That boy studies EconomY.
He's very studious.
Is he bright?
No, he studies a lot
but he's not very good.
Saeki, you're not the head of the class.
Why do you study so much?
Why don't you join the "Group of Defenders"
like Horino and Kumada?
I'm the only support for my mother,
I can't afford to divert myself.
Horino invites you to take something:
will you come?
Horino, you live in luxury.
Right.
A big boy like you looks stronger
wearing a torn T-shirt.
School is not like this game,
that's why you do so badly.
Drinking beer in the evening
seems much more satisfying.
When I drink and dress like this,
I don't look like a director of the "Horino"company.
Today that nitwit Yamamura has brought
his daughter, the "modern one".
I told him I'm eating,
but he doesn't want to leave.
Uncle Akasaka always introduces us
to strange people.
I'm sorry you don't like this girl,
but you will have to marry her.
But, father! Can't we refuse?
Yes, but your aunt will get angry.
I don't know what will happen.
Don't smoke here at least.
Our times are different from yours.
Tetsuo has returned, but he's drunk.
I don't think he'll be able to come now.
I didn't know Tetsuo drank.
A French writer has said:
"the sweet drug is alcohol".
I also drink.
But when he drinks he becomes violent.
What?
He become violent?
Falling in love's an adventure.
Violence fascinates women.
Moreover, he's got another vice:
when he gets drunk, he steals.
How? Is Tetsuo now a thief?
See, at this very moment the heart of Tetsuo
is also being stolen.
I believe he's just my type.
I really like him.
He's a thief.
Yes, he's exceptional.
How fine!
He's like that.
It's a cheap imitation.
Don't you see? He's very sincere.
He's like that.
We've won! We got what we wanted!
Your uncle Akasaka has come.
He's speaking with Miss Yamamura
in the entry.
If you flee now, you'll be a villain.
Trapped.
Aren't you ashamed, I'm astonished!
I worked a lot to organize this meeting.
You always throw everything away.
Words fail me.
I never liked that girl.
You shouldn't spoil him.
FINAL EXAMINATION OF THE YEAR
I have bad news: your father is dying.
You can take the next exam.
Go home.
Did you finish the exam?
My father is not well.
My son!
It was very sudden.
He had a cerebral hemorrhage.
Father, I am Tetsuo.
Can you hear me?
This morning he was well:
why did this happen?
TETSUO HAD TO LEAVE THE UNIVERSITY
NOW HE'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE "HORINO" COMPANY
TODAY AT TEN O'CLOCK WILL BE THE PRESENTATION
OF THE NEW DIRECTOR
An hour and a half has gone
and the deputy director is yet to speak.
We're tired and the director
hasn't begun.
I will follow the footsteps of my father.
Now you're the director you must maintain
a certain decorum.
I'm not able to keep such a grim expression as yours.
You must be imposing.
I like the new director.
If he asked me,
I'd willingly go out with him.
He wouldn't even look at you.
ONE YEAR LATER.
HIS FRIENDS ARE GRADUATING.
BUT THE DIRECTOR STILL HAS
A STUDENT'S TEMPERAMENT
Son, every day that passes
you look more and more like the director.
You're also growing older and older.
The friends from the university have come.
All right, let me begin:
is there a place for us in your company?
Other companies don't like us
because we're too good for them.
I understand why other companies don't like you.
Is there also no corner for us here?
