have your dreams.
But a free life....
Mine's not that different.
I'm a salaried man.
The public pays my wages.
You should stay here tonight.
I'll stay at Sugiyama's tonight.
I see.
Well, anyway, the world today
isn't very interesting.
Everyone's dissatisfied.
You ought to try to have a good time.
You're right.
That's the only way.
I guess that's just about it.
I've made the bed for you.
Thanks for all your trouble.
Pitcher there?
Tomorrow....
What about you?
I take the 8:28 train.
I'll leave then.
Better not hit the rush hour.
There's no reason to rush.
There's no use going so early.
I'd like to wander around a bit.
Good night, then.
Good night.
Wake me up in time.
Yes. Good night.
He hasn't changed a bit.
A few more gray hairs.
Hand me that.
We're going hiking Sunday.
Want to join us?
-Where?
-From Enoshima.
Shall l?
Pinko and Patty are going.
And Goldfish.
Why is she called that?
She's very pretty.
It's her big eyes.
Affectionate too.
Best seen from afar.
That's mean.
Wait just a little more.
For what?
I have to finish washing the rice.
Well, hurry up.
He won't be cold?
Don't worry.
Hey! Let's take a rest.
We just rested a little while ago.
Where are we going to eat?
He's a nuisance.
He ate five rolls at the last rest.
Are we there yet?
Leave him alone.
Come on. Hurry.
Those two are way behind.
They ate their lunch back there.
Where's the wife?
At her mother's.
Should have come.
Hiking's no fun.
Why not? I feel good.
Not me. I'll never come again.
You said that last time.
Oh, a truck. Let's hitch a ride.
Do you think they'll stop?
Can we hitch a ride?
We'll be waiting up ahead.
A nice day. Why didn't you go?
With your hubby?
It seemed like a waste of money.
Did our landlord complain?
No, he didn't say anything.
But it's bad.
Yes, I know.
The rent there is so very cheap.
I know.
You should pay more promptly.
It's my husband's fault.
Well! And you chose each other.
No more loans.
You might take some oden home.
I won't.
Sugiyama ate a lot here in the old days.
He must like it.
That's because he was broke.
It's fixed, Mother.
Thank you.
Miko having kittens?
So it seems.
What about your place?
What?
Any more babies coming?
Don't want any.
Don't you feel a bit lonely?
I'm used to it.
That child would be in school by now.
Oh, stop it, Mother.
Where's Ko?
He has a part-time job Sundays.
Well, that's good.
Jobs are scarce for graduates.
I'm worrying about Koichi.
Just lying after graduating.
Ask Sugiyama about a job.
So much worrying.
I'm just a bundle of worries.
Has Sugiyama gotten a raise?
It's hard to get a 1,000 yen raise.
No electric cushion for me then.
You won't need it. It's warm out.
Well, I'm going.
Sure you won't take anything?
Maybe I will.
Just a little.
Don't forget to put in the mustard.
All right.
I'll put in lots. It's delicious today.
Why all the smiles?
-What?
-Why are you so happy?
Well, now, I really wonder why.
Don't be silly.
How about lunch together.
No, I can't today.
Why not?
No reason. Just because....
You're acting strange.
I'm suspicious.
Here you go.
I met Kanten this morning.
So nasty.
Why?
Jealous about that hiking trip.
Our truck ride.
Let him be.
It's so silly. Nothing happened.
Nothing could have.
Well.
Of course not.
Then why is he so jealous?
Someday we two might....
Maybe.
-Staying at your brother's place?
-At my sister's.
She's so fond of her husband.
Mustn't be jealous.
If you stay out--
They'll scold, but I don't care.
What happens when you're late?
She complains a little.
Afraid? Of the wife?
Afraid.
It's better to be that way.
This iron's no good.
Falling apart. We can't fix it.
Buy a new one.
I would if I could. But it's still usable.
Still usable. That sounds sad.
More work today?
No, I can go straight home now.
The pillow case is torn.
Just leave it. Drink some tea.
You can do what you want. I envy you.
All by yourself.
