Yasuko Ikeda : Has Mr. Sato told you about our situation?
Keizô Ishizu : No. What is the situation?
Yasuko Ikeda : So he hasn't told you... My grandmother told me to play the piano for you. But we no longer have a piano. We've sold everything we could. Grandmother still thinks we have the piano. I thought for sure Mr. Sato had told you. Also... my father is currently in prison.
Keizô Ishizu : Oh, I see... Excuse me?

Yasuko Ikeda : If it's just for me, I can withstand any hardships. I can work if I want to. I can live without money. I don't have any obligation to my family. I don't long for my past. But... I can't expect my grandparents or my mother to feel the same way as I do. I know you're saving me.
Keizô Ishizu : That's not it. I'm good at making money. I've hated living in poverty since I was little. I thought about money all the time. And I was able to attain my dream. If I keep working hard, money will keep flowing in. I'll make lots of money! My dream is to make cars. Make lots of cars and build a great factory. Only money talks in this world. You can't do anything without money. So feel happy. I'll make lots of money for you. Before I build a factory, let's build our house. Doesn't that sound great?
