Yukie Yagihara
- Yukie Yagihara: [Machine gun fire in the distance] I can see the soldiers. They're so small. I like the sound. It's clear and rhythmical.
- Yukie Yagihara: I don't think the world is full of only logic. There must be beautiful, pleasant things.
- Yukie Yagihara: Listen, Itokawa. Sit down. Kowtow and apologize to me.
- Itokawa: Why?
- Yukie Yagihara: No questions! Do it. Please do. Do it now! Quickly. Quickly. Do it now! Quickly. Quickly.
- [Itokawa starts to bow]
- Yukie Yagihara: What are you doing? Don't do it. Forget it. Forget it.
- Yukie Yagihara: If I follow you, my life will be peaceful. But, if I may say so -
- [bows]
- Yukie Yagihara: It'll be boring.
- Itokawa: With Noge?
- Yukie Yagihara: If I follow him, something dazzling will await me. My life will be stormy.
- [laughs]
- Yukie Yagihara: It terrifies me and fascinates me.
- Yukie Yagihara: I'm bored. I'm disgusted. I want to start my life over again.
- Professor Yagihara: It's not easy. The world isn't a garden.
- Yukie Yagihara: I know. Now I feel my life is meaningless. I want to go out in the world and see what it is like to live.
- Professor Yagihara: If you're determined, then go. Make your own way, groping and struggling. It's worth a try. But remember, you're responsible for what you do. Freedom. You must fight for it. There will be sacrifice and torture in the struggle. Be prepared.
- Yukie Yagihara: I want a job that I can dedicate myself to, body and soul. My father said when I left home: "There will be sacrifice in the struggle for freedom." I want to do something in which I can consume myself.
- Ruykichi Noge: That's not easy. How does one find such a job? It's like finding a bluebird.
- Ruykichi Noge: I was afraid of this. Our path is so steep.
- Yukie Yagihara: It's all right. I won't mind.
- Yukie Yagihara: "No regrets in my life." That's our motto. No matter how hard it may be, I like the way we live. I've found meaning in my life.
- Yukie Yagihara: Look at the clouds! Do you remember?
- Ruykichi Noge: The picnic to Mt. Yoshida? We were young.
- Yukie Yagihara: A prosecutor may think Noge was wrong. But who can tell which was greater, you or him? Time is a slow but fair judge.
- Madame Yagihara: You were born to suffer.
- Yukie Yagihara: Why? I've never pitied myself. I need no sympathy. Noge used to tell me: "No regrets in my life." I'm glad I can feel it now.
- Yukie Yagihara: I like the smell of earth. It's wonderful.
- Student 1: I like the sky.
- Student 2: I like the wind.
- Student 3: I like everything.
- Professor Yagihara: Are you sure you can support yourself?
- Yukie Yagihara: I studied English and typing. I'll work for a trading company. I'll become independent.
