Tora-san Goes North (男はつらいよ 知床慕情)

A Shochiku Film

"How cherry blossoms remind me of many things… "

The ancients made up such pretty words…

Viewing cherry blossoms… … …

Makes stupid men like me remember things, too…

When I was sixteen, I fought with my dad…

I walked beside the Edogawa River, crying…

Cherry blossoms were scattering then…

No cherry tree there now…

When I was a kid,

the Edogawa River was famous for its cherry blossoms…

Every spring… … …

I went there with my folks and Sakura…

I was so happy to see the cherry blossoms…

I remember the excitement…

Yeah… … …

I was born and raised… … …

In Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo by the Edogawa River…

I'm good, eh?

Good morning.

Hello, Sakura.

Thanks for the flowers. My uncle was delighted.

How is he?

Better, thanks. He'll leave the hospital soon.

That's good.

My aunt exaggerated, so everyone worried.

What's the successor doing at a time like this?

I mean Tora.

We've given up on him.

You shouldn't.

He'll realize someday.

Thank you.

I'll tell Uncle that. Goodbye.

Don't give up.

I've given you up.

Yes, I have!

Temporarily Closed - Toraya

You still here?

Eating?

Aunty cooked for me.

Thank you.

For his roommates.

I met the High Priest just now.

What did he say?

He asked about our successor, Tora.

If only that man could settle down...

It's about time he got back.

It's summer.

I hope he postpones getting home.

I have my hands full with my husband.

I can't handle Tora, too.

Look after the house.

Tell Uncle I'll come tomorrow.

You can't keep the shop closed.

Right. We're running low on cash.

Maybe we should open tomorrow.

It'll be hard on you.

I have to do my best for my uncle and aunt.

Why, Brother!

It's open.

You're back!

What's up? How come you're closed?

The joint finally go bust?

They off on a trip somewhere?

Why be sarcastic?

Uncle's in a hospital.

He has pneumonia. It was bad.

We even thought about...

Placing a "missing persons" ad for you.

So how is he?

Better. He passed the crisis.

He'll be back soon.

Yeah? That's good to hear.

Sorry, I didn't know.

Does his doctor drink a lot?

Or doesn't he?

Why?

I'll go see Uncle.

I'll bring his doctor a gift.

It's not necessary.

You don't know the world.

See? If you slip a guy's doctor something,

he'll get better treatment.

So what's the doc's name?

I don't know.

You don't?

How many nurses they got on him?

Don't ask me.

You don't know?

You guys don't know anything.

Some bunch! I'm glad I'm back.

Maybe lots of nurses.

Cherries or crackers should satisfy them.

And for Uncle's roommates.

Anyhow, I'll go to the hospital.

Does he know which hospital?

He's hopeless.

Brother!

What's that?

Mitsuo gave me this computer game.

So difficult!

Your sis?

Hi!

Wasn't that Tora?

Talk of the devil and sure enough.

Aunty! Is this the room?

Tora.

Uncle.

I didn't know.

You're back?

I ran all the way. You're better?

Thank you. I'm better.

That's great.

Sakura's been so nice.

It's been rough on you.

I almost forgot.

Listen.

Thanks for being kind to my uncle.

Thanks a lot.

He's a dumb hick, but treat him nice.

My gifts for his roommates.

One each.

You're thoughtful.

Doctor...

How's your appetite?

I ate all my breakfast.

Then, no more intravenous feeding.

You look better.

Thanks for curing my uncle, Doc.

You his relative?

Please take this as a token of thanks.

You shouldn't. We can't accept gifts.

Don't say that.

Gifts can lead to favoritism.

Doc!

Wait a minute!

I can't take back what I offered.

No means no.

Nobody's looking so...

Don't insult me!

You did it!

You are an idiot!

What a jerk.

You all right?

That's all for today.

People, thanks for working so hard.

Toraya opens tomorrow?

To earn their keep.

Shall I help?

Let's go out tonight.

Idiot!

Been to the hospital?

What's that?

Where's Tora?

Upstairs.

It sure was a mess.

Tora tried to force whiskey on the doctor, who got upset.

They all refused these.

What a shame!

Rotten bananas...

Akemi, will you hide these?

Hi, Aunty.

You got home? Exhausted?

Thanks for today.

They liked the bananas?

They're a little old, but they're tasty.

Hi, Tora!

Akemi? Hitting it off with hubby?

It's like we're divorced.

I'll work at Toraya.
