Blue! Blue! Kill the red! Red! Red! Knock blue dead! It doesn't matter which side wins, you're all still going to lose! Kill 'em all, who cares whose side is whose? Red may lose today, but blue will lose tomorrow! There are too many with nowhere to burrow! When you win the battle, where do you plan to stay? While you all were fighting, the forest went away! Red will lose tomorrow and blue will lose today! [She moves in between Seizaemon and Gonta, who are in the middle of a fight, and as she chants, she turns to face both of them. Both military leaders look at Oroku in astonishment. Seizaemon grimaces; Gonta gapes, wide-eyed] Slaughter everybody, kill as many as you can! Wipe each other out, that's part of our plan! Massacre, annihilate, shoot down the ranks! [A few yards away two tanuki have stopped fighting and are dancing to Oroku's beat] Do us this favor and we'll give you our thanks! It's about time our numbers shrank! Those of us remaining must keep our families small! Have another cub and you will lose it all! The forest is shrinking at such a rapid rate! We must act soon, let's hope it's not too late!

Oroku When I said go out into the world and make some money, I did not mean it literally!
Oroku The forests of Tama Hills are our home. So you can't keep destroying them all! This plea is from every living creature in the forest.
Osho A raccoon fell out of the tree! Yes, that's right. Who can tell me *why* the raccoon fell out of the tree? Gonta?
Gonta He was a loser. I wouldn't have fallen.
