  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.

  Hanako : [desperately]  I beg of you! We have only each other.

  Lead Woman : [Lead Woman shouts - scolding Hanako angrily]  Mrs. Saigo! *This* is not the time.

  [firmly] 

  Lead Woman : We have all sent our husbands and sons to war. We all have to do our part.

  [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]
