Kohayagawa Manbei
- Sasaki Tsune: It was such fun to have you take me out on long vacations.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Yes, going to see the snow - chasing fireflies. Do you remember that night, when the moon was beautiful?
- Sasaki Tsune: How could I forget? It's the night you turned me into a woman. We've known each other forever.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Indeed.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Who was that?
- Sasaki Tsune: An American. He works in Kobe.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: That's who she dates?
- Sasaki Tsune: She's a typist. Sometimes she brings home strange things.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: This is the slowest time of year. Sake shops can't make money without new rice crops.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Strange, isn't it?
- Sasaki Tsune: What is?
- Kohayagawa Manbei: If I hadn't taken that exact train on that day in Mukoumachi, I wouldn't have seen you.
- Sasaki Tsune: It's true. That's destiny for you.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Yes, destiny is a strange thing.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Like life and the flow of water...
- Sasaki Tsune: Indeed. The world has changed so much around us.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: It's not much of a world anymore.
- Sasaki Tsune: I miss the old days.
- Sasaki Tsune: Try one of these black things.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: What is it?
- Sasaki Tsune: Yuriko brought it home. She said they're shark eggs.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Shark eggs, huh? Pretty small for a shark.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: Well, that's that. Regret won't get us anywhere. Shall we go to Osaka to eat? How does udonsuki sound?
- Sasaki Tsune: Let's go home to take a bath and have a drink.
- Kohayagawa Manbei: No, no. Let's go to Osaka. To Osaka!
