Masi Oka: Ringo, The Messenger

Quotes 

  • Ringo : Should I find us an inn for the night?

    Mizu : No. I need a brothel.

  • [Mizu mistakenly arrives at a brothel. She looks around and sees prostitutes making vulgar gestures and giving seductive looks. Realizing her mistake, she turns around to leave, but two prostitute workers grab her from behind by the shoulders and pull her in] 

    Momo : You look lost, lost boy. Come on inside. Rest awhile.

    Mizu : I'm looking for the Shindo Dojo.

    [Mizu hears commotion behind her and turns around. A naked man is thrown out of a room whilst holding his clothes. He gets up and walks out of the brothel] 

    Mizu : Which... this I see is not.

    Chiki : [suggestively moves fingers on Mizu's body]  This is better. This is the Shindo House. If you wanna show off your sword skills, you can do it here.

    Momo : We can polish the tip up for you.

    Mizu : [hurries out of the building]  I must decline. My business is urgent.

    Chiki : [gasps]  Most men grab first, ask prices later. You're different: Polite, sweet...

    [she motions her hand toward Mizu's crotch; Mizu quickly and firmly grabs her wrist and lifts her arm in rejection] 

    Chiki : ...but firm. Okay, lost boy. Walk east to the Kamo River. Take the bridge to the temple with the thousand creepy statues. It's on the hill just past.

    Mizu : I wish you a successful day of business.

    [Mizu bows. In the back, the puppet stand breaks and collapses. Ringo emerges from the pile] 

    Ringo : Uh-oh. Oh!

    [He sees Mizu and waves. Mizu sighs] 

    Mizu : How much for one night?

    [the second prostitute holds up five fingers. Mizu looks at Ringo, then back to the prostitutes] 

    Mizu : How much for three?

  • [a wounded Mizu gets in the hot springs. Under a small waterfall, she is sitting on her knees, in a bowing position. A flashback takes place to the past where Mizu tells Eiji that she's going on her quest] 

    Mizu : It is time for me to begin my quest.

    The Swordmaker : [pause]  Revenge is like gold. It does not rust. It will wait.

    Mizu : I am ready.

    The Swordmaker : You will get yourself killed.

    Mizu : I am ready. I am. I can never repay your kindness. When I told you my shame, you did not disown me, even though I'm hideous to men's eyes.

    The Swordmaker : I have no eyes, so... I can accept you.

    Mizu : [smiles]  I will always be grateful to you, Swordfather.

    [Mizu bows before Eiji. In the present, Mizu takes a needle and thread; she stitches her shoulder wound in the water. The scene now goes back to the same flashback] 

    Mizu : Before I leave, Swordfather... there's something more I must confess.

    The Swordmaker : You have spoken enough nonsense today.

    Mizu : We cannot part in a lie.

    The Swordmaker : That is your burden to keep.

    Mizu : I have made your swords unclean.

    The Swordmaker : Quiet! You came to me as a stupid lost boy. If you insist on leaving now, it will be as a stupid lost man.

    [Eiji turns away from Mizu. He begins sharpening a tool. Mizu lowers her head in sadness for a bit; then, she puts on her kasa and gets up to leave] 

    The Swordmaker : If you must do this, take a sword.

    Mizu : I already have one, Swordfather.

    [She empoweringly unsheathes her katana and taps its tip on the ground. The clanking sound creates a unique echoing chime that Eiji recognizes. He opens his blind eyes, knowing that Mizu had used the metal from the meterorite that he could not do. In the present, Mizu is lounging in the hot springs in peace. A dark figure moves through some trees. The footsteps alarm Mizu. She quickly gets out of the water to grab her sword. She aims it at the intruder, who happens to be Ringo] 

    Ringo : [surprised and spooked]  Ah!

    [after a second, Ringo realizes that it's Mizu. Even more still, he discovers that Mizu is, in fact, a female. Mizu, wet and naked, lowers her weapon and glares at Ringo] 

    Ringo : Peaches.

    [Screen goes black] 

  • Ringo : You got a girl. A *pretty* girl.

    [Akemi is tied up] 

    Ringo : Wait, how does that work?

    Mizu : She's not a girl. She's a princess. She's Taigen's princess, and she tried to kill me. She screams, kill her. She moves, kill her.

    Ringo : What? I can't kill her.

    Mizu : What do you think an apprentice does?

    [Ringo tries to glare intimidatingly at Akemi. Mizu leaves] 

    Akemi : Do you have to stare?

    Ringo : [looks away]  Sorry.
