""Did you practice being this stupid?" - Boyd (To Rolf)"
"Ike: Oh! All right, then..."
"Gatrie: Hey, Shinon. I'm just waiting for my girlfriend."
"Shinon: No, Gatrie. It's not wolves."
"Ike: Hey, if you don't let go of my hand, I can't pay you for anything."
"Aimee: Of course. I'll even give you everything you want for free."
"Ranulf: Why are you so confident? I don't get it. Normal beorc just do what people tell them and try not to make a fuss. But not you! I heard you even yelled at the apostle!"
"Shinon: Why are you standing out here like a scarecrow?"
"Shinon: ...You've got to be kidding me."
"Gatrie: B-because... Um... Wolves?"
""Ah! Don't cry! I hate it when girls cry!" - Tormod (To Micaiah)"
"Aimee: Oh... It's like a dream come true. My hero, standing right in front of me. Somebody pinch me."
"Aimee: Oh, such cold words... My hero plays hard to get! You're only making me more interested."
"Ike: ...And then you'll let go of my hand?"
"Ranulf: Not really. I'm just being a mother cat... No matter how many times we tell you to take it easy, you're always working. I thought you might take a break if I came over and talked to you. But... I can see that you're still crazy. I'll go now."
"Ike: Well, that's just my style. I don't have to be like someone else, do I?"
"Ike: Wha--? Ha ha! You're a cat, remember!? I thought you ate fish! Ha ha ha!"
"Ranulf: Tea is good. And eat something. Oh, and maybe you should take a... catnap! Wha ha ha ha!"
"Shinon: Aren't you rushing it a little?"
"Gatrie: Yep! Every last gold piece! And guess what? The treatment cost exactly as much as I had! It's fate, isn't it Oh, with a coincidence like this, I know that we're meant for each other!"
"Gatrie: Whaaat!? No, I don't believe it! She's such a fine girl! So pure and kind! She'd never hornswoggle ol' Gatrie!"
"Shinon: Then why isn't she here?"
""Of course... General Ike... again." - Micaiah (Later chapter, to Tormod after mentioning Ike)"
""...This is ridiculous. I'm amazed that someone was desperate enough to make that fool a general." - Soren (To Ranulf, about Skrimir)"
""Whoa! You're thanking me? Better get ahold of yourself, Sothe. You're gonna make ME get all weepy." - Tormod (To Sothe)"
""Ridiculous... As if you didn't already have that annoying bird... Ouch! Ow! Ow ow ow! I take it back!" - Sothe (To Micaiah about Nailah sending Volug to protect her)"
"Aimee: No! My darling... Let us not spoil our time together with talk of money! Speak sweetly to me, handsome."
"Ike: Listen, lady. This is a shop, and I'm a customer. What's so sweet about that?"
"Ike: Will you let go of my hand? Please?"
"Aimee: Then tell me I'm beautiful! Tell me I'm more beautiful than any woman in this camp!"
"Ranulf: Oh, sorry. I'm interrupting you. I'll see you la--"
"Ike: Wait. What do you want? I assume you came out here to tell me something."
"Ike: You think I'm crazy? How so?"
"Ranulf: Well...a little crazy, yeah! I've never worked for a leader who's as blunt and straightforward as you. It's pretty shocking to have a commander who doesn't care what anyone thinks, no matter how powerful they are."
"Ike: Yeah, that wasn't my brightest moment."
"Ranulf: Then again, worrying about a beorc like this is definitely not normal laguz behavior. I guess I'm a fish out of water myself... Wait, did I just call myself a fish?"
"Ranulf: Hey! I made you laugh! That's good. That's a good first step."
"Ike: Fine, fine! I'll take a break. Um... so what do I do now? Am I supposed to drink tea or something?"
"Shinon: Oh. Her. Right. You're still dating?"
"Gatrie: Yep! And when I gave her gift that you picked out for me... boy, was she happy! In fact, I'll tell you a secret... we're getting married!"
"Gatrie: Oh, no! You see, she's terminally ill. She has Brain Stones. It's really bad. She only had a few days left to live. And since she didn't have enough money to pay for the treatment...I thought it was time to spend my gold!"
"Shinon: You paid for it?"
"Gatrie: Between the war and her illness, times are pretty rough, so we decided to have the wedding right away. I was supposed to meet her here and then introduce her to the company. I wanted to do it in style, you know? But she's not here yet... Oh, wait is that... No, that's a horse. Hmm... I'm a little worried. I went to her house this morning, but I think I got the address wrong. All I found was an abandoned shack. But it'll be all right! She knows I'm with this army, and... And..."
"Shinon: Gatrie? She's not coming. You've been conned."
"Shinon: How can someone with only days left to live manage to walk the streets looking for a knight with lots of money?"
"Gatrie: Because... Because she needed to meet me! It's fate! Remember?"
""Curse you Soren!" - Titania (To Soren)"
""Right. Lord Ike, "hero" of the Crimean Liberation, leader of the Greil Mercenaries, and father of Sothe's children..." - Micaiah (After Sothe praises Ike)"
""My...What a stupid speech" - Soren (about Skrimir)"
"???: No, Ike! Don't say another word!"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
