Red Beard Page #2

---

It means this place

doesn't suit me.

Even bad food tastes good

if you chew it well.

Same with our work here,

if you try hard.

I hear your things are here.

Why don't you bring me your notes?

I refuse.

Refuse? Why?

I studied Dutch medicine,

developing my own diagnoses and cures.

They are mine

and not for others!

Medical knowledge

belongs to everyone.

Doctors get rich

just by curing cataracts.

We don't gossip here.

Bring me your notes

and change into your uniform.

Go and get me some sake!

We don't drink sake here.

That's why I'll drink!

I'll break every rule!

No uniform.

I'll be such a nuisance,

he'll ask me to leave.

Get me some sake!

You're a nuisance.

Don't you understand?

It's you who won't understand.

No one's allowed here,

so I came.

Hoping to get Dr. Niide mad

so he'll dismiss you?

But...

You can't fool him

by acting like a child.

And is that the only reason

you came here?

What's that?

Interested in my mistress?

I won't deny it.

As a doctor, I'd like to treat

an unusual patient.

Unlike Mori,

I specialized in medicine.

I know more about curing

than Red Beard.

Why not help

the other patients then?

Any doctor can help them.

You're just talking.

I don't believe it.

Don't believe what?

Not Dr. Niide, but the others

are interested in her.

Dr. Tsugawa...

Tsugawa? What'd he do?

He came to see her

while I was out,

and almost...

Luckily, there were bars

between them.

I'm not like him.

I wonder.

It's hard to believe men.

I don't believe women.

I've suffered enough

for believing one.

Where were you?

A visitor.

Masae, she said.

Chigusa's sister,

she said to tell you.

Chigusa? I won't see her.

Tell her I'm out.

Sahachi, go to bed!

Yes, right away.

We've told him too.

He works, then buys eggs and fish

for the patients.

Gives away his own medicine...

gruel too.

And he's very sick himself.

He's a bother.

I'm sorry.

I'll be through very soon.

They're all too much!

What are you doing?

Going to keep it up?

No one's going to waste any sympathy

on your sulking.

Least of all Dr. Niide.

He won't change.

Think carefully. You yourself

stand to lose the most.

Tsugawa's gone. Dr. Niide's

very busy and short of help.

It's very late,

yet he's still out seeing patients.

But you...

He's been saying for a long time

he wants good doctors.

Especially here at the clinic.

Good, dedicated doctors.

Tsugawa was no good.

That's why he expected

a lot of you.

That's not what he expected of me.

I know.

What is it then?

He called me here to get

my notes and drawings.

You see? He's ignored me

after getting them.

I do nothing.

He doesn't say anything.
