Nakamura
- Nakamura: What are you really afraid of, Miss Webster? You don't think it would enter Major Gruver's mind to marry a Japanese girl?
- Eileen Webster: I don't know.
- Nakamura: Then permit me to reassure you. I think Major Gruver is brave, but, uh, not so brave enough to face the censure that would result from such a marriage. As for our famous, honored Hana-ogi, there are many Japanese - most of them, in fact - who look upon marriage to an Occidental with as much distaste as your people do to one of us.
- Nakamura: [continues] I do not feel that way, but then I have had the privilege of traveling in your country and knowing some great people there. And I am especially conscious at this moment that beauty is not confined to any one race.
- Nakamura: You - did not enjoy the evening so much, l fear, Maj. Gruver.
- Major Gruver: Oh, yeah, l thought it was a fine play. l thought maybe you could use a Marilyn Monroe here and there, you know.
- Nakamura: Unfortunately, Miss Monroes were barred from Kabuki in the 17th century.
- Major Gruver: Well, l didn't mean to sound corny. l just didn't know what to say about it.
- Nakamura: Oh, please, do not apologize. l am great admirer of Miss Monroe - myself.
- Major Gruver: Well, that's two of us. That's you and me, boy
- Nakamura: Do not turn away, Miss Webster. l am not - necessarily making love to you. l am only stating a very - obvious fact. May l see you again, Miss Webster -and acquaint you with more Japan?
- Eileen Webster: Of course. l need to know more, much more - about everything.
