"nobody else saw you." "are you rich?" "tell me!" "I saw you." "you were counting your coins." "don't talk nonsense!" "I really don't know what you're talking about." "however, on the river the police were looking for the famous thief Rokuémon how did you cross the river?" "what a treat!" "this is the best moment there's nothing better than cold saké!" "give me some more" " you've had enough." " don't worry." "I warned your master." "saké helps you to live." "your master doesn't drink?" "he does, but only bad wine." "you don't say he looks so serious it's his weakness when he drinks he becomes another man." "and nothing can stop him." "I must drink in secret as a true believer in saké." "I'm true to saké!" "you speak well!" "the masseur expects you." "there's no need it'll do you good" "I must write my journal" "I'm feeling great!" "thanks" "Okiyo..." "I won't bite you." "tell me if I smell of alkohol." "you stink" "Genta !" "that's enough let me see" " you stink." " one more?" "a real sewer rat!" "this is a sewer." "a sewer?" "I've been washing myself in a sewer?" "I've betrayed my saké!" "don't think about it!" "Our master's mother Madame Sakawa did instruct us." "have you forgotten?" "our master has to make a most important journey to Edo." "and she has asked us to keep him from drinking you might have thought of it!" "she loves her son very much since the beginning of the journey our master has stayed sober although he loves drink in all the inns we passed he never talked about saké and you, you hide yourself to drink" "I'm ashamed." "I beg your pardon that's better. don't do it again once in Edo, we'll have a party no, I'm through with saké because of this stink" "Otané." "lie down. tomorrow we'll have to get up early" "father, the village feast will start soon" "what does he look like, this Rokuémon ?" "according to the police, his whole back is covered by a huge tatoo" "a tatoo?" "it seems it represents the wind god dancing on his back beating the drums" "master, check this please" "Genta, what if we went to the feast?" "I'll go with you where is Gonpachi ?" " in the bath." " I see." "his foot still hurts." "let's leave him alone" "excuse me. this is the police good evening it's you, Denji !" "you share your room?" "yes, with a certain Tozaburo." "where is he?" "he went out." "but everything's alright here." "very well" " let me know in case." " Understood." "you can come out. they left" "you were right evidently." "I never tell a lie." "I am a police officer." "I investigate the roads." "listen, Tozaburo... this is your name alright?" "are you afraid of the police?" "but you told me to hide you are always afraid even in the street" "I'm afraid of people people?" "obviously, with all that money" "I already told you yes, I heard you you worked in a mine yes, it's money earned in an honorable way. believe me so you have no reason to mistrust" "I have, because of my money here we are" " don't be a fool!" " Explain yourself." "with all that money people will take me for a thief and the police will make me leak show me this money" "you have nothing to fear from me let's have a drink and talk it over talk what over?" "you're doing it on purpose to get to know me better" "I see... you don't trust me" "I don't care" " sir?" " call the inspector." "he left bring us something to drink and food" "Okin, come here and play something." "it's me!" "I frightened you?" "not at all stuffing oneself with kakis, that's bad" "I've been longing for it for ages what money did you buy them with?" "Mr. Lancer gave me some money." "he's quite nice." "do you know where he is staying?" "sure!" "then you'll give him this." "what shall I tell him?" "nothing" "Genta, are you thirsty?" "not at all." "I tell you, not at all!" "Liar!" "what were you doing at the inn?" "you saw me?" "I won't do it again!" "you can forget your inhibitions with me." "Master!" "you mustn't!" "let's go back to the hostel!" "this place isn't worthy of you bring us two jugs" "if they learn that we had been drinking together" "Madame your mother and Gonpachi will kill me." "have pity, let's leave" "Genta, sit down." "don't be shy" "Me?" "I refuse to drink!" "drinking with my master!" "Me, I won't drink." "it's for you" "I don't want you to drink in secret because of me that's why I invited you this is very kind of you now sit down and drink" "are you testing me?" "don't talk nonsense!" "well, drink!" "just a drop." "I've a feeling this is a trap." "did you plot with Gonpachi?" "don't talk rubbish what's this thing you have with Gonpachi?" "he gave me a dressing-down" "I won't tell him anything drink." "I'll take some fresh air please, stay with me ok pour me two drops you'll drink by yourself afterwards" "thank you" "Mr. Lancer, sir!" "you again, little one?" "what do you want?" "I have been given this for you" "Oh, the ointment!" "who gave it to you?" "the lady we met yesterday she asked me to give it to you how nice of her!" "don't stand there. come in you want to tell me something?" "don't sit down there ouch this is the master's bed. country brat!" "sit down properly" "I want to leave don't look funny" "I'll teach you manners first, you should have thanked me for what I did just now understood?" " where are you sleeping?" " outside, where else but I gave you money" " I ate it up." " you ate it up?" "bought eggs, goulash you can't be serious!" "there are many food-sellers at the feast." "and I met the lady at the feast?" "you're coming with me?" "then you'll meet the lady too." "you must thank me" "I see. you're smart for your age!" "ok. let's go?" "do the "Servant's Dance"." "I am the servant!" "Hé, servant!" "where are you going with this step?" "I'm going to look for my master." "I must face the cold to find him." "I must find him, come what may, even if I have to face wind or snow." "hard is the servant's life!" "it's not an easy life." "very true!" "Genta, pour another one." "hurry up" "I've had enough. let me go, master what are you talking about?" "serve me, I'm telling you!" "nothing left if there's nothing left, have them bring some more" " bring some more saké !" " no don't bother!" "Genta!" "you disobey your master?" "this is intolerable stop, master if you go on drinking they'll kill me" "Genta... you were talking about being true to saké at the inn, what exactly does it mean?" "drinking secretly without the master knowing, what exactly does it mean?" "I want an explanation!" ""My master has bad wine."" ""when he drinks he becomes another man."" "so you heard everything" "Genta !" "we are in the same boat so let's make up, you and me let's drink a jug of untrue saké" "Untrue saké?" "what on earth is that?" "yes, untrue saké!" "peddlers!" "you've been laughing at me for a while." "why?" "we're not, Sire!" "we're not laughing!" "I saw you laughing what made you laugh?" "Sire, I assure you I didn't laugh." "you dare lie to me?" "look at me." "you're right. you're not laughing so you agree. if fact, I'm not laughing" "however, your nose, it's convulsed with laughter" "I don't like this nose it laughs all by itself it laughs" "I'll change that nose come here" "no, master!" "stay there" "where are you?" "master!" "it's your fault, stupid!" "idiot!" "he's dead drunk" "I'm ashamed of you!" "wash this for me." "Master..." "Pardon me." "I should have looked for you." "it's my fault it's my fault" "I've let myself be distracted by a woman without any worth" "Sire!" "thank you" "Jiro, you can go to sleep." "but you're before me." "you're sleeping here?" "I see in this case" "hold this." "shall I give you a hand?" "could you help me?" "yes, a worthless woman will help you." "what shall we do with him?" "kick him in the arse." "it's over there" "Sire!" "Mr. Lancer!" "Hé, masseur!" "did you come across a certain Tozaburo?" "he has a beard what did he do?" "answer me." "Ah, pardon, you are blind." "it's a thief" "a thief!" "little one, nothing broken?" "Gonpachi, I'm alright?" "you ointment, please." "ah yes!" "give it to him." "breathe." "it hurts!" "we'll soon be there. pull yourself together what an idea to climb a tree my stomach hurts stomach?" "that's strange you fall off a tree and your stomach hurts you shouldn't have given him money he stuffed himself with kakis." "that's what made him sick living in the trees, the idea!" "I don't agree monkeys live in trees you're right. monkeys live in trees clothes too" "everybody is against me" "I'm getting the colic!" "what?" " pull yourself together." " I can't!" "he's really a nuisance" "Master, wait for us" " I can't hold it any longer." " I see." "wipe yourself with it." "over there!" "what's going on in front?" "they're having a tea ceremony." "really?" "a tea ceremony in the open?" " what's that?" " a ceremony in the open." "oh really?" "so that's why we're stuck but what's going on?" "no idea there surely must be something, since we're blocked" "it looks like we'll be kept waiting for a long time he's a great Lord, surely" " it'll take some time." " Surely." "what sophistication!" "you appreciate?" "it is a unique spectacle!" "it seems to take a long time" "tell me peddler, what's going on?" "an outside tea ceremony" "my nose does not laugh funny guy" "Genta, look." "hold on, Jiro." "we have a sick child can we pass?" "wait, I'll ask help yourself" "I thank you" "no passing." "what rotten luck!" " I can't hold it!" " patience." "another colic." " do you have some paper?" " I have." "the sky looks threatening and we're still blocked!" "sophistication takes precedence the tea bowl one brings to Edo is still more sophisticated that's true" "there is a strange cloud at the Fuji's summit" "bizarre." "keep your temper it's a rare phenomenon called "the Fuji umbrella"." "isn't it?" "Yes Sire it's due to steam rising from the foot of mount Fuji the wind carries it up to the summit thus taking the form of an umbrella" " isn't it so?" " yes sire." " good day!" " you have a room?" "how is the sick child?" "he's got out of it it was indigestion." "I was right" "we must squeeze ourselvers between three customers excuse us" "Gonpachi, look after the child tonight." "dinner is ready here are your plates" "Otané..." "I'd like to drink a little saké." "Miss, bring a jug." "Kumakichi may say that the family is sacred he refused to help us." "on cannot count on one's own family one had to arrive at that to understand reality." "I'm an unworthy father." "I've done nothing for you." "your saké." "Otané... would you pour for me?" "take good care of yourself." "I swear... that I'll come and fetch you." "Father, don't talk like that." "I know very well that I'll never see the village again." "I want to tell you... when I left home, I said terrible things to mother." "let's not talk about it." "tell her I am sorry don't mention it" "you know..." "I wanted to leave with a smile but I was violent with her" "Father, you're leaving already?" "I mustn't be late." "otherwise, I won't have my 30 gold pieces." "give me your comb." "I'll arrange your hair." "is there really no other solution?" "for 30 pieces... it's disgusting!" "BUYING AND SELLING WEAPONS" "is everything alright?" "since last night, a thief is in the vicinity be on your guard" "I beg your pardon a thief?" "where is the master?" "the spear!" "Mr. pilgrim!" " you're leaving already?" " I'm an early riser." "it seems a thief roams in the vicinity since last night so it seems the world is an unsafe place you're telling me!" "impossible to sleep undisturbed" "it's the thief!" "don't panic, let's go!" "the thief, it's him!" "you must have been dreaming even if he's tatooed?" " are you sure?" " it's Rokuémon." " he's tatooed." " what?" "show me your arm" "it's the thief!" "if you come closer" "I'll kill you" "don't come closer!" "Master, enter please" "scum!" "that's the thief." "it's Rokuémon!" "really?" "give me your mask!" "you squeezed it!" ""you've arrested Rokuémon risking your life." ""Accept this award as a token for your courage." ""The grateful justice." "Onishi Gengobei, commissary." ""to samouraï Sakawa Kojuro."" "this exploit will shine on all of your clan take it." "I did nothing it was my servant carrying my spear who... the servant acts for his master it's an individual act." " it was he who..." " without his master, he is nothing." "this is the police's attitude at least let's recognise these people's bravery take your award one moment please" " this is the award?" " it is." "did you hear?" "the award, it's this piece of paper" "they take me for a fool but not at all your ancestral spear has gained in reputation not really, Gonpachi." "this spear is a fake." " what are you saying?" " impossible!" "but it is!" "in fact," "I wanted to sell it to help the old man's daughter but it's not worth a penny." "this relic of my ancestors' arms bequeathed to us by Ieyasu at Sekigahara, it's trash!" "I don't believe it the merchant must have lied what does it matter, Gonpachi!" "finally, this fake spear has brought us nothing but a fake reward." "good day. come in please" "are you Yomosaku's daughter?" "rather pretty where is your father?" "we couldn't get here yesterday because of the rain he went out he did?" "we must have crossed him" "is Mr. Kyube in?" "he went out" "I don't know you" "Try to remember." "I entrusted my daughter to you 5 years ago." "I'm Tozaburo." "really?" "Tozaburo?" "how is my little Oshina?" "I've brought the money." "I'll take her back." "Oshina?" "but you're too late!" "too late?" "what do you mean?" "Oshina..." "My contract with Mr. Kyube was clear on that point!" "I can buy my daughter back." "for this I've slaved day and night in a mine." "here are the 30 pieces plus interest it's that Oshina... she died two years ago what?" "she died?" "Oshina is dead!" "this is too cruel!" "here you are, the money." "well let's go are you ready?" "Father farewell take care of yourself" "farewell, father." "farewell" "I thank you all" "wait!" "stop!" "Kyube !" "you remember me?" "Oshina's father, Tozaburo !" "why, Tozaburo !" "you're a monster!" "you killed my daughter!" "if Oshina died it was not of my doing she was ill you're telling me now?" "don't worry." "I'll take you home." "give me that girl's contract!" "take the 30 pieces!" "give me her contract!" "give it to me!" "who do you think you are?" "one moment!" "Kyube." "still in this dirty business?" "you never change!" "let go of him!" "I should never have doubted you." "I beg your pardon!" "your goodness is an example to all of us excuse me" "Kyube." "hand me the contract at once!" "in the name of the law!" "go on!" "Tozaburo, is that it?" "thank you!" "scum!" "you have nothing more to fear let's go back together. my village is close to yours a great many thanks to you. you've saved us thank you sire!" "don't mention it when I look at you" "I feel that my daughter is alive and I tell myself that I didn't slave for nothing." "let's stop crying and get ready" "make way for the great Lord!" "Master.... are we leaving?" "I'll range these things" "thank you very much!" "you're leaving?" "let's say farewell to each other why?" "Me, I'm going in the direction of Izu." "really?" "our ways seperate yes that's so!" "where is Jiro?" "he's playing with Okin on the beach." "I see" "your things, master." "Mr. Samouraï." "I can never thank you enough may God protect you" "Thank you everything ends well" "yes, thanks to you" "I'm beside myself with joy we are so happy for you thanks to Otané, I'll be able to overcome my grief" "I hope we'll see each other one day" "destiny is strange" "I wish you a lot of luck good-bye" "Genta." "I envy those people" "I like their simplicity they have the true spirit of fraternity" "where are you going?" "Master!" "where are you going?" "Master!" "good day. come in" "Master. we must take the road" "bring us saké." "stop it, no saké !" "be silent you'll drink in Edo." "be patient." "I want to drink don't say anything" "get up but get up" "it's just that... sit opposite of me" "Genta." "you are Genta." "you are not Kojuro." "it's very simple. you are you, and I am I yes that's fair" "Kojuro is Kojuro. he is not Genta." "as you say" "Genta... listen" "Kojuro is Kojuro, Genta is Genta." "agreed?" "you are not you master's shadow where are you going?" " to Edo." " all alone?" "No, with Mr. lancer !" " Jiro, you have a daddy?" " No." " and a mummy ?" " Neither." " what about you?" " I've a mummy !" "we, the samouraï... do we deserve our high station?" "Me, I envy the people we just saw their hearts are pure and their acts sincere for fake exploit a fake award." "what can one do?" "if you are your master's shadow then I am my master's also." "it's logical." "but in this case, whose shadow is my Daimyo?" "it's insane!" "toast with us excuse me" "whatever next!" "a servant sitting at his master's table..." "it's inaceptable!" "a samouraï unworthy of his rank." "why unworthy?" "what does it matter if he's a servant!" "we're just drinking together, that's all" " I'm embarassed by your inanity." " what?" "it is I who is right every samouraï must keep his rank." "you are dishonoring us how dare you!" "come over." "come take position!" "stop it" "I beg of you" "I beg of you stop it" "I beg you for the love of heaven!" "stop it stop it" "where is the lancer on the beach this is horrible!" "Lancer!" "your master is in danger!" "several men against him!" "make way!" "scum!" "I'll let you have it, worm!" "come here!" "come!" "well?" "get going, coward!" "My Master!" "My Master and Genta." "under the circumstances" "Gonpachi, who has shown great bravery avenging his master will benefit from our leniency." "the police pleads in his favour with the Daimyo Matsudaïra." "Our Daimyo's answer is after all logical:" ""Noone in our realm is fool enough" ""to let himself be slain by a servant."" "consequently, for the murder of five samourai," "Gonpachi won't receive any punishment." "he's a good Daimyo." "let him pass" "Sire!" "take me with you!" "you mustn't follow me any more" "I want to become a lancer!" " Lancer?" " please, take me with you!" "Idiot!" "you should never become a lancer!" "be off!" "he's mean!" "he left" "THE END"
