best.
It's the rebellious period
So much like their father in funny ways
What?
So very stubborn
They took afteryou
That's not true
I wonder
What is it?
What is it?
-What is it?
What do you think?
I wonder. Any idea?
No
What is it?
A building? A big house?
The Federal building?
A temple? A hospital?
No?
Oh, school?
School? What about school?
It's on fire?
Not a fire? It's not a fire?
Drink tea? Then what?
Drink tea, then eat?
Money? It's money?
The firemen put out the fire,
you gave them tea and you paid them
What?
-What is it?
Do you know?
No, I don't. What is it about?
What is it?
I wonder
He's good
Sure. He works
for the gas company
Minoru's good too
but now he won't talk
Not even at school
Why won't you talk?
It's pretty inconvenient, right?
What's the matter?
Did you make a vow?
What is it?
Fools
Still eating pumice powder?
Keep it up.
You'll die ofa stomach full ofstones
Really?
-Yes
That seal that died at the zoo?
It was full ofstones
It thought the stones
the visitors threw were food
Who is it?
Hello.
-It's you? What is it?
You're here, boys?
Why don't you come and watch TV?
Any vacant rooms here?
I don't think so.
Ask downstairs
Do you know ofany somewhere else?
I don't know. For who?
Me. I want to move.
The neighbors are such a nuisance
Don't you know any place?
You're not kind, are you?
Good-bye
Yes?
It's you?
Hello
You're here?
I have another translation
That other work was okay?
I'll come for it in 4 or 5 days
I see. The work's a great help
Thanks
What happened? They won't talk
They were scolded
for talking too much
so they won't talk
That's interesting
What did you say?
Say, Isamu
What happened?
They said grownups
talk too much too
Good morning. Good evening.
Good day. A fine day
I see. It's true
We all say that
Yes, we do.
But maybe it's necessary
It'd be a boring world
ifwe didn't
Yes, but the children
don't understand yet
No, they wouldn't know that yet
But isn't it necessary
in our world?
I think so
Say, Isamu.
What are you mad about?
Is that so? I see
Is it?
Have a drink
-Is it too much?
-No, no. Not at all
Never mind
Drinking, smoking
are a waste oftime too
but why worry?
That's all right
I know how the kids feel
when they askyou to buy it
I'd like one too,
but can't afford it
That's not the problem.
I'm against buying one
Someone said TV would produce
100 million idiots
Is that so? What does that mean?
It means all Japanese will become idiots
That would be pretty terrible
But what does it really mean?
What do you think about it?
What?
-About television?
Television?
The 100 million idiots?
You knew?
-Yes. TV sets are a nuisance
Think so too?
You don't say
Too many conveniences
are no good?
You're right.
-It's a problem
I'm back
Come to visit us, son?
I'm glad you came. Good boy
You're back?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Hayashi
My wife's out?
Thanks for housesitting
Your home's next door
Sorry, sorry
Shall I help you?
No, I'm all right
I'm back
I feel good
You drank again?
Right this time! My own home!
I feel good
Feeling good! The idea!
I feel good. Shut up
It feels good
Listen, are you through?
Not yet
The truck?
It'll come around 3.
Hurry
Are you hurrying? What are
you doing?
Next door is moving, I think
I see. Neighbors here are a pain
I feel like moving out too
Neighbors everywhere
-Unless you live in the mountains
-True
Do mice gnaw on pumice stone?
I don't think they do
No. But it's going fast
Shall I rub rat poison on it?
I'm hungry.
No snacks for a long time now
We won't die? Let's not eat
pumice stones any more
We're not so full ofstones yet?
Excuse me
Excuse me
-It's our teacher!
-What'll we do?
Come!
Is that so?
I scolded them
for talking too much
I see. It's all right
since I know now
Isamu won't talk either
I'm sorry we troubled you
Raising children is very hard
Please use Spartan methods
We don't mind.
-No, I'm
