I cannot marry Chiyo.
Without your consent, I don't think Chiyo and I can be happy together.
I don't think I can be a good father.
Happy birthday.
Thank you. I'll cherish it.
I sold the car...
No way!
Sorry I kept you waiting.
It's okay.
You've given up?
I announced it to everybody. They're happy and envious of me.
And this ring...
Oh, yes...
They're so cute and I couldn't keep myself from buying them.
When you're free, let's go shopping for baby's stuff together.
We don't know if it's a girl or a boy, yet.
I found a restaurant that I like very much.
If we can celebrate it there, it'II be great.
This isn't the time to consider these things.
I want to get married and celebrate but there are other things to settle.
Like what?
Problems with your father, for example.
Oh, Dad.
I think l should talk to him again.
He'll throw you out again.
Yes, but...
Just ignore him and see how he reacts.
Mom said his leg has healed. He's back on his feet.
If we keep quiet and not bother about him, he'll get anxious.
He followed me around at one time when I was in high school.
I was home late once, and he trailed me to the school club.
That sounds so impossible. I was home late once, and he trailed me to the school club.
That sounds so impossible.
You don't believe it?
He trailed you? A guy wouldn't do such a thing.
It's true. He may look tough and fierce, and have a loud voice.
Still, he can do that sort of thing.
That's impossible!
It's true!
You're pulling my leg.
Can I get you a drink?
Coffee.
Iced coffee or hot coffee?
Iced coffee.
Chiyo, I'll carry it.
Thanks.
Is it convenient if I go to your place this weekend?
Your mom called me. She's going away and you'll be alone.
She asked me to spend the weekend at your place.
Are you busy?
No, I'm free this Saturday.
So I can come over?
No problem.
Could it be that you're shy?
Of course not.
Why don't you answer it?
It's work.
Then you should answer it.
I'll call Reina later.
Reina?
It's me, Reina. I'm so happy today, so I called you.
Let's walk home. The weather's great!
There is a woman called Reina, but Ryunosuke...
She exists!
Yes, she exists, but...
Unbelievable!
Terrible.
That bum.
Brother shouldn't have!
I envy him.
Where did they meet?
At a social gathering.
Social gathering?
It was a social gathering of buxom ladies.
Oh, big breasts!
How old is she?
About 25, I guess.
More mature than me.
What is she?
A model.
What type?
But, Chiyo is much sweeter.
You're totally different.
She's a beauty! No... You're totally different.
She's a beauty! No...
Her figure?
How do I say it...big.
Bigger than mine! No comparison.
That sexy?
A model... 25, that sexy... Reina?
She's of mixed blood??
It's not what you think!
Aki, that night...
Chiyo, are you okay? Oh, sorry.
It's you!
Reina was there?
That wasn't Reina.
There's someone else?
I saw him a few days ago.
"I'll throw her out. She can't marry the man I love".
But... I don't think she was Reina.
There are two other girls besides Reina.
Not just two, but three!
My brother is too much. I'm very sorry.
I told you it's no good!
This is my work.
This is not feasible! I have no regrets dumping it.
Not again.
Acting is an art! Ability, personality, art!
If you have time to have babies, come up with more ideas.
He never stops nagging.
Stop. Where are you going?
I got a dressing-down because of you.
This concept.
Ryunosuke, l'm very sorry.
Don't take me so seriously.
No matter what happens, don't blame me. I did all I could.
I know, don't fuss.
Ryunosuke...
What now? You're a pain.
Before you get married, settle your other relationships.
To think there're are three girls.
Three?
Shotgun Wedding 5
I told her it was just nice.
While l'm away, you can enjoy time together like newlyweds.
What are you talking about?
You'll both be living here, sooner or later.
Who told you that?
You're going to rent a room? Do you have money?
You need money for the baby. Kuyo has quit her job.
It's Chiyo.
Relax, your mom gets along well with everybody.
But does she want to live with you?
Oh, yes, you have to settle the problem with Reina soon.
She got the wrong idea. I'm innocent.
What should I wear? I'm so excited about the tour.
Are you going with a guy?
Will I get a chance to find another man?
Drat! You shouldn't have said that in front of your dad.
She's so excited.
Reina
Is this Reina...
Chiyo, what are you doing?
She's very troubled.
I envy you girls.
Takumi asked me if I'd like to take a walk in the park this weekend.
He said it would be the beginning.
Aren't you already close?
At least you're dating.
I haven't had a date with Eitaro for ages.
Is that why you went out with that doctor?
I didn't know about that!
Let's change the subject. I feel so warm!
Sis, should I spend the night at Ryunosuke's place?
His mom asked me to go. But when I think of Reina...
You must go. If you go, you'll be the ...
... first wife.
First wife?
You mustn't be defeated by the mistress.
So what if she's a model! You're sweet and adorable.
Though you're a little thick at the waist, now.
And, you can't wear a bikini...
And, you're acting a little strange.
This is the time men can get involved in an affair, but...
Affair?!
But it's okay.
No woman can take him away.
Just think of this, "Ryunosuke sold his car and bought the ring for me".
"I'm the one he wishes to marry".
Cheer up. No need to worry.
Just think of yourself as his wife.
His wife?
You don't have to do anything. Your body will naturally show it.
Kazumasa, how do you handle that when she's pregnant?
Don't touch her. Control yourself.
It might scare the child. "Oh! What is that?!"
You mean Chiyo?
No, the baby in her tummy.
Oh, the baby...
It can see?...I mean the baby.
So, how is it? It can see?...I mean the baby.
So, how is it?
I'm not too sure myself.
You have so many kids and you're not sure?
We've never done it during ovulation.
What?
Ippei was conceived the third time we did it.
Jiro, the fifth, and Santai, the first. Just once and we struck oil.
You're a steed kept as a stud?
We need to work harder since we want to have a daughter.
What do you have to do to get a daughter?
This month.. Look. We have it calculated. Isn't she a good wife?
Kept in the dark.
Pardon?
Oh, nothing.
Chiyo is pregnant.
For the child's sake, you can't touch her.
But what does it matter since there are three persons? For the child's sake, you can't touch her.
But what does it matter since there are three persons?
To think there are three!
More Chilli.
Should I take precautions?
It's Ryunosuke!
Come with me.
What should I do? If she shows up suddenly, it'll be a real headache.
Make the call.
Why do I have to be troubled by this?
I'm Reina. Leave your message
I've told you I'm getting married and am going to have a baby.
Please, don't look for me again. Goodbye.
And...on the weekend...
I'm off!
Chief, this reminds me of those days when I was working under you.
I'm very happy.
Stop chattering.
Sorry. No talking when we're on duty.
Keep a close watch! Yes!
Right here.
Chiyo...
She's here.
Chiyo, you're so...
Got your message. What's this about a baby?
Chief, is that your daughter?
It's not!
So, I told you I'm getting married.
You poor thing. Just because of the baby? So, I told you I'm getting married.
You poor thing. Just because of the baby?
No... Yes... That's the consequence... but...
It's not really like that at all.
Got it! Just leave it to me. l'll settle it with her.
That's not how it is... You're causing trouble for me.
Don't be shy about accepting my help.
I'm not being shy! Reina, please understand.
Chiyo! Now, what am I going to do?
We're here!
Why are you here?
Who is she?
She's ... Reina!
You're getting married!
Shut up!
Oh dear, isn't Chiyo coming?
It's not time yet
Chiyo! It's not time yet
Chiyo!
She's here. Help me, please.
It's the first time, I'm begging you.
I want a microwave oven.
Anything you want.
OK, leave it to me!
Go over there.
Get up...
Give it to me!
Coming.
Get a grip, get a grip...
Welcome.
Sorry to impose on you.
You're so early.
Thank you.
Looks very interesting.
It's a great feeling...
Er...yes...
I've been looking forward to it,
strolling in the park with the one I love.
My grandpa said this...
Uh, what did he say?
If two people really love each other a romantic atmosphere isn't essential.
As long as long as they can be together, it's happiness.
They understand each other even though no words are spoken.
This is the person God has given you.
Misato, l'm so happy to be with you like this.
Misato, are you okay?
I have a terrible headache. My heart hurts.
Misato, you can't do this. You're not supposed to use your charm.
I'm not using my charm. I feel terribly warm.
I'm so tired.
What are you doing there?
Ack! Why are you here?
I'm just here.
You've been following them!
A grown man doing such a thing.
I'm curious about that comic character.
To think Aki likes that kind of guy makes me want to puke.
Why?
You have only yourself to blame.
Oh, nothing
Don't you feel tired?
Not at all! I used to compete in races.
I see.
Holding oars in your hands rouses your spirit.
Miss Aki, would you like to visit my silkworm garden?
It's very cooling and beautiful.
Your silkworm garden?
The villa at Karuizawa will be even better.
Maybe we'll even meet Princess Michiko.
Princess Michiko?
If you wish to go abroad Colombia is fine.
What is it called? Yes, the Mederik family bought it.
If we could travel together, it'd be like a dream.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Are you from a very rich family?
No... I spend the interest I get every year.
He's very wealthy!
Aki, will you go to an even better place with me?
Will you come with me?
Yes.
Is she going to keep it from me?
How long is he going to sit there, watching?
He should spend his time studying.
He's a doctor.
What did you say? He's a doctor?
Masayuki, how is it?
She's left.
What if she comes back?
It's okay? You've convinced her?
Got it. Thank you so much.
What's that? You want a fridge, too?
Doctor, what is it?
l think it should be all right. It's been 12 weeks.
But, it still bothers me.
What's bothering you?
It's...
Never mind! It's hard for me to tell someone as innocent as you.
Let's go.
What is he up to?
Chiyo... What's the matter?
Huh?
You seem listless.
I'm fine.
Not feeling well? It's really hot. Lie down here for a while.
No, I'm okay.
You're okay?
Ryunosuke, I have a question.
What is it?
It's this.
Yes?
Sis and Misato were talking about it.
They said l wasn't the first wife.
I'm the sort who doesn't feel good until things are clarified.
I understand.
I don't like being kept in the dark.
I simply don't like it. Do you get it?
I can understand why the other party should behave in that manner.
You're understanding and easy to talk to,
Though you're good looking you don't act cool.
Some girls may be attracted to those good points you possess.
But you're still partly responsible and that troubles me.
What are you trying to say?
I'm saying...
Hello, Ryunosuke? It's me.
Why do you sound like that? It's me, Mom.
Oh, Mom, it's you! Mom!
OK, I'll remember to water the plants.
Chiyo is here. Okay ... bye!
That was Mom.
Why are you so nervous?
Naw, it's nothing.
Who is it?
Aki.
What is it?... ...Doctor.
Isn't she your daughter? What a crowd!
Aki told me you'd be staying here tonight. Is that right?
Yes.
That's to say... I'm a doctor, and from a medical point of view...
Father-to-be, I want a word with you.
If you want to do it... I don't mean anything bad...
But it might happen. As I understand, you've been staying apart.
It's been 12 weeks, so there's no problem.
Just do it as usual, but still, as a precaution,
try your best not to be too intense.
I came specifically to tell you this.
That's what it is about.
As her doctor, I couldn't rest easy until I'd told him.
What did you talk about?
I'm not Ittetsu.
We've been discovered. Let's go.
What's wrong, Chief?
Sorry to have disturbed you. Come with her to the follow-up visit.
We're going. Bye.
That's what brought you here?
It's for the parents' and baby's sakes.
Damn, who is that bum?
Who is he? I don't know.
Oh, hello.
Is this okay?
You mean...
I don't have a choice.
Why are you hiding here, scumbag?
Sorry! Why are you hiding here, scumbag?
Sorry!
How do you do, I'm Yamashita!
I can't seem to settle down, today.
You're the only one who feels that way.
Why do you say that?
You seem worried about something.
Why should I be worried when I didn't do anything wrong?
Anything wrong?
Oh, nothing.
Chiyo, do you know something?
I've noticed you're very like your dad in this respect.
How can that be possible?
When you've found a person's weakness, you keep probing.
Even the look in your eyes is the same.
As if it was all my fault.
It is your fault.
There, like that.
Looks like it's my fault, now.
Yes? There. I'm right! They called just now.
Don't you know what I'm talking about?
Chiyo, I'm very sorry. I didn't expect this.
Great! This is my lucky break!
Which coat should I wear? This, or this?
This makes me look more serious.
What's wrong?
I was going to ask you the same thing.
You still don't understand?
After all the hard work, Ekachiri finally said OK.
What's Ekachiri?
The name of a company.
I may be home late tonight. Sorry about that.
Go home if you don't wish to stay. You'll be bored here.
You want me to go home? I came here to keep you company.
Chiyo, forgive me.
What do you mean?
Well...
You're really going to work?
Of course.
You have to dress up for work?
It's an important presentation.
I came over hoping to have a good chat with you.
But you couldn't settle down and kept walking about.
You didn't pay attention to anything I said.
And now, you're telling me to go home. That's too much!
Chiyo, this is work.
Now, you're saying it's work!
Isn't it for love that we are together?
I quit my job for the baby's sake.
I changed my lifestyle for the baby's sake.
I've lived for 20 years to be a mother.
You have regrets now?
I don't regret it,
but, l hope you'll accept me completely.
I'll feel insecure if you don't.
I've even lost the confidence to have the child.
I understand.
We'll talk about it when I come back.
No! I want you to stay!
I'm upset and don't want to be here alone.
Stop being difficult.
It won't last forever. Trust me a little more.
If you can't trust me, how can we be together,
much less get married?
I have to go. I'm running late.
Chief, he's left the house.
I'll stay here. You follow him.
I'll be producing the commercial for your product.
I'm Ryunosuke Hirano.
The focus will be on the name of the product.
Milk is its main ingredient.
The product's name is Just Nice. The stress is on the name.
Add the word pudding behind Just Nice and we have a name
that's easy to remember.
This is the concept.
Don't be difficult. This is work.
Is it work.
This is what you'll see in the commercial.
It begins with the bouncing sound of the pudding...
followed by chants of "just nice".
It'II leave a deep impression on consumers.
The actors in the commercial are well known...
Isn't it for love that we're together?
If you don't trust me,
how can we be together,
much less get married?
For the baby's sake, I quit my job.
For the baby's sake, I changed my lifestyle.
I've lived for 20 years to be a mother.
Chiyo?
Where are you?
Still at your place.
You're still there?
Yes.
I don't have the keys. A burglar, could break into the house.
Why are you laughing?
I'm not laughing.
I'm still at the office.
I'll come home. Wait for me.
I don't know. If I can't wait. I'll go home.
Don't go home.
Please trust me.
Work hard. Give your best.
Chief, sorry to disturb you.
Just lying down for a while. How's the situation?
He didn't go out to fool around. He worked all night in the office.
He really was at work?
Yes. He really was at work?
Yes.
I'm home.
You're home.
Good heavens.
She didn't come home, last night.
My shoulders are aching.
Eitaro!
Why are you sleeping here?
Were you feeling down last night? You drank so much.
Aki don't leave me.
Coming.
Good morning.
Dr. Komatsubara, what is it?
There's something I have to tell you.
Something's happened to Chiyo?
No, no... uh...
After you got home yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about you.
Will you go on seeing me with a view to marriage?
Is it Ryunosuke?
You are... It's you!
Comic Character.
Such a peaceful morning.
So peaceful that it can be frightening.
l though't about it for a long time last night.
About what?
Maybe we shouldn't rush into marriage.
If we really love each other, it doesn't matter when we get married.
I understand. I trust you.
Chiyo...
I don't have to answer it.
Quick! Wait for me.
What's going on?
Stop! I can't run. The baby!
What's going on?
Oh, no way!
This girl is Miss Reina.
She won't go home until she's seen you.
Sorry, Ryunosuke.
I'm so sorry Miss Chiyo, sorry.
It's all my fault.
You don't have to apologize to me. There's nothing between us.
After seeing Chiyo, I finally understood.
You've finally understood! That's great.
I told you I didn't do anything wrong.
You have such a girlfriend!
No wonder you want to break off our engagement.
Break off the engagement?
What is this about?
It's a misunderstanding. There is nothing between us.
But, your mom often invited me to your place because she had that in mind.
She told me to get prepared to take the marriage vows.
Marriage vows?
I said it's a misunderstanding.
You've taken the marriage vow.
Want me to take a look at you?
Ryunosuke, she's pregnant, too?
That's absolute nonsense.
That's not how it is, is it?
You can ask your mother. She likes me very much.
I can chat with her for hours. She suggested having a barbecue.
A barbecue?
Chiyo!
Come home with me.
Chiyo, let's go
Chiyo, wait!
l'll think carefully about the future.
Chiyo.
