Lead Woman: Congratulations! Your husband is going to war.
Saigo: Thank you very much. I'm happy to serve the country.
Lead Woman: [Lead Woman stares piercingly at Saigo and steps forward] Prayers for your eternal success at arms.

[looking down at Hanako's baby bump, and then... sympathetically]
Lead Woman: At least you'll have a little one to carry on your name.
[Lead Woman bows with authority and walks away]
