Tora-san, the Expert (男はつらいよ 花も嵐も寅次郎)

A Shochiku Film

In the old days, Brooklyn was ravaged by violence…

And youngsters were reckless…

Fights were a daily occurrence…

To the Mafia, Brooklyn was theirs…

"Once we go through the mirror, we're accomplices.

"They track us down when we're hiding... dynamite!

"We can't stop flirting with danger.

"It's like walking a tightrope.

"Hold your breath and wait.

"Now, go dynamite, dynamite!

"Why is this so hot and exciting?

"It's thrilling anytime, anywhere.

"Don't make a fuss, everyone.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

This man is a notorious punk…

Called, Julie the Pimp…

Any nice babes around?

You're not bad.

Let's play.

Silly! Don't you know whose sister I am?

How could I know?

My brother is Tora of Brooklyn.

Tora?

Who's he?

You don't know him? Some guy!

My brother's a nice and kind, good-looking man.

Compared to him, you're scum.

Scum?

Say that again!

Brother!

Out on parole?

It's Tora!

Tora?

Tora… Just mentioning his name… … …

Terrifies the Mafia bosses…

Tora is back…

Hey, punk, you think you can kill me so easily?

It's a pity I'm no match for you.

Thus peace was restored in Brooklyn…

The morning sun, filled with hope andpeace,

is about to light the town…

Don't strain yourself. You'll hurt your back.

Let me help you.

Praying for the success of your son, who is in Tokyo?

I'll do it for you.

I'll ring the bell to call the God. I bet he's near.

Sorry, God.

Let's run.

Hello.

It's still hot, isn't it?

You here, Mitsuo?

He's too hungry to go home.

Guess what this is.

Mushrooms! Where did you get them?

They're a gift from the Priest.

They smell good.

Try one.

Mushrooms?

Worth several thousand yen.

That much?

Too much to eat them like we used to.

We cook them with rice, put them in soup...

Just bake them with a lemon.

And sake, of course.

I'm full.

Hi there!

Sakura, instant noodles aren't bad.

The ones I just ate were good.

We were discussing more elite food.

Like what?

See? Mushrooms.

The real ones?

Don't rub it on your nose.

Never mind.

We do mind. You're dirty.

Mushrooms that good?

No. They're just expensive.

I wish Tora was here.

Why?

We could eat the mushrooms together.

That's right.

I wonder what he's doing.

He must be starving somewhere.

Tora, huh?

Will you buy my flowers?

Sorry, we already did.

Maybe some other time...

Dear, I'll be going.

Is that Momoe?

Yes. She's all dolled up.

Her husband's well off now.

She left him but went back to him again.

Are they getting along now?

I'll take this.

If it isn't Sakura!

Came to visit your folks?

I went to Hawaii. I brought them gifts.

That's nice.

Hello, Aunty.

Your man's smart.

He owns a big shop? What does he sell?

Golf supplies. He likes golf.

By the way, how's Tora?

Fine, I suppose.

Still single?

I envy him. I wish I were free, too.

My husband's waiting in the car. Excuse me.

Tora!

Aren't you Momoe?

We were talking about you.

Gee, you got sexy.

Wonderful liar!

He fell for her? How fast!

I sometimes think of you.

You're lying again.

I hear you're still single.

Because I can't forget you.

Nor can I.

You're lying, too.

You have a good build.

You look fine.

Momoe.

What?

What's keeping you?

Sorry. Bye, Tora.

Who's he?

A childhood friend.

Don't start it again.

Jealous?

Jilted already?

Fast, this time.

She's married?

Howdy, Sakura.

Welcome home.

Mitsuo...

Welcome back.

Uncle, Tora's back.

Yeah. Welcome home.

Cold greeting!

You mad or something?

Of course not.

Why not go upstairs and rest?

I'm not tired.

You'd better rest in your room.

Welcome back, Tora. You never change.

Right, I never change.

You should know.

What a pity!

Going out?

To abacus class.

Mushrooms for supper. Come home soon.

Hot!

Supper's ready.

Eat while it's hot.

We fixed mushrooms.

From the Priest.

Nice, huh?

Welcome home.

Howdy, Hiroshi, Uncle.

Nice smell, huh?

You cooked mushrooms?

Here comes the glutton. Hide them.

The nerve! That's mean.

He's right. You were mean.

Let's eat. Looks good.

I saved one for you. Don't be mad.

Thanks.

I can't see any mushrooms.

Is this one?

Let me look.
