A LONELY COW WEEPS AT DAWN

Good girl.

What’s wrong, Bessie?

How about some milk, Bessie?

We’ll find out what’s wrong with you.

Ok, I’m bringing the doc for you.

It’s ok, girl.

Hey Doc, I think Bessie’s sick.

She’s not producing any milk.

Could you look at her?

Sure. It might just be her age.

She’s old, but I don't have the heart to sell her!

Was him again, Doctor?

Yeah...

Noriko?

Yes?

The cow died a long time ago, right?

Is he senile?

Pipe down!

Doc, you know I didn’t det paid this month.

You sure about that?

Goodness, you’re going senile, too!

Shut up!

Not now.

Now.

Stop it...

Stop what?

Doctor? Doctor?

They’re waiting for you.

Let them wait. They are just pigs with hernias.

Doc, his testicles are swollen.

Wait one fucking minute!

They keep getting bigger and bigger, now they're like bowling balls.

I’ll be there soon.

Oh my god, you're like a cow.

No... I’m like a horse.

Doctor! Please, Doctor!

A horse, you're just like a horse.

Should we start plowing the fields?

It may be a bit too early.

Yes.

Did you see this?

Look, a calligraphy exhibition. Would you like to join it?

Noriko, look at my hands.

Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve drawn anything?

Ten...

Thirty years. Around the time you were born.

I used to practice calligraphy.

Before you got married?

I didn't know that.

Neither did my husband. You're the first person I've told.

Oh yeah...

Are you gonna stay here?

Huh?

Let’s start plowing the fields.

Yes.

Hey, hey... Work hard! Spring's almost here.

You’re a hard sell, Mr. Okamiya.

I’ve already told you I’m not selling.

Don’t say that, Mr. Okamiya. They’re offering a great deal..

You’d stand to make a lot of money.

Selling my land would force me to retire. I’d have nothing to do.

I'd be so bored.. I'm not lazy like you!

Oh man, that's harsh!

What’ll sweeten the deal? More money?

You think everything’s great, but folks talk and someone’s always listening!

You just worry about yourself. Let ‘em say whatever they want.

Is there someone you like, Noriko?

I don’t know.

You seeing anyone?

I don’t know.

Yes, you do.

Not really... I don’t know.

Yeah, you do.

Stop it.

Yeah, yeah.

Noriko?

You should try to forget about my son, Hideo.

You’re young.

I'm not that young.

But if you stay here... people will talk.

Good night.

Are you ok, Bessie?

Dad...

I’m Noriko.

Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.

Hey, work harder! Spring’s right around the corner!

I’ll make it. I'll be rich and famous!

Mitsuko? Aren't you Mitsuko?

I remember, you were good for your first time.

But I couldn't believe you took my money.

No? You raped me.

You like that dick?

Shut up! I can’t focus!

I always think about your body.

You fuckin’ liar.

No, l'm serious.

Is it good? Am I as big as you remember?

Noriko...

Dad.

What is it?

Well...

You didn’t come back for your brother’s wedding or his funeral!

What are you doing here?

You got old.

I haven’t heard from you in ten years.

Okay.

Have you eaten, Mitsuko?

Do you drink?

A little bit... only when I can’t sleep.

Drinking to my brothers memory, huh?

I’m drinking tonight.

You're twenty eight, right?

No, twenty nine.

You’re still young. Look at your skin, it's still smooth.

Are you dating anyone?

How about you?

You're probably wondering why I'm here.

Right?

You should get some sleep.

No...

I won't sell.

I’m not gonna sell Bessie!

- Hideo... - Stop it!

We’ve gotta sell the cow!

She’s old and we need the money!

Hideo, stop it.

Back off!

Wait!

Shut up, Noriko!

Fuckin' old cow!

Come here!

Come on!

Bessie... Bessie...

Let’ s fuckin' go, Bessie!

Go to hell, Hideo! Go to hell!

Good morning!

Morning.

Hey, Dad...

What are you doing?

Dad...

Bessie...?

Bessie?

Bessie?

It was hard. The hernia was worse than we thought.

There was a lot of swelling.

Huh?

What’s going on, Shukichi?

Bessie is gone.

You’d better come to my place.

Why?

Just for a checkup.

- Can vets do checkups on people? - I’m licensed.

If something’s wrong you can go to the hospital.

Shukichi?

I need to milk my cow.

What about Bessie?

What’s wrong with you? Bessie died years ago.

Smoke outside, Mitsuko.

Did you find Bessie?

When you were a kid you played with her a lot, right?

Mitsuko, stay here and relax. Help me plow the fields...

Do you really like it?

You really like fucking your dead son’s wife?

What'd you say?

Bessie... Bessie...

You’re an idiot, you know?

You’re a perverted, senile idiot!

Where is Mitsuko?

I don’t know.

I made lunch today.

You don’t have to come, I'll plow the field by myself.

You don’t have to come anymore.

You love this huge dick, don’t ya?

You’re a strange bitch.

I’m not done yet.

I’m done.

Did you find the deed to the farm yet?

You can’t do anything with it unless you get his signature.

Don't worry. I know someone who can forge it.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Stop wasting my time!

They want the land. There's not much time left!

"You’re an idiot. A perverted, old idiot!”

I was looking for you, Dad. Let’s go to the hospital.

Are you drunk? I was already going.

I guess the daughter in-law is staying.

Come with me.

I’m not into that.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

I’m scared. I’m afraid of myself.

Don’t worry about it.

Look at this.

I can’t go home.

I ran here from the hospital, I’m so thirsty.

What’s going on?

You can’t see him now. I saw him lying in the street.

So I rushed him to the hospital. Something's wrong with his brain.

What happened in the barn? Did you guys fuck?

Ouch!

He taught me calligraphy.

He was a very strict teacher.

If I made a mistake, he'd hit me with a ruler.

But he was a good teacher and he loved me.

He'd say, "You're a kind boy, but so restless."

You really think he's okay? His mind's gone.

Just give me the deed to the land.

Then you can send him to a good hospital where they can care for him.

That’ s the best way to help him.

Drink up and think about it.

Come on.

Good!

More...

Hey, you wanna fuck me?

No charge.

C'mon, man, it's on the house.

I’m going back to Tokyo. I hate it here!

You can’t sleep?

You’re in love with Noriko, right?

Me too... I have somebody I love.

I’m thinking about marrying her.

We’re different.

Shukichi...

Life is long...

Very long...

Where's the deed?

Fuck you! Tell me!

Dad...

What?

Say, "please fuck me."

Please fuck me...

One more time.

Please fuck me...

Dad...

What?

Not now.

Now...

Where is Shukichi?

I don’t know.

Come on, baby!

Get off of me!

My fat meat is gonna fill your pussy!

Stop it! What're you doing to Bessie?

Let Bessie go!

Come on, old man!

Where are the papers? Hand ‘em over!

Where are they?

Bitch! You broke my nose!

I need to go to the hospital...

I’ll write up my recommendations. But after he's better he should go, okay?

Do you remember when Shukichi became senile?

About a year ago.

Why didn’t you seek help?

Take care.

What a bitch! She knew he was going senile.

Recovery isn’t always the answer. Some people connect through sickness.

But...

Chiriko...

Hmm...?

Will you marry me?

Are you serious?

Don’t say, ''Nooooooo!"

I’m not.

I’m not.

I’m sorry, Dad...

I was afraid you’d leave...

I was sad...

That’s why I didn’t take you to the hospital.

I’m selfish...

evil...

and a bitch.

I wanna be with you.

I love you... Dad.

Bessie...

Moo.

Moo.

Moo.

Please milk me... Please...

My udders are full.

Dad...

Noriko...

Dad...

Dad...

Noriko...

I want to.

I want you, Noriko.

It’s like a dream, Dad.

This isn’t a dream.

Really?

Yes.

PROPERTY TITLE DEED

You sad?

It’s so sad to leave the ones you love.

He signed the deed and gave it to me. He’s going to a nursing home.

Dad?

Dad...

The flowering plums are blooming.

Spring's coming soon.

Dad...

That’s all you have?

Yes, I already sent my stuff.

Are you practicing calligraphy again?

It'll be boring living with old folks.

I think the cab’s here.

You're cruel.

Thank you so much.

I want you to be happy. You deserve to be happy.

IT WAS ONLY MY DAUGHTER IN-LAW A COW WEPT IN MY DREAM AT DAWN
