Eureka Seven

"It's this 'urban camouflage'... Don't you think that it kind of makes me stand out?!"

"See, I made a decision when I came to live aboard the Gekko... that even if I had to make an enemy of the whole world, I would be there to help Eureka! Thanks to you, I'm finally confident in my decision, that kindness rests within discipline! Thank you so much, Brother Doggie!"

"That's too strict! You're being too strict, Brother Doggie!"

"No, it's okay. It's better if you don't know right now. Just stay who you are."

"Damn it... Damn it... DAMN IT!!!"

"You are uniquely you."

"You like me, Eureka?"

"I love you, Eureka!"

"The worst of the worst person!"

"Never beg... you earn, by winning, or else you won't get anything... that's right isn't it Holland?"

"I can fly!"

"In other words, that which we call memory, no way exists on its own. Which means it's inexorably connected by environment surrounding it. Do you know who it was who said that, Matthieu?"

"Man, you are really uneducated."

"Like a god of destruction!"

"Hap's doing an emergency disposal of hazardous waste."

"When you think of music or movies, instead of remembering what they are about you’re more likely to be reminded of the memories you have of that time and the people you knew then."

"It's not the first time I've said it. Renton,you really don't believe in the waves, do you? And because you don't believe in them, you can't ride them well. And so it's impossible, impossible for you to do a cut-back-drop-turn."

"Yep, I'm getting out of this place. (Renton - What? Where are you going?) Out to a bigger city to catch more waves. Let's face it, I'm not doing any business here at all. You are my only customer and you only look at the stuff. You don't buy anything."

"I can not believe that you can't even lift one or two refrigerators. What's wrong with you?"

"Oh.. I'm not harassing you Renton, just making fun of you!"

"Is this God’s punishment for falling in love with an angel? As the gossamer floats ever eluding my grasp, it weighs heavily upon my heart."

"Talho: Holland, did you copy that? Holland: I don't want to go. Talho: What? What are you talking about? You're the one who suddenly announced you were going to Bellforest. That's why everyone tagged along. Holland: Yeah, yeah. Fine, fine, I'll go already. (looks out window) Geez, what a Monday."

"Stoner: In other words, that which we call a memory in no way exists on its own, which means it is inexorably connected to the environment surrounding it. Do you know who it was who said that, Matthieu? Matthieu: I have no clue. Stoner: Man, you are really uneducated. I said it."

"Renton: Fourteen years have passed since I was born. It's already been fourteen years. It's been fourteen years since I was born, and nothing exciting has happened to me. But, then again, I don't get the feeling that anything will ever happen. My life just sucks."

"(Eureka gets out of Nirvash and Renton stares at her in silence) Eureka: Hey, this little one hasn't been feeling good. Can you fix him? (Renton smiles and blushes at Eureka) Renton: She's cute!"

"(Eureka leaves; Renton talks to himself) Renton: Sis, this is amazing. She's the ideal girl that doesn't think the things I say are strange. (blushes) Sure she's a little weird, but she's so worried about having trashed my room that she wants to use a flamethrower to burn...burn...BURN?! (explosion; Renton heads up to check on Eureka) Renton: Wha-wha-what exactly do you think you're doing?! Eureka: A funeral. Renton: A funeral?! But nobody here has died. Wait a minute! There is still some things I can use in there - (he tries to put out flames by stomping on them) HOT!! Oh, no, my clies are being sent to heaven! My clies! My clies! (Renton cries; Eureka smiles and laughs at him)."

"Dominic: Why did you fire? Jurgens: What do you mean why did I fire? I don't think we were ordered to protect the TypeZERO, were we? Dominic: As a member of the Intelligence Bureau, I cannot let this pass. Jurgens: Are you saying we should bring even more shame upon ourselves? Dominic: That's not what I... Jurgens: Watch your mouth, information officer Dominic. Up in the sky, orders from airforce officers are given higher priority. Didn't you learn that in cadet school? Dominic: Imbecile. (turns away)"

"Renton: (To himself) I know at that point I should have given the situation more thought. And I should have used my imagination to guess even a little bit of what lay before me. But, Sis, I was just so happy at finding something to live for and so engrossed by the clear eyes of the girl sitting nearby that the mere thought of such things seemed wrong."

"(At Adrock's grave) Axel: (to Renton and Diane) Look at this. It hasn't been 5 years yet we're the only ones who still bother to come all the way here to visit his grave. I don't know if he's a hero or the grand spirit of our society, but they used him as much as they could, and then they simply threw him out. This is where those who follow their dreams end up. I certainly didn't raise your father to make into someone like that. And yet, here he is - long dead and gone. He brought so much misfortune to his parents. It's far better not to dream at all than to work yourself into the grave for the sake of people who won't even help themselves. (Axel turns to leave) Diane: Our dad... Renton: Huh? Diane: When he left our house for the very last time, he said to me, 'Don't beg for things. Do it yourself, or else you won't get anything.' I know what Grandpa says, but I still believe in those words. Someday, you'll understand what Dad meant."

"Holland: Matthieu, pull back! Matthieu: Why should I? Holland: Just get the hell out of there! It's that kid! That little kid was somehow able to deliver the Amita Drive to the Nirvash! It's coming...the Seven Swell!"

"Hooland: (about Renton) He just did a cutback drop-turn! Matthieu: Wicked! He totally nailed it!"

"Eureka: Are you...? Renton: I did it. I actually did it! I was actually able to pull off a full speed cutback drop-turn! It was thanks to you. I was able to do it because of you. You are so amazing! I think that I'm in love with you! Eureka: What? Renton: You see, I did it because of you, and I cant do it without you. I guess that I'm...totally in love with you! (hugs her) Eureka: Love?"

"Axel: (staring off at the Seven Swell effects as the light blankets the area) This light will destroy us all and lead us to our deaths. (slight pause; tears roll down face) But how beautiful it is."

"Digger: Old man! Hey, old man! Renton! (looks at the damaged garage) Oh, no. (starts crying) Poor old guy! Axel: Hey, digger? Sorry to bother you, but can I get a light here? It seems this thing got busted in all the excitement. (holds up broken lighter)"

"Dominic: Any further combat is useless. We should return to base immediately! Jurgens: That's ridiculous! I've just lost two KLF squadrons. I can't possibly return empty-handed! Dominic: But, sir, now that we've confirmed the Seven Swell effect, we can't fight with what we have here. Jurgens: That's enough! In case you've forgotten, you're supposed to be a mere observer aboard this ship. I think information officers should act like information officers! Dominic: (clutches fist) Fine, then. I will exercise my rights as an information officer. Jurgens: Hmm? Dominic: In accordance with article 56 of military law, I hereby take command of the ship's high-speed craft."

"Axel: But, even so, I at least wanted Renton to have the opportunity to live a normal, happy life. Holland: A normal, happy life, huh? Are you saying that boy wants a so-called normal life? Axel: Someday, he'll realize which of us is right. Holland: Then, why did you have him deliver the Amita Drive? Why did you make him go through with the delivery, even though it meant he had to do something dangerous? You don't believe any of what you're saying, do you? No, you've been fooling yourself as to what you really believe. Axel: No! I'm telling you what I really think! (grabs Holland by the shirt collar) What could a vagabond like you possibly know about any of it?! Holland: Then, why did you hold onto it as if your life depended on it?! Axel: Because, you idiot, it was my son who built it! To tell the truth, you're not qualified to have it! The only one that should have it other than myself is Renton! Understand, I have no intention of forgiving you! But, unfortunately, at the moment, you're the only one available that I can trust the damn thing to."

"Renton: (To himself) That's right; the whole time, the only thing that kept going through my mind over and over was 'How can I keep this girl smiling?'"

"Eureka: Hey... (grabs Renton's hand) Let's go together. Because it doesn't work without you. Renton: (in his mind) Admittedly, that was the first time I was ever told something like that by a girl. But my real reason was different, Sis. I really felt that it was my job to protect the Amita Drive in place of Grandpa, and I thought that I wanted to believe in this girl once more. so I grabbed her hand just like she grabbed mine."

"Eureka: (raises hand) Like this. You just raise your hand up towards the sky. Now you try it. Renton: Huh? Eureka: Hurry! Renton: Um, okay. (raises hand) Hey, can you really read the waves just by doing this? Eureka: Stay quiet. Renton: Oh, sorry. (stares at Eureka's lips and blushes)"

"Renton: Grandpa, I'm sorry. Until now, I think I've been running away. Axel: Away from what? Renton: From things that I have to do and things I thought were weighing me down. So, I'm gonna stop running away now. I'm gonna stop. I'm not gonna run anymorw. I'm gonna go get some training. I wanna train so that some day I can become a mechanic just like you, Grandpa. Axel: Good, you've come to your senses. It'll be tough. Renton: I know, but it'll be alright. and that's because I'm your grandson. Axel: (crying) Idiot. It's not nice to make an old man cry. (walks away) Renton: (with tears in eyes) Grandpa."

"(Talho looks at Renton suspiciously; heads towards him and touches his face, then grabs his cheeks) Renton: Ahhh! Why'd you do that? Talho: (walks away) Bye bye. Renton: Geez, what was up with that? Holland: How should I know? I never get what women are thinking. (hands Renton the materials he was carrying) Here you go. This is your tent. Renton: (observes Holland's clothing) Holland, did you just get out of the shower or something? Holland: What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with a guy walking around in his underwear when he's at home, is there?"

"Holland: And so, as it stands, as if right now, we have no money. We'd like you guys to come up with ideas that will get us some quickly and easily. Whoever finds us a good way to make money will win... (everyone eagerly waits for his answer) a hot kiss from Talho. (everyone groans with disappointment) Talho: What?! Wait a minute! What's with that reaction?!"

"Renton: Mischa-san, I'm at my limit... Mischa: Renton? What is it? Trouble? Eureka: Sensei, Renton is writhing back and forth. Mischa: Writhing? Renton: Nee-san...I'm...going... (vomits)"

"Maeter: Hey, Mama? Eureka: What? Maeter: Mama, who is it you like better? Guys who throw up or guys that don't? (Renton accidentally dumps a bucket of water on himself in the background) Linck: Yeah, Mama, cause, someone who doesn't smell like throw up is better than someone that does. Eureka: That's true. Someone who doesn't smell better. (Renton falls face-down on the floor) Renton: Yeah, well, you know, listen about that. See, the reason why I threw up is I'm still not used to riding in the LFO just yet. And besides, your timing for the cutbacks and other maneuvers is kind of different from the timing I use myself, so I can't quite get in sync with the LFO's movements. Maeter: In other words, you just get along with Mama very well. Eureka: Is that so? Renton and I aren't compatible? Renton: No! Wait a minute! Maeter: Of course it is, Mama. If he got along with you, there's no way that he'd throw up right next to you. Eureka: Renton, it looks like we don't get along very well. (Renton falls face-down on floor again) Now hold on! Whether or not we get along had nothing to do with it! In the first place, that was one of the first times I've ever lifted in an LFO! Besides that, every person has their own timing for lifting moves! And it's not that easy to sync up with the rhythm of somebody else's timing! Right, isn't that true? Maurice: Isn't that what getting along is about?"

"Renton: whoever said that first love is both sweet and sour is dead wrong; it's only bitter."

"Talho: (drunk) I cannot believe that you can't even lift one or two refrigerators. What's wrong with you? Renton: Miss Talho...are you having a lot of fun harassing me? Talho: (laughs) Oh, I'm not harassing you, Renton, just making fun of you! Renton: Are you enjoying makin fun of me? Talho: I do not enjoy it at all! But it is amusing!"

"Talho: Come on, scoot over a little more. Renton: This is as far as I can get! Talho: I think you just want to press yourself up against me. You are so perverted. Renton: What? I am not! Talho: Are you saying that I'm not attractive? Renton: Geez, I can't win today!"

"Renton: Now look here! Linck: Oh, hey! It's only you, Renton. Maeter: Look here? Makes you sound like an old guy talking! Maurice: what do you want, Renton? Renton: Don't you 'what do you want?' me! This is all your guys' doing, isn't it? (points to the scribbles on his face as the kids laugh) I try to stay calm, but you keep setting traps and doodling all over me! Maurice: Yeah, and put roaches in your pockets... Linck: Prank phone calls, too! Maeter: It was so funny when we sewed up the zipper on your pants!"

"Renton: Well, umm, exactly...how old is Eureka anyway? Gidget: How old is she? Stoner: Hey, don't ask me. Matthieu: I'd say around 15 or 16, judging from that beautiful figure of hers. Gidget: Oh, Miss Hilda! Matthieu's looking at young girls like a dirty, old pervert! Matthieu: Idiot would you stop that! Talho: You want Eureka as the cover girl for next month's issue? Maybe we'll get some brand new fans. Stoner: Yeah, well, we don't need fans like that. Gidget: Matthieu has a lolita complex! Matthieu: Hey! Do you want me to punch you, Gidget?"

"Stoner: You must be tired from being in the brig for a week. Renton: I thought that you guys had forgotten about me. Stoner: Well, to be perfectly honest, we did forget about you. Renton: (angrily) Thanks! (Stoner laughs) Matthieu: Don't worry about it. That's Stoner's best attempt of humor."
