"Good morning." "Good morning." "Excuse me." "What is it?" "Is Mr. Tomioka here?" "Yes." "Just a minute, please." "Who are you?" "I am from the Forest Ministry." "I have brought a message." "A message?" "I see." "How are you?" "Compared to Indochina, it is cold, right?" "You received my telegram?" "Why did you not answer me?" "I thought that you would come." "You have left your job?" "I Ieft it as soon as I returned." "Why?" "To be more independent." "What do you do now?" "I am in the firewood business." "Was the old lady your mother?" "She looked like you." "Where are you living?" "My brother-in-Iaw's house." "He has left to live in a village." "Though his things are still there." "I borrowed his scarf." "I don't have any winter clothes." "Wait here." "I will get dressed." " hello." " How is everything?" "Miss Koda, come here!" "A long trip from Japan." "You must be tired." "Did you meet in the Saigon hotel?" "This is the typist." "You have not met?" "This is Tomioka." "Of the Forest Ministry." "They have transferred him from Borneo." "I am Yukiko." "How is Japan?" "I have heard it gets worse all the time." "DaIat is a paradise." "Our mission is not to fight." "It is the management of the forests." "I must go to the quinine garden." "Look at these papers." "He doesn't say much." "No, but he is very pleasant." "He writes to his woman every three days." "He sends her lipstick." "He is very responsible." "Things have changed;" "more than I had hoped." "What do you expect?" "We lost the war." "I am repatriated destitute." "Just as many others." "Men have all the luck." "And the women, fewer preoccupations." "You come from Chiba?" "No, I'm not." "Yes?" "I see!" "I was sure you were." "Then, from where?" "Tokyo." "Tokyo?" "I don't believe it." "You don't have a Tokyo accent." "You are more like..." "A country girl?" "He always uses this sour language." "Don't take him seriously." "Then you are of Tokyo." "By your accent, I would not have guessed." "How old are you?" "I won't tell you." " Twenty-four?" " No." "I'm 22." "Are you trying to insult me?" "really?" "You are twenty-two?" "I simply meant that you look older than your age." "Don't take it badly like many women." "She has come from Japan." "Let us drink to her." "You have annoyed her." "I am only playing." "I wonder why she has come here." "You like her, though." "Don't be stupid!" "She's not my type." "I know very well you Iike feminine company." "I continue to study tropical trees." "It is an escape." "tell me what I'm supposed to do today." "Ask the boss." " He has gone away without saying anything." " And Kano?" "He's in his room." "tell me what to do." "You could come with me and visit the tomb of king Anamita." "Are you upset?" "Why?" "Because of what I said last night." "I hope I didn't offend you." "Tired?" "I Iike to walk by the forest." "It helps me to sleep." "Last night I could not..." "You couldn't sleep?" "I was afraid of Mr. Kano." "Why?" "Did he say something to you?" "He was drunk and he came to my room." "It's not serious." "I remember many things about when we went to Chenbou." "The boss and the major were there." "And also you." "Just before leaving, you told me I want to stay with you." "We spent the night in a hotel." "Under the one light, an oil lamp." "We had supper, we drank a little and lied down." "We drank till we had had enough." "Your room was at the end of the corridor." "After midnight," "I went to your room." "The door was not closed." "That was our first night together." "Now I'm here, and I don't know what to do." "Please!" "Decide what you want from me!" "You must forget the past." "For us, the past is our only reality." "Without it, where would we be now?" "I would have preferred not to have seen your wife." "I got the feeling of being a beggar or wretch." "Why has she got a gold tooth?" "Her smile gave me the creeps." " She is older than you, isn't she?" " So what?" "With this you might be able to find a job." "I don't want it." "Don't worry about me." "I will manage." "But you have not returned to live together" "I do not want to cause more damage." "It was as a dream that we shared." "Even if it hurts you, everything is different now." "My wife has suffered enough already because of me." "She maintained my house during the war." "I cannot leave her now." "Try to understand it." "No, I can't!" "You talk about your conscience, but I mean so little to you." "That's not being fair." "I am tired now, but you must think about the future." "If your wife matters so much, why were you unfaithful?" "I don't have anything against her." "But you said that you would divorce and you would marry me when you returned." "Why you did not tell her everything?" "You said that you would do anything for me." "Now, you only want to get rid of me!" "You lied to me!" "Why are you crying?" "Ever since you returned, you have changed." "Try to understand me." "There are problems with the clients." "I must sell the house in order to pay debts." "The price of the firewood has suddenly fallen." "Is that why you are never here?" "You have something to say?" "You get upset very easily." "Because you don't trust me." "Maybe you want to get rid of me." "You will feel much more secure when we are rich" "Then I will be home more." "If you don't believe me, come with me." "english is essential." "We do a Iot of businesses with the Americans." "Try elsewhere." "What is this?" "I hope there is no problem." "She said her sister was married to your brother." "Is that right?" "Yukiko!" "When did you arrive in Tokyo?" "Why are you not staying in the Shizuoka house?" "I took your scarf." "Now you are living at my expense." "Who told you?" "A neighbor." "told me you took my bed." "I have seen what has gone." "Why you did it?" "It thought that you would understand why." "I used some money to buy this coat." "Where are you living?" "In a shop." "But there is nothing to sell." "I came to Tokyo to marry." "Who is he?" "What does he do?" "I worked with him in DaIat, Indochina." "How old is he?" "He is younger than you." "But I have left him." "Why?" "He is married." "He deceived to you." "Things are not the same after the war." "You have work?" "No, I'm looking for it." "I Ieft the bank and I went to the countryside." "Now that the war is over, I wanted to come back." "Know what I am thinking?" "I will borrow money." "It is more comfortable than a shop." "Why not rely on me?" "I have been worried about you ever since you went to Indochina." "What nonsense!" "I went to Indochina to forget." "violated by my brother in law" "You want to forget." "I hate you, so I sold your things." "I have more right to be offended than you." "You have learned much in Indochina." "Hostess wanted." "How are you?" "What do you make here?" "Where are you going?" "Are you single?" "It's you." "Come in." "You are doing well." "Is that what you think?" "Anyway, it is my palace." "I have just returned." "Yes?" "You received my letter?" "That is why I am here." "comfortable here." "You seem happy." "really?" "At least, I am not starving." "I envy you." "Why?" "With my Iife what is there to envy?" "I feel it anyway." "When you are unhappy, you envy others." "Are you unhappy?" "How do you think I feel?" "You always only think of yourself." "How's the business?" "Not good." "I will have to sell my house." "What are your family going to do?" "They will go away to the countryside." "If I lose this battle, I will lose everything." "Then lose." "You seem to want something from me." "Anyway I am glad to see you are doing well." "I am doing well?" "Perhaps it's not necessary, but that will help you." "I want to help anyway." "It's too much late." "We had to meet in DaIat." "Yukiko, are you in?" "shall we go somewhere?" "I have bought you sake." "He got upset?" "No." "I told him not to get upset." "Where did you meet him?" "Why the questions?" "He was single, as you were before meeting me in Indochina." "Joe is pleasant." "He even taught me a poem called "Don't forget me"." ""beloved, this flower has blossomed." "Despite ageing." "It keeps a so pretty color." "That reminds me of the joy we lived together." "And that memory I take in my heart."" "He is going home in two months." "Then, someone else will replace him." "That is typical of you." "I would Iike to see you when you are desperate." "Let's drink." "Can I stay here tonight?" "Is that why you came?" "Liar!" "You will suddenly need to leave afterwards." "I know it." "I know you too well." "You think you can have me when you want." "You are completely mistaken." "What have you done for me?" "Nothing!" "You only think of yourself." "You are a parasite." "You make me sick." "You don't respect me." "You are a strong woman." "I admire you." "You cannot do anything for me." "If you cannot live with me, leave my Iife and let me get on with it." "Very well." "But, can't I come round occasionally?" "No, I don't want you to." "Perhaps I would be bad for your business?" "You said it right." "Wait here." "I didn't expect to see you so early." "I suppose so." "I would rather not have to come." "I have come for my mattresses." "I also seem to be missing some silk kimonos." "What is that?" "How pretty!" "I would be satisfied with this." "That is not mine." "First you humiliated me and now you want your things." "You have more covers than you need." "You are doing well." "Can you get me some American goods, cigarettes, magazines... these things?" "If you can, you can keep the mattresses." "Perhaps I can patent the design in Japan." "You know somebody that wants cheap potatoes?" "Take them and get out!" "There is no hurry." "Wait, take all." "We march united." "The workers will govern the Earth." "I'm glad you called me." "What did you want?" "I wanted to make peace." "You seem tired." "I am preoccupied with many things." "Can't you say something happy?" "I speak with sadness, but seeing you makes me happy." "I feel the same way." "Appearances are misleading." "Because I am not at all happy." "Where shall we go?" "What about Shibuya?" "It doesn't mean anything, right?" "Perhaps." "would you Iike to travel with me?" "Tomioka." "I wish you good luck." "This reminds me of Dalat." "That is everything that I want." "Visit me once in a while and I will be happy." "Let me know in advance." "What you are thinking about?" "You are at your wits end, right?" "You are right." "I am at my wits end." "tell me, how you would Iike to die?" "Let's see, what about with cyanide?" "And if you did not have cyanide?" "When one wants to commit suicide, one commits suicide." "It doesn't matter how." "I thought about dying with you in the mountains." "That is exactly what I thought the other day." "You have brought me here to die?" "Lighten up a little." "Let's stay here for New Year." "If you need money, you can pawn my coat." "We'll leave tomorrow." "Then, we will not die in the mountains together?" "You are not pretty enough to die with." "What things you say." "In that case let's leave." "Once, we visited a Japanese cemetery near Tourane." "What was that town called?" "Was it Ho?" "Yes, Ho!" "What a pretty town!" "It bores to me to speak of the past." "Remembering all that will not make us revive the passion that we shared then." "Once I also loved my wife." "But not now." "I have lost everything, even my soul." "Don't worry about me." "I would manage okay, being single." "We'll leave today." "How much do you want for this?" "I don't want to sell it, but I spent too much here." "I see." "What about the watch?" "It's a very pretty watch." "I bought it in the south." "I was in the navy stationed in Borneo." "I was in Indochina." "I was lucky." "I survived." "I have been looking for a watch like this for a Iong time." "It works well." "A watchmaker would give you less than 5,000 yens." "It is a good status symbol." "You know somebody?" "I will buy it for 10,000 yens." "I Iike the watch." "What do you say?" " It's a deal." " Very well." "Market closed." "O-Sei!" "Bring us a bottle of sake." "Are you a painter?" "No." "The wood business." "Here's my card." "Ah, you were a civil employee." "I had a job at the fish market in Tokyo." "But my new wife does not Iike the fish." "We're going to have a drink." "The truth is that she could be my daughter." "To find her was destiny." "I believe that one must respect destiny." "We can't go in his against." "What time is it?" "We are going to close." "You can go home." "I have been told I have two or three days more." "That's good news." "Then..." "It has been destiny, to come here and sell the watch." "clearly." "Lady!" "I have brought apples, mandarins, cakes, let's see peanuts." "What would you Iike?" "Please." "We must, it is New Year!" "It is destiny." "We also want to return to Tokyo soon." "We cannot go against destiny." "You tried the durian?" "And mangoes?" "A glass, please." " Please." " Thanks!" "I want to have a bath." "I will show you the way." "Very well." "And you?" "No, thanks." "I bathed twice today." "It is sufficient." "Here." "The towel?" "Mind the step." "We used the bath from a tavern." " Good evening." " Good evening." "How long have you been here?" "nearly Two years." "But I want to leave." "I want to live in Tokyo." "Business is bad?" "Dying." "This is a summer town." "He wants to sell fish in Tokyo again." "I don't like the idea at all." "I want to be dancer." "That geisha that we knew is teaching me to dance." " But Papa doesn't like it." " Papa?" "My husband." "Are you going for a bath?" "hold on, I will go with you." " You are going to the baths?" " Yes." "I will come with you." "I will stay here then." "Did you notice she is enamored with you?" "I didn't notice." "You always pretend not to notice." "I did nothing." "The truth is you never miss an opportunity." "When a woman looks at you, you lose your sense." "Don't say stupid things!" "But you Iike her, right?" " No, I do not Iike her." " Don't deny it." "You are a good seducer." "Despite what you say." "shall we stay here for a little longer?" "Not a bad idea." "I wonder what brought you back to life." "I don't know what it is." "In addition, you have new underpants." "Where they are the old ones?" "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "You are always suspicious." "Of what?" "Let's go for a walk." "No, it's too cold." "I am nervous." "I feel so empty, bored." "You don't want me." "Perhaps, I should go away." "What do you mean?" "We will go away together." "I know you too well." "Let's forget it." "It doesn't matter." " Goodbye." " So long!" "Happy New Year!" "Is there no more sake?" "You are still depressed." "Of what?" "This here is my one true love." "You are a monster." "You only love yourself." "For this reason, I want to live." "You need to be worth something." "I have no value." "You are impossible." "But people still like you." "But you are a fake, and a cowardly one." "actually, you are a simple drunkard." "Have you finished?" "Any more to add?" "You're a very intelligent man." "But you don't have any idea how to run a business." "But still I have a future." "Who says that I will not end up being a millionaire?" "At least, we're still alive." "Let's drink to that!" "That woman, O-sei, was crying when we left." "Didn't you see it?" "You chose not to see it." "If you don't want me, I will leave." "Is that what you want?" "Yes." "I don't like your attitude." "I am not going to listen to your sermons." "You seem to think we are married." "I think I should go my way." "And you should go yours, what do you think?" "I am dying." "Yesterday I was ill in bed all day;" "I didn't see anybody." "Perhaps she was ill." "You do not know where is?" "No." "Another girl came to see her." "Was her name O-Sei?" "Where could she be, if she's not here?" "Anyway, they are demolishing this hut soon." "I have the man's calling card, and I went to his house." "But they have left for the countryside." "Residence of K. Ohta." "Do you know when they left?" "Last month." "They redirected their mail to the countryside." "Do you have that postcard with their address?" "Bring it here." "Excuse me, where does Takase live?" "At the end of the corridor." " Thanks." " No problem." "What are you doing here?" "I Iive here." "And Tomioka?" "He is not here." "Then I will wait for him to return." "If you want to, but Tomioka lives with his wife." "He will not return." "His wife is often ill." "Yes, I know." "We are both in the same predicament." "I will wait here until he returns, I have the time to spare." "How long have you been with him?" "I Iive here on my own." "He does not have anywhere else to stay when in Tokyo." "When he comes, I stay at a friend's house." "He doesn't have anywhere else..." "So he comes here?" "And what about your husband in Ikao?" "I Ieft him." "Everything becomes clear, doesn't it?" "Does a man live here?" "He comes here every day?" "At what time?" "I don't know." "When did you arrive?" "I have seen O-Sei." "Wait, I will explain it." "I was worried about you." " That's of no importance." " Have you found a job?" "I thought about making waxy shoes, but I feel too weak to work in the cold." "Are you ill?" "I will find a good job for you." "really?" "You still hate me?" "The day we returned from Ikao..." "You wanted to break up." "I know it." "I didn't have a chance." "You didn't even give me your address." "I hate you but I still came here." "I was desperate, without work, with my wife ill." "And I met O-Sei." "She insisted that I came here." "I tried to resist, but..." "It does not excuse anything." "I am pregnant." "That is why I am here." "Baby?" "Promise me you won't do anything silly." "I will give you what you want." "Because I want to have this baby." "Perhaps our baby will change our luck." "Living with someone else's wife..." "Avoiding the glances of people in the apartment." "O-Sei works me insane." "I cannot meet her husband again." "The guilt tortures me." "surely you will be happy with her." "It's your reality." "I am only a memory." "And memories disappear fast... they are forgotten." "That's the way things are." "But I still remember our days in Indochina." "I realize how much I have lost since then." "What's your wife illness, a cough?" "Yes, things are very bad." "At least, you have work." "It is not a good job, really." "There is little to do;" "I feel useless." "Tired?" "No, it is my bad foot." "We're a right pair walking together." "It doesn't matter to me." "What about you?" "We will meet this coming Sunday." "Do not do anything hasty." "Before then I will finish with O-Sei, believe me." "Don't speak to me like I am a naive young girl." "I will cope with it." "Church of the believers in the Sun God." "A visitor, reverend teacher." "Remember," "God always helps those that believe in him, whether they are good or bad." "Breathe." "The air is full of ether!" "The Sun sends the ether which traverses my body." "Oh, powerful Sun." "Bestow mercy on your subjects." "You feel great alleviation?" "Yes, teacher." "I feel like a new man." "In that case, come back for treatment regularly." "We do not promise instant cures like certain charIatans." "Those that seek healing, must show patience." "please, accept my donation." "It's a profitable business!" "The world is full of suckers." "tell them what they want to hear and they shower you with money." "We sell them the unobtainable." "Who began this?" "A friend of mine." "He's an ex-miIitary man." "The idea was his, and I am his partner." "It is as easy as commanding recruits." "May I have one?" "You smoke?" "You look unwell." "You got my letter?" "Perhaps your "treatment" is what I need." "It costs ten thousand yen." "He has left you?" "I was stupid trusting him." "I will take care of you." "After all, we are not strangers." "I will even buy a house for you." "You seem downcast." "If I couId take life that easily." "Then, my Iife would be so much better." "I feel so cold." "Do I have anything?" "You should go home and rest." "JEALOUS HUSBAND KILLS CHAMBERMAID." "HE WAS ARRESTED AT THE SCENE." "TOMIOKA, THE LOVER, IS AN EX-OFFICIAL." "When I worked in the Forest Ministry," "I spent four years in French Indochina." "WIFE CRITICAL." "SEND MONEY URGENTLY." "Are you well?" "And you?" "You should be in bed." "I can't stay in bed," "I feel better now." " You got the money?" " Yes, yesterday." "I wanted to send more, but I'm now out of work." "When I received your letter," "I felt badly." "I read it in the newspaper." "It mentioned me, right?" "Leave me alone, please." "You still liked O-Sei." "I did the right thing." "You said that you wanted a child, but I knew that was a lie." "You must be relieved, right?" "Now you can go on without commitment and no responsibility to me!" "You killed O-Sei!" "I suffered pain." "But you did nothing for me." "I was on the verge of dying." "But It means little to you if I die or not." "In Ikao, you wanted to die with me." "If we had agreed, you would have fled." "I am guilty." "It is my fault." "But if you know me so well, why have you not left me already?" "Why did we not put an end to this?" "You say that because you always liked O-Sei." "You are still thinking about her." "Do not shout." "people will hear." "I have already forgotten her, she died." "No!" "She is alive!" "She still lives in you." "If not, you would not be in this state." "I feel it because of her husband." "That is all." "I am even trying to find him a good lawyer." "You don't understand." "If I couId speak with O-Sei," "I would tell her that you are mine forever." " Come and help me." " Alright." "Are you leaving already?" "I feel it." "They have sent me here to deliver the invoice." "It doesn't include the invoice from yesterday." "What is going on?" "Who was that?" "Is this the house of Mr. Iba?" "Yes." "Can I speak to Koda Yukiko?" "A little while, please." "You have a visitor, miss Yukiko." "What a surprise!" "Come in." "What happened to your eye?" "An infection." "Make yourself comfortable." "You have changed." "How have I changed?" "You seem younger." "Free and carefree?" "Where's Mr. Iba?" "He had business in town." "You are single?" "I have one job during the day." "I'm the treasurer of the Congregation." "It bores me." "Kuniko died yesterday." "Your wife?" "Died?" "Of tuberculosis." "If I had had money, she might have been saved." "I'm sorry." "And the funeral?" "I need money for that." "You could lend me some?" "How much?" "20,000 yens will be enough." "I am ashamed to ask." "20,000?" " There." " Thanks." "Won't you stay to eat?" "I must go soon." "I must see the undertaker." "Wait for me, I am going out shortly." "Now that you are single, what is your plan?" "I don't know." "I am ruined." "I don't know when I will be able to repay you." "That doesn't bother me." "Are you still living in that apartment?" "Yes." "I'd Iike to come visit you." "But, first I must find a job." "I have asked my friends." "But it is difficult, I'm too old." "That's ridiculous." "You have walked me far enough." " Then, goodbye." " Goodbye." "What are you doing here?" "The funeral is over?" "A woman told me it was." "Which woman?" "She was beautiful and well dressed." "What did she say?" "She asked me what is my relationship with you." "I only smiled at her." "You should be less trivial." "Then she began to laugh and I lay down on the bed." "You are a very bad girl." "I am jealous." "Your boss will get upset with you." "I have come to receive the invoice." "What else did she say?" "She was cross." "She looked around the room." "And she asked me if I lived here." "I said yes to her." "I don't think she will return." "You are incorrigible." "Then, why do you kiss me when you are drunk?" "Handa, I am busy." "please, leave." "welcome." "Madame, the bath is ready." "I want to send a telegram." "Is it urgent?" "Yes." "Excuse me, madame." "You have a visitor." "What did you mean "come or I will die"?" "When did you arrive?" "Last night." "Surprised?" "My neighbors were." "How many did you sent?" "I just sent another one." "I have missed you." "I want you to know," "I have left Iba." "What do you want to do now?" "He no Ionger supports me." "actually ,I have committed a crime." "What did you do?" "I have stolen 300,000 yen from the congregation." "Have they denounced you?" "I don't think so, They will not go to the police." "They cannot risk that the truth is known." "They have done worse things." "I am surprised." "The house is worth over ten times 300.000." "If they denounce me, they have much to lose." "You are safe." "Does that change your opinion of me?" "Many things have changed since Ikao, haven't they?" "Perhaps, too many." "I don't think so." "I thought that you enjoyed your life." "I am talking about O-Sei, the dead girl." "You can't forget her, can you?" "I know that." "You called me to talk about her?" "I will go away tomorrow." "You are an egoist." "Why?" "We cannot continue living like this." "Without direction." "Living with the money that you have stolen." "You think we should separate?" "We should have died in Ikao." "We can die at any time." "You may want to die?" "I don't." "You don't care about me?" "Did you get upset because I lived with Iba?" "I did not get upset." "It doesn't matter to me." "Very well then, I will die alone." "I have changed my mind." "I am glad of that." "I will live." "On my own." "You can continue to play with the hearts of girls." "You remind me of a story I read in Hanoi." "About a poor man that deceived the girls into helping him to become successful." "unlike him, you deceive them for nothing." "Why don't you deceive other men?" "I want you, but we cannot live like this." "You could make up with Iba." "Or to find a job somewhere else." "Our relationship died when the war finished." "We are too old to live dreams." "I didn't tell you." "I have a job." "I leave within the week." "Where to?" "To an island called Yaku, south of Kyushu." "Yaku?" "That is a long way, isn't it?" "I will be a forest guard." "I will return in about five years." "Or perhaps I won't return." "What time are you going?" "The train is at 11." "Do you have to go?" "What will you do?" "Where can I go?" "I do not have anywhere." "Anyway I must go." "Take me with you." "Don't leave me here." "I must do it." "You are going away to a distant island with that girl." "I saw her in your apartment." "You are confused." "You have a relationship with her, don't you?" "If she is not your girl, let me come with you." "Go back to Iba." "It's the best thing you can do." "If I couId go back to him," "I would not have left him." "Don't you understand it?" "I Ieft him because I cannot live without you." "You have let me down." "You always wanted O-Sei." "I am sure of it." "Take all the money." "Do whatever you want with it." "I don't want anything anymore." "The train leaves within one hour." "Why you do not go back to work?" "I can ask a favor of somebody." "Make a fresh start." "Someday you will find the right man." "Excuse me." "Mr. Iba was here." "He left his card." "He said that it was very important and that he will come by again." "Thanks." "I must see you soon." "please, call me." "The director of the floral review, please." "This is Tomioka." "I wanted to thank you for using my article." "I am leaving shortly for Yaku." "Something sudden, but I must go." "Iba was here." "When?" "How did he find us?" "He probably saw my name in the magazine article." "I must leave soon." "Take me with you." "Just for a month or two." "Then I will leave the island." "please." "only a month or two." "After that I will not bother you again." "Excuse me." "What time does the boat leave?" "The boat can't leave till the storm has finished." " Let me know, please." " Yes." "We have come a Iong way, and still have a day of more traveling." "We'll stay there for years." "I couldn't have done it on my own." "Do you want to go back?" "Of course not." "You know, life will be difficult there." "But I would have you." "I cannot live without you." "That is my problem." "It is your fault entirely." "It'll be better for you with me on that island." "If I can't live with you, I will wait for you my whole life." "That is a woman." "I will stick to you until you throw me." "After that, who knows?" "could I give you up?" "The boat will not leave for at Ieast two days." " Two days?" " Yes." "Did you tell the magazine you were going to Yaku?" "Yes." "Think that they will come for you?" "I don't think so." "Maybe they will denounce us." "Madame, do you want to bathe?" "Yes, you are my madame." "What's the matter?" "I'm cold." "Perhaps you have caught flu." "I am shaking." "But you do not have a fever." "Go to bed." "Then, you will leave me here." "Good morning." "Is your wife any better?" "Thanks." "The boat leaves at ten." "Good." "How are you?" "You look better." "I will take the next boat." "Don't worry." "Rest well and get yourself better." "You are not going away without me?" "Don't be an idiot." "How could I leave without you?" "Now we could be on the high seas." "How it was the sea?" "Good." "Will we go tomorrow?" "We don't have a doctor in Yaku." "And they say that it rains almost every day." "What a place!" "I'm worried." "The voyage is hard." "If I can not make the trip," "You will have to leave me behind." "I don't want to be a burden." "You will be better off here." "You will be well taken care of and I will return for you." "When you are back on your feet." "Your wife should not travel, and we need to take an X-ray." "I will come if it's necessary." "Thank you, doctor." "Well, then do what you have to." "Make sure she rests well." "Thank you very much." "An injection every four hours." "Get well soon." " Thank you very much." " It was nothing." "It's ready." "Thanks." "It rains almost every day." "Sometimes it rains a whole month." "A whole month of rains!" "You will get used to it." "This woman will be in charge of the tasks of the house." "Thank you very much." "You want syrup for the cough?" "Another injection?" "To ease your pain." "At least, you will be here when I die." "You will not die." "Don't talk rubbish." "I got what I wanted didn't I?" "When you get better, return to Tokyo." "There's nothing for you to do here." "This it is not a good place for you." "I must stay for weeks in these mountains." " Your food." " Thanks." "It's a beautiful day." "It is rare to have this weather." "Everything appears merry and radiant." "How do you feel?" "Much better." "It has stopped raining." "I have to go now." "Look after yourself, get well." "I cannot come with you?" "Don't be silly." "You are glad to be leaving me." "Yes." "There are women everywhere!" "You are right." "It doesn't matter to you, a woman is a woman." "You are very talkative." "You must be getting better." "It's good." "There are women everywhere." "That's a mean thing to say." "If you do not Iike it, recover quickly, and conquer all the men with your charms." "You are incorrigible." "I knew that you had a sharpened tongue." "only certain women will put up with it." "only certain women?" "I don't know who you mean." "Excuse me." "You must inform the doctor of her condition, every day." "The doctor of Kagoshima?" "It will stop sometimes?" "Mr. Tomioka!" "Your wife!" "Yukiko!" "When did she get so bad?" "I do not know." "There was nobody here?" "Thanks." "please, leave us alone." "My sympathy is with you." "Yukiko!" "The life of the flower is very short." "That's why it should be appreciated immediately." "Translation by unknown." "Checks and timing by Dan."
