Devotion to Master Defines Samurai Identity
Ghost Dog
If one were to say in a word what the condition of being a samurai is, its basis lies first in seriously devoting one's body and soul to his master. Not to forget one's master is the most fundamental thing for a retainer. (00:15:37)

The Importance of the Present Moment
Ghost Dog
There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. (01:24:29)

The Relationship Between Form and Emptiness
Ghost Dog
Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase, "Form is emptiness." That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, "Emptiness is form." One should not think that these are two separate things. (01:19:32)

Terl
She's, um ... she's, um ...
Chirk
His soon-to-be newly acquired secretary.
Terl
Yes.
Ker
Really?
[''Eagerly'']
Terl
She's stupid enough not to be a menace, good-looking enough to be decorative; she gets drunk with economical speed ... and has other advantages.

The Essence of Timely Decision-Making

Embracing the Spirit of Each Generation
Ghost Dog
It is said that what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.

Seeing the World as a Dream
Ghost Dog
It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream. It is said that the world we live in is not a bit different from this. (00:19:43)

The Samurai Approach to Decision-Making
Ghost Dog
When one has made a decision to kill a person, even if it will be very difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about going at it in a long roundabout way. The Way of the Samurai is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong. (01:13:13)

Determination Beyond Death in Samurai Philosophy
Ghost Dog
Even if a samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should still be able to perform one more action with certainty. If one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die. (01:04:16)

Amin's Admiration for Scottish Bravery
Idi Amin
You are British?
Nicholas Garrigan
Scottish. I am Scottish.
Idi Amin
Scottish? Ha! Ha! Why didn't you say so?... Great soldiers. Very brave. And good people. Completely. Let me tell you, if I could be anything instead of a Ugandan, I would be a Scot.
Nicholas Garrigan
Right... Really?
Idi Amin
He. Except for the red hair, which I'm sure is attractive to your women, but which we Africans, we find is quite disgusting.

Focus on the Target, Ignore the Rest
Ghost Dog
According to what one of the elders said, taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any bird other than the one that it has first marked. (00:46:45)

Conflicting Loyalties Between Friends and Leaders
Idi Amin
You promised to me you would help me build a new Uganda. You swore an oath.
Nicholas Garrigan
The oath is... erm... it's, it's a doctor's oath of confidentiality; we all take it. It's got nothing to do with Uganda.
Idi Amin
Huh? Nothing? Nothing comes from nothing. You have a conscience, I know you do. That is why you came here in the first place. Or are you like all the other British? Just here to fuck and to take away? No? Why else would I trust you with my family? You are like my own son.
Nicholas Garrigan
My name is Nicholas Garrigan, and I'm from Scotland. I need to go home now.
Idi Amin
Your home... is here.

Fear and Strength in Human Nature
Idi Amin
I am ashamed that you saw me like that. I was frightened.
Nicholas Garrigan
I'm a doctor. Everything that passes between us is confidential. Ok? I've taken an oath.
Idi Amin
But a man that shows fear... he is weak, and he is a slave.
Nicholas Garrigan
Well... if you're afraid of dying, shows you have a life worth keeping.

Meditation on Death in Samurai Philosophy
Ghost Dog
The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the way of the samurai. (00:03:05)

Confronting Reality and Consequences
Idi Amin
Look at you. Is there one thing you have done that is good? Did you think this was all a game? I will go to Africa and I will play the white man with the natives. Is that what you thought? We are not a game, Nicholas. We are real. This room here, it is real. I think your death will be the first real thing that has happened to you.

From Poverty to Power: Amin's Journey
Idi Amin
You see. You are a doctor and a philosopher. Yes, I do have a good life now. Please, please. Sit here. I come from a very poor family, I think you should know this. My father left me when I was a child. The British Army; became my home. They took me as a cleaner, in the kitchens, cleaning pots. They used to beat me. "Beat this wall, Amin." "Dig the latreen, Amin." And now, here I am. The President of Uganda. And who put me here, huh? It was the British.

The Importance of Appearance for a Samurai
Ghost Dog
It is good to carry some powdered rouge in one's sleeve. It may happen that when one is sobering up or waking from sleep, a samurai's complexion may be poor. At such a time it is good to take out and apply some powdered rouge. (01:08:50)

Understanding the Way of the Samurai
Ghost Dog
It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything else that is called a Way. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able to hear about all Ways and be more and more in accord with his own. (00:09:42)

Lessons from Embracing Life's Challenges
Ghost Dog
There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. By doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to all things. (01:28:40)

Seeking the Truth About the Past
Zuri
So, your mission did not go as planned.
T'Challa
What happened to my uncle, N'Jobu? My father told me he disappeared. There was a man today wearing a ring identical to this one.
Zuri
It is not possible.
T'Challa
He helped Klaue escape from us and he was wearing this ring. My grandfather's ring! Do not tell me what is impossible, tell me the truth!
Zuri
Some truths... are too much to bear, T'Challa.
[Exhales deeply]
T'Challa:
That is not your choice to make. What happened to him?
Zuri
I promised the king to say nothing.
T'Challa
I AM YOUR KING NOW!
[Irritated]
Zuri
Your uncle took a War Dog assignment in America. Your father placed me there to observe unbeknownst to him. Your uncle fell in love with an American woman, they had a child. The hardship he saw there radicalized your uncle.
N'Jobu
I observed for as long as I could. Their leaders have been assassinated. Communities flooded with drugs and weapons. They are overly policed and incarcerated. All over the planet, our people suffer because they don't have the tools to fight back. With vibranium weapons, they can overthrow all countries, and Wakanda can rule them all, the right way.
Zuri
He knew your father would not support this, so your uncle betrayed us.
T'Challa
No!
[Shocked]
Zuri
He helped Klaue steal the Vibranium.
T'Challa
No.
T'Chaka
You will return home at once where you will face the council and inform them of your crimes.
Zuri
He drew his weapon on me.
Zuri
Your father killed his own brother to save my life.
T'Chaka
Speak nothing of this.
T'Challa
And the child?
Zuri
We left him. We had to maintain the lie.
