"See?" " Me too." "See?" "You're not any good." "What's the matter?" "Come on." "Come on." "Mrs. Okubo." "Please come in." " Here you are." " Thank you." "That's nice spinach." "It's so expensive now." "Twenty yen." "Can hardly even eat spinach now." "Listen." "I just heard an odd thing." "Our women's association dues for last month haven't been turned in." "But we paid." "I ran into the chairwoman at the market." "She says our group hasn't paid." "But I paid." "So did I." "Then it's strange." "It is strange." "It couldn't be " " What?" "She's bought a washing machine." "Yes, but on the installment plan." "But isn't it strange about our dues?" "Mrs. Okubo." " She's here." " Yes." "I'm leaving the women's bulletin board." "Thank you." "So you're back?" "You're early, aren't you?" "What is it?" "I'm home." "Where are you going?" "Not next door!" "No, I'm studying." "He's crazy about television." " Must be the sumo tournament." " Yes." "Listen." "What happened the other day?" "It's very strange." "Why?" "Ko, I'll go over first." "Please, Mother, get me another pair of underwear." "What's the matter?" "Loose tummy?" "Why are you soiling your underwear?" "It happens every day." "I didn't buy a washer just for your underwear." "Mother, please give me a clean pair of underwear." "Watching wrestling's all right, but they never learn anything good over there." "Figures." "That couple walks around in their nightclothes all day long." "We don't associate with them." "She used to work in a cabaret, so..." "So, she's that kind?" "Excuse me." " How much is the sauce?" "Never mind." "I owe you money too." "Later." "So..." "Hello." "Come in." "Come on." "Minoru isn't here?" "No." "Wakanohana's good today." "Who do you think will win?" "It's obvious." "Isn't it?" "Sure." "He's got a great over-arm throw." "I see." "Want some?" "Time to go." "Isn't your friend from next door coming?" "Let's call him." "Minoru!" "Minoru!" "Come on." "What's the matter?" "Hurry." "I'm off." "I'm off!" "Where are you going?" "To study English." " Isamu too?" " Yes." "Not TV again?" "Don't go next door." "Foolishness." "Mrs. Hayashi." "A moment." "This is an odd question, but " "Did you hand over our dues to our group head?" "Yes, about ten days ago." "I see." "I thought so." "But the association chairwoman said she hasn't received them." "How can that be?" "Mrs. Haraguchi bought a washing machine." "But she wouldn't." "No, but Mrs. Okubo says she handed them to you." "Yes, she did." "Shall I ask our group head?" "But if she's..." "I handed them to her." "Of course." "You never make mistakes." "What happened then?" "It's distressing." "Excuse me." "Kozo, you're here again?" "Why don't you listen?" "Good day." "I'm sorry my son's always bothering you." "What about your English lesson?" "Minoru too?" "Your mother will scold you, Zen." "It must be such a nuisance for you." "We don't mind one bit." "Hurry." "Come home." "All of you." "I'm not leaving." "I'm done studying." "What?" "I'll tell your mother." "Come!" "Excuse me." " Good-bye." " Good-bye." "Tell your teacher hello from big sister." "You're his big sister?" "Yeah, that's me." "Good-bye." "What took you so long?" "What about your English lesson?" "Excuse me." "Yes?" "Who is it?" "I heard from Mrs. Tomizawa." "I handed over the dues to our group head long ago." "But all this confusion makes me feel like I'm responsible." "I really..." "Don't worry about it, Mrs. Hayashi." "We know it's not you." "You didn't have to come just for that." "But I " "It's because Mrs. Tomizawa mentioned the washing machine." "So I " "That doesn't concern me." "Of course not." "Not at all." "But why hasn't the chairwoman received the dues?" "It's so unpleasant for you, isn't it?" "I'll ask Mrs. Haraguchi." "I feel responsible." "Oh, I wouldn't do that." "It would be hard on her." "But I " "Don't worry." "We all trust you." "Time will tell who's to blame." "Don't you worry." "It's a whodunit, like that movie." "Remember?" "But I..." "Don't you worry." "What are you doing?" "Did you finish the translation?" "I'm working on it now." "Are you done?" "Read it aloud." "Translate it." "My sister is three years old and younger than me." "No, that's a bit different." "Ko?" "Translate it." "Go ahead, translate it." " Sorry." "It's become a habit." " What?" "We all do it now." "Press here again." "Silly boy." " Are you all right?" " Sure." "What is it?" "Potatoes alone won't do." "You need pumice powder." " That's nonsense." "Who said so?" " Zen's father." "It's not true." "He was teasing you." "No, it's true." "Isn't it?" "He's good at it." "You called me?" " No." " All right." "I'm back." "I'm back!" "Minoru." "Why don't you listen to me?" "You were next door again." "What's wrong with it?" "We're only watching TV." "I told you no." " Buy us a TV then." " Nonsense." "Buy us a TV." "No." "Eat your supper." "Dried fish and miso soup again?" "Don't complain." "You too, Isamu?" "Not me." "You're back?" "I'm home." " You came back together?" " From the train station." " You're back." " We're having dried fish again." "You said you wouldn't complain." "I'm home." " The pork soup's good." " Is it?" "Good." "No, not every night." "Aunt." "What?" "My teacher said you'll have to wait for the translation until tomorrow." "I see." "How was the sumo?" "How should I know?" "We don't have a television set." "Mom, buy us a TV set." "No." "What about the radio?" " It has to be a TV." " You can't see anything on a radio." "Mom, buy us a TV set." "Buy us a TV set." "No, no." "I said no." "Would you like a bath?" "You filled the tub?" "Who spilled the toothpaste?" " Not me." " Not me." "Who then?" "Why bother?" "I don't know." "I don't know." " Good morning, sir." " Good morning, sir." "Good morning." "Don't dawdle on the way." "Hey." "You ready?" "No good." "Good." "Press me." "Let me." "How about that!" "You've gotten good." "Do you eat sweet potatoes?" "No." "Did you call me?" "No." "What is it?" "I'm going to Kameido." "Do you want some sweets?" "Yes, buy some." "It's a fine day." "Yes?" "Good morning." "Good morning." "You're early." " Are you done with the translation?" " I'm working on it." "I have to look up every technical term." "My office would like it today." "What about the rest?" " Let me see." "Will you take this much then?" "I'll finish the rest today." " If you would, please." "Sis." "Setsuko." "Welcome." "I thought it was you." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Off to work already?" "I'm sorry to bother your brother." "No, the extra work is good." "My company folded." "I'm out of a job, so I'll do anything." "I'll take this." "Thanks." "Setsuko." "There's talk about holding the class reunion at Chinzanso." "Tell your sister." " Yes, I will." "Well..." " Have a good day." " Good-bye." "Good-bye." "Setsuko's nice." "Wouldn't it be nice if she married you?" "Are you joking?" "I'm out of a job now." "That's no problem." "You'll find a job." "What about you?" "How's your job?" "I may sell another Austin today." "I see." "That's great." "It's an insult." "Excuse me." "Anyone here?" "Excuse me!" " Yes." "Mrs. Haraguchi." "Why come through here?" "Come in through the front." "Never mind." "A word." "What is it?" "Please come in." "It's a mess, but please." "Excuse me then." "Please." "You know we bought a washing machine." "Yes, I heard." "I want one, too, but I can't afford it yet." "If you want, you can buy one." "It's your own money." "Don't pay any attention to what other people say." "We're not rich like you, but a person can buy a washing machine without causing anybody else trouble." "Mother's making money too." "We don't have to steal the dues." "It's an insult." "Who said such a thing?" "Don't pretend you don't know." "Ask yourself." " What?" " I'm scrupulous by nature." "I'd never steal anything." "This hateful gossip" " I'm going to quit." "I've had enough." "I'll quit being group head." "You all take me for a fool." "I'm afraid I don't understand." "The dues." "You're the treasurer." "What about it?" "You said you gave me the dues." "You make it sound like I stole them." "I haven't received the dues." "I brought them over." "I'm sure." " When?" " Last month, the 28th." " No." " I did." "No." "But I gave them to your mother." "Then she'd hand them over to me." "I wouldn't know." "Ask her." "Excuse me." "Just a minute." "How do you do?" "Do you want any rubber bands... toothbrushes, pencils, brushes?" "We have everything." "I see." "Everything?" "Everybody says that." "A pencil then?" "Very quiet here, isn't it?" "We don't need anything." "No?" "Don't say that." "How about it?" "Buy a pencil." "This knife cuts good." "How about you?" "Want a pencil?" "Pencils, rubber bands, toothbrushes, brushes?" "Hey, lady." "Whatever." " Grandmother!" " What's the fuss?" " Did the peddler come here?" " No, he didn't." "Will you go see him when he comes?" "He's awful." "What?" "What happened?" " Excuse me." " See?" "He's come." "Yes, who is it?" "How do you do?" "Rubber bands, toothbrushes, pencils." "Scrub brushes." "No, thanks." "This knife cuts good." "Buy this pencil." " No." " Don't say that." "Buy a pencil." "Can I sharpen it and see for myself?" "This lead is not so easy to break." "Go ahead and try it." "You can see for yourself." "Never mind." "I'll sharpen it with ours." "Lady, I've got cotton too." "Want some?" "No." "Let me have the pencil." "It's sharp." "How much is this toothbrush?" "Fifty yen." "It's too expensive." "What's the matter?" "Leaving?" "Come again." "Shut the door." "What happened?" "Did he leave?" "Yes, he even left a pencil." "See?" "No one can beat you." "You can't be a weakling and be a midwife too." "Listen, you didn't by any chance receive the dues?" "I would have given them to you." " You would?" " Yes." "Mrs. Hayashi swears she paid you." "She didn't." "What is it?" "Wait a minute." "This?" "Yes, this." "Why didn't you give this to me?" "But I " "But what?" "Thanks to you, I've been embarrassed." "I'm the group head." "I'm blamed for everything." "So senile." "It's time for your Mt." "Narayama." "Why don't you go already?" "It makes me sick." "I was embarrassed for no reason." "Senile." "That's the limit." "Always complaining." "Thinks she raised herself on her own." "After driving me crazy." "Marrying a no-good husband." "Thinks she's so special." "Bearing a son like that." "She's got some nerve." "Excuse me again." "I'm sorry about earlier." "I'm so sorry." "My mother is terrible." "She just told me she'd received the dues." "I don't know how to apologize." "I'm very sorry." "It's all right now that you know." "I'm really sorry." "I'd like to crawl into a hole." "Please forget what I said." "Of course." "I don't mind at all." " Really?" " It's over with." "I'm so glad." "Thanks." "You won't tell anybody, will you?" "People gossip." "No, I won't." "Please." "Excuse me." "Listen, Mrs. Haraguchi." "How about this?" " What is it?" "It's a bell to prevent crime." "Patent pending." "Push this for burglars and fires, and it can be heard for 200 meters." "A burglar alarm?" "For pushy salesmen too." "You should've come sooner." "Did he come here?" "I had to buy pencils." "Rubber bands too." "It's because of scoundrels like that that the police and such recommend this." "How about one?" "Well..." "Should I buy one?" "What about your place?" " I have a better one." " You do?" "Grandmother." "She can handle most men." " What a nice day." " Yes, it is." "UKIYO RESTAURANT" "It's empty." " One more." " Okay." "It's cold." "You're late." "I bought this while I was out." "Tomorrow's races." "You really like this kind of thing?" "How about the third race?" " Let me see." "That's no good." "No chance." " No?" " No." " Maybe playing it the other way?" " No good." " Here you are." " You think so?" "Me too." " One more." " Okay." "Welcome." "Did I leave my glove here?" "No." "Did you see it?" "No, I didn't." "Mr. Hayashi." "Why not have a seat?" "Sit down." "Hey, where's my food?" " Have a drink." " Thank you." "Here you are." "Where to today?" "Where to today?" "No prospects." "But I have to eat." "Thanks." "When is it for you?" "Retirement." "It's terrible, like being killed slowly." "Companies think we don't eat after we retire." "I eat and drink." "My wife fusses, but I can't find a job." "It's like I'm stuck in the mud." ""No place under the sky to hide."" "It's very sad." "But your retirement allowance." "No, no, the company's smart." "They don't pay much." "For 30 years, rain or shine." "Riding a crowded train." "It's all pointless." "All pointless." "Mr. Tomizawa." "Leave me alone." "Some well-cooked root cake." "What are you doing?" "Aren't you having dinner?" "I'm not eating." "Not eating?" "Don't then." "It's no fun!" "Behave, or I'll " "Stingy." "Go hungry for all I care." "Isamu?" "Aren't you eating?" "I won't eat." "Do as you wish." "You're being foolish." "How long are you going to keep it up?" "Come here, Isamu." "Isamu." "Don't go." "I'm not going." "Minoru, why are you so unreasonable?" "I'll tell Father." "I don't care." "I'm not afraid." "Here's Father." "It's Father." "You're home." "It's cold, no?" "I walked home with Mr. Tomizawa from the station." "He was pretty drunk." "What's up?" " They're being impossible." " What's wrong?" " They won't listen to me at all." "What is it?" "I tell them not to, but they go next door to watch TV anyway." "So buy us a TV." "They went next door instead of English class again today." "They're a big headache." "So buy us a TV set." "Buy one!" "No." "Then I'll go next door to watch TV." "Me too." "Stubborn children." "I don't care." "You're the stubborn one." "We go 'cause there's no TV at home." "We wouldn't go there if we had one at home." " Be quiet!" " Stop it." "Father will scold you." "I'm not afraid." " Shut up!" "Quiet!" " I won't." "I don't have to." "Look here!" "What did you say?" "Let me go!" "Let go!" "You talk too much." "Stop when I say so." "I didn't say anything." "Fussing about a small thing like a woman." "You talk too much for a kid." "Keep quiet." "See?" "You got a scolding." "I want a TV set." "That's too much talking." "It's grown-ups who talk too much." ""Hello." "Good morning." "Good evening."" ""Fine weather, isn't it?" "Yes, it is."" "Idiot!" ""Where are you off to?" "Just a ways." "Is that so?"" "Just a lot of talk." ""I see, I see." What's there to see?" "Shut up!" "Be quiet!" "A boy shouldn't be such a chatterbox." "Be quiet for a while." "Okay, I will - for days." "Yes, I'd appreciate that." "100 days." " Yes, be quiet." "Don't speak." "Come on, Isamu." "Watch it!" "Such a nuisance." "Isamu, no matter what they say, don't answer them." "Get me?" "I mean it." "No matter what happens, don't speak." " Outside too?" " Yes." "I'll test you." "Good." "My turn." " Okay?" " Okay." "This means I have to speak." " Okay." "Farting is okay." " I'm home." " You're back." " You're late." " Yes." "Miss Fukui said you can hold your class reunion at Chinzanso." "I see." "You went over there?" " Yes." "Where are the boys?" " In their room." "Good, good!" "You're studying." "Do you want some cake?" "It's good." "See?" "What is it?" "Don't you want any?" "All right then." "We'll eat it." "It's awfully good." "I'm hungry." "Aren't you?" "Grandmother!" "Time to eat." "Grandmother!" "Buy some underwear for him on your way home." "Again?" "Yes." "Cheap ones will do." "More?" "No, don't." "Your loose tummy won't get well." "More?" "Good, good!" "It's so quiet." "Don't speak." "How long will it last?" "Say good-bye." "Good morning." "You're early." "Kozo's coming." "Kozo." "Kozo." "Good morning." "That's a nice scarf." "Did you have a fight with Minoru?" "No, I didn't." "I'm going." "What happened?" "That's odd." "Such strange children." "What's the matter?" "What's up?" "The children from across the way didn't even say hi." "What about it?" "They both looked at me and didn't say a word." "Is Mrs. Hayashi still mad at me about yesterday?" "What about yesterday?" "About the dues." "No." "Those things happen." "It's Grandmother's fault." "She didn't tell me." "If I hadn't asked her, she might have taken it." "I wouldn't have." "Everyone forgets." "I don't." "Not important things." "You do forget." "I know." "What?" "What did I forget?" "That gas bill I paid." "Ignoring your own faults." "Speak for yourself." "Stop it, stop it." "Stop it now." "I'm going." "Have a good day." "Saying you don't forget." "Forgetting to pay me back." "Always nagging." "Why did I have a daughter like her?" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Your husband's left?" "Yes." "Listen." "She's funny." "The woman in her nightclothes?" "She's impossible too." "Mrs. Hayashi." " What?" "I was late with the dues." "So she tells everyone I bought a washer with it." "She did?" "That's awful." "Yes." "I went over to complain." "And she apologized." "It was settled." "But she's still mad." "She told her kids too." "This morning I spoke to them, but they ignored me." "What's wrong with them?" "I couldn't be like that." "I see." "Is she like that?" "Yes." "I'm surprised at her." "I wouldn't have thought it of her." "Be careful." "She holds grudges." "I see." "Maybe she does." "Should I return the beer I owe her?" "You borrowed beer?" "You were out of it." "That night?" "You better hurry and return it." "Yes." "I'm glad you told me." "Good morning." " Excuse me." " Oh, hello." "I forgot all about the beer I borrowed the other day." "There was no hurry to return it." "And the bus ticket you paid for." " It's all right." " No, I must return it." "Excuse me." "Mrs. Tomizawa." "Are you in?" "Mrs. Okubo's here." "Welcome." "What is it?" "If you've borrowed anything from Mrs. Hayashi, you'd better return it." "Why?" "She holds grudges over small things." "No." "I've borrowed a lot of things in the past." "But she does, I'm told." "I'm surprised too." "She comes off like she's well educated, but one can never tell." "Maybe so." "Our cat stole her dried fish." "Should I return it?" "You should." "I see." "I did, and it's a load off my mind." "So you understand the game?" "Begin with the last letter." ""Crow." "Worm." "Moon."" "So, who's next?" "Akita." "Moonlight Mask." "Moonlight Mask?" "No, it has to begin with an" "Shimizu." "Suzunosuke." "No, no." "The letter" "Hayashi." "What begins with "N"?" "There are lots of them, aren't there?" "What's the matter?" "Is anything wrong?" "The lavatory?" "What's that?" "What is it?" "What?" "Read it." "Read it for me." "Speak up." "You can read it." "You know the words." "Stand there." "That's all." "Don't forget to bring your lunch money tomorrow." "Don't forget." "Bring your lunch money tomorrow." "Does everyone understand?" "Raise your hand if you do." "What about our lunch money?" "Can I tell Mother?" "No." "Don't speak." "What will we do?" "How long can they keep it up?" "Ignoring them is best." "It's the rebellious phase." "They take after their father in their funny ways." "What?" "So very stubborn." "They take after you." "That's not true." "I wonder." "What is it?" " What is it?" " What?" "What do you think?" "I wonder." "Any idea?" "No." "What is it?" "A building?" "A big house?" "The capitol building?" "A temple?" "A hospital?" "No?" "Oh, school." "School?" "What about school?" "It's on fire?" "Not a fire?" "It's not a fire?" "Drink tea?" "Then what?" "Drink tea, then eat?" "Money." "It's money?" "I understand." "The firemen put out the fire, you gave them tea and you paid them." "What?" " What is it?" "Do you know?" "No, I don't." "What is it about?" "What is it?" "I wonder." "One, two, three, four, five, six..." "He's good." "Sure." "He works for the gas company." "Minoru's good, too, but now he won't talk." "Not even at school." "Why won't you talk?" "It must be pretty inconvenient." "What's the matter?" "Did you make a vow?" "What is it?" "Silly boys." "Are you still eating pumice powder?" "Keep it up, and you'll die from stones in your stomach." " Really?" " Really." "That seal that died at the zoo?" "It was full of stones." "It thought the stones the visitors threw were food." "Who is it?" " Hello." " Oh, it's you." "What is it?" "You're here, boys?" "Why don't you come over and watch TV?" "Are there any vacant apartments here?" "I don't think so." "Ask downstairs." "Do you know of something anywhere else?" "I don't know." "For whom?" "For me." "I want to move." "The neighbors are such a nuisance." "Don't you know of anyplace?" "No." "You're not very nice, are you?" "Good-bye." "Yes?" "It's you." "Hello." "You're here?" "I have another translation job." "That other work was okay then?" "Yes." "I'll come for it in four, five days." "All right." "The work's a great help." "Thanks." "What happened?" "They won't say a word." "They were scolded for talking back, so they decided not to talk at all." "That's interesting." "What did you say?" "Tell me, Isamu." "What happened?" "They said grown-ups talk too much." ""Good morning." "Good evening." "Good day." "Nice weather, isn't it?"" "Yes, it's true." "But everybody does it." "You're right." "Everybody does it." "Yes, we do." "But maybe it's necessary." "It would be a boring world if we didn't." "Yes, but the children don't understand yet." "No, they wouldn't know that yet." "But isn't it necessary in our world?" "I think so." "Say, Isamu." "What are you mad about?" "Is that so?" "I see." "Is it?" "Have a drink." "Is it too much?" " No, no." "Not at all." "Never mind." "Drinking and smoking are a waste of time, too, but why worry?" "That's all right." "I know how the kids feel when they ask you to buy one." "I'd like one, too, but I can't afford it." "That's not the problem." "I'm against buying one." "Someone said TV will create 100 million idiots." "Is that so?" "What does that mean?" "It means all Japanese will become idiots." "That would be pretty terrible." "But what does that really mean?" "What do you think about it?" " About what?" " About television?" "Television?" "The 100 million idiots?" "You knew?" "Yes." "TV sets are a nuisance." "You think so too?" "You don't say?" "Too many conveniences are no good." " Just so." " It's a problem." "I'm back." "Have you come to visit us?" "I'm glad you came." "Good boy." "You're back?" "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hayashi." "Is my wife's out?" "Thanks for house-sitting." "Your home is next door." "Sorry, sorry." "Shall I help you?" "No, I'm all right." "I'm back." "I feel good." "You've been drinking again." "Got it right this time - my own home." "I feel good." "What's there to feel good about?" "I feel good." "Shut up." "It feels good." "Listen, are you through?" "Not yet." "What about the truck?" "It's coming around 3:00." "You better hurry." "Are you hurrying?" "What are you doing?" "Next door is moving, I think." "Oh, yes?" "The neighbors here are a pain." "I feel like moving out too." "Wherever you go, you have neighbors." "Unless you live in the mountains." " That's true." "Do mice gnaw on pumice stone?" "I don't think they do." "No?" "But it's wearing away quickly." "Maybe I should rub rat poison on it." "I'm hungry." "We haven't had any snacks for a long time." "We won't die, will we?" "Let's not eat pumice stones anymore." "We're not so full of stones yet." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." " It's our teacher." " What'll we do?" "Come on." "Is that so?" "I scolded them for talking too much." "I see." "Now that I know, it's all right." "Isamu won't talk either." "I'm sorry that we caused you trouble." "Raising children is very hard." "Please use Spartan methods." "We don't mind." " We can't do that." "You have a guest?" "Please come in." "I'm leaving." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "They'll bring the money tomorrow." "Good." "Excuse me." " Come in, Mr. Tomizawa." " Thanks." "Excuse me." "Nice weather, isn't it?" "Yes." "A spell of nice weather." " Welcome." " I'm sorry about last night." "My wife let me have it." "You seemed very happy." "Please be glad for me." "I found a job." "That's great." "It's not a big company." "Kowa Electric Company." "Do you know it?" "It's across from an eatery." "I'm in Sales." "That's excellent." "It's hard work though." "I have to go door-to-door." "I see." "Toasters, mixers." "Washing machines too." "What about buying one?" "We can't." "What about buying something?" "We have installment plans too." "We must buy something to celebrate your new job." "Please do that." "I have additional catalogs." "I'll get them." "Won't take a minute." "It's time for us to think about it too." "What?" "Retirement." "Hey." "Want some tea?" "Yeah, I'll have some." "It's a mess, isn't it?" "Fun, isn't it?" "Rice, please." "It tastes good." "I'd like some side dish too." " Should I bring something?" " Yes, go get it." "Minoru." "Hurry up." "Who is it?" " Hello." " Good evening." "Our boys aren't here, are they?" "No." "Is anything wrong?" "Were they here at all?" "No, not today." " What is it?" " They went out this afternoon." "I see." "You must be worried." "Yes." "But they may already be home." "Excuse me." "Take care." "Good-bye." "What could have happened?" "Funny kids." "They're still not speaking?" "It's kind of interesting." "For children, our greetings may seem like a waste of time." "That's so." "I do it all the time to sell cars." "I have to." "Of course." "It acts as a lubricant in this world." "But important things are difficult to say." "Right." "Whereas meaningless things are easy to say." "That goes for you too." "What?" " You can't admit you're in love." " What do you mean?" "About Setsuko." "You only talk about the weather and work." " You're wrong." " I'm not wrong." "I know." "Get around to the important things." "How about going out to look?" "For what?" "The kids." "They've been gone since afternoon." "It's been too long." "You want me to go look for them?" "You should." "It's cold out." "Wear something warm." "Check around the movie theaters." "I'm back." "Are they home?" " Not yet." " I see." "I went to his apartment." "What's that?" "I picked these up at the police station." "They left them and ran away." "Where did they go?" "Where'd they go?" "I'll go and look." " No, I'll go." " Where did they go?" " Nothing but trouble." "It's cold out." "Wear something warm." " Good evening." " Yes?" "Good evening." "Get in here." "Where were you?" "They're back." "Please don't scold them." "They were watching TV in front of the train station." "Thank you very much." "Idiots." "You made us worry." "Well, excuse me." " Thank you very much." " Thanks a lot." "Good-bye." "Get in here." "Don't worry." "Come on in." "Come on up." "Come on." "Great!" " A TV." " It's awesome." " You bought one?" " You really bought one?" "Yes." "Father bought it." "It's awesome." "Mr. Tomizawa brought it over." " How much?" " It's expensive." " How much?" " Never mind." "You two study hard now." " Yes, I will." " I will." "Thanks." "Aren't we lucky?" "Nice, huh?" "We can watch baseball too." "Aren't we lucky?" "Hey." "Aren't you hungry?" "No." "Teacher treated us to noodles." "Dumplings too." "I see." "Not hungry then." "I'm so happy!" "Look here!" "If you're going to be so noisy, I'll return it." "It's a lie." "His face gives him away." "He's smiling." " I'm leaving." " I'm leaving!" "Have a good day." "Mom, will you have the TV ready when we come home?" "Yes." " We're off." " We're off!" " Good morning." " Good morning." "Has Ko left?" "Kozo." "Kozo." " Good morning, ma'am." " Good morning." "Has Zen left?" "Yes, he just left." "Ko, hurry up." " I'm leaving." " I'm leaving!" "I'm leaving!" "What's going on?" "They spoke, didn't they?" "What's happened?" "One moment, Mrs. Tomizawa!" "What is it?" "Good day." "What is it?" "The Hayashi boys were very cheerful this morning." "Yes." "They said, "Good morning."" "You've got them all wrong." "That family is nice, and Mrs. Hayashi's very understanding." "You think so?" "Yes, you've got the wrong impression." "I'm going shopping." "Do you need anything?" "No?" "Then..." "What's with her?" "Her husband must have bought her a hot plate or something." "Otherwise, she wouldn't be so happy." "Yes." "She's happy when things go her way." "Do you still eat pumice stone?" "It's bad for you." "You'll die." "I quit." "I changed to burdock." "Press me." "Me too." "Now you." "No good." "You're no good." "What's the matter?" "I'm going home." "I'll come later." "ROASTED SWEET POTATOES" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Thanks for last night." "Where are you going?" "To Ginza." "Then we can go together." "A fine day, isn't it?" "Yes, really." "A fine day." "Should be nice weather for a while." "Yes, it looks like nice weather for a while." "That cloud's got an interesting shape." "Yes, it is an interesting shape." "It looks like something." "Yes, it looks like something." "It's a nice day." "Yes, a really fine day." "You idiot." "A big boy too." "Such a bother." "Mother, I won't die, will I?" "I swallowed some pumice stone by mistake." "You're better off dead, missing school over this." "I won't feed you till you're well." "Mother, give me some clean underwear." "You don't need any underwear." "No more underwear until you get well." "THE END"
