Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets Page #3

---

Nobody wants to dance.

Do you want to know something?

- What's the best book?

- Come again?

- What's the best book you've ever read?

- The Bible, of course.

What part do you wash first

when you take a bath?

I start by washing the bathtub.

- Are you hairy?

- What?

- Are you on the hairy side?

- Yes, in parts.

What magazine do you like best?

"Playboy," I guess.

Are you tragic or comic?

Put some more feeling into your questions.

Don't just read them out.

- Can you laugh in English?

- In English?

It's the same as in any language.

- How often do you go to the loo?

- Go on... God alone knows.

How many men have you cheated?

Hey, wait a minute now, I'm serious.

What bad effects do books

have on people?

Bad effects?

Well, it's getting more difficult

to find men to collect the rubbish.

What's the best book to

read in the loo?

The Bible, probably.

I read it every day.

- What part do you hide when you're naked?

- When I'm stripped? Nothing

- Do you ever count the stars?

- At night, I haven't the time to count.

When can you count them?

The stars?

At night, when you put out the light.

Then you can see the stars a bit.

- How about Marx's "Das Kapital"?

- Come again?

- Marx's "Das Kapital"

- I don't know it.

Hey there, what are you doing?

You can see what I'm doing.

I'm eating a rice-ball.

Have you no family?

Yes, but I don't want to go back home.

Why not?

I've won the lottery.

The national lottery.

I bought it in front of the

Ikebukuro station.

I won five million yen.

But I've no one to leave it to.

I don't smoke Japanese cigarettes.

I had a son.

But he's dead.

And now I've got no one any more.

I'll give five million to anyone

who's kind to me.

To anyone who'd take good care of me.

Anyone who'd take care of

an old woman like me.

Ever since I was born, no one

has ever been kind to me.

I'd give five million yen just to be

treated with real kindness.

- Everyone was looking for you.

- Everyone?

But she has no family.

That's not true, she has a son

and two grandchildren.

I don't know them.

I don't know him.

Don't make a fool of me,

I'm Kin, your neighbor.

I don't know him.

She's won five million yen.

You're joking!

She made me kill a rabbit.

When no one talks to her,

she tells lies and steals.

At first when she was arrested,

we used to go along and bail her out.

But she enjoyed that.

That's why she stole things.

She'd steal tissues, ladies' shoes

or children's clothes.

She stole something again

only the other day.

It's no good, Grandma.

Cry "Wolf! Wolf!" and it will work

once, but not twice.

So this time she's cooked up another

story about winning the lottery.

She's a good-for-nothing old woman.
