-
Shuzo Taguchi : She really is beautiful.
Seiichiro Hirayama : I love talking to girls of that age.
Shuzo Taguchi : And the daughter's not bad either.
Soichi Mamiya : Ah, you meant her mother?
Shuzo Taguchi : Hasn't changed a bit.
Soichi Mamiya : Truly beautiful.
Seiichiro Hirayama : Yes, she is. But her daughter is nice too.
Soichi Mamiya : Sure, she's nice. On the other hand, Akiko is pst 40 already.
Shuzo Taguchi : If given a choice, I'd take the mother. A fine woman.
Soichi Mamiya : Yes, she is.
Seiichiro Hirayama : Are you serious?
Shuzo Taguchi : Absolutely. It's true what they say about men with beautiful wives dying young.
Soichi Mamiya : Miwa paid a steep price for his good fortune. She's grown even more attractive recently.
Shuzo Taguchi : You noticed too?
Soichi Mamiya : How could I not?
Shuzo Taguchi : You got to be dense not to feel it.
Seiichiro Hirayama : I feel it. Just not as much as you guys.
-
Seiichiro Hirayama : It's quite inconvenient living alone.
Soichi Mamiya : Inconvenient? You have your housekeeper.
Seiichiro Hirayama : That's true. Still there are certain things...
Soichi Mamiya : You mean - an itch you can't scratch?
Seiichiro Hirayama : Yeah, you might say that.
Soichi Mamiya : So you suddenly started to itch?
Seiichiro Hirayama : I guess.
-
Shuzo Taguchi : A man married to her might die young. Her body's so sturdy!
Soichi Mamiya : Like a pro wrestler.
Seiichiro Hirayama : If she got him in a head scissor...
Shuzo Taguchi : He'd never survive. His head would be crushed!
[all laugh]

Seiichiro Hirayama : Did you feel the earthquake last nigh?
Soichi Mamiya : Was there one? I didn't feel it.
Seiichiro Hirayama : Yes, there was. But just a small one.
-
Wakamatsu's Owner : You men should've bought aphrodisiacs, not cold medicine.
Shuzo Taguchi : That's true.
Soichi Mamiya : We didn't know about such things. Unlike youngsters today, we were pure and naive.
Wakamatsu's Owner : I wonder.
-
Shuzo Taguchi : You're late.
Soichi Mamiya : Yes, a bit.
Seiichiro Hirayama : It just started.
Soichi Mamiya : Then I'm too early.
-
Akiko Miwa : Mr. Taguchi is very amusing.
Soichi Mamiya : Too amusing! Everything he touches turns into a farce.
-
Fumiko : If Ayako gets married, Akiko will be left all alone.
Soichi Mamiya : She'll get by somehow. She'll have no choice.
Fumiko : Is Akiko as beautiful as ever?
Soichi Mamiya : Yes, very beautiful. But I like Ayako more. She's so pure.
Fumiko : Oh, really?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Shuzo Taguchi : Young women are straightforward these days, though a few are pretty odd.
Seiichiro Hirayama : But I can see her side.
Shuzo Taguchi : How so?
Seiichiro Hirayama : About love and marriage being separate.
Soichi Mamiya : That makes for a cold world.
-
Shuzo Taguchi : That's so crazy it just might work.
Seiichiro Hirayama : Stop kidding around. I'm not ready for that kind of thing. She's the widow of an old friend!
Shuzo Taguchi : Don't be so straight-laced.
Seiichiro Hirayama : Forget it! Out of the question. It's downright immoral.
Soichi Mamiya : What's so immoral? You're a widower. She's a widow.
-
Soichi Mamiya : Hirayama's serious.
Shuzo Taguchi : You know, she'd be wasted on him. She's so beautiful. You should have seen her on the verge of tears.
Soichi Mamiya : Really?
Shuzo Taguchi : Like a delicate flower battered by a rainstorm. She peeled an apple for me with those lovely white hands.
Soichi Mamiya : Did you eat it?
Shuzo Taguchi : Yes. It was delicious.
