Tokyo Story quotes

  • Shukichi Hirayama: I'm surprised how children change. Shige used to be much nicer before. A married daughter is like a stranger.

    Tomi Hirayama: Koichi has changed too. He used to be such a nice boy.

    Shukichi Hirayama: Children don't live up to their parents' expectations. Let's just be happy that they're better than most.

    Tomi Hirayama: They're certainly better than average. We're fortunate.

    Shukichi Hirayama: I think so. We should consider ourselves lucky.

    Tomi Hirayama: Yes, we are very lucky.
