That's right.
Of course.
You're not interested in guys, curious about sex?
Not interested in men or curious about sex?
Not at all!
Not at all.
What I can't stand
I can't stand to see girls hanker after filthy rich middle-aged men.
is how girls confuse sex with money and go after rich middle-aged men.
They're innocent enough at the start, but if that guy had been smarter...
Even if they don't know they're doing it.

Don't you hate me?
You don't hate me, do you?
You didn't do it because you hate me?

At first, I was angry.
I was a little angry.
But not only at you.
But not just at you.
At who then?
At what, then?
Everyone!
Everything.
You asked me why I came.

Are they clear now?
I wanted to set things straight.
We were exhausted. We came here to rest.
Is it all clear now?
Rent, please!
We were tired, so we came here to rest a bit.
Put it on my tab.

That's 700 yen.
How much is it?
You're looking chipper.
You seem very happy.
Fresh catch of the day? Where are you going to sleep with her?

- I already did.
- I already did that.
- You work fast!
You work fast.
Ready to dump her?
Are you ready to dump her?
Want some advice?
Do you need help?
You could make a lot of money off her.
Could be a good way to make some dough.

Call me.

I don't have a phone. This is my friend's number.

My sister.
Mr. Fujii brought me home. This is my older sister.
Mr Fujii took me home. My sister.

Bye.
- See you.
What happened? Your clothes are a mess.
- Goodbye.
- I fell in the water.
What happened? You look a mess.
- I fell into the water.
- How?
- How?
We rented a motorboat. It was fun.
We hired a motorboat by the seaside. It was fun.

No.

Tell me.
You'd better tell me.
You're going home? I'm staying a while.
Are you going home?
See you tomorrow.
I'm staying a bit longer. See you tomorrow.
Go away! It's over between us!
Go away.
It's over between us.
Sorry about the other day.
Sorry about the other day.
Kiyoshi said he'd be late.
Kiyoshi will be late, but I know where he is.
I know where he is though.
You're lucky.
That's lucky for you.
Tutor, there's a call for you.
There's a call for you, sir.
Guess who it is.
Know who this is?
It's me, Makoto.
Makoto.
You didn't call me.
Why haven't you called?
I wanted to break up.
I didn't want to see you anymore.
What? Why?
Why not?
For what reason?
Tell me.
No special reason.
No special reason.
Actually, I'm seeing some dumb broad.
Listen, I'm seeing another woman.
Nice girls like you should stay away from guys like me.
A nice girl like you should stay away from guys like me.
That night we met, I was coming back from seeing her at a hotel.
The night I met you, I'd just slept with her at the hotel.
Just meet me once more.
Let's meet one more time at least.
We'd better not.
We'd better not.
Yes, you have to.
No, you have to see me.
You said you liked me, didn't you?
You said you liked me.
Hello? It's me.
Hey, it's me. Sorry, but I told her where you are.
Sorry. It just slipped out.
Why take her to your room if she was only a one-night stand?
Besides, why'd you bring her home if it was a one-time thing?
You liked her, didn't you?
You still wanted her, didn't you?
Anyhow, see you at the bar.
I'll be waiting at the Black Cat.
Are you worried because she called?
Are you upset because she called?
Of course.
Yeah.
- Do you want to see her?
- Do you want to see her?
- Yes.
- Yes.
But you won't, will you?
But you won't, will you?
Why not?
Why not?
- I'm going.
- I'm going.
- I won't let you!
- I won't let you go.
Who's he?
Who's he?
- Maybe he's not coming.
- Maybe he's not coming.
- He'll come.
- He'll come.
You can't trust men.
You can't trust men.
You can trust me.
You can trust me.
It's late. I'd better get home.
It's so late, I'd better go home.
Are you staying?
Will you wait for him?
Why don't you wait in his room?
Better wait in his room.
I'm taking her home.
I'll take Yoko home.
That's okay.
There's no need.
- But three's a crowd.
- I'll be in their way.
- That's true.
- Maybe you're right.
Will you be okay on your own?
Will you be OK on your own?
I'll be fine.
- Yes, no problem.
- OK, bye.
See you.
See you.
Goodbye.
Miss, where are you going?
Hey, young lady, where you headed?
- You want to go dancing?
Want to go dancing?
- No.
- No.
- Come on. We know all about you.
Come on, we know about you.
- Hang out with us.
- Play the game.
- I can't dance.
- I can't dance.
- But I'll have a drink.
- But I'll have a drink.
- Great!
- Good.
Let's go.
A toast to friendship.
Here's to new acquaintances.
Not very kind of your friends to leave you on your own.
Lousy friends, leaving you alone like that.
Come on. Knock it back.
Knock it back!
Drink!
Drink up!
Let's dance!
Let's dance.
What's going on here?
Hey, what's all this about?
Do you want to steal our girl?
You're trying to steal our girl?
- Sorry.
- Excuse us.
- Not so fast.
- Hold it.
Where are you going?
Not even saying goodbye?
- You're drunk.
- You're drunk.
- What's that?
- What?!
Cut it out.
Easy, boys.
Wreck the place and you'll pay for it.
It'd cost you a lot to ruin this place.
Take it outside.
Go outside and sort it out.
All right.
Alright.
What about you?
Are you with me?
Good. I'll referee.
I'll be referee.
Son of a bitch!
Stop it!
Stop it!
That's enough.
That's enough.
You're a tough one, schoolboy.
You're not bad, kid.
But don't pick fights with thugs who've got nothing to lose.
But stay away from those yobs.
That's enough now.
You got me? Stop it.
You hear that?
- What about you?
- Screw that.
- We want to continue.
- We're not joking around.
Listen, kid...
Schoolboy,
Their job is prostituting women and ripping them off.
these guys lure in young girls and then pimp them out.
It's a shame they got your girl.
Unfortunately, they set their sights on your friend.
It looks like business is slow.
They bought her a lot of drinks, and now they get nothing.
How about paying back with money?
But a little cash might settle the score.
- Any objection?
- Any objections?
- No.
- No.
And you'll leave him alone?
- No hard feelings?
Yes.
- No.
- How much?
- How much?
- Ten thousand.
- Ten thousand yen.
- He's just a kid.
- But he's a kid!
- All right, 5,000.
- Alright, five thousand.
I don't have that much on me.
I don't have it.
Bring it here tomorrow.
Bring it to the bar tomorrow.
All right.
Alright. Now go.
Now that that's settled, scram.
- Aren't you going?
- Aren't you going?
- After you.
- You go first.
Why did you do that?
Why do you do this to me?
Tell me. Why did you do it again?
Tell me. Why has this happened?
Tell me.
Why do you do it?
Why?
You don't even love me, so why?
Why, when you don't even love me?
- Tell me, why?
- Tell me why!
- Stop it!
- Stop it!
I'm in love with you.
I... love you.
That's why I hate doing it like this, when you don't even love me.
That's why I hate doing it like this, if you don't love me.
But it happens every time we meet.
But it happens every time we see each other.
So I don't want to see you anymore.
So I don't want to see you anymore.
You're wrong to think you can string me along like this.
You're wrong to think you can treat me like this.
I never want to see you again.
I never want to see you again.
I love you.
- I love you.
That's not true.
- That's not true.
I love you!
I really do love you.
- You're lying!
- You're lying.
- It's the truth.
- It's the truth.
Really?
Are you sure?
Really?
Are you really sure?
You were lying at the bar the other day.
You lied at the bar the other day.
But today, you're telling the truth, right?
Today you're telling the truth?
I think you are.
Seems like you are.
You can never leave me.
You can never leave me.
I'm warning you.
Don't even think about it.
You love me?
Do you still love me?
Sure I do.
Of course.
I'd better be going.
I'd better go home.
- Home?
Home?
- Yeah.
To get my books and go to high school.
To get my books and go to school.
You know...
I'll come by tonight if I can,
I'll try and come tonight, but if I don't, call me at Yoko's house.
but if I don't, call me at Yoko's house.
Don't forget this time.
Don't forget this time.
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Say something.
Tell me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Where did you spend the night?
- Where did you sleep?
- You'll yell at me.
- You'll scold me if I tell you.
This has never happened before.
It's never happened before.
Thank heavens!
Thank heavens.
When I was her age, Mom yelled if I came home after dark.
Returning after dark was enough for Mum to scold me when I was her age.
But you say nothing.
Now daddy never tells you off. Right?
I'll be late for work.
I'll be late for work.
What about you?
Aren't you going?
I'll take off work. We can't let her off so easily.
I'll stay to hear what she has to say.
Tell your sister what happened, then I'll hear it from her.
Tell your sister Yuki, then she'll tell me.
Where are you going?
- Where are you going?
- I'll be late for school.
- I'll be late for school.
- No, you're going to explain.
First you're going to explain.
- Why?
- Why?
- It's that student, isn't it?
- It's that student, isn't it?
Who knows what he's up to!
He's no good.
You ran into him at a seedy hotel.
You met him the other day.
That's a side of you I never knew existed.
Who'd have thought you frequent love hotels.
How far have you two gone?
How far has your relationship gone? Tell me.
I can't accept this. Explain it to me.
I don't want to.
I don't feel like it.
Why should I? I'll skip school, I need to sleep.
It's a waste of time.
I'm cutting school. I'm very tired.
Mako!
Mako!
Come in.
Come in.
Are you coming home?
Come home.
I will when I feel like it. Right now, I don't.
I'll come when I want.
But not now.
Why not?
Why not?
No special reason.
No special reason.
It's for your own good.
I say this for you both.
If you get hurt this young, the scars will last forever.
Quit now, before you get hurt.
Speaking from experience?
Like you?
Yes.
Didn't you say you never went out at night at my age?
That's right. Mom was very strict, and Dad was stricter than he is now.
The world wasn't so open-minded back then.
But harsh as it was, I still enjoyed my youth.
Your heart was broken, and now you go to hotels with dirty, middle-aged men.
You never made up your mind and took action.
Oh, I took action, and it wasn't meaningless like yours.
But you were too weak to see it through.
Are you sure the same won't happen to you two?
Yes.
Yes.
You think this burning passion will last forever?
You told me you never came home late when you were young.
That's true. Mum was very strict and Dad too.
The world wasn't yet such an open-minded place.
But though times were bad, I had my fun when I was young.
But you lost, and now you hang out in hotels with dirty old men.
You didn't go all out like us.
I had real dreams... not empty ones like you.
But you lost because you were weak.
And are you two sure you won't lose?
We are.
Are you sure your love story won't end?
Yes.
Yes.
You're wrong. Try living together in this dump.
It won't work. Shack up here for a while...
Your passion will cool, leaving only misery behind.
and passion will give way to misery.
Then it'll be too late.
Then it will be too late.
She's right.
She's right. You'd better go home.
You'd better go home.
No, I'm coming to live here.
No, I'm living here.
- Did you plan to?
- You've made up your mind?
- I've just decided.
- Yes, just now.
Then don't come to me for help, no matter how bad things get.
Then don't come to me for help, no matter how bad things get.
Fine.
Fine.
Goodbye then.
Goodbye to you both.
What about school tomorrow?
What about school?
- I'll be there.
- I'm coming.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Is that all right?
- Is that OK?
- Yes.
- Sure.
I'll get my stuff tomorrow. Can I stay here?
I'll get my stuff tomorrow. Can I move in here?
Sure.
Of course.
You didn't show up, so we came by.
You didn't show up, so we came.
- I was on my way.
- I was on my way.
- Reliable. I like that.
- You're a good kid.
- Let's get a drink.
Let's have a drink.
- Lend me your motorcycle.
Lend me your motorbike.
- You got the money?
- And the money?
- I borrowed it.
- From the pawnshop.
We could have spent it ourselves.
No point in paying them.
- We can make more.
- We can make more money.
- How?
- How?
You hitch a ride with a guy, and I'll follow you.
You go and ask for a lift and I'll follow you.
When he comes on to you, I'll show up.
When he comes on to you, I'll show up.
Like the night we met, only on purpose.
It worked last time.
- Sounds like fun.
- Sounds like fun.
- Will you do it?
- Will you do it?
- What if he doesn't come on to me?
- What if he won't come on?
- Make him.
- You make him.
I'll beat up any guy who tries anything. They'll cough up.
If he doesn't, I'll beat him up.
Let's do it.
- Let's go.
Sorry. I must have fallen asleep.
- Right.
You sure did. Your mouth was wide open.
- Sorry, I must've fallen asleep.
It was awful. They made me drink six highballs.
- Napping with your mouth wide open.
They made me drink six cocktails.
- Who?
- Who?
- Some guys.
- Those guys.
- I want to get out of here.
I'll get out here.
- Why?
- Why?
I'm still a bit dizzy.
- I'm still a bit drunk.
My folks will be angry if I go home like this. I'll rest here.
I can't go home like this, I'll have a rest.
- Where?
- Where?
- The jazz bar.
- At the jazz bar.
- That's no place for you.
- That's no place for you.
- It's the only one I know.
- It's the only one I know.
All right. I'll take you there.
All right, I'll take you there.
- I didn't want a hotel!
- I didn't want a hotel.
- You said you wanted to rest.
- You said you wanted to rest. Wait!
Hey!
- Come here.
Let me explain!
- Let me go!
You bastard!
- Hold on.
Why don't you leave the poor girl alone?
- Leave that poor girl alone.
How about we go to the cops?
You want to go to the police?
- Listen--
I'll take her home. You'll pay for the cab.
- Idiot!
Miss Makoto Shinjo, report to your class teacher.
I'll see her home. You can pay for the cab.
- Why?
Miss Makoto Shinjo, Third Year Class B, please report...
- Pretend not to hear and just leave.
Just act like you didn't hear it.
Rumour is you're living with a student. That's why.
I heard you've been living with a guy. It's probably about that.
Surely not about Mako.
That's a lie. Can't you see that?
I heard about your relationship so I called your sister.
I heard you were living with a boy,
She said it wasn't true and I feel relieved.
so I called your sister.
Have you got a boyfriend?
I was relieved to hear it wasn't true.
But you do have a boyfriend?
Yes.
Yes.
Have a seat.
I see. Please sit down.
Don't get too deeply involved.
You'd better not take it seriously. Don't get too involved.
Best not to take these things too seriously.
Don't get too serious like your sister here.
You'll get hurt if you get too involved like your sister did.
Her romance kept us in suspense when we were young.
Your love affair was like a legend in our day.
Don't say that.
Let's not talk about that.
Do you still see Akimoto?
Do you ever see Akimoto?
Never.
Never.
I think young people in our day were too timid.
In our days, young people were too shy.
You never even held hands, did you?
You didn't even used to hold hands.
Let me have one.
Give me one.
But this one here thinks nothing of living with a guy.
Nowadays, girls like her even sleep with men.
Just be careful.
Be careful, it's hard to live those rumours down.
Even if it's only a rumor, that's bad enough.
Who spoke about me?
Who started that rumor?
It doesn't matter.
That's not important.
Thanks for not saying anything.
I'm glad you didn't say anything.
Two months have gone by.
It's been two months.
I'm amazed. Things seem to be going all right.
I'm amazed. Things seem to be going all right.
I'm even a little jealous. How do you pass the days?
I envy you, in a certain way. What is your life like?
I'm meeting Yoko. I have to go.
I'm meeting Yoko, I have to go. Bye.
Bye.
You know...
I think demonstrating
I think taking part in the student demonstrations is stupid.
and waving flags is silly.
Why don't we think about getting married instead?
Why don't you think about getting married instead?
I thought about it.
I've already given it some thought.
I envy Mako.
I envy Mako.
They live in this filthy room, but they love each other.
They live in such a dingy room...
They must be so happy.
but they're so in love.
I wouldn't let you live in a place like this.
I wouldn't let you live in a dump like this.
Really?
Are you sure?
Why don't you live with me for a while?
Why don't you live with me at my place for a while?
You kept us waiting.
You made me wait.
Didn't you want a little extra time?
Looks like I did well.
My name is Yoko. Ito and I met nearby.
I'm Yoko, I met him here.
I'm Fujii. What's going on today?
I'm Fujii. What's happening?
Nothing special.
Nothing special.
Mako's going to be a little late.
Mako's going to be a bit late.
I'll go get us something to eat.
I'm going to buy something.
Lady-killer!
Lady-killer.
You dumped the girl with the flyers for a real bourgeois princess!
Have you come to show off your new lover?
Here to show her off?
Don't be like that. Have some fun.
Don't look at me like that.
Instead of lecturing me...
Have some fun.
why don't you think about your future?
Why don't you stop mocking me
Not Beethoven.
and think about your future?
The school fees...
What is this, Beethoven?
What about your tuition?
- What?
- What?
- Did you pay your tuition?
- Did you pay them?
Oh, that. Yeah.
Yes, all of them.
That's swell. Where did you get the money?
Good. How did you get the money?
From her? Smart. The easiest way is the best.
From her? You get things easily.
I stopped by school for a change. There's no good work around.
Today I went to college for a change.
They said they'd expel me this month if I don't shape up.
They told me of the class cutbacks.
State schools let you slide for two years.
State schools are easier. They're not very strict there.
Hey, what if I told her about your girl with the protest flyers?
What would you do if I told her about your ex-lover?
Really? You'd do something that low?
That's a cowardly joke!
Low?
Cowardly?
Maybe. You never know.
You never know. I could blow the gaff.
- Drink.
- Drink.
- More?
- You think I can't?
All right.
Don't make him drink too much.
Why are you making him drink?
Excuse me?
What?
I've had more than him. I can drink loads.
I've had more than him. I can drink like a fish.
A nice whisky like this.
Especially a nice whiskey like this.
Mako, Kiyoshi's being mean.
Mako, Kiyoshi is being mean.
Why do you spread rumours?
Why have you been spreading rumors?
- I never said a word about you.
I've done no such thing.
- How come everyone knows?
Then how come everyone knows?
Maybe somebody saw you with him.
Maybe one of the girls saw you walking with him.
And that we live together?
And the fact that we're living together?
Mako! If you don't like it, you shouldn't have started.
Mako.
I'm not your pimp. I never forced you to leave home.
If you're so ashamed of it, You shouldn't have moved in.
There's no point getting angry now.
It's not like I'm your pimp. I never forced you to move in.
Say something, Yoshimi.
It's a little late for complaining now.
Don't let him take it out on her.
Yoshimi, say something!
Maybe she's not happy.
It's not fair to her.
Doesn't Mako look happy?
She doesn't seem happy.
That might be true, but it's not my fault.
Maybe you're right.
You're cruel.
But she's the one being difficult, not me!
Yoshimi...
You're awful.
I'm taking Mako home, she can stay with me.
Yoshimi, I'm taking Mako home with me. She can stay at my place.
But they live together... because they love each other.
They live together
Let them decide on their own.
because they love each other.
Are you drunk?
Let them settle it between themselves.
I've never been so drunk.
You're drunk?
Don't collapse on my bed again.
I've never drunk so much in my life!
You're going to pass out on me?
Get up!
Get up!
I'll spill your secret!
I'll tell them.
What secret?
What?
No! Please don't!
No! Have a heart!
Mako, is Yoko a good friend?
Mako, is Yoko a good friend of yours?
Yes, a very good friend.
Yes, she's my best friend.
I see.
Right.
Yoko,
Do you want to know a really terrible thing?
want to hear something interesting?
You two look so close...
You two seem so close,
but your boyfriend has another woman.
but he's in deep with another girl.
She's a stocky, ugly hag, but she is a woman.
She's pudgy and short,
She used to come here and sleep with him, in that bed.
but still, a woman's a woman.
Mako, is it true?
He slept with her right in this bed whenever he got horny.
Did you know?
Mako, is that true?
What if I had known?
You knew?
You knew.
What if I did?
How two-faced of you! Liar!
You knew!
Don't.
Yoshimi, you two-faced liar!
Did you get your period?
No!
Did you have your period?
No.
No.
Stop it!
Let's go out.
Let's go out.
- You got any money?
- Have you got any money?
- We'll make some.
- We'll make some.
Like before?
Like before?
I don't want to.
Don't count on me.
Why not?
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Come on. Let's strike it rich!
Come on, be good.
What if I refuse?
What if I refuse?
I'm sorry. I'll do it.
I'm kidding. Let's do it?
What's wrong? You haven't said a word.
What's wrong? Why are you so quiet?
You looked so cheerful when you tapped on my window.
You looked rather happy when you knocked on the car window.
You're crying. What's wrong?
You're crying. What's happened?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize.
Don't be sorry.
It's been a tough day.
I feel so sad today.
Did something happen?
Has something bad happened?
Nothing serious.
Nothing serious.
Tell me about it. You'll feel better.
Tell me about it, you'll feel better.
I can't tell you.
I can't tell you.
Maybe I can help.
You never know. Maybe I can help you.
I'm sorry,
Thanks all the same...
but I can't tell you.
but I can't tell you.
I can't just stand by and watch a beautiful girl like you cry.
You can't?
I'm sorry. I'll stop.
I can't sit next to a beautiful girl like you and watch her cry.
Stop here.
I'm sorry. No more crying.
- I'm getting out.
I'll get out here.
- Let me out.
- Why?
- Why?
I couldn't sleep if I went home, so I'll just hang out here.
I wouldn't sleep if I went home, I'll kill some time somewhere.
- Where?
- Where?
- In a coffee shop or something.
- In a tea house.
You shouldn't, not on your own.
You shouldn't, not on your own.
I'll find a guy in no time.
I'll find a friend.
That's even worse.
That's even worse.
I'm so sad I could die. I'm going to get drunk.
I feel awful! I'll get drunk!
Wait.
Wait.
- Come with me.
- Do you want to come with me?
- Go with you?
- Where to?
You're a kind man. Will you listen to my story?
Will you listen to my story?
You should go home.
- You should go home.
Let's go some place you know.
- Let's go someplace you know.
No.
No.
Then let me out here.
Let me out here then.
Wait!
You asked me to take you home.
You asked me to take you home.
Leaving you in a place like this doesn't count.
I can't leave you in a place like this.
Are you angry?
Are you cross?
No.
No.
Do you always drink when you're sad?
Do you always drink when you're sad?
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
That's not good.
That's not good.
I only drink when I'm happy, so I become twice as happy.
I only drink when I'm happy, so I get even happier.
And when you're sad?
And when you're sad?
I don't drink. It'd only make things worse.
I don't drink, it'd just make things worse.
What do you do then?
What do you do then?
I climb into bed and cry myself to sleep.
I go home and cry myself to sleep.
A grown man like you?
You cry?
You cry yourself to sleep?
You cry yourself to sleep?
I meant when I was young!
When I was young.
See? You cheered up a bit.
You see? You feel better already.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Good night.
- Goodnight.
- I'm going to cry myself to sleep.
I'll cry myself to sleep.
- Good.
Good.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- He didn't come on to me.
- I let this one get away.
- That's odd.
- That's a first.
Sorry, but he wasn't in the mood.
Sorry. I wasn't in the mood.
What was he like?
What was he like?
He was a kind old man.
He was a kind, old man.
Maybe it was because I acted sad,
Much kinder than you were to me today.
but he was much nicer than you were today.
Get on the back, come on!
Come on.
Get on.
This is my house.
This is my house.
Have you forgotten?
You forgot?
I think I'll stay here tonight. Okay?
I think I'll stay here tonight, OK?
Fine.
Fine. We can sleep alone every now and again.
It'll be a relief to sleep alone for a change.
Who is it?
- Who is it?
It's Makoto.
- Makoto.
How come you're back?
How come you're back?
Don't get angry at her.
Don't get mad at her.
That's just how young people are these days.
Nowadays, young people...
Why weren't you as understanding with me?
You're so understanding. Why weren't you so nice to me?
- Times have changed.
- Times have changed.
- That's not true.
- Not true! You never stood up to Mum.
You just went along with Mom.
Times were hard after the war...
It's not just that. Times were hard after the war,
We thought we had new horizons.
and society was moving in a new direction.
Japan became a democracy, so I had reason to lecture you.
I could go on about a new democratic Japan being born,
Like how freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility.
how freedom comes with responsibility and all that crap.
But what can I say to this girl today?
But what can I say to this girl today?
I'm not going to tell her what she can and cannot do.
Nothing.
I asked you why you came back.
I don't want to tell her what she shouldn't do.
I'm angry you didn't stick to the promise you made
The reason I'm upset that you're home...
when you left this house.
is because you didn't stick to what you said when you left this house.
- Is Mr. Akimoto here?
- Is Mr Akimoto here?
- Come in.
- Come in.
Pardon the intrusion.
Thanks.
Yuki!
Hi, Yuki.
I was just passing by.
I was passing by.
The place is a mess, but have a seat.
Come in...
- Are you free?
have a seat.
- I am now.
- Have you got time?
The housewives are making dinner, and the factory workers are headed home.
- All the time you want.
So this is just a clinic now?
Women are busy cooking dinner and men are still at work.
Yeah, the children's activities and free legal advice
Just patients these days?
gradually folded after our student days ended.
Yes, we've stopped doing legal counselling and the other stuff.
But workers always need a doctor.
All voluntary workers quit.
I admire how you've stuck to your ideals.
Now, there's just the clinic left.
I'm ashamed of myself.
At least you're still trying to fulfil your dreams.
I wonder if I really have.
I do wonder sometimes.
Do you resent me for what happened?
Akimoto, did you hate me? Did I disappoint you?
That's all forgotten now.
It's an old story, long forgotten.
Looking back,
When we were young... we were so eager to change society.
there's no doubt how passionate we were about changing society.
But we were naive...
But our methods were childish, and we made so many mistakes.
we made many mistakes.
We couldn't break down the walls.
We pounded, but the wall kept standing.
We got impatient and took it out on each other.
By being impatient we ended up hurting each other.
I don't blame you for choosing an older, more stable man.
I didn't blame you for choosing an older man.
What's so funny?
Why are you laughing?
I thought I'd found stability, but I still haven't.
I thought I'd sorted myself out, but I hadn't.
Doctor, the invalid is here.
Doctor, that sick guy...
Don't use that jargon!
Say: 'Patient!'
I mean the patient.
The patient.
You don't need to knock.
What's with the formalities?
I thought you'd be angry.
I thought you were angry.
Why would I be?
What nonsense.
You're not angry about last night?
About last night.
No.
- I'm not angry.
How come?
- How come?
I understand how you felt.
I understand how you felt.
Thanks.
Thanks.
It turns out I'm pregnant.
I think I'm pregnant.
Have you seen a doctor?
Have you seen a doctor?
But we can't have a child.
But we can't have a child.
You should get an abortion.
Have an abortion.
Since you screwed up last night, let's try again tonight.
Last night didn't go well. Let's try again.
You'll feel better.
You'll feel better.
No.
No.
Why not? Abortions cost money.
Why not? Abortions cost money.
No!
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
How can you be so cruel?
You're so cruel.
Am I?
Cruel, me?
Yes.
How could you?
Your baby
It's your baby...
is inside me.
I'm carrying in my womb.
And yet,
And you still want other men...
you want other men to leer at me like hungry beasts.
to look at me and desire me like animals.
I can't believe it.
That's terrible.
I wasn't thinking that seriously.
Don't get so serious about it.
I just thought if I beat some old lecher's face in, you'd feel better.
I thought if I beat up some idiot, you'd feel better.
Didn't I tell you yesterday?
Didn't I already tell you yesterday?
I feel like...
I feel...
I'm not a person anymore, like I'm some object.
like I'm an object, no longer human.
Maybe you don't understand.
I don't want to do it, full stop!
I don't want to do it, period!
I mean it.
I get it. Calm down.
All right, calm down.
No, you don't get it.
You don't understand.
I'm going.
I'm going.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
We'll talk this out then.
We'll talk then.
That's better, right?
Maybe that's better.
Will you be at home?
Will you be at home?
Good evening.
Good evening.
Were you looking for a ride?
Do you want a lift?
Get in. I'll take you home.
Get in, I'll take you home.
Not so sure today?
Are you hesitant today?
Will you tell me to go straight home again?
You'll tell me to go straight home?
No.
No.
Did crying yourself to sleep work?
What was crying yourself to sleep like?
It did. I felt a lot better.
It worked. I woke up happier.
Good.
Good.
That's why I want to drink tonight,
Tonight I want to drink so I'll feel even happier.
so I'll feel even happier.
Good. The drinks are on me.
Good. The drinks are on me.
But I don't even know your name.
I don't even know your name.
My name is Horio.
My name's Horio.
I'm a hundred times happier.
I'm a hundred times happier.
You look sleepy.
You look tired.
A bit.
A bit.
You want to go home? It's pretty late.
It's late. Do you want to go home?
I'll call you a cab.
I'll call you a cab.
I'm staying the night.
I'm staying a while longer.
You can too.
You can stay, too.
Or you can go.
Or you can go...
Which would you prefer?
Which do you prefer?
To be honest,
To be honest, I'd rather you stayed.
I'd rather you stayed.
I'll call my boyfriend and ask if it's OK.
I'll go call my boyfriend to ask if I can cheat on him.
Hello?
Hello?
Is that you?
Is that you, lady?
It's me. Long time no see.
It's me.
I wanted to talk to you about something tomorrow.
Can I see you tomorrow?
What is it?
What about?
I don't owe you anything.
I can't think why I should see you.
Why can't you treat me better?
Tell me...
Be nice to me or I'll fool around.
Why can't you be nicer to me?
Okay?
Be sweet or it will all be over between us.
Is it really okay?
Please, honey. Be sweet.
I need a loan.
I need a loan.
What for?
What for?
To pay for an abortion.
To pay for an abortion.
Forget it.
Never.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
For services rendered.
This is for services rendered.
You're so callous.
You've got a nerve...
Taking money from a woman you dumped to give to another you got pregnant.
taking my money to give it to some girl you got pregnant.
How do you think she'll feel?
Try to put yourself in her place.
I can just imagine your reaction when she told you.
I can imagine your reaction when she told you.
You have no idea how I feel or how she feels.
You don't have a clue about me nor her.
Oh, but I do.
You're wrong. I once aborted a child that was yours.
I once got rid of a baby of yours.
I was sure it was yours.
I'm sure it was yours.
You've never told me.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to be hurt by your indifference.
I knew how you'd react, and I didn't want to get hurt.
I refused to be disillusioned.
I didn't want my dreams shattered.
So I thought I'd be better off sorting it out by myself.
Easier just to handle it myself.
But this girl's hopeless. She's not strong like me.
But I doubt she'll handle it as shrewdly as I did.
Now, you'll just hurt each other. I feel sorry for you.
You'll only hurt yourself. You'll only hurt each other.
Shut up!
- I feel sorry for you.
- Shut up!
Why did you come here?
Why did you come here?
Here.
Here.
The money.
For the doctor.
And this is...
This is the clinic's address.
the map to the clinic. I called them up.
I found out for you.
They said anytime after 8:00 p.m.
You can go anytime before 8. Go tonight, if you want.
Go tonight if you want.
Be honest. I'm not the only one to blame.
Stop making that face! I'm not the only one to blame!
There's no need to worry.
- You don't have to worry anymore.
What?
- What?
I slept with another man last night.
I slept with another man last night.
Really?
Really?
Yes.
Of course.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do it?
Why?
Why?
Well?
I don't know, maybe to get over my sadness.
I don't know.
Maybe to forget my sadness.
You're so cruel.
You're so cruel.
I thought an older man might be kinder.
I thought an older man might be kinder.
Who is he?
Who is he?
His name is Horio. He owns Horio Industries.
His name's Horio. He runs a company of the same name.
He's the one who got away that night. I ran into him again.
The guy that got away the other night.
We got drunk and slept together. He was gentle and kind.
He was a good man...
But I just kept thinking of you!
so kind.
But I kept thinking of you all the time.
I hate admitting it, but it's true!
I hate admitting it, but it's true!
But now I can put this all behind me.
But I can forget now.
I can get rid of the baby.
I can get rid of the baby.
I mean it!
I mean it.
Mr. Horio? I have to talk to you.
Are you Mr Horio?
Who are you?
Who are you?
It's about last night.
It's about last night.
- I want you to pay for the girl.
How about paying for the girl?
- What's she to you?
What are you to her?
You violated a young girl. You have to pay up.
You should pay. No question about it.
You two are running a racket, eh?
So you two set me up then?
Why else would a pretty girl give herself to an old man?
Why else would she have gone with you?
Very well.
- The poor girl was crying.
- She was crying, you know.
- She was pretending.
- Just pretending.
Because of you?
I'll bet you're the one who upset her.
Shut up!
Shut up!
How about some tea?
Will you have a drink with me?
Actually, I'm hungry.
I'm hungry, I'd rather go and eat.
- No, please!
No, please!
- Shut up!
Is it you again? Want to have fun with my woman?
You again?
I should make you pay.
Cheeky son of a bitch, trying to rape one of my girls.
You tried to betray me, didn't you?
I oughtta make you pay.
Didn't you know he's no good?
But you, you need to be more picky.
You animal!
Scum like him are good for nothing.
You beast!
Doctor.
Doctor.
Sorry to come by so late.
Sorry about the time.
Come in.
Come in.
- What's going on?
- Why did you come?
- You said you were free at night.
- You said nights are quiet.
I just finished a minor operation.
I just finished a minor operation.
How about a drink?
How about a drink for old times' sake?
It's cheap stuff, but for old times' sake.
To our lost youth.
To our lost youth.
I want it back.
I'd love to have it back.
Huh?
What?
I've broken up with my lover.
I've split with my lover.
Why?
I want to start again.
I want to start my life over.
My sister is just like I was.
My sister is just like I was then.
In her own way she's rebelling against the world.
She's rebelling against the world, but in her own way.
I want to be like that again.
I want to be like that again.
Is there anything I can do?
Is there anything I can do?
I know asking for your love now is too much,
If it can't be love...
but maybe I can help with your work.
maybe a job or something else.
You're the only one who can show me the way.
You're the only one who can give me a chance.
Doctor, that invalid--
Doctor, the man of that sick woman's here.
Why are you here?
What's going on?
Mako had an abortion here.
Mako had an abortion here.
What are you doing here?
Why are you here?
She was once my girlfriend.
She's an ex-lover of mine.
The workers who come here can't pay much,
My patients rarely pay me.
so I have to provide other services.
So I have to do other jobs.
Where is she?
She's sleeping.
She's still under anesthesia.
Leave us alone.
Leave us alone.
The irony!
What splendid irony.
We went around town, you with your doctor's bag,
We tried to change the world, with my puppet play and your doctor's bag.
me telling stories with picture cards.
We were both so determined. What good was it?
We tried to change the world, but only ended up destroying ourselves.
We couldn't do anything about it.
We had no choice.
This is a cruel world and it destroyed our love.
There was nothing we could do.
At least our love remained pure and chaste.
This twisted world warped our love.
We vented our anger with the student demonstrations.
We were so disciplined, we didn't even touch each other.
But it was all pointless.
We fought this screwed-up world and vented our anger in protests.
We got hurt and we split up.
But we just wound up screwing up ourselves.
We had to accept defeat.
We hurt each other and broke up.
Your sister and her man, on the other hand...
We had to accept defeat. What else could we do?
struggle with the world by giving in to all their desires.
Your sister and her friends,
But they won't be able to win.
unlike us,
In the end...
vent their rage by giving in to all their desires.
their failures, like this abortion...
But can they win that way?
will drive them apart.
Sooner or later,
No, never!
failures like this will follow one after another
The poor girl looked desperate when she arrived.
and warp them as well. They'll be torn apart!
You're wrong.
No, we won't!
Don't talk nonsense. We're not like you two.
We'll see.
- I wish that were the case.
That poor girl was in despair!
- But it's not.
You're wrong!
Don't destroy my last hope.
You don't know what you're saying. We're not like you!
Or you'll destroy theirs too.
I hope that's true.
We have no dreams, that's why we'll never end up like you.
Well, it's not!
- Are you so sure you will stay together?
Please stop.
- Of course!
You already destroyed my last hope.
Would you destroy theirs too?
We have no hope.
That's why we won't wind up pathetic like you!
You're sure you won't break up?
You bet I am!
I'd better go.
I'd better go.
Why don't you stay?
There's no rush.
Tonight,
We were beaten again tonight.
we were defeated a second time. Let's have a drink.
Let's have a drink.
We won't be meeting again.
We needn't see each other again. Let's drink the night away.
Let's have one long farewell drink until dawn.
I don't want to hear anymore.
Akimoto, let her go.
Yuki... there's this woman...
Yuki, that woman...
it's like she's my wife.
is like a wife to me.
I'm tied to her for the rest of my life!
I'm chained to her for the rest of my life!
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Please look after Mako.
Take care of her.
How do you feel?
Did you come for me?
You came to see me?
Did you stay all night?
Have you been here all night?
I must be kind occasionally. I don't want you to cheat on me.
I've got to be nice sometimes.
Stupid.
I don't want you shacking up with some old man.
How are you feeling?
Don't be stupid.
Still a bit dizzy.
How do you feel?
You'll be fine.
Still a little groggy.
Let's go on a trip.
You'll be better soon.
Let's go away for a couple of days.
Have you got any money?
Have you got any money?
I remember that time on the boat.
It reminds me of that time on the boat.
You were so mean at first.
You were horrible at first.
You'd get angry about something and take it out on me.
You'd get angry with me for all sorts of reasons.
But then,
But once we had done our set-up, you were very sweet to me.
you became nicer when we started robbing those men.
Now you vent your anger on the guys you rip off.
Beating them up and taking their money lifted your spirits.
I'm going to stop doing it.
I'm going to stop.
Why?
Why?
You don't like it.
You don't like it.
- Is that really why?
- Is that why?
- Yes.
- Yes.
We enjoyed the thrill,
I admit I enjoy the thrill...
but it made us miserable too.
but it also makes me feel miserable.
I felt like I was being bought and sold.
I hated being used like that.
As long as there are buyers, that's how it is.
Those men are to blame.
Men are always chasing women, aren't they?
Men are always chasing women, aren't they?
You'll protect me, won't you?
You'll protect me, won't you?
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
Sorry, we can't make love right now.
Are you cross that I couldn't?
That's okay.
No.
You're so sweet.
You're so sweet.
- Mr. Fujii? Miss Shinjo?
Fujii? Miss Shinjo?
- What is it?
- What do you want?
I have a warrant for your arrest for extortion.
- You're both wanted for extortion.
I spent some time with Mr. Horio, but that's all.
I went for some fun with Mr Horio.
I swear that's all it was.
That's all. He has nothing to do with it.
The next day, Fujii went to demand money from him
But Fujii beat him up and said it was about a set-up.
and even admitted that it was a racket.
Which is it?
Well?
There are so many idiots around.
Yeah, we did it a lot, because it worked every time.
Do you admit you were wrong?
Don't you think it was wrong?
No.
No, I don't.
Aren't these guys to be blamed? They lure girls with cars and money.
Those guys who lure girls with money and cars, aren't they to blame?
I have to admit you're right about that. You're a smart guy.
I have to admit
But someone needs to be responsible.
you may have a point.
I heard you used force for no reason.
But that still doesn't make them responsible for your actions.
Right.
You used an unnecessary degree of force.
You took some money...
That's right.
and spent it having fun.
You stole their money,
Apart from your theories, the fact is that you like money.
then took a trip to the beach.
Money buys clothes, food and even abortions.
The fact is you don't care about what's right.
Just like your victims, you covet money.
You just like money.
You're just like them, you're a victim of money too!
Money!
You always think about hurting people.
Money buys clothes, good food, even abortions.
Stop pretending you're innocent!
Like your victims, you believe that money can buy anything.
Isn't it time you confessed?
So who's at fault? You're all the same!
One visit.
So spare me your excuses!
It's you, brother.
Now you show your true colors.
You idiot. Serves you right.
Lashing out, that's all you think about!
My husband is doing business with Horio.
How about admitting you might be in the wrong?
I asked him to put in a good word for you. So act like you're sorry.
It's time we discuss the details.
If you apologise, Horio won't press charges. You just need to say sorry.
You have a visitor.
I apologise that I didn't look after him.
Brother, what are you doing here?
Idiot! Fool around with loose women and this is what happens.
My husband does business with Horio.
I spoke with him.
He won't press charges if you show remorse.
I said there were mitigating circumstances.
All you have to do is apologize sincerely.
I take my eyes off him for a second and this happens. I'm sorry.
That's all right.
He can stay with me for a while.
He can stay with me for a while.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks for ratting me out.
Thanks for telling the whole story.
Bu
Anyhow, I don't hate you.
You're in trouble because we failed when we were young.
Let's go.
One more thing.
Why are you alone? Weren't you inseparable?
Get in the car.
That girl who said she carried your baby is staying in.
She's a minor so she'll go to a reform school.
You're through with her.
Why do you keep bothering me?
How can you say that after all I did for you?
I got you out of there. Don't forget that.
You admitted you were wrong.
That makes a nice change from your usual behaviour.
I lied to them. Otherwise they wouldn't have let me go.
I still don't think I was wrong.
Where will you go?
You should know. Goodbye.
- Why don't you let me in?
- Let's go.
- I can't today.
- Why?
Where are you going? I'll take you.
No way.
Is she your ex-lover?
She got me out of prison. I didn't ask for it.
I hate her.
- What is she to you now?
- Nothing.
I don't like her. I was ready to start again.
She's still following us.
Lose her.
- That feels better.
- I don't have a penny.
Don't you?
What a nerve. Taking a ride for free.
- What's up?
- No money.
- How much is it?
- 360 yen.
I'll let you go for today. Call me.
What shall we do?
I don't know.
- Any ideas?
- None.
How about doing our set-up?
I told the policemen I didn't think we were wrong.
Mako... let's break up.
What are you saying?
I think it's for the best.
Don't get inhibited by an arrest.
You asked me to prevent you from becoming an object.
But I can't protect you.
Don't say that.
You said that's what women are like.
Not just women. Men are no different.
We can only sell ourselves in order to go on living.
No matter how I fight it, that's what the world is like.
But together, we...
Together or alone, it's the same thing.
We just hurt each other.
So why not try by ourselves?
Together it'll probably be a failure.
No.
Even if we get back together again, it won't be the same thing.
Goodbye.
No!
Do you love me?
I love you.
Goodbye.
No!
I see.
Wait.
I need you.
I was looking for you.
You've got us into a real mess.
Why?
Remember that motorbike? It was stolen.
So those two got arrested.
You'll
