Father Martin Alvito, Ferreira and others in “Unfinished Business”

Father Martin Alvito

But your black ship must stay where it is. Toranaga has come to understand the great profits being made from our monopoly over the China trade. He has invited us to provide a report on our rates of exchange.

You men of the cloth with your impotent pricks. [Pokes table We... bring the profits. We... dictate terms.

And we are here at their pleasure.

Alvito

Until Toranaga receives this report, you won't get clearance to leave.

[Points at them] I am sitting, on one million ducats that has to get to Macao. [Points behind him] I won't lose this wind. That pilot should have been taken care of, before, he even reached Osaka.

Captain, you forget yourself.

And you forget I don't work for the church, I work for the crown. [Walks away] Let it be known the Black Ship sails tonight.
