• Servant : A Mr. Kameda has arrived.

  Ono, Ayako's father : Mr. Kameda?

  Mutsuo Kayama, the secretary : He met Taeko at my place today.

  Taeko Nasu : I asked you to bring him. Why didn't you? Show him in.

  Servant : Yes, Ma'am.

  Ono, Ayako's father : Why him of all people?

  Taeko Nasu : You mean, because he's an idiot? I don't believe he is. On the contrary, he may be a good deal more astute than either of you. Especially at seeing into another person's heart.

• Ono, Ayako's father : What's it matter anyway? That language of flowers is foreign. It doesn't apply in Japan.
