70. G-G-Golden Pavilion.Copy !req
71. It's too beautiful.Copy !req
72. An acolyte.Copy !req
73. Even worse.Copy !req
74. Face the fact you'll never be loved.Copy !req
75. It's the same for everybody.Copy !req

79. Damn!Copy !req
80. You did that on purpose!Copy !req

108. Just as I thought.Copy !req
109. It seems you haven't

110. Have you been ill?Copy !req
111. Master...Copy !req
112. That's no way
for a Zen acolyte to behave.Copy !req
113. Master...Copy !req
114. Nothing's that unbearable.Copy !req
115. You'll get over it.Copy !req
116. No. Everything...Copy !req
117. is p-p-powerless.Copy !req
118. What happened? She ran away?Copy !req
119. It was as s-s-small as this
but grew so big.Copy !req

124. It poisons us.Copy !req
125. It blocks out...Copy !req
126. our lives.Copy !req
127. Please, enough of your pride!Copy !req
128. Beauty is like a rotten tooth.Copy !req
129. It rubs against your tongue, hurting,Copy !req
130. insisting on its own importance.Copy !req
131. Finally you go to a dentist
and have it pulled.Copy !req
132. Then you look
at the small bloody tooth in your handCopy !req
133. and say, "Is that all it was?"Copy !req
134. That's the way it is.Copy !req
135. Only knowledgeCopy !req
136. can turn life's unbearableness
into a weapon.Copy !req
137. Beauty...Copy !req
138. is now...Copy !req
139. my enemy.Copy !req
140. Life is b-b-bearable
only when I imagine...Copy !req
141. the G-Golden Pavilion...Copy !req
142. has been destroyed.Copy !req
143. The American b-b-bombers will come.Copy !req
144. Then...Copy !req
145. I'll be free.Copy !req
146. What are you doing?Copy !req
147. Nothing.Copy !req
148. I thought you were at Lit. Club.Copy !req
149. You kidding?
That mediocre bunch?Copy !req
150. You should try to make
more friends, sweet.Copy !req
151. It's not good to be alone so much.Copy !req
152. "This is no precocious genius.Copy !req
153. He is not a writer.
And never will be."Copy !req
154. What's this?Copy !req
155. That's a "respected" poet.Copy !req
156. He's talking about me.Copy !req
157. Don't show it to anyone else.Copy !req
158. They might agree.Copy !req
159. Cough.Copy !req
160. Enough.Copy !req
161. Do you sometimes cough blood?Copy !req
162. Yes, sir.Copy !req
163. How long have you had a fever?Copy !req
164. About six months, sir.Copy !req
165. "Unfit for military service."Copy !req
166. "Incipient tuberculosis."Copy !req
167. Get dressed and go home.Copy !req
168. Next.Copy !req
169. Did you hear? The war is over!Copy !req
170. B-b-but the American bombers?
Where are the bombers?Copy !req
171. The Golden Pavilion...Copy !req
172. who'll set it free?Copy !req
173. Did you steal this from the temple?Copy !req
174. Be careful.Copy !req
175. You acolytes are
my girls' best customers.Copy !req
176. I wonder why they didn't bomb Kyoto.Copy !req
177. That was your first time?Copy !req
178. I thought so.Copy !req
179. Don't worry. You did fine.Copy !req
180. Are you always so serious?Copy !req
181. Didn't you enjoy it?Copy !req
182. I hope you remember my name.Copy !req
183. In a day or two I'm going to be famous.Copy !req
184. What's so funny?Copy !req
185. You're such a terrible liar!Copy !req
186. And you keep such a straight face!Copy !req
187. It's no lie!Copy !req
188. I'll make headlines.Copy !req
189. You're too much.Copy !req
190. Good morning.Copy !req
191. It's a nice day.Copy !req
192. Good morning, sensei.Copy !req
193. You've read the letters?Copy !req
194. You three must not follow our example.Copy !req
195. But we're ready to -Copy !req
196. The letters are very clear.Copy !req
197. No matter what happens,Copy !req
198. make sure the general
does not commit seppuku.Copy !req
199. This is our day...Copy !req
200. not his.Copy !req
201. Sensei, we've talked it over.Copy !req
202. We want to die with you.Copy !req
203. Why must we be left behind?Copy !req
204. This is my final day.Copy !req
205. I've said good-bye to my parents,
my girlfriend, everyone.Copy !req
206. You...Copy !req
207. must stay alive.Copy !req
208. You must defend our actions in court.Copy !req
209. We want to be with you to the end.Copy !req
210. You refuse to obey orders?Copy !req
211. Morita and I are going to do our duty.
You must do yours.Copy !req
212. Understand?Copy !req
213. Don't worry.Copy !req
214. We'll meet again.Copy !req
215. Everyone ready?Copy !req
216. Let's go.Copy !req
217. The rehearsals look great.Copy !req
218. Easy for you to say.Copy !req
219. Why worry?
You're already the youngest writer...Copy !req
220. to publish his Collected Works.Copy !req
221. What good is it
if I'm not translated in the West?Copy !req
222. Sound of Waves was translated.Copy !req
223. One book.Copy !req
224. Four, five languages?Copy !req
225. Six.Copy !req
226. It's like a dream come true.Copy !req
227. But it feels like being confined
to a hospital bed.Copy !req
228. A luxurious hospital bed.Copy !req
229. Can't I just have the bed?Copy !req
230. Come, night! Come, Romeo!
Come, gentle night.Copy !req
231. Osamu?Copy !req
232. Who were you with last night?Copy !req
233. I don't remember.
Who'd you sleep with?Copy !req
234. What a thing to say to your mother.Copy !req
235. Besides...Copy !req
236. he was too drunk to walk.Copy !req
237. Nothing goes right for me anymore.Copy !req
238. You should see the loan on this place.Copy !req
239. I can't even buy lipstick.Copy !req
240. My back gets worse and worse.Copy !req
241. I could die and nobody would care.Copy !req
242. What's so funny?Copy !req
243. I love how you exaggerate
your misery,Copy !req
244. like some cheap movie poster.Copy !req
245. You even look the part -Copy !req
246. like the madam of a French brothel.Copy !req
247. How would you know?Copy !req
248. You've never left Tokyo.Copy !req
249. Besides, I'm not exaggerating.Copy !req
250. You're never here
when the loan sharks come.Copy !req
251. Do me a favour, please.Copy !req
252. Go see them.
I need six months more.Copy !req
253. It's getting so I can't sleep anymore.Copy !req
254. I'm busy.Copy !req
255. Doing what? Daydreaming?Copy !req
256. Like you.Copy !req
257. Theater?Copy !req
258. Wait.Copy !req
259. Got a role?Copy !req
260. What do you think?Copy !req
261. Would they look good in tights?Copy !req
262. I guess so.Copy !req
263. This nail polish sure chips easy.Copy !req
264. These damn legs.Copy !req
265. I pay too much attention to my face,Copy !req
266. but what about my body?Copy !req
267. If only I were more muscular...Copy !req
268. like a matador.Copy !req
269. Then my whole body could be my face.Copy !req
270. That's not very realistic.Copy !req
271. I'm going to take up bodybuilding.Copy !req
272. I mean it.Copy !req
273. Oh no, you don't.Copy !req
274. Then you'll have
more girls chasing you.Copy !req
275. Who were you with last night?Copy !req
276. Come on, tell me who.
Someone new?Copy !req
277. All right, muscle man.
You are a weakling!Copy !req
278. Cut it out.Copy !req
279. I'll be your mirror.Copy !req
280. This is your hair.Copy !req
281. This is your face.Copy !req
282. This is your breast.Copy !req
283. See? Isn't this better
than a mirror?Copy !req
284. What's this?Copy !req
285. You're so flabby.Copy !req
286. Ah, it's you.Copy !req
287. What happened?
Suddenly you just...Copy !req
288. Don't worry. It's nothing.Copy !req
289. Please tell me,
or I'll never calm down.Copy !req
290. I'm calling from nearby.Copy !req
291. I'll see you in 15 minutes.Copy !req
292. Tell me.Copy !req
293. I must know.Copy !req
294. Both you and I have
a strong sense of aesthetics.Copy !req
295. When you look in the mirror,
you see beauty.Copy !req
296. I can't even look at myself.Copy !req
297. So don't make jokes like that again.Copy !req
298. Natsuo-chan!Copy !req
299. Osamu!Copy !req
300. Where have you been?Copy !req
301. I've become a bodybuilder.Copy !req
302. How about you? Still painting?Copy !req
303. Still at it.Copy !req
304. You mean Natsuo Yamagata?
Landscapes?Copy !req
305. I've seen some of them.Copy !req
306. At least you don't attempt
to paint human bodies.Copy !req
307. Forgive his bluntness.Copy !req
308. Takei and I
were just talking about art.Copy !req
309. And what did you decide?Copy !req
310. I got interested because of the way
Michelangelo and RodinCopy !req
311. treated the human body.Copy !req
312. The human body is the work of art.Copy !req
313. It doesn't need artists.Copy !req
314. Okay, let's say you're right.Copy !req
315. What good does
your sweating and grunting do?Copy !req
316. Even the most beautiful body
is soon destroyed by age.Copy !req
317. Where is beauty then?Copy !req
318. Only art makes human beauty endure.Copy !req
319. You must devise
an artist's scheme to preserve it.Copy !req
320. You must commit suicide
at the height of your beauty.Copy !req
321. What have you been doing?
You promised we'd go to the theater.Copy !req
322. You need money again?Copy !req
323. No, that's not it.Copy !req
324. Don't you notice anything new?Copy !req
325. Just this awful shirt.Copy !req
326. You call my taste gaudy.
Looks like blood.Copy !req
327. No, it's not that.Copy !req
328. I've put two inches on my chest.Copy !req
329. Bodybuilding.Copy !req
330. You? Why?Copy !req
331. Somebody even saidCopy !req
332. my ass looked like that
of a foreign sailor.Copy !req
333. Here, feel my chest.Copy !req
334. I can hardly pinch it.Copy !req
335. Lady! Get us some lunch!Copy !req
336. We only serve snacks.Copy !req
337. Then go get some.Copy !req
338. Until you pay back your loan,
this dump belongs to my boss.Copy !req
339. Now move your ass.Copy !req
340. The check!Copy !req
341. Come in.Copy !req
342. I hope you accept my apology.
I'm sorry about yesterday.Copy !req
343. I fired that punk immediately.Copy !req
344. I've put up with your mother
long enough.Copy !req
345. She's very difficult.Copy !req
346. I'll soon take possession of her place.Copy !req
347. In such cases,Copy !req
348. people are often driven to suicide.Copy !req
349. What do you mean?Copy !req
350. You're like me.Copy !req
351. My beautiful shadow.Copy !req
352. You're vain and bored.Copy !req
353. Full of yourself.Copy !req
354. You like to play childish games.Copy !req
355. You're an actor, aren't you?Copy !req
356. I feel that...Copy !req
357. a certain woman
wants a certain something.Copy !req
358. Don't pretend you love me.Copy !req
359. I've had too much of that.Copy !req
360. Mm, as for me,
I don't love women much.Copy !req
361. They make me feelCopy !req
362. emptied out.Copy !req
363. All the better.Copy !req
364. What do you want?Copy !req
365. This is your mother's loan.
It comes to 11/2 million yen.Copy !req
366. Sign this.Copy !req
367. If you do,Copy !req
368. I'll cancel the loan.Copy !req
369. "I hereby certify that my life and bodyCopy !req
370. belong to Kiyomi Akita."Copy !req
371. I want to buy you.Copy !req
372. It's just a little cut.Copy !req
373. Why?Copy !req
374. Your skin is so beautiful...Copy !req
375. I just had to cut it.Copy !req
376. It felt pleasant.Copy !req
377. A thought just occurred to me.Copy !req
378. "This is the woman
I've been looking for.Copy !req
379. I've finally found her."Copy !req
380. I don't need a mirror anymore.Copy !req
381. I feel clearly that I exist.Copy !req
382. In that case...Copy !req
383. will you stay by me to the end?Copy !req
384. Will you die with me?Copy !req
385. I'd watch you writhe in a pool of blood...Copy !req
386. until you stopped moving.Copy !req
387. Then I'd drink poison.Copy !req
388. Fine with me, but...Copy !req
389. no matter what happens,
don't kiss me...Copy !req
390. until I'm good and dead.Copy !req
391. Have you been to the gym?Copy !req
392. I don't need to go.Copy !req
393. You are in good shape.Copy !req
394. Look, those ladies are jealous.Copy !req
395. They don't think we're mother and son.Copy !req
396. Let 'em think what they want.Copy !req
397. Two, please.Copy !req
398. Two hundred yen, please.Copy !req
399. Thank you.Copy !req
400. It's such a relief not to worry
about money anymore.Copy !req
401. I'm finally able to sleep again.Copy !req
402. Thanks to Akita-san. And to you.Copy !req
403. You're not having trouble
with her, are you?Copy !req
404. Not at all.Copy !req
405. In fact, I decided
to go all the way with her.Copy !req
406. Do you love her?Copy !req
407. Of course not.Copy !req
408. Isn't that a little extreme?Copy !req
409. On the other hand,
we've got to be nice to her.Copy !req
410. But don't go too far.
Just find a way to cancel the loan.Copy !req
411. Don't worry about money.Copy !req
412. I got a good part.Copy !req
413. You did?Copy !req
414. Which role?Copy !req
415. It's a surprise.Copy !req
416. You've got the body of a matador.Copy !req
417. I can't even go to the gym.Copy !req
418. Those guys at the theater
are even worse.Copy !req
419. They're still having
the same boring discussions...Copy !req
420. about the "wounds of art."Copy !req
421. I'd like to show them...Copy !req
422. your wounds.Copy !req
423. They don't even knowCopy !req
424. that art is a shadow...Copy !req
425. that stage blood...Copy !req
426. is not enough.Copy !req
427. When duty and sympathyCopy !req
428. Are on the scalesCopy !req
429. A man always findsCopy !req
430. Duty heavierCopy !req
431. O merciful KannonCopy !req
432. My childhood friendCopy !req
433. You can seeCopy !req
434. Right into my heartCopy !req
435. The lion and the peonyCopy !req
436. Roar on my backCopy !req
437. There it is.Copy !req
438. We're a little early.Copy !req
439. Swing around the loop.Copy !req
440. What if something goes wrong?Copy !req
441. Just stick to the plan.Copy !req
442. Has anything changed?Copy !req
443. You're still going
through with it? Why?Copy !req
444. Don't you understand?Copy !req
445. The emperor's face is not pleased.Copy !req
446. Japan is losing her soul.Copy !req
447. But why you?Copy !req
448. I was lucky enough to be chosen.Copy !req
449. Why did you pull out
of the tournament?Copy !req
450. I lost interest.Copy !req
451. Because you win so easily?Copy !req
452. I lost interest
in wooden swords, sensei.Copy !req
453. They have no real power.Copy !req
454. You're old enough
for a sword of steel?Copy !req
455. Yes, sensei.Copy !req
456. How about your team
and your school?Copy !req
457. They can't win without you.Copy !req
458. Report to your dorm, Isao.Copy !req
459. Contemplate the danger of a man
who thinks only of himself.Copy !req
460. Excuse me, Lieutenant Hori.Copy !req
461. I heard about your kendo exercises.Copy !req
462. We expect great things from you.Copy !req
463. You wrote this?Copy !req
464. How many of you?Copy !req
465. Twenty.Copy !req
466. How will you do this?Copy !req
467. In a single stroke.Copy !req
468. We'll assassinate
the leaders of capitalism.Copy !req
469. Burn the Bank of Japan.Copy !req
470. At dawn, law will restore power
to the emperor.Copy !req
471. What will happen to your group?Copy !req
472. At sunrise, on a cliff,
paying reverence to the sun,Copy !req
473. looking down on the sea,
we'll commit seppuku.Copy !req

544. You're our best writer.Copy !req
545. Haven't I always looked ridiculous?Copy !req
546. I walk on stage determined
to make the audience cry.Copy !req
547. Instead, they burst out laughing.Copy !req
548. Some people have called usCopy !req
549. toy soldiers.Copy !req
550. But our goalCopy !req
