Games (遊び)

Name: Asobi.

Why did you come here?

I've something to discuss with you.

Asking for money? - Yes.

Can you give me 5,000 yen? - No.

You've received your money for this month. - But I've spent all of it.

I've not been feeling very well recently.

Worse than expected.

I spent money on some expensive medicines.

I'll be better if I can buy some more medicine. - No, go away.

Not even a bit?

If I give you money now, what'll I spend next month?

We can solve that problem next month.

What an awful life I have.

I can't buy anything I like and I can't go where I want to have fun.

Even the food isn't very good.

I know that it's all my fault. But...

Mom, I'm working now.

I'll be scolded if the boss sees me.

Go away.

Recently, your father...

I really am unfortunate.

Why are you crying again? You're so annoying.

What? You'd be happy if your parents died, right?

What are you saying, I've heard enough.

I don't want to live like this either.

All will be fine if you get married.

Yes, you won't have to worry about us after that.

I understand. It's my fault having a daughter like you.

What a fool I've been!

Don't come here again. Please write if you've something to say.

I won't have anything to say, and I'm not afraid of death anymore.

Hey.

What are you doing?

You're looking for a phone number.

Let me help you.

What's the name of the person you're looking for?

Her name is Yoko Kakuda. - Is that your friend?

Yes.

Kakuda...

Good evening.

Miss Yoko! - I can't believe my eyes.

You're so beautiful. - Just like a model.

This dress must be expensive?

Just 50,000 yen.

And that handbag? - This.. 30,000 yen. - Let me see.

Awesome. - It's made of snake skin.

You're still the same as before, very slovenly.

Is there something wrong with your shoulder?

Yes. Recently, my fingers have been sore too.

The same repetitive switch operations.

That's not suitable work for people.

Your waist will hurt too if you work too long. It seems to affect fertility too. - Really?

You won't be young for ever. You should quit this job.

Get outside and make money.

What about that pornographic place?

Compared with the life in this place, that's heaven.

Let me introduce someone to you.

Come in.

The dormitory manager is a real pain. I told her this man was my boyfriend.

In fact, he's the manager of the bar where I'm working.

Pleased to meet you.

Here are some small gifts. Please feel free to taste them.

They want to know what the work in the bar is like. Tell them.

OK. In fact it's a good place. My card.

For example, the wages...

I can guarantee that you can earn 2,000 yen a day in my bar.

And there will be tips, bonuses too.

So you can earn at least 80,000 yen all told.

Some good workers can earn 150,000 yen a month.

My card.

There's no such name in the phone book. Where does she live?

It seems she lives in a mansion near the street.

There are no mansions here.

What's it called? - I don't know.

But she said she was working in Yuanyu Hall.

It seems to be around here.

Yuanyu Hall...

A cabaret, is that the place? Is she engaged in pornography?

Yes, oh the hall's phone number...

They aren't open yet. If your friend works there

you can find here there tonight. I'll take you there.

Let's go and have a cup of tea, if it's tails. OK?

Okay.

Tails.

How many do you want? - I like it sweet. Three. And you?

Two.

I like a bitter taste.

How old are you.

Don't ask such questions. - Isn't it OK?

You said you'd tell me. - How old do I look?

21. - What? Too old!

Then... 18?

Spot on. - Two years older than me.

Are you working in that factory? You're on the morning shift today.

How did you know? From my appearance? - Intuition.

Almost all the girls around here are the same.

Want a smoke?

Are you a student?

I'm just here helping my friends. - What's your job?

Not a good job.

Hey, the bottle's empty. Go buy a new one.

Some money, Mom.

I've no money.

I work hard every day and I can't even drink any wine.

Hurry up.

Why did you have an accident? It was due to drunk driving.

You shouldn't drink wine anymore...

That wasn't the reason for it!

It wasn't my fault.

35,000 yen every month,

for daughter's medical expenses. Don't be stupid.

You always say that. It seems that...

I'm the only one who needs to go to work for the company.

Why should I have to bear all of this?

Because there's no other way. We're poor.

Get out if you still have any problems.

What? Just you say that again?

I'll kill you!

What are you doing? Stop it!

It took me so long to make this.

How else can I pay for her medicine? We need the money.

You're always lying there.

What are you? Just an invalid who wastes my money.

Why don't you just drop dead! It'd be better for all of us.

What are you doing?

How have we become like this? It's all your fault.

What?

Everybody says it's my fault. I'll kill you!

What are you doing?

Stop, Dad.

Stop it.

Dad!

What the fuck are you doing?

Your father quarreled with your mother, that's all because of her.

Don't worry.

What are you thinking about? Are you feeling bored?

It's still early. Let's go to the movies. What kind of movies do you like?

It doesn't matter. I seldom go to the movies.

Let's watch this. It's a gangster movie.

It's a great movie. There's a girl...

Because of her father she's been sick in bed for a long time.

Do you want to watch it? That's the plot.

Why?

Don't... don't ask me like that.

It's mine. It must be.

Is that so?

All right.

After that dialogue,

There'll be fighting scenes.

Sounds really good!

Very interesting.

Let's go watch it.

Wait for me, I'll make a phone call.

That man... Really handsome.

He's tall, And his feet are good too.

You'll see that. Let's go together. - No, I have an appointment.

Me too.

I want to get some exercise.

And you?

I want to stay home.

You need to get out. Today is pay day.

And if you don't find a boyfriend, you'll be forgotten.

I hate boys!

You have a bad temper. How stingy she is!

Ahee sent most of her salary home. Look at this envelope.

Are you saving up to get married? - Don't speak to her, It's useless.

She's afraid of men.

Please don't talk about my affairs.

I'll give you this lipstick. You look like an old woman.

Learn how to make up and find a boyfriend. - Let's go.

Can I speak to my brother?

What? You don't know where he's going.

Nothing. I just want to...

Call later. I'll call you when he comes back.

OK, thank you.

Who did you call? - My brother.

Is it really OK if we go out? You're in work time.

It doesn't matter. I feel free now.

Let's go. - I'll pay for it. - What?

It doesn't matter, I've just received my salary.

Help yourself.

I always eat whilst I'm watching. - Thanks.

Your throat will be dry if you eat so much popcorn. Drink this.

You're so thoughtful.

Look. That man is so cool.

I like him.

I'm so happy...

What?

Watching a movie with a boy.

This is my first time.

OK.

The boys all love girls like you.

I really feel...

Feel so good.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What do you want to do?

So tired...

But so good...
