Original subtitles

Chiyo, wait up!

You can't do this

I think... this is fated

-So... -So?

Keep the baby. Bring it to this world

I'll work hard. We'll work hard together

Uncle

-A hug -Forget it

Why?

I think you must have said that on impulse

I did not

You think once the baby is born, everything's solved

No

This is just a way of dealing with the situation

Why are you talking so foolishly?

This is the feeling you've given me

You think far too much

There are beads of sweat on the tip of your nose

Dad said that people who sweat on the nose can't be trusted

I ran here. There's sweat on your nose too

I don't sweat when I talk about something important

-What do you want from me? -Show me proof

Proof?

What sort of proof?

-Do you dare tell my dad? -Tell him what?

Tell him to his face that I'm pregnant. Do you dare do that?

Of course I dare to. I will tell him.

-Will you really? -Of course!

It doesn't matter your dad was a police chief,

had beaten Eitaro up several times and that we're not married

I'll still tell him to his face for the sake of our adorable baby

Dr. Komatsubara

Wonderful! I'm very touched by your words

Each couple and expectant mother have a story of their own

You've come for a checkup?

Checkup? What does she need to check up?

-What do you think it is? -Oh, nothing

I'll take your blood

The husband should have a blood test just to be on the safe side

Sorry, you're not her husband yet. Let's go

You've really decided to tell her dad that she's pregnant?

-Ryunosuke -Your face!

-My dad punched him -Why?

He thought Aki was pregnant

-Does it hurt now? -Isn't it obvious?

Do you think I'm Superman? How can it not hurt?

Even a muscle man would die a horrible death

But how did Dad know Sis might be pregnant?

He couldn't possibly have known, right?

The pregnancy test kit... No...

I thought it was incredible too. Who told him?

Isn't it strange, Misato?

Yes, it's strange

He's lived up to his name as the ex-police chief

If your dad knows about us...

If he knows, do you think you can still sit here tight?

-Right -Right

I'm a real pal. I didn't give you away despite his punches

In the past, I considered seeking legal redress

Concerning the assault on Ittetsu Kotani,

we'll begin with a theoretical study

Aki and I have been seeing each other for 10 years

-10 years... 10 years! -Long time!

We broke up 5 times

In these 10 short years, her father bashed me up 4 times

The first time was 10 years ago

I tried to tell him I was innocent, but he beat me up

Second time was 6 years ago

I wasn't trying to explain, but he still hit me

Two years ago, he punched and kicked me

As a result, I lost my memory

And this time!

I opened the door, but didn't utter a word

The moment our eyes met, he punched me

No matter what you do, you'll get a sound beating

-You call that a theory? -Looks like there is no hope

-One thing is certain -What's that?

All this happened when Aki wasn't pregnant

In your situation, you have to add the fact that there's a baby

-So I'm sure... -It won't be just a sound beating

Exactly! We understand each other

-Dad is a judo and kendo expert -He's also a karate expert

He's never lost in a match

Sis, remember the time he had a fight with a gangster?

-He touched his shoulders... -And he fell flat on the ground

Flat on the ground?

I won't get a chance to say anything?

Right

-I've got an idea! -What?

-Avoid the important issue -What do you mean?

Don't tell him about the baby. Just seek his consent in the marriage

When he's given his consent, the rest can be easily settled

He'll have nothing to say when she's pregnant only after marriage

-Good reasoning -At least you won't get bashed up

-Misato is... -Very clever

Not bad at all

Thank you for your compliment

Just a minute!

You're talking about marriage. Am I getting married?

-What else can you do? -Aren't you pregnant?

Don't you wish to get married?

I'm too concerned about my pregnancy to think of marriage

Is it all right?

I am very happy!

I don't seem to have been of any help

-What is it? -Chiyo's problem of course

-I see -I envy them

I'll just walk you here today

Aren't you going to see me home?

I have things to do in the office

-So busy? -Bye

Hurts!

Are you OK?

Looks like you'll have to see me home

It really hurts

No. Sorry, I have to go!

Hold on!

No, I can't be tempted

Why doesn't the magic work? I can't convey it

Why not?

Don't tell me he's gay!

Why are you so sleepy?

I don't know. I sleep day and night but still feel sleepy

It's one of the effects of pregnancy

-You feel like throwing up? -No

I feel sorry for you. I've been infected too

I didn't sleep well last night thinking about things

Is it all right to get married just like that?

The charm of the magic bra is gone

A wedding should be romantic

What has happened to the witch's charm?

-I wonder... -I wonder...

Get back to work

This is a job, don't you get it?

Why are you using the editing room for so long?

I can't send out a piece of work I'm not happy with

Love between a man and a woman is right here

I can't comment. Our client will decide if he's happy with it or not

Look, it's overshot the budget

We want something good, cheap, and fast. Don't be too particular

Really?

The sooner you get it done, the earlier we get paid

-Cheap, fast, and good -I'll take note

I know... Good heavens, it's so late. Talk to you another day

Oh, one other thing. We talked about it the last time

That's it then

About the family gathering, will you come?

Can you hear me? Strange, she hung up

-Ryu, you're home -I came home long ago

-I'll shower and do a facial mask -Mum, I have something to discuss

You have things to discuss with me?

Sit down first

What is it? Is it good news?

I've grown up and I think I should...

It's about time...

About time I got marri...

Excuse me! We've come here to shower

Our gas heater isn't working again

I want to shower

Say hello first. You should have told me you were coming

The line was busy. I tried calling for 3 hours

-Can you see our buttocks? -No, go away

Go shower now. Wash yourselves clean

Ryu, did you say you wanted to get married?

-Brother, you want to get married? -Is it true?

Yes

What is the girl like? You've never told me

She is... She's an ordinary girl

How old is she?

Well, probably... t... t... twenty

-So young! -20 years old!

Impossible! She's so young

That's great

Why didn't you tell me?

You should bring her home and introduce her

There are many... many other reasons

She's pregnant, isn't she?

I knew it. If Brother suddenly decided to get married,

that's the only possibility

You're so smart

Is it true? Ryu, tell me the truth

It's true?

Oh Heaven!

Dad... What am I going to tell your dad?

I'm a bad mother

Ryu has to marry the girl because he's got her pregnant

Dad, I wish I'd join you soon

Mum, there you go again

20 years old! You said she's 20

What kind of shoes does she wear? Is she d... d... dark?

Dark?

No... I don't want the type of girls I see at Shibuya

No, please. If you're marrying such a girl, I'll never give my consent

-No! -Mum, what are you talking about?

She's talking about sexy girls who wear thick high-heeled clogs

Mum, girls don't wear such clogs anymore

I still don't like it

Buying a ticket only after boarding. It's disgraceful!

Grandma, what is disgraceful? Tell us

-What is disgraceful? -I don't know. Ask your dad

I don't know either. Ask Uncle Ryu

I'm not too sure

I know. You didn't wear a raincoat

-What? -Why did you say that?

It happened to Koyo because she didn't wear a raincoat

Didn't you say that?

[then, a few days later...]

What do you think of this?

Don't you have a dress that looks more innocent?

Innocent? Do I have such clothes?

What are you doing?

I'm only going to see Dad

Why do I have to spend so much time deciding what to wear?

Because in Dad's eyes, you're pure and innocent

Surely you don't want to destroy his image of you? You must look pure

You're right

He's here

-So cute -Thank you

What?

Don't touch it

The car you bought and are paying for in 60 installments

Right

Wait! Are you wearing this to see Dad?

-Plain enough? -That's an understatement

It won't do?

According to Eitaro's theory, you'll get...

Beaten up?

-Please get in -Thank you

Happy he's so attentive?

Not really

You're not the reason. He can't bear to let anyone touch his car

Don't get the wrong idea

-Is it true? -Definitely not

-Please don't touch it -Right?

I...

-You first -You first

-You first -You first

-It's nothing important -What's the matter?

What is it?

This seems to be the first time...

I'm saying... we seem to be going on a date

You're right

I'm right

-Don't... -What?

-Please don't touch it -Sorry. OK, I know

Turn left... Turn in

What do you want to discuss?

I've been thinking about it. Last night, I couldn't sleep

It's never happened to me before

What's that?

I'd like to know the impression others have of me

You're very attractive

-Am I really? -Yes. You're smart too

You are praising me again

-Promise me not to tell Aki -Sure, no problem

So beautiful since the day on the beach...

-Who? -My thoughts about you, of course

-Why? -Why... huh?

Am I missing something?

It's Takumi who's making me lose sleep

Takumi?

-I know -It is because of him

Great. You make me feel I still possess irresistible charm

Let's go back to the subject

As a guy, what do you think of Takumi?

What do you mean?

I have this feeling that he likes guys better

She made me ache all over. Takumi likes guys?

That's to say he is...

He's gay. He likes guys?

Eitaro, so glad to see you! I've been waiting for you

Exactly! Ryu disconnected the line

Ryu just doesn't seem to grow up

Someone is at the door. I'll call you back

Coming

Does Ryunosuke Hirano live here?

Yes, he does

This is the place! Are you his mother?

My name is Rina

-You're Ryunosuke's... -Yes!

Don't talk about it?

That's right. If Dad asks, it'll be hard for you to explain

-Steer clear of the subject? -Right

I think this should be the story. Will you listen?

OK

-We met in spring -Spring?

Yes

Not long after I started working in Tokyo, we met

It was Sis who introduced us

You fell in love with me at first sight and started pursuing me

You looked for me at the department store every day

I see

-Any problem with that? -No problem. Please continue

You grew even more attracted to me on seeing how seriously I took my job

You believed I'd be perfect as your wife

You dated me with a view to marriage

But I said I'd never thought of marriage

Still, you believed I was the best

I rejected you, but you wouldn't give up

At first, I never thought about it at all

But you called me every day, and I was finally touched

That's how we got started? Isn't it old-fashioned?

Let's add some roses. I sent you a rose every day

Trust a creative director to churn up good ideas. I like pink

-Orange red -Pink

Orange red! It's my inspiration. Orange red is your color

Do you have to be so serious? It's all made-up

Look who's talking. You take it seriously too

Then what?

This is the important point. We have an innocent relationship

Really? What?

Never forget that. We've never been intimate Really? What?

Never forget that. We've never been intimate

Never been intimate? OK

-We've never held hands or kissed -Never kissed?

Should be all right... This is my dad's special argument

If the guy loves the girl, he'll respect and cherish her

He won't even touch her hands

Because you love her so much

-Yes. Second important point -More?

Though you've proposed, I've not accepted

So the purpose of your visit is to seek his consent. Well?

Very good

That's why you can't go on seeing Misato?

Yes

In the past, I considered becoming a legal assistant. Let's go through it

That's to say your attitude to all girls...

Wrong... I should say you don't like Misato

No that. I think if she's not someone you really love,

I shouldn't hold her hands or do anything

Strange. That night at the seaside, didn't you sleep together?

No! I'd never do such a thing to a girl so casually

But I remember you said you used two

I will use two

I'm just stating a point of view

If she's not someone I love, I can't do it

That hurts

-Eitaro, can I spend the night here? -Why?

I still have so much to tell you. Ryu is not around today

Aki has gone to work. No one will disturb us

I'm busy. I have to read

Don't read. Let's talk about love

You met at the social gathering?

We got along very well. At the working place, we met again

It seems fated

-Fated? -Yes

I'm so sorry Ryunosuke isn't in at this important moment

I wonder where he's gone

Don't take it to heart. I came because I wanted to

This cake is delicious. I didn't make a wasted trip

Excuse me, how's your health?

I've never been stronger and healthier!

That's good

Do your parents know about it?

-About what? -This

-They don't know yet -Shouldn't they be told?

What has it got to do with them?

How could you say that! What should I do?

I'm too ashamed to see your parents. What should I do?

What am I going to do, old man? Please tell me

-We're late. Will your dad be angry? -Relax

-What time did you say we'd be here? -I didn't tell him the time

-You didn't? -He's always home on Sunday

What is it?

You said he'd be at home. Have you told him the purpose of my visit?

You didn't tell him anything?

I came to seek his consent. How can you not prepare him?

Don't worry, I'll tell him when we see him

Just repeat what we went through in the car skillfully

Skillfully? A guy who beat up Eitaro 4 times won't give me...

a chance to put things to him skillfully. What's that noise?

He's still practicing so hard

-Where are you going? -Inside?

Let's walk in by the front door instead of sneaking in by the back

-Hang on -What is it?

I think you should...

re-write your script

Why? You said it was good

The ending is very important. That's the main issue

Don't worry, we're already here. Let's go in

My clothes are a little flamboyant. I mustn't give a bad impression

-I'm afraid... -What's your business here?

I... I'm from the hotel. The wine is here, goodbye

Why did you say you were from the hotel?

It was the first thing that came to my mind

-Listen... -Please don't touch it!

Don't touch it

What is your plan?

You're seen as a liar now

It's your fault for not telling your dad beforehand

Why blame me? Is it all my fault?

Isn't it? Sorry

I'll introduce you to my mum first

We'll go over now?

I've told Mum about you. Today, we'll...

Hello! Oh, Mum! I'm just about to...

Who is there?

Rina... Your Rina

-You're joking -I'm not joking!

I'll ask her to come to the phone. She's been waiting for you

How are you, Ryu? I'm Rina!

-Forget about seeing her today -Why?

We haven't thought about what to say

We have to come to an agreement first...

before telling them about our marriage

What agreement? Why are you using business terms?

I don't understand you. Don't try to humor me!

My precious car!

Which is more important? Your car or me?

It's a fact

We haven't known each other for long

That's why it's turned out like this. We don't know each other at all

I know just one percent of what Sis knows about you

I don't know anything about you. My understanding of you is zero

In the same way, you don't know me either

Compared to the girl on the phone, you know close to nil about me!

-Rina has got nothing to do with this -So her name is Rina.

Cute name. I should change my name to that

I want to go home

OK, suit yourself

I came specially to see your dad, and I was nervous

Ask yourself honestly

Do you really want to marry me?

If you want to marry me, you should be even more... even more...

-Even more what? -Forget it! I'm going home

What is this!?

It's nothing you should worry about. Just let her rest

But she had a terrible tummyache

-It's due to constipation -Constipation?

A common complaint of pregnant women

Yes, I think so too

-I'll give you some pills -Thank you

-Doctor... -Tell me how I can help you

Is it because I'm too comfortable? I feel sleepy

Take a nap. Relax and have a good rest

About the blood test, it's fortunate we discovered it in time

What?

Just a joke. Have you thought of something?

Chiyo, are you all right?

Are you the doctor? Is her baby all right?

Doctor

You are...

I'm her sister, Aki Kotani

You're her sister? So beautiful!

-She's still sleeping? -Yes

She must be very tired

She was stressed about going home today

Don't get it wrong. It isn't that she didn't want to tell Dad

She just couldn't bring herself to say it

About your marriage

I wanted to tell Dad for her, but she insisted on doing it herself

She's quite a determined girl, and very different from me

I see

She's always been Dad's precious little daughter

She doesn't want Dad to worry

It's hard for her to broach the subject...

especially when she can't reveal her condition

Ryunosuke, be good to Chiyo

You're the only one she can depend on now

I know

What's that?

Your baby. She's been keeping it

I'm sorry

Goodnight

[Ryunosuke]

Hello

It's me, Ryunosuke

-Are you ready? -Are you?

No problem. Go according to what we said just now

Wait

OK

Ready

-I'm home -Hello!

-Coming -Welcome!

-Sis -Aki

Come in. I've not seen Ryunosuke for a long time

You're still the same

Auntie, you're still as pretty as a flower

-Dad's favorite... -Bonsai!

What are you doing?

We've waited a long time

He's probably tending the bonsai

-Is it real? -What?

He practices with it occasionally

Sweat!

You're sweating. The tip of your nose

I've kept you waiting

Are you here to seek my consent in the marriage?

Yes

Scoundrel!

Fabrication, isn't it?

Pardon... What do you mean?

The one without an alibi is the most suspicious

What are you talking about? Don't be suspicious of him

Beads of sweat on the tip of your nose

Sorry!

You can't trust a person who has sweat on the tip of the nose

Is that what you want to say?

Everybody perspires. You perspire too, Dad

No!

Old man, let's get ready for dinner.

-OK, Ryunosuke? -Yes

Hey... You're inviting him to dinner on the first meeting?

It's not the first meeting. The last time...

You're a hotelier?

No... I'm not a hotelier

I'm a creative director of an advertising firm

It's a lie

I can explain what happened that day

It was to leave a deeper impression on you

Right! I meant no harm

Are you lying again?

What's wrong with you, Dad? Why won't you trust us?

Do you think they're hiding something from you?

He thinks we have a dark secret

Unpardonable! I won't consent to the marriage

Leave. Get out!

What's the matter with you?

Remember how hard you punched Eitaro the last time?

I refrained from speaking my mind then, but I have to speak up now

You were wrong to hit him

He and Aki have been seeing each other for so long,

but have never made any plans to get married

Aki is now 30. The last time, we even thought she was pregnant

If Aki had to get married because she was pregnant,

that would be really disgraceful. Right, Ryunosuke?

If that is the case, then it's wrong

I knew you'd understand. You'll never do such a thing

You're a steady guy and have a great job

You flatter me

He's different from Eitaro. He has a decent job and is a good person

Thank you for your compliment

You've been seeing Chiyo because you want to marry her?

Right, he made that clear

-You haven't even held hands? -Is it true Ryunosuke?

Yes

I'm so glad. To think there are still such young people around

Japan still has a future

Look how dependable and honest he is. Give your consent

Yes, Dad

Chiyo may never meet another good man like him

She may end up like Aki - 30 and left on the shelf

-Do you love him? -You do, right?

-Will you regret marrying him? -Of course not

That is enough

What are your grounds for praising this man to the skies?

Why do you think Chiyo will never regret marrying him?

Old man... Sorry, Ryunosuke. Chiyo is only 20

Marriage seems too early

He looks fierce but really, he's just worried

The more worried he is, the fiercer he looks

No matter what he says, I'm on your side

I think I can trust Chiyo with you

I believe you'll protect her

Thank you for accepting Chiyo

Please take care of her

-That's quite enough -This is how I feel

-I'm her father -I'm her mother

Silence!

Auntie, I'm sorry

The fact is I'm not as good as you think

Thinking back now... How should I phrase it?

Father, Mother The truth is...

Chiyo is having my baby

Baby?

Yes. We want to get married because she's pregnant

What I said just now are all lies

We slept together on the first day we met as the mood seemed right

If I tell you I'm not worried about the situation, that's a lie

I don't know if it's right to get married so soon

You don't know?

I believe Chiyo has the same doubt

We haven't known each other for long

But I must say this. I decided to marry Chiyo on my own

No one has influenced me. It is my own decision

I wasn't trying any trick when I went to look for you at the hospital

I really want you to have the child

I'll work hard with marriage as my goal

The order is reversed, but we'll learn to understand each other...

and shoulder the responsibility. We'll bring up the child

This is what I wish to do. Please consent to our marriage

Please let us get married

-Ryunosuke -I beg you
