Quotes3

  • Dusty: American saw cuts on a push stroke, Japanese saw cuts on a pull stroke. When an American cracks up, he opens up the window and shoots up a bunch of strangers. When a Japanese cracks up, he closes the window and kills himself. Everything is in reverse.
  • Dusty: This Giri...
  • Tanaka Ken: Giri? Hai.
  • Dusty: It means obligation, right?
  • Tanaka Ken: Burden.
  • Dusty: Burden?
  • Tanaka Ken: It's called, 'the burden hardest to bear.'
  • Dusty: Yeah, well, suppose you don't bear it. I mean, no one's going to come down on you?
  • Tanaka Ken: No.
  • Dusty: Well, you guys believe in some kind of Heaven and Hell?
  • Tanaka Ken: No.
  • Dusty: Then what is it you believe in that makes you do it?
  • Tanaka Ken: Giri.
  • Dusty: That guy doesn't like you.
  • Harry Kilmer: No, not much.
  • Dusty: So how come you figure you can trust him?
  • Harry Kilmer: Giri.
  • Dusty: Gitty?
  • Harry Kilmer: Giri. Obligation.
  • Dusty: You mean he figures he owes you something?
  • Harry Kilmer: Yeah, sort of.
  • Dusty: Well, that can work two ways, Kilmer. If you ain't alive tomorrow, he don't owe you shit.
