An Inn at Osaka Page #6

---

I can't do that.

Don't take it the wrong way.

I just wanted you

to help me personally...

...with this job for

Tokumei Kumiai.

Because I value you very much.

- Please.

- No. I refuse.

I see...

All right. We'll talk about

this another day. Ok?

By the way, the president

of Daiwa Kimiko...

...has arrived to Osaka.

He says that the manager of his

branch office knows you very well.

You must come with us

tonight.

I can't do that.

What are you saying?

Do you mean to say that this

isn't part of your work?

Take it easy!

They say you are much sought after

in Kitashinchi.

Everybody knows.

Hello?

You can go now.

Don't forget about tonight.

No, no...!

I wasn't speaking with you.

Mita, you have a visitor.

What's the matter?

Orika is leaving.

Why?

As soon as she came home

she started crying.

She said she couldn't

separate from her husband.

Where has she gone?

To a restaurant in Sonezaki,

she said.

Really?

I think that girl

will never be happy.

- But she makes me a bit envious.

- How's that?

Although she drags a hard life,

at least she has a love.

What a dirty handkerchief!

Your eyes are swollen.

You must have slept too much.

How rude you are.

What do you think

about this young lady?

Mr Mita...

Here.

This sir is very silent.

No, he is a successful guy.

Really?

If I was like you...

Good night.

I'm sorry for the delay.

Well!

We were waiting for you.

She is...

- ...the famous Uwabami.

- Uwabami.

You have taken a long time, eh?

Mita.

- Thanks for this afternoon.

- You are welcome.

Pass me this glass.

Hey, don't attend only to Mita.

We are here, too.

This gentleman is the president

of our company.

Really? I am very shy

with strangers.

Stranger?

Do you remember that

you spilled sake on my face?

Don't tell me you've forgotten it.

How stupid of me, to waste a delicious

sake on such an awful face.

Anything wrong, Mita?

You are so serious.

- Drink this sake.

- Uwabami,

tonight Mita is the one

smothering you with attentions.

Oh, really? Is that also included

in his payroll?

If you want to be generous,

here's a lot of geishas for you.

That's right.

If you are a geisha, why don't you

show us your art?

Very well.

Here I go!

Oh, you are here, too.

I have given it up.

- What?

- My executive job.

- Have they fired you?

- That's right.

I struggled honestly

to benefit the company.

So I don't regret.

But poor Mr Imoto...

Mr Imoto?

- Haven't you heard about it?

- No, I haven't.

Have a look at it.

Suicide...

Your boss was the cause.

How?

Taiheiyoko...

...broke because your boss,

suddenly,

demanded from Mr. Imoto

that he returned...

...the loan he had given him

at awfully high interest.

Is that true?

Mr Imoto was

a mild-mannered gentleman.

That's why he couldn't

evade duty.

Mr Imoto is said

to have four children.

Oh, you are here, Mr Executive!

I am no longer one.

It would be wrong if the star

of the farewell party weren't around.

THE PRESIDENT OF TAIHEIYOKO,

MR IMOTO, COMMITTED SUICIDE

Where have you been?

Sir...

I'm leaving.

Why?

What's wrong with you?

You seem very pale to me.

This is not a business party,

is it?

Have you already heard?

As you have come tonight,

you are an accomplice of

Tokumei Kumiai, too.

You can't leave.

Sir...

...do you know this?

- Do you mean Imoto?

- Imoto?

It's been published by the press.

What a foolish act!

- Sir...

- What?

- Mr Noro, sing us something.

- Ok.

How fascinating...

...the way you drink, Mita.

What a taste you have.

I am so sorry.

Thank you for inviting me.

Sir...

...do you know why Mr Imoto

committed suicide?

What do you mean?

They say because of a lover.

Appearances can be deceptive.

Why don't you shut up?

Mita, don't hold yourself back.

It doesn't matter if

he is your boss.

We are in a democratic country.

This is not the right moment.

Sir...

Do you have a heart?

What have you said?

If you have one,

you have to take over responsibilities

for Mr Imoto's family.

Hey...

You've overdone it.

He's your boss.

Shut up.

It's none of your business.

Mr Noro...

Mind your own business.

Generally bosses...

...listen to the opinions

of their subordinates...

...and keep the best ones.

That's the way one usually

treats subordinates.

Don't you think so,

manager?

You're a pain in the neck.

You talk too much.

Does it bother you?

All right.

I don't care.

Come on, drink this sake.

I don't feel like it.

If want someone to drink,

why don't you give it to Mita?

What a coward.

All right.

Drink it this way.

MR MITA KYOICHI,

WE ARE GOING TO TRANSFER YOU

TO THE CENTRAL OFFICE IN TOKYO.

-How unlucky to be loved by a geisha.

The woman is a temptress.

-Stuff and nonsense.

Mr Mita doesn't contribute so many

benefits to the firm anyway.

Is that why he is transferred

to Tokyo?

Thank you very much.

So you want to go?

To Mr Mita's farewell party.

Yes.

I'd like to.

Madam!

The bill of room number

two, please.

Has it been a two-hour rest?

- This girl brought yesterday

a different man.

- Good. This is a business.

It's good for us. We can use the same

room several times a day.

- Collect the tip separately.

- Ok.

Madam...

Go now if you want to leave.

Tell Mr Mita that he will have to pay

if his luggage is in his room.

You must return before eight pm!

All right!

Welcome.

Oyone!

Welcome!

This way, please.

SEKAIICHI RESTAURAN I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I told my husband that we will work

hard to turn him into a good cook.

Orika, stop it.

Let's forget everything.

Right, Mr Mita?

Right.

I want you to be happy.

All right.

Come on, Orika,

bring us our meals.

Orika...

Tomorrow, Mr Mita will go back

to Tokyo by train.

Let's have a good time.

- You are right.

- Yes.

Listen, Mr Mita...

I am awfully sorry that

you are leaving.

I'm sure it's one of your big bosses'

fault. Who might that be?

I like you.

All right?

Thanks.

Take much care of yourself.

And you too, Otsugi.

All right... Thanks.

Mr Mita...

Although I don't know

your mother,

- give my regards to her.

- Thank you very much.

Here, Ossan.

I am sorry to be so late.

Today you are the customer.

It's true. It's a servant's habit.

Tonight we are customers!

Give me this.

Don't worry.

We were expecting you.

I ran across Uwabami

on my way.

We've come together.

Good night.

Thanks for coming.

Enough.

Tonight we'll have

a good time.

Uwabami said she wasn't going

to drink tonight.

Mr Mita...

Am I to blame for your transfer?

No, it's not because of that.

Don't worry.

Really?

I'm sorry.

That night I got angry

because I felt sorry for you.

I did something awful.

We understand you.

Let's forget it.

What a relief.

I will drink then.

- You don't mind, do you?

- No, I don't mind.

- But don't spill it over anyone tonight.

- How funny.

You can spill it over me

if you want to.

It will be an honour.

Take your glass.

We are all here

except for Omitsu.

Oh, Omitsu...
