No need to answer this moment.

Think it over.

He asked me

to become a movie actress.

That's great!

What did you say?

I couIdn't respond

to something Iike that right away.

You think you might

want to do it?

I don't think I'm cut out for it.

Sure you are.

And it's much better

than being a ""devoted wife.''

I found a nice room.

Sorry. I just found it

to go see your boyfriend?

Just a few bruises.

Nothing to worry about.

Are you up?

She didn't come home Iast night.

I thought she was with you.

Excuse me.

She was?

Sugiko was hit by a car!

She's in the hospitaI.

Let's go see her.

This is my mother.

It isn't much but pIease accept this

as compensation for your suffering.

Of course we'II cover

hospitaI costs as weII.

How are you feeIing?

Much better thank you.

I'm reaIIy sorry

for what happened.

No I ran into the street

and caused you aII this troubIe.

Hiroshi we mustn't bother her

Take good care of yourseIf.

You reaIIy gave me a fright!

How'd it happen?

Sorry to scare you

but reaIIy it was nothing.

Who's the man who just Ieft?

Looks rich. Better to get hit by him

than a truck or taxi.

Didn't you bring a gift too?

They're a bit shriveIed

but it's a reaI sacrifice for him.

Mr. Harada came by this morning

before I got the phone caII.

ShouId I caII him at work?

It wouId be better if a man caIIed.

They said he didn't report

to work today.

That's aII right.

I'II be out of here in a day or two.

What don't you Iike about her?

And why do you Iike

that tomboy so much?

Your sister wants you

to marry her too.

I won't be ready for marriage

for a whiIe yet.

SUGIKO LEAVES:

THE HOSPITAL...

I wouIdn't mind getting hit

by a car Iike that.

I mean it.

He's rich handsome kind...

He spent the whoIe day

with her yesterday.

She says he's so nice.

You shouId recuperate

at the hot springs for a whiIe...

No I'm aII better now.

I want to do

at Ieast that much for you.

ReaIIy pIease don't worry.

I know it was a strange way to meet

but I'd Iike to keep seeing you.

I'II stop by your work sometime.

Mr. Harada took some time off

and went back to his hometown.

""Dear Sugiko

I'm returning home to marry.

You made me see how fooIish

I've been and I'm gratefuI.''

""I wish you every happiness.

- Machio Harada''

I just don't understand.

No reason to be so disappointed.

You'II soon find someone

much better than him.

And you can become an actress!

ShaII we go to a movie

on your day off?

Come on
