- Ine: If I went back, then what? I'd be digging graves. I'd hunt animals. I hate being poor, eating only barnyard millet. In Edo, not even dogs eat it.
- Genji: You'd rather make money with that show? You looked ridiculous.
- Ine: Maybe I don't. look great, so what? I'm not selling my body, but my art. What's wrong with taking money showing them what they want?

- Senmatsu: We sold her.
- Genji: You sold her?
- Senmatsu: It was either sell her or not eat! It wasn't just us. All the poor sold their daughters and wives.
- Genji: Senmatsu! She's my wife!
- Senmatsu: She's your wife? You left her alone for five or six years. You were wandering in America. Don't call yourself her husband, you scoundrel!

- Ine: [speaking] Not bad for an American song.
- Genji: America is an insanely big country. The land is fertile. Corn, beans, wheat. You can grow anything, as much as you want. It's easy to cultivate the land. You can own the land fair and square. The farmers are totally different from the peasants in Japan. Japanese peasants are just slaves.

- Furukawa: Well, well. I was asked to stir up that very thing, too. I got money from them to.

- Furukawa: He's not as ruthless as you are.
- Ine: Cowards! Idiots! You bastards are always like this. You can only bully and prey on the weak. Scum! Wimps! Morons! Peasants!
