:54:03
but then you quibble endlessly
over naming your second.
:54:06
You never intended to commit harakiri.
:54:10
All you really want is money!
:54:12
Counselor!
:54:14
If I were the extortionist you say,
:54:17
would I be calmly sitting here
on this platform?
:54:20
- Then why do you not quietly proceed?
- I am fully prepared to die.
:54:25
But cutting my belly open
does not in itself
:54:28
ensure smooth passage
to the netherworld.
:54:31
I need someone to expeditiously
strike off my head -
:54:35
a swordsman of reliable skill.
:54:40
I do not perform harakiri
to atone for a crime or offense.
:54:44
The least I can expect
is to choose my own second.
:55:11
Further debate on the matter
:55:16
is clearly a waste of time.
:55:38
You are a fraud,
a disgrace to our class.
:55:42
You never intended
to commit harakiri.
