As it happens, Motome,
1:06:11
I came today to discuss
a matter of some weight.
1:06:15
You sound so formal.
What could it be?
1:06:22
How quickly the days
and months fly by.
1:06:26
Miho is now 18.
1:06:29
She looks more
like her mother every day.
1:06:34
In fact, it's hard to see
how she could possibly be of my blood.
1:06:40
If she'd taken after me,
she'd never have grown so beautiful.
1:06:45
What are you trying to say, sir?
1:06:50
Well, Motome...
1:06:58
I'd like you to take Miho as your wife.
1:07:10
I realize this is all very sudden,
1:07:14
but what do you think?
1:07:16
Will you do it, Motome?
1:07:19
You know as well as I
1:07:20
the state of my livelihood at present.
1:07:25
I offer classes in the Chinese classics
to a handful of children
1:07:29
and live from hand to mouth.
1:07:35
How could I possibly take a wife?
1:07:39
Do you dislike Miho?
1:07:45
All I'm asking
is how you feel about her.
1:07:55
It's not only because
of the promise I made to your father
