The Great Lines of Nadesico
 

Episode Five: Ruri-chan's Logbook

Ruri: As I expected, the new pilots who joined the Nadesico are really idiots.

Yurika: You're keen despite being a child.

Ruri: Captain, you're in my way.  Please go back to your seat.

Yurika: We are the children of the sun!

Megumi: I wonder if you'd have to run a wedding.

Ruri: Megumi, you're mean.
Megumi: Am I?
Ruri: Yes, you are.
Megumi: Am I?
Ruri: Yes, you are.
Megumi: Am I?
Ruri: Yes, you are.
Megumi: Am I...mean?

Jun (and later How Mei): Earth looks small, but it's diverse.

Ruri: Minato, the helmsman, is a sleepyhead.

"Association between male and female employees are unrestricted, but to enforce discipline, you can't do anything more than hold hands." -Nadesico/Negral employee contract

Seiya: The young can't be satisfied by holding hands, can they?  (He's elbowed by Ryoko and Hikaru and falls on his knees)  I'm still young.
Jun: You are?

Seiya: Their passion is pure, but it will eventually become impure.

Yurika: I'd rather perform a wedding than a funeral if I have to!

Ruri: I don't want to grow up.  That's how I felt like today.

Announcer: In the climax, the newly-invented Nadesico Super Love-Love Sound System will stimulate your senses, probably.

Izumi: I'll attend your deathbed.

Minato: Thank you, Ruri-ruri.

Yukira: They'll go away in the toilet.

Seiya: Damn, how fortunate he is...

Ruri (to the Genkigander plushie how was going to take Yurika's place): You might be better.

Megumi: I believe I could meet an earnest person, instead of someone irresponsible.

Inez: I wonder if we should welcome you or not.  At least have coffee or something.

Inez: I will explain.
Megumi: But I didn't ask...

Megumi: Do you like to explain things?

Inez: Our fate might have been decided whenb the Tulip arrived at Mars.

Megumi: Yurika, I'm fine as a substitute, but I won't lose.
Yurika: I won't either.  Let's fight the Jovian Lizards together.  We won't lose!
Megumi: Captain, that's not what I'm talking about.

Inez: The good kids of the Nadesico are watching so follow the script.  Smile and face this way, miss.
Ruri (with a mean look in her eyes): Idiot.

Yurika: Please don't blaime Inez-sensei.  It's my fault.

Yurika: I'm, I am...
Ruri and Inez: An idiot.

Inez (squeezing breast as she speaks to Gort): I think this part is different from others.  Don't get me wrong, I mean my heart.

Akito: Who stole my Gai, I mean, my die-cast limited model Genkigander III?!

Akito: It is iced tea, isn't it?
Fukube: The regulations are stiff, but I added a little alchohol.
Akito: That happens outside the military as well.

Ryoko: hikaru..izumi...TENKAWA!!!

Admiral: Are you saying the Tulip can send objects at warp speed?  That's like a TV show called Genki-something.

Admiral: I'm just a selfish man doing it my own way until the end.

Ryoko: A fool is a fool no matter how old he is.
Yurika: But, if so, who should we learn from?

Jun: If you could get away with saying "misunderstanding", it'll be easy to end war.

Akito: Why doesn't that "explaination bug" show up at a time like this?

Nagare: I'm like a pirate who wanders space, holding the flag of freedom.

Nagare: If you like that kind of anime, you should be happy the Nadesico's joining the military.

Nagare: The gravity's pretty close to zero, so be... (sees Akito flying around like a rubber ball already)  Too late.

Nagare: Why don't you strike a pose like in anime?
Akito: Shut up!

Nagare (as he watches Akito avoid the enemy): That's quite an effective and safe way to fight.

Yurika: You're my prince on a white horse who always saves me in a pinch.  This time, I'll...
Megumi: He's only a man in a dream to you, isn't he?  I love Akito.
Yurika: I vaguely knew, but he's an important person to me, too.  I don't know if it's the same feeling as yours, though...

Yurika: Akito, you kissed Meg, didn't you?  Was it...?
Hikaru: I wanna know!
Izumi: I want to know, too.
Minato: Me too.
Ryoko: I'm not interested.
Yurika: Communications have been reastablished...

Jun: It'll be boring if we lost him.

Nagare: That's right, in your buring heart...
Akito: I have something to protect.  That's...Gai!

Ryoko: Well, that's just like him.

Announcer: Check it out with everyone together!!!  You'll see Megumi in a sailor uniform...
