"In the big tree right next door" "Hand in hand, eyes turned to the sky," "We saw the sun melting of heat." "Come on you all, let's play hide-and-seek" "Cousin, may I kiss you?" "A little kiss?" "Good afternoon!" "I'm home." " I've brought you something." " A present?" " Yes." " What is it?" "A beetle with horns!" "He's big!" "Have you seen?" "What happened to you?" "Come on, eat!" "You have to eat!" " Tastes good!" " Yes?" "Yabdoobadab doombie!" "You want some fish?" " Fish?" " Yeah." "Eat your soup." "You can do that by yourself." "Dad, look!" "You saw Ei?" "What he did?" "Where is it?" "What's with the new railway?" "The opinions are very divided." "Some are in favour, others against." "More bad news then?" "And my son, is he in favour?" "Yes." "So we have some stubborn people in the family!" "Grandad as well?" "What a heat!" "Any news of the elder sister?" "None." "Would you like tea?" "She's still in Osaka?" "She doesn't even visit dad's grave anymore." "I wonder what'll become of her." "She only thinks of herself." "She surely will have her reasons." "When I think how you used to play together!" "Back then, she always used to laugh." "You adored her and did whatever she did." "And in the end, daddy yelled at you." "That was during the war and life was hard." "Today, thanks to you and your wife, my life is very relaxed." "Ah, if only your clad still would be here!" "Are you afraid?" "Uncle Kozo" "Uncle!" "Eisuke!" "Do you miss your mother?"

"We'll pick it up shortly, for sure." "Can I help?" "Thanks, but we only take some small stuff." "The rest, we'll leave." "Really?" "Actually, I very much hope to be able to bring them back here some day." "Michiru, good morning!" "Good morning!" "On my return, I passed through the Nara station." "I bought a newspaper, to kill some time." "I have read that" "The project for the new railway has been cancelled." "Why cancel it now?" "If they really would have to back out, they should have done that long before!" "With all they've spent on it, if they stop now, it's a real mess." "So, if we'd ask them to reconsider their decision, do you really think that would lead to anything?" "It is a shameful waste!" "So after all, All this will not have been more than an illusion." "It really is a shame." "Personally I think the worst thing to it is what it means for the education of our children." "My own children are still small." "Trains are far more convenient than cars." "It's much faster and cheaper." "That's what baffles me most" " It's true." " He's right." "The worst thing is if we don't get that train here, this village will waste away." "Our children will have difficulties finding a spouse." "So now it is certain that, as long as we live, the train won't ever reach our place." "I'm going to work where Eisuke works." "From ten until four o'clock." "That's good." "It might help you." "I'm late, go faster!" "Wait, you will see" "Off We" "Have a good day!" "Come on, faster!" "Quick, hurry!" "Thanks." "Is mom going to work?" "Good morning!" "Thank you for all your kindness." "Are you leaving?" "Today, we'll take them." "Tomorrow we will be back to settle everything." "You will?" "I'll be lonely!" " Those are your grand children?" " Yes." "Have some tomatoes!" "Thank you." "For the children." "Eat them on your way." " We'll be seeing each other." " If there's anything, we're at your service." "Thank you very much." "Come back soon." "You just got here?" "Ready to go." "Good morning!" " We're home." " We're home." "You found each other?" "At the bus stop." "Thank you, Ei!" "Well?" "The boss said that he expects you tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" " Yes, tomorrow." "What should I wear?" "You'll get a uniform." " Ten o'clock, that's okay?" " Yes, ten o'clock." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "Mother" "I'm off." "Good luck!" "Your husband fights like a chief." "It is true that we have the bus," "But to fight for the train, my respect!" "Over there, that's the hall." "We use it to serve meals to groups, as well as a dormitory." "It will be hard to get the train!" " Thank you very much." " Not at all." "My father wanted to have it at any cost." "See you tomorrow." "Thank you very much." "You're on your way out?" "Eisuke" "Have you finished your job?" "Do you want a ride?" "Very much." "We're off." "I won't make it." "Me neither." "I won't make the average." "Me neither." "I won!" "Bye!" "Is the job okay?" "It's okay." "I'll succeed." "Eisuke helps me a lot." "I am going to bed." "I'm leaving." "Have a good trip." "I'm leaving!" "What's with her?" "You went to bed late yesterday." "How do you know?" "I was studying for my exams." "Thanks." "You'll pick me up again this afternoon?" "I might finish work much later."
