Sanjuro: I'll get paid for killing, and this town is full of people who deserve to die.
[Sanjuro's talking with three men]
Sanjuro: You're all tough, then?
Gambler: What? Kill me if you can!
Sanjuro: It'll hurt.
Orin: Kill one or a hundred. You only hang once.
Sanjuro: A truce is merely the seed for an even bigger battle, nothing is worse!
[Sanjuro has just killed two men and cut the arm off a third]
Sanjuro: Cooper. Two coffins... No, maybe three.
Sanjuro: Go hang yourself.
Sanjuro: [standing in a street that is littered with corpses] Now we'll have some peace and quiet in this town.
Unosuke, gunfighter: Say, samurai trash, are you there?... The entrance to hell - I'll be waiting there for you!
[Unosoke dies]
Sanjuro: He died as recklessly as he lived
[Sanjuro walks away]
Sanjuro: Now it'll be quiet in this town... So long!
[opening of English-language prints]
Title Card: The time is 1860... the emergence of a middle class has brought an end to power of the Tokugawa Dynasty... A samurai, once a dedicated warrior in the employ of Royalty, now finds himself with no master to serve other than his own will to survive... and no devices other than his wit and sword.
Sanjuro: I know I'm quite a sight, but could you do your staring later?
Sanjuro: I'm not dying yet. I have to kill quite a few men first.
[last lines]
Sanjuro: Old man. See ya around.
Sanjuro: You idiot, I'm not giving up yet. Theres a bunch of guys I have to kill first!
Sanjuro: [in Japanese] You want to hire me as a body guard? Watch. I'll show you my ability.
Sanjuro: [after the gamblers have challenged him] No help for fools.
[draws sword and kills two of them]
Hansuke: What happened? Why so glum? Your business should be booming.
The Cooper: No. When the fighting gets this bad, they don't bother with coffins.
Inokichi, Ushitora's rotund brother: Bitch!
Orin: Yeah, what!
Gonji, tavern keeper: [referring to Sanjuro] You don't look like one of the living!
Sanjuro: [in Japanese] Look at this mess. I knew this would happen. I told you six men are not enough.
Gonji - Tavern Keeper: You'll gain nothing by getting sucked into this evil. Eat quickly and leave.
Sanjuro Kuwabatake: I've had enough rice. Give me some sake. I like it here. I'll stay awhile.
