Who are you?

You're very good-looking!

Next time let's have some fun.

'Bye.

What the hell?!

Talk at the station.

What are you talking about?!

Don't give me that. We saw you and your partner.

I never saw that before!

Damn! She took my wallet!

Drop the act, huh?

You've got it all wrong! I don't know anything!

Reiko, can I come, too?

Come where?

Silly! To meet Yoshioka when the police let him go!

The Section Chief got him out. He doesn't need me.

Don't be so mean! He's your boyfriend!

I sympathize.

But getting arrested as a pickpocket's accomplice?

I'll tell him you said that.

Fine.

There's nothing between us.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Oh, sure!

The teary-eyed meeting at the prison gates!

I'd love to see that!

I'm sorry.

What a mess, huh?

Bad luck!

What happened?

Sorry to cause all this trouble.

So where did Reiko go?

Why, if it isn't Reiko! Come in!

I'm so glad to see you again!

So am I! You're looking great!

It's been two months! How long are you here for?

I have to fly back tonight.

You're no fun!

It's business. I just wanted to see your face.

Well, now you've seen it.

Don't talk like that! Be nice to me!

No! I'm angry at you.

I'll be back next week. I'll bring you something nice.

You will?

Damn right!

Then I forgive you.

Unzip me.

What's your hurry?

They'll complain at work if I'm late.

What a nuisance! It's enough to drive a man to tears!

Your skin is so smooth! You're so beautiful!

What's wrong?

I'll just go pretty myself up.

Hey! You're fine now!

Now, you be a good boy and wait quietly.

Yes, ma'am.

I hate nosy men!

I wonder if you'd accept a transfer to Osaka...

Osaka?!

It's a branch office, but the work's not much different.

Well?

Yes, sir.

They'll find you a place to live and everything.

But sir...

You can do a turn down there and come back.

As it happens, they need someone right now.

You leave Monday.

Monday?!

You'll need to pack. Your ticket's bought.

You're on the 7 a.m. train.

Take the rest of the day off and get your things ready.

I have to talk to you.

Meet me at 5:30 at the usual place.

Type this for the Section Chief.

Why did you agree to a transfer to Osaka?

What could I say?

The Director asked me, and the paperwork's done.

And I'm in disgrace over that pickpocket thing, too.

So you deserve it?

I don't think so,

but it can't be helped.

What about us?

You don't care if I'm here and you're in Osaka?

- But what can I do? - Say it!

- What? - That you don't want to go.

- To who? - Mr. Morikawa!

The Director?

He'll listen. I guarantee it.

Now we've got that decided, we'd better act fast.

Go ask him right away. You'll do that if you love me.

Why not come to Osaka with me?

No! If we got married now, we'd be poor. We couldn't live

on just your salary.

Are you angry?

No.

Then say something.

I'm thinking.

Don't think. Just do it.

Go see him now.

Please?

Oh, all right. I'll go see him.

Stick to your guns!

Tell me how it goes!

Do those take your fancy?

Well! A face from the past! It's been years!

That's good.

I'm sure you don't want to see too much of me.

No, I wish we'd become friends. I have dreams about you.

Don't be sarcastic. I've got no grudge against you.

I'm telling the truth! You were my first arresting officer!

So I'm in your nightmares...

No, I'm grateful. Without you I'd never have gone straight!

Oh, you're smooth!

There was a case yesterday involving a pretty girl.

What happened?

She made a very clever escape.

When I heard about it, something clicked.

Of all the nerve!

Don't look at me like that!

You're horrible!

Are you okay?

I sprained my ankle. Go buy me some salve.

I'm on duty...

Don't you serve the people?

I'm a taxpayer!

Is there a pharmacy around here?

There's one on the corner. I'll pay you back.

Cops don't make much, you know...

Hey! Come here a minute.

Hey, mister...

POLICE

Where did you find this?

A pretty lady said to give it to an old man with shifty eyes.

So, will you cancel Mr. Yoshioka's transfer or not?

And if I don't?

I'll tell them about you and me.

But then you'll never be able to marry Yoshioka.

And you won't be a Department Director any more.

If I admit it.

But if I deny it, and say you're not just a typist

but a call-girl employed by a certain organization

who will people believe?

Let's not talk that way.

Will you cancel the transfer?

Okay. You win.

But tonight, let's you and I have a real farewell party.

Mr. Yoshioka's going to your place to talk to you.

So go home, will you?

Oh, come on! At least tonight...

No! I'll introduce you to someone nice instead.

You will?

Don't look so happy!

And I'd like something for a farewell gift, as well.

Something a man like you might call 'a check'.

You don't mince words, do you. I didn't bring a chequebook.

How's that?

Is that all?

I could make it less.

Hey!

Just sign it.

What time does Mr. Morikawa usually get back?

We operate like a hotel here, so unless a resident asks

we have nothing to do with the rooms.

My name is Yoshioka.

Could you say I'd like to see him and I'll come back tomorrow?

Mr. Yoshioka? Certainly.

Thank you.

All old men.

Hello.

Hi.

How've you been?

Were you away?

I spent a week taking a foreign buyer from Nara to Kobe.

Sanko Trading? They like to spend money. Was it fun?

Tiring.

You spend all day walking around tourist places.

Then you work all night, too.

You wake up 'drawn'.

And not just from posing.

Hey, Yukiko...

Can I see the boss?

He's free right now.

Meet the guy in the glasses at the Cattleya at 9:30.

That old guy? He looks like a professor!

He's already paid. You can settle in the office.

Okay.

You bitch!

Come back later.

Tomorrow's fine.

Anyway, I'm quitting.

You think you can?

Is that a threat? I'm tougher than the other girls, you know.

And if I say no?

Then the Vice Squad will get an anonymous letter

about how prominent companies are supplied

with beautiful young women

after just one telephone call to the "Croquis Sketching Club."
