Q on Kill Bill

[teako170]

Popped this disc in tonight. Hadn't seen in a while.

During the Sushi Shop sequence...
Sonny Chiba and Kenji Ohba get into this routine about fish/ tea .. 30 years .. I'd be a General, etc.

Is this something QT wrote or is this referencing some past film?
The dialogue seems VERY familiar but I've never been able to put my finger on it.

Anyone...?

If memory serves me correctly it seems that Q wrote it. But, I think the interview stated that he based it on either their natural verabe together or past scenes that they had done together. I dont have the magazine article in front of me at this time but that is what I remember reading about the script. But, this was many years ago.

They shared a KAGE NO GUNDAN episode together. One of QT's fave shows. Maybe it's a reference to that?
