- Osan: Listen, Mohei. Nothing is more unpredictable than a person's fate. In just one day, all of this has happened to us.
- Blind Musician: Even we professionals can't sing that melody as well as you just did. That was very good. You're really talented.
- Gifuya Dôki: I'm only talented in the ways of the wicked.
- Sukeemon: What's with this seal on the blank sheet?
- Mohei: I need five kan for some urgent business. I want to borrow money with the master's name. I can pay it back within the month. Please turn a blind eye for 20 days.
- Sukeemon: What do you need it for?
- Mohei: Don't ask me that. You and I always accommodate five or six kan from Edo money orders, don't we?
- Sukeemon: I could pretend I didn't see it. But the master's seal on a blank sheet? You can't get away without explaining.
- Mohei: If I could tell you, I would've told you already. Please. Look the other way.
- Sukeemon: Okay. I got it. Write seven kan there. Two kan for my blind eyes.
- Osan: I'm going to talk to my husband and have him forgive you.
- Otama: No. The master isn't going to forgive me.
- Osan: Why not?
- Otama: I didn't want to cause you any worry, Madam. So I kept quiet, but... The fact is... The master wants...
- Osan: What does he want?
- Otama: He wants to buy me clothes. He wants to buy a house for me. He does dirty things. I couldn't take it anymore. I told him a lie. I said I was engaged to Mohei. So he has a grudge against me, and that's why...
- Osan: What are you saying?
- Otama: Now he's put me in a defenseless position. I'm sure he's going to come here again tonight.
- Osan: Come here? Sneak into your bedroom? Really? Does he do such things?
- Otama: Yes. Many times already.
- Osan: How dare he... How dare he accuse others of adultery and illicit affairs. He won't lend a single mon to his own family in distress. But he wants to buy a house for you?
- Osan: Mohei! Mohei! Why do you run from me? Why do you leave me alone? Don't you care about me?
- Mohei: Are you hurt? I'm causing you such hardship. I'm so sorry. Madam Osan. Please go back to the grand scroll master. The master will be happy to welcome you home. Please. Go home, please.
- Osan: Do you think I can live without you? You're not my servant anymore. You're my husband. You're my master.
- Mohei: I'm sorry. I was so wrong. I'm never going to leave you. Never again.
- Ishun: Come here. Come. Come closer. Listen. Go to Katata now. Find their corpses. The deputy, Lord Umegaki, gave me some news. They drowned themselves in Lake Biwa.
- Sukeemon: Double suicide, is it?
- Ishun: I'm going to visit the deputy and ask him to stop the rumor. If you find them, separate Osan's body. We can't have their bodies floating in each other's arms. Got it? Then go. Hurry.
- Osan: It's all my fault. I've brought you here, to die for me. Please forgive me.
- Mohei: Please don't say that. I'm only happy I can die with you. Because these are our last breaths of life, heaven won't punish us. Please listen to my last words so I won't leave this world with regrets. I, Mohei... for a long time... have always been in love with you.
- Osan: What? With me?
- Mohei: Yes. Now please hold on to me tightly. Come on. Madam Osan, what is it? Did I offend you? I'm so sorry.
- Osan: With what you just told me... I can't die now.
- Mohei: What are you saying now?
- Osan: I don't want to die. I want to live. Mohei.
