Guard Captain, Nebara Jozen and others in “Unfinished Business”

[a special party is leaving Osaka Castle with Lord Ishido's clearance but a detail commander stops the group just before they reach the outer wall]

GGuard Captain

I need to verify all members of the party.

NJNebara Jozen

Lord Ishido cleared us to depart.

GGuard Captain

It is Lord Ishido's order. All travelers are to be verified.

[To Mariko] No one's going to stop him? [Guard captain peers into royal sedan, John announces to himself] No one's going to stop him. [Walks up to Guard Captain] This is unacceptable! Peering into ladies private quarters?! It's not proper!

GGuard Captain

What is the barbarian saying?

Worse than that! It's vulgar! Unholy perversion!

[Walks up, in Japanese] I think the barbarian is offended. In his country it is improper to... leer at women.

GGuard Captain

This is Japan! [Shoves John aside]

Am I the only man present who treasure the purity of a women?! [gets knocked down from the Guard Captain's backhanded slap]

[Gasps, to Guard Captain in Japanese] You must excuse him! He is ignorant of our customs!

Low! A women's virtue is her glory! A blight on us all! My God, the shame of it!

His customs are very different! And I find it's very hard to reach him...

[blocks Guard Captain from opening door of royal sedan] You, sir, are a silly little man! And your hair looks like the tail of a pony!

What is this buffoonery?! Lord Ishido has ordered us all to the harbor. Let them through! [Envoy departs]

[To Toda] Well, I hope you didn't mind the part about the pony.
