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!
Fatty tuna, please.
Clams for me.
So do you give your word?
I give my word.
I'll love her forever.
Not that!
I mean, you promise to pay?
Oh, yeah. I'll pay!
Some red shellfish, please.
So Ayako went on vacation?
Yes, they're traveling all over.
I'm glad to hear
they made up.
Ayako sulked for a while,
but she eventually came around.
I realize now how nice it is
to have one's real mother around.
Your mother's nice too.
Of course,
but it's not the same.
I have to be careful
around her.
Really?
You haven't noticed?
That means I put on a good act.
Here you go.
- Thanks!
I wonder where they are today.
Damn! I'm a little jealous.
Oh, the farewell party!
Let's go hiking again and invite Goto.
Yes, let's!
Days like this should be spent
in the mountains, not at work.
You're right about that.
TAWARAYA INN
The lamp in the mountain hut
Burns with a faint glow
My beloved mountain hut
On a path in the foothills
I sit at the window of memories
And think of you
The wind murmurs
With a song of days long past
Ayako, you must be sleepy.
Not yet.
I'm sorry it's so crowded today.
What a racket.
School excursions are everywhere.
The inn in Nikko was packed!
Wasn't it?
Someone was always barging
into our room by mistake.
Really?
It must have been hard to relax.
But it was quite fun.
That's nice.
Excuse me.
Sir, a school teacher is waiting
at the front desk.
I'll be right there.
But this is good news.
Ayako finally found
a good husband,
and you're remarrying too.
Actually, it wasn't Ayako
I was worried about.
It was you.
Thank you for your concern.
Very good news indeed.
Well, time to say good night.
Good night.
Good night.
Shall we get to bed?
Ayako, aren't you coming?
It's gotten so quiet.
I guess the students
all went to bed.
School trips were such fun,
but I always hated the very last night.
It was a letdown
knowing we'd come to the end.
Did you ever feel that way?
Is something wrong?
Ayako...
remember when you said it would be
disgusting for me to remarry?
I don't feel that way now.
Forgive
