Tosa, same as Ryama
BirthpIace of IoyaIists, and simpIetons
What'd you say?
That's what comes from boasting
What?
You're Iate
Took a bath first
Any Ieft? It's got meat?
Canned meat
Sugi's not here
Went somepIace
Is that so?
What?
Got it pIayins Pachinko
Pass it around
Pachinko crazed?
Not exactIy
But got to do something
I know. We're Iocked up aII day
In out jaiI
Commuting in packed trains
Yes-yesing a grouchy boss
SaIary never goes up
Bonus never comes out
Our soIe joy...noodIes
Eaten siIentIy
They're here
Sorry I'm Iate
Looks good. Give me some too
Didn't you come with Sugiyama?
No, I didn't
Where is he?
I don't know?
Very good, thank
CarefuI!
Or someone'II have to
buy you a new dress
No one wouId do that for me
No? I thought someone might
Don't be siIIy
Good
Won't Sugiyama buy
a dress for you?
Any reason why he shouId?
Seeing you two are so friendIy
Gossip Iinks you both
You and Sugi
Stop taIking nonsense
Any idea how such gossip began?
I don't know
You must know
buIIshit
What are you aII driving at?
Why was I invited
To eat noodIes
Don't Iie. TeII me the truth
You won't mind?
Why shouId I?
It's Iike this
Sugi has a wife
Listen
A thing Iike this can happen
I reaIize that
But is it a good thing?
Listen to me
Think what such a reIationship
must mean to the wife
What if you were the wife?
And came by?
How wouId you feeI?
It wouIdn't be very nice
That's the point
Try some seIf-criticism
That's what you Iack
It's something peopIe need
What proof do you have?
About me and Sugi?
TeII me frankIy
Ask your own conscience
Ashamed?
No
There's no smoke without fire
So what?
You were waIking with Sugi
Can't I do that?
It seems funny
You're the one who's funny
If you saw us, why didn't you
speak to us?
Not me. Hasegawa
TeII me
Two's company
What do you mean?
You're getting it aII wrong
You're prejudiced
Like somebody's mother-in-Iaw
I'II waIk with you. And you
So don't be too suspicious
It's too...too annoying
Are you men or not?
Cowards
I've been Iistening
You feIIows were unkind
No, she needs to be toId off
It's humanism
We are being
Didn't sound that way
That's not what you were
But can it be true?
I'm sure of it
The way she denied it though
A cooI fish, that GoIdfish
Which one made the first move?
GoIdfish?
ProbabIy Sugi
Yes, but if it's reaIIy true
Lucky Sugi, the rascaI
You know, I kind of envy him
This is fine
Quite a guy, that Sugi
Don't mix up humanism and envy
Because then it's not humanism
You're right
Thanks
Have I become very thin?
Lying in bed is so tiring
It must be
Sick 100 days aIready
In May that sky was Iight bIue
It was the Boys' FestivaI time
Midsummer cIouds up there now
Kimura came the other day
You intended coming then?
Something came up. I'm sorry
It's just that I keep thinking of my friends
Sure, I know
I envy heaIthy peopIe
I get fooIish thoughts
In the morning, I think about
the rush hour's packed train
Then I'm on the eIevator
It stops at the 7th fIoor
I go through the office door
Yokoi and Shiokawa are there
Shiokawa's stiII earIy?
He'II be retiring in October
Is that so?
Wonder if I'II be up by then
I'm so proud of the company
It was during a schooI excursion
that I first saw that buiIding
It was Iighted up, at twiIight
I feIt as if I had gone abroad
It surprised me
I dreamed about that buiIding
Later I entered a Tokyo schooI
You'd better not taIk so much
Don't worry. I feeI good today
It'II tire you out
When the company hired me
I was overjoyed
Bought a new suit risht then
I'II never forget that day
It'II be Iate, no
It was a nice bath
WouId you care for some fruit?
Don't bother
Miura's much better
Yes. It makes me very happy
He's hoping after he recovers
to find a house in a quiet spot
Wants me to Iive in Tokyo too
Why, that'II be very nice
It's about time he married too
I've picked out a country girI
Oh, mother, don't taIk so much
