00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:07,429
What does?

14
00:03:09,815 --> 00:03:14,024
He knows a good place
that does steak. Where is it?

15
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:17,986
You know the Honmoku-tei in Ueno?
lt's right next door

16
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:20,322
It's run by an old coupIe

17
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:23,658
RealIy? I'd Iike to try it

18
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:27,075
l usually go to that pork restaurant
behind the Matsuzakaya

19
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:28,697
You, too, right?

20
00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:32,452
I've been going there
ever since it was just a stall

21
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:37,547
That was when we were students.
Always hungry, but no money

22
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:42,010
We'd pool our money, then go there
together. Miwa used to come, too

23
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:46,132
ReaIly? You were friends with him
when you were that young?

24
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,476
Yeah. We also shared
the same dormitory at school

25
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:51,390
Did you reaIIy?

26
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:54,890
Mr Miwa was very kind to me

27
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:59,565
He was an excellent manager,
always very calm

28
00:04:03,785 --> 00:04:07,448
- This is his seventh memorial
- Time flies

29
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:13,663
- How many years has it been for you?
- What do you mean?

30
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:18,459
- Since you lost your wife
- Four, almost five years

31
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:22,668
Hey, the tea staIk's sticking up

32
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:27,013
Very auspicious. Maybe something
good's going to happen

33
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:31,260
lt could mean that your dead wife
is coming back to get you

34
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:33,728
Oh, stop it! l'm not ready to go yet

35
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:45,366
- UncIe's rather late
- l wonder what could've happened

36
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,194
Oh, here he comes

37
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,876
Sorry l'm so late

38
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:14,766
l'm Shuzo Miwa's brother.
Thank you all for coming here today

39
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:23,692
Being from the countryside,
l got lost on my way here

40
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,316
Good to see you, Mr Hirayama,
Mr Taguchi

41
00:05:28,912 --> 00:05:32,154
lt's been a long time.
Did you just arrive in Tokyo today?

42
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:36,579
No, l had other business to attend to,
so l arrived yesterday

43
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,666
Thanks for taking care of my son
last time

44
00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:44,007
Not at all

45
00:05:44,594 --> 00:05:46,004
What was that?

46
00:05:46,137 --> 00:05:52,007
My son went skating at Lake Haruna
last winter with his friends

47
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:54,179
They stayed at his inn

48
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:58,100
Thank you for the present you sent

49
00:05:58,233 --> 00:06:02,317
Not at alI. Did you Iike them?

50
00:06:02,445 --> 00:06:05,812
l pickled those spring
vegetables myself

51
00:06:05,949 --> 00:06:08,031
It was nothing special...

52
00:06:08,159 --> 00:06:12,118
...just a small token
of my appreciation

53
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:14,283
It was a wonderful gift

54
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:17,032
Oh, those wild vegetables we had?

55
00:06:17,168 --> 00:06:18,874
They were deIicious

56
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:22,295
It's interesting, as we get oIder...

57
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:25,382
...we seem to enjoy such things
more and more

58
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:27,000
You're right

59
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:29,298
Things Iike seaweed with carrots...

60
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:34,349
...mushrooms, dried radish
and bean curd

61
00:06:34,477 --> 00:06:36,718
Don't forget steak and pork cutIets

62
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:46,190
Is everyone present?

63
00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:52,534
PIease, Iet us begin

64
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,122
PIease come through to the main halI

65
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,874
After you

66
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:38,556
- You're Iate
- l got held up

67
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:42,473
- We've just started
- Then l got here too early

68
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:32,277
That sutra recitaI today was Iong

69
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:33,815
lt went on

70
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:36,564
You can't compIain, you got here late!

71
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:40,777
Sorry for putting you through that

72
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:46,325
Mr Taguchi toId me that
shorter prayers were better...

73
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:52,457
. ..so I asked the priest
to keep it short. Didn't l?

74
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:58,504
The monk was eager to pIease

75
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,382
You must've paid him welI

76
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:04,601
Not at alI. l wasn't that generous!

77
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:12,443
At least it was cooler today.
The day of the funeral was so hot

78
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:16,154
It was realIy hot.
l was wearing a thick morning coat

79
00:10:17,492 --> 00:10:19,483
How old were you, Ayako?

80
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:21,947
l was 1 8

81
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,492
- So now you're.. .?
- Twenty-four

82
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:27,366
Good age to get married, right?

83
00:10:27,502 --> 00:10:31,165
Yes. Do tell us if you know someone
who'd be suitable for her

84
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:35,256
That won't be hard at all.
Ayako is very beautiful

85
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:39,128
What kind of men do you like?
Don't be shy

86
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:42,426
Tell us

87
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:46,684
How about someone like me,
for example?

88
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,098
Very nice

89
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,815
- And how about me?
- Very nice, too

90
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:58,863
You've confused me.
They're totally different types

91
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:01,778
And me?

92
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:03,985
You, too

93
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:07,580
- She only said 'you, too'. You're out
- l'm out?

94
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:10,951
You shouIdn't have bothered asking!

95
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:13,499
lt was a bad idea to ask her

96
00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:18,000
Seriously, joking aside,
l might know someone suitable

97
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:20,798
- Yes, please
- ls that true?

98
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:25,765
Yes. Ayako, are you really
interested in getting married?

99
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:30,929
You shouId get married soon

100
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:34,273
How old were you
when you married Miwa?

101
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,726
l was 20

102
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:40,230
See, Ayako?
You should marry soon

103
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:44,234
Right. l think so, too

104
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:47,328
I know a nice feIlow, Ayako

105
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,164
l think he's about 29

106
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:52,079
He graduated
from the University of Tokyo...

107
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:53,702
...and works for the Obayashi Group

108
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,170
He's an interesting chap

109
00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:58,506
Sounds too good for us

110
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:01,502
No, I think he'd be perfect

111
00:12:01,638 --> 00:12:04,505
Then please introduce us

112
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:10,093
Ayako, it's time to go

113
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:14,272
Please excuse us

114
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,608
Already? It's stiII early

115
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,819
I'm sorry, but...

116
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:25,487
Sorry for troubling you today,
and thank you for all your kindness

117
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,782
l hope we haven't offended you
with our bluntness

118
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:35,911
Far from it. You kept us entertained.
l hope to see you all again soon

119
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:38,333
- See you soon
- Goodbye

120
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,884
Please excuse us

121
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:58,900
Goodbye, both of you. Ayako,
you know what you're doing, right?

122
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:00,438
Yes

123
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:19,462
She's so beautiful

124
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:24,251
I reaIly enjoy talking to girls her age

125
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:28,133
The girl's certainIy pretty, but...

126
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:33,017
- You mean her mother, don't you?
- Hmm. She hasn't changed a bit

127
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:37,021
- She's a beauty
- You think so?

128
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:41,855
- But her daughter's charming
- Of course she is

129
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:47,073
But Akiko is over 40 and still...

130
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:50,944
If I had to choose,
l'd pick the mother

131
00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:53,033
She's lovely

132
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:56,912
LoveIy...Iovely

133
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:59,957
- You really think so?
- Absolutely

134
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:06,585
A man who marries someone
so beautiful is destined to die young

135
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:10,634
Miwa used up his luck too fast

136
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,600
She's developed a new kind
of charm recently

137
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:16,344
Yes. You think so, too?

138
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:19,564
You can just see it,
it's obvious

139
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:23,814
And you're usually so slow
to notice such things

140
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:28,531
l see it, too,
just not as clearly as you

141
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:34,279
What's making you aII so cheerfuI?

142
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:37,703
- Do you have enough <i>sake</i> ?
- Yes, we're fine

143
00:14:41,172 --> 00:14:44,414
l'd say your husband must be
in good health

144
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,916
Yes, thank you

145
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:50,295
- l don't doubt it
- Of course

146
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:52,797
He'Il have a Iong Iife

147
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:57,394
You never know what'Il turn out
to be a blessing in disguise, right?

148
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,273
- What are you talking about?
- Nothing

149
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:08,864
A long time ago,
when we were all at university...

150
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:15,574
...there was a chemist's shop
on the third block in Hongo

151
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:19,699
lt's a fruit shop now, but there used
to be a beautiful girl working there

152
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:23,920
This one fancied her and bought
medicine there all the time

153
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:26,255
That's rich coming from you

154
00:15:26,384 --> 00:15:31,799
Who bought all those decongestants
when he didn't even have a cold?

155
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,217
And he bought antibiotics

156
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:36,557
Yeah, l remember the packaging

157
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:41,475
The woman who was just here with us
was that girl

158
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,313
That lady?

159
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:46,606
l thought they were sisters,
not mother and daughter

160
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:50,821
She's very beautiful.
So what happened after that?

161
00:15:51,742 --> 00:15:54,233
- Oh, well.. .
- lt ended badly

162
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:55,985
It's painfuI to telI

163
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:59,535
- You remember a man named Miwa?
- No

164
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:02,329
l think he came here once or twice

165
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:06,956
ln short, Miwa stole the girl
away from us

166
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:08,956
Goodness me!

167
00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:12,460
You should've bought love potions
instead of flu medicine!

168
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:16,764
- You're right
- We weren't so wise back then

169
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:21,512
We were innocents
compared to the youth of today

170
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:24,935
ReaIly? Do you have enough <i>sake,</i>
Professor Hirayama?

171
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:26,307
Fine, thanks

172
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,355
WouId you bring me some soda water?

173
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:30,319
Of course. Just a moment

174
00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:35,115
A man who marries a woman like that
will live an awfully long time

175
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:37,406
What was that?

176
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:40,325
Nothing. We were just talking.
Soda water?

177
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:41,573
Right away

178
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:52,835
A man who marries a woman like that
could still die young, though

179
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:56,633
- Have you seen the size of her?
- Good for wrestling?

180
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,381
The head scissors?

181
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,426
He wouldn't stand a chance

182
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:05,846
He'd be totalIy crushed

183
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:14,605
Some more?

184
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:33,128
- Welcome home
- Evening

185
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:34,876
You're home early

186
00:17:43,104 --> 00:17:46,346
- l thought you'd be home late tonight
- Why's that?

187
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,641
Weren't you with Mr Mamiya
and Mr Hirayama?

188
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:51,187
Yes

189
00:17:52,154 --> 00:17:54,736
And Akiko came, too, with Ayako

190
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:56,605
RealIy?

191
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:04,789
- What's this?
- lt's Yoko's

192
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:07,624
- She's back?
- Yes. She just arrived

193
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,790
Is her husband away on business?

194
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:15,670
They had another fight

195
00:18:15,803 --> 00:18:19,421
Living with a mother-in-law
isn't easy for a young couple

196
00:18:19,557 --> 00:18:21,593
Did she quarrel with his mother?

197
00:18:21,726 --> 00:18:26,345
No, she gets on weIl with her.
But still, it's stressful

198
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:29,688
lt's better for a young couple
to live by themselves

199
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:31,808
I've often thought so myseIf

200
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,935
What shall we do with her?

201
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:42,406
She means to stay for a while
this time. She brought a bigger bag

202
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:46,030
- Do you think they'll sort it out?
- They have to...

203
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:47,998
...just Iike we did

204
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:53,372
l suppose so. A husband and wife
eventually get past that stage

205
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:57,500
Yes, they both do.
Yoko needs to make an effort

206
00:18:57,637 --> 00:19:00,800
Right. You can't be too ambitious
in a relationship

207
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:03,764
True. You can't set
your hopes too high

208
00:19:03,893 --> 00:19:06,760
- WouId you like a snack?
- No, l've eaten enough

209
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:10,725
WeIcome home, Dad

210
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:13,270
- What's up?
- lt's happened again

211
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:15,893
'Happened again'?
You're always fighting

212
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,816
What was it this time?

213
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:22,442
lt's hard to explain. lt's the result
of weeks of discontent

214
00:19:22,578 --> 00:19:25,035
What do you mean, 'discontent'?
You chose to marry him

215
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:29,157
- Yes, that's why l'm upset
- About what?

216
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:33,457
Daddy, don't try to intervene.
l'm teaching him a lesson

217
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:37,878
You need to learn a lesson, too.
You're simply too impatient

218
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,466
Enough!

219
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:42,553
Dad, have a bath.
l'll heat up the water for you

220
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:48,099
She's hopeless

221
00:19:49,647 --> 00:19:54,186
Oh, yes, you know that chap...
What's his name?

222
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:55,728
Who?

223
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:59,604
The man who works at the Obayashi
Group. Your friend's brother

224
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,195
You mean Shigeru lnoue?

225
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:05,033
That's the one

226
00:20:05,162 --> 00:20:09,075
His father owns a music box factory
in Kamisuwa, right?

227
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,199
Yes. What about him?

228
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:14,293
He'd be a perfect husband for Ayako

229
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:18,791
- No. He's already engaged
- He's getting married?

230
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:22,839
Yes. l'm thinking of what to get them
as a wedding present

231
00:20:22,972 --> 00:20:27,261
That's too bad.
l said l'd help her out

232
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:28,803
Why?

233
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:32,269
l thought he'd be good for her.
What a shame

234
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:35,898
Do we know any others?

235
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,604
- What about lkeda?
- No way. Too arrogant

236
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:44,403
No good? Do we know anyone else?

237
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:49,199
You should be worrying about
your own daughter, not someone else's

238
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:51,947
But Ayako's so beautifuI

239
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,917
- l don't want her marrying some idiot
- l see

240
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:58,124
She really is a nice girl.
Very wholesome

241
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,590
Does she look Iike Akiko
when she was young?

242
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:03,584
It's hard to compare

243
00:21:04,513 --> 00:21:10,133
They're very different.
Mamiya says he prefers Akiko

244
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:13,227
- How about you?
- Me?

245
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:17,724
Who do you prefer?
Akiko, l bet. l know all about it

246
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:20,146
- About what?
- The third block in Hongo

247
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:23,567
You were always going there
to buy cold medicine, weren't you?

248
00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:27,862
That wasn't me, that was Mamiya!

249
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:32,614
- So what did you buy?
- l bought antibiotics and other stuff

250
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:36,368
Don't lie. You bought cold medicine.
l remember it well

251
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:39,086
- Who told you that?
- You did

252
00:21:39,215 --> 00:21:41,831
I told you? When?

253
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:45,175
Not long after Yoko was born.
You were drunk

254
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:49,843
ls that right?
l was being honest, l suppose

255
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:52,057
Yes, more honest than you are now

256
00:21:55,022 --> 00:21:58,310
Mum, l'm hungry.
ls there anything to eat?

257
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:02,059
Dad, the bathwater's boiling

258
00:22:02,196 --> 00:22:06,565
- Okay. Did you turn off the gas?
- lt's still on

259
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:09,533
You have to turn it off!

260
00:22:10,913 --> 00:22:13,529
If it's not one thing, it's another!

261
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:17,409
- Do you have anything to eat?
- You're all hopeless!

262
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,104
Go on in

263
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:55,620
Nice to see you again

264
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:58,661
Thank you very much
for the other day. ..

265
00:22:58,794 --> 00:23:02,252
...for taking the time to come
to the memorial service

266
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,963
Not at all. Please sit down

267
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:11,546
- l just came to thank you
- My pleasure. Have a seat

268
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,518
l stopped to see Mr Hirayama
and Mr Taguchi on my way

269
00:23:18,647 --> 00:23:20,057
l see

270
00:23:23,861 --> 00:23:28,025
So did Taguchi say anything
about matchmaking Ayako?

271
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:31,991
He said the young man had
already decided on someone

272
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,950
- He's getting married?
- Yes

273
00:23:35,456 --> 00:23:39,540
That's typical of Taguchi.
He's always doing things like that

274
00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:46,130
Miwa always complained about him
because he was never punctual

275
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:49,045
Although l was the one who came late
to the memorial service!

276
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:54,346
Miwa would have been glad
to see you all there

277
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:57,550
Have you had Iunch?

278
00:23:57,686 --> 00:23:59,677
Not reaIly, but...

279
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:03,180
Shall we go out for lunch?
Not that l know any great places...

280
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:06,809
- But l have to be back by 2:00
- Back where?

281
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:12,987
I'm helping out at my friend's
dressmaking school these days

282
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,824
With French embroidery

283
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:19,197
- Are you teaching?
- Yes, though not very well

284
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:21,665
It must be a chalIenge

285
00:24:21,794 --> 00:24:25,286
Let's have lunch together.
l'll drive you to the school after

286
00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:28,880
Shall we go?

287
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,721
l'm leaving now. Get the car

288
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:12,250
- Have another glass
- No, thank you

289
00:25:12,386 --> 00:25:14,001
You sure?

290
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:24,304
Did you notice the man who greeted me
at the lift as we were leaving?

291
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,024
No, sorry. l'm not very observant

292
00:25:28,152 --> 00:25:32,145
He's a bit shorter than l am.
He had a fringe over his face

293
00:25:32,281 --> 00:25:35,523
I reaIly didn't notice him

294
00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:39,527
WelI, he doesn't realIy stand out
or anything

295
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:43,656
He's a good man
and an efficient worker

296
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:47,376
When we were talking
about a husband for Ayako...

297
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,120
... I thought of him immediately

298
00:25:50,966 --> 00:25:55,710
But Taguchi was so quick to offer help
and he sounded so confident

299
00:25:57,306 --> 00:26:00,173
Mr Taguchi is such a funny man

300
00:26:00,309 --> 00:26:05,474
He's so funny that everything else
becomes funny when he gets involved

301
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:10,478
He's such a character, isn't he?

302
00:26:10,611 --> 00:26:14,354
l can't remember
where this man graduated from

303
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:18,824
He's been with us
for four or five years

304
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:22,035
He may not Iook the athletic type...

305
00:26:23,207 --> 00:26:26,324
...but he's captain
of our basketball team

306
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:28,325
How do you like the sound of him?

307
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:31,377
He sounds very nice

308
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:33,498
WouId you like to meet him?

309
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:37,422
Or maybe you'd like to see his photo
and background information first?

310
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:40,637
Yes, that wouId be better

311
00:26:42,351 --> 00:26:44,342
Sorry to keep you waiting

312
00:26:49,566 --> 00:26:50,806
Thank you

313
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:06,364
- l'll send them to you
- Please do

314
00:27:07,501 --> 00:27:11,210
- Could you get me a photo of Ayako?
- Sure

315
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:15,877
Have you always smoked a pipe?

316
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:18,091
I smoke both cigarettes and pipes

317
00:27:18,846 --> 00:27:22,430
My husband was fond of pipes, too.
We still have two or three at home

318
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:25,303
You can have them if you Iike

319
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:29,098
That would be nice.
l'd like that very much

320
00:27:29,231 --> 00:27:34,271
I don't know if they're any good,
but some of them he bought in England

321
00:27:34,403 --> 00:27:38,737
They must be good quality. He was
very particular about things like that

322
00:27:39,575 --> 00:27:42,942
- Then l'll bring you one next time
- Thank you

323
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:48,406
- Please, help yourself
- Thank you

324
00:28:00,554 --> 00:28:01,964
Coming!

325
00:28:12,566 --> 00:28:14,147
Here you are, Dad

326
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:17,768
- l think he'd be perfect
- Who?

327
00:28:17,905 --> 00:28:19,896
Mr Goto. He's a fine man

328
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:25,742
- You think so?
- Absolutely

329
00:28:25,871 --> 00:28:29,079
lf it were me,
l'd say yes straight away

330
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:31,665
Where did he graduate from?

331
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:33,829
Waseda University.
He studied economics

332
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:37,546
<i>The azure sky...</i>

333
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:41,667
- Where's he from?
- Fushimi. His family runs a brewery

334
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:48,306
Can't you quieten down?

335
00:28:49,645 --> 00:28:51,385
- Go to your room
- Why?

336
00:28:51,521 --> 00:28:53,136
Just do it

337
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:02,025
Dai, too! Upstairs, now!

338
00:29:09,539 --> 00:29:14,203
<i>Waseda, Waseda,</i>
<i>Waseda University.!</i>

339
00:29:16,338 --> 00:29:19,455
l think Mr Goto's the best candidate
we know

340
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:22,924
I think so, too. I'Il invite him over

341
00:29:23,053 --> 00:29:26,136
Ask him for a photo
and background information

342
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:27,846
I wilI

343
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:34,762
l wonder what Akiko will do
once Ayako is married. She'll be alone

344
00:29:34,898 --> 00:29:39,312
She'll be fine. She has to be

345
00:29:41,321 --> 00:29:43,528
ls Akiko as beautiful as ever?

346
00:29:43,657 --> 00:29:46,148
Yes, very beautifuI

347
00:29:47,369 --> 00:29:51,658
But l like Ayako better.
She's so innocent

348
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:53,200
RealIy?

349
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:56,245
Taguchi said he prefers Akiko

350
00:29:56,378 --> 00:29:58,585
I think you do, too

351
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,206
- Who?
- Akiko

352
00:30:02,342 --> 00:30:06,051
No way.
That's not me, that's Taguchi

353
00:30:07,097 --> 00:30:09,554
He's liked her ever since
he was a young man

354
00:30:09,683 --> 00:30:12,550
RealIy? And you haven't?

355
00:30:12,686 --> 00:30:14,426
Not reaIly

356
00:30:14,563 --> 00:30:18,055
Oh? Which medicines did you buy?

357
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:20,227
- What?
- Which medicine?

358
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,692
- Whose?
- Yours

359
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:25,688
Was it coId compresses
or decongestants?

360
00:30:28,744 --> 00:30:31,030
Who told you this nonsense?

361
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,862
Taguchi's wife?

362
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:36,285
Now I know why you never catch coIds

363
00:30:36,418 --> 00:30:38,875
You took too much medicine
back then

364
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:06,148
l'm home

365
00:31:10,619 --> 00:31:13,907
Welcome back, Mum.
Have you had supper?

366
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,576
Mrs Sakai treated me to supper

367
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:19,791
- l've been waiting for you
- Really?

368
00:31:24,341 --> 00:31:26,502
l bought some sweets
on the way home

369
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:31,299
- Do you want some now?
- l'll try some later

370
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:37,843
l'm exhausted.
l've been all over town today

371
00:31:37,979 --> 00:31:41,847
Oh, Mr Taguchi's
matchmaking failed

372
00:31:42,692 --> 00:31:45,183
RealIy? Why?

373
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,565
- The young man already has a fianc�e
- He's always doing stuff like that

374
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:54,318
True enough.
But now there's another candidate

375
00:31:55,372 --> 00:31:58,159
Another one?
l'm so popular all of a sudden

376
00:31:58,291 --> 00:32:01,954
- Who's arranging it this time?
- Mr Mamiya. He sounds nice

377
00:32:02,087 --> 00:32:04,373
- They work at the same company
- l see

378
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:07,248
He'll send us a photo
and some background information

379
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,796
I'm going to boiI some water

380
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:17,801
Mr Mamiya thinks very highly
of this young man

381
00:32:19,563 --> 00:32:22,930
He wanted to mention him
the other day when we met

382
00:32:24,693 --> 00:32:26,684
He says he wants a photo of you

383
00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:33,740
- You know, Mum...
- What?

384
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:38,824
- Could you decline the offers?
- Why?

385
00:32:41,168 --> 00:32:43,910
lt'll be harder to say no
once we have his picture

386
00:32:44,045 --> 00:32:46,001
Don't give him my photo, either

387
00:32:48,842 --> 00:32:51,208
- Do you want some tea?
- Sure

388
00:32:53,930 --> 00:32:57,388
Listen, is there somebody you Iike?

389
00:32:57,517 --> 00:32:59,098
Not at all!

390
00:32:59,227 --> 00:33:01,343
Then why won't you consider this man?

391
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,187
So many people are concerned
about your well-being

392
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,056
You shouId be gratefuI

393
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:09,606
I know that, but l'm fine
with things the way they are

394
00:33:09,738 --> 00:33:11,103
But...

395
00:33:11,239 --> 00:33:14,026
RealIy, I don't want to get married yet

396
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:17,697
'Don't want to'?
Just sit down and listen to me

397
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:25,492
What is it?

398
00:33:25,629 --> 00:33:27,995
- Tell me the truth
- What?

399
00:33:28,131 --> 00:33:31,089
You really don't have
anybody else in mind?

400
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:35,177
l'd telI you if l did. l wouldn't hide
something like that from you

401
00:33:35,305 --> 00:33:36,886
Okay...

402
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,757
I feeI fine as l am for the time being

403
00:33:39,893 --> 00:33:44,182
- Make sure you decline his offer
- Are you sure?

404
00:33:44,314 --> 00:33:46,930
Of course, l'm sure

405
00:33:47,067 --> 00:33:50,355
Let's live together, just the two of us

406
00:33:53,907 --> 00:33:55,898
The water's boiled

407
00:33:57,994 --> 00:34:03,079
But once l falI in Iove with someone,
l'll probably change my mind

408
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:58,627
Wait a moment

409
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:04,220
Like this, okay?

410
00:35:12,402 --> 00:35:14,393
That's aII for today

411
00:35:14,529 --> 00:35:19,023
lf you have any questions,
feel free to ask me anytime

412
00:35:44,267 --> 00:35:46,474
- ls your class over?
- Yes

413
00:35:46,603 --> 00:35:49,470
Do you have a minute?

414
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:57,440
Please come in and take a seat

415
00:35:58,281 --> 00:36:01,148
- Have you spoken to her?
- Not yet

416
00:36:01,284 --> 00:36:03,775
- Do it, then
- You should do it yourself

417
00:36:03,912 --> 00:36:05,743
You think so? Okay

418
00:36:11,753 --> 00:36:13,163
Here, Akiko...

419
00:36:15,465 --> 00:36:19,629
- What do you think of him?
- Who is he?

420
00:36:19,761 --> 00:36:23,549
What do you think of him
for your daughter?

421
00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:26,515
But isn't his nose crooked?

422
00:36:26,643 --> 00:36:29,635
That's just the photo. It's the lighting

423
00:36:33,066 --> 00:36:35,398
- Well.. .
- What is it?

424
00:36:36,778 --> 00:36:41,863
Thank you, but Ayako says
she doesn't want to get married yet

425
00:36:41,991 --> 00:36:44,482
- But...
- He's not suitable, anyway

426
00:36:44,619 --> 00:36:47,611
But he's from a good family

427
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:49,738
The man's more important
than the family!

428
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:52,365
- We discussed this last night
- Shame to pass him up

429
00:36:52,502 --> 00:36:56,120
It's no shame at all.
He's got no chance of succeeding, right?

430
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:59,214
That's not the point, reaIly

431
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:04,837
Just the other day, Ayako declined
a match arranged by Miwa's friend

432
00:37:04,973 --> 00:37:08,136
- Why?
- She doesn't want to marry yet

433
00:37:08,268 --> 00:37:12,261
Really?
Maybe you can't let her go, either

434
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:14,562
Not at all

435
00:37:14,691 --> 00:37:16,522
But you need to give her away soon

436
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:18,937
lf she waits, she'lI end up
with someone who's not right

437
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,777
We can't aIl be as lucky as I was

438
00:37:27,078 --> 00:37:29,239
- Yes?
- There's a call for Mrs Miwa

439
00:37:29,372 --> 00:37:32,159
- A call? Transfer it to here
- Yes

440
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:34,408
- Thank you
- There you go

441
00:37:44,053 --> 00:37:47,841
HeIIo? ls this Ayako? Yes, it's me

442
00:37:49,476 --> 00:37:51,683
Yes, I can come

443
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,683
What time? Okay, no problem

444
00:37:57,233 --> 00:38:00,100
Then I'Il meet you at the corner

445
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:03,820
I'Il Ieave early and
stop by Uncle Mamiya's on the way

446
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:06,280
Okay. Bye

447
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:19,998
I heard lshii couIdn't get the time off

448
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,713
He'd even bought the maps
and everything

449
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:26,755
- Why?
- His boss is really mean

450
00:38:28,014 --> 00:38:30,596
- So there'll only be seven of us
- Right

451
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:34,388
l want to shop for hiking boots.
Come with me after work

452
00:38:35,897 --> 00:38:38,058
Not today. l have an appointment

453
00:38:38,191 --> 00:38:42,275
A date, huh? What's going on?

454
00:38:43,238 --> 00:38:45,729
No, with my mum

455
00:38:45,865 --> 00:38:48,732
How boring. Poor you

456
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:11,174
PIease go in

457
00:39:19,941 --> 00:39:21,897
HeIlo. Nice to see you

458
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:25,814
HeIIo. I've brought you the pipe

459
00:39:25,947 --> 00:39:30,190
The pipe? Oh, yes. Thanks a lot

460
00:39:34,247 --> 00:39:35,657
Yes?

461
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:39,744
What is it?

462
00:39:46,843 --> 00:39:48,253
Here.

463
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:59,435
Yes, this Iooks right

464
00:39:59,564 --> 00:40:01,350
Show me that earlier file

465
00:40:01,482 --> 00:40:02,892
Yes, sir

466
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:07,568
- Wait a minute
- Yes?

467
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:13,066
This is the young lady
who turned you down

468
00:40:16,623 --> 00:40:18,238
RealIy?

469
00:40:18,374 --> 00:40:21,036
Ayako, this is the man you decIined

470
00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:30,171
My name's Goto. Please excuse me

471
00:40:42,857 --> 00:40:45,724
- You're so mean
- Why?

472
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:48,567
You shouldn't have said that

473
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:50,561
I was onIy telling the truth

474
00:40:50,698 --> 00:40:54,611
- But.. .
- But what? Will you reconsider?

475
00:40:55,495 --> 00:40:57,076
No way

476
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:01,990
Here's the pipe

477
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:05,368
HoId on, Ayako

478
00:41:17,892 --> 00:41:21,134
- l heard you work at Toko Trading
- Yes

479
00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:25,889
Say hello to Sugiyama in Accounting.
We went to school together

480
00:41:26,025 --> 00:41:27,390
I wilI

481
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:29,063
Excuse me

482
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:52,590
Here you go

483
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:06,767
- l'm so full
- You still have some beer left

484
00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:09,686
l shouldn't let it go to waste.
l'll drink it

485
00:42:13,114 --> 00:42:14,445
That's it

486
00:42:20,455 --> 00:42:21,945
Here you go!

487
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:29,244
You know, once you get married...

488
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:31,496
...we won't be abIe to go out like this

489
00:42:32,467 --> 00:42:36,380
Yes, we can.
l'm not getting married

490
00:42:36,512 --> 00:42:38,878
EventuaIIy you wilI, though

491
00:42:39,891 --> 00:42:43,054
Until then, we should go out together
once a month or so...

492
00:42:43,186 --> 00:42:45,643
...and eat at nice restaurants

493
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:50,269
That was delicious

494
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,858
Even once every other month
would be fine

495
00:42:52,987 --> 00:42:56,150
Yes, or once every three months

496
00:42:58,284 --> 00:43:01,651
- l'll pay for it today
- No, l'll pay

497
00:43:01,788 --> 00:43:05,155
You'll be short of funds for your trip.
You bought so many things

498
00:43:05,291 --> 00:43:09,660
Don't worry.
l watch how l spend my money

499
00:43:09,796 --> 00:43:11,206
It's a great idea...

500
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:14,581
. ..to go on a farewell hiking trip
before your friend gets married

501
00:43:14,717 --> 00:43:17,459
We never thought of doing such things
when l was young

502
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:20,632
They're both into climbing,
that's why we thought of it

503
00:43:20,765 --> 00:43:22,676
Wasn't it Yuriko's idea?

504
00:43:23,726 --> 00:43:27,435
Be careful not to fall,
like in the film we just saw

505
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:32,557
Don't worry, l won't. It's a safe place

506
00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:34,684
WeIl, that's good

507
00:43:34,821 --> 00:43:38,063
You stiIl have some shopping to do,
so shall we go?

508
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,190
You wanted needles
for the sewing machine

509
00:43:41,744 --> 00:43:44,656
- And another thing. Your favourite
- What?

510
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:46,404
Oh, salted roe

511
00:43:51,462 --> 00:43:55,000
- Could you bring the bill, please?
- Okay!

512
00:43:58,928 --> 00:44:03,547
- Mum, l'll pay
- No. You can pay next time

513
00:44:57,945 --> 00:45:01,733
- You must be tired, Mum
- A little. But l had a lovely time

514
00:45:11,042 --> 00:45:13,249
- Oh, l forgot
- What?

515
00:45:13,377 --> 00:45:17,461
The soup mix.
Hopefully someone else will think of it

516
00:45:17,590 --> 00:45:20,673
WeIl, don't we have some here?

517
00:45:26,974 --> 00:45:29,090
Only three sachets left

518
00:45:30,937 --> 00:45:33,349
You're just Iike your father

519
00:45:35,358 --> 00:45:36,393
What?

520
00:45:36,525 --> 00:45:40,518
You have to prepare everything
perfectly when you go travelling

521
00:45:40,655 --> 00:45:42,520
Your father was just like that

522
00:45:42,657 --> 00:45:45,364
He couldn't do without his pumice
stone at the hot springs

523
00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:49,361
To rub his heels with? l remember that

524
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,656
l'd like to go to the hot springs
with you, Mum

525
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:59,128
Remember that time
we went to Shuzen Temple?

526
00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:01,669
We saw all those carp
in the pond at the inn

527
00:46:01,801 --> 00:46:06,545
And I threw buttered peanuts to them
and they ate them all up

528
00:46:06,681 --> 00:46:10,094
Then we found the carp next morning
floating belly-up

529
00:46:10,226 --> 00:46:14,185
l was shocked when l saw them,
but dad thought it was hilarious

530
00:46:14,313 --> 00:46:18,022
That was the last trip
we took with your father

531
00:46:19,277 --> 00:46:22,064
The budding maple leaves
were so beautiful

532
00:46:30,121 --> 00:46:33,409
Know what? We should save
some money and take a trip

533
00:46:33,541 --> 00:46:34,621
Where to?

534
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:36,832
We couId travel around
on a tourist pass

535
00:46:36,961 --> 00:46:41,796
- We could visit uncle at lkaho, too
- Good idea. Let's do it

536
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:46,960
We won't be able to do that
after you get married

537
00:46:48,097 --> 00:46:51,840
Mum, why are you so eager
to marry me off?

538
00:46:51,976 --> 00:46:55,560
It has to happen eventuaIly

539
00:46:55,688 --> 00:46:58,896
No, l'm not going to get married.
l'm staying as l am

540
00:47:00,484 --> 00:47:04,944
But when l do find someone
l really care for, what do you think?

541
00:47:05,072 --> 00:47:06,562
About what?

542
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:11,905
- Won't you get lonely?
- l will, but l'll have to bear it

543
00:47:12,038 --> 00:47:13,778
I'Il be just fine

544
00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:17,077
I'm sure my mother bore it, too

545
00:47:17,209 --> 00:47:19,825
That's how it is
with mothers and daughters

546
00:47:28,012 --> 00:47:31,800
Mum, shall we go to bed soon?

547
00:47:31,932 --> 00:47:34,298
Okay. We need to get up early

548
00:47:36,937 --> 00:47:39,053
I've had a Iovely time today

549
00:48:41,001 --> 00:48:42,411
- Three of a kind
- A three?

550
00:48:49,802 --> 00:48:54,842
- Here you go. Reach!
- That was quick

551
00:48:57,143 --> 00:48:58,758
- You want this?
- Yes

552
00:49:00,813 --> 00:49:03,520
- Then l'll give you this
- Okay, l'll take it

553
00:49:06,694 --> 00:49:09,857
Reach with a bonus
makes three in a row

554
00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:13,026
Can't you be a bit nicer
to the bridegroom-to-be?

555
00:49:13,826 --> 00:49:16,863
Don't worry.
l gave you a gift just recently, didn't l?

556
00:49:17,872 --> 00:49:19,863
Why did you have to come and play?

557
00:49:23,085 --> 00:49:25,167
She's making your husband-to-be cry

558
00:49:25,296 --> 00:49:28,288
RealIy? Don't be too hard on him

559
00:49:28,424 --> 00:49:31,757
Hey, you sound Iike a wife aIready

560
00:49:33,762 --> 00:49:35,377
What's the character for 'fresh'?

561
00:49:35,514 --> 00:49:38,972
Fresh? lf it's about your bridegroom,
surely you mean 'gloomy'

562
00:49:40,394 --> 00:49:42,760
'Fresh' is written...

563
00:49:42,897 --> 00:49:44,888
l wrote it out in letters

564
00:49:46,859 --> 00:49:50,022
Miwa, l heard you turned down Goto

565
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,272
- What?
- Goto who works at Sanwa Trading

566
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:58,697
l saw him in Shinjuku last night.
He told me you turned him down

567
00:49:58,829 --> 00:50:02,071
l didn't. lt's not how it sounds

568
00:50:02,208 --> 00:50:04,164
He's a good man. Don't reject him

569
00:50:04,293 --> 00:50:07,456
I didn't! l didn't reject him

570
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:10,421
What are you taIking about?

571
00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:13,541
You just keep your mind
on your own husband

572
00:50:16,055 --> 00:50:18,467
Why would you reject
such a good man?

573
00:50:19,308 --> 00:50:22,050
Shall l reintroduce you to him?

574
00:50:22,186 --> 00:50:23,722
No, thanks

575
00:50:23,854 --> 00:50:26,596
l will. You can count on me

576
00:50:57,763 --> 00:50:59,219
lt's time

577
00:51:34,675 --> 00:51:39,169
Today feels like a lucky day. The train
will probably be full of young couples

578
00:51:39,305 --> 00:51:41,967
l wonder how Shigeko's doing right now

579
00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:45,136
Are they sitting face-to-face
or shoulder-to-shoulder?

580
00:51:45,269 --> 00:51:48,932
Whichever they like.
lt's none of our business

581
00:51:49,064 --> 00:51:50,179
There it is!

582
00:52:12,838 --> 00:52:16,877
She said she'd wave flowers at us
from the window

583
00:52:17,009 --> 00:52:18,840
Maybe she forgot

584
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:22,006
How couId she?
She mentioned it so many times

585
00:52:23,307 --> 00:52:25,468
Maybe she was feeIing shy

586
00:52:25,601 --> 00:52:30,391
Besides, they couId've invited us
to the reception today

587
00:52:30,522 --> 00:52:32,137
They should have

588
00:52:32,274 --> 00:52:35,437
Maybe they just forgot about us

589
00:52:35,569 --> 00:52:39,312
We joined the company together,
we've always been good friends

590
00:52:39,448 --> 00:52:44,488
We'll all go our separate ways
eventually

591
00:52:46,288 --> 00:52:50,201
That's what l hate about marriage.
ls it the same for men?

592
00:52:51,752 --> 00:52:53,037
l don't know

593
00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:57,163
lf friendship is just a temporary filler
until we get married.. .

594
00:52:57,299 --> 00:52:59,881
...what's the point of aIl this?

595
00:53:01,762 --> 00:53:02,968
You're right

596
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:05,424
It's stupid!

597
00:53:42,177 --> 00:53:44,213
Sorry to keep you waiting

598
00:53:53,564 --> 00:53:57,148
lt looks like we'Il have
a fine Sunday tomorrow

599
00:53:58,026 --> 00:54:02,770
- I hope so. Bye
- Thank you very much

600
00:54:16,587 --> 00:54:17,997
Welcome

601
00:54:19,131 --> 00:54:20,792
Welcome

602
00:54:39,610 --> 00:54:43,694
- Welcome
- A water and a cup of coffee

603
00:55:05,219 --> 00:55:08,302
What a coincidence, seeing you here

604
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:14,683
- Where did you go, Ayako?
- To the cinema

605
00:55:14,812 --> 00:55:18,430
The cinema? Have a seat

606
00:55:21,860 --> 00:55:23,896
- But...
- Her, too

607
00:55:26,073 --> 00:55:28,314
- But...
- Are you off some place else?

608
00:55:28,450 --> 00:55:30,486
No, I'm going home now

609
00:55:31,453 --> 00:55:34,365
Please excuse me. Goodnight

610
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:43,871
Ayako, don't you want to go with him?

611
00:55:45,217 --> 00:55:46,832
No, I'm fine

612
00:55:46,969 --> 00:55:49,836
- Then please sit down
- All right

613
00:55:53,308 --> 00:55:55,424
Here you are, sir

614
00:55:55,561 --> 00:55:59,304
- WouId you like to order something?
- No, thanks. l'm full

615
00:56:08,574 --> 00:56:09,984
What's going on?

616
00:56:10,117 --> 00:56:13,655
- What do you mean?
- With Goto

617
00:56:14,872 --> 00:56:19,457
l met him for the first time today.
Somebody else introduced us

618
00:56:19,585 --> 00:56:23,248
I introduced you first. lt was me

619
00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:25,541
- But.. .
- But what?

620
00:56:26,967 --> 00:56:32,132
A friend of Mr Goto's, Sugiyama,
works at my company

621
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:36,303
- That's why Sugiyama.. .
- Forget about Sugiyama

622
00:56:36,435 --> 00:56:38,016
What do you think?

623
00:56:38,145 --> 00:56:41,603
- About what?
- About Goto

624
00:56:41,732 --> 00:56:45,600
- l met him the first time this evening
- You already said so

625
00:56:45,736 --> 00:56:48,523
Stop teasing me

626
00:56:48,655 --> 00:56:51,818
I'm not teasing you, l'm serious

627
00:56:51,950 --> 00:56:54,783
Don't you think he's a nice felIow?

628
00:56:54,912 --> 00:56:57,995
Do you like him? Do you?

629
00:56:58,916 --> 00:57:02,625
- l don't know
- You don't know? Really?

630
00:57:02,753 --> 00:57:04,118
l've no idea

631
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:08,122
No idea, huh? WelI, that's a problem

632
00:57:09,635 --> 00:57:14,550
Supposing he's a nice young man...

633
00:57:14,681 --> 00:57:19,641
...and supposing that you like him,
it's as simple as that

634
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:23,058
- What's simple?
- Marriage

635
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:27,524
- No way!
- What do you mean?

636
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:33,068
Suppose l fell in love
with somebody...

637
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,034
...there might be a number of reasons
for not being able to get married

638
00:57:37,162 --> 00:57:39,949
RealIy? What reasons?

639
00:57:40,082 --> 00:57:43,199
You mean financial reasons?

640
00:57:43,335 --> 00:57:45,917
- That's one
- What are the others?

641
00:57:46,755 --> 00:57:50,668
Like in my case, the girl might be
living alone with her mother

642
00:57:50,801 --> 00:57:52,883
That's not an issue

643
00:57:53,011 --> 00:57:56,674
You'll never get married if you insist
on staying with your mother

644
00:57:57,766 --> 00:57:59,927
I don't need to get married

645
00:58:00,060 --> 00:58:03,302
That's not right.
Women should, you know

646
00:58:03,438 --> 00:58:09,399
Listen, UncIe, romance and marriage
are separate for me

647
00:58:09,528 --> 00:58:12,645
Oh? What do you mean?

648
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:15,648
WeIl, how shalI I expIain?

649
00:58:16,326 --> 00:58:19,113
You mean you could put up
with your husband's affairs?

650
00:58:20,205 --> 00:58:24,619
- No, I'm not silly Iike that
- Oh, sorry

651
00:58:24,751 --> 00:58:28,835
Of course, if you could combine
romance and marriage.. .

652
00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:31,125
...that would be ideal

653
00:58:31,258 --> 00:58:34,216
But l don't think you're unlucky
if you don't have both

654
00:58:34,344 --> 00:58:36,835
You can stiII enjoy Iife

655
00:58:36,972 --> 00:58:40,385
l think that's the case
for most couples

656
00:58:40,517 --> 00:58:44,601
You think so?
Wouldn't you feel sad?

657
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:49,565
No, I wouIdn't.
l belong to a different generation

658
00:58:49,693 --> 00:58:51,558
You're right

659
00:58:51,695 --> 00:58:55,233
I'm happy Iiving with my mother

660
00:58:55,365 --> 00:58:59,108
I'm very fortunate.
l'd rather keep living this way

661
00:59:03,915 --> 00:59:07,032
You Iove your mother so much

662
00:59:08,795 --> 00:59:13,084
You think so?
We often bicker, though

663
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,882
That proves you Iove her

664
00:59:16,011 --> 00:59:20,254
A mother and a daughter wouldn't fight
unless they were very close

665
00:59:21,808 --> 00:59:25,266
- You think so?
- Yes, l think so

666
00:59:26,396 --> 00:59:30,389
She really is a good mother...

667
00:59:30,525 --> 00:59:33,062
...and you're a good daughter, too

668
01:00:05,143 --> 01:00:07,805
Young people these days
really are something

669
01:00:08,897 --> 01:00:11,309
You get some strange ones,
of course

670
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:14,729
- l think what she says makes sense
- What?

671
01:00:15,529 --> 01:00:18,612
Separating romance and marriage

672
01:00:19,866 --> 01:00:22,448
lt's because the world is getting
more difficult to live in

673
01:00:22,577 --> 01:00:26,786
And what do you think?
Do you think Ayako likes that fellow?

674
01:00:26,915 --> 01:00:29,952
I think so, as far as I've seen

675
01:00:30,085 --> 01:00:33,498
She tried to make excuses, though

676
01:00:33,630 --> 01:00:36,167
That was a bit suspicious

677
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:41,464
- Who's this Sugiyama she mentioned?
- He's out of the picture now

678
01:00:43,723 --> 01:00:46,009
So the issue here
is her concern for her mother

679
01:00:46,935 --> 01:00:48,175
Yes

680
01:00:48,311 --> 01:00:51,269
- That's easy to deal with
- How?

681
01:00:51,398 --> 01:00:54,606
- We'll get the mother to marry first
- Remarry?

682
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:59,649
Yes! Then the daughter will marry.
That's both of them sorted out!

683
01:00:59,781 --> 01:01:03,649
- You think that would work?
- Depends on how we persuade them

684
01:01:03,785 --> 01:01:06,447
Sounds like a brilliant idea

685
01:01:06,580 --> 01:01:09,663
If it worked out, it would be ideaI

686
01:01:09,791 --> 01:01:15,457
lt wiIl work. Akiko is so pretty.
Who wouldn't marry her?

687
01:01:15,589 --> 01:01:20,128
Then why don't you ask Akiko
if she's interested in remarrying?

688
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:24,882
- Do l have to do it?
- Of course, it's your idea

689
01:01:25,015 --> 01:01:26,801
It's right that you do it

690
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:31,260
Give it a try. ..will you?

691
01:01:31,396 --> 01:01:34,763
- Okay. l'll try
- Good

692
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:37,437
But l don't have anyone
lined up for her

693
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:42,395
How about Hirayama?

694
01:01:43,950 --> 01:01:45,781
Me?

695
01:01:47,037 --> 01:01:49,824
Yeah, that could work

696
01:01:49,956 --> 01:01:53,540
That's not funny!
There's no way l could do it

697
01:01:54,669 --> 01:01:57,456
She's the widow of a good friend

698
01:01:57,589 --> 01:02:00,205
Don't be so uptight

699
01:02:00,342 --> 01:02:01,798
No way

700
01:02:01,927 --> 01:02:05,169
No way, it would be immoraI

701
01:02:05,305 --> 01:02:09,890
There's nothing immoral about it.
You're a widower and she's a widow

702
01:02:10,018 --> 01:02:15,934
l can't be so detached about it.
l couldn't do such a thing

703
01:02:16,066 --> 01:02:18,603
WeIl, so much for that idea!

704
01:02:19,945 --> 01:02:23,563
- But go ahead and ask her anyway
- l will, then

705
01:02:24,616 --> 01:02:29,280
Don't you dare mention my name,
you hear me?

706
01:02:30,121 --> 01:02:32,112
What a pity

707
01:02:32,249 --> 01:02:36,367
You've been a widower for years
and what do you have to show for it?

708
01:02:36,503 --> 01:02:40,246
I totally agree.
l wish l were in his place

709
01:02:41,675 --> 01:02:43,882
Yeah, l wish l were in his place

710
01:02:45,345 --> 01:02:46,835
I realIy do

711
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:09,824
- Welcome home, sir
- Evening

712
01:03:19,796 --> 01:03:21,787
- Hi, Dad
- You're home?

713
01:03:32,225 --> 01:03:35,467
- Have you had supper, sir?
- Yes, thanks

714
01:03:36,438 --> 01:03:38,053
How about you?

715
01:03:38,189 --> 01:03:41,681
l've eaten already.
l couldn't wait for you all night

716
01:03:41,818 --> 01:03:43,228
l see

717
01:04:01,963 --> 01:04:04,955
What were the scores?
Did you guess right?

718
01:04:05,967 --> 01:04:07,377
Not too bad

719
01:04:10,889 --> 01:04:13,050
What's the matter with you?

720
01:04:13,183 --> 01:04:15,424
- What?
- You seem a bit down

721
01:04:17,187 --> 01:04:20,475
- Has something happened?
- No, nothing

722
01:04:27,113 --> 01:04:29,820
- l have to ask you something
- What?

723
01:04:30,617 --> 01:04:35,156
I've declined, but my friends
are trying to play matchmaker

724
01:04:35,288 --> 01:04:38,121
- For me?
- No, for me

725
01:04:38,249 --> 01:04:39,614
For you?

726
01:04:40,794 --> 01:04:42,375
Who's the woman?

727
01:04:42,504 --> 01:04:46,668
Aside from who she might be,
what do you think?

728
01:04:47,467 --> 01:04:51,426
That depends on who you're marrying.
Do l know her?

729
01:04:52,597 --> 01:04:54,428
Tell me who it is

730
01:04:55,767 --> 01:04:57,303
Don't hide it from me

731
01:04:57,435 --> 01:05:00,518
- l'm not hiding it
- Then who is it? Tell me

732
01:05:03,817 --> 01:05:06,354
You know Mrs Miwa, don't you?

733
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,233
Oh, her? She's great.
l'd be fine with her

734
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:13,698
So you approve?

735
01:05:13,827 --> 01:05:16,739
Of course! And you declined?

736
01:05:18,498 --> 01:05:22,662
- Sort of
- That's a stupid thing to do!

737
01:05:22,794 --> 01:05:24,534
- Really?
- Yes!

738
01:05:24,671 --> 01:05:27,413
- So you'd accept?
- Of course

739
01:05:27,549 --> 01:05:32,213
Listen, Dad, l always hoped
you'd get remarried

740
01:05:34,597 --> 01:05:35,677
Why?

741
01:05:35,807 --> 01:05:38,389
I'm going to get married someday...

742
01:05:38,518 --> 01:05:41,635
...and if you're still alone,
you'll end up living with us

743
01:05:41,771 --> 01:05:44,353
You'd be in the way.
lt's not fair on my wife

744
01:05:44,482 --> 01:05:45,642
ldiot!

745
01:05:45,775 --> 01:05:48,608
And you wouIdn't like it, either

746
01:05:48,736 --> 01:05:50,727
So you'd better marry Mrs Miwa

747
01:05:50,864 --> 01:05:53,150
- lt's a great chance
- Chance?

748
01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:55,444
But is she reaIly wilIing?

749
01:05:55,577 --> 01:05:57,192
I don't know yet

750
01:05:57,328 --> 01:06:02,539
What? You don't know?
You need to be more confident

751
01:06:02,667 --> 01:06:07,001
- So you like the idea?
- Yes, l do. Absolutely

752
01:06:07,130 --> 01:06:08,870
l see...

753
01:06:37,785 --> 01:06:40,401
Dad, you look much happier now

754
01:07:18,535 --> 01:07:20,071
Please enter

755
01:07:28,336 --> 01:07:30,497
What is it?

756
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:34,964
Today's such a beautifuI day

757
01:07:35,093 --> 01:07:39,462
Well...it's been like this
for a few days

758
01:07:39,597 --> 01:07:42,054
Yes, it's Iovely

759
01:07:42,183 --> 01:07:44,515
There was an earthquake
last night, though

760
01:07:44,644 --> 01:07:47,636
RealIy? l didn't feeI it

761
01:07:47,772 --> 01:07:51,185
There was. Only a small one, though

762
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,157
So what is it? What's the matter?

763
01:08:07,250 --> 01:08:09,957
- What we discussed the other night...
- What's that?

764
01:08:10,086 --> 01:08:12,202
You know,
when we were at the golf course

765
01:08:12,338 --> 01:08:15,080
About employing students?

766
01:08:15,216 --> 01:08:17,377
No, at the clubhouse

767
01:08:22,015 --> 01:08:25,098
- What was it?
- About Miwa's wife

768
01:08:26,644 --> 01:08:29,010
Did you think of a suitable man?

769
01:08:29,147 --> 01:08:33,436
WeIl...l've given it some thought

770
01:08:33,568 --> 01:08:35,809
- And?
- Well...

771
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:40,655
Remember what you suggested?
My son likes the idea

772
01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:43,274
What did I say?

773
01:08:43,411 --> 01:08:44,947
You remember!

774
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:48,162
No, I don't at alI

775
01:08:48,291 --> 01:08:49,997
Stop pretending

776
01:08:50,126 --> 01:08:54,495
l'm serious. Do you think Taguchi
has already asked her?

777
01:08:54,631 --> 01:09:01,343
No idea... But you didn't seem
at all interested then

778
01:09:01,471 --> 01:09:04,929
Yes, I know, I know...

779
01:09:05,975 --> 01:09:09,968
...but life can be inconvenient
in a lot of ways for a widower

780
01:09:10,104 --> 01:09:12,345
'lnconvenient'? You have a maid

781
01:09:12,482 --> 01:09:17,397
I know that, but I just thought...

782
01:09:17,528 --> 01:09:21,112
There's an itch that
your maid can't scratch?

783
01:09:22,283 --> 01:09:23,989
Sort of

784
01:09:24,118 --> 01:09:28,157
And you've suddenly developed
such an itch

785
01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:30,280
Sort of

786
01:09:30,416 --> 01:09:34,705
I don't know about your itches,
but what do you want me to do?

787
01:09:34,837 --> 01:09:37,874
Well, I'd Iike you...

788
01:09:38,591 --> 01:09:41,424
...to talk to her...about me

789
01:09:41,552 --> 01:09:43,759
l think you should leave that
to Taguchi

790
01:09:43,888 --> 01:09:48,052
No, that man talks too much

791
01:09:48,184 --> 01:09:51,722
- l want you to do it instead
- Me?

792
01:09:51,854 --> 01:09:54,687
Yes. Would you do it for me?

793
01:09:56,067 --> 01:09:57,477
Well...

794
01:10:04,409 --> 01:10:07,901
Will you get me Mr Taguchi
at Nitto Electric?

795
01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:13,202
- Do you think Taguchi can handle it?
- No problem. That's what we agreed

796
01:10:13,334 --> 01:10:15,950
But when he gets involved,
things tend to...

797
01:10:16,087 --> 01:10:17,918
FaIl apart?

798
01:10:19,173 --> 01:10:22,290
HeIIo? What? He's away?

799
01:10:26,931 --> 01:10:29,422
- He's not there
- l see

800
01:10:31,644 --> 01:10:35,011
- l'lI talk to him
- As soon as you can

801
01:10:36,274 --> 01:10:38,105
Are you that itchy?

802
01:10:39,485 --> 01:10:43,069
l'm no good at this,
no matter how old l am

803
01:10:48,453 --> 01:10:51,365
- Where are you going?
- To the toilet

804
01:11:23,196 --> 01:11:24,936
Welcome!

805
01:11:25,072 --> 01:11:26,812
Welcome

806
01:11:30,286 --> 01:11:32,698
So...where's Hirayama?

807
01:11:32,830 --> 01:11:34,536
He's not here yet

808
01:11:34,665 --> 01:11:36,246
- Did you talk to her?
- Yeah

809
01:11:39,462 --> 01:11:42,329
- How did it go?
- Well...

810
01:11:42,465 --> 01:11:45,207
... I got a bit sidetracked

811
01:11:46,385 --> 01:11:49,377
Could l have a glass of whisky
with water?

812
01:11:52,934 --> 01:11:54,720
I'Il have another, too

813
01:11:56,604 --> 01:11:58,720
So what's the story?

814
01:11:59,398 --> 01:12:04,142
She has absolutely no intention
of getting remarried

815
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:07,441
She talked about her late husband
from start to finish

816
01:12:08,199 --> 01:12:10,906
Did you mention Ayako and Goto?

817
01:12:11,035 --> 01:12:14,277
- Yes, l did
- What did she say?

818
01:12:14,413 --> 01:12:16,779
She just smiled
and said, 'Oh, realIy?'

819
01:12:16,916 --> 01:12:20,283
And what about Hirayama?

820
01:12:20,419 --> 01:12:22,284
l couldn't mention his name

821
01:12:22,421 --> 01:12:25,413
lt was like l'd gone there
to hear her talk about Miwa

822
01:12:25,550 --> 01:12:27,541
l was touched
by what she told me, too

823
01:12:27,677 --> 01:12:30,794
- So you didn't mention Hirayama?
- Nothing

824
01:12:30,930 --> 01:12:32,716
Here you are, sirs

825
01:12:36,936 --> 01:12:39,177
But Hirayama's serious

826
01:12:41,607 --> 01:12:44,519
She's too good for Hirayama

827
01:12:44,652 --> 01:12:46,813
She's as lovely as ever

828
01:12:46,946 --> 01:12:50,234
l wish you'd been there
to see her moved to tears

829
01:12:50,366 --> 01:12:51,822
Oh, really?

830
01:12:52,535 --> 01:12:56,653
She was like a beautiful flower
in the rain

831
01:12:56,789 --> 01:13:01,328
And she peeled an apple for me
with her gorgeous white hands

832
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:03,451
And you ate it?

833
01:13:03,588 --> 01:13:06,295
l did indeed. lt was delicious

834
01:13:08,718 --> 01:13:10,083
And she gave this

835
01:13:12,513 --> 01:13:16,552
- What did you go there for?
- What are you getting at?

836
01:13:16,684 --> 01:13:18,640
What about Hirayama?

837
01:13:19,562 --> 01:13:22,474
There's nothing l can do.
Forget about him

838
01:13:22,607 --> 01:13:27,476
- But he's in a hurry
- He can hurry all he wants!

839
01:13:27,612 --> 01:13:32,777
Tell him to just put some ointment
on that itch of his

840
01:13:33,701 --> 01:13:36,613
I guess we'd better forget about him

841
01:13:36,746 --> 01:13:38,282
Yeah, forget him

842
01:13:39,332 --> 01:13:40,742
Welcome!

843
01:13:40,875 --> 01:13:42,661
That's him. He's here

844
01:13:49,967 --> 01:13:51,878
- Hey
- Hi

845
01:13:52,011 --> 01:13:53,876
Sorry l'm late

846
01:14:00,353 --> 01:14:02,469
Hey, want a drink?

847
01:14:02,605 --> 01:14:05,347
- Anything's fine
- All right

848
01:14:17,161 --> 01:14:19,368
Have these as well

849
01:14:36,973 --> 01:14:39,965
Taguchi, did you see her?

850
01:14:41,268 --> 01:14:43,350
Yeah, l did

851
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:48,853
- Did you taIk to her?
- Yeah, l did

852
01:14:50,069 --> 01:14:52,230
- How did it go?
- Well...

853
01:14:54,281 --> 01:14:57,023
...you need to be patient

854
01:15:00,371 --> 01:15:03,033
You need to be patient

855
01:15:23,310 --> 01:15:24,516
RealIy?

856
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:30,182
- l feel sorry for Mr Hirayama
- l know

857
01:15:30,317 --> 01:15:33,150
They're having fun at his expense

858
01:15:33,279 --> 01:15:35,190
They're so bad, those two

859
01:15:36,157 --> 01:15:38,364
Your husband's a bit better

860
01:15:38,492 --> 01:15:43,361
Mine asked me the other day,
'lf l died, would you get remarried?'

861
01:15:43,497 --> 01:15:46,739
And l said, 'No, l've had enough.'
Then he said, 'l would'

862
01:15:46,876 --> 01:15:50,710
l asked him, 'To whom?'
He said, 'To Akiko, of course'

863
01:15:50,838 --> 01:15:54,456
- RealIy? Mine's probably the same
- Pretty women have that advantage

864
01:15:54,592 --> 01:15:57,174
That's so true. Makes me jealous

865
01:15:57,303 --> 01:16:00,841
Akiko can't just suddenly
decide to get remarried

866
01:16:00,973 --> 01:16:04,090
She won't say yes right away.
l wouldn't, either

867
01:16:04,226 --> 01:16:07,639
Me, neither. Even if l were interested

868
01:16:07,772 --> 01:16:11,060
- Right. They're so tactless
- l agree

869
01:16:12,943 --> 01:16:15,355
- l'll see you Iater, Mum
- On a date, Michiko?

870
01:16:15,488 --> 01:16:19,072
Yes, good guess. Until Iate tonight

871
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,236
- See you later
- Bye

872
01:16:21,368 --> 01:16:23,450
What's to be done
with young people nowadays?

873
01:16:23,579 --> 01:16:25,365
Mine's a headache, too

874
01:16:25,498 --> 01:16:28,080
Things were simpIer in our day

875
01:16:28,209 --> 01:16:30,165
All we wanted was
to go to the theatre

876
01:16:30,294 --> 01:16:34,583
Yes, <i>Mon Paris</i> or
<i>When Lilac Blooms</i>

877
01:16:34,715 --> 01:16:38,207
Nowadays, they listen to rockabilly
and that Presley

878
01:16:38,344 --> 01:16:41,086
No wonder things like
dyed flowers are in fashion

879
01:16:41,222 --> 01:16:42,678
How true

880
01:16:45,726 --> 01:16:47,887
- Good afternoon
- Hello

881
01:16:49,897 --> 01:16:53,890
We're taIking about matchmaking
Mrs Miwa's daughter

882
01:16:54,777 --> 01:16:57,564
You should take care
of Ayako's marriage first

883
01:16:57,696 --> 01:17:02,611
l don't think you have to worry
about Akiko's remarriage

884
01:17:02,743 --> 01:17:06,031
Well, your husband came up
with that idea

885
01:17:06,163 --> 01:17:09,530
ls that so?
He said it was your idea

886
01:17:09,667 --> 01:17:11,999
No, it was Taguchi

887
01:17:12,795 --> 01:17:16,253
- Whose is it, l wonder?
- Definitely Taguchi's

888
01:17:16,382 --> 01:17:20,216
l heard you saw Akiko in tears and
thought she was stunningly beautiful

889
01:17:20,344 --> 01:17:22,801
He said that?

890
01:17:22,930 --> 01:17:25,922
He's terrible. It's the other way round

891
01:17:26,058 --> 01:17:28,265
I bet he aIso said I ate the appIe

892
01:17:28,394 --> 01:17:31,557
- Yes
- l heard it was delicious

893
01:17:31,689 --> 01:17:33,225
Don't be siIly!

894
01:17:34,150 --> 01:17:38,484
Anyway, we'll take care of Ayako
first, if you think that's better

895
01:17:38,612 --> 01:17:40,944
Of course we do

896
01:17:41,073 --> 01:17:43,029
We do indeed

897
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:46,276
I'd better leave you two to chat

898
01:18:20,946 --> 01:18:22,356
Welcome!

899
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,156
Is Mr Mamiya here?

900
01:18:26,869 --> 01:18:28,734
Yes, he's waiting for you

901
01:18:30,122 --> 01:18:31,828
Ayako, I'm here

902
01:18:36,378 --> 01:18:38,334
Please come in

903
01:18:43,260 --> 01:18:44,841
I'm sorry I'm late

904
01:18:44,970 --> 01:18:47,177
- You found it all right?
- Yes

905
01:18:47,306 --> 01:18:48,887
Sit down

906
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:56,561
Make yourseIf comfortabIe

907
01:18:57,942 --> 01:19:02,811
We don't have much time,
so l'll get straight down to business

908
01:19:02,947 --> 01:19:07,566
lt's about your marriage.
What do you think of Goto?

909
01:19:08,953 --> 01:19:14,289
- ln what way?
- Do you like him or not? Tell me

910
01:19:16,627 --> 01:19:19,915
- l don't dislike him
- So you like him

911
01:19:20,047 --> 01:19:22,413
He said he likes you, too

912
01:19:24,051 --> 01:19:28,545
So just go ahead and marry him,
will you?

913
01:19:30,140 --> 01:19:32,347
- But, Uncle...
- What?

914
01:19:33,269 --> 01:19:36,432
l haven't decided yet
if l'll ever get married

915
01:19:36,563 --> 01:19:39,054
That's what you said Iast time

916
01:19:39,191 --> 01:19:42,934
So l can't give you an answer
right now

917
01:19:43,070 --> 01:19:46,983
But if you like him,
why not get married?

918
01:19:47,116 --> 01:19:51,325
But what would my mother do
if l got married?

919
01:19:51,453 --> 01:19:54,570
- Ah, your mother...
- Yes

920
01:19:54,707 --> 01:19:59,576
We've thought of her happiness, too.
We won't let her down

921
01:20:00,879 --> 01:20:03,791
What do you mean?

922
01:20:03,924 --> 01:20:10,136
For instance, what do you think
about your mother getting remarried?

923
01:20:10,264 --> 01:20:14,007
Remarried?
ls that what she's considering?

924
01:20:14,143 --> 01:20:16,680
Well, sort of

925
01:20:21,775 --> 01:20:23,606
What do you think?

926
01:20:29,908 --> 01:20:31,990
Sorry to keep you waiting

927
01:20:53,182 --> 01:20:58,017
What's wrong?
You look like you're deep in thought

928
01:20:59,897 --> 01:21:02,730
Is it definite, then?

929
01:21:02,858 --> 01:21:06,817
- What? Your mother's remarriage?
- Who is he?

930
01:21:06,945 --> 01:21:08,810
- The man?
- Yes

931
01:21:09,907 --> 01:21:13,695
Since you and your mother
have known him for years...

932
01:21:13,827 --> 01:21:15,692
... I thought Hirayama might be suitabIe

933
01:21:15,829 --> 01:21:17,194
Mr Hirayama?

934
01:21:17,915 --> 01:21:21,749
What do you think of him?
Are you not keen?

935
01:21:25,381 --> 01:21:28,293
WeIl, it's not definite yet

936
01:21:35,891 --> 01:21:37,131
What do you think?

937
01:22:09,550 --> 01:22:11,836
WeIcome home. Are you hungry?

938
01:22:17,766 --> 01:22:19,597
We've not got much for supper

939
01:22:19,726 --> 01:22:23,844
l meant to shop on my way home,
but l was late, as well

940
01:22:28,527 --> 01:22:31,143
What's wrong? What's happened?

941
01:22:33,991 --> 01:22:37,950
What's the matter?
What's up with you?

942
01:22:47,713 --> 01:22:51,046
l saw somebody today
who l haven't seen in years

943
01:22:52,468 --> 01:22:54,459
lt was on the train

944
01:22:54,595 --> 01:22:56,836
I wonder if you remember her

945
01:22:56,972 --> 01:23:02,183
She often came round to sell rice
in the years after the war

946
01:23:02,311 --> 01:23:04,802
She looked so elegant
l hardly recognised her

947
01:23:06,398 --> 01:23:07,638
Mum?

948
01:23:09,401 --> 01:23:10,857
Yes?

949
01:23:10,986 --> 01:23:13,318
Have you been hiding something
from me?

950
01:23:14,364 --> 01:23:16,150
Such as?

951
01:23:16,283 --> 01:23:20,401
UncIe Mamiya told me
the whole thing today

952
01:23:21,455 --> 01:23:23,662
What about?

953
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:26,497
Mum, are you planning
to get remarried?

954
01:23:27,794 --> 01:23:29,876
Remarried?

955
01:23:30,005 --> 01:23:32,621
Don't hide it from me any more!

956
01:23:32,758 --> 01:23:34,168
Hide what?

957
01:23:34,301 --> 01:23:38,840
- l know
- What do you know? What is this?

958
01:23:40,057 --> 01:23:41,593
I'm completely Iost

959
01:23:41,725 --> 01:23:46,640
Don't deny it! What about dad?
Didn't you think of him?

960
01:23:46,772 --> 01:23:49,434
Wasn't Mr Hirayama
a friend of dad's?

961
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:53,608
- What about Mr Hirayama?
- You're still denying it?

962
01:23:53,737 --> 01:23:55,568
Why wouId you hide it from me?

963
01:23:55,697 --> 01:23:59,406
- What do you mean?
- Enough's enough!

964
01:23:59,535 --> 01:24:02,823
l never thought you'd do this.
l hate all this secrecy

965
01:24:02,955 --> 01:24:04,911
What are you talking about,
Ayako?

966
01:24:06,083 --> 01:24:08,165
lt's sordid! l hate it!

967
01:24:16,301 --> 01:24:18,542
Ayako, where are you going?

968
01:24:18,679 --> 01:24:20,886
Where are you going?

969
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,632
Leave me alone!
l don't like what you're doing!

970
01:24:39,825 --> 01:24:41,235
Here you go

971
01:24:41,952 --> 01:24:44,318
- Cuttlefish, please
- And you, miss?

972
01:24:44,454 --> 01:24:47,116
- l'd like some more of this
- Coming up!

973
01:24:53,505 --> 01:24:55,166
Welcome!

974
01:24:55,299 --> 01:24:56,414
Oh, welcome

975
01:24:58,427 --> 01:25:01,760
- l came to see Yuriko
- Yes, she's in

976
01:25:03,682 --> 01:25:07,220
Yuriko! Miss Miwa is here!

977
01:25:07,352 --> 01:25:08,808
Coming!

978
01:25:08,937 --> 01:25:11,019
PIease go on up

979
01:25:17,362 --> 01:25:20,729
Nice to see you. Come on up.
My room's a mess, though

980
01:25:21,533 --> 01:25:22,818
Please

981
01:25:28,415 --> 01:25:29,996
Here you go!

982
01:25:32,961 --> 01:25:36,624
WouId you like some more clams?

983
01:25:36,757 --> 01:25:39,669
l'll have some

984
01:25:39,801 --> 01:25:41,917
You do Iike your cIams, don't you?

985
01:25:44,431 --> 01:25:46,342
Clams are delicious

986
01:25:46,475 --> 01:25:52,311
They're poisonous, though,
if you're not careful

987
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:56,690
- How about some octopus?
- l've already had some octopus

988
01:25:56,818 --> 01:26:01,482
I want some cIams, the softest part

989
01:26:04,826 --> 01:26:07,067
- And some red shellfish
- Yes, sir!

990
01:26:12,501 --> 01:26:14,537
So what did you say to her?

991
01:26:15,754 --> 01:26:20,748
l hate it all the more because
he's my father's friend. lt's not right

992
01:26:22,511 --> 01:26:27,722
- That's why you stormed out?
- Yes, because l think it's sordid

993
01:26:29,351 --> 01:26:31,262
So that's what you think

994
01:26:31,395 --> 01:26:35,559
I stiII remember my dad so welI

995
01:26:35,691 --> 01:26:39,149
Why is my mother behaving
like she's forgotten him?

996
01:26:40,070 --> 01:26:42,482
I just can't bear this

997
01:26:44,157 --> 01:26:46,899
Listen, I can understand...

998
01:26:47,035 --> 01:26:49,492
...but aren't you being a bit seIfish?

999
01:26:49,621 --> 01:26:51,236
Why?

1000
01:26:51,373 --> 01:26:53,534
Look at it from your mother's
perspective

1001
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:59,754
- What do you mean?
- Well, she's a woman, too, like you

1002
01:26:59,881 --> 01:27:04,295
- What are you saying?
- You have a boyfriend

1003
01:27:04,428 --> 01:27:06,589
Why shouIdn't your mother have one?

1004
01:27:06,722 --> 01:27:10,180
lsn't that selfish of you?
lf it were me, l'd just stay quiet

1005
01:27:11,017 --> 01:27:13,474
So you'd be fine with it
if you were me?

1006
01:27:13,603 --> 01:27:16,686
Of course.
l'd let my mother live her own life

1007
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,688
- You'd feel differently in my place
- That's not true

1008
01:27:21,820 --> 01:27:24,061
lt was fine when my father
got remarried

1009
01:27:24,197 --> 01:27:27,815
lt didn't mean I'd forgotten
my late mother

1010
01:27:27,951 --> 01:27:31,819
Even now, when l close my eyes,
l can see my mother's face

1011
01:27:31,955 --> 01:27:36,790
My father's a bit sloppy,
but that's all right, he has his own life

1012
01:27:37,711 --> 01:27:40,327
But l don't think that

1013
01:27:40,464 --> 01:27:43,376
But you have no choice

1014
01:27:43,508 --> 01:27:47,467
You can't expect things
to be perfect in this world

1015
01:27:47,596 --> 01:27:49,302
You're acting Iike a baby

1016
01:27:57,564 --> 01:28:00,601
- Yuriko, here you are
- Thanks

1017
01:28:15,207 --> 01:28:17,323
Want something to eat?

1018
01:28:19,628 --> 01:28:21,539
Come on over here

1019
01:28:23,131 --> 01:28:24,871
I'm going home

1020
01:28:25,884 --> 01:28:28,671
Home? l thought you were
staying over tonight

1021
01:28:30,263 --> 01:28:33,426
- l'm going home
- Eat something before you go

1022
01:28:33,558 --> 01:28:35,014
I've had enough

1023
01:28:37,395 --> 01:28:39,386
You're reaIly going home?

1024
01:28:40,732 --> 01:28:43,348
Go home, then. What a baby!

1025
01:29:00,377 --> 01:29:02,208
Go on!

1026
01:29:38,248 --> 01:29:39,738
Where were you?

1027
01:29:50,176 --> 01:29:53,168
l've been worried about you,
running off like that

1028
01:29:54,973 --> 01:29:56,588
Where have you been?

1029
01:30:02,772 --> 01:30:06,640
What are you so upset about?
There's been a misunderstanding

1030
01:30:09,487 --> 01:30:11,728
What did Mr Mamiya teIl you?

1031
01:30:13,533 --> 01:30:16,491
What do you think I'm hiding from you?

1032
01:30:16,620 --> 01:30:18,861
I have no need to hide anything

1033
01:30:21,708 --> 01:30:24,040
You're the one who's hiding something

1034
01:30:25,503 --> 01:30:28,791
- What are you talking about?
- l'm talking about Mr Goto

1035
01:30:28,924 --> 01:30:32,667
You said nothing to me about him,
a man that you like

1036
01:30:33,678 --> 01:30:37,136
l've been waiting for you
to tell me about him

1037
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:44,386
I've heard he's a reaIly nice man...

1038
01:30:44,522 --> 01:30:47,138
...and l've been reaIly happy for you

1039
01:30:47,275 --> 01:30:49,015
Why didn't you telI me?

1040
01:31:20,100 --> 01:31:21,385
- Morning
- Morning

1041
01:31:28,149 --> 01:31:29,559
See you

1042
01:31:32,529 --> 01:31:33,735
Morning

1043
01:31:34,531 --> 01:31:36,647
- Good morning
- Good morning

1044
01:31:51,256 --> 01:31:54,464
Did you make up with your mum
when you got home?

1045
01:32:00,015 --> 01:32:02,677
Are you stiII upset?

1046
01:32:02,809 --> 01:32:07,894
Fine, stay upset.
Stay like that forever

1047
01:33:04,245 --> 01:33:05,655
Thank you!

1048
01:33:07,832 --> 01:33:09,242
Here you go

1049
01:33:17,092 --> 01:33:19,458
- Welcome!
- Welcome!

1050
01:33:27,811 --> 01:33:30,644
That's not good,
quarrelling with your mother

1051
01:33:35,568 --> 01:33:38,435
I lost my mother
when l was quite young

1052
01:33:38,571 --> 01:33:42,780
Sometimes l think back
and wish l hadn't argued with her

1053
01:33:42,909 --> 01:33:45,821
Suddenly l remember
and regret what l did

1054
01:33:50,583 --> 01:33:52,619
l'm from Fushimi

1055
01:33:52,752 --> 01:33:56,244
We have these traditional dolls
made of clay

1056
01:33:57,298 --> 01:34:01,337
They used to be on a shelf
in the kitchen... Are you okay?

1057
01:34:04,931 --> 01:34:07,673
One day, when l was nine years old...

1058
01:34:07,809 --> 01:34:10,516
...I got angry about
some stupid little thing...

1059
01:34:10,645 --> 01:34:13,762
...and l broke all those dolls

1060
01:34:14,774 --> 01:34:17,732
l still remember the shocked look
on my mother's face

1061
01:34:18,736 --> 01:34:20,601
I had no good reason

1062
01:34:23,992 --> 01:34:28,235
l'd got home hungry and found
that supper wasn't ready yet

1063
01:34:28,371 --> 01:34:30,703
She died that autumn

1064
01:34:31,624 --> 01:34:35,162
- Really?
- So it's best not to quarrel

1065
01:34:36,337 --> 01:34:37,747
Never quarreI

1066
01:34:41,467 --> 01:34:43,298
You're right

1067
01:35:07,118 --> 01:35:09,109
Yes? Who is it?

1068
01:35:14,417 --> 01:35:16,533
Good evening

1069
01:35:16,669 --> 01:35:18,625
Oh, hello

1070
01:35:18,755 --> 01:35:21,542
- ls Ayako home?
- Not yet

1071
01:35:21,674 --> 01:35:23,130
But do come in

1072
01:35:31,559 --> 01:35:33,424
Please have a seat

1073
01:35:34,562 --> 01:35:37,770
Do you know where Ayako is?

1074
01:35:37,899 --> 01:35:41,437
- l don't know
- l sort of know...

1075
01:35:43,112 --> 01:35:45,194
I heard what happened Iast night

1076
01:35:45,323 --> 01:35:47,905
So she was at your house last night?

1077
01:35:48,034 --> 01:35:51,526
Yes. And l heard that
you're getting remarried

1078
01:35:54,749 --> 01:35:56,785
What's going on with you girIs?

1079
01:35:56,918 --> 01:36:01,708
So l told her she was being childish
getting upset about it

1080
01:36:01,839 --> 01:36:04,251
You have your reasons
for making your choices

1081
01:36:05,885 --> 01:36:09,218
- l suppose l do
- Ayako isn't being fair

1082
01:36:09,347 --> 01:36:11,588
She's just blaming you
without really thinking about it

1083
01:36:11,724 --> 01:36:15,842
l had a long talk with her,
but she refused to talk to me today

1084
01:36:15,979 --> 01:36:18,846
- Really?
- That's why l came over

1085
01:36:18,982 --> 01:36:23,100
The truth is that I think
she's overstepped the mark

1086
01:36:23,236 --> 01:36:24,442
Why's that?

1087
01:36:24,570 --> 01:36:28,233
If I were Ayako,
l'd rather you got remarried

1088
01:36:28,366 --> 01:36:30,448
RealIy? Why?

1089
01:36:30,576 --> 01:36:34,785
No offence, but I'd feel less
burdened if you were married

1090
01:36:35,957 --> 01:36:38,790
You may be right

1091
01:36:38,918 --> 01:36:41,660
Of course. Everyone thinks so

1092
01:36:41,796 --> 01:36:45,584
Ayako's the only one
who doesn't see it. She's so silly

1093
01:36:46,509 --> 01:36:49,216
I'd be a burden to her, wouldn't I?

1094
01:36:49,345 --> 01:36:51,927
No, of course not

1095
01:36:52,056 --> 01:36:56,720
WelI, maybe just a little burden.
Sorry. Will you be lonely?

1096
01:36:57,645 --> 01:36:59,977
There's nothing l can do about that

1097
01:37:00,106 --> 01:37:03,974
As long as she's happy, l'lI be happy

1098
01:37:04,110 --> 01:37:07,728
You're really amazing.
l'm glad we've had this chat

1099
01:37:07,864 --> 01:37:10,526
And l'm glad you've decided...

1100
01:37:10,658 --> 01:37:13,525
...because otherwise Ayako
would never get married

1101
01:37:14,287 --> 01:37:17,450
- You think so?
- Definitely. She's said so

1102
01:37:17,582 --> 01:37:18,992
Has she?

1103
01:37:19,125 --> 01:37:22,663
lf you decide to get married,
Ayako will quickly follow suit

1104
01:37:23,504 --> 01:37:24,960
She's so stubborn

1105
01:37:25,089 --> 01:37:27,296
She certainly is

1106
01:37:28,468 --> 01:37:32,802
l wonder what she's upset about.
lt's perfect, isn't it?

1107
01:37:32,930 --> 01:37:34,295
What is?

1108
01:37:34,432 --> 01:37:37,924
Mr Hirayama.
He's a college professor

1109
01:37:38,061 --> 01:37:42,430
And he was a friend of your husband's,
so he'll understand everything

1110
01:37:42,565 --> 01:37:45,398
But, Yuriko, you've misunderstood

1111
01:37:45,526 --> 01:37:47,938
No, I haven't. It'Il be fine

1112
01:37:48,071 --> 01:37:52,314
What's fine?
l think you've got mixed up

1113
01:37:52,450 --> 01:37:55,157
l know nothing about a match
with Mr Hirayama

1114
01:37:55,286 --> 01:37:57,368
Don't deny it.
There's no need to be shy!

1115
01:37:57,497 --> 01:38:00,159
Honestly, l know nothing about it

1116
01:38:00,291 --> 01:38:02,202
Believe me

1117
01:38:02,335 --> 01:38:04,451
RealIy?

1118
01:38:04,587 --> 01:38:06,828
How's that possibIe?

1119
01:38:06,964 --> 01:38:09,455
So you know nothing
about the match?

1120
01:38:09,592 --> 01:38:13,005
That's right.
l've heard nothing about it

1121
01:38:13,137 --> 01:38:18,382
That's terribIe.
Why is everyone talking about it?

1122
01:38:18,518 --> 01:38:21,601
You didn't know?

1123
01:38:21,729 --> 01:38:23,139
That's right

1124
01:38:23,272 --> 01:38:26,810
RealIy? That's so ridicuIous!

1125
01:38:30,905 --> 01:38:33,396
Welcome back.
Where have you been?

1126
01:38:39,705 --> 01:38:44,244
You're not stilI upset?
l came to see how you were doing

1127
01:38:45,420 --> 01:38:48,378
lt's none of your business.
Go home

1128
01:38:49,841 --> 01:38:51,126
Okay, l'll go

1129
01:38:51,259 --> 01:38:54,968
Yuriko, you can stay here tonight

1130
01:38:55,096 --> 01:38:58,714
No, Mum, l won't sleep
in the same house as her

1131
01:38:58,850 --> 01:39:01,136
- Ayako!
- No is no. She has to go

1132
01:39:01,269 --> 01:39:03,134
I'm leaving now!

1133
01:39:04,147 --> 01:39:06,103
Excuse me. Goodnight

1134
01:39:06,232 --> 01:39:10,475
You're reaIly Ieaving? l'm sorry

1135
01:39:15,450 --> 01:39:17,031
Don't care!

1136
01:39:22,373 --> 01:39:24,238
- Bye
- Bye

1137
01:39:28,296 --> 01:39:29,502
Sorry

1138
01:39:30,423 --> 01:39:33,290
lt's okay. She's just being stubborn

1139
01:39:54,155 --> 01:39:55,565
Yes?

1140
01:39:57,909 --> 01:39:59,740
Mr Hirayama is here to see you

1141
01:40:11,297 --> 01:40:13,379
What's up?

1142
01:40:13,508 --> 01:40:15,999
An odd situation
seems to have arisen

1143
01:40:17,136 --> 01:40:20,799
- What do you mean?
- A strange girl came to see me

1144
01:40:20,932 --> 01:40:24,345
- What?
- Anyway, l need you to meet her

1145
01:40:24,477 --> 01:40:27,389
- Who?
- She's waiting for you in reception

1146
01:40:27,522 --> 01:40:31,515
- Taguchi's with her, too
- Who are you talking about?

1147
01:40:53,214 --> 01:40:55,250
- Hi
- Hi

1148
01:40:55,383 --> 01:40:57,715
What's the matter?

1149
01:40:59,136 --> 01:41:00,922
Well...

1150
01:41:01,055 --> 01:41:04,718
That's her. She's a friend of Ayako's

1151
01:41:13,442 --> 01:41:15,353
My name is Yuriko Sasaki

1152
01:41:15,486 --> 01:41:18,899
My name's Mamiya.
Please have a seat

1153
01:41:19,949 --> 01:41:21,564
Please

1154
01:41:27,373 --> 01:41:30,786
l have one question for you.
Why are you spreading false stories?

1155
01:41:30,918 --> 01:41:32,328
What do you mean?

1156
01:41:32,461 --> 01:41:34,873
I'm talking about
Mrs Miwa's remarriage

1157
01:41:35,006 --> 01:41:38,498
- Oh, l see
- No, you don't see!

1158
01:41:38,634 --> 01:41:42,047
You told Ayako something that
Mrs Miwa knew nothing about!

1159
01:41:42,179 --> 01:41:45,216
Why would you disrupt
a perfectly happy family?

1160
01:41:47,935 --> 01:41:50,927
Ayako has suffered a great deal
because of you

1161
01:41:51,063 --> 01:41:54,647
Why would you disturb
their peace like that?

1162
01:41:54,775 --> 01:41:58,233
l want to know.
Please explain yourselves

1163
01:42:02,867 --> 01:42:07,361
Can't you tell me? What's so funny
about upsetting them?

1164
01:42:07,496 --> 01:42:10,659
We don't find it funny at alI

1165
01:42:10,791 --> 01:42:12,372
Then why?

1166
01:42:13,586 --> 01:42:17,670
Your name is Yuriko, right?
Please have a seat

1167
01:42:17,798 --> 01:42:19,288
I'm fine standing

1168
01:42:19,425 --> 01:42:20,961
But...

1169
01:42:21,093 --> 01:42:23,505
- Sit down, please
- No!

1170
01:42:23,638 --> 01:42:27,426
Thank goodness you have
a reception room here

1171
01:42:27,558 --> 01:42:30,721
This is exactly what she did to me
at the university

1172
01:42:33,314 --> 01:42:36,101
- By the way, Yuri-chan...
- Use my full name

1173
01:42:36,233 --> 01:42:38,519
Oh... l do apologise

1174
01:42:39,612 --> 01:42:41,978
I can expIain how it happened

1175
01:42:42,114 --> 01:42:44,105
I'm not asking you!

1176
01:42:45,576 --> 01:42:46,986
Right...

1177
01:42:51,207 --> 01:42:56,042
But what do you think about
the idea of Mrs Miwa remarrying?

1178
01:42:56,170 --> 01:42:58,912
- Good idea?
- Yes, it's a good idea

1179
01:42:59,048 --> 01:43:00,834
But that's beside the point

1180
01:43:00,966 --> 01:43:04,834
ActualIy, it isn't.
That's how Ayako is

1181
01:43:06,555 --> 01:43:10,844
She'll never get married
unless her mother remarries first

1182
01:43:10,976 --> 01:43:14,468
Why didn't you say so
in the first place?

1183
01:43:14,605 --> 01:43:17,847
Mrs Miwa knows nothing
about him, does she?

1184
01:43:17,983 --> 01:43:22,568
Hey, she said the same thing
to me earlier

1185
01:43:22,697 --> 01:43:27,612
What's going on? Didn't you mention
my name to Mrs Miwa?

1186
01:43:27,743 --> 01:43:29,859
Just stay quiet for now

1187
01:43:30,663 --> 01:43:33,450
- But...
- Hold your tongue

1188
01:43:34,709 --> 01:43:37,826
We seem to have made
a procedural mistake

1189
01:43:38,879 --> 01:43:44,090
For Ayako to be happily married,
her mother must remarry

1190
01:43:44,218 --> 01:43:48,837
- You understand that?
- Yes. But then why did you.. .?

1191
01:43:48,973 --> 01:43:54,309
l'm sorry for the mistake we made.
Please forgive us

1192
01:43:54,437 --> 01:43:56,302
I apologise to you, too

1193
01:43:57,440 --> 01:43:59,931
- Please sit down
- Please

1194
01:44:09,452 --> 01:44:14,071
Now the question is whether
Mrs Miwa is willing to be remarried

1195
01:44:14,206 --> 01:44:17,243
l asked her about that

1196
01:44:17,376 --> 01:44:19,742
- ls she?
- Yes

1197
01:44:21,130 --> 01:44:23,416
WeIl, that's good news

1198
01:44:28,179 --> 01:44:31,546
We'd like you to heIp us

1199
01:44:31,682 --> 01:44:36,392
We'lI take care of the mother first,
and then Ayako

1200
01:44:37,396 --> 01:44:40,354
- What do you think?
- That's fine with me

1201
01:44:40,483 --> 01:44:43,316
That makes sense to me

1202
01:44:43,444 --> 01:44:45,685
You've perked up again!

1203
01:44:48,449 --> 01:44:52,488
Has it already been decided
that he's to be her husband?

1204
01:44:52,620 --> 01:44:54,030
Well...

1205
01:44:55,873 --> 01:44:58,956
...nothing's definite yet

1206
01:45:00,878 --> 01:45:02,789
Do you object?

1207
01:45:03,881 --> 01:45:05,837
I have no objection

1208
01:45:05,966 --> 01:45:08,207
- l think he's fine
- Fine?

1209
01:45:08,344 --> 01:45:10,460
- Charming
- Charming?

1210
01:45:12,223 --> 01:45:16,216
- So, Hirayama, we should celebrate
- No, no

1211
01:45:18,938 --> 01:45:21,520
'No, no'? You owe us a big meaI

1212
01:45:21,649 --> 01:45:23,355
l do?

1213
01:45:24,819 --> 01:45:26,605
Fine, fine

1214
01:45:32,409 --> 01:45:35,446
- Where are you going?
- To the toilet

1215
01:45:53,222 --> 01:45:54,837
Many thanks!

1216
01:45:58,561 --> 01:46:01,769
Welcome!

1217
01:46:03,023 --> 01:46:06,265
That's quite a way.
lt's good sushi at your place, is it?

1218
01:46:06,402 --> 01:46:09,235
Yes, it is.
Let's have some hot <i>sake</i>

1219
01:46:14,618 --> 01:46:19,237
These humble littIe pIaces
often have surprisingly good food

1220
01:46:20,624 --> 01:46:22,660
Sorry about the 'humbleness'

1221
01:46:23,711 --> 01:46:27,670
- Aren't the master and his wife in?
- They've just stepped out

1222
01:46:27,798 --> 01:46:29,459
And their daughter?

1223
01:46:31,010 --> 01:46:32,546
Well, she's...

1224
01:46:35,014 --> 01:46:38,848
Their daughter's very pretty.
l wish you could meet her

1225
01:46:38,976 --> 01:46:43,845
Yuri-chan, are you okay?
Can you make it home from here?

1226
01:46:43,981 --> 01:46:47,690
Of course l can make it home.
l'm more concerned about you

1227
01:46:47,818 --> 01:46:50,776
- What would you like?
- Where's my <i>sake</i> ?

1228
01:46:50,905 --> 01:46:52,315
Just a moment

1229
01:46:52,448 --> 01:46:54,439
And what would you two Iike to eat?

1230
01:46:55,451 --> 01:46:58,943
- What do you recommend?
- Everything's good

1231
01:46:59,079 --> 01:47:01,070
Make an assortment, wiIl you?

1232
01:47:01,206 --> 01:47:03,197
We can't eat much, you know

1233
01:47:03,918 --> 01:47:06,455
Yes, we can.
The sushi here is really excellent

1234
01:47:06,587 --> 01:47:09,078
Serve us plenty

1235
01:47:09,214 --> 01:47:14,004
Hirayama, I'Il try to help you
persuade Mrs Miwa

1236
01:47:14,136 --> 01:47:17,628
- But can you truly Iove her?
- Yes, l can

1237
01:47:17,765 --> 01:47:19,926
Always and forever?

1238
01:47:20,059 --> 01:47:21,595
Yes, I can

1239
01:47:22,686 --> 01:47:25,302
He Iooks so happy, doesn't he?

1240
01:47:25,439 --> 01:47:27,430
He's very lucky

1241
01:47:27,566 --> 01:47:30,558
Here you are, your hot <i>sake</i>

1242
01:47:32,738 --> 01:47:36,822
I'm reaIly happy for you, Hirayama

1243
01:47:37,743 --> 01:47:42,362
Thank you so much.
l'm so grateful to my friends

1244
01:47:43,958 --> 01:47:46,449
It's not guaranteed yet, you know

1245
01:47:46,585 --> 01:47:49,167
- Don't say that
- Here you go

1246
01:47:51,256 --> 01:47:54,965
But honestly, can you reaIly love
my auntie forever?

1247
01:47:56,178 --> 01:47:57,839
Yes, I can

1248
01:47:57,972 --> 01:48:00,338
Always and forever?

1249
01:48:00,474 --> 01:48:02,385
Yes, I can

1250
01:48:02,518 --> 01:48:06,852
You're a sweet man.
Leave it to me, all right?

1251
01:48:10,609 --> 01:48:12,850
You're such a lucky feIIow

1252
01:48:17,074 --> 01:48:18,939
Welcome, everyone

1253
01:48:19,702 --> 01:48:21,283
Oh, you're back

1254
01:48:21,412 --> 01:48:23,698
- You're late today
- Yeah

1255
01:48:26,250 --> 01:48:28,457
They seem to know you very welI

1256
01:48:29,336 --> 01:48:31,702
- Do you come here often?
- Yeah, every day

1257
01:48:31,839 --> 01:48:33,579
Every day?

1258
01:48:35,718 --> 01:48:39,586
- Did you take the day off work?
- l left work at noon

1259
01:48:39,722 --> 01:48:42,589
- Mr Sugiyama called for you
- What did he say?

1260
01:48:42,725 --> 01:48:44,761
He said he'd taIk to you tomorrow

1261
01:48:48,313 --> 01:48:51,020
I get it. You Iive here

1262
01:48:51,150 --> 01:48:53,141
Yes, that was my mother

1263
01:48:54,194 --> 01:48:56,059
And l'm the daughter of the house

1264
01:48:57,656 --> 01:48:59,146
You're terrible!

1265
01:49:00,743 --> 01:49:04,156
You can eat as much as you like,
as long as you pay the bill

1266
01:49:04,288 --> 01:49:07,746
Of course l'll pay the bill

1267
01:49:10,377 --> 01:49:13,744
Serve us everything you can,
and <i>sake,</i> too

1268
01:49:15,215 --> 01:49:18,173
We're no match for
the young ladies nowadays

1269
01:49:18,302 --> 01:49:20,167
They're way ahead of us

1270
01:49:20,304 --> 01:49:23,592
- Tuna belly, please
- And some clams for me

1271
01:49:28,187 --> 01:49:30,394
But do you reaIly promise me?

1272
01:49:31,190 --> 01:49:35,684
Yes, I promise. l wilI Iove her

1273
01:49:35,819 --> 01:49:39,152
Not that!
l'm talking about paying the bill

1274
01:49:39,281 --> 01:49:43,445
Oh, l will, l will.
l'll be glad to

1275
01:49:44,369 --> 01:49:46,360
Red shellfish for me

1276
01:50:23,450 --> 01:50:26,863
l see. That's why Miwa's
taking a vacation

1277
01:50:28,497 --> 01:50:33,457
- They're travelling all over together
- l'm glad they made up

1278
01:50:33,585 --> 01:50:37,624
Ayako was upset at first,
but she managed to get over it

1279
01:50:38,465 --> 01:50:41,423
Seeing them,
l wished l had my real mother back

1280
01:50:42,386 --> 01:50:44,968
You've got a wonderful stepmother

1281
01:50:46,098 --> 01:50:49,556
She's nice,
but it's not the same thing

1282
01:50:49,685 --> 01:50:51,892
l'm trying to be
a good daughter to her

1283
01:50:52,020 --> 01:50:53,305
RealIy?

1284
01:50:53,438 --> 01:50:56,896
Can't you tell?
l must be acting well

1285
01:50:59,695 --> 01:51:02,107
- Here you go
- Thanks!

1286
01:51:05,868 --> 01:51:09,827
l wonder where Ayako is today?
l'm so envious of her

1287
01:51:09,955 --> 01:51:13,038
Shall we go hiking again
for the farewell party?

1288
01:51:13,167 --> 01:51:16,500
- We can invite Goto, too
- Let's do it

1289
01:51:16,628 --> 01:51:18,710
lt's a beautiful time of year
for hill-walking

1290
01:51:18,839 --> 01:51:22,423
- We shouldn't be in the office
- You're right

1291
01:51:49,995 --> 01:51:56,867
<i>The lanterns twinkle</i>
<i>in the wan light of dusk</i>

1292
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:05,543
<i>And the path winds its way</i>
<i>up to the old mountain hut</i>

1293
01:52:05,677 --> 01:52:13,220
<i>Staring longingly out of the window,</i>
<i>l reminisce about us</i>

1294
01:52:13,352 --> 01:52:21,270
<i>And songs of old are carried</i>
<i>on the wind...</i>

1295
01:52:23,946 --> 01:52:26,358
Ayako, aren't you sIeepy?

1296
01:52:26,490 --> 01:52:28,401
No, not yet

1297
01:52:28,533 --> 01:52:31,195
lt's unfortunate
it's so crowded and noisy

1298
01:52:31,328 --> 01:52:34,240
But there are students
on school trips wherever we go

1299
01:52:34,373 --> 01:52:37,911
The hotel in Nikko was packed
with them. Wasn't it?

1300
01:52:41,380 --> 01:52:45,123
They kept taking our slippers
and entering our room by mistake

1301
01:52:45,259 --> 01:52:48,296
Did they? lt can't have been
very restful for you

1302
01:52:48,428 --> 01:52:50,965
But we still had a loveIy time

1303
01:52:51,098 --> 01:52:53,214
WeIl, that's good

1304
01:52:55,143 --> 01:52:56,553
Excuse me?

1305
01:52:58,230 --> 01:53:01,973
Sir, the teachers from the school
group want to talk to you

1306
01:53:02,109 --> 01:53:04,441
Okay, l'll be right along

1307
01:53:09,283 --> 01:53:14,243
l'm so glad that Ayako's found
a good bridegroom. ..

1308
01:53:14,371 --> 01:53:16,953
...and that you've decided
to get remarried

1309
01:53:19,793 --> 01:53:23,786
I was concerned about you...

1310
01:53:23,922 --> 01:53:26,254
...more so than I was about Ayako

1311
01:53:28,010 --> 01:53:31,127
Thank you for thinking of us

1312
01:53:31,263 --> 01:53:34,050
I'm just happy for you

1313
01:53:34,182 --> 01:53:36,013
Sleep well

1314
01:53:39,730 --> 01:53:42,563
- Goodnight
- Goodnight

1315
01:53:42,691 --> 01:53:44,147
Night

1316
01:53:53,994 --> 01:53:57,452
Shall we go to sleep now?

1317
01:54:19,603 --> 01:54:21,810
Ayako, come over here

1318
01:54:36,578 --> 01:54:38,409
It's quieter now

1319
01:54:39,414 --> 01:54:42,872
Maybe the schooI kids
have gone to bed

1320
01:54:47,672 --> 01:54:50,334
School trips were
always so much fun...

1321
01:54:50,467 --> 01:54:53,880
...but I never Iiked the Iast night

1322
01:54:54,012 --> 01:54:57,425
l was always so sad
that the trip was about to end

1323
01:54:58,892 --> 01:55:01,804
Did you ever feeI that way, too?

1324
01:55:05,774 --> 01:55:09,141
What's the matter? Mum?

1325
01:55:12,614 --> 01:55:15,196
Ayako...

1326
01:55:15,325 --> 01:55:19,785
. ..remember when you said
it was sordid for me to get remarried?

1327
01:55:21,832 --> 01:55:24,665
PIease forget about that

1328
01:55:24,793 --> 01:55:26,954
I'm sorry for what I said

1329
01:55:28,505 --> 01:55:31,588
To teIl you the truth,
l feel the same way

1330
01:55:31,716 --> 01:55:34,879
I've decided not to get remarried

1331
01:55:35,011 --> 01:55:36,217
But, Mum...

1332
01:55:37,472 --> 01:55:40,214
I'm stiII happy with your father

1333
01:55:40,350 --> 01:55:43,183
l'll continue to live
with his memories

1334
01:55:44,479 --> 01:55:46,891
That's all l want

1335
01:55:49,151 --> 01:55:55,738
l really have no desire
to start all over again

1336
01:55:57,409 --> 01:55:58,865
But, Mum...

1337
01:56:00,328 --> 01:56:01,909
l'll be fine

1338
01:56:02,038 --> 01:56:06,998
Don't worry about me any more.
Please marry Mr Goto

1339
01:56:08,170 --> 01:56:10,957
Nothing could give me
greater pleasure.. .

1340
01:56:11,089 --> 01:56:14,923
...than seeing you happily married
to someone you love

1341
01:56:15,051 --> 01:56:19,044
Just forget alI about me

1342
01:56:19,181 --> 01:56:21,217
I won't feeI loneIy at alI

1343
01:56:21,349 --> 01:56:26,309
But how can l leave you all alone
in that apartment?

1344
01:56:27,022 --> 01:56:28,762
l'll be fine

1345
01:56:28,899 --> 01:56:35,520
What kind of prospects will you have
if you stay with me?

1346
01:56:36,948 --> 01:56:43,535
You're young and blooming.
You have a bright future

1347
01:56:44,831 --> 01:56:47,664
There's so much happiness
waiting for you

1348
01:56:51,129 --> 01:56:53,711
Please get married to Mr Goto

1349
01:56:54,716 --> 01:56:57,958
I'Il be absolutely fine on my own

1350
01:57:06,436 --> 01:57:09,018
PIease do as I say

1351
01:57:09,147 --> 01:57:13,857
And please don't think l'm lying
just to convince you to get married

1352
01:57:20,033 --> 01:57:24,868
Listen to me.. .
You do understand, don't you?

1353
01:57:37,884 --> 01:57:41,047
I've realIy enjoyed this trip

1354
01:59:01,676 --> 01:59:05,385
Do you remember when
we lived here during the war?

1355
01:59:09,976 --> 01:59:12,183
Your dad would come home
every Sunday

1356
01:59:12,312 --> 01:59:14,303
Although we were penniless...

1357
01:59:14,439 --> 01:59:17,681
...he'd always find something
to bring back for you

1358
01:59:18,860 --> 01:59:20,691
He was a good father

1359
01:59:24,115 --> 01:59:27,949
This will be our Iast trip together

1360
01:59:31,331 --> 01:59:33,447
I want you to be happy

1361
01:59:40,757 --> 01:59:43,419
You have so much ahead of you...

1362
01:59:43,551 --> 01:59:45,758
...and so do l

1363
01:59:59,401 --> 02:00:03,110
l'll always remember
eating sweet beans with you here

1364
02:00:04,155 --> 02:00:09,024
<i>...the leaves of crimson and ochre</i>

1365
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:13,870
<i>How varied the colours</i>

1366
02:00:13,998 --> 02:00:19,118
<i>They scatter downwards</i>
<i>to the water's surface</i>

1367
02:00:19,254 --> 02:00:23,247
<i>Forming a flowing, richly hued brocade...</i>

1368
02:00:23,967 --> 02:00:27,801
Wedding Reception
for the Goto and Miwa Families

1369
02:01:44,047 --> 02:01:45,753
I'm ready

1370
02:01:46,257 --> 02:01:48,669
Could the bridegroom
please turn this way a little?

1371
02:01:49,761 --> 02:01:51,467
Ready?

1372
02:01:51,596 --> 02:01:53,632
Hold. One more shot

1373
02:02:10,949 --> 02:02:13,816
Could you bring more <i>sake</i>
to that room?

1374
02:02:24,921 --> 02:02:29,460
lt went well today. We had
good weather and everything

1375
02:02:29,592 --> 02:02:31,332
It went reaIIy welI

1376
02:02:31,469 --> 02:02:33,676
lt was a rocky road,
but we had fun

1377
02:02:33,805 --> 02:02:37,673
We certainly did.
Let's toast to Ayako

1378
02:02:38,476 --> 02:02:40,307
And also to Miwa and Akiko

1379
02:02:40,436 --> 02:02:42,301
- Cheers
- Cheers

1380
02:02:48,111 --> 02:02:51,023
It wasn't much fun for me, though

1381
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:56,153
Just remember that
we achieved our goal

1382
02:02:56,870 --> 02:02:58,656
Ayako is now happiIy married

1383
02:02:58,788 --> 02:03:02,872
l'm glad about that,
but l feel a bit used

1384
02:03:03,918 --> 02:03:07,331
At Ieast you alI got pipes

1385
02:03:07,463 --> 02:03:09,499
What, this?

1386
02:03:09,632 --> 02:03:12,544
But you had a good time,
dreaming pleasant dreams

1387
02:03:12,677 --> 02:03:14,713
Dreaming in vain

1388
02:03:17,390 --> 02:03:22,009
We tend to make things
complicated in life

1389
02:03:22,145 --> 02:03:24,101
Maybe Iife's simpler than we think

1390
02:03:24,230 --> 02:03:26,141
Speak for yourself!

1391
02:03:29,485 --> 02:03:32,852
That daughter from
the sushi restaurant? She's a one!

1392
02:03:32,989 --> 02:03:36,026
She was lots of fun

1393
02:03:36,159 --> 02:03:39,868
lt's refreshing to see a girl like that.
Sentimental girls are too much

1394
02:03:39,996 --> 02:03:42,237
Overly practical isn't good,
either, though

1395
02:03:42,373 --> 02:03:46,241
My daughter's aImost that age.
lt's hell for parents!

1396
02:03:52,508 --> 02:03:57,127
l wonder what Akiko will do,
though, all on her own

1397
02:03:58,139 --> 02:04:01,006
Are you stiII hoIding out hope?

1398
02:04:01,142 --> 02:04:03,975
No, I've given up

1399
02:04:04,103 --> 02:04:07,436
So your itches are gone now?

1400
02:04:07,565 --> 02:04:12,650
No, the itches stilI remain

1401
02:04:15,365 --> 02:04:17,481
But we had a good time together

1402
02:04:17,617 --> 02:04:23,112
We'lI have to think of something else
to bring us together

1403
02:04:28,086 --> 02:04:31,954
What about your daughter?
lsn't she of marriageable age?

1404
02:04:32,090 --> 02:04:36,459
No, not yet. And l won't need
any help from you two

1405
02:04:39,847 --> 02:04:41,212
Some more?

1406
02:04:41,349 --> 02:04:44,136
- There's whisky, too
- This is fine

1407
02:04:46,354 --> 02:04:48,345
It was alI good fun

1408
02:05:26,394 --> 02:05:28,510
Mrs Miwa? Are you stiII up?

1409
02:05:30,064 --> 02:05:31,224
Yuri-chan?

1410
02:05:36,654 --> 02:05:39,361
l just wanted to check
you were all right

1411
02:05:40,575 --> 02:05:43,988
We all went to the Ginza
after the reception

1412
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:45,530
For you

1413
02:05:48,750 --> 02:05:50,081
Thank you

1414
02:05:50,209 --> 02:05:52,700
Ayako looked so beautifuI today...

1415
02:05:52,837 --> 02:05:54,998
...with her hair up
in the traditional style

1416
02:05:55,131 --> 02:05:58,544
You think so?
She said she didn't like it

1417
02:05:59,385 --> 02:06:00,750
It was perfect

1418
02:06:00,887 --> 02:06:04,004
Can l pop in to see you
from time to time?

1419
02:06:04,140 --> 02:06:08,600
Of course. Do come and see me.
l mean it

1420
02:06:10,938 --> 02:06:13,179
I'm glad that you Iook happy

1421
02:06:13,316 --> 02:06:19,277
Yes, l am. l'm very happy today,
thanks to you all

1422
02:06:19,906 --> 02:06:22,943
- And Ayako's happy
- She really is

1423
02:06:23,076 --> 02:06:25,863
She's blessed to have you
as a mother

1424
02:06:27,121 --> 02:06:29,203
I have to go now

1425
02:06:29,332 --> 02:06:33,575
WelI, thank you so much
for coming to see me

1426
02:06:33,711 --> 02:06:37,078
- Goodnight
- Goodnight

1427
02:06:38,341 --> 02:06:40,548
- Bye
- Bye

1428
02:08:25,239 --> 02:08:28,231
The End
