Frank and Tina live in separate apartments in the same building. Today Frank visits Tina's apartment for the first time.

フランクとティナは同じ建物の別々の住戸に住んでいる。今日、フランクは初めてティナの部屋を訪れる。

Tina01

Welcome to my apartment, Frank! We live in the same building, but you never visit!

私の部屋へようこそ、フランク！同じ建物に住んでるのに、全然来ないんだから！

Frank02

My apartment is just down the hall. This is my first time inside. Wow. It is very... pink.

僕の部屋は廊下のすぐ先だよ。中に入るのは初めてだ。わあ。とても…ピンクだね。

Tina03

Pink everywhere! Bed, books, lamp, walls!

どこもかしこもピンク！ベッド、本、ランプ、壁！

Frank04

Oh. A star map. That is not pink.

おや。星図だ。これはピンクじゃないね。

Tina05

My home planet is on that map. I would never paint over it.

その地図には、私の故郷の惑星が載ってるの。それだけは絶対に塗りつぶさないわ。

Frank06

It is beautiful. Which star is your home planet near?

きれいだね。どの星の近くに、君の故郷の惑星はあるの？

Tina07

That tiny one. Small, but bright.

あの小さいの。小さいけど、明るいの。

Frank08

Small but bright. Yes. That is you.

小さいけど明るい。うん。それは君だ。
