"A call from Tokyo." "Hello?" "Who is it?" "Fumiya?" "Is Mr. Satake in?" "He is in, that thick-head." "Hello, it's me." "I got here about 5 pm" "Takako was really sick." "She suffered a lot but she's sleeping now." "No operation is necessary maybe I'll be home tomorrow." "I may be late." "Good night." "Let's have more sake." "More sake, please." "You still on the line?" "Good night." "Hello?" "I'm through." "Bring more sake." "You were good." "I'm used to it." "Setsuko, don't tell him." "Have more sake." "Let's sing." "When violets begin to bloom..." "Girls' revue?" "We'd skip school to see it." "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "I feel a little sick." "You all right?" "What's up?" "Shall I make your bed?" "Mrs. Satake will be back tomorrow." "Did your brother get the job?" "I heard he did." "Thank you." "Good." "Where will he work?" "In Sendai." "Can your parents do without him?" "Is it all right?" "Yes." "I have another brother." "What does he do?" "He teaches school." "Your parents have no worries." "It's good you're all well." "Thank you." "Shall I make some tea?" "No." "You may go to bed." "Then, good night, sir." "Pity I missed this baseball game." "Sure." "I like "goodbye homers."" "What's wrong?" "I have a headache." "Because you drank too much." "She forced her, right?" "Don't drink anymore." "What a selfish aunt!" "Look!" "So many!" "Look!" "Come and see!" "What?" "Just come." "What?" "Look!" "Doesn't it resemble someone?" "That big, slow one." "Don't say that." "It does, huh?" "I don't think so." "Too late to flatter that one?" "It sure looks like him." "Who?" "Uncle?" "Don't be so blunt." "Good morning, Mr. Thick-Head." "Eat, Mr. Thick-Head." "Another one did!" "Eat!" "Eat!" "Stolen again!" "What a dull-witted guy!" "Uncle can't eat at all." "Don't blame me when you get hungry!" "Where's your bag?" "Don't you need it?" "Setsuko, go get his bag." "Fumi, Uncle's bag." "Your tie's askew." "Go get a haircut." "Enough!" "There are no bald carps?" "Uncle finally ate!" "That long, thin one." "It looks like... my husband." "Exactly." "Don't catch cold, swimming there." "Where is he now?" "Back in Paris from Lyons." "I wish my man would go far away." "Far?" "Where?" "Anywhere is fine." "If he can't see me." "There she goes again." "She's obsessed." "Nice day, isn't it?" "Stay another night?" "I have to get back by Tuesday to see a baseball game." "What about you?" "Look!" "Your husband's there." "Really!" "He didn't say he'd come." "Is he alone?" "Evidently." "It's odd." "He isn't a baseball fan." "He has a cigarette." "He's looking for a match... there she is!" "Who?" "I don't know." "Who is she?" "A geisha?" "I don't think so." "Bar hostess?" "Maybe she works at his favorite bar?" "She's pretty." "You look pale." "Liar!" "Jealous?" "Nonsense!" "They seem close." "Not angry?" "No." "How great!" "I'll make him buy me something." "Maybe a kimono." "Eventually this will cost him a lot." "Can't be helped." "Crime doesn't pay." "Poor man!" "Your attention, please!" "Mrs. Taeko Satake!" "Mrs. Taeko Satake!" "Please go home immediately." "I wonder what happened." "Mrs. Taeko Satake!" "Mrs. Taeko satake!" "Please leave immediately!" "What happened?" "Miss Satake is here." "So, you phoned?" "No." "She did it herself." "Welcome home." "What's up?" "Well..." "They announced it so loud" "I was shocked." "Bring some cold pop." "Thank you." "About that spa..." "Something urgent?" "Have you heard?" "A marriage interview for me." "What's wrong with that?" "But I don't want an interview." "What are you saying?" "Go to it." "You approve?" "Of course!" "What a stupid idea!" "No thanks!" "You can't play forever." "How old are you?" "I'm 21 now." "I won't marry for a while." "What a thing to say!" "May I ask you something?" "Are you happy?" "Yes." "You're lying." "I can tell." "You and Uncle married by arrangement." "So what?" "You aren't getting along." "In many ways we get along." "No, you don't." "You lied to him to get to the spa." "Because I wanted to go." "You came, too." "Why not tell him the truth?" "You're still a child." "I don't like adults." "You thought of that fat carp as Uncle." "Poor Uncle!" "I won't take you along anymore." "If I get married" "I'll never speak ill of my husband." "I won't marry such a man." "I'll look for my own husband." "Some girl!" "But you'll soon understand." "I don't want to." "I'll never call my husband Mr. Thick-Head." "The President wants you." "He wants me?" "It's been a long time." "You called, sir?" "Your father-in-law came." "Sit down." "I came to see him." "Seems you're busy." "How's business?" "Fluctuations will continue until this autumn" "Is that so?" "A guest, Mr. Satake." "For me?" "Then, will you excuse me?" "Listen... will you tell Taeko to come home?" "Excuse me." "I'll send Satake abroad one of these days." "What's up?" "I got the job." "Really?" "Congratulations!" "Be my guarantor." "Sure." "You busy?" "Why?" "Let's drink." "I pay?" "No, I will." "Sure?" "To celebrate." "Where?" "At a cutlet shop near my place." "They serve big but cheap ones." "Come again at 5:00" "I'll be waiting outside." "See you then." "Calorie house." "Wasn't the cutlet good?" "Sure." "I stuffed." "Other food's good, too." "Want more?" "No thanks." "Hey, number 7 doesn't work!" "Come to my place." "A lot came out." "Don't do it too strongly." "Why not come to my place?" "Not today." "Scared of your wife?" "No." "It went in." "No balls?" "Doesn't work?" "Hey, number 18 doesn't work!" "Don't break it." "It doesn't work." "Hitting won't help." "Which hole?" "Here." "Hey, corporal." "You?" "It's you!" "Nice to see you." "It's been a long time." "Why not come inside?" "Who's he?" "We were in the same platoon." "Please come in." "You too." "Come in." "Please." "Hey, guests!" "Been a long time." "Yeah." "You haven't changed at all." "You, either." "Glad you're well." "Thank you, but I got old." "My wife." "He was my boss." "I ran into Takahashi at Shibuya Station." "I met Fujita in Ginza." "He in Tokyo, too?" "He runs an auto repair shop." "Have some." "I'm surprised to see you." "So am I." "I started this business recently." "Because you hit it, I met my old corporal." "Sorry about that." "That's all right." "I'm really glad." "How's business?" "Looks good." "It's so-so." "But..." "I think it'll slow down before long" "Not a decent business but it's enjoyable." "Do you play pachinko often?" "No, today's my first." "What about you?" "Sometimes." "I think I've seen you here." "I come sometimes." "It's no good." "Pachinko shouldn't be the rage." "I regret it." "Have some more." "I know why it's the rage." "It's fun." "Iit shouldn't be regarded as fun." "If so, the world won't improve." "Think so?" "It was fun back then...in singapore." "Yeah." "But no more war." "I'm fed up." "Rright." "I feel the same." "I wonder how it is in north bridge." "I wonder how it is, too." "I liked the palm trees." "And the sky was so clear you could see so many stars." "Right!" "I liked the southern cross." "I just loved it!" "My buddy wanted to ride out first in a charge." "He was brave, but he was killed in action." "Now I'm entering holding his ashes in my arms the streets of singapore in the morning." "Buddy, look at the peaceful blue ocean." "See the twinkling southern cross off maracca day after day we charged the enemy." "And together we watch those sorties..." "Grandpa, aunt Taeko's here." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "I'm coming." "Hurry!" "I told him." "Who's the potential groom?" "The son of an embassy secretary." "Have you met him?" "Not yet." "He and my husband went to the same school." "Hello." "We're talking about Setsuko." "Please go with her." "Where?" "The kabuki theater." "I sent you money again." "Don't waste it." "It's hard on Mokichi." "I don't waste money." "That's good." "And... what about this Sunday?" "All right." "Did Setsuko agree to the interview?" "Finally." "Last evening." "Did brother tell her?" "She complained at first he scolded her." "I'm amazed she agreed." "Reluctantly." "She's like me." "My father scolded me." "You cried that time." "I did?" "What did Setsuko do?" "She went to her room and left this morning." "What a girl!" "She's different from us." "Yes." "She reads foreign novels." "I read some and was shocked today's books are scandalous." "Have you found Setsuko?" "No." "In the toilet?" "No." "I looked everywhere." "I wonder where she is." "The restaurant?" "Maybe." "Let's look." "Thanks." "I won't trouble you." "I hope not." "Don't worry." "Why not go out?" "Such a nice day." "Let's go." "Been there many times?" "Yes." "It's fun." "The one at the end finally passes the others." "It's thrilling." "It's really exciting." "Let's go." "Fine, I'll go." "You'll find it fascinating." "Pachinko is no match." "But Pachinko is nice." "In short... while in the crowd you can rise above self." "You can easily be alone." "You and balls alone." "You can forget worldly affairs..." "and... adapt yourself to the balls." "Pure solitude." "That's the charm a happy sense of solitude." "Bicycle races are more fun." "Balls riding on bicycles." "watching the audience is fun already." "Fumi!" "When did you come?" "Just now." "You called, sir?" "I'm going out." "Aren't you at a marriage meeting?" "I slipped out pretending to go to the toilet." "Without telling them?" "They're looking for you." "So what?" "You shouldn't do this." "I don't like marriage meetings." "Still, you must go back." "No." "They're looking for you." "Let's go." "You must go." "Come!" "No!" "You must!" "Let's go." "I'll take you." "Where?" "The theater." "Great!" "Let's go." "Come!" "Let's go!" "Who is Setsuko's groom?" "I don't know." "I never met him." "Will she be shy?" "Not today's kids." "What about you?" "I was shy." "Really!" "I'll be, too." "Uncle!" "You're here?" "Why here?" "I came again." "You shouldn't have." "Who cares?" "So what?" "It's starting." "Great!" "Which ones did you buy?" "Red and black." "Red's no good." "He passed the others!" "You go home now." "It's still early." "How's it going?" "Quit and go home." "Not yet." "I'm starting to win." "Doing all right?" "Try number 4." "Number 4." "It's a winner." "Setsuko, go home." "Not yet." "Don't involve me." "I'll go." "Do so." "Some girl!" "I'll really leave." "Go ahead." "Uncle, look!" "I'm leaving." "Take her to the station." "Goodbye." "Leaving?" "I must get up early." "Good night." "Setsuko, stop and go home." "I will." "Good night." "You came on your own." "Don't say I was with you." "I know." "Sure?" "Number 16 doesn't work!" "Hot!" "Hot but good." "Why did you skip the meeting?" "Because I didn't like it." "Meeting him would have been fun." "I doubt it." "He might be a very nice guy." "Forget it." "Really?" "Arranged marriages aren't always bad." "Who says?" "What counts is his personality." "I don't love him." "Love is an accumulation." "You'll soon fall for him." "You're so simple." "What's wrong with being simple?" "I think it's like animals." "Listen, it seems you think too much." "All marriage is the same." "Delicious, huh?" "Sure is." "The soup's good, too." "It should be - cheap but good." "Lot's of good cheap food around." "I know another shop." "Take me there." "Your aunt will get cross." "So what?" "More noodles?" "No thanks." "One more!" "Plenty of soup!" "Setsuko came?" "When?" "An hour after your left." "I took her to the theater." "But she didn't come." "I wonder what's on her mind." "She shouldn't have done that." "She was rude to that young man." "Isn't that right?" "Really rude." "Yes, she was." "Because her parents spoil her." "They should be more strict." "You scold her, will you?" "All right." "Do so." "I'm serious." "She embarrassed me so much today." "She's a problem." "She sure is!" "Uncle?" "You?" "Didn't you go home?" "My mother'd get mad." "So will your aunt." "Aunty's all right." "But mother is so nosy." "Did aunty go to bed?" "She's still up." "Don't tell her I came." "Setsuko!" "Aunty, good evening." "look what you did." "I'm sorry." "I won't speak to you." "Scold her!" "Bawl her out!" "Sit down, Setsuko." "Sit down." "It was wrong of you." "Not to attend the meeting." "You were rude to the man." "It was too much." "He's right." "You ought to be more thoughtful." "You're supposed to be an adult but you act childish." "Yes." "Listen well." "Everyone's worried about you yet, you're selfish." "Why pick on me?" "Didn't I warn you?" "Trying to get a medal?" "Never mind." "I won these." "Give half to non-Chan." "I still have some." "I'll go again." "Don't flip it too hard." "Do it this way." "Let it go slowly... then..." "Dear!" "You were with Setsuko!" "Why did you lie?" "Well, I didn't..." "Didn't what?" "Didn't lie." "What, then?" "I didn't tell you, that's all." "You knew about the marriage meeting didn't you?" "Yes." "I took her to the theater." "But she didn't come." "He really took me there." "Then why didn't you come?" "Where did you go?" "That's all right." "It's not all right." "She didn't want to meet him." "So what?" "It can't be helped." "What can't be helped?" "If you force her to marry they'll only end up like us." "Really?" "Very well." "I understand." "Don't you mind?" "Can't help it." "It can't be helped." "When did that happen?" "Ten days ago." "Haven't you talked since?" "How's he doing?" "He wants to talk." "Like the other night." "I decided to go to bed early." "He knocked on my door and kept calling me." "I'm amazed you can endure." "I couldn't last so long." "I don't want to talk, that's all." "You're selfish." "You lied to him, too." "All married couples lie to one another." "Really?" "Not all are like that." "Some never lie." "If so, they're bored with each other." "Compared with them, we're much better." "Are we?" "Far from it?" "Generally speaking, you ask too much." "Why?" "You'd skip school just because you didn't like your hairdo." "It's in the past!" "You haven't changed." "You want everything your way." "You're totally selfish." "Hello." "Is your husband well?" "May we talk?" "Yes?" "5,000 yen." "I need money." "Glad you're getting along." "Then...excuse me." "Hey, wait!" "Give it." "What?" "The money." "Want it back?" "Just go straight home." "Nice, isn't he?" "Not necessarily." "Really?" "Yours is nice, too." "You're selfish." "I'm not." "Yes, you are." "Whatever you say." "You love him after all." "No, I don't." "You do." "Otherwise you'd have divorced him." "You don't understand." "What?" "My feelings." "I do understand." "You don't!" "I'll go!" "Why so soon?" "Listen..." "What?" "Your supper's ready." "I'm coming." "She's coming, sir." "Give me rice." "I'm hungry." "Welcome home." "I'm already eating." "Why not eat?" "Dear?" "Don't eat like that!" "Sorry, I forgot." "Do you always eat like that?" "Does she?" "Does he eat like that?" "Say yes." "Only when alone." "Didn't I say not to?" "Yes." "Sorry, but I forgot." "Then, please don't." "I won't." "I just forgot." "She told me off." "Does your family do this?" "Yes." "In Saitama?" "In Nagano too." "Maybe not in Tokyo." "It's tasty." "Do you do this?" "No, sir." "Why not?" "Mrs. Satake hates it." "Is that so?" "Who is it?" "Me." "Why not eat?" "I'm not hungry." "Where is she?" "Taking a bath." "Will you tell her to come upstairs?" "Fumi!" "You want me?" "Sit down." "No thanks." "Talk." "You're in a bad mood." "I don't think so." "Just sit down." "No, thank you." "Sorry for a while ago." "I didn't know you hated it so much." "Eat anyway you like." "No." "I won't." "My folks taught me to eat like that." "Is it wrong?" "I'm not saying it's wrong." "I'll stop." "I wonder why it's always like this." "What?" "For example, the cigarettes I smoke." "You don't want me to smoke Rising Sun?" "But I like the brand-cheap but good." "Trains too." "You don't like third class." "But I like it-I can relax." "It's like Rising Sun." "I'm comfortable with it." "It's the way I was raised." "Too bad, I was raised differently." "I'm talking about me." "You needn't change." "Don't smoke Rising Sun." "Everyone has his own way." "In my case, after all... intimate, primitive and familiar..." "I like things in that way." "You do?" "I'd ride in first class, too... if it was only faster." "That's enough." "I'll stop." "You may not like it but I like things familiar." "So do I. So let me do as I please about trains, first class is familiar to me." "There's something else too." "Enough!" "Listen..." "Passengers, we're arriving at Hamamatsu in five minutes, at 12:20." "The platform is on the left." "A five-minute stop." "We'll arrive at Nagoya at 2:04." "Kyoto at 4:22." "Osaka at 5:00 pm." "The President wants you." "Sir?" "A ticket for Uruguay the day after tomorrow." "You've got it?" "It's sudden." "Can you be ready?" "I'll make it." "You'll take the flight, huh?" "Your passport's ready." "Sorry it's so abrupt." "That's all right." "Then..." "Wait." "Take today off." "We'll have lunch tomorrow." "See you then." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Mrs. Satake?" "Right after you left..." "She went out?" "She said to give you this." "Let me do as I please for awhile." "When will she return?" "Within a few days." "Will you send a telegram?" "My number is 1025." "To Taeko Satake in care of H. Murayama" "Rikyu Road 33" "Suma Ward, Kobe" "Something to discuss." "Come home soon." "Yes. "Come home soon." From Mokichi" "That's all." "Send it now." "I'm going abroad." "Bring my suitcase." "What about Mrs. Satake?" "I wired her just now." "Bring me the one..." "like this." "I wonder what happened." "She should come." "Too late." "The corporal has gone." "It' a fine day." "I'm glad." "Shall we still wait?" "You may leave." "I'll stay a little longer." "It's time she were back did you wire her?" "Yesterday?" "Then she had enough time." "It's Her!" "I'm glad you're back." "But you're late." "What were you doing?" "You're so late." "Uncle already left." "What were you doing?" "He looked lonely." "You read the telegram?" "Why did you take a trip?" "I felt like it." "Come home sooner." "The telegram came when I was out." "We worried because you didn't come." "Sorry, but I didn't know." "He wired you day before yesterday." "Did you get it?" "Yes." "But you didn't come." "I didn't know what he was trying to say that's why." "Anyway." "You should have come home sooner!" "It's too late." "Enough!" "It's over." "Don't you mind at all?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Then I'll leave." "Me, too." "Did he say anything?" "Nothing, ma'am." "Who is it?" "Mr. Satake is back." "You go to bed now." "You're back?" "The plane had trouble." "Going to Uruguay, aren't you?" "Yes." "Montevideo." "What went wrong?" "Engine trouble." "We came back." "It'll leave tomorrow morning." "I'm tired." "What time tomorrow?" "Nine." "When did you get home?" "Two hours after you took off." "Really?" "How was the trip?" "I won't do it again." "What?" "Go away without telling you." "Do so." "It's your way." "No, I won't." "I read the telegram you sent but I didn't understand it." "Maybe it's my fault." "It was so sudden." "Didn't you know in advance?" "Not much." "I tried to tell you." "But you were in a bad mood." "You should have told me." "It was too sudden anyway." "Get up early?" "Sleepy?" "Well...no." "I'm hungry." "Will you eat something?" "So will I." "Let's go downstairs." "Cold?" "No." "We shouldn't wake the maid." "Do you know where things are?" "What things?" "Bowls, chopsticks..." "I'll find them." "Let's go." "Bread?" "I prefer tea on rice." "Tea on rice?" "With pickles."
