• Seafood Restaurant Owner : You're just in time. I just got some salted sea cucumber from home.

  Shûkichi Sugiyama : Sounds good. Some warm sake, please.

• Seafood Restaurant Owner : I also got some Mayoya oysters. Want some?

  Shûkichi Sugiyama : Sounds good.

  Seafood Restaurant Owner : Any special way?

  Shûkichi Sugiyama : Afterward, with rice gruel.

  Seafood Restaurant Owner : Okay.

• Shûkichi Sugiyama : I once went to Kashiko Island.

  Seafood Restaurant Customer : Nice place. You in the pearl business?

  Shûkichi Sugiyama : No, I'm actually a banker. The sea's so blue there.

  Seafood Restaurant Customer : And deep too. I took a ferry tour around the whole island. Pearls need a place like that in order to grow naturally. The late Mr. Mikimoto sure found the right spot.
