I am alone. I don't need any comrades, they're not worth it. I end up worrying about things I shouldn't. You know, me being such a prize and all that. All the guys end up fighting over me like dogs. They say humans are social animals, they can't live alone. But you can live pretty well by yourself. I tell ya, instead of feeling alone in a group, it's better to have real solitude all by yourself.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You said that you don't need comrades, but I am attracted to that word. To the point of tears...
Why are you going to see Vicious? Didn't you say he framed you?
[beat] I want to find out if he did.
He'll murder you.
Death does not frighten me.
You're lying. [Gren pauses for a beat]
Either way, I don't have long to live.
[shows photo of Faye to the Blue Crow bartender] Are you sure it was this woman?
BBartender
Oh, yeah. It's been six months since I saw a woman in the flesh, and two years since I saw a girl that good-looking. Trust me, I wouldn't make a mistake about that.
[to himself] Man, I sure wouldn't want to live around here.
BBartender
She sat over there talking to Gren. [Jet sees a lone bar stool] Julia used to sit in that same seat.
Julia?
BBartender
About two years ago, she wandered in out of the blue. Month later, she disappeared.
Yeah? What kinda girl was she?
BBartender
She was a real woman.
I'm the only one who can keep you alive... And I'm the only one that can kill you...
There's nothing to believe in. Nor is there a reason to believe.
[Spike carries up a slowly dying Gren into the cockpit of his ship]
I get it now. You're the one, aren't you? You're Spike. [sees Spike's different shades of brown in his eyes] Julia was always talking about you. Your eyes are different colors. I remember her saying that. [Gren's eyes are watering] Said you get a strange feeling if you keep looking straight into his eyes.
Where'd you meet her? Where was she?
Right on the corner bar stool. She'd slip in when I wasn't looking. And she'd ask me to play the same song every time she came in. Strange lilting tune, and then she would smile. Ohh, what a smile. So sad... so beautiful.
[Chessmaster Hex starts laughing uproariously after Ed wins in a game of e-chess]
HHex
This is either an idiot or a genius! I like this fellow...!
[when the boss catches the chess piece thrown by Jet]
This is a game, all planned out in advance. You Gate guys know exactly what I'm talkin' about. You put a bounty out on some mastermind who may not even exist, which means you don't want the police to know who's really behind this. You suits are using us bounty hunters like pawns, and I don't appreciate it. [the boss pauses for a beat]
BBoss
Bounty hunters should look for bounties. I suggest you do that. Maybe you used to work for the ISSP, maybe not. Either way, you'd be wise to drop this line of inquiry. [turns away] Our guest is leaving now. Make sure he's escorted out of the building.
So, listen, guys. Why don't we all pony up the information we have on this case, and agree to spilt the bounty three ways. Whaddaya say?
You're kidding, right? You're the one who said to work separately. "Each one gathering the facts and examining them"?
Occasional rivalry between comrades is healthy. I believe that's the way you put it.
[Spike and Faye crash into Chessmaster Hex's room, aiming him at gunpoint]
Chessmaster Hex, I take it.
Don't try anything. Understand?
HHex
You both... [turns to see Spike and Faye] Well, could you just be a little quieter, please?
[Spike and Faye look confused at each other; Jonathan appears between them]
JJonathan
Old man... [starts growling with anger] Hand it over! [aims his heavy gun at Hex's face]
Hey, hold on a minute!
JJonathan
Pretending to be senile won't get you out of this.
Who are you?!
JJonathan
Either you give me the money you took, or I put a hole right through your brain!
HHex
[chuckles as he touches his gun] That's quite a large pipe there.
[takes a closer look at Ein] I've been trying to figure out who it is you remind me of. Now I know. It's that guy with the thin eyebrows. Whitney Hagas Matsumoto. I wonder why I suddenly thought of him out of the blue like that. Do you want a secret about my past? Do you? [Ein yawns hard] Tch...
DBDoctor Bacchus
"Who am I? My past? My future?" These are questions every human asks at least once in their life.
[Whitney and Faye hide in the woods from a collection agency ship]
WWhitney
If we stay here, we'll both get caught. You'd better jump out and run.
What about you?
WWhitney
I'll meet you at the medical clinic. All right?
But why are you helping me like this?
WWitney
Our prince has to protect Sleeping Beauty. That's the way it works.
[Faye has just poured out her life story to Ein in front of the bathroom. Spike flushes the toilet and emerges from the bathroom stall next to Faye]
[grumpy] How long were you in there listening, Spike?
Too long. Your story needs editing.
