to the spectacle. He bursts out laughing at what he sees]
Gonji, tavern keeper: What's so funny?
Sanjuro: His men are drinking tea.

Sanjuro: Look here.
[He laughs again at the scene]

Gonji - Tavern Keeper: Only swords can settle things now. They're fuming, rounding up drifters and criminals for their gangs. Instead of buying silk, they're buying thugs.

Unosuke, gunfighter: [in Japanese] By the way, those six men were cut up pretty well. You're the only one around here good enough to have done something like that.
Sanjuro: [in Japanese] And your point?
Unosuke, gunfighter: [in Japanese] I'm thinking that you were the one who killed those six men.
