[the Japanese ambassador gives Kuroda a knife with a knotted rope attached]
Japanese Ambassador:
Each of these knots represents a day. I have given him seven days to recover the Mikado's sword. In seven days, I will pass here again... the same train.
Link Stuart:
Suppose he doesn't make it in seven days?
Japanese Ambassador:
For the disgrace of failure, he will rip his abdomen... ,kill himself. So will I. We call it hari-kari.
Link Stuart:
Well, that's something I'd like to see. Then, he might as well do it now, because I'm not taking him.
[Kuroda draws knife and holds it to Link's throat]
Japanese Ambassador:
Then he will cut your head off.
Link Stuart:
That's something I wouldn't like to see.
