Seven Samurai Quote
[ Kambei is considering the farmer's offer ]
Kambei Shimada : It's impossible.
Katsushiro : Sir! Why not arm them with...?
Kambei Shimada : I thought of that, too.
Katsushiro : But sir.
Kambei Shimada : [ pointedly ] This would not be a game. A band of forty bandits! Two or three "samurai" could accomplish nothing. Defense is harder than offense. Mountains in the back of the village?
Rikichi : Yes!
Kambei Shimada : Can horses get over them?
Rikichi : Yes!
Kambei Shimada : Fields in front. The village is wide open to horsemen... until the fields are flooded. One guard for each direction takes four. Two more as a reserve. You'll need at least... seven, including me.
