Ashi quotes from Samurai Jack

Ashi

You worthless scum! I will kill you! You can never escape from Aku! You will die! You will die a horrible death! And Aku will sing, for he is free of the parasite that you are! Die, Samurai! DIE, SAMURAI! DIE, DIE, DIE! DIE, SCUM! YOU WILL DIIIIE!

Ashi

We did it! Samurai, we saved them! [Ashi becomes concerned that Jack is nowhere to be seen] Samurai? Samurai? SAMURAI JAAAAAACK!

Ashi

Die! Die! Why won't you die?! Scum, Aku will be triumphant! I will undo the evil that is you, Samurai! I will kill you as long as I have breath in my body! I will strike you down! Long live the glory of Aku!

...You are very troubled, and very confused. Aku is the evil one, not me. I have known of machines that are programmed with such hate and lies, but never a human.

Ashi

Deceiver! Worm! Scum!

Now you're just repeating yourself.

[to himself] I wonder if it is possible for her to believe that Aku is evil and not me.

Ashi

Lecherous snake!

Mm, perhaps not.

Ashi

By Aku's will, you will die in here! There is no hope for you, foolish samurai! Aku is the Master of Masters and will end you! No matter what you have planned for me, I will never buckle, never waver! Your death is certain! Aku desires it! Aku has made a world of wonders and you have soiled it! Aku is the father of all fathers! His greatness cannot be measured! You are a parasite, Samurai, feeding off Aku's generosity! Aku, my master, this fool knows not of your greatness, your kindness, your understanding!

ENOUGH! Every thing, every word, every thought that you know is wrong! Aku - Aku is the one who has laid waste to the beauty of this world! He has destroyed Mother Nature! Where do you think we are?! Aku has summoned these monstrosities into our world and they feed off of his carnage!

Ashi

LIAR!

Believe what you may. But if you open your eyes and let go of the hate, you will see the truth.

Ashi

...Die.

Jack! What are we doing, Jack?

Waiting.

Waiting for what? You know the way out. Let's just go.

No...she's another innocent.

Innocent? Are you mad? She is pure evil.

She has lost her way.

[giggles] You'd know about that, wouldn't you?

I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Well, then, maybe you'll talk to ME.

Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you either! I don't know why you keep bringing this up!

Look, why do you always need to get involved?! She chose her way and now *she* has to suffer the consequences!

You'll never understand that it's all my fault! She is here because of me.

[suddenly smirks] She's gone.

[shocked] What? [Jack runs to the location of where Ashi was and looks up to see the crab monster, taking Ashi along with it]

Okay, so that's that. Now let's get out of here!

No! [he pulls from the ground a clubbing stick]

[groans or sighs] You're gonna save her life again, aren't you?

Yes.

[to Ashi] You're welcome, by the way.

Ashi

I'd be happier as that creature's excrement than ever be grateful to you!

[to Jack] What did you expect? A hug and kiss?

[easily overpowering Ashi] Stop! Enough!

Ashi

[falls to the ground] No, I will never stop!

Yes, yes, I know. 'Till your dying breath.

[Jack is wearing arm and ankle gauntlets and a chest plate that has purple or blue fur on the back of the plate] I like the back fur!

Ashi

You look hideous.

From you, "hideous" is quite acceptable. Thank you.

Ashi

My lord and master, Aku, may it please you for all eternity. The samurai is dead.

Umm, I'm right here.

Ashi! What are you doing?! The Samurai sleeps. Kill him in his slumber before he wakes.

Ashi

No! I have questions, Mother. The Samurai, he saved my life. He...

How dare you! You know he is deceitful. He will do everything in his power to defy the Master! You were always the weak one! Distracted, unfocused! May Aku punish you for your sins!

Ashi

I just want to know the truth.

You have failed us.

What do you want?

Ashi

The truth.

I have already told you the truth.

Ashi

Show me!

No.

Ashi

No?! What do you mean no!? You tell me that everything I know is wrong, but refuse to prove any of it! You're afraid! Afraid that I will see you as a liar!

You are too blinded by Aku's hate. You won't change.

Ashi

What do you know of me? Everything I have endured until this moment!? You know nothing, Samurai. You are just a lowly, soulless pig!

Very well. I will show you. Sit please.

Ashi

Well!? When do we start!?

In the morning. Have patience.

Ashi

Enough! I have seen enough!

Now do you believe?

Ashi

Yes. What can we do?

Nothing.

Ashi

[incredulous] WHAT?! Nothing?! What do you mean by nothing?! We have to do something!

I have fought Aku for ages. I've seen countless innocents die. I have lived this nightmare for what seems like an eternity. There is no way to defeat him. There is no hope...and no way out.

Ashi

Something has to be controlling them. That sound!

Go! Destroy the source!

Are you sure she was the one? Aku's bounty hunter?

We will not let you hurt the Samurai!

Ashi

[surprised] Hurt? I don't... [and then speaks calmly] Look, I'm not trying to hurt him. I'm trying to find him. I think he's in trouble.

You are...his friend?

Ashi

[conflicted with her feelings] I...don't know.

We are his friends! It was long ago that we were slaves. And then Jack came. He risked his life to save ours.

Miss, the bearded fella you inquired about, he got off here.

Ashi

Thank you for sharing your story.

[gasps] You're supposed to get off when you land!

If you're one of Aku's minions, we suggest you run. If you are another, then reveal yourself.

Ashi

I seek the samurai.

Ashi

No, I seek to help him. He might be in danger.

[happily accepts her truth] A friend of Samurai Jack is a friend of ours. Come.

Welcome to our home. None of this would exist if it wasn't for him.

We were cursed, bound to guard a magical portal. The samurai was able to defeat us, but instead of using it to fulfill his quest...he freed us. An act of unmeasurable sacrifice.

Later, we learned the curse was of Aku's doing.

Ashi

Have you seen him? Has he passed through here?

No. Since that day, we have not seen him, but we now stand against Aku. If he is ever in need, we will be there.

Ashi

Thank you. I have to go.

Ashi

Has anyone seen the Samurai?

What do you want with the Samurai?

Ashi

I...I think he might be in danger. He needs my help.

[she takes off her headset or headphones and holds up her hands to form an "S". The Ravers do the same with their hands] Samurai...DROP! [sings] We will never forget you 'till the day we die! Samurai...Samurai. [lights begin to glow around the arena and the Ravers give a light show as Olivia continues her beautiful song] Aku enslaved the Children with his beats from Hell! But then, he came and fought the evil away! It was the Samurai! The Samurai! [everyone starts to do Jack's dance, even Ashi] We will never forget you 'till the day we die! Samurai! The Samurai! Samurai!

Ashi

[bows or nods in respect] Thank you. [she turns to walk away into the spotlight to continue her search for Jack] I will find him. I MUST find him.
