"Toei Company, Ltd." "Presents" "Jun'ai Monogatari AKA Story of Pure Love" "Directed by Imai Tadashi" "This is the rear gate of Tokyo." "Morning also comes to this human dust pile." "Morning gives man the hope to live." "They love to talk about their hopeful future." "No one remembers the incident that occurred here." "But this young lad will never forget it." "It happened two years ago..." "Here." "I'll lend you a blanket for a fee." "Aren't they your family members?" "No, they're strangers." "She's leaving early." "She's going on a job-hunt." "Darn!" "But she's slick for a kid." "Will you have sympathy for me?" "Hand over what you stole." "What are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb!" "What?" "You lost it?" "Who took it from you?" "It's someone I've never seen before." "Welcome!" "Hi!" "When did you come back?" "Just this morning." "I see." "It's been a long time." "Welcome!" "Hi!" "He's the boss around here." "Who?" "En." "I've never heard of him." "Let me introduce you to him." "Say En, this is Kanbo the "Tugboat. "" "He got into trouble so he had to go away." "Is this the guy?" "Yeah." "Give it back to Ichi." "You should know what I'm talking about." "I lost my money to a pickpocket this morning." "That's what you get for not being alert." "Well, the same to him!" "Let's settle this once and for all." "Will you put yourself in my shoes?" "Stop." "He gets out of hand when he's mad." "Just have a seat." "He caused a riot two years ago." "Guys, will you forget about it and have a drink on me?" "You've just come back." "Be careful, will you?" "Why are you protecting him?" "He brought me food many times when he was still a kid." "That means nothing." "Ouch!" "Where are we going?" "Just come along." "We've got a gal waiting." "Do you guys pick up gals, too?" "No." "She's in our gang." "She lost her touch and blundered." "So she's scared now and wants to quit." "It's a farewell party for her." "So she wants out." "She's got guts." "We've already struck a deal to sell her off." "Come." "I'll let you in on it." "Where is she?" "Upstairs of a vacant house." "Not up to it?" "I'll go." "What are you doing?" "You wanted out, so we'll let you out." "We'll teach you a new job." "How about having some fun with us?" "You don't want to?" "Just do as we say." "Do you give up?" "If you'll let us have a good time, we'll untie you." "You can pick one of us as your husband." "That would be to your best interest here." "Hey, Tugboat." "Do it with her in front of us." "Is that why you invited me along?" "You get to go first." "You should be grateful." "Watch him do it, guys." "Show us some action." "Are you running away?" "Catch her!" "Just do it with her." "Ouch!" "You killed him!" "Everyone, scram!" "Come on, let's go." "Look, he's walking." "Do you always wash yourself here?" "I used to play here." "I used to come here in the summer, too." "We never met, did we?" "Why are you called Tugboat?" "I used to ride on one with my dad." " A boat?" " A tanker." "Where?" "Does it matter where?" "Edo-gawa." "There are still the same kind of tugboats in Shinkawa." "Let me wipe my hands on this." "That's my shirt!" "Don't be like that." "It'll be the same when it dries." "I'll stretch out the wrinkles for you." "Hey!" "I'm washing it for you." "Don't complain." "It smells." "So you're mad." "Shut up!" "Did you quit sailing?" "My dad died." "I sure worked hard." "We'd leave at 4:00 in the morning and go up the dark river." "There would still be stars shining in the skies." "That sounds nice." "What is it?" "You're so calm, as if nothing happened." "You should mend your torn blouse first." "Do you always sleep here?" "I'm sorry about earlier." "I wasn't supposed to ask you about your past." "No one likes to talk about their past." "I'm leaving this place tomorrow." "It's hard to find a job without a guarantor." "I searched hard for a job at the foot of the mountain." "No one will hire you." "They don't trust me." "You'll just have to open your own business." "I don't have that kind of money on me." "You have to earn it, fool." "Doing what?" "And don't call me a fool." "Do you want to be slapped?" "Damn you." "I'm really going to do it if you aren't decisive." "You should talk." "Get a grip, will you?" "What?" "What is it?" "I'm good at doing somersaults." "Shall I show you?" "Will you be quiet?" "I can't go to sleep." "Well?" "Go away." "I'm going to sleep now." "Will you be my partner?" "I was planning to go straight since I was scared." "I've lost my touch lately." "Don't go back to them." "They were talking about selling you off." "After all that they squeezed out of me..." "If I stay with that stingy guy, he'll suck my blood dry." "That's what made me want to leave this place." "They'll be here tomorrow to settle the score with you." "Do you have any friends to help you?" "You'll get beaten up." "Would you like to work with me?" "You can make easy money." "If you're with me..." "I'll work with you just one day." "Will you really?" "So, go." "I'll be at Amevoko-cho." "I'll see you in the morning." "My wallet is missing." "This customer was on the fourth floor and..." "My wallet was stolen." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Shall we check around?" "I see Kimi-chan." "Kimi-chan!" "Hey!" "What did you do?" "Murder." "You'll get a hefty sentence then." "No, don't do that." "Please give me a break." "Hey!" "Hayakawa!" "How have you been?" "I haven't seen you in a while." "Family Court Juvenile Judgment Section" "What is your name?" "Miyauchi Mitsuko." "What is your date of birth?" "March 3, 1938." "1938?" "Aren't you mistaken?" "Isn't it 1939?" "Yes, it's 1939." "So your father died in a war when you were two." "Your mother worked as a traveling insurance salesman." "Yes." "You were living with your grandmother back then and your mother was sending you your living expenses." "How old were you?" "Five or six." "Your grandmother died when you were seven." "so you went to live with your aunt after that." "That's right." "It says here that your aunt was sick and bedridden." "Were you helping your uncle with the noodle business." "Yes." "What was wrong with your aunt?" "She had too many children, so she would lose her sanity. every so often." "The doctor said she had cancer and was incurable." "they called in a sorcerer." "But she didn't get better." "So she felt badly towards my uncle." "He would yell at her and tell her that she would get better if she got up and worked." "So that made it hard for you to stay there." "Why did you run away?" "I stole some food and ate it." "He would only give me leftover noodles to eat." "So at midnight, when I was cleaning up, I got dizzy." "I couldn't bear it anymore so I stole some food to eat." "And?" "He caught me and dragged me around by my hair." "He called me a thieving cat!" "Who is Hayakawa Kantaro?" "My accomplice." "What kind of friend is he to you?" "He's sort of an assistant." "But he's better at it than you." "He's bold." "I'm not praising him." "He's not a decent guy, is he?" "I guess so... since he's my friend." "So I wouldn't say he's straight." "Do you have a special relationship with him?" "No." "Were you going to split the money with him?" "Yes." "He said he's protect me until I went straight." "He said my gang was like a bunch of dogs that would attack me when I let my guard down." "Maybe he was just trying to be your pimp." "Maybe he just wanted to put you to work." "That's a common trick that girls fall for." "You're a smart girl with an IQ of 124." "You must not associate with him anymore." "I'm escaping." "Kugahama is next." "I want to use the bathroom." "Hey!" "Are you all right?" "Will you brace yourself?" "Ms. Kojima, she's faking it." "Do you mean Mitsuko?" "She faints when she wants to slack off." "And she doesn't even look guilty." "Isn't that funny?" "Would you like to sing to it?" "I love this song." "I want to have a good talk with you tonight." "I want to have a heart to heart talk with you." "Why should we talk?" "I want to help you." "But I won't force you." "We can just sing songs and have fun together." "Do you like that song?" "I know that song, too." "You have to sing it in a deep voice." "Like this." "You're good." "Can you dance?" "A little." "Shall we dance?" "So you can do anything." "What makes you say that?" "You can play basketball, tennis, ping pong..." "I'm not too good at dancing." "Teach me how to dance." "Let's dim the lights to get in the mood." "All right." "You're good." "You're a liar." "Have you danced with someone before?" "Who?" "My lover." "How was it?" "Well, it wasn't bad." "What were you wearing?" "A long Chinese dress." "I was in Peking during the war." "What happened to him?" "Well, he..." "I'll tell you about it the next time." "Did he die?" "No." "Did you break up with him?" "He got married." "Why?" "He thought I died." "On his way back, he fell seriously ill." "He married the girl that nursed him." "I found that out later." "But now, I'm happy to be with you all." "There are more unfortunate people than me." "Let's dance more." "Are you tired of dancing?" "It's no fun to dance with another woman." "It's disgusting." "Did you hear the stories from the Old Miss?" "What did she tell you?" ""But now, I'm happy to be with you all. "" "She shouldn't put us on the same level as her." "She's just an old maid." "We can't waste our youth, canned in here." "Is she coming?" "She's here." "What's the matter?" "She's feeling sick again." "Can she get medicine?" "Do you have a fever?" "What are you doing?" "Run for it!" "Sensei!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Sensei!" "Stop it!" "Everyone, run for it!" "Stop them!" "Calm down, all of you!" "Quiet down!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "What's going on here?" "Everyone, quiet down!" "They tricked Sensei today and..." "She's terrible." "A visitor?" "Yes." "Show him in." "Have a seat." "What is your relationship to Miyauchi Mitsuko?" "That "well" is suspicious." "We're mere friends." "Oh?" "Or acquaintances." "What did you come here for?" "I brought her something." "Please let me see her." "What is it?" "A cream pie." "This place doesn't serve her sweets, I bet." "You can't see her here." "She caused a riot and is being punished now." "For her sake, leave without seeing her." "Why can't I see her?" "This is a place where they put their past behind them and they strive to reform." "Where do you live?" "Please be understanding." "She will reform faster if you give her this." "Please." "Never mind." "Why do you want to see her?" "I want to cheer her up." "I thought I could console her by chatting with her." "If you want to see her, you must become a worthy person first." "Then I'll gladly let you see her." "It won't do her any good to see you now." "Do you understand?" "I'll be glad if you can help her reform." "So you won't let me see her?" "Come back when you've become a worthy person." "Let's get it over with." "What do you mean by that?" "Let's stop beating around the bush." "Come on..." "I've come a long way." "You escaped, didn't you?" "Didn't your friend get hurt by Kugahama Station?" "Hell!" "Wait!" "Come back!" "Catch him!" "That way!" "Hey!" "Hey, tiny!" "How have you been?" "This door doesn't open." "When did you come?" "This way!" "You'll get caught!" "Run for it!" "Fight for it!" "Take care of yourself!" "You, too!" "I'll see you again!" "He's got spirit." "He's the only one that made it this far." "They were all caught at the front." "It's spring, all right." "Let's get out of here." "Go back to work!" "Calm down!" "Go in." "Kantaro, what are you doing here?" "Thanks." "How have you been?" "The weather is nice." "You've sure grown up." "Weren't you 11 years old the last time I saw you?" "You were still a small kid." "Are you still doing the same job?" "Yes, I am." "Your father shouldn't have gone back on the ship." "I heard you left home, so I was worried about you." "I heard that mother of yours went back to live with her child." "I don't know where she went." "She's no family of mine." "What are you doing now?" "Call the Juvenile Classification Office." "He was being sent to Kugahama." "Will you be sure to give her that pie?" "I'll give it to her myself then." "Cut it out!" "All right." "Let's go eat something." "Remember the time we had eels and rice in Asakusa?" "You said you never had anything so tasty." "Let's go eat that again." "I'll take him with me." "Is there anything else you want to eat?" "No, I'm full." "You have to learn how to make a living." "You're healthy, gutsy, and a defender of the weak." "That's not enough though." "There are fine sports instructors in Kugahama." "They will even educate you and teach you a trade." "How about it?" "It'll be for 14 months, huh..." "If you get a good review, you can come out earlier." "Only the tough ones are sent to that special reformatory." "It'll be worth your time." "You won't be able to smoke in there though." "I guess I can go there." "Just be prepared to endure the hardships." "But you'll certainly come out as a better person." "Shall we take the train?" "Wait a minute." "After tonight, I won't be able to do as I wish for a while." "Will you be understanding?" "Are you feeling better?" "Yes." "Thank you for worrying about me." "I heard the wound was very deep." "Yes." "Be careful in the future." "Yes, I will." "I heard she hasn't changed at all." "She's a problem.. and she's been in a daze lately." "Ms. Kurita is making her run laps as a form of punishment." "What did she do now?" "She pretended to be ill again during work." "How are you, Mitsuko?" "Sensei!" "How are you all doing?" "She's exaggerating again." "She's such a faker!" "There's no cure for love illness." "You have to wash that all by yourself for being late." "Be sure to wash them well." "We got scoldings yesterday because there was a hair in it." "Don't get us into trouble." "You call that washing it?" "She's such a pain in the neck!" "Stop rubbing your face like an old man about to have a stroke!" "Don't take us too lightly or you'll pay for it dearly." "Thank you, God, for giving us this food." "Open your eyes slowly and have God's blessings." "There's nothing wrong." "Thank you for coming." "Mitsuko!" "My hand really felt numb." "When I dropped a scissors today, the teacher said" "I was just daydreaming." "So she made me run laps." "But I wasn't faking it." "Weren't you thinking about something else." "What do you mean?" "Please confide in me about anything." "If you're really not feeling well, I could call the doctor back again." "There must be a reason for the numbness, dizziness, and loss of concentration." "Our doctor says there's nothing wrong with you." "It doesn't make sense." "Why do you do things like that?" "Answer me." "Do you want me to apologize?" "I'm sorry for faking it." "Are you satisfied now?" "Go back to your room and sleep already." "I'll do just that." "I'm sorry for the trouble." "Wonderful." "Do you have engine trouble again?" "Pass me the wrench." "Can you fix it?" "No problem." "Then fix it." "Just watch me." "Isn't it fixed yet?" "Will you hurry?" "I will, so come down here beside me." "Time is up!" "Fumi and Otama, take the medicine bath!" "We've just reached a decision." "We don't think it's necessary to take her to an outside doctor." "There's no need to treat her like an ill person." "She looks fine to us." "We found this in her belongings during inspection." "She's been knitting this." "It's for a man, too." "Look at this large size." "That's the reason why she can't concentrate." "Why, this needle is made from the shop's bamboo." "I suppose she's still thinking about him." "She was moved by his brave effort to come and see her." "And that's probably the effect he wanted." "It's like a form of showing off." "These girls are craving for affection." "True." "And he did that to get her attention." "Ms. Kojima was fooled by her again." "Are you saying she faked the bleeding, too?" "That's because she had just come out of the bath." "Don't take everything so seriously." "You're too soft." "She gets carried away because you defend her." "She looks fine, doesn't she?" "I don't think she's faking it." "She looks pale." "That's because she stays up late, knitting this." "She's become sullen because nobody believes her." "She's shunned by her peers and is feeling lonely." "She's happy only when she's knitting the socks." "So?" "Why can't we probe for the reason before we scold her?" "I'm guilty, too, for scolding her for faking her illness." "So I'd like to have her get a thorough examination." "Let's end the discussion." "Please." "But she's not that ill." "Our doctor claims there is nothing wrong with her." "Don't forget that she's not a normal child." "We have to act with discretion." "Are you saying they can't freely see the doctor?" "You've heard everyone's opinion on it." "Ms. Kojima, you're still young and naive." "I can say this much from my many years of experience." "You shouldn't cultivate such a love for them." "In order to make a beautiful flower bloom..." "Will you permit it?" "Just this once." "Thank you very much." "Next person." "You look so happy, after he said there's nothing wrong." "It's raining." "Thank you." "Where are we going?" "To another doctor that I know." "That's not necessary." "Let's go." "How's the urine?" "Normal." "How about her blood?" "Her rd blood cells are a little low." "She's a bit anemic." "Anemic?" "It's nothing serious." "Did her parents have any chronic illnesses?" "I'm not sure." "It says here that her father died in the war." "What about her mother?" "Her whereabouts are unknown." "She left when she was only five or six years old so she doesn't remember much." "She must've been healthy." "Her mother was working as a traveling insurance salesman." "So I believe she was healthy." "What about her grandmother she was living with?" "What did she die of?" "Wasn't it just old age?" "She had blotches all over her face." "What kind of illness did she have?" "I just remember that she lost bunches of hair at a time." "When her mother disappeared they had no income to live on." "So she apparently had no money to see a doctor." "Where did they live?" "Near Okayama." "On the west side?" "Yes." "I remember going to Hiroshima with Grandma." "When was that?" "After the bombing in Hiroshima." "We went there to search for my mom" "Was that before the war ended?" "Well, Hiroshima was bombed on August 6th..." "It was three days after that." "The third day after that?" "Three days after the atomic bombing?" "Doe her illness have anything to do with that?" "She should get a thorough test at Chuo or Todai Hospital." "If the symptoms are due to aplastic anemia radiation..." "We must check for other possible causes." "She only went there once over ten years ago." "Let's run a detailed blood test." "We don't get up-to-date research findings here." "So the truth is, I have to do my own research." "Make the arrangements." "You must be hungry." "Don't worry." "I'll get the results from the doctor tomorrow." "The other doctors said there's nothing wrong." "The fact that you're a bit anemic doesn't mean that it's related to the atomic bombing." "He said to eat good food and rest up." "You were fine for the past ten years." "Don't worry, I'll make sure that you have special meals." "I might die." "Don't say such a thing." "Let's eat some bread before we go." "Don't let it worry you so." "You must be tired, so wait here." "Wasn't there a store nearby?" "What kind of bread do you want?" "I don't want any." "I'll get you something tasty, then." "Mitsuko!" "Mitsuko!" "We're running up the hills today!" "This is tough." "We have "sekihan" cooked for you." "Please celebrate your graduation with your teachers." "After you eat, please change clothes." "We have a bus waiting." "Congratulations." "I came to get you." "You hung in there very well." "I'm very happy for you." "Eat some of this." "Ok." "Let's celebrate together." "Thanks for the meal!" "Thanks for the meal!" "Are you all too happy to eat?" "Thanks for the meal!" "When you go to the factor, save your money for the future." "Everyone there has no home, like you." "It'll be awfully different working at a biscuit factory after learning how to repair automobiles." "Just hang in there for a while I'll find something good for you." "Work hard now." "You can change to another job after six months." "You can eat all the biscuits that you want." "Really?" "You'll eventually get tired of it." "It's hot, so watch your teeth." "Hayakawa, come to the office." "You have a visitor." "How are you doing?" "This is Ms. Kojima from the Seiai Reformatory." "Don't you know Miyauchi Mitsuko?" "She escaped." "She's ill." "If you should find out where she is, please let me know." "I'm too worried to leave her alone in that condition." "What's wrong with her?" "We don't know anything definite yet." "She needs to get a thorough testing at Todai or Chuo Hospital." "She's been missing for nearly six months now." "If you should hear anything, please let me know." "Will you do that?" "Sure." "You have some mail." "Congratulations." "I am at this address." "Please write to me." "I'll be waiting to hear from you." "Mitsuko." "Welcome." "What will you have?" "Ramen noodles." "Hurry up." "The customer wants it quick." "Where have you been?" "Hurry and deliver it before it gets cold." "Fool." "How did you know where to find me?" "The fellow at the nearby bar heard it from a friend who had returned from Kugahama." "I wonder who that is." "I had a hard time finding your factory." "But I'm glad I got to see you." "I have to deliver that to the shoe store there." "I'll be right out so wait for me." "I can't stay out too long since I snuck out." " Did you catch a cold?" " Yeah." "It must be cold where you are." "Why did you go to Kugahama after that?" "I was obligated to obey Inspector Shimoyama." "He took good care of me when I was a kid." "Are you out on trial?" "I'm on probation." "Was it hard in Kugahama?" "I learned how to repair automobiles for free." "I'm going to have my own auto repair shop someday." "That sounds great." "I'm happy for you." "I heard you're ill." "What happened?" "Who told you that?" "Your teacher, Ms. Kojima came to see me." "She asked me to let her know where you are." "Don't tell her now." "If I get caught, we'll be separated again." "I've been waiting for you all this time." "I made up my mind to find work and wait for you." "I just got this job." "You were waiting for me?" "That's right." "No kidding?" "Didn't you know how I feel?" "You're so dense." "Can't you see that I'm bashful?" "You're the dense one." "You'd better go back quickly." "Go see a doctor now." "It's useless to go to a regular doctor." "I heard on the radio that Chuo Hospital is giving special examinations to people for three days next month." "I'll go with you." "No!" "I'll be waiting at Chuo Hospital next month." "Be sure to take time off and come." "If you don't come, I'm going to call your teacher." "Don't threaten me like that." "Be sure to come." "I can't allow you to go out without a valid reason." "It's time for me to go." "Go back to work." "A friend of mine is ill." "Who's your friend?" "Is it someone from your gang?" "No." "Make it next time." "Numbers 255, 256, 257, and 258!" "Where were you when the bomb fell?" "Did you bleed?" "Were you on the porch at that time?" "Which way were you facing?" "So you had a minor injury." "How have you been feeling after that?" "Okay." "This is the park, so..." "It'll be a kilometer away." "So the first symptom you noticed was a swollen throat." "How long did your fever of 104 degrees last?" "My whole body was bruised." "After that, my hair..." "When did it start growing?" "A year later." "When was your child born?" "On April 10, 1050." "Does your child have any abnormalities?" "He's not very healthy, but I haven't noticed anything odd." "Did you see the flash of the bomb?" "Yes, I did." "My house went down." "So you were caught underneath?" "Will the people holding tickets up till number 263, come in!" "How many times did your gum bleed?" "About three times." "You were five kilometers away from where the bomb fell." "Do you get nauseous?" "No." "Do you have blood in your urine?" "No." "You don't have a fever, do you?" "The symptoms of the radiation disease are unknown." "I suggest you get a blood test done." "Can I be cured?" "We don't have any definite method of treatment yet." "In any event, I'll give you today's test results later." "Your liver is a bit inflamed so avoid eating fried foods." "I'll give you medication for it." "Missus, we'll take x- rays of your lungs." "As for now, there seems to be nothing wrong with your child." "As for now?" "If you notice something wrong later, bring him in right away." "Does even a slight abnormality equate to radiation disease?" "No, that's not definite yet." "You're showing signs of nervous disorders." "Please go see a nerve specialist." "Your recover from the tooth extraction is slow." "Please go see a dentist." "Calling for numbers 261, 262, 263, and 264!" "You are anemic so you need a lot of rest." "Try to come every week." "Are you working?" "I have a live-in job." "You should quit your job." "What are the blotches that appear on my arms sometimes?" "That's a result of the blood clotting from the low blood count." "I'll give you medication for it as well as an injection." "It's hard for me to come every week." "I can't get time off." "You can go to a doctor in your neighborhood." "I'll give you a prescription." "Is anyone home next door?" "No." "Where's the girl that makes the deliveries?" "She was fired." "Do you know where she went?" "No." "I haven't seen you in a while." "The bad guys are here." "Stay away from them." "Well, well, how are you?" "You look tough now." "Where's En?" "Big brother?" "He went away." "There's no gang now." "I've got a job." "Where are the others?" "We're going after coppers." "It's not worth going." "What happened to that gal?" "I heard she's sick at the hotel." "Oh really?" "The old man saw her." "The one in Takabashi?" "Mitsuko?" "The copper is going for 1,000 yen for eight pounds." "Would you like to come in with us?" "I'll think about it." "Meet us at 10:00 at the shrine." "What's wrong?" "Did the neighbor tell you where to find me?" "No." "I left a message with the girl next door." "Did you go to the hospital?" "I'm sorry I couldn't make it that day." "The instructor went out today so I snuck out." "What was the diagnosis?" "Do you get fevers from the effects of the atomic bomb?" "Is that it?" "Let's talk outside." "Did they tell you to stay in bed?" "Not that, but..." "I get dizzy." "Don't force yourself to get up." "I have to go back right away." "I only came to see how you are doing." "I can get leave once a month." "So I can spend more time with you on those days." "Goodbye." "Don't talk about the atomic bombs in there." "I was fired for breaking a bowl at that noodle shop." "If they think I have the radiation disease." "they won't hire me." "Are you positive that you have that?" "They'll shun me just for the possibility of it." "That's nonsense." "That's how it is." "You just don't know it." "They give me the scary look when I go to the hospital." "Who?" "The people in my old neighborhood." "Someone must have told the owner that I might be ill." "It's not contagious." "They're such fools." "That's right." "You don't think anything of it?" "What if I'm ill?" "Did the doctor tell you so?" "He said I was anemic, but he wouldn't tell me what's causing it." "A lot of the people were told the same thing as me." "They all wanted a clear explanation but the doctors said that they didn't know themselves." "I went to a nearby doctor once and was shocked." "A cortisone shot costs 3,000 yen." "3,000 yen?" "Did you get it?" "Don't you need money for your lodgings?" "Are you paying it everyday?" "Yes, I am." "If I were healthy, I'd sleep under the skies." "How much money do you have left?" "Enough to last me a week, if I don't eat anything." "I'll find a job before then." "When I get paid, I'll bring you some money." "It might not be much though." "You don't have to worry about me." "Get something hot to eat." "Save your money." "Don't you want your own shop?" "I can't buy a shop for 200 yen." "Just take it." "I'm sorry." "It's not much." "The money I earn at an honest job is measly." "It won't be for another three years until I make 10,000 yen per month." "With the two of us working, there'll be double the income." "I'll get well and find a job so that we can save money." "Shall we buy a shop with our savings?" "You have to get over your cold first." "I made this for you." "What is it?" "A mask?" "Wear it while you're sleeping and you'll get better faster." "Ouch." "Is it too small?" "Concentrate on getting yourself well first." "I'll be going now." "Don't give up hope now." "He's here." "Got all the tools?" "Yeah." "When do we get paid?" "After we sell them." "Tomorrow night." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Have you seen Ichi?" "No." "You rat!" "What can I do if it's gone?" "Someone stole it." "Liars!" "It's the truth." "How many times must we tell you that?" "Damn you!" "You were the latest." "I'm going to raise the price." "Did you lock up?" "Yes, I did." "Where did you go?" "You have a lot saved up." "Do you want to lend me some?" "I'll pay you interest." "Did you find a job?" "You're not well enough to walk around all day." "Would you like some water?" "No, thanks." "This will be my last night here." "I only have five yen left." "I'll give you some sardines." "I'm sure it'll work itself out." "It's all right." "Lie down and rest." "Don't give up so easy." "You're still young." "Say..." "What is it?" "Thank you." "Mitsuko." "How are you doing?" "Did you sneak out?" "You're not off today, are you?" "I brought you sushi, bread and apples to eat." "What happened to your hand?" "It's nothing." "Eat." "It's delicious." "And this is for you." "Did you get paid already?" "No." "How did you get this money?" "I borrowed it." "This is a lot of money." "Don't worry about it." "I'll bring you more later." "Put the money away." "I'm sorry." "Eat." "It's good, isn't it?" "I didn't eat anything today." "I didn't have an appetite." "When I saw you, I felt so relieved." "This is good." "I'm glad I came." "Eat more." "There aren't too many people here today." "That's because it's still early." "I just got back myself." "Did you go to the doctor's?" "I went out to look for work." "I'll try again tomorrow." "Wait till you're well." "I'll bring you money." "I'm glad you came today." "I was in a complete bind." "It'd be easy to steal, but..." "If I do that, everything will be in vain." "Isn't that right?" "You're working earnestly, so I have to do the same." "So I didn't lose to the temptation." "Even if it means not eating today..." "I was determined to follow you diligently." "So I didn't resort to stealing." "And I just came back." "How about an apple?" "It seems like a picnic." "Shall we go on a picnic on my next day off?" "A real picnic?" "I'd love that." "You have to get well before then." "Where would you like to go?" "I'd like to go to a green pasture." "Green pasture?" "All right." "Do you know of a place like that?" "I'll just ask someone." "Well, then..." " Are you going?" " Yeah." "What's the favor?" "Don't go to see them." "Ichi and Sato were here yesterday, waiting to get you." "I'm the one who has to get even with them." "Come inside." "To tell you the truth, pop..." "I stole my friend's savings." "I wanted to return it and apologize to him." "Will you lend me some money?" "You stole your friend's savings?" "I needed 10,000 yen right away." "I should've come to you first, but..." "What did you use the money for?" "A gal." "A gal?" "How foolish." "Please lend me the money." "No." "That's what you get for being stupid." "Now you'll be stuck in there for more than a year." "She's ill." "Ill?" "Is she a drug addict?" "She has anemia." "Is it hysteria?" "No." "What is it then?" "This is the first time I'm asking you for a favor." "It'll be my first and last time." "I only have 5,000 yen." "If you don't believe me, check the cash register." "Count it." "I can't believe you lost your senses over a gal." "Each can has 2,000 yen." "You're taking all that I have." "Here's 4,000 yen." "That should be 10,000 yen altogether." "Return that, too." "Thanks." "You've disappointed me." "You call this a green pasture?" "There's no grass." "Milk, please." "This is just a milk dealer." "But they have cows." "Hey!" "Hey, Mr. Beef." "That's not a mister." "Miss?" "She gives milk." "She's Madame Beef." "Well, excuse me." "Hey, Madame Beef." "She answered." ""The Tale of Genji. "" "I like this kind of stuff." "That photo of the flower is pretty." "That's a passion-flower." ""The Interpretation of the Kojiki. "" "I like that tune." "It lifts me off my feet." "It's called "Farewell. "" "I often heard it in school, too." "It's a really nice melody." "I lost." "Wouldn't it be nice if we had a fishbowl with a couple of goldfishes in it?" "If it's just one, it'll be lonely." "And we could have miso soup and rice every morning." "That would be so nice!" "Will you follow me?" "Yes." "You will?" "Let's escape then." "To where?" "I've been thinking..." "I can't even pay your medicine with what I make at my job." "You understand, don't you?" "You don't want to come with me?" "Don't cry." "I hate it when a girl cries on me." "Make up your mind." "I'm not going back to the factory." "You shouldn't do that." "I'll work and save until you are discharged so that we can own that auto repair shop together." "No." "That'll only end as a dream." "That's not true." "Four or five years will go by quickly." "It's much better to have a dream and goal, than to wander about aimlessly." "What's wrong?" "Are you mad?" "I'll wait ten... or even 15 years for you." "I'll be working and waiting for you." "Even if I may not be able to see you again..." "I'll be waiting for you." "Even if I die." "That doesn't suit me." "Do as you wish." "Did you see that?" "Aren't I still good at it?" "Fool!" "Cut it out!" "I can still do it." "Stupid!" "Stop it." "Mitsuko!" "Then it's true you were robbed." "Why didn't you report it?" "Is it dishonest money?" "No." "Hayakawa returned it to me with interest." "He said his girl was sick with the radiation disease." "His girl?" "Where is she?" "In Takabashi." "Please don't tell him that I told you." "Are you all right?" "I shouldn't have dragged you all over the place." "That's not true." "I had a lot of fun." "The noodles were good." "You'd better get a good rest tonight." "Can I see you on your day off next month?" "Sure." "If I find a job, I'll let you know." "Mitsuko!" "Don't be mad." "I want to run off with you, but..." "I'll only be a burden to you." "Please don't be mad." "I would really want to go with you." "You have to get well soon." "Rest up tonight." "I have to go back now." "Hayakawa, come to the office." "Have a seat." "I've found an auto repair shop for you." "They're willing to take you in." "The pay will be higher, too." "I think you'll like it there." "Yes, I'd love to go there." "Say, what did you use your friend's money for?" "You're still on probation." "I can't be recommending you if you do such things." "You've been seeing Mitsuko, haven't you?" "You know she had escaped." "You could very well lose this great opportunity." "I can't recommend someone who betrayed my trust." "You know she's ill." "You're only making her unhappy." "Let her rest quietly." "Can you promise not to see her until you're free?" "This is a critical time for you." "I told you she's not here." "Where did she go?" "A lot of people come and go everyday." "How should I know?" "Don't be impossible." "The old man said not to say anything, but..." "A teacher came for her." "She's been drinking only water everyday." "We couldn't let her stay here any longer." "Did you snitch on her?" "No." "She suddenly got worse after that night with you." "We all had to take care of her." "Everyone kindly took turns in nursing her, but..." "It was a good thing that someone came for her." "Please rest a while." "She absolutely refuses to return to the reformatory." "I'm sorry to trouble you." "Teacher..." "She's calling for you." "What is it?" "I'm sorry to trouble you." "You don't have to apologize." "I'm not feigning my illness." "I know that." "Don't worry about it and go to sleep." "Everyone picks on me saying I'm only faking it." "What's the matter?" "Please don't take me back there!" "I want to stay here." "I'm going to wait for him here." "I wonder what's wrong with her." "Let her rest for a while." "If it's mild, there may be a treatment for her." "I'm sure that Chuo Hospital ran some tests on her." "Her white blood count is 1,600 as to a normal 5,000." "Is under 4,000 considered bad?" "She has aplastic anemia." "Does it have anything to do with the radiation?" "I think so." "It'll be difficult to cure her completely." "I'll do all that I can." "Please do that." "I have a favor to ask you." "What is it?" "When the 21st of this month comes, please tell him I'm here." "The 21st?" "Yes." "It's his factory's holiday." "I promised to see him then." "Will you please let him know that I'm here?" "I won't be willful again." "Please, just this once." "Then I will return to the reformatory." "And I'll work very hard with everyone." "We went to the green pasture the other day." "You did?" "The two of you?" "I want to tell you everything because I have no one else to tell it to." "We spent the whole day together for the first time." "He bought me a pair of shoes." "That was the first time someone bought something for me." "I was so happy." "But the shoes were so heavy that I barely made it up the station's stairway." "I'll hear the rest tomorrow." "You're tired." "Get some rest now." "I'll change your pillow." "Is Hayakawa around?" "Hayakawa!" "You had a phone call saying that Miyauchi Mitsuko is waiting for you at Segawa clinic in Shibuya." "I'm sure he'll be happy." "Please wait inside." "Hayakawa!" "Mr. Shimoyama is here to take you to the auto repair shop." "Hello?" "Hayakawa is out." "Who is this calling?" "Segawa clinic?" "I don't think he'll be going there today." "I'll give him the message when he returns." "Where is the patient of this room?" "She died this morning." "Her body was taken to Chuo Hospital for an autopsy." "Autopsy?" "The teachers were waiting till early afternoon." "I have to clean this room for the next patient coming in." "Don't walk in a daze!" "Shut up!" "The End."
