Tora-san's Forget Me Not (男はつらいよ 寅次郎忘れな草)

A Shochiku Film

Father, take care of yourself.

The same to you. Keep well.

Don't waste your time.

We have to walk a long way.

Dad...

Osaku!

Hirokichi!

Forgive me.

This is all I've collected for three days.

I'm no good after all.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Gold coins!

Wait. You're...

Brother!

You're mistaken.

I'm a stranger here. I travel from village to village.

Forgive her for the mistaken identity.

He's a stranger.

Mr. Traveler, I have a truant son your age.

His name is Torajiro.

He rebelled against the Shogun and was on the run.

That's why he left home.

I wonder where he is and what he's doing.

I heard your story.

Times are bad.

Many hungry wolves are looking for lambs.

Damn you!

This money can't clear their debt.

Shall we kill him?

Yes.

Stop yapping. Go outside.

Osaku.

The day will come when you can see your brother again.

We believe it.

Farewell.

Tora!

Heaven knows best. Remember that.

Bra vo!

Japan 's best!

Wido w-killer!

Look, it's raining.

Spring drizzle.

Let's get wet.

Here you are.

Take care of the shop.

That's a swallow.

The swallows came back to Iseya's shed this year.

He almost broke their nest last year.

He was glad he kept it.

I'm glad, too.

I wonder how swallows remember their nests.

How about your square-faced swallow? Will he come back?

Maybe he's forgotten his nest.

Even his father's memorial day?

He never remembers that. He's a bad son.

When did we last see him?

Last autumn. It's been a long time.

How long will this last?

Some swallow he is!

Sorry I'm late.

It hasn't started yet? I'm glad.

I was at the tax office.

Thank you for coming, High Priest.

Thanks for coming.

It's so hot!

Let's start.

Sakura!

Uncle's dead at last?

I didn't know.

Forgive me.

Uncle!

You're alive?

Then Aunty?

Sakura's alive.

Hiroshi too.

Then who's dead?

Did Octopus finally die?

Oh? You're alive?

Who's dead?

Is the service for me? No. I'm alive.

Idiot! For your father.

It's our father's memorial day.

Oh, that?

A service day for my old man? Rubbish!

Where have you been? Did you forget his memorial day?

And you're his only son.

Who remembers that?

Welcome home.

His father's spirit brought him back.

Sit down here.

I heard the sutra, like a funeral. I was surprised.

Now we're together.

Everybody...

Congratulations.

Hello?

May I help you?

What's funny?

Hey! Stop it!

You mean I spoiled the service?

Who else?

That's one thing you can't blame on me.

I didn't laugh. You did.

You can't say that.

You laughed, too, Hiroshi. You were as red as a monkey.

You made me laugh.

You didn't have to laugh.

You laughed on your own.

Why did you make us laugh?

Why did you laugh?

Your face was funny.

You mean your own nephew has a funny face?

The funniest of all.

Am I funny?

Sure.

Then laugh.

I will.

You call that laughing? What?

Your face makes me laugh.

Good night.

Leaving?

Stay a while.

Behave yourselves. You have neighbors.

You made her mad.

You're to blame.

What?

Why me?

Because you made me laugh.

You didn't have to laugh.

Wise up.

You forced me to laugh.

Wise up. It was you who laughed. Why did you?

Because your face was funny.

That's not my fault.

That's enough.

Give me more sake.

No sake.

You took it away!

That's a piano. How nice.

I'm back.

Welcome home. Did you have fun?

Why are you sighing?

I wish I could at least have a piano.

Is your door too small for it?

No room for it in our apartment.

The landlord forbids it.

Too heavy?

No. Too much noise.

He's so nosy.

How about lunch?

I'm hungry.

What's wrong?

Did you fight each other?

Sakura wants a piano.

Why don't you help her?

You want a piano?

For Mitsuo.

He's a boy.

That's why.

A piano has been Sakura's dream.

Why don't you buy her one?

Not so easy.

Why not? You work from morning until night.

You still can't afford it?

Poor boy.

Poverty isn't our responsibility.

Whose, then?

Your boss?

It's not that.

Japanese laborers in their present situation...

All right. Stop lecturing!

Anyway, don't fight during the day.

Behave yourselves.
