• Man in White Suit : I'll kill you if you make that noise once the movie starts! Understand? And... I also don't like watch alarms going off.

• Gangster's Mistress : Darling! Hold on! Try to hold on! Darling!

  Man in White Suit : Did I ever tell you?

  Gangster's Mistress : About what?

  Man in White Suit : About hunting wild boar. In winter... there's nothing for boar to eat... so they root for yams. All they eat are yams. So when a hunter shoots one... he has to quickly slit its belly, pull out the guts, and grill them over a fire. The intestines... are stuffed with yams. Yam sausages, you see? You grill them... slice them, and eat them hot. Sounds good, huh?

  Gangster's Mistress : Yes... perfect with soy sauce and wasabi. Darling, what is it? Please hold on!

  Man in White Suit : I wanted so much... to eat them with you.

  Gangster's Mistress : You will! You'll get better soon... and we'll go hunt wild boar. Darling! Please don't die!

  Man in White Suit : Hush now. My final movie is starting...

• Man in White Suit : You're at the movies too, huh? Whatcha eating? You know how during movies some people eat potato chips and crinkle wrappers? I really can't stand... Tasty?

  Man eating snacks before movie : Yeah. Curry flavor.

  Man in White Suit : Make that noise after the film starts and I might kill you. You hear me? I also won't tolerate watch alarms beeping. But here's what I really don't want interrupted: They say that at the moment of death, you see a sort of short film, your whole life kaleidoscoped before your eyes. I'm really looking forward to that. A person's last film. And I don't want it interrupted! 'Darling, please don't die!' Stuff like that. None of that, you hear? Looks like our movie's starting.
