Production: Fujimoto Masami Naruse Mikio

Screenplay: Ide Toshiro Matusyama Zenzo

- Are you ready? - Yes.

She is beautiful...

All Japanese woman look beautiful to you.

Miyako!

Thank you.

Look, Mr. Sonoda!

It was so quick!...

They're coming!

Who are they?

- Come here beauties! - Show us how good swimmers you are!

- Who are they? - They are hooligans.

Give it to me!

It blew off!

- What were you looking at? - Now I can die...

- Oops, it is shrinking! - You didn't put the stopper correctly.

- You see!? - Told you!

Now, it's all right.

Number 2, 3, 5 are fakes.

- How much you bet? - Next round of drinks.

So you believe they can't swim?

Let's show them! One, two, three!

- I'm home. - Hello.

Dad said he would be late tonight.

I can't believe he spend all his time in Machiai!

Aunt, now we don't call it Machiai anymore.

It's the same thing anyway.

Now, that you too are going out with that girl you are becoming vulgar.

But we've been friends since school!

This soup should be warm, like miso ?

You have no right to talk about cooking. You have no experience.

What can I talk to you about?

I am not much of a speaker...

Today, I went to an arranged date.

How was the man?

He has just returned from the US.

He is nice and handsome, and he has a bright future ahead.

He is perfect then.

But he is boring.

- What do you mean? - It's the feeling I had.

Woman can dislike a guy just by the way he eats a soup.

You scare me...

I cannot eat anymore.

Beniko-san has scored again!

But at the end the man will dump her.

I don't understand why she keeps trying...

What's wrong with that? It's a free world!

Don't you think so?

Yes, at least at Ginza, in Tokyo. Everywhere, men and women are...

My poor heart feels so cold after the bath.

Don't worry. It'll just take another bath to fix that...

We are sorry, but this table is reserved.

Listen, could you come with me later?

Again? That guy in Otomo?

I don't know why you like him.

He is so special.

He is handsome, he has a nice body, and he is a hard worker...

.. and he has deli... deli...

Delicacy.

When I think of him, I feel so happy.

All right.

If you pay for all of us, we can come with you.

That's a good idea!

Anyway, I'll have something now.

I'll pay for you.

I don't have much. 30 yen for each of us.

- 30 yen? - Yes.

Then we can only have milk or soft drinks!

Thank you very much.

Tell me, is he the right one this time?

He is so nice,

he will get a divorce from his wife before autumn.

What is he doing?

He runs a handbag shop in Yokoyama-cho and he is so nice.

You always say: "He is nice", but you trust guys too easily.

This and this.

Put it in here.

To look nice, color is very important.

This one is a bit less vivid.

- Takiguchi-san, did you do it all alone? - Yes.

- This one, too. - It's so nice!

It would look very good on you Miss Akemi.

Color and pattern are so nice, but the price is not so nice...

You're kidding.

This one would go with miss Mari.

It suits you very well!

No, it looks too much Rockabilly.

Takiguchi-san. You haven't shown me anything yet...

Don't get angry..

But...

Well... your taste is difficult.

I understand.

Please, choose something for her.

She will take anything you recommend.

Don't say that!

- Let's go! - Time to go to work.

Right so!

We'll come back when we have more time.

Don't be in such a hurry...

C'mon...

Just 10 more minutes!

I paid for you today And it's not polite to leave without buying anything.

It's all right!

But... it's not nice.

Even if you order something, he will have to make you credit.

Today is my payday I can buy with cash.

Takiguchi-san, show me something.

Yes, thank you very much.

Hello.

This is Shichifuku.

Ah, Ichihana.

Chiharu-san... perfume and soap...

What about your brother and his studies?

Then he goes to the market in Yokohama in the morning.

But, it's better if he finishes high school.

He is so nice, your brother.

Do you think so?

And then for Kintaro...

A dress from Paris and cashmere powder...

So it's 2,830 yen.

I'll give you a discount... 2,800 yen...

30 yen!?

- Make a little effort! - No!

I've just made your brother a small compliment!

Komachi is... Colgate, Teeth brush and...

You owe 380 yen.

- 300 is all right? - No way!

It's not nice, isn't it?

- Yumi-chan, Can you help me? - Yes!

Hello!

- I brought you the salaries. - Thank you.

Kintaro, you pay me back today, right?

I can't.

Last month, I paid for my parents' house because of the tsunami.

This month, I spent too much. Please wait a little more...

Well... tsunami...

You seemed to be very busy at Fugetsu.

Yes, we say you...

You wanted to show your guy, right?

No, it was not so!

If you want us to keep it secret, give us another story.

We remember that we saw the "truth".

All right. I'll give you a discount.

Well... Beniko is...

I'll give you a discount.

- That is very good. - But I want you to pay me.

Kintaro... you owe a lot.

What will you do?

I have to pay 20,000 yen.

And what about me?

The car is outside.

Here you go.

I'm ready.

You're expected at Fujimura at 06:00.

- Ruiko. You go at Fujimura at 07:00. - Yes.

Your shift ends at 8:00 pm.

- Then, I'm going. - Bye, now.

The dog is more important for her than her job.

Certainly, you could sell a puppy for 20,000 yen.

- 20,000 yen for one puppy? - Yes.

- I'll start selling dogs. - We are not in a pet shop.

- Good evening. Sorry for being late. - Ichihana-san.

Go to the Moon Salon, it's Nakamura sensei 's party.

Thanks.

Why don't you go to the guests yourself?

Cooking is what I am here for. If they like it, it's enough for me.

But, they gave you some tips.

You should thank them.

I don't understand you... Think about me and my situation.

This way, please.

Times have changed. Now, young girls dance geisha dances.

You mean young women can't dance?

For that, they should become geisha.

This one?

This one is the Showa foundry; they asked to pay in three installments.

Showa foundry?

Their accountant looked just like a street seller.

- Thank you very much. - Not at all.

- What did he say? - He said you are pretty.

Here is your pay.

- Thank you very much. - I thank you.

Would you like to take a break for a few days?

There is a golf tournament in Nasu. What do you think?

It's not possible.

- Why not? - Because!

Everybody thinks there is something between us.

It's a pity they are mistaken.

I'm too old, and with a daughter like Miyako...

.. it's better to have a steady job and a salary.

Are you going to quit? You are not so old.

But my time has gone.

It's not by splitting up that you'll make more money.

Even I don't think this is the issue.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Please, think it over.

I don't want to marry again. It's so troublesome at our age.

I'm old enough to stay away from useless problems.

You can find a younger and nicer woman.
