"I'm not doing anything." "Hey, I'm telling you to come here." "Old man, I saw her, you know —" "What are you mumbling about?" "Yes." "Who is it?" "Oh it's you, Makao." "What did you come here for?" "Well, um..." "What's up, Midori?" "Rika." "It's been a while, hasn't it?" "I'm going to be employed by your father." "So I just wanted to let you know." "You came here just to tell me that?" "Not entirely." "I've got no ties with my dad." "I don't know what's going on between you and your dad." "But why don't you come home and relieve your dad of his worries?" "Shut up and leave." "— But — — It's none of your business." "Don't stick your nose in other people's business." "Go home." "Well, okay." "I'll be back." "What was that?" "Nothing for you to worry about." "Hey, Rika." "Didn't I tell you it would be better not to go?" "She's like an untamed wildcat." "But I wonder why they're estranged." "I'm not certain, but it seems that the boss's daughter suddenly started going astray about two years ago." "But to go as far as stealing her dad's legal stamp is a bit much." "And the poor old guy is trying his damnedest to pay her debts off." "Watch out!" "You idiot!" "—You clueless eggplant!" "— No, I'm not." "Get out!" "Where the hell were you looking?" "I was daydreaming." "You idiot, I'm not one to stand for anyone's daydreaming." "Hey, he's apologizing." "Can't you forgive him?" "Butt out." "It's none of your business." "It is my business." "I'm his assistant." "— You are?" "— Yup." "You stupid idiot!" "You were looking to the side, not straight ahead." "— Are you ﬁnished?" "— You're a lively one." "I'm not in a good mood today." "So what?" "You get me mad, and there's no stopping me." "What did you say, you curbside pumpkin?" "Are eggplants and pumpkins all you can come up with?" "You fried tofu ball." "— What was that?" "— What?" "What is this?" "— Makao." "— Yes." "It's done." "Take it off." "Hey, fried tofu ball." "Are you satisﬁed, tofu ball?" "You idiot." "I have a name, and it's Ryuji." "Is that right?" "My name is Rika and it won't hurt to remember it." "You're all done here so why don't you leave." "You don't have to tell me to leave." "just get out of here." "I'm sorry about that, old man." "Please take it out of my pay." "No need to worry." "Hello." "Ramen delivery from Chin Chin's." "This is on me, old man." "You don't have to do that." "Hey, is that you, Yuki?" "Big Sis!" "Watch out!" "I've missed you." "I've missed you so much." "— What do you think you're doing?" "— Oh, you're right." "—Welcome." "— Hi." "Well, well, what's the occasion?" "An exec's daughter and a young man just back from Abashiri Prison." "You're as sarcastic as usual." "How've you been?" "Okay." "Sit down." "— And who's this pretty woman?" "— She's my big sis, Rika." "How do you do?" "— You're from Akagi?" "— That's right." "So you're all classmates, huh?" "What memories!" "I'd like to go back to the good old days." "Yuki, don't be stupid." "Don't do anything that'll put you back in that place again." "You girls need to work hard and become good wives." "— You got that?" "— Yes."

"An order of four bowls of ramen and dumplings." "By the way, Choko, what's Mari up to?" "Mari's in Shinjuku." "Ouch!" "What?" "Rika, it's better not to see Mari." "Why not?" "There's no speciﬁc reason." "The truth is — Ouch!" "— Here's your ramen." "— Don't say anything that's unnecessary." "White on black, huh." "SPIRITS OF DEPARTED SOULS" "Hello." "Excuse me, is there a Mari Fuyuki here?" "Thank you." "I'll just be going in." "Mari." "Mari, are you in here?" "Help!" "Old lady!" "Wow, this is great." "Young lady, could you take your panties off?" "That'll be extra." "— What did you say?" "— Two thousand yen." "That's too much." "I just want to look." "Take it or leave it." "Don't be so difﬁcult." "I'll pay you." "What's this chair doing here?" "Two thousand yen, right?" "Here you go." "Now hurry and let me see." "Hurry, hurry" "Your lower gut is sticking out." "Are you pregnant?" "Look, right here." "ART STUDIO" "Hey, good looking." "Why don't you stop in?" "— I'll show you a good time." "— They give me the creeps." "Why did you have to go and blow it again?" "Stay inside." "— What the hell was that?" "— Come again." "What a rip-off!" "I already have a wife at home with a big tummy." "I should have had sukiyaki with my wife." "That was a horrible experience."

"Don't be shocked, but somethings happened." "Granny, you'll make some money soon." "These kids today don't believe in anything." "How is he?" "That guy's not going to die easily." "You went out again, didn't you?" "I told you not to." "That quack thinks that a shot will ﬁx everything." "Give me some water." "Sure." "What's all this?" "I was going to cook you dinner to surprise you when you got home." "Look what happens when you try to do something nice." "So stupid of you." "You always overdo it when you start to feel a little better." "Honey." "This is my old street sister." "Her name is Rika." "Nice to meet you." "Rika came to visit me here." "She found you unconscious and came to get me." "If it weren't for her, you'd be dead by now." "I guess a thank you is in order." "Don't worry about it." "I'm just glad you're feeling better now." "Are you okay?" "I'm used to this." "Oh, yeah." "Rika." "— Why don't you join us for dinner?" "— But —" "We should celebrate Rika's release, right, hon?" "Sure, stay for a while, if you like." "— I guess I'll take your offer." "— Good." "How did you get so fat anyway?" "All you ever eat is seaweed." "I was born this way." "I can't help it." "You idiot!" "Hey you!" "Why do you gamble when you don't even have any money?" "You told me that I didn't have to pay up right away." "Shut up!" "Who told you that?" "You better listen up." " Get up!" " Stop it!" "Violence is not good." "Hey, Hamada." "If you ain't got it, you ain't got it." "just don't get any ideas about not paying us back." "Of course not." "I'll pay for sure." "Your debt from today is 200,000 yen, and your previous debt is —" "— 500,000, right?" "—That's right." "I'm not saying you have to pay it back in a lump sum." "just bring me half." "You have until the day after tomorrow." "But I need more time." "If you don't want to comply, that's your choice." "But." "if you want to stay in good health, you better take care of it." "So what's it gonna be?" "I'll get it to you somehow." "All right." "Bring it to our ofﬁce the day after tomorrow." "I'll be waiting." "Did we make it clear enough?" "Hey." "How's the car running?" "Great." "Better than before." "You're a sly one." "Are those for me?" "I'd rather throw them in the sewer than give them to you." "I can understand that." "Rika's out delivering invoices." "It wasn't anything important." "What are you trying to hide?" "Fool." "What are you talking about?" "I didn't come here to see that juvenile delinquent." "Take it." "I'm leaving, old man." "She'll be back soon if you want to hang around." "No, I've got things to do anyway." "Big Brother, how are you feeling?" "What are you doing here?" "I was in the area." "I didn't come just to see you." "I thought I told you not to come here." "The weather's great." "The air is fresh." "It's refreshing." "Did you come here to harass me?" "Why don't you stop feeling sorry for yourself?" "If you don't change your lifestyle, you're going to die." "Why don't you straighten up?" "Go to the country where the air is clean and start over." "Stop it." "Are you trying to give me advice?" "Brother, have you forgotten?" "I was so proud to have a brother in the yakuza when I was a kid." "I was always pretending to be a yakuza and showing off." "You used to get so mad at me." "The life of a yakuza is all about crossing a dangerous bridge and putting your life on the line." "You said it was a terrible way to live." "I owe it to you that I didn't pursue that life." "—just shut up!" "— No, I won't." "Five years ago, you went to the big house over some petty gang battle and loyalty to your boss." "And now that you've done your time, your health is in jeopardy." "What has your boss done for you in exchange for your undying loyalty?" "Not even a welcome home." "— They don't even give you recognition." "— Shut up!" "Get out of here." "I don't even want to see your face." "Okay, I'm leaving." "I said what I said because you're my one and only brother." "Big Brother." "Maybe this is all right with you, but don't you feel sorry for Mari?" "She's working so hard for you." "Poor thing." "Your karma will get you soon." "Ryuji." "I'm all right." "What a damn waste of time." "Come again." "I almost forgot this." "They're Chinese herbs for my brother." "I hear they work pretty well." "I can't thank you enough." "Don't over work yourself." "See ya." "— Tsunao." "— Yes." "— Can you wash these too?" "— Yeah, sure." "Choko, are you here?" "—Good morning." "— Hi!" "Looking good!" "Look at how you're dressed." "What time of day do think it is?" "The sun is getting ready to set." "— Shit!" "— Honey, what are you doing?" "Why don't you make some coffee for Rika?" "Okay." "I'm going to borrow this as usual." "You still boss people around." "But I love my wife." "I can't help it." "Right, honey?" "Honey." "By the way, what did you want?" "I want to ask you for a favor." "Do you know of any work for Mari?" "Isn't she working at the art studio?" "Well, yeah." "but don't you think working at a cabaret would be better than stripping?" "— Can't happen." "— Why not?" "She left an unsettled debt at the club she worked for a year ago." "Never paid it?" "When her man got sick, she borrowed money from the club, and to top it off, she took the money she made for the club." "She got ﬁred." "Word got around the clubs in Shinjuku and no one will hire her." "I see." "Mari's unlucky with men." "Choko, Senmitsu." "— Mari's our street sis." "— Well, that's true." "Mari, myself, Choko and Senmitsu, we're all orphans without a home to go back to." "We've all got to stick together and help Mari out." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "— You know something, honey?" "— What?" "Maybe there's something I can do." "You say that like you've got something in mind." "Do you?" "Sort of." "That's what I like to hear." "Tsunao, you're a man after all." "I'm counting on you." "No way." "We can't hire a hostess with a bad reputation." "If I did something that stupid," "I wouldn't be able to return to my hometown Nagoya with honor, not even decorated with panties." "Try the other clubs." "— Master!" "— What?" "That's cold." "Her reputation predates this club." "Besides, she's got a full ﬁgure and she's pretty too." "Master, just look at these exceptional lines." "Master, did you know that Mari used to be known in Ginza as Miss Akagi?" " Right?" "— Right." "Miss Akagi?" "I've never heard of it." "— You country bumpkin." "— What?" "— Look who's talking." "— Come closer." "Master, take a look at these hips and these boobs that bulge from her sides." "My hands are getting numb!" "You're getting excited all by yourself." "Lets see, is there really a bulge?" "Hold on, Master." "What's your answer?" "What's it going to be?" "Master, I mean Mr. Oniya." "How about it?" "— I'm begging you." "— Please." "Okay, then." "I'll do what you all want me to do." "Your name is Mari?" "You're lucky to have such good friends." "It's been a while since I've felt this warmth in my heart." "Mari, you've got to do things right." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "There's that girl from the other day." "Hold on,young lady." "You want to come have some tea?" "Hey, are you hard of hearing?" "We're talking to you." "You better stop ignoring us." "— Who in the hell do you think we are?" "—Shut up!" "I ain't the cheap kind of girl you scumbags think I am." "What did you say?" "You think this is some kind of joke?" "Rika." "Rika, what's going on?" "Hurry up." "Come this way." "— Leave me alone." "Let me go." "— Get in!" "— I don't want to." "— Hurry, get in." "I won't forget this!" "Look at you." "You're a lady." "You won't ﬁnd a husband if you behave that way." "That's none of your business." "Accepting help from your kind lowers my value as a woman." "As usual, you talk a mean talk." "If I hadn't happened by, you'd have had your brains bashed out by now." "I can handle ﬁve or six of those goons on my own without any problem." "You want to bet?" "I'm up for it." "Don't come crying to me later." "Stop the car!" "Start acting like a woman now." "That's right." "You're not all that bad when you're quiet." "I'll take you to Yokohama next time." "— Really?" "— For real." "Bye." "— It's a promise." "—All right." "He's so cool." "What a surprise!" "Midori!" "What?" "You got a problem?" "I can't ﬁnd words to say what it feels like to see you stealing from your own home." "Are you calling me a thief?" "I don't need a stranger telling me what I can or can't take from my home." "just shut up and go away." "Sure, I'm a stranger." "I may not know anything." "But, listen." "whatever your reasons may be, what you're doing ain't right." "It's the lowest." "I don't know why you hate your father so much." "But." "look at me." "Even if I wanted to hate, ever since I was a child," "I never had parents." "I'm envious that you have a parent to hate." "I don't expect you ever to understand howl feel." "Cut out your stupid sob story." "You still don't get it?" "You twisted soul!" "Don't you feel sorry for your dad?" "Shut up!" "Go ahead and do whatever you want." "Call the cops." "What did you say?" "Rika,just wait a minute." "Hold on." "Please forgive her for now out of consideration for me." "— But, old man — — I know how you feel." "just this time." "I'm pleading with you." "Midori." "Old man." "Did I say too much?" "I'm glad you said it." "But you know, Rika, in Midori's eyes." "I'm not worthy enough of a father for you to defend." "I did some stupid things in my youth." "Back then," "A geisha in Asakusa bore me a child." "That child is Midori." "Does Midori know?" "It seems someone told her three years ago." "Ever since then, she's turned delinquent and really changed." "So that's what happened." "LODGING, 100 YEN A NIGHT" "Honey, you're having a feast tonight." "I hope you're hungry." "— Are you leaving already?" "— Uh-huh." "It's my ﬁrst day on the new job." "I should get there early." "Ginza Girls is a silly name for a cabaret in Shinjuku." "I'm going to make lots of money so you can go to a good hospital." "— Don't work too hard." "— I'll be ﬁne." "It's what I excelled at in the past." "This salmon is so fresh, it cost 250 yen." "You better eat it all." "All right." "What's wrong?" "What's wrong, Mari?" "It's nothing." "Is it possible?" "Are you pregnant?" "I said it's nothing." "You're pregnant, aren't you, Mari?" "I'll go to the clinic tomorrow and get an abortion." "Have the baby." "This time, have the baby." "— But — — Don't worry." "I'll get enough money together for the baby." "No." "Bringing you back to health comes ﬁrst." "just listen to me." "I've been thinking about this for a while." "If you ever got pregnant," "I thought we could move to the country where the air is clean." "Honey." "That's that." "You have to take care of yourself." "I'm back." "What are you doing, Makao?" "You idiot!" "You could say that" "I'm your daughter's husband." "Why won't you help me out a bit?" "Let me tell you something." "I've never thought of you as her husband." "Never." "You think you can treat me this way?" "If I don't pay off my debt to these people, Midori's the one who'll suffer." "You know she'll do anything for me." "She may get desperate enough to snatch a purse." "What's it gonna be?" "I'll pay the money." "But on one condition." "What?" "I want you to sever ties with Midori." "With Midori?" "Fine." "I'll leave her." "There's 300,000 yen in here." "Take it." "300,000?" "That wasn't our agreement." "If you see anything you want, take it." "The shop is already being held as collateral." "And that's all the cash there is." "Hamada, gratefully accept it." "Excuse the intrusion, old man." "You stinking ass!" "Ouch!" "I wonder what the old man's gonna do." "He said something about a bounced check." "Bounced check?" "That 300,000 he worked so hard to gather is crucial to him." "Without that money, the shop will close." "All this land that's held as collateral will also be taken." "It would be disastrous if that happened." "That's right." "OHYA BUSINESS OFFICE" "Who are you?" "May I see the boss?" "What about?" "It's about the old man, Muraki." "Just a minute." "— Boss!" "— Yes." "You have a guest." "Who is it?" "My, aren't you a pretty girl!" "My family name is Kageyama and my ﬁrst name is Rika." "I'm just a cheap delinquent also known as Rika the Punk." "Although this is the ﬁrst time I've had the pleasure of meeting you," "I ask you not to treat me as a stranger from now on." "Rika the Punk." "You seem to ﬁt the bill." "What do you want with me?" "As forward as this may seem," "I'm here to ask a favor of you." "A favor?" "Let's hear it." "Thank you for hearing my plea." "Mr. Hamada standing over there and the other young bosses took 300,000 yen from the old man." "I plead with you to please return that money to him." "What did you say, you idiot?" "I don't know what the circumstances are between you and Muraki, but that money will make a difference of life or death for the old man." "You idiot!" "This isn't any place for a wannabe gangster girl." "Get the hell out!" "I'm not asking you to return the money for nothing." "I'm prepared to do anything I can." "— Shut up!" "This ain't none of your business." "— Hold it." "You said you'd do anything?" "Indeed." "Then get naked right here." "What?" "the matter?" "Can't you do it?" "Are you sure the money will be returned?" "The 300, 000?" "Okay by me." "Come on and take it all off." "You promised that you'd do anything." "Didn't you?" "You're going take your bra and panties off too." "I said take it off!" "This has nothing to do with Rika." "Take my body and do whatever you like with it." "You idiot!" "You just stay out!" "How dare you!" "You tricked me!" "What are you saying?" "You were begging to be tricked." "Damn it!" "I'll kill you." "— Cut it out!" "— Shut up!" "Shut up and quiet down." "Yes, hello." "This is Muraki." "Mr. Ohya?" "I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do here, but you've insulted me." "I'll take that." "I'll let these two go in exchange for the deed to your land." "Do you understand?" "I understand." "We've been waiting for you." "Have a seat." "Will you let these two go?" "Sure." "Did you bring the deed to your land?" "What's the matter?" "You didn't forget it, did you?" "Are you Crying?" "Hey, have you lost your mind or something?" "Yeah, I've lost it." "— Don't give me that shit, you asshole!" "— What was that?" "Until this very day." "I've tolerated everything there was to tolerate, but I can't go on like this." "It's not possible for Tetsu the Razor to live a straight life after all." "Remember this?" "Tetsu the Razor?" "A perfect match." "Have you forgotten about the gang riot on that rainy day 20 years ago?" "The reason your scar isn't any worse than that is because I took it easy on you." "You're a foolish guy." "You've got a lot of nerve threatening me and taking my money." "— I didn't know." "— Of course you didn't know." "You're the only gang in the entire Kanto area that's dared to threaten and take money from me." "I apologize." "Please forgive me." "As long as you understand." "I'm a reformed man disassociated from the underworld." "I'm not going to tell you how to run your business." "Do you mind letting those girls go?" "How about it?" "What's it going to be?" "Untie them." "Go outside quickly." "Thanks a lot." "Damn it!" "This has become a big problem." "Big Brother." "Boss, Arai is here to see you." "Arai is here?" "Midori." "Your room is exactly the way it was." "Come home anytime you want." "What?" "You're leaving Tokyo and going back to the country?" "If you've made up your mind, I won't stop you." "You should take it easy." "Yes." "Thank you very much." "By the way." "I haven't forgotten the enormous debt I owe you." "I wish I were able to give you a large cash gift in farewell, but we're in the midst of some problems." "So as an alternative to a farewell gift," "I want you do to one last job for me." "A job?" "You must have passed a man and his daughter who just left here." "I'd like for you to take care of the old man." "300,000 yen." "He should still be around the corner." "I'm not asking you to do it against your will." "FISH STEW  SAKE" "— Cheers." "— Cheers." "It's so bitter and good." "Isn't it, Midori?" "Daddy, I'm sorry." "Nothing to apologize for." "I'm so hungry." "As I recall, you like these potatoes." "Okay, here you go." "Eat up." "It looks good." "Okay." "Your mother also... liked potatoes." "Give me another drink." "Thanks a lot." "That's good!" "Delicious." "Taste good?" "Eat some more." "How nice it must be to have a Ether." "Rika, you eat whatever you like too." "Rika, what do you like?" "— I'll have potatoes too." "— You got it." "— What else?" "— Fish cake." "— Give me one too, Dad." "— What now?" "— Radish." "— She wants the radish." "That's right." "You always liked radish." "Midori, I'm happy for you." "Rika, I owe you an apology." "Don't worry about it." "I'm the one who's always meddling in other people's business." "It's a bad habit of mine." "Rika, if it's all right with you, will you be my older sister?" "Please, Daddy?" "What are you talking about?" "She's already your older sister." "Daddy, let's go home." "Let me stay and drink some more." "You girls go on ahead of me." "— Don't drink too much." "— I'll be ﬁne." "— Big Sis, let's go home." "— Okay." "— I could have had a little more to drink." "—We'll drink at home." "— We'll drink to our sisterhood." "— Be careful going home." "— Give me another drink." "—Coming up." "You have a nice daughter." "Here you go." "You think so?" "You seem happy." "Here's a tip for you." "Thank you very much." "— I'll come again." "— Please do." "Thank you." "Be careful getting home." "Watch out!" "Big Brother!" "Give this to Mari." "Please." "Big Brother!" "Honey!" "Mari." "Midori." "The many beginnings of hatred and heartache, the tears of blood my eyes have cried tucked away in my hot boiling stomach, months and years of tolerance ha ve passed" "Starting with your precious daughter, Midori, we're homeless, parentless, with no brothers or sisters." "Together, we are ﬁve delinquents of the streets." "We've walked every inch of the back alleys." "As unworthy as we are, we will never forget the kindness you showed us." "To go against your teachings is not our intention." "We've taken all that you've given us." "We must go, even as we are aware of our own stupidity." "Please forgive us." "What the hell is this?" "Shut your mouth!" "We can't let a single one of you bastards live." "Get them!" "You've got to be kidding!" "You stupid idiots!" "Here we go!" "Boss!" "You're going to die, Ohya!" "Hold on, scum!" "Die!" "Midori!" "Stop it!" "Shut up!" "You deserve to die." "—You slimeball!" "— You wretch!" "Senmitsu, your boobs!" "Move." "Sis, what are you doing here?" "Go home!" "— Go home!" "— No way!" "Giving up now won't make my man proud." "Wait!" "You!" "—Wait, you scum!" "—Wait!" "You better wait, Ohya." "I said wait, Ohya." "Wait!" "Scum of the earth!" "Ohya!" "Die!" "Run!" "Mari, we'll do your share of time." " Right?" "— Right." "And so on this dark night" "When I can't even remember my age" "Lights are twinkling through town" "Others are getting ready to pray" "Even if it's worthless" "Forms to confess" "I still want to try" "To confess"
