Tora-san's Love Call (男はつらいよ 寅次郎恋歌)

A Shochiku Film

NO MATINEE TODAY

The rain's washed my business out.

I wanted to stay and enjoy your show.

Is that so?

We've been holding shows now for three days.

But this long rain...

Not even one person turned up for the matinee.

I see. I'm sorry about that.

It's not easy for us to carry on a business, is it?

But it won't be bad forever.

The rain'll stop tonight. It'll be fine weather tomorrow.

Let's make the best of it.

Thank you.

Work hard.

You haven't got an umbrella?

My inn's so near I won't get wet much.

No, you mustn't.

Sayuri.

Our star, Sayuri Ozora.

She'll go with you.

No, no. Take a good look.

Show your gold tooth.

Goodbye.

Wait a minute.

Your name's Sayuri?

You like your work?

Yes, very much.

Not too hard?

Yes, sometimes.

But I forget about it on stage.

You do? That's good.

That's the spirit.

You'll be a fine actress one day.

Thank you.

I'd like to get to be good enough to be on TV.

You will.

Not much, but tell the leader to treat all of you to some sake.

So much!

Never mind.

I'm on the road, so I can't do much.

Thank you.

Your name, sir?

I'm not great or anything.

But, I'll be scolded.

I see.

Remember me like this...

I'm Torajiro Kuruma, born in Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo.

People simply call me Tora, the street peddler.

You're Mr. Tora, then?

That's about it.

Thank you. I'll do as you say.

Goodbye.

Do your best.

Oh, no!

I gave her too much!

Thank you.

You walked, Mitsuo? Good boy.

You walked?

What's the matter? Why so sad?

Oh, my... are you crying?

What is it? What's wrong?

What happened?

I went to the vegetable shop.

This woman was scolding her son.

He won't mind anyone.

Then what?

I only heard his mother's voice.

What do you think she said?

"Study or you'll end up like Tora."

Don't go there again.

Of course not.

An old friend too, I thought.

Don't let her buy here again.

I won't talk to her.

That woman!

It's not really her fault.

But...

Maybe it can't be helped.

She couldn't very well tell her son to be like him.

But my brother hasn't done anything wrong.

No.

He's really gentle.

Nicer than that woman's husband.

Why insult him, then?

It makes me angry.

Wasn't that Tora?

Yes!

Ashamed to come in.

I thought so.

Isn't Tora back?

Awful for you. My condolences.

Fool!

Why did you say that?

Tora's my only nephew. Why can't he come back?

Yes, it's only natural.

What's wrong?

Nothing. We were talking about welcoming my brother warmly.

I see.

He'll come. Pretend you don't know.

We shouldn't be here.

I see. You're right.

You stay. We'll be in back.

When he comes, let us know.

We'll come out.

Play your parts.

You too, President. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Let's go, Mitsuo.

Tora's coming back.

Welcome home.

You okay?

Yes. And you?

Yeah. Uncle and Aunty...?

They're here.

Uncle. Aunty. Brother's back!

What? Tora?

Well! Well! Tora!

Welcome back.

What's the idea?

Idea? We're welcoming you.

What for?

Is it that bad?

Not too good.

Why? A welcome's nice.

Yes, it is.

But do I deserve to be welcomed?

What's that?

Don't talk like that.

It's your idea, Sakura?

Teasing me because I got back?

Don't twist things up so.

Don't fight, you're just back.

Seems you've got a lot of time to help in this country show.

Factory close down?

That's unlucky.

I'm a responsible president.

You a president? That's fine.

Fine as a cat with hair full of ashes.

Brother!

Shut up!

I only come back once in a while, then you're mad.

I'll see your hubby at that crummy factory.

Uncle, I bought this back scratcher for you.

I can't stand it.

I'll lie down.

Pillow, bring my Sakura. No, bring my pillow.

Fellow workers.

Laboring on in spite of the dollar shock?

Good for you.

About autumn sales? Pretty busy?

You're back?

It's been some time.

Yes. Why can't they all talk like you?

Anything wrong?

Lend an ear.

What? Why're you laughing?

What's so funny?

You laughing too?

What is it? What's funny?

Octopus?

Call the guy in charge!

Fools!

It's no joke!

Cheap ink, that's why. It's an insult.

It's really no joke!

Laughing again?

Am I so funny?

Step aside.
