BEAUTYSALON SAKAE
Putting on lipstick, I think of what lie I shall tell
You are so sensuous You almost make me faint
Mr. Saito, about what we Talked about the other day...
That deal... How about it?
That? Count me out.
I'm hopeless When it comes to drawing.
Don't be so humble.
If a master potter Draws a picture for us
The newsletter Will get more prestige.
I'll draw for you.
Don't be ridiculous.
We don't want your scribbling.
A picture by An eel restaurant owner?
Get me another beer.
I won an award in the Art Contest.
In the art world, Suzuki is a well-known name.
Won an award only once.
What?
Birthday's coming up.
Whose birthday?
You moron.
Your own daughter's birthday.
So you remembered it.
Of course.
If I forget, that brat will
Kick me out of your house.
Thanks for all this.
Mister.
POLICE SCANDAL
Mister.
Did you draw this?
Well... Yeah.
Can I sit here?
This table's reserved For me... Go ahead.
Are you an artist?
Well, in a way... I am.
You a high school student?
Say... Mister.
Let's have sex.
What the hell are you saying?
So... How much?
Mister, how old do I look?
Let's see... 17 or 18.
Oh, damn.
What?
I thought I'd look older with makeup.
What's your name?
Guess.
Hiroko.
Akemi.
Keiko.
Not even close.
Names of your ex-girlfriends?
Mayuko.
Mayuko?
Hmm... I like that.
Why Mayuko?
Well... You have beautiful eyebrows.
Eyebrows?
I drew them.
How do you write "'eyebrow"?
I don't get it.
I still don't get it.
I like this character.
Wait a minute.
Should make it a rule To get paid first.
Your trick could Run off without paying.
I see.
Thank you.
You're a pretty strange one.
"'I decided not to Charge you anything."
These letters are used, For example, in English and French.
These letters are read "'dog".
Let's compare them with "'kanji".
"kanji" is originally hieroglyphic.
Tracing it back to its original form
It's the shape of a dog.
But the alphabet form "'dog"...
Hello?
...will not inspire you To see the image of a dog.
Because only when The separate letters, d, o, and g
Are placed thus, Do they mean "'dog".
Compared to hieroglyph, Alphabet letters have no meaning.
It is the same as one hydrogen and 2 oxygen molecules constituting water.
I have to go again.
Goodbye.
By the way, about this "'dog"...
Reverse the order and
Strangely, it becomes "'god".
Yoko.
Brother, stop that.
That's about it.
SHO-UN-DO
What has a big fire above And lots of water below?
Weird riddle.
Big fire above...
Lots of water below...
What could it be?
EYEBROW
So you switched from Married women to school girls.
ONE-WINGED BIRD
In Heaven it will be the Phoenix.
On Earth it will be whole.
Time in Heaven is eternal, But on Earth, it is limited.
The One-Winged Bird Is a mythical bird
Comprised of a male and a female
Always flying united.
It is often used as a metaphor
Referring to the bond Between man and woman.
Tomo, you missed again.
Got it. Double score.
Something serious happen?
In this town?
At most, kids mugging an old lady.
But, uh...
What, weirdo?
High school girls are kids, too, And they certainly are delicious.
Suzuki, cut it out.
I'll tell your wife.
Come on, Nishi.
Well... It was only once.
Tell me where it was.
But we're police officers.
It's official business.
Her skin was so different.
When we took a bath together, Her skin was so resilient.
Here, Tomo.
What's this?
The girl loved it.
It works miracles. It's incredible.
Who needs this?
You should be cautious. If you don't use it, that's fine.
But life's full of surprises.
You can't read kids nowadays.
No kidding. Eat this.
What the hell?!
Nishi!
Outrageous!
That one on the right is new. She knows absolutely nothing.
How do you know?
Hey.
I know. I know. I'll throw in some extras.
Call in all the girls registered here.
Searching for a schoolgirl.
Investigation?
Murder.
Murder?
The details are confidential.
Give me a break.
Our girls are from good families.
That's crap. I can arrest you.
Want to be a murder suspect?
You can't be serious!
Anyway, tell All the girls to come here.
Even if they're on the rag.
Tell them to get here on the double.
I'm having them make the calls now.
What band is this?
My band. It's my band.
It sucks.
Great guitar for a rotten band.
Can you tell? I knew you were different.
Check it out. The real deal. He played this guitar.
See. There's a scar here.
You moron. That's bullshit.
I'm not Joking. I paid 1.7 million for it.
I paid everything I had.
Where d'you buy it?
The last manager got busted For drugs, and now he's in the slammer.
Officer Tomokawa, guess what?
What?
Jimmy Hendrix played the guitar With his teeth. Like this.
This cop's totally screwed.
Don't know that girl.
Why don't you know?
He's completely fucked up.
Shut up!
Do you all want to be arrested?!
Listen up. School girls in Tokyo Say they're no longer interested in
Ripping off dirty ol' men, Like you lousy hicks.
Who told you that?
I saw it on TV.
In Shibuya they charge
5000 yen for panties They bought for only 00.
Pretty smart, huh?
I was quite impressed.
So what? You Jerk-off.
Prostitution is out-dated. Your poor parents must be
Turning in their graves.
My parents are still alive.
Shut up! Go over there And line up against the wall.
Line up. Line up.
Show your asses.
Pervert.
Pervert. You dirty pig.
Here... This is important evidence!
I'm sure.
What? "'I'm sure"?
You morons. What you need is a spanking.
I'll spank you, so show your asses.
Come on. Show your asses!
Brother?
Grandpa!
Uncomfortable, isn't it?
The atmosphere is Rather depressing.
Please. Come back to me.
We can leave this town and Live somewhere else. Great, isn't it?
I'm in love with someone else.
Who?
You only moved here 2 months ago.
Can you really leave me that easily?
I... I never loved you, Teraoka.
I know. I know that.
You're so persistent.
That's not it.
I heard you... Screaming out in pain.
Glad it wasn't serious.
And no worry for after effects.
Too bad. You came all prepared.
Because she made all that noise About your having a stroke.
Dad, you're not young anymore.
We thought you were dying, right?
Anyway, it's best to take it easy In a place you're accustomed to.
The air is cleaner here.
And you wouldn't like The hassle of living with us.
Won't be good for you.
Don't work too hard.
We don't want to Take over your business.
Sell the shop and retire.
What're you going to do About Yoko and Sukemasa?
They can take care of themselves.
They're old enough.
You've really aged.
You, talking like a father.
Why won't he hurry up and Just die.
Take it. There must be bills to pay.
You loser.
If it's too tough, move out.
Do what you want.
I like it here.
Why? Are you into some guy?
That's no way for a mother to talk.
Aren't you going to see Sukemasa?
Even if I want to, he won't see me.
Too bad.
You always blame others.
What?
Yoko, I know it's not easy... We'll come again.
What?
He came to get you.
To get me?
What's this?
This is sick.
Hey.
I said "'police-box at noon".
Quit the undertaker's. It's too depressing.
Become a policeman instead.
Do you mean it? Can I be a real man?
Sure. I'll teach you The questions on the test.
Oh, I forgot. You can't.
When you're tense, You have those seizures.
During one of them, The criminal will get away.
I dare you.
Pachinko. Let's play pachinko Where are you going?

I looked all over for you.
Did you approach me, Knowing who I was?
Yes.

I won't tell.
Just as stubborn as the old man.
You searched for me?
A full-scale search, Rounding up school girls.
Just because I lied to you?
You lied?
I'm really a Junior high student.
Thought if you knew, You wouldn't bother with me.

Take'em off.
You take them off, too.
Show me your tattoo.
Did your grandpa tell you about it?
I saw a photograph.
I was young and handsome, huh?
Yes... You were beautiful.
When I became a cop,
I asked your grandpa to tattoo me, Because I wanted to be a real man.
I missed you so much.
So did I.
I'll rinse your hair.
Again.
How did you get this?
A yakuza stabbed me.
Because of this, Your grandpa hates me.
How come?
Because I ruined his masterpiece.
He figures he's a master artist.
It was a life-or-death arrest.
Couldn't be helped.
Grandpa's so stubborn.
He really is.
Hey, you get in, too.
Never been in such a tub, right?
Come on. Try it. Get in.

Well? Doesn't it feel good?
When we get out, let's do it again.
Hey, wait.
Please. Let me shoot once more.
Come on. Please. Let me shoot.
Come on. Let me.
I'll teach you later.
Hey. Calm down.
Why don't we all rob a bank?
Don't be stupid. You rob a bank, And you'll soon be caught.
Hey. Teach her how to shoot.
Why not?
'Cause she's my sister.
Soon she'll be better than you.
Says who?
I have to be fair.
I like both of you.
Damn you. Put me down, Sukemasa.
Put me down. Put me down. It's dangerous.
Hey. Put me down.
I'll protect You and Yoko with my life.
All right. Now put me down.
Shit, animals don't care Where or when they fuck.
