"Soei-sha + Eigadojin-sha Japan Art Theatre Guild" "Tateo." "Are you still sleeping?" "You'll be late." "You stay up too late." "Until dawn last night, too?" "What are you doing every night lately?" "What have you been writing?" "Don't look at it!" " Have breakfast quickly." " I don't have time." "So you should get up a bit earlier." "Mother, can you feed the white-eye?" " Going without even washing your face?" " Yes." "I'm off." "Here's your lunch box." "Tateo, a nail has fallen over there." "Pick it up." "Grandfather, I'm in a hurry."

"What's the matter?" " Does your father come home at all these days?" " No." " Not last night, either?" " No." "Strange." "He doesn't come to my place, either." " Where is he staying?" " How would I know that?" "But it seems strange." "Tateo!" "Hey." "Oh, the credit bank clerk is there." "Did you send for me, Kikuo?" "Okay, it's erect." "Stop it, Toshi." "Your name means your thing is erect." "Did you find something good in Osaka, Ryosuke?" "It cost me 2,000 yen for just 20 minutes at Matsushima." "That's absurd!" "It's simple to hire a woman." "I'm not short of women." "But for men, it's the only thing worth living for." "I'd die if I couldn't have sex." "Don't say that in front of Kikuo." "Why not?" "You aren't paralysed down there, are you, Kikuo?" "See?" "How about ordering a suit, Tateo?" " Hmm." " Monthly installments of 1,000 yen are okay?" "Order one, Tateo!" "I've ordered this one." "Oh, it looks smart." "If you go to a bar in Nakamura with a brand new suit on, you'll be popular." "The clerk won't do that." "I hear a lot of good things about you." "What kind of things?" "You're Seima's son, after all." "He's very fond of women, and your grandfather was also a woman chaser in his youth." "Don't make the girls cry too much, Tateo." "But God is unfair." "Will Kikuo never know a woman?" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "He can do it anytime he feels like it." "How about ordering a suit, Tateo?" "A suit..." "Oki." "Oki." "I wonder if your bar would stretch up to around here?" "The head office in Nakamura is offering 18 litres of sake as a reward." "18 litres of sake." "I see." "You may be too young to pay compliments to customers, but any compliment, however transparent, will still be welcomed." "Can you change money, Oki?" "Change money?" " How much?" " Here, just 1,000 yen." "Here you are." "Thank you very much." "Hello, this is the credit bank." "Phone call for you, Oki." "Hello." "Ryoko." "Tateo?" "Will you attend the Thursday Club today?" "Come along." ""Beauteous spring flowers." ""You are even more beauteous." ""How delightful to meet with you in the spring garden, on a spring evening."

""It gleams in the dark," ""yet it remains quiet." ""My dear rusty jack-knife," ""I have also come here to cry."" "No pushing, please." "Thank you!" " What do you want?" " What?" "Shut up!" "Come on, you bastard!" "A film?" "Were you watching a film?" "I'm not good at singing." "I've got it." "You watch films to study the scripts, don't you?" "Uh..." "Well..." "Who told you that?" "What are you writing now?" "Tell me." "What story?" "Uh..." "A melodrama, or a social drama?" " You're randy!" " A nice couple!" " Do your best!" " You should do it hard!" "You'll do it tonight, right?" "In a magazine, the great screenwriter Shindo wrote:" ""Anyone can write at least one masterpiece." ""You only have to describe the things around yourself."" "Why not try to do so, then?" "But what's around me?" "There's nothing to describe in a script." "I wonder about that." "Certainly there're things that interest me every now and then, but such things..." "What kind of things?" "Tell me, Tateo." ""Festival drums are rhythmically beating." ""Everyone is dancing with a light heart." ""But why..." ""why am I lonely and worthless?" ""Tears fall in spite of myself..."" "What?" "This man will have sex, too?" "Of course!" "Otherwise, why would he be here?" "We've got an okay from the mistress." "Okay." "I can wait." "Sleep with him first." "What are you saying?" "Don't talk nonsense." "Don't say that." "I'm asking you, Reiko." "Who do you take me for?" "I'm popular in this house;" "I used to be the number one." "Why do I have to do it?" "Then you, sleep with him." "Don't talk nonsense." "No kidding." "You're both heartless, of all girls." "You won't lose anything." "He won't do it for free." "Money can't buy everything." "What are you doing?" "Will you do it or not?" "Don't act arrogant, you bitches!" "Do you have the money for it, you penniless, deformed monkey?" " Shut up!" " Go home right now!" "Be sure to pay for your drinks before leaving!" "We can't have fun in this house." "Call the mistress!" "What are you doing?" "This filthy bitch!" "Let go!" "What are you doing?" "Do you want a punch?" "Why?" "I won't do anything." " Mistress!" " Somebody, help!" "Stop it, both of you!" "Stop it." "Stop it!" "Disgusting." "That's just your fantasy." "You should choose a subject that's close to your life." "A subject that's close to my life..." "Put this on, or you'll catch a cold." "Yes." "No, not now." "No, stop it." "Wait a bit." "Brother, is it very good, making love to your wife?" "You'll see when you get married." "Take your bath now, Toshihiro." "Yes." "Is Sadaichi there?" "Did he do anything wrong?" "Hello, hello." "You!" "Hold it!" "What did he do?" "He's stolen a fridge, a TV and so forth from an appliance store in Nakamura." "What about this TV?" "He brought it here three days ago." "It's one of the stolen articles." "Don't you question him, even if your son brings home valuable stuff?" "Don't you think something is wrong?" "I thought he'd become honest after getting married." "I never thought he'd commit a crime again." "But..." "Mother-in-law, what happened?" "Did he do something wrong?" "I'll sleep with you, in his place." "My brother was surprised because I gave some things to him for the first time." "He was embarrassed and told me to leave quickly, again and again." "When I left, I asked if he had a message for you, and he told me to tell you not to worry about him." "Then he told me not to come again." "Who would go again?" "But this is the third time for him, so he won't be able to come back any time soon." "I'll fill in for him while he's away." "Don't weep like that." "Thieves!" "Thief brothers!" "That's right." "But does it matter to you?" "You married him, aware of that, didn't you?" "A family member mustn't say such a thing." "We're brothers, after all." "This is what true brothers are." "That story doesn't impress me." "But it's almost factual." "It may be factual, but why are you interested in such things?" "Are you out of your mind?" "If it's about the working class, why not describe their steady progress?" "No such workers, around me." "Just crude relationships between men and women, instead." "You're too interested in sex." "Ryoko." "Maybe I'm not cut out to be a screenwriter." "Things aren't going well with me." "What's wrong, Tateo?" "Ryoko, I'm suffering." "What's with you?" "No!" "I'm suffering." "I can't stand this any more!" "No!" "Ryoko." "Let go of me!" "Go for it!" "It hurts!" "Let go!" "Stop it already!" "Let go!" "Listen, Ichie!" "This isn't good, Ichie." "Stop it!" "What are you doing?" "Let go!" "Damn it." "Let go!" "This thieving slut." "Let go!" "Damn it!" "You thieving slut!" "Seima is mine!" "Don't put your finger on him, or I'll never forgive you!" "Understood?" "I couldn't care less who that man lives with or breaks up with." "But anyway, it's shameful." "If he plans on having Tateo take care of him when he's old, he should give up philandering now." "He should get a woman to feed him." "He's really pitiful." "He lives with one woman after another in this small village." "I gave up on him long ago, so I've let him have his own way." "You should consider your father a stranger, too." "Tateo, take your bath." "Yes." "What do you want?" "Come to my house." "Come to my house!" "Take away your father's belongings!" "Father!" "Hi, Tateo!" "Here are his belongings." "Come in, Tateo." "I just came to bring them." "Tateo!" "Come in!" "Come here!" "Hey, have a drink." "She made you wear these rags?" "She has sent them here like an insinuation." "Want some, Tateo?" "Thanks." "Can you drink a lot?" "No." "My face turns red with just a cup of sake." " Do you smoke?" " No, I don't." "He's serious, unlike you." "When I was young, I was serious, too." "But women won't leave me alone." "What are you saying?" "How is the credit bank?" "Boring." "I'm considering quitting it." "What will you do then?" "I don't know." "Even if you quit it, you'll be able to live by fishing with my father." "I don't receive one penny from his earnings." "I have a job myself." "Stupid!" "Don't talk about that!" "But people wouldn't believe it." "Hey, you!" "It sucked this much of your blood!" "I'm leaving now." "Why don't you have dinner with us?" "But..." "You haven't had dinner with your father in a while, have you?" " How about getting dinner started?" " Okay." "Come and see him sometimes." "You're more than welcome." "He'll be glad." "Want some?" "Just a bowl, then." "Where have you been, at dinner time?" "Uh..." "Have your dinner quickly." "After dinner, your grandfather went to the public hall to hear naniwa-bushi." " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "I got a good saurel, so I've made some sashimi." "It looks delicious, doesn't it?" "Here are some tomatoes." "Here you are." "How is it?" "Good?" ""A spring banquet in the castle with cherry blossoms in full bloom." ""A sake cup rotates from hand to hand, reflecting the moonlight." ""A spring banquet in the castle with cherry blossoms in full bloom." ""A sake cup rotates from hand to hand..."" "Are you Tamami, by any chance?" "You're back, Tamami!" "He bought me a ticket, this man." "He also bought me some bananas on the train." "But..." "Taiwanese bananas are most delicious." "What's wrong, Tamami?" "Taiwanese bananas taste good." "Do you know this girl, woman?" "Yes." "She's my neighbour's daughter." "So can you take her home?" "I'm really at a loss." "What happened?" "Her mind has gone funny." "What?" "Please take her home." "But you've brought her from Osaka, haven't you?" "You should see her family and explain the circumstances." "Why in the world has she become like this?" "He bought me Taiwanese bananas, this man." "I heard she injected drugs every night." "They caused damage to her brain." "Drugs?" "Why did she use them?" "She was involved with yakuza." "Yakuza?" "We always advised her against it, but she was exploited." "They made her accept clients every night, after the cabaret finished." "Then, she..." "I heard drugs render you so frisky... that you can have many clients a night." "The first floor above the cabaret caught fire, and all my clothes were burnt, Mother." "I have nothing to do with this." "But I can't keep a mad girl in my cabaret, so I've paid the travel expenses and brought her here." "Thank you very much for taking care of her." "I'm going back now." "Are you going already?" "Take care, Tamami." "Bye." "Thank you very much." "Bus Stop" "Tomeko." "Did you see a young man with a Hawaiian shirt on?" "Maybe I did..." "I saw a stranger a short while ago." " Where did he go?" " He got on the 3:30 bus." " The 3:30 bus?" " Yes." "What time is it?" "It's almost four o'clock." "Why didn't you come for me right away?" "We had no idea where you were!" "You don't work, and always wander around." "Where to look for you?" "Don't talk to me like that!" "What are you doing?" " This bastard!" " You old bitch!" "What are you doing to your mother?" "You're stupid, too!" "Why did you let him go back?" "He could be the villain who made Tamami like this." "But how could I have interfered?" "Damn it." "We were disgraced!" "She's wearing a hair accessory like that." "Miserable!" "Bring my clothes!" "Really miserable!" "I could accept it if she had been born insane." "I bore her and brought her up properly, but they've made her like this." "When she was a child, she used to say she would be Tateo's wife." "Look at her." "Now that she's like this, no one would marry her." "Takeo, I love you." "I couldn't live without you." "Takeo, I love you." "Takeo." ""A spring banquet in the castle with cherry blossoms in full bloom." ""A sake cup rotates from hand to hand, reflecting the moonlight."" "Tateo." "Whose turn will it be tonight?" "I wonder whose?" "You're all pretending indifference." "But don't be upset if someone else is already with Tamami." "I'll do fine." "This is the fabric your mother selected." "Okay." "I'll finish it by the end of the month." "You can wear it in the autumn." "Thanks." "Do you want some, Tateo?" "Thank you." "These are well-chilled." "Want some, everyone?" " Oh, they look good!" " Thank you." "I'll get you some next time." "Tamami has a nice body." "Why don't you go there, too, Kikuo?" "What are you talking about?" "Why not go to the beach at night?" "She'll be waiting, with her legs spread in a dragnet fishing boat." "How about going there?" "Don't hesitate." "What are you saying?" "Don't talk about that here!" "That's nothing to get so angry about." "I don't understand why Yasu's turned her nymphomaniac daughter loose." "Beautiful." "You have good skin." "Those who get to sleep with you are fortunate." "You won't have to cry alone, Tamami." "Damn it!" "Silly!" "He was a school teacher." "His name was Nakahira." "He was handsome, but died of consumption." "He was my first love." "I see." "But if I'd married him, you wouldn't have been born." "Though your father's the way he is, he at least helped to conceive you." " I have to get going." " Right." "Are you setting the fishing net today, Father-in-law?" "Is something wrong with you, Grandfather?" "The chorus movement is, of course, important." "But your group should be more sensitive to political events... and the situation Japan is confronted with." "Every time I go into the countryside, I tell the young people... not to look only towards the cities." "Rather, social or political contradictions... typically appear in rural regions." "The Girard incident or the Sugo incident are such cases." "Look at this region carefully." "There must actually be similar cases around you." "I think your role is to overcome them with perseverance and passion." "Kochi produced Taisuke Itagaki, of the democratic rights movement, and Nakamura is the hometown of that eminent pioneer, Shusui Kotoku." "You know about him, right?" "Hey, you!" "Me?" "Yes." "Don't you know who he was?" "He was a leftist." "Is that all you know about this great figure from your hometown?" "Disappointing." "I know something about him." "He was a socialist executed in the Taigyaku incident, in the late Meiji era." "That's right." "He published The Commoner's Newspaper, translated Kropotkin and helped diffuse his ideas." "Excuse me." "I'd like to talk with you much more." "Would you mind?" "No, not at all." "But isn't it too late?" "No." "It's all right." "Good." "Let's go then." ""A spring banquet in the castle with cherry blossoms in full bloom." ""A sake cup rotates from hand to hand, reflecting the moonlight." ""A spring banquet in the castle with cherry blossoms in full bloom."" "Tamami." "Tamami." "She was around here until a little while ago." "I told her not to go out too often, as she's pregnant." "Did you see Tamami, Tateo?" " Tamami?" " Where on earth is she?" "Your grandfather takes care of her." "It's a real help, Tateo." "So the baby inside of her is his?" "Yes, of course." "That's obvious." " You're back early." " Yes." "Tokiyo, I was just telling Tateo:" "Tamami isn't an ordinary girl, so if Shige cares for her, we must be content with that." "But you should have made her have an abortion sooner." "I only realised it a bit too late." "I never imagined he still had such energy!" "I wonder if it's actually his baby?" "That's for certain." "He himself asserted it." "There's no doubt about it." "Don't talk nonsense." "Let's have dinner, Tamami." "Serve the rice into the bowls." "Eat a lot, Tamami." "You need to eat for both yourself and our baby." "He's beside himself with love, and at his age!" "This must be really deep-rooted." "His son is like that, so if he does something unworthy of his years, I can't even give him advice." "Like father, like son." "They both make fools of themselves in public." "Mother," "I'm his grandson, and my father's son." "I have the same blood within me." " What are you saying?" " But it's true." "No matter what you say, you can't deny it." "You're my son." "You were born of me." "You don't have to worry about that." " Mother." " What?" "I want to go to Tokyo." " What?" " I want to go to Tokyo." "To do what?" "Can I?" "No, absolutely not!" "I'll work at anything." "I won't ask anyone for support." ""I won't ask anyone for support"?" "Don't be a stranger like that." "I'll support you, doing anything helpful." "I've put up with a lot of things and made a lot of effort for you." "But I'll never let you go to Tokyo." "Why not?" "I can't go on like this any longer." "Why can't you?" "Anyway, I want to leave this land." "I'll be stuck if I don't reinvent myself." "Why aren't you happy?" "You have a respectable job." "You'll be able to lead a happy life here, won't you?" "My job is boring." "I don't want to do it all my life." "Don't say such desperate things." "Think of me a little." "What will I do if you leave for Tokyo?" "I've lived just for you up until now." "I underwent difficulties, telling myself that you'd stay with me." "Where are you going?" "I'll go for a walk." "Is my father there?" "He's out now." "Have something to tell him?" "Well..." "I'm sorry, but please don't come here often, Tateo." " Huh?" " I don't mind one bit myself." "But your mother was furious the other day, and told me not to be familiar with you." "So, don't come here." "Bye." "Where are you going, Tateo?" "Toshi." " Let's have a drink." " Why?" ""Why?"" "I'll treat you today." "Let's have a drink." "I'll treat you." "Hey, drink!" "Drink!" "You should drink hard today." " Tateo." " What?" "You also slept with Tamami, right?" "Toshi." "Yes." "What?" "I said, "Yes"." "What?" "Well, I..." "I'm asking if you slept with Tamami?" "Don't worry!" "Everyone's slept with her." "Not only you." "I'm not saying that." "Oh, this is a rare pair!" "Not rare at all." "You came at the right moment." "I've something to tell you all." "Tateo's family and mine are relatives from today on." "We're drinking until closing time." "You're my guests today." "Drink as much as you like." " Good!" " Let's drink a lot!" "Let me pour some fresh sake for you." "I'm asking you to let me pour some fresh sake." "Are you listening to me?" "Listen." "We're now inseparable relatives." "Osaka?" "I was there for two years after secondary school." "How was it?" "I found it pointless to work, because I sometimes do this." "You can guess what I'm talking about, can't you?" "Aha!" "It has made my world narrow." "Have you ever worked on a fishing boat?" " What?" " A fishing boat." "Yes, I worked on a fishing boat." "I went to the South Seas on a tuna fishing vessel." "Really?" "That's amazing!" "Stupid." "It's not amazing at all." "It was like a jail; many ex-convicts were on board." "Ex-convicts?" "I'm not going to work for some time." "But our village is really good." "People don't care at all whether you're an ex-convict or not." "Our village consisted of bad people from the start." "Right!" "You put it nicely." "Our village is really good." "That's right." "Girl!" "Give me tickets." "Two tickets for two relatives." ""Stars know everything." ""They know the girl was crying last night..."" " What about a house?" " Huh?" "Wait here a little while." "Why?" "Just 10 minutes or so." "Wait here." "I'll be back soon." "All right?" "Toshi." "Over there, please." "Thank you." "Tateo!" "What are you doing here?" "None of your business!" "You don't come to the Thursday Club these days." "I've rented a room in Nakamura from this year on." "If you don't come, I won't have a chance to see you." "I don't care about that club!" "They sing snobbish songs and discuss theories." "It doesn't suit my nature." "Are you drunk?" "So what if I am?" "I don't like drunken men." "Humph!" "Tateo." "Oh, Toshi." "Let's go." "Are you all right?" "Look." "That's your girlfriend." "I don't care about such a haughty woman." " Let's go and hire prostitutes, then." " Okay, let's go." "Let's go." "That's disgusting!" "Humph!" "You're putting up bills?" "Stop putting on airs, Ryoko!" "Here." "Money!" "How did you get so much?" "Don't ask about anything." " But..." " Don't ask." "You're a serious clerk." "You shouldn't know anything." " But..." " You mustn't ask." "Don't worry." "Nothing shady about this." "Finished already?" "Wipe your thing with this." "If you want to try again, you'll have to pay again." "This type of business isn't allowed any more." "We're doing our business, hiding from the police." "What will you do?" "Won't you do it again?" "Make up your mind." "What's the matter?" "The baby was born." "What?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Look." "He takes after Shige and is pretty good looking." "I wonder if they look that alike?" "Yes, they're as alike as two peas." "Aren't they?" " I'll come back later, Yasu." " Will you?" "But Shige's coming." "Tokiyo is dense." "We've made all the clothes and bedding for the baby." "I wonder if she realises that?" "She's aware of it and does nothing." "She can't be dense." "She acts as if she's a stranger." "They caused trouble for us in the first place." "We're the victims." "Where's Shige?" "He's coming." "It's a boy." "Come here and look at him." "He weighs as much as 3.5 kg." "This is a fine baby." "A fine baby." "Tamami, well done!" "Well done!" "Well done." "Tamami, you must be tired." "Have a good sleep." "What's wrong?" "Tamami." "Tamami." "We must have a celebration tonight." "I'll go and order some fish." "Good." "I must also think of a name for him." "I'm so busy!" "Don't be too excited, or you'll fall over!" "Put these away." " Come in." " Uh..." "Mother." "What?" "Will that old man come here again?" "Huh?" "Why, such an old man?" "Is something wrong with you?" "No, nothing." "My hair is untidy." "Do you have something to tie it with, Mother?" "Use this." "Thanks." "Tamami, is your mind clear?" "Yes, it is." "My breasts are getting swollen." "Tamami!" "Tamami!" "Stop it, Grandfather!" "It's disgraceful." "Grandfather!" "I heard my father is here." "Yes, he's in there." " He's discussing something complicated." " Is he?" "I'm really puzzled because I never dreamt this would happen." "But Tamami is no longer what she used to be." "She got the poison out along with the baby, and came to her senses." "He needs to understand it." "If so, you're wrong, Father." "You must remember how old you are and give up." "Maybe it's exasperating to Shige, but she's always worried she might be followed by him, and can't even feed the baby calmly." "That's not good." "Speaking of the baby, can you bring him up?" "Well, I'm going to do so." "We should definitely settle it now." "The shrine visit is close, but he still isn't registered to any family." "In what way should we register him?" "We have no other choice... but to register him as the child of Sadaichi and Miyoko." "Wait a minute." "Are you going to make him our child?" "We have no other choice." "You're the only married couple." "But Sadaichi will be in prison for a long time." "That's not important." "This is just a matter of form." " Even so..." " Wait a moment." "I'll leave the registration issue up to you." "But anyway, I think we must offer you some money." "That would be helpful." "The baby is mine!" "The baby is mine!" "That's why we're discussing the issue." "You, stay quiet!" "I'll bring him up." "I'll live with him and Tamami." "You're still saying such mad things?" "Give it up now, like a sensible old man." "The past is the past." "You dreamt a good dream for a while." "You should be happy with it." "I'm going to offer some money as child support." "Father, offer your savings, too." "After all, he's your child." "Oh, Shige!" "Please die, Tamami!" "I'll die, too!" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing, you old bastard?" "This mad old bastard!" "Grandfather." "Are you all right?" "Tateo, take him home." "Grandfather." "Why?" "Why have you come to your senses, Tamami?" "Why?" "Grandfather." "Hey, Tateo." "Is your thing erect?" "What kind of attitude is that?" "Stop it!" "Why are you picking a fight with me, you moron?" "Do you have a complaint?" "Don't act arrogant, just because you wrote some scripts!" "Scripts?" "Get stuffed!" " Who do you think you are?" " Damn it!" "Stop acting the big man!" "Grandfather." "Grandfather." "Grandfather." "Father." "What's the matter?" "Are you off today?" " I have something to talk to you about." " To me?" "Boss, can I have your signature on this?" "Okay." "Wait a moment." "I'll be free once this truck leaves." "Yes." "Seima!" " What's going on?" " Something may be up." "What's the matter?" "It's serious." "Noshiko..." "What?" "Come quick!" " What happened to her?" " Come quick!" "Mother." "Welcome back." "What's wrong?" "I heard Noshiko died." "She had a brain hemorrhage and died without recovering." "I know that." "Shall we get dinner started?" "I'll just go over there." "What?" " To my father's place." " Tateo!" "Don't do such a stupid thing!" "But..." "Are you going to offer him your condolences?" "Whose son are you?" "If you show up there, they'll laugh at me." "Don't do it!" ""Even if I cry in my mind:" "I love you..."" "Tokiyo." "I'm back." "Father." "I had a tough time." "I'm tired out from the funeral and so forth." "Come in!" "Wait!" "What's the point of coming back here?" "Don't say that." "I have nowhere else to go." "But it'll be more than I can handle, you back here suddenly." "Don't be so hard on me." "We're both old now." "And so I don't want to get annoyed any more." "Why do you say that, Mother?" "This is his house." "Shall we leave, then?" "Shall we?" "Don't say such a harsh thing." "He's finally come back." "I can't help saying so." "It'll do me no good if you're back here." "I've long considered myself a widow." "What am I going to do, then?" "I couldn't live alone..." "In that case, can you look after me, thinking of me as a lodger?" "I can't do that." "But I have nowhere else to go." "So Tateo and I will leave." "You should live with him, Mother." "I'll leave." "Live in peace with him." "What?" "I'll go to Tokyo." "Get along with him!" "So is that what you had in mind, Tateo?" "When I'm gone, you'll be lonely." "Don't make a fool of me!" "Are you going to run away alone, thrusting that man upon me?" "I'll never allow it." "Mother." "Tateo, your mother's so stubborn..." "I used to be at a loss when I was young." "Hey you, let's go." "Where to?" "Come with me!" "Hey!" "Come on!" "Hey!" "What?" "In my house?" "Yes." "Could you possibly take him under your care?" "But are you okay with that?" "I don't feel like living with him again." "I'm really disliked, Ichie." "Would you mind taking care of him?" "Without a woman, he couldn't live." "I'm in trouble." "I see." "You may have your pride as a woman, but Noshiko is dead now, and his wife is asking you like this." "Please don't make me lose face." "All right, Ichie?" "If asked that way, it's hard to say no." "So, are you willing to take care of him?" "Okay, you can count on me." "I greatly appreciate it!" "Thank you." "I never thought I'd be thanked by you." "I feel a load off my shoulders." "I don't care either way." "Women are all much the same." "Ichie, I wanted to come straight here, but I respected your feelings." "You're smooth talking." "I won't forgive you for another lover:" "this time, I'll look after you at Tokiyo's request." "Chiyoko, he's back." "Chiyoko." "Chiyoko, I'll give you some money." "Here it is." "Glad?" "I'm leaving." "I'm counting on you, Ichie." "All right!" "Mother." "Tateo." "That's too much." "Aren't you ashamed?" "You'll live with me forever." "Mother." "My father..." "I'll never let you go to Tokyo." "That's too much!" " I'll never let you leave." " That's too much!" "Tateo!" "Tateo!" "Toshi." "Toshi." " You're Oki, right?" " Yes." " Do you need to see him?" " No, not really." "If you see him, let me know at once." "All right?" "Yes." "Every time there's an incident, he comes to investigate us." "It's annoying." "Do they suspect him of anything?" "Yes." "There was a burglary and murder in Nakamura yesterday." "Burglary and murder?" "He may have sticky fingers, but he never kills anyone." "That, at least, is certain." "But where has he gone?" "He'll be back sometime soon." "Don't worry." "Hello." "Is Kikuo there?" "Kikuo." ""Leaving the southern country of Tosa..."" "You idiot!" "Watch where you're going!" "It was a good film." "Tateo!" " If it isn't Tateo!" " Hi." "You finished work for today?" "No." "Do you still write scripts?" "Well..." "You don't?" "Sort of." "I never thought you'd know about places like this." "It opened recently." "I often come with the Thursday Club members." "I see." "You're all civilised." "Shall we dance?" " I don't know dancing." " I'll teach you." "Let's dance, Tateo." "Come on!" "Dance to my steps." "Like this." "One, two, three, four." "Good luck." "Who is she?" "I've seen her somewhere." "Let's go out." "Tateo!" "Ryoko, the last bus leaves soon." "The Anti-Prostitution Law has come into effect." "Why's she still around?" "Nasty!" "I have to go now." "No." "Don't go home yet!" "You can go to bed if you like." "Okay." "Why not take off your trousers?" "No." "Why not?" "Are you angry?" "No." "Tateo," "I'm sorry!" "Huh?" "It's my fault." "I acted coldly towards you, so you went to Sakaemachi," "and slept with that woman." "I'm right, aren't I?" "I'm right, aren't I?" "Uh..." "I understood your feelings well, but at the time, I only cared about..." "Funayama." "Funayama?" "The organiser that time?" "Forgive me." "Forgive me." "I... slept with him." "Ryoko." "Tateo." " Ryoko." " I'm sorry." "Tateo." "I'll take a day off today." "Take a day off too, won't you?" "Tateo." "I'm back." "What's up?" "I called the bank, but they said you'd taken a day off." "I had an uneasy feeling." "An uneasy feeling?" "I thought you might have left for Tokyo." "Tokyo?" "Nonsense." "Where have you been?" "But it's all right." "I'll get dinner ready soon." "The Nakajimas were in big trouble today." "Detectives, as well as newspaper reporters, came over." "Newspaper reporters?" "On the other hand, Sadaichi came back." "Sadaichi?" "Yes." "He's been freed from prison, while his brother's a criminal now." "He committed burglary and murder." "Really?" "Was he found to be the criminal?" "Yes." "I heard his fingerprints were a match." "It'll be in the paper tomorrow." "Mother." "Mother." "Go to bed." "I'm so worried, I can't sleep." "You were dozing off." "No." "Wait a moment." "Don't mind her." "Or are you embarrassed to sleep with me again after Toshihiro?" "I was always thinking of you in prison." "When I thought you might have become intimate with him," "I missed you even more." "I wonder where he's gone?" "Did he have any other women?" "Anyway, he made a blunder." "Please don't kill anyone!" "I'd never do such a thankless thing." "Hello, this is Oki." "Sorry." "I have night duty tonight." "Ryoko." " Let me sleep with you." " But..." "I couldn't wait to see you." "This isn't good, Ryoko." "Tateo." "Tateo." "Ryoko." "Fire!" "It was foolish of you to bring a girl into the night-duty room." "No wonder you caused a fire." "I'm sorry." "Don't do things that could damage the bank's reputation." "We do the important work of holding money for people." " Tateo." " Don't ask anything!" "But it's too early." "You're only 20 years old or so." "Have you promised marriage to her?" "I don't like such a smooth-talking girl." "Don't worry, Mother." "I'll never see her again." "Are you sure?" "Goodbye to her forever!" "Yes." "You should put an end to the relationship and forget about her." "Want some?" "They're sweet." "What are you doing?" "Uh..." "Good morning." " Looks like you, no?" " Huh?" "I think he looks like you." "Like me?" "So long." "Are you going with your new suit on?" "Yes." "I'll wear this as an everyday suit." "That's a good idea: it's going to get colder day by day." "If you wear the two suits alternately, they'll wear well." "Don't forget your lunch box." "Mother, I'm going." "Have a good day!" "Tateo!" "There's a white-eye!" "Tateo." "Toshi." "Sit down." "Just for a minute." "Over there." "Sit down." "Sit down!" "A business trip?" "No." " Have you heard something about me?" " Yes." " Let's go over there." " Huh?" "Come with me." "Lend me some money." "Huh?" "Lend me some money!" "How much?" "The more the better." "You had bad luck." "Come with me." "Let's go over there." "This way." "Oh, this much?" "Thanks." "I owe you one." "It's risky, wandering around here, Toshi." "But..." "I never thought someone would die so easily." "I was fortunate to run into you." "Toshi." "I'm going to Tokyo." "What?" "Tokyo?" "To do what?" "I'm leaving anyway." "I've rushed off." "I haven't told anyone, not even my mother." "I see." "Tokyo..." " You made a big decision." " Yes." "I had no other choice." "I see." "Tokyo..." "Good." "That's good." "Some can't go back even if they want to, like me, while others rush off, like you." "It's funny." "I'll give this back to you." "Why?" "You'll need it to go to Tokyo." "I can't take it." " I don't mind." " No, I can't." "You'll need money in Tokyo." "Keep it." "Take it." "No." "I'll get some from where there's plenty more." "Toshi." " I can't accept it." " Take it." " I don't mind." " No, I can't." " Stop it!" " Toshi." " Take it, Toshi." " No, I absolutely cannot." "Oh, Tateo, you're wearing the suit Kikuo made." "This one?" "Nice." "Very nice!" "If you walk around Ginza with it on," "Kikuo will be very glad." "I'll do that." "Tateo." "Take care." "Good luck!" "Take this." "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!"
