Am I in time for the ceremony?

He can come in, can't he?

We can't send him away now.

But I ask one thing.

What?

Oh, a speech?

I'm no good at that.

No, thank you.

I wouldn't be asking you

for something like that!

I mean this!

No drinking, you mean.

Remember Kazuo's 13th?

You got right disorderly.

Don't bring that up again!

Today is a happy day.

The groom's from a good family,

so there's important folk here.

You keep that in mind.

Don't you worry, Brother.

I know what a fool I get

when I've had a drink.

You're a fool to start with,

and you just get worse.

You'd say that to a brother?

Brother orno, a fool's a fool.

He's no fun at all!

I've asked them to set you a place.

You wait here.

This way, please.

Hey, Koharu!

Boy, did you get old!

Who are you?!

Come on, let's go.

Whoops! Wasn't that something!

Congratulations!

Bite me!

I was in university with

Dr Terayama, the groom's father.

Together we attended lectures

and honed our skills.

And we often drank together.

I remember one day for some reason

he suddenly said...

'One day I will have a child.

'Propose the toast

at the wedding for me.'

And today

that has come to pass.

No joy could be greater.

I keep my promise!

Here you are.

Oolong tea forme.

Just for the toast.

It's more than my life's worth.

Everyone...

raise your glasses to

a long and happy life...

for Yusuke and Koharu.

Cheers!

Thank you, Dr Fujiwara.

Please be seated.

Give her a kiss!

Shut up!

Get closer!

They're cutting the cake.

Is that all cake?!

Just part of it.

Dr. Fujiwara's leaving.

Give me a whisky.

Thanks.

Ah, that's good!

I'm sorry I have to go.

Thank you for coming.

A splendid reception.

Thank you.

Where's Tetsuro?

Congratulating Koharu.

I tried to stop him.

Koharu! Best in the land!

Darn right!

He's my uncle.

My mother's younger brother.

You make Koharu happy,

you hear?

If you go cheating on her...

I'll come from Osaka

and beat you black and blue!

He's joking.

He's always like that.

Right?

I'm not joking! I'm serious!

Don't forget!

Aunt Ginko says

to come and sit down.

She does, eh? All right.

I beg your pardon.

Don't forget.

You're related to him?

I'll tell you later.

How embarrassing!

Why didn't you bring him?

Look!

He's chugging.

Down it! Down it! Down it!

One more!

One more?

All right, one more!

That fool!

To celebrate the wedding...

of Yusuke Terayama

and Koharu...

we will raise a cheer!

Hurra-a-ah!

Yusuke!

Hurra-a-ah Yusuke!

Hurra-a-ah!

Koharu!

Hurra-a-ah Koharu!

Hurra-a-ah Koharu!

Thank you very much!

A big hand for Yusuke's friends!

Thank you thank you thank you!

He's blind drunk!

I told you so.
