• Kazue Watanabe, Mitsuo's wife : Stop making that face. Enough about your dad. He has his life. We have ours.

• Kazue Watanabe, Mitsuo's wife : It's freezing. Just as bad inside as out. That's why I hate Japanese houses.

  Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son : It's such a drag coming home to this. I'd like a modern house.

  Kazue Watanabe, Mitsuo's wife : Honey, a house of our own would cost around 500,000 yen, right? Could we use your dad's retirement bonus as collateral?

  Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son : It must be worth 700,000 by now, plus a monthly pension of 13,000 yen and another 100,000 in savings.

  Kazue Watanabe, Mitsuo's wife : But you think he'd agree?

  Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son : If he doesn't, we'll say we're moving out. That'll clinch it. Even Dad doesn't want to take that much money to the grave.
