00:03:33 - Mom! - Can I get up now?
00:05:45 Is that right?
00:08:45 In any case, you have to think about your future.
00:12:28 But it is! No matter how much barley I mix in with the rice
00:14:39 Kokichi? Are you done studying? I think you have some more to do.
00:17:26 Why does he have money?
00:18:46 By that time, Genji and Noboru will probably be making a little more money.
00:21:17 No matter how long I work at the place I'm at now, I can't get ahead.
00:23:17 Well, hurry up and eat.
00:27:25 Mr. Washio asked me where I would be going to school next year.
00:30:20 I don't think it's such a bad idea, really. He's always liked studying.
00:32:26 Where did Genji and the boys go?
00:35:07 I don't know. He has a hard time saying "no" to people.
00:36:47 Of course I'm going to tell him.
00:42:02 The new bride is moving in next door. You know, at Ma-chan's place.
00:44:09 Were you drinking?
00:47:06 Genji, do you know why Kiichi is always late, these days?
00:50:00 Like I said, it would take a while to explain.
00:52:54 Today I'm going to talk to Mr. Washio.
00:55:15 I see.
00:59:33 He has some really big ambitions.
01:01:30 Succeed. We'll get by somehow.
02:07:02 I could make as much as when I was 26.
