Nagisa[speaking to Tomoya] If we're together, we can become stronger.
[Nagisa tells Kyou, Ryou, Kotomi, and Youhei about the baseball game Akio mentioned.]
You kidding? Of course I'll play with you guys!
If we have you on our team Kyou, there's no way we can lose!
I gotta admit Nagisa, your dad must have a pretty keen eye for talent if he's scouting the great Youhei Sunohara!
Yeah, apparently he sensed your amazing athletic abilities with his psychic powers?
What can I say? I talent like mine can't help but shine. Even if I try to live a normal life.
[To himself] Well, that didn't take much. Good thing he's so gullible.
Say what now?!
I'm just kidding! You're an incredible genius, an incredible athlete, incredibly thin providing incredible protection, even at night!
You called it!
Tomoya, do you think I could play baseball with you too?
Uh, do you know the rules, Kotomi?
I think I have a pretty good idea, since I watched you and Tomoyo played against the school team. I've wanted to give it a try ever since.
You saw that...?
What about you, Ryou? Are you gonna play?
Um, I'll just cheer from the sidelines. Sports aren't exactly my strong point.
Then I guess that makes two people cheering for you! You can't let us down! Okay, Tomoya?
[Eying Nagisa and Tomoya] Hm?
What is it now?
Oh, it's nothing. Just cute to see you two acting like a couple.
[Embarrassed] Oh, you think so?
[Tomoya and Youhei are planning on asking Tomoyo to help out with the baseball game.]
It's not like you to call on me like this. Is there something wrong?
Sunohara told me he wants to get nasty with you in public. [Tomoyo kicks Youhei, which causes him to slam face-first into a wall.] I guess I should have known that Tomoyo would pass the strength test with flying colors.
[Angry] I'm not your guinea pig, dammit!
What are you talking about?
[Cuts to Tomoya, Tomoyo, Nagisa, and Youhei walking down the hill.]
NagisaThanks for joining the team, Tomoyo. We're happy to have you.
I haven't agreed to anything yet. All I said is that I might join if you could get Misae to join, too.
Misae looks like she's in pretty good shape. We gotta make sure we recruit her no matter what.
Don't worry! She'll do it for me! We go way back! [Nagisa sees Yusuke Yoshino working on a telephone pole.]
NagisaOh, isn't that Yusuke Yoshino?
Oh, yeah. The guy from the wedding, right?
While we're at it, we might as well ask him to join, too! [He then calls out to Yusuke, waving] Hey! Yoshino! [He doesn't hear him]
NagisaI don't think he can hear you.
Let's do a "Yoshino call"!
A "Yoshino call"?
Yeah, like when you want an encore. He used to be in a rock band, right? We gotta speak his language if we want him to hear us! All together! [Tomoya, Nagisa, Tomoyo, and Youhei start chanting "Yoshino". Yoshino eventually comes down from the pole and smacks Youhei with his worker's helmet.]
Are you making fun of me, punk?!
[Tomoya and his friends are playing a baseball game while it is their turn up to bat.]
[At Tomoya] Why are all the girls so much better than us? That pitcher's hardcore and they're still getting hits left and right.
No outs with runners on first and third! Who's up next? [Realizes Nagisa is up to bat next.] Oh, right...It's you...I forgot...Do a squeeze play!
NagisaUh, squeeze play? What am I supposed to squeeze?
Never mind. Just swing the bat, okay? [Nagisa strikes out]
Strike! Batter out!
Nagisa[At Akio] I'm sorry.
[Tomoya and Nagisa are telling Youhei that Mei is staying over at Nagisa's house again.]
Huh? Mei's staying at your place again? Are you okay with that?
Of course! We don't mind at all! The whole family loves Mei!
And just for the record, she already told your parents and ok'd it with her school back home. She wanted to stick around and keep an eye on you.
Huh?
[In Tomoya's flashback] My brother's in his last semester of high school and he still doesn't know what to do with himself. I'd better stay here. I'm too worried to go home.
[At Youhei] Mei said she wants to have a nice, long talk with you so you be ready.
Sunohara, have you ever thought about your future goals or what you want to do with yourself?
Hm...Can't say it comes to mind, no. Obviously college is out of the question, so I guess I'll just find any old job and work any old way. But...If I happen to find a responsible girlfriend to look after me, I bet Mei wouldn't be so worried all the time.
Yeah! That's it! [Cuts to Youhei, Tomoya, and Nagisa in the courtyard.] All you gotta do is pretend you're going out with some nice girl. Someone really smart or dependable or whatever. We can introduce her to Mei and she'll stop worrying.
I see what you mean, but it's not good to lie.
I know. You think anyone would go for that?
Well, sure. Why not? It's not like you're ugly or anything. Even if you have a rotten personality, you still have a baby face. You appeal to their maternal instinct. You're Baby Sunohara! [Nagisa looks at Youhei with a curious look.]
Y-You think so?
Just think. If you and your fake girlfriend happen to hit it off, it might even turn into a real relationship.
Whoa! The Okazaki magic, huh?! [Getting extremely determined.] Alright! Bring it on! I'm ready to rock!
[Whispering] Tomoya, are you actually helping him or are you just having fun at his expense?
Uh, a little bit of both, but he'll live.
[Tomoya, Youhei, and Nagisa are looking for a fake girlfriend for Youhei. They spot Tomoyo with several other girls.]
Nagisa[To Youhei] Well, Tomoyo is sitting right over there. Why don't you ask her?
[Surprised] For real?
NagisaWhy not? I think she'd make a great girlfriend. She's pretty and caring and smart.
[To Nagisa] I don't know. It might be dangerous. Look at him, he's freaking out.
[Nervous. To Tomoya] S-Shut up! W-who's freaking out, huh?!
Nagisa[To Tomoya] Think we should take him to a doctor?
[Groans. To Youhei] Calm down. Just take a deep breath, okay?
[Takes in several breaths] Okay! Time to deliver!
NagisaI really think we need to go to the doctor...
[together] Happy birthday, Nagisa.
I hope you have many more to come.
Happy birthday and Merry Christmas!
Sure are cheerly despite getting turned down cold. In case you didn't hear, he actually sent an application to a modeling agency.
I can do whatever I want! I'm moving back home next year, so I'll just end up getting a job there either way!
Nagisa.
Hm?
Here, I got you a Birthday/Christmas present.
Really? It's a Dango!
Hm?
Thank you so much, Tomoya. Thank you guys for coming here to visit me. I know I'm not worth much, but...
Don't talk about yourself like that, Nagisa. We love you. You're just as important as anyone else in this family.
Uh-huh.
That's right.And not only that, you're a wonderful friend to all of us, too.
I know you think of yourself as a burden sometimes. But as long as you're happy, we're happy, too. So please be happy, Nagisa, for us.
I'm sorry, you guys. Okay. I'll try my best.
He-he.
[narrating] It was Christmas Eve, Nagisa's birthday. It was also the day when Nagisa decided that she was going to repeat her last year of school. After the New Year, fewer seniors bothered coming to class. I spent my time with Nagisa. Even though she was small, and even though she was frail, she always tried her best. And I wanted to try my best to protect her for the rest of my life.
[Tomoya and Nagisa arrived home while the phone rings.]
Hold on just a sec. I'll get it for you.
Oh, that's great. Thank you.
[She answers the phone.]
Hello. Okazaki residence. Yes. He's in the other room. I'll go get him for you. Hey Tomoya! It's someone from Hikarisaka Electric!
Huh? You don't think I got the job already, do you? Hello. Okazaki speaking. Oh yeah, hi boss. Can I help you with something? Huh? From Kinoshita? Oh, uh, okay. What's his number? Okay... Yeah... Got it. Yeah, thanks for giving me a call, I appreciate it. Yes, sir. I'll talk to you soon.
Is something wrong?
They said one of my dad's associates called for me. I don't know...
Hello, this is Kinoshita.
Uh, yeah, this is Okazaki.
Oh, Tomoya. Bad news.
Huh?
It's, uh, about your father. He was arrested by the police. Apparently, he was dealing, um, something illegal. I just heard the story myself. So I thought I'd better contact you in case you didn't know.
This is a small town, so rumors spread quickly, you know how it is. Well, anyway, I'm sorry, but the construction company is withdrawing their job offer.
Oh, I see...
If it's any consolation, you're still welcome here, of course. Nothing has changed. This just happened at a bad time. You'll have other opportunities. Don't let it get you down.
Nagisa.
Yes?
What do you say we leave this town? Just you and me. I should have realized it sooner but my father is, like some kind of curse. He ruins everything for me. I wanna start over somewhere as far away from him as possible.
No. You can't do that. That would be like running away. This is something you have to work out. We don't have to run. We'll be happy as long as we have each other, right?
But why does it have to be here?! We can be happy anywhere, can't we?! You said we'd be happy as long as we have each other, didn't you?
I didn't mean that we have to stay here for sure. I'll go anywhere as long as I'm with you. But, when we leave this town, we have to leave with positive feelings, not because we're running away. If we leave with regret, then we won't be able to come back. We'll be throwing it away. This is our town. This is the place where you and I were born. It's not something we should just throw away.
Even if nothing good ever happened here?
I don't know, a lot of good things happened to me. Meeting you is the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life.
[Tomoya and Nagisa are visiting Tomoya's father at a police precinct.]
[Sighs] I don't get it. What are you trying to pull? What the hell do you want from me? You think it's fun to screw up other people's lives? Is that it? To be honest, I don't even consider you my father anymore. Of course, that doesn't seem to make any difference to anyone else. To the rest of the world, I'm still your son. Come on...Don't you have anything to say about this? Don't you have anything to say to this son whose life you've destroyed over and over again? [He doesn't answer. He then starts shouting at him.] WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU?! [Tomoya's chair falls back as he abruptly stands up.]
NagisaTomoya, stop!
I've had enough. [He turns to exit] I have nothing more to say to you; there's no point. You can rot in Hell for all I care! [He exits]
NagisaTomoya...
[Tomoya is storming down an alley after visiting his father with Nagisa chasing after him]
NagisaTomoya! Wait! Hold on! Come back! [Tomoya is holding his wrist with one arm, restraining it.] Tomoya... [Tomoya then punches a nearby wall] Stop it! What are you doing?! [Nagisa takes his fist away from the wall, revealing it to be badly bruised. Tomoya then forces Nagisa to let go of him. He pauses and then prepares to punch the wall again with the same fist.] Tomoya! Tomoya! Stop! Tomoya! Tomoya! [Tomoya then is forced by Nagisa to turn around, revealing her crying face. Tomoya then falls to his knees with Nagisa.] Does...your hand hurt...?
Yeah...
NagisaIt'll hurt if you take a bath...
Probably so...[Pause] Nagisa?
NagisaYes?
Will you marry me?
Nagisa[Pause] Yes.
Are you sure?
NagisaFor as long as we've been together, I've known you were the only one. I mean it.
Even if I'm like this? Even though...I'm so pathetic?...
NagisaIt's fine. I'm pathetic, too. But...I think if we're together...we can grow stronger...
[Embraces Nagisa] Then you...you'll stay with me?
NagisaYes...Of course I'll stay with you...No matter what happens...Forever and ever...
[Akio comes out into the park where it is raining and Tomoya is practicing his swings with a baseball bat. Nagisa is standing by the side.]
Old Man...
Sure is coming down hard. Guess it's another rainy autumn, huh? [Sanae stands by Nagisa's side.] Hit or miss, this is the last pitch you're gonna get. Ready? [Tomoya nods affirmatively then gets in his batting stance. Akio pitches the ball, in which Tomoya finally hits.]
Tomoya!
Home run! [Tomoya then runs over towards Akio and gets on his hands and feet.]
Give me Nagisa's hand in marriage! [Long pause. Akio then responds]
Look at that. Just like me when I was that age.
Really honey, I've known you two were alike since I first met him. You're two of a kind.
I was in a hurry to grow up, even though I didn't know why. Guess kids never learn, do they? [Nagisa comes to Tomoya's side]
All the more reason you should understand.
[To Tomoya] Pick your head up. [He does so] If you ever make my little girl suffer, then I'm taking her back from you. You don't want to test me on that, kid.
Then...you mean...?
Thank you, dad! [Akio walks away to pick up his umbrella]
Tomoya, Nagisa isn't just our daughter, she's our hope. So I want you to know that today on you're part of that hope, too. So never forget that your happiness is our happiness as well. In other words, try your best to be happy, okay?
[Tomoya and Nagisa then bow to Sanae and Akio]
[Tomoya, Nagisa, Akio and Sanae are sitting around a table on Nagisa's 20th birthday, drinking sake.]
I feel like I've been waiting for this all my life! The day I can finally have a drink with my daughter!
[To Nagisa] This is your first time drinking sake, huh?
NagisaYes, it's a new experience for me. [She sniffs the sake then shudders.]
Nagisa, no need to force yourself, okay?
NagisaNo, I can have one cup at least. I have to for dad's sake.
Nagisa...You have no idea how proud I am to call you my daughter.
[At Akio] Booze really means a lot to you...
NagisaHere I go. [She drinks the sake]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Just look at her go! [Nagisa finishes drinking, then her face turns red.]
[To Nagisa] Uh, you look dizzy. Are you alright?
NagisaHey, Tomoya...You're so far away...Why are you spinning?
Huh?
[Nagisa then shuffles across the floor to get closer to Tomoya.]
NagisaI like you up-close.
You're drunk already, huh?
NagisaI'm not drunk! How dare you!
I hate to break it to you, but that's what all drunks say. [Nagisa looks at him with gazing eyes]
NagisaTomoya...
You two are so lovey-dovey!
I don't think "lovey-dovey" is the word for this!
NagisaHey, Tomoya!
Uh, yes?
NagisaI see you staring at my mom! You cut that out!
What the heck are you talking about?
Yeah, Tomoya...Like, what's the deal, huh? [Tomoya then sees her after drinking her sake.]
Aw, now you got Sanae drinking, too! Great!
Oh my, Tomoya. Could it be you've take an interest in little old me?
NagisaBored with me already, Tomoya?!
Whoa! Here comes the catfight!
One of those cats is your wife, you know!
NagisaCome on, Tomoya! Who do you like better?!
Oh my...Is he gonna confess his love to me?
[At Nagisa] What do you mean? Of course I-
Pick Sanae! Her boobs are bigger! [Tomoya takes note of them, slams his head on the table, then turns his attention back to Nagisa.]
NagisaHey, buddy! What are you getting all flustered about, huh?
That proves he likes Sanae after all!
No, no, no, no, no, no!
You don't like me?
No, it's not that! I mean, I like you as a person!
NagisaYou admit it?!
[Getting frustrated.] AHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!
[At Sanae] Alright, I think we've teased the boy enough. Who cares if he likes you or not? You've got me, don't ya?
I wasn't teasing him. I was serious. I might be interested in him myself.
What?! Don't leave me, Sanae!
NagisaMake up your mind, Tomoya!
[Tomoya and Nagisa have moved in as a married couple.]
Um...
What's wrong?
I'm not quite sure what to say at a time like this...
A time like what? What do you mean?
Our new life starts together today. Should I say "Ready, set, go" or something like that?
No, that's weird. It's not like a race or anything. [Chuckles]
Hm, you're right, but what should we say?
The idea is that we're gonna live together and support each other and all, so something like "Let's give it our best"?
In that case, I'd like to make a vow to start things off on a good note.
A vow?
Yep. I, Nagisa Okazaki, will no longer cry. No matter how hard things get, I vow to hang in there and never give up. [Tomoya gives her a positive look.] But, even if I don't cry when I'm sad, I might do it when I'm happy. That's just the kind of person I am. From now on, I'll do my best to support you.
Thank you, and I'll do my best to support you too, Nagisa.
NagisaTomoya?
Uh What is it?
NagisaIs it really okay for me to take a bath first? I don't wanna keep you waiting.
No, it's fine. I, uh, I'll take a bath first tomorrow and then we'll be even, alright?
NagisaOkay. That sounds fair. In that case, I'll see you when I get out.
Calm down. Come on, Tomoya, you've heard her taking a bath at her house plenty of times. It's no big deal.
NagisaAhhh!
What's wrong?!
NagisaI'm sorry. I didn't know the water would be so cold.
It takes a while for the water to get hot, but it'll be fine in a minute. Turn the faucet a little at a time, okay?
NagisaRight. Got it. Um, sorry for the trouble. I'll try to be quick.
No, it's fine. Please take your time.
NagisaNo way! I can't do that! You have to get up early tomorrow for work, so you need to get to bed soon.
Huh? Oh, you're right... Guess I forgot.
NagisaI should probably get to bed, too. I'm gonna start looking for a job tomorrow.
Huh?
NagisaI can't just stay home and fool around all day while you're working. I have to earn my keep.
Nagisa, are you awake?
NagisaYup. I'm still awake.
Are you serious about looking for a job tomorrow?
NagisaYup. But don't worry. Even if I'm not a housewife, I'll still cook and clean. I want to, 'cause this is my house, too, right?
In that case, I'll take care of some housework myself. Don't work too hard and make yourself sick again.
NagisaI know I may not be very strong, but I don't wanna live the rest of my life like I'm weak, either. Sorry, Tomoya. I don't know, maybe I'm just being selfish.
No, I don't think that at all. You never asked for anything from me that I wasn't willing to give.
NagisaBut that's the thing. Even if you don't mind, I'm always asking you to do things for me.
Yeah, but who cares? You ask me to do easy stuff like play ball with your dad or hold your hand or whatever.
NagisaThen would you hold my hand now?
Hm?
[Tomoya and Nagisa reaches each others hands and hold them.]
NagisaThis is it. It's so sudden, but we're married now.
From now on, everything we do, we do together, alright? But that being said, I'm sure we'll have our fair share of troubles.
NagisaAs long as I have you, I can handle anything. No problem.
Yeah, same here. You took the words right out of my mouth. With your support, I feel like anything is possible. I need you. You gotta stay with me forever, okay?
NagisaOf course I'll stay. Forever, wherever. I'll always be with you.
