“I don't want to go anywhere. Being with you is enough. I'm happy just as I am. I doubt marriage will make me happier than this. This is the life I want.” – Noriko konflik antara ayah dan anak perihal pernikahan. ayah yang tidak ingin selalu bergantung pada anaknya maka ia menjodohkan anaknya agar segera menikah karena ia sudah tua dan khawatir jika ia meninggal anaknya akan sendirian. namun di sisi lain noriko khawatir jika ia menikah, ia akan tinggal jauh dari ayahnya dan ayahnya akan kesepian. “Marriage may not mean happiness from the start. On the contrary, you'd be wrong to expect immediate happiness. Don't wait for happiness. You two must make your own. Happiness isn't a wedding. Happiness comes from a new couple creating a new life together. It may take a year, or two, or five, or ten. Happiness comes only through effort.”
