in France at the time.
- What?
- Women are all the same.
- Not at all!
- Of course they are.
Even if they might look proud,
they're all still waiting
to be kissed.
- I wasn't waiting for anything.
- Of course you were.
- You all do it.
- Really?
Another round.
- Come on.
- Coming!
- How did it go?
- I was unlucky the other day.
What do you think of this sakй?
It's a new brand.
Good, isn't it?
- I prefer the other one.
- Well...
- Here.
- Thanks.
- Do you like cats?
- Yes.
I hate them. They're selfish
and ungrateful.
Dogs are loyal.
I like dogs.
I like cats for those reasons.
You're very strange.
- I like you too.
- Don't say that!
I'm grateful.
Are you?
- Are you grateful?
- Well, yes!
All right, I'll kiss you.
What are you saying?
Are you mad?
He's got a beautiful wife.
I'll tell her.
- There's also a young girl.
- Yes.
- Is she her sister?
- Yes
- They're very beautiful.
- She's too good for you.
Seriously?
Too good?
Of course she is.
Too good, eh?
.
You can go home.
Yes?
- Mieko is not coming tonight.
- Are you also going home?
No, not yet.
All right.
- Here's the key.
- Fine.
- Good night.
- Thank you.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.
Hello.
Good evening.
I knew you'd come tonight.
I read the letter you
sent Mariko.
I arrived this morning.
How are you?
Fine, thanks.
I didn't get to see you when
you were in Kyoto.
I was very disappointed.
I was talking with your
father yesterday.
You're very kind to him.
He should be very pleased.
Sit down.
- It's been a long time.
- Very long.
- You haven't changed a bit.
- Really?
Six or seven years.
The last time we saw each
other was in Yokohama.
When I returned from France.
You haven't changed at all, Setsuko.
Really? It's you that
hasn't changed.
You still have that habit.
This one?
You always said that.
- I see you're still wearing that ring.
- Yes.
You said that I was too
young for the ring.
Now I'm old.
My mother died at my age.
Excuse me, I'll get you
something to drink.
Thanks.
- Isn't Mariko here?
- She's stopped working here.
Why?
- Do you like beer?
- Yes.
Have you acquired the
habit of drinking?
Yes.
You used to get drunk very easily.
I'm glad to have seen
you tonight.
And don't worry,
I'll finance you.
No, it's too much to ask.
Don't worry, I can help you.
Send my regards to Mimura.
Goodbye.
Hello, welcome.
Thank you.
I'm glad to see you.
When did you get here?
Half an hour ago.
Did you go to the bar?
- Yes, and you weren't there.
- I went to the ballet.
Really?
How long will you stay?
- Don't know, a few days.
- I'd like to go out and have some fun.
- Let's go out, then.
I'm broke. Will you invite me?
- Sure, of course.
- OK, great!
- Welcome, sir.
- Hello.
There was a call for you
just after you left.
- Who was it?
- From Hakone.
- From Hakone?
- Yes.
It was a lady named Mashita.
She said she'd call back.
All right.
Who's that Mrs. Mashita?
It's Yoriko, right?
Yes.
And why is Yoriko in Hakone?
- I know everything.
- What do you know?
Your meeting with Yoriko
in Hakone.
- I'm not going.
- Really?
- Really.
- Are you serious?
I am serious.
I know everything.
You must have a date with her.
- "He mistrusts her."
- You're mistaken.
- "But she doesn't believe him."
- Do you want one?
"He tries to bribe her."
"She almost accepts the bribe,
but a cigarette is not enough."
And what then?
"It's hard to say."
You're impossible.
"He doesn't know how to hide the fact."
I'm not hiding anything.
- Really?
- Really.
Are you serious?
Phone.
- Yes, I'll get it!
- Mariko...
Yes?
Yes?
Yes.
It's Yoriko.
Yes.
Yes, Mr. Tashiro returned,
but he's left again.
What's that?
Yes, he said he was going
to Karuizawa with a client.
Come on, Mariko!
Yes, that's it.
He didn't leave any message.
Yes.
Yes. I'll tell him you called again.
That's that.
Mariko, it could have
been a business call.
If it had
