Arcadia of My Youth (1982)
Tarô Ishida: Zêda
Quotes
-
Zêda : Harlock! I have found you to be a true Earthman, who cannot simply be judged in terms of data. The same goes for Tochiro, and for Maya. I have long wished to duel with you, not as commander of the Earth Occupation Forces, but a warrior. Rest assured, I will give no quarter in this battle!
-
[Zeda's final words to Harlock]
Zêda : Harlock, when we meet in Hell, let us drink as friends. Until then, realize your dreams without dying! Live, and be certain to realize your dreams! Farewell!
-
Zêda : This is the Illumidus Occupation Force. Follow these commands and land at Base 446. If you resist, we will destroy your ship at once!
-
Zêda : [analysing Harlock's data] A recipient of the Badge of Combat Heroism... such a man would not be without use.
-
[an apprehensive Zoll waits for Harlock's arrival]
Zêda : It would seem you took this Earthman for better than he was, Zoll...
[the clock strikes ten]
Captain Harlock : I have come.
-
Zoll : This is His Excellency Zeda, Supreme Commander of the Illumidus Earth Occupation Forces.
Captain Harlock : I am Harlock, captain of the Deathshadow. I have nothing more to say.
Murigson : Don't wisecrack, you whip cur!
[tries to punch Harlock, but his hand is seized in a deadlock]
Zêda : Let him go, Harlock.
-
Zêda : [holding Phantom F. Harlock's autobiography] If you had time to read books, you should have devised a means of victory. You can't defeat us with books!
-
Zêda : [about Triter] Unprincipled man!
-
Murigson : Anyway, Harlock... the Supreme Commander has heard of your reputation and would not be unwilling to give you work, if you want it.
Captain Harlock : Not a chance!
Zêda : You are stubborn. Very well, then!
Murigson : When you receive your food coupon, get lost and stay lost! There's nothing more for you to do! You'll never fly again! Got that?
-
Murigson : Harlock's returning? It can't be! All bases prepare to intercept!
Zêda : Hold it! Let them return to Earth, just as they are!
Murigson : Why sir? Let's shoot it down, it's only one ship!
Zêda : Just try shooting down one returning ship with Illumidus's combined forces - the Earthmen will simply stir up another insurrection!
Murigson : Commander, we really must intercept!
Zêda : They are seeking to land on their own initiative. Shooting down those who dare to return to Earth where a harsh fate awaits them, is something I won't do! They are true men, we must meet them as befits knights!
-
Zêda : [to his officers] Do not be intimidated! Fire!
-
Zêda : Hold it, Harlock! I, too have pride. If you want to depart Earth in safety, you will have to go through me!
Captain Harlock : A duel?
Zêda : Yes. I shall choose the battlefield. As in times of old, the duel shall be one-on-one. I will not allow anyone to interfere.
-
[Murigson trains a blaster on Harlock]
Zêda : You disobeyed me. You took matters into your own hands, and drew your gun. Settle this yourself!
[Zeda walks away; Harlock shoots Murigson in the head]
-
Captain Harlock , Zêda : [aboard their respective bridges] FIRE!
