Nick Lowell: I want you to allow me to kill him. Give this warrior a weapon and let him show us how strong and brave he really is.
[to Orochi]
Nick Lowell: What do you have to fear?
[in Japanese]
Nick Lowell: Brother?
Orochi: You walk into my home, you take my brother, you poison my father's mind. Poison him against me. Someone has to put out the fire.
[takes Nick's sword]
Orochi: You think you are a Yakuza with this? You aren't a Yakuza. You are a gaijin. Outsider. You are just the way my brother found you.
[yells]
Orochi: Get up! No, I won't fight you.

Anthony Panetti: Look, I'm sure you got respect for these people because they wear silk pajamas and they bow like you're the fucking sun god when they pour the coffee. Frankly, I don't give a shit about their rules or their traditions or whatever the fuck it is that you're here to try to explain to me. We won! What's the point of winning a war if now you gotta worry about stepping on Japs' toes?
Nick Lowell: I wouldn't call them Japs.
Anthony Panetti: [scoffs] Okay. So you're one of those?
Nick Lowell: One of what?
Anthony Panetti: I got a deal with the United States Army. Your fucking country gives me metal at two cents a cubic yard. Do you know where they get this metal from? Any idea? They get it from breaking down war machines that these fucking Nips built to sneak attack us! So excuse me if they gotta buy it back from me cheap. Now, I don't know if you're banging some slanty-eyed broad and you're getting all gooked-out and sympathetic, but that's the way it is.
Nick Lowell: That's the way it is?
Anthony Panetti: That's the way it is. And now, you can get the fuck out of my office.
