Quotes 

• Col. Shikishima : It is not a soldier's duty to make policy. I follow my orders.

• Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : You got a bad attitude, pops. Lighten up before your arteries harden.

• Col. Shikishima : I see. Why waste your time?

  Doctor : It's a Soldier's Duty. You wouldn't understand.

• Col. Shikishima : It's a soldier's duty. You wouldn't understand.

• Col. Shikishima : We've come a long way since that holocaust. We can't risk losing it all now because of this. Now all these fools care about is indulging themselves.

• Col. Shikishima : Memories are short!

• Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Let's see...

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [bursts through the door, causing the bartender to scoop up the pills, before going to talk with Kaneda]  We've got the Clowns cornered near the expressway.

  Harukiya Bartender : Hey, this isn't a dance hall, sport.

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : You've got a bad attitude, pops. Lighten up before your arteries harden.

  [to the customer from the drug deal] 

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Hey, man. That stuff'll stunt your growth.

  Harukiya Bartender : How many times do I have to tell you punks? At least he's a payin' customer!

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Then I won't tell him what's in it, huh?

• Tetsuo (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [checking out the functions of Kaneda's bike]  Ceramic double-rotor two-wheel drive. Man, it even has computer-controlled anti-lock brakes! 12,000 RPMs!

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [entering the alley, followed by Yama]  Is that you again, Tetsuo?

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : What? That pea brain?

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [as Tetsuo gets off the bike]  That bike's been designed just for me. It's too much for a kid like you.

  Yamagata (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [to Tetsuo, while mounting his bike]  That bike'd grind you up and spit out the seeds, sport.

  Tetsuo (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [defiantly, while mounting his own bike]  I could ride it.

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [while turning on the bike]  Yeah, yeah. Don't make me laugh. Maybe when you've downed your first Clown.

• Yuji Takeyama : Look, I'm tellin' ya that the government, or at least the army was after that little guy.

  Yamagata : Well, maybe they were, but so what?

  Kai : You're missing the main point. Why don't they tell us where they took Tetsuo?

  Kay : What? What'd he say?

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Oh, nothing. Say, why don't you and me get lost and have a few laughs?

  Kay : Haha.

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Okay, maybe we could sit down and talk about, you know, the revolution and all that stuff.

  Kay : Hm. Well, that's a new way to pick up a girl. What do you delinquents know about politics, anyway?

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Hey, come on! Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, huh?

  Cop : Okay, you bums, sit quietly and I...

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Hey, I'm not givin' you a line. Just tell me about it and maybe me and my friends can help. I mean, we could ride out like the cavalry, huh?

  Kay : Well, thanks, anyway. I gotta go. Thanks a lot, um... Uh...

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Kaneda.

  Kay : Yeah. Well, thanks, Kaneda.

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Huh? Wait. Do you have to go so soon? Hey, that's not fair. Whoa! Wait a sec! Hey, that's the last time I stick my neck out for you! Hey!

  [gets cut off by a train while chasing her] 

  Kaneda (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : Well, the least you could do is tell me your name!

• Col. Shikishima : It's not my job to believe or disbelieve. It's to act or not to act.

• Tetsuo (1988 Streamline Pictures dub) : [checking out the functions of Kaneda's bike]  Ceramic double-rotor two-wheel drive. Man, it even has computer-comtrolled anti-lock brakes! 12,000 RPMs!
