- Tokuyasu: Mr. Mano, Japan's becoming like America, isn't it?
- Gôzô Mano, the senator: What do you mean by that?
- Tokuyasu: Using a rifle to kill people. It's a pity to have lost such a fine man. The ambassador was trying his best to find a way to settle the trouble in Southeast Asia.
- Gôzô Mano, the senator: Tokuyasu, do you really mean what you're saying?
- Tokuyasu: What?
- Gôzô Mano, the senator: Your company exports weapons. Won't you be in trouble if peace comes to Southeast Asia? Isn't that so, Mrs. Tokuyasu?
- Noriko Tokuyasu: Yes.
- Tokuyasu: What are you talking about, Noriko? I'm no match for you, Mr. Mano.
- Gôzô Mano, the senator: The world's in terrible shape. Trouble between nations grows worse with terrorism breaking out all over the place. Everything's gone crazy!
- Tokuyasu: You should get yourself a bodyguard, Mr. Mano. You must take care. You can't tell who your enemies are.
- Gôzô Mano, the senator: Nonsense! I'm not afraid to die. A politician who fears his enemies would end up a nervous wreck.
