Daredevil in the Castle (1961)

Toshirô Mifune: Mohei

Quotes 

• Saizo Muin : [as Mohei has wrestled him down]  Wait! Wait, wait, wait! You're from the castle, aren't you?

  Mohei : You don't look like someone from the castle either.

  Saizo Muin : Are you an Oga man or a Koga man?

  Mohei : I'm just a man.

  Saizo Muin : Aren't you a ninja?

  Mohei : Are you a ninja?

  Saizo Muin : Oh, I know who you are.

  Mohei : Hold it. I don't have any ninja friends.

  Saizo Muin : When they dangled you from Horai Bridge, I was the one who cut the rope. Don't you remember?

• Mohei : I'd feel awkward if I was fed without working.

• [Mohei is suspended from a bridge by a rope, kicking, flailing and trying to pull himself up] 

  Mohei : Why don't you just let me down? Let me down now!

  Mountain samurai : We can't let you off so easily. An outlaw like you should be tortured to death.

  [the samurai poke at Mohei with sticks, but Mohei tries beating them back with his own stick. A mysterious, well-dressed man comes by and sees the commotion] 

  Saizo Muin : Mr. Mountain Samurai, you're being too cruel to a human life.

  Mountain samurai : What?

  Saizo Muin : Even a frog would return to curse you if you made it suffer a slow death.

  Mountain samurai : We're making an example out of him.

  Saizo Muin : There are other ways to make an example.

  Mountain samurai : What would you do, then?

  Saizo Muin : I'd do this if I were you.

  [He cuts the rope, sending Mohei plunging into the river] 

  Mountain samurai : Damn you!

  [He lunges at the stranger but he dodges his blows and bounds over the crowd onto one of the bridge beams] 

  Saizo Muin : Remember me. I'm Kirigakure Saizo.

  Mountain samurai : Get him!

  [the samurai start off in pursuit, but one of the other samurai diverts their attention to something else: a young woman has pulled Mohei from the river and is rowing away] 

• Mohei : I came to Osaka to work. Because we joined the Battle of Sekigahara, everyone in my family died while I survived. Now that I'm a war orphan, I came to Osaka to work and start my life over.

• Mohei : Being a samurai is uncomfortable, isn't it?
