Quotes
-
Matsuji : [after Riyo cooks the same food several days in a row] Croquettes, again? City food! Why didn't you just marry a city boy?
-
Matsuji : You're so lucky you got a nice country wife.
Kanzaki : [drunkenly] Kana too good for me. Every time she looks at me with those tired eyes, she makes me so mad. I feel like a failure.
Matsuji : I don't deserve Riyo, either. If we had stayed in Japan, we would still be miserable millet and barley farmers.
Kanzaki : [hitting Matsuji playfully] What kind of Japanese are you, to say that?
Matsuji : [laughing] I AM Japanese!
-
Riyo : [after receiving her work payment] This can't be right! There should be more. I worked so hard...
Matsuji : Let's see.
[shuffles through Riyo's money]
Matsuji : No, it's all there. 65 cents a day minus things you buy at the plantation store. That comes to eleven dollars for the month. See, going back to Japan isn't as easy as you thought.
