Movie Quote(s): Dororo: At least tell me your name! If you don't I'll call you something weird and shout it out. Hyakkimaru: If you ask, tell me yours first. Dororo: A thief has no name. A name could get you arrested. Any thief with a name is just third-rate. Hyakkimaru: So we're the same. I have no fixed name. Drifter, Hyakkimura, Dororo. Dororo: "Dororo?"... Sounds perfect for a professional thief like me. All right, it's mine! So I'm Dororo, you're Hyakkimura. Dororo: Hey hey hey... This world is about the power of the sword and the coin. If that sword can destroy humans, you could conquer the world with it. If you're the greatest thief in the world, you have to steal the world. Dororo: [Having listened to two peasants tell the story of how and why they came to abandon their child at a temple, which has since burned down, killing many children including their own] So that's how it was... Enough of your crap! I was born in a battleground. My whole village was burned. But still my dad and my mom fought back! Until they collapsed, spent... they never gave up. YOU know the truth about the horrible fate that awaits an abandoned child! A starving kid, collapsed by the road, clinging to his last handful of rice his parents gave him. "If I eat this, I'll forget what my parents look like." Fool! If he doesn't eat it, he'll die, but he just clings to it. Dororo: [Getting angry and pulling out a long blade, ready to lunge at the peasant man and wife] How dare you abandon your... Hyakkimaru: [Grabbing Dororo's arm and restraining her] Stop! Enough! Dororo: [to Hyakkimura] Your own father abandoned you! Hyakkimaru: [Soberly] I had a father who raised me. What more could I ask for? Dororo: [Bitterly addressing the peasant couple] I bet your kid burned with the temple. Dororo: [Picks up their meager rice offering and hurls it at them] Why bother bringing this now?
