Renton
Grandpa, I'm sorry. Until now, I think I've been running away. Axel: Away from what? Renton: From things that I have to do and things I thought were weighing me down. So, I'm gonna stop running away now. I'm gonna stop. I'm not gonna run anymorw. I'm gonna go get some training. I wanna train so that some day I can become a mechanic just like you, Grandpa. Axel: Good, you've come to your senses. It'll be tough. Renton: I know, but it'll be alright. and that's because I'm your grandson. Axel: (crying) Idiot. It's not nice to make an old man cry. (walks away) Renton: (with tears in eyes) Grandpa.
Mischa-san, I'm at my limit... Mischa: Renton? What is it? Trouble? Eureka: Sensei, Renton is writhing back and forth. Mischa: Writhing? Renton: Nee-san...I'm...going... (vomits)
Now look here! Linck: Oh, hey! It's only you, Renton. Maeter: Look here? Makes you sound like an old guy talking! Maurice: what do you want, Renton? Renton: Don't you 'what do you want?' me! This is all your guys' doing, isn't it? (points to the scribbles on his face as the kids laugh) I try to stay calm, but you keep setting traps and doodling all over me! Maurice: Yeah, and put roaches in your pockets... Linck: Prank phone calls, too! Maeter: It was so funny when we sewed up the zipper on your pants!
Well, umm, exactly...how old is Eureka anyway? Gidget: How old is she? Stoner: Hey, don't ask me. Matthieu: I'd say around 15 or 16, judging from that beautiful figure of hers. Gidget: Oh, Miss Hilda! Matthieu's looking at young girls like a dirty, old pervert! Matthieu: Idiot would you stop that! Talho: You want Eureka as the cover girl for next month's issue? Maybe we'll get some brand new fans. Stoner: Yeah, well, we don't need fans like that. Gidget: Matthieu has a lolita complex! Matthieu: Hey! Do you want me to punch you, Gidget?
(getting ready to drop the Pancha fruit) Are you ready, Matthieu? Please don't drop them. Matthieu: Leave it to me. Even though I look like this, I've got incredible reflexes.
(thinking) I didn't care at all, or rather, I want listening to all. I was thinking more about why Mr. Britney had stopped his excavations, why he had given up. Was that mine really dead? And if so, why didn't he just start to dig the next one? Was this something that was impossible for a kid like me to understand? What did he hope to accomplish by stealing the Nirvash and showing it to his son? Sis, why did Dad leave me the Amita Drive? Was it something that Dad really found in an old mine? Is it something that I should be protecting with my life? If is isn't so, Sis...then why am I here?
(thinking) Those that punch...those that give up...those that leave me behind... Everyone's selfish. Everyone says what they want and then destroy my faith in them. Same goes for Eureka. She doesn't seem to realize how I feel when I pilot the Nirvash. I'm only piloting it for her sake, but Eureka doesn't believe in me.
With these hands, I...I killed someone. Of course, it seems I've been killing people all along. Sis, even when they're in pain, people still become hungry. My hunger disappeared when I ate, but the pain in my heart didn't go away. I'm in so much pain, yet not one person gives me the tiniest kind word.
It's true, I really did think it was strange. Charles was so forceful, uncaring of the situations that I've been in, and he's so grand and...well, on top of everything, the meal. The meal was so tasty it actually made me cry. Nature and humans can change in the blinck of an eye. That was a surprise to me, but Sis...I think maybe this was the first time in my life...that I felt this peaceful.
Humans are truly amazing beings. I'm doing the same things, but the reactions I get are so different. Over there, they yelled at me and told me I was being slow, but over here they asked me if I'm done and are surprised at the speed. There, I was told that I was inconsiderate. Here they laugh at me and say that I don't have to do so much. Honestly, this place is very comfortable. I mean, when I was with the Gekkostate, I was just a... Ray: Homesick? Renton: Huh? No, nothing like that. Ray: Oh, do you miss your mother, then? Renton: (holding her bra) Huh? Uh, well... Ray: I'm just kidding. I came here to tell you we'll be landing soon.
How long had it been since I left Charles' place? Seemed like forever. I kept walking for the promise, the promise of getting to see Eureka. But...but now I couldn't get myself to even walk. And I was beginning to lose sight of the reason why I kept on walking. Sis...maybe, maybe I... (collapses)
I want to know. Wasn't there a way for you not to have to kill him? (about Charles) Holland: Charles was a member of the SOF, just like Eureka and I and Ray, too. Renton: Why does Ray hate Eureka so much? Holland: Charles and Ray always wanted to start a family, but Ray was unable to bear children. Renton: Huh? Holland: and Ray believes that the reason why she can't lies with Eureka. Even if it costs me my life, I'm going to protect the two of you, but if something happens to me, I's trusting you with Eureka. You were the one she chose. Earlier, you asked why it was I killed Charles? Because we're both the type of people that don't know any other way. The same can be said for Ray.
Please, listen to me, Miss Ray! If you won't stop...then, I'm going to fight against you. I've decided that I'm going to protect Eureka, and it was Charles who taught me to see everything through the end! So, I'm going to fight...even if it's against you!
