Kai quotes from 47 Ronin (2013)

Riku

They told me you were hurt

Kai

It's nothing, My Lady

Riku

Your back. Sit down. [Attends to his back wound] Someone should have seen to this before

Kai

Thank you

Riku

I saw the shame in Yasuno's eyes when they were praising him. Even when you try to help them, they hate you.

Kai

Your father's samurai have always treated me as well as can be expected

Riku

And is that all you expect?

Kai

It's all I know

Riku

It doesn't have to be, Kai [Kai glances down and back at her]

Kai

This is no place for you, my lady.

Riku

Are you sending me away? Look at me and tell me you don't love me.

Kai

I will always love you. But you have your place. and I have mine.

My father taught me this world was only a preparation for the next, that all we can ask is that we leave it having loved and being loved.

Kai

I will search for you through 1,000 worlds and 10,000 lifetimes until I find you.

I will wait for you in all of them.

Ôishi

When a crime goes unpunished the world is unbalanced. When the wrong is unavenged the heavens look down on us in shame. We too must die for this circle of vengeace to be closed. We will leave this record of our courage so the world will know who we were and what we did. Tonight, we will regain our honor and avenge our lord. None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come, but soon, all that will be left of our brief lives is the pride our children feel when they speak our names. [Summons Kai to sign the document] Kai.

Was it worth it what you found in the outside world? The love of a woman you can never have?

Kai

Yes.

No matter what you do, Mika will never be yours in this life.

Kai

Then I will go to my death and pray I find her in the next!

Kai, I have a confession to make. When I was a boy, I used to wait in the woods outside your hut and when you came out, I threw stones at you and hide.

Kai

I knew it was you. I could see your belly sticking out from behind the trees.

I'm sorry, Kai. You're a good man.

Ôishi
