"They had Steve McQueen mixed up with Paul Newman." "Who cares!" "I care!" " It doesn't matter!" "it does!" "It's rude to both of them!" "It's all right!" "You don't have to correct them on that!" "No one wants to be corrected by a drunkard!" "You don't have to lecture them for two hours!" "I'm sorry." "was it?" "Didn't the principal scold you?" "Isn't that why you went drinking?" "Huh?" "I don't believe you!" "I don't know if you're a child or an adult." "Why does an art teacher tell his students that they don't have to draw if they don't want to?" "Because that's how it should be..." "That's not it! but you have to follow the rules in society." "I see." "Is that it?" "that's it." "You upset me!" "You're making me look like a very boring person." "I'm sorry." "Never mind already." "Really?" "Yeah." "Was it okay to leave work?" "it wasn't." "I'm sorry." "Forget it already."

"I'm not your guardian." "I'm younger than you." "Do you get it?" "Age doesn't matter." "You don't use it in that context." "age doesn't matter in love?" "True." "Sorry." "That expression again!" "What is it?" "Just felt like it." "You can't fool me." "It's nothing like that." "Say..." "Do you mean it?" "What?" "Are you glad that you married me?" "I am." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "Have I turned into a nagging old lady?" "it's your fault." "I know." "Are you saying that I have?" "that's not it." "Say..." "Do you remember the time that I proposed to you?" "I do." "You suddenly felt like proposing marriage to me so you came by bike to see me all the way from Kichioji." "Yeah." "You took someone's bike parked on the side and got lost along the way." "So you asked for directions at the police booth." "The officer asked me if the bicycle belonged to me." "So I had to go get you at the police booth." "you asked me to marry you." "I must be the only one to receive a marriage proposal in the middle of the night in a police booth." "Are you bragging?" "I'm not." "Stupid." "I'm glad I have you." "Shall we go there?" "Don't be silly!" "Suguru is at home alone." "That's true." "You're hopeless." "I haven't forgiven you yet." "I'm sorry." "You're on the way home from the police cell." "Do you understand?" "Say..."
