guess not.
Why didn't you say so?
I'm sorry.
There she is. Karo's back.
What is it?
You're Umeko?
Remember me?
I'm Hiram, your father's friend.
Anyway, sit down.
You've changed a lot.
I haven't seen you in a while.
- That's true.
- How have you been?
Did you hear from Father
that I was working here?
I wanted to check up on you.
I don't need any advice.
I want to be left alone.
It's nothing like that.
How about it? I would like
to talk to you in private.
What about?
It's nothing to worry about.
Do you know of anyplace?
I can't leave right now.
That's fine. It can be after
you've finished here.
What do you say?
Mr. Condo, you're awfully quiet.
What is it? What's the matter?
What is it?
Don't act so familiar.
He's my boss.
A chance for you to drink.
Hardly.
Another one?
No more tonight.
Don't stay here.
Go away.
You're such a chicken.
What did you say? Watch your mouth.
I'll get even with you.
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
Give me some dumplings.
Thank you.
So you two get off work
around this time?
Yes, he'll be coming here soon.
We always go home together.
So you said he plays music
at a cabaret?
Yes, he plays the piano.
He specializes in music theory.
So, what do you think of your father?
My father?
I do feel sorry for him.
But he's so stubborn.
Stubborn?
He doesn't understand.
Not at all.
Not at all?
He doesn't even try to understand.
He thinks he's always right.
You think so?
I wonder.
It's true.
Father has to have
everything his own way.
You exaggerate.
It's true.
It's because he worries about you.
He doesn't have to worry.
Things don't work that way.
What about you? Are you happy?
Me?
Yes, I am.
I don't think I'm unfortunate at all.
There he is.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Magnum.
It's getting late, so we better get going.
I guess it is.
Excuse us.
Just a moment.
Here's some spending money.
I can't accept that.
It isn't much.
No, really. Excuse me.
Welcome home.
Where were you?
Saw Miami's daughter.
Oh, Fumiko. How was she?
She seems to be doing fine.
But it can be hard.
Did Setsuko stay at home today?
Yes, but what are we
going to do about her?
Leave her alone for a while.
She might change her mind.
Are you still awake?
I couldn't get to sleep.
Setsuko.
Surely you...
What is it?
Surely you haven't slept with that fellow?
Father.
You should know me better than that.
He isn't that kind of a man.
Let her think it over.
Tell her not to go to work.
She can even quit.
Watch her closely, and don't let her out.
I won't permit such loose conduct.
Nor a wedding.
Do you understand?
Nightgown.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Mr. Kondo, you were so quiet
the other day.
You don't know how awkward it was.
You were sweating.
This place needs air conditioning.
- So, what are you having?
- Highball, with water.
Same brand as before?
No way I'm drinking that expensive stuff.
The usual, normal, domestic,
cheap brand is fine.
Drink the expensive kind with your boss.
Nonsense. He won't come here again.
Thank God.
Hey, Kaoru.
Your father, Mr. Mikami,
how does he know my boss?
They're friends from middle school.
What does he do?
- He's in the printing industry.
- He came to see my boss yesterday.
Did they say anything?
They were just chatting.
I wasn't in the room long.
Here you are.
This tastes good!
It tastes better when I pay,
regardless of how cheap it is.
Hey, where are the peanuts?
You seem to be in a good mood.
Of course. The other night
was just an exception.
Where's my peanuts? Don't be stingy.
Keep acting like that
and your boss might come.
Don't be foolish. He won't come.
He has no business
in a dump like this.
Peanuts!
Thank you for the other day.
Welcome.
Hey. I didn't know you were here.
You seem like a regular.
Your father came by yesterday.
He didn't know the address
of your apartment or the bar...
...so he asked me to give you this.
He wants to see you.
You should see him.
It wouldn't do any
