High and Low (1963 film)

"Masahiko Shimizu - Shinichi Aoki"

"A man must kill or be killed."

"I'd rather be told the cruel truth than be fed gentle lies."

"Taking the wrong boy was a lucky break. Did you know Mr. Gondo that it's only extortion when you threaten a person or his kin? In other words, this doesn't count. But you have to pay anyway. You're a fool to pay, but pay you must."

"...Besides, it's amusing to make fortunate men taste the same misery as the unfortunate."

"You think I'm shaking out of fear, but I'm not! It's just the physiological reaction from being in solitary too long. Just leaving the cell makes me shake. I'm not afraid of death. I don't care if I go to hell. My life has been hell since the day I was born. [laughs] But if I had to go to heaven, then I'd really start to tremble. [laughs]"

"[to her husband, about their son Jun] He takes after you. He likes violent games."

"Mr. Gondo, I know it's late to be saying this... but you have the right to protect your own livelihood. It's our duty to help you. We want to save the child, but not by sacrificing you."

"For Mr. Gondo's sake, be bloodhounds!"

"Aoki: No human being can kill an innocent child."

"Kawanishi: I know how much this money means to you, but a human life means more."
