so...
...have Roku follow me!
How insulting!
You mistrust your own father!
I'm going!
Have someone follow me.
Find out where I go!
I'm going. Follow me.
See where I go!
You fools!
Will he be all right?
Don't worry. He has no money.
He'll walk around and return.
I see.
Then, it's all right.
It'll be good exercise.
You're in the way.
Mother, is he really my father?
Why?
Didn't I have another father...
...when I was a little girl?
I recall I used
to call him Father, too.
Did you?
Perhaps you did.
Who's my real father?
What difference does it make?
It's up to you.
Don't you know either?
It isn't that it matters.
It's a fact I was born.
I'm this big already.
That's right. Think of it that way.
-Hey...
-What?
Is my present father rich?
I imagine so. He owns a brewery.
I see. He hasn't bought
that mink stole yet.
Ask him again.
It's the way you ask.
I see.
I'll consider him as my father
when he buys that stole.
Yes, do that.
I'm here. Here I am again.
Well, hello.
-Hello, Father.
-Hi.
-Scrubbing the floor?
-Yes.
You're home today!
-Let me do it.
-You needn't.
Don't worry, I'm one of the family.
You must take off your tabi.
Yes, you're quite observant.
I forgot my wallet
and was embarrassed.
The tobacco shop lent me 1,000 yen.
Care for some iced dumplings?
I don't care about dumplings.
Buy that mink stole for me.
Yes, I'll buy it.
You're good at cleaning.
Hello. Good afternoon.
Hello.
I'm sorry about the other night.
No, no problem.
Have you found a painting of an ox?
I'm still looking for one.
Isn't he an amusing man?
Yes.
He's quite amusing.
Has Fumiko talked to youabout him?
Yes...
I see. How do you feel?
It's so sudden.
I would like to think it over.
Naturally.
Please think about it carefully.
Your father's worried about you.
I'm sorry. I worry everyone.
Not at all.
How about seeing him again
somewhere?
He would like to see you. Well?
He was really disappointed
you left us that night.
I heard your mother's memorial
service will be held at Arashiyama.
So it seems.
Will you go?
Arashiyama should be beautiful
at this time.
ARASHIY AMA
Hand me that.
-How about some?
-No thanks.
You don't drink much.
Beer fills me up quickly.
Moss grows unusually fast,
doesn't it, Brother.
Moss?
The gravestone was covered with moss.
Yes, so it was.
Moss grows faster than they describe.
Yes, time flies.
It's been six years
since Akiko became a widow.
Where's Akiko?
She left with Noriko.
I see.
The other party is keen about Akiko.
He has two children,
a girl and a boy.
He welcomes Akiko's child.
That's fine. How does it sound?
I think it's a good match...
...but it all depends
on how she feels.
Yes, but she can't wait forever.
Akiko has a long time to live yet.
She can't go on living by herself.
It's pitiful.
Yes, but...
How does Noriko feel?
She's already had her interview.
Have you asked her, Fumiko?
Yes, I asked her, but...
What did she say?
She's quite confused
She isn't definite.
I see.
She should decide right away.
I think...
...it's a fine match
So do l, but she says
we mustn't rush things.
It should be rushed,
don't you think?
Quicker the better, eh Brother?
Well, that would be ideal.
Too many of us are captains
of the boat.
We must consider her feelings.
Don't you have other business
in Kyoto, Father?
What?
-Want another?
-Thank you.
Akiko and Noriko are down there.
Is that right. And what did he do?
He ate everything that was offered...
...and later loosened his belt.
Such a big eater.
He must have been famished.
Perhaps...
...but when we took a stroll
after the hotel dinner...
You two were left alone?
Yes, they urged us to take a walk.
And what happened?
He asked me whether
I disliked western food.
His answer to the same question
was that he disliked it...
...after all he ate.
Such a funny man.
He sounds amusing. Then what?
When we reached a deserted spot,
he squeezed my hand
