TS UTA HOUSE:
l'm back!
Fujiko, you're really coming on
l'll do some practice
when it gets a bit cooler
Eh? Someone's been using this
Nanako...watch what you say.
We all have to live under one roof
Namie says her payment slips
don't tally up
She's got the cheek to suggest
we've been cheating her
l've got it all written down here
So what?
You could've simply
made them all up!
You've no right to point the finger
of suspicion at us
A country girl like you...
...with filthy hair and grubby hands!
That's right. When you first came here,
you were absolutely clueless
Exactly
You had no idea how to treat a client
to feed you!
You didn't even know what salmon was
before you came here!
Well, where l come from in Chiba,
we don't have such food
Oh, dear me!
Yes? Tsuta House...
Yes? You want to speak to my mother?
Ponko, don't stray too far!
Mother, it's the Geisha Guild for you
- You told them l wasn't here?
- Hmm...
What's all the noise downstairs?
Well, Namie's complaining
about her pay
She's got to understand
we've a business to run here
l'm getting no sleep at night, so at least
keep them quiet during the day
lt's the end of the month, though,
and the bills are due
All they say is, "Where's our pay?"
Just pretend not to hear them
ACCOUNTS:
- How many for dinner tonight?
- You'll have to ask Yoneko
She never seems to lift a finger!
Where are you off to?
Just out
- Excuse me?
- Coming!
And you are...?
l've been sent
by the employment agency
Here...
Just wait a moment, will you?
- Who is it?
- The new maid
Do you want these?
Come in
Thank you
Mrs...something...Yamanaka?
How do you read these characters?
lt's pronounced "Rika"
- "Rika" ? Oh!
- Unusual name, isn't it?
- Hard to pronounce, too
At your service, mistress
Please, there's no need to be so formal
- Are you married?
- My husband died the year before last
And my child died last year.
Since then l've been supporting myself
Oh, really?
l would actually prefer to employ
You shouldn't talk
about the elderly like that!
Everyone over 30 here
is considered old!
Anyhow, you can order young people
around but they're not very sensible
- They're always whingeing, though!
l'll do my very best for you,
if you'll take me on
Everyone l've been to see
has said l'm too old
Let's try you out and see, shall we?
Well, this is where we all eat,
work and sleep
We don't have any special requirements
l'll do my best for you
Mother, l'm just going out
- Where to?
- Just out
Just because the new maid's here
doesn't mean you can swan around
- Where's Namie?
- Gone out somewhere
- Where's Fujiko?
- Gone for a cold drink
Not again? She's been having them
all day, she'll get stomach ache
Show her around the house
- Come on, then
- Yes...
There's the toilet
That's the kitchen
And this is your room
This is the bathroom
Nanako, show her around.
l'm going to get Fujiko
That's how the senior geisha can act!
- Let me help you there
- That's all right. l've finished now
l hope you don't mind getting your hands
dirty. Otherwise, you'd better leave now!
That was Yoneko, the mistress's
