"Come and have a drink you two." "You're most welcome." "Boss, kabuki is pretty interesting." "Boss, last week I went to a dramatic reading." "I think Karazo is really good." "Boss, here's a little kabuki for you." "Here's some Karazo." "Cut that out." "That's not very interesting at all." "More!" "Please." "I'll get it for you." "I'll get it." "No, I will." "You need some more to drink?" "I'll bring some right away." "No, don't worry, I'll take it out." "it's not that." "Could I have a glass?" "Certainly." "It must be tough being the Boss's favourites, keeping him amused all the time." "No, not really." "Here you are." "But you can probably get ahead faster like that." "That's what I'm hoping." "Theatre is entertaining, isn't it - as long as it's kabuki." "Here's" "Ooki!" "Hey Ooki." "Just wait till Aono gets back." "It doesn't work without him." "Hey you." "What are you doing back here?" "I was just having a glass...of water." "What about you?" "Oh, water." "I was going to have a glass of water, too." "Could I have a glass ...of water." "Here you go." "May I have a glass?" "Of water." "Please." "They're quite a combo!" "If you consider how much it would cost to hire a couple of comedians, they're cheap." "And besides, they can do a few other things besides sing and dance." "Boss, you're really terrible." "You have one child I hear." "That's right." "A son." "He's in university." "University?" "Yes." "That's really something!" "I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I just try to keep working and keep things going." "Wow, that must be tough." "Aono has a bunch of kids, too, doesn't he?" "Yes, he has ..." "let's see, uh four." "Three girls and a boy." "And his wife?" "Doesn't he have a wife?" "That's a sad story, but she died." "It must be tough." "I think so." "Boss, how about "Naniwa Bushi"." "Aono!" "Wait until Ooki gets back." "You're no good without him." "Welcome home, dear." "Are there people here?" "Yes." "Sadao's friends." "I see." "Dear, I have to tell you that I washed your sandals, but when I put them out to dry, some dog ran off with one of them." "There's only one now." "Be more careful." "One sandal is useless without the other." "Welcome home, Father." "Hello." "Make yourself at home everyone." "I'm bushed." "What about dinner?" "I'm full." "We're you out with the Boss again?" "Yeah." "Aono-san too?" "Yes." "The Boss really likes you two." "He can't drink, but he fakes it." "I see." "That can be difficult." "I think so." "Let's do it once more." "Let's do it standing." "OK." ""Akimoto-san, you still don't understand how I feel for you." "It's such a strong emotion, yet you don't notice."" ""Don't torture me!" "I'm just one of your father's employees."" ""What are you trying to say."" "Chieko, don't put it so coolly." "That line needs more emotion." "Right?" "That might be hard to do." "You're good at it, though." "What are they talking about in there?" "They're rehearsing a play." "Sadao's in the drama club." "Really?" "What's it about?" "There's a company employee who likes the Boss's daughter." "Sounds interesting." "But he doesn't listen to her at all." "Why not?" "That idiot." "There's a strike and the guy is one of the leaders." "Sounds stupid." "What part does Sadao play?" "That one." "That one?" "The leader of the strike." "That part." "He doesn't get the good parts." "Workers of the world listen!" "Hear the roar of the May Day crowd, the footsteps of marchers the voices of those that build the future." "Liberate yourself!" "Realise your true worth!" "Take the day off and fight the lies of bourgeois society." "Dear, are you going to sleep?" "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "It's late" "Hiroshi, here's your lunch!" "See you later!" "Father, you'll be late." "Father, you're ridiculous." "Father is still half asleep." "Yes." "Oh, I'm still at home." "Radio "Here's the weather report ..."" "See you later!" "Here you go." "Never mind, you have to hurry." "Wow!" "What is it, Father?" "2 2 7 6 5." "Ah rats." "What's that." "A drawing?" "I'm two off." "Don't do that." "You surprised as all." "It surprised me too." "You get so excited about 3,000 yen." "I'd like to know what you'd do if we won 100,000 yen in the lottery." "You'd probably lose the ticket." "I'd like to see about that." "But it was close." "Ask father about it will you?" "What?" "has something to talk to you about." "What?" "Her allowance?" "No." "There's someone who wants to marry Yasuko." "Who?" "Someone at the place where she works." "What did she say?" "She said she wanted him to meet you sometime." "How old is Yasuko now?" "Father!" "You're too much." "She's twenty." "Really?" "That would make you - what?" " 22?" "And you're 78, Father." "Don't you think you should meet him?" "22 and 20..." "What are you saying?" "You're funny." "We have to think about Yasuko, but we also have to think about you, too." "I'll be fine for now." ""I'll be fine for now" means that you're in season." "I'll wait for my ration." "Ration?" "That means that Yasuko got her guy on the black market." "She'd be mad if she heard that!" "I can't wait for grandchildren." "So it's 20 and 22..." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Hot isn't it?" "It's trouble, yes." "Trouble?" "I was talking about the weather." "Oh, the weather." "It's alright I guess." "Hey, you like to stick your nose in other people's business, right." "Stick my nose in other people's business?" "People know you, right?" "What's up?" "Is there someone you know who wants to get married?" "Sure, lots of people." "One is enough." "Someone for Hatsuko." "To Hatsuko?" "Just a minute." "Cabbage - 10 yen." "That's not it." "What's this?" "That's not it either." "What's wrong with you?" "Amnesia?" "You should talk..." "Not this." "Here?" "Wait." "This isn't it." "I'm so busy that ...this isn't it either." "Ah here it is." "Here." "Here." "How old is Hatsuko?" "22." "If she's 22, how about this one." "He's 28." "Would be happy to be adopted." "Character:" "Served honourably in the war." "Dependents:" "None." "Income:" "High." "Education:" "Graduate of the School for the Blind and Deaf." "If you don't like that one, this one graduated from a business school." "Good health." "Owns lots of houses." "That's nice." "Age: 69." "Hatsuko is 22." "It's no good, then." "How about this one?" "Age 27." "How about that?" "No dependents." "Health:" "Chronic Illness." "Seeks nurse." "Hey you!" "Where are you going?" "Yamakawa Kogyo KSK" "This figure is off." "It is?" "Is that possible?" "Yes, it is possible." "That's why it's off!" "No, it isn't." "Yes, it is." "You're the one who's wrong." "Me wrong?" "No I'm not." "Yes, you are." "Look. 1 - 9 - 7 - 4, then you have 1 - 8 - 0 - 5 1 - 8 - 0 - 5?" "It's 1 - 8 - 0 - 3." "1 - 8 - 0 - 3?" "Yes." "That's a 3?" "That's the first time I've seen a 3 that looks like that." "With those glasses, you'd think you could see that." "A baby could write better than that." "Can a baby write?" "Be more careful." "Aono-san?" "Yes." "Were you and Ooki-san with the Boss last night?" "Yes we were." "Did the boss have a guest?" "Yes." "Who was it?" "It was Ineguchi, the president of Maruichi Shoji." "What did they talk about?" "Did they talk about the company?" "Not that I remember." "We were just drinking." "It must be nice being the Boss's favourites." "It's tougher than it looks." "I don't think a young guy like you would find it interesting." "But you guys are section chiefs." "That must be nice." "Not really." "Good morning." "Employees Good morning." "Aono, do you have a second?" "Do you need something?" "Sorry about this, but could you come to my place later?" "Your place?" "Yes." "My wife has some errands for you to do." "Your wife?" "Two would be better." "Get Ooki to go with you." "But Ooki said he had a headache." "Do you feel alright?" "Yes, I'm fine." "Why?" "said you weren't." "I thought your colour was pale, and I was worried about your health." "You shouldn't worry the boss like that." "I was just telling about this, but could you two come over to my place." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "Thanks for coming." "Hello." "There was something that you wanted us to do?" "We're going to be having people over soon, so we were thinking we'd like to have the garden straightened up, and then..." "And after you're done with that, could you cut some firewood?" "Hey, thanks." "Sorry about this." "Are you guys doing anything tomorrow?" "No not all." "After all this, you must be tired." "Why don't you go to a hot spring in Izu and have a good soak." "You'll feel refreshed." "Here are some train tickets." "Go to the Kikuya in Yushima." "If you give them my name, they'll know what you came for." "The Boss is really understanding." "It's been a while since I've been to a hot spring." "I'm going to have a good soak tomorrow." ""Boss!" "just what were you doing in the war?" "You were out drinking with militarists "" "and officials every night!" "now you're buying up materials on the black market."" "you're now buying up materials on the black market. "" "What's that?" "Those are his lines from the play." "Oh." ""Comrades!" "The Boss says our demands are unjust During the war, he worked us to the bone and profits exploded." "Let's hear it." "Are we going to make him accept our demands? "" "Sadao!" "That's pretty loud." "What will the neighbours think?" "Is it really OK for you to be putting on a play like that?" "What do you mean 'OK'?" "Don't the police bother you?" "Father, that's all in the past." "I don't know why, but I'm scared." "That's why we have to say it." "I couldn't say such things to the Boss." "I'm so indebted to him." "That's right." "If you say things like that, you won't be able to get ahead in the world." "That's the way things work." "That way of thinking is out-moded, you know." "If you're afraid of afraid of getting fired, you can't say anything." "You end up groveling more than you should." "I see that you're one of those guys." "Just wait to you graduate and go out and work." "Then you'll understand." "That's right." "You had to do that." "But that's because the world is unjust." "It's a world the capitalists have made convenient just for themselves." "I don't understand what you're talking about." "You say some pretty difficult things." "You can say those kind of things, Sadao, but I want you to know what your father goes through." "That's right." "I know." "I know very well what he has to put up with." "Is that my ration sandal?" "It's broken." "Yes." "said that she was going to fix it?" "She said to leave it with her so she could throw it on the sewing machine." "Father, I could give someone your sandal and take their good one." "Hiroshi, don't be stupid." "It would be really simple!" "Father, you'll be here tomorrow, won't you?" "Tomorrow?" "I have to go out." "You're not going to be here?" "What are you doing?" "I'm going to Izu with Ooki." "Izu?" "That's nice." "A hot spring?" "Yes." "Wow!" "Is this for work?" "Yes." "We have an errand to do for the Boss." "This is terrible." "What?" "Father, tomorrow that guy is going to be here." "That guy?" "The guy I talked to you about this morning." "That's Mr. Kikuchi" "Children should keep quiet." "So he's coming?" "I know?" "Tomorrow Yasuko's boyfriend is coming!" "Oooh!" "Don't be stupid." "Miyoko, get the beds ready." "Help her out, Hiroshi." "Hey, Yasuko, I haven't heard, but what kind of guy is he." "What kind of guy?" "He's the son of an important person at the company." "An important person?" "He knows your Boss." "Yasuko, you've found someone really special." "Don't say things like that." "Tomorrow?" "What a mess!" "Hmm, the son of an important person." "That's good, I guess." "You'll be back late?" "Not especially." "I see." "The son of top guy in the company." "That's wonderful." "Thanks." "The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow." "Ah, that feels good!" "Let's have some beer." "Beer." "Beer?" "That's a good idea." "Let's call a maid in." "Hello." "We'd like a maid." "Hey look at this for a second." "It's their honeymoon." "It looks like it." "It makes me remember." "It was nice." "Where did you go on your honeymoon?" "Me?" "Where shall we go?" "Where shall we go?" ""Where shall we go? " That's what I asked my wife." "You asked her and then what?" "We talked about it." "And we decided not to go anywhere." "You didn't go anywhere?" "How about you?" "We took the natural course." "Natural course?" "We let things follow their natural course and got off at Ueno station." "There's a park near there." "Ueno Park?" "Yes." "We walked side by side and talked about our bright future." "We went around and around the park 20 times." "Twenty times?" "You must have been really tired." "So we let things follow their natural course." "What do you mean by that?" "We went home and slept." "I slept very well that night." "That was your honeymoon?" "It was really fun." "That's not much of a honeymoon." "Excuse me." "Did you call?" "Beer..." "It would be OK to have some, wouldn't it?" "Your boss said to give you some if you asked." "Thank you very much." "The Boss sure is understanding." "Yeah, he's probably the world's best Boss." "This is great!" "It sure is." "I'm going to get blasted." "I'm going to sing the "Naniwa Bushi."" "Excuse me." "The Boss asks that you bring these back to his place on your way back." "Did he say that?" "Yes." "All of it?" "Yes." "The bus is leaving in ten minutes." "In ten minutes?" "That's right." "We have to catch it." "I wonder what's happened to father." "He's so late." "I don't think I can wait any longer." "Good evening!" "Hiroshi!" "He's always playing pranks and causing trouble." "He's a funny kid." "Hiroshi!" "Hiroshi!" "Miyoko!" "What are you doing." "I'm hungry!" "Where are your manners?" "Kikuchi said he is going home." "I wonder what happened to father." "I don't know if this will interest you but ..." "I'm sorry about this, but I have an another appointment this evening." "Is that right?" "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." "Don't worry." "I'll come again soon." "Why don't you go with him part of the way." "I'll go too!" "Hiroshi!" "Thank you." "How was it?" "You must be refreshed after the dip in the hot spring." "Uh, yeah." "Don't tell the people at work." "They'll be jealous." "Uh, yeah." "Aono, you have several daughters right?" "That's right." "Can you have one of them come here tomorrow?" "Excuse me?" "We're having a lot of people over for my daughter's birthday party." "We need some people here to help.." "I'm not sure they would be of any use." "What are you saying?" "They can wash dishes and serve people." "Surely they can do that much." "Yes." "You can go now." "Aono/Yes." "And, you guys, two." "Come in the afternoon." "You can put on a little show." "Yes, sir." "Thank you." "That was quick." "He had to catch a train." "Can you wait a little for dinner?" "What do you think?" "He seems to be a nice guy." "But I don't know what to do." "You should go on your feelings." "I don't know what to do." "Did he say anything when you were out alone with him?" "No, not really." "Welcome home." "Welcome home." "Hello." "Welcome home." "Did he come over?" "Yes." "He was waiting for you to come home." "That's too bad." "What what was he like?" "He was OK." "He seemed a little stuck-up to me." "Hiroshi, watch your manners." "He said he'd come back again soon." "I see." "Father, didn't you get us any presents?" "No, we didn't have a chance." "What a surprise!" "What?" "Carrying the Boss's bags." "That sounds hard." "They're going to have fish tomorrow I think." "That was the errand?" "It would have been a big mess if you had been caught." "The Boss is a bit of a jerk, isn't he." "That's why he's rich." "Right Dad?" "Hiroshi!" "Thanks for dinner!" "Thanks for dinner!" "Kikuchi said that there would be some reorganisation at your place." "Reorganisation?" "Reorganisation means firing people, right?" "But even so, you'd be OK father." "The Boss trusts you." "It'd be OK wouldn't it." "Yes, I'd be alright." "In any case, they can't just reorganise." "The employees wouldn't stand for it." "That's right." "Will you go to the Boss' place tomorrow?" "They need some help over there." "What is it?" "The Boss asked me." "They're having a birthday party for his daughter and they need some people to help out." "You shouldn't do that, Hatsuko." "They shouldn't be using the family of company employees or things like that." "That's terrible." "But it can't be helped." "I owe the Boss favours." "I'll go." "Thanks." "I'll be there, too." "The stuff Father carried is the stuff they're going to have at the party." "I'll go too!" "I'll eat as much as I can!" "What are you talking about Hiroshi?" "Be quiet!" "Cut that out!" "We'll use a record for the accompaniment." "There are a lot of girls here, so keep it clean, will you?" "Got you." "Father - what's that!" "Ha ha." "They're funny, aren't they." "Mother has something she wants to tell you." "Is that so?" "OK." "Clean?" "That makes it more difficult." "Shall we practice a little." "Shall we?" "What do you think?" "It'll do, I guess." "Yeah." "What are you doing?" "We're going to give a little show." "Give me a moment, Father." "What is it?" "Father, Kikuchi-san is here." "Kikuchi?" "You know." "The guy who came yesterday." "Oh." "Shall I say something to him?" "Dressed like that?" "OK, after the dance then?" "Father, you can do anything but that today." "Why?" "Why?" "Come on." "Just for today." "Don't do it, OK?" "The Boss is going to get mad again." "Father, you could have Ooki-san tell him that you don't feel good and go home." "Yeah." "I guess so." "Just do it." "Quickly!" "You're up next." "Where's Aono?" "He said he didn't feel good and went home." "He went home?" "Yeah." "But I wanted you guys to entertain everyone." "Don't worry." "I can do the dance by myself." "It won't work if you're alone." "What are we going to do?" "I don't know what you guys think but it works because you two are together." "Alone, you're just ordinary - boring!" "Like one sandal." "Useless." "I want you to tell Aono about this." "Got that?" "Well, there's nothing to be done about it." "You might as well go home." "Are you done already?" "I didn't do it." "Didn't do it?" "What about you?" "What are you doing?" "I left without saying anything." "I thought I'd go back and say something to the Boss." "You'd better not." "One sandal is useless without the other." "One sandal?" "What does that mean?" "That means that you and me together are as good as one person." "Two of us equals one person?" "Who said such a rude thing?" "I'm going to give them a piece of my mind." "The Boss did." "The Boss?" "Aren't you mad?" "How do you feel?" "I'm asking you." "Just tell me what you think." "You said we have to get mad." "Yes, we do." "Right?" "Maybe we do." "We need to talk this over, but I feel angry about this." "Me too." "He really made fun of you." "You've put up with a lot." "Why don't you come to my place and have a drink." "OK." "Have another drink, sandal." "Sandal?" "I have to object to that." "I'm not a sandal." "But just one is useless." "Don't worry." "I've got another right here." "Is that right?" "Thanks." "Sandals?" "You two have been saying that the whole night." "What are you talking about?" "You'll be shocked at what you hear." "Mother, the Boss called Aono and Ooki a pair of sandals." "Sandals?" "That means that together they're only worth one person." "Did he really?" "That's a terrible thing to say." "I have to tell the Boss off." "You guys have been too nice to him." "You need to have more self-respect." "I'm telling you that when he's done with you," "He'll throw you like a pair of worn out sandals." "Just like that..." "Is the Boss really such an awful person?" "Aono-san, what do you think?" "Dunno." "Maybe." "Come on you two!" "Say something!" "You've been insulted for so long." "You must have a lot to get off your chests." "That's right." "Maybe you should quit that company, but before you do that you have to get this stuff off of your chest." "Aono-san, let's do it." "Let's tell him what we think." "You don't look too good, though." "I feel a bit of a chill." "Oh my, that's no good." "Do you need some medicine?" "No, but I think I'll be going." "Thanks for everything." "Are you really going?" "You have to leave?" "Yes, I'm going to call it a night." "Sadao, that play you've been rehearsing - could you show it to me?" "Why?" "I think I'll read it." "Father is late." "He sure is." "Things are tough for Father." "The Boss is pretty mean to him." "Father and Ooki-san are always being abused." "I saw that today." "I'm going to have him to quit that job." "It's me." "Welcome back." "Welcome home." "Where were you?" "I was worried about you." "I was at Ooki's place." "At the Ooki's?" "That means the pair of sandals was together." "Sandals?" "Father, your dinner?" "I don't need any." "Father, I heard from Hatsuko." "It really made me angry." "What did she tell you?" "That the Boss called you a sandal." "Do you know about that Hatsuko?" "Yes." "She was crying." "How can you put up with that?" "But even if I say" "Quit that job!" "But I can't do it just like that." "What about your marriage?" "Right Hatsuko?" "Yes." "Never mind about that." "I don't know what's going to happen with it anyway." "Besides if Kikuchi changed his mind about me because of that, I know I'd hate him." "You put things so clearly Yasuko." "Not especially." "It's just that Father and Sister are so old-fashioned." "No, we just got old." "Is it your book ration?" "What are you talking about?" "What is it father?" "Nothing." "See you later." "Bye." "See you later." "What is it?" "Nothing, uh, nothing." "That means that the Boss going to sell this place to Maruichi Shoji and disappear." "That's what it looks like." "From the looks of it, they're going to have reorganise this place from top to bottom." "But we can't just sit back and wait for it to happen." "During the war, he worked us like dogs." "And now he runs away." "That's unfair." "I'm angry!" "Sandal?" "What are you talking about?" "I've had a lot of things to say to you." "Are you listening?" "What?" "It's you." "What are you doing here?" "I came up to give the a piece of my mind." "Me too." "You too I guess?" "Is that right?" "Let's give it to him." "Mr. O, do you have anything good to say to him?" "I do." "Yeah, I m-memorised some things to say." "Teach them to me." "OK, I'll say them, and you follow along and say something kind of like what I say." "Boss, d-during the war, you sure made a lot of money." "How much did you make?" "That's weak." "Once more." "Boss, you m-made a lot of money during the war." "Boss, during the war, you made a-a l-lot of " "Good morning!" "Good morning." "What are you two doing?" "Aren't you going to say anything?" "What about you?" "I'm going to tell him off." "Me too!" "What do you want?" "Just what were you doing during the war?" "Boss, while I was working, you w-were often sleeping up here, weren't you?" "You don't have to match what I say that closely." "What are you trying to say?" "Meetings every night to sell the company." "You sure had a lot of meetings." "And what were you buying on the black market?" "What did you buy?" "Don't ask me, ask him!" "What did you buy?" "Was it chicken or beef?" "No one cares about that kind of little stuff." "Talk about the big stuff." "Was it whale?" "That's too big." "Just shut up for a second." "Was it whale eggs?" "Don't be stupid." "Stop this nonsense and get to work!" "Got that?" "Boss, you're going to listen to me today!" "And I'm going to give you a piece of my mind, too." "You made tons of money during the war, didn't you Boss." "You made a lot of money." "You squeezed a lot out of us during the war." "You sure did." "We were too nice to you up to now." "We worked hard under all your threats." "It's going to be different from here on in, though." "We're going to stick together and fight for our rights." "That's right, we're going to stick together." "I don't like this." "Leave!" "Don't leave." "We're counting on you." "Were not going to run away!" "We're going to fight the reorganisation!" "We're going to fight the reorganisation!" "Raise our salaries!" "Raise our salaries!" "Raise the family allowance!" "Raise the family allowance!" "Is that it?" "Do you have anything else to say?" "I guess that's enough." "Boss, you're a sandal that's missing its mate." "Boss, you're a- you're a dirty old sandal!" "Ooki-san, Aono-san, you did it!" "If Aono and Ooki stood up to the Boss, so can we!" "We got it off our chests, didn't we.." "That felt good." "It's as if I had taken something for an upset stomach." "That sounds cheap." "Is it?" "It's as if I had a- a pickled plum, no, a no wait, mint water." "Mint water?" "No no that." "You know, that stuff with the ball on top of the bottle and you push it in and it goes fizz?" "That's soda." "Oh that's soda, is it?" "The big wide world is out there waiting for us." "Right?" "From now on we're, we're - old sandals." "Hey, what about my daughter?" "Just a moment." "Is it this?" "Is it here?" "This?" "This is it, isn't it?" "Yes, that's right." "translated by:" "Guy YASKO"
