I believe in you.
Chiyo...
I hope to date you with marriage in mind.
So she's your girlfriend! No wonder you want to break off our engagement.
Break off our engagement?
Chiyo, come home with me!
Wait, Chiyo!
I have to reconsider our future plans.
Chiyo!
Chiyo is pregnant with my baby. It is a shotgun wedding. So we...
Shut up!
Chiyo...
You're not feeling well?
You must get up and eat something.
It's okay. I don't want to eat.
Father, it's all a misunderstanding. Father...
Father? I will never forgive you!
Oh dear!
I'm back.
Did you have a good time with Kuyo?
You gave me a fright! Why are you alone? Where is Kuyo?
She's Chiyo!
Sorry! I did it again!
Chiyo has gone home.
Why? She isn't feeling well?
Why? Why didn't you tell me why I am engaged to Reina?
What in the world happened? Tell me!
Er... How would I know?
Have you forgotten the mistake you made? Own up! Er... How would I know?
Have you forgotten the mistake you made? Own up!
Papa, save me! Your son wants to hit me! What shall I do?
I asked everybody here to discuss Reina's problem.
Please help me. Let's begin.
The first time Rina went to your house, your mom...
Coming!
How do you do. l'm Reina. Coming!
How do you do. l'm Reina.
You must be Ryunosuke's...
Yes!
The mistaken identity incident started from there.
Then your mom...
Reina! We were just discussing you!
Really!
It's regarding your marriage.
Your mom made one mistake after another and even mentioned 'marriage'.
She's so naive!
Not only that. She invited Chiyo to the house...
She said she wanted barbecued meat. Reina is coming here?
Oh course! She's your fiancee!
She made another major mistake. That's why Reina was mistaken.
So she thought you were hers!
I see. Your fault.
It had nothing to do with me.
Your mom started it.
I object!
You object?
You shouldn't have gone to that gathering in the first place!
She's right.
You should have told Reina the truth.
I did. Several times.
It's Ryunosuke's fault!
Even you are on their side?
It is your fault.
End of meeting!
I need to go to the washroom. Time to relax.
Wait! You...
Chiyo, is it convenient to talk?
I understand why you were mistaken, yesterday.
I know the reason now, and l hope you'll listen to my explanation.
What's going on?
She's thoroughly angry.
'You have reached mailbox number...'
Calling Chiyo?
All her calls go to her mailbox.
When that happens, you shouldn't you talk in person?
Really? Yeah.
I'll have to go there.
That's overwhelmingly unfavorable.
What a headache!
What's bothering you, my sunshine?
There he goes again!
I was the one who helped you embark on your career!
You owe everything to me!
We've got the pudding ad.
The schedule is out. It's pretty tight.
We don't have much time left. Don't dwell on the artistic side.
Ryu, look at this...
We won't get any sleep from now on...
Not even a second.
'You have reached mailbox...'
SHOTGUN WEDDING 6
I'm happy with your proposal.
Really? I'm so touched.
That wasn't what l meant. I already have a boyfriend.
The tall and dark guy you saw the other day.
He's always so untidy and I have no idea when he'II pass the Bar.
His only merit is his ability to massage well.
But I don't feel like breaking up with him yet. I'm sorry.
It's all right. I don't mind your having a boyfriend.
That wasn't what I meant.
I feel so lucky.
An outstanding lady like you is still unmarried.
Aki, let's plan for our future together.
For our future?
You needn't answer me right away.
Do think it over and then tell me your decision.
What is Chiyo doing?
She sleeps all day and refuses to eat anything.
What a headache!
No need to force her. She'll eat when she's hungry.
You're right.
Must be Ryunosuke!
Coming!
l cannot let them meet.
Mr. Yamashita
Papa, it's Mr. Yamashita.
Yamashita, stop being a busybody.
Actually I...
Has Chiyo returned home?
I assume she is in a bad mood. So I bought a cake for her.
-Sorry. -Yamashita!
I'm not interested in sweet stuff!
It's not for you, it's for Chiyo.
Chiyo doesn't like sweet stuff, either.
Beautiful flowers! Where did you get them?
They were a gift.
Your tea...
Eitaro, what will| you do if l say l'm getting married?
Getting married? To whom?
Who? Someone dependable.
Must be someone other than me!
This person says he has villas in Japan, Malawi and France.
France?
And he comes from a family of doctors.
All doctors?
He was in the rowing club in school.
That's why he went boating! So he's the one.
Hmmm?
Nothing!
What should I do?
What should you do?
Cockroach! Where did it go? It was here just now.
Dr Komatsubara?
Answer?
You said you would give me time to think it over.
I did say that, but I was wondering whether you have made a decision.
I see. I haven't made a decision, yet.
I see.
But I'm happy to be able to hear your voice.
Good night.
Thank you. Good night
Idiot! It got away! Cockroaches are fast these days!
We will discuss the new schedule...
in the artistes' common room at 10 am tomorrow,
We need to discuss the filming details. Please be punctual.
Mr. Hirano, call for you.
The artistes have to be in the makeup room by 3 pm.
Is this Ryunosuke?
Eitaro? What's up?
Listen to me...
Later ... I'm at an important meeting...
Brutal.
What are you doing?
You're just listening to them, right?
Don't you have to study?
I have something to tell you.
Aki...
What's the color of the background? The color?
Are you free? No!
What about yellow?
You two are so heartless! Ah, if he's at home...
I'm afraid. What are you afraid of?
I'm really scared. I'm afraid Aki will ignore me.
You're afraid of being dumped?
I suppose so. You're afraid of being dumped?
I suppose so.
That must be it!
Although that guy isn't good looking,
he is a doctor, and he's rich, romantic and he owns castles.
Everything is perfect. And he proposed to Aki recently.
Aki didn't reject him outright!
I put up a false front because I care a lot about her.
I really love her!
But I can't bring myself to say it to her.
I couldn't even get my law license. How can I be confident of myself?
Keep this to yourself. It's a guy thing.
It's hot!
Were you listening?
You'll find a way out. I'm going home.
Why are you here, then?
Ovulation period!
I have to go!
Wait! Good evening.
Why are you here? I came to pick you up.
Greet your uncle! Uncle?
Uncle Eitaro!
Can they stay here for the night?
We want to be alone.
We hope to have a daughter.
There is no signal available at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Reina, l beg of you! Stop torturing me!
A little token...
Open it and see.
Booties? Reina...
No need to say anything. l understand how you feel, now.
What?
It can't be helped. She is pregnant.
Though we cannot be together in this life...
I hope we can be together in our next lives.
Congratulations! You have my blessing.
Whenever you feel sad, just remember my sweet smile!
I'm leaving.
What are you doing?
Director, everything is ready. We can rehearse now.
You have no messages. Thank you for your patronage.
What are you doing?
You should understand by now.
it has been 22 hours and 23 minutes.
Why isn't that man here, yet?
He doesn't take this marriage to heart at all.
That's why he didn't return. What an irresponsible man!
Papa, Chiyo isn't feeling well.
Quiet! If he really wanted to marry you, he would have come!
Even if he is busy at work, he can come in the middle of the night.
Even snow storms and typhoons shouldn't stop him.
Why isn't he here yet?
Tell me why! Why isn't he here?
You're asking me?
How would I know?
I don't know!
What's the use of crying?
It's all your fault for being so foolish!
Say no more.
If you want Ryunosuke to come, sort things out with him.
I didn't say I want him to come.
But just now, you...
There should be a limit to your jokes!
-Are you ready? -Get into position!
We aren't filming the pudding yet. Go over there.
Director, come over here! Okay, thanks.
Uh, excuse me. May I go in?
Er... yes
Thank you.
I never expected the filming to be so strenuous.
You're right.
Are you the sponsor?
Something like that.
I thought so.
You must be the company president.
Do I look like a president?
You're here to keep an eye on them?
It's obvious you're the company president.
You have the disposition.
Really?
My boyfriend is inside.
See that guy wearing a cap?
The honest-looking guy beside him.
He is honest.
Yes. I brought a bento for him.
He hasn't slept the entire night.
He saw me!
Takumi, this is for you.
Thank you.
Take care of your health. Work hard.
I have to get to work.
I'lI go up and take a look. That's it.
Go and get the model.
He is tall. Can he get in?
Say it with more feeling. Look happy that you have so many of them.
More feeling!
So, about Reina...
There's never been anything between them.
I was too anxious.
Too anxious?
I'm really sorry. I was too careless.
Please, don't do this. Please get up.
This is great! It's a great relief to me!
Really?
Of course!
Do you hate me for it?
Of course not!
That's great!
Simply great! I'm always getting into such trouble.
My husband was always angry with me for that.
My mother-in-law's name is Mitsurumi, but I keep calling her Mitsu.
I have no idea why the wrong name comes out of my mouth all the time.
That's one reason I never got along well with my in-laws.
However, I won't let such a thing happen to us, Kuyo
I'm Chiyo, but...
I will take note of it. Regarding Ryunosuke...
He's been so busy that he hasn't returned home.
He's so busy?
He is always like that.
Once he's set on doing something, he will forget everything.
But, he certainly hasn't forgotten you.
He treasures your relationship and love.
I'm sure of that.
I'm sorry. He's very busy now. Please wait just a little longer.
Okay, Kuyo?
A little on this side...
Like this? Too much on the side.
Turn back. Like this? Too much on the side.
Turn back.
OK, stop! We can start filming now.
We shall begin now. Please give me your guidance.
Chiyo...
Sis, Misato...
You're still in a bad mood?
Are you okay?
Dr. Komatsubara proposed to you?
Something like that. He wants to plan our future together.
Actually, at Aki's age, she should consider getting married.
That's right.
What about Eitaro, then?
I tried many times to sound him out, but to no avail.
As usual, he continued with his clownish ways.
Why won't he tell me not to marry Dr. Komatsubara?
Men are just...
What's the matter?
Why won't he sort things out with me personally?
No matter what his mother says, the feeling is different.
He should explain it to me, himself.
Perhaps Dad is right.
If he wanted to marry me,
he would come to me even if there was a snowstorm or typhoon.
Dad said that?
What is he doing?
That's right.
Just one sentence will do.
I feel sorry for you. I'm the only happy one.
I seem to have woken up from my dream.
Not allowed to leave the house? How did you know?
Misato told me.
You saw her?
If you had time for that, you should have finished your job.
The master tape is ready. Please go through it.
Misato found me and asked me to tell you about it.
Really?
She said Chiyo will wait for you to go and bring her home.
Are you listening to me?
Come, quick!
I can't put my work aside at this moment.
Is the pudding ad really so important?
I'll see you when I have time.
Chiyo...
Where are you going?
To the hospital. I have to go for a checkup.
See you.
Dad, perhaps I've never been serious about anything throughout my life.
No matter what happens, I will give birth to this baby.
Even if I don't marry Ryunosuke, I won't change my mind.
Chiyo! Yes?
Wait!
Take this.
Dad, this is an umbrella.
Open it.
Take it to the hospital.
It's hot in here.
Ryunosuke hasn't gone to see Chiyo?
I don't think so.
What's the matter with that guy?
You're right. If he drags on, Chiyo might dump him!
Right! You're right. If he drags on, Chiyo might dump him!
Right!
Men who sweet-talk are unreliable.
What women want is for their men to show concern for them.
Aki, what are you trying to say?
Nothing in particular.
Let me tell you. l'm trying my best.
If you want to try your best, then change your ways! Let me tell you. l'm trying my best.
If you want to try your best, then change your ways!
Consider what you want to do in future. Am I right?
Why are you so worked up?
Your shoulder aches? You've been tired, lately?
No need. Go back.
I'm very busy. I have lots of work to do, unlike a loafer like you.
This is great! The baby is growing well.
Look, it has grown bigger.
That's right.
Do you still have your handbook?
Handbook?
Fill out this form and bring it back, next time.
Excuse me.
Okay.
(Expectant Mother's Full Name) (Address)
Kotani Chiyo
There is plenty of Duoduo Pudding!
I still feel the punch line isn't strong enough.
Rewind.
There is plenty of Duoduo Pudding!
Lower the first part by 3 degrees and the second part by 7 degrees.
OK
There is plenty of...
Duoduo Pudding!
OK!
It has been hard on you.
It's finally done!
Ryu!
Chiyo?
Sorry.
For what?
I had intended to stop by after the assignment was completed, for sure.
During my stay back home, I felt so helpless.
I felt very lonely, too.
Sorry.
But, you know...
It doesn't matter to me anymore, now.
What?
Though my baby can't move or talk, yet,
he is definitely in here.
He seems to be a rope tying the two of us together.
It was on my mind when I was at work.
What was?
I wanted to see you.
I was thinking about you.
I planned to see you once my job was done.
That's why I worked hard to finish quickly.
So, how is it?
What do you mean?
Have you finished it?
I don't think it'II sell.
Why not?
But it's quite fun. There is plenty of Duoduo Pudding!
Sounds like selling dim sum.
I like this job.
Look!
I was a little nervous because I'm not married.
Now I've got this.
Let me see it.
What are you doing?
Hirano Chiyo
Are you ready?
I'm going to dial.
Go ahead.
Sorry. Go ahead and dial.
Calm down.
The Kotani residence...
Chiyo? What happened to you? I was worried because you are so late?
Ryunosuke?
I see. That's great!
Your father?
She says he's there.
Mom, I have something to tell Dad.
Hold on. Papa, ...
Chiyo and Ryunosuke want to talk to you together.
They have something important to tell you.
They will be here at 11 pm.
How about it?
No problem. No response means he's agreeable. Come, quick!
I know. Bye!
It's done!
Really? I'm not dressed for the occasion.
It's okay. We are going there straight from the office.
Really? Then, let's go.
Eitaro? What's the matter?
Aki is really angry this time.
What's the matter?
It's good that Chiyo is here, too.
Chiyo?
Why are you here?
I asked Takumi where you were.
Takumi? Huh? Why?
What happened to Sis?
She wants to get married.
Married?
Surely she isn't marrying Dr. Komatsubara?
What shall I do?
How would we know? Why don't you think of something?
I wanted to discuss it with you, but you were busy.
Sorry. We have something we have to...
You two are so heartless! I sacrificed so much because of you.
For the sake of your happiness, I organized meetings to help you.
I listened to your complaints, too. Am I not good enough?
No! You should know what is most important at this moment.
You're right.
Dad is waiting for us. You're right.
Dad is waiting for us.
You're right.
Let's go!
How could you abandon me like this!
We mustn't be soft hearted!
Definitely not! Absolutely no turning back!
So, I have decided to marry Dr. Komatsubara.
Sis, is this really what you want?
You know, Eitaro, we are in a hurry. Stop beating about the bush.
Sit down and have a good talk with her.
You two have been together for so long.
That's right. How can you break up just like that?
Precisely! How can we break up just like that?
It's better for you to talk it over by yourselves.
Sorry. We have to go.
Your tea is ready. Please stay.
I hate it when he does this!
You need others to give you moral support when it is your problem.
He's always like that!
I was unhappy at work at 22. At 24, I quit my job and felt helpless.
At 25, my complexion started to go downhill, and my friends all got married.
At 27, I was working hard and at 28, I decided to go abroad for studies, but gave it up for you.
We are always quarreling.
Aki...
l'm envious of Chiyo and Ryunosuke.
Maybe it's a little crazy to get married because she is pregnant,
but at the very least, they have a common goal.
And they are working hard towards their goal.
Ryunosuke has started to change for the better, too.
You're the only one who never changes!
That's why I decided to marry Dr. Komatsubara.
He isn't like you. I need a man who plans for the future.
Papa, wait a little longer.
Maybe they missed the train, or something.
There are phones in the stations.
Or, Chiyo could be feeling ill.
Hospitals have phones, too.
Yes, well...
Police stations have phones, too.
This is great! Only the two of us.
They have to sort it out themselves.
Are you okay? You said you shouldn't run.
I can't bother about that now. We must hurry up.
Ugh...
Hey!
Hurry up. What's the matter?
Chiyo, I feel dizzy. I haven't slept for days.
Ryunosuke...
I'll be okay, just give me a minute.
Are you okay?
Where are you going? To have my dinner!
Ryunosuke, are you all right? Wake up!
Wake up, Ryunosuke!
Ryunosuke! Are you okay? ...
