• Sakon Shiba : [Threatening to kill the Magistrate; his daughter physically intervenes]  For his victims' sake, I can't allow him to live.

  Aya : Please!

  Sakon Shiba : Move, or I'll kill you!

  Aya : Kill me, then. No matter what he's done, I'm still his daughter.

  Sakon Shiba : [the Magistrate breaks free and runs for it, but Shiba deftly cuts off his top knot with a quick thrust of his sword]  Let the lord see you in disgrace. Let the peasants see you in disgrace.

• Sakon Shiba : [Negotiating with the Magistrate the release of his daughter Aya, who's being held hostage by peasants]  Punish me and let the peasants go.

  Uzaemon Matsushita : Very well. I promise not to punish the peasants.

  Sakon Shiba : Magistrate, you're a samurai. I, too, am a samurai. This is a promise between samurai.

  Uzaemon Matsushita : I understand.

  Kyojuro Sakura : Everyone here is a witness. Be sure to send him back safely.

  Uzaemon Matsushita : I promise that, too.

  Sakon Shiba : We've made a pledge as samurai.

  [Releases Aya from custody] 

  Aya : [Freed, now facing Shiba, incredulous that he has released her from being a hostage]  Why should you be willing to do such a thing?

  Sakon Shiba : The peasants risked their lives. A samurai can do no less.

• Sakon Shiba : Why are you helping me?

  Aya : I don't know. It's just - I see people differently now. I see my father differently. I even see the world differently.
