Buntaro quotes from Shōgun

Buntaro

Bad enough my wife must live under a roof with the Anjin. But now, I am to do the same.

Buntaro

Before we die, I beg permission to take the barbarian's head.

John Blackthorne

What's been said about the assassin?

Toda Mariko

Only that she belonged to a very dangerous sect.

John

Hmm.

Mariko

She had served as a palace maid for years. Some train their whole lives for a single kill. It is very costly.

John

A price few could afford. You refuse... to see it. What those priests are capable of, even now. [Doctor pricks his arm] Christ! How much are the Jesuits priests are paying this one to kill me?

He's too tense. He doesn't need a doctor, he needs a woman.

John

Oh, my God, dear, what did he say? What did the warlock say?

Mariko

Since, you are so upset, the doctor suggests we send a... woman to pillow with you instead.

John

Pillow?

Mariko

Uh, it is polite for... the physical joining of man and woman.

John Blackthorne

[Groans] If he's not a warlock, he's most certainly a pimp.

Mariko

Would you prefer a male companion?

John Blackthorne

Dear God, where am I? [A general enters] Who's he?

Is the animal behaving himself?

Mariko

Yes, Buntaro.

Buntaro

We're leaving Osaka immediately. The barbarian is to join us.

Mariko

Where are we going?

Buntaro

Back to Ajiro, with members of Toranaga's clan.

Mariko

I don't understand.

Buntaro

It's not for you to understand. [Walks away]
