"Just a minute." "Who is it?" " The court." " Oh, I forgot!" "The court?" "Why?" "The dental association nominated him to be a family court arbitrator." "Divorce suits, estate battles -- things like that." "That's tough work." "Actually, he really likes it, though he grumbles a lot." "I have to be in court at 1 :00." "Another afternoon lost." "What have I gotten myself into?" "TOKYO FAMILY COURT DOMESTIC ADJUDICATION" "JUDGE ARAKI" "Please stay out here." "He's provided for my daughter a long time " "Yes, but in this case " "We're not asking for ourselves, but there's the baby to consider." "Please just wait here." "Why can't I go in?" "I'm just as much his son as you." "Enough out of you!" "How dare you talk to us like that!" "You're just his son-in-law." "She may be illegitimate, but she's his flesh and blood." "Listen," "I don't see how this case concerns any of you." " Hold on!" " We have a lot at stake!" "Listen, I think we all need to discuss it, but Father's very upset." "We need to calm him down first." "Once that's done, everyone can have their say." "Please just wait here." " You heard me!" " But I " "I don't know how you know Father, but you'll have your say as well." "He's in quite a state!" "Listen to me:" "I'm a court mediator." "I'm terribly sorry." "Please, after you." " Damn fools!" " Father!" "I just don't " "Welcome." "I just don't get it." "This is a family matter!" "Just butt out!" "I'm so sorry." "Father's always like this." "Ichiro, say something." "This is too much." "Father, you see " "Fool!" "We discussed it, and we asked them to " "That's right." "We received a formal petition." "Whatever it says, I won't recognize it!" "Legally, the petition " "Father, not recognizing it is like not recognizing us as adults." "Tell me, does this bunch look like adults to you?" "These loafers think about nothing but my estate!" "Jackasses!" " Father!" "We understand your feelings, Father." "Don't we, dear?" "That's right." "All Japanese people share your anxiety." "It's just that you're a bit -- Right, Ichiro?" "Just say it!" "I'm insane!" "Why don't you listen?" "Father!" "Mother, please!" "Don't make a scene." "Let's all just go home and " "We're here because we can't resolve this ourselves." "We're just making a spectacle of ourselves." "Ichiro... do something!" "This is terrible!" "You're the eldest!" "That's right." "You're embarrassing us all." "I'm sorry for the trouble we've caused." "It's all right." "This is our job." "Family court exists precisely so you have a place to bring your troubles." "We're happy to mediate in even the ugliest spousal disputes." "And other disputes too:" "between parents, children, and siblings." "Life's full of disputes, and bashing each other's heads solves nothing." "So there's no choice but to enlist the aid of a third party." "People need to speak openly so that resentment doesn't build." "Our job is to listen to those pent-up frustrations." "We listen to both sides and help you think through a solution." "So what do you say?" "Why not let everyone have their say and let us help?" "Miss Tamiya, let's get started." "Everyone please wait in the hallway." "Father." "Not consulting with me first!" "Fools!" "We've got our work cut out for us this time." "Thank you for coming." "Allow me to introduce Mr. Hori of the bar association." "This is Dr. Harada." " Pleased to meet you." " Likewise." "We should examine the petition." "There's not much time, so I'll read it aloud." "I'll skip the names and addresses of the parties." "The aim of the petition is as follows:" ""I hereby request that Kiichi Nakajima --"" "The older gentleman." ""be pronounced mentally incompetent on the grounds that the petitioner, wife of aforementioned Kiichi Nakajima, in June of last year discovered that her husband harbored delusional fears about atomic and hydrogen bombs and subsequent radioactivity  atomic and hydrogen bombs and subsequent radioactivity." "In September, seeking to avoid fallout from the south, and despite his entire family's opposition, he purchased 1.6 square kilometers of property in Akita Prefecture and began to construct thereupon an unusual underground dwelling." "In November, after reading in a newspaper that fallout would come from the north, he halted construction." "As a result, the family suffered the senseless loss of 7.4 million yen." "Mr. Nakajima's erratic behavior did not end there." "He now claims that the only safe place on earth is South America." "He has unilaterally set in motion a plan to move all his dependents to Brazil and has announced that he will invest all his resources to this end." "Unless he is declared mentally incompetent and subject to conservatorship, his life and that of all members of his family will in all likelihood be brought to ruin." "I therefore submit this petition in request of said intervention."" "Listen, what will we do if he's declared incompetent?" "It could be real trouble." "He won't be able to use his money as he wishes." "His wife will be appointed legal conservator." "If that happens, my daughter " "Don't worry about Asako." "Young people today are very resourceful." "Will the applicant please step inside?" "Mother." "Mother, come on." "Please spare me this." "You all go in." "Not this again!" "You're the petitioner!" "You have to go!" "I just want " "Hurry up and stop wasting time!" "Mrs. Toyo Nakajima?" "Please come in." "I'm Ichiro, the eldest son." "Jiro, second son." "I'm Yoshi, eldest daughter." "I'm Yoshi's husband." "I'm sorry, but only those listed on the petition " "Well, I guess I don't need to be there." "Hey, Susumu." "What do you think about the A-bomb and the H-bomb?" "What's this about?" "Never mind that." "What do you think?" "Are you afraid?" "Of course I am." "You're really afraid?" "Yes, really." "Everyone's afraid of them." "Then how can you be so calm?" "Well, because... there's nothing we can do, is there?" "Sumiko, let's eat." " Right away." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "But what if someone was consumed with worry?" "He'd have a nervous breakdown." "No doubt about it." "You're wrong." "This wasn't a nervous breakdown by any means." "What is this all about?" "Today's case?" "What happened?" "I just can't figure him out." "NAKAJIMA FOUNDRY" "Stop!" "Okay!" "Stop!" "Here you are." "Seven tons, 320 kilograms." "That's okay, ma'am." "Koto Gas No. 2?" "It's not as good as our A1 ." "I'd say it's 10% -- no, 12% ash." "Mr. Ishida would like immediate payment, even if in promissory notes." " Price?" " 1 7,500 a ton." "Freight costs went up recently." " Ash content is 9% ?" " Per Tokyo Gas." " I say it's 13%." " Impossible!" "Take off 1 ,500 yen per ton and we'll pay tomorrow in cash." "You drive a hard bargain." "Ichiro, watch that furnace!" "I've told you a million times!" "1 ,500 less per ton will kill me." "Don't let him smooth-talk you, Ichiro!" "Su?" ", what are you saying?" "Ichiro's such a pushover." "He's the one who needs a conservator, not Father." "Watch your mouth, little girl." "And you're the grown-up, I suppose?" "Four grown-ups spent an entire day in court, and for what?" "What?" ""Calm down and come back later." Right?" " Watch your mouth!" " No, don't!" "You still feel like quarrelling after all that's happened?" "Who's that man?" " Mr. Okamoto." " No, the other man." "Ichiro, you know that other man?" "Mrs. Nakajima..." "I'm impressed!" "Few people your age have that kind of resolve." "Frankly, I was shocked to hear of your husband's plan." "I tried to stop him, but he's not easily dissuaded." "But the more I thought, the more I admired his decision." "Everyone has their own feelings on the matter:" "Some want to flee Japan, others want to come back." "I brought an old friend." "He has a big farm overseas." "This way, please." "Out of the way!" "What a great idea, huh?" "Almost as good as being there." "I've seen the movie." "Looks like a really nice place to live." "Look closely." "That will be your house." "I see." "What a nice house!" "Who's there?" "Come in." "Father!" "What is it this early?" "What is it, Father?" "Did you lose your case?" "Fool." "Don't worry about trifles." "There's this month's allowance." "If they declare you incompetent," "I'll be cut out." "Their petition be damned!" "Listen, I wish you could have seen it." "I mean, last night we watched movies of the farm I plan to buy." "What a wonderful place!" "To be honest, I was relieved." "Anybody who saw it would be reassured." "Since then, they haven't said a word." "It's all settled." "So don't fret." "Bring your mother's ashes and come with us to Brazil." "Father... don't worry about me." "I'm not part of your family." "I don't want to go all that way just to be a burden." "If you could just give me enough to get by on..." "I don't mind staying behind." "I'll be fine." "What are you blabbering about?" "First of all " "But " "Forget it." "Leave it all to me." "Father!" "S?" "o Paulo?" "Taeko, you studied it in geography class, right?" "It's not far from a town called S?" "o Paolo." "It was a real relief seeing that moving picture." "As far as the eye can see " "We appreciate your kind offer to take us along, but " "Right?" "Right." "We couldn't dare ask that of you." "Fools!" "Why are you all so " "Never mind." "Just leave things to me." "We need to increase our stock this month." "We'll need a little extra." "Nonsense!" "Why stock up when we're moving to Brazil?" "Fool!" " Please " " All right, all right!" "There's no way I'm going." "Who wants to move to Brazil?" "S?" "o Paolo!" "He's gotta be crazy!" "I just don't understand." "Why are you all so concerned about being a burden?" "Your father says it would be selfish of him and put him more in my debt." "You should both just come along." "Don't worry about a thing." "I'll take care of it." "What's so funny?" "You think he's worried about being selfish?" "He just doesn't want to go." "Don't you want to go?" "Well, I " "You don't want to go?" "Hello?" "Didn't you say we meet next on the 23rd?" "It's been moved up?" "You see, the gentleman in the case has ignored our advice." "He's moving ahead with his plan." "They say they can't let him go on like this." "Yes, that's right." "Yes, Mr. Hori has agreed to the new date, so " "Thank you so much." "Mr. Nakajima, express mail." "MRS. TO YO NAKAJIMA MR. KIICHI NAKAJIMA" "TOKYO FAMILY COURT" "Special bulletin:" "thunderstorm moving this way." "Welcome home." "My father's plans are neither concrete nor well thought out." "He intends to buy land and a house in Brazil, but where he'll find US dollars I don't know." "Emigration is allowed if there's a clear and constructive reason, but he's running away out of fear." "He can't buy more dollars than allowed by law." "I verified that with the Ministry of Finance." "This plan to go to Brazil will be a waste of money, just like his underground bunker." "Fool!" "I don't need dollars to buy that farm." "How so?" "It's easy if the owner wants to return to Japan." "I could barter my property for his." "But that would be circumventing the law " "No." "I see nothing illegal about it." "Actually, I'd say it's a very clever approach." " And you've found this farm owner?" " I have." "After you." "What about this?" "Your father is very concerned about you." "Couldn't you go along with him on this?" "As I've listened to the various points," "I've begun to feel that it isn't such a bad idea." "A lot of people want to go to Brazil now, more than the ships can carry." "I beg to disagree." "You fail to take into account the circumstances of our lives." "Put yourself in our shoes." "We're doing fine as it is." "Why should we have to " "Right, Ichiro?" "We were all born and raised in that foundry." "Exactly." "We can't imagine living outside of it." "How dare you!" "I'm the one who poured his entire life into that foundry!" "I'll miss it more than anybody!" "I understand." "I realize what you're willing to endure moving to Brazil for our sake, and I'm grateful." "But it's an unwelcome kindness all the same." "My husband teaches French." "What would he do in Brazil?" "And how do I become a farmer?" "Fool!" "Don't you realize that life is the most precious thing?" "Of course life is precious, but everybody has to die sooner or later." "What difference does it make how?" "Yes, try to see it that way." "Everybody has to die, but I won't be murdered!" "Let me ask you, Father:" "Are we the only ones going to Brazil?" "Jiro!" "We can't have secrets at a time like this!" "Doctor... you remember the people I was arguing with last time?" "They're " "I don't want to disgrace the family, but they're my father's " "You see, I have five others besides these here to support:" "two mistresses, their two children, and a son by a mistress now dead." "And I intend to take them all with me!" "You see?" "It's utter insanity!" "Maybe we could bear it, but my mother " "Jiro, I'll be " "Mother, speak up!" "You can't go on suffering in silence!" "Now you see how absurdly selfish he is." "Self-centered and selfish!" "We've been victims of his selfishness for too long." "Father, if you must go to Brazil, go by yourself." "Hell, take your mistresses and bastard kids too." "Just count us out." "You ungrateful bastard!" "Miss Su?" ", over here!" "Is the owner in?" "Father?" "He's in court." "I thought the case was dropped." "They're deciding today." "Where did Father go?" "He didn't go home, did he?" "Don't be silly." "Let him go home if he wants." "If he does, we win." "First of all " "It seems to me we have no choice but to grant their petition." "Dr. Harada?" "That's it then." "Just a moment, please." "When we declare people incompetent due to fiscal irresponsibility, it's usually for wasting money on women, alcohol, and gambling." "But taking precautions against A-bombs " "In general, that's true." "But his behavior goes far beyond common sense." "That's right." "His psychiatric tests showed no abnormalities, but he's gone too far." "That's my point:" "His only fault is going too far." "But his anxiety about the bomb is something we all share." "Mr. Araki, Mr. Hori, Miss Tamiya -- you all know that feeling." "Isn't that true?" "We just don't feel it quite as strongly." "We don't build underground shelters or plan to move to Brazil." "But can we claim that the feeling is beyond comprehension?" "The Japanese all share it, to greater or lesser degrees." "We can't dispense with it so easily by just saying he went too far " "I'm approaching this as a practical problem." "The old man feels as he does, but his family doesn't feel like going to Brazil with him." "Forcing them to go would violate their rights." "Suppose we leave the situation as it is." "He's sure to sell his house and foundry." "His family will lose its livelihood and be left on the street." "Yes, that's what the investigator's report concluded." "That's right." "To prevent that, we have to declare him incompetent." "I understand that." "Nonetheless... why have we deliberated at such length if it's that simple?" "In any event, we can't look at him and remain unmoved." "That's because his fear of the bomb is palpable and real in a way that neither we nor his family can grasp." "But why does he feel it so strongly?" "What triggered it?" "We should try hard to figure that out." "Anxiety?" "No, I feel nothing of the sort." "Then why the hurry to go to Brazil?" "I believe the bomb can be avoided." "Why let them kill you if you have a choice?" "That's why I'm in a hurry." "It's the cowards who tremble and close their eyes to reality." "My children are a good example." "Cowards, eh?" "Alas, I'm afraid that includes us." "So what do we do now?" "What choice do we have?" "Dr. Harada, look at it from this angle:" "It's obvious the man's being rash." "He's grappling with a problem too big for any one individual." "If he keeps on like this, he'll get himself into real trouble." "Isn't restraining him before it's too late really the kindest thing we can do?" "Miss Tamiya." "Will you all come in, please?" "Father, it's 1 1 :00." "What are you reading?" "THE ASHES OF DEATH" "Are you all right?" "Don't tell me you want to go to Brazil too." "Read it yourself." "If the birds and beasts could read it, they'd all flee Japan." "Susumu." "This whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth." "You mean the case?" "Don't let it get to you." "The old man won't give up that easily." "He appealed right away, of course." "Now it goes to a higher court." "Good." "It's no longer your responsibility." "This is wonderful!" "For 30 years I've seen this view in my dreams." "It looks closer in winter." "I'd like to breed cattle here." "I'm a farmer." "I wouldn't know what to do with your foundry." "Would you buy this land for me instead?" "How big is it?" "I'd guess about 60 acres." "The area is about 20 chobu." "What's the price?" "8.2 million yen." "Isn't that kind of expensive?" "In Brazil we could buy 24,000 acres for that amount." "What about a deposit?" "I'd need one soon." "I've got another interested buyer." "I'm asking how much!" "1 .5 million." "Jiro, are you sure this is proper?" "We have no choice." "We don't know what Father's up to." "Or what you'll be up to either, once you get that combination." "Ichiro, any news?" " Well?" " It's serious!" "Water!" "Well?" "Our vendors didn't know that Father was declared incompetent." "They paid company bills directly to him!" "How much altogether?" "I wonder what he's planning." "How much?" "Kitakawa, 280,000." "Nakatsuka, 430,000." "Takano, 160,000." "Omori, 150,000." "Hamaguchi, 200,000." "Is that it?" "1 ,220,000 yen." "That much?" "That's Dad for you." "Only took him two days." "Stop it, you stupid jerk!" "Let me have that term deposit certificate I gave your mother." "What for?" "I need money in a hurry." "Lend it to me." "Don't worry." "I'm about to " "I know." "But no matter how many times you appeal," "I don't think you'll win." "Fool!" "I'll win!" "I wonder." "You little bastard!" "After everything I've done!" "That money's the only thing I can count on." "The deed to the shop?" "I need it as collateral for a loan." "I'll give it back in no time." "No, I won't do it!" "Besides, when are you going to put Taeko in your family register?" "First you leave her out, and now you take the shop!" "Of course I'll acknowledge her." "Well... we'll talk about the deed after you do that." "What?" "You spent it?" "I'm sorry." "What were you thinking?" "Fool!" "What's wrong?" "I sent him to cash a promissory note for 200,000 yen." "That's like trusting a cat with milk." "I was in a hurry." "Cough it up." "What?" "Don't act dumb!" "The money!" " I spent it." " You couldn't have spent it all." "In half a day?" "You wouldn't dare." " There's nothing left!" " Liar!" "Is this really all?" "You gave some to that woman!" "What are you talking about?" "I'll find out soon enough." "It was hard keeping this hidden from you, Father." "I saved it from my allowance." "It's not enough to cover the loss, but " "Even the 200,000 wasn't enough." "Forget it." "What's the matter?" "This isn't like you." "There's no point in going in without enough!" "Why don't you explain what happened and just apologize like a man?" "That's what I'd do." "You really are a good and honest man." "I admire you very much." "Very well." "I'll wait." "But..." "I can't stay in Tokyo forever." "I'd planned to leave in a few days." "Don't worry." "This is a gentlemen's agreement." "When your affairs are settled, come visit the farm." "Meanwhile, take your money back." "You know, when my father wanted to emigrate to Brazil," "I fought him tooth and nail." "Then our house burned down in a fire." "That forced me to change my mind." "That's how people are." "I understand your sons' concern." "Return this money to them for now." "Discuss it with them amicably." "They're your children, after all." "It's all there." "Wait a minute, Ichiro." "Let's let Father spend it as he likes." "That will settle the case once and for all." "Don't you see?" "He'll prove that he's incompetent." "What the -- Fool!" "What's the point of getting angry?" "It's not our fault." "You created this situation." "I obtained a court injunction against disposal of our assets while we await your appeal." "Nobody can spend a yen without the court's permission." "What you've been doing is clearly illegal." "You've already ensured that your appeal will be rejected." "But Father brought back the money." "We won't accept it." "Jiro, apologize!" "Those things sure make travel easier!" "In four days he'll be back in Brazil." "Quite a man, isn't he?" "You can rest easy too." "Excuse me." "Aren't you Mr. Nakajima?" "Remember me?" "I'm Dr. Harada." "Harada, from family court." "Mr. Nakajima!" "What do you want?" "Well, nothing in particular, but " "Then you'll excuse me." "I must tell you one thing, you and the others who ruled against me." "I told you then I wasn't afraid of the bomb." "But just look at me now!" "Can't you see?" "I'm out of my mind with fear!" "And it's you who made me like this!" "Thanks to you, there's nothing I can do." "Nothing!" "I keep thinking about the H-bomb, but all I can do is think!" "And the more I think, the more restless I become." "But there's nothing I can do!" "It's a living hell!" "But really... is there anything else we could have done?" "That case has been very much on my mind too." "But no matter how you look at it, there was no other possible solution." "Even forgetting my role as judge and approaching the problem as his ally, there'd be no way to save him from his misery." "That misery is nobody's fault, really." "It simply stems from the fact that the H-bomb exists, and from his rather unusual disposition." "His mind has no sense of proper limits." "He thinks far too much -- about everything." "Sir... this spooky weather doesn't let up, does it?" "The newspapers say it's from an H-bomb test." "You probably know better than anyone, but they say that even if a bomb is dropped on China, or America, or Russia, the fallout will eventually drift over Japan." "I don't really understand it." "Something to do with atmospheric currents." "Japan's a sort of valley that all radioactivity flows into." "But what about those of us living in that valley?" "What will happen to us?" "First our hair will fall out." "In the end our bones will crumble and rot." "Not something to look forward to, eh?" "The other day I saw a report on the bomb damage in Hiroshima." "It was really gruesome." "I'll bet you saw it too." " A baby his age " " Stop it!" "Terribly sorry, sir." "I should've realized it's already weighing on your mind." "But even worry has to be done in moderation." "You know, you can't do anything without money." "Please don't be too stubborn." "Make peace with your sons and get as much as you can." "You're in a good position." "Even if you've been declared incompetent, you could still retire comfortably." "Whereas we can't afford to support you here " "Is he asleep?" "Thanks." "What's wrong?" "This just won't do." "You haven't slept for days." "THE TRUTH ABOUT THE H-BOMB -- A WEAPON TO DESTRO Y HUMANITY" "Madness, inventing such a thing!" "Where are you going?" "Home." "All of you come with me!" "What?" "How could I face them?" "Never mind that!" "Just come!" "Thank you." "Sorry for the bother." "Father, why have you gathered us all here?" "I'm begging you, on my life." "Come to Brazil with me." "I beg of you." "All of you, as one family." "You say I'm paranoid, and maybe I am." "But H-bombs really exist." "War could break out at any time." "If it does, it'll be too late to get away." "We can still make it." "Let's flee while we can." "I can't let him die." "I can't let an H-bomb kill him before he's even had a chance to live!" "I don't care about myself, and I thought I'd have to give up on you." "I thought at one point if I could at least save this baby " "But you're all my flesh and blood!" "I can't leave you here!" "Please come with me, I'm begging you." "Look, he wrote to me from Brazil." "Listen to how kind he is:" ""Come at once." "I'll get you permanent residence."" "He's like a Buddha come to save us from hell." "We can build a good life there." "Even a stranger is this kind to us." "I beg you:" "Come with me to Brazil." "I'm begging you." "Everybody, please, let's go with him." "Look how he's begging you." "I'm begging you too." "Please go with him." "Has Father ever been wrong about anything?" "He's always tried to plan ahead, not for himself, but for all of us." "Let's go, Ichiro." "Jiro, let's go." "Let's go, Yoshiko." "Why don't you say anything?" "Why are you all so quiet?" "Father, I'll go with you!" "Father!" "He's exhausted." "He needs rest." "The injection will help him fall asleep." "I don't want to stay here any longer." "Well?" "There are more pressing matters than getting in the family register." "What if he passes away?" "We need to be put in his will." "His will?" "Didn't you get a dowry when you married?" "Almost nothing." "He needed capital then for the foundry." "Anyway, property can't be transferred unless stated in his will." "You talk like a lawyer nowadays." "His will?" "What's that?" "His will?" "They want to be included in it." "That's horrible!" "It's like they want him to die." "Just a minute." "Maybe that's best." "It would make things clear." "Then Jiro couldn't talk to you like he just did." "He's sleepy, right?" "He can sleep in my room." "This way." "Come on, it's okay." "This way." " Father's asleep, so you can go home." " Yes, but " "In court you said we'd have a chance to discuss these things." "Perhaps I did, but now's not the time." "We hate to ask at a time like this, but now's precisely when we need to discuss it." "He's right." "I could talk to Father about it for you." "Father's fast asleep." "The doctor said it's the best thing for him." "Pestering a sick man about his will is going too far." "Please forgive me." "It's really not my place to be here." "Mother, look at the baby." "He looks just like Father!" "It's no big deal." "Right, Mother?" "What are you saying?" "She doesn't hold it against you." "She just doesn't want to set a bad example for her children." "You silly girl!" "Care to take a look?" "Are these all your relatives?" "Even Father doesn't get around that much!" "That's last year's factory outing at the beach." "We had such a lovely time that day." "It was really wonderful." "But you know... it was so much fun that I knew some misfortune would come along." "I was so afraid, and I was right." " I guess we're going to Brazil!" " Well, I'm not!" "It seems Mother and Su?" "are going." " With what money?" " What money?" "If Mother withdraws her petition, the court will release the money." "Then what will happen to us?" "We'll probably get some too." "But not much, staying against Father's wishes." "What about the foundry?" "That's why we have to fight selling it." "We have to hold on to that if nothing else." "The foundry's the important thing." "As long as we have that..." " Where's the Nakajima foundry?" " Around that corner." " There was a terrible accident." " A real tragedy." "I demand an explanation!" "Explain yourself, you son of a bitch!" "Can you think of any other cause?" "You said you forgot to quench the coals!" "Foreman, don't you remember how strict Father was about that?" ""Always check the work area."" "Look at Father!" "Boss, please forgive me!" "No, it was me." "I set this fire."

"Jiro, because of this foundry, you all refused to leave Japan and go to Brazil with me." "I thought with the foundry out of the way " "Su?" "." "Su?" ", did you see what happened?" "Su?" ", answer me!" "Why don't you say anything?" "Su?" ", tell me what happened!" "Su?" ", what happened?" "You were the first to discover the fire." "What did you see from this window?" "Tell them who came out of the foundry as the fire started!" "Don't cry." "We'll be all right." "We may have lost the foundry, but we have enough to live on in Brazil." "Boss, you mean... you don't care what happens to the rest of us?" "Is that it, boss?" "You don't care if the rest of us starve?" "You've completely lost your senses!" "You don't care what happens to us?" "I was wrong." "Forgive me." "I'll find a way to take you all." "I was wrong to think only of my family." "You're right." "We all have to survive." "Every one of us." "I beg you, come with me to Brazil." "With what money?" "I seriously doubt these workers want to go to Brazil." "You can be so selfish." "And what about that old man from Brazil?"

"Thank you for everything." "Don't mention it." "Please accept my sympathies." "Have you come to see him?" "I feel... guilty about what's happened." "I wonder if the court perhaps made the wrong decision." "Come now." "If anyone's to blame, it's us." "We shouldn't have taken him to court." "We should have brought him here." "That would have been better for all concerned, including Father." "Anyway, I'll let you go see him." "Good-bye now." "Whenever I see this patient," "I become terribly depressed."
