:12:32
They're at it again.
:12:35
It's mother's fault. Father is a man.
:12:38
He should not be criticized all the time.
:12:40
It's his business
that keeps him out late at night.
:12:43
Mother does not want him drinking,
or spending time with bargirls.
:12:48
That's called business entertainment.
:12:51
That's why we have a nice home.
That's why we go skiing in the winter.
:12:57
You are going through the motions
of being a dutiful wife.
:13:01
But there is no kindness to it.
:13:04
Without looking at you...
:13:05
I can see the disapproval on your face.
:13:09
Your parents did you no favor
sending you to a Christian school.
:13:13
The teacher filled your head
with nonsense about sin and guilt...
:13:17
and with fables, which, in Japan,
we confine in the children's books.
:13:21
But of obligations, they taught you nothing.
:13:24
I have fulfilled my obligations to you...
:13:27
to the girls,
to the company and to the country.
:13:32
I know you are a good provider...
:13:36
but it is this filth I cannot stand.
:13:40
You, a father, hiding this dirt.
:13:43
It makes me afraid of your sexual thoughts.
:13:49
These are adult comic books, Kazuko.
:13:51
Men read them on the train,
and in the office.
:13:55
As to my sexual thoughts,
they shouldn't frighten you.
