- Do you think it looks okay? - It looks great.
- Really? Really? - You look beautiful!
Ah really?
Wow she's really beautiful...
You're a lucky man.
- To have such bride... - Thank you.
I've been in this business a long time,
but you're the best- looking couple I've seen.
Really?
- Are you really going to marry him? - What?
How can you say something like that?
These are customers who will have a ceremony here and you, you are a contract employee...
- Noda-san, telephone. - Yes.
Wait...
You're loud.
Bravo! Bravo! Sorry to keep you waiting,
look how beautiful!
Look here, please, look such beauty...
Wait, wait.
Hello. Hello?
It's me.
Haruko-san?
Are you busy today?
Not really.
How about a date?
A date?!
By date, you mean,
meeting for coffee, movies
a park? That kind of date?
Yes, that kind of date.
You don't want to go out with me?
No, I'd be honored! A real honor. Yes. Yes
Yes, I'll be there at 10 minutes of.
So there ARE more than one
Fujii Haruko in the world.
I was wrong.
A date. A date. A date...
He's on clouds.
- Noda-san! - Yes, yes.
- Were you waiting long? - No.
I got this for you.
- Thanks! - I'll carry this for you.
Oh! It's time!
I haven't seen a movie like this in so long.
Non-chan always wants to
see cartoon festivals or Godzilla.
What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?
No, it's just that it's a little cramped.
I can move over.
It's okay. There are plenty of seats.
That's okay!
I'm sorry.
Okay, we'll just be cozy.
Can I ask you something?
What?
We...
must look like a couple in here!
Episode 6 KISS IN THE SKY
That was my first movie since I moved to Tokyo.
Thanks for treating me.
- Where to next? - Is it all right?
Isn't your son waiting?
It's okay today. Just this once, I'm going to do what I want.
Let's go for a drink!
Okay! Somewhere with a beautiful view.
My treat this time.
Just a minute.
- Don't gotta be no place fancy. - Thanks.
How much can we afford?
- Ritsu, this is salty. - Do not spit it.
Well, Haruko made it.
Ouch!
That must be Haru-san.
Oh, Yamanaka-san.
Is Haru there?
Well, she's not home yet.
She's at the parent's meeting at the nursery school.
Can I give her a message?
My parents are coming tomorrow and I'd like them to meet her.
Okay. At 1:00. Understood. Okay, see you later.
- Hey, Ritsu. - What?
Lying makes your mouth get twisted up.
I've never been to Osaka.
Really?
It's great. I'll show you some time.
Osaka Castle, Tennoji Zoo and Tsutenkaku too.
But, it's nowhere near as high as Tokyo Tower, right?
This much lower, just this much.
More like THIS much!
I hate the way people in Kansai try to show off.
Show off? I can't let that go.
So, reply honestly, who's better: Yomiuri Giants or Hanshin Tigers?
And... Does the Tsutenkaku Zoo have pandas?
Tsutenkaku Zoo?
See? You were just showing off.
- Hey, beer! - Okay.
- One big, one small. - Okay~
Tsutenkaku Zoo...?!
What?
Haruko! Haruko! Calling their mother by her first name!
All three of 'em. "Haruko! Haruko!"
Like I was their woman!
My daughter, too. She treats me like I was a good-for-nothing
- with no guts, just like trash. - How can you not get angry with her?
I've put her through too much. It's hard just to face her.
She doesn't like us seeing each other, does she?
Well...
Are you sure it's okay to be with me like this?
My daughter is very important to me. But I can't change how I feel.
Seeing you cry at Inogashira Park that day,
just convinced me more.
"I don't know what to do any more."
Why were you crying?
Did something happen?
I wasn't crying.
- I wasn't crying. - But...
I said, I wasn't crying!
- Can I ask one more thing? - What?
Why did you invite me out today?
I'm sure it's just a mistake, but...
- this guy came to the wedding hall... - I wanted to see you.
I wanted to see your face.
No, just kidding!
No, who would?
But it's a little bit true.
For some reason, I wanted to be with you.
When I'm with you, I feel like I can be honest.
Cut that out! Sighing like that!
- Like what? - Something upbeat.
- Sing! - You get rowdy when you drink, don't you?
Sing!
Oh, I know that song.
You're late, Haru-san!
- I'm back. - Good evening.
- Which way is your room? - That way.
- It's this way. - Oh, this way.
How could you drink this much?
Don't be mad.
Sometimes you just feel like drinking.
It's okay. Go to sleep.
- Okay, I'll see you. - Thank you.
What is this?
Wait! Get up! Noda-san's father!
This will be a problem.
- Are you up? - Oh, where are we?
Our house.
Don't you remember last night?
You and Haru-san came home drunk.
Oh, yeah.
I brought her home. But why did I sleep here?
Here.
Oh, this looks good! Did you make this, Ritsu?
This, too.
Oh, I can't eat fermented beans.
Hey, that apron looks good on you.
Too bad you're a man.
Thanks for the food.
I haven't seen you lately.
I'll be stopping by a lot.
I'll make you something good this Sunday, okay?
Here, I'll give you my fermented beans.
I don't want 'em.
No, you've got to.
I don't want to say this to a classmate's father,
but I don't like your going out with Haru-san like this.
I'm sorry. We won't drink that much again.
That's not what I meant!
Haru-san is getting married.
Married?
Even this apartment. It's his.
Come on, Non-chan.
Our father worked in the same company as Yamanaka-san.
He's always been good to us.
If Haru-san marries him, we won't have to worry about money or
a place to live.
If you see Haru-san, we're the ones who'll get hurt.
We won't even have a place to live!
- I'll go. - You understand, don't you?
I like you.
Better 'n him.
Thanks.
- I finished my deliveries. - Good work.
You can start delivering the evening papers, too. Be back from school at 4:00.
- Yes. - I'll be counting on you.
What are you here for?
Haru-san is seeing other men.
You remember Noda's father?
It's weird. She went out with him and got drunk.
Isn't it weird?
Why complain about it first thing in the morning?
- I'm not... - You make a good "Peeping Tom."
That's not nice for a brother to say!
I'm worried about Haru-san!
You're worried about YOURSELF!
You just want to live easy.
That's why you want her to marry Yamanaka-san. I know what you're up to.
Who wants to worry about money?!
Besides, he's a good man. He'll be good for Haru-san.
I know. That's why I don't think it's a bad idea.
- Then you... - It makes me sick, though.
What? You don't know how rough it is! Wataru! Stupid!
I'm home.
Where have you been? Leaving a helpless girl my age alone at night.
The light went out, and it was pitch-black!
- Get a new one. - Sorry.
You weren't at HER place, were you?
No!
Don't lie, now.
- I was with Tamaki from work. - Tamaki?!
Well, better go.
Are you okay?
I don't want you hanging around with his kind!
My head hurts. Oh, water, water.
"Yamanaka-san called last night." "See him at 1:00
at the wedding hall. It's urgent."
- Haruko-san. - What is so urgent?
These are my parents.
My parents are really happy.
They were afraid I'd be single all my life.
So, they had no objections to our wedding next month.
Next month?!
I've already made reservations.
Once we're married and settled in we can think about Wataru-kun
and things together.
- Here. Cake for Non-chan and Ritsu. - Thanks.
We're supposed to see the wedding coordinator now.
Do you have time? I want you to meet him.
What?
- 'Scuse me, but... - EXCUSE me, but!
Excuse me, but
could you have someone else handle this wedding?
What? What?
A new coordinator...
You're in no position to be SELECTING work.
You greet your customer with a smile, no matter how much
obnoxious they are!
If you can't do that, you shouldn't be here.
Be more firm.
- Tea? - Really...
Ow! That's hot!
- Noda-san. - Yes.
Yamanaka-san is waiting in the lobby.
- No... - Hurry up. Go!
Smile! Smile!
That's it.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This is our wedding coordinator, Noda-san.
- Do you know him? - No.
I'm Noda. Nice to meet you.
We're supposed to decide what clothes to wear.
Would you like to wear Japanese or Western attire?
- What do you think? - It doesn't really matter.
But the bride should decide, shouldn't she?
She'll remember it forever.
Yes, well,
if you have a preference between a wedding gown and a white kimono.
Which one do you want to wear?
She can think about it,
and we should set our next appointment.
more if it's next month.
First, we'll need a list of people to invite this week, if possible.
So, we'll see you again on Sunday.
- Yes. - Also,...
So then, we'll have the costume fitting on Sunday.
- I understand. That's okay with you, isn't it? - Yes.
Please make it a nice wedding.
Yes.
I've got to call the office. It'll just be a minute.
Are you going to marry him?
You were crying that day.
Why were you crying if you're marrying the right guy?
Please answer me. Haruko-san.
- I... - Haruko-san.
I'm sorry.
- What were you talking about? - Nothing, really.
I see.
Hey, this looks nice,
with orchids on the side.
Haruko?
Are you listening? This is YOUR wedding we're talking about.
- Sorry. - Do you really want to get married?
You're still wearing your first wedding ring.
I'll take it off. I can, anytime!
Really?
Yes! I'm set on it.
I've met his parents, too.
I'm almost set on the gown,
and I'm asking you about make-up and hairstyle.
Okay. You've finally realized,
that marrying him is the best.
Once you're married and the family's settled,
Wataru will come home.
You're right.
Why've you been so spacy all day?
Looking like that's never made anything good happen.
And you forgot to get the new light bulb.
Hurry up and eat. We've still gotta go take a bath...
Shut up!
Don't talk to me when I'm thinking.
Wataru, are you leaving again? I'm lonely.
Ultraman is strong, he doesn't cry.
Damn~
I'll get you an Ultraman video. How is that?
Really?
Really, Wataru?
Have I ever lied? - No!
You be good now!
I'm home.
- You're the fake Ultra 7, aren't you? - No, you are!
- I'm beaten. - Haven't you died yet?
- Wow, Wataru too, you better escape. - This guy is the fake Ultra 7.
Oh, I surrender. Non-chan, I surrender.
It's fun when everyone's together, isn't it?
You haven't eaten yet, have you, Wataru?
Ritsu, let's make chawanmushi for him.
Yeah.
Oh, right! Non-chan, here's cake.
Yea! Look!
What are you doing?
You're feeling better now, aren't you?
Don't cause us any more trouble.
I'm not!. But you are! Saying you're not going
to high school, walking out!
I just said I want to work to support you guys!
I want you to go to high school
and become a designer like you've always wanted.
Go to high school, keep playing basketball, apply to college so you can become a designer.
That's what you want, too, isn't it?
Isn't it?
For whose sake are you marrying Yamanaka-san?
For who?
If you're getting married, do it for your own sake!
Hello.
Hello?
Must have been a wrong number.
Sure.
- Oh, the cake. - Cake.
Let's get the best food,
even if it does cost more. Since everyone is coming.
This "Miyabi" menu looks good. Is it popular?
How is it?
It's popular.
- Then let's go with that. - Yes.
So, the menu is set.
Next, the flowers for the table.
I'll be wearing orchids in my hair, so maybe we can use that.
Anything you say.
That's good. O-kei is going to do my hair and make-up.
It helps to have a beautician for a friend.
Then what about the gifts?
Look at the camera, like that.
Well, the groom seems nervous...
Cut it out.
I'm going for the gown fitting.
I should be back for dinner.
Haru-san, this is the right thing to do.
Reality and ideals aren't always the same.
But once you're married, you'll be glad you did.
Think of your long-term happiness.
Now I'm getting lecture by you, too.
- I... - I know.
There's nothing to worry about.
See you, Non-chan.
- Haruko doesn't want to get married? - That's not true.
It couldn't be.
I'm sorry.
The fitting is scheduled for 2:00.
I wanted to talk to you before that.
I knew all along that you knew Haruko-san.
But I didn't know what Haruko-san's intentions were.
I'll be frank. Forget about Haruko-san.
Your boss told me you
were here on contract.
Yes.
You could be fired anytime.
You job's not that secure.
I know this is rude, but you should know
that I can take better care of
Haruko-san than you.
And
I've been in love with her, long before you knew her.
It's been 15 years now.
Please give us your blessings in marriage.
You look beautiful.
- Really? - Yes.
You look great.
- Excuse me. - Oh, I'm sorry.
But maybe I should wear this. The pearls look so nice.
Really?
But maybe this is okay, right, Yamanaka-san?
I thought the kimono would be nice,
but this looks better.
You'd look good in either one.
You're so beautiful, isn't she?
Right?
Haruko-san, I was thinking of
asking my boss or a college professor to be the go-between.
Either one's fine.
You don't mind if I decide?
- Yamanaka-sama. - Yes.
Here, this way.
Do something with those eyes.
Smile! Smile!
- Chief. - Yes.
"I wanted to see you. I wanted to see your face."
"I don't know what to do anymore."
Haruko-san, let's get your engagement ring after this.
Haruko-san!
What are you doing? Put me down!
Wait, what are you doing?
Noda! You're fired!
Get going!
Noda!
What are you trying to do? Do you know what you've done?!
You're in big trouble!
Quiet!
Where to?
- Tokyo Tower. - Tokyo tower?
You just got married?
- Yeah. - No!
Make way! Make way!
Where are you taking me?
The highest point.
Stop it!
Why are you getting married?
Answer me! Haruko-san, answer me!
That's why I brought you here.
Tsutenkaku would've been better.
When I was little, I'd go high up when I was troubled.
When I failed a test and the class teased me,
I went to the roof of the house.
I was a tough guy in junior and high school.
But whenever I got beat up,
I'd go up Tsutenkaku
I couldn't study, I lost the fight,
But from way up high, everything looked so small.
I thought I was so important.
But from above, people and
their problems look so small.
What are you trying to say?
I'm going to marry Yamanaka-san.
I have to get back.
If you aren't happy, the children won't be.
Get married for YOURSELF!
Haruko-san, do you hate me?! Would it be terrible to marry me?!
Please marry me!
I'll never do anything to make you cry. I'll take care of you forever.
Congratulations!
