"When going on an adventure it's hard to stay calm. As men, even if we know the adventure will be full of pain and sorrow, we still choose to go on it. Real adventures are like the ones depicted in games or comic books, they're neither easy nor quick and they can break a man's heart. Real adventures can torment people. They can make you regret ever going on them. But still, that's the true meaning of an adventure. If that's so, then why do we as men choose to go on them? Why is that? Because we want to be real men. Real men don't give up, even in front of pain or sorrow or regret! Rather, they want to live a full life. That's what real men are! With that being said, go on my son! Go to your adventure!!"

"But sir, I love her."

"This breath seethes in the joy of life. I will not allow arrogant scientific technology to intrude in this holy ground."

"Please spare her! Not her. Not her."

"Don't make me get rough with you."

"(to Paprika) Shut your mouth!"

"The dreams are horrified... that their safe refuge is destroyed by technology."

"A fragrant fat is a first class lunch! (eats Atsuko) It needs a little more spice. Maybe a little paprika?"

"Well-rounded achievement is missing a spice. Paprika found!"

"The one I've been waiting for since historic times! Your flute's melody is a sound for sore neurons!"

"In a world of inhumane reality, it is the only humane sanctuary left. That is a dream. That parade is full of refugees who were unwillingly chased out of reality. I am protecting them. I am the guardian of dreams. My duty is to mete out justice to terrorists like you, Paprika."

"An overweight spirit needs no diet! Go forward, superhero, to anywhere you please!"

"(as the parade seeps into his dream) Paprika, is the inside of my head this messed up?"

"You're the feisty country girl I saved some time ago. How are you? If he was not home when i passed by around 7:30, then he probably disappeared into the instant noodle soup."

"It's too bad it was stolen, but all we have to do is make another one."

"Even the five court ladies danced in sync to the frog's flutes and drums. The whirlwind of recycled paper was a sight to see. It was like computer graphics. That I don't support Technicolor parfaits and snobby petit bourgeois is common knowledge in Oceania! Now is the time to return home to the blue sky! The confetti will dance around the shrine gates. The mailbox and the refrigerator will lead the way! Anyone who cares about expiration dates will not get in the way of the glory train! They need to fully realize the lives of the triangle rulers! Now, this festival was decided by the third grade class with the telephoto camera! Move forward! Come together! I am the ultimate governor!"

"(to Osanai, as the Sphinx) Oedipus is the perfect look for a man completely controlled by The Chairman!"

"Discipline calls for a search of the DC Mini rather than Paprika's bikini. This is true happiness."

"It was a rush job, but I put an access function to it. Morals, responsibilities... I don't really get that adults' stuff. But let's talk it over again. We're friends, right?"

"Man: Yeah! Everything is just one big dream! Men:No more anger. Our world is happy and mundane. Women: As long as dreams will grow, let's get a little bud and grow a money tree, too! Schoolgirls: We wanna make sure it preserves the memory forever! Phone men: If there's no flower, there'll never be fruit! Parading people: If there's nothing, then there's nothing to do. TV men: You can live in your own TV! Politician: If you're unhappy, let the politicians know! Poke an eyeball and pop in a vote! Short man #1: I am the emperor, chosen by the one! Short man #2: Yeah, but who's one? My one? Your one? Which one? Short men: We didn't choose you! We didn't choose you! Parade: No more anger. Our world is happy and mundane."

"(first line of the film) It's the greatest show time!"

"(to Detective Konakawa) Don't you think dreams and the internet are similar?"

"Weather Lady: Today's weather has finally lifted, and all the weather ahead is sunny and dreamy!"

"The ecstasy that blooms in synapses is Paprika-brand milk fat! 5% is the norm. The safety net of the ocean is nonlinear, even with what crabs dream of! Lets go!"

"(as a gigantic whale) That's right, keep running. There are no boundaries to dreams. The spirit will be freed from the constraints of the body... and gain limitless freedom. Including me! I will also be free!"

"(to Tokita) You guys really are alike. You and Himuro. You get preoccupied with what you want to do and ignore what you have to do. Don't you understand that your irresponsibility cost lives? Of course not. Nothing can get through all that fat. And now what? "Isn't it wonderful"? "A mind for science"? Don't make me laugh. How can a mad scientist know what a human mind is? If you want to be the king of geeks with your bloated ego, then just keep up all this and indulge in your freakish masturbation!"

"Doctor Yasushi Tsumura: The high pressure holds the grab bag and looks a lot like milk. I think of apples! Doctor Nobue Kakimoto: The dense forest turns into a shopping center. The 24-bit eggplant must be analyzed."

"(as a gigantic whale) That's right, my little fish. Just keep swimming away. There are no boundaries in dreams. No restrictions from one's own physical body. You have entered a new world where the spirit is free, and that freedom is limitless! Even for someone like me!"

"The midday sun can eliminate the dark of night. It can happen either way. Night dreams of day, and light dreams of darkness, and the sun is a giant, ignorant mass of gas. It releases a huge amount of hot energy to track down the darkness and set ablaze every shadow... eventually burning up all of itself."

"In a world of inhumane reality, there is actually only one humane sanctuary left, Doctor, and that can be found in the comfort of a simple dream. That parade you saw is full of refugees who were unwillingly chased out of reality. I am merely protecting them, for I am the only true guardian of all dreams. My duty is to mete out justice to terrorists like you, Paprika."

"The residents of darkness rest in the shade of the trees where the night flowers bloom around the clock here... where daylight sun-scorched people aren't allowed!"

"Now come on. Don't force me to get rough with you, Paprika."

"This is a place where life and all its joys are revered. Dreams belong to the dream world, not cold machinery that sucks the life from them. I will not allow arrogant scientific technology to intrude onto this holy ground."

"Don't you see his brain is numbed out? It's taking him to a far-off island."

"Dreams are destroyed by technological tampering. Someone needs to be accountable. Science goes too far whenever gets one so."

"You're the one I've been waiting for! Your flute sure is a sound for sore neurons!"

"A fragrant fat makes a really delicious first-class meal! (eats Atsuko) It's a bit bland. Needs a little spice. Perhaps a pinch of paprika?"

"An overweight spirit needs no special diet! Go forward, superhero, don't stop!"
