Dad: I'm always here for ya when it gets dangerous. // I gotta follow the

way of Amitabha!

(T/N: Amitabha is a buddha, not THE BUDDHA, and the principal buddha of the Maeda family's sect. I can't really explain it any more, because Buddhism is complicated.)

Maeda: Huh?

Dad: You too. Yer startin' ta understand people.

Youkou: Huh?

16
Dad: I tried too hard ta raise ya my way, Fujio. // Then when Taison was born, I gave him part o' my name, cause I thought he'd inherit the temple.

(T/N: The "son" in Monson and Taison is the same kanji [尊] )

Maeda: ....

Dad: But I was wrong. // I shoulda been fairer with ya. That's where I

failed.

Shimabukuro: Wait, what? // What's going on...

Dad: But I ain't gonna force ya into anything. // Taison. Youkou. You can

decide if ya wanna inherit or not.

Yoneji: Why isn't he talking to you?

Fujio: ......

17
Dad: The people who come to my temple are gonna talk, but... // Ya gotta make yer own decisions in life. // Ya gotta realise your own dreams. // Ya gotta live fer yourself. // Ah?

Maeda: Dad...

Youkou: .....

Katsuji: It's getting dark. What time is it?

Dad: 6:00.

Yoneji: Shit! We were supposed to meet everyone else already!

18
Dad: Ya gotta go ta the hospital first! // Ya can't go back ta yer inn lookin' like that.

Someone: Oh...

Katsuji: We'd get kicked out for fighting if we went back now with our faces all fucked up...

Dad: No worries, I'll tell 'em a statue fell on ya or somethin'.

Youkou: .... // I'm...goin' home.

Maeda: Youkou.
