"The rain washed out my business" "I wanted to enjoy your show till evening" "Is that so?" "We've been holding shows here for three days now" "But this long rain..." "So not even one person came for today's matinee" "I see" "I'm sorry to hear that" "It's not easy for us to carry on a business, is it?" "But it won't be bad forever" "The rain'll stop tonight and it'll be fine weather tomorrow" "Let's take it in stride" "Thank you" "Work hard" "Guest" "You haven't an umbrella?" "My inn's so near I won't get wet much" "No, you mustn't!" "Sayuri!" "Our star, Sayuri Ozora" "She'll go with you" "No, no." "Be careful" "That's it" "Goodbye" "Wait a minute" "Your name's Sayuri?" "Like your work?" "Yes, very much!" "Not trying?" "Yes, sometimes" "But I forget it on stages" "That's fine" "That's the spirit" "You'll become a fine actress one day" "Thank you!" "I'd like to become good enough to be on TV" "You will" "Not much but tell the manager to treat the members to sake" "So much!" "Never mind" "On the road, so I can't do much" "Thank you" "Your name, sir" "I'm not great or anything" "I'd be scolded" "I see" "Remember me like this..." "I'm Torajiro Kuruma," "Born in Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo" "People call me Tora, a bird of passage" "You're Mr. Tora?" "That's right" "Thank you." "I'll accept it" "Goodbye" "Train hard!" "Oh!" "I gave her my bid money!" ""I was born and bred in Shibamata, Katsushika"" ""I'm Torajiro Kuruma"" ""People call me Tora"" ""a bird of passage"" ""A no-good brother, Our name I besmear"" ""I know it all too well, My sister dear"" ""I hope one day, To make you happy"" ""If I were great,"" ""You've be proud of me"" ""But no matter how I tried, I could not back the tide"" ""And on my tears..."" ""And on my tears..., The sun sets again"" ""The sun sets again"" "Thank you" "You walked, Mitsuo?" "Good boy" "You walked?" "What's the matter?" "No spirit" "Are you crying?" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "What happened?" "I went to the vegetable shop" "The wife was scolding her son" "He won't mind anyone!" "Then what?" "I only heard his mother's voice" "What do you think she said?" "Study or you'll become like Tora" "Don't buy from her!" "Of course not!" "An old friend, I thought!" "Don't sell her our sweets!" "I won't talk to her!" "That woman!" "But it's not really her fault" "But..." "Maybe it can't be helped" "She couldn't very well tell her son to be like him" "But my brother hasn't done anything" "No!" "He's really gentle!" "Nicer than that woman's husband!" "So why is he insulted?" "It makes me bitter!" "Wasn't that Tora?" "Yes!" "Hard to enter, poor man!" "I thought so" "Isn't Tora back?" "Awful for you!" "My condolences" "Fool!" "Why'd you say that?" "Tora's my only nephew!" "Why can't he come back?" "Yes, it's only natural!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "We were talking about welcoming my brother warmly" "I see" "He'll come!" "Pretend you don't know!" "Can't, with us here?" "I see." "You're right" "You stay" "We'll be in back" "When he comes, let us know" "We'll come out!" "Act your part" "See?" "Let's go!" "Please wait" "Can you?" "Uncle!" "Let's go, Mitsuo" "Welcome home" "You're well?" "Yes." "And you?" "Yes." "Uncle and Aunt?" "They're in" "Uncle!" "Aunt!" "Brother's back!" "What?" "Tora?" "Well!" "Well!" "Tora!" "Welcome back!" "What's the idea?" "Idea?" "We're welcoming you" "What for?" "Is that bad?" "Not too good" "Why?" "A welcome's better?" "Yes, it is!" "But do I deserve to be welcomed?" "What's that?" "Don't talk like that" "It's your idea, Sakura?" "Teasing me because I came?" "No one is!" "Don't twist things!" "Don't quarrel as soon as you meet" "You must have a lot of time to help in this country show!" "Factory closes down?" "Brother!" "That's unlucky!" "I'm a responsible president!" "President" "You're a president?" "That's good!" "Good, good, like an ash-covered cat!" "Brother!" "Shut up!" "I only come once in a while but you're mad!" "I'll see your hubby at that crummy factory!" "Uncle, I bought this back scratcher for you" "I can't stand it" "I'll lie down" "Pillow, bring my Sakura" "No, bring my pillow!" "Hi, laborers!" "Working in spite of the dollar shock?" "Good for you!" "About autumn races?" "Pretty busy?" "You're back?" "Been some time" "Yes." "Why can't they talk like you?" "Anything wrong?" "Lend me an ear" "What the...?" "Why're you laughing?" "Why're you laughing?" "Laughing too?" "What is it?" "What's funny?" "Octopus?" "Brother, look at this" "Call the responsible man!" "Fools!" "It's no joke!" "Cheap ink, that's why!" "It's an insult!" "It's really no joke!" "Laughing again?" "Am I so funny?" "It's pain" "Move, you rat!" "Call Octopus!" "Then there's no problem?" "You think so too?" "He's mad all by himself" "Mad because we welcomed him back" "Isn't he?" "Where'd he go?" "To drink, he said" "Trouble!" "Fujiyama's quitting because Tora hit him!" "Calm him down!" "I can't stand it!" "Not our fault!" "Here." "This is my home" "Like a pigsty but feel at home" "Be at home!" "A fine pigsty, I must say" "Your family's rich" "What's up?" "Who's the beauty over there?" "My sister" "Sister?" "That stupid couple's the hired help" "Say, Sakura, bring some beer" "Don't do it, Sakura" "What?" "Say something, fossil?" "We've got no beer for your likes!" "What's that?" "Making me lose face before them!" "A face like a banged up clog!" "What's up?" "You foolish guy" "Want to fight?" "Please stop!" "Leave it to me, Uncle!" "I'll bring it." "Don't shout" "Say, don't worry." "Relax" "It's my house" "The funny fogy's my hired help" "Here it is!" "Drink up!" "My old friends!" "Met them at a pub in Nippori" "I was broke, so they treated me" "No need to say, no need" "For this matter" "Thank you" "She's nice?" "Not anybody can greet you like her" "She graduated from high school" "Didn't you?" "Has a good voice" "Sing something, Sakura" "We're all ears!" "Don't sing!" "You're not a geisha!" "Shut up, pest!" "Tsune, call the police!" "Tora, behave yourself!" "Shut up!" "Yes, I will" "Like Harumi Miyako or Kiyoko Suizenji?" ""Mother worked in the hours wee,"" ""And knit a pair of mittens for me"" ""For cold the wintry winds would be,"" ""So she kindly knit them for me"" ""The letter from home, it smells"" ""Of firewood and of a story it tells..."" "Where to?" "I'm sorry, Sakura" "Tell them I'm sorry" "Brother!" "I thought I heard Brother's voice" "He's back?" "Where is he?" "He left" "Aunt" "Such unpleasant rain" "I feel so listless" "A telegram?" ""Mother very ill, come home" " Father"" "Coke, please!" "Mitsuo's at home?" "Leaving at once?" "Yes, we'll get there tonight" "Get ready - for the 4 o'clock bullet train" "Take a black dress." "May need it" "Please look after Mitsuo" "All right" "Tell us if you need money" "Thanks." "I think I've enough" "I'll get ready" "Hiroshi's parents..." "In Okayama after the professor retired?" "Really?" "She was refined lady" "Somehow, she didn't seem too happy" "This is Sakura" "How do you do" "I'm Tsuyoshi, the oldest son" "I wanted to meet you but I was so busy..." "I'd been hoping to see you too" "Hiroshi was always rebellious" "Sakie, my wife" "How do you do" "Say, Osamu" "My brother" "How do you do." "I'm Osamu" "How do you do" "From Tokyo?" "Been years, Hiroshi" "Pretty husky now" "Where'd my wife go?" "You talked to Mother?" "Yes, about 30 minutes before she passed away" "I think she knew me" "She said a few words" "Then the doctor stopped her" "It's lucky she didn't suffer much for a terminal disease" "In Hiroshima, I couldn't get here in time" "I'm glad she wasn't in pain long" "Father should've phoned us sooner" "The doctor advised him to" "But he said his sons were working and put it off" "Father's like that" "He hates to bother us?" "Where is he?" "On a manuscript in his study" "Manuscript?" "At a time like this?" "My deepest condolences" "I know how you must feel" "Hiroshi" "My condolences" "I know how you feel" "What?" "Why'd you come here?" "Why?" "I phoned Uncle" "He said the funeral's today" "I'm working in Okayama, so I came" "That's bad?" "No, but your suit..." "It's a funeral" "Yes, but I'm away from home" "How I feel is more important" "Everyone's wearing black" "But I'm on the road..." "You're too fussy!" "What'll we do?" "Excuse me" "Shall I lend you my husband's?" "You're very kind" "Brother" "It's all right." "Yours is..." "Thanks you, Madame" "I know you are all very busy" "I thank you for coming to offer incense to my wife" "You were very good to my late wife" "Please permit me to thank you in her place" "Thank you very much" "What?" "No!" "Are you ready?" "Are you ready?" "How about a picture together?" "Yes, a rare get together" "Father in the middle" "Good priest beside him" "Yasuko!" "Tomoyasu!" "Come here" "Line up" "You too" "I see" "Look this way, Yasuko" "You take the picture" "Yes, since I'm a distant relative" "I'll take it" "You will?" "Then..." "Please!" "Just push this" "This one?" "It's set" "All right then, everybody" "Now, smile!" "What are you saying?" "How could you!" "Smile in front of her grave?" "I see!" "I'm sorry!" "Careless of me!" "Once more!" "Now, cry!" "You take us!" "Through" "One more!" "Let me!" "You do it?" "Fine" "Release!" "Fine" "Stop it!" "Sorry" "Itjust like make fun on me!" "But the words just popped out, you see" "Your brother smiled when I said it" "Maybe he's not sad" "That was nothing" "What'll you do with this place?" "What do you mean?" "If you come to live with us, it will become vacant" "I'd like to add more rooms to my house" "I can if you sell this place" "I intend to live here" "Alone?" "Yes." "I'm checking the old books of" "Shorenji Temple with the priest" "It's interesting work" "It'll take form 5 to 10 years" "Old Mrs. Yokoyama will look after me" "I was born in this house" "Won't it be inconvenient?" "No one can look after you like Mother did" "A real helpmate" "She never complained" "Don't look at me!" "Should he?" "She was special" "A model Japanese woman." "Wasn't she?" "She was very unselfish" "Yes" "There's no limit to what we want" "A car, TV, cooler" "Even that's not enough now" "Perhaps Mother was happier her way" "Yes" "It was her good point?" "You know, the Bible says," "Blessed are the poor" "Christ was great" "Brother" "Do you really believe that?" "Mother...to say she was really happy" "How can you say it?" "She wasn't!" "Hiroshi, we just laid Mother to rest" "Don't say that" "That's why I say it!" "Let Hiroshi say it" "What've you getting at?" "To say Mother had no ambitions is a lie!" "When I was in grade school, she took me to the harbor sometimes" "She's watch the ships" "And she's say her girlish dream had been to go abroad in a ship" "She wanted to dance in an evening dress at a fine party" "But she gave up her dream when she married Father" "I remember she smiled when she told me" "She wanted a grand romance" "And wanted to live in the city!" "She was just resigned to her fate!" "Stop it!" "You didn't even go to college and made her worry the most!" "So...so I wanted her to live with us when I had my own house" "I wanted her to, at least, live in Tokyo" "But I couldn't do it!" "Not going to college is so bad?" "Only college graduates can talk?" "Hiroshi, I know how you feel" "She'd be happy if she heard you" "But saying Mother was unhappy is going too far!" "Do you know what her last words were?" "Mother said she had no regrets" "Those were her last labored words" "She lied to you all until the very end" "Lied?" "What proof do you have to say that?" "If she didn't lie and really thought that..." "I'm even sorrier for her!" "Isn't it so?" "A lonely life, no more than Father's maid!" "If she thought it happiness...!" "Nothing...nothing could be more pathetic!" "It's begun to rain" "The 9 o'clock train" "Call a cab" "We must be going" "Hiroshi loved his mother" "He never mentioned it" "I'm sorry for his father" "I know how Hiroshi feels, but..." "The professor's alone?" "Yes, it was so hard to leave him" "Why not phone his father?" "About what?" "What about?" "That you're back" "Ask him if he isn't lonely" "He'll be happy" "Yes, do that" "Tonight..." "No, now!" "We don't mind phone charges" "Yes" "Be hurry" "I see." "You're very kind" "The phone number's there" "I asked Hiroshi" "What happened to Tora?" "We parted" "He's doing business there" "An easy-going life" "Isn't he the happiest man?" "Oh, yes" "Hello" "Yes, the Suwa home" "I'm Hiroshi's wife" "You're Sakura?" "What?" "Brother?" "Using a high-toned voice!" ""I'm Hiroshi's wife," my foot!" "Don't laugh!" "Why are you there?" "What?" "Worried about Father?" "Yes" "I dropped by after work" "He seemed lost" "So I came in to cheer him up" "Old and alone, so I'm looking after him" "I stay and look after him" "I'm bothering him?" "Don't be funny, he's inconveniencing me" "I've a pile of work but I'm keeping him company" "It's all right, so you needn't worry" "Anything interesting come up?" "I'm bored!" "Running up the phone bill?" "Have it your way!" "Yes, yes, I'll tell him." "I know" "Yes, yes." "Yes, yes" "Tora" "What do you want to eat tonight?" "Let's see...fish last night" "Meat today?" "Good beef here?" "I don't know, but I'm going" "Your housekeeper?" "She said she'd return tomorrow but her daughter had hard time..." "A bother" "I forgot!" "Buy Sake, Professor!" "I drank it all" "It was mild sake" "Dry or local sake's better" "I guess I'll tag along" "I'm going with you!" ""The sun sets." "As I pick flowers in the field..."" "Torajiro" "You like to travel?" "Yes, it's fun." "I wouldn't quit for anything" "About that..." "You're alone and lonely, so I'd like to stay with you" "But my work's piled up" "So I'd like to leave tomorrow" "I see." "That's too bad" "I'm sorry" "You've been a great help" "Not at all!" "You'll have a hard time alone" "Excuse me but I think your sons are cold" "I'll give Hiroshi a piece of my mind" "Where do you intend to go?" "Where?" "It'll get cold, so it's south, I guess" "I have it easy" "And I'm not tied down with a family" ""Who doesn't think of home...?"" "Torajiro" "You're not tied down with a family?" "No" "Don't sing that song" "It happened 10 years ago" "I took a trip to Azumino in Shinshu" "You took a trip too?" "Yes, I missed a bus and as I walked along the country road, sun set" "I felt lonely on the dark road" "A fox came out?" "Disguised as a beautiful girl" "No, it's not like that" "There was a Ione farm house" "Gentians were blooming everywhere in the yard" "The shutters were open" "I saw the family eating in the brightly lit dining room" "One child wasn't at the table" "I could hear the mother calling his name" "I recall that scene very clearly even now" "Gentians blooming in the yard" "A brightly lit dining room" "A happy family eating supper..." "I thought it was the true picture of real life" "And suddenly I found myself in tears" "Man can't live by himself alone" "Don't defy life" "Don't go against fate" "If you don't realize this, you'll be unfortunate all your life" "You understand?" "Understand?" "Yes, I do" "Very well" ""You're fast asleep,"" ""so I won't wake you"" ""I appreciate your advice last night"" ""I'll gratefully cherish your words and return to Shibamata"" ""I will live without defying my fate"" ""Please take care of yourself and become happy"" ""Torajiro Kuruma"" "Excuse me" "I'm Takako Rokuhara" "I've opened a coffee shop near the..." "At the end of the street?" "Yes." "I'm new here, so I may need your kind help" "I hope you won't mind" "Not at all" "This is Sakura, my niece" "She lives near here" "How do you do" "Please come over for some coffee sometime" "This is just a little something" "Thank you" "Excuse me" "Thank you" "Thank you for coming!" "I didn't even offer you tea" "Excuse me" "Isn't it nice?" "Why?" "Tora's not here" "He usually is" "Isn't he?" "Yes, he always comes back saying, "I'm back"" "Uncle, I'm back" "Folks, I'm really sorry about last time" "What?" "Never mind" "You well, Sakura?" "Yes" "You came from Okayama?" "Yes" "I've been doing a lot of thinking" "Thinking back, I've lived defying my fate" "Fate?" "Yes, the fate of human beings" "How about coming in back?" "Anyway, hear my story, Uncle" "About gentians blooming..." "Some sweets..." "Yes" "How's that?" "Uncle" "Change your clothes first!" "Let's have tea!" "Yes, upstairs." "It's clean" "Thanks." "Such warm-hearted people" "Brother!" "Go" "Thanks." "Such warm-hearted people" "Yes" "The guest wants sweets" "A bit busy, so..." "I'm sorry." "You're busy" "Not at all" "A box of sweets" "I heard they're very good" "It's dirty!" "My son likes them" "How old is he?" "He's in 3rd grade" "Yes?" "Two hundred dollars" "Thank you very much" "Excuse me" "Thank you" "Thanks" "My heart pounded so!" "But they'll meet one day!" "So can't we do something?" "You say that..." "I've got some special feeling" "Say, where to?" "I don't feel so well" "I thought I'd go out for a cup of coffee" "Coffee?" "I saw a fancy little shop on my way here" "No, coffee's bad for you!" "Yes, very bad!" "I'll make strong tea!" "It will be better" "Really?" "You will?" "You're very kind" "I've good tea" "Hi, what are you doing here?" "Coffee is not good for you" "For instance, I'm walking along a path in the paddy field at sunset" "In the yard, gentians are blooming and inside the farmhouse" "Under a bright light, the happy parents and kids are eating supper" "Isn't that the true picture of real life?" "You" "Well, yes, it is" "It's true." "What a wonderful thing to say" "I've been thinking a lot" "Why're you so impressed by a family eating supper?" "Yes, everybody eats supper" "It's notjust eating" "Gentians are blooming in the yard" "We have some too" "A bright light" "We all have lights at night" "No understanding!" "I hate uneducated people" "We can't communicate" "Right?" "Well..." "You mean that happiness can be found in the lives of common people?" "Yes" "In other words, we've a life cut out for us?" "Yes" "You don't understand?" "Looking back, I lived a long time defying fate" "Think so?" "I don't think you have" "Yes, I have!" "Ever since I was 16" "So what do you want to do?" "What cold words!" "Do I have to tell you that?" "Having dinner under the warm light" "No!" "No!" "Don't you see?" "You, Sakura?" "In a word, you want to get married?" "What?" "It's awkward if you put it so plainly" "I'm not so very young" "And I don't make much money" "So she doesn't have to be a girl from a good family" "Let's say..." "She can even have a kid" "I'd rather it's not a bothersome baby" "But a smart boy in third grade in grammer school would be fine" "It's a warm family life" "So, Uncle and Aunt..." "Is there a suitable one for me?" "No, absolutely not!" "Absolutely...?" "How can you say that?" "Sakura?" "It's a difficult request" "What's difficult about it?" "Nothing" "Hi, Tora!" "Back?" "See h...?" "See who?" "No, it's..." "You want me to see somebody?" "It's...the priest" "I haven't seen him" "I see." "I could ask his advice" "I'll do that." "Thanks" "Temple bell?" "I feel something nice will happen tomorrow" "Yes" "Good night" "What'll happen now?" "They'll meet one day" "Bound to be in this small place." "Aren't they?" "What's up?" "What's the matter?" "School stuff and all" "What is it?" "Go home or your mother will worry" "No spirit at all" "Manabu" "He's your son?" "Yes" "Anew school, so he doesn't want to go" "Your teacher phoned you left early" "What happened?" "He'll get used to the school" "Do you think so?" "You're new here?" "Yes." "It's a nice, quite place, isn't it?" "It's become noisy recently" "Is that so?" "Not many places like this are left" "What's going to happen to our cities?" "Yes, really" "If you'll excuse me..." "Don't make your mother worry, Sonny" "Excuse me" "Excuse me" "He's gentle, isn't he?" "Two 200 yen boxes!" "Who is it?" "Who do you mean?" "Calm down" "Calm down?" "I am calm!" "So they met after all?" "I can tell by his eyes" "Don't tell him anything" "Awful if he hears about her shop" "I know, I know" "Hi, Tora" "President." "You're here?" "You know?" "No, I don't!" "I haven't asked anything yet!" "Oh, I see" "A little past 31 or 32" "The most bewitching eyes..." "Know a widow with a son in grade school?" "No, I don't!" "I've no idea at all!" "I see" "How do you know she's a widow?" "Now that you say so, I'm not sure whether she is or not" "Women don't have kids alone" "No, they can't" "Time to eat, Tora" "Tora!" "I won't" "I will" "I won't" "I will" "I'll see her again" "It hurts" "Stepped on a nail" "We meet again?" "Please laugh at me" "I intended never to see you again" "Here" "No, I know" "What?" "Fool!" "Why?" "Why wear a kimono?" "Why can't I?" "It made me make a mistake!" "Angry?" "Octopus!" "Laughing at me!" "Brother!" "Fool!" "Why'd you laugh?" "Sorry, sorry" "Laughing!" "With your face!" "Is anything wrong?" "He's flippant!" "Oh, you're...!" "You live here?" "Yes, we moved here recently" "Some coffee?" "I'm sorry." "My sister's outside" "I'm so slow!" "Brother." "Over here" "Sick?" "No, no" "Lie down?" "Pillow, get my Sakura" "What's wrong?" "He met her" "Supper, Brother" "Pull yourself together" "Are you worried about me?" "Yes, I am" "Don't worry" "I'm not as big a fool to love someone's wife" "I just told my other self so" "Did your other self agree to it?" "Finally" "That's good" "Excuse me" "Oh, welcome" "I told him to come alone but he won't" "He's in 3rd grade but he's timid" "No wonder." "He's new here yet" "Here you are" "Thank you" "Thank you, leaving already?" "How do you do" "Thanks a while ago" "Oh...you live here?" "He's my brother" "Oh, my, is that so?" "I didn't know!" "Everyone here is so good to me" "No, they're all country people and not much help" "You're wrong!" "Are you going to school, Sonny?" "Say, "Hello"" "A boy but he's so timid I'm worried" "He'll be full of life soon" "Do you think so?" "It's my one worry" "Excuse me" "Please come over when you have time" "Excuse me" "Excuse me..." "Yes?" "My regards to Sonny's Daddy" "You see, my husband died about three yeas ago" "He has only me" "Excuse me" "I feel hungry" "Let's eat!" "Let's all cheer up!" "It's not your fault, president" "It had to happen" "If I hadn't gone into that shop..." "Never mind." "No use worrying" "Let's be cheerful too" "I see." "Business is bad?" "It's so bad" "No good at all" "No good?" "It's the "dollar shock"" "I see." "That's too bad" "Tora." "Going out?" "Yes, for a while" "All right" "I see." "It's hit my business pretty hard too" "A big shock" "My family and I - we meant to hang ourselves" "You did?" "Too sad to listen" "What'll become of world economy?" "Fool!" "That's too hard for me" "It's true" "He's gone." "He's gone" "What a relief" "What now?" "A big headache" "Yes." "Feel for me" "I won't last long" "You laughed?" "No, no, not about you!" "It was about me!" "No reason to!" "Why then?" "It wasn't about you" "Yes, yes" "What is it?" "They laughed when I left" "That's bad" "Isn't it so?" "What's bad about drinking coffee?" "Did I say coffee?" "No, you didn't!" "Didn't hear you!" "Then how'd you know?" "It's funny" "Never mind" "Always gossiping" "Never mind" "A coffee shop in front of the station too" "At the station..." "I'll go there" "Going around?" "Yes." "He's a fool" "Excuse me." "Buy flowers?" "Not today" "Next time then" "Thanks" "A complete fool" "What're you doing?" "Let's have some coffee!" "Let's go!" "Later" "Let's go!" "Oh, my..." "I Welcome!" "Hello" "I'm so glad you came together" "You see, she said she wanted to drink coffee and dragged me" "Always making me treat her" "Coffee?" "Coffee" "You two are so close." "I envy you" "We're not really" "Come over here" "I have a brother too" "But we can't get along" "We hardly see each other" "We don't either" "She's right." "It's true" "We're like strangers, you and me" "Seeing you on the street I wouldn't know you" "Are you well?" "Yes" "I see." "That's fine" "Oh..." "Then your home...?" "My brother's a vagabond" "I see." "Is that so?" "You love the place your sister lives?" "Do you?" "Why?" "This crummy town" "No pubs and no pretty women" "Not this meaning" "Hello" "Welcome" "Hello" "Welcome" "Hello" "Welcome" "All together?" "Cigarettes, please" "Brand?" "Hi-lite" "Yes" "Put the money here" "Thank you" "I'll do it" "If you would, please" "They're a nuisance" "Staying all day over a cup of coffee" "That's not so" "They don't get paid much" "Sakura, pay for them" "Excuse me" "But your coffee..." "I don't care for it much" "Is that so?" "Don't stay too long" "No." "Thanks" "Thanks" "He's generous, isn't he?" "Leaving all his money" "No..." "Say!" "What's the matter?" "No spirit" "They won't play with you?" "Right?" "Doing babyish things!" "I'll teach you something that's more fun" "Ready?" "Follow me!" "I'll go steal some cakes" "You watch here!" "Get me?" "Who is it?" "Run for it!" "I stole them!" "Taste good" "You come too!" "Groovy?" "Was it fun?" "Come on up!" "Give you more!" "Hello!" "I played with Tora on the bank!" "I'm thirsty!" "Just look at you." "Blood too!" "I don't care." "We're thirsty" "Me, juice." "You?" "Fruitjuice!" "Coke!" "Beer!" "My back aches!" "He's fat and rode on my back!" "He couldn't even talk in front of others and he had no friends" "I thought it was because he had no father" "So I'd almost given up, thinking I couldn't do anything alone" "Alone and helpless" "So when he returned all dirty and full of scratches..." "And said excitedly he'd played with you..." "I was so surprised" "I'd never seen him so happy" "I see" "And he made 3 friends who are such fun" "The sign painter's son and geisha house boy?" "They're interesting children" "They've no brains." "What'll become of them?" "The poor parents" "Please play with him from now on too" "Manabu hasn't had anyone to play with him for several years" "That's easy" "I sort of play all year round" "But you're busy here?" "You mean this shop?" "It's half the hobby of an old couple in their sunset years" "It's not!" "It's true" "Talking about closing early today on account of a headache" "Hard to deal with" "That's too bad." "Take care of them" "Yes, they're doddering with age" "Running a shop myself I know" "It's not easy for your uncle" "I think his life was unhappy" "You're joking" "It's true." "It is" "Tora" "What's up?" "Thank you for everything" "Excuse me" "Leaving?" "Please come to the shop again" "I'll see you a ways" "Don't bother, please" "You don't mind?" "It's painful" "What is it?" "My foot feels numb" "Excuse me" "I'm sorry." "Please come again" "Please be careful." "Excuse me" "My pleasure" "You are welcome at any time" "Thank you" "Please be careful, see you" "What are you talking about?" "How dare you kill me!" "I didn't." "I just said your life was an unhappy one" "Exaggerating!" "Don't talk like that!" "Shut up!" "All right if I apologize?" "Hurry up then!" "I'll apologize" "Granddad died happy" "Okay?" "Granddad!" "Bad for your heart!" "Shut up!" "Tora, my life would've been very happy!" "If it wasn't for you!" "That's true" "We're unhappy because of you!" "Apologize, Tora!" "Shut up!" "You're saying that, Uncle?" "It's the end if you" "Sure, it's the end!" "How can you say that?" "Come to help" "That does it!" "Calm down" "Brother!" "Shut up!" "Get out!" "What do you mean it's the end?" "I mean not to see you anymore" "Calm down!" "How can I, fool?" "Talk it over" "Can't, to a fool!" "Uncle" "What?" "Tell me, Uncle!" "Are you saying we're not uncle and nephew any more?" "Yes!" "I see." "You won't regret it later?" "No!" "It'd be nice and pleasant!" "Fine!" "Fine!" "I'll never come here again!" "You can't make me!" "Who'd let you?" "I won't stay!" "Tora" "Don't stop me, Sakura!" "She's not here!" "What'll you do?" "How'd it happen?" "I don't know!" "Both fools!" "Tsune, rub my back!" "See?" "I told you so!" "Bring some water!" "I'm sorry" "He's walking this way" "Put up somewhere last night" "He's still here?" "Making us all worry!" "Stay in back." "You're not stern enough!" "Here he comes!" "Pretend you don't know!" "Good morning" "Serves him right!" "How long will you keep it up?" "Until I die!" "It's a rotten world" "Stop it!" "Tora!" "Hungry?" "Everybody!" "What is it?" "School lunch!" "The butter's no good!" "We hid it for you." "Eat it!" "It's very kind of you" "Come to play" "Come" "What was your specialty at the university?" "Ancient Indian philosophy" "India?" "I see." "India?" "That's great" "Hiroshi!" "Come over here!" "Welcome" "Are you well?" "Tsune!" "Ash tray!" "Ash tray!" "Here's one" "We have one!" "Never mind!" "What happened to Torajiro?" "Tora?" "I'm sorry it slipped my mind" "I think he bothered you" "Is he well?" "Yes, he's lolling around here" "He heard something funny while away" "So as soon as he returned..." "What was it?" "About gentians..." "Gentians and a bright room..." "Yes, yes, that's it." "Talking a lot of nonsense" "Some irresponsible man told him" "Simple-minded, so he gets fooled easily" "Isn't it so?" "Yes" "Who ever told him..." "A nuisance" "Frankly, I told him" "Is that so?" "The professor's here?" "Tora?" "I'm glad!" "Come here!" "Professor" "Come in" "Have you been well?" "You seem well too" "Yes, thank you" "I dropped in here and they pressed me to stay, so..." "They treat me very well" "Time pass by" "Uncle?" "Yes, that's right" "They are fine" "Your housekeeper came back?" "She hit her hip and can't move" "So I asked Mrs. Goto" "That neighbor?" "She's helping me" "I know." "Rather charming for her age" "Pretty neat, Professor" "Drinking together with flowers in the yard?" "Carrying out your idea of real human life?" "Don't be rude!" "Don't worry" "He's not narrow-minded" "Is he?" "What?" "What a face!" "It's your own father!" "You're no fun at all!" "Come already?" "Welcome" "Mitsuo, come here" "It's your grandfather!" "Your grandfather" "See?" "He has a gentle face?" "Don't look so stern." "Look gentle" "Your grandson." "Takes after you?" "Don't be rude" "Can't help it." "It's the truth" "You never liked him, Hiroshi?" "He's scary" "Talk to him!" "Isn't he nice, Mitsuo?" "Grandfather smiled" "SAKURA" "When'd he...?" "When you were buying tickets" "He said to buy Mitsuo something" "It's so much" "His gift." "Keep it" "Why did Father come here?" "About his university, he said" "Wasn't thatjust an excuse?" "Why?" "Doesn't he really want to live with you?" "Father's lonely alone" "I thought so somehow" "But we can't have him come here" "And we can't go home." "Can you do it?" "Can't, can you?" ""The sun sets, As I pick flowers in the field"" "Where will it end?" "I hope it's settled soon" "Do something" "My brother's thought it all out this time" "It's all right" "It's not all right" "Here he is" "I'm going" "Go!" "Did you hear him?" "Always like that" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "Welcome" "I'll get it" "Sorry" "Hello, Roku Coffee Shop" "The Modern Company?" "Modern Company" "Thanks" "Hello" "I sent you the interest through my bank" "Guarantee money?" "That wasn't the promise!" "You didn't say so at the time of the contract!" "Then you as good as fooled me!" "Isn't it so?" "You told me at the time of contract!" "Don't insult me!" "I'm sorry." "Excuse me" "Are you in trouble?" "If money can take care of it...if it's only money..." "Let's play!" "Sonny, your mother's having a hard time" "So you must help her" "Now, go home" "The first island was Awaji Island, the first thief, Goyemo" "Next, Ni means Two and Nikichi's a man" "Bad men like Danjo sleep well" "Listen, come on buy" "No?" "Osen died in Mishima?" "Permit?" "Permit?" "Sorry to bother you" "I'm desperate!" "If no one buys, I'll have to give up!" "Hara-kiri maybe like samurai!" "Take it." "It's cheap" "Don't play pinballs and read books sometimes!" "No?" "All poor people!" "Don't buy then!" "Where else are they so cheap?" "Thanks" "Permit?" "Thanks" "Permit?" "I'm closing" "Lousy books" "Mother" "Going to Yoshi's place!" "Doing homework together!" "Don't stay too late." "Come home at 9" "Who is it?" "Who's there?" "It's me" "It's you, Tora?" "Why're you standing there?" "Come in" "I'm glad you came!" "Please come in" "No, no bother at all" "I'll make tea" "Leaving right away" "Please" "Did you want something?" "No" "I went to see the night fair and found this" "Oh, my!" "Gentians!" "I'm so happy!" "I love them!" "Is that so?" "That's fine" "Thank you" "So beautiful!" "Gentians look beautiful with the moonlight on them" "Is that so?" "Is anything wrong?" "If something's troubling you, please let me know" "As you know, I can't do much" "But a finger or two..." "No, an arm or leg" "I don't mind parting with them for you" "Please tell me" "Is there someone you don't like?" "Thanks" "Thanks very much" "I so happy!" "I really am!" "It's all right" "I have trouble but I can take care of it alone somehow" "So please don't worry" "But your warm feelings make me really happy" "Words like yours..." "No one has ever said them to me before" "There's a beautiful moon" "When you see a moon like this on your trip, you remember Shibamata?" "Yes" "It's nice to travel" "MY chosen work, so I can't gripe" "But it's harder than it seems" "It is?" "Yes" "For example...?" "Well..." "When I'm walking alone at sunset along a country path" "Gentians are blooming everywhere" "Under a bright light, a family is eating supper" "Watching them from behind a fence..." "It strikes me as the true life of real human beings" "I understand" "You're lonely then?" "So I drink at a pub with a sour-faced waitress to serve me" "Then I sleep in paper-thin bedding at a tradesmen's inn" "And when I can't sleep," "I hear the whistle of a passing train" "In the morning, the sound of clogs wake me" "For a moment, I wonder where I am" "Then I remember I'm in Kochi, Shikoku" "At times like that," "I think of Sakura and Aunt ion the kitchen" "And wonder if they're chopping vegetables for soup" "How nice" "I envy you" "I'd like to take trips like that" "You would?" "Ever since I was in high school" "If I liked someone..." "And if he were an actor..." "I'd go from place to place with him, our baby strapped to the back" "Without money, we'd be hungry" "And we'd walk in the rain without an umbrella" "But sometimes some happy event would make us laugh aloud" "Aren't trips nice?" "I'd like to go now!" "I'd abandon a shop like this" "Isn't it so?" "Yes, it is" "I see." "When?" "I wonder" "That time?" "What time?" "When the winds beckon me?" "I'll go suddenly one day" "I envy you." "I'd like to go to" "Is that so?" "It's nothing to envy, really" "The phone" "Excuse me." "Please stay." "I'll make tea" "Hello, this is Roku" "The landlord?" "I'm sorry to be late" "I meant to phone and apologize" "Yes, I'll pay through my bank tomorrow" "I understand." "Good night" "I'm sorry!" "Some tea..." "Tora" "An unpleasant wind's blowing" "It's cold tonight!" "I'm sorry Hiroshi has to work overtime!" "No" "Come in" "Any good news?" "No" "Only Tora's having it good?" "Isn't it about time a handsome man steps in?" "It always happens" "Yes, it always does" "This time too?" "Jilted again" "Fool!" "Do you have to shout?" "Can't help it" "Going away again?" "Why?" "I'm a fool but I know when it's time to leave" "It'll be more painful if I stay" "And I know I'd bother you" "It's end like it always does anyway" "You were thinking that?" "I guess so" "Sakura" "What?" "Do you envy the way I live?" "Ever thought of it?" "Yes" "I'd like to make you worry about me for a change" "In a warmer on a cold winter night..." "I'd like you to wonder where I am" "And worry about me" "I see" "I'm sorry, Sakura" "Where to?" "Wait a minute!" "Uncle." "Aunt." "Please be happy" "What's that?" "Tora!" "Tora!" "A strong wind!" "Don't go tonight!" "No!" "Thanks" "I'm sorry." "I bother you all the time" "Brother" "Go and stop him!" "Yes!" "Brother!" "Uncle and Aunt want you back!" "Right out in front, so we think he'll come in but he goes" "Then he returns slowly, looking in from the corner..." "He walk slowly outside" "Actually, he can just come in and say "I'm back"" ""Dear Madame:" "Are you well?"" ""I am ashamed to remember my days in Shibamata"" ""I am spending my days now in reflecting"" ""Sakura, my sister"" ""And my old uncle and aunt"" ""They know little about the world"" ""But they are my only kin"" ""Please advise and encourage them"" ""I'm on the road and pray for your happiness"" ""as I put down pen"" ""From Torajiro Kuruma"" "Thanks for the tea!" "I'm leaving!" "Where are you going, traveler?" "Let me see..." "It'll get cold, so I'd better go south?" "I've an easy life" "Luck to you!" "Thanks!" "Mr. Tora!" "It's me!" "We met in Shikoku!" "I'm Sayuri!" "Sayuri!" "The day it rained?" "Yes!" "How do you do" "You're that kind guest!" "You're well and all the members of the troupe are well?" "Yes, we're still putting on shows, thank you" "I see" "That's fine." "That's really fine" "Mr..." "What?" "Please get on!" "No" "Yes, it's dirty but please...!" "All right, thank you" "Your inn?" "I travel wherever my feet take me." "An easy life" "Will you stay with us tonight then and watch our show?" "That'd be nice" "As nice as a cat's fur full of ashes..."
