Ningen NoYakusoku - A Promise

An excerpt from the screenplay of a melancholic Japanese movie.

Husband (Yoshio Morimoto):
With my parents moving into our home it has disrupted our relationship. I am sorry.

Wife (Ritsuko Morimoto):
No. (A long pause)
Your affairs did.

Husband:
With my parents around and you having to take care of my senile mother, our sex life is interrupted.

Wife:
A good excuse for an affair.

Husband:
You have such a good imagination. (Laughs) There was never an affair.

Wife:
(Laughs)

----------------------------

Man (Yoshio Morimoto):
(Looking at his naked mistress sitting beside him)
I need to go home now.

Woman:
I see. You have come to say goodbye. You didn't dare say you wanted an affair with me. So you just came. Now when you want to end this, you just leave.

Man:
It is getting late. I am sorry. I must go.

Woman:
Yes, go home. I will start a rumour tomorrow that you can't play with a girl. It will be a reason for you to leave me.
