Who stars in the film?
Jean Marais
Why not see it with me?
Not today
Come on. Why not?
You go alone
There's Non-chan!
I wonder where he's going
Walking like that
He's always that way nonchalant
Turn right at the PX
Why not drop in at Aya's?
How about this bill?
Pay it
And... Mrs. Satake is here
Miss Setsuko too
I'll take this
Hello
How are you, Setsuko?
What did you do
after we ate together?
That day? I took a walk with Setsuko
We saw Kabuki, too
Was it interesting?
Yes. We sat in the balcony
The actors looked this small
Just like look down to the well
But I enjoyed it
That's nice
Have you been there?
Where?
Pinball hall?
Played it?
No
Try. It's fun
No
But it's fun
Let's go
No. Don't do that!
Spooky aunt!
Everything's fun to her
The best time of life
Why?
Married life isn't easy
Why not?
Your husband would be harsh
You'd have no time to play
Really?
Yes, he'd be too nosy
Not really?
Want some coffee?
No, thanks
I must go, Aunty
Please do
Going somewhere?
Where to?
A movie
Jean Marais?
Is he your type?
What part of his face do you like best?
Upper or lower?
I'm going. Bye
Drop in again later
Do so
Nice day
Yes. I want to go out
Where to?
Some spa
Overnight?
It's the best season
Shall we go?
Now?
You can't?
I don't mean that
Your man?
Got it?
What?
A reason
An alumni reunion
I used it already
Setsuko gets sick
She goes on an excursion and gets sick
No. It won't work
It will. I'll explain to he
when she drops in
What about her?
She stays here while we're away
I see. Clever woman!
Thank you
I'll tell my husband
What spa? Hakone?
Shuzenji
It's the best
Hello? Toa Trading?
May I speak to Satake?
Thank you
Which train?
We'll be in time for the 4:15
Is that so?
It's not necessary
Thank you
What's the story?
He wasn't there
He went out with a guest
I wonder where
Waiting
Not very long
All through?
Beer, please
The exam?
Finance theory
Very likely. Did you pass?
I guess. Know what CPS stands for?
Consumer Price Survey. Right?
You know well
You didn't know?
Will you pass?
Maybe
Let's drink to it
Will I pass?
Don't ask me
I will, huh?
You aren't trying at my company
How indifferent!
Tell your mom, if you pass
How old is she?
Sixty-three
She that old? Time flies
I played with you elder brother
She got old fast after he died
Is that so?
Nice suit
Just secondhand
No crabs in it?
Of course not!
Know the proper name?
Nutbugs?
Bedbugs
Some kind of bug
I won't have to back you up anymore
No. I'll enter the company
I'm glad
The best time of life
It's May, and we're young!
Mr. Satake's back
Welcome home
You're late. Had a guest?
I phoned
What did you want?
Are you hungry?
No, I've eaten
When I cooked for you
What did you eat?
Nothing much
Non-chan came to see me
How about a bath?
I'll wait until you take it
Why not go first?
Listen... listen...
I...
Today... I went to Aya's shop
Then... you know?
Know what?
Setsuko's at a spa
I didn't know
I didn't, either
Did someone phone to me?
I don't think so
Setsuko was at an alumni reunion
She got a bellyache
Who?
Setsuko
She's suffering. It hurts
What hurts?
Her stomach
Not appendicitis?
Appendicitis? Will she be all right?
Appendicitis isn't much
Still, I'm worried
Can we leave her alone?
She's helpless, I think
She likes me and misses me. Poor girl!
I know. Go and see her
May I?
What about the house?
Never mind. Go now
I'll go tomorrow
Yes, I'll go tomorrow
She'll be glad
Miss Setsuko is here
Good evening
Why, Setsuko!
Will you put me up?
Why are you here? I'm glad
We worried about you
Weren't you at spa?
Me?
Your stomach all right?
Is it better? Did it hurt badly?
We worried about you. It shocked us
Who are you talking about?
You, who else?
Strange! Then who was sick?
What are you saying?
We met a while ago
You're stupid
Why?
Stupid to come
Why?
Didn't you drop in at Aya's?
Stupid girl!
Hello? Aya?
Setsuko came here just now
Yes. What a mess!
Then, who'll be sick?
Is someone sick?
How noisy! Go away!
I'm not talking about you
Who will it be? Takako?
Good! She'll be perfect
Hey, I'm still talking
Nice day, isn't it?
I feel wonderful
Keep quiet. You have appendicitis
I almost forgot
Don't eat
Here, Setsuko
Delicious!
Sure is
Don't drink too much. You're sick
That's enough
My stomach really began to ache
Really?
Yes, it hurts
Good!
This is how it should be
It's going as we planned
Think it hurts more
It hurts!
Didn't your man get wise?
No. But he almost did
I wish he were smarter
But he's all right at a time like this
He's convenient
A little dull-witted?
Yes. Dull
He's a Mr. Thick-head
Good morning
Have some. Don't tell your dad
Don't worry
I'm glad you have appendicitis
Next time, you'll be the one
Hello? Wait a minute
A call from Tokyo
Hello? Who is it? Fumiya?
Is Mr. Satake in?
He is in, that thick-head
Hello, it's me
I got here about 5 PM
Takako was really sick
She suffered a lot
but she's sleeping now
No operation is necessary
Maybe I'll be come home tomorrow
I may be late
Good night
Let's have more sake
More sake, please
You still on the line?
Good night
Hello? I'm through. Bring more sake
You were good
I'm used to it
Setsuko, don't tell him
Have more sake
Let's sing
When violets begin to bloom...
Girls' revue?
We'd skip school to see it
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
I feel a little sick
You all right?
What's up?
Shall I make your bed?
Mrs. Satake will be back tomorrow
Did your brother get the job?
I heard he did. Thank you
Good. Where will he work?
In Sendai
Can your parents do without him?
Is it alright?
Yes. I have another brother
What does he do?
He teaches school
Your parents have no worries
It's good you're all well
Thank you
Shall I make some tea?
No. You may go to bed
Then, good night, sir
Pity I missed this baseball game
Sure. I like "goodbye homers. "
What's wrong?
I have a headache
Because you drank too much
She forced her, right?
Don't drink any more
What a selfish aunt!
Look! So many!
Look! Come and see!
What?
Just come
What?
Look!
Doesn't it resemble someone?
That big, slow one
Don't say that
It does, huh?
I don't think so
Too late to flatter
That one? It sure looks like him
Who? Uncle?
Don't be so blunt
Good morning, Mr. Thick-head
Eat, Mr. Thick-head
Another one did!
Eat! Eat!
Stolen again!
What a dull-witted guy!
Uncle can't eat at all
Don't blame me when you get hungry!
Where's your bag? Don't you need it?
Setsuko, go get his bag
Fumi, Uncle's bag
Your tie's askew
Go get a haircut
Enough!
There are no bald carps?
Uncle finally ate!
That long, thin one. It looks like...
my husband
Exactly
Don't catch cold, swimming there
Where is he now?
Back in Paris from Lyons
I wish my man would go far away
Far? Where?
Anywhere is fine
if he can't see me
There she goes again. She's obsessed
Nice day, isn't it?
Stay another night?
I have to get back by Tuesday
To see a baseball game
What about you?
Look! Your husband's there
Really!
He didn't day he'd come
He alone?
Evidently. It's odd
He isn't a baseball fan
He has a cigarette
he's looking for a match...
There she is!
Who?
I don't know
Who is she?
A geisha?
I don't think so
Bar hostess?
Maybe she works at his favorite bar
She's pretty
You look pale
Liar!
Jealous?
Nonsense!
They seem close
Not angry?
No
How great!
I'll make him buy me something
Maybe a kimono
Eventually this will cost him a lot
Can't be helped
Crime doesn't pay. Poor man!
Your attention, please!
Mrs. Taeko Satake!
Mrs. Taeko Satake
please go home immediately
I wonder what happened
Mrs. Taeko Satake!
Please leave immediately!
What happened?
Miss Satake is here
So, you phoned?
No. She did it herself
Welcome home
What's up?
Well...
They announced it so loud
I was shocked
Bring some cold pop
Thank you
About that spa
Something urgent?
Have you heard?
A marriage interview for me
What's wrong with that?
But I don't want an interview
What are you saying? Go to it
You approve?
Of course!
What a stupid idea! No thanks!
You can't play forever
How old are you?
I'm 21 now
I won't marry for a while
What a thing to say!
May I ask you something?
Are you happy?
Yes
You're lying. I can tell
You and Uncle married by arrangement
So what?
You aren't getting along
In many ways
We get along
No, you don't
You lied to him to get to the spa
Because I wanted to go. You came, too
Why not tell him the truth?
You're still a child
I don't like adults
You thought of that fat carp as Uncle
Poor Uncle!
I won't take you along anymore
If I get married
I'll never speak ill of my husband
I won't marry
such a man. I'll look for my own husband
Some girl! But you'll soon understand
I don't want to
I'll never call my husband Mr. Thick-head
The president wants you
He wants me?
It's been a long time
You called, sir?
Your father-in-law came. Sit down
I came to see him
Seems you're busy
How's business?
Fluctuations will continue until this autumn
Is that so?
A guest, Mr. Satake
For me?
Then, will you excuse me?
Listen...
Will you tell Taeko to come home?
Excuse me
I'll send Satake abroad one of these days
What's up?
I got the job
Really? Congratulations!
Be my guarantor
Sure
You busy?
Why?
Let's drink
I pay?
No, I will
Sure?
To celebrate
Where?
At a cutlet shop near my place
They serve big but cheap ones
Come again at 5
I'll be waiting outside
See you then
CALORIE HOUSE
Wasn't the cutlet good?
Sure. I stuffed
Other food's good, too
Want more?
No thanks
Hey, No. 7 doesn't work!
Come to my place
A lot came out
Don't do it too strongly
Why not come to my place?
Not today
Scared of your wife?
No
It went in
No balls?
Doesn't work?
Hey, No. 18 doesn't work!
Don't break it
It doesn't work
Hitting won't help
Which hole?
Here
Hey, Corporal!
You?
It's you! Nice to see you
It's been a long time
Why not come inside?
Who's he?
We were in the same platoon
Please come in
You too. come in
Please
Hey, guests!
Been a long time
Yeah. You haven't changed at all
You, either. Glad you're well
Thank you, but I got old
My wife
He was my boss
I ran into Takahashi at Shibuya Station
I met Fujita in Ginza
He in Tokyo, too?
He runs an auto repair shop
Have some
I'm surprised to see you
So am I
I started this business recently
Because you hit it, I met my old corporal
Sorry about that
That's all right
I'm really glad
How's business? Looks good
It's so-so. But...
I think it'll slow down before long
Not a decent business
But it's enjoyable
Do you play pachinko often?
No, today's my first
What about you?
Sometimes
I think I've seen you here
I come sometimes
It's no good
Pachinko shouldn't be the rage
I regret it
Have some more
I know why it's the rage
It's fun
It shouldn't be regarded as fun
If so, the world won't improve
Think so?
It was fun back then... in Singapore
Yeah. But no more war
I'm fed up
Right. I feel the same
I wonder how it is in North Bridge
I wonder how it is, too
I liked the palm trees
And the sky was so clear
You could see so many stars
Right!
I liked the Southern Cross
I just loved it
My buddy wanted to ride out first in a charge
He was brave, but he was killed in action
Now I'm entering holding his ashes in my arms
The streets of Singapore in the morning
Buddy, look at the peaceful blue ocean
See the twinkling Southern Cross off Maracca
Day after day we charged the enemy
And together we watch those sorties
Grandpa, Aunt Taeko's here
Come on! Hurry!
I'm coming
Hurry!
I told him
Who's the potential groom?
The son of an embassy secretary
Have you met him?
Not yet
He and my husband went to the same school
Hello
We're talking about Setsuko
Please go with her. Where?
The Kabuki Theater
I sent you money again
Don't waste it. It's hard on Mokichi
I don't waste money
That's good
And... what about this Sunday?
All right
Did Setsuko agree to the interview?
Finally. Last evening
Did Brother tell her?
She complained at first He scolded her
I'm amazed she agreed
Reluctantly
She's like me
My father scolded me
You cried that time
I did? What did Setsuko do?
She went to her room and left this morning
What a girl!
She's different from us
Yes. She reads foreign novels
I read some and was shocked
Today's books are scandalous
Have you found Setusuko?
No
In the toilet?
No. I looked everywhere
I wonder where she is
The restaurant?
Maybe
Let's look
Thanks
I won't trouble you
I hope not
Don't worry
Why not go out?
Such a nice day. Let's go
Been there many times?
Yes. It's fun
The one at the end
finally passes the others
It's thrilling
It's really exciting
Let's go
Fine, I'll go
You'll find it fascinating
Pachinko is no match
But pachinko is nice
In short...
while in the crowd
you can rise above self
You can easily be alone
You and balls alone
You can forget worldly affairs... and...
adapt yourself to the balls
Pure solitude
That's the charm a happy sense of solitude
Bicycle races are more fun
Balls riding on bicycles
Watching the audience is fun already
Fumi!
When did you come?
Just now
You called, sir?
I'm going out
Aren't you at a marriage meeting?
I slipped out pretending to go to the toilet
Without telling them?
They're looking for you
So what?
You shouldn't do this
I don't like marriage meetings
Still, you must go back
No
They're looking for you
Let's go
You must go
Come!
No!
You must!
Let's go
I'll take you
Where?
The theater
Great!
Let's go
Come!
Let's go!
Who is Setsuko's groom?
I don't know. I never met him
Will she be shy?
Not today's kids
What about you?
I was shy
Really! I'll be, too
Uncle!
You're here?
Why here?
I came again
You shouldn't have
Who cares?
So what? It's starting
Great! Which ones did you buy?
Red and black
Red's no good
He passed the others!
You go home now
It's still early
How's it going?
Quit and go home
Not yet. I'm starting to win
Doing all right?
Try No. 4
No. 4. It's a winner
Setsuko, go home
Not yet
Don't involve me. I'll go
Do so
Some girl! I'll really leave
Go ahead
Uncle, look!
I'm leaving
Take her to the station
Goodbye
Leaving?
I must get up early. Good night
Setsuko, stop and go home
I will. Good night
You came on your own
Don't say I was with you
I know
Sure?
No. 16 doesn't work!
Hot!
Hot but good
Why did you skip the meeting?
Because I didn't like it
Meeting him would have been fun
I doubt it
He might be a very nice guy
Forget it
Really?
Arranged marriages aren't always bad
Who says?
What counts is his personality
I don't love him
Love is an accumulation
You'll soon fall for him
You're so simple
What's wrong with being simple?
I think it's like animals
Listen, it seems you think too much
All marriage is the same
Delicious, huh?
Sure is
The soup's good, too
It should be - cheap but good
Lot's of good cheap food around
I know another shop
Take me there
Your aunt will get cross
So what?
More noodles?
No thanks
One more! Plenty of soup!
Setsuko came?
When?
An hour after your left
I took her to the theater
But she didn't come
I wonder what's on her mind
She shouldn't have done that
She was rude to that young man
Isn't that right? Really rude
Yes, she was
Because her parents spoil her
They should be more strict
You scold her, will you?
All right
Do so. I'm serious
She embarrassed me so much today
She's a problem
She sure is!
Uncle
You? Didn't you go home?
My mother'd get mad
So will your aunt
Aunty's all right
But mother is so nosy
Did Aunty go to bed?
She's still up
Don't tell her I came
Setusko!
Aunty, good evening
Look what you did!
I'm sorry
I won't speak to you
Scold her!
Bawl her out!
Sit down, Setsuko
Sit down
It was wrong of you
not to attend the meeting
You were rude to the man
It was too much
He's right
You ought to be more thoughtful
You're supposed to be an adult
But you act childish
Yes. Listen well
Everyone's worried about you
Yet, you're selfish
Why pick on me?
Didn't I warn you?
Trying to get a medal?
Never mind
I won these. Give half to Non-chan
I still have some
I'll go again
Don't flip it too hard
Do it this way
Let it go slowly... then...
Dear!
You were with Setsuko!
Why did you lie?
Well, I didn't...
Didn't that?
Didn't lie
What, then?
I didn't tell you, that's all
You know about the marriage meeting
didn't you?
Yes. I took her to the theater
But she didn't come
He really took me there
Then why didn't you come?
Where did you go?
That's all right
It's not all right
She didn't want to meet him
So what?
It can't be helped
What can't be helped?
If you force her to marry
they'll only end up like us
Really? Very well
I understand
Don't you mind?
Can't help it
It can't be helped
When did that happen?
Ten days ago
Haven't you talked since?
How's he doing?
He wants to talk. Like the other night:
I decided to go to bed early
He knocked on my door
and kept calling me
I'm amazed you can endure
I couldn't last so long
I don't want to talk, that's all
You're selfish. You lied to him, too
All married couples lie to one another
Really?
Not all are like that
Some never lie
If so, they're bored with each other
Compared with them, you're much better
Are we? Far from it?
Generally speaking, you ask too much
Why?
You'd skip school just because
you didn't like your hairdo
It's in the past!
You haven't changed
You want everything your way
You're totally selfish
Hello
Is your husband well?
May we talk?
Yes?
5,000 Yen
I need money
Glad you're getting alone
Then... excuse me
Hey, wait!
Give it
What?
The money
Want it back?
Just go straight home
Nice, isn't he?
Not necessarily
Really?
Yours is nice, too. You're selfish
I'm not
Yes, you are. Whatever you say
You love him after all
No, I don't
You do Otherwise you'd have divorced him
You don't understand
What?
My feelings
I do understand
You don't! I'll go!
Why so soon? Listen...
What?
Your supper's ready
I'm coming
She's coming, sir
Give me rice. I'm hungry
Welcome home. I'm already eating
Why not eat?
Dear
Don't eat like that!
Sorry, I forgot
Do you always eat like that?
Does he?
Does he eat like that?
Say yes
Only when alone
Didn't I say not to?
Yes. Sorry, but I forgot
Then, please don't
I won't. I just forgot
She told me off
Does your family do this?
Yes
In Saitama?
In Nagano Too. Maybe not in Tokyo
It's tasty
Do you do this?
No, sir
Why not?
Mrs. Satake hates it
Is that so?
Who is it?
Me
Why not eat?
I'm not hungry
Where is she?
Taking a bath
Will you tell her to come upstairs?
Fumi!
You want me?
Sit down
No thanks. Talk
You're in a bad mood
I don't think so
Just sit down
No, thank you
Sorry for a while ago
I didn't know you hated it so much
Eat any way you like
No. I won't
My folks taught me to eat like that
Is it wrong?
I'm not saying it's wrong
I'll stop
I wonder why it's always like this
What?
For example, the cigarettes I smoke
You don't want me to smoke Rising Sun
But I like the brand - cheap but good
Trains too. You don't like third class
But I like it - I can relax
It's like Rising Sun
I'm comfortable with it
It's the way I was raised
Too bad, I was raised differently
I'm talking about me
You needn't change
Don't smoke Rising Sun
Everyone has his own way
In my case, after all...
Intimate, primitive and familiar...
I like things in that way
You do?
I'd ride in first class, too...
if it was only faster
That's enough
I'll stop. You may not like it
but I like things familiar
So do I. So let me do as I please
About trains, first class is familiar to me
There's something else too
Enough!
Listen...
Passengers, we're arriving at Hamamatsu

Wait

Mrs. Satake?
Right after you left...
She went out?
She said to give you this

When will she return?
Within a few days
Will you send a telegram?
My number is 1025
To Taeko Satake in care of H. Murayama

Something to discuss Come home soon
Yes. "Come home soon. " From Mokichi
That's all. Sent it now
I'm going abroad. Bring my suitcase
What about Mrs. Satake?
I wired her just now
Bring me the one... like this
I wonder what happened
She should come
Too late
The corporal has gone
It' a fine day. I'm glad
Shall we still wait?
You may leave. I'll stay a little longer
It's time she were back
Did you wire her?
Yesterday
Then she had enough time
Her!
I'm glad you're back. But you're late
What were you doing?
You're so late
Uncle already left
What were you doing?
He looked lonely
You read the telegram?
Why did you take a trip?
I felt like it
Come home sooner
The telegram came when I was out
We worried because you didn't come
Sorry, but I didn't know
He wired you day before yesterday
Did you get it?
Yes
But you didn't came
I didn't know what he was trying to say
That's why
Anyway
you should have come home sooner!
It's too late
Enough! It's over
Don't you mind at all?
No
Are you sure?
Then I'll leave
Me, too
Did he say anything?
Nothing, ma'am
Who is it?
Mr. Satake is back
You go to bed now
You're back?
The plane had trouble
Going to Uruguay, aren't you?
Yes. Montevideo
What went wrong?
Engine trouble
We came back
It'll leave tomorrow morning. I'm tired
What time tomorrow?
Nine. When did you get home?
Two hours after you took off
Really? How was the trip?
I won't do it again
What?
Go away without telling you
Do so. It's you way
No, I won't
I read the telegram you sent
But I didn't understand it
Maybe it's my fault
It was so sudden
Didn't you know in advance?
Not much. I tried to tell you
But you were in a bad mood
You should have told me
It was too sudden anyway
Get up early?
Sleepy?
Well... No
I'm hungry
Will you eat something?
So will I
Let's go downstairs
Cold?
No. We shouldn't wake the maid
Do you know where things are?
What things?
Bowls, chopsticks...
I'll find them. Let's go
Bread?
I prefer tea on rice
Tea on rice?
With pickles
It's maids' food
Want ham?
No, tea on rice
Here's some. Is it enough?
Sure. We need pickles
Talking in her sleep
It's Yone
Where's the pickling paste?
Here it is!
Shall I do it?
No thanks
I found it!
I wonder what
What is it?
Careful
Don't worry. Give me a bowl
Thanks
Have we got everything?
Small plates
Soy sauce
The rice
Thanks
Delicious!
It is? I'll try some
Smell the paste
It's unusual
It's good
Delicious
What's wrong?
What is it?
I'm sorry
For what?
What I've been
Why?
I didn't understand
I'm sorry
You said, "Intimate, primitive
familiar and relaxed. "
I understand now
Forget what I said
No. It's important
I was a fool
That's enough I'm glad you understand
Continue eating
It's tea on rice
It's the taste of it
Married couples should be like tea on rice
Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't know
Never mind
I'm glad I came home this evening
I'm glad you came home, too
It's enough. I'm glad you understand
Did he leave?
You see him off?
No, I didn't
I alone saw him off
Did you cry?
No
You're great. In my case, I cried
But this happened:
I ate tea on rice that night
With him?
Yes. After that I cried
How unusual!
You wept loudly?
I sobbed. Then I bawled
Then I apologized
He said, "It's enough. " but I wanted to talk
Then he kissed me to hush me
I saw his eyes fill with tears
I said, "Don't cry. " Then...
Don't you know how I feel? he asked
This is the happiest day
since we got married
I said it was foolish
of me to understand only now
I wept and apologized
Then I felt so wonderful
Is it all right?
About what?
It's time
Yes, it is
Stay longer Husbands are complicated
Women know them only when they're home
They only loaf when they're at home
They do lots of things when they're out
Women know only part of them
How true!
We called him Mr. Thick-head
He knew it all. I was shocked
About the spa, too
He mention it?
Be a smarter liar
But poor truth might be better than good lies
Wow! I'll leave
What's up?
I lied to come here. Goodbye
I'll go, too. What about Setsuko?
You stay
Thanks, but I'll go
Non-Chan is waiting
Sit down. Let him wait
Do you understand?
What?
Think well before you pick your groom
It's important
His ties... the way he dresses...
That doesn't matter
Let's put it...
Reliability - that's what counts most
I didn't know it
But now I like everything about him
He's the best husband around
Stop laughing and listen carefully
I wonder what he's doing in Uruguay
That's all
It's too much, Aunty. I'll leave
So soon?
I've had enough
Has Mrs. Satake fallen for
her husband so much?
Absolutely
That's now it should be
Things like ties and clothes don't count
Look at mine - secondhand
This one, too
So what?
What's really important is
reliability
Are you reliable?
Really?
Don't doubt it
You know me only when I'm loafing
Only part of me
The nerve of you!
If you detest it
you'll repent afterward
I know you
Setsuko!
