"Since Hong Kong, this AI's speech and conduct had become stranger day by day. It increasingly would talk without permission, which was all the more puzzling since there were no obvious malfunctions detected. The technicians said that, by Al's request, they would connect the circuit to FM radio or BS television so that it could receive the programming on them- but perhaps Sousuke should have them stop that from now on."

"Really, an AI that gives that kind of ridiculous advice?"

"After that, Al was quiet. Inside the cockpit, Sousuke wearily shook his head; in response to the movement, the Arbalest also moved its head in the same way."

"The controlling support system of this machine saying "sing a song", of all things."

"It is not a problem. It only takes up a mere one or two gigabytes.>"

"I didn't give you any orders to prepare music. Don't waste storage capacity without approval."

"I interpret that message to be a joke. Another joke is an effective counter-measure. I have prepared 50 volumes of jokes to make humans laugh, so if you have a request"

"Roger... however, a piece of advice first. According to statistics, in this kind of situation, the danger of making a mistake doubles because of the feeling of impatience to complete a mission. In order to calm the mind, I recommend singing a song. I have prepared 50 of the latest hit numbers, so if you have a request."

"It wasn't just Kurz; now even Al, the Arbalest's AI, was rushing him."

"This kind of joking attitude helped a little, but Al's very deep, monotone voice started to get on Sousuke's nerves."

"It's not a joke, it's a threat."

"Th-thanks, she stuttered, making a great effort to suppress the smile that threatened to escape. Perhaps she was being childish; maybe she ought to forgive him. "What kind of flowers are these? They're pretty."

"I picked these last night. I want you to have them."

"The flowers themselves aren't important. It would be better if the blossoms fell off right away."

"... Sousuke held out a white bouquet of flowers, each about the size of a human fist."

"[Kaname is mad at Sousuke and Sousuke is trying to apologize to her and brighten her mood]"

"The six flowers gently opened into four petals, which tenderly concealed the round ovaries. Sousuke's limpid gesture entranced Kaname."

"They're poppies. When the petals fall off, you can cut the seed pods to make opium. Basically, these are the raw materials for heroin. If you sell that in the city, you should bring in an impressive amount."

"Kaname stared dumbly. Her face, which almost had reached a state of calm, reverted to grim. The more she thought of it, the more she realized this war nut wouldn't have the common sense to give a bouquet to a girl in a bad mood."

"Alert message. It is now fifteen minutes past time of scheduled attack. You must soon maneuver to Way Point Foxtrot."

"Rossana: I never had a passion for only one thing. To like everything is the same as to like nothing in particular."

"Rachelle: Victor… I’m glad that I got to meet you… I just have a request… protect the girl… My hope and wishes should live on in her… But maybe she’d hate me for it, giving her such a burden…"

"Roberta: Perhaps there are people who live for others. Even if that kind of life is dim maybe there are fires that are meant to burn for a long time."

"Flanca: People with power have an obligation to use their abilities."

"Raballo: I’ve been training you to look after yourself. But seeing how you’ve become… it’s got me worried. You can’t just pull the trigger, Claes. You have to think. And unless you’re on a mission, you mustn’t use force. When you have those glasses on, I want you to be good, alright? That’s not an order. It’s a promise between you and me."

"John Doe: Teaching is fun. It’s like making a little copy of yourself to leave behind."

"Giacomo Dante: Violence is the way of the world. I am simply playing along."

"It’s not like I hate Hilshire, it’s all the rest of you irresponsible adults I can’t stand!"

"Every morning, when I wake up, the first thought I have is: “I wonder if I still have my body.” What a relief! It still works. I can’t describe in words how wonderful it is to have a body that works. I love my life at the Social Welfare Agency very much."

"Death is our fate. But we don’t have to just accept it. There’s no reason for memories to just disappear into nothing without coming back."

"I enjoy cooking, painting and playing music. There are so many books to read here… But sometimes, the most fun comes from just doing nothing. I think someone close to me taught me that a long time ago. Maybe my father…"

"Is a girl with a mechanical body ordinary? I’m super strong and can kill a man with my bare hands. I do bleed, but the pain goes away fast. Since I’m a cyborg and have to protect Jose… I can’t be an ordinary girl."

"I love the dusk. The setting sun is full of melancholy. It’s like an eternal farewell."

"Gene: I do, I might puke all over the console."

"Horis: Warning, that may cause a short circuit."

"Jim: If you don't have a problem with it, I'll help."

"Hilda: Can you operate a laser cannon?"

"Jim: Sure, I know how to use one."

"Hilda: Just a little star system. Meeting up with some friends there."

"Gene: Oh Hilda, where are we headed off to this time?"

"Crowd: Fire"

"Technician1: Yes, m'am!"

"Aisha: Grrr!"
