Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai Page #4

---

You know that guy who was here,

with his arm in a sling?

Yeah...I know that guy.

He's name's Louie.

I'm his retainer.

See, once, a long time ago,

he helped me out.

(Man) You motherf***er!

(Louie) What's going on?

What's the problem here?

(Ghost Dog)

'And I owed him for that.

'See, a samurai must ALWAYS

stay loyal to his boss.

'No matter what happens.'

Anyway, me and him, we're

from different ancient tribes.

And now,

we're both almost extinct.

Sometimes...

you gotta stick

with the ancient ways.

The old-school ways.

I know you understand me.

I know you understand me.

(Pearline) Hello?

Anyone home in there?

No, but thank you.

I'm not really hungry.

Ghost Dog,

I brought your book back.

I finished it a few days ago,

but I didn't see you.

What did you think?

I liked

all six different stories.

Ancient Japan

was a pretty weird place.

But I especially

liked the first story.

It's one story, but each person

sees a totally different story.

- That was really good.

- "Yabu No Naka".

That's my favourite, too.

Well, thank you

for returning it,

and thank you for your comments.

- Will you do me a favour?

- What?

Take this book...

and you read it some time.

You don't gotta read it

right away.

OK. Is it good?

Yeah, well... I liked it a lot.

It's not exactly a story,

it's kind of a...

(Louie) Ghost Dog!

(Bells tolling)

You should go home now.

What is this, Louie?

(Ghost Dog) "High Noon"?

This is

the final shoot-out scene?

(Louie) I guess it is.

Yeah...

Well, it's very dramatic.

(Ghost Dog) It's very

dramatic... and I understand.

You have to avenge the death

of your bosses, right?

Well, OK, then.

(Gunshot)

(Gunshot)

Stay back!

Raymond! Stay back.

Now you're gonna be the boss

of your own clan, right, Louie?

'Cause...there ain't

nobody else left...

Ain't that right, Louie?

No, not exactly, Ghost Dog.

Stay there!

It's like you said,

better you than me, right?

(Louie) Nothing makes

any sense any more.

It's OK, Louie.

I've seen everything

I need to see.

Do me one favour, though.

One favour.

What do you want me to do?

You take this book...

and read it some time.

Then, later on...

you can tell me what you think.

Yeah...sure.

(Cooing)

(Gun clicks )

(Cartoons on TV)

Let's go!

Let's get out of here!

This is my book.

No, Miss Vargo, I got it

from the guy, from Ghost Dog!

(Louie) Can we get out of here?

It takes place in ancient Japan.

You should read it.

We can go now.

Pearline,

you're in the way, honey.

Why don't you go in the other

room to read your book, darling?
