'm Mr. Mamiya.
Please sit down.
Please sit down.
I have to know:
Why are you making things up?
What?
About Mrs. Miwa remarrying.
Oh, that.
"Oh, that"?
Even Mrs. Miwa didn't know about it.
Why did you tell Ayako that?
Why did you have
to stir things up like that?
It's got Ayako very upset.
Why throw such a quiet family
into upheaval?
That's why I've come.
Please answer me.
No answer? What could possibly
be so amusing about your little stunt?
We weren't trying
to be amusing.
Then what?
You say your name is Yuriko?
Please sit down.
I'm fine standing.
But...
- Please be seated.
- No.
Good thing
you have a guest lounge.
She yelled at me
in front of everyone at the university.
Listen, Yuri-chan...
Call me Yuriko.
I'm sorry.
I tried to explain.
I wasn't asking you.
I see.
Miss Yuriko, are you saying
you're against Mrs. Miwa remarrying?
No, but that's beside the point.
No, it's not.
You must realize
how difficult Ayako is.
She won't get married
unless her mother does first.
Then you should have
discussed it with Mrs. Miwa.
She knew nothing
about his proposal.
The young lady
told me the same thing.
What on earth happened?
Didn't you mention me to Akiko?
Just be quiet for a minute.
But...
Hold on.
I admit that we blundered.
But we wanted to marry off Mrs. Miwa
so Aya could marry without worrying.
Can you understand that?
- Yes.
But why did you...
I apologize deeply
for our mistakes.
I apologize as well.
- Now please sit down.
- Please.
The big question is whether
Mrs. Miwa wants to remarry.
She does.
I asked her myself.
- She does?
- Yes.
You're in luck.
You've been a great help.
So first we'll set up Mrs. Miwa,
and then we'll see about Ayako.
Okay?
Yes, fair enough.
Yes, that sounds reasonable.
I see you've perked up again.
But are you sure
this is the man for Mrs. Miwa?
Well...
nothing's definite at this stage.
You don't think he would do?
On the contrary.
I think he'd do just fine.
- You do?
- He's peachy.
Peachy?
Hirayama, this calls for a toast.
You realize
you're treating us, right?
Me?
All right.
Where are you going?
The washroom.
Good-bye now!
Welcome.
So this is the place
with good food?
That's right.
Warm up some sake.
You never can tell. Sometimes these
dumps on the outskirts are good.
Sorry I brought you
so far out of town.
Isn't the boss in today?
He stepped out.
And his daughter?
His daughter?
The daughter here is really pretty.
I wanted you to see her.
Yuriko, are you sure
you can find your way home?
I'll make it home just fine!
It's you I'm worried about.
- What'll it be?
- Where's that sake?
Coming right up!
What will you gentlemen have?
What's good here?
It's all good!
Give 'em the works.
We can't eat that much!
You'll manage.
It's delicious.
Serve it up!
So tell me, Hirayama, things
seem to be going well with Mrs. Miwa,
but are you sure
you love her?
Absolutely.
Forever?
For all eternity?
That's right.
Lucky fellow!
What a lucky dog.
Thanks for waiting.
Here's your hot sake.
Seriously, I really am happy
for you, Hirayama.
Thank you.
"Friends are priceless,"
as they say.
Still, the final decision
hasn't been made yet.
Don't say that!
But look here...
you sure you love her?
Yes, I am.
Forever?
For all eternity?
That's right.
You're okay, you know that?
Just leave it to me!
Lucky dog.
Welcome.
Ah, you're back.
You're a little late today.
Seems you're a regular here.
- You come in often?
- Every day.
Every day?
Yuriko, did you take the day off?
I only worked in the morning.
- Mr. Sugiyama called earlier.
- What did he say?
He'll call back tomorrow.
Wait a minute.
Do you live here?
Yes. That's my mother.
I'm the daughter of the house.
You're incorrigible!
You still have to pay,
no matter how much we eat.
Oh, I'll pay, I'll pay!
Keep the food
and sake coming.
We're no match
for the girls these days.
They really are something!
