12:50] N
    He would wait as long as I told him,
[12:52] N
    even when a feast was placed before him.
[12:58] N
    I didn't need any friends besides Jerry.
[13:01] N
    That's how I felt at the time.
[13:05] N
    But on the other hand,
[13:07] N
    an increasing number
    of children showed up
[13:09] ---
    who were interested in Jerry.
[13:13] N
    The next thing I knew, I'd made
    lots of friends besides Jerry.
[13:18] Tom
    Wait.
[13:24] N
    It didn't take very long
    for my interest to shift
[13:27] ---
    from Jerry to other things.
[13:30] N
    Jerry longed to play with
    me the way we used to.
[13:35] N
    Jerry would bark at me.
[13:37] N
    That was when his best
    trick would come in handy.
[13:41] N
    I would say one word to Jerry.
[13:43] N
    "Wait."
[13:44] N
    Jerry would always wait
    there for my return.
[13:49] N
    Without moving an inch.
[13:50] N
    He just waited for me to return.
[13:56] N
    By chance, my father's
    store went out of business,
[13:59] N
    and my affluent family fell to ruin.
[14:02] N
    Chased by debtors,
[14:05] N
    we were forced to escape with
    only the clothes on our backs.
[14:09] N
    Though I was only a child,
[14:12] N
    I was still able to understand what
    must be abandoned in that situation.
[14:19] N
    Perhaps he realized his own fate.
[14:22] N
    Jerry chased after me without pause.
[14:35] Tom
    Wait!
[14:37] N
    I delivered the usual
    word in a cold voice.
[14:45] N
    Wait.
[14:48] N
    I left Jerry behind without
    ever looking back.
[14:57] N
    A few months later, I
    returned to that spot.
[15:03] N
    I had already moved to a faraway city,
[15:06] N
    but I couldn't stop
    thinking about Jerry.
[15:10] N
    Jerry had to be fine.
[15:12] N
    Somebody must have taken him in.
[15:15] N
    In retrospect, I probably
    wanted peace of mind.
[15:20] N
    I wanted to see Jerry
    alive as soon as I could,
[15:25] N
    so I wouldn't have to feel guilty.
[15:32] N
    Jerry hadn't become someone
    else's pet or a rotting corpse.
[15:37] N
    Jerry was waiting as always.
[15:41] N
    Without moving a step.
[15:42] N
    Waiting for my return.
[15:47] Old man
    Sad, isn't it?
[15:49] Old man
    He was abandoned there a while back.
[15:53] Old man
    Kind people would try
    to take him with them,
[15:56] Old man
    or feed him or the like.
[15:59] Old man
    But this boy refused to budge at all.
[16:05] Old man
    In time, people stopped
    paying attention to him.
[16:11] Old man
    He couldn't have expected
    his owner to return.
[16:16] Old man
    Either way, it's a sad story.
[16:23] N
    I reached out to softly pat his head,
[16:26] N
    and his eyelids slowly
    parted to look up at me.
[16:31] N
    Jerry's tail wagged ever so slightly.
[16:36] N
    And then, he never moved again.
[16:42] Old man
    Little lady...
[16:44] Old man
    I see, you were his owner.
[16:49] Tom
    Jerry was waiting for me to come back!
[16:53] Tom
    Waiting the whole time...
[16:55] Tom
    The whole time...
[16:59] Tom
    Jerry!
[17:01] Tom
    How can I apologize to you?!
[17:04] Tom
    How many times do I need
    to apologize to you?!
[17:06] Tom
    You gave me so much!
[17:09] Tom
    You taught me how to shed my
    loneliness when I was all alone!
[17:13] Tom
    You opened up the world to me!
[17:16] Tom
    You were my first friend!
[17:19] Tom
    And yet...
[17:20] Tom
    I...
[17:21] Tom
    I did...
[17:24] Tom
    I did such a terrible thing
    to my precious friend!
[17:29] Old man
    There's no need to apologize.
[17:31] Old man
    He was always waiting for you.
[17:34] Old man
    And you came.
[17:36] Old man
    What else did he need?
[17:39] Old man
    He must have been happy to
    meet his owner in the end.
[17:44] Tom
    That's not true! He must hate me!
[17:46] Tom
    Because I was the one who
    caused Jerry's death!
[17:50] Old man
    Jerry isn't dead.
[17:52] Old man
    He's still alive.
[17:54] Tom
    Where?!
[17:55] Tom
    Where is he?!
[17:57] Old man
    Of course...
[18:01] Old man
    Right behind you!
[18:11] Gintoki
    What is this?
[18:13] Gintoki
    What kind of story is this?
[18:15] Gintoki
    Why did a touching story turn
    into a scary story at the end?!
[18:17] Gintoki
    How would this make people cry?!
[18:19] Gintoki
    More like cry out in terror!
[18:22] Gintoki
    I can't sleep after hearing
    such a crazy story!
[18:26] Gintoki
    The station must be getting
    barraged by complaints right now!
[18:28] Gintoki
    That really caught me off guard.
[18:30] Gintoki
    Not that I was scared or anything.
[18:33] Gintoki
    Hey, Kagura!
[18:34] Gintoki
    No more radio!
[18:35] Gintoki
    I can't listen to this...
[18:40] Gintoki
    H-Huh? She fell asleep.
[18:46] Gintoki
    R-Really...
[18:47] Gintoki
    She finally fell asleep?
[18:49] Gintoki
    Way to cause so much trouble.
[18:52] Gintoki
    That's a relief...
[18:54] Gintoki
    Now I can sleep in peace.
[18:57] Gintoki
    Then I'll go to sleep, too.
[19:14] Old man
    Right behind you!
[19:21] Gintoki
    Y-Yeah, right...
[19:24] Gintoki
    Y'know...
[19:26] Gintoki
    That crazy story isn't
    enough to scare me.
[19:29] Gintoki
    Though it surprised me a bit.
[19:31] Gintoki
    That was just a comedy.
[19:32] Gintoki
    There isn't much of a difference
    between horror and comedy.
[19:35] Gintoki
    This was totally...
[19:36] Old man
    Right behind you!
[19:40] Gintoki
    C-Crap...
[19:42] Gintoki
    I'm starting to hear things 'cause
    I didn't get enough sleep.
[19:45] Gintoki
    Hey, now I can't fall asleep...?
[20:01] Gintoki
    Ah. Sorry if I woke you up, Kagura.
[20:03] Gintoki
    Looks like I'm sick.
[20:07] Gintoki
    K-Kagura-chan. You're
    actually awake, right?
[20:10] Gintoki
    You were wide awake just a second ago.
[20:12] Gintoki
    This isn't funny, seriously.
[20:21] Gintoki
    Kagura-chan?
[20:22] Gintoki
    Hey, are you listening?
[20:23] Gintoki
    You're awake, right?
[20:25] Gintoki
    Awake, right?
[20:31] Gintoki
    Wake up!
[20:32] Gintoki
    Don't mess with me!
[20:33] Gintoki
    How much effort do you think
    I spent to put you to sleep?!
[20:37] Gintoki
    You just abandon me the
    second you're done?!
[20:39] Gintoki
    You could at least talk with me a bit!
[20:42] Gintoki
    You could at least come with
    me when I go to take a piss!
[20:44] Gintoki
    Are you going to keep
    pretending to sleep?
[20:47] Gintoki
    I'll beat you awake...
[20:52] Gintoki
    Okay, that's good.
[20:53] Gintoki
    Bring it on!
[20:54] Gintoki
    Like you're ready to die!
[20:56] Gintoki
    If you're gonna hit me, you
    had better knock me out!
[20:58] Gintoki
    No, really...
[20:59] Gintoki
    Please knock me out!
[21:01] Gintoki
    Somebody put me to sleep!
[22:37] ---
    Okay, gather round.
[22:39] ---
    Since the movie has been
    delayed until summer,
[22:41] ---
    we need to brainstorm and
    figure out what to do
[22:44] ---
    after the TV series ends in
    March until the movie comes out.
[22:47] ---
    Okay!
[22:47] ---
    Wait! The TV series ends this spring?!
[22:50] ---
    Nobody told me that!
[22:51] ---
    Too late now.
[22:52] ---
    The plan was to have the movie come
    out right after the TV series ended.
[22:56] ---
    And hell...
[22:58] ---
    Before the gorilla author
    produced this finished script,
[23:01] ---
    he had to go through all
    the rewrites over here.
[23:04] ---
    Why is there so much paper?
[23:05] ---
    Was the gorilla trying
    to make a Ben Hur?
[23:08] ---
    Uh, kids these days
    won't recognize Ben Hur.
[23:10] ---
    So how do we buy time?
[23:12] ---
    Eh...
[23:13] ---
    We could run another special that
    covers one of the longer arcs.
[23:17] ---
    Any suggestions?
[23:18] ---
    Ooh! I think that
[23:20] ---
    "Sleep Helps a Child Grow
    Arc the New Translation"
[23:23] ---
    is best!
[23:23] ---
    Hey! Today's episode wasn't a long arc!
[23:26] ---
    And what is there to add?
[23:29] ---
    Okay, we'll go with that.
[23:30] ---
    Uh, that's not gonna happen!
