Tonosama - the former Samurai
- [Last lines; Tonosama stumbles indoors, dripping wet, interrupting his housemates' impromptu acapella song and dance number]
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Hey, everybody! Come quick! The actor hung himself, out back by the cliff!
- [the other men stare at him aghast. Osen slowly saunters into the doorway, clearly horrified; Tonosama's not lying. There's a long pause]
- Yoshisaburo the Gambler: It was such a great party, and he had to go and ruin it. Bastard!
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: There you go again. Cut it out. Lay off the stupid dreams. Huh? You're just a two-bit, slam-bam whore. Huh? Stop imagining you're some kind of virgin.
- [Osen lunges at him. Tonosama runs away, giggling]
- Kahei the Pilgrim: Say, my lord, why do you provoke her that way? It's her only pleasure, crying her eyes out that way.
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: [lazily] I'm sick and tired of her tales.
- [He scoffs]
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Makes me sick.
- Yoshisaburo the Gambler: Money buys your fate in hell.
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Money buys you Buddha's mercy.
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Hey, gramps, you're quite the scoundrel, aren't you?
- Kahei the Pilgrim: Never judge a book by its cover.
- Tsugaru: Hey, card up the sleeve! I saw!
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: What the...?
- The Actor: Bad move, rich man.
- Tsugaru: I saw it! You cheated! I quit!
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Lose barely 100 pennies and you shriek like you've lost a fortune.
- [He scoffs]
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: You're one hell of a rich man!
- Tsugaru: You've got to gamble honestly!
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: In the old days, I lived in the lap of luxury. As the shogun's vassal, I was in the inner circle, no matter how poor. From first light to last, I ordered everybody around. In the bath, I never washed or dried. My maid took care of all that.
- Okayo, Osugi's Sister: I imagine all kinds of things too - and keep expecting them to happen.
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: What kind of things?
- Okayo, Osugi's Sister: What kinds? Well, for instance, that maybe tomorrow someone will appear, someone good. Like that. If not, then something will happen, something good. I think about such things, and I'm always waiting.
- Tonosama - the former Samurai: Me, I'm not waiting for anything at all. All the good stuff in my life already happened.
