Leon: Well if it isn't little Shu... How many years has it been since I gave your ears a good pinning back....
Shu: I forget. To me, it's ancient history.
Leon: You little brat..... But anyway, you forgot the rule #1 in 'the book': Don't put yourself in danger...
Shu: I had to throw away 'the book'. You read it too many times.....
Leon: What's that supposed to mean...
It's a poor translation. Shu sounds like he's just calling Leon a hidebound old fart who can't improvise outside of established effective strategies. It's the opposite: Shu is admitting that Leon is straight-up better than he is, and Shu has to resort to unorthodox methods to even have a chance.
Shu: Well, sometimes even a futile gesture can be worth something... That's what my friend, Apple, taught me.
Leon: I'm not impressed....... Listen to me, punk. History doesn't flow! It moves... in leaps and fits! Sometimes it has to be pushed along by men like us. If a bit of suffering is the price we must pay, then pay it I will!!!
Shu: Are you saying that's why you helped destroy the Scarlet Moon Empire, and why you're helping Highland now?
Leon: This country needs the firm hand of the Highland Kingdom to guide it through the Sea of History. Just like you!!!! You disgust me! You had talent, but you used it wastefully. To me, you're the very definition of garbage!!!
Shu: Unlike you, I don't think I'm some kind of god to use people like pawns!!!!
But before Shu can finish that with the appropriate "...anymore!", his self-baited deathtrap interrupts the conversation with a collapsing tree.
