Tora-san's Dear Old Home (男はつらいよ 柴又慕情)

A Shochiku Film

Wait!

What're you doing? Please!

Shut up!

Please!

Die, invalid!

I beg you, please!

We'll starve if you take it all.

I told you. Pay back your debt first.

Wait ten more days. We'll pay.

For our baby's sake. Please!

I'm fed up with that talk.

Let's go.

Dirty rats!

Damn you! Stepping all over us poor people.

Be patient!

Can't waste time. Let's go.

Who're you?

You're Torajiro!

I hate to kill for nothing.

If money can solve this...

Do you think it's enough?

All right. You got out of it this time. Let's go.

Whoever you are, thank you for saving us.

Now we can manage to live. Thank you.

Buy some candy for the kid.

Wait. Is Torajiro your name?

I have a brother. He's been missing for twenty years.

His name is Torajiro.

Is it possible that you are him?

It's quite a common name.

But you look like him.

Mine's quite a common face. You must be mistaken.

I must be going.

Brother!

Are you getting on? The train's starting.

Sorry.

How are you?

Hello.

What're you looking at?

A swallows' nest.

They won't come back anymore?

It's hard to find food here. I'll take it down.

What if they come back and find the nest gone?

I knew you'd say that.

Uncle.

ROOM FOR RENT

Uncle.

Sakura, you came?

What's that sign for?

We're renting the room upstairs.

But why?

It's all for you.

For us?

It's hard work keeping it clean.

Oh, you're here?

Why rent the room for us?

We talked it over.

You two decided to build a house.

We want to help. But we have no money.

With the rent, we can help you a little.

The rent won't be much anyway.

But it'll pay for some furniture.

You're so considerate.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

We wish we could give you a lot more for your house.

He still wants to play the big shot.

Just like someone.

I can't help it. Tora's my relative.

That reminds me. It's about time Tora turned up.

Would it be all right?

About what?

That sign out there.

It's for Sakura, not for us.

I know but...

What do you think?

Well...

I'm worried about what he would think.

Would he get mad?

It's like saying there's no room for him.

And the sign's under the devil-chasing charm.

It looks like a Tora-chasing charm.

Let's not joke about it.

Big news! Tora's here.

Where?

He came to where I was practicing golf.

As I said before,

I know I'm not the type to play golf.

But for my business I have to.

I know.

I want you to explain it to Tora.

The difficult situation of small business.

I'm sick!

Uncle, what'll we do?

What?

About the sign.

What'll we do?

We should take it down.

That's it.

Too late, he's here.

Pretend you don't see him.

Did he notice it?

He went by. Ah, he's back.

Sakura.

What's going on?

Be quiet.

What's Tora doing?

He's gone.

He's gone?

How come?

What's with that idiot?

Brother.

Brother, what's wrong with you?

Just think it over.

Think what?

That sign below the devil-chasing charm...

The "room for rent" sign?

Is that what it says?

I read: "No room for me to live in."

I know I'm not welcome. I'll find a room myself.

Bye.

What did he say?

He's gone.

Didn't you stop him?

Don't ask me. Move!

Landlords prefer newly wed couples or students.

Judging from your kind of work, it's not easy.

I don't give a damn for landlords.

I'm not asking too much.

A small room upstairs or something.

Let's see...

A room in Urayasu?

Too far away.

The room doesn't have to be sunny.

Some place with a factory behind it.

Then let me introduce you to a realtor.

Don't expect quality.

The room can be small, just enough to sleep in.

I think I'm being a real easy client.

That's right.

A kind old lady could be there when I come home...

She'd say, "Welcome home." That's enough.

I see.

No bath. I like the public bath.

"Go to take a bath. I'll fix supper."

A towel, washbowl and soap.

She'd give me 40 yen for the bath.

"See you," and I'd go to the bath house.

Supper's ready.

It doesn't have to be a big deal.

The rent isn't high so a dish of sashimi to start.

Vegetables, soup and an omelet.

And 3 bottles of sake.

I start dozing, she sees me,

"Sakura, bring him a pillow. A massage too."

Sakura's a girl there.

What's that look for?

Go someplace else.

I know it's hard to find a room.

I know that, have some tea.

I'm worn out. Help me.

Let's see if I have the kind of room you're looking for.

How's this one?

An old house but the rent is real cheap.

Mitsuo, let's go home.

I don't want to go.

You don't?

Sakura, we need a garden for him.

That's right.

The land is limited.

What's up?

The realtor's bringing a client.

Client? A boarder?
