- Haru: When Mr. Ogata dies, I'd like him to join me and my husband in our tomb. I'll tell my husband he took good care of me.
- Ogata(Subu): Why did you get an abortion? Why?
- Haru: I wanted your baby, but the others are so grown-up and...
- Ogata(Subu): That's ridiculous! Things like this happen every day. I wanted that baby badly.
- Haru: Well, the truth is, the carp jumped.
- Ogata(Subu): The carp?
- Haru: Yes. That carp is... the reincarnation of my husband. The fish was born on the day he died. He used to always go carp fishing.
- Ogata(Subu): That's silly.
- Haru: But it's true. Whenever something bad happens, the carp jumps.
- Ogata(Subu): Can't you sleep? How do you feel now? Don't worry. Just relax.
- Haru: I hear the carp jumping.
- Ogata(Subu): There is no carp. I threw it into the river.
- Haru: You got rid of it? You shouldn't have. I'm scared.
- Ogata(Subu): It was just a fish. Don't worry. Go to sleep.
- Keiko: Did he say anything?
- Haru: Nothing in particular. Why? What? Is it about Mr. Ogata? I see. It is. Did he do something to you? Something happened, didn't it? What was it? Tell me, Keiko. I won't get angry.
- Keiko: He... bothers me.
- Haru: I see. It's all my fault.
- Keiko: He's so persistent.
- Haru: I was afraid of that... but hearing this makes me very sad. I'll tell him to stop it. I will. And if he doesn't, I'll leave him.
- Koichi: If he had lived, I could've gone to a better high school. Now no decent college will accept me.
- Haru: Don't give up. I'll pay the bills, and you study.
- Koichi: If the atmosphere were right, I could.
- Haru: You have a nice quiet room. What more could you want?
- Koichi: I don't mean physical surroundings. I'm referring to conditions of a higher nature.
