-Battle has tied together the east and west

-Is that boy from tokyo?
-Eh? ah...seems that way

-What was his name again? ...That guy who played Nemuri Kyoshiro...uh...
-Raizou?

-Raizou?!

-There's no way he's Raizou!!
-Wasn't it Sada keiji?

-No, there's no way it's Sada Keiji!
-But between those two,
-You sure it's not Raizou? He looks like 'im...

(t/n - before i lose everyone here, let me explain - given the elderly couple's age, they're referring to a very old movie, the sleepy eyes of death. raizou is a rounin who has a special skill to kill enemies with his sword by drawing a circle. I am highly amazed i found this on the english wikipedia, but there's not much info. I'm feeling too lazy to look up the other name, most likely it's another actor from the series...or not)
