Quotes 

• Nagase : You are a soldier, Lomax. You never surrendered.

  Eric : I'm still at war.

• Nagase : That's what I saw. So many murdered. So I will speak. I make pilgrimages. I work for... reconciliation. I will not let them forget the tragedy of war.

  Eric : The what?

  Nagase : The tragedy of war.

  Eric : No, this wasn't a tragedy. This was a crime. You're not tragic. You're a criminal. You were an intelligent, educated man, and you did nothing.

  Nagase : I tried to make amends.

  Eric : You're living off this.

  [indicating the war museum] 

  Eric : You're a criminal and a liar.

• Eric : What do you tell people about what you did to us?

  Nagase : We do not talk about it. No one will talk about it.

  Eric : Nor do we. And you know why? Because no one would believe it. No one would believe what you did to us. You treated us like animals because we surrendered.
