An inadvertent let-slip...

Not knowing who Itakura is, Gondo tells her about his filing system …

.

Gondo: Being retired is not simple.

.

Itakura: How so? Nothing to do, perhaps?

.

Gondo: Plenty. There’s the paperwork. It fills up the mailbox.

.

Itakura: Junk mail mostly though?

.

Gondo: You have to be careful. Some you can toss, yes. But if you don’t respond to some letters you could be out of pocket. Like miss a credit card payment and get charged penalty rates. Or find your health insurance has suddenly lapsed. Or the vehicle is unregistered. Or the tax office is coming after you.

Maybe I can help you...

.

Itakura: Be organized then.

.

Gondo: I am. I’ve now got a filing system with forty folders.

.

Itakura: Forty? That’s a lot.

.

Gondo: And in each one there are multiple subfolders.

.

Itakura: Maybe I can help you. Show me your files.

Voice-over

A lot of categories and subcategories. For example, the city office payments file: pension, national tax, local tax, aged tax, vehicle tax, national health insurance. Inspector Itakura will likely look there first. Alternative Itami Juzo plot twist.
