Shigeru Kôyama: Geki Takahashi

Quotes 

• Geki Takahashi : Unworthy?

  Isaburo Sasahara : Yes. We cannot accept our lord's favored lady.

  Geki Takahashi : There's no need to be so reserved. It's happened before, not just in the Aizu clan, but in every clan.

  Isaburo Sasahara : I'm well aware of that, but even so, I wish to decline the honor.

  Geki Takahashi : Decline? Sasahara, that will not be allowed. It is our lord's personal wish. You'd...

  Isaburo Sasahara : I mean no disrespect. We are not worthy of such an honor.

  Geki Takahashi : You know our lord's wish. It's an order!

  Isaburo Sasahara : I would never disobey him, but if I may decline...

  Geki Takahashi : What? To decline is to defy the order!

  Isaburo Sasahara : No, I'd never do that. It's just that we're unworthy of the honor.

  Geki Takahashi : Sasahara. You refuse to agree to it?

  Isaburo Sasahara : It's not about agreeing or disagreeing. We are unworthy of the honor.

  Geki Takahashi : What? You continue saying that?

• Geki Takahashi : Lady Ichi, will you sever your ties with them and save their lives? Or will you let them die as traitors? What will your answer be? Lady Ichi, does your silence mean you will do as I say? Am I correct?

• Geki Takahashi : If she appeals to save you as the heir's mother, not as Yogoro's wife, he promised to change his orders from seppuku to confinement.

  Isaburo Sasahara : I don't understand what this is all about.

  Yogoro Sasahara : Neither do I.

  Isaburo Sasahara : Steward, it seems we don't understand what you just told us.

  Geki Takahashi : It's very simple. If you two admit that Ichi is no longer a family member and that she has been returned, our lord will listen to her plea for a lighter punishment. Will you acknowledge her return and live, or refuse and fight it out? Which will it be?

  Isaburo Sasahara : In that case, we ask for no mercy. We are prepared for the worst.

  Geki Takahashi : Then there is no alternative?

  Isaburo Sasahara : None. It's all of you who cannot be pardoned, who are holding Yogoro's wife as prisoner and still insist on doing so. Please return her at once!

  Geki Takahashi : All right. You've made yourselves very clear. I'll ask Lady Ichi now. Lady Ichi, will you save the lives of these men? Or will you let their pursuers come and kill them? Lady Ichi, the Sasaharas are men. Their pride will not let them back down. But your position is different. You have already returned to serve our lord. If you tell them that you sever your ties with them once and for all, then all will be well! Is that clear? If you do, their lives will be saved. We need not ask them to return you. And even though they petition for your return, it can be disregarded as long as you sever your ties with them.

• Geki Takahashi : Don't move. If you do, unexpected accidents may occur.
