I have to get my car from my dad. I'll go right now.
We need stock. Buy them.
He'll give me hell.
I want a gun.
Don't quarrel. Pretend you're listening.
I have good ears, unlike your left ear.
My dad's stingy about the car.
But he made a down payment.
I'd steal it. You can own things your parents own.
Your mother hates girls like me.
You have an umbrella?
Only one for a woman.
"Holding an umbrella,
"Jack goes to a box with his balls."
What?
A funny poem by a funny writer.
I'm not educated, but I know these things.
It's about a man visiting his girl.
But I'll go to my old man and wife.
Holding an umbrella Jack goes to a box...
"YOUTH TO KILL"
No! No!
Damn that old man!
Hell! My mamma!
Jun, what's up?
I don't like this!
This is silly.
It's not the place.
Don't do it! Not here!
Turn on the light.
I want you to look at my body.
I've seen you.
Surprised to see me so well developed?
Your mamma's smart.
She knows I've been in love with you.
Say it.
What did you say?
Hell! I spoke into your deaf ear.
I lost hearing.
Because I ate a fig.
A fig?
There was a fig tree by the back door of your old house.
You told that to my mamma.
Did I?
She's an alcoholic now, but she was strict then.
She slapped me on my ear.
Did she do that?
That's why I lost hearing in it.
I don't remember.
It's true. Believe me.
I think you had to tell my mamma about the fig.
If it's true, I'll have to apologize.
Don't. I don't want you to apologize.
Darling, come here!
Wait! Wait!
I'll hit you!
We've been waiting for you.
Is this a trap? I shouldn't have come.
I didn't notice you took the key. You're a thief.
You're thieves. You stole it from me.
Where's that girl?
She isn't with me.
He says she isn't here.
If Keiko's here, we can settle it right away.
Is this her umbrella?
Don't! It's still usable.
Go hurry - I know how to make her leave you.
I'll handle it.
You may get mad,
but I had a private detective investigate her.
Your mother doesn't know.
You did the same thing to me.
Part with Keiko at once.
I will - after 3 months.
Do it now, or her body will bind you like your mother says.
It's not her body I love.
Do you mean you love her character?
If you don't leave her, I'll have to quit the snack bar.
Why should you?
Why did you hire me? Just to fire me?
You bought the car for me, didn't you?
You brought Keiko to me, didn't you?
Why change your mind now?
I'll start to hate you, if you keep it up.
Don't get mad. There're knives around here.
I said "if."
Do you know how Keiko lost the hearing in her left ear?
Her mother hit her.
Is that in the detective's report?
Why was she hit?
Because of a fig.
Years ago, she ate a fig from the tree near our house.
I don't remember any fig tree.
By the backdoor.
There was an azalea outside the backdoor.
Azaleas don't bear fruit.
Did Keiko say she ate a fig?
I told her mother she ate it.
Are you sure you told her?
You'd believe anything a girl tells you? How gullible!
Was it really an azalea?
Why would a mother hit her child so hard
she becomes deaf?
Better think about it.
What does the report say?
She was raped by her mother's lover.
Her mother thought Keiko seduced him.
Things like that sometimes happen.
She's lying to you. Can't you see?
Know where she got the fig idea?
A fig leaf is used for hiding a man's privates.
It's classic.
The rapist was a foreigner.
Stop!
She's the kind who'd lie when the truth wouldn't hurt.
It was a fig tree.
No!
I remember one.
Go ask your mother, then.
She knows nothing of the report.
Jun, eat supper before you go.
I'll start cooking.
Jun, I've bought vegetables for your snack bar.
I'm too good-natured.
I complain and still get stock for you.
Don't come! Don't come here.
What? What happened?
Don't look! Go away!
Don't look!
He's just stopped breathing.
Hospital...
Did you call an ambulance?
Isn't he breathing?
He stopped moving while I was looking.
Don't die, my dear!
Don't die!
Calm down. He's already dead.
I killed him.
I stabbed him.
With this.
Don't you see?
What do you mean?
Maybe you can't understand.
Understand what?
Darling!
There's so much blood!
We'll never clean it all.
What did you say?
Jun, do you...?
It's still wet. Look at this blood.
You fool!
Don't hold a thing like this!
Why did you do it?
I wanted to shut him up.
About Keiko? What did he say about her?
I'll tell it to the police.
I'll go later and give myself up.
Give yourself up?
Don't worry about it. I don't care.
Absolutely no! I don't want you to be jailed!
I won't go!
I said, I'll go. Calm down.
Let's think about this.
You didn't hurt an outsider.
This is strictly a family matter.
No one is charging you with anything.
Can't you see? Your father had object to your execution.
I'll be executed.
I couldn't bear it.
Your father dead and you executed? It's too much.
It's for the state to decide.
The state is nothing.
Law!
Laws are worthless! Don't let them disturb our family.
Forget about laws!
The state and law -
Did you understand what I said?
A little.
A little is not enough. You must understand fully.
All this will only cause us a lot of trouble.
This doesn't affect anybody except us.
Law and the state don't matter?
I'll close it.
What?
The shop.
Wash your face and hands.
We'll have to get busy. Pull yourself together.
I forgot something important.
Okay. I won't go to the police.
Darling, please protect us.
If you have a soul, give us your advice.
Help him when he's questioned by the police.
If you still have a soul...
Stop it! You're foolish!
I'm praying for you. Can't you see?
I don't believe the soul exists after death.
But I don't want him to punish you.
Punish me?
Let him do, if he can. I couldn't care less.
You should respect your dead father.
If the police have nothing to do with this,
I'd feel worthless.
The blood's beginning to congeal.
What shall we do?
We have to clean it up.
Jun!
You can't help. Let me do it.
We have to get rid of him.
I'm a no-good bum.
I'm no-good. I'm no-good.
Jun!
You're becoming hysterical!
You look like you're going to burn the house.
Want me to?
You fool! Don't even think of such a thing!
Come with me.
I couldn't speak beside his body.
Of what?
Let's live together from now on - just us.
Let's pretend your father eloped with a young woman.
Agree with me.
It's a small matter.
Frankly, I feel I've been waiting for this situation.
His death?
Nonsense!
I've been waiting for this.
I'd been wishing he'd suddenly disappear.
So I wouldn't have to handle truck tires.
I'd be relieved of hard work.
I don't want to fix flat tires at age 45.
Listen, let's sell this place.
The shop and the house.
We can get 25 million yen just for the lot.
Let's sell your bar
and go to a town where nobody knows us.
Where nobody knows us.
Let's buy a condominium.
If it's not too dear,
we can live several years without working.
We'll stay indoors and won't see anybody.
Study hard and try to go to college.
Go to prep school and a college
and then do graduate work.
And continue studying and become a scholar.
And then -
And after 10 years, you can marry a kind, decent woman.
Ten years?
The statute of limitations. After that we can relax.
If it's felony, the period is fifteen years.
I see. Fifteen years.
In 15 years, you'll be almost forty.
But be patient as I'll act as your wife till then.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Fifteen years...
You mustn't tell our secret to anybody until then.
Can you do that?
Everybody in the world is your enemy.
Do you understand?
The person closest to you is your worst enemy.
You mean Keiko?
Yes.
If you're with her, you'll reveal the secret.
Even if you don't, she'll sense it. She'll know.
Shut up! I'll leave her.
I'm glad to hear it.
If you refused to leave her, I wouldn't know what to do.
Thank you, thank you.
Stop! I feel lousy.
Send her away somewhere.
Send her to Hokkaido, even if you have to pay.
Don't give me orders! I'm no kindergarten kid!
I have to plan everything.
Then think of how to get rid of the body.
I've already decided.
Look! We'll use this as a weight.
This weighs 20 kilos.
A weight? Into the sea?
Exactly. We'll call it burial at sea.
Where's best?
The best place is a clean, deep place far from the shore.
Trouble is it's hard to rent a boat these days.
What'll happen to the body if the water's dirty and oily?
It'll rot completely.
Of that I'm sure.
Only his bones will remain.
They'll be washed and become like shells.
An old wheel rusts faster.
It can't act as a weight very long.
We'll have to use a new one.
I think you've planned this for a long time.
A truck driver told me
it was the best way to dispose a body.
Any better way?
Let's think of a better way by tonight.
I'll get ready to dispose it.
Where are you going?
To the bathroom. It's the best place for it.
You can wash away blood easily there.
Let's work together. We'll do the dirtiest job first.
Cover your nose too.
What for?
Because of the smell of blood.
You hold his feet. I'll hold his head.
Damn it! We're not moving a bed.
I'll do it.
Blood will make you slip and fall.
I don't care.
Jun!
Not that way!
Shut up! Don't give me orders!
I did this, so I'll dispose it by myself.
I didn't know it'd be as easy as this.
His body slides on his own blood.
Stop!
Pull it more gently.
Shut up, will you?
Whether I handle it gently or roughly,
it's still the same.
What's the difference?
This is a coffin for you.
A polyethylene coffin.
Forgive us, darling.
Be patient until we drop you into the sea.
We'll purify you with seawater.
I'll put him in there!
Wait!
What'll we do, if he hates the sea bottom and comes up?
We'd better use several wheels.
You liked the sea.
When you came here for the first time,
you were riding a bicycle looking at the sea.
There were many people gathering shell fish.
"I like the sea.
"You can get sea shells if you dig into sand.
"I'll stop peddling popsicles and live by seashore."
You said so, didn't you?
Are you through?
Stop it!
Darling!
Does he hate to be sunk into the sea?
It can't be. He ought not to get angry.
You remember, don't you?
Your bicycle had a flat tire and we couldn't go home.
We spent the night on the beach.
We watched the sunrise over the sea.
You shouted, "This is the sea!
"I'll find a job around here!"
You said that many times while I was fixing the tire.
You were looking up at my face from the sand. You said,
"I have nothing
"but my two hands and two feet to work with."
So I said to you, "No, you're wrong."
I said, "If you're a man,
"you have another leg in the middle."
Your face turned red. You suddenly got up and said,
"I haven't used it for a long time.
"But it's still good."
Answer it.
Shut up! We're busy now!
Are you scared? If so, cut the phone wire.
We can't. We mustn't act like criminals.
I'm criminal already.
Make it snappy. You're too weak.
You're wrong. My heart is...
I feel as if my heart's being squeezed by an invisible hand.
An invisible hand?
My heart's aching. I feel a pain.
Drink some whiskey.
I'll call a doctor.
No, I better not.
Do you have heart disease?
I feel a pain for the first time.
I'll go away.
I think it'll be impossible to hide the truth.
I'll find a way to settle this.
You'd better find your own way.
What do you mean by my own way?
What do you mean?
I have to put you in upside down. Forgive me.
Jun!
We'll need quite a few towels.
You're planning to run away from me.
If you don't plan to live with me,
why bother cleaning up here?
You're right.
I must be an idiot.
What's funny? I know you'll run from me.
Running away from me -
do you want to do so?
You're innocent. You needn't run.
Don't lie to me!
You're planning to run off with her.
I didn't say that.
I can see it in your face.
You plan to blame me for it and run away with her.
With all the money in the safe, huh?
If I'd planned to, I'd be gone already.
You mean you don't know where the key to the safe is?
Don't be stupid. I wasn't planning to leave you.
You laugh. You're planning to cheat me. I know you are.
Don't get excited.
You're the one who's getting excited.
You're obsessed by her.
You're being enslaved by that slut.
You killed your father.
And now you're going to steal my money!
I've slaved for that money for 20 years.
Stop talking!
I'm not saying I'll run for my own sake.
Even the phone scared you.
You won't be able to get away with this.
You'd better tell the truth.
All right.
Don't talk any more.
I know I'd better die.
I know that.
I'll set fire to this house.
They'll think I'd lost my mind and killed him and myself.
The whole thing will seem more honorable that way.
Hey!
You can leave. Go anywhere you like.
Run away with your slut. I don't care any more.
I'm fed up with it.
What are you doing?
I want to dress.
I want to wear my best kimono when I die.
I haven't spent even 1,000 yen for my own pleasure.
I haven't visited a hot spring. I haven't done anything.
I'm sorry.
An apology's useless now.
What do you say?
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Move away!
I'm hungry.
We'll finish cleaning and...
After eating we'll think it over.
Jun, use this sheet to wrap him. I don't need this.
Die! Die before I kill myself!
You cheated me!
I'll kill myself. But we must all die!
Jun, are you...?
I'll be killed like he was.
No, you won't be. On the contrary -
Tell me frankly.
You must've planned this from the beginning.
What an ass I've been.
You and Keiko decided to kill me, if things went wrong.
I'm really stupid.
I didn't realize that
and talked foolishly about a new life.
Shut up!
I'm a fool and you're a fool. Mother and son - two fools.
Mother...
Prepare to die! Consider it punishment for his murder.
Jun!
Jun, my dear.
Please thrust it gently.
Don't make me feel pain.
Do it quickly.
Gently.
It hurts!
You hurt me!
Die!
I'm dying!
I won't have to work any more.
No more hard work.
I'm glad.
Jun, my dear.
Go to prep school.
Go to college.
Take the postgraduate course.
Fifteen years.
You'll only have to stand it for 15 years.
Marry a girl.
A kind, decent girl.
How stupid! I pinched my finger in the car door.
I'm all wet. I need underwear, a shirt and jeans.
Jun!
I'll close the shop.
Where are the vegetables?
No time to get them.
You're lying. You had time to change your clothes.
Hurry! Pack your things.
This is new. You have a date with somebody?
I attacked my parents.
It must've been a battle. I bet you got hurt, didn't you?
You must be hungry.
Why don't you answer me?
You were able to get your car back.
Sometimes it's good to fight them.
Your parents are pretending to be virtuous.
They're always arguing.
My mother and I call each other names.
I was the cause of your quarrel as usual, wasn't I?
Never mind. Forget it.
But they don't like me.
It's finished. Let's go.
Right now?
Yes. I have money.
I can't just leave. I have to cook something.
Ask them to go.
They're the speed demons.
I'll talk to them.
They're tougher than your parents.
They're real fighters, you know.
Sorry, folks, but we have to close shop now.
Damn it! What are you doing?
We're closing up now.
Like hell! We already ordered.
That's why I apologized. We have to close up now.
Ass! We eat first!
We won't leave even after we eat.
What's the deal?
We've known each other, haven't we?
What happened?
I just want you all to leave.
Jun, if you're sick, tell them.
I don't have to. And I'm not sick.
Damn you! Don't act big!
You want us to bust up the place?
Tear it apart! Wreck everything!
I want to see that.
Don't, Jun!
Stop bullying him!
Destroy it!
Lousy shop!
You'll get a good salary.
Salary?
You mean I'll just be an employee?
A hired bartender?
You're wrong.
I'll cover all the initial losses. That's what I mean.
It's my goodwill toward you.
I plan to stop our old tire business.
Business is getting slow.
And I'm getting old and tired.
After your bar gets going, we'll open a restaurant.
My idea's pretty good, huh?
You won't succeed to my job. Instead I'll learn from you.
You make it sound easy.
But I won't do it all my life.
A man should think that way.
I hate to flatter people.
So do I. You should always be honest about things.
Hey, Mr. Saiki.
Why do you call me that?
I'm talking to a business associate.
One thing, Mr. Saiki.
Don't fire me once you leave it to me.
Why say that?
You sometimes act like that.
Whenever I get hot on a thing you give me -
You mean your 8 mm. Camera and radio?
They interfered with your study.
You locked them in the safe. I used to cry in front of it.
I can't hide a snack bar in the safe. It's too big.
Don't laugh, Mr. Saiki.
Forget the Mr. Thing, will you?
Draw a shape like a "sumo" ring.
Sumo ring?
Let's sumo wrestle.
Don't kid yourself.
Stop! This is ridiculous.
I thought we'd do well,
because only poor people argue.
You'd better not think that way.
Are you hating me?
What?
I didn't let you go to college.
I forgot. That was four years ago.
A radical student was killed by members of the opposition.
I thought that kind of trouble would continue.
I was wrong.
That I'd be killed too?
I thought you'd be a killer.
Why?
I wasn't wounded in the war.
I was confident my son wouldn't be killed
in college fights.
Damn your confidence!
Get angry, young bartender!
Are you that happy?
This lot will develop to a business headquarters.
It's like a gold mine. Can't you understand?
No, I can't.
Tens of thousands of people will use this airport.
I can't understand.
I can't understand, so I want to be an onlooker.
You're strong.
Use that energy to run the bar.
Can I run a bar?
You'll soon get used to it.
You pigs! Don't ever come again!
Jun.
How are you? Do you feel dizzy?
A little.
How? Do you feel a pain?
My brain's crushed.
Don't exaggerate. It's only a nosebleed.
Don't fight like this again.
I can't, if I want to.
You were supposed to work for 6 months.
We're finished now.
Jun, what happened? What do you mean by "finished"?
Go and get packed. I'll pay your salary for 3 months.
I don't get it. Do you want to fire me?
I'll go with you. I've been kicked out.
You must have had a real fight.
What did they say?
Don't ask me.
I know. They said, "Get rid of Keiko, or out you go."
Think as you like.
You defended me and you were kicked out. Is that true?
I didn't know you liked me that much.
I'll deliver your things to your home.
Where are you going?
I haven't decided.
Want me to go see your folks?
What for?
To beg forgiveness. I'll say anything.
Forget it!
If we lose this bar, we won't be together.
I can't continue to work here.
If you command me to come with you, I guess I will.
Command?
Never mind. I was only supposed to work here
for 6 months.
But I'll leave you after 3 months.
I see. You've been treating me lightly.
Am I wrong?
Would you regret giving me up, even a little?
I won't kiss you.
It'll make it too hard to leave you.
I'll pack your things.
We'll take a lot of baggage,
like we're starting on a long journey.
Do people think we're running from our homes?
Shall we go somewhere on a trip?
I don't like the idea of a final trip.
I'd rather shake hands and say goodbye on a street.
And just walk away in different directions.
Shake hands?
Are you getting angry with me?
Because I don't cry and say I feel sad?
No, I'm not.
Of course I feel sad, but I'm pleased, too.
As if I ate a lot of what I like most.
Like what?
If I tell you, you'll scold me.
But I'll tell you frankly.
You know the first part of you I saw when I was little?
Can you guess? It was your larry.
It was skinny and white.
You had what I didn't.
Don't make up a story.
I'm not lying. I didn't tell you because I was ashamed.
I wanted to have it.
Shut up!
Why make such a face?
He won't come in. I turned off the lights.
What are you doing?
Don't be silly! We have to break up.
All right. But let's do it later.
You fool!
Saiki! Saiki! This is Miyata!
I forgot Mr. Miyata's wedding party.
I don't care!
Stop it! Don't do it!
What if they come in from the back?
We'll do it in front of them.
Jun!
What's wrong with you?
Do it in front of them? You're crazy!
So what?
Mr. Saiki, we've brought the films.
What happened?
I heard voices.
We're here! Wait!
Don't talk!
Don't you like it that Mr. Miyata married his girl?
Why should I care?
Then why did you hurt me?
Shall we go around back?
I'll open the door.
What'll I do? Shall I send them away?
Good evening.
I feel we're intruders.
We were making love.
I was joking.
Saiki, are you sick or something?
We decided to close the place and go away.
Did you sell the shop?
So we're acting strangely.
We can't arrange for the party?
Didn't you tell him to come today?
I forgot. I'm sorry.
Let me introduce Hidaka to you.
He's Hidaka who'll host the party. He's an 8th grader.
7th grader.
He's Saiki. He was my classmate.
I thought you were crying, but I was wrong.
Why should you think that?
The mood here makes me think so.
Will you leave, Mr. Miyata?
I understand. I'll come some other day.
I want to borrow the projector.
I forgot to bring it. Sorry.
You're acting irresponsible. It's not like you.
It was your idea to screen it at the party.
We can get it from Saiki's mother.
Will you call her?
Isn't it all right?
He had a fight with his parents, so he can't...
That has nothing to do with this.
He was fool enough to fight with his parents.
And I'm fool enough to get married.
I want him to call his mother.
The world's full of surprises.
That's right.
Whatever condition I'm in, the world still rotates.
Miyata, Ikuko, congratulations.
I'm Jun Saiki. I'm speaking for your friends.
CRUCIFIXION Family-Imperialism
When we were in school, we produced this movie.
I was both writer and director.
When Japan was a little more interesting country,
we were students called "high school kids."
There were troubles in many high schools.
There was trouble in our high school.
When it was over, a student died.
It was suicide.
Soon after that,
we decided to make a movie starring his girl friend.
The girl was Miss Ishikawa, the bride here.
This is the bridegroom.
These funny people are our fathers,
mothers,
and teachers.
Back then, they were all our enemies.
Miyata and Ikuko became close during the shooting.
They entered a college in Tokyo.
And now they're married.
They ignored the theme of this picture.
And they decided to make their home together.
Congratulations!
By the way I...
Jun, come right in.
The tire dealer's son.
He lived next door.
I remember him. He was a serious student in junior high.
He's still very serious.
Drink this.
No, thanks.
You're operating a bar with Keiko, her daughter. Drink?
Isn't my daughter with you?
Tell me.
Did we have a fig tree?
A fig tree?
There wasn't any in this neighborhood.
By our backdoor.
That was an azalea. A really big azalea, too.
But someone dug it up and ran away.
What are you talking about?
Hello, Keiko. How are you?
Take this.
Thank you very much.
Where did you put my cardigan?
I don't know.
You should know. Where is it?
I said I don't know!
I don't like it!
Don't wear it without my permission. It's mine.
Let's go, Jun.
You must drink. It's a social custom.
You're the boss.
You don't have to listen to my mother.
You're well-matched.
You got angry because of them?
Don't get mad at me.
Don't follow me!
Don't come near me.
Why? Do you want to leave me?
You'd better go and don't come back to me.
I'll come.
I can't understand you.
Keiko! Keiko!
I killed my father and mother today.
So I won't see you again. I can't!
What? What did you say?
Jun, I can't hear you.
You'd better not hear me.
Don't be mean!
Release me!
If you've something to tell me, why don't you -?
Be careful! The boards are loose over there!
Stop it!
Jun, are you crazy?
I'm crazy. So I said not to come to me again.
Why are you acting like that?
Jun, wait! Wait!
I haven't enough rope.
And I need another sheet.
Jun.
I know you're here.
Where are you?
Jun.
You should be here.
Don't! Don't touch it!
I finished!
What? What did you say?
I'll carry them to the sea later.
To the sea?
I'll do it at dawn.
Damn it! Blood's all over.
Why did you do this awful -?
Shut up! You don't need to know!
Tell me why. Tell me!
Why did you come? I told you not to come.
Because there's no place for me to go, but here!
Wash yourself!
Fool! Why continue scrubbing?
I said, wash yourself! You've got blood on your face.
Jun, don't! Water gets into my ear! No!
Look! The blood's gone.
I'm clean now.
It was simple.
I sunk them. I sunk both.
Just like that?
Did you expect a waterspout?
Nobody saw you. You're safe now.
Nothing happened. I wish something had happened.
Jun, drive carefully!
Are you afraid? Are you scared?
I believe I can wear a disguise.
I'll change my hairdo. To an Afro.
I'll wear a couple of beauty spots.
How will you hide your deaf ear?
Easy. I'll tie my hair on the left side.
About the fig tree...
Oh, that fig tree!
Your mother said there wasn't any fig tree.
There wasn't?
That's odd. If there wasn't any, I wouldn't have been slapped.
I remember. I was thirsty. I'd had a long swim.
May I eat some?
No! Don't tell my mamma.
I saw you! I saw you!
I wasn't on the beach.
Why not?
You've just been imagining it.
Did you know I lied?
When did you find out?
My dad hired a private detective.
Then do you know about the man? My mother's lover, too?
Yeah. He raped you, didn't he?
You've known everything. I didn't have to lie.
There's something you don't know.
The time he raped me wasn't the only time.
After the first time, I asked him to do it gently.
The more he did it, the more I liked it.
I was afraid. Since then I stopped -
Don't say any more!
My mamma hit me long after that.
When he quarreled with her, he spilled.
Stop!
Let me steal this.
She said the cause of her deafness was a fig, eh?
I don't think she was raped at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if she'd seduced the man.
Her drunken mother and her stud were doing it
every night.
Keiko saw them and heard them.
She wanted a little service, too.
He was her mother's stud.
He was like her father.
She must've done something to lure him.
Jun!
Why do you do this to me?
Jun.
Do something. You won't be able to drive the car.
What are you thinking?
I'm too tired to think about anything.
Shall I get some drinks?
Or...
Shall we take a rest at a motel?
Leave me alone!
I don't like the way you say so.
Are you mad at what I said?
It's not the only reason.
Is there any other reason? Oh, I see. That's the reason.
I now understand.
What do you understand?
Look! A man's surfing.
He's got on top of a wave. What an ass! He fell.
Your father had a detective check up on my past.
So you fought him.
And your present.
Because of my past, you killed your father.
It was a trigger.
He's doing it better this time.
You're mean and dirty!
Do you think I'm responsible for this?
Do you want to accuse me?
Go away!
Do you want to strangle me?
Try! You'll find out I'm not so easy to kill.
Shut up!
Ouch! You hurt me!
Damn you! How mean!
You spoiled brat! Die alone! Just crawl off and die!
Coward! You want to put blame on me?
You call yourself a man?
Damn you! You said before,
"There's a difference between to hate and to kill."
You said it so proudly. Arrogant bastard!
Look at yourself!
Now you're all upset because I lied about the fig.
It's a false reason! Don't include me!
Do you hear me? Say something!
In your movie,
the man who killed his parents was crucified.
What'll you do to yourself?
If you don't accuse someone, you'll go mad.
It's god dam hot.
My dad used to peddle popsicles,
ringing his bicycle bell.
I didn't know. Did he really sell popsicles?
It was the only job he could find.
He wanted to save up to make a business.
He even went without eating and drinking.
What a fool he was!
My mother took me by the hand.
We used to go and meet him.
We'd bring him his lunch.
Are you crying?
Fool! It's the sweat in my eyes.
You're crying.
Don't cry!
It's only sweat, god dammit!
I could've turned him down.
I wrestled with him before he built the shop.
I could've turned him down.
I shouldn't have owned anything.
But I had nothing. That made me feel lonely, so I...
I'll go to the bar.
What for?
I want to work there one more day,
as if nothing had happened.
If you do, you'll be caught.
Do you want to be caught?
Never mind. They're just the riot squad.
They only kill demonstrators.
Next!
Where to?
I don't know.
We're going to our snack bar.
Your key, please.
I put the bodies in here.
You put what?
The corpses. There may be bloodstains.
Don't talk nonsense!
He's a little out of his mind.
I carried them!
You mean human bodies?
My father and mother.
Look, bud, we're busy.
Move on!
Wait! I really killed my parents.
He's out of his head. It's the heat.
I killed my parents.
Are you going to leave me alone?
You're policemen, aren't you?
Looks like he's a little insane.
Can I kill my parents?
Do whatever you like.
I killed my parents!
Kill them if you want to. We don't care.
Is the tank empty?
I guess so.
Let's push it to the shop. I've got some gas there.
Let's brace ourselves.
Jun, what'll we do?
Didn't you plan to escape in this car?
I gave up.
Wait, Jun!
Yes, sir? What would you like?
Brandy? Whiskey?
You seem a little tired.
So, you'd better have absinth or vodka.
Or maybe gin would be better.
Here you are. Enjoy this.
You fool!
You're a fool!
Jun's head is empty.
His stomach is empty.
His groin is empty.
We like rock candy.
Candy is sweet.
Sweet as sugar.
Sugar is white.
White as a rabbit.
A rabbit leaps.
I'll take the car back.
You'd better rest here.
Jun!
Are you desperate?
So you talked to the idiot cops?
Jun, don't die alone! I don't want you to!
Shut up!
No! No! No!
I can't kill myself with this.
It only hurts!
I'll die. I want to die with you, Jun.
I wish I'd decided to die, when I slept with you last night.
Stop it, Keiko! Don't!
Say you love me, Jun.
Please say it, Jun!
Go away!
What are you going to do?
No! Don't! Stop, Jun!
Don't treat me like this!
Go away!
Jun, Jun, open the door!
I'll burn this place!
Shut up! I'll kill myself!
I'll burn this shop and kill myself.
Open the door!
Jun! What happened to you?
Jun! What are you doing?
Open the door!
Please open the door!
Jun, what are you doing?
I'm a coward, I have to do this to kill myself.
I'll do it!
I can't stand! It's too hot!
Go away!
Go away, you fool!
Don't die!
Did you say something?
We're going to run away.
We are, aren't we?
