SCRIPT:

Nathan Algren, Emperor Meiji and Omura talking:

Nathan Algren: "This is Katsumoto's sword. He would have wanted you to have it. Let the strength of the Samurai be with you always."

Omura: "Enlightened One, we all weep for Katsumoto but . . ."

Nathan Algren: "He hoped with his last breath that you would remember the ancestors who held this sword and what they died for."

Omura: "Your Highness . . ."

[ The Emperor cannot look away from the sword and the blood. When he speaks, it is in English to everyone's astonishment. ]

Emperor Meiji: "You were with him at the end?"

Nathan Algren: "Hai."

Omura: "Emperor, this man fought against you!"

Nathan Algren: "Your Highness if you believe me to be your enemy, command me and l will gladly take my life."

[ The Emperor is stunned to hear this from a Westerner. Then he makes a decision that will change his life. He stands. ]

Emperor Meiji: "l have dreamed of a unified Japan of a country strong and independent and modern. And now we have railroads and cannon, Western clothing. But we cannot forget who we are or where we come from."
