On the steamship:
Dusty: "We're about to reach there, kid."
Ryujiro: "Kid? I didn't know dads can be called kids."
Vasilisa: "Will you two ever stop arguing like kids!?"
Ryujiro: "Hmm hmm."
Dusty: "Talk to my girl with respect, kid."
Ryujiro: "I'm the one who brought your girl back to you, old guy."
Clyde smiles.
"Kids these days.."
Yuki: "Ryuku-kun is talking this much for the first time.. After meeting Dusty-San."
Zhang Liang: "I guess Dusty-San is the friend that Ryujiro-San needed.. For him to enjoy life again."
Ryujiro: "Huhh?? Did you say something."
Zhang Liang: "Uhhh. Nothing."

In Ryujiro and Yuki's room on the steamship:
"Ryuku-kun! Help me with this nagajuban! It's getting tight!"
(Nagajuban is a Japanese undergarment ladies wear under a kimono)
Ryujiro wakes up.
"Huh? You're just getting fat."
Yuki: "Shut up and come here!"
Ryujiro: "What?"
Yuki: "Can you get me the other one? This one's got tight."
Ryujiro: "Yeah.
Here."
Yuki: "Thanks. I'll change."
Ryujiro: "In front of me?"
Yuki: "Of course, love."
Ryujiro: "Uhmm.. okay.
Damnn those things are massive."
-"Shut up!"
A few hours later.
Wu Ming: "Ryujiro! The port is in front of us. We're almost there! Naples.. Italy."
