MAMESHIBA
Girl 1: It’s about time you tried to get set up for an arranged marriage or something isn’t it?
Girl 2: I don’t need anything like that…
Bean: Hey that’s no good!
Bean: Welcome!
Girl 1: Welcome?
Bean: Hey did you know? A canary that can’t sing well will be single forever…
Girl 2: What?! Shut up!!!
Kansai-ben is an international language. You must learn it.
