The Three Treasures (1959)

Yôko Tsukasa: Princess Oto Tachibana

Quotes 

• Princess Oto Tachibana : I beg you to tell me the truth. Will he come back alive?

  Princess Yamato : It is very possible he won't. Kumaso Takeru is unquestionably powerful. The prince is very young and not yet his match.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : But why... why is his father sending him to such a dangerous place? I just can't understand it.

  Princess Yamato : The emperor is not doing it of his own will.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : So, then the emperor...

  Princess Yamato : He was in love with the prince's mother. But she died after giving birth to the prince.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : So then, the men next to him...

  Princess Yamato : Otomo opposes the prince as successor. He wishes one of his two nephews to be heir.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : The poor prince. I feel sorry for him.

• [Ousu spots Ototachibana praying in the stream] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : Oh, Princess Ototachibana!

  [Ototachibana gasps in fright and tries to flee. Ousu, meaning no harm, pursues her. She hides behind a bush but he finds her] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : It's me, Ousu.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : Don't come any closer!

  Prince Yamato Takeru : Why not?

  [He moves in further to explain] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : I couldn't sleep so I came to the river. Not even darkness makes me forget about you. It's a happy encounter. I'm glad I came. It's all right. I wanted to see you before I left! So please...

  [He turns to leave] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : Be happy for me and pray for me!

• Prince Yamato Takeru : I will go far away from here. To the ends of the Earth, to the Moon, or under the sea! Just anywhere!

  [He doubles over, sobbing] 

  Princess Oto Tachibana : Prince, please don't say such things! Your pain is more painful to me than my death!

  [Yamato Takeru looks over at her] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : Ototachibana.

  Princess Oto Tachibana : Yes?

  Prince Yamato Takeru : Do your eyes tell me the truth?

  [Ototachibana shakes her head] 

  Princess Oto Tachibana : I have disobeyed your aunt by coming after you.

  Prince Yamato Takeru : That doesn't matter! I'll never allow you to leave! Stay with me! You are mine!

  [He hugs her tightly] 

  Prince Yamato Takeru : My wife!
