101st Marriage Proposal The Fourth Movement
You will?
Taking over his place?
His...
...face...
His touch...
I haven't forgotten him...
I still can't believe it!
I understand how you feel.
It's sad that you missed
your chance for Kacho promotion.
But as a human being...
...you did more than all the other managers combined.
Shibuya.
Yes.
I admire your optimism.
Huh?
Can you write the Kanji characters for "Melancholy"?
Melancholy?
Yes. Melancholy.
This is how you write.
I see.
What is it?
Whoa!
Good morning.
Morning?
It's already noon.
I left the key here.
Make a spare, will you?
OK?
This is my key, so don't lose it!
OK?
Have a nice day.
Good bye!
Let me see him again.
Let me see him again!
I beg you...
Hello. This is Yabuki Residence.
Dad?
Yes.
What's up?
You're coming tomorrow?
You said such a nasty thing?
He made me so angry.
I didn't know what I was saying.
And so?
What did Hoshino-san say?
He didn't say anything.
I tell you Kaoru-chan...
What?
You want to lean on Hoshino-san, perhaps.
Why do you say that?
I was furious with him!
Maybe so at first.
But then you just wanted him to hear you out.
I heard you went to see Kaoru-san.
Aa...Yes!
I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
No, not at all.
That's what I thought I should do at least.
Then she called you?
Yes, on that evening.
I met Kaoru-san.
Is that so?
There's one thing...
What?
For a woman...
Is it really that hard...
to forget her old lover?
I don't know, but...
It all depends on him
and the personality of that girl.
That's true, I think.
Is that how it is?
Huh?
Yabuki-san...
She can't forget her old lover?
No...It's not that.
Don't you worry.
Once she falls in love with you,
She can surely forget him.
That's the most difficult part.
Will you give up then?
That's even more difficult.
Yo!
Hey!
Wait up!
I apologized about your birthday.
I don't want to speak to you.
Why?
Nothing good ever happens
when I'm involved with you, two.
Say...
Do you know what happened last night?
No.
Since my brother met Kaoru-san last night,
My brother is acting strange again.
You're both strange anyway.
Actually...
I really sympathize with you.
About what?
The one you love is...
...that violin player.
Get away from me!
What?
Your Dad?
He's coming tomorrow.
Kaoru's Dad is...
...in the ...
...printing business.
Yes.
He's a president...
...of a small and medium size company.
Coming with another miai for you?
Probably.
Should I pretend to be your boyfriend?
If you do,
He'd arrange our wedding immediately.
I wouldn't mind.
She might not be home.
Hoshino-san?!
What are you doing here?
Well...I...
Sis hasn't come back?
Seems she hasn't...
The key... I gave it to Sis...
Well...
Excuse me but...
eh?
Is this it?
Sis dropped it when she saw you, Hoshino-san.
Yes.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Well...I noticed it immediately...
Yes.
But I couldn't go after her...
Now you know all about her past.
I guess you'll have to give up now.
You can't compete with someone who's passed away.
I guess so...
I almost forgot!
Can you stay here for a while?
eh?!
I need to go shopping for dinner.
Won't you stay for dinner?
My sister will be home soon.
I guess I will!
Let's make it our last dinner.
Good bye.
Do you want to go for a drink?
If I don't go home, Chie won't be able to get in.
What?
I lost my key.
Clumsy!
If that's the case...
I guess I'll go home, too.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Ahh, Naoto...
I'm sorry about the other day.
Huh?
Chie scolded me.
I shouldn't have told everyone
I turned you down.
It didn't bother me.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
If you apologize,
it sounds like I don't have a chance.
Sorry...
There you go again.
Sorry, I'm so...
Aren't you listening...
My bad.
Bye.
What am I trying to do?
Come on!
Yes!
What?
Can I help you?
Excuse me...
What do you want?
No door to door sales, please.
No soliciting.
No, I'm not...
Got it ! Newspaper subscription?
No need.
Not interested in getting
Giants-Tigers game tickets at Tokyo Dome.
Yo got that? Go. Go.
Bye!
Ow...
Ouch!
Sorry, Sorry.
But you're so slow.
You must pull your hands immediately.
How is it?
That's nothing.
A little spit will make it as good as new.
As good as new now.
Then, go away, Shoo, shoo, shoo!
OK. Shoo!
Go home!
Araa...
You're too persistent.
Well...
I'll call the police.
Don't be a nuisance weirdo.
Got it?!
Is this the "Yabuki" residence?
Yes. It says "Yabuki", right here.
OK?
I'm their father.
I said I don't want any!
"Yabuki Kaoru and Chie." I'm their father.
Dad?
Dad...
What's wrong?
I thought you were coming tomorrow.
Who is that?
Who?
Hoshino-san!
Please punish me.
I hardly ever come to Tokyo.
I heard your voice on the phone.
I got urges to see your face.
So I came one day earlier.
Then what did I find?
Who is that strange man?
He was my last omiai date.
I don't know about that!
Your Mom arranged it.
If you have something to say, you should tell her.
All set.
Are you dating him?
eh?
You mean Hoshino-san?
I don't know his name.
I'm not dating him.
Then why is he here!
Maybe he's dating Chie.
Huh?
He brought back the key you lost, didn't he?
That's why!
I didn't...
You date such a strange weirdo...
I didn't raise you both for that!
How are things going?
He's talking to my sister.
Was he angry?
I told him I had asked you to stay.
I bet he is angry...I spitted on him.
eh?
I didn't know he was your father...
I said "Shoo Shoo" and called him a "weirdo."
He told me about it.
He did...
But don't worry about it.
Is that so?
Yes.
Just don't ever see her again.
This is for you.
eh?
You couldn't make your last dinner.
I see...
So make it yourself.
Good night.
Bye Bye!
What the hell am I smiling about?
Yummy!
This tastes great!
Aren't you eating?
Mmm...this is good.
If I eat this, it'll all be over.
It's leftovers from my last dinner.
Always this way...
I have such bad timing.
Why always...
I hardly ever speak ill of others.
But when I do out of blue moon,
he is usually right behind me...
It happened when I was in junior high,
I was sick that day.
On the day I cut P.E. class
and stayed in my classroom.
Our Class' Lunch Money Bag was stolen.
Everyone suspected me.
Why my life had been...
Haven't you done enough grumbling?
Not enough yet.
There's no turning back...
Going, going, going down...
Brother!
eh?
There is one thing I must know.
What?
About Kaoru-san's fiance...
You know the story, right?
What about it?
How did you feel when you heard about it?
I thought I can't...
I can't match for someone who passed away.
Is that all?
eh?
And the next thing I thought was...
Kaoru-san would...
...find happiness...
I want to...
...make her happy.
So, that's how I thought.
I see.
I'll go take a bath.
OK.
Wooooo...this is the end...
You are gone...
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye...
Whoa?!
Me?!
No choice. I've a concert.
Take him to the Yose-Comedy Theater.
Comedy Theater?
Dad, I'm putting some clean clothes here.
Thanks.
Tomorrow, Chie will take you to the Comedy Theater.
Is that so?
I'll put your bedding down in my room.
Kaoru.
Yes?
Isn't it high time...
you should come back?
After 5 years, you promised to come home.
But I...
Moreover...
Because you're still involved in music.
Maybe you can't forget him at all.
The reason why I came here this time is...
...to take you back home with me.
Not any more!
I don't want anything to do with you.
Please bend your rules a bit.
One way to a girl's heart is through her father, they say.
Please.
My brother went back all the way to his childhood days.
He is really depressed again.
I beg you!
This is the last time.
I don't have any way...
Mokuba Tei Theater Asakusa, Tokyo
Here you are.
Where's your ticket?
Dad, can I go and watch that movie?
So Yose-theater is just for old people?
Don't tell Sis.
She'll be angry.
Just go then.
Thank you.
Wait for me here when it's finished.
Bye bye!
Excuse me.
Do you come here often?
eh? No.
It's you!
My name is Hoshino Tatsuro.
It's starting, starting.
Let's break for 10 minutes.
So...what are you going to do?
Do about what?
Are you going back with your father?
No way.
I'll talk him out of it.
I guess he doesn't know his daughter is an artist.
A daughter is just a daughter.
Is he coming tonight?
He's at the Comedy Theater with Chie.
Mmm...it smells good.
I don't feel it hot!
You don't feel hot.
'Cause fire is not coming to the point yet.
Funny, isn't it?
See, fire is coming down to the point gradually.
Well...if you don't mind,
we can go to lunch together.
I'll treat you to some delicious Japanese noodles.
I don't want you to treat me.
Perhaps you treat me then?
I'm meeting my daughter.
Chie-chan's not coming.
Chie fixed this?
No.
My brother begged her to help.
Leaving you and me alone....
What's good about it?!
Actually...
I wanted to apologize for my rudeness the other day.
It doesn't bother me anymore.
I didn't even know about the miai.
My wife did it without my knowing it.
Yes.
Excuse my saying so...
If you're still a Kakaricho at your age,
you must not have much talent.
On top of it, there is no way
my daughter Kaoru would like you?
Impossible.
Yes.
I'm planning...
...to take her back to Hamamatsu.
It was the same the last time.
All on her own, she decided to get married
and then her fiance died.
She's already 30...
... and still unmarried.
I have my responsibility as her parent.
It's my fault for letting her play around with music.
I must take that responsibility, too.
I can't let her fool around forever.
Fool around?
Kaoru-san is not fooling around.
The man she loved died.
And she can't forget him.
She can't think of her marriage.
She isn't attracted to other men.
How can you say Kaoru-san's fooling around?
When Kaoru-san plays the cello,
she sparkles.
Her expression changes with every moment.
She is just like a Kaleidoscope.
If that's the only way you see Kaoru-san,
You must have bad eyes.
You're rude!
Be quiet!
I don't care if you are the president or not,
If that's the way you see your own daughter,
your company has a rough future.
What right do you have to say those things to me?
Yes, sorry... you're right.
Father!
May I call you father?
Maybe it's a little early?!
Why the hell do I say these things?
Dad!
Are you alone?
Yeah.
I see.
Let's go.
You lectured him?!
Yes.
Unknowingly.
Unknowingly?!
Don't you know how I...
I gave you a chance to make things right with her Dad.
I begged her sister to help.
And we arranged that meeting.
You lectured him!
Since when did you become a priest?!
I don't have anything to say.
Of course you don't.
You have nothing to say. Of course not!
I give up.
I can't help you any more.
Junpei-chan, please don't abandon me!
Don't "Chan" me any more!
"Chan" doesn't work any more!
I regret.
I'll become a priest, physically and mentally.
Please!
Maka Hanya Haramita Shingyo... (heart surtra)
Why did you do that?
Just because...
he asked me to.
By Hoshino-san?
No, his brother.
Dad's trying to take me home with him.
Really?
What are we going to do?
Dad went to bed without saying a word.
Maybe something happened with Hoshino-san.
He's sure to take me home now!
I was planning to talk him out of it.
I'm sorry.
Why...what was he thinking...
Why did he want to see my father?
He wanted to get on Dad's good side.
Still?
He hasn't given up on me yet?
I guess not.
His persistence... with this much persistence...
My anger goes into something else.
Maybe it'll turn into love?
Will it?!
Kaoru.
Sorry. Did I wake you?
No.
You must be tired.
Sort of...
I was remembering your younger years.
When I was still cute?
You were very cute.
You were the tomboy type of girl.
I forced you to learn to play the piano.
You bought me a lot of frilly clothes.
Long time ago...
When I was in high school,
Yes?
In our Brass Band,
I fell in love with a girl who played the flute.
Is that right?
It's the first time you told me this.
At our school excursion,
I finally found the courage to confess my love.
And?
Then?
That was it.
We weren't a very wealthy family.
Piano playing...
a girl who plays the classical music...
I kind of felt...
a smell of a different world...
a class...something like that.
I only graduated from high school.
But...
I was able to open my small plant.
When I first held you in my ink-stained hands,
I decided to send you to music schools.
Dad...
Yes?
I liked...
...your big hands with the smell of ink.
You always won awards in Piano Competitions
and made me proud.
But I never thought you'd make a career out of music.
Me, neither.
Every relative quoted the proverb:
Even plain parents can produce a genius child
I think I've talked enough...
Perhaps it's just that I wanted to live with you again.
Forget what I said.
Brother!
It's Sunday! Let me sleep in.
Brother, wake up!
Go away!
You have a guest. A guest!
Tell him to leave!
It's Kaoru-san!
My father told me
to thank you.
I don't know what you told him, but...
Thanks to you, I won't have to leave.
Ahh, is that so...
I see. I thought I had to.
I had to make things straight with him,
Or else you would be in trouble.
I thought he'd take you back home.
That's why I told that man, I mean your father
My father seemed a little depressed.
Is that so?
That's not what I did.
Maybe someone else said something bad to him.
But I'm relieved, after all.
Good, good.
Yes, that's why I talked him into it.
My father is taking the afternoon train.
Is that so?
And one more thing...
I'm sorry about the other day.
eh?
There was no use in saying those things to you, Hoshino-san.
Momoko said...
...My friend you met at Chie's birthday party.
Yes. Yes.
She said I wanted to lean on you.
As you are so sweet,
She said that's why I told you those things.
Please lean on me.
If I can be of any help, use me.
I might gain weight if you are too sweet.
I lose weight, then.
It would benefit us both.
Hoshino-san.
Yes.
Maybe I shouldn't say this, but...
Please have another omiai.
I told you once.
I won't fall in love with you,
nor marry you.
I said, "That's fine with me."
I can't settle with that.
I'm flattered that you're interested in me.
If you don't have another omiai,
it would be a waste, mind my saying so...
So...even if you'd do go overboard,
I swear...
Feelings of love...
...won't grow.
I don't want to sound cold...
Is it because you can't forget your former fiance...
Yes, that's true now.
But...
...even if one day I meet another man
and fall in love with him...
Even if that happened,
it certainly...
...wouldn't be you, Hoshino-san.
Am I not your type?
I'm sorry.
I understand.
Not even 1 percent...
eh?
I don't even have a 1 percent chance?
I understand.
Can we just be friends?
No? Of course not.
I'm over 40 and not handsome.
I'm very incompetent at my job.
There's no way Kaoru-san would...
I won't fall for that again.
eh?
You said the same at our omiai.
I fell into your trap.
And things got complicated.
I won't fall for that trick again.
I see, I see.
Kaoru-san, you go for looks.
And wealth.
That's what your criteria is all about.
I see. I understand.
No!
At least I don't...
...select a man
by his appearance and wealth.
I'm glad to hear that.
Really?!
Really?
But! ...
There you go again.
I am saying...
I don't like your personality!
My personality?
Personality? ...
Tell me what it means accurately.
That is ...
..."feelings"...
Yes!
"Feelings" don't match!
Feelings?
I won't ever see you again!
I'm sorry.
Good bye.
I understand.
What...What's this?
God damn...Whoa!
Goddamnit!
Son of a...
I might as well wash this, too.
It's open!
Whoa! Goddamnit.
Hello!
Aaa!
Sorry!
Welcome.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please come in.
Thank you.
You surprised me.
I'm coming in now.
Is Kakaricho not feeling well?
eh?
He didn't come to work yesterday.
Aa...He's fine. Just fine.
He's out for a walk right now.
I see...
This is a little gift for him.
Thanks.
Doing laundry?
Yes.
Please have a seat.
I'll do it for you.
eh?
No, no. You don't have to do that.
I like it.
I like reshaping laundry at veranda.
Aa...
Be seated.
I feel like I'm imposing.
Don't worry about it.
I like this situation very much.
eh?
Aa...ya...
I lost my mother at an early age.
So my brother and I,
take turns for house chores.
Is that so...
That's why my brother...
because of his age, of course,
I understand why he wants to get married.
Is that so?
Not that!
eh?
Not that.
Sorry.
What are you doing?!
eh?!
Brother! ...
Hello.
What are you doing at veranda?!
I just took your underwear...
And stretch it this way...
Don't play with my underwear!
Are you still not feeling well?
eh?
Something is wrong with "feelings."
Feelings?!...
Tell Mom "Hi."
Yeah.
I will be home for New Years.
I see.
You have so many gray hairs, Dad.
I kind of hate it...
Actually, your mother had me bring many miai photos with me.
eh?
Of course,
I didn't plan to show them to you.
Kaoru.
What?
You must forget Makabe-kun.
Dad.
He broke his promise.
He would make you happy...
He promised me.
He broke his promise.
I can't forgive him.
He made you unhappy.
I can't forgive him.
Dad...
Brother, look!
Voi la!!
What do you think it is?
A phone number.
Yes.
It's her home phone number.
Her number?
Yes! It's Ryoko-chan, Ryoko-chan's number.
Okamura-kun's number?
That's right.
'Cause she lives with her parents,
She wouldn't give it to me before.
But just before she left today,
"Should you need any help, feel free to call me."
That's what she said.
She fell for the line about Mom.
Is she interested in you?
Didn't you know?
Of course not.
Why else would she come here so often?
One thing I must make sure.
She's my co-worker.
Don't mess around with her.
One thing I must make it clear.
I'm not with your company!
It doesn't matter.
Just enjoy while you can.
It has been always the same story.
You never get your first choice.
You're usually just lucky enough
to get your 2nd or 3rd choice.
Your first choice is too difficult, isn't it?
What are you saying?
"Slipstop protection" didn't even work for you.
I'm better off than you are now!
I killed you, didn't I?
What?
You want to fight?
Ahaaa...
Brother,
You don't even have a One Percent Chance, she said.
You had better give up.
Have another omiai.
No matter how ugly or fat the woman is...
Settle with her.
Hey you...
You have no choice.
You can say anything you want...
Ow...ow...ow...
What are you doing?
What do you want?
Get the phone!
Ouch!
Get the phone?!
My ass!
I finally got the...
Hello. This is Hoshino.
It's you.
Is my sister there?
She came...
but during the day, though.
She hasn't come back home yet
after she saw our father off.
Maybe she went home with him.
Okay. Thanks. Bye.
What was that?
What did you do that for?
It was hot.
What was that?
Planning a Gokan, ahh, Gokon with your university friends?
Gokan? (Rape) What are you talking about?
Chie, it was Chie.
It was Kaoru-san's sister.
Are you seeing 2 girls at the same time?
No!
Aaaa...a...
Then what is it?
Kaoru-san might have gone home with her father.
eh?!
She called to tell me
she'd be back in a few days.
She jumped on the train impulsively.
She's such a pushover.
However, it might be a good opportunity.
eh?
She may not be able to forget him,
But she may be able to turn him into a memory.
Makabe-san?
Yes.
By returning to the girl she was
before she knew him,
she may be able to compose herself.
That's what she said.
Welcome home!
Welcome to "Heartbreak Party!"
Look! Look at these decorations!
I spent a lot of time on this.
I asked busybody aunt for help.
She collected these Omiai Portrait Photos.
Look at these, brother.
Now you can pick and choose.
How about this one, my good customer?
What do you say?
I'm going to bed.
eh?
I'm going to bed.
eh? Why?
She's not as pretty as Kaoru-san, but...
I'm going to bed.
eh?
I'm going to bed.
Why?
Why???
Brother!
Time to get up.
What?
Hurry up! The movie is starting!
What's the hurry?
I don't want to miss the beginning.
We'll watch the next showing then.
eh?
If we can't make it,
we'll watch the next one.
Time and I won't go anywhere.
I'm not going to cry over you anymore.
When I'm sad...
my father and Chie,
and everyone else will get sad.
So...
Good bye.
I won't ever forget you, but...
Good bye.
Kaoru-san!!
I stopped by at your home.
You'd be here!
That's what they told me.
You came here?
Yes, I did.
That was foolish.
I was just leaving to return.
That's what I heard.
This? This is ...
I had a flat tire on my way...
It's strange...
But I had a feeling...
you might come.
Me, too.
I had a feeling...
you might be waiting for me.
Maybe that's...
by any chance...
...what's called "feelings"?
Maybe so.
Do I have a one percent chance now?
You could say that.
2 percent, perhaps?
Probably...
3 percent, probably?
Mmm...Possibly.
Then, just by any chance...
10 percent?
No? Maybe 9 percent?
Then, how about...
8 percent?
Just maybe so...
