Neko to Shôzô to futari no onna Page #3

Such a beautiful Moon must be

admired...

...in good company.

One doesn't come across

nights like this very often.

Youko. Youko, come on.

Let her stay a little more.

But, it's midnight!

It's very late. She must sleep.

Time is not that important.

Sometimes, it's better to forget about it.

How wise!

Don't you know me yet?

28 years have gone by.

Yes. You watch time go by.

I feel fine.

It's like we were immersed

in the Moon's light,

like we were inside

a blue crystal.

Well, I...

I feel like being on

the bottom of the sea.

I think that you and me,

we are very much alike.

Right now, I'm very happy.

So happy, I could fly.

Youko.

Youko.

Isn't the light back yet?

I'm bitten allover.

What are they doing?

D'you want a cigarette?

- Good night.

- Good night.

What happened to you?

Tell me.

Nothing happened to me.

- You're strange.

- Nothing happened to me!

- Let's go to bed.

- I don't feel like it.

- Why?

- Because I feel fine right here.

But, it's...

it's getting cold.

Let's go. You'll catch a cold here.

Being father's,

it's a masterpiece.

Well!

- Painters are so lucky.

- Why?

Because...

...because they can paint people

as they want.

If I could paint myself,

I'd make myself more beautiful.

You'd find that difficult,

you are very beautiful.

I wasn't referring to my face,

or body.

You mean to start anew.

Here you can start anew.

Youko?

A splendid Sunday.

- You came to invite me to go out?

- You've guessed.

Well, I might say yes.

- D'you want to go out with us?

- Where're you going?

Well, I think we'll go to the cinema,

and, then, buy some sweets.

Go for a walk

while we get ready.

Alone?

Why are you leaving?

We have a guest.

Doesn't matter.

I don't understand.

No. It's not that.

She's been treating me very badly,

lately.

She puts on lady's airs.

We have to sell this house.

What are you saying?

I thought it didn't bother you.

That you didn't spend

that much here.

Don't laugh.

It's alright she fakes it with them.

But, she also does it with me.

I got tired!

That's a good one!

- I'm leaving.

- What? She's ready.

It'll be better.

Thanks for all this.

What happened?

Tamai-san has fallen!

- Is he alright?

- Yes, he's alive!

Where're you going?

Where am I going?

To the cinema,

and have some tea, also.

I don't mind you go out with them.

But, have fun with me also.

Let's go to a spa.

I'm sorry, miss.

Are you ready?

Come, get in.

She is finishing getting ready.

How nice!

How lucky you are, miss Midori!

You have a lot of clothes.

I'd love having a kimono.

What kind of kimono?

Any kind,

less the ones my mother wears.

They are second-hand.

Youko!

- What?

- Shall we go?

How impatient you are!

She's putting on her make-up.

- Shall we play with the ball?

- Yes.

Listen,

we'll wait for you downstairs.

She's like a little child,

isn't she?

But she's your age,

isn't she?

Fujimoto pitching!

Be careful!

Why are you throwing so fast?

- You're a beast.

- I'm sorry!

You'll see now!

What are you doing? Poor shot!

- Shall I throw again?

- Yes, let's go.

My turn, now!

What a shot!

You're a disaster.

- I'm sorry. I'll go look for it.

- I'll go.

What's the matter?

I don't want to go out.

Why?

But they're waiting for you!

Hi! What a surprise!

How's miss doing today?

Don't call me "miss".

I've been feeling guilty, lately.

Come on, come on...

Let me sweeten your life with

some cookies.

If you want to treat me with something,

then, I want sake.

- What's the matter with you? You're

very strange. - Each time I feel worse.

What are you looking at?

Concubine!

Poor fellow.

- Who are you talking about?

- A cat. A wet cat.

It's only a cat.

You shouldn't get that sad.

I was thinking about my cat.

I'm sure it's soaking wet,

somewhere.

Don't worry,

cats can hide pretty much anywhere.

Let's move somewhere nicer,

where it doesn't rain.

It's not only here that's raining,

rain's falling everywhere.

I'm tired of living here.

Let's go,

this is an abandoned house.

Don't you like it here?

I don't like anything! I hate it!

I can't stay here even a day longer.

Please.

You got tired playing the miss.

Yes, I got tired.

Please, I beg of you.

Please! Say yes!

Where're you going?

I won't go on modelling for him.

- I'll go tell him this.

- It's a pity.

I can't stand doing things

I don't like!

I'd like tearing up

this painting!

Don't give me that!

These drawings are for children,

aren't they?

I've worked conscientiously.

The children will know that!

I did what I could so they'd be

suitable and they'd like them,

and now they want them more provocative,

so they can sell more.

You must understand we all

live on this.

Do you care more about business

than about what kids learn?

Calm down.

- Yes, calm down.

- I don't like this, d'you get me?

I won't tempt innocent children

with poisoned cakes.

Listen to me carefully,

I won't allow such an atrocity.

Give me the drawings.

Kumiko, give them to Koichi,

he'll have fun.

Fine, but there's a problem

you must settle.

The money,

we already gave to your wife

as an advance payment.

Please, return it.

But... it's that...

You don't have it?

Alright,

I'll come some other day.

I'm sorry. I'll pay it very soon.

I give you my word.

Excuse the intrusion, ladies.

I'm leaving. Farewell.

What's the matter, Koichi?

These are beautiful drawings.

Why are you crying?

Come on, don't cry.

There's no need for you

to get so upset.

Don't mind what he said.

You have to go on working.

You'll soon finish the portrait,

and you'll be able to exhibit it.

Get a grip on yourself,

our neighbour we'll soon come down.

I didn't know you also

had a little heart.

It's not about that.

- Confounded scoundrels! I hate them!

- Don't get angry.

We're celebrating.

What are you talking about?

My father's coming back!

Yes, it's a sure thing.

They've received a cable.

He arrives tomorrow.

Hi, Kumiko!

Hi, Youko!

Congratulations!

Thank you, Youko.

Such good news!

Yes. I'm very happy.

He hasn't written to us since Maizuru.

- Like always, he does it his way.

- Why d'you say that?

Because he didn't care how

worried we were.

Yes. I'm happy.

Since the cable came,

he only says:

"Yes. I'm happy, I'm happy."

There'll be a great party tonight.

We'll all celebrate him.

Mr. Kaneko and his daughter

have arrived.

I couldn't tell him.

It doesn't matter.

I'm happy, I'm happy.

So, will you clear off?

Kaneko's dealing with everything.

Someone else will take

care of this house,

and we'll find an apartment.

You can't imagine how tired I am.

You look so bad!

Did you see yourself?

You've let yourself be defeated

by this painter!

You can call him anyway you want,

because he's a third-rate painter.

He doesn't have a good job

and leads a miserable life.

Still, you are ashamed.

I don't know, if I think about it,

I feel the same way you do.

But, I also think the contrary.

What did you say?
