Quotes

Le choeur de Tokyo

Edit
  • Shinji Okajima: A drowning man will clutch at straws.
  • Kaisha no Douryou (An Employee): Of course! We should protest! What are we waiting for? This isn't just about him. It's about us too! It's time to stand up for all of us working stiffs!
  • Shinji Okajima: You're full of fight. You go tell the boss.
  • Kaisha no Douryou (An Employee): Me? - - Then again, he lost the company money. You can't blame the boss.
  • Shinji Okajima: He was a bad boy, so I spanked him.
  • Shinji Okajima: You're lucky, you at least have a job. I'm still unemployed. My college degree makes me overqualified.
  • Shinji Okajima: No waitresses?
  • Omura Sensei (Teacher): No waitresses. My wife and I do all the work.
  • Shinji Okajima: Pretty waitresses can attract customers.
  • Omura Sensei (Teacher): Like they attracted you as a student?
  • Omura Sensei (Teacher): I've found a job for you. Teaching English at a girl's school. Do you speak English?
  • Shinji Okajima: Business is slow. We'll be lucky to get a month's pay.
  • Tsuma Sugako (His wife): Even a month's pay would be 120 yen.
  • Tsuma Sugako (His wife): You shouldn't lie to children. He's been dreaming of a bicycle for so long.
  • Shinji Okajima: Go call a rickshaw. Get ready to take her to the hospital.
  • Tsuma Sugako (His wife): I saw an awful sight on the way. It was you.
  • Shinji Okajima: I feel like I'm getting old. I've lost my spirit.
  • Rou-Shain Yamada (Old employee): This is goodbye. This is my last day here.
  • Shinji Okajima: Why? You're a senior employee with a pension starting next year.
  • Rou-Shain Yamada (Old employee): I moonlighted as an agent and sold policies to a few customers who met unfortunate fates. One died the day after buying a 20,000 yen policy. He was hit by a car.
  • Shinji Okajima: You didn't run him over. It wasn't your fault.
  • Shinji Okajima: Poor kid. Let's buy him a bicycle.
  • Omura Sensei (Teacher): It's been many years since we parted. I'm glad to see you all in good health. May you all continue to prosper through hard work and self-reliance.
