"Listen, I pay money to lay total strangers." "But you stay in such a small place and lay blood kin." "Meaning?" "walk through the village at night and you'II see." "What are you doing?" "What were you looking at?" "They'II shock you." "Show me." "I've got to go." "Show me!" "No way!" "What were you looking at?" "No!" "No way!" "asshole!" "I don't want to!" "It's rare to see you in the mountains, isn't it?" "A change of scenery." "You want to be a teacher?" "You're that bright, huh?" "With men, what comes first is your duty to fight in the war." "They say you're the smartest guy around." "I'm glad to hear that." "When we were little, I said I'd marry you." "I remember." "We can't marry." "Why not?" "We're cousins, you and I. Aren't we?" "will you go to the mountains tomorrow?" "I don't know." "I know you rarely do." "What a shame!" "If you go, I will too." "Hey, look there!" "Let's go." "What a big snake!" "It was this long." "Were you scared?" "Let's go." "Hurry!" "Today's story..." "Not "Three Human bullets" again?" "AII you tell us is soldiers." "Men must fight for their country." "We're tired of it." "You feel great." "You feel great." "You feel great." "You feel great." " What's that?" "What Dad does." "I'm good at it." "Enough!" "How about your mum?" "Mist?" "How rare!" "How's this?" "Good?" "How's this?" "He's Yuzo." "They aren't married." "Who's there?" "So, it's Tsugio." "What are you doing?" "Taking a walk." "What are YOU doing?" "Watching so Tadaaki and his pals won't do anything bad." "It's Yuzo's idea." "How about visiting women?" "At night?" "That's bad." "Tadaaki just causes gossip." "It's awful." "That's true." "Is it Yuzo's idea?" "Go home before you get involved." "Thanks for warning me." "Tsugio!" "Hey, Tsugio!" "The same train?" "I've been to Osaka." "And you?" "To see doctors." "They're all quacks." "Lay a woman and you'II feel better." "Where was I?" "Eriko?" "Are you up?" "It's Inumaru Tsugio." "Who's there?" "Tsugio." "The other night I saw Yuzo here." "That misty night." "When our soldiers are fighting in Manchuria..." "Don't say it." "That much I know." "My husband went to war, too." "soldiers' wives should be chaste." "soldier?" "Can you call him a soldier?" "AII he does is feed horses." " It's an honour, isn't it?" "It's hot." "Do you mind if I undress?" "I took a bath." "I still feel hot." "It's forbidden to visit women at night." "That's only for outsiders like Tadaaki." "Men are at war." "So are women." "shall I tell your grandma about this?" "I wonder how the smartest boy here will taste." "Gosh!" "You came already?" "You shoot fast!" "Are you in, ma'am." "Ma'am?" "She's out talking with someone." "I'II go look for her." "Tsugio, sorry to bother you, but will you ask her something?" "Money?" "I'II ask her." "Thank you." "My man won't be home for a while." "He's a hard worker." "Why don't you come round tonight?" "I'm alone." "The nights are long for me." "It's Tsugio." "I've brought the money for you." "Are you in, Mioko?" "Don't shout like that." "I'm sorry." "I was nursing my child." "Tsugio." "Yours is nice." "Tsugio." "This made you an adult." "You became a real man." "well, do you feel warm now?" "Tsugio." "You look pale." "I know." "I often cough." "That's too bad." "I can't study well, but I'II be a good soldier." "I'II pass the Army examination." "It'II soon be time for it." "He may be killed." "Tadaaki?" "Yuzo was speaking to Dad about it." "I don't believe it." "He said, the village is peaceful because we boycotted outsiders." "Did they kill them?" "probably just the useless ones," "and buried them in the hills." "It's the colour of blood." "They live in a tiny village and copulate with everyone." "They have babies, and toss them into the river." "How gross!" "I wonder." "The women here are different." "They're always lonely." "always lonely." "Tsugio." "Keep this." "How nice!" "Did you make it?" "It's for you." "Yasuyo." "A woman says she's in love by herself." "It's a disgusting tradition." "I'II treasure it." "In ancient times, even brothers and sisters married." "Just remember that I Iove you." "Yasuyo." "Thank you!" "ARMY EXAMINATION SITE" "I'm afraid you still have phlegm." "You filled this in yourself?" "Yes, sir." ""tuberculosis"" "Doctor..." "Next!" "Check me again." "Do you doubt the word of a doctor in the Japanese imperial Army?" "I don't, but..." "Do you think you'II make a good soldier in your condition?" "Get better first." "tuberculosis." "I'm sorry." "Next!" "hello." "hello." "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Seen Grandma?" "No." "Okay." "Has Mamoru returned?" "Tsugio, I was surprised to see so many eggs there." "The hens did their best for you." "They don't help me recover." "Stop!" "Don't you know how I feel?" "Grandma, I'm sorry." "Have one more." "What did Dad die of?" "And Mum?" "They both died of illness." "But not of tuberculosis." "Sure?" "Sure." "Is it hereditary?" "You mean tuberculosis?" "No." "I must change my blood, or I can't get well." "Eat good food and rest." "You'II get better." "Dr. Honjo said so, too." "He lied." "So did you." "Sorry." "My family is so strict." "I wanted to be a soldier, much more than a teacher." "I wanted to fight with a rifle, for my country." "That's all." "You may go." "I just wanted someone to listen to me." "Not any more, probably." "Throw away that string." "I'm getting married next month." "Tsugio." "I'm not marrying another man because you're ill." "I came to tell you that." "What'II I do?" "I can't go to war." "And now, I'm losing you." "Stop fretting." "Be strong, Iike a man." "I Ioved what you used to be... very much." "It'II get dirty." "I'II wash it." "shall I massage your back?" "Don't bother." "I'II do it." "I don't mind." "Kazuko, it still smells nice." "You're embarrassing me." "She's like a goddess." "Isn't she?" "I've had children." "My body's no good, is it?" "I don't know." "Young men are nice." "Their skin is smooth and elastic." "What's wrong?" "My man will return next week." "So what?" "I never loved you." "I won't come again." "What are you doing?" "It hurts." "Let go!" "I went to return your towel, but..." "I don't need it." "I washed it." "What's funny?" "May I tell you?" "Sure." "I'II listen." "Stop it." "Go on." "Go away!" "Leave!" "Forget her." "Tetsuo, you're stealing my girl?" "You heard me." "Forget her!" "She loves me." "She gave me a towel when I coughed up blood." "I know, I heard about it." "She just didn't know that you're sick." "Do you want to know what she said about you?" "I'II ask her." "Her and Grandma are the only people who care about me." "Eriko." "Eriko!" "My man's back home." "No." "No more." "Why say that?" "Be quiet!" "Tsugio?" "Don't talk there." "Come in." "Thanks, but I'II go." "Kazuko, you really like me, huh?" "Who are you?" "Me." "I can't tell who." "Aunty!" "You're Tsugio!" "I came to see you." "At this hour?" "What are you saying?" "I mean it." "I Love you." "ridiculous!" "Use a hole in the fence to relieve yourself." "What?" "AII you ever do is Ioaf!" "Get a job, then come to see me." "You can't even become a soldier!" "The insult!" "Mum, what's going on?" "Kazuko, say something for me." "Stop it!" "Kazuko... you too!" "Kazuko... you too!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "He's killing her!" "Someone help!" "Officer." "Oh, Tsugio." "How's school?" "It wasn't suicide." "Not suicide?" "I saw." "You saw?" "What did you see?" "What's wrong?" "These days, Tsugio is studying too hard." "Sometimes he says stupid things." "We all know that." "We'II ask him about it." "We'II report it to you." "You will?" "Tsugio, don't surprise me anymore." "Idiots and geniuses are similar." "They're beyond us." "Tsugio, get some diversion once in a while." "When they say to look right, look right." "Do just as they say." "Then everything will be fine." "I may get killed." "What a ridiculous idea!" "Next time, they'II get me." "And bury me in the mountains." "Stop thinking like that." "Think about how to raise money." "Why not sell the field?" "will you go and do it?" "Sure." "Grandma." "It'II be cold in the ground, huh?" "HIROKAWA GUN SHOP" ""Takenaka Tsuneyo"" ""Inumaru Tsugio's battlefield"" ""Takenaka Tsuneyo and Kazuko"" "Tsugio." "Go to bed now." "Grandma." "I'II never leave you alone." "Why, thank you very much." "That's great." "I always arrange marriages." "I really enjoy matching people up." "Being busy doing it makes me feel good." "Who'II marry this time?" "Kazuko, Tsuneyo's daughter." "They made so many conditions." "It wasn't easy finding a suitable man in so small a village." "Making young people happy is very rewarding, isn't it?" "Yasuyo got a divorce so soon." "It's embarrassing." "Did she get a divorce?" "Why?" "actually..." "She shouIdn't have talked to Tsugio?" "I didn't say that." "They did." "I remember." "I have one more place to visit." "Goodbye." "What are you going?" "Trespassing on people's property!" "Let me ask you something." "About what?" "Is Kazuko really getting married?" "Of course." "Nice, isn't it?" "I suppose." "I know." "You love her, don't you?" "Her marriage is arranged." "Don't ruin it." " I won't." "You have lots of time to loaf." "You may think of something stupid." "Let me say this." "Consider what you're doing." "AII you do is put men and women together." "Stop it, or something bad will happen." "Think of the times." "We need a bigger population." "Because you can't go to war, you fool around with a rifle to kill time." "Think you're serving your country?" "Shut your big fat mouth!" "Tsugio!" "Stop it!" "Let go!" "Let me go!" " Don't do that to Mum!" "Remember this!" "Leech!" "You know this place, huh?" "Nakaji." "I've got a message for Mioko from Grandma." "I'II listen." "tell me." "I'II come again." "Wait, brat!" "We'II sort this out." "Mioko!" "Come out here!" "Mioko!" "Do you know who this is?" "talk!" "Mr. Inumaru Tsugio." "Don't "mister" him." "What did he do to you?" "Mioko..." "call her Mrs. Akagi!" "She started it, saying it's interest on Grandma's Ioan." "Who'd believe it?" "You punk!" "You loser!" "You sick bucket of scum!" "Stay away, or we'II catch your TB!" "What's that?" "Catch my TB?" "Say that again!" "I don't mind repeating it!" "AII you're good for is seducing other men's wives!" "I came in her many times." "The brass!" "Damn punk!" "You want to die?" "Think you can do it, you stupid ass?" "Go ahead and try." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Go on!" "Do it!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Let go!" " I'II kill you!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "please stop this!" "Shut up!" "Stop it!" "Nakaji, please stop!" "I beg of you!" "Dammit!" "Bring sake!" "Tsugio." "Tsugio." "Tsugio." "Grandma, shall I fix you lunch?" "No thanks." "I'm better." "I hope you don't get sick, too." "fool!" "Anyway, I'm old enough to die." "I'm exhausted... all over." "Tsugio, after I'm gone, do whatever you Iike." "But don't make me sad while I'm alive." "No, I won't." "Grandma, take this medicine." "It's from Dr. Honjo." "You'II feel better." "Strange colour, isn't it?" "Take it." "Take it, Grandma!" "What are you trying to do?" "Grandma!" "Grandma..." "Try to understand." "I have nowhere else to go." "Let me stay, Yasuyo." "Tsugio..." "I..." "I know you've had a divorce." "I'II marry you." "Have children by me." "The children of a genius and a beauty." "My blood offspring." "children by a man with TB." "Tsugio!" "I'm sorry." "Try to kill me, if you can!" "Ah, here we are." "Stop!" "Be quiet!" "It's me, Akamatsu!" "Ma'am, think carefully before you answer." "You shouted "Tsugio tried to poison me!"" "And then you fled to Nakaji's house." "Is that right?" "Whatever Nakaji may have said," "Tsugio did not try to poison me." "Is she right?" "You shoot a rifle?" "I think it helps keep me fit." "You threatened Nakaji with it, right?" "That's a serious offence." "Who said that?" " He told us!" "Show us the rifle." "Here." "Search here." "Come and help me." "Yes, sir." "Here." "There's more." "bullets." "Too much just for hunting birds, wouldn't you say?" "I bought before they raise the prices." "You need this too?" "For work in the mountains." "Got a hunting license?" "We'II keep them for a while." "What?" "We can't let you use them." "Leave the license, please." "You don't need it, do you?" "They'II soon return them." "Don't worry." "Let's go." "apologise to Nakaji." "Then everything will be alright." "No sense in fighting." "A great relief for Tsuneyo." "Darn straight!" "Good weather, too." "still can't forget her?" "I forgot her a Iong time ago." "What about you?" "Seems she got a good husband." "But it was wrong of her to jilt a man with a bright future like me." ""To Umeda"" "Is this enough?" "Aren't you going?" "I'II do some shopping first." "Thank you for this." "What have you been doing?" "Something I can't tell you." "It's time to end it." "Going somewhere?" "I wonder." "I'II be drafted soon." "You'II be a soldier?" "I envy you." "Some can't go, even if they want to." "You're the opposite." "Life is unfair." "At least you have somewhere to go." "OEBASHI GUN SHOP" "welcome." "Anything special you'd Iike." "A pump-action shotgun." "May I sit with you?" "I'II go soon." "I saw you, so I came." "The villagers all say you'II do something." "Do you know that?" "You won't do anything, will you?" "Of course not." "That was all I wanted to know." "I'II get married again." "congratulations." "I'm always lonely." "It's bad." "Not only women." "Men are lonely, too." "Do to me whatever you Iike." "I don't mind." "It's not a problem." "They ran away." "They didn't tell me a thing." "Tsugio!" "Why must you kick out people who live peacefully?" "Nakaji and Mioko left, and they took the kids with them." "What did they do wrong?" "It's none of my concern." "What?" "calm yourself, Yaichi." "Yaichi." "I haven't complained to you until now." "But you went too far." "If you want to kill me, do it quickly." "We'II discuss what to do with you." "And report it to your grandma." "You're a devil." "We must expel you!" "Did they run?" "I have no time to waste." "I do look like a devil." "folks, wait and see what happens." "Dear Yasuyo:" "How are you?" "Please forgive my writing so abruptly." "lm going to war." "I'll go to the battlefield on October 20." "Keep away from the village that day." "I'm praying so I'll be a devil." "I'll go to war." "I'll be a devil." "I mean it." "Goodbye, Yasuyo." "Tsugio, the power is off." "Let's finish supper quickly, Tsugio." "Today's been a strange day." "Many chickens died and now the power cut." "And just when Kazuko's returned from her wedding." "Poor woman." "Is Kazuko home?" "Tsuneyo said so." "She planned to cook, but no power." "Today's a wonderful day!" "Grandma." "Grandma." "smile and see me off, as you promised." "Grandma." "Make me a demon." "Make me a devil." "hall Inumaru Tsugio!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "What's up?" "Ass!" "sleep quietly!" "Where's Eiko?" "Eiko!" "You hag!" "I came to lay you." "congratulations on your marriage!" "Wake up!" "I'II kill you all!" "Where's Fumiaki?" "He kicked Yasuyo out!" "Dammit!" "help!" "It's Tsugio!" "He's gone mad!" "help!" "We never said anything against you." "Spare us!" "Keep quiet!" "Where's Mum?" "I killed her first." "I've been looking for you!" "Yaichi!" "I'm coming for you, Yaichi!" "Yaichi!" "Yaichi!" "Yaichi!" "You helped Mioko and Nakaji get away!" "Tsugio." "Who's there?" "Yasuyo!" "please..." "please stop it!" "Don't worry." "I won't kill your family." "I got your letter, so I came home." "Tsugio." "I should have come sooner." "But I didn't know what to say." "When I was half asleep, I heard a noise." "And thought I should stop you." "Three more families to kill." "devil!" "What's wrong with being a devil?" "Tsugio!" "Here I am." "Look what you did!" "Yuzo, come out!" "You're the worst!" "I'II kill you!" "help!"
