Umeno : I'm one of the crooks.
Sassa the yojimbo : That's right. This woman can be quite vicious. She uses yakuza, officials, and townsmen. She doesn't care who it is as long as she gets the money. Yours truly here is quite a crook, too. I can outdo the best of them. I'm at the top when it comes to being bad. A villain. How do you like that?
Zatoichi : Actually, I'm quite a crook as well.
Sassa the yojimbo : If you are, then behave like one.

[Sassa is lazing on his back again]
Sassa the yojimbo : Zatoichi has become Eboshiya's bodyguard, you say?

[Sassa heaves himself up]
Sassa the yojimbo : You know how expensive he is? He'll cost you 200 ryo.
Boss Masagoro : What? 200 ryo? Don't be so greedy.
Sassa the yojimbo : Well, you're dealing with a greedy man.
[He gets to his feet]
Boss Masagoro : W-wh-where are you going?
Sassa the yojimbo : I'll get money somewhere else.
Boss Masagoro : Sensei!
Sassa the yojimbo : [mimicking Masagoro] "Sensei!" Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

Sassa the yojimbo : Can I stay here tonight?
Umeno : You're already staying here. It's almost dawn.
Sassa the yojimbo : Tell me if you want to sleep with me. I want you badly.
Umeno : You must have killed someone in your dream. And now you're scared so you want me. Are you going to pay me?
-
Zatoichi : Is Umeno here?
Sassa the yojimbo : You're not worthy of saying her name. Did you sleep with her?
Zatoichi : No, she kindly held my hand and guided me. That's all.
Sassa the yojimbo : I figured. She wouldn't sleep with a monster. But she has changed.
Zatoichi : Are you saying she would sleep with a monster now?
Sassa the yojimbo : She doesn't care who she sleeps with.

Sassa the yojimbo : I couldn't even afford tea in Edo. I could barely feed myself on what I made. While some enjoyed broiled eels, I would get the scrapings off the sticks.

Zatoichi : You're behaving like a two-bit samurai today.
Sassa the yojimbo : That's right. The kind you despise the most.

Sassa the yojimbo : Don't you touch her!
Zatoichi : I don't have to touch her to feel her warmth.

Sassa the yojimbo : Why do you ruin my mood each time? The sake tastes bad now.
