Tora-san's Salad-Day Memorial (男はつらいよ 寅次郎サラダ記念日)

A Shochiku Film

Sakura, are you well?

How are your folks and Uncle and Aunty?

I'm on the road as usual…

I roam from south to north… Fall follows summer…

In fall, I chase the red leaves south…

I wish I could get out of this lousy life…

But I'm a born loafer as you know…

My efforts always fizzle…

You know the saying: only death can cure a fool…

Tellyour son Mitsuo… … …

Not to end up like his uncle…

Drum it into him…

And tell him this:

His uncle hopes he 'll grow up… … …

To be an honest and decent man…

Ticket, please.

We'll arrive in about 10 minutes.

Have a drink.

No, no.

I can't. I can't.

Come on. Have a bite.

I'm on duty. No, thanks.

He punched this too?

Funny guy.

Give it to me.

Idiot.

Gen.

How's the High Priest?

He's at the kindergarten.

It's their field day, huh?

Here's the change.

Thanks.

Thank you for coming.

Hello!

Got used to it?

Everyone says he's a nice boy.

Don't give up, okay?

Lunch?

Uncle.

The union will handle Sanpei's health insurance.

We'll pay more, but that's the rule.

This stuff's beyond me. I'll leave it to you.

It's the kindergarten field day.

It seems like just yesterday that Mitsuo went there.

What's he thinking?

About college?

He wants to go to a small, rural college.

He lacks guts.

Why go so far when he lives in Tokyo?

He wants to study in a quiet place.

Talking about Mitsuo?

You're having a hard time?

What are you doing?

Don't act like Tora. Come in.

Fool.

Mail for you.

Thank you.

It's from Uncle. Illegible!

What does he say?

"Hi there! It's fall now. Good weather, good grub.

"I'm doing great. I wish you all the best. Torajiro."

Sounds like fun!

Maybe I can be his apprentice if I fail college.

He's a loafer cause he failed college.

Back to work.

Hello.

Sweets? Right away...

May I have one?

Really? Thanks.

Granny, when is the next bus?

In another hour.

Yeah?

So a bus just left?

Where are you headed?

I wonder.

Is there a nice spa around?

An open-air bath beside a river. I can watch the moon.

A village girl comes up.

"You stayin' the night here, huh?"

It's great to be rich!

Rich? Lady, I'm broke. I got lots of time, though.

Where are you headed?

Me? Back home.

With gifts for the grandkids?

No grandkids.

A hard-working son then?

He moved to Tokyo with his wife and left me.

All alone, huh? You must be lonely.

You're a funny guy.

Think so?

Why don't you stay at my place tonight?

I may look like a bum.

But I'm a hard worker. Thanks.

Take a bath first.

Thanks.

It's an iron bathtub. There are geta in it.

I know. I must wear them inside.

Take a tumble and your ass gets burned real good.

What a funny guy!

I'll fix you some mushroom soup tonight.

"Kusatsu is a nice place. Come visit.

"Flowers blossom in the spas..."

It's so much fun.

You like it? That's good!

Have another drink.

I know dry sake and light sake.

But this stuff is sour.

It's from my husband's memorial service.

It must be a bit sour.

Force it down.

No, no, it's good.

Come on, you drink, too.

I'll sing another song for you.

"Even the trees invite us to Sado Island..."

Come. Come here.

Anyone there, Granny?

My old man's sitting there.

Come here.

Hey, get a grip.

You said your husband died years ago.

He shows up now and then.

Look, this is Tora. Say hello to him.

Knock it off, huh?

My old man's a shy type.

Hey, where are you going?

To the can.

Come here, dear. Don't be shy.

You can pee right there.

"Even the trees invite us...

"To Sado Island..."

"Even the trees..."

Good morning.

I'm a doctor.

So you're a doctor.

Hey, Granny!

Come on in.

Good morning, Granny.

I came to take you to the hospital.

I've been waiting for you.

You said you'd come by yourself.

Doctor...

I don't want to die in that hospital.

I want to die here.

We talked about this.

Get an examination, get treated...

After you're well, you can come home.

Doctor...

Please let me stay here.

No. We'll go to the hospital.

Get ready.

Granny!

She came all the way for you.

Do as she says.

I'll go with you.

Will you come with me?

Sure. All the way.

In that case... I'll go.

Very well!

Thanks for your help.

Family?

No. I'm just visiting.

It made me sad that she's living alone.

So I stayed the night with her.

You're so kind.

Is she really sick?

I feel sorry for her.

But she can't be left alone anymore.

She's lived alone for over 10 years.

Are you all right?
