:09:00
...allowed my mother and I
to live well.
:09:09
I grew up in a dangerous world
of one gamble after another...
:09:15
...everything always
veering to the right.
:09:28
But girls' magazines were
more important to me, I guess.
:09:34
I'd gaze at the pictures and dream
of the day I'd meet my prince.
:09:39
Was that when...
:09:42
...the studio discovered you?
:09:44
I'll never know...
:09:46
...what the managing director
of Ginei Studios...
:09:49
...saw in a snub-nosed little girl
on her way to school.
:10:03
Is there nothing I can say?
:10:05
Nothing.
:10:08
My mother here...
:10:10
...thinks that being an actress
is a dubious profession.
:10:14
"Dubious', she called it?
:10:18
Madame!
:10:19
Our new film is set in Manchuria.
It will cheer on our soldiers there...
:10:24
...and encourage all the people
of our nation!
:10:27
Surely...
:10:29
...Chiyoko wants to be
of service to her country!
:10:32
Um...
:10:33
Perhaps, but this child is far
too timid to ever be an actress!
:10:39
She will find a husband
and succeed me in our store.
:10:43
Isn't that right?
:10:44
Does a sweetshop matter more
than a nation?!
:10:48
Does a woman not serve her nation
by staying home and bearing children?
