Quotes 

• Haru Asano : What are you looking at?

  Iwao Enokizu : I travel a lot, so I like to look at maps. There's still a lot of places I haven't been to. I find it reassuring. Small as Japan is, it's still a big place. It's the opposite of you.

  Haru Asano : What do you mean?

  Iwao Enokizu : You're tighter than I'd expect. I can tell you haven't had kids.

• Iwao Enokizu : I'll go. Yeah, I'll go.

  Haru Asano : Then I'm going with you.

  Hisano Asano : Why would you do that?

  Haru Asano : It's destiny. Right, Professor?

  Hisano Asano : He's no professor. He's Iwao Enokizu.

  Haru Asano : Makes no difference to me. Take me to Okinawa or Taiwan or wherever.

  Hisano Asano : You could get yourself killed.

  Haru Asano : I don't care. What have I got to live for anyway?

• Iwao Enokizu : Your mother's an interesting woman.

  Haru Asano : Interesting? I'd just say different.

  Iwao Enokizu : No, really. She must have been through a lot. She's certainly not ordinary. There's something very unusual about her.

  Haru Asano : I guess that's why you're a university professor. You're a good judge of character.

• Haru's master : When will you learn to keep proper books? You're real slick with the secret accounts.

  Haru Asano : You said to keep two sets of books.

  Haru's master : There's a limit to what you can get away with, dummy.

• Haru Asano : I really don't know much about you, do I? Actually, when I think about it, I don't know a thing. And you know nothing about me either. But that's all right. Two strangers, like animals. Animals...

• Haru's master : You still got a thing going with that boy?

  Haru Asano : You have such an imagination.

  Haru's master : Don't give me that. I had Wakasa check up on you.

  Haru Asano : Isn't that nice. Look who's talking. You get yourself a new woman and take out a new mortgage on this place without a word to me. I hear you're financing a bar for your new squeeze. The man from the bank told me everything.

  Haru's master : Dumb ass. After 16 years, you should know how I operate. An eye for an eye.

• Hisano Asano : Where were you?

  Haru Asano : Tokyo.

  Hisano Asano : Tokyo? Why did you go there?

  Haru Asano : To see the professor.

  Hisano Asano : The one who stayed here?

  Haru Asano : Yes.

  Hisano Asano : That man's a murderer. There's a nationwide manhunt on.

  Haru Asano : I know.

  Hisano Asano : You knew and you still...? Where did you leave him?

  Haru Asano : He's here. Upstairs.
