  Episode Quotes  
Kenshin: A sword is a weapon. The art of swordsmanship is learning how to kill. That is the truth. What Miss Kaoru says is sweet and innocent talk that only those whose hands have never been stained with the blood of men can believe. But to tell you the truth, I much prefer Miss Kaoru's sweet and innocent talk over the truth, yes, indeed I do.
 
Kenshin: I have to admit, I’m a bit tired of wandering. Although you’ll never know when I’ll have to hit the road again.
 
  Episode Goofs
