there. Watanabe?
Couldn't come
She's at this stage... big... 7 months
I didn't know she was married
She's not
Such things happen
Divine Providence, you know
That leaves you and Hirokawa
not married
When will you?
I won't
Go on. Get married
No
Since when do you talk about others?
I, with authority
You can't, you divorcee
I can. It's only one down
Next time a real home-run
Still going to bat?
Why not? Just struck out
I'm waiting for a good ball
Come on, get married
What's so funny? I'm serious
How about that bread now?
I'm starved
I'm hungry
Never mind
Then, I'll eat alone
I'd like some, actually
I'll make some
You have any jam?
Yes
Just a little bit?
But a lot, actually?
Bu-chan
Why don't you go play ball?
Been fighting again?
Bu-chan, are you mad?
It won't dry... at paint
What?
On my bat
Oh... you painted it red?
Yes
Paint splashed all over
Won't your mother get mad
She already is
Did she cry?
Who's cry
Get out. Leave me alone
Big talk for a cry-baby
I'm going to get you with this
Has she left?
Bo, but come on down
You can't go out today
This is Kiko
This is Mrs Miwa
I sometimes see you in Kamakura
Do forgive my staying so long
It's all right
Nori-chan, come here
Sit down there
Yes, Auntie?
Isn't it time you got married?
That again? forget it
I won't forget it. Sit down
I have a fine prospect
Won't you meet him?
Name is Satake, a graduate of
Tokyo University
good family
Now with Nitto Chemicals
His father was a director there
He's 34, just right for you
His office speaks highly of him
How about it?
He looks like that American
In that baseball picture...
Gary Cooper?
Yes... Cooper. Looks just like him!
Especially his mouth
But not the top half
How about it? Please meet him
He's a fine young man
Won't you?
I don't want to get married yet
Don't want to? Why not?
After all... if I marry
it would be difficult
For father!
I'm accustomed to him and don't mind
But he is a bit eccentric
If I left home, father would be lost
But you can't help that
I'm the only one who knows
what he needs
Leave him out of this
How about you?
I couldn't do that to him
Then, you can never get married
I don't care
Nori-chan, that Mrs. Miwa you just met...
How would she be?
What do you mean?
Your father will need someone
I was wondering if she would do
Come here, and sit down
She had a good husband
but he died, leaving her with no children
What do you think?
She's a sound woman with good taste
Does Father knows about this?
I did mention it to him
What did he say?
He sat as usual, but he didn't object
Then why ask my opinion?
After all, I needed to know your reaction
I've no objections if he hasn't
Welcome home
How'd it go with your aunt?
Nothing Special
The bath is ready. Want to bathe?
What did she want?
Anything wrong?
What is it?
Where are you going?
Shopping...
Oh, they're both out today
Left early this morning
To see a Noh play, that's what
they were saying
Really? Would you give this to them
when they return?
Yes, of course
With my thanks
Certainly! I'm sorry you missed them
Want more kinding?
Yes, but come look at this
Why, it's Hattori-san!
I thought he was marrying Miss Noriko
Me too
Amazing. It looks like him
And such a beautiful bride
The Noh was good today
Should we eat at Takigawa?
I have other plans
What kind?
Will you be late?
I don't know
Sorry I kept you waiting
I was making some short-cake
Put in too much vanilla but it's good
Come to my room
My, such cold hands!
Fumi, serve that cake in my room
What gave you the idea?
Tell me! What is it?
No special reason
Have some?
Is it very difficult?
What?
Stenography
Not too. After all, I manage
Come on, try some. It's good!
What made you decide to try?
What's on your mind?
Nothing in particular
You can't work for no reason!
I wouldn't have
if Ken had been halfway decent
But I must support myself
Go get yourself married
Save your
