"That can't be how it is." "Can it be?" "I've been saying that's how it is." "Listen." "Riichi's mom... in here..." "Riichi's dad puts..." "Dad puts what?" "Squeeze my hand, my hand." "Something's coming out." "Please help!" "Which way, which way?" "This way, this way!" "Come on, come on, come on!" "Hang on." "Nurse...?" "It's a bouncing boy." "A boy!" "It's a boy!" "Oh, why wasn't it a girl?" "Darling, thank you." "I'm totally broke." "I bet you the next one will be a boy again." "Reach!" "Riichi" "That's good." "Listen, from today you are Riichi." "Watch out!" "Hey, take this!" "You're so handsome, aren't you?" "YOUNG THUGS" " NOSTALGIA" "Look, it's a massive hole, isn't it?" "Dad made this hole, you know." "When I had a fight with the earth, I did this... baaang." "What a nuisance..." "Hey, grandpa." "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Why did you think it was me?" "You're asking me why?" "You like them, don't you, grandpa?" "The end of the season will be coming soon again, you see." "Hey, watch the dried squid there." "Oh no, they've poisoned them!" "You idiot, there are no poisoned strawberries, otherwise everyone around here would've been dead ages ago!" "So, what did you do to hurt your forehead like that?" "What happened?" "...following the student demonstrations in Aichi, the decision has to be made, to move in armed police to deal with the disruptions." "According to a statement from the university president..." "Hey, Toshi." "If I was a bit younger, I could be beating up policemen." "The chicks wouldn't have been able to get enough of me." "Isn't that a shame?" "Party!" "Yeah!" "Then that dirty, ugly son of the yarn merchant, threw a firework." "And next he pulled out a bicycle chain." "He began swinging the deadly steel weapon like this." "Then my boy, my grandson, who's a real treasure, went straight into him, not giving a damn." "What a moment that was!" "Look, here, the honorable battle scar." "Well done, well done!" "He does him with a massive paper weight, bang!" "Well done, great, great!" "Hey..." "How much damage did you do to him?" "What?" "You didn't just run off without finishing the job, did you?" "He was nearly unconscious, gasping like a dying fish." "Ouch, ouch!" "Shut up, idiot!" "Hey, Riichi, Riichi, come here." "He deserves a medal." "Those scars show you're a real man." "What a tough man you've turned out to be." "Stop it mom, I'm gonna spill it... mom... mom." "Nakaba, are you alright?" "So which is it?" "What?" "It's not a case of 'What?" "'" "Ouch... ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!" "Ouch, ouch!" "Is this plaster to cure your hang-over or to heal your wound?" "For my wound." "It's not working is it?" "Didn't your parents do anything?" "Yeah..." "My mom brought the plaster and dad stuck it here." "It's so painful, it makes me feel faint." "Are your parents at home today?" "Dunno." "Riichi..." "The gang are waiting outside again." "What?" "It's Sada, isn't it?" "Oi, you!" "You need to hide behind your teacher's skirt, do you?" "Please don't." "Don't mind them." "We adults have got important things to talk about." "I don't have time for kids like you." "Just stop it now." "Young gentlemen, where are you from?" "Tadaoka Elementary School?" "Young gentlemen, where are you from?" "What is she?" "A freak!" "Who are you calling a freak?" "Excuse me?" "You!" "You're from Tokyo, aren't you!" "Young gentleman, it's narrow mindedness like yours that's causing all the wars." "What if someone you loved was to become a victim?" "How would you feel?" "Teacher, you're wasting your time." "You can't teach a fool." "What's that supposed to mean?" "See, I told you he was an idiot." "Get the hell out of here." "I'm back." "Okay." "Where's dad?" "Yoshikazu's house." "Your mom is still at work, you see." "Wait inside." "I'm gonna get my dad now." "How do you do?" "I'm Miss Ito, the teacher in charge of 6th grade." "Here, here..." "let me offer you some tea." "Thank you very much." "I just made some porridge in that messy kitchen." "Could I tempt you to try some, teacher?" "No thank you, please don't worry about me." "Ah..." "I see." "Ouch, hot, hot, hot." "Sorry, silly me, it's yours." "Excuse me... are you single?" "Oh, teacher." " Hello." " Hello." "There you are." "Riichi's teacher has been waiting." "How do you do?" "Not bad, is she?" "Don't be rude to the teacher." "I'm really sorry, teacher." "Behave yourself." "You, you're very lucky, everyone is taking your side." "What do you want here?" "Are you here empty handed?" "Stop it." "Shut up!" "Sorry, teacher." "Do you always come to other people's houses?" "Are you here to make some sort of ridiculous accusation?" "Ignorant animal!" "Say sorry to Miss Maki." "Did you say Miss Maki?" "I'm sorry, I should have brought something with me." "But I'm not here to make ridiculous accusations." "Come with me." "Excuse me teacher." "What do all of you want?" "Stop being silly." " You shut your mouth, cow." " Please, no!" "I'm so sorry, teacher." "Come here!" "Are you alright?" "I'm sorry." "It's none of your business, you bitch!" "Stop it." "Sorry, teacher." "Bastard!" "Leave it there, wait, wait." "You are only making this cretin get more worked up." "But..." "Leave it." "I'm dead serious." "So what!" "Lift your ass up round here!" "I said, lift your ass up round here!" "Why do I have to?" "Oi, just shut up and do what your father says." "Just do it!" "Here you are." "I'm sorry." "I'm really very sorry, teacher." "Teacher, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget, so please forgive him." "Right, let's go, let's go." "Clench your teeth." "I apologize for what happened." "I'm sorry..." "I'm going to write it first, so pay attention." "One, two, three..." "and don't forget the last stroke." "In here..." "Ok, this is read as SHINOBU." "And it means 'to be patient'." "Do you all understand?" "I'm going to write the next one, so watch carefully how I write it." "Hey... hey." "Isn't that your friend there?" "Yeah, what's he doing there?" "He's always with his granny, isn't he?" "I saw the two of them the other day, by the river." "Kotetsu!" "What are you doing there?" "Just put it down, will you?" "What are you doing anyway?" "Has she lost anything there?" "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "Do you want us to give her a hand?" "That's alright." "She'll never ever find it." "You..." "Ouchi, come on, what are you doing?" "I'm back by popular demand." "Sorry to trouble you." "Look at you..." "Shut up!" "Just get the futon ready, I'm going to bed." "Bed?" "Who's that?" "Toshi... don't leave me alone." "Akemi!" "Come here quick." "Ouch, I cut myself at the corner of the street." "I cut myself." "What are you doing?" "Just come here now." "Riichi, take that off." "More!" "Bastard..." "Mom, does your tummy hurt?" "Today, the Apollo 11 space rocket is finally ready in the United States to..." "How lucky..." "I want to go to the moon too..." "For what?" "Just a dream, a romantic dream." "You just don't get it, do you?" "Sorry." "Hey!" "Do you think we will be able to go there in the future?" "Maybe, when everything's been tested." "I've just finished work." " Well done." " Well done." "It's all to do with harmony and the penis of humanity." "Penis?" "What do you mean?" "You mean progress, right?" " Chiri, your turn." " OK." "Harmony and the progress of humanity, is the slogan of the International Expo, you know." "Now why should I be expected to know that?" "What's wrong?" "There's some stuff to eat in the fridge." "She cooked some for us." "What are we going to do from tomorrow with no money?" "The only things you worry about are food and money, yeah?" "Can't you see, that's why I'm doing this" "Look." "Don't you think it just looks like medicine?" "Which wrappings make it look more like medicine?" "You must be joking." "It's so obvious." "It looks like crap." "Just a minute." "What's with you?" "What's it to you?" "You little..." "Second prize!" "Wow..." "See I told you, this fellow was cool." "He always wins second prize." "Genius!" "He's the No.1 in Japan!" "Do you win first prize very often?" "Get lost!" "Riichi!" "Where are you going?" "So, he's only good at pulling prizes from the lucky draw." "Nakaba!" "What's wrong?" "Has something happened?" "Teacher..." "Have you been crying?" "No, of course not..." "You have..." "Never mind, go in." "Here you are." "Thank you." "Does it suit me?" "Yes." "Excuse me a second." "Hello, Ito speaking." "Hi..." "I'm sorry, I have a pupil with me." "I'll call you back later." "Don't say things like that now..." "Don't worry, I'm alright." "Really..." "I'll go and speak to your parents again." "Don't worry" "You'll end up getting kicked again." "It's no use trying to reason with an idiot." "Why do you say that?" "If you give up, nothing can be changed..." "Your mother..." "I wonder where she is now..." "Hey..." "What?" "Did I..." "Did I really come out from mom and dad's curly, hairy black-parts?" "Well, I guess that's normally the case..." "For everyone?" "Is it the same for everyone?" "The Christmas person is saying we come from somewhere else." "Is it Santa?" "It's not quite Santa Claus, is it?" "So how about Santa, does that guy also have curly, hairy black-parts?" "I don't know." "You don't know that?" "Aren't you supposed to be a teacher?" "Maybe I'm not." "Well..." "Sounds like your family is worse than mine..." "Do these things happen to you, too?" "My big brother..." "He's disgusting." "You will understand your dad... one day... our foot steps..." "Then I will hold your shaking shoulder..." "Dream about a happy future and good night..." "Good night, good night baby..." "please don't cry." "Dream about a happy future and good night..." "Good night, good night baby..." "please don't cry." "Dream about a happy future and good night..." "Hey, Kotetsu!" "Where are you going?" "Where's your granny?" "In a care home?" "Yeah, a care home." "It's where many grandmothers and grandfathers have to go." "Hey, what was your granny looking for the other day?" "I don't really know..." "Anyway, she just kept saying:" "'Paints', 'paints'..." "It was around spring-time that she started to become forgetful." "Suddenly, she started to look for things like paints." "Then she cries..." "They must be very important to her." "But I've no idea why she was looking for them in the river." "Granny used to paint..." "but mom and dad didn't know it." "They gave her a painting as a present, but it didn't make her happy." "What's that you have?" "I'm going away." "Mom and dad are useless." "I want to be on my own for a while." "I know I keep saying the same thing, but..." "Oh dear." "Looks like he won't be back for a while..." "So I guess mother will return soon." "You know her whereabouts?" "I can easily guess." "It's not the first time." "Why can't they make more effort?" "You're right." "You are." "My father used to make such a fuss over him." "Hey." "How much have you got on you?" "For a train ticket?" "Don't be stupid, it's for an air ticket." "I'm not slumming it on a train." "Go on." "Go on." "Ooops, my knife." "Why don't you take some with you?" "I don't want any." "Alright grandpa, see you." "Take care of yourself..." "Apollo 11 now safely in orbit, is set to continue its journey to the moon without any problems..." "Sorry I'm late, sorry." "You're really late." "Hey, Riichi's here." "Oh, you've finally made it." "Apollo 11 will soon land on the moon with only a slight delay in its schedule." "The astronauts are well and no space sickness has been reported yet..." "Apollo eleveeeeeeen!" "Can you see me!" "Apolloooooo!" "When I visited my cousin's place... there were a lot of people doing strict training for something." "So I guess if we go there, we can train with them." "That's a good idea." "How far is it?" "It's close, it's close." "It's across the water, but we can use the ferry." "Is it an island?" " It's in Shikoku." " Shikoku?" "!" "Let me see it." "Akemi." "Here you are." "Akemi!" "What?" "What's up?" "Well, stranger..." "What's this?" "What the hell does he want?" "He's a weirdo, isn't he?" "Sorry, just a second." "That's the way to do it." "Young thugs, here we go!" "Yeah!" "Ah!" "You bastard!" "Son of a bitch!" "Son of a bitch!" "More, more!" "Thank you very much." "Hey, hey, what did he give you?" "I'm not going to show you!" "Please let me see it." "Shut up, you bastards." "Just shut up." "Just fuck off!" "Think yourselves lucky." "What does it eat?" "Do you know how it's going to breathe?" "Hello." "It's smiling, it's smiling." "Yeah." "Look, it's swimming, it's so cute." "Yeah, swimming." "Doesn't it need food?" "We're nearly broke." "I know, but what about an iced coffee?" "Hey." "They're the biggest hit in the United States right now!" "If you go over there, everyone, from the President to the normal citizens..." "All the Americans are looking at the sky through these you know." "And they should know." "You can even see Captain Armstrong on Apollo 11." " Oi!" " Ouch!" "Are you suggesting I'm a liar?" "We don't know you that well..." "That's a total rip off, it's obvious." "Let's go!" "Hey, come on." "Wait there!" "You kids don't know what you're missing." "You just don't know!" "You see, even the Captain of the Apollo 11..." "He isn't going to stay on the moon forever." "He's coming back soon." "If you don't see it now..." "Well, you'll always regret it." "You boys..." "Armstrong... on the moon..." "now showing..." "Hey, how far is it to the ferry?" "Help..." "I'm a tired boy..." "Hang on." "It's boiling." "We're taking the ferry to here..." "Yeah." "Where exactly do your relatives live?" "That's a good point..." "I don't know..." "The place is called Cape Hashizuri." "I don't know how they write Hashizuri..." "Hashizuri..." "Hashizuri..." "This last ideogram, 'zuri'..." "how do they write 'zuri' then?" "No idea." "Let's think... zuri... zuri..." "Hashizuri..." "Oh no, I don't believe it." "It took ages to walk this short distance here..." "Then we have to go across to Shikoku then have to walk until... here." "Oh no..." "It's not a case of 'Oh No... '" "You idiot, you're a total idiot!" "I'm starving..." "Oh, that's good." "Thank you." "Hey..." "Why are you drawing a mountain..." "here at the seaside?" "Because that's what I can see." "In your memory, right?" "So much happened, and..." "I can't go back anymore..." "Is that your house?" "Hey..." "Does painting make you happy?" "Yes, it does." "It does make me happy." "Let's go home." "What?" "Why's that?" "Wherever we go... however far we walk ...everything stays the same." "And our training..." "Before that, let's get some paints for granny again." "That school competition..." "after the summer holiday." "But the port is just around the corner there, you know..." "The first prize is paints." "I know but..." "Never mind." "What about that ferry trip..." "Never mind." "Okay?" "It's delicious, isn't it?" "Yeah, so nice." "Let's have that banana." "Yeah, have that banana too." "Could you please call a police car here?" "We've got no money" "Please get us a police car" "I want some more to eat..." "I'm getting thirsty too." "Don't run, you're not allowed to run in here." "Riichi..." "Mom... where have you been?" "Excuse me... can you give me more of those bottle tops?" "Hey, you idiot." "This way, let's go!" " Alright!" " Alright!" "Ouch!" "Ouch..." "Oh no!" "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." "sorry... so sorry." "You should be more careful... oh no..." "what did you do, what's your name?" "Sorry." "Just be careful next time..." "I'm really sorry." "I'm really sorry." "Here?" "That's not right, wait..." "You've just done it again." "Look." "Stop acting like a fool." "Let's go." "Ready!" "If we're stealing so many things anyway..." "What?" "Can't we just steal paints too..." "to save us time..." "Don't you know the meaning of acting in good faith?" "But we're stealing everything anyway..." "Hey!" "'There has to be a loss before a gain'." "Let's do the rest tomorrow." " Alright." " See you then!" "OK!" "See you" "Hey you." "What?" "You made her cry, didn't you?" "Are you one of her students?" "A man mustn't make a woman cry, don't you know that?" "That's true" "You are totally right." "I thought I knew that..." "If you make her cry again..." "I'll kill you." "Please do." "Sorry to keep you waiting..." "What's wrong?" "Riichi, I'm going to turn now." "Gasu, what happened?" "Gasu, are you alright?" "Okay, you guys." "Riichi... sorry." "I couldn't protect it..." "Kotetsu!" "Give me that stuff." "Let's get them!" "Ouch... ouch..." "Hey, hey, hey..." "You could've told us what you were up to, we're reasonable people." "Oh, can you make sure to open it up a bit more." "Hey, hey, isn't it much bigger than the original?" "Just shut up and work." "This is amazing..." "FIRST PRIZE APOLLO MOON LANDING" "I don't know... what to say." "Thanks." "Oh, forget it, let's give it to your granny now!" "I'm going to hide it by the river." " See you later." " See you." "We haven't seen her since this morning." "Do you boys know where she could be?" "By the river." "What are you doing?" "There's going to be a factory built here." "These holes will be filled in and there'll be factories here next year." "OK." "Aren't you going to grow strawberries any more?" "You didn't have much luck." "No luck at all." "There won't be any more poison here from now..." "You just didn't have any luck." "I wonder where dad's gone..." "Yeah..." "This hole... dad said he made it a long time ago." "Stupid..." "He's full of it, isn't he?" "Don't say things like that." "So what made this hole then?" "A bomb in the war?" "This hole... is a symbol of our glory." "Many years ago... our ancestors built an ancient civilization here." "Then put up a massive pillar... right here." "This hole is all that's left of it... but those invaders from the Imperial Court..." "As police tried to control the situation, the students used petrol to block their path." "As the intense flames spread throughout the buildings, 39 students were evacuated..." "Although the fire was put out shortly after... these radical student demonstrations are occurring more frequently..." "Hey, mom, mom!" "What happened then?" "By this afternoon a total number of 250 people had been arrested." "What's going on?" "Oh!" "Take this, you waster!" "Get out of my way!" "Give me that, you bitch!" "Hey, what are you up to?" "Nothing to eat?" "What's wrong?" "It's just like what Nakaba said..." "You can't teach a fool." "What do you mean?" "What the hell!" "What?" "Hey, what's the use of creating such fools?" "Me?" "Come on, what do you really mean?" "Well, it's such an unfair world..." "What do you mean?" "Hey, hey... shall we make love?" "Happy New Year to all of you." "Finally 1970 is here..." "From the 1960s, the years of growth to the 1970s..." "Hey, Toshi!" "Don't go!" "Shut your mouth!" "Hey, Toshi, don't go home, I want to be with you all the way to hell." "Japan will be the center of the world's attention..." "The common wish of all humanity is..." "Never mind... yeah?" "Ah... this?" "Did someone hurt you?" "No, no..." "I burnt myself while cooking." "Then that someone put this on for me..." "I see." "You're graduating soon, aren't you?" "Be a proper man." "So you like men?" "Yeah, I like real men very much." "Nothing better than real men." "But boring men are terrible, aren't they?" "The teacher in charge of 6th grade likes men a lot." "Curly, hairy black-marks woman!" "Wait... stop, what are you saying?" "Stop it!" "Stop it."

"Who do you think takes care of you?" "It's not you for sure!" "You brat!" "You're getting tough aren't you?" "He's finally becoming a man, isn't he?" "Are you talking about Toshi?" "Who said you won?" "What?" "Fantastic!" "You're fantastic!" "Can I have penis and harmony with you!" "It's not penis!" "It's progress." "Is that right?" "You're all idiots." "Hey, you guys."
