good.
Anyway, give it some thought.
Goodbye.
You can sit down now.
Why did you have to say such a thing?
Now this doesn't taste as good.
Lend me a match.
- Did you go to Luna?
- Yeah, last night.
You better be careful.
The boss goes sometimes.
You saw him there?
Hello.
Miss Sasaki?
I'll talk to her.
Oh, Yukiko. You're in Tokyo again?
When did you arrive?
You want my advice?
What's this all about?
I'll drop in on the way home.
The usual place, right?
See you later.
You have a visitor.
Thank you for coming.
What's happened?
How's your mother?
It's about her.
What's wrong?
I can't stand it any longer.
What's the matter?
Did you have an argument?
Tell me about it.
She's too unreasonable.
That's why I came here.
What do you mean?
I've left home.
Without telling your mother?
You shouldn't have.
What did you quarrel about?
Mother won't listen to me at all.
What about?
I'll tell you everything.
Sure, go ahead.
As a matter of fact...
...I've fallen in love.
I see. And?
- Mother doesn't like it.
- Why?
My mother wants everything her way.
But this time, I couldn't give in.
I've made a promise
to this person already.
What's this person like?
I've known this person
for quite some time now.
My mother has decided that I should get
married to the pharmacist from Osaka.
They've been in business for a long time,
so they're wealthy, as she says.
So she makes the decision
and takes everything on herself.
She insists there's a fortune
to be made in Osaka.
Stop laughing and listen to me.
She tells Matsu to buy a lot
of fried bean curd...
...then tells me to take it
to the shrine for good luck.
What nonsense.
So did you go?
Why should I? It's so ridiculous.
Then what happened?
Mother was furious with me.
She said I was crazy for refusing
such a good man.
She also said that I wouldn't be
so lucky again.
She was terribly angry.
That's why I left home.
That's a lot of bean curd for the inn.
She must be eating it with Matsu.
And I bet the customers
are eating it too.
That's probably true. How funny.
What do you think?
Do I have to listen to what she tells me?
- Not in this case.
- I shouldn't, should I?
- My whole future is at stake.
- Exactly.
In that case, I will marry the man I love.
But is he a good man?
Then it should be fine, as long
as you can be responsible.
Of course.
Then do as you wish.
You don't have to listen to her.
You think so?
I'm so happy to hear that.
I didn't think you'd get confused
over such a thing.
I wasn't confused.
Well, I'm going to make a phone call.
To whom?
I'm calling your house to tell Setsuko.
What's this?
Sir.
I wasn't talking about myself.
It was a trick.
A ruse?
I was just acting.
I'm going to tell Setsuko
that you approve of her marriage.
Hold on!
Wait!
You're back. I didn't hear the door open.
I'm happy. I'm truly happy.
I wouldn't have known what to do
if Setsuko had run away...
...like Mr. Mikami's daughter.
I'm so happy.
You're a good father. Thank you.
For what?
Setsuko's happy too.
It's about time that you approved.
Approved what?
Her marriage with Taniguchi.
I haven't approved yet.
But Yukiko called and told us.
She did that on her own.
There's nothing I can do to stop it.
But it's good that you
at least think that way.
What do you mean?
About Setsuko.
I won't take the responsibility.
That's fine. She and Taniguchi will.
You heard her say so.
- How can I trust them?
- But...
But what? Do you know him well?
Since when are you on their side?
It's not about taking sides.
Yes, it is.
You only saw him once.
How do you know what kind of man he is?
It wasn't just once.
He came after that as well.
What? Why didn't you tell me?
You were in a bad mood
and said not to have Setsuko meet him.
You've only met him a few times.
You don't know him.
What about Takanashi?
You'll have to decline politely.
No, thanks. I'm not doing it.
If you agree with the marriage,
then you go
