jealousy?
Come on, hurry up.
I've become so fond of you.
What shall I do?
I'm leaving.
Please wait for me.
No time. I'll go on ahead.
When's next time?
Don't know.
You're mean.
Do you go often?
Of course I don't.
But a customer called Tsu-san
told me it was a sure thing,
betting 4-4 on the eighth race.
Put the soy sauce in yet?
Just a little.
No, that's too much.
Did you win?
Anyway, another horse won.
Sure? Not hiding your winnings?
No. I'd treat you if I'd won.
Does he stay out often?
Not often.
Then you needn't worry.
Can I take the pot off?
Yes, if it's started to boil.
He plays mah jong late but
he's usually home by now.
Your father was that way.
What's happened?
I wonder.
What about you?
Resting today.
-How nice for you.
-Not at all.
I need a rest once in a while.
I'm home.
There. Your husband's home.
Welcome back.
I'm all tired out. What a night.
Thought I'd drop in.
Had to come to Kawasaki.
I see.
Is Koichi studying hard?
Will you help him find a job?
But he hasn't graduated yet.
What a night.
What happened?
I went to see Miura.
He's in bad shape.
How so?
His mother's here from the country.
She cried and cried.
Just couldn't leave.
You stayed at Miura's?
No, at Kimura's. Miura's sick.
Kimura went with me.
More mah jong?
No, we didn't play mah jong.
Really?
We were too worried.
I'm going to the bath.
-Hey.
-What?
What's that for? Are you hungry?
Be right back.
I'll have a quick bath.
-You're staying, aren't you?
-I'll be back.
Please, make yourself at home.
Have a good bath.
Where was he?
Visited a sick friend.
See. Nothing more than that.
No need to worry.
Not a bit.
Yes, you are.
Well, let's eat. Supper. Supper.
One hot dog.
Playing hooky?
What do you mean? It's Saturday.
Were you late today?
No, I took an earlier train.
Goldfish with you?
Thought so!
-I was with Sugiyama.
-So?
Something's going on. Fishy.
What are you talking about?
Never noticed?
Sugi, Goldfish.
Suspicious. They never ride together.
Don't you see?
Like yesterday....
They avoid each other in public.
And act unconcerned.
What's wrong with that?
It's odd. Why don't they talk?
Like you and me?
I'd never be interested in you.
That's very rude.
Very well.
- Is there something more?
-Lots more.
-Tell me.
-No.
I'll have more milk.
Come on, tell me. Come on.
Why won't you tell me?
-Need the soap?
-No, thanks.
-Well, then, goodbye.
-Goodbye.
Acting funny.
What kind of man was she with?
Handsome. Like a movie actor.
They say he's a married man.
Really?
-Forgot this. Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
Weren't there rumors before?
All the time. It's nothing new.
A beautiful day.
Nice sky. A week's so long.
Hello.
Oh, hello. Come in.
I'm sorry. I forgot about this.
-Thank you so much.
-Don't mention it.
Your mother's a fine cook.
Thank you.
I put some cookies in it for you.
Isn't that nice.
I think they taste rather good.
-Shall I make some tea?
-Oh, don't trouble yourself.
Your husband.
He'll be late tonight.
He comes home early.
Unusually. It won't last.
The same with my husband.
In his younger days.
Until one day I discovered the reason.
What was it?
A woman. But my hunch was wrong.
She worked in a pool hall, not a cabaret.
He paid for her apartment.
One day I barged in.
There he was. Cutting up dried bonito.
Just then the woman came in.
She was carrying tofu.
Awful woman. Gold teeth.
What did you do?
I really made that tofu fly.
You must watch closely.
Mine never plays around now.
But that's the way he was.
Oh, he's back.
I wish he'd be late sometimes.
Always being early is a nuisance.
Yes, I'm coming.
Excuse me.
Where's yours?
War buddies reunion.
A bit anxious, aren't you?
You must be hungry.
I bought some salmon.
I've got some tofu.
Cut up some dried bonito.
Hey, drink up.
Let me pour for you.
Remember those Changhsien days?
We ate that dog meat sukiyaki.
Tasted good too, I remember.
Nothing finer
