Sôichi Mamiya
- Shuzo Taguchi: She really is beautiful.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: I love talking to girls of that age.
- Shuzo Taguchi: And the daughter's not bad either.
- Soichi Mamiya: Ah, you meant her mother?
- Shuzo Taguchi: Hasn't changed a bit.
- Soichi Mamiya: Truly beautiful.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Yes, she is. But her daughter is nice too.
- Soichi Mamiya: Sure, she's nice. On the other hand, Akiko is pst 40 already.
- Shuzo Taguchi: If given a choice, I'd take the mother. A fine woman.
- Soichi Mamiya: Yes, she is.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Are you serious?
- Shuzo Taguchi: Absolutely. It's true what they say about men with beautiful wives dying young.
- Soichi Mamiya: Miwa paid a steep price for his good fortune. She's grown even more attractive recently.
- Shuzo Taguchi: You noticed too?
- Soichi Mamiya: How could I not?
- Shuzo Taguchi: You got to be dense not to feel it.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: I feel it. Just not as much as you guys.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: It's quite inconvenient living alone.
- Soichi Mamiya: Inconvenient? You have your housekeeper.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: That's true. Still there are certain things...
- Soichi Mamiya: You mean - an itch you can't scratch?
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Yeah, you might say that.
- Soichi Mamiya: So you suddenly started to itch?
- Seiichiro Hirayama: I guess.
- Shuzo Taguchi: A man married to her might die young. Her body's so sturdy!
- Soichi Mamiya: Like a pro wrestler.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: If she got him in a head scissor...
- Shuzo Taguchi: He'd never survive. His head would be crushed!
- [all laugh]
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Did you feel the earthquake last nigh?
- Soichi Mamiya: Was there one? I didn't feel it.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Yes, there was. But just a small one.
- Wakamatsu's Owner: You men should've bought aphrodisiacs, not cold medicine.
- Shuzo Taguchi: That's true.
- Soichi Mamiya: We didn't know about such things. Unlike youngsters today, we were pure and naive.
- Wakamatsu's Owner: I wonder.
- Shuzo Taguchi: You're late.
- Soichi Mamiya: Yes, a bit.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: It just started.
- Soichi Mamiya: Then I'm too early.
- Akiko Miwa: Mr. Taguchi is very amusing.
- Soichi Mamiya: Too amusing! Everything he touches turns into a farce.
- Fumiko: If Ayako gets married, Akiko will be left all alone.
- Soichi Mamiya: She'll get by somehow. She'll have no choice.
- Fumiko: Is Akiko as beautiful as ever?
- Soichi Mamiya: Yes, very beautiful. But I like Ayako more. She's so pure.
- Fumiko: Oh, really?
- Ayako Miwa: For me, love and marriage don't necessarily go hand in hand.
- Soichi Mamiya: What's that supposed to mean?
- Ayako Miwa: Well, that means...
- Soichi Mamiya: You're for having affairs?
- Ayako Miwa: That's not what I mean!
- Soichi Mamiya: Really? I'm sorry.
- Soichi Mamiya: You must really love your mother.
- Ayako Miwa: I guess I do. We still quarrel a lot.
- Soichi Mamiya: That's proof of your love. Parents and children who aren't close can't even squabble.
- Shuzo Taguchi: Young women are straightforward these days, though a few are pretty odd.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: But I can see her side.
- Shuzo Taguchi: How so?
- Seiichiro Hirayama: About love and marriage being separate.
- Soichi Mamiya: That makes for a cold world.
- Shuzo Taguchi: That's so crazy it just might work.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Stop kidding around. I'm not ready for that kind of thing. She's the widow of an old friend!
- Shuzo Taguchi: Don't be so straight-laced.
- Seiichiro Hirayama: Forget it! Out of the question. It's downright immoral.
- Soichi Mamiya: What's so immoral? You're a widower. She's a widow.
- Soichi Mamiya: Hirayama's serious.
- Shuzo Taguchi: You know, she'd be wasted on him. She's so beautiful. You should have seen her on the verge of tears.
- Soichi Mamiya: Really?
- Shuzo Taguchi: Like a delicate flower battered by a rainstorm. She peeled an apple for me with those lovely white hands.
- Soichi Mamiya: Did you eat it?
- Shuzo Taguchi: Yes. It was delicious.
