TANDEM

Welcome.

Coffee.

This is Kosaka. I'm not in at the moment.

Leave your name after the beep.

Welcome.

Coffee.

Please stop.

Stupid bitch!

Waiter.

- Do you have cigarettes? - We don't have that brand.

Please.

Are you sure? -Not many left, though.

In that case...

Here you are.

Thank you.

Why not sit down? Here.

Sit down.

Ok.

Do you ride bike?

A big one?

So-so.

You can smoke these all. I've quit.

Just thirty minutes before I came here.

I decided to stop tobacco.

Is that so?

Have you just done it? Somewhere...around here.

Your face looks as if...

You see!

So you did it.

’’PEEPSHOW 1000 YEN"

You see, I was sure you had.

Because, for this hour of the day you look quite refreshed somehow.

Which means that you must just have pulled out somewhere.

Does that show on my face?

It shows! And how!

Really?

You know?

To be honest...me too!

You just pulled out too?

Just around the corner. In the "sauna".

For the first time in my life...

...I did in the train.

So I already came this morning.

But my excitement just didn't cool down at all...

...so after I finished my work, I came running to Kabuki-cho.

Even at my age you can still get so excited.

Of course.

Do you want another coffee?

No. thank you.

Why not?

Time to get to bed. One is enough.

Well. I can't force you.

So, I'll be going.

Are you leaving?

I have to go Yokohama. By bike as well.

Wait! I will leave too!

Please take these.

Leave this one to me.

Ok? This is my treat.

Waiter! The account, please.

Why don’t you leave him?

Do you think he’s planning to marry you? You're only being had.

Leave him!

It's not as easy as that.

I’ve been with him for so many years.

And I can’t say either that you make a very serious impression.

Am I not very kind?

Completely different from that man of yours.

Split.

I want to split.

- What's come over you? So suddenly. - Very simple. I found someone else.

What did you say!

I found someone else!

Stay away from me!

- Did you do it? - Of course.

- Did you do it with him? - I told you, of course!

Come!

Stupid bitch!

Stop!

Wouldn't you give me a short ride?

It’s been a long time since I rode a bike. You don’t mind, do you?

One round througn the neighbourhood!

Here we go!

’’KABUKICHO”

Mister Inoue!

I think of leaving this town.

Here we go again.

You’re still a kid.

I see you still don’t understand...

Leaving here...

... won’t bring you any good.

I want to go to Tokyo!

There’s nothing to go for.

Only a lot of people.

A young girl living on her own...

...won’t do...

...no good at all.

But...

...if I don’t go there I’ll never find out, will I ?

Smart girls...

...know before they act.

- I'm not smart. - You say.

I’m a stupid girl!

You say.

Mister Inoue, won’t you come with me to Tokyo?

Go there all the way to be dumped?

The moment I’ll do as you please...

...is the moment you'll dump me.

Where have you been! -To the sea.

What do you mean? I just was there.

Was Nobuko here?

So what?

- What will you be wearing today? A kimono? - Indeed.

People will be offended if you’re not properly dressed, won’t they?

Don’t worry. I’m taking care.

Lucky for you that the weather is so fine today.

What happened?

This should be enough.

Take the helmet off please.

There’s still some time ’till the first train...

...but I don't feel like accompanying you any longer.

You’re right.

Hey wait!

- What are you up to? - What's wrong?

The helmet. Wanna steal it?

I see. I forgot it.

Besides, having it on, is a lot warmer.

Are you alright?

This saved me.

By tomorrow something might start hurting...

...so I guess I’d better accept 50.000 yen straight away.

- Where do you want me to go? - To the sea.

The sea?

I'd like to see that dirty little sea near Chiba.

We won't be there before dawn.

Sea is best at daybreak.

Say!

Say!

What's up?

What is it?

Are you single?

No.

You’re married.

Not yet, officially...

We live together.

Cohabitation, I see.

Is there anything wrong with that?

I'm not saying that.

I once shacked up with a woman 20 years younger than me.

Why the silly face?

Unbelievable!

I had a wife...

but i got bored.

So I went up to Tokyo with this young girl.

Really?

But you know?..

All girls are the same, if I may say so.

All the same...

Nothing changes.

I don't like that sort of talk.

What?

I said I don't like your opinion.

I see.

Girls being all the same. You're mistaken.

That's all bullshit.

You're still young...

and serious.

Something wrong with being serious?

What the hell is he so mad about?

I'll kill you, asshole!

Alright?

Are you alright?

So what did you come here for?

Nothing...

What do you mean 'nothing'?

I was out drinking. In that bar around the corner.

Had 20 glasses of gin...

...Got drunk.

So what?

I was just wondering...

I could still keep it upright.

What's wrong?

What about my identity?

Let’s sleep in the grass tonight

Arid listen to the trains passing by

While nodding to the wind

That talks gently to us

Heaven is our home

A warm nest awaits us

As long as we are in this world

We can only wonder about

Say, mister. Just one request

Please take me to heaven

Where will the last train

Be running right now

I feel lonely tonight

And try to close my eyes fast

I'm running for this unknown town

Like a hobo in love

Spurred on

By love

I'll keep on dreaming

But at these moments

I'm always on my own...

I'm home.

I‘m home, Yumiko.

What the hell are you doing?

How much longer should I wait!

I just finished.

I always shit only once a day, so I do it nice and easy.

Is that one as long too?

As long as necessary.

Not like a horse?

Not that big.

I’m not talking about ’big’ but it being over in a second!

Like a pissing baby!

I’m home!

I’m home!

I’m home.

Welcome home.

Ever since I haven't met him again.

Not that I would like to.

That creep.

What are you up to?

It mustn’t be easy lately, selling cars that cost a million yen.

Madam, that’s just what I wanted to ask you.

One or two times won’t do.

- This will need a lot of service. - As you please.
