POST-WAR LIFE EXPECTANCY

1945:
46.9 (M), 49.6 (F)

A LIFE OF 80 YEARS

IS NOT A DREAM:

- Bye.

- Yes.

- I'll work all night.

- Yes.

- Remember to lock up.

- Yes.

You always forgot!

Yes.

Bye.

When will you get

your retirement pay?

August 15.

- What?

- What do you want to buy?

Bought them yesterday.

- What did you buy?

- A 26-inch TV,

air-con, scooter, double bed.

- Double bed?

- Yes!

It'll be here these few days.

- What is it?

- You live too long!

Really?

Don't jiggle your feet!

Go to work now!

1965:
67.74 (M), 72.92 (F)

Good evening.

It's so hot!

It's so hot, and you

want to do something?

Not me.

It's so hot I got mad!

Hey you!

Who are you?

Me?

Independent delinquent.

What?

It's so hot but you're so gloomy!

You want to...

"do something to me?"

You're not running, so...

you want to do something?

1980:
73.32 (M), 78.83 (F)

What? It isn't just now that

women live longer?

It's ever since the war!

They live 5 years more!

What? Look!

Oh, I see.

That's perfect.

- Why?

- My lover is...

5 years older than me.

She's a bar madam.

We'll die together!

Idiot! You look cool, but...

there's a rumour that

you'll go back to Traffic.

"Beep beep.

10 km over, license please!"

People also say someone

here will leave soon.

Who is leaving?

You, sir!

You!

- Nakamachi, how old are you?

- Twenty-seven.

- What?

- 27.

27?

Look.

It's now 73.32 years.

It was 46.9 years in 1945.

Look!

27 years more!

You were just a sperm

during the war.

That's why a parasite, tapeworm,

braided rope, bar madam.

But what do you want to say?

I mean,

being a cop is footwork!

Run all your life!

That's what I mean.

Why are you running?

How about here?

Yumi!

Yumi!

Let's...

do it!

Let's do it!

Let's do it!

Let's do it!

Yumi!

Yumi!

Help!

Help!

Fool.

With you pants down,

you chased a woman

whose dress was rolled up.

Right?

- Right.

- You did.

It's OK the other way around.

I see.

I, with dress rolled up, chased

a girl with her jeans down.

- Yes.

- What's your motive?

Why did you do that?

Because the sun was too bright.

No jokes!

It was night!

It's The Stranger of Camus, sir.

Camus?

Brandy?

About time.

What time?

About time to go home.

You fool!

We arrested you for attempted rape!

By my mom and brother,

Tamiko and Maru were waiting.

Maru is...

a cat?

A dog.

Female Maltese.

Tamiko is a female cat?

She's a female, no,

she's a maid.

5 years older than me.

Enough!

You'll spend the night here!

- I hate this.

- What?

Like an elderly home.

Shut up and go inside. Punk!

Young man, what did you do?

Assault... on a woman.

Succeeded, or not?

No.

Tight foreskin?

Tight foreskin?

And,

she's a virgin?

Not that close...

So you didn't meet the enemy,

that is, the hymen?

You didn't get to the hymen?

- I didn't.

- So...

To dispel the heat,

I'll teach you that.

In histology,

that membrane is just

a group of cells.

In chemistry,

it's a kind of protein,

a combination of the atoms of...

carbon, hydrogen,

nitrogen and sulphur.

In biology,

it has no raison d'etre,

no reason to exist.

Usually, it just takes

10 grams of force...

to pierce through it.

But it could be difficult

for a beginner like you.

Prime Minister.

You're a law grad from Tokyo U.,

but you're not a dandy.

Education Minister,

don't praise me like that.

I just remember what I learned...

in my forensics lessons.

I'm ashamed to admit that.

You're...

still a virgin?

Well...

I feel ashamed to say this...

What minister are you?

Cabinet Secretary.

I envy you.

- Teiso? (Virginity)

- Virginity?

Mail Minister.

I envy you too.

A virgin.

You still have your cherry.

- Keep it well.

- Really?

Yes.

I don't want to keep it!

I wanted to lose it tonight!

That's not right,

Foreign Minister?

It's very wrong.

We did that

in the brothel back then.

At 20, boys took a body exam for

military service. After that,

we all went to the brothel,

and lost our cherries

as if they're trash.

It wasn't gratifying.

Only a feeling of emptiness...

remained.

The student price

in Shinjuku 1-cho was...

1.5 yen.

Too much!

It's just 1.2 yen in Tamanoi.

Whatever...

losing it like that,

you'll also throw away

that sense of gratitude.

Really?

Really!

Foreign Minister.

How's your morning glory lately?

Morning glory?

Will it get up?

No.

I see.

So, Education Minister...

you still have it?

No...

Oh.

I want to try it some other time.

Eels, or potions?

No!

I'll eat something good

before sleeping.

That's bad for your stomach.

But good for a boner.

At least I'll have...

a boner while sleeping.

I'll have a dazzling dream.

Dazzle...

you mean... a wet dream?

Yes.

But,

the semen...

is just some gas...

like this.

That's it.

But it's not liquid?

Air.

Empty.

Empty?

What's so funny?

Nothing.

Laugh at yourself.

- You are?

- Army Minister.

Sir! I hate this place!

Put me somewhere else!

So noisy!

Shut up or I'll knock...

your uvula out.

This...

is a detention cell, right?

Yes. The so-called pigsty.

You think this is the madhouse?

- Right?

- Yes.

You guys...

Listen. I'm serious...

really serious.

We're all ministers...

of a tiny and

independent country,

seriously.

That's a bit...

no, very...

funny, right?

The Japanese government isn't?

It's reliable?

- It...

- ...isn't!

Lots of lies, lots of deception.

- Internal quarrels.

- Also towards foreign countries.

Not handsome.

But easy to draw.

Shut up.

Or you'll smell gunpowder.

Aren't you the Army Minister?

So what?

That's also a question of looks.

A matter of physiognomy.

What?

Now...

it's become obvious.

The problem began when the Three

Anti-Nuclear Principles were changed.

They've lied to us...

for 26 years.

We're bored,

so we set up this independent state.

It's half serious, half for fun.

An "Independence Game".

Then a "Cabinet Game".

That's how it started.

I'm the eldest,

so I'm the Prime Minister.

Foreign Minister...

should be you, Hota.

You were an insurance salesman.

Asaya, you sold stationery.

Education Minister.

Takikawa, you were a postman.

Mail Minister.

Cabinet Secretary.

You're the youngest.

You were a kimono store head.

Mochida, it's you.

With that,

things went smoothly, but...

What's wrong, Prime Minister?

Kodaira.

During the war,

you were on a suicide squad.

Before your mission,

the war ended.

Now you go in and out of prison.

Up to now, 7 times.

No.

Sorry.

After 8 times,

you're now a good citizen.

How about the Health Minister?

You like that?

No.

I want to be Chief of Police.

That's sarcastic.

Cynical and funny!

Thinking in the same direction,

Army Minister is more interesting!
