't be here
Perhaps not
I'll act as though I came in...
...and met you by chance
- Where will you go?
- Over there
Isn't it better?
Isomura-san
Signal me if you like her
OK, I'll rub my nose
Here you go
Here
- Where's he going?
- Well...
What is the sign?
We were talking about baseball
Hello. Here
Welcome
- Sorry I'm late
- Never mind. Sit down
Do you want a drink?
No thanks
Later then
Please make yourself at home
Thank you for coming here
Not at all. What did you want?
I hadn't seen you for a while...
...and wondered how things were going
Hello
Oh, it's you, Kitagawa
It's been a long time
We last met at the Rokko Golf Link
- Please sit down
- No, no...
Please join us
For a little while then
Who's this?
My wife's niece
Oh, yes, I've heard about
the Kohayagawa family
I work at my friend's art gallery
I see, that's fine
This is my business card
I operate a small steel mill
I'm deeply obliged to him
Is that so
You have a nice job
Yes, it is, but...
Have you any paintings of an ox?
Pardon?
You know, an ox
I collect things concerning the ox
This is also an ox
I'd like to have a painting of an ox
A Japanese style painting, or...
Well? Shall I leave it to her?
Why not
I'll leave it to you
I'll look for one
Noriko maybe visiting me today
I'll telephone
- Where's the telephone?
- That way
- Well?
- OK, she's OK
That's fine
A big OK
You truly knew my taste.
She's the right age, too
Arrange everything, will you
Let's dine out later.
Anyway, let's have a drink
Excuse me
Is Gin Fizz all right?
Three Gin Fizzes, please
OK, OK. A big OK
That's wonderful
Let's toast to this occasion
A toast
I am home
- Hi
- Hi
I'm sorry to keep you waiting
I hurried home.
I turned down an invitation
Isn't this wrong? Think again
Isn't it like this?
Then this is wrong
Think hard
What is it? What did you want
to discuss with me?
They want me to have
a marriage interview
Again? How popular
It isn't like the last time
This time it's serious.
Even Sister urges me
Oh? Who is he?
A man whose father
is the president of a bank...
...but he works for a beer company
It sounds good
Don't treat it so lightly.
I'm perplexed
About what?
I haven't even considered
marriage yet
Perhaps not, but you can't evade it
Why not just meet the man?
But...
You can reject him
Neither Father nor Fumiko
will force you to marry him
I wonder
Of course
Business seems to be poor nowadays
Father wants me to marry the man
Is that so?
Oh, I must be leaving
Is it that late? It is
You can make it if you hurry
I'll come again
- Advise me again, Sister
- Come anytime
Oh, I bought some cakes
I'll have some next time
- Goodbye, Minoru
- Goodbye
You'd better hurry
I will. Goodbye
Take care
Goodbye
Okaden is finally merging
with Katsura Masamune Co
Is that so?
I've heard rumors, but who told you?
Do you know Kaneko who works there?
Yes, I know him
He mentioned it when I saw him
So, I treated him to drinks
to learn the details
Yes, he's here
It's your wife
All right
Have you got any response
from Yamagishi?
- Not yet
- Right
Hello
Yes, it's me
What is it?
My uncle's here from Osaka
Can you come home?
We'll be waiting
He'll return immediately
I see
How does the other party feel?
He saw her a few days ago
and is enthusiastic
Is that so. How about Akiko?
I haven't told her about it yet
You mean she had an interview
without knowing it?
That's right
How reckless
You think Akiko
might get to like him?
I think he's OK
What do you think?
Well, I hope Sister likes him
The only thing is that
he isn't a scholar...
...like her late husband
He runs a steel mill
That may not bother my sister
Yes, it's up to her
He's back
Welcome
How are you?
Hello, it's been a long time
Yanosuke proposes matrimony for Akiko
Is that so?
I personally think it's a good match
I see
It would be ideal...
...if both Noriko and Akiko
were engaged
Yes
