Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you very much.

Hey, how was yesterday's arranged meeting?

Don't speak so loudly!

It was you who told me that!

I wanted to ask you something.

About what?

It's all right.

Why?

It's not important.

How was the guy?

He was really nice.

Really?

You said that you liked... I forgot his name...

your cousin, Ryosuke. You liked him, didn't you?

I like him? For me, he is someone like a brother.

I have known him since my childhood.

Anyway, you like him, don't you?

I never thought of him in that way. We are always arguing.

Because you like each other. I think so. More you love, more you dispute.

It so for a couple, though. Anyway, you love each other.

I have respect for him.

But, he doesn't like me, because he thinks that I'm too...

conservative!

Really?

May I help you?

What do you think? It must be really good.

Ah, here he is.

You are in good mood. Did you get a bonus?

You really are a genius.

Ginza 1120, please.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Who is speaking?

Yes, wait a moment please.

Hiroko, it's for you.

- It's Mr. Kitamura. - Thank you.

Yes, Hiroko. Did you call me?

Yes. I wanted to tell you about yesterday's meeting.

Yes. How was the guy?

He was a nice man... just kidding. Anyway, I want to see and talk to you.

All right. At 5:30 and where?

Yes, see you then.

Are you all right?

Who's that?

Is she beautiful?

- Certainly, she is beautiful. - Really?

- But, she is just my cousin. -No kidding.

Please introduce her to us.

She is beautiful and intelligent

She is too much for you.

Don't be jealous.

How's that woman with whom you went out so often?

She is just a girlfriend.

He knows how to get along.

Mr. Horie, someone came to see you.

- Who is it? - She is family.

What's up?

Brother, could you do me a favour?

I have to go to the funeral of my friend's family.

Why don't you ask to Mom.

She doesn't believe what I say.

Me, neither.

That's enough.

Mom says you spend too much.

But, I really need money today.

How much do you need?

Up to you.

You kill too many of your friends' parents.

I heard that the woman whom you met yesterday was very beautiful.

- Are you happy about that? - Fool!

- You can give me more. - Shut up!

Do you know my friend Takeda?

His coworker, Masuda, do you know him?

No.

Takeda says that he saw you walking with Masuda. Is it true?

I don't know.

You have to be careful with that kind of guy.

I'm all right.

There are too much frivolous guys.

You have to be prudent.

He looks a little frivolous, but recently all men seem frivolous.

You have no respect for men.

But, a man like you is really rare!

Thank you.

What should I do?

I don't know. It's not me who would have to marry him.

How nasty you are. Then, it's all right. I will marry him.

Anyway, since I cannot get married with someone I love, anyone will do.

It's because you are too conservative and indecisive.

Yes, it is. I am a conservative and indecisive woman. Anyway, I won't marry you.

So, don't tell me that.

- I'm sorry for him. - Don't say that!

Marriage is something really important in your life. You should be more serious.

I think that I can manage it anyhow, because it is important in my life.

It's not good way of thinking.

- It's all right. I'm sure of it. - If you think so, you can try it.

You say it in such a way, but you don't have any girlfriend.

It's none of your business.

You have to find an intelligent and decisive woman.

Thank you.

Then, what will you do? Even though I talk about you to my parents,

they won't easily accept us.

Also, they have already found some nice guys for me.

What should we do?

If you want, you can leave your family.

But... I don't want to live in an apartment.

Why don't we find a nice house in the suburbs?

If I leave my family, I might not be able to bring my clothes,

then we do not have enough money.

How we can live?

I think we can live together anyhow, but it's too early.

Don't say that. I don't know what should I do. My Dad will accept us someday.

If so, he will give us money. So, it's just for a while.

Do you have any idea to live together until then?

Don't be too serious. You have time to think about that.

Then, let's go dancing.

It's time for Ryo to get married.

I don't know what kind of woman is good for him.

I don't know, but he cannot expect someone special,

because his family is not rich and he still lives with his father.

But, any rich woman would want to marry him.

I don't know.

How's your father?

He is fine. Now he is collecting Antiques.

He asks money from Ryosuke by saying

that he would make a fortune from them.

I see.

By the way, Aunt. Do you know the man whom she met yesterday?

He looks good.

Yeah?

Yoshiko, recently, every young woman seems to go to Dance Hall,

have you ever tried?

I've never been to Dance Hall, but I dance at my friend's place.

Really? So, you are a modern woman.

Every young woman goes dancing.

But, my daughter, Hiroko doesn't know any that about that kind of thing.

Yesterday, she was asked whether she goes dancing or not.

It's nothing special.

Really? So, could you teach her how to dance?

Could you teach me, top?

You are nasty.

Masao!

Ryosuke will say so, too. I'm sure.

What did you say?

Stop it! Don't break the window shade, again.

Don't be violent!

Say sorry to me! '

Mam!

Yoshiko, welcome!

Hello.

What are you doing?

Yoshiko is too strong. I gave up for her.

Were you fighting again?

Why did you come here today?

I came to pick up Dad's clothes.

Did you eat?

Yes, I did.

Good evening.

She came here again to make noise.

I just finished sewing your Dad's clothes. I asked Masao to bring them, but...

No way.

Do you see?

He listens only to Ryosuke.

He doesn't listen to us.

Because you are not intelligent enough, especially Yoshiko.

Stop it!

We should fight over there, come on!

Yes!

Would you like tea?

Did you hear about yesterday's meeting?

Yes.

I haven't asked her for an answer, but I think he is a good man.

I see.

I think his family is good for her, because the family is important.

Certainly.

He says that he can help to pay Masao's tuition fees. It's really helpful.

My husband didn't leave enough money for us. I shouldn't say it,

as he was your father's brother, but I had many troubles with my husband.

My father, too. He doesn't care about money.

The problem of money. It's so worrisome.

I know.

By the way, he seems a modern guy.

I don't know whether she can live together with him.

She would be all right. She is really intelligent.

You are so cynical.

You are sure that you will make out anyhow, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

But, yesterday...

I will be all right. Don't worry about dancing I can dance.

If still you are worrying about it, I can dance here before you.

Can you dance? I didn't know.
