Sanma no aji (An Autumn Afternoon) (1962)

Come in.
You may deal with it in a while and take this to Chang Wu.
OK.
I'm so sorry.
It doesn't matter.
What's wrong with Taguchi?
He has been resting for these two days.
It is said that he's got to be married.
So it means he wants to resign?
I don't know.
If it's so we should cheer it up.
How old is he?
Hey, he must be twenty three or twenty four years old.
Twenty three or twenty four.
What is your husband's occupation?
I'm not married yet.
Are you? Not married.
There are only two people in family, my father and I.
Oh, I see. You should get a husband sooner or later.
If you meet a good one it will be wonderful.
Please come in.
Ah.
What's the matter?
I've just arrived at the Yokohama.
Oh? Did your wife get angry last time?
No, she didn't. And she even thought it interseting.
Really? Drinks make people talk much.
Yes, that's right.
How old is your kid?
What for? 24 years old.
There's a good guy and you may want to consider this.
For what?
Matchmaker, of course!
My wife heard of him and he may be interesting about your kid.
He's got a good background and is staying in the university for the practice.
He's about 29 years old.
Yes, sure he is. So...what do you think of this?
Hey, I'm talking to you!
Have any matchmakes come here?
No, they hasn't. We haven't thought about this.
Have you?
She doesn't have that intention either. She's still a kid and has no sense of women.
You're wrong. She has the sense and surely has.
Has she?
Yes, she has. So just try and that guy is really good.
Oh? Horie has just called that he the meet arranged at Classmate's Meeting.
When?
Tonight, at Fang Song. He will also call you.
He has more energy since he was remarried.
Maybe he has been taking the Viagra.
Perhapse.
Since we've talked of the kid, please think it over.
Hey, how about tonight? Is that OK?
No, thers wil be the baseball game between Da Yang and Bai Shen tonight.
I come here just for this.
You may watch the game next time.
No, this is the most important night. I've got no spare time for you guys.
Please, go, let's go.
No, no, sorry I can't.
You can! Let's go.
No, no, not today.
It is Number 4 Kuwata who starts the attack at the fourth round of the second half.
It is Number 4, Kuwata.
It is Number 4, Kuwata.
A short ball first.
This is the second time.
Kuwata from Sang Yuan.
Waving his stick with confidence.
The cather from Bai Shen is Gu Chuan.
The first ball is straight and fast.
Kuwata didn't strike and is waiting for the good chance now.
And...
...the second one is a little left...sorry to keep you waiting.
Now there's a good ball and a bad one.
Kuwata who is waving the stick seems to be waiting for the third.
The third, a little higher.
Ah, is that all?
Where did you see Guan Jing?
In the trolley-bus. There's a strange man...
...who is collecting the waste newspaper.
He seemed familiar with me and I finally remembered he was Hyoutan.
Hyoutan was not young any more.
I thought he had been dead.
It is difficult for him to pass away, and it won't be that easy.
Even someone wants to kill him and he won't die.
Are you still angry with him?
His chinese language has been taunted by that guy.
What he has done is beyond of me too far, but past just passed.
So we should go for him.
If he comes, I will not appear.
Please don't do that, this Classmate's Meeting is held especially for him.
If you don't come it will be boring. Come on and join in us.
Yes, come on.
No, no.
Which side will win?
They're still in tie. 0:0, this is warm.
Hey.
Is this a empty bottle? Yes.
Mr Horie, it's late and why has your wife not come?
Hey.
What, is Cai Zi coming? Hey, she is.
Coming? Hey, yes.
I'm now with the friends, and I will be there soon.
You're really young and beautiful.
Thanks.
Do you take Cai Zi wherever you go these days?
Hey, almost.
Did you take it? What?
That one.
No, I don't need that till now and I won't need it.
Landlady, how?
What?
That one.
He's wondering if you have let your husband take that, medicine, something about that.
Ah, damn you, so I wanna go now.
How? Hey.
But...just talk about it here.
What?
Tell me the truth.
What?
Though I'm not boasting but it's really good.
What?
Young! It's easy to get along with each other.
Why do you so pride?
Tell you the truth, it's true.
How many years olds is he with your daughter's difference?
Three, it's not a problem.
You are so lucky.
Of course, I'm so happy! So, it is the third life and you too.
Me? Is that so good?
Let it be. You have been very good like that all the time. You should consider your daughter's marriage.
But...I'm telling the truth.
I've understood that clearly.
Just have a talk here.
Mr Jue Jing, your wife is here.
Oh?
Please.
Here.
How? Have you met with your friends?
Hey.
Come up.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Long time no see, everyone.
How are you doing recently?
Hey.
Come up.
Please, please sit down.
OK.
Have you bought what you planned?
Hey.
How's that? Do you want to sit down?
That..I think.
Is it? Are you leaving? Did you get the medicine for me?
Hey.
So take it out and drink now.
What medicine?
It's Vitamin.
Vitamin? Hey.
Go home and have a rest.
You're right, so, excuse me.
Excuse me, I'm leaving now.
How about Classmate's association?
Leave it to you and do carefully.
Please excuse me.
Please take care of yourself.
You know I come here and give up my baseball game.
The night game is not a good one.
Where is your supper?
I willl have it at home.
So, see you.
Put the opinions away, whatever they are.
How did it come to that? Stupid.
Hey.
I don't want to be like that and it makes me sick.
Is it Ok now?
Ok.
Welcome home. I'm back!
Oh, your smell is too bad.
Didn't you drink too much, did you?
Dad, did you see the brother?
Has he come?
He's just gone back.
What for?
Nothing. He took this, sweet ring, only one left.
Oh?
I'm back! I'm back!
Dad, do you want some Cha Pao Fan?
No, thanks.
So I want some...ah
Miss Fu Ze won't come from tomorrow.
Why?
Her elder brother's wife passed away and she will go back to countryside.
Oh? Did she get someone else?
Fu Ze said she had told Jia Dai.
He seems not like a good person.
So that will make me headache.
It doesn't matter. It will be fine if all the pepole can come.
But, we will get up early and Xiao Ze will do too.
I may come slowly, 'cause tomorrow is my holiday.
Mine will start at tomorrow noon too.
So that's only me left.
When I go out, you should do some cleaning and I cannot bear so messy!
Dad, if you come back late, remenber to call first.
So is with Xiao Ze. Or you'll have nothing to eat when you're back.
Sister, where are my trousers? That grey one, can you find it for me?
In the cabinet on the second floor, go and look for it yourself.
What has Hong come for?
I don't know.
You can make a phone call, and he should be at home now.
I'm back.
You're so late.
I've gone to the father's. Are you early today?
Not very early, what did dad say?
He's not at home. Is that right?
This is what Michiko give back to you.
Ah, foriegn goods, is it beautiful?
I don't know and I will go to the father's again.
So that's ok.
Mr Shan Kun.
Who is that?
The third floor, Our upstairs.
Oh, Consonancy Life Insurance.
Hey, his wife has been in hospital all along.
Really? Why?
She's out now and has a lovely baby, it's a boy.
Oh, a baby.
It is said that the baby's name is Koichi.
I wanna change the name.
It doesn't matter, Koichi.
Why?
It's not a good name at all. If the baby grow up like you, he will have a poor life.
So one Koichi is enough.
Do you want some grapes? I bought them on my way back.
Leave those torrow, I want to sleep, pave the quilt.
Wait but I still want some.
Do it yourself.
Refrigerator, it seems great for me to settle up once and has some extra discount.
Please come in.
Ah.

What news?
Marriage, about you, this one seems good.
No.
Your father didn't say anything?
I have no idea with him, sigh.
What do you think of this, do you want to get married?
How? What about this?
But...if I get married, my family will get a headache.
Why?
I don't know, but they are sure to have a headace.
But they cannot always avoid this just because of the trouble.
If that's so you will not get married.
That doesn't matter, even I don't get married.
No, that won't happen.
You will become an old woman, and you would really become the trouble.
You may find a chance to ask your father about this.
Please come in.
Miss Hirayama.
has your father talked of going to the Classmate's meeting today?
Yes.
Realy?
Ah.

So what did happen then?
He wrote love letters to the pupil of senior high school.
And he was seen by the Lion.

Sigh, he's passed away and he is a good guy.

You are good luck.
Where's you children? Is that you daughter right before?
She has a sister, has married.

Do you have any worry, Captain?
I had a rough time, too.
Luckily came in the company with a sir's help.
But captain, what about if Japan win?

One more cup, bring the whole bottle.
If Japan win, captain, we now would be at NEW-YORK, NEW-YORK.
Not the store name, but NEW-YORK city in US.
Really? Of course.
Yes. Hey.
Because the failure, nowadays youngsters adore foreign things.
Listening the records, fruging their ass.
If we won, if we won.
Make the blue-eyes guys, became warrior head.
Chawing the gums.
Look like a drowned mouse.
But it's better instead of failure, isn't it?
Is it true? Hum, maybe.
Then those fools can't show their authority any more.

Thanks.

And I forgot her marriage age, my wife passed away.
I failed, what a shame!
Ah, excuse me.
Are you leaving now?
Hey.
It's still early and have more.
Oh? That's OK.
You should drink more when you are in good mood.
Don't consider too much, cheers.
Teacher, teacher.
Let him sleep, Hyoutan is lonely too.
Hey.
You will be like this if you don't care it.
No, I...
If Miss Michiko become the woman of Hyoutan, what will happen?
She won't.
Maybe, so she should get married soon.
If you are like Hyoutan, that will make me headache.
Ah? Hyoutan, where are we?
Teacher, just have a sleep, I will take you back home.
Oh? Mr Kawai?
Think it over.
Hey.
Dad?
I'm back.
Don't lock the door, Xiao Ze hasn't come back.
Welcome home.
What's the matter?
I...
What's the matter?
Don't you want to get married?
Ah?
Don't you want to get married?
What are you talking about?
I'm serious, really serious.
Dad, you got drunk again, didn't you?
Though I drank some, yet I'm really serious.
Some? Maybe not. What makes you think of that?
Why, many affairs, come here.
Wait a monment, it'll be ok soon.
Dad has thought a lot about this, come here.
But you will get worried after I leave.
Worried? It doesn't matter, you should get married, and you're 24 years old.
Yes, but it's still a long time.
Though it's a long time now, but you will get old sooner or later.
Dad depends you so much, I'm so sorry.
So what shall I do then?
Dad, I don't want to get married and I won't either.
Don't you think so, Dad?
What's the matter?
I will be fine just as I am now.
Why? That won't happen.
Will that?
If I leave, what about Dad and Xiao Ze?
We'll find a way.
What way? What way? There's no way.
Dad when did you start to think about this?
Don't you have any decision to get married?
I didn't say I won't get married, and I mean I have no decision now.
Some friends of mine have been married.
And they even have babies now.
So what about you?
Don't talk about this any more, I just want to keep all like this.
Dad also thinks this is good for you now.
But you can't keep all like this.
Dad has thought...
...since you've thought, you shouldn't be self-assertive
I'm not self-assertive.
Yes, you are.
Michiko, Michiko.
I'm back, sister, can I lock the door?
Yeah, you can.
Dad, you've come back.
Yes.
Where's sister? Here.
Sister, I want something to eat.
What's wrong, Dad?
Ze Xiong. Hey?
Does your sister have someone she likes?
Perhapse.
Really?
I don't know about her, but I have now.
You have?
Yes, her name is Qingshui Duomei.
Oh, where is she from?
Thought I don't know that now, we often chat with each other.
What is she?
Ticket-seller on the everyday bus.
She's not tall, squabby and lovely.
Oh?
Sister, I want something to eat.
Do it yourself in kitchen.
Why?
Just do it yourself.
I'm back.
It's late, what can you do for your dinner?
There are hams in the refrigerator, and you can cook Hams And Eggs.
I bought some hamburger too.
Has the rice been put in the boiler?
Yes, it'll be OK soon.
During the noon spare time Michiko came to the company.
What for?
She said that her father wanted her to be married.
Who is that guy?
But, if Michiko gets married now, won't it be convenient for dad?
So what's her decision on earth?
Michiko said so too.
Then Michiko should have no such a decision.
I don't know.
But dad mentions it every day.
Michiko feels boring.
He always asks who that guy is.
I heard it's Mr Kawai that introduces this guy, and dad has seen him.
He looks good.
Isn't Michiko satisfied?
She just has no attention on this.
Ask her whether she wants to get married? But she seems not.
What does she mean?
I'm not very clear.
So what has she come to you fro?
I maybe can understand the mood of Michiko.
Really?
Please come in.
Please come in.
Welcome.
You're back, it's very early now.
Dad, welcome.
Please come in.
This is a bakemeat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Is dad off duty now?
Hey, I have something to talk, can you go outside?
I haven't had my dinner.
Oh? Dad, come here and have dinner with us.
How about having dinner outside?
Oh?
This will be ok.
Fine.
It must be something about Michiko.
Hey.
Sorry to keep you waiting for scuh a long time.
I want to borrow this.
Be careful.
I will go out for a while. Be careful.
Thanks for your meal.
Yes.
Yes. Thanks.
Don't you need it? Ah.
Give me this. Yes.
Yes.
Oh? He doesn't look like the guy.
If you watch more carefully, he will be not like the guy, but just on some aspects.
Oh? Dad, how's that guy?
The second son of Kun Qi family, he's a strong and hardworking guy.
I think this guy is good.
Michiko maybe likes another guy.
Do you think so?
Yes.
I heard from Ze Xiong that she likes a guy names Miura.
Miura? The guy in your company?
That guy?
What does he look like?
He's good. If the guy were he, I would agree.
What did Michiko say?
I asked her. Though she didn't give me a direct answer, yet she likes him very much.
If it were he, that would be OK.
Oh? Can you go to ask Mr Miura?
Hey, OK, If it were he, that would be OK.
Oh? It will be wonderful for her to be with the guy she likes.
Michiko will be happy then.
You're right, I will ask him about this soon.
That's the deal.
It's quiet today, is it necessary to play this?
Hey, no need any more.
What? Nothing.
But, if she leaves, dad will feel lonely.
But if she still don't get married...
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hey.
This, two more plates.
And this. OK.
How?
Ah?
You can drink a lot.
No, just so so. I can only drink two bottles of beer.
You...what's the matter?
Do you want to get married?
Do you have soom good one?
Yes, but I don't know whether it is OK.
Oh? Really?
Really, yes, how? Do you want it?
Hey, I cannot understand.
Why? What makes you headache? How?
Hey.
It doesn't matter.
You're right, tell you the truth, I have...
Do you?
Not wife, but I already have...
Oh?
Someone you know too.
Who is it?
Jingye Yidai in Commerce Department.
Oh, it's she.
Is that OK?
Yes, OK, she's a good girl.
Don't tell the others, I haven't told anyone.
I won't.
We have an agreement.
When?
Last time during the travel with company.
Oh, you two begin from that time?
Oh, you two begin from that time?
Don't be lying.
I touched her hands.
Oh?
Which one are you talking about?
Forget it.
Tell me yours, and I tell you all about myself.
Hey.
Who is that?
It's my young sister.
Is that Miss Michiko?
Hey.
Did Miss Michiko know about this?
Hey.
If it is really so, I hope you will tell me earlier.
I specially asked someone for this.
Didn't you say that she didn't want to get married?
Really? I said?
Yes, you said that.
Miss Michiko said so but I don't think there's any hope.
How about another bottle of beer?
Ah, so it's my fault.
What a pity, if it was told a little earlier.
It cannot be all satisfactory.
You're right.
Do you want some more...pork chop?
OK.
Isn't good?
I'm so sorry.
If dad noticed that a little earlier, it would be better.
But we have to tell Michiko about this.
Oh, headache.
How? You go.
Me?
Hey, Michiko seems that she likes Miura very much.
I asked her this morning.
So let dad tell her.
But a poor girl.
So how should we tell her about this?
Want some Red Tea? Brother, do you want some?
OK.
Michiko...what't the matter?
Come here.
Sit down please.
What's the matter?
Maybe dad is too much careful.
I let your brother ask Mr Miura the opinion about you.
He didn't deny that he didn't like you.
But he seemed that he had a agreement.
If I could notice that earlier.
I'm sorry.
I didn't notice that you like Miura.
It was all my forgetful mind that made this, I'm sorry.
It doen't matter, dad, let it be.
I just don't want to regret.
It was better that you've asked him.
Oh?
So how? Do you want to see the guy dad has mentioned?
OK I want to meet him.
OK.
That's the deal.
Hey, you just arrange that.
That's great.
That's great.
I worried that she would cry.
I thought she would be dissappointed.
But look at her, nothing happened.
That's great.
What's wrong, sister?
Looks like crying.
What's the matter.
What's wrong?
Did that papa force his idea upon you?
Just have a meet, if you don't like, refuse him.
Anyway, have a meet first, will you?
Yes.
Well, you agreed?
Don't you come down to have a cup of tea?
Excuse me, is there anyone home?
Yes.
Welcome, come in, please.
Mr.Horie also come here.
Oh?
Come in.
Have come? Hum, just now.
Have your seat, please. Thank you.
Ah.
Why so late? Hum.
When did you come, Horie?
It's said you would come.
Come here.
Equal.
Mine is better.
Please help yourself for that.
Ah.
I have talked about that in the telephone just now.
Hum.
I thought let they meet each other themselves.
Sounds reasonable.
Could you please ask him about the time?
Which matter?
About Miss.Michiko.
No, that would make things worse.
But I must give them an answer first.
What's wrong?
Because you are so drawling.
Kawai request me, and it's saturday yesterday.
There's a young man, not bad. Let them meet at noon. Ok?
Hum.
Is that girl fine?
Hum, she's a good girl.
She's my secretary's sister, a little shorter than Michiko.
She's beautiful.
Really?
I'm also worried, so..
Oh? Have you decided?
It seems so.
The both sides are satisfied.
Really?
Yes.
Hey.
You are too drawling.
Oh?
You are so bad, Mr.Horie.
..
What?
All told you just now are lie.
They arranged to fool you.
Oh! So hateful!
Why did you say I had dead? Even arrange the funeral..
You are the same.
Make me upset a lot.
Luckily a promise.
But Mr.Hirayama, you will be lonely if Michiko leaved.
Hum.
But it's not suitable, if don't marry just because this.
That will be better if Michiko satisfy.
Surely she will.
I think so, too.
I'm the same.
It's your turn.
Oh? My turn?
Hum, really? Oh? What?
There's already two, and still others, understand?
Small will be ok, and another one in addition, yes, right now, thank you.
They will come here right now.
Oh? the back door is ok now, close it first.
So busy.
We will ask Akiko come here occasionally, before engage a servant.
Never mind.
Didn't you have?
Have what?
Child.
Not yet, it's a trouble if have now.
Are you purposive?
Hum.
Yes.
It will be better if you have a child.
It's would be a trouble if your son just enter high school when you are already 50.
Hum..sounds reasonable.

Already prepared.

Ze Xiong is still home, we will live here temporarily.
Let they couple alone.
Yes, we won't bother them.
Hum.
What a good father you are, Mr.Hirayama!
Thank you. I'm sorry.
A boy would be better, missis.
What are you saying?
Girl is not interesting.
Boy and girl are the same, all would leave.
Only leave elders.
What do you whine about!
But, I have ever married my daughter.
This's the incumbency.

As Hyoutan said, loner after all.
Lukily you haven't become he.
Hum, I'll go first.
