- Hisano Asano: Don't try to kill me, Enokizu. That's what you wanna do, isn't it?
- Iwao Enokizu: Ever since you walked out last night.
- Hisano Asano: So this is the second time? And the third time's the charm? Wipe that smirk off your face. I suppose you think we're alike as fellow killers?
- Iwao Enokizu: Not really. But I sort of feel like you're a prison buddy.
- Hisano Asano: Well, give it up. This isn't prison. It's the big wide world. And it sure has changed.
- Iwao Enokizu: No kidding. The whole world's gone crazy.
- Hisano Asano: But you know, when I killed that old battle-ax, I really wanted to. So I felt great after I did it. Is that how you feel right now?
- Iwao Enokizu: No.
- Hisano Asano: So you haven't yet killed who you really want to kill?
- Iwao Enokizu: Maybe not.
- Hisano Asano: Then you're a wimp. They'll hang you for sure.
- Shizuo Enokizu: Once things quiet down, change your name and remarry. Find someone who'll take your children in too.
- Kazuko Enokizu: I'm supposed to leave you all alone?
- Shizuo Enokizu: There's no other choice.
- Kazuko Enokizu: How will you get by?
- Shizuo Enokizu: I'm ready for the old folks' home. I'll sit there drooling in the sun. Once or twice a year, you can bring the kids to see me.
- Kazuko Enokizu: I'll come every day. I'll lick the drool clean from your lips.
- Iwao Enokizu: How's Dad? Same as always?
- Kayo Enokizu: Pretty much. He killed a dog the other day. Said the dog bit Kazuko, so he got mad and caught it. Buried it up to its neck and poured boiling water over its head.
- Iwao Enokizu: Dad did that?
- Kayo Enokizu: It was Kazuko who poured the boiling water. She's so headstrong, there's no telling what those two might do.
- Haru Asano: What are you looking at?
- Iwao Enokizu: I travel a lot, so I like to look at maps. There's still a lot of places I haven't been to. I find it reassuring. Small as Japan is, it's still a big place. It's the opposite of you.
- Haru Asano: What do you mean?
- Iwao Enokizu: You're tighter than I'd expect. I can tell you haven't had kids.
- Iwao Enokizu: Inspector, could you lend me some nail clippers? I haven't been convicted yet. I'd like to maintain good hygiene.
- Kazuko Enokizu: Iwao used to say you were dishonest. I think he's right.
- Shizuo Enokizu: Maybe so. But...
- Kazuko Enokizu: That's what I like about you.
- Iwao Enokizu: You say you'll never forgive me. But I won't forgive you either. If I was going to kill anybody, I should have killed you.
- Shizuo Enokizu: You couldn't kill me. You're not the kind who could kill his own father.
- Iwao Enokizu: You saying I'm not man enough?
- Shizuo Enokizu: You can only kill those who never harmed you.
- Iwao Enokizu: Damn you. Even now... I wish I could kill you.
- Iwao Enokizu: The woman was pregnant with my child. I'm positive she was. She was positive too. A tiny little me was starting to take shape in her womb.
- Iwao Enokizu: I'll go. Yeah, I'll go.
- Haru Asano: Then I'm going with you.
- Hisano Asano: Why would you do that?
- Haru Asano: It's destiny. Right, Professor?
- Hisano Asano: He's no professor. He's Iwao Enokizu.
- Haru Asano: Makes no difference to me. Take me to Okinawa or Taiwan or wherever.
- Hisano Asano: You could get yourself killed.
- Haru Asano: I don't care. What have I got to live for anyway?
- Kayo Enokizu: I asked a fortune teller about you the other day. She said you were destined to stand above others. Made me happy.
- Iwao Enokizu: Your mother's an interesting woman.
- Haru Asano: Interesting? I'd just say different.
- Iwao Enokizu: No, really. She must have been through a lot. She's certainly not ordinary. There's something very unusual about her.
- Haru Asano: I guess that's why you're a university professor. You're a good judge of character.
- Iwao Enokizu: A guy I was with in prison was doing his wife and her mother at the same time.
- Shizuo Enokizu: Iwao!
- Iwao Enokizu: I hope I'm born a woman in my next life, so I can be a bride in this house.
- Haru's master: When will you learn to keep proper books? You're real slick with the secret accounts.
- Haru Asano: You said to keep two sets of books.
- Haru's master: There's a limit to what you can get away with, dummy.
- Haru Asano: I really don't know much about you, do I? Actually, when I think about it, I don't know a thing. And you know nothing about me either. But that's all right. Two strangers, like animals. Animals...
- Haru's master: You still got a thing going with that boy?
- Haru Asano: You have such an imagination.
- Haru's master: Don't give me that. I had Wakasa check up on you.
- Haru Asano: Isn't that nice. Look who's talking. You get yourself a new woman and take out a new mortgage on this place without a word to me. I hear you're financing a bar for your new squeeze. The man from the bank told me everything.
- Haru's master: Dumb ass. After 16 years, you should know how I operate. An eye for an eye.
- Tanejirô Shibata: This here is Daihachi the Rock.
- Daihachi Baba: There you go again.
- Tanejirô Shibata: His real name is Daihachi Baba. As incorruptible as a rock, so everybody calls him the Rock.
- Iwao Enokizu: I guess that makes you and him opposites.
- Hisano Asano: Where were you?
- Haru Asano: Tokyo.
- Hisano Asano: Tokyo? Why did you go there?
- Haru Asano: To see the professor.
- Hisano Asano: The one who stayed here?
- Haru Asano: Yes.
- Hisano Asano: That man's a murderer. There's a nationwide manhunt on.
- Haru Asano: I know.
- Hisano Asano: You knew and you still...? Where did you leave him?
- Haru Asano: He's here. Upstairs.
- Shizuo Enokizu: I went to see the priest today. You're being excommunicated.
- Iwao Enokizu: It's about time!
- Shizuo Enokizu: So I can't bury you in the family plot. Yesterday... your mother passed away. But now when you die, I can't bury you next to your mother.
- Iwao Enokizu: Forget it. Just throw my bones in some dump.
