A scene from Letters from Iwo Jima 2006
Lieutenant Okubo

[The Japanese have captured a wounded American Marine]

Shall I finish him off?

Nishi

No. Treat him.

Lieutenant Okubo

But, sir -

Nishi

Okubo, you would expect the same, wouldn't you? Endo, treat him.

Medic Endo

We are low on morphine as it is.

Shimizu

Sir, the Americans would not treat a wounded Japanese soldier.

Nishi

Son, have you ever met one? Treat him. [Shimizu is lost for words]

Saigo Why are you always messing with me. It's got to be a joke! [An Allied shell lands right next to him, knocking him over. He sees the shell is a dud] Thank you, God! I take back what I said! Saigo We can die here, or we can continue fighting. Which would better serve the emperor? Saigo We soldiers dig. We dig all day. This is the hole that we will fight and die in. Am I digging my own grave?
