LUCKY CHARM
  OF NARITAYAMA SHRINE  
Okajima's attacks are worth learning!
We'll celebrate at my house, it's also my sisters birthday.
Here I come, Baron!
I demand an apology.
Come brother, our guests are here.
Can you lend to me a little money,
I've lost my purse.
Please take it and go home, Miss.
Hey! Long-Beard!
This is our business not yours.
Take care of that behaviour of yours!
Long-Beard!
Don't think it ends here!
I will never forget a
badly dressed ugly girl like you!
Mr. Okajima has arrived.
You have invited your new bearded friend?
Send him away, he does not appeal to us, he's too old-fashioned.
You could help him to modernize.
As soon as Long-Beard arrives we must embarrass him.
The women are alone?
It's better that way, no?
   Happy Birthday, Miss.   
Thanks, but I would have preferred a different birthday!
Do you want to dance with us?
I don't know how to dance in company.
I'll go to prepare myself.
I do not like your friend,
send him away!
Thay have all gone.
   I too, must go.   
WHILE OKAJIMA WAS STUDYING
THE BEARD WAS ALRIGHT,
BUT NOW IN ORDER TO FIND WORK...
Please excuse the wait, you will enter in the order you should have arrived.
You are Okajima?
Okajima is the first one.
Mr. Okajima isn't here?
THE NEXT DAY
I am exausted! I have looked for work everywhere, but without success.
Courage, Okajima! Let's go, I'll get you something at the bar.
IF THE SPRING ARRIVES I ACCEPT IT IF IT GOES AWAY I DO NOT CHASE IT
ALL COME AND GO -
THE SENSES ARE PURIFIED
I present the Baron
Teruo Yukimoto.
What is it you wish?
I wish to speak in private
with Mr. Okajima.
I'll say good day to you,
and leave you with the young lady.
It's not what you think.
At the office I wasn't able to thank you for the other day.
What can I do for you?
I hope that it isn't taken as an offense...
I think you would do better
if you shaved.
BARBER
Why should I?
I think you didn't get the job yesterday because of the beard.
Why have you grown a beard?
Do you know why president Lincoln had a beard?
In order to keep the women away.
Then it did not work.
BARBER
    LINCOLN IN 1931    
That's him, Long-Beard!
He's well disguised!
The ancient heroes all had beards.
Also the Ministry of the Treasury encourages them to be grown.
You take a liquorice
to make ideas clear.
Baron, we have a visitor.
From tomorrow,
I start working in a hotel.
Why have you removed your beard?
You dislike it?
I have followed the advice of a young lady.
Now that you're without beard it makes you appeal to me also as well as her.
  LATER IN SPRING  
They have asked for your daughter's hand in marriage. Has Hiroko not decided yet?
We do not want it,
we have written so outside.
Mother, this is the gentleman who saved me the other day.
  I have come to thank  
Miss. Hiroko
I have followed her advice
to shave and have found a job.
Unfortunately I don't have any gift. I have only just found a job, you understand...
Up to now you have never said that you do not like him.
Please meet him,
you will see that you like him.
You stay with him,
I must speak with his mother.
Do you practice kendo?
No, my game is golf.
I will not marry someone who does not practice kendo.
Why?
Because I want to feel protected.
We have the police to protect us,
I think.
Then I will marry
a policeman.
Help!
What did you do? Behavior like this is not suited to our social status.
I will not marry
