Synopsis: Family and friends of the late Shuzo Miwa have gathered for his annual memorial service, this one marking the seventh anniversary of his passing. Three of his long time friends - married Shuzo Taguchi, married Soichi Mamiya, and widowed Seiichiro Hirayama - have long known and admitted to each other that they have always been attracted to his widow, Akiko Miwa, who they believe has gotten even more beautiful as she has matured. The three friends take it upon themselves to find a husband for the Miwa's now twenty-four year old daughter, Ayako Miwa, who they believe as beautiful as her mother, and who, as a pure innocent, deserves a good husband. Their self-appointed task is despite them knowing that Ayako does not want them to do so. She doesn't want to get married, at least not yet, as she struggles with her traditional sensibilities in post-war modern Japan. Her first priority as she sees it is to take care of her widowed mother, who would be alone if she were to get married. The diff

01:
35:12,327 -- 01:35:14,238

l'm leaving now, you baby.

1167

01:
35:14,887 -- 01:35:16,843

Excuse me. Good night.

1168

01:
35:17,127 -- 01:35:20,915

You're really leaving? l'm sorry.

1169

01:
35:21,127 -- 01:35:22,162

lt's okay.

1170

01:
35:25,767 -- 01:35:26,961

Baby Ayako.

1171

01:
35:32,447 -- 01:35:34,244

-Bye.

-Bye.

1172

01:
35:38,007 -- 01:35:39,076

Sorry.

1173

01:
35:39,487 -- 01:35:42,524

lt's okay. She's just being childish.

1174

01:
36:03,007 -- 01:36:04,042

Come in.

1175

01:
36:06,567 -- 01:36:08,125

Mr Hirayama is here to see you.

1176

01:
36:19,287 -- 01:36:20,276

What's up?

1177

01:
36:21,527 -- 01:36:23,757

There seems to be a bit of confusion.

1178

01:
36:24,847 -- 01:36:27,407

-What do you mean?

-A strange girl came to see me.

1179

01:
36:28,287 -- 01:36:29,276

What?

1180

01:
36:29,407 -- 01:36:31,602

Anyway, can you help me?

l need you to meet her.

1181

01:
36:31,727 -- 01:36:32,716

Who?

1182

01:
36:32,847 -- 01:36:36,078

She's waiting for you in the parlour.

Taguchi is with her, too.

1183

01:
36:36,487 -- 01:36:37,886

Who are you talking about?

1184

01:
36:59,367 -- 01:37:00,959

-Hi.

-Hi.

1185

01:
37:01,447 -- 01:37:03,483

What's the matter?

1186

01:
37:03,847 -- 01:37:05,838

Well...

1187

01:
37:06,847 -- 01:37:10,396

Here she is. She's a friend of Ayako's.

1188

01:
37:18,727 -- 01:37:20,604

My name is Yuriko Sasaki.

1189

01:
37:20,727 -- 01:37:23,764

My name's Mamiya. Please have a seat.

1190

01:
37:25,047 -- 01:37:26,275

Please.

1191

01:
37:32,127 -- 01:37:35,563

Let me ask you a question.

Why do you say things that aren't true?

1192

01:
37:35,887 -- 01:37:36,876

What do you mean?

1193

01:
37:37,047 -- 01:37:39,277

l'm talking about Mrs Miwa's remarriage.

1194

01:
37:39,647 -- 01:37:41,160

l see.

1195

01:
37:41,447 -- 01:37:46,123

Why did you tell Ayako something

that Mrs Miwa herself knew nothing about?

1196

01:
37:46,327 -- 01:37:49,319

Why would you disturb

a perfectly happy family?

1197

01:
37:51,847 -- 01:37:54,156

Ayako has suffered a great deal

because of you.

1198

01:
37:54,767 -- 01:37:57,964

Why would you

disturb their peace like that?

1199

01:
37:58,487 -- 01:38:01,718

l've come to ask you this.

Please explain it to me.

1200

01:
38:06,167 -- 01:38:10,160

Can't you tell me?

What's so funny about upsetting them?

1201

01:
38:10,687 -- 01:38:13,565

We don't find it funny at all.

1202

01:
38:13,687 -- 01:38:15,325

Then why?

1203

01:
38:16,367 -- 01:38:20,360

Your name is Yuriko, right?

Please have a seat.

1204

01:
38:20,607 -- 01:38:22,040

l'm fine standing.

1205

01:
38:22,287 -- 01:38:23,925

But...

1206

01:
38:24,127 -- 01:38:25,685

-Sit down, please.

-No.

1207

01:
38:26,007 -- 01:38:29,317

lt's nice that you've got a parlour here.

1208

01:
38:29,927 -- 01:38:32,282

She did this to me at the college.

1209

01:
38:35,407 -- 01:38:38,046

-By the way, Miss...

-Please call me Yuriko.

1210

01:
38:38,327 -- 01:38:40,443

Excuse me.

1211

01:
38:41,527 -- 01:38:43,722

l can explain how it happened.

1212

01:
38:44,207 -- 01:38:45,765

l'm not asking you.

1213

01:
38:47,167 -- 01:38:48,202

Okay.

1214

01:
38:52,607 -- 01:38:58,125

But what do you think

about the idea of Mrs Miwa remarrying?

1215

01:
38:58,607 -- 01:39:01,679

l think it's a good idea,

but that's beside the point.

1216

01:
39:02,047 -- 01:39:06,120

Actually, it isn't. lt's how Ayako is.

1217

01:
39:07,327 -- 01:39:11,445

She'll never get married

unless her mother does first.

1218

01:
39:11,687 -- 01:39:14,645

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

1219

01:
39:14,847 -- 01:39:18,157

Mrs Miwa doesn't know anything about him,

does she?

1220

01:
39:18,367 -- 01:39:22,280

She said the same thing to me earlier.

1221

01:
39:22,967 -- 01:39:27,518

What's going on?

Didn't you mention my name to Mrs Miwa?

1222

01:
39:27,727 -- 01:39:29,604

You stay quiet for now.

1223

01:
39:30,407 -- 01:39:32,921

-But...

-Don't speak now.

1224

01:
39:34,247 -- 01:39:37,239

We seem to have made

a procedural mistake.

1225

01:
39:38,287 -- 01:39:42,803

But for Ayako to be happily married,

her mother must be married, too.

1226

01:
39:43,367 -- 01:39:44,686

Can't you understand that?

1227

01:
39:44,807 -- 01:39:47,879

Yes. But then why did you...

1228

01:
39:48,087 -- 01:39:52,444

l'm so sorry for the mistake we made.

Please forgive us.

1229

01:
39:53,247 -- 01:39:54,999

l apologise to you, too.

1230

01:
39:55,927 -- 01:39:58,521

-Please sit down.

-Please.

1231

01:
40:07,567 -- 01:40:11,845

Now the question is

whether Mrs Miwa is willing to be remarried.

1232

01:
40:12,367 -- 01:40:15,086

l asked her about that.

1233

01:
40:15,367 -- 01:40:17,198

-ls she?

-Yes.

1234

01:
40:18,807 -- 01:40:20,718

Well, that's good news.

1235

01:
40:21,047 -- 01:40:22,321

l know.

1236

01:
40:25,567 -- 01:40:28,365

We'd like you to help us.

1237

01:
40:29,047 -- 01:40:33,404

We'll take care of the mother first,

and then Ayako.

1238

01:
40:34,087 -- 01:40:35,156

What do you think?

1239

01:
40:35,287 -- 01:40:37,243

That's fine with me.

1240

01:
40:37,487 -- 01:40:39,717

That makes sense to me.

1241

01:
40:40,207 -- 01:40:42,163

You've brightened up again.

1242

01:
40:42,287 -- 01:40:44,596

You think so?

1243

01:
40:45,047 -- 01:40:48,881

ls it already decided

that he's to be her husband?

1244

01:
40:49,327 -- 01:40:50,157

Well,

1245

01:
40:52,047 -- 01:40:54,766

it's not definite yet.

1246

01:
40:56,847 -- 01:40:58,724

Do you object?

1247

01:
40:59,767 -- 01:41:02,645

l have no objection. l think he's fine.

1248

01:
41:02,887 -- 01:41:03,842

He's fine?

1249

01:
41:04,127 -- 01:41:06,004

-Charming.

-He's charming?

1250

01:
41:07,807 -- 01:41:10,367

So, Hirayama, we should celebrate.

1251

01:
41:10,487 -- 01:41:11,636

No, that's okay.

1252

01:
41:14,167 -- 01:41:16,283

lt's not okay. You owe us a big meal.

1253

01:
41:16,727 -- 01:41:17,716

Me?

1254

01:
41:19,767 -- 01:41:20,882

ine, fine.

1255

01:
41:27,207 -- 01:41:30,085

-Where are you going?

-To the toilet.

1256

01:
41:47,007 -- 01:41:48,360

Thanks for coming.

1257

01:
41:52,087 -- 01:41:53,202

Welcome.

1258

01:
41:53,847 -- 01:41:54,916

Welcome.

1259

01:
41:56,447 -- 01:41:59,564

We came pretty far. ls this

the good sushi restaurant you mentioned?

1260

01:
41:59,687 -- 01:42:02,406

-Yes, it is. Please give us some hot sake.

-Sure.

1261

01:
42:07,607 -- 01:42:12,044

These shabby, humble little places

often have surprisingly good food.

1262

01:
42:13,407 -- 01:42:17,878

Sorry about the humbleness.

Aren't the master and his wife here today?

1263

01:
42:18,527 -- 01:42:20,119

They stepped out.

1264

01:
42:20,247 -- 01:42:21,885

What about their daughter?

1265

01:
42:23,407 -- 01:42:24,726

She's...

1266

01:
42:27,167 -- 01:42:30,398

Their daughter's very pretty.

l wish you could see her.

1267

01:
42:31,247 -- 01:42:35,638

Yuriko, are you okay?
