GabumonI'm hungry! I'm hungry!

AgumonNokia, take me, take me!

NokiaYes, yes! Fine! If I take you will you calm down?

Nokia...Ah! Player!

NokiaAll right, then! You might as well hang out with Player.

Player?

NokiaI will file the case at the office, thanks!

Player???

AgumonHuh? You're asking if we combined together, would we become Omnimon?

GabumonYeah, we would!

GabumonBut we would stick out if we were walking around as Omnimon...

AgumonYeah! So I decided we should keep this form whenever walking around the human world with Nokia, as much as possible!

AgumonAlso, when we combine together we expend more of our power.

GabumonYeah! We have to conserve our power... That way, when we need it, we can use it to protect Nokia!

NokiaAwww... You guys...

AgumonWe can combine and turn into Omnimon whenever we want to...

GabumonSo, don't be afraid! Nokia, Player!

NokiaAww, shucks...

Player...!

NokiaI may not have much money, but at least I have some great Digimon friends...

NokiaPlayer, please go and check the case info back at the office, and get to work!

NokiaYaaaay! Player! Thanks for taking the case!

NokiaThis kid really wants to eat something delicious from the real world...

GabumonWe want to learn more about humans through food!

AgumonI'm hungry! I'm hungry!

NokiaSo, what do you say, Player? Wanna hang out?

AgumonI'm hungry! I'm hungry! Where are you taking us!?

NokiaUhm...well... Hey, Player, where would be best do you think?

PlayerWell, what about sushi? Maybe some Italian food? I could go for some French food.

NokiaHuh? What? Are you crazy!? They'll probably get sick from the raw fish...

NokiaI don't think the vinegar in the rice would agree with them...

NokiaThen there's the cost of the actual sushi...

NokiaHuh? What!? Are you crazy!? We're not going on a date, you know...

NokiaWe should go somewhere with real food, don't you think?

NokiaAlso, you have to consider the cost of an Italian place...

NokiaHuh? What!? Are you crazy!? We can't go somewhere so expensive...

NokiaWe should go somewhere unpretentious and local, where the prices aren't too bad, don't you think?

NokiaAlso, you have to consider the cost of a French restaurant...

NokiaYeah, that's right.

NokiaIt's casual, it's cheap... Did I mention it's cheap?

Player...

GabumonPlayer, you're doing that
"Why are you asking me?" face...

AgumonWhichever! It doesn't matter! Let's just eat! I'm starving!

NokiaOkay! Let's go to a family restaurant in Shinjuku!

NokiaOh! I think I remember looking for a family restaurant in Shinjuku before...

NokiaHuh? That sweet smell...where's it coming from?

GabumonOh! It smells so goood!

Nokia...Huh?

Yuuko...

Nokia...Yuuko?

Yuuko...

AgumonOh! What are you doing here, Nokia!?

NokiaHuh? Oh, nothing really...

GabumonNokia! This place has such a huge menu! What would you like?

NokiaHmmm... Lemme see... How about the hamburger?

AgumonHam...burger?

NokiaEveryone in the human world eats it. It's cheap, delicious, popular and basic!

GabumonAlso, this looks delicious, but what's "steak"?

NokiaThat's...

NokiaEveryone likes it, bit it's not a common food. It's expensive and high-class.

GabumonReally? Okay then, I'll have that!

Nokia!!!

AgumonI think I'll try the chateaubriand steak!

NokiaWha'!? Wh-why are there such expensive dishes in a place like this!?

Nokia...Player, what'll you have?

Player...

Player(Rice with hashed meat and shrimp pilaf... Well, this looks like a good, basic family restaurant menu...)

Player(It all looks so good, it's hard to choose)

Player(Oh, what's this?)

Player(Rice omelet...)

Player(It's simple, so it's a good test for the chef's skills... Okay, let's give it a try!)

Family Restaurant StaffSorry for the wait. Here's your rice omelet!

Player(Wow, so this is it...)

Player(Okay, so the egg is well done, not soft in the middle like a lot of places these days...)

Player(It's done just like you'd expect from a family restaurant. The firmness of the egg is perfect for a traditional rice omelet!)

Player(Well, let's see what this is like...)

Player...

Player(Oh! ...This is delicious!)

Player(I think the the taste of the ketchup base in the chicken rice might be too strong...)

Player(The flavor of the egg compliments the flavor of the chicken rice beautifully.)

GabumonThat was delicious!

NokiaI'm completely stuffed! And I'm nearly broke, too...

AgumonBroke?

NokiaYeah, never mind... So, have you learned about how we eat in the human world?

GabumonYeah, but not nearly enough!

AgumonI want to eat more! I need mooooorree!!!

GabumonCome on Nokia, please! Do it for Digimon-Human relations!

NokiaUh... I...uhhhhhhhhh!

NokiaWell, what about a pork cutlet place? You get a decent portion size, and it's reasonably cheap?

AgumonI could still go for another full meal. I need more food!

GabumonMore food! Let's get more food!

AgumonRight! Let's see who can eat the most!

NokiaBut...you guys...couldn't you try to hold back a little? Please...?

GabumonI'm gonna have a pork fillet and a pork loin cutlet and fried prawns and...

AgumonWhat do you want, Nokia?

NokiaI... Umm, I...

Nokia...

NokiaPlayer, what would you suggest?

Player...

Player(You can't go wrong in a pork cutlet place. The best choice would be the pork loin cutlet.)

Player(A light, tender pork fillet would be good, too...)

Player(Whenever I go to eat at a pork cutlet place I want a nice loin cutlet with oil drizzled on top to bite into...)

Pork Cutlet Shop StaffHere you are, your loin cutlet...

Player(Wow... This is...)

Player(It's quite well done. It's cooked to a light brown, but it still stimulates the appetite...)

Player(Okay, I'm going to put a bit more sauce on this pork cutlet...)

Player(I know lots of people say the right way to eat it is to put the sauce in a separate dish, in order to keep it crunchy, but...)

Player(I prefer it this way because the sauce seeps into the batter, and I like how that changes the taste...)

Player...

Player(Oh! This is delicious! Loin cutlet is definitely the best...)

Player(The flavor pouring out of the fatty portion of the cutlet is absolutely amazing...)

Nokia...Player! Are you even listening to me!?

Player!!!

NokiaYou were off in your own world again!

NokiaCan you give me a hand? It's a bit of an emergency...

NokiaPlayer, how much money do you have? I...I don't seem to have enough...

Player!?

NokiaIn that case...should we just dine-and-dash?

NokiaI'm gonna have to pay it off by working for them!

Player!!!

AgumonWork it off?

GabumonYou don't have any money, Nokia?

NokiaWell, I...uh..um, it's not...it's just that... ummm...

GabumonDo you have it or not? Which is it?

Nokia...

AgumonAwww.... Hungryyyyy!!!

NokiaHuh!? What... What's going on!?

AgumonAwwww... Come on! I'm still hungry! I'm not full yet!

GabumonMe too! I wanna eat! I need to eat mooooorrrrreee!!!

NokiaUh-oh... This isn't good... Are they going crazy or something?

NokiaAgumon and Gabumon are starting to act like those other Digimon that went crazy and rampaged!

Yuuko...

NokiaHuh? Ah! ...Yuuko!? What are you doing here?

YuukoLeave this to me!

Player?

YuukoI'll pay, don't worry about it... Please, eat all you want... I'll join you.

NokiaYou...you'll join us?

NokiaPhwah... I'm stuffed! Thanks! I really owe you one, Yuuko!

YuukoThat's fine, don't mention it. There's nothing worse in the world than being hungry.

NokiaStill, you can really pack it away, Yuuko!

YuukoTha'...that's not true...

NokiaHuh? But you kept ordering more cabbage and miso soup...

Yuuko...Nokia, stop it. You're embarrassing me.

NokiaAh, um... Sorry.

Nokia...All right then, let's go home!

GabumonAwwwwwwww!!! Really!?

AgumonI wanna eat! I wanna eat! I need more foooood!

NokiaYou guys have had enough for one day...

Yuuko...

YuukoWould you like some dessert?

Player!?

NokiaHuh? No... Yuuko!?

YuukoThere's a dessert place I like to go to around here...

AgumonYeahhhhhhhh!!!

YuukoWould you guys like to come along?

YuukoIt's an awful thing to miss a meal... I'd like to make sure they aren't going hungry.

NokiaUm...okay, I don't really see why but I guess it's fine with me... Thanks, Yuuko!

NokiaI know you just finished a big meal, but you'll want more once you're standing in front of the dessert place...

YuukoI always have room for dessert!

GabumonRoom? For dessert?

Nokia"Room for dessert" means that God gave us humans a separate room in our stomachs to use when it really counts...for dessert!

AgumonA separate room?

NokiaNever mind about all that. What do you guys want to eat?

GabumonThose jelly-filled wafers look good!

AgumonI want one of those sweet dessert salads...

YuukoCould I have the shiratama dumplings, mitsumame, shiruko soup, zenzai soup, and tokoroden?

NokiaHuh!? Y-Yuuko! Are you crazy!?

YuukoNo need to worry, I have enough to pay the bill...

NokiaAh, no...that's not what I mean...

Yuuko...By the way, what would you like to eat, Player?

Player...

NokiaThat was delicious!

AgumonWow... I'm stuffed!

GabumonI'm full now.

NokiaHow was that? Did you learn about human eating customs?

GabumonYeah! Thanks, everyone!

NokiaStill, you can seriously pack it away, Yuuko!

YuukoTha-that's not true...

Yuuko...But, thanks to you guys I've been able to learn about gourmet food.

Player?

YuukoI don't like eating out alone when people might be watching me...

NokiaI see... girls are always obsessing over that kind of thing... I don't, but...

YuukoActually, I want to get to know more restaurants... As a matter of fact, I sent a case to your office...

NokiaHuh? You sent a case?

YuukoI rank gourmet restaurants as a hobby, so I asked for a secret food critique...

NokiaOh, that was you!

Nokia...

NokiaHuh? Wait a sec...

Nokia...

NokiaAhhhhh!!!

NokiaHey! Player! What are you stalling for? We need to get to the family restaurant! I think it was somewhere downtown...

YuukoPlayer, the dessert place is calling you! You should go there... You can see it from near the crossing.

NokiaCan't you hear Agumon's stomach rumbling!? Let's get to the pork cutlet place, quick! I think I saw the billboard for it somewhere downtown...
