The Human Condition I: No Greater Love (I) (1959)

Kôji Nanbara: Kô

Quotes 

• Kaji : [furious over the recent escape of Chinese POWs under his supervision]  I've given up on all of you. You said you'd wait. You might think I'm a fool, but even a fool has his limits! Another escape and you'll all go without food for three days. I'll turn your men against you and break your authority in this camp!

  Kô : You Japanese are all the same!

  Kaji : Fine! Then I'll act accordingly. All promises are hereby retracted. Now I realize there can be no trust between us.

• Kaji : The investigation is over, but I don't believe you tried to escape.

  Kô : You're turning us over to the Kenpeitai?

  Kaji : I don't intend to. But you never had faith in me before. Perhaps it's best to doubt me now as well. Those men have all the power! I have none! I'll do everything I can until tomorrow evening.

• Kô : I don't like propositions that start... with the word 'if.'

• Kô : Inhuman wretch! This is your true form! The face of a man... but the heart of a beast!
