NISHIKIYAMA: I can’t let them do it, Kiryu... I’m your sworn brother! I’m NOT watching you die like that! 

NISHIKIYAMA: At this point, I’m through as a yakuza, too… And Kazama-san with us! But at least… at least I can keep you from dying in pain. I can end it for you, I can make it quick. That’s all I CAN do...

KIRYU: I’m sorry, brother. It’s my fault you’re being put through this.

KIRYU: Brother, I’ve got one request. After you plug me… Bring my head back to them. Use it to fight your way to the top of the clan.

KIRYU: Promise me.

NISHIKIYAMA: What the hell…

NISHIKIYAMA: Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me, Kiryu, please!

KIRYU: Man the fuck up and do it! You can’t get to the top by crying!

[Nishikiyama shoots the gun- at the ground, missing Kiryu by an inch.]

[...]

NISHIKIYAMA: Can’t do it… How could I shoot you?!

NISHIKIYAMA: Without you, I’ll always be nothing. Can’t make it as a yakuza… no. I wouldn’t even still be alive now if I didn’t have you beside me! I’m just… 

NISHIKIYAMA: If you’re not with me, I’m useless! Nothing means anything!

KIRYU: Me, too… we’re the same. That means we’re still just kids.
