old-fashioned, Mother
Old or new, men never change
Did you meet Sugiyama?
He was going to your place
Your underskirt's showing
Keep your mind on other things
What happen
I needed my things
Not this
What do you plan to do? He's leaving
About time you went home
It's foolish to be so jealous
Yes, you are
Sending him off alone?
You'd better go home
I won't
He's going away
Well, let him?
Marriage isn't like that
I know he feels he was wrong
Meet him halfway. Don't make it worse
Mother, a customer
Are you sure you're being wise?
I'll have another
Not overdoing it?
Feel great. One more, anyway
Welcome, good night
Welcome
He's leaving Monday
They say it's a Ionely place
So I hear
I came to say goodbye
I appreciate that
Hope to see Onodera on the way
Give him my regards
So you're finally going
Miura is dead. You leaving
It'll be Ionesome
Are you being transferred?
The firm where I worked...
It that so? A promotion?
No? That's fine anyway
This is where I'm employed
It's a very small company
But you're a very hard worker
I'm not so sure about that
I'm nearing the retirement age
How many years have you worked?
It's feel 31 years
I feel very tired
Big retirement pay
Hardly. That's the point
Hoped after retiring to open a small
stationery shop near a school
Thought I'd just relax
But the retirement allowance
won't be enough
That's what we got for waiting us
J ust disillusion and Ioneliness
I've worked 31 long years
To find life is just an empty dream
I remember when some of us
went to Hakone
Bus trouble at Oiso
It happened to be just in front of
ex-Minister Ikeda's mansion
The former Minister of Finance?
Yes, the renowned Seihin Ikeda
It's not too long since he died
But no one seems to be taking care of
the lawn or the plum trees
Badly run down
In the sun-room alone
I saw red bougainvillia blooming
What are they?
A kind of tropical flower
I made me feel sad
Seihin Ikeda was high up in Kitsui
Called him the "No.1 Salaried Man."
But that's how things are these days
It makes one think
Granted that there was a war
Like you say, life is ephemeral
That's why I strongly opposed
my son becoming a salaried man
Can't figure out the attraction
but he's an office worker now
Like father, like son... I guess
Well, it's goodbye for awhile
To your health
Thank you very much
Take care
Don't get sick
I'll have to stay put
If you have time come to tokyo
Maybe I can't coming
Not going to eat that?
Sure I will
You can take half of mine
This
It'll be Ionely when Sugi goes
Take good care of yourself
Let's sing that song once again
Sing it. Sing it
I'm sorry I'm late
Glad you came. Sit here
Here
Goodbye, Sugi
Thank you
When did all this happen?
Ten days ago
Haven't seen her since?
She refuses to see me
What started it?
I'm to blame
A woman?
Be good to your wife
You should see me nowadays
No one is as dependable as a wife
A company can be a cold thing
At my age, I feel that more and more
Young men are happy
Kawai said he used to row here
Yes, he was young too once
The springtime of life
Father
We'd better be going
Well, a mistake is a mistake
Things are bound to happen
J ust don't make me worry
I won't. I'm sorry
Mitsuishi in Okayama Prefecture
Hot, isn't it? How is it in Tokyo?
Tokyo's hot too
Mountains shut out the wind
Must be dull here after Tokyo
When did you come?
Before noon
Train crowded?
Somewhat. But I found a seat
My letter
I read it. Onodera wrote too
He told me to come here
Told me not to make things worse
And not suffer to be stubborn
It's a small town
I've already seen it
Three years here will be Ionely
It'll be good for both of us
I'm sorry. I really am
It was partly my fault too
Let's forget it
I don't know what happened
It's all over
Your landlady told me all you do is read
That's quite a change
There's nothing else to do here
It makes me happy to hear that
I'm glad I came
Let's start all
