Mugen quotes from Samurai Champloo

Mugen

[surrounded by guards]: You boys want a piece of me?

Jin

By starting this pointless squabble, you've done nothing but reveal just how vast your stupidity is. Please refrain from these moments of self-grandeur.

Mugen

Run that by me again.

. . .and after that you'll be able to get started on polishing the Buddha. You'll be happy to do that, right?

Mugen

Why don't I polish that pinhead of yours, you bald ass son of a bitch!

Sara

Mugen.

Mugen

That blows... you could at least pretend that I'd scared you, how'd you know it was me?

Sara

Everyone you meet has their own individual aura about them, it's something I can sense... you see, I've walk in darkness for a very long time, a person can grow accustomed to anything... I may have lost my sight but I have much inner sense for other things as a result, so please don't feel sorry for me.

Mugen

I think that's a bunch of bullshit... if you're happy, there's no way you would sing a song you sing.

Fuu

You never know Jin might decide to come back.

Mugen

The only way he's coming back is as if he's getting kicked in the nuts for trying to make a move on that chick.

Fuu

Can't you ever say anything intelligent?

Mugen

When you start, I'll start.

Mugen

Tell me who the hell are you?

Sara

What I can't see I can sense.

Mugen

(stumbling, bleeding) What?

Sara

Inside of you looms a simmering storm of hatred and rage, but perhaps what I'm actually sensing is sadness. It's as if... you've never once been loved by anyone; it's as if... you're just like me.

Mugen

You trying to say you can sense my moves before they even happen? What a load of crap!!

Mugen

She said something about her kid's life being on the line.

Fuu

She did? Well, if that true, then someone's forcing her to do this.

Jin

But who could that be?

Mugen

Take your pick. We've dined and dashed, snuck through a checkpoint, and, oh yeah, killed people.

Jin

That woman... can sense our moves before we made them.

Mugen

Kinda figured that.

Jin

Just like a fish.

Mugen

Huh?

Jin

Fish use the water surrounding their bodies to sense what will happen next... you can't fight the current, you have to flow with it. If you do that, you might just catch the fish.

Mugen

Where'd you hear that?

Jin

From the old man who saved my life.

Mugen

Huuuuuuuuh?

Sara

I realized something. My son's been dead for a long time now. This whole time, they've just been using me.

Mugen

Then, fight them.

Sara

I cannot. The government hired me. I just want you to live, Mugen.

Fuu

Oh... that's right. In the newspaper horoscope, it said to be careful of mushrooms.

Mugen

(Yells) Don't tell us after we've eaten them!

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Mugen

Huh? What the hell do you want?

If you're looking for Kasumi's daughter, she's crossed over to the island.

Jin

Do you know him? You know Seizo Kasumi?

I know he's a felon who abandoned his country and had his soul stolen by that foreign religion. I've heard that he fled here to Kyushu and that he was involved in the Shimabara Rebellion. I also know he's the man that the Shogunate wants eliminated more than anyone else. They've known all along that his daughter was trying to find him. In fact, it's helped them. They've let her run free this whole time so they're able to discover Kasumi's whereabouts. And now, although it pains me to say this, I have to insist that you two die right here.

Mugen

You're taking us on by yourself? You sure got a big pair on ya, pal.

[readies his sword ] Come, I hope that you don't disappoint me.

Fuu

But Mugen, I can't leave you.

Mugen

Don't give me that crap! Listen to me, I'm gonna be pissed off if we came all this way for nothin'. Get lost.

Fuu

I can't...what if they...

Mugen

I ain't gonna die. Have some faith in me, will ya?

Fuu

Oh Mugen...

Mugen

Beat it. (Fuu takes a step back) Go on. (Fuu takes another step back) I said go!
