Quotes
-
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 : I hate it when you tease me like this!
Soichi Mamiya : I'm not teasing. I'm serious.
-
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.
