Sakaguchi Securities

- Itsuka-kun

- Yes?

These are for you.

Thank you very much.

Sugai-san, here's the money

you lent me. Thanks a lot.

- Your help was precious all this time.

- I'm thankful to you.

- Take care of yourself.

- You too

It looks like everything's

cleaned up now.

Well...

I know how rough this must be

on all of you,

but I'd like you to forget

and forgive.

We did what we could,

but our parent company lost its assets,

there wasn't much we could do.

I understand how long and hard

all of you have worked,

and it's truly unfortunate that

you'll lose your jobs because of this.

I sincerely apologise

for allowing this to happen.

Nevertheless, I'd like all of you

to do your best to get over this.

It isn't much I know,

but here's a little bit for all of you

to go out drinking.

Kondo-san.

Thank you very much.

- Thank you very much.

- Take care everyone.

Sugai-san, shall we be going?

Alterations and Repair

Here you go.

You're probably tired of me bothering

you every night about this,

but I can't give up on it.

But I just can't let that much money

go down the drain.

Sorry to have caused you so much trouble.

I apologise for that.

If we had any money at all,

I wouldn't be bothering you about it.

But I'm just a low-ranking guy

at a no-name printing outfit.

Please, lend me some money.

Ok, but we don't have any.

I don't know much about stocks,

but Sugai told me it's the best way

to make money, so I believed him.

Sorry about that.

I wonder...

What if I had just put the money

in a postal savings account.

But can't you do something?

Sugai seems to be doing just fine

at Sakaguchi.

I don't know anything

about investments.

Please, excuse me.

Tell your father to come right away,

we have a guest.

I know this will seem rude,

but here's 200 yen.

Please, accept it.

Why are you giving me this?

Please, don't be upset.

I can't accept that money,

no matter how much I might need it.

I wasn't meaning to insult you.

I had put a little bit of money

in a postal savings account,

just in case I needed it.

I took out half of it today.

My husband doesn't know about it

Kanemura-san, we can't undo

what has been done,

but we've caused you a lot of trouble.

- Please, accept this money.

- I can't just take that.

I insist. Please, take half.

I don't want it.

I've brought up all sorts of unpleasantness.

Not at all.

Put your money away.

I understand how you feel.

That's good enough.

Father!

What is it?

We have a guest and Mother ask you

to come home.

Thank for your time.

Don't say anything to Sugai.

- Please, take this....

- No, no.

"Life is long..."

Sugai-san.

Oh, Kanemura-san.

I'm really sorry about that.

What are you talking about?

You know, tonight I understood

just how good your wife is.

I'm not going to do any more complaining.

Do your best.

Sorry.

Tomorrow is Friday, right?

I have calligraphy, math, gym, and science.

Make sure you don't forget anything.

Go to bed

What is it?

When will it be all right?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean...

Can I go?

Ah... you mean the summer camp?

It's OK, right?

Didn't we say you'd go next year?

You can go while

in the sixth grade, right?

But father lost his job.

Are you worried about that?

Just because Father lost his job

doesn't mean he can't get

another job somewhere else.

So it's all right, then?

Your father is back

You'd better go to bed.

Welcome back.

- Could you get me some water?

- Yes.

I guess I'll be joining

the lumpenproletariat tomorrow.

Two, three, four...

Eight fishes.

We had twelve yesterday.

Isn't it, dad?

These are good stewed.

You want some?

It'd be OK, wouldn't it?

Give her half of it.

- Yumiko, how is your father? Is he all right?

- Yes.

Tell him I said hello.

- Here you go.

- Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Yumiko's family is going to Kagetsuen,

next Sunday.

Shall we go somewhere?

- Yes, we can go fishing next Sunday.

- I don't want to go fishing!

She says there is many things

to do at Kagetsuen.

It's time to eat

Wash your hands.

I'll take you somewhere soon.

- Really?

- Of course!

I think I'll go out somewhere tomorrow.

Go out?

I can't just hang around here all the time

Do you have something lined up?

No.

But there must be someone out there.

Tokyo is a big city.

This is rough for you.

What are you talking about?

I'll leave the house with you tomorrow.

- For work?

- Yes.

You should take some of those fishes

for your lunch. They're good.

How many are there?

- Four.

- Well, I'll take half of it.

Working in a factory, right?

There are openings for workforce.

You're in good health, right?

Well, I'm not sure I can do that...

Otherwise, we look for insurance agents.

Well, I'll be back again tomorrow.

Mr. Yamane.

How was it today?

The same as ever,

insurance or working in a factory.

Can you do insurance?

My old job was a bit like that.

A person in my position has done

a lot of those kind of jobs.

I'm going to see one more place.

Oh, that sounds rough.

Well, see you later

Why don't you go to bed?

It's 10 already.

You have to get up early again, tomorrow.

You seem pretty tired.

Do you feel all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

I forgot... this is for you.

Tomorrow, I have nothing planned.

I'm going to relax.

I'm not.

It'd be really terrible,

if something happened to you.

You have to stay in good health.

Shgo needs you.

You know, it won't always be this rough.

- Things will get better.

- I know.

You should be thankful to be

in good health.

It makes you think.

From here on,

I'm going to work harder.

Today it was really pathetic.

The "Pikkari Eki" job?

It's pretty tight at home,

but still...

I couldn't tell my wife that I was cleaning

the mirrors in barbershops.

That's for sure.

Do you really think there are decent jobs

out there?

I need to believe that there really are.

Who knows?

What about you, today?

I think I'll have a walk.

Attention!

At ease.

Up to today, you've all been

very lively and cheerful.

Cheerfulness is the most important for children.

And not only for children.

Men, especially Japanese men,

must never resign,

must always have the right spirit.

I think you all understand that quite well.

That's why I can leave you all

with peace of mind.

Tomorrow, I'll be transferred

to another school.

I don't know when I'll get back,

there is one important thing I want

you to remember:

you should never forget

what it feels like to be Japanese.

It's the only thing I want you

to remember from me.

Understood?

- Raise your hand, if you've understood.

- Yes!

That's the spirit.

You're all going to be good Japanese, right?

Look at that shine!

I'm not being rude, but you're going

to have to buy a bottle of this stuff.

The name of this cleaning product

is Pikkari Eki!

What do you think?

It sure is clean, isn't it?

The name is Pikkari Eki.

- This is good, Dad.
