Fumiko Mamiya : Hear, hear!

Koichi Mamiya : You're always bringing up etiquette at every turn, expecting men to be kind to women. But you're mistaken. Men and women should both respect each other. That's what etiquette means.

Koichi Mamiya : She's 28 already.
Shukichi Mamiya : That's right. I hope it's a good match.

Shige Mamiya : That's too old for Noriko.
Fumiko Mamiya : That's right.
Koichi Mamiya : How old old is good? She isn't so young herself. She can't be too choosy or she'll never get married. As long as he's respectable, we shouldn't be picky.
