I know an 17th generation senior male descendant of a Nobunaga lieutenant. He has been a pediatric oncologist in the American South for 20 years, even though he wasnt supposed to leave Japan. So I guess he stood up his Samurai family, but ~always~ shows up for his little leukemia patients.

Robert Di Nero in the movie Heat. He is looking warily at a night vision police video camera. His eyes are glowing.

Instead of enlisting the DaVinci Code guy or James Bond to capture the Louvre jewel thieves, they need Al Pacino's Lieutenant Hanna from Heat. The Louvre guys had a simple and practical plan that included smashing up some shit instead of quantum cyclotron spanner wrenches.

Pacino laughing about how he is getting played by DiNero's criminal character.

DiNero is taking photos from the top of an industrial tower of Pacino's police squad. The squad thought they were spying on the robbers.

But, then I happen to know that there's a little Lebowski on the way. I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself down through the generations. Westward the wagons, across the sands of time until we - ah, look at me. I'm ramblin' again.

The Duke of York has usually been the 2nd son of either the monarch or the Prince of Wales (e.g. Andrew; King George V & VI; a younger brother & a 2nd son of George III; James II; Charles II & Henry VIII whose older brothers died) Maybe Harry will become Duke of York, if he can duke remotely from CA

…for all Comanche to see & so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life… or death. It shall be life.

Chief Ten Bears of the Tamparika Comanche, sits for a photograph some time before 1872. He is wearing a round medal around his neck and glasses.

TEN BEARS: These things you say we will have, we already have.
JOSEY WALES: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
10: There is iron in your words of death…

Will Sampson as Ten Bears in Outlaw Josey Wales. His face is painted blue and he looks ready to kill or make peace.

KLAUS: The only proper answer. You would be wise to maintain that position. Indeed, you have no idea who we are, and if we were to reappear to you at some later time, you would have no way of knowing that we were, in fact, us.
RYDELL: Then why should I listen to you?

Screencap from the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales. The title character is speaking with Ten Bears, a Commanche chief. The following is the conversation they are having:

Ten Bears : These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey Wales : That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears : It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
