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.

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.
