Teacher Kitano : Life is a game. So fight for survival and see if you're worth it.

Teacher Kitano : So today's lesson is, you kill each other off till there's only one left. Nothing's against the rules.

Teacher Kitano : Are my classes boring?
Noriko Nakagawa : Yes.
Teacher Kitano : How dare you!
Noriko Nakagawa : [chuckles]
Teacher Kitano : I go into class, you guys look like a pile of potatoes. Slapping them around helped me tell them apart, even got to like them. But now, not anymore. Now you touch a student, you're fired. Can't even lose it when a student stabs you!
Noriko Nakagawa : I'll tell you just one thing.
Teacher Kitano : What?
Noriko Nakagawa : That knife that stabbed you... actually I keep it in my desk at home. When I picked it up, I wasn't sure... but now, for some reason, I really treasure it. It's our secret, okay? Just between us.
Teacher Kitano : Listen, Nakagawa.
Noriko Nakagawa : Yes?
Teacher Kitano : What do you think a grown-up should say to a kid now?

Teacher Kitano : [phone call from his daughter] Hello?... Shiori?... Listen, I won't be coming home again... Listen, if you hate someone, you take the consequences... Irresponsible? Who the hell asked you?

Teacher Kitano : What? Go ahead. Shoot. Nakagawa, you can do it. Nakagawa, you can do it.

Teacher Kitano : [phone call from his daughter] Hello?
Shiori Kitano : Hello, mister.
Teacher Kitano : Oh, Shiori?
Shiori Kitano : Mom's feeling bad again.
Teacher Kitano : On a business trip, can't get home 'til tomorrow.
Shiori Kitano : Huh. Don't bother coming home. Hanging up.
Teacher Kitano : Huh...
Shiori Kitano : Mister, don't breathe like that. Your bad breath even stinks over the phone.
