Tora-san's Matchmaker (男はつらいよ 寅次郎の縁談)

A Shochiku Film

Miss... you look very beautiful.

Everyone... congratulations.

The weather couldn't be finer.

Thank you.

Would you mind offering her a few kind words?

First, please love each other.

But let it not end there.

You must also be grateful to those who have helped you.

Only then will you be happy.

Thank you for those words.

The groom is waiting.

Excuse us.

Wasn't that nice?

How nice...

To witness a wedding party in Autumn.

That's something a refined gentleman would say.

Not someone like you, still not married at your age.

Buddy, I didn't choose to be this way.

I have a dream.

That's where you and I differ.

Listen to you!

By the way...

You keeping your wife happy?

You mean... ikue?

The one who made dinner for me that one time.

I left her for a younger girl.

Left her?

Foolish man.

Get out of my sight!

Idiot!

You disgust me.

Want jam?

It's all gone. I'll buy some.

Is your hanky pressed?

Don't forget to speak clearly.

Sometimes you mumble too much.

About this necktie...

Done eating? There's still time for you to finish eating.

A good cure for nervousness...

The lady next door said to pull the little finger.

It might help.

Going already?

Coming home late?

It's the final interview.

They'll answer by tonight, so I'll be home early.

Goodluck!

I sure hope this company hires him.

It's Autumn already.

I had a dream about tora last night.

Good for you... I couldn't sleep last night.

About time he'd return.

I hope not, at least until mitsuo gets a job.

Mitsuo!

Why the necktie?

Job interview!

You still at it? Must be rough.

Goodluck!

Gen, how's the high priest?

He's at mt. Minobu.

Morning!

That girl I mentioned... I brought her.

Did she say she'd work?

This is kayo kimura.

Hello, my name is sakura.

She lives nearby.

How convenient!

Your resume?

She worked at a bakery before.

So she's used to this kind of work. Right?

You know the job requirements?

Starting today?

Yes.

Thank you.

I'll write your name here, so

You can change upstairs and leave your things there.

Excuse me.

Find it?

I hope she stays on awhile.

How's mitsuo doing?

Another interview.

How many interviews has he had?

Over thirty.

He still hasn't had an offer?

They don't know what they're missing.

Such a nice boy, too. Why won't anyone hire him?

He's too quiet.

That's what's good about him!

If talking was a good quality, tora would be working.

Who'd hire him?

That's why he doesn't work!

What kind of company today?

Some advertising agency.

The one suggested by hiroshi's brother.

Then there's no problem.

It's the final interview.

He should do fine.

I'll get sick if he doesn't find a job soon.

Really...

Ready?

Sanpei, she's starting today!

Take care of her.

Come around that way...

My father said, this company...

Your company may be small but it has potential.

I would like to work for such a company.

Where does he work?

Asahi printing, inc.

Asahi printing? Where's the head office?

In shibamata, katsushika ward. Near taishaku temple.

It's a factory?

I see.

Any other questions?

Let's see...

What are you doing here?

We sure see each other often!

I heard you got a job.

It's a country credit bank.

Not quite what I wanted...

Hiroshi...?

Over there.

About the fall company trip.

How about going somewhere other than a hot spring?

Somewhere educational like historical theme parks...

Sounds good.

Boss, hiroshi has no time for things like that now.

Why?

His boy's job hunting!

Nothing yet? That's rough!

Why not have him work here?

If all else fails...

Ridiculous!

He couldn't handle this kind of work. No!

How many sheets more?

Welcome home.

Is he home?

He's waiting for the call.

Went okay?

He seems confident.

Time for dinner.

All company information?

It's steak tonight! Come on!

Want me to answer it?

Suwa here.

Oh, it's you, nabe... What do you want?

You got the job? Great!

Me? I'm waiting for the call.

Got to hang up. Congratulations.

Nabe got a job as a junior high school teacher.

Him, a teacher?

Today's interview...?

Not bad.

That's good.

Always the same questions... You can memorize them.

So you weren't nervous?

Who did he take after?

You, hiroshi?

I think so. I was such a nervous kid.

I was so nervous at first, too.

At an insurance company...

I didn't know what I was saying after awhile.

As I was leaving, I knocked on the door.

As you were leaving?

Those old guys sure had a good laugh.

But my friend had it worse... He forgot his own name!

But he got in! It's a good company, too.

That happens!

Suwa here.

Yes, it's me.

Isee...

No good?
