attend the wedding
You must at least do that
No! I won't!
Then I'll stay away too
You can attend. You approve of it
I won't
Do as you like
They'll manage somehow
In what way?
How should I know?
That shows you're irresponsible
What you say is always irresponsible
You have to think carefully
Don't promise anything
if you can't make it
This is not right
What about you?
What's that? What do you mean?
Never mind
Say it
Forget it
If you want to say something, say it
You always want everything
your own way
Not the way you think!
You're being inconsistent
in regard to Setsuko
Inconsistent?
I heard you say you wouldn't worry
if Setsuko had a boy friend
She has... and now you disapprove
Isn't your attitude odd?
It's parental love
You call it an inconsistency?
I certainly do. If you love her
you'd take responsibility
It's inconsistent not to
Everyone's inconsistent then
except God
Life is full of inconsistencies
The sum total of inconsistencies is life
You're inconsistent throughout
I'm back!
I'm home!
Setsuko?
Where's Setsuko?
What's going on?
Did Setsuko go out? Where?
Taniguchi is leaving tomorrow
for Hiroshima
She helped to pack the luggage
How do you know that?
I thought you had consented
Setsuko phoned
I told you she wasn't to go out
Hisako went with her
I came back first, though
Why?
I felt like I was intruding
They're not being mushy
But they're very much in love
Taniguchi is nice
Like a big brother to me
Those two will make out fine
Father. Don't worry
The train departs at 6:30pm tomorrow
Sister and I will be there
Stop that! Turn it off!
Yes
Okay
When did you get here?
I came a while ago
I waited here for you
Been here since yesterday?
Yes
How's the game?
Not so good
Your wife came last night
Your daughter's getting married, eh?
My wife visited you?
Asked me to act as go-between
For whom?
At your daughter's wedding
I see
I hear you disapprove
Oh...yes
You're not attending the wedding?
I guess so
You needn't, of course
I'll handle it
It's not pleasant, seeing
your daughter go away
It isn't that
I heard about that too
but it has to be done
I'll do it properly
I won't attend
Don't then. You don't have to
I'll go ahead with it
I'm leaving now
It's all settled then. By the way
We're planning an alumni reunion
How should it be?
Of our high school class
I see
The graduates in Western Japan
will join us at Gamagori
Yes
Will you attend the reunion?
Shall I?
Sure. Why not?
Guess I'll go play a bit. Join me?
I want to rest. I feel tired
All right, then
Goodbye
Bring me beer
Right the way
Futaba Beauty Parlor?
This is Hirayama's House Hi-ra-ya-ma
Yes
that's right
Can you come one hour
earlier tomorrow?
The wedding starts
at 2p.m. 2 o'clock sharp
Understand? We're depending on you
I phoned the beauty parlor
They'll be here
Thank you. Have some
of the festive rice too
Thank you
Father's late. What's happened?
Probably busy
I told him this morning
to come home early
It's the eve of Setsuko's wedding
It's all right, Hisako
I don't see why he can't eat
with us tonight
Father's worrying in his own way
He's had an investigator secretly
check up on Taniguchi. I saw the report
Not eating that? Can I have it?
Sure
I haven't been able to do
very much for you
I'll send what you need later
I already have enough, Mother
Don't send any more
We'll be living in a very small place
Be it ever so humble
no place like home
You probably have lots to do
You can go upstairs
Excuse me
That Hakone outing was the last
I had hoped that there would be more
We could have gone if
Father had been willing to
Hisako
It's all right, Setsuko
Have Taniguchi take you
Isn't scenic Miyajima close by?
I'd like to go too
Visit us during summer
Can I? I'll go. I really will
You are welcome
Don't forget
Setsuko, you'd better go now
Alright. I go now
Mother, Setsuko was crying last night
I happened to wake up
When I
