Kumayama Quotes in Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)

[Kumayama, a shady businessman, announces he has just purchased a giant monster egg that washed ashore in Japan from the fishermen who hauled it in]

Villager: It was taken from our fishing waters, so it belongs to us.

Kumayama: Here is the receipt.

Reporter Jiro Nakamura: How much did you sell it for?

Villager: 1,224,560 yen.

Reporter Jiro Nakamura: That's an odd number.

Kumayama: Don't you know it's a fair price? Wholesale chicken eggs cost eight yen apiece. I figured this giant egg would be equal to 153,820 eggs. Multiply them by eight yen.

[the reporters and the scientist are trying to persuade the executives of Happy Enterprises to give up the giant egg]

News Photographer Junko 'Yoka' Nakanishi: You should return the egg to its rightful owner.

Kumayama: You keep saying about the 'rightful owner.' Is the rightful owner's name written on that egg?

Reporter Jiro Nakamura: No, but it's pretty clear it's Mothra's egg.

Kumayama: [shocked; looks at his partner] Mothra?

Banzo Torahata - U.S.:Shiro Torahata: [scoffs at this] Hmmph. Are you saying you have power of attorney from Mothra? Kumayama, it's no use talking with them. Ask them to leave.
