The Insect Woman (1963)

Seizaburô Kawazu: Karasawa

Quotes 

• Tome Matsuki : Is that it? Is that how human beings are?

  Karasawa : Yes. That's how life is.

• Karasawa : I need a good girl for tonight. This guy is with Fuji Steel.

  Tome Matsuki : What time?

  Karasawa : It's already 4:00. Have her get ready now.

  Tome Matsuki : How about Miyako?

  Karasawa : Too young. Bribing this guy is a tall order. She's no better than Hanako. He's a handsome man.

  Tome Matsuki : Are you telling me to go?

  Karasawa : That way I wouldn't have to worry. If tonight doesn't go well, I'll really be sunk. It's do or die.

• Madam : So, what'll it be? Ban the red-light district and men will suffer.

  Karasawa : Hey, it's not my doing. It's those women in the Diet.

• Tome Matsuki : [together, nude in a hot tub]  I've always wanted this kind of security.

  Karasawa : Security? You feel secure with me?

  Tome Matsuki : Well, you have money.

  Karasawa : Money doesn't bring security. If a sumo wrestler loses three tournaments, his ranking drops. And if a sumo champion loses, he has to quit.

  Tome Matsuki : This is like a dream. Can I call you "father"?

  Karasawa : Why?

  Tome Matsuki : I don't have a real father. I like the sound of it. "Father." It has a nice ring.

• Karasawa : I won't interfere with your love life. You can have a lover or sleep with anyone you want - except twice a week. You're wonderful. I won't let you go, even if it kills me. Stay with me and I'll make you happy as long as you want. You've only seen the surface of happiness. I'll show you the real depths. I'll buy you anything, do anything.
