all.
No, I suppose I don't.
Why didn't you just tell me that?
I apologise.
She's right here.
Are you looking for me?
- Are you Fumiko?
- Yes.
Do you remember me?
I'm Hirayama, a friend of your father.
Let's have a seat.
It's been a while since I've last seen you.
Indeed.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Did my father tell you I was working here?
Yes, and I was curious how you were doing.
Well, I don't need advice.
I just want to be left alone.
No, I didn't come here for that.
Can we talk somewhere more private?
What do you want to talk about?
Well, can't we talk anywhere more private?
I can't leave right now.
I understand.
I'll wait until you finish your shift.
Is that okay?
Where's your usual liveliness?
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Don't act so familiar. That man's my boss.
Then you can drink all you want.
It's not like that.
Want another one?
Not tonight.
Don't stand here. Go away.
You're such a scaredy-cat.
Come again? I'll get you for this.
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- You!
- Yes!
Thank you.
Do you always wait for him
around this time?
He'll be here soon.
We always go home together.
He's a nightclub musician?
Yes.
He's a pianist. In school, he studied music.
I see. What do you think of your father?
My father?
I feel sorry for him,
but he's just so stubborn.
Stubborn?
He's just so stuck in his ways.
Too much so.
Too much so?
He thinks his way is the only way.
Really? Is that what you think?
Yes, it is.
Father has to have everything his way.
- Surely you're exaggerating.
- No, it's the truth.
Maybe it's because he worries about you.
He shouldn't.
He's your father. What about you?
Are you happy?
Me?
Yes.
I'm happy.
I don't see myself as unfortunate at all.
I see.
Welcome.
He's here.
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome!
- This is...
- I'm Naganuma. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Hello. How do you do?
It's getting late. We'll head home.
Fine. Thank you for coming.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Hold on.
- Yes?
Here's some spending money.
I can't take this.
It isn't much.
I just can't. I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Come again.
Welcome home.
Where were you tonight?
I went to see Mikami's daughter.
Fumiko? Is there something wrong?
She's managing somehow, but it's not right.
Did Setsuko stay home today?
Yes, what are we going to do about her?
Leave her alone for a while.
Soon, she'll realise what she's asking.
Are you still up?
Yes, I couldn't sleep.
Setsuko!
Did you...
What?
Did you sleep with him?
Father, you should have more trust in me.
He's not that kind of man.
Tell her to think it over.
Tell her not to go to work.
She can even leave her job.
Keep an eye on her. Don't let her go out.
I will not allow this kind of behaviour,
or a wedding.
You understand?
Nightgown.
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
Why were you so quiet the other night?
Do you know how nervous I was?
You were sweating like a pig.
This place needs air conditioning.
- Kondo, what would you like?
- A highball, with water.
- Same as last time?
- I can't afford a brand like that.
My usual brand, please. Cheap.
Not that expensive stuff.
- Right?
- Right, let your boss treat you to that.
He won't come here again.
Kaoru.
How does your father know my boss?
They went to high school together.
What does he do now?
- He works for a printing company.
- He came to see my boss yesterday.
Really? Did you hear anything?
I'm not sure.
I wasn't in the room for very long.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Now, that tastes good!
It tastes so much better when I pay for it
myself, even if it is the cheap stuff.
Get me some peanuts.
You're much livelier tonight.
Of course.
Last night was an exception.
Where are my peanuts? Don't be so stingy.
If you get pompous,
your boss might come back.
Don't scare me like that.
He won't come back to a dump like this.
Give me my peanuts!
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- Welcome and thank you for the other night.
- Not at all.
Welcome.
Hello. You're here
