Please let me have a word
We're very pleased that both of you
could spare your valuable time
We greatly appreciate it
More than 10 years has passed
since our graduation
And we're very much
enjoying this reunion
It's a pleasure for us
We'd like to take this opportunity
to ask for your further guidance
Please eat, drink
and be merry
Let us enjoy ourselves,
like in the old days
Let me say something
Two more fellows
were expected this evening
But Sasaki's in Kobe on business
He sent the following telegraph
Pleased to hear
you're both in good health
Nakanishi called to announce
the birth of his baby earlier tonight
It's a boy!
He said he'd be late because he's busy
Wonderful news!
It was very kind of you to prepare
this wonderful reunion
We're happy to see you all as healthy
and active as ever
Years ago you dubbed me "badger"
But the badger is old now
Now I prefer to ask you
for your help and guidance
I sincerely hope that all of you
will be successful in your chosen fields
I express my heartfelt gratitude
Mr. Horikawa said everything
I wanted to say
Not only the badger
I, "Chicken", also seek your help
I'm sincerely pleased to meet you again
I didn't expect to see you in Tokyo
Another drink, sir?
Good to see you. You're married?
Yes
Most of us are, eh?
Oh, really
Married men, raise your hands
Just you and I are single
It appears so
And those with children?
Very good
With 2 children?
Anyone with 3?
Well, nobody with 3
What about me!
I have 4
Amazing isn't it, Horikawa?
Time flies!
Most of them have children already
I'm surprised, myself
One more, sir?
No thank you, I've had enough
Events are unpredictable
It's been over 10 years
since you quitted teaching.
And now, this reunion...
Quite so
Do you still offer flowers
to Yoshida's grave?
The boy who died on our excursion
It's nothing to be boastful of
I just feel sorry for him
But such an offering is not easy
I still picture you all as students
Strange, isn't it?
When I resigned my position
You held a party for me
I remember it
I often recall that night
The primroses were in full bloom
I was deeply moved
by the poem you recited
Does he recite poetry?
Yes, he's very good at all
We'd like to hear it
If you insist
Welcome
Sorry to be so late
Welcome back
You're still up, then?
Yes, how was the party?
I thoroughly enjoyed it
Great
My old pupils have become good men
I'm grateful
They still remember me
Even though I wasn't a good teacher
They were extremely kind
And I enjoyed myself very much
Were there many coming?
They asked all about you
I was so happy
Yes?
You must work as hard as they do
We should all do our best
What do you think of Hirata's daughter?
What?
I wonder if you'll marry her
I'm still too young
I like that Fumiko, too
Hirata also wants to see you both
get married
Don't be so shy
Or is there someone else?
No
You're the right age to marry
And it's inconvenient to stay single
Will you marry her?
Yes. Please arrange it
You'll leave it all to me
She'll make a good wife
She's the type I've been looking for
Now I feel relieved
And very drunk
Get me some water
Oh, I feel wonderful
Any plans for today?
I'm going to buy a book
A book? Again?
I need a chemistry textbook
I found one but too worn out
I saw a good one the other day
So I think I'll buy it
You should visit the museum too
There are many wonderful works there
Really?
Only 10 cents
Now, there's an exhibition
of traditional paintings
Really?
Go see them. Their beauty is profound
You'll appreciate them
Let's go for a look
I'll bring Hirata over tonight,
all right?
Master Ryohei!
Your father...
What's wrong?
What happened?
I feel a little pain, here
Will you be alright?
Yes, don't worry
Father, are you okay?
That's alright
Why don't you stay home today?
No
I never take days off
Father!
Call the doctor!
Oh, father!
Help me with my coat
I feel dizzy
Father! Oh, Father!
