fighting with Matsu.

They'll mess up the inn.

Matsu is such a patient woman.

Why couldn't someone

marry into your family?

No man could last long

with my mother around.

You shouldn't worry so much

about your mother.

The parent is devoted to the child.

The child's happiness is all that matters.

You think?

You shouldn't keep yourself from marriage

because of your mother.

That's odd.

What makes you say that?

You once told me not to marry.

Did I?

You said something about gold and brass.

Yes, I remember.

What you must do

is to turn the brass into gold.

You should get married. It's time.

Your advice has completely changed.

I'm confused.

Should I or shouldn't I get married?

It would be better if you did.

This isn't a setup?

I'm not as good an actor as you are.

Think about it.

If you find a good man, marry him.

If you find happiness, so will your mother.

I'll think about it.

Think it over carefully.

Always busy!

You have a guest?

It's a man from the tax office.

Yukiko, would you mind going for me?

Remember that handsome man

with the nice neckties?

He's asked us to bring our seal.

Is he your newest candidate?

I would like that.

Do you know what Setsuko said?

What?

She said you didn't look happy

at the wedding.

She said you didn't even smile once.

That's what troubled her most.

Did she tell you that?

I feel so sorry for Setsuko.

You should show her your smile.

It's easy.

Why don't you do it now?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Yukiko, what do you think of him

leaving for Hiroshima this instant?

That's a terrific idea, Mother.

You should go there right away.

Hiroshima?

So she'll stop worrying.

Excellent! Then it's decided.

I can't just leave my business.

This is more important.

Call to Tokyo before he backs out.

Right.

Wait a minute! Hold on!

You're so full of good ideas.

I'm pretty clever.

Yes.

Take him to the phone.

Right away.

Get me Tokyo.

This is Gion 2784.

Mrs Hirayama?

It's Yukiko in Kyoto.

Mr Hirayama is going to Hiroshima

to visit Setsuko.

He'll explain everything.

Quick. Mrs Hirayama is on the line.

Here.

Hi, it's me.

That's right. I'm thinking of going.

I think that's what I'll do.

You're really going to Hiroshima?

I'm so happy. Setsuko will be so surprised.

I haven't made up my mind yet.

It's not necessary for me to go.

It's a long way.

Why are you laughing?

You know what your trouble is?

I know how I am. Anyway, you should go.

Don't worry.

I'm very happy.

Setsuko will be so glad. I'm glad, too.

This isn't about making you happy.

You see...

I know. I'm very happy.

Send her my love. Enjoy your trip. Goodbye.

Excuse me.

- I would like to send a telegram.

- Certainly.

Arriving at Hiroshima 2:18 p.m. Father.

- You got it?

- Yes, sir.

- I'll have it sent from Osaka.

- Please do.
