Vasco Rodrigues quotes from Shōgun

There's a saying out here that every man has three hearts. One in his mouth, for the world to know... another in his chest, just for his friends... and a secret heart buried deep where no one can find it. That is a heart a man must keep hidden if he wants to survive. You'll understand soon, Inglés. And who knows, maybe-maybe fate brought you here for a reason. Maybe you'll live long enough to find out what it is.

John Blackthorne

This isn't the end for me. I won't die in this wretched land.

This wretched land? I'll tell you what, Inglés. We're coming into port soon. Why don't you go on up there? Go up and tell me what you see. And tell me, when you set eyes on Osaka, if you really think our world is the hilt of civilization. And then ask yourself, "What kind of man wields power in a land like this? " The one who schemes in the open... or the one you never see?"

Ahoy, Inglés! [Chuckles] Still alive I see!

John Blackthorne

How's your leg?

Fine. How's your mother?

John

Dead!

Aww...
