really.
Yes, it is.
You must earn a lot.
- The pay's not bad.
- I see.
Are your parents
still bothering you?
- How do you mean?
- To remarry.
No, not for some time...
fortunately.
Once was enough?
What, marriage?
I wouldn't say that.
- What was his name?
- Who?
- Your ex-husband.
- Ah, Ken.
Yes, Kenkichi.
Do you ever see him?
Never.
- And if you did?
- I'd glare daggers at him.
- You hate him that much?
- I'd run away. I detest him.
Is that so?
- I'm home.
- Welcome back.
- What's wrong?
- My legs fell asleep.
Here for a visit, Aya?
I'm back.
- Welcome home.
- We had a little chat.
- You staying tonight? Let's go upstairs.
- Did you have dinner?
- I'm fine. You've eaten, right?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Why'd you miss our class reunion?
- Did a lot of people go?
About 15,
including Lady Tsubaki.
Was Professor Murase there,
foaming at the mouth as usual?
Yes. She spit all over the place.
Even in our tea.
Nobody sitting next to her
drank theirs.
I was at a safe distance.
Was she there, the one
who married right after graduation?
Ah, Ikegami?
Yes, she was.
She's a sly one.
She told Lady Tsubaki
she only has three children.
But she has four.
She fudged by one.
- Four already?
- Yes.
"Square-jaw Shinoda" was there too.
- Really?
She left her job
at the radio station to get married.
Really? To whom?
- A fusspot in the Mikawajima barracks.
- Really?
I'm just guessing,
but doesn't it fit?
- Some bread and tea.
- You shouldn't have.
Anything else you need?
- There's no sugar.
- You're right.
Don't bother. I'll get it.
I'll be turning in, then.
Good night, Aya.
Good night.
- Would you like some bread?
- A little later.
Did he forget the spoons too?
- Alas, he did.
Was Watanabe there?
Kuro-chan?
She couldn't make it.
Her tummy is this big.
Seven months along.
When did she get married?
She didn't.
That's horrible.
These things happen.
Everything is divine providence.
Only you and Hirokawa
haven't married yet.
Really?
When are you going
to get married?
I'm not going to.
Hurry up and get married.
- I don't want to.
- Get on with it.
Who are you to lecture me
about marriage?
I'm an authority
on the subject.
Authority?
You're a divorcйe.
So what?
I only have one "out. "
Next time I'll get a run.
Still stepping up to bat?
Why not?
I just struck out.
Next time I'll crack it
out of the park.
Come on.
Hurry up and get married.
What's so funny?
I'm serious.
How about that bread now?
That can wait.
I'm starving.
Never mind that.
Then I'll eat alone.
I'd like some too, actually.
I'll get it ready.
- You have any jam?
- Yes.
- Could you bring just a bit?
- You mean a lot... "actually"?
Yes.
Bu-chan.
Why don't you go play ball?
Did you get in a fight?
Bu-chan,
why are you so angry?
The paint won't dry.
What paint?
On my bat.
- You painted your bat red?
- Yeah.
There's paint all over the hallway.
Your mother will get angry.
- She already did.
- Did you cry?
No, I didn't!
Leave me alone, you nag.
Big talk for a crybaby.
What?
I'll get you with this.
Get out.
Crybaby.
- Noriko.
- Has your guest left?
She's on her way out.
Come down a minute.
Cut it out!
You're grounded today.
This is Mr. Somiya's daughter, Noriko.
This is Mrs. Miwa.
I see you often in Kamakura.
Do forgive my staying so long.
- Not at all.
- If you'll excuse me.
- Thank you for coming.
Nori-chan,
do you have a moment?
Have a seat.
What is it, Auntie?
Isn't it time you got married?
That again?
Leave it be, Auntie.
I will not leave it be.
Sit down.
I have a fine prospect.
Won't you meet him?
His name is Satake.
He studied science at Tokyo University.
He's from a good family.
He works at Nitto Chemicals.
