We'll go to a restaurant

in a department store.

- The children will like that.

- Fine

- Isamu loves those kiddy lunches.

- All right.

Excuse me...

- How is he?

- No better.

- Any appetite?

- He'll only take a cold drink.

- Has his temperature fallen?

- His temperature is still 102.

I see. I'd better see him.

Thank you, I'm sorry to spoil your day.

Are the hypodermics sterilised?

I must visit a patient.

Really?

Father, I'm afraid

I have to visit a patient.

- I see.

- Sorry.

- Never mind.

- It could take a while.

That's all right.

- I'll see you later.

- Take care.

- Still not ready?

- No...

- I may be late.

- What about your mother and father?

Shall I take them?

You can't leave the house unoccupied.

We'll go next Sunday.

Very well. See you later.

- Where's dad going?

- To see a patient.

I'm awfully sorry.

Never mind.

A busy doctor's a good doctor.

He's very dedicated.

Aren't we going, Mum? It's not fair!

It can't be helped. A patient needs him.

Not fair!

- You can go another time.

- Not fair!

Behave yourself, Minoru!

- You lied!

- Make yourself scarce!

- Come here.

- No way!

- They're so naughty.

- It's good for boys to be spirited.

Now just behave yourselves.

It's not fair!

You can go another time.

It's always "another time".

We never go!

It can't be helped

that dad had to go out.

- As usual!

- Now don't be so difficult.

- It's not fair!

- Not fair!

- Not fair!

- What? You're being horrible.

- Behave, or I'll tell your father.

- Go and tell him!

- You just remember those words!

- See if I care!

- What's the matter?

- Oh, nothing...

Come along, Isamu,

come for a walk with granny.

- Won't you come, too, Minoru?

- Minoru...

- Come on, then.

- That'll be nice with granny, Isamu.

Let's go.

Sure you don't want to come, Minoru?

Thank you.

Minoru, go with them.

- Shan't!

- Suit yourself then.

See you later.

Here you are.

Thank you.

- What's up with Minoru?

- He's just so stubborn.

His father was the same.

Koichi always had to have his own way.

It's just a shame he had to go out

when you're here.

Oh, we're fine.

We'll go next Sunday.

Thank you.

After a few days here,

we're thinking of visiting Shige.

There they are.

What do you want to be

when you grow up, Isamu?

Do you want to be a doctor

like your daddy?

By the time you're a doctor,

I wonder where I'll be?

Welcome back.

Hello.

- There was a call for you.

- Who from?

- Enomoto phoned about that business.

- That's all wrapped up.

- What are your folks up to?

- They're upstairs.

I bought some sweets for them

from a place in Asakusa.

Try one, they're delicious.

These are expensive.

They don't expect such things.
