Eiko Quotes in Hadashi no Gen (1983)

Eiko: You know this is supposed to be for mother.

Gen Nakaoka: What do you mean for her?

Shinji Nakaoka: Why'd she give it to us then?

Eiko: Oh she was just being nice. You know Mother needs to be strong for the baby that's coming. So if you eat this potato, the baby will die. Now, do you both still say you want it?

Kimie Nakaoka: Eiko, go on, it's alright dear, let your brothers have it.

Eiko: But Mother, it's not fair, the baby needs more than they do. Here you take it, please, eat it for the baby.

Daikichi Nakaoka: What is it, Eiko? What's the matter?

Eiko: It's just that the last of the rice is gone, Father, and we have no money to buy anymore.

Daikichi Nakaoka: Don't worry, something will come along, we'll find the money.

Eiko: We just have to keep at it and finish our work, maybe then we'll get paid what we're owed.
