Even the moon is shadowed
once in a while
Easily shadowed into darkness
make me feel I am stabbing you
in the back.
Believe me, it's not easy
But try to understand, and divorce me
If you shun me, I'd rather die
I'm back
But I am
I'm home
Welcome back
Somebody here?
No
But I heard you
Forget it. You're back early today
Hey, come here!
What?
I picked up this kid
Where?
He followed me from Kudan
Homeless?
No, just lost. He's from Chigasaki
Let's put him up for the night
Don't bother with him
But I feel sorry for him
Why should we do that?
Let someone else do it
Take him to Tane
You won't put him up?
Not me. I hate kids
Really?
Leave him with Tane
He's a good kid
Not me. Take him over there
I see
Come on
Good evening
Good evening
Good evening
Hey, come here
You see, Tane
Do you like to have a kid?
I picked him up, and I want you
to take him in
What's all this?
He followed me from Kudan
And he won't leave me
will you put him up for the night?
Why don't you put him up?
Tamekichi is dead against it
If he doesn't, I won't
Don't say that, he told me to ask you
Let him stay, will you?
No thanks
Look, I'm asking you
No. I hate kids
Come on, have a heart
Hey, Mr. Tashiro, it's no joke
Please!
Hey, wait! This is no way
Here
Dry it with the fan
This is a mess. What can I do?
About what
That kid, he's a nuisance
I beg off taking care of him
What's wrong?
He wet the bed last night
Ruined a good mattress
Peed just like a horse
Some calamity
Where's Tashior?
He just left
It's all his fault
I'm not keeping the kid
so do something
Do what?
Keep him or send him away
it's up to you
I took him for one night
now it's your turn
Don't be silly
Who's being silly, just think!
You're responsible, too
Tashiro found him
so you keep him here
Not me, no thank you
The kid who pees like a horse
Why don't you kick him out?
Don't be stupid. Then, you do it
What a thing to pick up on the street
Let's ask Kawayoshi
Yes, let them take him, alright?
No, we can not
I have lots of work and kids
And not enough room
You've got enough room. A nice place
Raising 3 children or 4
makes no difference
It's not the same
How about your place?
My place is no good
Why is it no good?
Nothing wrong with it
Let him stay at your place
He could help you
That's right, let him stay
Oh, come on
Tashiro picked up a devil
I guess someone must take him back
to Chigasaki
Then, we can find his house
And leave him there
That's the best thing to do
How about it, Tane?
Fine, but not me
Oh, don't say that
No, count me out
But someone has to go
Then, you go
What do you say?
What do you say?
Will you go?
No kidding!
Some trouble Tashiro picked up
Alright, we'll draw lots
No hard feelings, whoever
gets the marked one will go
Alright
Kawayoshi, alright?
It's alright
I'll make the lots
The X mark is it
If you get it, you go
It's me!
So, it's you. Sorry
No hard feelings. Just luck
Tane, it's your luck
What luck?
On, come on, how about some tea?
You kidding?
Hey, mine's got an X too
That's right. Mine too
I get it
Keep it between us, alright?
Of course
It's a long trip. If she finds out
she'll kill us
We didn't know them well
He's a carpenter and his house
was destroyed
We just rented them a room
while he had a job here
For 10 days or so
Ah, I see
And a couple days ago,
He left with the kid looking
for work in Tokyo
Do you think he'll come back?
I don't think so
He took everything with him
The mover might know where he is
I don't know
Here
Your father's a hardhearted man, too
You didn't get lost, you were deserted
Why don't you stay at that house?
They'll keep you
You used to live there
Take it, there's no more
After eating, go to that house, alright?
What's this, now?
Look, be a good kid and get me
some shells
I want them for souvenirs
Go on, you're a good kid, go on, hurry
I'll bite you!
Fortune, physiognomy, palmistry
Can a fortuneteller really tell all that?
Sure. There's nothing else
as positive as that
But I saw you go out wearing rain boots
and it turned out to be
Weather isn't my business
the radio can tell you that
Welcome back
Oh, welcome back
I know it wasn't easy
Did it go well?
Nothing goes well
His parents aren't there
I wasted my time going to Chigasaki
Besides, the train was full
I got in through a window
I didn't know the train fare went up
Thanks, Tashiro
Sorry
What's he carrying?
Potatoes. I bought them cheap
by the station
I'd be damned if I came back
empty handed
Poor kid, he's worn out
Only 16 pounds
Did anyone come when I was out?
No, nobody
We'll have a regular meeting tonight
at Kawayoshi's
Oh, that's right
It's about time
Today's a lucky day for Kawayoshi
How's that?
His son won 2000 yen in the lottery
It's not bad at all
He'll treat us tonight, I hope
I hope so, too
I'll get rid of the potatoes now
Put the potatoes down
You can make a bed, can't you?
Go to bed early
Don't wet the bed again, you hear?
We want you to remain
head of our group
No, let me quit this time
Don't say that, you must do it
We'll help, but you must be the chief
Don't fight us
Everyone's asking you
So, that's settled
It's all settled, yes
Well, then, I guess I have to
Thank you
That's the final decision
Can I serve now?
Yes, bring it out
This is great!
You've prepared so much
This is not much but
Hey, Heichan, come here!
Congratulations, and thank you!
Heichan, you're great. He's a lucky boy
You've got to be good or
luck won't come to you
Luck will fall on a pure minded person
Is that so?
That's right. You can't win
if you wanted 2000 yen
That's why kids win
Is that so?
You try, you won't win
If I can't, you won't either
That's why I don't do it
But I go to the race track
It depends on horses
Please, everyone
Yes, let's start
I don't see any tea leaves
This is the real sake!
This is good. Let's drink and have fun
Tashiro, I hear you're good at
peep story telling
Well
Peep?
You know, this
One can't judge people by the surface
I thought you were decent!
What're you trying to say?
Remember the peep show at fairs?
Ah, you mean that!
I used to love it so much that
I got trachome
Not trachome, it's trachoma
Tashiro, sing it
Don't bring it up now
Sing it, Tashiro. Please
That's something I must see
Come on, do it
Come one, Tashiro, I beg you
'"Come and see it, the show is open'"
Well, then
It happened in Tokyo
a naval ensign in the big city...
fell deeply in love with
an army general's daughter
The first child of Viscount Kataoka
Her name was Namiko
oh, what a beauty
She married the ensign
Baron Takeo Kawashima
They honeymooned at Ikaho
And when tired of the game
they returned to Tokyo
