There was a bunch of Japanese words that I didn't understand, but I
expect that's par for the course.

"Oyasumi" means "good night."
"Tou-sa" and "Kaa-sa" would be "Dad" and "Mom," respectively, but said
in a very Osaka way.
"Ee" and "Un" are ways of saying "Yes," "Mm-hm," or any other article of
acknowledgement.
"Anata" is literally "you," but when used between a married couple, it's
a way of saying "dear" or "honey."
"Omiai" is, literally, "see and love."  In essence, it's an arranged
marraige.

Maybe a glossary would be a good idea. ^^;

As a sidenote, was I the only one who kept expecting that the girl
would go to a beach and shoot an Arab? Maybe Existentialism is finally
getting to me...

No Camus for you!

Personal impressions are that this part is a very good Osaka piece, and
the second part feels exactly like an Azu episode.  Nice job. ^^
