Ichirô Arishima: Hermit the Old Wizard

Quotes 

• [Queen Izato sneaks into the dungeon and unlocks the key to Osumi's cell. Osumi, shackled, is sound asleep. She looks around before stepping towards the prisoner] 

  Queen Izato : [shaking his arm]  Sir. Sir. Please wake up, sir.

  [She shakes his arm a little harder] 

  Queen Izato : Sir! Wake up, will you?

  [She removes her veil and gently shakes the wooden frame Osumi is encased in] 

  Queen Izato : Hey, wake up, sir. Hey.

  [Osumi doesn't respond and simply continues to snore. Izato caresses the side of the sleeping prisoner's face] 

  Queen Izato : Hey, wake up. Hey.

  [She brushes back his hair with her other hand] 

  Queen Izato : Hey, wake up!

  [She kisses him. Osumi sleeps on, blissfully unaware] 

  Queen Izato : Hey, get up...!

  [She leans in to whisper something into his ear when she hears mocking laughter] 

  Hermit the Old Wizard : You can't fool me.

  [the Queen backs angrily against the cell entrance and reveals herself to be Granny the Old Witch] 

  Granny the Old Witch : Come out, old man!

• Hermit the Old Wizard : [to Granny the Old Witch]  Silence!

• [the witch confronts the wizard after being unable to wake up Osumi] 

  Hermit the Old Wizard : Even if heaven and earth are torn asunder, that man will not wake up until sunrise.

  Granny the Old Witch : [suspecting the wizard put Osumi under a sleeping spell]  Did you do this, old man?

  Hermit the Old Wizard : [laughing]  Sort of.
