Does this character say anything similar to what he was saying "I don't want to work."

<p>In the first episode of <em>Danna ga Nani wo Itteru ka Wakaranai Ken</em>, there is a scene of the husband proclaiming his hate towards working. His face changed to that of some character with a scar on his left cheek. His speech pattern also changed to that of a samurai:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Hataraki takunai degozaru! Zettai ni hataraki takunai degozaru!</p>
</blockquote>

<p>What is the reference in this scene?</p>
