Ming-Na Wen: Madame Kaji

Quotes 

• [Madame Kaji enters] 

  Mizu : I said, "No, thank you," to company.

  Madame Kaji : The gentleman asked for me.

  [sits and bows] 

  Mizu : Madame Kaji?

  Madame Kaji : I understand not one of my girls caught the gentleman's interest. If it is boys he is after, he need only ask. Many famous samurai prefer the stamen to the pistil.

  Mizu : Madame Kaji's tea house is known for catering to peculiarities.

  Madame Kaji : Nothing desired is peculiar. Any woman can study woodcuts and master the twelve and twenty positions. I offer what the rare heart hungers.

  [Both Madame Kaji and Mizu look at a man laughing due to his foot being tickled] 

  Mizu : Strong men come here to be weak, uncentered. They make themselves fools.

  Madame Kaji : I hope the gentleman isn't one of those monkish samurai who cares only about the sword. Isn't it said, "To master the way of battle, one must become acquainted with every art?"

  Mizu : Sex? An art?

  Madame Kaji : Hmm. The gentleman was wise to seek me.

  [Madame Kaji stands up] 

  Madame Kaji : Come.
