Sanpei Numata

Quotes4

  • Sanpei Numata: I'm afraid we expect too much of our children. They lack spirit. They lack ambition. I've told that to my son. He said that there are too many people in Tokyo. That it's hard to get ahead. What do you think? Young people today have no backbone. Where is there spirit? That's not how I raised him!
  • Sanpei Numata: I often wish at least one of my sons were alive.
  • Osamu Hattori: Must have been hard to lose both of them.
  • [to Shukichi]
  • Osamu Hattori: Didn't you lose one?
  • Shukichi Hirayama: Yes, my second son.
  • Osamu Hattori: I've had enough of war.
  • Shukichi Hirayama: Yes, indeed. To lose your children is hard, but living with them isn't always easy either. A real dilemma.
  • Osamu Hattori: Remember the governor's visit to Onomichi?
  • Sanpei Numata: At Takemuraya?
  • Osamu Hattori: You got drunk. That young geisha who served...
  • Sanpei Numata: Umeko?
  • Osamu Hattori: You liked her, didn't you?
  • Sanpei Numata: And the governor happened to like her too, remember?
  • Sanpei Numata: Look, Hirayama. She resembles someone, doesn't she?
  • Oden-ya no onna: There he goes again.
  • Sanpei Numata: Don't you think so?
  • Shukichi Hirayama: Well, who?
  • Osamu Hattori: Yes, she does. That young geisha.
  • Sanpei Numata: Oh, no! She was fatter. This one resembles my wife.
  • Shukichi Hirayama: Yes, you're right.
  • Sanpei Numata: See, especially here.
  • Oden-ya no onna: Why don't you leave? You've had enough.
  • Sanpei Numata: And both are bad-tempered.
  • Oden-ya no onna: You're a real nuisance.
  • Sanpei Numata: My wife says so too.
