The Last Samurai Quotes

Algren:
What else has she told you?
Katsumoto:
That you have nightmares.
Algren:
Every soldier has nightmares.
Katsumoto:
Only one who is ashamed of what he has done.
Algren:
You have no idea what I have done.

Algren:
This is Katsumoto's sword. He would have wanted you to have it. He hoped with his dying breath that you would remember his ancestors who held this sword, and what they died for. May the strength of the Samurai be with you always.

Katsumoto:
The Emperor could not hear my words. His army will come. For nine hundred years, my ancestors have protected our people. Now... I have failed them.
Algren:
So you will take your own life? In shame? Shame for a life of service? Discipline? Compassion?
Katsumoto:
The way of the Samurai is not necessary anymore.
Algren:
Necessary? What could be more necessary?
Katsumoto:
I will die by the sword. My own, or my enemy's.
Algren:
Then let it be your enemy's.

Simon Graham:
I came over with the British trade mission, oh, years ago. I was soon relieved of my position. I had a rather unfortunate tendency to tell the truth in a country where no one ever says what they mean. So now, I very accurately translate other people's lies.

Emperor Meiji:
My ancestors have ruled Japan for 2,000 years. And for all that time we have slept. During my sleep I have dreamed. I dreamed of a unified Japan. Of a country strong and independent and modern... And now we are awake. We have railroads and cannon, Western clothing. But we cannot forget who we are. Or where we come from.

Algren:
[narrating] Spring, 1877. This marks the longest I've stayed in one place since I left the farm at 17. There is so much here I will never understand. I've never been a church going man, and what I've seen on the field of battle has led me to question God's purpose. But there is indeed something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. I do know that it is here that I've known my first untroubled sleep in many years.

[shouting] What the hell am I doing here? ['Bob' rushes up, about to draw his sword and kill Algren, but Katsumoto gestures for him to stop]
Katsumoto:
In spring the snows will melt and the passes will open. Until that time, you are here.
