Emperor Meiji: Omura, you have done quite enough.
Omura: Everything I have done, I have done for my country.
Emperor Meiji: Then you will not mind when I seize your family's assets and present them as my gift to the people.
Omura:
[furious] You disgrace me!
Emperor Meiji: If your shame is too unbearable, I offer you
this sword!
[Emperor Meiji holds up Katsumoto's sword. Unwilling to commit seppuku, Omura backs down].
Now i'd bet that there isn't one of us here, regardless of their political leanings who can't think of at least one politician they'd like to see this happen to.
