"Let's go been there many times?" "Yes." "It's fun the one at the end finally passes the others it's thrilling" "it's really exciting let's go" "fine, i'll go you'll find it fascinating" "pachinko is no match but pachinko is nice in short... while in the crowd you can rise above self you can easily be alone you and balls alone you can forget worldly affairs..." "and... adapt yourself to the balls pure solitude that's the charm a happy sense of solitude" "bicycle races are more fun balls riding on bicycles watching the audience is fun already" "fumi!" "When did you come?" "Just now" "you called, sir?" "I'm going out aren't you at a marriage meeting?" "I slipped out pretending to go to the toilet without telling them?"

"Good night" "you came on your own don't say i was with you i know sure?" "No. 16 doesn't work!" "Hot!" "Hot but good" "why did you skip the meeting?" "Because i didn't like it meeting him would have been fun i doubt it he might be a very nice guy forget it really?" "Arranged marriages aren't always bad who says?" "What counts is his personality i don't love him love is an accumulation you'll soon fall for him" "you're so simple what's wrong with being simple?" "I think it's like animals listen, it seems you think too much" "all marriage is the same" "delicious, huh?" "Sure is the soup's good, too" "it should be - cheap but good lot's of good cheap food around i know another shop take me there your aunt will get cross so what?" "More noodles?" "No thanks" "one more!" "Plenty of soup!" "Setsuko came?" "When?" "An hour after your left i took her to the theater but she didn't come" "i wonder what's on her mind" "she shouldn't have done that she was rude to that young man isn't that right?" "Really rude yes, she was because her parents spoil her they should be more strict you scold her, will you?" "All right do so." "I'm serious she embarrassed me so much today she's a problem" "she sure is!" "Uncle you?" "Didn't you go home?" "My mother'd get mad so will your aunt aunty's all right but mother is so nosy did aunty go to bed?" "She's still up" "don't tell her i came setsuko!" "Aunty, good evening look what you did i'm sorry i won't speak to you scold her!" "Bawl her out!" "Sit down, setsuko sit down" "it was wrong of you not to attend the meeting you were rude to the man it was too much he's right you ought to be more thoughtful you're supposed to be an adult but you act childish yes." "Listen well" "everyone's worried about you yet, you're selfish" "why pick on me?" "Didn't i warn you?" "Trying to get a medal?" "Never mind" "i won these." "Give half to non-chan i still have some i'll go again don't flip it too hard do it this way let it go slowly... then... dear!" "You were with setsuko!" "Why did you lie?" "Well, i didn't... didn't that?" "Didn't lie what, then?" "I didn't tell you, that's all you know about the marriage meeting didn't you?" "Yes." "I took her to the theater but she didn't come he really took me there then why didn't you come?" "Where did you go?" "That's all right it's not all right she didn't want to meet him so what?" "It can't be helped what can't be helped?" "If you force her to marry they'll only end up like us really?" "Very well i understand" "don't you mind?" "Can't help it it can't be helped" "when did that happen?" "Ten days ago haven't you talked since?" "How's he doing?" "He wants to talk." "Like the other night:" "I decided to go to bed early he knocked on my door and kept calling me" "i'm amazed you can endure i couldn't last so long i don't want to talk, that's all you're selfish." "You lied to him, too all married couples lie to one another really?" "Not all are like that some never lie if so, they're bored with each other compared with them, you're much better are we?" "Far from it?" "Generally speaking, you ask too much why?" "You'd skip school just because you didn't like your hairdo it's in the past!" "You haven't changed you want everything your way you're totally selfish" "hello is your husband well?" "May we talk?" "Yes?" "5,000 yen i need money" "glad you're getting alone then... excuse me" "hey, wait!" "Give it what?" "The money want it back?" "Just go straight home" "nice, isn't he?" "Not necessarily really?" "Yours is nice, too." "You're selfish i'm not yes, you are." "Whatever you say you love him after all no, i don't you do otherwise you'd have divorced him you don't understand what?" "My feelings i do understand you don't!" "I'll go!" "Why so soon?" "Listen... what?" "Your supper's ready i'm coming" "she's coming, sir give me rice." "I'm hungry" "welcome home." "I'm already eating" "why not eat?" "Dear" "don't eat like that!" "Sorry, i forgot do you always eat like that?" "Doe she?" "Does he eat like that?" "Say yes only when alone didn't i say not to?" "Yes." "Sorry, but i forgot then, please don't i won't." "I just forgot" "she told me off" "does your family do this?" "Yes in saitama?" "In nagano too." "Maybe not in tokyo it's tasty do you do this?" "No, sir" "why not?" "Mrs. Satake hates it is that so?" "Who is it?" "Me" "why not eat?" "I'm not hungry" "where is she?" "Taking a bath will you tell her to come upstairs?" "Fumi!" "You want me?" "Sit down no thanks." "Talk you're in a bad mood i don't think so just sit down no, thank you sorry for a while ago i didn't know you hated it so much eat anyway you like no." "I won't my folks taught me to eat like that is it wrong?" "I'm not saying it's wrong i'll stop i wonder why it's always like this what?" "For example, the cigarettes i smoke you don't want me to smoke rising sun but i like the brand-cheap but good trains too." "You don't like third class but i like it-i can relax it's like rising sun" "i'm comfortable with it it's the way i was raised too bad, i was raised differently i'm talking about me you needn't change don't smoke rising sun everyone has his own way in my case, after all... intimate, primitive and familiar... i like things in that way" "you do?" "I'd ride in first class, too... if it was only faster that's enough i'll stop." "You may not like it but i like things familiar so do i." "So let me do as i please about trains, first class is familiar to me there's something else too enough!" "Listen... passengers, we're arriving at hamamatsu in five minutes, at 12:20 the platform is on the left a five-minute stop we'll arrive at nagoya at 2:04 kyoto at 4:22 osaka at 5:00 pm" "the president wants you" "sir?"

"I'll stay a little longer" "it's time she were back did you wire her?" "Yesterday" "then she had enough time" "her!" "I'm glad you're back." "But you're late what were you doing?"

"I felt like it come home sooner the telegram came when i was out we worried because you didn't come sorry, but i didn't know" "he wired you day before yesterday did you get it?" "Yes but you didn't came" "i didn't know what he was trying to say that's why anyway you should have come home sooner!" "It's too late enough!" "It's over don't you mind at all?" "No are you sure?" "Then i'll leave me, too" "did he say anything?" "Nothing, ma'am" "who is it?" "Mr. Satake is back" "you go to bed now" "you're back?" "The plane had trouble going to uruguay, aren't you?" "Yes."

"How was the trip?" "I won't do it again what?" "Go away without telling you do so." "It's you way no, i won't" "i read the telegram you sent but i didn't understand it maybe it's my fault it was so sudden didn't you know in advance?" "Not much." "I tried to tell you but you were in a bad mood you should have told me" "it was too sudden anyway get up early?" "Sleepy?" "Well... no i'm hungry will you eat something?" "So will i let's go downstairs" "cold?" "No." "We shouldn't wake the maid do you know where things are?" "What things?" "Bowls, chopsticks... i'll find them." "Let's go" "bread?"

"No, i didn't i alone saw him off" "did you cry?" "No you're great." "In my case, i cried but this happened:" "I ate tea on rice that night with him?" "Yes." "After that i cried how unusual!" "You wept loudly?" "I sobbed." "Then i bawled then i apologized he said, "it's enough." But i wanted to talk then he kissed me to hush me i saw his eyes fill with tears i said, "don't cry." then... don't you know how i feel?" "He asked this is the happiest day since we got married i said it was foolish of me to understand only now i wept and apologized" "then i felt so wonderful is it all right?" "About what?" "It's time yes, it is stay longer husbands are complicated women know them only when they're home they only loaf when they're at home they do lots of things when they're out women know only part of them" "how true!"
