(5) During the Civil wars
(6) an endless cycle of conflict left the countryside overrun by bandits
(7) Peaceable folk lived in terror of the thunder of approaching hooves
(8) Take this village too
(9) Take it! Take it
(10) Not so fast
(11) we just took their rice last fall
(12) They'll have nothing now
(13) Very well
(14) we'll return when that barley's ripe
(15) Is there no god to protect us
(16) Land tax, forced labor war, drought
(17) and now bandits
(18) The gods want us farmers dead
(19) That's right we're better off dead
(20) what's all this Crying won't change anything
(21) The magistrate can do more than collect taxes
(22) we can ask him for help
(23) we know all about him
(24) He shows up after they're gone acting big while he surveys the damage
(25) That's right. He's useless
(26) we might as well hand over our rice and barley to the bandits
(27) and just hang ourselves
(28) That'll bring the magistrate here in a hurry
(29) we'll kill those bandits
(30) we'll kill them all
(31) Never again Let's kill 'em all
(32) Not me
(33) I couldn't possibly
(34) That's crazy talk
(35) So we can kill defeated samurai but not bandits
(36) Stop it! This is no time to fight amongst ourselves
(37) we don't have a chance against bandits And when we lose
(38) They'll slaughter us all down to the last unborn child
(39) I've had enough Better to risk it all
(40) than to live like this Kill or be killed
(41) Rikichi
(42) The farmer's only choice is to endure
(43) we can't defy the powerful
(44) when the bandits arrive we'll greet them meekly
(45) and quietly hand over all our barley
(46) we'll plead with them to leave just enough for us to survive
(47) That's all we ask we'll beg on our hands and knees
(48) what bandit will agree to that
(49) Have you forgotten how low we had to stoop for the rice we're eating now
(50) we should go see the Old Man
(51) Let him decide what to do
(52) Consider who we're dealing with here
(53) Give a wolf a taste of your leg and he'll ask for your hand
(54) Once they have a taste they'll be back in the fall
(55) But what if we lose Then we're no worse off
(56) without our barley we're doomed anyway
(57) we fight
(58) Old Man, that's madness
(59) we're farmers what do we know of battle
(60) we'll hire samurai
(61) whoever heard of farmers hiring samurai
(62) I saw it with my own eyes
(63) when the village you were born in was torched
(64) I saw it when we escaped to this village here
(65) The only village that didn't burn was the one that hired samurai
(66) But Old Man, there are different kinds of villages and villagers
(67) How are we to feed samurai when we live on rice gruel
(68) we'll make do on millet
(69) Show me a samurai who'll fight for farmers in return for food
(70) They're a proud lot
(71) Look
(72) Find hungry samurai
(73) Even bears come down from the mountains when they're hungry
(74) How dare you
(75) You're nothing but a farmer I'm still a samurai
(76) I don't need your charity
(77) Fool
(78) what'd I tell you
(79) Look, the barley's ripe
(80) Ten days already since we left the village
(81) what do we do
(82) This barley's early not like our mountain barley
(83) Hey, we're soaked through to the bone
(84) Find any cheap, strong and foolhardy samurai
(85) Leftovers
(86) You can have 'em cheap
(87) That's a laugh
(88) what's so funny He's blind
(89) what about you, then Not me
(90) I'd rather eat horseshit
(91) won't get a nose bleed outta him Cleaned him out gambling last night
(92) Pulled his sword when he lost so the three of us beat him up
(93) Not a drop left in his nose now
(94) Don't bother They only eat millet
(95) Is that true You can't live like that
(96) without nourishment you'll go night-blind
(97) I've got just four left
(98) I'll trade 'em all for a cup of rice
(99) what do you say
(100) Damn! what a bunch
