reject a proposition."
"Deep down in his heart, he is still
in love with my sister."
Why don't you marry me?
Please, marry me.
Please, do it.
I love you!
Tell me, will you marry me?
Please, marry me!
Marry me!
Say something!
- What's wrong with you?
- Marry me!
Why?
I hate Yoriko! I can't allow
her to have you!
It would be wonderful if you
could marry my sister!
You could give her love!
But you can't love Yoriko! I hate her!
Marry me! Marry Mariko!
Please!
You don't know what you're saying!
I do! I want to marry you!
Don't say that!
You'd hate yourself!
- I wouldn't! I wouldn't!
- Don't say that!
You'll leave me because I heard
what you said! Think about it!
You don't want to marry me!
What you're saying is childish,
Mariko!
Do you think I'm joking?
That I'm lying?
All right! All right!
I'll cry!
Mariko! Mariko!
Mariko!
The lady is coming.
Welcome to my house.
When did you come to Kobe?
- A few days ago.
- I'm glad to see you again.
Please, sit down.
You're as pretty as usual.
Have you come with your sister?
- No, just myself.
- Really? Welcome to Kobe.
I was just with Hiroshi.
- I proposed marriage.
- Proposed to whom?
- To Hiroshi.
- You?
Yes.
My sister loved him long ago.
I want to marry him for her.
You're a funny one.
What will your sister say?
She'll be pleased.
Really? Pleased?
You don't think so?
- I'd like to think so.
But I'm sure it won't
be that easy.
Then, convince him to marry me.
- I could do it.
- Please, do it. Promise me.
I'll do what I can.
Sure? Will you?
Yes. I'll try.
Seriously?
What do you see in Hiroshi?
Why do you like him?
Tell me.
- He's gentle and kind.
- Is that all?
He's also clean and rich.
Well. He's got a lot of virtues.
There's just one thing about
him that I don't like.
And what's that?
He's got a friend I don't like.
Is it that bad?
You know her very well.
Really?
Yes. She's a horrible person.
I hate her.
I hate her.
Water.
Here.
- And Mariko?
- She's gone out.
I have to go to the bar.
Do you need anything?
Did you sew the
shirt button?
How's the bar doing?
- What?
- The money problem.
It's solved.
Did you get financing?
How?
They lent me the money.
- Who?
- Mr. Tashiro.
- Was he here?
- Yes,  the other day.
- When?
- Twenty days ago.
Here you are.
How will you return it?
- In monthly installments.
- Installments?
- Yes, he gave me that option.
- Can you do it?
Yes, I'll manage.
Why didn't you tell me about it?
Why?
I don't know...
Why?
Because it was Tashiro?
No, it wasn't that.
Why, then?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you say anything?
Because you didn't want me to know?
It's not that.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why not?
I'm sorry.
Has he been here often?
No.
- Have you seen him often?
- No, just once.
Liar.
How could you ask for money?
- But...
- But what?
Don't lie to me.
Did Tashiro have any reason
to lend you money, then?
No reason at all.
He didn't have to do it.
He just wanted to help me solve
the problem, that's all.
And what do you know?
I know. Hiroshi is not the kind to
take advantage. He's kind.
He felt sorry for me.
Are you defending him?
Why do you say that?
Why? Do you by chance believe
I'm having an affair with him?
Do you believe I've
betrayed you?
Do you think Tashiro
and I are lovers?
Well, you're wrong!
Totally wrong!
I'm faithful to you!
I'm not doing anything
against you!
You have to believe me!
I would never dishonor
your name.
I'm sorry. I'll close the bar.
Who asked you to do that?
We don't need the bar to live.
I can work as a seamstress.
You're proud of supporting me,
aren't you?
No. My father said that we
could also sell this house.
I'll refuse Mr. Tashiro's help.
Do whatever you want.
You have a visitor.
Who is it?
Hello.
Welcome.
How are  you?
- I went out on an errand.
- Come in.
Did I surprise you?
I'm not in love with you anymore.
No?
It was just a performance
and you rejected
