Unpardonable!

I won't consent to the marriage.

Father, Mother, the truth is...

Chiyo is having my baby.

Yes, we want to get married because she's pregnant.

What I said before was lies.

Shotgun Marriage What I said before was lies.

What I said before was lies.

We slept together on the day we met because the mood seemed right.

But, I must say this: I decided to marry Chiyo on my own.

I want to have the child with her.

So, this is what I wish to do. Father, please consent to the marriage.

I beg you.

I beg you!

Dad, calm down!!

Sir, calm down!

Which is to say my battle plan is a complete failure.

Don't tell me...

As I thought, you got a tongue lashing.

The 5th approach did not go as planned. Ryunosuke failed, too.

The ending was unexpected.

Unexpected?

Dad caught me by the collar and Ryu came to rescue me.

I hit against the pillar. The pain was excruciating.

I'm still feeling the pain.

You got into such big trouble, yet your injury is so minor. It's unfair.

Uncle is a little prejudiced?

-Different treatment. -Different?

Ryunosuke went to your father to ask for her hand.

But Eitaro has never mentioned marriage.

Useless bum. Why can't he be like Ryunosuke?

But the outcome Is the same. He won't let you get married.

At least your dad understands your intention.

Of course. Naturally.

By the way, how did you propose to Chiyo?

Propose?

Propose?

He was very sincere when he begged Dad to let us marry.

Not that. How did he propose to you?

He must have said something special.

Something special?

Yeah, maybe...

He said...

Why? You can't remember?

I can remember. I'm totally sincere about her.

I know what you said...

Am I getting married?

I'm so happy!

-Really? Good heavens!! -That can't be.

Does that count?

That's terrible! Like a waiter at a pub. Does that count?

That's terrible! Like a waiter at a pub.

What's so funny?

Two beers, please

Fried tofu for two.

Right away! Like this?

That kind of proposal is so arbitrary.

What then? Do I have to ask him?

Propose to me. I can't make myself say that.

-She'II hate you forever -Propose to her again.

Why this sudden visit?

I just wanted to see you.

Does your face still hurt?

It's much better, now. Thanks.

It is? Good.

I...

You know...

You first.

You first.

You came to see me about something. You first.

You came to see me about something. You came to see me about something. You first.

You came to see me about something.

I said it was nothing... You first.

Why are we being so polite?

Why are we arguing over such small matters?

I'll say it first.

Listen carefully. l want a plate of fried tofu at the pub.

It doesn't seem to be any different from the waiters at the pub.

I'm referring to...

As a creative director, why are you so uncreative?

You know something? My Sis and her colleagues laughed at me.

They did? Uh, no, nothing.

This is once in a lifetime.

Have you thought about the marriage?

The child would be so embarrassed when he grows up

and learns that his mother got pregnant before marriage.

How are you going to face the child?

You're talking about the proposal, aren't you?

I won't insist. You think about it.

I know what I should do. I'll think of something

You'll think of something?

It's like l'm forcing you to propose to me again.

Aren't you?

Of course not.

So leave it as it is?

What do you really want?

I want... Why should I be the one to raise the subject?

I have to go back to work. Goodbye.

Chiyo, I have something else to ask you.

Did your dad say anything to you? This is why l'm here.

I've offended her again.

Uncle, you've offended her again.

Is she your girlfriend?

Why are you here?

Great! You can get Uncle to buy you things.

Uncle, buy us toys!

I have to go back to work.

You poor thing.

You should propose to her properly. Be serious and sincere.

Serious and sincere?

Shotgun Wedding 3

I asked you here to discuss Ryunosuke's marriage proposal.

This is the topic of discussion.

Any good ideas?

I'm busy. Any good ideas?

I'm busy.

I rarely get a day off.

I sneaked out.

Who are you?

Kidding! Let me introduce him.

He's Ryunosuke's brother-in-law, Mr. Tanaka.

He's married and experienced. We can listen to his views.

I'm Tanaka and I'm older than Ryunosuke.

He's my younger sister's husband. Pleased to meet you.

Just sit down. Take the seat on the left.

Are you ready? We'll discuss it now.

I've written three main points on the white board.

Point one - be simple. Point two - be honest. Point three - be natural.

Three main points.

What are you doing?

Taking notes.

Let's demonstrate. Who will demonstrate with me?

Me!

This is no laughing matter. Be serious.

I'll bring you happiness. Marry me.

You will?

Is it the right thing to do?

Let my surname be placed before your name.

No good. Vague.

Can you wash my underwear?

No! Even worse!

Here's another idea.

Okay, listen. Bring my child into this world.

No good. Not at all sincere.

So tired. I'm going home.

Go home, everybody.

Wait. Don't go yet. Listen to me.

Look over here.

This is happiness.

I'm so happy just to be with you.

Chiyo, I love you.

You like the song? l'm surprised.

Why do I feel tight in the chest? My throat is sore.

I feel terrible.

I feel like this every morning. It's sickening.

It's called... found it! Morning sickness.

Toshiko! Toshiko!

Things to note during pregnancy.

I'm back.

Ryunosuke, she waited a long time.

Sorry to disturb you.

Ms. Kotani!

Certainly, I was shocked by what you told us.

You said you slept with Chiyo because the mood was right.

My husband was very upset because he couldn't accept such behavior.

Is he still mad?

Yes, of course

I'm terribly sorry.

Sorry, Ms. Kotani.

Concerning the marriage, you know,

as her mother I'm not against it.

Ms. Kotani...

You're so understanding

I thought about later, and saw some good in it.

I'm happy Chiyo has found a good man.

Chiyo is very fortunate.

If Chiyo doesn't marry you, it's likely no other man will want her.

I've liked Ryunosuke since the very start.

l have confidence in him. l believe he'll take good care of my daughter.

I can tell he's honest and dependable.

He's not that sort of man who will look at girls in the streets.

Of course not.

Excuse me.

Good, I'm right about you.

Hirano's residence... Miss Reina!

We're just talking about you and Ryunosuke.

Really? I'm so happy. Ryunosuke didn't turn on his cell phone.

So I called your place.

Your mother is at my place.

Why is she there?

She came to discuss you and Ryunosuke.

Reina... Chiyo... We're discussing something important. Call you later!

Why hang up so quickly?

Because... the person on the phone...

Reina is Chiyo's pet name. She likes to be called Reina.

It's her artiste name. She's a model.

Chiyo is a model?

Mom... You mustn't disclose that.

She doesn't want her mother to know yet.

Her mother doesn't know?

Chiyo is working as a model?

Since you've learned about it, don't question Chiyo.

I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone.

It's my fault. I shouldn't have said it. Sorry, Chiyo.

Ms. Hirao, you've met Chiyo?

Yes, she came to my place and stayed for a while.

I see.

Yes, that's it.

Your daughter is so cheerful and lively.

She looks prosperous and very healthy.

Strange, I find her, too thin. However much she eats, she doesn't gain weight.

Maybe my son is attracted to her size, so he woos her.

Am I right?

Yes...

Your daughter is easy to talk to. We've become friends.

That's wonderful.

I think so, too.

Dong! dong, dong!

Chuko - everyone's dream car.

So good that it's going like hot cakes!

This is just passable.

It overshot the budget You take care of it.

He never compliments anybody.

Be grateful he said it's passable.

I have to do the dirty job, again.

If someone proposes to me?

What would you really like to hear most?

You came to me just to ask that?

Help me. What do you wish Eitaro would say to you?

Eitaro... I don't dare expect anything from him.

If he really proposes to me...

A night in New York. The lights of the skyscrapers shine brightly.

He makes a reservation at a posh restaurant.

We smile at each other and say cheers.

We drink champagne and listen to music.

After dinner, he gives me a bouquet of flowers.

"Aki, this is for you".

"Oh. it's beautiful!"

"No flowers are more beautiful than you"

"Oh, you don't mean it".

"Let's search for love together".

Cut! I shouldn't have asked you.

Patience. I haven't come to the best part.

There's a card on the bouquet.

A card?

On the card, he's written his marriage proposal. Romantic?

Another serving of fried dumplings, please.

I'll help myself...

(Then, the day of the epic proposal battle...)

Excuse me!

Tonight... Send these roses... Let me think...

At 8:45 this evening, send them to this restaurant.

This evening at 8:45.

Remember to place this card on them.

Place it on the flowers. Don't forget the card.

Take it to my table.

For your girlfriend?

Yes.

Welcome!

It's so special today.

It's nice to have a dinner like this occasionally.

Let's drink a toast. To your future and mine.

Three people's future.

To three people's future.

Don't you find the difference really vast?

I'm footing the bill.

It can't be helped. I've spent this month's pay.

I envy you. You stay at your dad's place,

and your girlfriend picks up the tab on a date. Such a carefree life!

It's because you're very independent.

Too independent.

I'm past 30 and marriage still isn't in the pipeline.

You really long to get married? Oh. I didn't say anything

Hey, let's go in for a rest.

I'm tired.

It's not about being tired. Do you know what place this is?

You really can't accept me? We'll only be resting our feet.

No.

I promise you I won't do anything.

Really? No. I still can't go in.

I won't touch you.

Chiyo, this is delicious. Try it.

Thanks.

By the way, did your father mention it?

He's still clinging on to his decision.

I see. So even if your mom agrees to it, it's useless.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

Each time I talk about it, you lose your appetite.

We won't dwell on it tonight. Let's talk about something happy.

We rarely have a night like this. I planned it very carefully.

I ... Excuse me.

Chiyo...

Did I say something wrong again?

Another civil war? You men are like that.

Tonight's an opportunity. I hope it'll go smoothly.

I'm sorry.

Psychological barrier?

You're really that sort of people?

What do you mean that sort?

You're not interested in women.

Nothing of that sort.

I wanted to clarify it a long time ago. You're wrong about me.

I'm a real man.

You don't like me?

Don't deny it. You didn't even touch me the last time.

To think I'm known to possess irresistible charm.

I'm fond of you. I've been thinking about it.

I'm very fond of you.

Really! That's good enough.

I can't do it!

Why not?!

Why?!

Only 15 minutes left.

Chiyo.

Chiyo, are you done? Chiyo...

This is terrible.

Chiyo.

Chiyo, are you all right? Sorry.

Reina! What are you doing here?

Takumi told me you'd be here.

Is it too much to ask you to buy me dinner?

Not today.

Come with me. Move!

Quick!

Where are you taking me?

Who is that woman? How can you sit there so unconcerned?

Don't be so impatient... Who is that woman? How can you sit there so unconcerned?

Don't be so impatient...

But...

Let's watch.

I can't keep you company. Don't spoil my plan.

I've built a good relationship with your mom.

She seems to think we're getting married.

You've misunderstood her.

There's no time. We'll talk another day.

When will that be? My mum says opportunity never knocks twice.

A customer placed an order for this bouquet.

His name? Uh, well...

He's a tall, slim young man.

He said to give the flowers to his girlfriend.

Okay, leave it with me.

Thank you.

Next time, we're go for grilled meat.

Don't forget! Grilled meat!

Excuse me. This is for you. It's for her, isn't it?

For me?

Eitaro, you heard what I said? Huh?

What I told Ryunosuke at the noodle shop. You remembered?

A card!

What's the matter?

I'm so touched. You proposed to me.

No wonder you asked me to come here.

Congratulations! You're getting married.

Let's congratulate them!

Congratulations! May you live in bliss forever!

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Aki, the flowers... These are my flowers.

This...

You should have told me you weren't feeling well.

It happened the last time, too.

You should take care of yourself.

I know that. You asked me out.

I wanted to see you too, and have a good dinner with you.

I like the restaurant, but when I saw the food,

I wanted to throw up. I felt awful, yet you didn't notice.

You looked very happy when you sat down.

I wasn't. What are you talking about?

You don't understand me at all.

These past days...

I've been so confused and upset.

I'm in a terrible mood and have no appetite.

I don't understand myself.

I look normal, but I'm really not.

Just the smell of cooking makes me feel nauseous.

Even when the cell phone rings, I find it unbearably noisy.

If someone smokes in front of me, I get really irritated.

When I watch love stories on TV, I can't stop crying.

Maybe I shouldn't have gone to dinner with you there.

I have no appetite. The only thing I want to eat now is pickled onions (rakkyou).

Pickled onions?

That's right.

I thought you'd like the special arrangement tonight.

You don't like the atmosphere of the pub.

I thought I could make it a proper proposal.

Proposal? You call that a proposal? I thought I could make it a proper proposal.

Proposal? You call that a proposal?

This is a proposal!

Isn't it?

That isn't what I mean.

I was going to... I was ready to propose to you...

A proper proposal.

Taking me out to dinner is a proposal?

Who cares for your kind of proposal!

Chiyo, let's go home. I'll buy pickled onions for you.

Let's go.

The bouquet is wasted.

I've had enough. Me, too.

I've learned something. Don't place too high hopes in anything.

It won't happen again. I always say that to myself.

You're terrific. No wonder you can carry on with Eitaro.

What's that supposed to mean?

No way! Eitaro?

Ryunosuke?

Miss Aki!

Dr. Komatsubara!

Sorry to disturb you at this late hour.

No, you came at the right time. Chiyo has been feeling nauseous.

Since you're here, I won't be so worried.

I can stay here for a while then.

Dr. Komatsubara, why have you come to see me?

First of all, I'd like to ask if you're seeing anyone.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Eitaro... He's your boyfriend?

Could be Ryunosuke.

Chiyo, get the door.

Not me, you get it.

Open the door.

You go, Sis.

Doctor, can you open the door?

Me?

For Miss Aki, l will do it.

Miss Aki, can I ask you something?

What is it?

Your boyfriend...is he married?

No!

The bearded middle-aged man looks so fierce.

Who? Take a look.

It's Dad.

Doctor, please hide.

Over here... Goodbye!

What are you up to?

Open the door!

I wonder of she's cooled down, yet.

I wonder of she's cooled down. Not yet, of course.

Misato must be furious. What should I do?

Call her at her place?

If I call her, she'll ask me to go to a hotel again.

Hotel? You mean Misato?

Isn't it guys you prefer? Oh nothing.

Ryunosuke, I heard Chiyo has been feeling nauseous.

I heard about it too.

I can't do anything! How did you know?

Need you ask? One more bowl of rice! Aki told me.

Misato went to see Aki to discuss something.

She's submitting the resignation letter on Chiyo's behalf.

We're not supposed to tell.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Dad, why must I resign?

How am l going to get by without a job?

Chiyo won't know what you're thinking if you don't say anything.

Right, Dad.

Dad!

I forbid you to step out of the house.

That's absurd! Am I supposed to stay in this house forever?

Are you joking? I do not agree with what you're doing.

Chiyo is pregnant.

I'm well aware of that.

The let them get married soon.

It's a good thing, if you look at it from another angle. The let them get married soon.

It's a good thing, if you look at it from another angle.

She's better off than Aki who is been left on the shelf.

Papa, this is our first grandchild.

It may be a boy as cute as you.

The marriage... I absolutely don't approve of it.

What is it that you want?

Chiyo's tummy will grow bigger as time passes.

I still...

Chiyo has misbehaved and I can't accept it.

I have not misbehaved! Marriage is just a matter of time.

Everyone does it.

Chiyo is right.

You are really...

What should it be? Didn't you do it, too?

No!

How did you have us? A big bird sent us to you?

That's right. A big bird!

I'll answer it.

Thanks for coming.

Ryunosuke! He's run away.

Who will pay?

I haven't got much on me.

Chiyo, it's me, Ryunosuke.

Chiyo, can you hear me?

Hello? Chiyo...

Don't hang up.

l'm near your place.

The stubborn old fool is there? Is that why you can't speak?

He's gone too far by insisting that you quit your job.

What did you call me?

Get lost!

Ryu!

Ryunosuke!

I won't let Chiyo marry you. Tell him to leave.

I've brought a bonsai to replace the one l damaged, to apologize.

Chiyo...

Ryunosuke

Go home.

Forgive me, Dad.

I'm not your dad.

Sorry.

Go home. I said leave!

Sir! Chiyo!

Finished!

Chiyo...

Even now, you still won't admit you've misbehaved?

Do not treat marriage as a trifling matter.

Even now, you still won't admit you've misbehaved?

Do not treat marriage as a trifling matter.

I didn't expect him to be so devoted.

He said he'd go on waiting till you show up.

Who?

Ryu. He called me just now.

It's quite funny.

What is?

It's the first time I've seen him sacrificing so much for a woman.

Why have I ended up in this state? I'm hungry.

Hello?

Ryunosuke?

Chiyo?

Are you really waiting for me?

I'm drenched and might get pneumonia. I feel a little faint.

Damn!

Worried?

You're lying.

I'm not drenched, but I am really waiting for you.

Answer this question.

Go on...

Why are you willing to sacrifice so much for me?

Is it because I'm pregnant?

I don't know the answer myself.

I just...

I just want to wait for you.

Let's go back together?

Where are you going?

Chiyo!

Looks like there is no hope.

Chiyo.

Finally, I escaped.

Why do you say that?

Dad caught me.

Really?

Sorry about the last time.

What was that?

Do you have to ask? I got angry with you for no reason.

I should apologize. I didn't propose to you properly.

You don't have to...

I want to talk about it.

You said it just now.

You said let's go back together.

When I heard that, I was so happy.

Thank you.

Let's go back together.
