or something?

Have fun, but make sure you

don't bother the neighbors.

And Mr Suzuki...

...don't go spreading

strange rumors, all right?

l don't want everyone

to move out on me.

What's this?

Whoa!

Looks like we're beat.

What do we do now?

Shut up! l'm thinking.

Will you at least try too?

But l can't!

What do you do when you're

stuck? You reason logically!

OK, relax...

Relax...what do you do

in s situation like this?

Relax...

'Suntory Whiskey,

White Label.

'The square bottle.

Very dry. Now on sale.'

What am l doing...

Hey, come on!

You can't do that now!

Oh, come on! Please!

Well, l know how you feel...

What's wrong?

Hey, you guys!

What's the matter?

They don't like the working conditions.

They quit.

Now l really don't know

what to do!

Kids! Unbelievable!

What's this?

Huh?

Mommy, what are they

living up for?

Who?

They're all lined up.

What are you talking about?

They're all lined up.

Who is?

lt's been a long time.

lchiro's grown so big!

lchiro!

That was...

Huh?

So you remember all that?

You've got a good memory!

Grandpa?

Grandpa! lt's you!

lt's been a long time, lchiro.

You're all grown up.

So you remember me?

Sure l do!

Your picture's still on the

shrine at home.

Really? lt's still there?

l'm touched.

You didn't know?

But it's a shrine to you.

Why would l? lt's got

nothing to do with me.

No? lt doesn't?

You know that big house

on the corner? ls that yours?

Yep, that's my house.

l knew it!

Someone else probably

has it now.

What a coincidence!

l didn't know where you lived.

l just happened to move here.

l knew l'd seen that house!

According to my faltering memory,

l think you were there twice.

Once when you were a baby,

just after you were born...

...when your parents

brought you to show us.

The second time was

that Christmas Eve.

l'm starting to remember.

We saw those people lined up.

That's right.

Grandpa, what's that?

Today's Christmas.

They're all here

to celebrate it together.

Do they get something?

Nothing much. Just a bowl

of soup.

Soup? No toys?

No, no toys.

That's no fun!

You don't need any soup.

But for the unfortunate,

who have no luxuries...

...it's a once-a-year treat.

There you go.

A bowl for everyone!

You'll be at peace!

Going up!

Yep! The wait's over!

Everyone gets one! Eat up!

ls it good?

lt's almost time!

Yes, there is a Heaven!

Ascension Soup

Make room for the next person!

How did you get here, kid?!

This isn't for you! Get lost!

What do you want here?

What are you doing?!

For your grandpa, right?

ls it good?

Yes. lt's divine!

You're lying! lt's yucky!

lchiro, did you have some?

You'll live a long life,

l know it.
