The mosquitoes are killin' me.

What happened?

Slammed a door on myself.

- There was a nail sticking out. - A nail, huh?

This'll hurt a little.

You call that a nail?

I won't bring you any trouble. It was just a stupid fight.

Ask for Matsunaga at the station market.

Everybody knows me.

# The hilltop we climbed together

# Had a view of the harbor

I hear you look after my guys.

Hey, Grandma.

Bring some mosquito repellent.

No such luck. She must have dozed off.

Damn, that hurts.

I'm warning you, I'm pretty pricey.

I make it a policy to rip off deadbeats.

Hey, don't you use any pain-killers?

Not for hoodlums like you.

Gimme something for my cold, too.

Can't seem to shake it.

Your high living substantially increases your risk of TB.

I'm hardly the type.

There's no type.

Don't kid yourself into thinking there is.

Athletes get it all the time. TB can creep up on anyone.

Trouble with TB is that you don't feel a thing.

By the time the fever and coughing start, it's too late.

You scared?

Scared?

You talking about me?

You're really full of yourself.

I hate doctors.

All you do is exaggerate to make more money.

Oh, yeah.

A doctor with five TB patients is riding a gravy train.

Okay, have a look then.

See if it's TB or not.

- But with what? - What?

It's pointless to use a stethoscope.

That's all mumbo jumbo.

Doctors only do that to look professional.

But I'm happy to set your mind at ease.

But if anything shows up in this exam, you've had it.

How am I?

Get some X-rays.

I asked you how I am.

I need to see an X-ray to be sure, but you've got a hole this size.

Ignore it and you won't last long.

I'll kick your ass if you're lying!

I'm not lying. Cut it out.

Liar!

You jerk, I'm not lying.

Idiot.

What's going on, doctor?

There's still hope for him.

Just the type to ignore TB. At least it bothers him.

Shows he's still a little human anyway.

Did you see that looker go in? Did you?

I've seen her before.

What's wrong?

Hey!

Get out of there! You'll catch typhus!

Who's scared of typhus?

You fools! Get out of there, now!

Who cares? You're just a drunk.

I said, get out!

You brats.

Hey, you came crying to me the other day with a bellyache.

I recognize that belly button.

You all better?

This water'll make you sick.

THE HAPPY MARKET

Doc.

Doc, we got some good stuff in.

Your sake's closer to gasoline than alcohol.

Oh, c'mon in.

Fool!

Slugging sake. I've had it with you.

Don't come back to me limping and crying anymore.

There's no fooling you, doc.

Take a sip and give me your diagnosis.

Well, I don't think it's lethal.

Well, now.

Damn.

I meant to ask him. - About what?

I'm lookin' for a Matsunaga.

One of those sharp-looking thugs women go for.

Kinda famous around here.

Sure, I know him. What do you want with him, doc?

I got something to tell him. Where can I find him?

He stays in the dance hall all day.

Over on the main drag?

What do they see in that bag of bones?

Hey, sister.

You stuck on him, too? - Not me.

Don't fall for a guy like that. Fall in love with someone like me.

I may be scruffy, but you get free medical care.

What's wrong? Feels awful heavy.

Is that 'cause you're packing?

Idiot.

Don't be mad.

You're not yourself today, like you're wasting away.

I don't like you this way.

I'm hot. Just can it.

Drinking just makes you hotter.

You stink of whiskey.

I said, shut up.

Hey, a doc's here to see you.

A doc?

From last night.

Bet he's up to something.

Start a fight.

What do you want?

Don't even think about blackmailing me.

What the hell?

You walk out on your bill, then pull the tough crap.

I'm not so broke I'd stiff you.

Pay me less, buy me a drink.

That might get expensive.

Don't act this way. Let's have a drink.

No booze in there. It's not allowed.

Liar, you reek of booze.

Smells good.

- You're a leech. - That's what they call you.

You've always got a line, huh?

Follow me.

Let's be friends. Have some of the good stuff.

About last night,

it was because of all that crap you told me.

I've never had a patient as rough as you.

Anyway, the dame that came in when I attacked you...

I've seen her somewhere before.

You're pretty smooth.

But keep your hands to yourself.

She's mine.

That's the real thing.

Come on, man. Tell me the truth.

Where'd you find her?

It's bugging me.

Not for you.

I'll drink yours for you.

With that hole in your chest,

drinking's suicide.

But never mind.

I did exaggerate a little before. You stick to my orders...

Cut the crap!

Why should I trust a quack like you?

Don't take my word, get an X-ray.

You trying to start a fight?

Screw the X-rays.

Go home, get out!

You fool.

It's your life. - For me to live or die.

It's none of your business.

You're absolutely right.

Who cares what happens to you?

But you see,

that TB bacteria inside you is my business.

I've got to kill as much as I can.

Of course death and cremation would do the job.

Asshole!

Idiot, how dare you?

Asshole!

Dammit, what does he know?

Like a lame horse. Might as well put him out of his misery.

I'm done with him.

You know it's no good.

What's no good?

With you,

once you've found a patient, you can't stop fussing about him.

I think you're being ridiculous.

The whole medical profession's ridiculous.

Doctors can't survive without patients.

But all we ever try to do is cure them.

No, you're the exception.

Don't be silly. I'm just doing my job.

But other doctors don't take it this seriously.

They're not doctors, they're flunkies.

But doctor, you're far too blunt about the truth.

I don't mean you should lie.

But there are lots of ways to give someone the bad news.

You made a terrible first impression on me.

You're always screaming at people.

Leave me be.

This dog's too old to learn new tricks.

Oh, my.
