The Great Lines of Nadesico
And here's a fair warning-some of these may just be scenes, but are
here in dialogue form.
Episode One
Gort: Is this a military operation?
Prospector: Besides, there's a lot of women in the next workplace.
And you'll receive a bonus. (presses a few buttons on his calculator)
One...two...three... (shows Gort) About this much.
Gort: Can I ask you a question?
Prospector: What?
Gort: What is it after taxes?
Prospector: Yes, the very best staff; even if they have personality problems.
Seiya: Oh, I'll go. Let's go.
Prospector: But don't you want to know about the conditions
of the contract...?
Seiya: It's ok. To get away from her (sideglances to wife),
I'd even go to hell.
Akito: His treasure is a Genkigander toy? How old is he?
Akito: Depending on the situation, I might-
Yurika: -go steady with me? Or propose? It's too
early.
Akito: No!
Ruri: Too many idiots...
Megumi: I'm a little concerned about our future.
Minato: But it seems interesting.
Akito: I mean-
Yurika: You love me very much!
Akito: No!
Yurika: You love me very, very, very much!
Akito: Wait a minute!
Ruri: It's unimportant, but who named this ship Nadesico?
Yurika: Oh no! It's hard-boiled and it's romantic.
Misumaru: Yurika, you look haggard.
Yurika: It's only been two days since we last met, Father.
Seiya: My dreams of freedom's over in one day.
Megumi: I'm disappointed. I thought there'd be lots of handsome guys on a battleship.
Gai: Game insert. Switch on.
Gort: They yell out the names of weapons. I wonder if it's got voice recognition.
Gai: Occupied HQ and conspiracy in the army... Don't you
hope those children overcome these difficulties and keep going forward?
Seiya (at camera): Who're the children he's talking about?
Ruri's mouth forms a smile.
Megumi: Ruri, did you smile?
Ruri: Not quite. I'm also foolish more or less.
Ruri: Manual launch. On my mark. Get set. Bang.
Minato (watching Akito's Aestivalis bouncing in and out of the water): My my, hopping and jumping... He's so energetic.
Megumi: We're back on the super express.
Gai: You're voice's too low!
Yurika: "Gaijin" (Japanese for "foreign person"<--my note) wouldn't understand Japanese anyway, and I thought I should "look" charming.
Misumaru: Even though it's hard to believe, even though she's my daughter, she has way too much sex appeal in that kimono.
Gai: I won't allow a cook to strike a pose this time.
Yurika: You're both guys, ain't you?
Seiya: Forget about someone who doesn't listen to others.
Gai: I'll name it, "Gander Cross Operation"!
Yurika: Um, did your plan fail?
Gai: Gusty Gai Super Napalm!
Gai: Go Akito! This is what a men's fight should be like!
Yurika: I wonder why Jun's acting so harshly towards Akito?
Jun: Yurika, I might have wanted to do this from the start in order to protect you. This place is where I belong after all.
Akito: The role of Yurika's knight is open.
Gai: I'm a defender of justice by birth, you know?
Gai: Don't die in a more sensational matter than I would!
Ruri: Anyway, Yamada, you've done well.
Yurika: As his girlfriend, I'm the only one that can cheer up Akito.
Seiya: Even the manual turns me on.
How Mei: I hope those new guys are annoying.
Seiya: Why?
How Mei: It's better if they're annoying because they might
die in battle.
Minato: I wish Jovian Lizards were that playful.
Izumi: The air tastes to good.
Seiya: Clear the area. An idiot's gonna take a chance.
Izumi: Boiled pork...
Hikaru: I found a big pearl.
Hikaru: Deadly double attack!
Yurika: It was just a bad dream, even though it was so realistic.
Announcer (for preview): And Ruri murmurs, "Too many idiots."
