"How slow you are!" "You're always late!" "Remove jackets!" "You shouldn't be so disrespectful!" "Stand there!" "IN THE PAST HE WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT," "NOW HE WORKS IN AN INSURANCE AGENCY." "Papa, will you buy a bicycle for me?" "All kids have a bicycle and I also want one!" "Ask your mother if I can buy." "Mother told me that today they give the allowance increment you, so you can give the bicycle." "Will you also buy something for me?" "Who bought you the ball!" "You're spoiled!" "If you act like this, I won't buy anything for you." "Last year the economic crisis was hard," "I don't know if the company will pay the bonus." "Don't worry, ask for only 20 yens per day." "It will be sufficient." "At noon, the director will give the allowance increments." "How is today's situation?" "Good, the fall of the stock-market has not affected our pay." "If you enter now, you will meet somebody else." "It's sad to think that we no longer will be companions." "Next year, when you're promoted, you'll be facing the public." "Everything began the day I advised two people to take out insurance with us." "I made a life insurance contract with them, and on the following day, one of them ran over the other, who died." "You didn't kill him, it's not your fault." "That's not all." "I also advised a friend who signed with us, and died 3 months later in a fire." "The company can't dismiss you for that, they are wrong." "Until now, the company helped me." "I don't have power to oppose the dismissal." "If I were you, I would fight; it's not right what they want to do to you." "I'm content, I've received double what was hoped." "I agree, we must oppose this injustice." "It is an abuse!" "It's not just a problem for Mr. Yamada." "Let's fight together, only then can we work with any tranquillity." "Then you speak with the head, if you are so sure." "Good one, thinking it over well, the company's mistake will cost them money." "What's that face?" "Since you made such a face, why don't you go speak with him?" "If you don't speak, the problem won't be solved." "Coward!" "If a client dies the day after we signed a contract, the company is obliged to pay." "Why have you dismissed Mr. Yamada?" "Kindly be more diplomatic." "Mr. Yamada only advised a client whom then signed." "You're a simple employee, do not interfere in the policy of the company." "You also are a simple employee, your situation is no different!" "You behave like a gangster!" "You're dismissed!" "That's all!" "The company also wants to let go of me." "Now I'm going to buy a bicycle for my son." "Shall we take tea?" "Today my father will buy me a bike, and it will be prettier than yours!" "A bike?" "Skidders are more fun than bikes!" "They're no fun!" "I don't want that!" "If you behave like this, I will not buy anything for you." "And your mother?" "She went to the market to buy something." "You are a liar." "And that face?" "It doesn't frighten me!" "Then throw it in the trash, if you don't want it." "I got upset because he is too egoistic." "I'm upset because papa did not buy me a bike." "Then you were wrong, papa." "You're good boy, don't cry." "How was I wrong?" "You did not have to lie to the boy." "You don't know how much I wanted that bicycle for my son!" "Papa, you are a liar!" "You should speak with the director." "Although I was in the right, it's normal that he dismissed me." "Be content with the skidder." "Who needs a bicycle anyway?" "I didn't think that I would have to work at such a humble job." "But you have a job, that is better than nothing." "Though I received a master's degree now I can't find work in the lowliest job." "It's all my fault." "I feel it." "How lucky are the children, they can cry when they want." "A bear escaped from its cage!" "Although it escaped, our life remains in the same rut." "Miyo got sick from eating bad candy." "The doctor said that if it's disentery, she could die." "Why did you let her eat that candy?" "I made some money by selling old magazines and I bought the candies she wanted so much!" "Money's needed for that." "We will find It, don't worry." "Go call a taxi, quickly." "And you get everything ready." "She's improving, do not worry." "Now I feel calmer, we can return home." "How will we pay the hospital?" "Children recover quickly, all was as before." "We no longer have anything in the closet!" "But Miyo is in a far better condition." "How the world has changed!" "Making do With whatever comes our way!" "We've been in a difficult plight." "Have you also come to look for work?" "I heard you left the university 24 years ago." "After the university, I worked as a professor in the radio." "and 1 or 2 months ago, I opened a western restaurant." "If you're looking for work, why don't you come work for a season with me?" "What?" "To work in a restaurant?" "If you help me with the restaurant, I will help find a job for you." "Thus is the shared fate of a pair well known in the Ministry of Education." "If you offered me this out of pity for my poverty, I would be offended." "However, being an old student of yours, I accept." "I did not want to seem disagreeable, but when one becomes poor, a man also becomes sensitive." "I met Mr. Ryojima at the employment office." "He will help us with the restaurant." "Please, see that Mr. Ryojima is comfortable here." "Were you ever a waiter?" "My wife and I worked in our own restaurant." "Perhaps if there were a pretty girl, the restaurant would go better." "In the university you also spoke constantly of girls." "I have had many problems as a widower." "We have time to make a banner for publicity." "Or we could organize a meeting of ex-students who can do publicity for us." "We can do both things." "Papa!" "That wasn't your father." "Papa does not do such kind of work." "I cannot walk very well, could you take my placard?" "With two placards, I will not be able to walk well." "You wouldn't be so weak, if while a student you had done more gymnastics." "HIS WIFE DID NOT WANT HIM TO WORK IN SOMETHING SO HUMBLE, CONSIDERED A SHAME." "This one is my medicine I can't give it to you." "You also went somewhere?" "I went to see the father of an old friend of mine to request a job for you." "And how is everything?" "I saw a terrible thing." "I saw you." "Never have I asked you to do something like this." "Although we're in difficulties,you don't need to do something so degrading." "That gentleman is an ex-professor of mine." "Perhaps he can find me a job." "So far I only help him." "You really can trust him?" "When one is in difficulties, one will trust anyone." "I'm slowly losing the force and the vigor of my youth." "From this morning I will also help your professor." "45 DAYS LATER" "Professor, we are all prepared." "Do you want to come?" "EVERYTHING IS READY" "I am very contented to see everyone reunited here." "For me it is something indespensible." "I am happy that you have prevailed in life and that you have become fortunate." "Today we will celebrate." "A party like in our youth." "I hope you have a prosperous future." "Today's special:" "CURRY RICE. 15 CENTS" "It's a pity on a day like this if you must pay." "For us the times ahead are very difficult." "You are in luck, there's a job for you." "English Teacher in a girl's school." "How is your English?" "Therefore you will no longer be anxious." "The school is in the city of Tochigi." "Shall we go?" "Don't be sad, someday we shall return to Tokyo." "You have not rid yourself of the vice of arriving late?" "Let us sing the hymn of the school." "Three springs pass so quickly." "Your face is still as vibrant as a scarlet flower." "Now we take leave of each other, in a future we'll meet again."
