Director Matsukawa Hirotaka

Heisei 13 (2001) July

Ah, Kō-chan? I've just met them.

Yeah, I'm bringing them to the store now.

Yeah, tell that to Sensei. Yes, so long.

Ahh... I'm really sorry for the delay.

Ah, no, no, no.

I guess Sensei would be busy.

It's very serious for her.

Well anyhow, she's someone who only knows the words "work" and "play."

Yamaguchi Takae

I saw her on TV the other day.

Ah, I see.

She's been giving increasing numbers of lectures on TV and radio.

It's a big job just keeping track of her schedule.

Ah, I'm back.

Welcome back.

Welcome.

Ohara Itoko (88 years old)

Sorry for making you wait.

Ah, Sensei! It's been a long time.

Have you been well?

Yes, thankfully.

Ah, come in, come in.

Ah, I'm sorry about this, but Sensei's next appointment is at 4, so you'll have to go by then.

Ah, is that right.

That again!

It's rude to rush them.

After all, they're guests who've just come.

Right?!

No!

I've told you this clearly; you'll just end up getting later and later, Sensei!

Don't worry about that. Come in, come in.

No, no...

Please keep it in mind. Ah, I'm sorry about this...

...but please finish your discussion by 3:50, okay? Right!

Yes, yes, yes.

If you would please. By 3:50.

Ah, so busy, so busy!

Mizuno Kōji

Fumiko

Even so...

...I'm already 88 now.

Ah!? Are you already that?

It wasn't too bad until I reached 85, but once past that...

...somehow I'm all creaks and groans now.

Ah, is it like that?

However, you start wondering just when you're gonna die.

Up until now, I would just think up something that would interest me...

...and then work on it with all my might for the present.

And then it becomes fun!

And before long, I started sticking my hand into just about anything...

...so I've been so busy recently that I don't even have time to die!

It's 3:50!

Ah, then... So long, excuse us.

Excuse our disturbing you.

Thank you for your hard work.

Next Monday you have a lecture at a hotel in Niigata.

You then have an exhibition of your Brand on Tuesday the thirteenth in Fukuoka.

From there you'll return to Kishiwada...

...and attend composer Omori-sensei's opera-concert.

Ehh... That's on Wednesday at 6pm at the Osaka Lyceum.

Ah, on Saturday you've been invited by the Shinsaibashi department store's Chairman to a sumo match...

...but should we pass on that?

Ah...

So busy!

They're all things Sensei signed up for, after all.

Yeah...

I'll go.

You'll go? To a sumo match?!

Yeah.

I'd like to see a sumo match. Right?

Work, play...

That's fine. Right?

Ah... Ah, well...

...where's the taxi?

I don't know.

Eh? The taxi's late.

At that time, one week for me was...

...work, work...

...play, work...

And then...

Kishiwada Central Hospital

...illness.

Ohara-san.

Here.

Excuse me.

How about here?

Ah, that hurts, that hurts.

Four years ago, after my body had gotten...

...a case of herpes...

...and that was the seed for my pains and agony.

Well, so that you aren't imposing too much of a burden on your body...

...moderate your work and alcohol.

Ah, I thought as much...

...but if I stay still I can't forget the pain, so against my better judgment...

...I have to do something.

Each time I would say these words.

Then after that, I would go in to the Orthopedic Surgery Department.

How's that?

It hurts.

Well, you mustn't do things that place a burden on your knees.

Ah... I thought as much...

...but if I stay still I can't forget the pain, so against my better judgment...

...I have to do something.

And I would say the same thing to them, too.

I wasn't healing from this.

Ohara-sensei?!

Hello, good afternoon!

Ah... good afternoon.

In for an exam today?

Ah, that's right.

You're just in time.

Hospital Purser Tagawa Toshio

Truth is, I was thinking of dropping by your shop sometime this afternoon.

My store... Why?!

Truth is...

...there's something I wanted to discuss with you.

Discuss...?

Sensei, would you have a little time right now?

Well, I'm just waiting for my prescriptions.

Ah... In that case, I'll have them give it to you when we return.

It'll just take a little while.

Ah... Well...

Let's go, let's go.

Where?

Got it!

Excuse us.

Ah, come in.

I've brought along Ohara-sensei.

Ah... Hello there, hello.

Good afternoon.

I'm the Director, Tatsumura.

Director Tatsumura Eiichi

I'm sorry for calling you out like this when you're so busy.

Well, come in.

Ah...

Itoko-sensei, would you like some herbal tea?

Herbal tea?

Yes, peppermint and chamomile.

Hello?

Three herbal teas, please. Right away please.

Well, well, well, thank you, thank you.

I'm well aware of your achievements.

But, I happened to see you at a party.

Look, if I recall it was for an anniversary party at Namba's Plaza Hall.

Ah, last year.

Yes.

Well, I know how shameless this is of me to stop and ask this of Sensei...

...when you're so very busy...

...but there is something I wanted to discuss with you a little.

Ah.

Truth is...

...our hospital holds events for the patients every year.

For example, music concerts and lectures and such, but...

This guy, he...

What are you doing? Come and sit.

Our Purser, Kagawa, made this suggestion...

..."how about we have a fashion show for once?"

Ah.

Well, I'm sorry.

I would see Sensei coming in to our hospital every now and then...

...so I thought I would make such a suggestion to the Director.

But it's true that I thought it would be interesting, too.

Well still, Sensei is busy. But I thought if you didn't have an interest in it...

...you could just tell us, "I don't want to do that."

By "fashion show," in other words, you want the patients...

...to see a show of mine?

Well, I was thinking it would best...

...if we used our staff as the models.

Your staff?

You mean the nurses?

Ah.

Truth is...

...my dead mother long ago would go see the shows you used to hold at your store.

Ah!

Afterwards she would talk so happily about who was there and what clothes were being worn...

...and in my childish mind I thought...

"Ah, I guess women do love those things a lot."

So I thought the patients...

...would enjoy seeing the nurses, who are they're friends...

...walking around in pretty things.

I see.

Could you do it? Well, of course we do have a budget...

Well...

...I'll do it.

Eh?!

You would do that?!

Yes.

Yes, well, but, there's also your schedule and the circumstances of the budget...

There is that.

Still, I want to do it.

For the patronage your mother gave me so long ago.

Thank you very much!

When were you planning on holding it?

In October.

October...

Yes.

Very well.

Well, the schedule doesn't matter.

I'll do as much as I can within your budget.

Well, don't worry. Please leave it to me.

Ah... We really are grateful for this!

Thank goodness.

Ah... I'm so happy.

Excuse me.

Ah. Well, it's great that we finished this talk so quickly...

...but please have some herbal tea.

Ah, this is a treat.

This is a quite good original blend.

It's unusual.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Thank you.

Ah, yes, yes.

Itoko-sensei, um, do you know of a Sakurai-san?

Sakurai-san?

Yes.

Sakurai, something...

What is her name? She's been hospitalized in our Internal Medicine Department.

Was there a Sakurai-san?

Is there something about Sakurai-san?

Well, I once heard her mention that Itoko-sensei was a classmate of hers.

Sakurai?

Yes.

Dunno.

I quit mid-way through Girl's School...

...so I don't remember my classmates names or faces anymore.

I've heard many things about you from this person as well.

"Sensei and I were classmates."

"When she was little, she butted heads with the cleaning man and knocked him out."

Really?!

And Sensei is a celebrity, too.

She knows various things and people about you.

Well, such a thing! Geez!

Ah, thanks for the treat.

So long, I'd better get going.

I see.

We'll go to the Reception desk and get your prescriptions.

Then, please contact me again with information about the show.

Please help us out with that.

Ah!

It's Natsu-san!

Eh?!

I just remembered.

It's Sakurai Natsu-san.

Sakurai Natsu-sama

What is it?

You have some business with me?
