• Ito : Old lady, do you think you could give this parrot to that monk?

  Old woman : That's impossible. He's a wandering monk, and a highly revered one too, but nobody knows where he is.

  Ito : We're leaving tomorrow. We're not asking you to search all over Burma, but if you see him, could you give him the bird?

  Old woman : What a strange request.

• Ito : Get that damn bird out of here!

  Old woman : This is the other parrot. He kept the one you gave him. He told me to bring you this one in return. He asked me to give this to the captain. He asked me to do that, and since it's the last thing I can do for you, I brought it.

  Captain Inouye : Time to go!

  Ito : There's a letter from Mizushima.

  Captain Inouye : There's no time now. I'll read it later.

  Ito : But Captain, what if Mizushima changed his...

  Captain Inouye : Mizushima isn't going to change his mind. Even if I read this now, it wouldn't make any difference.
