expect
when he eloped...
...with a girl like this?
I mean it.
I'm disappointed in him
But, darling...
...I'm sure he'll come back
He's not a bad boy
He'll come back
Think so?
You think he'll come home?
What if he won't?
I know, yes...
...I know
But young people today
are so rash and reckless
He'll come back
He's bound to come
Listen
When he comes home,
why don't you settle down?
Darling, tell Kiyoshi the truth
He's old enough to understand
He'll find out one day
He's bound to find out in the end
Had we told him before,
this wouldn't have happened
Please. Tell him everything
I beg you to. Tell him
And make this place my home?
I wish you would
- Shall we?
- Will you?
Thank you. Very much!
He'll be delighted
But...
...where can he be now?
Do you want a drink?
- Why not?
- I'll make it hot
Here he is!
Where have you been?
Answer her
I want you to meet someone
What is it?
Why, you!
How dare you show up here?
You fool!
I'm sorry, Master
I'm the one who's sorry. You slut!
Don't, Uncle
She's apologizing
What?
How dare you
worry Mother like this?
Don't scold him so
Shut up!
They're gluttons for punishment!
- Slut!
- Stop, Uncle
Don't! Please!
Stop!
- What?
- What!
Do you know who this is?
He's your father. Your real father
Apologize to him!
I see. Just...
...as I thought
Mother...
...you told me my father had died
when I was a baby
I believed it. I still believe it
I don't want a father at all
Not in my life
Listen...
...he didn't want you to know...
...that you were
an itinerant player's son
How come? Why?
He wanted you to study hard...
...and become somebody
So he worked hard...
...and remitted
your schooling expenses
That's enough
- Stop it
- But...
Say, Uncle...
...why show up all of a sudden?
Mother. Tell me that now?
You two are selfish
I don't want a father
Go away
Out with you!
Get going!
Forgive me
I knew nothing about it
I'm afraid he's right
Very natural, too
One can't suddenly
show up out of nowhere...
...and exert parental authority
But, darling...
...why talk like that?
On second thought,
I decided not to settle down
It would be better...
...much better for us all
But Kiyoshi isn't
mad at you any longer
You see...
...I'm going to turn a new leaf
Let me part tonight
as his uncle, as before
Next time I come back here...
...I'll be a good actor
he can be proud of
Let me look forward to such a day
Yes, such a day will come
But, darling...
Then celebrate my success
and rejoice for me
Master
Take me with you
I'll work hard to help you
I can't part with you like this!
Please
Master, I'm begging you...
...take me with you
Please!
Did you hear her?
Very pathetic of her
Be good enough
to look after her as well
I'm sorry I scolded you
Forgive me
Help Kiyoshi to make good
I'm counting on you
You understand? Oblige me
Kiyoshi!
Kiyoshi!
Kiyoshi!
Kiyoshi! The Master!
Go see him!
Hurry up!
See him! Hurry up!
Will you hurry!
Where's Uncle? Where is he?
What's happened to Uncle?
Your father?
He's left for the road
Kiyoshi!
Don't stop him
Leave him alone
Each time Father
came to this town...
...since you were a baby...
...he left this place
with such a sentiment
It's all right...
...only if you can become
somebody in life
Where are you going, Master?
Give me a light
Tell me...
...where are you going?
I'm at a loss where to go now
Do you have a plan?
You do? Tell me
Where are you going?
Kuwana Town
Which impresario?
Mr. Kaneyoshi may
give me a chance, I think
Good!
Can I go with you?
I happen to know
Mr. Kaneyoshi very well
You don't want me to go with you?
I'm taking a chance
Shall we try?
Yes, let's try. Good idea
Shall we?
Sure. Yes, let's try
Very good!
Two tickets to Kuwana
Don't forget your baggage
How do you like it?
