Odd Jobs Gin-chan
Gin: What? A tour?
Kagura: My friend, Satsuki-chan,
Kagura: asked for an educational tour of
Odd Jobs to fulfill an assignment.
Gin: Stop offering to do stuff that's a pain in the ass.
Shin: If she wants to see us at work,
we don't have any jobs today.
Gin: We haven't had any jobs in forever.
Shin: We don't want to ruin
the hopes and dreams of young children.
Kagura: No!
Kagura: I want to show them how great Odd Jobs Kagura-chan is!
Kagura: Do something about it, scumbags!
Gin: Stop tacking on random insults.
Kagura: She's here!
Kagura: You guys better act like grown-ups.
Kagura: Don't do anything weird!
Kagura: Welcome, Satsuki-chan!
Satsuki: Sorry, Kagura-chan.
I'm sure that you're busy.
Kids: Thank you!
I Can't Remember a Damn Thing About the Factory Tour
Kagura: This is our strategist/Supreme
Commander of Eastern Operations, Strategos Shimura.
Shin: Supreme Commander of Eastern Operations?!
Kagura: Shut up and follow my lead.
Kagura: Just say stuff that sounds cool.
Satsuki: Wow, Supreme Commander of Eastern Operations...
Satsuki: Um, what kind of work do you do at Odd Jobs?
Shin: O-Our president will explain that,
so come on inside.
Kagura: President, the kids are here for their tour.
May we come in?
Shin: He's turned the room into a workshop or something...
Shin: Uh, President?
Gin: Bah, it's no use.
Gin: The naked refuses to jack in to the solid.
Shin: U-Uh, President...
Gin: Could you shut the door?
Gin: If you let the heat escape,
my Patriot will cool down and harden.
Satsuki: Oh, s-sorry!
Shin: What's a Patriot supposed to be?
Shin: I have no idea what's going on,
but the president sounds like a real craftsman.
Satsuki: Um, we're here to see you at work.
Gin: Do you prefer Calcutta or Meso Gear?
Satsuki: Huh?
Gin: If you're here, you must prefer one.
Shin: Ignore them.
Shin: Ignore their pleas for help.
Satsuki: I-I like Calcutta.
A: M-Me too.
Shin: They randomly chose one!
B: Me too.
Shin: They randomly chose Calcutta!
Gin: I see, you choose Calcutta.
Gin: Hmph, how precocious of you.
Gin: Here.
Gin: Calcutta should be enjoyed while it's hot.
Satsuki: Th-Thank you very much!
A: This is Calcutta?
B: It looks like coffee.
Shin: Why didn't you just ask them if they liked coffee or not?!
Shin: You're pissing me off!
Gin: I once tried to be brave and try Calcutta.
Gin: But now I'm a devout fan of Meso Gear.
Edo Strawberry Milk
Gin: I believe that my dedication to Meso Gear
was a product of that bitter experience.
Shin: He's throwing together a bunch of fancy phrases
to say absolutely nothing at all!
A: Can we get started?
A: What do you Odd Jobs people even do?
Gin: Well, it's quite difficult to explain what we do.
Gin: You could say that we are essentially a secret society
Gin: involved in the production and sale of this Patriot.
Shin: That would make us Patriot salesmen!
A: What is this Pastry...
Gin: Patriot.
A: What is this Patriot used for?
Gin: Don't make me laugh.
Gin: What is a Patriot used for, Kagura-kun?
Kagura: Kids say the darndest things, right, President?
Shin: What's with them?
Shin: They're pissing me off!
Gin: Let me ask you this then.
Gin: What's that below your nose?
Gin: Every person has a peculiar indentation
between their nose and mouth.
Gin: What is that used for?
A: I-I don't know...
Gin: Of course.
Gin: Now, back to the Patriot.
Gin: It's pretty much like that.
Shin: So you don't know either?!
Gin: Whether it's the indentation below your nose
Gin: or the built-in microphone on the
Famicom's second player controller,
Gin: there are many things in this world that make no sense.
Gin: However, humans are meant to eat, poop, and sleep.
Gin: Everything else we do is useless.
Gin: Our creations fall into that category.
Shin: So after making a pompous speech,
all you're saying is that we make junk!
Daigoro: Okay.
Daigoro: So you do useless work making useless stuff?
Gin: It seems that you didn't understand what I was saying.
Gin: My point was that useless can be valuable in its own way.
Daigoro: Yeah, but...
DaigorO: If all Odd Jobs does is make useless stuff,
Daigoro: doesn't that mean the members are also useless?
Shin: What's with this kid?
Satsuki: That's not nice, Daigoro-kun.
Daigoro: Satsuki-chan, we can call off the tour.
Daigoro: It's clear that these Odd Jobs people
do useless work that doesn't help society.
Shin: Wait a moment!
Kagura: While the Patriot may look useless, it is, in fact,
Kagura: a multimedia product which can be
used in a number of useless games.
Daigoro: Oh? Really?
Daigoro: What kind of games are you talking about?
Kagura: For example...
Kagura: You can use the Patriot m*ssile to whack
the head of someone who pisses you off.
Shin: You don't need the Patriot to do that!
Daigoro: I knew it.
Daigoro: I can't believe that people actually
pay you scum to make this trash.
Shin: Daigoro-kun?!
Shin: You sound like a different person after the beating to your head!
Daigoro: Satsuki, I'm going home.
Daigoro: I've had enough.
Satsuki: Daigoro-kun!
Gin: Wait, boy.
Gin: You didn't drink your Calcutta...
Daigoro: Sorry, Mr. President.
Daigoro: I don't like Calcutta or Meso Gear.
Daigoro: I go for Bourbon.
Shin: That's pretty hard-boiled!
Shin: What's with this kid?!
Daigoro: I'll need to work hard to find
a real job so I don't end up like you slobs.
Daigoro: Thanks for showing me what it's like
at the bottom of society, Odd Jobs.
Shin: Cheer up, Gin-san.
Shin: A child wouldn't be able to understand
how incredible Odd Jobs truly is.
Kagura: The other kids said they had fun.
Kagura: Though they tossed the Patriots we gave them as souvenirs.
Gin: I started this business from scratch,
and I kind of like it.
Gin: But I guess kids aren't impressed...
Shin: Th-That's not true!
Gin: Okay, tell me this then.
Gin: What can this be used for?
Gin: Can't think of anything, right?!
Gin: 'Course you can't!
Gin: I can't either!
Gin: I'm no different from this piece of junk!
Gin: Odd Jobs is trash!
Gin: We do work that doesn't mean a damn thing to society!
Shin: He's completely snapped.
Shin: It must have been a big shock to him.
Shin: Huh? Isn't that Hijikata-san?
Hijikata: We patrol the streets to make sure there aren't any
bad people doing bad things.
Hijikata: That's the most essential job of a policeman.
A: Ooh!
Hijikata: What is it?
A: Who would be a bad person?
Hijikata: Anyone who breaks the law.
A: So the law is always good?
Hijikata: In most cases, the law can be considered good...
A: I have a question then!
A: You aren't allowed to drop down from a train platform to the tracks,
A: but what if someone jumps down
to save a drunk who happened to fall down?!
A: Would someone who stays on the platform
as the drunk dies be considered good?!
Hijikata: You take those situations case by case.
A: A law that's always changing can't be considered a proper law!
Hijikata: I didn't word that right.
Hijikata: A person who makes trouble for others is a bad person.
Hijikata: The law doesn't matter.
Shin: He just threw out the law!
Shin: He got sick of trying and threw out the law!
A: By that logic, you would be a criminal for exposing
us to second-hand smoke!
Hijikata: I'm sorry! Too much smoke for you?!
Hijikata: Please forgive me! Please forgive me!
Shin: This is bad!
Shin: He's about to lose it!
Shin: He's about to turn into a criminal!
A: Could you explain how much trouble a person must cause
A: to be considered a criminal?
A: For example...
A: We have an individual getting the snot knocked out of him
A: by the woman he keeps stalking.
A: Which one is the criminal?
Hijikata: Uh...
Hijikata: I was just joking.
Hijikata: In reality, policemen are...
Hijikata: ...people involved in the production and sale of this Patriot.
Shin: He threw out everything and became a Patriot salesman!
Shin: What's going on?!
Shin: Is this a new fad?!
C: Pathetic.
C: You switch jobs when the going gets tough?
F: Guess they weren't lying when they said the police
in Japan were going to hell.
Shin: Now it's Hijikata-san's turn to lose it.
Kagura: I didn't realize you could use the Patriot that way.
Tsukuyo: Stop this foolishness.
Shin: Tsukuyo-san?
A: Please, lady!
A: We want to learn more about
the people who work in Yoshiwara!
Tsukuyo: And I told you to come back in a hundred years.
Sa: Ooh!
Sa: Could you at least teach us how to
whip a man in a way that brings pleasure?
Shin: There's a very familiar freak mixed in there!
Tsukuyo: Now, that's the last thing I would teach you.
Sa: I'm in a relationship with this guy right now.
Sa: So you'll take responsibility
if something goes wrong when the time comes?
Shin: Nothing will go wrong!
Shin: It's all in your head!
Tsukuyo: I guess it'll be too late if something goes wrong.
Tsukuyo: Well, it's probably a good idea
to learn the general basics now.
Tsukuyo: Allow me to explain then.
Tsukuyo: If this is that, and this is where you do that...
Shin: What are you doing with that Patriot?!
C: That's what girls are like?!
Tsukuyo: I was trying to give them a simple explanation without revealing anything...
Sa: Stop playing dumb!
Sa: Teach me the secret techniques of Yoshiwara!
Kondo: Well, as you can see, our job isn't
always a walk in the park.
Kondo: However, we never give up.
Kondo: Believe in a better tomorrow and stay on the trail.
Kondo: That's how you become a stalker.
Shin: That's not a job!
E: Oh!
Kondo: Yes, what is it?
E: Do you ever want to die?
Shin: What kind of question is that?!
Kondo: A very good question.
Shin: It's not a good question!
Kondo: A job is supposed to be painful.
Kondo: In that case, you should look for pain that you can enjoy.
Shin: How can you say that while pretending to be a professional?!
Madao: That is naive!
Madao: There are many people with jobs they absolutely hate!
Madao: Society needs these people to function!
Madao: Look at me!
Madao: You think I want to be a Patriot?!
Shin: Hey!
Shin: I seriously have no idea what a Patriot is supposed to be!
Madao: But I don't have a choice!
Madao: If I don't do this, who will?!
Madao: This world needs Patriots!
Shin: The hell it does!
Kondo: The people who always blame others...
Kondo: ...can never have a better life.
Madao: How would you...
Madao: How would you know how it feels to be a Patriot?!
Kondo: I know.
Madao: Huh?
Kondo: After all... After all...
Kondo: I'm working two jobs as both a Patriot and a stalker!
Shin: That just means you fail at life!
Madao: Y-You too?
Kondo: Yeah, you don't have to bear the burden alone.
Kondo: Ask me for help.
Madao: Th-Thank you.
E: Uh, excuse me.
E: So what's a Patriot?
Both: No idea.
Shin: What are you people doing?
Shin: You grown-ups let a bunch of kids bully you around.
Shin: It's the job of a grown-up to teach kids what's important.
Shin: We can't let their tour end like this.
Mom: Daigoro, there's a letter for you.
Daigoro: Letter?
Invitation to an educational tour of a Patriot factory.
Daigoro: What's this?
A: Daigoro!
A: You received an invitation too?
Daigoro: Oh, you guys also got one?
Invitation to an educational tour of a Patriot factory.
E: I was gonna ignore it,
but I heard that we'll get Dokkiriman stickers.
Daigoro: So, what's a Patriot factory?
Welcome to the Patriot Factory
Shin: We've been waiting for you, kids.
Kagura: You brats, I mean, nice children
Kagura: were chosen from around the world
to tour this factory of dreams!
Shin: I'm Pachi!
Kagura: I'm Gura!
Both: We'll be your guides on this tour of the factory of dreams!
B: Isn't this a total rip-off of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
A: Excuse me, what is the purpose of this tour?
Shin: What? You don't appreciate our invitation?
Kagura: Feel free to leave.
Kagura: But you won't get any Dokkiriman stickers.
Kagura: And you'll lose your chance to learn what Patriots are.
Daigoro: Who cares about Patriots...
Sa: Look! Look!
Sa: It's a Patriot factory!
Sa: No way! I don't believe it!
Tsukuyo: I never imagined that a Patriot factory would be here!
Tsukuyo: I heard that they were only produced by
NASA, the FBI, and the NBA!
Sa: Let's take a look.
Tsukuyo: Wait, Sarutobi!
Hijikata: Chief, I found some suspicious people
who were investigating the Patriot.
Hijikata: I immediately shot them down.
Gin: Roger that.
Gin: So the Succeed Committee has finally made its move.
Gin: The time of Ragnarok is upon us.
Gin: We must hasten the development of the Patriot.
Hijikata: I also see some funny-looking kids.
Hijikata: Should I take them out?
Gin: They are my guests.
Gin: The last hope of humanity.
Gin: The children who will inherit the Patriots.
Gin: Welcome to the Patriot factory tour.
Kagura: Chief!
Kagura: The kids aren't interested in the Patriot.
Gin: I see.
Gin: But you've seen too much already.
Gin: Take them out...
Kagura: You can leave.
Shin: Be careful on the way home.
Shin: This way.
C: Seriously! We should leave!
B: They'll k*ll us if we leave!
Daigoro: We'll have to do as they say and tour the Patriot factory.
E: But...
Kagura: Take a look at this.
History of the Patriot
Shin: You can see the history and
development of the Patriot here.
Shin: Here, you will find the current Patriot design.
Shin: However, Patriots have been around since the Jomon period.
Shin: Thanks to trial and error,
we were able to create one of the essential tools in our life.
C: I've never used one before.
Shin: This would be the father of the Patriot,
Shin: the oldest one known, which was created by
the chief of the Zugomanda tribe.
E: Isn't that a drumstick?
Shin: It may look like one, but this is, in fact, a Patriot.
Shin: Look over here.
Shin: It says "not for consumption" on the side.
A: It has to be edible if there are preservatives!
Kagura: The original Patriot was known as the
boned Patriot or Kin(Patriot)Man.
C: There's only one word that would fit in there!
Shin: In the Heian period,
Shin: the Tang ambassador Zugomaru Kakinomoto
altered the design significantly.
Shin: He brought ingredients back from the Tang
to make it a Spicy Patriot...
A: That's just spicy chicken!
A: And somebody took a bite out of it!
A: Zugomaru's still got some around his mouth!
Shin: And in the Sengoku period,
Zugomanzo turned the Patriot into something.
A: Why is it part of a combo now?!
C: Did Zugomanzo even do anything?!
C: This is like the history of fried chicken!
Shin: And eventually we reached the current Patriot design.
A: Why?!
A: You skipped over the most important part!
Shin: Now that you have some basic knowledge of the Patriot,
Shin: we'll give you a tour of the factory.
Shin: We'll see how the Patriot is constructed.
Shin: As you can see, the Patriot is made up of three parts.
Shin: The tissue box, which is known as the solid.
C: Uh, you called it a tissue box, so why call it the solid?
Shin: The toilet paper, which is known as the naked.
Shin: And the stick.
A: Why did you stop coming up with names?!
Shin: You jack in the three parts to create a Patriot.
Kagura: Look at the conveyor belt.
C: I don't see a thing.
A: Maybe the place is a mess because the chief is dead?
All: The chief is moving down the belt!
Kagura: The first step is to fix the broken factory chief.
Kids: That's where you start?!
A: Broken chief?! You're the ones who broke him!
Shin: The factory chief was broken to begin with.
A: Nobody respects the chief!
Kagura: First, we use tissues to wipe up the bloody body.
C: That's one of the parts for the Patriot!
C: Start assembling the Patriot already!
Shin: Next, we use toilet paper to wipe away his bloody past.
C: Who cares about his past?!
C: Make the Patriot already!
Kagura: And then you use the Patriot to wake him up.
C: The Patriot's already finished!
C: Why would you use a Patriot to make a Patriot?
Shin: Then you repeat the process three times.
C: You're just abusing him!
C: And aren't these the people who were shot?
Kagura: The chief must settle past accounts before he can be revived.
C: They're just getting revenge!
Heal
Shin: And finally, we send the factory chief into the healing machine.
Shin: The factory chief is complete!
C: Nothing changed!
Kagura: This is the completed form of the factory chief.
Kagura: He was born broken.
C: What was the point of that whole process then?!
Shin: In the second step,
we give the assembled factory chief motivation.
Shin: Otherwise known as giving the factory chief a goal.
C: Enough with the chief!
Shin: The chief is absolutely necessary
for the production of a Patriot,
Shin: so this can't be avoided.
C: When are you going to make a Patriot?!
A: This is turning into a factory for making factory chiefs!
I could only see the stars back then.
A: Hm? What's that?
A: They put him in a school uniform.
A: It's so fast!
A: I can barely keep up!
C: Hey! Look over there!
Do your best! Become the best factory chief in Japan!!
Both: Hooray! Hooray! Do your best!
A: Why are they acting like he's on a train to Tokyo?!
Sa: We believe in you!
You can become the best factory chief in Japan!
You can do it, Facto!
A: His name is Facto?!
A: Hey!
A: What kind of process is this?!
C: Now we have some kind of funky set!
Madao: You want to become a factory chief?!
Madao: You were destined to inherit
my toilet paper business from the
day you were born!
A: Who's that?!
Madao: Go to Edo to work for a tissue factory?!
Madao: Don't look down on me!
Madao: You think that toilet paper's only meant for wiping the ass?!
B: Why is the factory chief's father here?!
Daigoro: This must be a flashback.
Daigoro: He was kicked out of his home,
which would explain the previous scene.
Kondo: Darling!
Kondo: Stop it!
Kondo: Our son is making paper in his own way!
C: Now his mother's here?!
Madao: Let me go, Isako!
Madao: This is a discussion between men!
Madao: Ah, Facto!
Madao: Where are you going?! I'm not finished with you yet!
Roof
A: What are they trying to do?!
E: Oh, he's wearing his old clothes again.
Hijikata: Oh, chief.
Hijikata: Good work.
A: He has a buddy with him now!
Hijikata: Why are you taking a nap here?
A: He's not taking a nap!
A: He's been out cold on the conveyor belt this whole time!
Hijikata: Thinking about old times again?
Hijikata: Your old man was really something.
Hijikata: A family of toilet paper men who refused to use tissues.
Hijikata: When wiping his ass,
blowing his nose, writing down notes...
Hijikata: He even used toilet paper for the tires on his car.
A: Is the last one even necessary?!
Hijikata: You left your home because you didn't want
to follow in his footsteps.
Hijikata: And so, you became the chief of a tissue factory.
Hijikata: You still refuse to use toilet paper?
Hijikata: You're just as stubborn as your father.
Hijikata: Still, chief...
Hijikata: If your old man saw you now,
Hijikata: I'm sure he'd be willing to use tissues.
Kondo: He never changed...
Kondo: He was always so stubborn.
Kondo: He used toilet paper to wipe his ass and blow his nose.
Kondo: When your tissues first went on sale,
he used toilet paper to wipe away the tears.
Kondo: Tissues weren't good enough for him.
A: Chief!
A: What are you thinking?!
A: You really think this product will sell?!
B: I can't go along with this!
C: Hey, did you hear?
C: The chief has come up with a crazy new product.
Daigoro: D-Don't tell me...
C: His job's on the line.
C: But he insists on going through with the idea.
Daigoro: It can't be...
D: Hey, what kind of product are we talking about?
Daigoro: No way...
Gin: Toilet paper and tissue join together.
Gin: The ultimate paper for wiping away your tears.
Daigoro: Th-That's the Patriot!
Gin: We will now proceed to the final step for creating a Patriot.
B: Look! Above the conveyor belt!
Madao: Come, Patriot factory chief!
Shin: Do you still think that Patriots are trash?
Kagura: Do you still think that this job is trash?
Shin: Jobs aren't meant to be compared.
Shin: When you willingly work for the sake of someone else,
Shin: you're doing your job.
Shin: Every job deserves respect.
Shin: Because the world needs all of us to do our jobs.
Shin: Would you like to try doing your job?
Both: Go help the factory chief.
Gin: K-Kids...
Kids: You should have just gotten your ass off the conveyor belt!
A: Good work, everyone.
E: Yeah, we took out the trash.
Daigoro: Those damn fools wasted our time with that stupid show.
Shin: That was an educational experience.
Kagura: Yep.
