- Kaoru: Yahiko, what happened to your shoe?
- [Yahiko peers down and remembers that Tsubame fixed it]
- Sanosuke Sagara: Hmm. Could it be that you got your girlfriend to tie it together for ya?
- Kaoru: Did you say girlfriend?
- Yahiko (1996-1998): What? No, it's not that at all!
- [embarrassed, Yahiko stuffs as much food into his mouth as he possibly can]
- Tsubame: [Tsubame walks into the area where Yahiko and his friends are eating] I brought everyone some tea.
- Twin Girls: Hey! It's Tsubame!
- [Yahio spits his rice all over Sagara Sanosuke's face]
- Nagaoka Mikio: Well? How much was there?
- [Tsubame doesn't say anything]
- Nagaoka Mikio: I asked you how much there was!
- Tsubame: Not much of the money stays at the Akabeko. The earnings are taken back to the owner's house every day.
- Nagaoka Mikio: Heh. Just like I figured it was. You made a imprint of it, right? Of the key I mean. I told you to make a imprint of the key of the owner's house didn't I?
- Tsubame: You mustn't! You were the Shogun's vassal. If you become a thief you'll be slinging mud on his name Lord Mikio.
- Nagaoka Mikio: And since when were you allowed to tell me what to do, you bitch?
- [he slaps Tsubame, knocking her to the ground]
