OISHI (CONT'D)<br />
You weren’t thinking. You must<br />
suppress your pride. <strong>The</strong>re will be<br />
a time to fight. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> not it.<br />
Humiliated, Chikara looks up at h<strong>is</strong> father.<br />
CHIKARA<br />
Do you w<strong>is</strong>h me to go home?<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi considers...then shakes h<strong>is</strong> head.<br />
OISHI<br />
No. We are only <strong>47</strong>. We cannot<br />
afford to lose a single blade...<br />
Chikara bows h<strong>is</strong> head in shame as O<strong>is</strong>hi r<strong>is</strong>es and strides<br />
off.<br />
CUT TO:<br />
EXT. RURAL ROAD - LATER<br />
Minoru walks beside Chikara, who <strong>is</strong> drowning in a sea of selfdoubt.<br />
CHIKARA<br />
I am so...ashamed.<br />
Minoru looks him in the eye. Man to man.<br />
MINORU<br />
<strong>The</strong>n redeem yourself.<br />
CHIKARA<br />
But, I’m cursed. No matter how<br />
hard I try to suppress it, my left<br />
hand <strong>is</strong> dominant. If not for my<br />
father intervening back there...<br />
Chikara doesn’t fin<strong>is</strong>h the thought. It’s too terrible.<br />
MINORU<br />
You mustn’t dwell on what’s past.<br />
CHIKARA<br />
That’s easy for you to say. My<br />
father respects you.<br />
MINORU<br />
Perhaps...but the rest of the world<br />
does not. And never will.<br />
(beat)<br />
My whole life I have known that I<br />
can never be a samurai...but that<br />
hasn’t prevented me from living as<br />
though I could.
