LORD ASANO<br />
You know I cannot. You taught me<br />
too well, old friend. I broke the<br />
law and must pay the price.<br />
OISHI<br />
You drew out of defense of your<br />
daughter! You were deliberately<br />
tricked --<br />
LORD ASANO<br />
I knew the law.<br />
(beat)<br />
Over the generations, people may<br />
come to question the honor of Lord<br />
Kira, but never the integrity of<br />
the Asano name.<br />
<strong>The</strong> door opens and one of the Shogun’s COURTIERS enters.<br />
COURTIER<br />
<strong>The</strong> Shogun awaits.<br />
Asano nods and r<strong>is</strong>es.<br />
LORD ASANO<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi... I would be honored if you<br />
would act as my second.<br />
OISHI<br />
Don’t ask me to do that. I cannot--<br />
LORD ASANO<br />
I trust no one else.<br />
(then quietly, pleading)<br />
Don’t make me do th<strong>is</strong> alone, O<strong>is</strong>hi.<br />
I may appear calm, but fear<br />
threatens to unman me. Without you<br />
there, I don’t know if I can..if I<br />
will be able to--<br />
As emotion begins to edge into h<strong>is</strong> voice, O<strong>is</strong>hi calms him.<br />
OISHI<br />
You will not be alone. Never<br />
alone. I will stand for you.<br />
Always.<br />
And slowly, the fear melts away from Asano and a flinty<br />
resolve returns to h<strong>is</strong> eyes.<br />
LORD ASANO<br />
(taking O<strong>is</strong>hi’s hand)<br />
Thank you...old friend.
