"That wasn't the first time it happened to me like that." "That's why you were so calm." "I was not calm." "I was singing to forget." "It's depressing to watch you carrying on." "What's that mean?" "Your inferiority complex..." "You came to tell me that?" "Don't be mad, I'm a loser too." "Meaning I'm one?" "Not here to discuss that." "I thought I'd quit yakuza life." "Take care of my sister." "Hiroyuki's gone." "Took all his stuff, too." "Oh man..." "All that crap about keeping me company..." "You didn't wire the money." "Remember what you said!" "What the fuck is this?" "Put him on the phone." "Just one piece of gum, okay?" "...not there?" "Fine, you tell him, he's got one more day." "It's not blackmail, just part of downsizing." "...money's not there by tomorrow, the data's gone..." "No I can't wait..." "Hey, hey, hey" "Sometimes you gotta make your move" "To meet what's needed" "Gotta leave your normal self" "It won't happen tonight" "If you don't make your move" "Looks like no one's coming to take you home." "I'm sure your wife will come back." "Can't stand her." "But she was so pretty." "Are you okay?" "Go to sleep..." "Where has baby's nanny gone..." "Over that mountain... and back to her home" "Where'd you go?" "I guess I just fell asleep." "Got to get to the bank." "The bank isn't..." "It's just past 7:00 a.m." " Ryo?" " Asleep upstairs." "Oh, I see." "I'm sorry." "Lucky you have a bank to go to." "What I'm doing's wrong." "I'm betraying the company I worked for..." "I swiped their client database before they sacked me." "I'm really good at that sort of thing." "I like people... who are wrong." "2:00 tomorrow." "By the elephant then, Ryo." "No need..." "I'm going home to change." "I'm so happy." "For what?" "You changed from a dust heap into a pretty woman in love." "I never knew I could fall in love." "Get your hair done, too." "You come too." "Not for me, thanks." "Not in the mood." "I'm worried about Hiroyuki san too." "Thanks..." "Now off you go." "Can you come identify him..." "Where's the hostess?" "She's not involved." "We have to investigate..." "Does she work here?" "Go to sleep..." "Where has... baby's... nanny... gone..." "Not like that." "Like this?" "No." "Not like that." "You push through the water like this." "And your legs..." "You gotta teach me better." "In the middle of the night?" "Please show me how." "It was always my dream to learn how to swim." "...like a sea turtle laying eggs." "It's embarrassing just watching you." "Let's call it a night." "Not tonight." "I can't let you tonight." "Just stay with me here till morning." "That's all..." "You think too much." "My old lady would kill me." "Not the... ocean...?" "No rush, duckies."

"Promise me." "Just promise me one thing." "Before I say good-bye, make me this promise." "What?" "When the moon rises in the west, you'll marry me." "I don't understand what you mean." "And if we can't keep that promise and we meet again, after we're reborn will you promise it again?" "And if we can't keep that and we meet again, after we're reborn again, promise me again." "Call me a fool, but I don't get it." "All I want is a silly-old yes." "A silly-old yes?" "It won't do you any harm." "Then... yes." "I've got my reasons, I have to go now..." "Good-bye..." "Ryo, I'm sorry I can't play with you like I promised..." "Good-bye." "Fare thee well!" "What's reborn mean?" "Spinning round and round like this you..." "Fare thee well!" "Daddy's about to puke." "I hate high places and tight places." "Hello." "...it's me." "Shizuka!" "My real name is Masako Yoshimura." "Where are you?" "Where've you been?" "I'm sorry, Ritsuko san." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "Good-bye." "Don't do anything stupid." "Don't die." "Run." "Don't give up, keep yourself alive somewhere." "If only I could die..." "If only I could die..." "Listen." "When you get hungry... eat." "When you get hungry again, eat again." "Don't think about the rest." "Otherwise, I'd never have survived this long." "Where are you?" "I'll come and get you, tell me." "Thank you..." "I'm sorry." "Don't say good-bye!" "We'll see each other again!" "Good-bye." "I need you too..." "Hello..." "Yukari..." "Yukari..." "I thought you were going to be reborn." "We're done." "Grandma." "Lucky you found someone to look after you." "Bye, then." "Oh, say." "Could you fix this for me?" "I tore it on a nail." "She's got her hands full." "Everybody wants her for their mending." "My pleasure." "Tomorrow then." "Today, go enjoy the festival." "That's enough for today." "Wear this to the festival." "It was my daughter's, before she died." "Thank you." "I promised to deliver this today." "I won't be long." "Okay, then." "You look like her!" "I saw you on TV." "With the peace sign!" " When?" " Now." "Was it really me?" "The same eyes and nose." "...when she worked at a bar." "Yoshimura used an assumed name." "She narrowly escaped police apprehension, when she disappeared." "It is now seven months since she committed the murder..."
