Together.

Don't I know it!

Kikuko?

Hello? Mrs Ogata?

- Coming!

- Telegram for you.

Thank you very much.

Kikuko, you said you liked these flowers,

didn't you?

They've really grown.

Oh, they're so lovely.

Looks like a telegram!

Eh? What do you mean, "looks like"?

Looks like it's from back home.

Someone's probably passed away

or something.

Put these in a vase for me.

It says that Fusako and the kids

have arrived there.

She ran out on him again?

- No word from her husband at all?

- No.

He'd never dare to show his face

around here, would he?

But you'd have thought Fusako

would've come back here.

You should show a little more concern

for her than you do.

We should all try to consider

the situation from Fusako's point of view.

You can't guarantee that Kikuko won't

run off if she finds out about Shuichi.

When do parents ever stop worrying

about their children's marital woes?

You have absolutely

no understanding of women.

Men don't experience sadness

the way women do.

So, because you're a woman...

...that means you can understand

the feelings of all other women?

Shuichi didn't come home again

last night.

Why do you not come home together?

You come home and let Kikuko look

after you instead. That's just not right.

Can't you get Shuichi

to help with Fusako's problem?

Maybe we can get Shuichi to go

and bring Fusako back here.

I don't know about that.

Shuichi's got no respect for Fusako.

Anyway, it's embarrassing enough

that our house there must be in ruins.

What's happened to Fusako?

She's gone up to Shinshu and

installed herself in that empty house.

Oh, dear...

Miss Tanizaki, I'll be out of the office

for two or three days.

- A business trip?

- Kind of.

- Where?

- Shinshu.

Please take care of yourself,

it's cold up there.

- So, you're off, then?

- Yes.

She's such a nuisance.

You can talk!

I'd promised to take her dancing tonight.

Really?

Take my father instead.

You'll enjoy it.

I'm sorry about this evening.

He's been so unreliable recently.

How about I take you instead?

You know this woman Shuichi's seeing?

Is she a dancer?

She's nothing to do with the dance hall

Is she young?

Well... she's younger than his wife.

Is she beautiful?

Yes... she's very attractive.

She has a husky voice.

He seems to think it's erotic.

A voice like she's got a nose cold?

Do you often see her at the dance hall?

No, not all.

Has Shuichi introduced her to you?

No, not formally.

I just don't understand it at all.

Why does he drag you along every time

he meets her? To make her jealous?

I'm not one to interfere.

I wish you would interfere!

She always turns up with somebody, too.
