Quotes 

• [after factory inspection] 

  Misao Fujimura : [to Konosuke]  You're such an idiot!

  Sensei : A hopeless idiot!

  Konosuke Shimodaira : Eh? Ha! You're just jealous 'cos they gave me the special treatment.

  Misao Fujimura : They have a motive: to close down the factory!

  Konosuke Shimodaira : Eh? Didn't seem that way to me, they seemed to be nice! Anyway, even if it's true we have our rights as laborers.

  Sensei : If, as a matter of, when they find a fault, they'll close us down!

  Misao Fujimura : He's right, they're taking advantage of our faults.

  Norihiko Nakahata : And Konosuke is fault itself.

  Konosuke Shimodaira : What? So, so you mean *that* was the reason they gave me the special treatment back there?

  Misao Fujimura : Finally got it, eh?

  [Konosuke laughs hysterically] 

  Konosuke Shimodaira : [Seriously]  How dare he...

• [to Kaori] 

  Yosaku : So, where's you rich and handsome boyfriend?

  Misao Fujimura : Yosaku!

  Yosaku : Why are you here in this run-down dump eating re-heated ramen when you're the mistress of one of the richest men in Tokyo?

  Sensei : Yosaku, leave her alone!

  Yosaku : I bet she's been taking infomation back to him. We can't trust her! He's probably going to put her up some where, like rich men do with their mistress, while we'll all be out on the street. They probably spend their evenings laughing at us over a glass of wine - she probably thinks she's better then us 'cos she's got her claws into Harashima. Filthy whore ...

  [Yosaku goes to attack Kaori, Sensei holds him back] 

  Sensei : Yosaku, that's enough!

  Yosaku : Why, it's true isn't it? Kaori is Harashima's lover.

  [Long pause] 

  Kaori Fujimura : I don't care what you think of me.
