Tora-san's Dream of Spring (男はつらいよ　寅次郎の春の夢)

A Shochiku Film

Water! Give me water!

Thank you.

You're Japanese?

It's been so long since I heard Japanese.

Are you hurt?

Forget it.

I won't live long.

I'm fed up with living as a wanted man.

By the way...

Will you do me a favor?

If you ever go back to Japan...

Will you give this charm to a woman?

Tell her it's from her brother.

If she asks where her brother is...

Just say he was in far-off San Francisco and...

He died miserably.

But he kept wishing her happiness until his last breath.

Can you tell me your name?

My name is Torajiro. Torajiro Kuruma.

My sister's name is...

Sakura!

Sakura.

How many times have I shouted that name...

Toward the sky of Japan?

How do you know that name?

Then you're...

Brother!

Sakura!

God has saved me!

Let's go back to Japan.

How?

I've been looking for you.

You came at a good time.

A ship for Japan.

Hurry!

Let's get aboard and be free!

We're safe now.

We're bound for Japan.

Thank you. You saved my sister and me.

My heart-felt thanks.

The sun is coming up - rising from the east.

It looks as if the morning sun is also blessing us.

Have we reached Japan?

Was I dreaming?

Good morning.

Sorry, Mitsuo came on the wrong day.

Never mind. Tell him to come today.

He's forgetful.

Excuse me, then.

See you.

Bye.

English Con versation School

Good morning.

Autumn is here. The maples have turned color.

Where's Aunty?

Upstairs. We got some grapes from Kofu.

Take as many as you want.

Wow! So many!

There was no need to send so many.

Good!

Lots of fruit in autumn.

Persimmons, apples, tangerines...

About time for Tora to show up one of these days.

Yes.

Sakura, come on down.

What is it?

It's Tora! He's back!

What?

Welcome back!

I saw you riding your bike near the temple.

Why didn't you call me?

Welcome back.

Aunty, how are you?

I'm fine.

Glad to hear it.

What's that?

A present.

What is it?

Grapes. They're in season.

Have you had any this year?

No.

Not this year.

Really? Good.

Come inside.

When summer ends, I suddenly get aches and pains.

Me too. My shoulders are stiff.

Come on in.

Aunty, do you mind if I rest upstairs?

It's such a mess right now.

I don't mind.

You can rest right here.

Somebody in my room?

Of course not. It's your room.

All right, then.

Give the boss some of the grapes.

Say you're sharing the gift you got from me.

It'll be nice to be in my own room again.

What'll we do with the grapes upstairs?

Don't ask me!

Brother...

It's Hiroshi. Hiroshi, Tora's back!

Welcome home, Brother.

Hi, Hiroshi!

Some grapes from the boss's wife.

So many?

I'll make tea.

Here're more grapes.

They're sour. Who brought them?

Brother. They're his present.

Hiroshi.

Yes.

How's the boss?

Fine. He's at the tax office.

While you sit here bitching about grapes...

Whether they are sweet or sour...

He has to run around worrying about business.

Poor guy!

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Welcome!

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Uncle's here.

Hi, Mitsuo.

You got big.

Greet him.

Huh?

What's wrong with him? What did he say?

It was English. He's taking English lessons.

His teacher lived in America. She's a good teacher.

English is the fad.

So Mitsuo's studying English.

What did you learn today?

Dad means "Father."

And Mom?

What about Uncle?

Uncle?

Uncle means...

Do you call your uncle "Tiger" in English?

I didn't know.

What about Aunty?

Tiger is a beast. Tora means tiger.

It's a pun.

Get me the newspaper.

Yeah? Mitsuo made a pun in English?

Great!

How do you say "lion" in English?

Lion is "lion" in English, too.

It's just an English word anyway.

I see.

Shall we eat?

Have some beer.

How do you say "beer" in English?

That's English, too.

How about "cup"?

It's also English.

Let's forget about English and eat.

Aunty.

It's the boss.

Have you seen the evening paper? A tiger escaped.

Hi, Tora. I heard you were back.

How are you?

I'm fine.

They're arguing about shooting it.

In my opinion, they should kill it.

That's mean.

Why? It's only a beast.

Amateurs have no right trying to keep tigers.

I agree.

That's enough about tigers.

Stupid!

Why can't I talk about tigers?

Here's another one that we have.
