Boy:
Over here! Hurry!
Girl:
Wait up!
Akemi:
I knew it was you, Mitaka-san!
Mitaka:
W..Well...
Akemi:
Now this is strange. By yourself?
No way, eh? What's wrong? You look pale.
Mitaka:
W..Well...
Hunter:
You demon!
Mitaka:
Thank you. I feel much better now. Well then...
Akemi:
Just a sec. Mitaka-san...
Could it be that you're...?

Maison Ikkoku Episode 49
Mitaka's Training! No Love is Achieved if I'm Scared of Dogs
Godai:
It's okay! I've got him secured!
Kyoko:
Sorry about this! Geez!
I can't believe Souichiro-san tucked away so many things.
A pass case? I wonder where he found this?
Yotsuya:
May I have a look?
Ichinose:
Any beer coupons?
Yotsuya:
No good. Nothing interesting at all.
Godai:
W..Wait.
Godai:
What are you going to do with that?
Yotsuya:
Return it to the owner, of course.
Godai:
If that's the case, fine.
Akemi:
Morning, everybody. See you later!
Kyoko:
What happened to Akemi-san?
Godai:
Beats me.
Announcer:
Shibuya station. Shibuya station.
Akemi:
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Mitaka:
Hi. W..Wait.
Are you really going to help me out?
With the dogs.
Akemi:
Of course! Crash course it is.
Mitaka:
Cr-Crash course?
Akemi:
Not interested?
Mitaka:
Yes. I'll endure any training.
But how about lunch first?
Akemi:
Let's see. Somewhere that serves liquor.
Mitaka:
Then...
Akemi:
Let's start with this.
Mitaka:
The statue of Hachiko?
Akemi:
Give him a pat. On his head.
Mitaka:
B..But people are looking.
Akemi:
You said you'd do anything.
Mitaka:
N..No...
Akemi:
Hurry up! Move it!
Crowd 1:
What's he doing?
Crowd 2:
He looks like an idiot.
Crowd 3:
Oh my.
Crowd 4:
He's so close to the spring.
Crowd 5:
No way.
Crowd 6:
I don't believe this.
Akemi:
I guess this is something I can't handle by myself.
Mitaka:
Keep it secret from Otonashi-san.
Akemi:
You got it.
Yotsuya:
I see. Just as I thought.
Akemi:
``Just as you thought?''
Does that mean you knew, Yotsuya-san?
Yotsuya:
I had a feeling about it.
Although Godai-kun seems to have known all the time.
Godai:
Yeah. Sort of.
Ichinose:
But of all people, Coach Mitaka?
Akemi:
Got any good ideas?
If he can't do something about his fear of dogs, he can't even get near Souichiro.
Mitaka-san's really desperate.
Ichinose:
All right! I'll give him a hand!
Yotsuya:
If I can be of any help...
Akemi:
Really?
Ichinose:
Now that it's decided.
Ichinose + Yotsuya + Akemi:
Cheers!
Mitaka:
Yotsuya-san! The original experience?
Yotsuya:
Exactly. How did you come to fear dogs?
Without knowing what started it......there's nothing we can do about it.
I know it must be hard on you to retell it......but without that...
Mitaka:
All right. Here's the story.
It was when I was still in elementary school.
Friend:
Here we go again. It's him again!
Mitaka:
What do we do?
Friend:
Get it back, of course.
Hey! Doggy! Doggy! Doggy! Over here!
Mitaka:
Now!
Friend:
Come on! Over here!
Come on! Over here! Good boy! Come back here!
Mitaka:
I couldn't get out of there until the dog's supper time. Yotsuya-san!
Yotsuya:
May I take this home?
Mitaka:
Go ahead.
Yotsuya:
Well then...
Mitaka:
Yo..Yotsuya-san!
Yotsuya:
Don't worry. Leave it to me.
Mitaka:
But...
Yotsuya:
One week from now we'll recreate the exact situation of your experience.
Mitaka:
Huh?
Yotsuya:
The dog's voice to the King's ass' ear.
Mitaka:
Wh..What was that all about?
Sign:
Tokeizaka Tennis Club
Akemi:
Mitaka-san!
Mitaka:
And what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
Akemi:
Thank you very much.Hang on a sec.
These are for you. Just a sec. Ta-da!
Take care of them for me.
You need to get used to them at any cost, right?
Mitaka:
I won't give up.
Ichinose:
Hey, Coach, what're you looking at?
Kyoko:
I wonder what happened to Mitaka-san? He seems to be worn out.
Ichinose:
Question 4: Which is more dangerous?
A dog barking with his head up nor a dog growling with his head low?
Mitaka:
Both of them.
Ichinose:
That won't do.
Ichinose:
Next: A growling dog.
Mitaka:
I..I..I get it!
Ichinose:
So, which one?
Mitaka:
Uh... The growling one.
Ichinose:
Bingo!
Ichinose:
And next: Question 5.
Mitaka:
Y..Yes!
Ichinose:
Ta-da!
Akemi:
65%?
Yotsuya:
Not bad, I'd say.
Ichinose:
He can touch the stuffed dogs, too.
Akemi:
Really? Then it's time for the real dog.
Yotsuya:
Why not?
Godai:
No way!
Kyoko:
Oh, going somewhere?
Godai:
Well, I was thinking of going to a book store.
It's such a quiet day, isn't it?
Kyoko:
Yeah.
Kyoko:
Akemi-san and the others went somewhere.
Godai:
Then they're...
Kyoko:
What's wrong?
Godai:
Huh? N..No! Nothing really!
Kyoko:
I see.
Mitaka:
Souichiro. That's right. I must overcome this obstacle at any cost.
Ichinose:
This meat's pretty tough.
Mitaka:
That's right. Then, Otonashi-san will...
Ichinose:
Just a sec, Coach. Come on, you haven't eaten a bit.
Yotsuya:
Shall we postpone today and try at another time?
Mitaka:
No, I will. I have to.
Ichinose:
Oh, yeah?
Akemi:
It's almost time.
Mitaka:
I see. Then... Uh...
Akemi:
What?
Mitaka:
It's time, isn't it?
Akemi:
Yep.
Ichinose:
I want three more beers!
Mitaka:
A..Aren't you coming with me?!
Yotsuya:
No. It's for your own good. You must go alone.
Mitaka:
But...
Ichinose:
We're all behind you. We'll be waiting here. Don't cheat.
Akemi:
Really. It's for your own good.
Mitaka:
That's right. I can't depend on people.
Yotsuya:
That's right.
Akemi:
Do your best.
Mitaka:
Sure.
Announcer:
#16 - Poodle. Bot-chan - one year and two months old.
And the next is Yokoyama-sama's bull-dog...
Woman:
Excuse me.
Mitaka:
Sorry about tha...
Ichinose:
But you know... He's pretty tough.
Yotsuya:
But isn't he taking too long?
Akemi:
Really. It's been over an hour.
Ichinose:
He could've chickened out.
Akemi:
We've got no choice. W..Wait!
Mitaka:
Otonashi-san...
Akemi:
How are you feeling?
Mitaka:
Much better. Besides, now I can at least stand the sight of dogs.
Akemi:
You should rest a little more.
Mitaka:
I'm grateful to you.
Akemi:
You can sleep on my lap.
Mitaka:
N..No... That's...
Akemi:
Don't be fussy.
Mitaka:
But... Wait... Not here, though.
Akemi:
Be a good boy. Kanrinin-san sure is a lucky woman.
Mitaka:
Thanks. I feel much better now. I'll take you home.
Akemi:
No. I'll go to work from here.
If I skip out too often, I could get fired. See ya.
Mitaka:
Sure. Be careful.
Kentaro:
Mitaka-san! What are you doing here?
Kanrinin-san's around, too. But she's so slow.
What's keeping her? I'll go get her!
Mitaka:
Wait! Hey!
Kentaro:
Kanrinin-san! What're you doing? Hurry up.
Godai:
Where's Souichiro-san?
Kentaro:
Over there. Mitaka-san's with him.
Godai:
What'd you say?! S..Sorry. Could you carry this?
Kyoko:
Wonder what's with him?
Kentaro:
Dunno.
Mitaka:
Get away! Calm down! Remember all that training.
Ichinose:
Question 7: How do you get rid of a playful dog?
Mitaka:
(n) Run like hell. Whack it with a stick. Ignore him.
The answer is three. Ignore him. All right!
Girl:
No! Stop that!
Godai:
Mitaka-san, give me the leash.
Girl:
Sorry!
Godai:
Not at all. Are you okay?
Mitaka:
I..Is she gone?
Godai:
Yeah. Mitaka-san?
Mitaka:
Wh..What is it?
Godai:
Kanrinin-san is coming.
Mitaka:
I see. Thank you. S..Sorry. Godai-kun, can you improvise?
Godai:
Y..Yes.
Kyoko:
Where's Mitaka-san?
Godai:
Huh? Oh... He said he remembered some urgent business or something.
Kyoko:
Really? I...I have this strange feeling.
Yotsuya:
The dreadful incident from your childhood......is still in your mind as an emotional scar.
If we can patch up the wound somehow......your fear of dogs will be cured in no time.
To do so, we must re-enact the incident and overcome it. Well then...!
Akemi:
Here we go!
Ichinose:
Ready?
Akemi:
Run!
Mitaka:
Otonashi-san, here I go! All right. Here's the ball.
Akemi:
Are you okay?
Mitaka:
I..I am! Oh, it's only a puppy.
I can handle that.
Yotsuya:
This ought to boost Mitaka-san's confidence!
Mitaka:
I..I found it! Look!
Kyoko:
It's so frightening. A traffic accident?
Mitaka:
It was really careless of me.
Kyoko:
You seem to be in poor health as well.
See, you're all sweaty now.
This is clean. Please use this.
Mitaka:
I couldn't. Thank you. I'm obliged.
Trailer:
Hello? Yes, we do have a vacancy. But it's all too sudden.
