translation:
Haru: I would like to rent one of your lodgings, is the cost great?

Desk Manager: Compared to what? A hut and a rice patty? Sir, we are a five star hotel, with 600 rooms, booked 6 months in advance.

Haru: I have money.

Desk Manager: I'm sure you do, but unfortunately, we don't take Wompum.

Haru: Do you perhaps - take Gold?
[pours out about 15 pieces of gold]

Desk Manager: [rings bell] Front!
Desk Manager: Perhaps I shall send Dom Perignon to your room?

Haru: I prefer to be alone tonight, perhaps later I will meet your friend Don.
