[door opens]
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]
