Quotes 

• Tami Yabe : We had a strange visitor this morning.

  Shige Mamiya : Who was it?

  Tami Yabe : I'd never seen him before. A man with parted hair, glasses and a black bag. I thought he was from the tax office, be he wasn't.

  Shige Mamiya : Who was he?

  Tami Yabe : He was from a detective agency. He asked me about Noriko. I realized it was about her marriage.

• Shige Mamiya : That's too old for Noriko.

  Fumiko Mamiya : That's right.

  Koichi Mamiya : How old old is good? She isn't so young herself. She can't be too choosy or she'll never get married. As long as he's respectable, we shouldn't be picky.

• Shukichi Mamiya : How time flies. Koichi married with children. And now Noriko's getting married. This may be the happiest time of our lives.

  Shige Mamiya : You think so? We could be happier.

  Shukichi Mamiya : We mustn't want too much.
