- *A scene where Mr Tanaka gives Ms Wendy a small gift after the meeting*Ms Wendy: "Sometimes they give you gifts, usually sweets. Receive with two hands, bow and thank them. You do not have to open the gift in front of them. If you open the gift, do not tear the wrapping paper, it is rude. Remember, gifting in sets of 4 are usually avoided, as the word for “four” is pronounced the same as the word for “death”."
- Ms Wendy: "Usually Japanese people like to go out for drinks after work or meetings. It is called “Nomikai” (Drinking party). You do not need to but you can build rapport by doing it. *Cut to the scene where everyone has drinks in their hands*Ms Wendy: "When going out for drinks, it's considered rude to drink before cheers (kampai!). You must wait until everyone gets a beverage. Do not sip. After cheers, keep an eye on your client’s glass. Before it gets empty, you order the next drink or pour the glass.*End the scene with everyone drinking and laughing*
