The 47 Ronin v1.3 (c#1A72A6.fdr - Whoa is (Not)

121.
Chikara nods.
OISHI
(hugs him again)
We will meet again along the Path.
Do you understand?
INT. SENGAKUJI TEMPLE - HALL
The ronin exit their preparation rooms and enter the hall.
The sight of so many white robes is disconcerting. Ghosts
haunting a hall. As --
MINORU
-- steps out, Mika rushes to him, tears running down her
face.
In front of everyone, defying tradition and prejudice, she
hugs and kisses him. For in this moment, nothing else
matters...save for the words she needs him to hear.
MIKA
You will live in my heart forever.
From the corner of the room, a SOLDIER speaks.
SOLDIER
It is time.
The men line up. Oishi steps from his room with one last
look at his wife and son, takes his place at the head of the
line and begins to leading his men outside.
One by one they pass through the temple portal, but as Minoru
reaches the threshold:
You.
SHOGUN
The line stopped. Minoru steps out of line to stand before
the towering military giant.
The moment is reminiscent of when the Shogun called him out
at the combat challenge in Ako.
The Shogun considers Minoru for a moment. He says nothing.
His stern face inscrutable. Then --
SHOGUN
I remember your father. He served
by my side. He was a great
warrior.
