**[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.

**[13:26] Fuuka**
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.
**[19:30] Boss**
Rethink it from the ground up.

And she asked me to say "hi" to you.

I feel bad.
**[20:18] Karin**
It's not your fault.
