Tora-san Takes a Vacation (男はつらいよ 寅次郎の休日)

A Shochiku Film

It's been thirty years since I left home…

A hometown is a joy to remember…

Not a place to return to…

I know that, but… … …

While on a lonelyjourney,

I can 't help but cry, thinking of my old home…

Sire, a woman is asking...

If she can stay the night.

A woman?

Is she a pretty woman?

Yes.

Poor woman!

Bring her here.

"Observing the beautiful moon, did I sit up all night..."

A good poem!

Welcome!

Hard journey, wasn't it?

I wish I could help you more.

Servant,

bring her some hot gruel.

Certainly.

I hear a deer in yonder mountains.

Is it calling its mother or brother?

What's the matter?

While observing the moon,

I recalled my misfortune and cried.

Forgive me.

Do tell me what happened...

I will help you forget it all.

Thank you.

Have you got parents and brothers?

They were all killed during civil wars.

Is that so? What a tragedy!

I have no concerns or regrets in my present life.

But I wish...

I could see my brother who left me when I was a child.

That's my only wish in life.

Your brother?

Where do you come from?

The Kanto area.

But the Kanto area is very large.

Shibamata Village in Musashi Province.

Shibamata?

What are you called?

They call me Lady Sakura, sire.

Sakura...

Do you or do you not remember my countenance?

Your face...

You're my brother!

Sakura!

You had such a hard time...

Brother!

A dream?

Lady, thanks for the grub.

Original Story and Directed by Yoji Yamada

Mitsuo rode his motorcycle again yesterday.

But not today. Have him take the train.

Take care!

Mitsuo, eat breakfast quick, or you'll be late.

Don't get hysterical. You'll ruin my whole day.

The way you talk! Don't you mind being late?

I've no morning classes.

You should've said so sooner.

I got up early for you.

I have to make fruit salad and stuff for you.

Mom.

No more allowance.

I want to board out.

Two hours to get to college.

Motorcycles are faster, but Dad says no.

You can study in the train.

How can I study,

standing like this all the way?

I get so tired I'm half asleep in my first class.

Still, you can commute from here.

Compared with people from remote places, you're lucky.

I don't call it "lucky."

Even students from Tokyo live alone near the college.

We can't afford it.

Don't worry, I'll work.

I'm against it.

Then I'll talk to Dad.

Supper...?

Nope.

Mitsuo!

Don't go by motorcycle!

Let's play hide and seek.

Are you ready?

Not yet.

We're ready!

Delivery?

Where to?

Shibamata Hall. They phoned to hurry.

Kirindo's daughter-in-law.

Your son grew so fast!

Thanks about Dad.

He left the hospital?

She gave us a gift of thanks.

It's very nice of you.

How old are you?

Three.

Your name?

Akira.

He's cute.

You look like Grandpa.

He's so stubborn. I left the money here.

You don't have to pay.

Come again.

Children his age are so cute.

Mitsuo was once like that.

He's so contrary now.

He says he wants to board by himself.

I wonder why.

He wants independence. It's his age.

He's only a college boy.

Tora became independent when he was only fifteen.

Independence? You mean he was kicked out.

His relatives were glad to be rid of him.

He was a bad egg.

Was he that bad?

Was he ever!

Kuruma speaking.

Why, Brother, it's you?

We were talking about you.

I know…

I heard you.

Hey, how's the college kid?

Studying hard?

I see. He's our family's "star of hope."

Japan's future rests on his shoulders.

Maybe so.

Sure, we're all fine.

Where are you?

In Japan…

When'll you be back?

When? Well, let's see...

This is the autumn festival season.

I make money while on the road.

I'll come home later.

Remember me to your bright son.

Bye.

How much for the grub?

Never mind. We shared our food.

Thanks but...

I can't leave without paying.

You told me interesting stories, too.

That's on the house. Come on, how much?

I don't know.

What'll we do?

Then, will you pay us this much?

Only that? How can you make money that way?

My man says it's enough.

Really? If that's what you want.

Your palm.

Here.

Keep the change.

Have fun. So long.

I'm amazed.

Only 50 yen for 2 bottles of sake and rice and other food?

He lacks common sense.

What'll we do?

Let's consider we donated food and drinks.

Yes, let's.

It's him.

Give it to him straight. Don't compromise.

Make it tomorrow.

No. The sooner we settle it, the better.

Have you talked to him?

You said you'd talk to him yourself.

Germany has been unified...

Dad.

I want to rent a room. Is it okay?

Paying with what?

I'll work.

We pay your tuition, you work for your board?

Sounds easy.

I'll work after classes.

When will you study?

Give me a break. Stop pushing about studying!

Listen.

I'm disappointed.
