a good idea
to knock back a drink with you
over some venison.
We pitched in
for some beer and sake.
I appreciate that.
By the way,
how many of you are there here?
Sixteen, sir.
I wonder if we have
enough pots and stoves.
If not, we'll go buy some.
Oh, sorry.
Gentlemen.
Happy birthday!
Please make yourselves
comfortable.
I sit this way because
it's most comfortable for me.
Please start cooking
your venison.
Ma'am, please join us.
Actually, she can't.
Horse meat, sir?
Isn't this venison?
We got a whole lot of venison,
more than
the two of us could eat,
But considering
how big your stomachs are,
I realized it was quite
a meager amount.
Venison stew
is a rare delicacy,
adds a nice linguistic twist.
The characters for "horse"
and "deer" together mean "stupid."
I get it, sir.
You're calling us stupid.
Don't get me wrong.
Beef, pork, and chicken
are hard to come by now.
I happened to hear
that horse meat was available.
How "dear"
with some horse.
I set out for a butcher's
quite far from here
What a tale of heroism!
For his beloved students,
an aged man whipping
his old bones to buy horse meat.
Just picture it.
Like the graduation song:
"We stand in awe
of our teacher's kind favor."
Gentlemen...
what's more, I found myself
in an awkward situation
at the butcher's.
That horse
was a charger
at the military academy
where I taught.
It stared at me
with narrowed eyes as if to say...
"What in the world
are you buying there, sir?"
I was so ashamed.
I wished the ground
would open up and swallow me.
By the way, gentlemen...
horses have big eyes,
don't they?
Well, let's eat.
The meat should be ready.
Professor, your odd tale
made me lose my appetite.
Just imagine it's all venison.
Besides,
the two meats are all mixed up.
You can't tell which is which.
Bon appetit!
It's good.
It really is delicious!
If the lights go out
in an air raid,
this "stupid stew" will turn
into a "blind stew."
I hate air raids.
I don't like turning off the lights.
I've been afraid of the dark
since I was little.
I even have to sleep
with the lights on.
- Even now, sir?
- Yes.
Aren't you afraid of the dark?
- Of course not.
We aren't kids anymore.
What's so scary about the dark?
You gentlemen are impossible.
Why's that?
Anyone not afraid of the dark
is a deeply flawed human being.
You lack imagination.
He can't see
anything in the dark,
