Scenes

Audience laughter in this scene0:17
Okaeri Nicholson · The Scandal

Caught eating on the sly at work, someone apologizes, then says what they should have done sooner.

Culture note 自炊 (jisui, cooking for yourself) sounds like 自首 (jishu, turning yourself in), so line 6 sounds like a criminal's confession.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

Don't say it like you're turning yourself in!

Textbook自首のように言わないでください。「みたいに」 is casual 「のように」 ('like'): 「自首のように」→「自首みたいに」. 「言うな」 is a blunt 'don't', replacing 「言わないでください」.

Okaeri Nicholson · The Date

One person suddenly starts throwing something at the other and wants them to throw some back.

Culture note Playfully splashing water or sand at each other on a beach is a classic romantic-drama date cliché.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

Sorry, I've always wanted to do that, so I just got carried away.

Textbookすみません。憧れていたので、ついやってしまいました。'すみません' slurs to 'すいません' ('mi' becomes 'i'). Also casual: '憧れてた' (drops the 'い' of 'ていた') and 'もんで' for 'もので'.

Okaeri Nicholson · Bus Tour

During an outing, one person cuts a break short and announces the next stop.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

Huh? Wait a second, please.

Textbookえっ、少し待ってください。Formal '少々お待ちください' / '少し待ってください' becomes 'ちょっと待ってください': casual 'ちょっと', but 'ください' is kept. Here a surprised 'wait, what?'

Okaeri Nicholson · My Kid's Homework

A parent checks their son Hiroki's math homework and finds his answer doesn't make sense.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

Dad and Mom love you to bits!

Textbookお父さんもお母さんも大好きですよ。Plain "大好きだ" plus "ぞ" replaces "大好きですよ"; "ぞ" makes it a firm, warm "I mean it!".
