The Twilight Samurai Page #2
so he did not find fault
Had that been his father, though...
...this would have meant
hara-kiri!
I never dreamed
it would cause so much trouble
I beg your forgiveness
Kayano?
How old are you now?
I am ten years old
Are you working at
your lessons?
I'm learning needlework
and Confucius
A girl has no need
of the classics
All you need is
to write women's script
Too much book learning
and you'll never be a bride
You can go
I am here today
on an important matter
A marriage arrangement
You need a hard-working wife
to escape the misery you are in
A village-headman acquaintance
has an unmarried daughter...
...whom he agrees
to marry to you
He knows you are poor, have two
young daughters and a senile mother
I'm sure you realize that you are
in no position to demand beauty
You need a healthy wife with
big haunches to bear children
Her face is of no concern
So I'll proceed with this
if you don't mind
With all due respect
I must differ
How?
I am not nearly as miserable
in my living as you may think
Of course, offending His Lordship
by appearing unbathed before him...
...was wrong, and I vow
never to repeat it
However...
...watching my daughters
as they grow day by day is...
...how shall I put it?
It's like watching crops ripen
or flowers grow in a field
I enjoy it very much
I'm not sure if the lady
of whom you speak...
...would understand that
Who would understand
such foolishness?!
You've always been like this...
...tormenting your poor father
with this prattling of yours!
What has your marriage
got to do with crops in a field?
Then I beg leave
to speak more clearly
I ask that you not concern yourself
with questions of my marriage
You defy the main branch
of your family?!
You are welcome here
Kinu... are you well?
I am, thank you
May I ask of which household
you come?
I'm your damn brother!
Take her away, Seibei
She's a nuisance
Mother...
Most unseemly! what will
the neighbors think?
Tie her to a post somewhere!
'Expect no more help from me! '...
...shouted my great-uncle
as he left in high dudgeon
Can you do that?
Let me see
Here... twist it
as you fit it in
Is Gran asleep?
Yes
Good
Father...
Gran was crying, you know
Uncle shouted at her
Poor Gran!
Do you like Uncle?
You don't?
I hate him
He came to talk about a new wife
for me, but I said no
I don't want to take
any help from him
You'd think we were
buying a cow!
All she needs is to be healthy
that's rude to the lady as well
Are you two lonely...
...without a mother?
I'm not lonely if you're here
Me, too
That's my girls
Do you want the toilet, Gran?
Look!
Butterbur buds!
Get lots, all right?
