"What's enough?" "Why don't you train a little?" "They're all training." "You're a swellhead." "You're the swellhead, Tani." "You beat me last time, just because I hadn't slept enough." "You hadn't slept enough?" "But you doze off everyday, don't you?" "Sound sleep makes the athlete." "What counts most is to win, right?" "Let's race." "If I beat you, that's great, huh?"

"Those college boys trained last year too." "I didn't know." "It's a pity." "You didn't see?" "They look nice when carrying rifles too." "I wish they were wearing helmets." "Too bad I missed them last year." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Will they follow us?" "Dietrich in "Morocco" would follow us." "They were in the Foreign Legion, right?" "Right." "Then, who's Gary Cooper?" "Not you." "Nor you." "Ask Dietrich." "They're after us." "And by truck!" "Dietrich's waving." "To whom?" "You, it seems." "You, I bet." "You." "Never mind about who!" "Double time!" "Faster!" "Charge!" "Kneel!" "Forward!" "Fall prone!" "Charge!" "We lost sight of them" "He's sleeping again" "He's sound asleep." "Hey..." "Seki!" "I was leading the charge." "What are you saying?" "You always brag about winning." "What counts is winning at the most critical time." "Don't preach." "I didn't sleep well." "Winning is best, huh?" "Yeah, winning is best." " Winning counts, right?" " Sure, winning counts." ""Winning is better." "Winning is better."" ""Winning is better." "Winning is better."" "How noisy!" "Quiet!" "Louder!" ""Winning is better."" "Winning is better?" "Very well." "Hey!" "Winning is better." "Take a good look." "Say it again." "Just win." "What counts most for us is sleep." "Fall in!" "Winning is best?" "That's right." "Hey!" "Fall in!" "Roll call!" "Right face!" "Forward!" "Fall in!" "Roll call!" "Right face!" "Forward march!" "Ouch!" "Hey." "What's wrong, Kimura?" "Got a belly ache?" "What happened?" "Hopeless!" "You ate too much." "You just eat and sleep, that's all." "He even ate half of mine." "Will you see to him?" "By myself?" "When he's better, follow us." "Must I do it alone?" "Let's go see a doctor first." "They say "Eat to moderation'." Be wary." "You even ate half of mine." "What a pig!" "That hurts." "You've gained weight." "You're heavy." "It's a hill!" "Enough!" "I sure wish he could go home." "Who's snoring?" "Enough!" "Ah!" "It's coming!" "I left Mori with Kimura." "Will he be all right?" "Will someone else see to him?" "Mori alone isn't enough." "Excuse me, have you seen two students?" "Sorry, I don't think so." "They're asleep!" "Hey, student!" "Wait!" "My bundle!" "I'm sorry." " Don't joke." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Snoring so loudly." "Persimmons." "I wonder if they stole them." " Is she your sister?" " No." " Your mother?" " No." " Then who?" " I don't know." "Something nice for you." "Here." "Take it." "I found the dropout on a cart 5 kilometers back." "I brought him here." "Thanks." "Fall in!" "Roll call!" "Rest!" "We marched nearly 35 kilometers today." "We did well except for one dropout." "Tonight we'll bunk at private homes here." "Enjoy yourselves until lights-out." "Attention!" "Fall out!" "Hey!" "Be moderate." "But this is my first." "Try to be moderate." "I won't drink that much anyway." "Help yourselves, although it isn't fancy." "He over-ate today and was our only dropout." "Getting sick from over-eating is fine." "I once had a son your age." "He was weak and couldn't eat much." "He died of stomach trouble." "Parents are stupid." "Sometimes I wish he were alive, even if he was weak." "Pour for him." "Even though my son was weak, he was very bright." "He won a scholarship from the prefecture and went to college." "But he died last spring, just before graduation." "After that, I took to drinking." "Mother, bring more sake." "I'd rather he'd gone to war and got killed in action." "Then I could have given him up." "Mother, isn't the sake ready?" "Snap it up." "Your folks are glad you're alive, dumb as you are." "The same to you." "So lots of dummies are staying at different houses." "When I was seven years old," "one of the neighbor's kids said to me" ""I have a daddy"" ""What happened to yours?"" "At that time I remembered I had no father." "So I went home and asked my mother if I had a father..." "Winning is better!" "Winning is better!" "They're so loud." "It's too much!" "Okay, I'll go and win!" "Hey!" "Tani!" "Outside!" "Tani isn't here." "Isn't here?" "He ran away?" "Hey, Tani!" "Come out!" "Tani's in the next room." "What?" "The next room?" "What a guy!" "Let's sing!" "Tani!" "Don't yell "Winning is better," when he's singing." "How noisy!" "Seki, let me sing a while." "Didn't you shout "Winning is better"?" "Shut up!" "Continue singing." "I'll sing a different one." "Was Tani there?" "Did you win or lose?" "Shut up!" "He yelled at me." "Be quiet!" "Where have you been?" "I went to call a doctor." "A doctor?" "Is someone sick?" "Kimiko has a stomach ache." "Really?" "Is it the persimmon I gave her?" "So I hear." "How noisy!" "Just be quiet!" "Don't sing when someone's sick." "Go outside and sing." "Seems he doesn't know me." "Apparently." "I don't know you either." "You don't?" "Then I'll tell you." "I can't talk loudly, but..." "It's just a child's illness." "What did she eat?" "I gave her a persimmon today." "A persimmon?" "That must be it then." "If she moves her bowels, she'll be fine in a few days." "I'll be going then." "Doctor." "Don't worry about her." "Doctor, how's the patient?" "She'll be fine." "Will you come for her medicine?" "You can pay for the medicine when you get it." "Pay for the examination now." "1 yen for transportation." "For a night call, you must pay for my transportation." "1 yen for the examination." "Anything else?" "30 sen for liquid medicine." "50 sen for preparation." " I'll pay when I pick up the medicine." " Is that so?" "I see." "Nurse her." "Mother..." " Medicine money?" " Will you help me?" "A sucker's here, right?" "You mean the student?" "He's no good." "He's not a sucker?" "Really?" "I see." "All right, I'll lend it to you." "Thank you." "Here." "Thank you." " Tome." " Huh?" "Go get the medicine." " Don't forget the change." " OK." "Hey, woman." "To me, it looks like a comedy." "Why need a doctor and medicine?" "I'm a good exorcist." "I'll cure her stomach ache." "Let me tell you something first." "We're guests here." "You don't have to pay me." "Oh, gods of all directions..." "May you purify the child." " You feel better now, right?" " No." " How about now?" " No." "Not yet?" "Fuji!" "Right now?" "I can't." "If you don't, I'll get in trouble." "Don't you see?" "I understand." "I'll go." "Student, I'm going out." "I wonder where she's going?" "There's no sense asking that." "She can't work with a sick child around." "It can't be helped." "Illness and rain are fatal to travellers." "I shouldn't have given the kid a persimmon." "Give this to the woman." "This much?" "Is that so?" "She'll be glad." "Thank you kindly." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "It's not for you." "I know that." "I'll give it to her when she returns." " Goodbye then." " Yes." "Will you give me some sake?" "Do you know an eatery called Komatsuya?" "You do, huh?" "Hey student, you came all the way but someone else took her." "You can't go back empty handed." "Hear me sing and then go." "You said go outside and sing, huh?" "Let's go outside." "Give me sake and food." "Seems you're rich." "Oh, gods of all directions..." "Where were you?" "We looked for you." "He says he's going to sing for me." "I'm going to listen." "A song?" "I'm in a hurry." "You listen." " All right." " Goodbye then." "Now sing your song for us." "Hey, come and listen." "Where are you going?" "Me?" " I'm going to work." " Doing what?" "I play music." "I'm a musician." "Then why not take you samisen with you?" "It's awful!" "Come!" "Hurry!" "This is bad!" "Hurry!" "Are you making a fuss about them?" "No." "It's about a song..." " Will that woman sing for us?" " That's not it." "Seki!" "Look what you're doing." "You're breaking our rule." "You know what happens when you break a rule." "Even stars must observe the rules." "Let's go." "This is what happens." "Don't you understand yet?" "Step aside." "Do you understand or not?" "Which is it?" "Hey Tani, that's enough." "Seki, when you break the rules you're supposed to be ousted from our club" "but Tani punished you instead." "Thanks Tani." "I'm glad you know why I beat you." "Second squad." "Nothing unusual to report." "Third squad." "Nothing unusual to report." "Hurry, or you'll be last." "I won't carry you on my back." "I'm not asking you that." "Let's walk together." "No thanks." "The enemy's main force is 1 0km ahead." "Seemingly, they'll counterattack." "And enemy survivors are hiding around here." "That's all." "Fall in!" "Enemy troops who survived our attack yesterday may join their main force and make a counterattack on us tonight." "So we must attack their headquarters first." "Survivors are hiding in this area." "We'll attack the main force routing the survivors." "That's all." "They found out?" "I can't stay here." "Hey, candy vendor!" "You fought them last night?" "Look!" "It's bad!" "I can't stay!" "Hey, medicine vendor." "What is it?" "The students are coming." "Really?" "I'm not involved." "I'm not involved either." "They're coming to retaliate." "The students." " Don't involve me." " I'm not involved." "The students came to retaliate." "Students are weak." "So many of them!" "It's bad!" "Hey wait!" "We're last again." "Charge!" "This is bad!" "Kneel!" "What counts is winning." "Here I am." "All we've got to do is win." "Ouch!" " You all right?" " Just win." "That's it." "Hey, wait!" "I'm not afraid of anything!" "Wait!" " I led the attack." " Winning is best." "Win when it's really necessary." "Kosaku Matsuda is being drafted." "Let's celebrate it!" "Banzai!" " Let's win the next race." " Yes." "Let's win." "I joined the athletic club." "Can I be a star too?" "You're a star already when you run." " I won't carry you on my back here." " I won't ask you to." "THE END"
