-A shot of Ikkoku-kan from outside.  
(The evening is drawing nearer.  It's starts to rain.  A postman stops by to 
deliver mails.)
Akemi:  (off)Where's Yotsuya-san?
Ichinoce:   (off)He isn't back yet.
Akemi:  (off)And the groom(Godai)?
Ichinoce:   (off)There is a celebration party at the day care center.
Akemi : (off)Tomorrow, visiting the relatives
Ichinoce:   (off)And the day before yesterday, a party at the tennis class.
Akemi:  (off)And what if the wedding is cancelled?  I really wanna see  Godai-
kun's expression.
 
-Point-of-view shot from Yotsuya.
(He comes back to Ikkoku-kan, and goes up to room #5.) 
Ichinoce:   (off)Just imagine!  I'm really curious.
Ichinoce&Akemi: hahahahahahahahaha
(Yotsuya enters room #5.  He's carrying three mini-barrel beers.)
Ichinoce:   (notices Yotsuya) Oh
Yotsuya: (looking around) Oh my, oh my.
(A pan shot of room #5.  There's a big banner across the room;  
"CONGRATULATIONS!")
Ichinoce:   Godai-kun should be very happy being celebrated by us day after  
day ... Oh, sure, sure..
(She rips of a paper from the poster on the wall that reads "Godai-kun and 
Kyoko-san's Wedding 2 Days To Go"  Ichinoce ripped off the paper with the 
number"3".)  hahahahahaha
Akemi:  But since the main character (of the party), Godai-kun isn't here,  I 
guess we can't start yet.
Yotsuya: But you have, haven't you, Akemi-san? 
(She has already opened up a can.)
 
-At the front door.
(There's a barking of Souichiro.  Godai comes in.)
Godai:  I'm home
(First, he tries to heads to his room, but he turns around and then heads to 
Kyoko's room.)
Godai:  Kanrinin-san,  Kanri..no..Kyo..Kyoko..I'm sorry I'm  late..  Isn't  she 
in?  I'm coming in..
(He enters the room.  )
Godai:  !!.....
(He sits down in front of Kyoko's bridal kimono)
 
The main title: "Maison Ikkoku - The Final Movie"
 
(Godai starts day dreaming as usual...)
Godai:  So beautiful... I love you Kyoko... Huh?  Kyoko-san, too, about me? 
(starts giggling, then straightens his face)  You look beautiful. Come closer, 
Kyoko
Akemi:  "No, please don't."
Godai:  ?  !!!!!(turns around)
(Ichinoce,Yotsuya, and Akemi are sitting by the staring inside)
Akemi:  Well, that was fun, wasn't it?
Ichinoce: It was really worth while watching.
Yotsuya:  I enjoyed every minute of it.
Godai:  Y, yu, yu, you people!
(He tries to stand up but Ichinoce stops him)
Ichinoce: Don't think you can escape.
Akemi:  (she joins the hold) Come on, let's drink
Godai:  What are you talking about!  I can't tonight!
Yotsuya: ("emerges" behind Godai) Don't say that, please.
Akemi:  You're too sweet, trying to be happy by yourself.
Godai:  The day after tomorrow is the wedding!
Ichinoce: hahahahahaha
Godai:  I have to sort my stuffs out tonight!
Yotsuya: You haven't changed a bit, have you, Godai-kun?
 
-Room #5
Ichinoce: So, Godai-kun, a drink?
Godai:  What about "so"? ( makes a sour face)
Akemi:  Come on, inside, you're happy.  Why don't you look more happy?  (opens 
a beer) there, cheers.
Godai:  I wish I could spend a happy time just with me and kanrinin-san. 
Yotsuya: Speaking of kanrinin-san, she's late.
Ichinoce  When she left in the afternoon, she said that she'll be late,   
without saying where she was going.
Godai:  What was that explanation-like line?
Akemi:  It means she might be with another man.
Yotsuya: Come to think of it, she was dressed up when she left.
Godai:  mhhhhhhhh. I remember ever since I was ronin, I have been teased  by 
you, people, like that all the time.  But this the end of it.  I'm not going to 
be upset by such lies..  The day after tomorrow  is the wedding, anyway.
Ichinoce: That's when you start looking around,  just before the wedding.
Godai:  ?
Akemi:  All men on the street look better than Godai-kun.
Ichinoce: Actually, they are.
Akemi:  Regret that creeps in.
Yotsuya: (crawling on the table) "Oh, I should have cancelled it!"
Godai:  You guys are just saying what you want to say..
Akemi:  huh?  Could it be that you actually have confidence?
Ichinoce: hahahaha, there's no way that he isn't worried.  I mean you don't 
have any good news, right?
Godai:  Come on Ichinoce-san..
Ichinoce: The ring was 35 installment, right?
Yotsuya: Honeymoom is two days in Atami
Akemi:  The only thing you barely managed to buy her was a hair dryer. 
Ichinoce: To support a woman,
Akemi: You're 100 billion years too early.  
(Godai lies down on the floor, trying to ignore their conversation.)
Yotsuya: I wish kanrinin-san would realize the error of choice.
Akemi:  Right, I'd rather run away than to marry a lousy man.
Godai:  (muttering)Who's the lousy man?.. 
Ichinoce: Oh yeah, speaking of running away, hasn't kanrinin-san been   waiting 
for a letter from somebody?
Godai:  A letter?
Akemi:  She asked me, too!  "Was there any mails for me?"  That wasn't the  way 
she normally acts.
Yotsuya: (pouring beer) hmmmm, waiting for a mysterious letter?
Ichinoce: It must be from a man.
Yotsuya: Talking about running away?
Akemi:  I had an intuition like that. I mean, kanrinin-san was saying. (She 
whisper to the other two)
Yotsuya: Oh?
Ichinoce: Then..hmmm she had known him since that long ago?
Godai:  (mutter) So stupid, why should Kyoko-san..
Yotsuya: Then the date for run away is today.
Ichinoce: Positively.
Akemi:  She won't be back tonight, for sure.
Godai:  (mutter) shit..just say what you want.. but still, she's late.
(Yotsuya opens the bag of "dried bread", a type of biscuit)
Yotsuya&Ichinoce:  huuuhhhhh!!??
Yotsuya: You're kidding!
Ichinoce: Really?!
Akemi:  Really!  I wouldn't want to tell Godai-kun.
Ichinoce: I didn't know kanrinin-san would say that kind of thing.
Yotsuya: So, she's thinking of Godai-kun, that way?
Ichinoce: But, she's so cruel, she doesn't have to say that much
Akemi:  She must be comparing Godai-kun to the man of the letter.
(Three silently munch the dried bread.  Godai gets up.)
Ichinoce,Yotsuya & Akemi:  ?
Yotsuya: Oh, no, don't!  You don't have to worry about this, Godai-kun.
Akemi:  Really..I wish you're in your happy dream.
Godai:  ..You!
(The public phone downstairs starts ringing.)
Godai:  !  Kyoko-san!
(He tries to exit the room, but Yotsuya blocks him)
Godai:  ?...What's this all about?
Yotsuya: (turns his head to Godai) bleeahhhh
(Godai takes steps back to run into the blockage.  Ichinoce grabs his leg.)
Ichinoce: Hehehe let's drink, Godai-kun.
(Struggling, Godai manages to walk out of the room, Ichinoce hanging onto his 
legs.  Yotsuya deciding to help Ichinose, grabs the other leg.)
Godai:  Aargghh! Let go of me!  The phone!
Ichinoce: It's just in your ears.
(Akemi is walking in front of Godai.)
Akemi:  A man in love sure has strength.
(Midway down the stairs, the phone stops ringing.)
Godai:    She hung up......
Yotsuya: That's too bad..
Godai:  Kyoko-san....
(He sits down feebly.)
Yotsuya: What are you doing?  Sitting in the middle of the stairs.
Godai:  She hung up! (thanks to you people!)
Yotsuya: You're such a gloomy man,  talking about things that had already   
happened.
(Ichinoce sits beside Godai.)
Ichinoce: Oh, come on. Let's drink and forget about the bad things. (hands a  
beer to Godai)  There.( throws a beer to Akemi.)
Akemi:  Thank you.
Ichinoce: But anyway, Godai-kun is finally getting married.  We've partied  in 
your room, quite a bit, but today might be the last day.
Godai:  And are you  actually intending to stop using the room?
Ichinoce: hahahaha. Of course not.  Just talking about it.
(Souichiro is barking)
Akemi:  huh?
Yagami:  (off) Hi, Souichiro-san.
(Yagami comes inside.)
Yagami:  Good evening.
Yotsuya: ?
Godai:  !!!!(oh no!)
(Ichinoce glances at Godai. )
Yagami:  Godai-sensei!  Oh, Akemi-san, good evening.
Akemi:  Hi!
Godai:  Yagami....
Yagami:  Long time no see, Godai-sensei.
Godai:  Yagami, why are you here?
Yagami:  To celebrate the birthday. Excuse me..(walks by Godai) Here, I  
brought some homemade cakes, as well.
Godai:  You're making a mistake.  My birthday isn't until..
Ichinoce: Nice to see you again, Yagami-san.
Yagami:  Good evening, party-obasan (=middle aged lady).
Yotsuya: hhhmmm. Yagami-san's homemade cake...It's been a while.
Yagami:  I have brought some for Mr. Snake, as well.
(she starts walking upstairs)
Godai:  Wait!  Yagami.  My birthday is..
Yagami:  (cuts him off) Next month, right?
Godai:  Then...whose birthday....is it?
(Yagami points to her own nose. "It's me!")
Yagami:  I, Ibuki Yagami, became 20 years old as of today.(she salute.)   
Godai-sensei, please celebrate with me!(giggles and runs upstairs)
(Note: 20 years old is the age that is socially and legally (partially) 
accepted as being as adult in Japan.  More importantly, at least to tenants of 
Ikkoku-kan, 20 is minimum required age to be allowed to drink)
(The lune squad walk past Godai, to his room.  Godai is pale.)
Akemi:  Looks like she came here without knowing a thing. (about the wedding.)
Yotsuya: I'm looking forward to further developments!
Ichinoce: You'll have to tell her. OK?
Akemi:  (from upstairs) Even if there's bloodshed.
Godai:  (gulp)
 
-Room #5
(Yagami enters, and looks around.)
Yagami:  hummm. You were starting to heat up.... ?  ( sees the banner   
"CONGRATULATIONS!".) For me?.. It can't be.... Godai-sensei!    What were you 
celebrating?  That big banner.
(Yotsuya covers Yagami's eyes, while Akemi is putting down the wedding count 
down poster.)
Ichinoce: Guess who?
Yagami;  Yotsuya-san.
Ichinoce: (to Yotsuya) She knew.
Yotsuya: Yes, she knew..
Godai:  Akemi-san, you don't have to. besides, that poster should   clarify the 
fact.
Akemi:  Why don't you tell her, like a man?
Godai:  Well, I'm intending to do that but.....
Yagami:  Hurry, Godai-sensei!  Ta-dah!
(She opens the box she brought.)
Yotsuya; Wow, strawberry mousse, isn't it?
Yagami:  But, Godai-sensei, what were you really celebrating?
Godai:  Actually, Yagami, about that....
Akemi:  Wait,  Have a drink.
Godai:  Wha(-t  the..)..!
Yagami:  Oh, thank you.
Godai:  Akemi-san!!  You just said..
Akemi:  It's too boring to have the climax so soon. (bleaah!)
Yotsuya: Everybody wants to see your troubled face as long as possible.
Yagami:  What are you talking about?  Something happened?  tell me Godai-  
sensei. 
Godai:  Well..er...
Ichinoce: hehehe,  that's the way.
Yagami:  Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!  ?  Hey!
(Yotsuya is swallowing one entire piece of cake, like a snake swallowing a 
rat.)
Yagami:  You took three pieces!!
Yotsuya: Oh, I wasn't supposed to? (finishes swallowing)
Yagami:  I wanted Godai-sensei to eat, first!!
Yotsuya: Please don't make that kind of scary face.  Anyway, since this is   
Yagami-san's birthday, why not everybody drink a toast?    Everyone, please 
clean up..
(Everybody, but Godai starts to clear a section of the room.)
Godai:  What are you starting to...?
Akemi:  (taking away the table)Come on, stay out of the way.
(Yotsuya sits on the edge of a tatami, and stabs the tatami with a folk.  He 
lifts up the tatami.)
Godai:  Yotsuya-san, What are you..
Yotsuya: It's supposed to be a toast, so I thought I should call Nikaido-kun 
up, as well
(Yotsuya starts pouring beer onto the underlying floor which is also the 
ceiling of room #2.)
Godai:  Hey!  Don't call up that walking insensitive, Yotsuya-san!
(Yotsuya puts back the tatami where it was.  Footsteps come up the stairs.)
Nikaido:  That wasn't nice.  It must've been Yotsuya-san, who would do such  a 
thing, right?  
Ichinoce & Akemi: Calm down.
(After a while)
Yotsuya: Err.  To celebrate the 20th birthday of Yagami-san.
Everybody:  CHEERS!!
Yagami:  Thank you, everybody!
 
-At the front door
(Mr. Chigusa, Kyoko's father, enters Ikkoku-kan.)
Mr.Chigusa: Good evening.... Good evening
 
-Room #5
(Everybody is sitting in a circle, drinking.)
Godai:  (to himself) She's really late..
Nikaido:  Akemi-san, you're 30 this year, right?
(an example of his  insensitivity.)
Akemi:  None of your damn business !
Godai:  Yotsuya-san, about that story..
Yotsuya: huh?
Godai:  I mean, you were talking something kanrinin-san said about me.
Yotsuya: Huh??
Godai:  ......
 
-On the hallway downstairs
(Mr.Chigusa is walking up to Kyoko's room.  He knocks on the door.)
Mr.Chigusa: Kyoko...Aren't you in?
(he enters the room and sees the bridal kimono and starts sobbing.)
Mr.Chigusa: Kyoko!!(sobs)
 
-Room #5
(The party is turning into a talent show.)
Yagami:  First!  Yagami!  I'll do Lum-chan!
Godai:  (still talking to Yotsuya) So, I really don't mean, I particularly   
want to find out or..well
(Yagami jumps to Godai.)
Yagami:  "Darling!  Darling always loves me!"
(Well, in a sense, Yagami and Lum aren't that different.)
Yagami:  ("sticking" to Godai) Come on, Godai-sensei, let's drink.
(Yotsuya sticks out three fingers to Godai.)
Godai:  What do you want?
Yotsuya: Three una-ju. (BBQ  eel on rice, very expensive dish.)
Godai:  Forget it!
Yagami:  Godai-sensei!
(She cuddles closer to Godai.)
Godai:  Yagami cut it out!
Yagami:  Oh, come on. It's my birth day.(giggle) Godai-sensei, I did become  
more mature, didn't I?  My bust did get bigger.  Guess how big?
Godai:  Well,..errr. eight.. 80.. No.  Yagami, I appreciate your devotion, but 
today, I've got something to straighten up.
Yagami:  !!...what?
Godai:  Errrr
Ichinoce: Well, finally the moment.
Akemi:  Can he say it?  Can he?
Ichinoce: No way.  It's too much for his conscience.
Yagami:  What is it, Godai-sensei?  What is it all about?
Ichinoce: Well, to put it short...
Akemi:  Humiliation of a virgin.
Yotsuya: Horrendous betrayal of the devil
Ichinoce: That's what it's all about.
Godai:  Will you people stop putting things that way??!!  All I did was to  be 
a student teacher in Yagami's high school for only two weeks  and nothing with 
Yagami..
Akemi:  Oh I see, it was with Kozue-chan who you went as far as "C",    right? 
( Japanese terminology for someone's sexual relationship   A=kiss, B=necking, 
C=...  )
Godai:  No, I didn't!!
Yagami:  Tell me the whole story, Godai-sensei!  I won't be surprised at   
anything you tell me, so tell me the truth!
(Akemi whispers to Godai)
Akemi:  Painful, isn't it, Godai-kun?  It's better for her to announce the  
death sentence as soon as possible.
Godai:  That's what I have been trying to do!
Yagami:  Where's the widow (Kyoko)!?  This has something to do with her..  
Right?  !! (looks up at the banner) Go..Godai-sensei ..You can't   be...
Nikaido:  Huh? Come to think about it, Yagami-san likes Godai-san, doesn't   
she?
Yagami:  !!??
Nikaido:  Well, then your love isn't returned.  I mean, the day after   
tomorrow, Godai-san is getting married with kanrinin-san.
Godai:  ....(that idiot)
Nikaido:  But, I still don't understand.  I mean, somebody like kanrinin-san  
could've had lot of better men.  If I was born earlier... Oh, I   guess I 
shouldn't say that kind of thing, hahahaha (Yagami is completely shocked.) 
hahaha... ?  Why is it quiet all of a sudden?
Yotsuya: I wish I can dissect your brain once.
Yagami:  No way.. It's a lie, right?
Godai:  ...(can't answer her)
(Yagami picks up a sake bottle.)
Godai:  !!  Yagami!
(Yagami swings the bottle.)
Godai:  !!
 
-Kyoko's room
(Mr.Chigusa is still sitting in front of the bridal kimono.)
Mr.Chigusa: Kyoko!  Be happy!  I won't be able to do anything, anymore.
 
-Room #5
Godai:  ?
(Yotsuya has already retreated to the safety of the crack. After swinging the 
bottle, Yagami sits down, and starts gulping the content. Everybody is staring 
at the way Yagami is drinking. )
Godai:  Yagami!  (She finishes the bottle, gasping.)  Are you all right!?  
Hey!..(Yagami stares at him)  !!!!!!
Yagami:  Godai-sensei, DAAMN YOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The shout echos throughout Ikkoku-kan.)
 
-The front door 
(Master (owner) of Cha-Cha-Maru is standing there with a bouquet of roses. He's 
practicing lines to propose to Akemi.)
Master: 
  I want eat the fried egg you cooked.
  Why not look for a happiness by just two of us?
  Please take my sir name.
  Let's think of our children's names
  Let's put our stamps on the marriage license form.
  Would you like to be permanently hired at Cha-Cha-Maru?
  You're my Moon!  You're my Sun!  Please marry me!
 
 
-Kyoko's room
(Mr.Chigusa is opening up a one-cup-sake, still sitting in front of the bridal 
kimono.)
Mr.Chigusa: Kyoko, why do you get married so many times? Kyoko....
 
-Room #5
Yagami:  Ummuh..(more) SAKE!
(She's already drunk)
Yotsuya: Crawl Crawl Crawl Crawl ..There you go!
Yagami:  Oh, thanks.
Godai:  Yagami, I you drink that much...
Yagami:  What?  You got any complaints?!
Ichinoce: (to Godai)Let her drink
Yotsuya; We'll comfort her.
Akemi:  Really, cheer up Yagami-san.  At least you weren't deflowered yet,   
you didn't suffer that much.
Godai:  Hey! Akemi-san, I never.. Ouch! (a beer can hits Godai which was  
obviously thrown by Yagami.)
Yagami:  Shut up! It's all Godai-sensei's fault, isn't it?  
(She throws two more cans, but this time, Godai manages to duck.  The cans 
score direct hits on Master who just opened the door of Room #5.)
Master: Owwch!! Ow!
(Roses' petals fall.)
Godai:  Master!
Ichinoce: Wow! it's a rare occasion that you actually come to Ikkoku-kan.
Master: Well..Godai-kun, congratulations. Err Akemi-chan.. Will you..   (points 
outside)
 
-On the hallway just outside of room #5
(Master starts practicing the lines again.  Ichinoce and Yotsuya are peeking 
behind the door of #5.  Akemi is waiting in her room.)
Master: Let's give our lives to each other.
  Would you like to have a wedding in a white chapel?
  I can't live without you.
Akemi:  (walking up to him) So, what brings you here?
(Ichinoce and Yotsuya hides)
Master: !!..  It's nothing much, but..
Akemi:  (eyes on the flowers) Aren't you going give those flowers to    Godai-
kun?
Master: Oh, this?  I brought this for you.
(The peepers resume their activity.)
Akemi:  Hmmm. Thank you.
Master: And..er  I want to talk to you.. Would it be alright to go into   your 
room?
 
-Room #5
(Yagami is munching on Pritz, a snack close to pretzel. Nikaido is looking at 
her.)
Nikaido:  What's really so good about Godai-san?  If it's a lady like Yagami-
san, there should be lots of better men around.  If you   don't mind, I'll..
(Yagami takes off her jacket, and throws it on Nikaido's face, and proceeds to 
empty another beer can.  The emptied can rolls towards Godai.)
Godai:  Damn it ... What kind of situation is this?
(He grabs the can and crushes it.)
 
-In the hallway
(Yotsuya is trying to eavesdrop on the conversation in room #6.)
Ichinoce: Well, how is it?
Yotsuya: Hmm unfortunately, both of them are silent.  I can't hear anything.
Ichinoce: Hmm, those two ... Maybe, probably, perhaps..
(The two return to the designated party zone.  Ichinoce sits besides Godai.  
Yotsuya sits in front of Yagami.)
Ichinoce: Godai-kun, you look, so gloomy, you're supposed to be groom in two  
days.
Godai:  Obasan, don't say things that might agitate Yagami.
Ichinoce: Oh, sorry, I didn't notice.
Godai:  Anyway, kanrinin-san is late, isn't she?
Ichinoce: Huh?
Godai:  I'm talking about kanrinin-san.  She's late.
Ichinoce: Huh?  Who is late?
Godai:  KANRININ-SAN!!
Ichinoce: hehehe(grin)
Godai:  !!!!
(He looks at Yagami.  She's shaking her shoulder, as though to restrain her 
anger.)
Godai:  a.. Yagami
(Yagami breaks into laughter.)
Yagami:  Hahahahaha!! Stop it!  hahahaha!!!
Ichinoce & Godai: ?
(These two only can see Yotsuya's back.  Yotsuya is testing his facial 
elasticity.)
 
-Room #6
(Akemi is putting the flowers to a bottle.)
Akemi;  And, what's your story?
Master: Well, er..I thought you might be having a hard time.
Akemi;  Why?
Master: Err, Godai-kun is getting married, so
Akemi:  Why should I have a  hard time because Godai-kun is getting     
married?
Master: errr.
Akemi:  Got any cigarettes?
Master: Sure. There
(He lights Akemi's cigarette.)
 
-Room #5
(Yotsuya is looking around the room.)
Yotsuya: Ichinoce-san,  Come to think about it, we are out of beers
Ichinoce: It's Ok.  I'll bring some more from my fridge
(Out of curiosity, what else does she have in the fridge besides beers?)
(She runs downstairs to room #1.)
 
-At the front door.
(Just as Ichinoce enters her room, Iioka, Godai's former boss in cabaret 
"Bunny" comes in.)
Iioka: 'Evening.  Hey, Godai, I've come to celebrate for ya! (no answer)   huh? 
This is the place, isn't it? Sakamoto drew such a sketchy  map. Hey!
(Mr.Chigusa just came out of Kyoko's room, passing in front of room #1.       
Inside, Ichinoce is talking to her husband.)
Ichinoce: (off)Come on, you're blocking the way, reading the newspaper here.
(Iioka spots Mr.Chigusa.)
Iioka: Hey, mister!  Hey!  Is this Godai's..
(He can't complete the line, because Mr.Chigusa is grabbing his neck.)
Chigusa:  Godai?!?!?!
Iioka: What..what are you doing?!
Chigusa:  Are you one of his gang?!!
Iioka: Let go of me, you drunkard!
Chigusa:  You bastard!!
Iioka: What the??!!
(Two men fight and struggle into room #2.  Ichinoce comes out of #1, with more 
supply of beers.)
Ichinoce: Oh, Nikaido-kun left the door open again.  Such a sloppy guy. 
(She shuts the door, and runs upstairs.)
 
-Room #6
Akemi:  You look like you want to say something...I know!
Master: !
Akemi:  The bar went bankrupt!
Master: Oh,..no..no
Akemi:  Then, what?
Master: Well....
(Souichiro is barking)
Akemi:  !
 
-Room #5
(Ichinoce is doing her usual routines.)
Godai:  ! Kyoko-san!
Yagami:  !  Widow!?
 
-Room #6
Akemi:  Kanrinin-san is back.  Finish this, will you?
(She hands Master the beer she was drinking.)
Master: Err.(sigh) Akemi-chan's lipstick...(slurp)
 
-At the front door
Kyoko:  (off)Stop it!! Souichiro-san!!  Are your clothes all right,
  Ikuko-chan?
Ikuko:  I'm alright
(She opens the door, Kyoko follows her.  Godai walks up to them.)
Ikuko:  (noticing Godai) Oh, Good evening!
(Kyoko turns around to Godai.)
Godai:  Kyoko-san...
Kyoko:  Godai-san..I'm sorry that I'm late.
(While two talk, Ikuko takes off her shoes, and walks up to the shoe box.)
Godai:  Where were..  today..
Kyoko:  I went to Otonashi's house to return Souichiro-san's belongings.  (see 
episode #96)  I wanted to return them by today, so...  I was   invited to 
dinner there, so I was late.
Godai:  Oh, I see.
Kyoko:  I'm sorry.  Weren't you worried?
Godai:  No.... well..a little bit..
(Ikuko is taking out slippers.)
Ikuko:  I phoned around eight, but no one answered.( That earlier phone call) 
Anyway, you, two, are really hot.  Godai-no-onichan haven't   noticed my 
existence, have you?
Godai:  O..Of course I have.  How is the college going, Ikuko-chan? 
Ikuko:  (ignoring him) There you go, Auntie Kyoko.
(She puts slippers in front of Kyoko.)
Kyoko:  Oh, Thank you.
Ikuko:  (turns to Godai) It's too late to make it up.  Auntie, may I have   a 
look at the bridal clothing?
Kyoko:  Sure, it's in my room.
Ikuko:  Then, excuse me..
(She runs to the janitor's room)
Kyoko:  ..I'll go and change my clothes, so..
Godai:  Then, I'll wait in my room..
Kyoko:  Oh, yes..was there any mail for me?
Godai:  !!!! I don't know..There wasn't any when I came back.
Kyoko:  I see
Godai:  Is it an important letter?
Kyoko:  No, if it's here, then it's OK....
Godai:  What kind of letter..
(Kyoko sees Yagami standing on the step well.)
Kyoko:  !!
Yagami:  BLEAAHHH!!!
Kyoko:  Yagami-san!
(Godai finally notices who's standing behind him)
Godai:  !
(The lune squad joins Yagami)
Godai:  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ichinoce,Yotsuya,Akemi&Yagami:  BLEEAAAHHH!!!
Godai:  .......
Yotsuya: (waking up to the two) Oh, please don't worry, Ichinoce-san,    Akemi-
san, and I are doing this just as a joke.
Yagami:  I'm not recognizing it! (the wedding)
Ichinoce: Just calm down, Yagami-san,  come on, let's drink.
Akemi:  Really, let's drink.
Yotsuya: So, kanrinin-san, would you please change quickly and come to room  
#5?  We've been waiting for you..
Yagami:  (from the stairs) Widow! Fight with me!
Ichinoce & Akemi: Alright, alright...Come on..
(They push Yagami upstairs.)
Kyoko:  phew...
Godai:  phew......

-Room #2
(Iioka finally managed to calm down Mr.Chigusa.  Now, he's raiding Nikaido's 
fridge looking for some drink.)
Iioka: Mister I thought I've seen you before. Aren't you Godai's old man?
(See episode #94 for the reason of misunderstanding.)
Chigusa:  What?!  Who's the old man of that bastard.?!
Iioka: I took care of him when Godai was working in my cabaret. (a drop  of 
beer from a ceiling hits the boss.)  Yaw!...? (looks up) the  ceiling is 
leaking..(puts a glass to catch the leak)  Anyway, why   not have a drink?
(He hands another glass to Mr.Chigusa.)
Chigusa:  hm(takes the glass).

-Room #5
(Ikuko has joined the party, but Kyoko hasn't yet.)
Ichinoce: You really are getting pretty, Ikuko-chan.  
Ikuko:  Thank you.
Ichinoce: Kentaro went to his club's training camp.  He's going to bitter   
when he finds out that Ikuko-chan came over.
Ikuko:  That reminds me..I haven't seen Ken-chan for quite a while.
Ichinoce: Did you see the bridal kimono?
Ikuko:  Yes, I envy Auntie Kyoko.  She must look really pretty in that   dress.  
Godai-no-onichan, aren't you happy?
Godai:  ?! (glances at Yagami) su  sure...
Yagami:  Hey .. you... let me tell you something...
(She starts walking up to Ikuko.)
Godai:  Yagami!  Cut it out!  Come over here for a minute.
Yagami:  What?
Godai:  Just come!
(He drags her out of the room.)
Ikuko:  (puzzled) Who's that girl?
Ichinoce: That girl is who's having an affair with Godai-kun.
Ikuko:  Huuhh??!!  You're kidding!!!

-In the hallway.
Godai:  Yagami, it's getting late.  I'll go with you part way,  You better  go 
home.
Yagami:  Oh, please don't worry about that.  I told my parents that I'm  
staying overnight at a friend's place
Godai:  WHAT!!!!????

-Room #6
Master: Akemi-chan, have you ever though about getting married?
Akemi:  Oh, did I ever said that kind of thing?
Master: Errr..no, but..
Akemi:  There aren't that many men who can manage to be my mate.
Master: I see.
Akemi:  Hey, why don't we go to the next room.  Kanrinin-san is back, so..
Master: I'll skip that.

-In the hallway
(Kyoko comes up to the upstairs. She notices Godai and Yagami.)
Kyoko:  Oh?
Yagami:  Aargh! So there you are, widow!
Godai:  Yagami!
(She walks toward Kyoko, into Akemi, who just come out of room #6.)
Yagami:  Ouch ...
Akemi:  Huh?  What are you doing, Yagami-san?  Come on, let's drink.   Oh, 
kanrinin-san, come on, hurry!
Kyoko:  Su..sure.
Akemi:  Come in.. let's go in..
Godai:  phew

-Room #5
(Everybody claps.)
Yotsuya: Now, that both guest of the honor have joined us, we would like to  
start the 9th day of this ten day party-a-thon, for celebrating   the marriage 
between Kyoko Otonashi-san, and Yuhsaku Godai-kun.  We would like to ask Ibuki 
Yagami-san, representing Godai-kun's  former students, to announce a toast.  
Please go ahead.
Yagami:  Ahen, I'm not recognizing Godai-sensei's wedding at all!
(Everybody falls silent.)
Yotsuya: ....Well.. Thank you for such fine words.  Then everybody, Cheers!
Everybody:  CHEERS!!!
(After the toast, everybody starts chatting.  Soon-to-be-weds tries to sneak a 
look at each other, but Yagami cuts in.  Yagami is sitting between Godai and 
Kyoko, drinking heavily. )
Yagami:  Bleeeaahhh!!
Godai:  !...(to himself) Thank god, Kyoko-san is acting normal....Everybody 
just said what they wanted.
(He starts recalling what the others were saying.)
Yotsuya: hmmmm, waiting for a mysterious letter?
Ichinoce: It must be from a man.
Akemi:  That wasn't the way she normally acts.
Yotsuya: Talking about running away?
Akemi:  I had an intuition like that.  
(Akemi is trying to grab a snack from Yotsuya, who wouldn't let her, so she 
slaps his hand.  Sitting next to Yotsuya is Ikuko, who seem to find taste of 
beer a bit distasteful.)
Godai:  (to himself)There's no way that Kyoko-san would do that kind of   
stuff.  Kyoko-san!
Kyoko:  huh?...er.(looks down)
Godai:  .......?
Yagami:  They aren't smooth!(everybody becomes silent.) Those two aren't   
smooth!!  Aren't you two's ties weak, yet?  The faces you just  made weren't 
the faces of those who believe in each other!!!
Godai:  No way!!
Akemi:  Wow, Godai-kun, you got dumped already?
Yotsuya: That's great, kanrinin-san!  You still have time!  the   cancellation 
of the wedding ceremony site.
Ichinoce: In this kind of case, let's cancel!
Godai:  What are you talking about?
Yagami:  Godai-sensei!  It's a joint decision.  Please say good bye to her.
Kyoko:  Yagami-san!  ou're..
Ichinoce: And then, is the main reason, that man of the letter?
Godai:  !
Kyoko:  huh?  That letter is... It's not..
Godai:  Kyoko-san..
(Sakamoto walks in)
Sakamoto: Hi, I came to celebrate for ya.  Godai, hasn't kanrinin-san   changed 
her mind, yet?
Ichinoce: Actually, the cancellation was just confirmed and the party was   
starting to head up.
Sakamoto: Oh great, then I didn't bring this(takes out a liquor) for nothing.
Yotsuya: I'm really happy that kanrinin-san has woken up.
Ichinoce: Talking about the breaking up, a good friend mine..(voice fades   
away)
Godai:  Damn,  I have to talk to Kyoko-san face to face, as soon as   
possible..
Sakamoto: Hey, sempai (Iioka) is  supposed to here.  Have you seen him?
Godai:  The hell am I supposed to know!

-Room #2
Chigusa:  Ha! And that green bastard said he will make my Kyoko happy. Just   
by his mouth, for sure, isn't that right?
Iioka: I know what you mean.  Anyway, have a drink.
(Apparently, he's attempting to drink Mr.Chigusa down.)
Chigusa:  Anyway, it's too absurd,  this wedding!

-Room #5
Yagami:  (taking over Mr.Chigusa's line) Has to be stopped no matter what!!
(She bangs the floor.  One of the paper tapes fall from the ceiling onto  
Godai's head.)
Akemi:  Baad omen..
Godai:  ha!
Mr.Ichinoce:  Excuse me.  kanrinin-san. Could you..?
Kyoko:  Yes?
(She walks out of the room, while Yagami is kicking in mid-air.)
Yagami:  shoo shoo shoo shoo (as if she's chasing a dog away.)
(Godai crawls towards the door to hear the conversation.)
Mr.Ichinoce:  There's a man waiting for you downstairs.  He said he must    see 
kanrinin-san.
Kyoko:  I see.  Thank you. (runs downstairs)
Nikaido:  Who was that man?
Ichinoce: Hahahahaha! Guess who? 
(Is this the way someone should treat her  husband?)
Godai:  A man?!
(Akemi stands beside Godai)
Akemi:  I knew she had another man.
Godai:  No way!  Especially Kyoko-san..
Akemi:  Such a sucker.. If you think you know everything about women, then  
you're completely wrong.  That type of guy is dumped first.   hahahahahaha!
(Godai dashes downstairs  He sees a man in a white suit...with shiny teeth.)
Godai:  huh?
(It's Shun Mitaka.)
Mitaka: Oh, hi.
Godai:  Mi.. Mitaka-san...
Mitaka: So, it's finally the day after tomorrow, right?
Godai:  Yes... err...
Mitaka: I think it's well overdue.  It should've happened earlier.  But in  
your case, I guess time filled in the gap between the two of you..  Really, you 
two look well matched, Otonashi-san.  Congratulations!
Godai:  Mitaka-san, I..
Mitaka: Oh, I didn't come here to say these kind of things. (looks outside) 
Come on. Don't be shy, Asuna.
Kyoko:  Oh, Asuna-san is here, too?
Mitaka: Come on, come in..
(Asuna comes in, carrying puppies in a basket.  McKenroe and Salad, culprit of 
their masters' marriage, come in as well.)
Asuna:  Good evening..
Kyoko:  (looking at the puppies) Oh, they're cute!
Mitaka: Asuna insisted on showing them to Kyoko-san.
Godai:  I see.
Kyoko:  Could these puppies be..
Asuna:  Yes, they are McKenroe and Salad-chan's children.
Mitaka: Sugar, Ginger, Pepper  Good names aren't they? 
(Urusei Yatsura fans, do these names ring a bell to you?)
Kyoko:  Really, they're adorable.. (notices that Asuna is wearing  maternity 
wear.) !  Asuna-san..Are you expecting a happy event?
Asuna:  (blushing) Yes...
Mitaka: Well, I still can't recognize myself as "dad."  In case of Asuna,   she 
looks like a child giving birth to a child, doesn't she?
Godai:  Mitaka-san, you look happy.  
Mitaka: Well, not that much..hahahahaha!
Kyoko:  Why don't you come in?  Upstairs is.. (huge noises and laughters) ... 
like that, but..
Mitaka: No thank you.  We better get going. (to Asuna) Come on let's go.  You 
shouldn't be exposed to cold air
Asuna:  Yes.
Kyoko:  Then, I'll walk you to your car.
Asuna:  Oh, thank you.
(Kyoko and Asuna leave.  )
Godai:  Mitaka-san, could it be that the letter is..
Mitaka: letter?
Godai:  No, it's OK.  I hope you well.
Mitaka: You, too ( smiles, and his teeth sparkle, as always.)
(Mitaka leaves,  A car's engine starts, and moves away.)
Godai:  (to himself)It's a chance to ask her about the letter.
(Ikuko is sneaking up on Godai, checks if he noticed her, or not, then... )
Ikuko:  BOOO!!
Godai:  !!!!!!!!!
Ikuko:  (giggle) Surprised?
(Could it be that her "hobby" is surprising people?....)
Godai:  (gasping) I sure was..
(Kyoko steps back into inside.)
Kyoko:  Oh, Ikuko-chan?  
Ikuko:  Auntie, I'm going now. It's about time for the last train, so...
Kyoko:  That's true, I'll go with you to the station.
Ikuko:  Come on, I'm a college student already, not a kid.  Then, Godai-no-
onichan, I wish you well.  
Godai:  Sure....
Ikuko:  Good bye! (runs outside)  Wow!  It stopped raining!
(Ikuko-chan, didn't you forget your amburella?..)
Kyoko:  Be careful!!
Ikuko:  Yes!!  (Her voice fade away.)
Kyoko:  (turning to Godai) Let's go back ( to the party zone)
Godai:  Kyoko-san, I've got something to ask you..
Kyoko:  ?
(There's a voice from behind.)
Kuroki: Good evening.
Godai:  ? (turns around) Oh!  Kuroki-san!
Kuroki: I thought you'd be in the middle of the party, so we decided to   come 
here.
Saotome:  Hehehehe. Hello!  hehehehe
(Originally, Godai reluctantly joined their club, because of Saotome's 
apparently threatening face.)
Godai:  .. Hello...hahahaha

-Room #5
(Kuroki and Saotome have finished setting up the stage of a play.)
Kuroki: I, Sayoko Kuroki and my husband, will perform a puppet play to  
commemorate Godai-kun's marriage.
Saotome:  Thank you hehehehe..
Ichinoce: Alright! Numero Uno!!
(Kuroki pushes the play button of the tape recorder.  BGM starts.)
Nikaido:  Who are they?
Akemi:  Puppeteers.
Kyoko:  Godai-san was in puppet play club when he was in college.
Yagami:  Ha! 
(She doesn't like the fact that the widow knows more about Godai-sensei than 
she does.)
Kuroki: (narration) Once upon a time, there was a poor youth. (a Godai puppet 
pops out to "the stage")  One day, disregarding his social   status, he fell in 
love with the princess who is the janitor of   the apartment.  (Hearts fly 
around.)
Godai:  Hey!!
Ichinoce: (stops Godai) Looks interesting, though.
p.Godai:  Oh, princess, oh, princess!
p.Kyoko:  Yeess?
p.Godai:  Oh, princess, I love you. Please marry me.
p.Kyoko:  No, I can't.  I've been proposed by the tennis coach as well.
p.Godai:  Oh?! You mean that rich guy with the shiny teeth?  (a tennis ball  
hits  his head) Ouch!
p.Mitaka: (looks like a gill man, with a teeth problem)  Oh, Princess, I  have 
a wealth, I have lots of love, as well.  Please marry me.
p.Kyoko:  Oh, What should I do?
p.Godai:  (sigh) I don't have a job.  I'm unreliable and sloppy.  What shall  I 
do?
(p.Mitaka 's teeth shine.)
Yotsuya: hmmmmmm, it has terrifying realism
(Don't ask what's realistic.. What do you expect from Yotsuya?..)

-Room #2
(the drips from the ceiling is still falling on the glass.)
Chigusa:  She was so cute when she was little.  Neighbors always said she   
looks exactly like me.  (contradictory statement.)
Iioka: ? sure, she must've been really cute.
Chigusa:  Yes,  that was when Kyoko was 5.  No, it was after a week of absence 
because of the mumps, so she was 6.... No, 10 days  absence.. because of the 
mumps.
Iioka: The school?..no,err kindergarten?
Chigusa:  No, the company.
Iioka: ???!!! Oh, you... mumps, huh?
Chigusa:  It was the autumn of 6.

-Room #5
(back to the play)
p.Kyoko:  Oh, you indecisive minded!!  I hate you!!
p.Godai:  But, princess! I just..
p.Kyoko Make up your mind!(slap!)
p.Godai:  Ouch
Everyone: Alright! (cheers)
(Kyoko and Godai cuddle closer as they recall the days  when their relation was 
complicated by Mitaka, Kozue, Yagami and others. Seeing this, Yagami makes a 
harsh expression for a moment, then makes a lonesome face.  She realized that 
there's no way that she can cut in between the two.)
p.Godai:  Father, the tennis coach, with shinny teeth, got married by omiai,  
and I finally got a job.  Please let me marry the princess.
(p.Mr.Chigusa looks like a pirate-turned-businessman.)

-Room #2
Chigusa:  (overlapping the play's line) No!  I'm not letting you marry my   
daughter!

-Room #5
p.Kyoko:  That's too much, father!  This youth is weak willed, unreliable,  he 
failed college entrance exam once, and he was even unemployed  one, but... he 
is now working in a day care and he's loved by the   children

-Room #2
Iioka: When he was in charge of the baby sitting in my cabaret, he was   pretty 
popular with the children.I guess he does have some potential, don't you think?

-Room #5
p.Chigusa:Alright!  If you say so, I'll let you marry my daughter.
p.Godai:  Oh, Really?!
p.Kyoko:  Father!!
p.Chigusa:But..

-Room #2
Chigusa:  If things don't work out, if there're some hardships, or if you   get 
tired of him, you can always come home.  Kyokooooooo!!!!!
Iioka: I understand what you mean..

-Room #5
Kuroki: (narration) So, after overcoming numerous hardships, the youth has  
finally got married with the princess.
p.Godai:  Oh, princess!
p.Kyoko:  Oh, youth!
(The puppets hug each other.  The background drops, revealing a poster
 "Happy Ending Congratulation." )
Ichinoce: Oh, that was such a fine story.
Godai:  Don't be moved by such things!
(The party goes on.  Kuroki and Saotome starts drinking as well.)
Sakamoto: Godai, you are so lucky ....with kanrinin-san.  Have a drink.
Godai:  er..sure..
Sakamoto: You, you lucky guy...BE PUNISHED !!!!!!!!
Akemi:  Oh, I left Master in my room.
(She leaves the room)
Ichinoce: Come in Kuroki-san, have a drink.
Kuroki: Oh, thank you..
(Sakamoto is crying.)
Godai:  What's wrong, Sakamoto?  You got jilted again?
Sakamoto: I HATE HAPPINESS!!
Godai:  Hey !!
Sakamoto: Godai, let's drink all night, alright? Alright?
Godai:  Will you...
Sakamoto: Don't leave me behind, and be happy by yourself!
(Meanwhile, Yagami walks up to Kyoko, then leaves the room.  Kyoko follows.)
Kyoko:  Yes?
Yagami:  I'd like to talk to you face to face, alone.  Please come this  way.

-Room #6
(Master is asleep.  Akemi wakes him up.)
Akemi:  Master!  Master!
Master: Oh, shoot, I fell asleep.
Akemi:  There you go a drink to wake you up.
(She hands him a beer, then she starts clipping her toe nails.)
Akemi:  You know, you're strange man.
Master: Huh?
Akemi:  I mean, you haven't fired a lazy waitress like me and you treat me  
well.  You sure are weird.
Master: Well...that's because Akemi-chan..
(He starts laughing to hide his embarrassment, but it ties in, in a wrong way 
to the next line.)
Akemi:  Ouch!  Cut the nail too deep!  ? (She sees Master laughing)   hahahaha
Master: Did you understand what I meant?
Akemi:  About what?

-The attic
(Kyoko and Yagami are coming into the attic.)
Yagami:  Please come this way.
Kyoko:  How did you know about the attic?
Yagami:  When I stayed here before, I did a bit of exploration, so..
(Two women enter the attic.  They face each other.)
Yagami:  Please.
(Kyoko sits down, then so does Yagami.  There's long silence.)
Yagami:  I have to go to washroom! Drank too much beer!
(She runs down the stairs.)

-Room #5
(Sakamoto is crying.)
Godai:  Will you... I have to talk to Kyoko-san  and other sort of staffs.
(Yagami runs behind Godai's back.)
Sakamoto: Come on, let's drink all night.  OK?
Godai:  Argh!  I can't do that, tonight!
(Godai tries to crawl away from Sakamoto, but the drunkard drags him back.)
Sakamoto: You bastard!  If you're happy by yourself, you don't care about  your 
best buddy?
Godai:  No thanks!!
Sakamoto: Give me some of that happiness!!
Nikaido:  Really, you monopolized everybody.  At least, if you could give me  
Yagami-san.
(Running back, Yagami hears her name mentioned, so she takes a peek into the 
room #5, and leaves.)
Godai:  You guys are drunk, aren't you!?
(So, he finally notices.)

-On the hallway, in front of the room #4
(Yagami is running back to the attic.  Yotsuya is standing in front of his 
room's door.)
Yotsuya: Daimazine!
(Yotsuya's pretending to be a monster of Godzilla movie.  He is trying make 
Yagami laugh, but she ignores him, running past him.)
Yotsuya: I feel lonely...

-The Attic
(Yagami comes back to the attic.  She jumps from one side of the stairs to 
Kyoko's side.  She lands and loses balance.)
Kyoko:  !!  Watch out!!
(Yagami regains balance and settles down. She sits down, and opens a beer.)
Yagami:  Sorry for causing so much trouble.
Kyoko:  Not at all.
Yagami:  Well, there's no tea, but... please have a drink.  
(She hands over the beer to Kyoko.) 
Yagami:  I'd like to ask you one question.  The princess (of the puppet play) 
was supposed to have a deceased husband.  Right now, which  of the two, her 
late husband, or the youth, does the princess love  more?
Kyoko:  !.....
(She's startled by the question. Yagami snatches the beer from Kyoko.)
Yagami:  Can't you answer?  I think the princess is cheating if she can't  
answer.
Kyoko:  I never thought of comparing Godai-san with my late husband. 
  (She walks over to edge of stair case and sits down.) I just love   Godai-
san.. Someday, if you find somebody other than Godai-san to   love and get 
married with, you might understand my feelings.    Yagami-san, I...
Yagami:  RATS!
Kyoko:  ?
Yagami:  If you answered ambiguously, I was seriously thinking of running  away 
with Godai-sensei.  (sigh)  I guess I will have to give up on  running away, 
but my next goal will be an affair!  (with Godai- sensei.  She never quits, 
does she?)
Kyoko:  Then I'll watch out for that...
(She jumps off and starts walking down the stairs.)
Yagami:  Wait!  Since when did you like Godai-sensei?
Kyoko:  ?
Yagami:  Oh, forget the question.  It'll just make me madder.  Besides, I  did 
the indirect kiss with Godai-sensei.
(It's either she drank a beer which Godai was drinking, or the other way 
around.)
(After Kyoko leaves, Yagami is really depressed.  She flicks the beer can off 
the stairs.)

-Room #2
Chigusa:  (half asleep) And she said "daddy I love you", pinching my cheek.
Iioka: (Almost asleep) I understand what you mean....
(It seems his plan to drink Mr.Chigusa down is backfiring on him.)

-Room #6
Master: Hmmmm. I didn't know you could make good coffee.
Akemi:  What are you talking about?  I'm a waitress, remember?
Master: Oh, sure that's true.  I wish I could drink this kind of coffee   
everyday.
Akemi:  Wow!  If the circomstance is right, that sounds like a proposal.
Master: .Well then.. I better go.
Akemi:  Why don't you stay over ?
Master: No, I still have to open the bar today.
(Yes, it's already past midnight.)
Akemi:  That's true.
Master: Akemi-chan, don't skip work. (at Cha-Cha-Maru.)
Akemi:  Alright.
(The two walk down stairs.  Yagami is standing in midway, depressed. Akemi 
glances at her.)
Akemi:  If you wanna cry you can use my bed.
(Yagami knocks her head. "Better pull myself together.")

-At the front door
Master: Don't catch cold.
Akemi:  Ciao.
(Master leaves.  Akemi stretches out, and yawns.)

-Room #6
(Yagami pulls off her socks, and throws them away.  Then, she lies down on the 
bed.)

-At the front door
Kyoko:  You really should stay over..
Saotome:  Huh..er... We have to go to work, so..
Kuroki: If we get going now, the first train should be starting.
(Akemi comes out of the washroom and spots Kyoko.)
Akemi:  ?
(Kuroki and Saotome leaves.)
Kyoko:  Good night. (looks over to Akemi) ?... What happened?  You look  real 
happy...
Akemi:  I was thinking it's not that bad idea to get married...
(In other words, she was getting all the hints that Master was desparately 
sending.)
Kyoko:  Oh?
Akemi:  But, looks like kanrinin-san got something to worry about..
Kyoko:  No.....
Akemi:  I can sense it even if you try to hide it.
(Two women walk up the stairs.)
Kyoko:  Akemi-san, have you ever had something you couldn't tell anybody  else?
Akemi:  Lots of times.  I always have something risky.  Well, in my case  it's 
mostly this.(points to her own body) But in your case, it's  waiting for a 
letter from somebody, isn't it?
Kyoko:  No... It's not like that.....
(They walk past room #6 where Yagami is comfortably asleep, and go into room 
#5.)

-Room #6
(As camera pans Yagami's sleeping posture, the survivors of the party-a-thon 
chats in room #5.)
Ichinoce: Oh, the guest of honor is back.
Yotsuya: Alright, let's re-drink.
Kyoko:  I've had enough alcohol..
Godai:  Really, you're right.  Let's call it a night..
Ichinoce: What are you talking about.  In this kind of happy occasion?
Akemi:  Really Kyoko-san, come on now. Godai-kun and kanrinin-san, don't  make 
such a dumpy face.

-Room#5
(First, camera peeks from Yotsuya's crack.  Sakamoto is KOed already.)  
Ichinoce: There, empty it, empty it....
(Camera switches to normal shots.  Ichinoce is pouring sake into Godai's 
glass.)
Ichinoce: Kanrinin-san, are you drinking?
Kyoko:  ..Yes
Godai:  (to himself) I wonder what's wrong with Kyoko-san..
Ichinoce: Oh yeah.  Kanrinin-san, this's for you.(gives Kyoko a package)  It's 
a gift from me.
Kyoko:  What is it?
Ichinoce: Why don't you open it?
Kyoko:  Oh...
(She takes out an apron with a pictures of hes on it. The design sort of 
symbolizes Kyoko's maturation from a girl to a woman, since up till that point 
she was using an apron with pictures of chicks.)
Akemi:  It's hand sewed isn't it?
Ichinoce: Yeah, I sewed the first apron I've sewed after I got married out   of 
memory.
Kyoko:  Oh,  thank you...
Yotsuya: Will you be making meals for me with that apron?
Akemi:  You can get free meals again, huh, Yotsuya-san?
(Until now, Yotsuya always got free meals out of Godai, by blackmailing him.  
Nikaido is flipping through his magazine and envelope falls out.)
Nikaido:  Huh?.... Oh, Kanrinin-san, I kept forgetting that there was a   
letter for you this evening.  hahahahahahahahahahahaha..  ?   What's wrong 
everybody?  You look all scary.  
Godai:  Kyoko-san..
(Kyoko walks over to him.  She gets the letter and check the sender.)
Kyoko:  Thank you....
Nikaido:  ?
(Kyoko leaves the room.  Godai tries to run after Kyoko.)
Godai:  Kyoko-san!  !(trips on a can.) Kyoko-san!!
(He leaves the room, as well.)

-Through the hallway
(The camera pans along the hallway from room #5 to janitor's room as the 
tenants talk off screen.)
Nikaido:  (off) What's wrong with those two?
Yotsuya: (off) If they break up, it would be Nikaido-kun's fault.
Nikaido:  (off) Huh? Why?  Why is it my fault?
Ichinoce: (off) Don't worry about it.  Let's have a drink.  It's nobody's   
fault.
Akemi:  (off) Really, so Nikaido-kun, you don't have to blame yourself.
Nikaido:  (off) What is it?  It's starting to bug me.  Tell me.
Yotsuya: (off) Oh wait, wait.  Just have a drink and forget your deed.
Nikaido:  (off) But, did I do something wrong?  Come on, tell me.
Akemi:  (off) It was unavoidable.  It was those two's fate.
Nikaido:  (off) Akemi-san, what was that letter all about?  I can't     
understand you, if you don't tell me...

-The janitor's room
(It's already early morning.  Kyoko is reading the letter.  Godai is standing 
in front of the door.)
Godai:  I don't care what kind of secret that Kyoko-san has..because    I..I've 
been ...for this long..over almost six years.. even when  we quarreled, run 
away made her mad..  being ignored,  can't even hold her hand... I always... 
since we've met for the first time..... Kyoko-san, I've always thought  only 
about you.
(He knocks the door.)
Kyoko:  !.... Yes?
Godai:  (entering the room) Kyoko-san....

-Room #5
(Yotsuya throws a what seems to be a leftover snack to Souichiro, then cracks 
his neck.)
Souichiro:  Bow!  Woooo. Bow!  Bow!  Bow!  

-Kyoko's room
Kyoko:  I wrote an apology letter to your grandmother, and I was waiting  for 
the reply.
Godai:  Then, that's a letter from grandma?

-Room #5
(Ichinoce is KOed and using Godai's sitting mat as a pillow.  Nikaido still 
wants to know what he did wrong.)
Nikaido:  Please tell me, quietly.
Ichinoce: Be quiet!
(She rolls over and resumes her sleep.)

-Kyoko's room
(As Godai and Kyoko talk, camera shows the other rooms.)
Kyoko:  I've been meaning to tell Godai-san as well as grandmother, but I   
couldn't.... Was it four years ago?.. It was when your grandmother  visited 
here in summer. That day, while Godai-san and     grandmother were out, it 
started to rain.  I remembered that you  were drying futon, (pan of room #2. 
Both men in there are asleep.)  so I went into your room and took it inside.  
our grandmother's   kinchaku (purse+bag) was on the desk.  It was handmade with 
beads,  and I wanted to see how the seam was done inside.. so,
(shot of room #6.  Yagami is still sleeping)
Godai:  So?
(Akemi is throwing darts to the poster.)
Kyoko:  So, I knew I mustn't buy.... I opened it.....
Godai:  Huh?
Kyoko:  There was a photo inside... It was a photo of you in your     
childhood..(pan across the disaster zone, room #5.  Nikaido is  playing a 
majong computer game, by himself.) I just fixed my eyes   on it, because it was 
so adorable.  Just then, Ichinoce-san peeked   into the room and...
Ichinoce: (revives and notices Nikaido) Oh, What are you doing?
(A shot of the attic.)
Kyoko:  I was so surprised so, I tried to hide the photo and I tore it...
(Back to Kyoko's room.)
Godai:  Oh....
(Kyoko walks over to a drawer, takes out the picture from a drawer, and hands 
it to Godai.)
Kyoko:  This is the picture.
Godai:  Oh, this photo?  But I can hardly see any damage..
Kyoko:  Few days ago, I went to a photo studio and had it restored.  I  felt I 
had to return it before the wedding.  I kept telling myself  I have to clean it 
and return it, but...
Godai:  You kept it till now?
Kyoko:  Yes, I really felt sorry for your grandmother.  I had chances to   
return it if I really wanted to, but..I just couldn't part with   it.  I wanted 
it to be near me.  Probably because it was so   adorable.. No...... it's not 
only that...
Godai:  ?
Kyoko:  Because it was Godai-san's photo...
Godai:  Kyoko-san.......
Kyoko:  I often gazed at that photo.  I really like this picture.  Since  when 
I started to...... about Godai-san... but every time I see   that picture... 
always...
(She starts to sob.)
Godai:  Kyoko-san, what did grandma's letter say?
(Kyoko hands him the letter.)
Kyoko:  Please go ahead and read it.
(Godai starts reading it.)
Godai:  Dear Kyoko-san.  Thank you for your courteous letter.  I    understand 
your reasons.  I am flattered that you kept a picture  of that good-for-
nothing..... (He tries to restrain his annoyance,  but still some uneasiness in 
his voice.)... for this long.  
(Grandma's voice takes over.  As she reads the letter, camera shows unomachi, 
Godai's hometown and grandma.)
Grandma:  That photo was taken, when Yuhsaku couldn't go to kindergarten   
because of cold.  He was whimpering, so I dressed him up in   festival costume, 
though it was in the middle of the winter.    I gave him candy.  When he 
finally smiled, I took the photo.    Yuhsaku was always followed by bad lucks.  
At the times when   there's field trip, or sports meetings, he was sick one way 
or  another.  He was born under the star of bad luck.  I thought I  would have 
to stand by him until I die.  But lady like Kyoko-san  chose Yuhsaku and said 
that she would look after him.  Kyoko-san,  it is now your turn.  Kyoko-san, 
please stand by Yuhsaku.  I don't   have anything that I can give you, so I'll 
give you the picture   that you kept so preciously.  Please receive Yuhsaku 
that I have   raised.  
(Grandma turns to camera and smiles.  Her teeth are sparkly as ever.)
(Back in Kyoko's room, Godai is stunned by the letter.  Kyoko takes off the 
ribbon from her hair.)
Kyoko:  Godai-san....I'll be Kyoko Chigusa just for today, and tomorrow,  I'll.
(They hold each others' hand.)
Godai:  Kyoko-san...
(They get closer to kiss, but the door suddenly opens behind them.  Ichinoce, 
Yotsuya, Akemi, Sakamoto, and Yagami are there, grinning... )
Ichinoce&Yotsuya:  Good!
Yagami:  Morning!!
Godai&Kyoko:  !!
Godai:  !!!!!(oh no)

-Aerial shot of Ikkoku-kan
(Camera zooms away.  Pigeons leave their nests and start flying around.)
Ichinoce: Well, it's morning!!
Yotsuya: A perfect day for partying!
Godai:  What are you talking about?!!
Yagami:  Cheater!!  Alone by yourselves!!
Akemi:  We're reaching the critical point! (of the party.)
Kyoko:  You don't necessarily reach the critical point..
Sakamoto: Godai, let's drink all night again.
Godai:  Come on!!  Tomorrow is the wedding!
Ichinoce: Alright!!  10 day party-a-thon, for celebrating the wedding.  10th  
day, LET'S START!!!!!!

-Ending Song "Kiss of Glass"
music:  Takashi Matsumoto
lyric:  Tsunehiro Izumi
arrange:  Mitsuo Hagita
song: Rika Himenoki

It's like a kiss across glass.(*)
We're this close but this far away.
It's like a kiss across glass.
I love you so badly.
(*)
Sitting on a chair of a cafe, drinking a warm milk
You, with embarrassed face, are looking out at a quiet town(*)
If I can have little more courage, I will hold your gentle hand
We're living,(*) unable to cross the invisible line of friendship

If I say "I love you"
Then, the wall of glass will shatter
Both of us know it, but every time our eyes meet
We break our gaze(*)

When we separate, you're waving hand,(*) as the train's door close
My tearful face is a double image on the window(*)
How many seasons passed us by, being unable to say the word "love"?
We want to reach out and hold hands, but something is holding us back(*)

Time passes away as we stand back to back

It's like a kiss across glass(*)
We're this close but this far away
It's like a kiss across glass(*)
I love you so badly
