Hiroshi Takahashi: We have so little time to say the things we mean.
Enoch Brae: I was looking for my girlfriend. I think she came this way.

Annabel Cotton: Nobody has passed through these woods for years. What did she look like?

Enoch Brae: She is about your height, brown eyes.

Annabel Cotton: Was she pretty?

Enoch Brae: Beautiful. Who are you?

Annabel Cotton: I am the spirit of this forest.

Enoch Brae: Can you help me?

Annabel Cotton: This girl, you must care about her a lot to come into the woods looking for her.

Enoch Brae: Very much.
Hiroshi Takahashi: I saw a Mitsubishi car today.

Enoch Brae: So what?

Hiroshi Takahashi: I used to fly a Mitsubishi.

Enoch Brae: You mean you used to crash a Mitsubishi.

Hiroshi Takahashi: Only once. A-5.

Enoch Brae: How do you get my battleship so quickly?

Hiroshi Takahashi: Instinct.
Hiroshi Takahashi: [to Enoch] Maybe you should stop going to strangers' funerals.
Annabel Cotton: He is kind of different.

Elizabeth Cotton: Different could be good.
Annabel Cotton: I'm so sorry for your loss.

Enoch Brae: You'll get there.

Annabel Cotton: Do another one.

Enoch Brae: So sorry for your loss. He'll be missed.

Annabel Cotton: Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Enoch Brae: Too formal.
Annabel Cotton: He's a ghost?

Enoch Brae: Yeah.

Annabel Cotton: A Japanese ghost?

Enoch Brae: Yeah.

Annabel Cotton: Do you speak Japanese?

Enoch Brae: No, he speaks English.
Enoch Brae: He says he likes your jacket.

Hiroshi Takahashi: No, I didn't!

Annabel Cotton: Thank you, Hiroshi.

Enoch Brae: He says he thinks you look really nice.

Hiroshi Takahashi: I still don't know why she's dressed like a boy.

Annabel Cotton: He's very complimentary.

Enoch Brae: He's a friendly ghost.
Annabel Cotton: I was lying, Enoch. About working at the hospital. I don't work there. I'm a patient.
Enoch Brae: How long?

Annabel Cotton: Three months. So I understand if you don't wanna...

Enoch Brae: A person can get a lot done in three months.

Annabel Cotton: You think?

Enoch Brae: Yeah. You could learn French, go to Africa, pick up the xylophone. Tons of stuff.

Annabel Cotton: I always wanted to be a world-renowned xylophone player.
Elizabeth Cotton: Your boyfriend's here!

Annabel Cotton: He's not my boyfriend. I'll be right up.
Hiroshi Takahashi: As I write this letter, the ocean breeze feels cool on my skin. That very ocean is soon to be my grave. They tell me I will die a hero. That the safety and honor of my country will be the reward for my sacrifice. I pray they are right. My only regret in life is never telling you how I feel. I wish I were back home. I wish I were holding your hand. I wish I were telling you that I have loved you, and only you, since I was a boy. But I'm not. I see now that death is easy. It is love that is hard. As my plane dives, I will not see the face of my enemies. I will instead see your eyes, like black rocks frozen in rainwater. They tell us that we must scream, "Banzai," as we plunge into our target. I will instead whisper your name. And in death, as in life, I will remain forever yours.
Annabel Cotton: Tell me about the birds, Enoch.

Enoch Brae: What?

Annabel Cotton: The songbirds. Why do they sing in the morning?

Enoch Brae: They sing because they're happy to be alive another day.

Annabel Cotton: I've sung every morning since I met you.
Annabel Cotton: It's fine. And if it's not fine, it'll be fine.
Annabel Cotton: Hey, I have a transfusion tomorrow. Do you want to come see me after?

Enoch Brae: I love it when girls ask me that.
Enoch Brae: When I think of things going a certain way, and then they don't, it's difficult.

Annabel Cotton: How's this gonna go?

Enoch Brae: This?

Annabel Cotton: You and me.

Enoch Brae: I don't know.

Annabel Cotton: That's the part where you say it's gonna go really well.
Elizabeth Cotton: You must be Enoch?

Enoch Brae: Must be.
Elizabeth Cotton: So how are you two getting around?

Enoch Brae: We're gonna take the bus. Nothing like public transportation to set the mood, right?

Elizabeth Cotton: The mood?

Enoch Brae: No mood, no mood. Just forget I said it.
Elizabeth Cotton: Annabel tells me you talk to a ghost.

Enoch Brae: She told you that?

Elizabeth Cotton: She did.

Enoch Brae: It's kind of a joke.

Elizabeth Cotton: Kind of?

Enoch Brae: I'm a good kid.
Elizabeth Cotton: Okay, so I have this all straight. You're a funeral-crashing dropout, with no car and a dead friend.

Enoch Brae: Sounds pretty not-so-good when you say it all together like that.
Hiroshi Takahashi: White people. You have to grab everything.
Hiroshi Takahashi: You have no respect for the dead. You have no respect for anything.
Enoch Brae: [the forester discovers Enoch and Annabel in his cabin, where they spent the night together] Oh, my God. We're saved!

The whole film is simple, fresh and warm in tone. Henry Hopper looks like Fu Lanlan No. 2 in some scenes, and he looks too fresh. Soothing and soft music is a plus, Ryo Kase's character is very interesting, and Mia's signature smile keeps telling us that life is beautiful even when it's not what it's supposed to be.

Having had such a clear love, perhaps death is not a terrible thing, even if it happens to us, we ourselves, at all times, cannot be peaceful. PS boys and girls, so cute.
