be in town long?
Yes, we will meet again.
The tea...
Right away.
Forget it.
Call the taxi.
Never mind.
Call the taxi.
No thanks.
No need now.
Hope you can stay a little longer.
We will meet soon.
No need, they have left.
Have some?
No, thanks.
Your husband?
He's on a trip.
I will phone you around Friday.
Sorry to stay long.
Good night.
You are back!
The bath's ready?
Have you bathed?
Not yet.
And you?
Not yet.
Why not, it is very late.
We didn't feel like it.
Get my clothes ready.
We will go to bed first.
Good night!
Look at this!
They didn't like it? It cost a lot.
Tokiko would be mad at this.
The way she ate.
Why bother buying so many?
You be careful!
Bad girl!
Delicious!
I am tired.
Massage for you?
No need.
Tomorrow, I will wash clothes,
shampoo,
and write to Shojiro.
Let's go to sleep.
Good night!
I saw boiled fish in Ginza,
seems delicious.
I want to send some to Shojiro.
But I have no money.
I don't have any too.
What a pity.
I spent the money eating with Tokiko.
You are nice.
Can you go to sleep?
Shall I tell Kazuko to stop?
Never mind.
But you are tired.
The maids must get up early.
What will you do?
I will ask her to stop.
Don't bother!
No problem.
Do as you like, but tell her politely.
Can you stop playing the piano?
Why, noisy?
Mother can't sleep.
Thanks.
I don't mind.
Good night.
Setsuko!
We must be more considerate
of each other.
This time I might have been wrong.
Sometimes I have to
swallow my complaints
because...
we live in the same house.
When the guest came this morning,
you should have greeted them.
We thought it would disturb them.
Why?
Didn't you tell us to stay out?
Yes, I did.
Then...
If you had stayed out, it's all right.
But when you came back
you should have greeted them.
And Tanimoto was one of the guests
Mother knows her, doesn't she?
No one likes to admit she is wrong.
They soon learn what is wrong
with other people.
But they must bear it
for each other's sake.
Right?
Do you understand?
Understand?
Good night.
They have trouble?
Neither of them is wrong.
It happens because they must live
together in that house.
Maybe.
They are in a bad mood sometimes.
Moving may be good diversion
for mother.
Fine, I will let them stay here.
Really? Thank you.
I hope Ryokichi studies hard...
even with his Grandmother here,
but with her around
he might not obey me.
I will warn them about it.
All right.
After staying here, they might
move to Ayako's.
Will the maid come, too?
Yes, they will bring lots of things.
And the bird, too.
Want to work? What about a clerk?
What kind of job do you want?
Don't, your friend may be working.
But you are different.
Don't think so casually.
It is not only your concern.
Please consider us!
Your father would be disgraced.
What will the others think
if you go out to work?
Dad died, we may not be well off.
But you have no need to work.
Our situation is not that worse.
Don't think too much.
Your wedding is coming.
Give up this stupid idea.
Understand?
Don't think about it again!
Suppose I went shopping and
found you as the clerk.
I will be ashamed.
Are you sure?
Anyone around?
Go clean upstairs.
Hey!
Where are my clothes?
Please prepare for me.
And a coat.
Going out?
Did my son go to school yesterday?
Every day?
Of course.
But his teacher wants to meet me.
He hasn't been to school.
The teacher said he is often absent.
I wonder what happened.
Any ideas?
Come to think of it.
One day, you were out
and he was home.
I asked him why he wasn't at school.
He said he had fought
with a friend of his.
When was it?
When I was still living with Soichiro.
Why didn't you tell me?
I should have. I'm sorry.
This might not have happened.
I suppose so. I should've told you.
It's too late for that.
I am sorry
It's no use apologizing.
But I made a promise with him then.
Promise for what?
Not to tell anybody
if he behaves himself.
It
