俳句仲間のエモリさんとシンディがカフェで話しています。
Mr. Emori, what’s wrong? You’re not your usual smiling self.
Oh, I’m kind of disappointed in Mr. Suzuki, the haiku club president.
What happened?
He had organized a haiku reading for all the members. But he didn’t show up.
So, you didn’t have the gathering?
We had it, but everyone was looking forward to hearing his haiku. He’s a master.
Oh, well, I’m sure he had a good reason for not coming. Cheer up.
Thank you, Cindy.

Roxy, can you turn the music down a bit?
Oh, sorry, Grandpa. Was it too loud?
Just a little. Anyway, try to stay warm, Roxy. The temperatures are going down these days.
Don’t worry, Grandpa. I have my hanten coat from Japan.
It’s good that you brought that.
Mom suggested that I bring it, but I didn’t want to at first.
Why not? It’s stylish.
Yes, but I thought people might laugh at me here in England.
Not at all. Brits like being different, fashion-wise.
I know that now.
デスパレート・ラッツのデレクが、映画監督のドリスと付き合っているようです。
Cynthia, can I ask you something in private?
Sure, Bill, what’s up?
I saw Doris and Derek holding hands outside. Is she going out with Derek?
I don’t know, but eventually the truth will out.
Derek with Doris? He’s a wild rock and roller, and she’s a reserved film director.
And, Derek always stands out in a crowd.
That’s why it’s hard to imagine them as a couple.
Well, you know what they say. Opposites attract.

Aki? What on earth? What are you doing here?
Brendan! What a surprise! I’m visiting my cousin. She lives here in Naha. What are you doing here?
I’m here to investigate the area off the coast of Yonaguni.
I see. Strange timing! Hey, how about getting some lunch? Are you hungry?
Starving. Do you know a good place?
Sure. It’s right here. Let’s go in. Oh, you have to take off your shoes.
No problem.

You look lost in thought.
Well, I was invited to Ellie’s birthday party. But she’s going out with my ex, so actually I don’t want to go.
I have to come up with a reason for not showing up.

What can we do? We have no time.
Calm down. Even though we’re running out of time, I’m sure we can work it out.
Let me see the file. I’m a computer whiz, you know.
