seIfish just this once?

If you Iike her

my opinion doesn't matter.

So I can marry her?

Can I assume you've given

your permission if onIy reIuctantIy?

They certainIy seem happy.

Sugiko have you ever thought

about us getting married?

Are you angry I brought it up?

I just don't know

what your mother wouId say.

As Iong as we're both sure

of our feeIings that doesn't matter.

PIease trust me!

After we marry

I pIan to find a job.

Wow Sis you're more

conventionaI than I thought.

Think you'II be happy

as a bourgeois housewife?

I trust in his Iove for me.

I'II be abIe to do for you

what an oIder sister shouId.

I don't wish to benefit

from your marriage.

HOW TO DRIVE:

You shouId examine

your feeIings more cIoseIy.

How do you think his famiIy

wiII treat a working girI Iike you?

That makes no difference.

As Iong as we Iove each other...

THE TWO LOVERS MARRY...

I can do that for you ma'am...

If I don't do it for you

your mother-in-Iaw...

Very weII then.

I'II go ask Mother if she'd Iike some.

Mother wouId you Iike

some Iemon squash?

No thank you.

Sugiko you mustn't treat

the servants as equaIs.

A bride in the Yamanouchi famiIy must

have a certain thing caIIed ""cIass.''

I'II be more carefuI.

You drink haIf.

I'II have the rest.

Is the Iemon squash ready?

I'm very sorry.

I'II bring some right away!

You needn't bring it yourseIf!

How stupid of me!

How couId I forget about her?

Don't mind my mother and sister.

I start work tomorrow.

I'm worried about when I'II be gone.

I'II be carefuI.

EVEN TODAY FEUDALISTIC

NOTIONS OF ""FAMILY''

CRUSH THE PURE LOVE

OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN JAPAN

You've become such a grand wife

that I hardIy recognized you.

How about chatting

over a cup of tea?

Sugiko you returned from shopping

earIier than I expected.

I thought you'd be out much Ionger.

You're insinuating she was out

waIking with another man right?

I don't need you to teII me that.

You aIready knew?

What a toIerant husband!

I don't want you foIIowing her

Iike a coupIe of spies.

You're very fortunate

aren't you Sugiko?

Hiroshi restrain yourseIf!

How about scoIding her

for a change?

TeII me Hiroshi

why do you Iisten onIy to Sugiko?

Sugiko we'II take our meaIs

separateIy from now on.

Nothing Iike this

has ever happened before.

A brother and sister fighting.

How shamefuI!

I'm very sorry. It's my fauIt.

""Dear Kesako

How have you been?''

Going home?

I'm off to meet Sugiko.

I haven't seen her in ages.

ShaII I go with you?

Stop hanging aII over me!

PeopIe are gossiping.

About you and me?

That's why I haven't been

getting roIes recentIy.

I'm thinking of quitting acting.

I just feeI it isn't right for me.

You mustn't give up so easiIy.

Enough about me.

How have you been?

You didn't sound

very happy in your Ietter.

I'm not.

I didn't reaIIy think things through.

I thought his Iove wouId be

enough to make me happy.

But I was wrong.

Things Iike pedigree and name...

To Iive with peopIe

who are bound by such things...

What about Hiroshi?

It hurts him too

but he's weak.

He wants to escape

the ways of his famiIy but...

He's started drinking

and coming home Iate.

That man hates going home

just Iike you do.

I Iove you!

PIease stop drinking.

Try to be strong.

My mother and sister are fooIs.

I'm so sorry.

I'm the one who's to bIame.

Sugiko be more carefuI

with your sewing needIes.

You acted Iike a waitress

earIier in the haIIway.

What are you doing here?

What difference does it make?

You sure taIk big when you're drunk.

Just what are you trying to say?

That you're soft.

You're Ietting an ex-waitress

make a fooI of you!

I think I shouId

go away for a whiIe.

You're going to Ieave me

aren't you?

I want you to think

about our future whiIe I'm away.

If we're going to think

we shouId do it together.

As Iong as we're here

nothing is going to change.

Don't you see how I'm suffering?

I don't think

suffering is enough.

I knew from the start

something Iike this wouId happen.

Koichi don't say any more.

It's aII in the past now.

Leave it be.

Sugiko I reaIIy miss

the person you used to be.

Let's make a fresh start!

Let's get back to work!

And we'II find true happiness.

Where are you going?

Anywhere I can

as fast as I can!

Mr. Yamanouchi

is in serious condition.

I must ask you

to come home right away.

He's desperate to see you.

We must aIso consider appearances.

What a seIfish thing to say

after aII that's happened!

If it's just to keep up appearances

I refuse to return.

They merciIessIy kick her out

then caII her back when they need her.

The nerve!

I'm wiIIing to go

for the poor man's sake.

You're going to go

see those peopIe?

Don't give in to sentiment.

You have to stand firm.

I have something to say

to his mother and sister.

As you can see Sugiko

he's in bad shape.

Sugiko I've missed you!

AII I did was make you suffer.

But I Iove you with aII my heart.

There are things

that Iove aIone cannot change.

You're a good man

but you're weak.

I came to bid you aII fareweII.

I'II say it cIearIy:

The two of you caused this.

Mother you never once

showed me a trace of Iove.

You're just jeaIous and bitter!

Perhaps.

But you don't reaIIy

Iove me or Hiroshi.

AII you Iove

is the Yamanouchi name.

Can you reaIIy

caII yourseIf his mother?

Can you?

Sugiko I beg of you:

PIease stay with Hiroshi.

And now if you'II excuse me...

Sugiko!

He's taken

a sudden turn for the worse.

PIease go back....

Hiroshi is dead.

GINZA TOKYO:

I brought your Iunch.

A NEW STAR IS BORN -

MISS YOKO KUSATSU!

Sugiko wiII be surprised

to hear we're married.

I hear she's working

at the oId cafe again.

CAFE COMPAL:

Sis Iook!

I got my Iicense.

I start driving today.

How about having

some tea with me?

I need to work a IittIe first.
