But knowing he was leaving
made me realize how I felt.
You'll return in no time.
Yes, time flies.
We've lived here 16 years already.
That's right.
It was spring
and Noriko had just turned 12.
She was just a little older
than Minoru is now.
She used to wear a ribbon in her hair,
and she was always singing.
She was so cute.
Children grow up so quickly.
And what will you do now?
I'll start a practice here.
And the hospital?
I plan to keep
working there evenings.
I see.
We're parting ways,
but we'll be together again.
I wish we could live together forever,
but that's impossible.
Father and Mother, please come
visit us now and then from Yamato.
I'm sorry.
I've broken up the family.
It's not your fault.
It was inevitable.
Noriko, please take care of yourself.
I hear Akita is very cold.
Yes, be sure to take care
and keep healthy.
Then we'll be sure to meet again.
Look there.
A bride is passing by.
I wonder what sort of family
she's marrying into.
I wonder how Noriko is.
Our family has been scattered.
But we've done better than average.
We've experienced a lot
in our years together.
We shouldn't ask for too much.
We've been really happy.Breakfast, Granpa
Come on!
I told him
Put it on the table
Thanks
Isamu up?
Isamu, come quickly!
Wash your face
No! Your face's dirty!
Hurry up!
I did. The towel's wet, go and see
Will you mail it?
Chew well
You're early
I've a very sick patient
I'll bring Uncle
Goodbye
You've got to be hurry
Will you come?
I'll come with Noriko
Hurry, Isamu
What food does Uncle like?
You needn't bother, but he likes beans
Me too
Eat quickly
You're slow
Goodbye
See you at 5:30
You'll be late
Don't forget Father's letter
What are you doing?
Goodbye!
Got everything?
Good morning!
Your brother?
The last train
A serious case?
Yes
I stayed late last night
Your book's amusing
Volume 4
Now you're clean
Here's a reward
Love Granpa?
Very much?
Yes, very much
I love you
I love you
That's all
I hate you
I hate you
We've got an order
That's new order
How about Asahi?
Still pending
Know a good coffee shop?
I'd recommend ''Luna'' on the Ginza
It's not bad
Did you see the boss?
It's all right
Ah, restaurant director!
Busy as always?
That means your business is good
What happened after that?
It was bad. Mr. Yada sang again
What a shame!
My mother became sick
That old witch never dies
Hear Chako is getting married?
No! With who?
Mr. Tsumura. You know him?
A college basketball coach
Are they in love?
Yes, she's in love
Two jealous old maids
who are not yet married!
This is for your bill
Thank you, sir
I'm going out
Mr. Roberts' call
To see Mr. Roberts at his hotel
Give me a ride?
I'm going home
Come later?
Not today
Alright, goodbye
Goodbye
Restaurant Takigawa
What's this?
Have a drink
Drink more?
I like beer. Try it?
Only a bit
You needn't drink too much
What's funny?
Your nature!
You're always like that with everything
No use trying too much
Etiquette!
Is it good?
You say etiquette...
...expecting men to be kind to women
You're mistaken
Both men and women
should respect each other
That's what etiquette means
Oh, you know that
Very well
Some rice?
It's deplorable...
...that women have become impudent
That's not true
We're normal now
Men were too important
That's why you can't marry
Not that I can't, but I won't
I can marry at any time if I want
Don't marry a doctor
What women!
I think you must hurry
It's nearly the time
He's coming on the 9:45 train...
Still has time
When did he come last?
In 1946
The station was so crowded
Yes, just after the war
He's healthy
Soft and good!
I remember this painting
What happened to the other one?
The smaller one?
I sold it
This is fine
The prices have risen. Times are bad
Work on Sunday?
Doctors must
Shall I get some food?
But Uncle can't eat everything
Bye, Dad!
Take it to Uncle
All right?
Have tea, Uncle
How old are
