Ayako Miwa
- Akiko Miwa: You have to marry eventually.
- Ayako Miwa: No, I don't. I'm happy just as I am. But Mother, if I did find someone, what would you do?
- Akiko Miwa: What do you mean?
- Ayako Miwa: Would you be lonely?
- Akiko Miwa: I'd miss you, but it can't be helped. I'd have to make do. It was the same with my mother. That's how it is with parents and children.
- Akiko Miwa: You wanted to do some shopping? Shall we go?
- Ayako Miwa: You need needles, right?
- Akiko Miwa: And one of the seven Ts.
- Ayako Miwa: What? Ah, you mean tarako cod roe.
- Akiko Miwa: You're just like your father!
- Ayako Miwa: How so?
- Akiko Miwa: You like to be fully equipped wherever you go. Your father even took pumice stones to the hot springs.
- Ayako Miwa: To scrape the soles of his feet -- I remember that. Let's go to the hot springs again.
- Akiko Miwa: Do you remember when we went to Shuzenji Temple and all the carp in the pond at the inn?
- Ayako Miwa: They gobbled up all the peanuts I threw in.
- Akiko Miwa: The next morning those carp were dead -- puffy and white.
- Ayako Miwa: That really scared me, but Father just laughed.
- Akiko Miwa: That was the last trip with him. The maple leaves were so beautiful.
- 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.
- Ayako Miwa: It would be ideal if love and marriage always went together, but even if not, life is still worthwhile. In fact, cases where they don't aren't rare.
- 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.
