"Kodomo no Omocha"
Both today and tomorrow, I've got time to kick back.
My family of four and I are going to stay the night.
Put on an Egyptian front and become a sphinx,
and for an American feeling, Texas!
When you're sitting pretty, with enough and to spare,
and yet you always shilly-shally,
and your bitter face and bitter feelings both teeter-totter,
it's time to get out of there!
I am feeling Ultra Relax,
a wonderful, invincible Relax.
A one-step-above kind of Deluxe.
I may be a little jumbled, but when I'm called on, ba-ba-ba-ba-bang!
I always feel Relax,
a humble, simple, sort of Deluxe.
Bright! Clear! Alert-headed, peep-peep!
Keep your eyes on me, okay!?

Episode 73: Stupid Mother & Daughter in America
Naozumi-kun...Naozumi-kun
It's all your fault! If anything happens to Naozumi-kun I'm holding you responsible !!
Do you realize what you just said to Naozumi-kun?
I just... um...
Enough of this nonsense! Come help me find him!
Cecile is your younger sister.
Naozumi!
I am Gary Hamilton.
Don't say it anymore.
I don't want to know anything anymore.
Naozumi.
I want to live alone by myself.
I wish we could be like this forever.
Good-bye!
Naozumi!
It hurts.
My head, it hurts!
I want to go back, go back... to Japan... to Kamura Academy...
Naozumi-kun!
Naozumi?
It really is Naozumi!
What happened to you ? You're completely soaked.
Mom...
He's not here.
Maybe he went back home?
Hello, Rei-kun... Naozumi-kun, he still hasn't returned?
Ah, no... nothing's the matter, we just lost each other.
I'm fine, I'm with Brad taking cover from the rain.
That's very dangerous, you're right!
If Naozumi-kun comes back, please tell me, bye.
Brad?
What?
What do you mean, "what"?! Bastard !!!! I'm very angry!!
I will never forgive you for all the things you did...
For me...
Cecile is my everything!
I'll do anything for Cecile.
I'm the only one who protects Cecile.
Just because of this you use schemes and crimes?
I just wanted to frighten you before, but I could still hurt you whenever I want!
Your behavior is ABSOLUTELY WRONG !
Wait a minute, I'm too angry, my face is getting all wrinkled.
An actress's face is her life. I won't yell anymore.
You're the one who's always angry.
Let's change this ugly face you have on.
No matter what.
If anything happens to Naozumi-kun,
I'll tie you up and throw you into the Ganges River!
That's a crime too.
The Ganges river is here, right here.
Did Naozumi get lost?
Ah, yes, he's very stupid.
I'm very worried.
You're worried?
Because it's dark already.
And he didn't bring an umbrella either.
I'm going to look for him.
I'll go too.
Ah! Then I'll ..
... stay and housesit.
I'm starting to get worried too.
I hope Sana-chan is all right.
You've become all wishy-washy after coming to New York!
Nothing will happen to Naozumi, right?
Let's wait for him here for a bit.
Hi! Sagami Rei here, are you Naozumi-kun?
Are you Sagami Rei-san?
Ah yes, this is Sagami Rei.
Um...Are you Naozumi's manager?
Ah, temporarily...
His manager is in the hospital with food poisoning.
He should have been out by now but when he was leaving the hospital...
he got hit by an ambulance and got sent back.
But... who, may I ask, is calling?
I'm Mizukuchi, Yuko Mizukuchi.
Oh I see.
Naozumi is here at my house, he was soaked in the rain.
He has a fever right now.
Oh don't worry about him, he's sleeping very well.
Oh is that so ?
I'm so sorry that he has put a stranger to such trouble.
Ah, but I'm not a stranger.
I am Naozumi's mother.
Oh, then I have been very rude!! Sorry.
Huh?
Naozumi.
I am Naozumi's mother...
Hello? Ah, Rei-kun!
You found him? Is he alright?
What? Yuko Mizukuchi, his mother?
Was it that person?
Maybe she's Naozumi's real mother.
Hello ...Sana-chan, Hello ... ?
Ah, that's enough, Rei-kun.
You didn't say anything to Cecile did you?
What do you mean, that's enough?!
I didn't say anything to Cecile, or to Bernie.
Sorry, sorry... But still, please don't tell them anything.
Yes yes, I don't understand this business anyway.
Thank you, Rei-kun.
No problem, bye bye.
So everything's settled, right? I'm going home.
I understand now that you really care about Cecile.
But everything you've done so far is wrong.
Hurting other people just to protect somebody is unforgivable.
Would a sincere apology help?
You're too naive, you bastard!
Yo!
Cecile, Bernie! They've found Naozumi-kun, he's safe!
You can come back to supper now.
Cecile.
Bernie!
Ah, you're awake ?
I made some hot soup.
It was lucky that I passed by, you were completely soaked!
How's your fever?
Your fever is gone! This is great, I was so worried!
You just rest, I've already told your manager. Sorry...
This woman loves to talk! [Sign: Ah...Naozumi-chan...]
She's still talking. [Sign: Ah...Naozumi-chan...]
How is it? How is the taste?
It was delicious.
Sorry, I'm just so happy that....
...you think the soup I made is good.
This day... I never even dreamed that this day would arrive.
You used to be an actress?
Not used to, I'm still an actress.
I'm negotiating to be in a big Broadway show now!
I've been unlucky before, but now everything's going to change.
This person is an actress too?
An actor doesn't mean a foreigner. [Sign: Mother-son acting pair?]
We can't let you become feverish again, so you just lie here some more.
You should sleep through the night to morning.
If there are any problems just tell me, don't be too polite.
Good night, Naozumi.
Um...
What is it ?
Is my father...
...Gary Hamilton?
Who told you this?
I found out by accident.
Is he my father?
Y-Yeah.
We met when... he came to Japan to work.
Then we fell in love.
At that time he was... very gentle.
At that time... If he had stayed with me.
I used to think maybe I wouldn't have left you.
Even though I waited for him...
It seemed selfish to expect that of him...
I wasn't right for him...
But now I'm grateful to him.
He knew that you had became a very famous child actor in Japan.
Maybe it was because of this that he asked you to work here.
Because of this, I finally met you.
Please don't hate him.
I don't hate him anymore, either.
This week's useful english word.
[Sign: trick = scheme]
Thank you very much for taking care of Naozumi-kun.
Oh no! I am his mother. It is I who should thank you.
May I inquire... Whose mother are you?
Hi.
I am so embarrassed.
As long as you're safe, everything's fine.
Sorry, I made you worry.
This is the place you were going to, right?
No... She just passed by and saw me.
She said that Gary-san was...
He's your father?
Yeah, she told me.
So Cecile is my younger sister.
So many things just happened, my mind was so confused.
That's why I got a fever.
Naozumi-kun, you're pure-hearted.
Eh, what do you mean?
Another word for it is 'innocent'.
You're talking like you're superior to everyone again.
I'm not being superior, just praising you...
I'm saying you're innocent, like a little child.
You're a child too!!
Of course I'm not... so please don't think like that.
Maybe I should say 'romantic' or 'idiotic' ..
She's still talking like that...
Close it.
Please don't tell Sagami-san and Bernie about Cecile.
Of course I won't say anything.
Thank you.
I want to stay here for now. There's a lot of things I must think about.
I must think about them properly.
That's true, that's true.
About the rehearsals...
About that...
Can I sing a song?
Please do.
1,2,1,2,3,5!
5, face so red.
You must rest when you have a fever.
So that's settled.
I've helped out!
I will tell Michelle-san.
I'm very sorry.
Hida baba
"Hida baba" is "Mou Man Tai". ["no problem" in Cantonese]
She keeps on telling me that she's his mother.
Oh yes, she's Naozumi-kun's mother.
Ah, I thought so...
I'm late! I'm leaving now.
Please work hard!
I see. So Naozumi-kun's mother is in New York.
A bit dense?
One is nearly late, the other has a cold and needs to rest.
These unprofessional children are such a hassle.
Let's begin practice!
Can't you say something nice for once, Lady?!
But I'm used to it now.
But could it be that Michelle-san is so cold to us...
because of Gary-san and Naozumi-kun's relationship?
It's rather sad.
A missed beat there!
Ya think?
I'm home.
Welcome home. Welcome home!
Where's Naozumi?
He's still feverish, so he's staying at Yuko-san's.
Oh yes, Yuko-san is the woman who saved Naozumi-kun.
Cecile... Cecile!
She was longing for Naozumi to come back.
Naozumi is her only support right now.
Cecile.
Yes?
Can I sit next to you?
Go ahead.
This is the first quiet time that we two can just talk.
Naozumi hates me.
Because he's always trying to avoid me.
I tried so hard to see him at the mansion, but he left immediately.
I came here and he left again.
Naozumi is trying to avoid me. He hates me!
Everyone seems to hate me.
Naozumi, Papa and Mama all hate me.
A child who cannot dance... So... I am a child that no one wants.
That time I fell from the stage, my leg tendon snapped.
Ever since then, the way Mama and Papa look at me has changed.
It's like they're saying from far away, "what a troublesome child".
"We don't want you!" That's what their eyes say.
Other people's children learn dancing from Mama.
Other people's children dance on Papa's stage.
They... All they're interested in is other people's children.
I can only look at them. I'm so sad.
Why was I born in such a family?
I'm just a child whom no one wants.
You hit my head!
No crying!
This is the first time I've ever seen such a spoiled girl like you.
Are you going to be like a maggot, indecisive forever?
What are maggots?
Don't ask me, I'm disgusted just thinking about it.
Then you shouldn't have mentioned it!
Life is so long, there are times we all act like maggots because we're just people.
Maggots?
Maggots ... are like this! [Sign: Don't teach bad things, Black Babbit]
Don't look!!! [Sign: Don't teach bad things, Black Babbit]
Naozumi-kun right now has problems bigger than mountains,
and he's trying to solve them.
That's probably why he no longer has any energy.
He probably wants to return to being as strong as he used to be.
Naozumi-kun has always worked hard to help himself.
So I think that this time, he can help himself too.
It'll be OK.
If there comes a time that he can't, we're still here for him, aren't we?
There's me, there's you.
When that time comes, let's hope that you won't
be worried and indecisive over ridiculous things.
Ridiculous things?
Yes, Naozumi-kun hasn't said that he hates you.
Your Mama and Papa haven't said they didn't want you.
But you still think like this! Isn't that ridiculous?
Mama said that to me once.
It was when she knew that I would never dance again.
Why? Why does a thing like this happen to my child?
I don't want a child who cannot dance, I don't want her!
Don't talk anymore, Michelle. What if Cecile hears?
Michelle Hamilton's child isn't allowed to be unable to dance!
Michelle!!
What a dumb mother-daughter pair, how appropriate for New York!!
You know...
Naozumi-kun is just like me...
...abandoned when we were babies.
Abandoned, thrown away.
However, however..
Neither of us ever thought of ourselves as children whom no one wanted.
Even though many things happen every day...
...to slowly shape our laughing, crying, angry, loving-to-live selves.
And there are a lot of people who love us too.
Aren't you just the same?
There must be a lot of people who like you.
Just like the way you like Naozumi-kun.
All the things you've done were wrong!
Hurting other people just to protect somebody...
...is unforgivable!
Damn it!
Hi, Brad.
Wh-what's that?
Chicken-and-potato sandwiches.
I don't want any. I don't want your pity.
I don't pity you in the least.
I'm just in a good mood.
Here, eat them, I made extras.
The world is not so bad.
What weird nonsense is that guy talking about?
Are you Mr. Gary Hamilton?
Yes I am, who are you?
I'm not a suspicious person.
I'm Rick, from the pizza shop.
I haven't ordered any pizza.
The pizza at our shop tastes really bad, don't ever order from there!
Then how can I help you?
Only you can help us, Mr. Hamilton.
Please, would you stop Yuko?
Yuko...?
Yuko Mizukuchi.
Naozumi Kamura is at her place right now.
What?
She is about to make a serious mistake.
So it's Yuko?
Um sorry ... the microwave oven is having some problems.
I'm going to learn how to cook. I don't want Naozumi to hate me.
Of course I won't ... Mother.
No matter how it tastes, it's all Mother's cooking.
You called me Mother.
I'm eating now.
It's going to work, my plans are going to work!!
It's fine, It's totally fine.
When you sing this song, your worries will go
Bye Bye Bye
Cuz your heart will be healthy
and your body will be carefree
so resolve when to give up
Bye Bye Bye Bye
(Sing-ken-ken ken-ken) (Tida-apa-apa, Enday-kambay-kambay))
It's always the same old nonsense,
My My My My My
(Mm? Could you be fairly dumb?)
and then later comes the whimpering
Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
(Ahh...) (It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.)
Really that's ridiculous...
It's all "waaa" over here,
and the whole earth is spinning the wrong way.
So at this point now, yeah at this point now,
you can laugh it away. Excuse me, I must be going.
It's fine, it's fine,
When you sing this song, your worries will go
Bye Bye Bye
Cuz you tried your MECHA-KUCHA best
to PECHA-KUCHA out a "Hi!"
So just keep going like this!
Yay Yay Yay Yay
It's fine, it's fine,
Once your lips touch you can't change your mind.
Cuz your heart will be carefree
and your body will be healthy
So resolve when to give up
Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
(Sing-ken-ken ken-ken, Tida-apa-apa)
(Gwaenchansseumnida, kwenchanayo)
(Mou man tai!)
Hi! What will happen in the next episode of Child's Toy?
Oh, Gary, I'm disappointed in you.
How come this father only talks about work?
Naozumi-kun doesn't want to hear about that!
Yuko-san is starting her horrible plan secretly.
Naozumi-kun's going to feel worse and worse!
And I'm getting more and more angry.
Next episode of Child's Toy, number 74...
Schemes and plots are flooding New York
A Mother's Scheming Frenzy!
Hey mom, did you take down the dry clothes on the clothesline?
