The Great Lines of Nadesico

Episode Nine: Miracle Operation: Kiss?

Ruri: It's not a big deal, but what's the point of sending us more wacky people, Negral?

Erina: If you don't come, the Captain'll be disappointed.

Munetake: You don't want to be a puppet, is that right?

Izumi: It doesn't look good.
Hikaru: Is this the time those childhood friends to break up?
Izumi: But the relationship between him and his new girlfriend hasn't developed much.
Hikaru and Izumi (to the blushing Ryoko): Your chance, your chance.
Munetake: Cut those love-love stories out, okay?

Nagare (to Akito): You look bored.  Why don't you go out with me?

Megumi: I was right to set it a little adult.

Erina: Because you're irresponsible like that, he walked out on you.

Akito: No Megumi.  Because we're only high school students!

Seiya: Ruri-ruri's protecting the captain, isn't she?
Hikaru: Did she forget her phrase, "Too many idiots?"
Ruri: Idiots.

Hikaru: Where did the Captain go?
Nagare: She's probably off crying by herself.

Yurika: You don't like a stupid and slow "turtle" like me, do you?

Yurika: You're not my shelter.  Kiss me when you love me.

Nagare: It's fustration to lose the spotlight to you.

Megumi: That's...
Yurika: Akito.
Ruri: He'll come back.

Seiya: He must be loitering around, but he'll come back.

Hikaru: Ryoko...
Izumi: ...don't be depressed, okay?
Ryoko: Idiot.  Don't make women cry, Akito.

Munetake: If I'd said the military wanted you to recover a guinea pig with very expensive experimental devices, no one would have agreed to risk their lives to do so.

Ruri: Two fools, who are strict about the rules, had joined us.  However, those three were in a love-love mood, so thier hearts must be so bold.

How Mei: I feel sorry for Tenkawa.

Jun: A late night meal cooked with love!  You cooked a meal for me?!
Yurika: Good night, Jun.

Yurika: Megumi, what did you put in it?
Megumi: Dokudami, pepper, shiitake, burdock, rhizome, turtle and viper blood, cow liver, then I added commercially available drinks...

Inez: What did he eat?  Take him to sick bay immediately!  Dispose of that pan!  Is this some new attack by the Jovians?
How Mei: Well, it's the poison of love, so to speak.

Minato: Ruri-ruri, you're so pale, so use this to protect you from the sun.

Ruri: This is the first time I've gone to the beach.  I'm a little excited.

Seiya: Come over here!  The three necessities for bathing on the beach are powdery curry, bad tasting ramen, and half-melted chipped ice!  I'm carrying on the tradition even today.  I'm the last, personally trained vendor on the beach!

Jun: Tastes bad...
Seiya: Of course.

Hikaru: If it was only about them, you wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Inez: Adding numb pills to each dish served at parties, or attempting to kidnap a manga artist so that she could be a heroine.  Well, she's the only stain on the Crimson Family.

Akito: Well, she's... she's... Aquamarine to me!

Aqua: I'm so happy.  We're going to face our final moment together.

Aqua: A couple, dying together in battle.  So wonderful.
Akito: Aqua... what are you talking about?

Aqua: A beautifully dying couple in love, and at that moment, I'll become a tragic heroine!

Aqua: Akito, I won't let you go.  We'll die here together.

Ryoko: Akito, what do you think you're doing?

Aqua: Akito, come back!  Become a tragic hero with me!

Akito: I'm a tragic hero!
Seiya: Liar.
Nagare: One'sfortune is another's misfortune.  Others' misfortune look good.
Jun: I'm jealous.

Muntake: What's with this girl?

Ruri: Are they strong-willed, or just dumb-witted?

Megumi: We won't have to risk the Aestivalis.
Minato: Don't beat around the bush, Meg.  You mean Akito, right?

Minato: Would you mind restraining yourself?

Ines: A "headache" wouldn't be the only thing the pilots might suffer from.

Megumi: You might have noticed, but when you come back safely, I feel like our relationship will grow suddenly...

Yurika: You might call me an idiot, but when you come back safely...
Akito: "Our relationship will grow suddenly", right?
Yurika: I'm so glad.  You feel the same way, don't you?

Ryoko: Tenkawa!
Akito: It was my fault!  I was dishonest!  Please forgive me!
Ryoko: What are you talking about?

Ryoko: Good luck Tenkawa.  The girls are counting on you.

Seiya: Damn, I envy you, Tenkawa Akito!
Seiya's Crew: Damn, I envy you, Tenkawa Akito!
Ruri: Too many idiots.  They're all idiots.

Megumi: Seiya said if we were these...
Minato: ...the bridge would look like a command post.
Jun: So, he brought out his collection.

Seiya: Do I look cool?

Jun: Honestly speaking, you don't want to do this, do you?
Ruri: I'm old enough.

Nagare: They're going to have the joy of youth?

Ryoko: Geez, I get frustrated when I look at you.

Nagare: This looks like a youth drama, but it doesn't seem healthy in my opinion.  I'd be better not to be influenced by him, Ryoko.

Nagare: Anime fans tend to use platonic love as an excuse for being poor in love.  It doesn't suit a girl like her.

Nagare: Come to think of it, you're being chased by the Captain and Megumi, aren't you?

Nagare: I don't like anime stuff.

Prospector: It's an effective use of local resources.  Their fighting is economical.  We should learn from them.

Izumi: Kiss the eye and boom.

Ryoko: Guys hold on tight!
Izumi: What are you going to do?
Ryoko: Crash into it.
Izumi and Hikaru: We knew it.  Even if we try to stop, you won't because of your personality.

Hikaru: I've got a new idea for my fanzine!
Izumi: A relationship among men turns into...

The full Preview (sort of)
Announcer: What?  Participate in a popularity vote?  Minato with an adult charm... no, Hikaru with glasses..., no the Captain's breasts..., but, is "Too Many Idiots" the best, after all?  Alright, I cast my vote for Hoshino Ruri.  So next time on Mobile Battleship Nadesico, part 2 of the Hoshino Ruri Saga, written by Shido Takeshi.  "Those Unforgettable Days."  Vote with everyone...I mean, Check it out with everyone together!

Yurika: It's fortune within misfortune that the Nadesico isn't taking any hits.

Ruri: The battle that day was a mess.

Jun (with Inez translating): I should wear a seat belt when I pilot the Aestivalis.

Jun (in block sign): Not again.  No dialogue for me for a while.

Akito: I wasn't as bad as the others.  I was going to destroy the Tulip, but I destroyed a fuel depot of the United Force.

Seiya: Listen, I may be clumsy with women, but I've never failed in maintenance.

Ruri: It's fun to speak badly of someone, whatever the reason, isn't it?

Ruri: Adults are so cunning.

Munetake: Yes, from a civilian ship to a true military ship for military use.

Akito: It stinks.
Seiya: You'll get used to it.
Yurika: Are all guys the same?
Ruri: I hate this room.

Seiya: It reminds me of the library at MIT, which I failed to be admitted to 7 times.

Ruri: Omoikane remebers the strongest and most righteous object among all inputs as the Defender of Justice, and its ally.  Omoikane has been watching the Genkigander videos with you.

Akito: Are you suggesting that I fight Genkigander III?

Yurika: Go for it, Akito.  Let's beat the crap out of Genkigander!

Ruri: Akito's devotion can't be surpassed.

Omoikane: Those unforgettable days.  Because of them, I live now.

More to come...
