[00:12] Karin
    Morning.
[00:13] Karin
    You're always here so early.
[00:16] Kukuru
    I worked overtime, and I'm still not done.
SIGN    New Area Project
[00:21] Kukuru
    The species list isn't set yet.
[00:23] Kukuru
    And I haven't finished
    the schedule chart, either.
[00:26] Kukuru
    I have to write a compensation report, too.
[00:28] Karin
    Jeez.
[00:30] Karin
    That new area project has you swamped.
[00:35] Kukuru
    Why me?
[00:36] Kukuru
    It would have gone more smoothly
    if he'd picked someone more capable, like you!
[00:41] Karin
    It's an opportunity.
[00:43] Karin
    Try to learn from it.
[00:45] Kukuru
    No, I just know the assistant
    director is messing with me.
[00:49] Kukuru
    He's having fun working
    a newbie to the bone.
[00:54] Boss
    Plankton.
[00:54] Kukuru
    Here he comes.
[00:59] Boss
    The supply list?
[01:01] Kukuru
    I'm making it now.
[01:03] Boss
    The suppliers want it immediately.
[01:05] Boss
    Finish it now.
[01:06] Kukuru
    I need more time.
[01:08] Boss
    I asked you three days ago.
[01:11] Kukuru
    I have my hands full already.
[01:13] Boss
    Time's ticking by
    while you're making excuses.
[01:16] Kukuru
    Fine, fine, I'll do it!
[01:18] Kukuru
    That's all you want, right?
[01:20] Boss
    Plankton.
[01:21] Kukuru
    What?
[01:22] Boss
    Just say, "Yes, sir."
[01:26] Kukuru
    Yes, sir!
[03:06] Kukuru
    Lucky.
[03:08] Kukuru
    I wish I were a fish.
[03:19] Kai
    What are you up to, Kukuru?
[03:24] Kukuru
    Assimilating life force.
[03:27] Kai
    What?
[03:27] Kukuru
    I've been too busy lately
    to hang out with the animals.
[03:34] Kukuru
    You attendants are so lucky.
[03:36] Kukuru
    You always get to be with the animals.
[03:39] Kai
    That's true.
[03:44] Kukuru
    And you take it for granted, don't you?
[03:48] Kukuru
    You won't realize how important they are
    to you until they're gone!
[03:53] Kai
    Sure, sure.
[03:54] Boss
    Just say, "Yes, sir."
[03:56] Kai
    Huh?
[03:57] Kuuya
    Are you done over there?
[03:58] Kai
    Eh?
[03:59] Kai
    Oh, yeah.
[04:02] Kuuya
    There's a wild dolphin that's gotten lost
    around here, apparently.
[04:06] Kuuya
    Umi-yan's going to go check it out.
    Take his spot for me.
[04:09] Kukuru
    I want to go, too!
[04:11] Kuuya
    No way. No way.
[04:15] Kai
    Kuuya-san, you knew this was going
    to happen, didn't you?
[04:20] Kuuya
    She never grows.
[04:26] Umi
    Are you sure you should be here?
[04:28] Kukuru
    This is a big deal.
    I can't just sit around.
[04:32] Kukuru
    I'll take a quick look
    and then go back.
[04:35] Umi
    All right.
[04:42] Kukuru
    Gramps.
[04:45] Gramps
    Hey.
[04:45] Gramps
    Hard at work, huh?
[04:47] Kukuru
    Why are you here?
[04:49] Gramps
    My pupil from way back
    works for the city.
[04:51] Gramps
    He wanted me to come take a look.
[04:55] Umi
    We were asked to come, too.
[04:57] Umi
    It's encouraging to have you here.
[05:02] Umi
    Is it here?
[05:04] Gramps
    Yeah.
[05:05] Gramps
    Over there.
[05:07] Gramps
    Looks like it's just a calf.
[05:09] Gramps
    Must have gotten separated
    from its pod.
[05:13] Umi
    Oh, dear.
[05:14] Umi
    It should be with its mother
    at that age.
[05:17] Gramps
    The mother may have died.
[05:21] Umi
    It looks like it's injured.
[05:33] Gramps
    It seems to be in good shape.
[05:35] Umi
    Hopefully, it finds its way back
    to open waters.
[05:43] Gramps
    How about we keep an eye on it
    for a while and try not to disturb it?
[05:48] Umi
    All right.
[05:49] Umi
    We'll get our staff to come
    check on it every now and then.
[05:53] Gramps
    Okay, thanks.
[06:01] Gramps
    Well, Kukuru, you should come
    see Gama Gama when you have some time.
[06:08] Kukuru
    Why?
[06:09] Gramps
    It's going to be demolished soon.
[06:12] Gramps
    You should get a look
    before it's all gone.
[06:15] Umi
    It's finally happening, huh?
[06:17] Gramps
    Yeah.
[06:25] Gramps
    Just as life returns to the sea,
    we have to see Gama Gama back into the earth.
[06:43] Kukuru
    It's just a kid still.
[06:45] Fuuka
    Yeah.
[06:46] Fuuka
    They're going to keep
    an eye on it for a while, right?
[06:49] Kukuru
    I'm going to make time
    to see it every day.
[06:52] Fuuka
    Are you sure?
[06:54] Kukuru
    Why not?
[06:55] Fuuka
    I thought you were busy.
[06:57] Fuuka
    You were at work early this morning, too.
[07:01] Kukuru
    I'm not used to writing up documents.
[07:03] Kukuru
    It takes me so much time.
[07:06] Fuuka
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[07:09] Kukuru
    I'm going to go take a look
    before work tomorrow.
[07:12] Kukuru
    Want to come along?
[07:13] Fuuka
    I do!
[07:27] Kukuru
    There!
[07:32] Kukuru
    Did you see that?
[07:33] Kukuru
    It just jumped!
[07:40] Kukuru
    It's so cute.
[07:42] Fuuka
    This is so healing.
[07:44] Kukuru
    Ban-chan.
[07:45] ---
    "Ban"?
[07:46] Kukuru
    Ban-chan, because it's a bottlenose dolphin.
[07:50] Kukuru
    It must be lonely, suddenly being left
    on its own, even though it's so small.
[07:55] Kukuru
    I was the same way, so I get it.
[07:58] Fuuka
    It's all right, Ban-chan.
[08:00] Fuuka
    We're with you.
[08:03] Fuuka
    I hope you get back to your buddies soon.
[08:11] Kukuru
    I'll be back, Ban-chan.
[08:29] Kukuru
    Akari-chan, I'm going to go eat outside
    and stop by our business partner.
[08:33] Akari
    Huh?
[08:34] Akari
    Our business partner?
[08:36] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[08:37] Kukuru
    Y'know.
[08:38] Akari
    Okay, got it.
[08:47] A
    Look, it's a dolphin!
[08:48] B
    Oh, wow!
[08:51] Kukuru
    That dolphin's just a child.
[08:53] Kukuru
    You might scare it if you make a fuss.
[08:55] Kukuru
    Try to watch quietly from a distance.
[09:00] A
    Okay, got it.
[09:15] Garandu
    Misakino-kun!
[09:16] Garandu
    I heard you went to check
    on the dolphin for us.
[09:19] Garandu
    The attendants were supposed to go,
    but we just couldn't find the time.
[09:23] Garandu
    Thanks a lot.
[09:25] Boss
    Plankton.
[09:26] Kukuru
    Yes, sir!
[09:27] Boss
    What is this about?
[09:28] Kukuru
    No, um...
[09:30] Garandu
    Did you not tell the assistant director?
[09:34] Garandu
    Oh, man, that's not good.
[09:37] Kukuru
    I just went to check on it
    while I was out.
[09:41] Boss
    Is that your job?
[09:44] Kukuru
    No.
[09:44] Boss
    You aren't even up to snuff
    on your own work yet.
[09:47] Boss
    Don't go meddling in other people's business.
[09:49] Garandu
    Come on.
[09:51] Garandu
    She simply did the right thing
    as a member of the aquarium staff.
[09:56] Garandu
    Right?
[09:57] Boss
    It's always the people who can't
    do their work that go on about lofty ideals.
[10:02] Garandu
    What's that? Are you talking about me?
[10:04] Boss
    I'm just talking in general.
[10:06] Garandu
    That was kinda nasty.
[10:09] Kukuru
    I apologize.
[10:11] Kukuru
    I'll leave the dolphin
    to the attendants going forward.
[10:15] Boss
    I just want to see results.
[10:22] Akari
    The assistant director and the chief?
[10:24] Akari
    They really don't seem to like each other!
[10:27] Karin
    They have different ideas
    about how work should be.
[10:30] Akari
    It's so fun watching them.
[10:32] Akari
    Isn't it fun when there's friction at work?
[10:35] Udon
    You're surprisingly evil, Akari-chan.
[10:38] Akari
    Am I busted?
[10:40] Udon
    We might be comrades.
[10:43] Kukuru
    Watching Ban-chan helped me de-stress.
[10:47] Fuuka
    The attendants are going to take turns
    keeping an eye on it.
[10:50] Fuuka
    Don't worry.
[10:52] Karin
    Why don't you try focusing
    on your work for once, Kukuru?
[10:56] Karin
    You won't learn to enjoy work
    if you never take it seriously.
[11:09] Fuuka
    Oh, yeah... I heard from Umi-yan
    that Airi-chan's coming to Tingarla next Friday.
[11:16] Kukuru
    Really?
[11:18] Fuuka
    She's still in physical therapy,
    but she's doing well.
[11:22] Fuuka
    She said she misses us.
[11:23] Fuuka
    She's looking forward to seeing us again.
[11:26] Kukuru
    Yeah?
[11:28] Fuuka
    I can't wait to see her.
[11:34] Kukuru
    I have to show her
    that I'm doing better at work.
SIGN    Lost Plankton
[12:03] Boss
    Plankton.
[12:04] Kukuru
    Yes, sir?
[12:06] Boss
    We're thinking of making the new area available
    as a wedding venue when it opens.
[12:12] Kukuru
    Weddings at an aquarium?
[12:15] Boss
    It's to create buzz for our new opening.
[12:16] Boss
    It'll improve our image.
[12:19] Boss
    Prepare a plan on your end.
[12:22] Kukuru
    Yes, sir.
[12:24] Kukuru
    What will I need for it?
[12:29] Boss
    Put together a sample plan based
    on what other aquariums have done.
[12:34] Boss
    We'll present it to a wedding
    planning company next week.
[12:37] Kukuru
    A presentation?
[12:39] Boss
    If it works out,
[12:41] ---
    the new area will receive attention
    and increase customer growth dramatically.
[12:45] Boss
    This is your chance to show off your skills
    as a project planner.
[12:48] Kukuru
    Understood.

    Overtime again?
[13:27] Kukuru
    You can head home first, Fuuka.
[13:29] Fuuka
    It must be rough,
    being at work late every day.
[13:32] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[13:32] Kukuru
    I guess.
[13:34] Kukuru
    But there's no one else to do it.
[13:36] Kukuru
    So I have to.
[13:38] Garandu
    There you are!
[13:39] Garandu
    Misakino-kun.
[13:41] Kukuru
    Chief Garandou.
[13:43] Garandu
    So about that lost dolphin...
[13:47] Garandu
    It doesn't look as though
    it's leaving any time soon,
[13:49] ---
    so I figure we should swim nearby
    and check on its health.
[13:55] Kukuru
    Uh-huh.
[13:57] Garandu
    Wanna do it?
[13:59] Garandu
    You've been a great help
    to the attendants.
[14:03] Garandu
    The assistant director won't have anything to say
[14:05] ---
    if you do it on your own time
    outside work, right?
[14:10] Garandu
    What's wrong?
[14:11] Kukuru
    No, I...
[14:13] Garandu
    What? You won't do it?
[14:16] Kukuru
    I have an important presentation to do.
[14:18] Garandu
    Aw, man.
[14:19] Garandu
    That's too bad.
[14:21] Garandu
    I'll ask someone else.
[14:22] Garandu
    Don't worry about it.
[14:25] Fuuka
    I'm sure your presentation
    will turn out well.
[14:28] Fuuka
    You've worked so hard on it.
[14:31] Kukuru
    I'm going to go finish the proposal.
[14:38] Gramps
    It's been a while.
[14:40] Gramps
    How's Tingarla going?
[14:43] Director
    It's been doing well.
[14:45] Director
    Thank you for all your advice.
[14:49] Director
    How have you been?
[14:51] Gramps
    I miss the animals.
[14:55] Gramps
    The dolphin?
[14:56] Director
    It's still there.
[14:58] Director
    It seems to have plenty to eat, so we're trying
    not to interfere with it too much.
[15:02] Gramps
    That's for the best.
[15:04] Mom
    There you are.
[15:06] Gramps
    You aren't drunk yet, huh?
[15:09] Mom
    Tsukimi's not here, so I have to work.
[15:13] Mom
    It's so exhausting!
[15:15] Gramps
    How is everyone from Gama Gama doing?
[15:18] Director
    They're all very adaptable.
[15:19] Director
    I feel safe with them.
[15:22] Director
    Kukuru-san's working as hard
    as she can for us in marketing, too.
[15:27] Gramps
    That girl's practically been swimming
    in a tank her whole life.
[15:32] Gramps
    It'll be a good experience for her
    to see what's outside.
[15:37] Director
    I hope she'll become a great aquarist
    just like you someday.
[15:42] Director
    Even if she's barely able
    to float right now.
[15:56] Boss
    Are you all right?
[15:58] Kukuru
    Yes.
[15:59] Kukuru
    I put up with a lot for this day.
[16:09] Miura
    Nice to meet you.
[16:11] Miura
    I'm Miura, a wedding planner.
[16:14] Boss
    Thank you for your time today.
[16:17] Miura
    Not at all.
[16:18] Miura
    This would be a good opportunity
    for us as well.
[16:21] Miura
    We produce bespoke weddings here.
[16:28] Miura
    We have some couples who are interested
    in aquarium weddings.
[16:34] Miura
    So we're very keen on this.
[16:38] Boss
    We look forward to working with you.
[16:40] Kukuru
    This is our proposal for Tingarla Weddings.
SIGN    Tingarla Weddings
SIGN    Proposal
[16:44] Miura
    Thank you.
[16:52] Miura
    I see.
[16:53] Kukuru
    Our plan is to make the new area available
    for weddings, when it opens in the spring.
[16:58] Kukuru
    We'll also be able to hold
    mini-receptions at the restaurant,
[17:00] ---
    as part of the special opening event.
[17:03] Miura
    May I ask a few questions?
[17:07] Kukuru
    Yes.
[17:08] Miura
    "No photography or additional lighting
    in front of tanks."
[17:11] Miura
    Does that include during the ceremony?
[17:13] Kukuru
    Yes.
[17:14] Kukuru
    For the welfare of the fish.
[17:16] Kukuru
    Strong flashes will surprise the fish
    that aren't accustomed to them.
[17:21] Miura
    What about wedding photos?
[17:23] Miura
    Would you be preparing a separate location?
[17:28] Kukuru
    We'll make some considerations.
[17:31] Miura
    "Minimal decorations"?
[17:33] Kukuru
    Yes.
[17:34] Kukuru
    It can be fatal for fish
    if they mistake decorations for food.
[17:39] Miura
    So then, with adequate management,
    we can have decorations, correct?
[17:45] Kukuru
    Um...
[17:46] Kukuru
    I'll get back to you on that.
[17:49] Miura
    "We'll serve delicious fish
    at the mini-reception"?
[17:52] Kukuru
    Yes.
[17:53] Kukuru
    We think it'll be a good opportunity
    to have people talk about fish.
[17:57] Miura
    Do you have a specific kind
    of fish in mind?
[18:00] Miura
    Japanese style? Western style?
[18:02] Miura
    Are there special menus for the receptions?
[18:05] Kukuru
    Menus...
[18:08] Kukuru
    We haven't considered that yet.
[18:12] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.
[18:16] Miura
    I understand that Tingarla
    takes good care of its fish.
[18:21] Miura
    But I don't think we'll find many customers
    who will want this program.
[18:27] Miura
    A wedding is one of the biggest
    moments of someone's life.
[18:31] Miura
    The fish have to take more
    of a backseat role.
[18:35] Kukuru
    Backseat role...
[18:37] Miura
    Could we at least relax
    some of the conditions?
[18:41] Miura
    The aquariums in the mainland
    allow for more extravagant performances.
[18:45] Kukuru
    But if you're holding a wedding at Tingarla,
    the fish have to be the most...
[18:51] Miura
    I'm sure a fish getting married
    at Tingarla would find real happiness.
[18:59] Boss
    Misakino, enough.
[19:02] Boss
    Thank you for your valuable feedback.
[19:05] Boss
    We'll revise the proposal
    and get back to you when we're ready.
[19:12] Boss
    I was expecting that reaction.
[19:15] Boss
    Now that we know what they value,
    we know what we have to do.
[19:20] Boss
    Redo the plan.
[19:23] Kukuru
    Yes, sir.
[19:26] Boss
    Her opinion is as to be expected
    of a wedding planner.

    Rethink it from the ground up.
