Kesa : [after Moritoo grabs her in a strong embrace] What are you doing?
Moritoo Endô : You refuse no matter what?
Kesa : Yes.
Moritoo Endô : Then I'm ready. You're mine now!
Kesa : No matter what you say, female virtue won't allow it.
Moritoo Endô : Drop your husband. Leave Wataru.
Kesa : I can't do that.
Moritoo Endô : Why can't you? I, Moritoo, will slay Wataru. I won't stop with Wataru. If needed, your aunt too. I might have to kill you too!
Kesa : [the camera moves in for an intense close-up of Kesa] Are you ready to do all that? Do you want me that much?
Moritoo Endô : I want you. I can't live without you. What do you say? Can't you grant my wish? Eh? Why don't you answer? Do you want Wataru, yourself, and your aunt all dead? Kesa! It all depends on your answer now.

Kesa : You're being unreasonable.
Moritoo Endô : I know it's unreasonable.

Kesa : Maybe my behavior was improper. Maybe that way why he was so unreasonable. It lies heavy on my heart.

Wataru Watanabe : I shall have a drink. It's been a while. You drink, too.

Kesa : Let me hear what you want.
Moritoo Endô : Tonight is the night I want you to hear what's in my heart.
Kesa : It's fruitless for me to listen.
Moritoo Endô : Lady Kesa, I'll throw away everything. You'll be the only one for me. Respond to what's in my heart.
Kesa : You're disgracing yourself.
