Hey, how long are you thinking over?
Have you finished to clean the room?
Not yet.
Won't you?
What were you doing?
- I will go. - Don't have quarrel.
Junko-san, I have a talk with you.
What is it, Ma'am?
When Mr. Kamura has come down here for washing,
he asks me for mediation.
Has he already talk it to you?
I think he has no other way.
Well, I think it will not be the merit for him.
- I cannot stand also. - He said the same thing.
He said it is his fault she decided to separate.
- It's reasonable Junko gets angry. - I'm not angry!
I rather sympathize with him.
Think that he has not working for nearly a half year.
As I am working, he tends to choose his new job.
After all, I made him dull. That's hard for me.
He knows well what you think.
He only requesting for waiting as he almost find a new job.
It's impossible. I have heard it too many times.
I feel pity on him.
Please, reconsider your decision to separate.
But... I won't bother you.
I'm thankful to you. If he goes out, I will stay instead.
- That's not the matter! - He has no money.
If he stays, I left some money for him to live a month or so.
I'm in trouble. We are good friends.
I would like to do something.
I'm sorry for you, but please,
keep your eyes close as it's is all for him.
- No room? - I also feel hard.
I know.
Sorry for troubling you.
I'll incur his ill will, if he starves.
I'm in trouble!
You shouldn't do such things.
I will take it to the cleaning store.
- It looks so dirty. - I'm sorry.
Aren't you hungry as we have breakfast earlier today?
- Yes. I remember now. - I will make it soon.
- Why don't you go bathing? - I don't need to go.
If you go, you'll have lunch in good mood.
That's sorry for you.
Why?
It's sinful to ask it now.
If you think so, I'll not say anything more.
Darling, come here.
Let's have it.
Are you angry because I have made you wait?
I'm not angry at all.
Then, bon appetit!
What's the matter?
- My heart is too full. - Too full to eat?
- You are too serious. - But I have to be serious.
This would be the last breakfast like The Last Supper.
Are you regretful for my kindness?
Yes.
I do it for celebrating your future.
After we will separate, we are tied at our heart. I think so.
You are a plaintiff, I'm a defendant.
The more kind you are, the more I feel sad.
I feel more sad than you.
Consider the case of Sonoe.
She quit the job at the hall and became a dress maker.
Michi became a star and earned quite a lot.
Hamae is trading stocks after she saved money.
- You says it is because of me you cannot save. - Yes.
If only you could work, we don't need to separate.
I understand well.
Where will you go?
I will go for it.
Ah, I see it.
I never fail to get this job.
Please, wait until it.
I have waited it for many times.
I don't care you don't believe me.
- Well, Junko. - Railroad fair?
- No, I become hungry. - Bon appetit!
- And, well, - You'll need it anyway.
- Thank you. - You are welcome.
I will eat.
I'm afraid your soap might become cold.
Kamura Shuji?
How much do you want?
- The more the better. - What?
However, there must be a rule of your company.
I think it's a vain that I tell you my wish.
Naturally, it is.
However, you can say the price.
Before I say it, I need to know I could be employed.
- Well, you can't say? - That depends on you.
Alright.
Then, consider the following case.
Suppose there is a service station of our company.
There comes a beautiful lady customer.
- How will you behave as a clerk? - Well.
I behave not to be a disgrace of the company.
And I assume no different attitude toward the gender of the customer.
Well, then, how do you behave? Try to play it.
- What? - Play it.
- Here? - Exactly.
Well, I need a lady opponent.
- Lady? - Yes.
Mr. Isoyama, play a beautiful lady customer.
What? I?
- I'm in trouble. - Let's try.
- I'm in trouble. - Play it.
Well, then.
Please, wait.
I ask you about that lady. Does she come in for buying something?
Or she dropped in by attracting the beauty of the goods?
Mr. Kono, which shall we do?
Well, to see how good our products.
By attraction the beauty of them. - Of course.
- Then, she just dropped in. - Exactly.
- Pardon. How much is it? - Wait.
- The good must have a price tag. - Well...
This service station is intended for publicity.
I will add the price tag for all the products.
- Then, she will not ask the price. - Then what will she say?
Well, she'll say "I will buy it."
Then, I will buy it.
You don't have to say "then". Do it again.
- I will buy it. - Very good acting!
- I'm sorry. - He's insolent.
I will buy it.
- Yes. Is this what you want? - Yes, exactly.
- How long do you want it? - It costs 1.28 yen per yard?
You!
It's painful.
This is for my daughter's cloths.
She's in the third grade of girls' high. How long do I need for it?
Wait. Modern wives must know it.
- Well. - Don't you know it?
You must know it.
You'll be the chief of the service station!
- Mr. President. - I'm sorry.
Mr. Ana, that's enough.
Then, you will wait there.
Thank you.
Number 18. Number 18.
Number 18. If you hear me, you must respond.
I will not respond you, if I hear it.
Unless you respond, I regard you as not present, and leave you later.
What? Why? I don't know who is number 18.
Shut up!
Shut up? You are rude.
Why am I rude?
Listen. There's only one kind of man who responds with the number.
That's a convict!
- Convict? - Exactly.
Because I'm not a convict, I don't respond you. I have a name.
Call my name.
- Mr. Miki. - Here.
Come in.
Sit down.
Thank you.
- Are your name Nobu Miki? - No, that reads as Shin.
Shin in Shin'tsu line? I see.
He gave bad impressions for the testers.
That strategy sometimes works fine.
That appalls the testers.
Is that so?
Then, let's speak it to us what you know about nylon.
- How detailedly? - The more detailedly the better.
- Then, I will. It might take 4 hours. - What? 4 hours?
- It's not so easy to say it academically. - I propose more concise explanation.
- Yes, concisely. - All right?
Say it concisely.
Then, I will start.
In the beginning, the idea to make the beautiful precious silk artificially,
begin in 1734. Mr. Leomir in France advanced the theory
Mr. Leomir observed how a silkworm spit the thread,
and propose to stiffen gum or resin,
but he had not archived nothing practical.
Well?
Then, by the progress of the science, fibrin was found.
French Count Jardonne, in 1884, started manufacturing artificial fibrin silk.
Since then, for 44 years, with many investments and refinements,
now we have our nylon industry.
Well. Is that so?
Now the industrial products are categorized mainly in four kinds:
Fibrin nylon, ammonia nylon, enzyme nylon and acetate nylon.
You, please make it more simple.
The first method, fibln nylon, is categorized to Chardonne nylon, Dolbier nylon, chartreuse...
That's enough.
No, that only explains the origin and the kind of the nylon.
No, we don't need more. Alright, president?
Please, wait there.
It's regrettable. I'd like to speak more precisely how to make nylon.
Is it the nylon?
Mr. Isoyama, is the nylon what he explained?
You don't know about it?
I know, Chaliapin nylon is... please wait there.
Next, next.
Number 19.
Pardon.
It seems you have some knowledge about nylon.
- Did you hear me? - Yes.
I'm glad I were not drivedout.
Is this a public relations department?
I think so.
Are you graduate from technical college?
No.
I'm glad my questions were easy ones.
- Exam is a bluffing. - But you know about nylon.
I guess they will ask such things. I have memorized this one.
I see. You are clever.
But I don't have breakfast today because I bought this book.
I'm little hungry, but it is all right I could be almost employed.
This is my card.
Taniyama Ken.
I have no card. I'm only a jobless named Shin Miki.
I'm Kamura Shuji.
What were your questions?
I asked many things, but I could answer somehow.
- I have to act. - They asked me what's my special ability.
Will you show it to us?
- Please, do it for fun. - OK, then.
Then I will start.
Pardon.
- Well. - Very nice. Again!
Then I will do. Don't be tricked.
- It goes through the sleeves. - Well.
Are you ready? I will do it again.
That's funny. I'll try to do it.
Well.
Please, lend me this yen. I'm afraid I have no money.
- Alright. - Thank you. Let's help each other.
Ma'am, I've found a job at last.
- Sorry for having been worried. - That's fine!
I hope Junko would be glad. But she's...
- Where has see been? - She left it for you.
Money? It's a living expense for a month.
- It's impossible. - Mr. Kamura.
What a fool she is! She goes out and now I've a job.
Ma'am, why didn't you stop her?
I said to her to wait for your return.
She has tight will.
I can work at last. I'll go to the hall now.
She said she won't go the hall. Why?
She spent at her home for a while.
That sounds not real. She said so as I'll search her.
She called the taxi and directed to Tokyo station.
Yes. She will return again.
- She left here not because she dislikes you. - I see.
Ma'am, but I'm anxious though, I'll go searching her.
- Brother, Eiko has come. - I know it.
- Then come for greetings. - I don't like it as they think I'm greedy.
- Aren't you really impatient to go? - You has become bad.
- Eiko. - Is she there?
Come in. Don't hesitate.
- Welcome. - I have come here.
- Brother, congratulation. - What?
Congratulation.
- I've heard you've got a job. - That's not so proud.
- But, your mother is very glad. - She was anxious.
Brother, treat something for me. You should treat me for congratulate.
- You're not fair. You can earn salary. - Salary.
One who get salary must treat. Let's go to Ginza.
You has become a bad girl. You'll not be able to marry.
- Don't worry! - It seems you have confidence.
Because she's beautiful.
Is she beautiful? She looks like a bread hot from the oven.
With bean jam. It's sweet.
- Anyway, let's go Ginza. Eiko will go together. - If not I bother you.
You won't bother me. Then treat us dinner.
In advance?
OK. I like you.
Let's tell your mother so. I will. Sorry for disturbing you.
Brother. Let's prepare.
- Don't you? - That's a trouble for Eiko.
- Why? - You know it.
You are modest.
You are really glad.
We woman has pain, if we're spanked by bottom.
It serves you right. I'll let you treat me more.
Reiko, I should have called Mrs. Furuya as a tester.
It would be a trouble for her to such trivial test for employer.
- But it was your proposal - Of course it is.
Did Reiko meddle in the company business?
She insisted that we should choose handsome boys.
- You would agree with me. - Why?
What do you mean?
When people go for shopping or just watching,
they would be glad, if the clerk were favorable.
That's not bad of course.
Even for old grandmother like you?
You have the good feeling for pretty girls?
Of course not bad.
You see. It doesn't depend on one's age.
I see.
Anyway, I'll choose as Reiko would have a favor.
- Let's go for observing. - I will. As if we were the testers.
Don't tempt your mother! You're not polite using the word "tempt".
I don't think so.
That's because you have such feelings for young women.
What do you say?
That's not the word before the presence of our daughter.
That's the reason why Reiko refuses young women clerks.
I don't think so.
Hey, clear them away.
Welcome.
- Welcome. - One bottle of sake!
- Is your order a bottle? - Yes.
Sorry for the last time. Oh, it's you.
I thought I saw some recognizable face. I'm having supper.
We've met at an unexpected place.
We'll congratulate ourselves for getting jobs?
Well.
I've become strong because you are with me.
What?
Well, I've only 1 yen borrowed from that guy named Taniyama.
- He looks skillful. - He's interesting.
- Please give me a cup of it. - I'm sorry I'm not sensible.
Thank you.
Another one.
I feel something strange we would work together.
I leave that to you.
- Another bottle. - Yes.
Will you eat something?
Well, I'd like to order oden.
- Ma'am, oden, please. - I see.
Mr. Kamura, can you drink much?
- No, only a bottle or so. - So little?
I need at least three bottles to feel I'm drinking.
Are you so?
- Do you frequently go to Ginza? - Every three days.
Let's go together when we'll begin working.
That sounds fine.
- Here's yours. - How about this hot one?
Let's drink more. Don't hesitate.
No, thank you. It's not good to drink alone.
Has Harlot arrived to home? I guess so as she goes by train.
- I'm thankful to you that you see me home. - I have nothing else to do.
Well...
Your home is far from the station, isn't it?
In the daytime, we can see it!
So?
- Well... Does they say something about me? - Who says?
Your parents.
- What kind of things? - Haven't you heard it yet?
I don't know. I'll ask them when I return.
That'll makes me somewhat ashamed as if I sent you reminder.
Where's the bedding?
- It's in that closet. - I see.
I'll let you laying down. Wait.
I'm so sorry for you whom I met the first time.
- Don't care it. Stay here. - Where will you go back?
I? I could go back anywhere.
It was very funny today.
As I have a friend like you.
As we'll work together, let's become more friendly.
Let's become friendly more.
But we're glad as we can get a job.
Are you sleep already?
I sent you or you sent me?
You sent me? Or I sent you? I will go back.
I will go back.
Go back?
Yes.
If I go back late,
the Ma'am at tobacco shop will be worried about me.
Voila. She come for calling me back.
Mr. Kamura, it's unusual you are so drunk.
- Then, goodbye! - Where will you go?
- I'll be back home. - Here's your home.
Here's the place where Miki is sleeping.
The guest is sleeping at your bed.
I see. I'm too drunk to know where I am.
- Ma'am, good night. - Are you OK to sleep without changing?
Don't mind.
Pardon.
Me? What's the business.
All the goods here are made of nylon. If you need silk, go for other stores.
You must be silent!
I'm sorry. May I help you?
You're not permitted to talk. Just stand there.
Mr. Haruyama.
Please, let him kept silent. You have to help him.
You should be charming in such cases.
Try smiling.
He is a trouble.
You teach him. You're good. You are very good.
Pardon. Is this...
You!
- May I help you? - How is this size?
- Twenty. - Twenty, I see!
That's not friendly. But you had ordered me to keep silent.
But even though it was a order... You're very troubled.
- Since I was born. - What?
It's high time our president come. At now we have too few visitors.
Find some way to attract customers.
I will try to call them.
- I did not ask you. - How should we do?
I'll call them. I can draw in 70 or 80 customers sooner.
- What? How? - Watch.
What will he do? It's none of your business. Be quiet.
I see.
It's strange.
It's strange.
Are you observing the sunspot?
I see!
What happened?
Welcome.
Great turnout.
Your idea attracts modern people.
Not at all.
You have an interests on music.
I was a member of orchestra when I was a student.
- I play piano. - I play horn and trombone.
Then next time, come to my house with your instruments. I'll welcome you.
Thank you.
- If I phone you, will you come? - Yes, certainly.
- Be a good friend. - Yes.
I will scolded, if I'm idle so long.
- I'm home. - Welcome.
Aren't you with Mr. Kagawa? He said he has some business.
- Check it. - I'm in trouble.
Mr. Miki!
- Who are you? - I'm waiting for Kamura.
You are the sweetheart of him! Aren't you?
He'll back, but I don't know when.
Who are you?
I'm his best friend since his childhood.
As I work the same company with him, I also live with him.
- Is he working hard? - Yes, he is.
But I don't think much of him.
What is he doing?
- A kind of mannequin boy. - Mannequin?
At first, we think the job is at the office. But indeed it's not.
- I'd like to quit. - He will not quit, won't he?
That's mysterious. He said he's found life worth living.
So?
Brother, brother. Let's treat something to me.
Again? Ginza?
This time, I'm not satisfied with such cheap one.
What?
Now, I've heard what my parents talked in whisper.
You look very glad.
It's the thing that you could be glad with.
So? Let's talk it.
- Eiko asks you... - Wait.
She'll be my wife? You know it already?
No, but when I sent her home, she said something like that.
You're willing to marry her, aren't you? I completely agree.
Why don't you respond? Brother?
You're annoying!
You feel awkward, don't you?
Child, be quiet.
I'm worrying about it.
We need carefulness for marriage. The decision is not so easy.
You've been loving Eiko.
That's not the problem. I'm just managed to have a job.
Father said that will be decided when you have a job.
But... I won't talk it to you.
Brother. Brother! Go away!
You're bad.
It's time to return, but sometimes he comes late these days.
He must be lonely, if he comes back home.
Ah, there he is.
Welcome home.
Are you angry?
I'm unpleasant.
I'm sorry I have left you without consulting.
But I've heard of you from Ma'am and I feel glad.
I was abandoned. No, it's not true.
As I love you, we separated.
You will understand it.
Mr. Kanura, come here and talk.
I have heard of your work from your roommate.
I'm working somehow.
- I feel released as I hear it. - Thank you.
I was working in Yokohama since I left you.
In Yokohama?
I guess you tried to search me so hardly.
If I found you, you won't met me. I gave you up.
You, darling, can you go the guy named Miki away?
Why?
I'm ready to work in Tokyo again.
Will you come upstairs?
It's still earlier?
It might make you dull again.
You'd better stay in Yokohama for a while.
- So? - Mr. Kamura, you'd better live together.
But I think we could have some tense, if we'll wait for a while.
However, I'm tingling with excitement now.
Have you any sweethearts?
You will know it soon. We'd better live separately for a while.
So?
You live steadier. Well.
I...
am there.
Ma'am, please see him carefully.
Please, come frequently.
Goodbye.
What a lovely moon!
Mr. Taniyama, play the horn there.
We can be idyllic with the echo from the garden.
Well, as your have wide garden.
You hear?
It sounds better than an hysteric piano sound.
Do you think so?
Mr. Taniyama, what do you think about me? Am I selfish?
- No, I don't think so. - Can I marry as I'm so selfish?
Of course you can.
Some days, I think about marriage all day.
Most of my friends have become mothers. I'm in a hurry.
Miss, I think I should be going now.
You stay here little more.
But,
Until my parents come back. Are you annoyed?
- Not at all. - Let's have something cold.
Play it some more for me.
Miss.
I'm surprised.
Ready for cold drinks. So.
I felt asleep.
Miss.
They're back. Father and mother.
Mr. Takeyama.
- Have you finished your lunch? - Yes.
Do you know where Miki goes?
There was a phone call for him, he went out in a hurry.
So?
You look sick these days. Not so bad.
Love-sickness? It's not love. It's more than it.
A bourgeois lady's asking me to be a friend eternally.
It sounds polite, but we can easily imagine it will turn to love.
- I'm in the same situation with you. - A bourgeois lady?
- Yes. - What's her name?
Well, I cannot tell it for her honor.
My case it nearly about to marriage!
- Marriage? - I feel so happy only thinking of it.
That's fine.
I will call the lady.
Damn it!
- Please. - I will do it myself. Thank you.
Mother.
Let's have them. Well, I have them.
Pardon. Welcome.
Is it nylon?
Yes. It looks as if a real silk.
- We cannot distinguish. - It's done well.
- We have more upstairs. - Thank you. We'll go.
- Brother. - Don't come here!
I come with Eiko.
Go back. I'm ashamed to be seen by her.
Can you go out for a while?
It's impossible while I'm working. Go back soon.
Go back!
Go back!
- Is she your fiancee? No, it's impossible such homely is.
- Is it true? - True. No way.
Mr. Miki, you've good stomach.
I've eaten too much.
Young ones should be healthy as you are.
We can order various food.
Exactly. Real Chinese food is too much.
Without you, it would be wasted.
We have had various kinds of foods.
That's true.
Japanese-style one is enough little, but that's doesn't satisfied me.
Mother, that's impolite to him.
Don't worry. I'll come with you every time.
- Father, I'll go home by walking with him. - All right.
But you'll remember old things, if you see ships.
- Don't say it. - Don't make her fool.
Then let's go, Mr. Miki?
Well.
Mr. Miki, don't tell your colleagues.
It's not good for controlling, if they are envious with you.
I understand.
- He's a good straight man. - He eats like a pig.
We have good employees this time. I'll send them back to the office soon.
They are really good.
- I'm in trouble if you're crazy. - Indeed they are good.
Mr. Miki.
How do you feel when you see ships?
I cannot answer your sudden question.
I feel very romantic.
- I feel disillusioned. - Why?
I have worked on a ship.
You were a sailor?
- Yes. - Anyway I like ships.
It's romantic.
I feel rather more romantic walking with you.
You are brave!
It's a pleasure for men to walk with a lady.
- I'm afraid of you. - Why?
Because you are too straight.
But, it's a coward if man conceals his heart.
I'm feeling love with you when I met you first.
- Oh, with me? - Yes.
I'd like to proposing you, but with my situation...
It's unlikely that you hesitate.
Not a hesitate. I had no chances.
Why don't you do it now?
Isn't it a chance?
I can't dare to say it now.
Let's stop talking.
Keep silent while we'll arrive at home.
- I'm home. - Welcome.
- Give me cigarette. - No.
- You need cash. - Don't say so unlucky.
Well, here.
No, that is for the last one.
All right.
I dislike you.
Where have you been?
Funny man.
I'm glad.
Frankly, with the daughter of the president...
What? With Miss Reiko? What did you do?
Don't surprise so much.
Tell me now.
Don't so be Angle with my affair.
- No, I can't skip it. - Be calm.
When I go for lunch with the president.
- Miss Reiko asked me for walking together. - Walking?
Then? As if we were lovers.
- We've talked many things. - Talk?
You! Get out!
Why did you get angry?
You're the destroyer of my happiness.
You said odd things.
I have more concerns than you with Miss Reiko.
Then, is that so?
- I ask you to give her up. - No.
- No? - Love is free.
Get out! We're no more friends.
I will get out.
You can't change her will.
Don't cry later.
I'm a man. I never lose you.
OK.
Damn it!
I cannot imagine his opponent is Miss Reiko.
Damn it!
Fool!
Fool!
What's the trouble?
Frankly saying, I went for lunch with the daughter of the president.
With Miss Reiko?
He envied me.
I see.
Fool!
Hallo. Is Mr. Michi here?
- What? - Mr. Michi.
Mr. Miki.
Sun-chan.
Osen, why you come here?
I was told this place from the Ma'am at tobacco shop.
It's a shame on me you come here.
But I wanted to see.
- See what? - Your face.
Mr. Miki, chief is calling you.
Wait for me outside.
All are here.
I have something for you all.
It is,
since you have little time since entrance of our company though,
very special things from the president.
To say you, the daughter of the president,
and the Baron Ikawa who has returned from US,
have wedding reception. That's a invitation for it.
Baron Ikawa and she has engaged before he leave for US,
it's a very pleasant event.
What a pleasant event!
- Mr. Ishiyama, I want some time. - Where will you go?
I'd like to go to Yokohama.
For Chinese food?
Shut up! I'm not in a hurry.
I admit it.
- Mr. Ishiyama, I want some time. - You also?
I'd like to go my home.
You don't need to prepare it. The reception is the day after tomorrow.
I have another business.
I admit it.
Do you have any business?
My fiancee has just come from country.
- OK. You'd better show her Tokyo. - Thank you.
- You forgot it. - I don't need it.
Osen, I will show you Tokyo around.
Thank you.
- Don't hang on me. - What a magnificent store!
- Are you a head clerk here? - I'm a kind of that.
You have succeeded.
