- Mr Yamada: [explaining the success of his restaurant to Oscar] I have a take-out trade that is dynamite with the college crowd. They think it is hip to eat nip.
- Mr Yamada: [in a flashback, Felix meets Japanese soldier Yamada on Guadalcanal] I have not eaten in week. I have been rost.
- Felix Unger: Lost?
- Mr Yamada: [confirming Felix's repetition, not correcting him] Rost.
- Felix Unger: They told us this place was just infested with Nips... uhhh... with you people.
- Mr Yamada: Don't believe everything you hear. They told me I be making love with Betty Grable on White House lawn by Christmas.
- Felix Unger: [Yamada asks for food, so Felix, always the gentleman, offers to cook him something] How'd you get lost?
- Mr Yamada: I was a kamikaze pilot. I got nervous and make a safe landing.
- Felix Unger: Why didn't you go back?
- Mr Yamada: They only gave me one-way map.
- Mr Yamada: [Felix's criticism drives away Yamada's chef, and then his inept cooking drives away the customers, as Yamada surveys the damage] Knife-hole in the wall - nice decoration. Charcoal eel. No more customers, which is OK, because I no longer have any help. That's a nice balance. Finally got even for Pearl Harbor.
