bad about that, as long as you can take the responsibility.
Of course I will.
Then it's OK, you don't have to obey your mother.
Really? I am reassured by your words.
You just worry about these trivialities.
I am not worried at all.
Then I'll make a phone call.
What's the matter? To where?
To your Setsuko.
Why?
Uncle
Hello?
What I said was all deceptive. It was a scheme.
Scheme?
I was just acting.
I'll inform Setsuko that Uncle has agreed with her marriage.
Hey, wait!
Hey!
You are back. I didn't notice at all.
But it's wonderful, really wonderful.
I was thinking, if Setsuko do as the daughter of Mikami
and left home, what to do with that?
It's wonderful. You're really a good father. Thank you.
What for?
Setsuko is also happy about this. Besides, even if you didn't permit...
Permit what?
The marriage with Taniguchi
I didn't say I agree.
But Lady Sachiko told me on the phone...
That was self-asserted by Sachiko
But.
There's just no way out.
Is that so?
It's enough if you can think that way.
What, what is enough?
The matter with Setsuko.
I won't be concerned with her matter any more.
I take no responsibility.
There's no need. Let them two take the burden.
Haven't you said so?
Who knows whether they are accountable.
But...
But what? Do you know the man that well?
When did you start to stick up for them?
Stick up?
What's that, then?
You saw that man once, and know whether he's good or not?
More than once. Mr. Taniguchi visited home after that time.
What? Why didn't you mention it?
You weren't in a good mood.
And Setsuko said I must act according to your mood.
Can you see through a man after two meets!
How can we explain to Mr. Takanashi?
Obviously, you have to go and reject him.
No, I won't go.
If you agree with her, you go and reject him.
I take no burden.
Then I'll do it.
Good, you go, you go.
I have nothing to do with this.
I'm so unhappy, so don't expect me to attend the wedding.
How can that be possible? There's only once.
You have to appear.
No, I won't.
Well, then I won't either.
It's just adequate that you go, now that you agree.
No, I won't go.
Whatever.
They two can always come up with something.
Always? How?
I don't know exactly.
It is you who agreed with the marriage. Won't that be too irresponsible?
You always say unaccountable words.
and you don't care what will happen in the future.
It isn't so simple.
But, you still...
What? Hey, what?
Well, I won't say more.
Try me.
Stop talking.
Hey!
Talk if you have something to say, will you?
You, being a father,
aren't happy about whatever inconsistent with your will.
About what?
Isn't it right? You are always like this.
So it is with Setsuko's marriage.
All your words are contradictory.
contradictory?
Yes.
You said you wouldn't be worried if Setsuko had a boyfriend, right?
And you said the same thing to Hisako sometime.
If it's true, you contradict yourself now.
Don't you feel strange yourself?
No, it's my affection for my children.
Is this contradiction?
Yes, it is.
If you have affections, you shouldn't say I'm irresponsible.
It's nothing but contradiction.
Anyone would have this contradiction.
He'll be God if he doesn't.
Life is full of contradictions.
It's the same with everyone.
So there're scholars saying "The aggregates of contradictions if life."
Aren't you the same? Full of contradictions?
I'm back.
I'm back.
Where is Sister?
Where is Setsuko?
Yes.
Where?
Because Mr. Taniguchi will set off for Hirosima tomorrow, so she went for help.
How can you know?
I thought you agreed, so Setsuko made the phone call.
Why did you let her go out?
Haven't I told you not to let her out?
So, Hisako went along.
But I came back in advance.
Why?
Because they're too passionate, I can't stand the view.
But, they weren't dallying.
They were brisk and neat, all is full of love.
Mr. Taniguchi is really a nice man, and a nice brother-in-law.
Father, don't worry any more.
It'
