"Give me a smoke." "You're so kind." "The bar's been dead without you." "Why not come to our ship and play?" "Come to my bar this evening." "Mom!" "Thanks for taking care of my son." "Welcome." "I think of him as my grandson." "Any gift?" "I've been a good boy." "Sorry." "I'll bring you something tonight." "Let's go back to our room." "Play the baby to your mom." "A man came to see you twice while you were away." "He didn't give his name." "It seemed he had a past." "Why not quit working as a waitress?" "All work my be equal, but for your son's sake..." "Do you think I can get another job so easily?" "What counts is your will." "Try for the better." "Or find a good man and marry him." "A good man would run away from me." "If only my son grows up safely, fine." "I don't mind slaving for him at all." "Be a great man, son." "We came as we promised." "Let's drink." "Her presence makes a big difference, doesn't it?" "Madam, do me a favor." "I need money badly." "So soon?" "You just got back." "Wait until after you work harder for us." "I'll pay it back in a few days." "What do you need the money for?" "To thank the people who look after my son." "That's a convenient lie." "You've never had a child, huh?" "I'll lend you money." "Because I happen to like you." "Are you still up?" "He's been waiting for these." "The man I told you about came again today." "He's waiting in your room." "As a token of my thanks." "You're only embarassing us." "My son and I are very grateful to you." "You pay us enough every month, don't you?" "We aren't a day nursery, and I'm a drug salesman." "Please, for the sake of my son and me, all right?" "Get out!" "Omitsu!" "Don't act so familiar." "You're a stranger." "Is that all you can say to your ex?" "My ex walked out on me three long years ago." "How dare such and insincere man come here to see me?" "Abuse me if you like." "I'm ashamed of what I did then." "Yet I came to see you." "Try to understand how I feel." "In these miserable clothes, without any gift..." "I've been hanging around for nearly a month." "Tears of persuasion won't work with me anymore." "Let me be my son's father, just for a day, or even an hour." "Merely seeing him will be enough." "Are you his father?" "Then I should've let you stay here." "Don't bother!" "He's our enemy." "You're too stubborn." "What good will it do?" "Thanks for intervening, but seeing my son is enough." "A weakling like me would only make them suffer more." "I came to surprise you." "How is it with your man?" "I can't keep hating him forever." "Seems he's still out of work." "He's so anxious about it." "There are too many people." "He can't do heavy labor either." "With your dad?" "How nice!" "My man said he'd talk to his boss about you." "My neighbor's helping me to find work." "Maybe you'll be able to quit that job." "We'll manage to live, the three of us." "But I'm not very confident." "I have no luck with jobs." "Don't worry." "Go out with our son and have fun." "Or shall we have a nice supper together this evening?" "After all you're a real wife." "It's not bad for parents to love their child." "Dad, let's go home!" "It's hard to remember drug names." "Sedative Luminaretten..." "Nervine Tripanprau..." "What about my job?" "They said they have enough hands." "I did my best, but..." "I'm sorry." "Dad, let's go." "Apprentice Workmen Wanted" "Will you try again?" "Or I'll lose face." "I wish I were an executive." "I might lose my job anytime, too." "Do something." "A man like you shouldn't stick to a slut like me." "Who are you?" "I can't stand him cheapening me." "I promise to save your honor." "Calmed yourself?" "I'm used to that kind of trouble, all right?" "What brings you to the bar?" "Can't you quit that sort of work?" "Saying you'll feed me?" "I won't mind if we have to become beggars." "But what about our child?" "He'll be a beggar's son." "I'll work!" "I'll take any job." "I won't depend on anyone." "I'll slave for us!" "I want to be an ordinary mother, too!" "Apprentice Workmen Wanted" "Sorry, but you must leave." "I must work, no matter what." "Please!" "We need a stronger and more willing person." "I don't want to make the captain cross." "Do something." "He might give you a big amount of money." "Be more realistic." "About him, I'll settle it myself." "How was it?" "I have absolutely no luck with jobs." "Maybe I shouldn't stay here after all." "I'm only worsening our situation." "Don't be so weak, or you can't live." "I'll keep looking for work." "You be steady too." "Think about our son's future." "What comes first is how to feed him." "I'll work." "I'll fight with everything." "Don't worry." "I'll never disgrace you or our son." "It's Fumio." "He was run over by a car!" "He'll recover." "I promise you." "What about his arm?" "It'll take time to heal, so..." "From bad to worse, eh?" "What'll you do?" "I'll speak to the Madam." "I'll do anything to send our son to a good hospital." "About money, leave it to me." "I'll ask my old friends." "I'll get it." "Take good care of our son." "Don't tell me...?" ""Old friends"?" "You lied!" "How did you get that wound?" "Who asked you to do it?" "Your son will be a criminal's child." "Dad..." "Any gift?" "Tell your mother to buy you something." "Please turn yourself in." "Serve time, then we'll live together again." "Don't bother about me." "Dad, where are you going?" "Take care of our son." "It's your man." "He drowned himself!" "His last words for you." ""I'm better off dead." "Take good care of our son. "" "I hear he was your man." ""I'm better off dead." "Take good care of our son. "" "Weakling!" "Coward!" "Why must you die?" "Why flee from the world." "Men shouldn't do that!" "Dad...?" "Where's Dad?" "You're strong." "Be a strong man, sonny." "The End"
