- This one.

- OK, I see.

Spoon. It's for eating soup.

When you eat soup from your plate...

...you use it like this:

Fill it up like this, and eat.

Then, when you come to the main course,

you take the fork and knife.

You use this part, then cut it like this.

And then put it in your mouth.

I won't be able to do it.

- It's OK, it's simple.

- Simple?

If we come here two or three times...

But I don't know when we'll come here again.

Well, I think I'll bring you here

for your next birthday.

Do you know these people?

Can we sit here?

- Your girlfriend?

- No, my sister.

- Let me introduce you. This is Reiko.

- How do you do?

Do you often come here?

Mr. Omi brought me here

two or three times before.

Roast beef and wine, please.

- What about you?

- I'll have roast beef, too.

So, this is your sister.

You look quite similar.

You haven't come to practice recently.

I've been distracted.

And even people with

completely different faces...

...if only their manner of

thinking is aligned...

Upon entering a book, they can reach a common

ground where communication is possible.

That's what we're talking about.

You could say that books are...

Though many of them seem really good,

I think they would be difficult to handle.

You need practice.

I've already ordered food.

But it must be hard to eat.

For Americans, nothing could be simpler.

For them, it's hard to imagine

what could be hard about it.

If you feel tense, you should

just get some brandy.

Don't force yourself.

Be at ease at the table.

Young people should have a fun time.

In Europe there has been

a new trend recently.

Young people leading a vagrant life.

They leave their parents and come together

to live in groups of five people.

They live together,

and they are their own parents.

They aren't looking for

anything in particular.

And they don't divide stuff

into mine and yours.

No matter if it's food or clothing,

it's all shared property.

Like a commune.

- Women too.

- But...

It's precisely because someone

interested in sports...

...can find his new home in the team.

That's why I'm urging you to join.

- And there won't be any jealousy?

- Jealousy?

For a guy, jealousy is a real problem!

"If the end of the world comes tomorrow,"

"I will plant an apple tree."

-Gheorgiu

In August 1970, a child was born to me.

Nobody gave me permission...

In August 1970...

I called it Jenla.

Nobody gave me permission.

In August 1970...

Another woman fell pregnant.

Nobody gave me permission.

In August 1970...

I thought of the name for this child.

Nobody gave me permission.

I'll teach you a new dance.

Come and dance.

It's so boring in this country.
