She did?

Do you mean it? Are you sure?

Is it true?

All right!

Bring her here at once

Hurry up!

Bring her here!

Right away!

You wanted me?

Come over here!

What is it?

What are you doing?

You filthy...!

You want to ruin my son?

I told you to lay off, didn't I?

I didn't do anything

A great boy he is.

Having an actress for a mistress

Don't call him names, you!

Like father, like son!

Are you angry now?

Serves you right

The world is a wheel

You can't always be lucky

I want you to remember that!

What?

Remember it yourself!

You slut! You fool!

I don't want to see you again!

Go away!

- Wait a second

- What! Let go!

Do you hate me as much as that?

What?

Don't you see why I had to?

You kept the truth

about that woman from me

Feel for me!

Now we're even

Let bygones be bygones

and come round

Let's be friends again

We're stranded.

Let's not quarrel now

Shut up. There's no point

After all you did!

I'm through with you!

Master! Wait!

The fool!

The slut!

Why are you so quiet tonight?

What is it?

It's terrible

Pull yourselves together

Get me another drink

- Do you have money?

- No problem

Eh, Sister?

- Me too, then

- Me too

- Do you have?

- What?

Money

You know I don't.

Don't make me blush

Do you agree?

Terrible guy

Don't paw me like that,

you terrible man

What?

I'm not doing anything

What are you talking about?

Terrible

Let's get out of here

Where are our drinks?

No money, no drinks

Listen...

...why is the Master

lingering on like this?

That manager will never come back

I know.

That's why I've been thinking

- About what?

- Forget it

What's on your mind?

Tell me

Have you ever done that before?

Yes, once.

With Ohmi & Company

I see. Me too

- And you?

- What?

Not so loud

Let's go before it's too late

We can use the money

in the Master's purse

I won't

Listen. Why must we

be loyal to him endlessly?

I disagree with you!

Yes, sir!

Though I won't stop you

Not so loud, please

I have a penetrating voice!

Though I won't tell on you

Shall we drop the idea?

Maybe we should

Yes, of course

Why trifle with the Master?

After owing him so much!

A man who is ungrateful...

...is not a human being at all

You guys disgust me!

I never realized...

...that you two were such bad boys

After being together for years

I'll really be mad!

I know how you feel

It was ungrateful of us

to think of it

Yes, I guess it was

Naturally!

Now, Kichi.

We've changed our minds

So come round

Drop your silly ideas...

...and try to live like human beings

Very well. I'm sorry

Let's drink

Give us three drinks, will you?

Do you have it?

Don't worry

Preparing for the worst,

I'd put this aside

So you have a nest egg?

Is that all?

A paper charm

against pickpockets too

Get us three drinks

Here she is

Get me a drink

Make it hot

Here's an angel

Evening, Miss Sumiko

So you've been here, boys

No news from the manager yet?

No, nothing

Chances are

he won't come back anymore

What a bad fellow he is!

Where are our drinks?

What about this?

What do you think?

What do you say?

Is that all you can do?

This is the best we can do

That's the very best, mind you

I see

Only that much

Can't help it

Enough for railway fares

Very well

Let's do it again

Was the camera

all you were robbed of?

And a lighter

Kichi owes me lots of money

Too bad for the Master.

He had his purse stolen

What a terrible fellow.

I'll kill him if I see him

I got sort of suspicious of him

He'd never been straight, either

That's right

He even stole my charm

against pickpockets!

He stole all I had.

Terrible fellow!

Tell me, Sensho

What is your plan for the future?

What is to become of us?

Your cup is empty, Yatazo

Thank you, sir

How about you?

I must ask your forgiveness...

...for this situation

But every cloud has a silver lining

I'll inform you

when I make a new start

I want you to join me,

if you're free then

Where are you planning to work,

Kamenosuke?

My brother-in-law is running

a pickle shop at Hamamatsu

I see

And you?

I'll go and see my former employer

He may hire me again

Good

A bath-house owner, isn't he?

Yes, he is

Those who can quit the stage

had better do so

You say you'll go to school again?

Yes, sir...

...as a working student if possible

We're going to be broken up...

...but I want you

to remember me sometimes

We've had hard times...

...but we've had good times, too

Master

Let's go merrily. This isn't a wake

Good idea. Yes, let's

Why don't you join us, Miss Sumiko?

This is a farewell party

- Please, Miss

- Come here

Please sit here

- What happened to Kayo?

- What happened?

Play merrily, auntie

Master...

...why can't you

be nice to Miss Sumiko?

Well, old Sensho...

...and you, Roku

We've been together

for a long, long time, haven't we?

Yes, sir

He's speaking to you

We've been through thick and thin

I'm afraid I was rather strict

with you sometimes

We've been together for many years

Forgive me...

...if I was

Grandpa

Grandpa

What happened, Grandpa?

We're in a mess

What happened?

We've broken up

My goodness. Really?

The impresario tried to help me up...

...but it was in vain

He's been very kind to me

Why don't you come in?

Where is Kiyoshi?

Weren't you with him?

No, I wasn't

A young person came for him

with your message

- A young person?

- A girl

And he went out?

Yes, with her

What's the matter?

This is terrible

What is it?

Kiyoshi...

...he's ruined, I'm afraid

What happened?

What did he do?

This is horrible

What in the world did Kiyoshi do?

Tell me!

TAMARUYA INN:

A penny for your thoughts

Are you sorry?

Of course not.

I brought you here

- But...

- But what?

It was my fault

We shouldn't have come

Why?

You must never have dealt

with a girl like me

I'm not good enough for you

The Master must be angry

Why do you say that?

My uncle has nothing to do with it

You told me you wanted to go

to college and study, didn't you?

Good idea

Do so by all means...

...or else you'll be sorry afterwards

Then you're sorry?

I needn't go to college

I think I'll take you to Mother

She'll consent to our plan

- Even if she won't, I'll...

- Please

Drop that idea

Go home like a good boy.

Go home to your mother

Do so by all means

What for?

Why?

We're to part.

To break up for good

What will become of you?

The troupe's been broken up

Forget it.

Forget about a girl like me

I can get by, some way or other

Don't be silly!

Go home, for mercy's sake

I beg you to

Please

Please go home... Please...

Where did he go, anyway?

Like father, like son

Fast worker

I didn't know that

I thought he was

better than me at all points

I'm afraid...

...I was too optimistic

about the whole thing

I'm beaten hollow this time

All my plans have gone to pieces

Listen, darling

You're imagining too much

Look here...

...what can you expect

when he eloped...

...with a girl like this?

I mean it.

I'm disappointed in him
