00:02:55 There was no train in my childhood.

00:06:17 How is your mother? Very sick?

00:08:50 No, yours. Go now.

00:12:06 Fidgeting all the time while he is away.

00:15:09 Mother thinks they're children. I warned her.

00:20:20 What is it?

00:23:37 She's only jealous about us.

00:28:45 Will you massage me, Tamiko?

00:35:15 That makes me sad.

00:38:53 We should be kind to her.

00:42:09 You're late. Take a bath and eat.
