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

477

00:
38:38,220 -- 00:38:39,255

Of course.

478

00:
38:40,700 -- 00:38:41,974

Wait a minute.

479

00:
38:43,220 -- 00:38:44,209

Yes?

480

00:
38:46,380 -- 00:38:48,940

This is the young lady

who turned you down.

481

00:
38:52,500 -- 00:38:53,535

Really?

482

00:
38:54,300 -- 00:38:56,814

Ayako, this is the man you declined.

483

00:
39:03,140 -- 00:39:05,529

My name's Goto. Please excuse me.

484

00:
39:17,780 -- 00:39:20,010

-You're so mean.

-Why?

485

00:
39:20,780 -- 00:39:23,294

You shouldn't have said that.

486

00:
39:23,420 -- 00:39:25,092

l was just telling the truth.

487

00:
39:25,420 -- 00:39:28,890

-But...

-But what? Will you reconsider?

488

00:
39:29,860 -- 00:39:31,054

No.

489

00:
39:34,820 -- 00:39:35,855

Here's the pipe.

490

00:
39:35,980 -- 00:39:38,858

Wait, Ayako.

491

00:
39:51,420 -- 00:39:54,014

-l heard you work at Toko Trading.

-Yes.

492

00:
39:54,660 -- 00:39:58,812

Say hello to Sugiyama in Accounting.

We went to school together.

493

00:
39:59,220 -- 00:40:00,175

l will.

494

00:
40:00,900 -- 00:40:02,049

Excuse me.

495

00:
40:09,100 -- 00:40:10,055

Come in.

496

00:
40:22,940 -- 00:40:24,134

Here you go.

497

00:
40:34,860 -- 00:40:37,818

-l'm so full.

-You still have some beer left.

498

00:
40:38,220 -- 00:40:40,529

We shouldn't let it go to waste. l'll drink it.

499

00:
40:44,340 -- 00:40:45,568

Not very much.

500

00:
40:51,100 -- 00:40:52,453

Here you go.

501

00:
40:55,860 -- 00:40:59,535

You know, once you get married,

502

00:
40:59,820 -- 00:41:02,015

we won't be able to go out like this.

503

00:
41:02,660 -- 00:41:06,494

Yes, we can. l'm not getting married.

504

00:
41:06,900 -- 00:41:08,731

Eventually you will.

505

00:
41:09,940 -- 00:41:12,977

Until then, we should go out together

once a month or so

506

00:
41:13,100 -- 00:41:15,375

and eat at nice restaurants.

507

00:
41:18,180 -- 00:41:22,219

Let's do that.

Even once every other month would be fine.

508

00:
41:22,740 -- 00:41:25,493

Yes, or once every three months.

509

00:
41:27,580 -- 00:41:30,333

-l'll pay the bill today.

-No, l'm paying.

510

00:
41:30,780 -- 00:41:34,216

You'll be short of funds for the hiking trip.

You bought such a lot of things.

511

00:
41:34,340 -- 00:41:35,489

Don't worry.

512

00:
41:37,180 -- 00:41:38,533

l watch how l spend my money.

513

00:
41:38,660 -- 00:41:42,573

What a great idea, to go on a farewell

hiking trip before your friend gets married.

514

00:
41:43,220 -- 00:41:45,575

No one thought of these things

when l was young.

515

00:
41:46,020 -- 00:41:48,932

They both like climbing.

That's why we thought of it.

516

00:
41:49,060 -- 00:41:50,937

Wasn't it Yuriko's idea?

517

00:
41:51,940 -- 00:41:55,569

Be careful not to fall,

like in the film we just saw.

518

00:
41:55,980 -- 00:42:00,337

Don't worry, l won't. lt's a safe place.

519

00:
42:00,660 -- 00:42:02,093

That's good.

520

00:
42:02,500 -- 00:42:05,970

You still have some shopping to do, right?

Shall we go now?

521

00:
42:06,140 -- 00:42:09,098

You wanted to buy needles

for the sewing machine.

522

00:
42:09,220 -- 00:42:10,858

And another thing. Your favourite.

523

00:
42:10,980 -- 00:42:13,494

What? Oh, caviar.

524

00:
42:18,540 -- 00:42:21,850

-Could you bring the bill, please?

-Sure.

525

00:
42:25,660 -- 00:42:30,097

-Mum, l'll pay today.

-No, why don't you pay next time?

526

00:
43:22,220 -- 00:43:25,496

-You must be tired, Mum.

-A little. But l had a good time.

527

00:
43:34,740 -- 00:43:36,970

-Oh, l forgot.

-What?

528

00:
43:37,220 -- 00:43:41,008

The soup mix.

Hopefully someone else will think of it.

529

00:
43:41,260 -- 00:43:44,058

Don't we have some here?

530

00:
43:50,180 -- 00:43:51,693

Only this much.

531

00:
43:53,780 -- 00:43:56,169

You're just like your father.

532

00:
43:58,340 -- 00:43:59,329

You think so?

533

00:
43:59,460 -- 00:44:02,736

You have to prepare everything perfectly

when you go travelling.

534

00:
44:03,300 -- 00:44:04,619

Your father was like that.

535

00:
44:04,820 -- 00:44:07,857

He couldn't do without even

one pumice stone when he went to a spa.

536

00:
44:07,980 -- 00:44:11,575

The pumice, to rub his heels with?

Yeah, l remember that.

537

00:
44:13,180 -- 00:44:15,740

l want to go to a spa with you, Mum.

538

00:
44:17,420 -- 00:44:20,537

Remember the time we went to Shuzenji?

539

00:
44:20,980 -- 00:44:23,494

We saw a lot of fish

in the big pond at the inn.

540

00:
44:23,620 -- 00:44:27,977

Yes. l threw buttered peanuts to them

and they ate everything l gave them.

541

00:
44:28,300 -- 00:44:31,497

Then the next morning,

we found the fish floating belly-up.

542

00:
44:31,700 -- 00:44:35,579

l was shocked when l saw them,

but Dad looked like he found it funny.

543

00:
44:35,980 -- 00:44:39,177

That was the last trip

we took with your father.

544

00:
44:40,180 -- 00:44:42,410

The budding maple leaves were so beautiful.

545

00:
44:50,700 -- 00:44:53,453

We should save some money and take a trip.

546

00:
44:53,860 -- 00:44:54,929

To where?

547

00:
44:55,060 -- 00:44:56,937

Let's visit a bunch of places

on a tourist pass.

548

00:
44:57,060 -- 00:44:59,130

We can visit Uncle at lkaho, too.

549

00:
44:59,260 -- 00:45:01,774

Good idea. Let's do that.

550

00:
45:03,060 -- 00:45:06,689

We won't be able to do that

after you get married.

551

00:
45:07,820 -- 00:45:11,574

Mum, why are you so eager to marry me off?

552

00:
45:11,860 -- 00:45:14,977

lt has to happen eventually.

553

00:
45:15,340 -- 00:45:18,218

No, l'm not going to get married.

554

00:
45:19,900 -- 00:45:24,257

But when l do find someone l really care for,

what do you think, Mum?

555

00:
45:24,500 -- 00:45:25,694

About what?

556

00:
45:26,460 -- 00:45:27,813

Will you feel lonely?

557

00:
45:28,340 -- 00:45:32,219

l will, but l'll have to bear it. l'll be fine.

558

00:
45:32,740 -- 00:45:35,334

l'm sure my mother bore it, too.

559

00:
45:35,780 -- 00:45:38,248

That's how it is with mothers and daughters.

560

00:
45:46,220 -- 00:45:49,610

Mum, shall we go to bed soon?

561

00:
45:49,860 -- 00:45:52,169

Okay. We need to get up early.

562

00:
45:54,620 -- 00:45:56,372

l had a good time today.

563

00:
46:56,140 -- 00:46:58,096

-Pong.

-Pong?

564

00:
47:04,460 -- 00:47:09,375

-There you go. Reach!

-Reach? That was quick.

565

00:
47:11,780 -- 00:47:13,611

-This is what you want, right?

-Yes.

566

00:
47:15,220 -- 00:47:17,814

-Then l'll give you this.

-Okay, l'll take it.

567

00:
47:20,820 -- 00:47:23,937

Gun. A continuous three.

568

00:
47:24,220 -- 00:47:27,053

Can't you be a little bit nicer

to the bridegroom-to-be?

569

00:
47:27,580 -- 00:47:30,856

Don't worry.

l gave you a gift just recently, didn't l?

570

00:
47:31,780 -- 00:47:33,691

Why did you have to come here and play?

571

00:
47:36,620 -- 00:47:38,770

Your husband-to-be is crying.

572

00:
47:38,900 -- 00:47:41,619

Don't be too hard on him.
