Time to mark some territory.

Hank

 * I'm Hank, and I'm the new samurai.
 * I lived in a bad part of town full of bad dogs. Everybody always picked on me. I thought if I could be a samurai, it would change everything.
 * You're under arrest!
 * Hey, this is the training montage, isn't it?
 * I've got to make this samurai thing work.
 * No, you're not.
 * Oh, but you're wrong! I am a real samurai. I got a cup right here that says so!

Jimbo

 * Sounds like you need a mentor.
 * Lesson one, it is not so important what you do, as it is important that you do something. A warrior has cat-like reflexes.
 * Don't forget to land on your… [Hanks lands on his back] …feet!
 * What the mother father cocker spaniel is going on here?!
 * The cuteness is so strong with this one.

Ika Chu

 * Doggamn it!
 * I am your father.
