Tora-san's Cherished Mother (続・男はつらいよ)

Please pardon me if I'm wrong.

You're not Okiku by any chance?

Please look at my face closely!

Remember my face?

You don't?

It was 38 years ago on a cold night.

A perfect lovely a boy.

It's been a long time.

I've been calling your name in my mind.

I wanted to say it aloud.

Mother. I missed you so much.

I'm your son, Torajiro!

Mother.

Mother!

A dream again?

I'm Kuruma Torajirou

To me the most important thing are freedom...

...and making friends.

Please!

Here I go

Your order.

Thank you.

I'll go now.

Can't you stay a little longer?

No, he's doing overtime work.

Eat supper here then, Do that.

I'm tired of eating with the old woman.

See, see, your mother.

Showed Mitsuo where Father works.

Idiot.

Take him to that dusty place.

Is it? I am sorry.

Never mind!

Mitsuo, come to me.

Thank you.

Mitsuo...

He looks like Tora more and more.

A square face.

Oh, no! I said not to say that!

Be handsomer like me.

Fool. Like a bagger then.

Better than a clog face.

The customer wants beer.

Hurry away.

Welcome

Your order.

Auntie.

It's Tora. Forget me?

No wonder. I don't blame you.

Oh, my! What a thing to say!

Listen, listen! It's Tora!

Why are you sitting there ordering beer?

Tora!

Uncle, have you been well?

I see. You've grown old since I last saw you.

Time flies. How many years since then?

Years? Not even one yet!

What? Oh, I see.

I thought it was 10 years.

We were worried!

Not a word since you left!

Yes, you could've sent a postcard.

Thanks.

Worried about a no-good bird of passage like me.

Thank you.

We know. That's enough.

Is my sister, Sakura, well? Is she?

Sakura!

Who's he?

You have a baby? He's your son?

Fine. Fine. I see. Getting along well with Hiroshi?

You're fool. What've you been doing?

You don't know how worried we were!

It's all my fault. Don't cry

Tora, he's your nephew. Hold him.

See, Mitsuo. He's your uncle.

They all say he looks like you.

Is that right? You look like me, do you?

Everybody seems sad.

Not here. Let's go back.

Tea.

No, make it sake.

Uncle, I'm sorry

But I can't stay long.

I'll take my leave.

Don't joke! You just arrived!

Don't stop me.

I'm in the middle of a trip and just dropped by.

Must you rush off now?

Stay at my place too.

Thanks.

You're well. That's enough for me.

Give Hiroshi my regards.

Wait, I'll go and call him.

You needn't feel reserved! Stay a night!

Please don't stop me.

Have some tea then. Can you?

No, It won't work!

One cup becomes two or three, then sweets.

More tea or sake later.

One's not enough, a lot of empty sake bottles.

Too drunk to get up, I stay a night

It's Good Morning. Tea, please.

Two cups of tea become three, then sweet sake.

I can't stay.

Do you have to think so far?

Don't stop me. Let me go on my trip

Uncle, Aunt, be happy.

Brother! Leaving already?

Hiroshi? Working all oily as usual?

Take care of Sakura.

Brother, wait!

Please don't stop me.

Brother! Wait a minute!

It's too much!

Why can't you feel more at home?

Do we make you feel uneasy?

Listen, Sakura, don't stop me.

Understand?

Mitsuo, become a big boy and be good to your parents.

We may look alike when you grow up.

Ask Mommy buy you some candy.

So much

Never mind. See you.

Brother! You must go?

You may not know it but this is our trying lot.

That sure hurt!

Goodbye, teacher

Goodbye

Goodbye, teacher

Very good

Teacher! Mr. Tsubouchi!

It's been a long time!

Don't you remember me?

You forgot?

Now wonder.

It's over 20 years ago.

You taught me English!

I'm Torajiro Kuruma!

You know. I didn't study, so you beat me up.

Hopping mad

I'd be mean to your girl with the runny nose.

That's Tora

You've forgotten me?

No, I haven't. I remember you.

Really? You do?

Yes, come in.

Let's see... Yes, I will

It's all different.

It seemed to be a better house.

Not so well off?

Is the girl with the runny nose well?

See? She's standing there.

Know who he is, Natsuko?

Excuse me if I'm wrong.

Torajiro?

Yes.

Really? Oh, no! Tora?

How do you do?

Invite him in.

Please come in!

No, no. I can't stay. I'll have to go now.

Nonsense! Have a cup of tea

Is that so? But I have to...

Busy? Going somewhere?

No, I'm a bird of passage with no destination

Then stay! Please go in!

I see. Just one cup then. Just one cup.

Hello. This is Toraya.

Hello, Auntie?

What? You're Tora?

I'm drunk

Staying here tonight?

Where are you now?

Mr. Tsubouchi's place.

What? His home?

You get on the train?

What? A brother? Who is he?

It's alright. A brother?

Hello, I'm Natsuko. How do you do.

So see you...

Teacher!

I'm so happy cause you remembered me. I'm happy.

I saw your face once. It's a face I would never forget.

Is that so? Thank you. Thank you. Let's drink up.

Life is like Shin and Sho.

Wedrink and share the candlelight tonight

You know the meaning?

I am no good in English.

You are an idiot! It is Chinese.

It means that it is very difficult for people to meet again.

And the second part means...

What a wonderful night.

An old friend has come.

The father tells his clamoring children to bring sake.

Then sends them away to drink with his guest.

It is raining outside.

Their conversation never ends.

Tomorrow, you will say farewell

And cross a mountain.
