"I'm Miwa Shuuzou's brother, thank you all to come here." "Living at countryside, even enter a wrong lane just now." "Haven't seen for long time, Mr.Hirayama, Mr.Taguti." "Haven't contact for long time, are you coming to Tokyo today?" "No, I have some other matter, came here yesterday." "You had taken care of my son last time." "Don't mention it." "What's the matter?" "This winter went to Haruna lake to skate with my buddy." "Had ever bothered you." "I have received your present this season, a lot thanks." "It's my pleasure, do you like it?" "That's pickles in spring." "Nothing rare." "It's a little regard." " Really a good present." " Is it the fern ate last time?" "That's wonderful."

"You have no permission to say this, you are late." "Thank you all." "Like Mr.Taguti's word." "Patter depend on the respect, not the time." "I have said to him like this." "Right?" "The monk's service is too circumspect." "Madam, is it because there's too much things deify the buddha?" "You falderal." "Today is fine, it's cool, wasn't the day held up funeral very hot?" "It was really hot that day, even a winter morning." "How old was Ayako then?" "18." " And now?" " 24." "It's time to marry, isn't it, madam?" "If there's good person, please advert some, thanks."

"Aya, you are ought to marry." "I feel too." "Aya, there's a good young man, should be 29, if not misremember." "He graduated from architectonics department of the University of Tokyo, works at "Darling Group", diverting." " It's a real good news." " I think he's very good." " Then, trouble you a lot." " OK." "Aya, it's time to go." "Sorry to leave ahead." " Oh?" "But..." " But, it's time to go." "Sorry to trouble you all today." "Really sorry." "Sorry, I said something discourteous."

"I'm fond in talking about the past." "Daughter is daughter." " Don't pretend any more, you are saying her mother." " Haven't change even a little." " Really beautiful." " Yes, really a nice girl." "But, Akiko is over 40." "I'll choose her mother, if possible." "It's really good..." " Is it true?" " Of course." "But man may die early, if married such a beautiful wife." "Miwa was unlucky, it came true so quick." "She became more attractive recently." "Right, you also feel it, isn't it?" "It's easy." "You're obtuse, no feel." "I can feel, but not so sensitive like you." "What made you so happy?" " Is there any wine?" " Yes." " Lady, is your husband well?" " He's fine, thank you." " I think so." " Of course, he would be longevous." "What's happiness on earth in the world?" "What do you think, madam?" " What are you tlaking about?" " Nothing." "When we were in college, there was a drugstore near Hongou Third Street." "Now a fruiterer, there was a beautiful girl." "This guy take a fancy to her, often went there, even no matter." "Don't laugh at me, you are the same, hadn't catch a cold." "And went to buy anodyne." "Even bought a "Fever's Friend"" "Was "ChengBiao"?" "The girl is exactly the woman left just now." "That madam, I even thought them as sisters, are they mother and daughter actually." "She's really beautyful, then, what's on?" " But." " Failed finally." "Poor." " Do you remember Miwa?" " Not very clearlly." "I remembered he had come once or more." "He married her one-up." "Who knew it would be better to buy "Imori"'s black barbecue than medicine." "We haven't that wisdom then." "Different from the youngster now, we were pure then." " Any wine left, Mr. Hirayama?" " Yes." " Would you bring me the soda pop?" " Ok, wait for me." "The husband would be longevous, married her." "What?" " Nothing, we're talking about our matter." "Where's the soda pop?" " I'm coming." "But, maybe die early, her body is so good..." "Athlete?" "Use wrestle?" "He would be overpowered, even lose breath." "Any more?" " You're back." " Back." "Early today." " I thought you would be back late." " Why?" "Didn't you stay with Mr.Mamiya and Hirayama together?" "And Akiko had come, with Ayako." "Really?" " What's this?" " It's Yoko's." " Come again?" " Arrived just now." " Has Nikko gone on errands?" " No." "The young couple seem to bickered again." "It seems difficult tosmoke the calumet together, living with mother- in- law." " Did she quarrel with her?" " No, she's fine." "But there would be unpleasant thing happen one day..." "It's better for Young people to live themselves." " I think so at the very beginning." " It's a big trouble." "She would stay for four or five days this time." "The baggage is more than before, are they alright ?" "It's a big trouble if they be two." "Weren't you like this then?" "It's not wrong, consort always become harmonious slowly." "Yes, it would be alright if Yoko keep her temper a little." "Yes, it's boring if always like that." "Right, it would be on end if blame each other." "Would you like to have a bowl of dunk rice?" "No, I've sticked to my rib." " Papa has come back." " What's wrong?" " We bickered again." "What does you mean by "again"?" "You are always quarrelling." "What's the reason?" "Couldn't explain it simply, just some dissatisfaction in living." "It's your own desire to marry him, even now you have any dissatisfaction." "Yes, that's why we quarrel more damnably." " For what?" "Dad, don't ask anymore, I decide to punish him a bit." "Punish?" "It's you ought to be punished, or you will be always capricious like this." "It's enough, papa." "Go to bathe, let me make the water hotter." "Really a big trouble." "...that... what does his name?" "Who?" "The man works at Darling Group..." "Your friends' brother." " You are saying Shigeru, he's living at Igami." " Yes, it's him." "It's said his father owned a paper factory." "Right, what's the matter?" "I think he's not bad, to be Ayako's husband." " No, he has already a girlfriend." " Already has?" "Yes, I'm wondering what to give them as a present." "I even want to introduce a girl to him." "I has promised to her." "Promised what?" "I'm thinking he's good, now there's a trouble." "And there's any other good young man." "How about that who called Ikeda?" "That man?" "No, no good." "Then he's out, is there any more?" "You don't worry about your own daughter, but others." "But Ayako is really beautiful, I don't hope her marriage cursory." "You are right." "What a nice girl, how about compare with Akiko when she was young?" "They have different character." "Mamiya those said Akiko is better." " Then what do you think?" " Me?" "If let you choose, you would choose Akiko, will you?" "I have known that." "What do you know?" "Hongou 3rd street, you always bought medicine there, didn't you?" "Humorous." "It's not me, but Mamiya." " Then what about you?" " Ionly went there to bought medicine." "Lie, I remember, it's you." " Who said?" " You." "Did I say this to you?" "When?" "When Yoko was born, you were in drink then." "Did I say that?" "So, I'm honest." "Yes, honester than now." "Dad, the water has been prepared for some time." " Yes, have you turned off the gas?" " Still lighted." "You must turn it off." "Go and have a good bath." " No any else?" " Your guys are so boring." "Come in." "Please come in." "Thank you very much that day." "Since you are so busy..." "It's nothing." "Sit down please." " I'm come here to visit you." " Really thanks, sit down please." "I have went to Mr. Hirayama and Taguti's house by the way." "Really sorry." "Has Taguti said to you something about Ayako?" "He has, it's said it has been decided." "The other side?" " Yes." "The guy haven't changed even a little at all times." "Miwa always complain him, never come on time." "But I'm late last time." "But you all come here, Miwa would be glad." " Have you had lunch, madam?" " Could I?" "Bring you to have lunch, but there's nothing good to eat..." " But at 2 o'clock I'll have..." " What?" "I'm helping at my friends' recent, at the costume institute." " Working at some French embroidery." " Are you the teacher?" "Yes, but not very good at it." "It should be hard, never mind, I'll drive you there." "Are you going?" "I go...arrange the car." "Did you notice?" "The man greeted me at the elevator right now." "What's the matter?" "The one who is shorter a bit than me, lill his hair." "I really didn't notice him." "He isn't remarkable, too." "He's a good man." "When last time talking about Ayako." "I bethinked him immediately." "Taguti has promised to deal with it, so..." "Taguti is really funny." "He's so funny that matter would be funny too if he jamed it." "It's not bad, such a guy." "I can't remember where he graduated from." "It's already four or five years since he came in my corporation." "Though seems not strapping." "He has been a basketball coach..." "How about him?" "Feels good." "Would I arrange a date?" "It's better to see about a picture or record..." "I think so." "Kept you waiting for long." "Sorry." " I'll bring it to you some day." " Thanks a lot." "Could you give me a photo of Ayako?" "Ok." "Are you always use pipe, Mr. Mamiya?" "Yes, I used to." "Miwa was also fond of it, there're still some now." " You can take them if don't mind." " It's great." "But I don't know whether they are good enough." "And some are bought from U.K. by Miwa." "That must be very good, he was interest in it very much then." " Then just go and take it." " Please help yourself, madam." " I'll take my ease, then." " Please." "Coming." "Be care, papa." " I feel it's good." " What?" "Goto is a good man." "Really?" "He is good, if that was me, I would marry him right now." " Where did he graduate from?" " WASEDA UNIVERSITY, major in plutonomy." " And his hometown?" " Hushimi, his home brew wine." "So boring, could you shut up?" " Go away." " Why?" "Quick." "And Shouhin you also go upstairs, quick." "Goto is the best, isn't it?" "I think so, too." "Date with him some day, ask for a photo and record." "It's nice." "But if Ayako married, then..." "What about Akiko?" "She would be alone." "There always has a way, it wouldn't be ok if we don't consider this." " Is Akiko as beautiful as before?" " Yes, very beautiful." "But I like Ayako more, she's pure." "Oh?" "But, Taguti the guys like Akiko more." "And you are." " Who?" " Akiko." "Joke, it's not me, but Taguti." "He had liked her long ago." "Really?" "Hadn't you liked her before?" " I hadn't." " Then what medicine did you buy?" " What?" " Medicine." " Who?" " You." "Rubber or anodyne?" "What are you saying?" "Was that Taguti said?" "I know why you always don't catch a cold." "Even the anodyne's effect go on now." "I'm back." "So you are back." "Mum, have you had dinner?" "Mr. Ron has invited me, already." " I'm waiting for you..." " Really?" "I bought some dim sum by the way." " Will you eat now?" " I?" "For a moment." "I'm tired today." " The matter Taguti said last time, it's over." " Really?" "Why?" " It's said the man has had a girl friend." " Hum, he's always like that." "...but, there's another." "Another?" "I feel like a girl to sell out." "Who's the man this time?" "Mr. Mamiya, sounds good, in he's corporation." "I see." "He would bring us the photo soon." "I go to prepare hot water for you." "Mr. Mamiya said the young man is quite good." "He said he wanted tell us last time." " Mum." " What?" " Could you reject it?" " Why?" "We would be passive, if take his photo." "And don't give my photo to him." " Black tea?" " Alright." " Do you have some one be loved?" " Not yet." "Then why not consider him?" "We all think of your marriage." "You can't refuse." "I know, but let me alone." "But..." "Enough, I don't want to marry now." "What are you thinking?" "Listen to me." "What?" " What's on earth?" " What?" "Didn't you have some one be loved?" "I would tell mum if there's anyone."

"But Ayako...she said she don't wanna marry yet." " But..." " Any way he is not suitable." "But, he's from a good family." "It's more important the man himself than the family, didn't we talk about it last night?" "But, what a pity." "It's not a pity, has failed at the beginning." "No, no." "Last time, Ayako has also rejeced the man Miwa's friend introduced." " Why?" " She said she didn't wanna yet." "Really?" "Aren't you unwilling?" "No." "But she's ought to marry." "It won't be better if she be delayed." " What's the matter?" " The call from Miwa." " Call?" "Switch it in." " Yes." " Sorry." " Please." "Hello, is that Ayako?" "Yes, I am." "I'll go, when?" "Ok, no problem." "Then we'll meet at the corner of Wako." "Mr. Ishii has bought the map, though his vacation hasn't be permitted." " Why?" " That officer always troubles a lot."

"She's the miss who rejected you." "Really?" "Ayako, he's the man I said." "Call me Goto, sorry to leave." " Uncle, you are boring." " What?" " It's a shame, for your words." " Have I made a mistake?" " But..." " But what?" "Would you consider it?" "No." "It's said you are working at Toko hong." " Yes." "There's a man called Sugiyama in your corporation, please send my regards to him." "Ok." "Then, I'll go first." "You are waiting for so long time." " I'm so full." " Isn't there still some beer?"

" Shall we saving for a trip?" " Where?" "Buy the travel tickets to go anywhere." "Or visit uncle at Ikaho." "Good idea." "There wouldn'e be a chance if you married." "Mum, you always chatter about this, are you true?" "But you will marry at last." "No, I won't marry." "But, mum, if I got a man love, what would you do?" "What?" "Would you feel lonely?"

"I haven't..." "What are you saying?" "Well, you'd better control your husband." "Why reject him?" "Could I arrange it for you?" "Thanks, I could manage myself." "It's the time." "There must be many couples in the train." "Today is a lucky day." "Are they sitting face to face or abreast?" "They would got along with each other." "Aha, they are coming." "She has said he would wave us with a bunch of flower by the window." "Did she forget it?" "She can't forgot it, has said many times." "Then she must be shy." "But they ought to invite us to the wedding today." "Maybe they forgot..." "That's marriage." "All we would be distant little by little." "That's boring, would man become like that?" "I don't know..." "If our friendship disappeared because of the marriage." "It's a pity, isn't it?" "Yes..." "Sorry to kept you waiting." "Hope it would be a fine day tomorrow." " That's it." " Thanks for coming." "Welcome." "Welcome." " Give me a cup of water, and another coffee." " Ok." "It's so lucky to meet you here." " Where have you gone, Ayako?" " To the cinema." " How's it?" "Sit down please." " Alright." " But..." " Did you go with him?" " But..." " Any where would you go?" "No, I must go home, then I'm leaving now, sorry." "Ayako, would you mind go with me together?" "Never mind." " So, sit down please." " Alright." "Here's your water." " Would you drink something?" " No, thanks, I'm full." "What about it?" " What?" " About Goto." "I met him for the first time today, introduced by another man." "I'm the introducer originally." " But..." " But what?" "A man named Sugiyama." "He's in my corporation, also a friend of Goto, So..." "Forget him." "How do you plan on earth?" " Plan for what?" " Goto." " I just met Mr.Goto the first time today..." " You have said this just now." "Uncle, you are boring, always badinage." "Not joke, I'm serious." "How do you think of him?" " I don't know." " Don't know?" "Really?" "No is no, well, it's a difficult problem." "But, for example, his moral quality is good." "That would be easy if you were satisfactory." " What?" " Marriage." " I won't." " Really won't." "But, for example, if I have a man be loved." "It's also possible that I can't marry him, due to some situation." "What're they?" "Economic problem?" " It's one of them." "Then others?" "Like me, live together with mother..." "Because of this, you..." "Would you be alone anyway?" " Never mind." " How can you don't marry?" "Uncle, I..." "I divide like and marriage." "What's the meaning?" "Do you mean that have a love by not marriage?" " No, no." "I'm serious." " Sorry." "But if plus love and marriage together, It's not a good sign." "I won't feel sad if not married." "But feel happy even if this situation." "Isn't there many sequel like this?" "Really?" "But, won't you feel sorrow?" "I won't." "Different from your age." "Though... it's right." "I feel happy with mother." "I would rather live this way." "You love your mother so much." "Really?" "But we often quarrel with each other." "That's the proof of love." "I'm telling the truth." " Is it?" " Yes, I think so." "Really a good mother, you are a good daughter, too." "Your young people have a good sense." "Though some alternative." " But it could be understood, too." " What?" "Divide love from marriage." "So it become less and less kind." "And what's more?" "Have Ayako come to like that man?" "I think so." "Though she said it was their first meet again and again." "Let they be." "Then, it's nothing to do with the man named Sugiyama." " The problem concern on her mother." " Yes." " What about it?" " What?" " Marry her mother first." " Marry again?" "Yes, then marry her daughter." "Would it be Ok?" "It depends on the persuade." "Maybe a good idea." "If success." "There must be no problem." "Akiko is so beautiful, whoever want marry her." "Then you go to ask her about it." " I..." " Of course, it's your idea." "You're the best." "Then, have a try." " Alright." " Yes." "But, where's the man?" "How about Hirayama?" "I?" "Yes, maybe a good idea, too." "Don't joke any more." "It's immoral." "Anyway, She's the wife of my good friend Miwa." "Nothing serious." "No, no way, it's immoral." "It's natural, you are bereft of your wife, and she her husband." "Though it's the fact, but I don't want to do like this." "What are you saying!" "Well, that'a difficulty." "Pay attention to it." "Alright." "Don't mention me, do you hear?" "What a pity." "What are you thinking, still a bachelor now." "We are consider for you." "Yes, we're good- will." " You are back." "I'm back" " Back." " You are here, too." " Have you had dinner, sir?" " Yes." "And you?" "Me too." "Oh." "What about the score?" "Fairish." "What's the matter?" "What?" "You seem downhearted." " What happened?" " Nothing serious." " What do you think?" " What?" "I have declined a betrothal." " For me?" " No, for papa." "Who's that?" "What do you think?" "You must tell me who's that first, before I tell my feeling." "Do I know her?" "Who?" "Tell me." "Don't disguise any more." "I haven't disguise." " Then tell me." "Hmm..." "You know auntie Miwa?" "It's her." "It's would be Ok." "You are great." " Could I?" " Why not?" "Have you declined it?" "What a pity." " Really?" " Sure." " Do you agree?" " Of course." "Papa, I...hoped papa marry again long before." "Why?" "Since I will marry one day, then you would be alone." "Then you have to came to my house..." "My wife would feel poor." "Wretch!" "And you also won't like to live like that." "So, you'd better marry auntie Miwa." " Isn't it a good chance?" " Is it?" " But, how about her will?" " Don't know yet." "Oh?" "don't know yet?" "You need some confidence, confidence." " Are you agree?" " Yes, I agree." "Really?" "..." "Papa looks spry now." "Please come in." "What's the matter?" "I..." "The weather is fine today." "It's continual fine." "I remeber, there was a earthquake last night." "Really?" "I didn't feel it." " Yes, it has, but very slightly." "What's the matter today?" " About the matter last time." " What?" " About the obtain employment of the students?" "No, in the club." " What's it?" " About the deuterogamy of Miwa." "Do you find any good man?" "I considered carefully." " What?" " I..." "What you suggestted then, my son agreed, too." " What's that?" " Don't opossum any more." " I really don't know." " Don't pretend." "Have Taguti said this to her?" "I don't know." "But did you have absolutely no will about this then?" "Yes, but..." "There're many trouble alone." "Trouble?" "There's nurserymaid." "But..." "Do you mean loneness in emotion?" "Yes." "Do you feel lonely suddenly?" "Maybe." "Then..." "What can we do?" "I mean you show my colors to her." "Isn't it better that let Taguti do it?" "That guy is mouthy." " Would you like do this for me?" " Me?" " Yes, sorry to bother you." " Well..." "Could I speak to Mr.Taguti of NITTO ELECTRIC ?" " Is him suitable?" "Never mind, we agreed that he manage it last time." " But I'm afraid he make it..." " Make it a trouble?" "Hmm, what?" "he's away?" "He's away." " I'll tell him." " Please be quick." "Are you so agog?" "What a shame- making." " Where would you go?" " To the toilet." "Welcome." "Welcome." "Where's Hirayama?" "He hasn't come yet." "Have you managed it?" " What's the matter?" " It became complex." "Give me a cup of whiskey, water added." "Ok." " Give me one more this." "OK." "What's the matter?" "She has no will to marry again." "She talked about her dead husband from soup to nuts." "Then what about Ayako and Goto?" " I've said it." " What's the result?" " She always said "Really?", with smiling." " Then what about Hirayama?" "Could I say that?" "I seemed like came to listen the story of Miwa." "Like a class." " You didn't say anything about Hirayama?" " Yes..." "Sorry to kept you waiting." "But, Hirayama is serious." "It would be a pity to marry her to Hirayama, so beautiful." "You didn't see her face." "Oh?" "It's so charming that..." "She husked an apple for me, use her white and tender hands..." " Did you eat?" " It's really a good taste." "And bring this back." " What did you go for?" " What?" " Then how about Hirayama?" " I have no way, either." " But he's very agog." " But what can I do?" "We have no means to help him..." " Then lay it aside." " Yes, we could only do this." " Welcome." "He's coming." "I'm late." "Something to Drink?" " Anything would be ok." " Well." "And here." " Taguti, have you gone?" " Yes." " Did you say?" " Yes." " How about?" " Be patient." "It's no use to be agog." "Well." "Mr.Hirayama is so poor." "Yes..." "They envy him." "Boring." "You are better." "Mine are always asking." ""Would you marry again if I died."" "I said no." "But he said "If it was me, I will..."" "I asked who is that." "He said "Of course Akiko"..." " Really?" "Mine are the same." " How beautiful she is." "Envious?" "Akiko was asked about deuterogamy suddenly." "She couldn't answer it immediately." "I couldn't either, if it was me." "I'm the same." "Even though I have some will..." " Right, they are foolish." " Yes." " Mum, I' going out." " Is it a date, Miss Mitiko?" "Yes, from evening to midnight." " I'm going." " Be care." " Youngers now are worrying." " And mine too." "Our time is better, we even long for a maiden opera..." "Yes, and "when lilac bloom"" "Now there're some crazy rockmusic, jamboree." "It's fashion to dress motley." "Hmm." " Good afternoon." " Welcome." "We are talking about the marriage of Madam Miwa's daughter." "It's better to introduce a good man to Ayako." "I think there's no need to worry about Akiko's deuterogamy." "It's your husband's suggest." "Really?" "But he said it was Mr.Mamiya you." "No, it's Taguti." " Who's it on earth?" " It's Taguti, of course." "But it's said Akiko is beautiful." "He said like this?" "Fulsome, unexpected." "Then I'll eat the apple." "Yes." " It is said a delicious." " Bagar." "Anyway, first to solve Ayako¡¯s matter." "I obay you all." " Of course." " Right." "I can't persuade you." "Welcome." "Is there a sir named Mr.Mamiya..." "He's waiting for you." "Here, Ayako." "Come up." "I'm late." " Did you find here soon?" " Yes." "Have the seat, please." "Talk freely." "There's no much time left, I'll say about the major topic." "About you marriage, what about Goto?" "What?" "Are you like him, or dislike?" "Tell me." "No distaste." "Then you like him, he said so, too." "Well, go on with him, will you?" " But, uncle..." " What?" "I haven't considered the marriage." "You said so last time." "So, I can't answer you now." "It's nice, isn't it?" "Even marry to him is OK." "But, what about my mother, if I married?" "Your mother." "We're worrying about this, we won't let her feel trouble." "What's the meaning?" "For example, your mother marry again, what do you think about it?" "Marry again, have you talk about it with my mother?" "What about it?" "Sorry to kept you waiting." "What's wrong?" "Suddenly became sorrow." "Have it decided?" " What, your mother's marriage?" " Who's that?" "Him?" "You and your mother both know him before." "How do you think about Hirayama..." "Mr.Hirayama." "How about?" "Haven't decided yet." "What do you think about?" "Back, are you hungry?" "There's nothing to eat today." "I planned to buy something back, but I'm late, too." "What happened?" "What's the matter?" "Today I met a friend which haven't seen long before, in the trolley." "Did you remember?" "The auntie always came to us for rice, after the war." "She's wearing so neat, even like a rich madam." "Mum." " Have mum ever disguise something from me?" " What?" "Uncle Mamiya has told me the whole thing today." "What did you hear." " Mum, do you want marry again?" " What?" "Marry again?" " Don't disguise any more." " What's your meaning?" " I know!" " What do you know?" "What's up?" "What are you saying on earth?" "Don't disguise any more." "Don't you feel sorry to papa?" "Isn't Hirayama papa's friend?" "Then what?" "You are still disguise, why do you keep it from me?" "Disguise what?" "Well, well, I have assumed you too better." " I hate this!" " What are you saying, Ayako?" "Filthy, I hate people like this." "Ayako, where are you going?" "Let me go!" "I dislike you." "You are waiting for so long time." " Give me some cuttlefish." " How about the miss?" " I want this." " OK." "Welcome." "Welcome." " I come to see Yuriko..." " She's in." "Yuri..." "Yuri" " Miss Miwa is coming!" " I'm coming." "Please wait, she's upstairs." "Come up, but it's disordered." "Please." "Sorry to let you wait." " Anything else you want, sir?" " Give me the soy." "You are so fond of calm, sir." "Calm is delicious." "Calm is the worm's poison." "How about some octopus?" "Have the octopus born up?" "I want some clam, the softest part, it's necessary..." " And red shellfish." " OK." "And what did you say for that?" "I hate it, especially he's my father's friend." "So awkward." "And that's why you come out?" "But, is it awkward?" "Hmm, then this is your reason?" "I have always been troubled by the matter of Father's." "While Mama seems to have forgotten all about it." "I won't forgive that." "I understand that, but don't you think you're a little selfish?" "What?" " You need to think for Mama." " What do you mean?" "She is also a woman like you are." "What?" "You have your own lover, then why can't she?" "Aren't you selfish?" "If it was me, I would keep silent." "How can I?" "Nothing serious." "She's still you mother." "Anyway, it is not your business." "No, it is not the case." "I didn't act like you when my stepmother came." "That didn't mean that I had forgotten my dead mother." "Even now, I will think of Mother when I close my eyes." "My father is trashy, but why should I care about this?" "He is still my father." " But I don't think so." " You haven't another way." "You can't expect everything to be perfect in this world." "What are you saying?" "Acting like a kid." " Yuri, this..." " Thank you." "Then what about you?" "Why not have a little?" "Come on, come here." "I gonna go home." "Go home?" "Didn't you plan to stay here tonight?" "No, I'm going home." "Ok, then take this before leaving." "No, thanks." "Are you really going home?" "Then go as you like." "Just like a kid." "Nothing serious." "Where is she?" "Just leave without a word, so worrying a girl." "Where have you been?" "What are you annoyed for?" "You must have made a mistake." "What did you learn from Mr. Mamiya?" "What do you think I am keeping from you?" "No need to do that, isn't it?" "It is you who is doing this." "What didn't I tell you?" "About Goto, you are keeping it from me." "You've already got a lover, and I have been waiting for you to tell me." "Seems a good man." "I have been happy about this." "Why didn't you tell me?" " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." "And what about that?" "Did you talk with your mother last night?" "Are you still in anger?" "Ok, go on, to death!" "Keep on like that, today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow..." "Thank you." "Sorry." " Welcome." " Welcome." "You can't be like this." "How can you quarrel with her?" "I lost my mother in my early years, maybe it is the reason." "Sometimes I think about those moments, why should I quarrel with her then?" "I feel so sorry when I think about this." "In my home Hushimi, we have a kind of cloth doll made of clay." "We put them in the cabinet of the kitchen." "Then what?" "It was when I was a third grade student in the middle school." "I was losing temper now and then." "I broke all those dolls that time." "I still remember how Mother looked like at that moment." "It was just nothing serious," "but I found she didn't prepare the dinner that day when I got home." "She died that autumn." "So..." "So you'd better not quarell, it doesn't sound good." "You mean it." "Who?" "Good evning." "It's you, welcome." " Where's Ayako?" " Hasn't been back yet." " Come on." " Ok." " Make that." " Ok." " Aunty, where do you think Ayako has been?" " I don't know..." "I heard something last night." "So she has been to your place last night?" "Yes, and it is said that you are going to get married?" "Why ask about this?" "I told her that," "It is silly to get annoyed on this." "You should have your own choice." "It is true." "She has been so silly." "She just thinks about herself but blames you of that." "I have been talking so much to her about this that she even didn't talk to me in the company." "So." "I came here." "Tell us the truth, Aunty, I think she is wrong." "Why?" "I would hope that you marry somebody if I was her." "Then, why?" "You won't be lonely after you get married, though I am not sure about it." " Maybe you are right." " So it is, it is natural to think this way." "No one but she would be like this, so silly." "And, have I troubled you?" "Of course not, just a little surprise." "I am sorry, but does Aunty feel lonely sometimes?" "I can't do anything even it is the case." "I'll do anything if she could be happy." "I am deeply moved." "But, Aunty, you must get married." "Or, Ayako won't do it either." " Is it true?" " Yes, she said so." "Yes." "If you get married, I think she will also do that." " She's bothersome." " So she is." "But what is she unsatisfied for?" "Isn't it perfect?" "What?" "Mr. Hirayama is a college professor, moreover, he is Uncle's old friend, he knows you better." "Isn't it good?" " But, Yuri, didn't you make a mistake?" " No, that sounds good." "What's good?" "You're wrong either." "Doesn't Aunty know the matter about Mr. Hirayama." "Don't pretend, Aunty needn't be so shy." "What?" "I know nothing about that." "Really?" "How could this happen?" "So, you didn't know this?" "I definitely never heard about that." "So, it is too silly." " So, you didn't know anything about it?" " Yes." "If it is the case, she's so annoying." "You're back, and where have you been?" "Are you still angery?" "It is so ridiculous, since I am worrying about you." "You're having a finger in my pie!" "It is time you went back." "Ok, I'm going." "What if she stay here tonight." "No, Mama, I won't sleep together with her." " Ayako." " It's enough." "She have to go." "I'm going back." "And good night, Aunty." " So?" "I'm sorry." " Never mind it." "Nothing serious." " Bye." " Bye." " Sorry." " It doesn't matter." "She's so self- will." "Come in." "It's Mr.Hirayama." "What's wrong?" "Yes, it is strange." " What's strange?" " How can I explain it to you?" "What?" " Anyway, can you help me to meet somebody?" " Who?" "She's waiting for you in the meeting room." "And Taguti has also come." "Who is it?" "Who on earth?" "What's on earth is the matter?" "This one, she's a friend of Ayako." " My name is Sasaki Yuriko." " I'm Mamiya, please sit down." "Please." "Why should you say something that doesn't exist at all?" " What?" " The words about Aunty Miwa's marriage." "Yes, it's that." "How can you be surprised?" "Even Aunty herself doesn't know this." "But you just said it to Ayako." "Why should you do this?" "Ayako has been suffering from this." "Why should you bother such a peaceful family?" "I have come for this, please give me an answer." "Can't you?" "What's interesting about that?" " I didn't mean that." " Then why?" "Then you're Ms.Yuriko?" "Sit down first." " No need, thanks, it's more relaxed to stand." " But..." " Sit down please." " No." "It's good that you've got a meeting room." "Or I would have thought that I am in a college." " But, Ms.Yuri." " Please call me Yuriko." "I am sorry." " I have explained this matter." " I am not asking you." "Yes." "But Ms.Yuriko, do you have some negative points of view on Aunty Miwa's marrige?" "No, I don't." "But it doesn't get in involved with your matter." "Yes, it surely does." "Ayako has always been like this." "It seems that she won't get married until her mother does." "Then why not say it clearly?" "Aunty knows the matter about this uncle, doesn't she?" "I just heard this from the lady." "Then what on earth is the whole matter?" "Didn't you explain it for me?" "You keep silent first." " But..." " Don't speak." "You've made a mistake on the person you need to talk to." "But for the bliss of Ayako," "Aunty must get married first." "Can you understand this?" "Yes, but why should you choose this way?" "I'm so sorry for what has happened." "I apologize." "I apologize to you, too." " Please sit down." " Please." "Now we must firstly make sure if Aunty herself wants to marry somebody." "Sure she does, I've asked her about this." " Does she?" " Yes." "Oh, that's quite good." "Ms.Yuriko has helped a lot." "Firstly, we will solve Aunty's problem, then Ayako's, ok?" " That's ok." " Ok, good." " Just take a look at yourself, you're full of energy now." " Then what?" "But are you sure this uncle is the one Aunty loves?" "No, it isn't absolutely." "Why, any problem?" " Nothing, I don't think there's any problem." " Don't you?" " It is good." " Is it?" "So, Hirayama, you're so appreciated." " Then you owe us a big meal." " It's fine, it's fine." " Where are you going?" " W.C." "Thanks for coming." "Welcome." "Welcome." "A bit far, is your home here?" " Yes, please serve us hot ones." " Ok." "The most fleshy and fresh mackerel pike is in a shop at the parking lot." "It is not as good as you say." "Isn't the boss in today?" " He happened to go out." " Yes, and what about miss?" "She..." "The daughter here is most pretty." "How I hope you guys could see her." "Yuri, is it proper for you to come here but not go home?" "Take it easy, I can go home myself." "And it is you who have to take care." "What would you like to have?" " Where's wine, I want to drin." " Just a moment." "And what would you two like to eat?" "Which is better here?" "Everything is good." "Is it?" "Then serve us all of them." " Ok." " We can't eat up all of them." "Yes we can." "They are delicious." "So do as I told you." "Ok." "Hirayama, I will try my best to persuade Aunty Miwa." "And, can you really treat her with your heart?" "Yes, I will." " From now on?" "I mean forever." " Yes, I can." " You look so happy." " It is destined." "Sorry for the delay, here is the hot ones." "However, Hirayama, it is so exciting, is isn't?" "Thank you so much." "I am so grateful for our friendship." "The final decision hasn't been made yet." " Don's say that again." " Sorry, I am late." "But, will you love Aunty forever, I mean it." "Yes I will." " Really, I mean forever." " Yes." "This uncle is so wonderful, please leave him here." "Such a happy guy." " Welcome." " You are back." " It is so late." " Yes." " Yuri, it seems that you often come here." " Yes." " Now and then?" " Yes, everyday." "Everyday?" " Yuri, do you still need to go to work today?" " Yes, from this afternoon." " Mr. Sugiyama just called." " What did he say?" "He didn't say anything since you were not here." "Is this your home?" "Yes, the woman was my mother." "And I am the daughter." "It is so amazing." "Help yourself, Uncle, but you still have to pay for what you ate." "Of course I will." " Serve everything as you can, as well as wine." " Ok." "The ladies now are so elusory." " They are so canny." "Please serve me sashimi." " Ok." " I'd like clam too." " Ok." " But Uncle, I am not joking." " I also mean it, I will love her." "Not this matter, I mean that you have to pay." "I will." "Sure I will." " Please give me red shellfish." " Ok." " So it is why Miwa asked for a holiday." " It is said that he has gone travelling." "It is so good that they are together again." "At the first, Ayako was troubled by this matter, but now she seems to recover from this." "This has made me think of the kindness of one's own mother." "Isn't your family beatific?" "She is a qualified mother." "So she is." "But there's still something different." "I haven't been frankly to her till now." "Is it the case?" "Can't you find this?" "That means I have behaved properly." " I am throwing it to you." " Thank you." "Where has Ayako gone today?" "I am a little envy of her." "Well, I remember it, we must go to the hill to have a send- off party." "Let's ask Goto to go together." "Ok, let's go." "It is so exciting to climb hill under such a beautiful weather, so don't stay in the company." "You are right." "Ayako, are you sleepy?" "Not yet." "It is crowded here, isn't it noisy?" "But wherever to go, you will see travelling scholars and no places left in the hotels." "There's always someone running into the wrong room with slippers." "Is it?" "Then you can't have a good sleep." " But it is exiting." " Is it?" "Then it is good." "Excuse me." "Sir, the travelling scholars are waiting for you in the counting room." "Is is true?" "Ok, I am coming." "However, it is so cheering." "Ayako finally found a good husband who you like too." "Besides the marriage of Ayako," "I am worrying about you." " I am sorry for troubling you." " No at all." "It is wonderful." "It is time you had a rest." "I am leaving." " Good night." " Good night." "Night." "What about him, has he gone to bed?" " Ayako, will you please come here?" " Ok." "It is quiet now." "Have the travelling scholars gone to sleep?" "It is joyful to travel for learning, but it is really troublesome the night before going back." "And it is also disappointed, thinking that it is the last day." "Has Mama any experiences like this?" "What's the matter?" "Ayako." "Did you say that the re- marriage of Mama is filthy?" "No, never mention that again." "I am sorry for those words." "No, it is not the case." "I myself have the same opinion." " I decide to live on by myself." " But, Mum..." "I am satisied for having your father." "And from now on, live on with Papa." "How can you be satisfied?" "It is difficult to climb the hill from the very beginning." "But, Mama..." "It doesn't matter." "You needn't worry about Mama anymore." "Please take it easy, and marry Goto." "You will marry the man you love and be happy." "It is the most important thing for me." "I am so happy about that." "It doesn't matter." "I am not lonely at all." "But how can I leave you alone in that house?" "Never mind." "To keep you in the old house is improper." "I am old, but you are blooming." "There is so much happiness waiting for you." "Marry Mr.Goto." "Mama is still Mama, I will lead on the life myself." "Please do this." "I am not lieing." "Can you see?" "Can you understand me?" "The travelling was so exiting." "Do you remember the stories here during the war?" "Papa would come back every Sunday." "We were penniless at that time." "But he would bring back gifts for you everytime." "He was a qualified father." "Maybe it is our last time to travel together, so let's cherish it." "You are beginning a new life, so am I." "I will never forget the days here." "Well, are you ready?" "Bridegroom, please move a little toward her." "Ready?" "Quite good." "One more." "Please, wine." "It is so wonderful today, as well as the weather." "Sure it is." "It was all of a mess in the end, but it was funny." "Yes, it is exiciting." "Let's cheers for Ayako." "And also for Miwa and Akiko." " Cheers." " Cheers." "But, I don't think it interesting." "Isn't it good?" "The most important matter of Ayako is solved." "She attain her blessedness." "Sure it is." "But I have been a victim." "You two are gloating." "Is it the case?" "Didn't you have a good dream?" "What can you get from a dream?" "But different people have different wishes in this world, it sounds complicated." " And there's also something not complicated." " That's you." "But I was really scared, it was the daughter in the Sushi shop." "You mean her." "But she is funny, maybe the feeling won't be bad if you sometimes meet such a girl." " She is too lively." " But you will be upset if she is too tedious." "My daughter is just at the beginning." "It is so tied to be a father." "But what on earth is she thinking about?" " What, are you still keeping hope?" " No, I haven't thinking about this for a long time." "And have you recovered from that?" "No, it is still a torture." "But, don't you think it interesting?" "Just a little upset but nothing else." "So..." "And what about your daughter?" "It is time." "She is too young, I won't trouble you any more." "Go on drinking." " Is there any whiskey?" " It is enough." "So funny." " Have you gone sleep, Aunty?" " Yuri?" "I am worrying about you, so I came to have a look." "We went to Ginza after that." "Here you are." "Thank you." "Ayako is so beautiful today in a Japanese- style hair." "Is she?" "She herself doesn't like it." "Not at all, it is suitable." "Aunty, can I come here often from now on." "Of course." "I mean it." "It is so good that you're healthy." "Yes, I am too excited today." "Thanks for all of you, Ayako is blessed." "Yes, she's so lucky to have such a mother like you." " And then I am leaving, Aunty." " It is kind of you to come here." " Good night." " Good night." " Bye." " Bye." "Sync and additions by Dan vitale.daniele@tiscali.it"
