later. I think it's about time. What do you say? Your aunt is very concerned. Well? But I... I want to stay with you. That's out of the question. Of course, it would make my life much easier. - Then why not? - Because it's not right. I've let you take care of me for too long. I didn't want to give you up. For that I owe you an apology. I'll be quite upset if you don't marry. But what will happen to you? I'll manage. - How? - One way or another. But I can't get married. Why? You'd never wash your shirts and collars. You wouldn't even shave in the morning. Oh, I'd shave. If I didn't clean your desk, nobody would. Remember when you tried to cook rice and burned it? You'd be eating burnt rice every day. You'd be helpless, I know. Well, what if I were to say that you needn't worry about any of that? What if somebody else looked after me? Somebody else? It's just a possibility. You intend to do what Mr. Onodera did? Take another wife? You'd marry again? That woman we saw today? It's definite? Really? Is that true? Father, leave me alone. Go back downstairs. You'll go, won't you? Day after tomorrow? We're all so worried about you. You will go, won't you? Do it for me. We'll have nice weather again tomorrow. So what did she say? She didn't say anything. But it's been a week since I introduced them. I have to give them an answer. I realize that. But pestering her could ruin everything. The other side is eager to proceed. I really don't see how Noriko could find fault with him. She likes him. I'm sure she does. Why did she go to Tokyo again today? You're not taking this seriously. I must have her answer today. When will she be back? - I don't know. Look, I found a change purse. What good luck! The wedding will come off. Aren't you turning it in? I will. But it's such a good omen. Let's go. What was he like? What type? Fat? - No. - So he was skinny? - No. Well, which was it? He says he played basketball in college. Is he good-looking? Tell me! My aunt thinks he looks like Gary Cooper. What more could you want? You've always liked Gary Cooper. I think he looks more like our electrician. Does your electrician look like Cooper? Yes... very much so. Then he must look like Cooper! Really now! I'll slap you! I'm impressed. You actually went and met him. He sounds good. What's there to think about? Go on, marry him. Good men are rare these days. Grab him. - But I don't like it. - What? Arranged marriage. Don't be picky. You'd never marry unless someone arranged it. - But - - It's true, isn't it? If you found someone you liked, would you walk up and propose? You're not that bold. You'd just blush and squirm in your seat. That's true. An arranged marriage suits someone like you. Mine wasn't arranged, and look what happened to me. Men are no good. They're devious. Before marriage they only show their good side, but once they have you, everything awful comes out. You never know what you're getting, even marrying for love. - You may be right. - I am right. Go ahead and marry. If he's no good, leave him. It's simple, I tell you. Anyway, marry him. Just smile at him sweetly. He'll definitely fall for you. Then you've got him pinned. - The things you say! That's how it is. You think I'm joking? - You just may be. - There! That's the smile to use. Just try it. I'm sure it'll work. Noriko's very late. Maybe I should come back another time. Wait a little. She'll be on the next train. If you say so. I hope she'll agree. She will. She likes him. You think so? She's shy. Old-fashioned for somebody her age. I guess so. - Maybe some detail is bothering her. - Like what? Like his name. Kumataro Satake? - Kumataro - "Bear Boy. " - What's wrong with it? It sounds tough. If anybody's old-fashioned, it's you. That wouldn't bother her.
