The stars float above me

And I ask them my fortune

Where will I find

Sleep tonight

Police raid!

It's not that I've let

My heart turn to stone

But I no longer have

Any tears to shed

Who was it that turned me

Into this kind of woman

- Bastards!
- Pigs!

Drop dead!

Fucking MPs!

Maggots!

Let's move it!

When the war ended, Tokyo
became a city of savages.

It was kill or be killed
in the battle for survival,

and the weak lost out.

Move aside, please!

Clear the path!

Dead man coming through.

Hey, Mr. Abe.

Find another stiff on the street?

It's a cruel world.

Come have a drink for better luck.

You guys go on ahead.

He's the second one today.

People have sunk so low.

Just eat my sweet potatoes

and I guarantee you'll never starve.

Seriously.

I'm not blowing hot air like
those old army announcements.

I brought 'em in special from Saitama.

Whadda ya say, sister? Eat
your fill of potatoes, folks!

- I'll take one.
- Thank you very much.

Hey!

Oh, no you don't.

You must be hungry.

Eat all you want.

Come back here, you bitch!

As a member of the Yoshino
syndicate, I can't let -

Give it a rest.

All right, Sen, just for you.

In exchange,

how about you and I get
together sometime soon?

Sure.

Out of my way.

Excuse me.

Would you know where
I could find some work?

Ever slept with a man?

Who's that?

She says she wants to join us.

- What's your name?
- Maya.

I'm Mino.

I'm Roku.

A mean little bitch, at your service.

It's hard at first, like any business.

Just watch us, and
you'll learn in no time.

You find your own johns and sell
yourself. It's not difficult.

No pimps getting in the
way and demanding a cut.

You've seen those signs
in the fish vendors' shops:

"Direct from producer to consumer. "

It's just like that.

Just remember one thing.

We're the only ones
who'll protect you.

So you better obey our rules.

If you see some bitch you don't know

doing business between
Yurakucho and Kachidoki Bridge,

find one of us right
away and catch her.

'Cause that's our territory.

Gotta defend our livelihood.

Times like that, or when
the police run a sweep,

the Yoshino family will protect
us. They control the market.

Come in here.

Fucking intruder!

- You're back.
- Yeah, hi.

Yo!

There's one other cardinal rule.

Never give it to a guy for free.

This is a business, and our
bodies are our merchandise.

If anyone starts giving it
away, we'll all be ruined.

Catch you doing that
and you'll be sorry.

We'll beat you within
an inch of your life.

Understand?

Back off!

Give me a chance to undress.

Don't mind me.

I could use a little
show to wake me up.

Hold it!

Fuckin' asshole.

You think you can barge in
here and get my blood running,

and then just pick up and leave?

Let me go!

Pay up and I will.

Is that all you've got?
You can't afford women.

Get lost!

Wait. You forgot this.

What's the big idea?

Trying to put me out of business?

Here. Be glad I don't
charge you for the room.

Oh, well.

Where're you back from?

South?

North.

Did your sweetheart go south?

Brother. Got sent to Borneo.

Likely story.

Wanna have a good time with me?

I'm not so hard up I need to
get it from a working girl.

Moron!

Here comes a jeep!

That's all.

Yikes!

Hey! Give that back!

Hey, mister.

What the hell?

What're you trying to do?

Come back here!

Buy a sweet potato.
Loaded with nutrition!

Direct from the producers.

One, please.

You're working hard. Need
to keep up your stamina.

Sen, you said we
could hook up sometime.

Sure. But just so you know,
I don't give discounts.

You're gonna charge me?

What do you expect? I'm
not some boiled potato.

Get serious.

Right.

Maya!

Ofuku broke our rule.

With a student who sells
lottery tickets in Yurakucho.

Went to bed with him for free.

What's that?

Poor Ofuku.

She had it coming.

You didn't have to cut her hair.

What's gotten into you?

Machiko.

That Machiko makes me sick.

Acting like Miss Goody Two Shoes.

She only joined us a month before you.

Wanna have a good time, mister?

I caught her hooking in our
territory, so I shook her up a little.

I'll show you a good time.

She started crying and
gave me a big sob story,

so I felt sorry for her.

She's disgusting.

Going like this all the time.

Hey, mister, let's
have some fun together.

You really have to go now?

I have to get up early.

Your wife's a lucky woman.

To have a husband who visits
her way off in Fukushima.

Her father would bawl
me out if I didn't.

That's the lot of the adopted husband.

A woman's happiest when she's married.

I'd sure like to be married again.

You said your husband was a teacher?

Yeah. Got called up in the
reserves and sent to Iwo Jima.

I sometimes wonder how he died.

It was awful. He had BO to kill.

I feel like I caught
the stench from him.

Smell me, will you, Roku?
- No way.

- Okay, I'm done.
- A final rinse.

Wash real good, Maya.

Disease and babies
are your worst enemy.

I know.

My mother and brother
died in the river.

At Daichigashi.

My brother was only seven.
He didn't have a chance.

Where were you?

At a factory in Osaki.

They say everybody who
jumped in the river died.

Even a sumo wrestler.
Died hanging onto a boat.

His hands were burned to a crisp
where they stuck out of the water.

Let's change the subject.

We all got hurt in the war.

That's what's called
the victim mentality.

When my brother got
killed in Borneo -

There goes Maya, talking
about Borneo again.

You should call yourself Borneo Maya.

That's not bad.

Roku, what was that
thing you said before?

What I said before?

That you should hate
everything. Spit on everything.

Spit on it?

That's right. Spit on it.

We'll spit on everything -

street urchins, tramps,
babies, workers, housewives,

parents, bigshots,

buildings, trains and trucks.

Realizing nobody will help us

lets us know what to expect.

What do you think you're doing?

And so, in order to eat, we
tightened the bonds between us.

The instinct for survival made
it happen of its own accord.

- Can I have yours?
- Forget it.

Don't try to cross us, sister!

We're not like the others you've seen!

We don't like people sticking
their noses in our territory!

Your territory? Backward thinking
like that lost us the war!

We live in a democracy now!

You think democracy
means sleeping with Gls?

Don't make me laugh!

We're sick of all that democracy
and brotherhood-of-man bullshit.

Keep hanging around here, and
I guarantee you'll regret it.

Asshole!

Run, Maya!

Run!
- No Yanks!

- Drop dead!
- Take that!

Let me through!

Cut it out!

Listen here, Sen!

We can't afford to have
you making trouble with Gls.

Fuck the Gls! They're just men.
You're a man, too, aren't you?

Why suck up to a bunch of Gl whores?

- Who're you calling Gl whores?
- You.

Trash!

Take a look at who
you're dealing with!

KOMASA OF KANTO

What do you think?

It's a real piece of work.

Nice body. You should
get a full-body tattoo.

I once knew a geisha with a white
spider tattooed on her thigh.

When she drank or strained real hard,

the white spider would
stand out real pretty.

In fact, that's what
got me into this line.

I just want power.

Awesome power, beyond my own.

I see.

Like people way back who tattooed
themselves to fight wild beasts.

Clear the way!

Move along! It's not a show!

What happened, Mr. Abe?

Some crazy returnee.

Stabbed a Gl just like that.

Were they having a fight?

It happened so quick,
I'm not real sure.

At least he showed the
Japanese spirit still lives.

You could show a little
more spirit yourself.

It's hard these days.

It's "democracy this, democracy
that" every time you turn around.

Over here, Maya dear.

No business for you either?

Nights like this, I
really hate this work.

- Fried noodles. Crisp.
- Coming up.

A woman belongs in the home.

My family was my father
and mother and me.

My father loved my mother,

and my mother loved my father,
and it was a happy home.

My father strayed once,

went off with another woman,

but he came back.

It wasn't because of me.

He couldn't forget my mother.

He couldn't forget her body.

I wonder if you
understand that, Maya dear.

Here's your noodles.

The relationship between a
man and a woman is physical.

Always physical.

You don't yet know the true
joys of the flesh, Maya dear.

Stuff that " Maya dear"
shit! Just call me Maya!

Hey, mister, wanna have a good time?

I do.

You got the money?

Don't worry.

Hurry up and do your
business. It's hot in here.

You're as bad as the
whores at the front.

Look who's talking!

It's you men who are
pathetic. Losing the war!

Oh, yeah?

So you gonna do it or not?
Let's see your money first.

Damn.

So long, babe.

- Where is he?
- He went out the window.

There he is, chief! He's getting away!

Machiko's been acting strange.
Doesn't come home much.

When she does, she
can't seem to sit still.

Right. Something's up with her.

Don't you think so, Maya?

She said she really hates this work.

If she hates it so
much, she should quit.

A whore shouldn't
try to play housewife.

She got sweet on a man whose wife
stayed in the country after the war.

We've got company.

Could someone go buy me some liquor?

You're hurt.

Just a scrape. If the MPs
come, get rid of them, will you?

They won't come here.
Maya, go get the liquor.

We meet again.

Are you the one who stabbed
the Gl in the market?

He had it coming.

Still haven't found him?

Maya.

- Does it hurt?
- Not a bit.

Twenty days and it'll heal on its own.

That's how our bodies are built.

Count yourself lucky.

The downpour washed
away your bloody trail.

The market was crawling with police.

You can stay here until
it heals. Right, Sen?

What's your name?

Shintaro Ibuki, former lance corporal.

So you're a returnee.

I feel like I'm in a field hospital.

What's your racket? S.T.?

Gotta be the X word.

B.T. is more his speed.

What the hell are S.T., X and B.T.?

Don't you know anything?

S.T. is a sneak thief,
the X word is extortion,

and B.T. is bicycle theft.

Idiots!

What good is it using
such obvious codes?

You think you're special or something?

Give me a break!

I do whatever I have to to survive.

I bet you're a hold-up man.

Anything less and
you're beneath contempt.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

As soon as that wound heals,
I want you out of here.

This place belongs to just us girls.

We'll see who goes
- you or me.

Just to eat and live -

he had more fight in him for
that than he knew what to do with,

and I watched him
with a feeling of awe.

As in primitive societies

where the strongest becomes chief,

Ibuki soon stood at the
center of our little community.

Is dinner ready?

I lived through years of
carnage on the battlefield.

You talk like you know life.

What a laugh!

You're just taking the easy
way and having your jollies.

Can't tell anymore
who's the sponge here.

He's just blowing off steam from
being cooped up too long, right?

Shut up!

I better be going.

I'll get yelled at if I'm late.

See you later.

Be a good boy and hold
down the fort for us.

Here you go.

What's keeping you? Get moving!

Shin, I'll leave this for you to eat.

You like pineapple?

In the mountains of northern China,

it made my day when it
came in with the supplies.

I thought it was the
best thing in the world.

I swore if I got back alive,
I'd stuff myself with it.

You eat like a glutton.

You bet I do.

Take away a man's appetite for
food and sex and what's left?

Spout all the high-minded
phrases you want,

but without those two
things, you haven't got shit.

Right. That's why we lost the war.

Even after losing, the bastards who
did this to Japan are still talking big.

I'll never again
believe a word they say.

I'm gonna live for sex and food.

Shin's got a hot
temper, but what a man!

He looks like a little
boy when he laughs.

It's like having my brother back.

I hope he stays with us.

Watch where you're going.

Do you have any canned pineapple?

- Sure. American.
- How much?

Twenty yen.

Don't let the MPs catch you.

Hey there.

Oh, it's you. Don't startle me.

Could I talk to you a minute, Sen?

You haven't seen that
guy again, have you?

What guy?

The returnee who stabbed that Gl.

You were with him when
the MPs came in, right?

Haven't seen him. Wouldn't
recognize him if I did.

Wait, Sen.

Here, have a cigarette.
Come over here.

He's a real gutsy guy.

He organized a heist from
a PX warehouse in Yokohama.

He had some returnee friends
in with him, and some Gls, too.

The Gl he stabbed was one of them.

A quarrel within the ranks, I guess.

What'll you do if you find him?

Just talk to him.

The others are all in custody,
but the goods are still missing.

And you want the goods?

I'm willing to pay, of
course. A little give-and-take.

I'll tell him if I see him.

Don't forget.

Hurry.

You bought some too?

It's not pineapple.

What're you doing?

What is it?
- Canned pineapple.

Canned pineapple?

Excuse me. Who are you?

I've been staying here.

You one of the group?

- Yes.
- You're different from the others.

Hi. Nice to see you.

Sorry I can't stay. Give
the others my regards.

She makes me want to throw up!

With Ibuki the central figure,
someone was going to break ranks,

which presented a serious
problem for our survival.

It was time to make clear,
individually and as a group,

what the consequences
of betrayal would be.

Sen, Machiko's finally done it.

She broke our rule.

She gave herself away for free.

I knew all along she'd do it.

Sounds like it's time
to crack some bones.

If you have definite proof,
we'll make her pay for it.

I've got proof, all right. Last
night I was at Karasumori Hotel.

This is for tonight.

Don't worry about it.

I decided I wasn't
going to charge you.

But...

When I'm with you, I
feel like I'm your wife.

When I'm with other men,

I tell myself I'm doing
it so I can see you.

That's what makes it bearable.

Machiko!

Look at me.

Look at me.

Why the gathering?

We've got something
interesting to show you.

What?

You'll see in a minute.

Here she comes.

Where is everyone?

- I wonder what they wanted.
- Machiko.

Take off your kimono. We're
gonna give you a thrashing!

I haven't done anything.

Don't give us any lip.

Get your clothes off or
it'll only make things worse.

Roku heard everything.

Your disgusting cries of
ecstasy. Hurry up and strip.

Damn. Nice body.

Filthy bitch!

I don't care if she dies.
Give her what she deserves.

You gotta beat her on the
ass for it to sound good.

Roku.

You don't know what
it's like to love a man.

You're jealous.

You're jealous of me for knowing
secrets of the flesh that you don't.

Pull.

Heave-ho, up she goes.

Give it to her, Sen!

Bitch!

You take us for fools?

Harder, Sen!

Take that!

You broke our rule!

Stop groaning!

Give it to her, Maya!

More!

Learned your lesson yet?
Selling your body is a business.

Do it for free and you're just a slut!

Damn. We're being too tame about this.

I have an idea.

Wait just a second.

What're you gonna do with that?

Just watch.

Great idea!

She'll never be able to
show herself to a man again.

On your feet, Machiko.

If you resist, you'll only get hurt.

What're you going to do to me?

Here goes.

If you do that, I'll kill myself
and come back to haunt you.

Fine. Haunt us if you want.

Don't be such idiots.

Wind up your vicious
game and let her go.

Pressing my lips to a shiny red apple

I gaze in silence at
the bright blue sky

The apple doesn't say a word

But I know just how it feels

The apple is so sweet

The kid's a good kid
A good-natured kid

And just like the apple
the kid's so very sweet

The apple doesn't say a word

- Back off!
- Get away!

- You dirty rat!
- Get lost!

American stew's the
best. Full of nutrition.

Cheap, too.

Single file!

Wait your turn!

Get me a bowl here, chief.

Stop pushing!

Get in line!

Do I have something on my face?

You remind me of a boy I knew.

Back in Yokoami, when
I was in third grade.

He played the red
demon in our class play.

A barrel maker's son.

Dark skin.

He looked good in the
red demon's paper mask.

Are you saying I
look like a red demon?

I don't know.

Maybe you remind me
more of my brother.

The kid who played the hero
was the son of a sumo referee.

He was smart but stuck-up,
and I didn't like him.

The red demon was one of the bad guys,

but I thought I wouldn't mind
getting eaten by a demon like him.

You had a crush on him?

Yeah.

When he moved away to Jujo,
I couldn't eat for a week.

How old are you?

Eighteen.

A wounded beast once healed

longs to return to his
free and savage life.

Ibuki started making forays into town.

You hadn't come around, so
I thought you'd left Tokyo.

I've been concerned about
what I left with you,

but I'd like you to hold
it for me a little longer.

I'll come and get it soon.

What is it?

It's not hot, is it?

Nothing like that.

I wouldn't ask my best friend's
father to do anything risky.

Just don't get desperate
and do something reckless.

Especially after being lucky
enough to make it home alive.

Though it's hardly a country
worth coming home to anymore.

Still,

you gotta count yourself lucky,
considering those who didn't make it.

The key is money.

Can't do a damn thing
without a chunk of money.

Shin,

you know you can't
keep this up forever.

You'll be caught eventually.

I'll skip town before that happens.

That's not what I'm talking about.

If you need a chunk of cash,

remember that offer I brought
from the Yoshino syndicate?

You've still got that PX
stuff hidden somewhere, right?

I agree. That's your best bet.

There was that offer, wasn't there?

I wonder...

I think it's a bad idea.

Just keep doing what you've been
doing. That's what suits you best.

Hold on.

You say the guy's here now?
- Right. He just arrived.

But boss...

- Hey, mister.
- What do you want?

Come on, boss.

Thank you, sir.

Thanks.

Hey.

Everybody move it.

Get out of here.

This is Mr. Ishii, our boss.

Pleased to meet you.

What have you got?

The goods, I mean.

Penicillin.

About 200 vials. I want
to sell the full lot.

How do I know you're not
selling me a bill of goods?

It's not bogus, is it?

If you don't trust me, forget
it. There are others interested.

Seems everybody's learning
our business these days.

All right.

Boss!

Give him the money.

I can never wear
this dirty suit again.

This is to cover clothing costs.
- Want a receipt?

Not necessary.

But if anything goes wrong,

we'll hold you responsible.

When can you deliver?

The goods are stashed on
the other side of Matsudo.

I can go up there and be
back the day after tomorrow.

Fine.

Think about it, okay? I
finally made up my mind.

I wonder.

Can a woman like me
really be your wife?

After everything you said before?

I don't know. It seems like a dream.

I'm 40 now, and tired of
being my father-in-law's slave.

I want my freedom. You and I
can get a new start together.

What do you say?

That's so romantic.

You're a good man.

I'm so happy.

That'll be 45 yen.

Thank you very much.

- Ramen, please.
- Me, too.

Having a merry old time?

It's not what it looked like.

How is everyone?

They're like house mice,
those no-count hookers.

They crawl around in the dark,
eat, go to bed, and that's it.

I thought you were their friend.

Forget that.

I hate them.

Wet behind the ears, but acting
all worldly. Makes me sick.

I'd like to throttle them.

What do you say, Machiko? Want
to hang out with me tonight?

Sure.

I'll follow you anywhere.

How could you know how I feel?

Machiko's a demon.

A demon trying to possess Shin.

I'll become a demon, too.

- It's so strange.
- What?

It'd been my dream for so long

to be a proper married woman again.

But for some reason,

when the chance finally
comes, I don't want it anymore.

It's not that I'm worried.

I don't see the value in it anymore.

The way to judge value is to commit
to something and go for broke.

Thinking about it in the
abstract won't get you anywhere.

After losing the war, Japan's
got to go for broke, too.

Hit bottom, suffer the hard
times, and rebuild from scratch.

That's the only route to a new life.

Are you talking about yourself

or me?

I'm saying don't believe in anything
you haven't laid your own hands on.

Say.

Why don't we move in together?

You know you don't mean that.

This was just a
diversion for both of us.

Shin didn't come home.

I suppose that means
he's gone for good.

Machiko did it to spite us.

But how could Shin -

Shut up, Roku! Shin's not to blame!

He's back!

What're you going to do with that?

Eat it.

We cooked a lot of cows
and pigs at the front.

If you guys don't eat better,
you'll get skinny as green onions.

How're we going to eat it?

- How do you think? I'll kill it.
- Kill it?

Damn, that was hard work.

Mino, you go out front and rubber.

Okay. Can I have a cig?

- What's "rubber"?
- She's keeping watch.

Wipe yourself off with this.

That's strange.

What's the matter?

My cow's gone.

Your cow?

- She's definitely not here.
- That's right.

Something smells.

Look.

Keep up the good work, Officer.

That's... um...

Excuse me... that's...

Officer!

Roasted sweet potatoes,
one yen. Real tasty.

What's going on?

They got wind that
Ibuki was here yesterday.

Roku, you go on home.

They're threatening to
close down the whole market.

Is there any way, I wonder...

Any way to what?

This is awkward,

but since I was the
contact on this deal,

I'll get grief if there's
any trouble for the syndicate.

What are you trying to say?

Could you get him
to call the deal off?

Return the advance?

You're funny. A grown man
acting like a little kid.

Don't be ridiculous.

This might be wood alcohol,
but have some if you want.

I'm drinking.

I'll have some, too.

Don't blame me if it kills you.

If it kills me, I'll
come back and haunt you.

Knucklehead.

If it kills you, it'll kill me,
too, since I'm drinking the most.

I don't care if it does kill me.

Me neither.

Beef is 40 yen a pound, right?

We sell our bodies for the same price.

You're right.

Something's crazy when our
bodies cost the same as beef.

Don't you think so?

If we're eating 40-yen beef,

and selling our bodies for
40 yen, then which is it?

Are we eating to sell our bodies,
or selling our bodies to eat?

And either way, what
are we living for?

I have no idea.

Don't think so much.

It's because you're alive that
you can have a feast like this.

Isn't that enough?

I was amazed, Shin,

how you managed to drag
it down those narrow steps.

The cow, I mean.

Hell, when I was in northern China,

I went up cliffs and deep into
valleys with a donkey in tow.

I'm an expert donkey driver.

It must have been really tough.

Shut up! I don't want your sympathy.

You couldn't possibly
imagine what I went through.

With wounded buddy on his
back He treads the pathless way

A dark march through battlegrounds
As the night turns to rain

Sorry to be such a burden
Says a voice upon his back

Forget it, he says
And marches firmly on

The steps of the soldier

Ever proud and strong

My brother took this with him.

You think they have donkeys in Borneo?

Borneo? No idea.

That's right. You said
your brother died there.

"Congratulations on
your call to colors. "

Sad, isn't it? This flag.

So many men got one of these,
only to get themselves killed.

With wounded buddy on his
back He treads the pathless way

A dark march through battlegrounds
As the night turns to rain

Sorry to be such a
burden Says a voice -

Come on, everybody. Liven things up!

The stars float above me
And I ask them my fortune

Where will I find sleep tonight

It's not that I've let -

I'll show you how we crossed the
Yellow River under enemy fire!

All right!

In attack and in defense
Its steel sides lean out

A floating fortress standing
tall On it we can rely

The floating fortress will
before the rising sun protect

The four and distant corners
of His majesty's sacred realm

Fight hard, Shin!

Brother.

- It was suicide.
- Suicide?

What a bunch of weaklings!

Come on, Shin. Let's drink.

I've had all I can take.

Shit. I'm sleepy.

Is it true you slept with Machiko?

Yeah.

Are you crazy? With that loser?

You got that wrong.
Machiko's a real woman.

Shin.

I'm a woman, too, you know.

Shin!

Shin.

What's gotten into you?

Flashing your tattoo and
acting tough is more your style.

Shin!

Enough already! I'm
tired! Leave me alone!

Fuck off, you son of a bitch!

Useless bum! Thief!

I'm kicking you out of here tomorrow.

Harder, Sen!

You take us for fools?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm going to kill you
and then kill myself.

Damn it!

Take me.

I love you.

I love you.

Where are you going?

To sell the beef.

There's much more than we can eat.

Sen said

she was going to kick
you out in the morning.

Maybe it's time for me to leave.

Wait, Shin.

Can I ask you just one thing?

You're the first man I've ever loved.

For the first time, I've felt human,
but now I'll get kicked out of here.

The moment I become a
real woman, I'm an outcast.

How will I survive?

Does feeling human mean
you can't go on living?

Will I fall by the wayside?

How am I supposed to know
heavy stuff like that?

Want to go away with me,
somewhere nobody knows us?

If you do, come to
Hinode Bridge at 9:00.

I've got a couple things
to take care of before then.

I'll be there.

I'll be there for sure.

Roku, go to the market
and tell Abe everything.

This is the problem with letting
a man like that hang around.

He'll get what's coming to him.

Right. Can't have people
thinking we work with him.

Okay.

Let's give Maya a thrashing and
kick her out like we did Machiko.

Shin's unforgivable,
but Maya's just as bad.

Are you serious?

Why would I lie?

Hurry, or he'll make
off with your penicillin.

The penicillin!

Hey, everybody!

Go tell the boss to get the MPs.

That fucking bastard!

I get nervous when someone asks
me to keep something for him.

I always worry I might lose it.

Might have been better if you had.

What is it, anyway?

The personal effects of a war buddy.

I couldn't find out
where to take them.

But I didn't have the
heart to burn them.

Honor the departed
soul by keeping them.

Sorry to bother you so
early in the morning.

I've got to be going.
Take care of yourself.

So you're going?

You take care, too.

Drop me a line when you get settled.

Find yourself a good
wife and start a family.

Hold on a second.

For luck.

- Roku!
- Mino!

Ready?

Heave-ho!

A little higher.

The stars float above me
And I ask them my fortune

Let's take a break.

Where will I find sleep tonight

It's not that I've let
My heart turn to stone

Shin.

But I no longer have Any tears to shed

Who was it that turned
me Into this kind of woman

They got him!

Get him out of the water.

You grab him there.

Damn! It's not the penicillin.

- Wanna have a good time?
- No, forget it.

Jerk.

- Wanna have some fun?
- How much?

Fifty yen? Okay.

I'd fallen by the wayside.

But I was determined

to cling to the
happiness of the fallen,

even if it dragged me
to the depths of hell.

THE END
