GOTO workshop, hello.

I'll put you through.

Boss, it's for you.

Hello! Thanks again for your purchases.

You help us through this crisis.

Let's have a drink. How about it?

My usual bar, around 18:00.

See you soon.

I've finished. I'm off.

Alright.

Are you taking the client out tonight?

With this crisis, we must pamper him.

- See you tomorrow. - Have a good evening.

It's a bill.

Fine.

Well!

- Going out? - Yes.

I'm taking a client out.

- You'll be late again. - There's nothing I can do.

So, you've learned swimming?

- I swam 200 m all by myself. - Great.

- See you tonight. - Have a good evening.

Shimako, come play with me.

- Shimako... - Yes?

I'd like to speak to you.

Can we go to your room?

It's the nursery school's principal's nephew.

He's well off.

A real catch.

Who is she?

Are you in love with someone?

You never answer me!

I haven't got anyone...

You have no relatives left.

Then, you must start a family.

Mother,

Can I go playing with Shimako?

Are you busy?

No, I've finished.

- Could you take care of Akemi? - Sure.

Where d'you want to go?

Wait for me, Akemi!

"Granny, it's me,

"little Red Riding Hood.

"Look,

"I've picked these flowers for you."

Little Red Riding Hood said again.

Still,

her grandmother didn't answer.

Strange.

The little girl was very astonished.

She went close to her grandmother's bed

and drew the curtains.

She was fast asleep.

"Granny,

"what big ears you have, today!

"It's for better hearing you, my child.�

That's how the wolf answered.

And then...

"What big eyes you have today!

"It's for better seeing you, my child.

"What big arms you have today!

"It's for better hugging you, my child.

"0, granny,

"what big mouth you have today!

"I'm afraid.

"This mouth...

"It's for eating you!"

Saying this,

the wolf jumped her.

A glint shone in the wolf's eyes.

WET WEEKEND

- Here itis. - Thanks.

Turn around.

I don't have any time.

Are you tired?

It's the heat.

I'll come again tomorrow afternoon.

But tomorrow's Sunday.

You'll be with your wife. Come tonight.

But I've got a client tonight.

I'll come if I can.

Your wife has proposed a meeting again.

She really wants to get you married.

Show your mug.

Who's this greenhorn?

Looks impotent. Forget it.

Are you jealous?

No, I find it hard.

Picturing you married to a brat.

Find yourself a guy like me, and I'll approve.

Say...

Have you slept with your wife lately?

Of course I haven't!

Buy me this.

This?

- This also? - Yes.

You've hurt me!

Take everything you want.

It's me who decides.

Where's the money?

Do I look like having any?

Haven't got a dime.

1 got hurt for nothing.

You don't look like a pro.

Take this.

How miserable...

I hate this.

Then I'll lend them to you. You'll give it back later.

Is it alright?

Thanks.

I'll give it back.

And I'll write you an IOY.

No need!

"Against the shut down of the factory!

"CEO Sato, resign!

"Kotobuki Workers' Union.�

You've got a nice job!

But the factory will shut down.

Suddenly, you need money.

No.

I made a bet with a girl.

I bet I could steal.

To prove her my courage.

You are young.

- I'm going. - Stay a little more.

Have a drink.

- lce? - No need!

You look like my brother.

What's he in, your brother?

He ran away when he was 18 years old.

I haven't seen him since.

What a heat!

Take your shirt off.

Come on, make yourself comfortable.

Let me go.

I'll undress you.

- No. - Don't be afraid.

- No. - Let me do it.

- No! - Yes!

No.

Quickly!

It's my cousin. He's passing through Tokyo.

Don't make fun of me!

Why're you lying?

You have no relatives left.

Where did you come out from?

And you, have you looked at yourself?

Who d'you think you are?

Scram!

Moron.

Iam no moron!

- Enough! - You, scram!

Moron!

Next time, I'll kill you!

- I'll give you your money back. - Forget it!

Where did you get this cockroach?

A drunkard was laying around. This young man sent him off.

The drunkard broke a window.

- I'll go see. - No, stay.

Anyway,

I don't want anyone here.

And you? You don't stop lying to me.

You still aren't divorcing.

Not so simple.

Have a little more patience.

Maybe I'd better marry.

Stop your bullshit.

You know I love you.

On the other hand,

you'll never be able to leave me.

In the end, I just don't know.

I have my arguments.

You'll see.

No, not like this!

No!

I'll never leave you.

Never!

That's what I was saying.

I convinced you.

I don't want to go.

A marriage, it's a nice thing.

You'll see the beautiful bride.

And then, there're cakes.

You'll enjoy yourself.

Get dressed.

I don't want to go.

I want to play with Shimako.

You are disgusting.

Akemi!

Be a good girl, or we'll send you to live somewhere else!

Akemi!

No use insisting.

Let's leave her with Shimako.

Can you phone her?

You only do what you like.

Dear...

Help me.

- I've found you! - At last.

It's my turn.

One, two, three...

I don't like girls. They're too complicated.

I hope this time,

it'll be a boy.

What?

Are you pregnant?

Could be. I'll go see the gynecologist.

Well!

What a surprise!

It'll be a boy I'm sure!

- Think so? - Of course!

Akemi.

Listen to me carefully.

Your mother

will have a baby.

I like babies.

I like caressing babies.

- Poor Akemi. - Why?

Because mommie won't take care of you anymore.

It doesn't matter. You'll take care of me.

You know, with cats,

when a kitty is born, its bigger brother runs away.

What does it mean, "run away"?

It means he leaves home.

- Shall I wash you? - You are really nice tonight.

We should be careful because of the baby.

Don't use this to cheat on me.

Idiot.

Here.

My hair...

What're you looking at?

I've touched the base.

- No. - Shut up.

I touched it.

- Yes, you're right. - Alright.

It's safe I

I was right, it's safe .

You've lied to me.

What're you talking about?

You slept with your wife.

Moron.

We haven't fucked in a long time.

Well, who's the father?

She's pregnant, isn't she?

It's from necessity.

And you made me have two abortions?

Shut up.

Don't you talk about that here.

Safe, safe!

How did you find me?

Your union told me.

- We can't even sit down. - Well?

Do you want your money?

No, I've only come to see you.

I'll clean up a little.

- Stop! - Let me.

Can I stay here for a while?

What?

But you drove me away.

Do as you wish.

I'll take a leave.

I've never skipped a day's work.

You've cleaned up.

As a mattter of fact, my darling parasite...

Can you do me a favor?

Let's hear it.

Get undressed.

You don't want to?

Then, go away.

Dirty brat.

It's from birth.

Don't look at me, I'm not young anymore.

- Wait. - I'm ina hurry.

Shit...

These are nice vegetables!

It's not expensive!

Hello, madame.

We must react.

We must unite

so we can run the factory.

And we'll defeat the crisis.

You're right.

Self-management is essential.

- I'm no worker anymore. - Yes, you are!

You still are.

But you were fired.

That's what we're fighting for.

We must unite.

Well!

You want to betray the workers?

I'm just a traitor.

Stop your bullshit!

Brute!

Workers are losers.

What does a woman understand from all this?

I'm also a worker.

Is there a union where you work?

Let's fight with courage

Nothing will stay in our way

We are the fighters with iron masks

Our fists are raised

Spirit up

Our fists are raised

Since I've come to Tokyo,

I'm bored at work.

I already had enough,

long before the factory had closed.

Me also, I'm bored at work.

For ten years,

it's the same thing every day.

It's by boredom that you sleep with your boss?

Maybe.

It's becaue I'm bored.

But he exhausted me.

- Sexually? - No, something else.

We never grow tired of sex.

They might get up.

It's more exciting when someone sees US.

- More exciting? - I'm sure.

Not yet.

Wait.

Control yourself.

Please.

Not yet...

It doesn't matter. We'll start all over.

It's true I'm only a traitor.

Osamu!

Who's this girl?

And you, where were you?

I got dumped.

By your friend?

It's the summer of my 18th year,

and my second unhappy love affair.

I shouldn't have fallen in love.

I thought so.

But I don't like your methods.

You go shopping, and you vanish.

Here's what I bought.

And here's the rent.

How did you manage?

Doesn't matter. Take it.

You know, I'm sleepy.

I didn't get any sleep last night.

Who is it?

I don't care.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

What're you doing here?

It's my bed.

You should have told me you had someone.

She doesn't count.

It just happened she followed me one day.

Oh, yes? That's how you see me?

You met because of our bet.

True.

Some kind of trio we are.

We should live together.

- Even if it's crammed at Osamu's. - But...

You're lying!

- Who were you with last evening? - I've already told you.

You're bullshitting me.

You were with someone else.

D'you think I have time for something like this?

The three of us...

We should be able to do it.

One and two.

One and two.

Bon app�tit.

I'm hungry!

It stinks!

Your curry is sweet.

Not at all.

Isn't it so?

You are mean.

You got the recipe wrong.

I understand.

I'm leaving.

- You prefer being with Shimako? - Not at all!

I'll be the one leaving.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - Yes!

I've got a idea.

I'll move in at Shimako's flat.

We'll swap for the time being.

Is it ok with you?

Why not?

My keys.

Shi... ma... ko...

Where were you?

No!

Who are you?

Excuse me.

You are...?

One of Shimako's friends.

And you?

But where is Shimako?

I understand.

You are Shimako's lover.

You're wrong.

Shimako is dead worry.

It's your fault.

Say,

you must know where she is.

Tell me.

Well.

It's a secret.

You could have let me known. He really scared me.

But, as he gave me money, I've forgiven him.

Does he pay you well?

He never gave me anything.

Then, is it love, with this guy?

You're annoying.

But I'm right.

She came to you because of that guy.

I'm leaving.

You're leaving?

After all, you can't forget your bloke.

I think I understand the way she's feeling.

- Then, why drive her away? - 1 didn't.

Don't try to understand. It's women stuff.

Anyway,

her former guy's disgusting.

Did you sleep with him?

Guess.

Confess.

And you, did you fuck with Shimako?

Yes, we've done it.

You must find me immature,

compared to her.

Not at all.

I'm sure.

I said no.

Show me what she did.

Shut up a little.

You're cutting my enthusiasm.

Sorry.

You know...

Lately,

I haven't been too reactive.

Too much, for being natural.

Ouch!

Shimako!

Where were you?

I was busy.

Of course I'd like to get married.

Then,

- You have a lover. - Yes.

As a matter of fact,

he's married and has a daughter.

Yes?

But consider it carefully.

You are 30.

This is not a normal life.

You must accept this meeting.

Leave your lover for starters.

I could mediate.

I'd want to leave him.

But I can't make up my mind.

It hurts!

It must be tough.

I understand.

But you must make up your mind.

I'm sorry for you.

- Why? - You were crying.

You are right.

You want to escape?

Like in the cat story?

Yes, we'll get away from home.

Agreed.

I want to get away.

Want a race?

He's got a cute girl, this guy.

True.

High time to bring her back, isn't it?

What if we kidnapped her?

What?

- Kidnap her? - Yes.

You need money, don't you?

Yes, but...

It could be amusing.

Shut up.

The little one could tell everything.

I'll make it my business.

It'll be difficult.

And then, it's a crime.

How much should we ask as ransom?

- 50 or 100 millions? - You're dreaming!

Let's see...

One million, maybe.

Well, that's not bad.

Wait...

I understand.

Akemi, come here.

Can you keep a secret?

- Of course. - Swear it.

Alright.

Listen...

Hurry up! Call the police.

Stay calm.

Shimako...

Did you really see a suspicious guy loafing in the park?

Yes, I'm sure.

It's my fault. I'm really sorry.

Better go to the police.

Stay calm!

If it's a kidnapping,

the kidnapper will surely call.

Don't worry.

Akemi is in good health.

For the ransom,

I only want a million.

Cheap, isn't it?

It isn't really a kidnapping.

But...

if you don't pay,

I'll denounce you

to your wife and clients.

I'll tell them you sleep with your employee

who lives close to you.

And that you also go around with young girls.

I understand.

l accept.

Tell me when and where?

The park in front of the gas reservoirs.

Don't hang up!

Darling...

Is Akemi fine?

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

So it's her...

It's daddy!

- And the money? - You amateurs!

D'you think I'll go for it?

- So, shall we tell your wife everything? - If you want to.

I know Shimako will never be able to leave me.

Is that your final word?

Daddy!

Idiot!

I was so afraid, Akemi.

My darling...

Really,

I'm sorry.

You mustn't play with Shimako anymore. D'you understand?

Women without children

can't understand this feeling.

I'll leave you alone.

When I look back to my past

I see all those years of love

I was just a skiff tossed around by the waves

Big or small waves

Sometimes I was in paradise

Sometimes I thought I was in hell

Now, you'll answer!

The girl said she was your friend!

Well?

- Did you want to provoke me? - Let me go.

I know you set this up.

Answer!

We're through.

What?

If you doubt me so much,

I'll resign and leave.

D'you want us to separate?

Yes.

And you will live with this guy?

It doesn't concern you.

Damn!

Slut!

- Are you hitting me? - Shut up!

You'll see...

You'll see!

Wait...

- Stop... - No!

You'll be sorry.

You disgust me.

Shut up.

That'll teach you.

What happened?

He's wary.

Did he understand?

Yes, from the beginning.

Let's forget it. Besides, I'll resign.

Are you going to leave him?

Congratulations!

He's a jerk, and then, he's old.

He says you'll never be able to leave him.

Is it true?

It was. Not anymore.

What d'you intend to do?

I don't know yet.

Pity for the ransom.

We were careless.

Don't hesitate.

If you're not ashamed of me,

go on.

Go on with what?

Fuck as long as you're here!

Are you jealous?

Not at all.

Come on, fuck!

I'll study the old woman's technique.

Might prove useful.

No, Shimako.

Pleae, stop.

Osamu...

Pleae, stop.

No, Shimako. Stop!

I was joking!

No!

I don't want to!

No!

If you ask me,

one mustn't acknowledge defeat.

We'll take Akemi back.

It won't work.

I'll do it. 1 will.

It's in here.

Be sure it's the right window.

Akemi...

Don't look back...

If it's for the money...

No.

No!

Let me go.

No.

Don't look back

Don't look back

Be happy. Farewell. Shimako.

Akemi, what are you doing here?

Mother will scold you.

I'd like her dead.

- Why? - Like that.

Say, Akemi.

I'll tell you the rest of the story of the Red Riding Hood.

The rest?

Yes.

Here it goes:

The wolf jumps the little girl,

and tears her up into little pieces.

Then...

he starts eating her.

He was very hungry.

You're lying!

The hunter took the girl out of the wolf's belly.

It isn't true.

She was torn into pieces.

So she was dead.

The wolf...

He did like this.

I don't love you!

Akemi...

Farewel!
