here.
It's very good.
Do you like drinking, Father?
Indeed he does.
In the old days he used to get angry
when the sake ran out.
Even at midnight
he'd go out for more.
Every time a boy was born,
I prayed he wouldn't
become a drinker.
Did Shoji like to drink?
Yes, he did.
Really?
He'd go drinking after work,
and sometimes when it would get late,
he'd bring his drinking buddies
home with him.
Really?
Then you had
as much trouble as I did.
Yes.
But now I miss it.
Poor Shoji.
He lived so far from us.
I feel as if he were still alive
somewhere.
Father often scolds me
for my foolishness.
He must be dead.
It's eight years since...
I know, but...
He was such a willful boy.
I'm afraid he gave you trouble.
It seems he really caused you
some problems.
I hope it's good.
Please, Mother.
Help yourself.
They're late.
They'll be back soon.
How long will they stay in Tokyo?
Didn't they tell you?
Listen...
would you put up some money?
What for?
I'm putting some in too.
Two thousand yen or so,
maybe three.
Why?
What do you say to sending them
to the Atami Hot Springs?
You're busy, and I can't change
my work schedule either.
We can't always ask Noriko.
Not a bad idea.
I know a nice hotel.
Inexpensive, with a good view.
Good.
Let's do it, then.
I'm sure they'll like it.
Frankly, I was worried.
It costs money wherever we take them.
This is less expensive.
And there's the hot springs too.
What are you talking about?
We're planning to send
Father and Mother to Atami.
Good idea.
I've been worried about them too,
but I'm really busy.
What do you think?
Good.
I agree.
Let's do it.
We can't do anything for them here.
Right. Atami's the place.
They can enjoy the baths and rest.
An old couple would like that better
than walking around Tokyo.
That's right.
My, they're late.
Maybe they're at Noriko's.
Probably.
I've never been able to come to a spa.
We've cost them more money.
Doesn't it feel nice here?
Let's get up early in the morning
and take a walk along the beach.
Good.
There must be many good views.
A maid here told me so.
Really?
The sea is so quiet.
- Thank you for waiting.
- The noodles are ready.
- Oh, so you had that piece.
- Ouch, that hurt.
Discard.
There it is.
- I'll take that one.
- Ready.
- Ready?
- You discarded this one, right?
- Yeah, I did.
How do you like that, idiot?
That makes 1632.
He beat us.
It's awfully lively.
What time is it now?
What's the matter?
It's because
you didn't sleep well last night.
No, but you did.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
You did. You snored.
Really?
Anyway, this place is meant
for the younger generation.
That's true.
Those newlyweds last night.
Do you believe
they're really newlyweds?
This morning she was smoking in bed
after he got up.
He's an idiot.
He said, ''You belong to me.
Your ears, eyes, mouth --
All of you is mine.''
Who knew what belongs to who?
I wonder what Kyoko
is doing at home now.
Let's go back home.
You must be homesick already.
You're the one
who really wants to go home.
We've seen Tokyo.
We've seen Atami.
Let's go home.
Yes.
What's the matter?
I felt a bit dizzy.
I'm all right now.
You didn't sleep well.
That's why.
Shall we try the upsweep?
I'm sure it would become you.
You have a good neckline.
Make the left side tight
and add a fluffy wave on this side.
Maybe next time I'll try that.
It would be very stylish.
Get me another magazine
and matches.
Welcome back.
Why, you're back so soon.
You should've stayed longer!
We're home.
Who are they?
Oh, just friends from the country.
Drink up, for old time's sake.
I haven't drunk for a long time.
You used to be a real drinker.
Remember the governor's visit
to Onomichi?
At Takemuraya?
You got drunk.
That young geisha who served --
Umeko?
You liked her, didn't you?
And the governor happened
to like her too, remember?
You liked her too, eh?
Oh, the fool I've always
made of myself by
