Priest
I don't want to hear it. No more horror stories.
Commoner
They are common stories these days. I even heard that the demon living here in Rashômon fled in fear of the ferocity of man.

Priest A man's been murdered.
Commoner So what? Only one? Why, up on top of this gate, there's always five or six bodies. No one worries about them.
Woodcutter Selfish!
Commoner What's wrong with that? That's the way we are, the way we live. You just can't live unless you're what you call selfish.
Woodcutter Damn it. Everyone is selfish and dishonest. Making excuses. The bandit, the woman, the man, and you!
Commoner It sounded interesting, at least while I kept out of the rain. But if it's a sermon, I'd sooner listen to the rain.
