A Day for Remembrance

SHUKICHI

It's very good.

. . .

SHUKICHI

Did Shoji like to drink?

NORIKO

Yes, he did.

TOMI (looking surprised)

Really?

NORIKO

He often brought his friends home here late, after the trains had stopped. After they'd been out drinking.

SHUKICHI

Really?

TOMI

Then you had as much trouble as I did.

NORIKO (smiles)

Yes, but now I miss it.
