Shichiroji
- Shichiroji: That bandit said their fort...
- Kyuzo: It's hardly a fort.
- Kikuchiyo: It's full of holes, like Yohei's underwear.
- Kikuchiyo: What are you making?
- Heihachi Hayashida: A flag.
- Kikuchiyo: A flag?
- Heihachi Hayashida: Something to hold up, hoist high, you know? Something to stir our fighting spirit.
- [Heihachi presents his design; he has drawn six circles, one triangle, and at the bottom, the Japanese character "ta." Kikuchiyo points to the "ta"]
- Kikuchiyo: What do those symbols mean?
- Heihachi Hayashida: That means "rice" but it can also mean "farmer".
- Kikuchiyo: What about those circles?
- Heihachi Hayashida: They're us.
- Kikuchiyo: What the hell? Why aren't I there? There's only six of them!
- Heihachi Hayashida: The triangle is you, Sir Kikuchiyo.
- Shichiroji: Good one!
- [the samurai burst out laughing]
- Shichiroji: Manzo, don't be angry. When the dawn threatens our very lives, the weight of it makes us all a little reckless.
