"Staying at home all the time." "I did nothing in a dark room every day." "Until my mother came home." "I'm sorry." "It's not a normal story, is it?" "If you dislike me, please say so." "Strange." "I never imagined you'd had such an agonizing past." "Because ballet supported me." "You had talent." "I'm not sure." "But when I danced, it purified the dark side of me." "That's the reason why I never tried to kill myself." "I think... you're wonderful." "I've been looking for someone like you." "Darling." "Ryoko." "This is an opportune time." "Let me introduce you." "This is Asami." "No..." "She isn't good for you." "She's a very fine woman." "No... darling, no." "I want..." "I want you right now." "Asami." "That was a little mistake." "You made love to me... only once." "I expected something from you." "Was I stupid?" "Sorry." "Forgive me." "I'll do anything to give you pleasure." "I like doing this." "What are you doing?"

"Just wanting to have sex." "Everybody is the same." "Deeper, deeper..." "Deeper, deeper..." "Painful?" "Words create lies." "Pain can be trusted." "Right?" "You can feel pain." "You can study about the human body as well." "Deeper..." "This is the most painful point." "Am I right?" "Then here too." "Here as well." "Right?" "Deeper, deeper..." "Deeper, deeper..." "Deeper, deeper..." "Here we go." "Underneath the eyes is also very painful." "You only realize what kind of man you are..." "When you feel pain, you understand." "When you have a very agonizing experience." "Your son is called Shigehiko, right?" "Your son has to suffer pain, then you'll understand more." "Stop that!" "Stay away from my son." "You love your son, too?" "You're a liar." "You only love me, right?" "I've only got you." "But you have so many others." "I don't want to be one of them."

"I'm so happy" "I applied for the audition." "I was the luckiest one." "Because I didn't become the heroine of the movie." "But I became the real heroine." "Deeper, deeper..." "What's wrong, Dad?" "Who the hell are you?" "What the hell do you want?" "What's going on?" "Dad!" "Are you all right, Dad'?" "Dad!" "Call the police..." "Police..." "Is this the police?" "This is the Aoyama residence, Okusawa." "Please send an ambulance." "My father's been seriously injured." "And one woman too." "I don't know the details."
