Renton Thurston quotes from Eureka Seven

Renton

I'm sorry I did this without permission. I thought that as long as I'm on board this ship waiting to talk to Holland, I'd try to make good use of myself. Hap: Come on, Renton. Don't be saying depressing stuff like that. I really don't know what you've determined to do with your life, but I'm not gonna get in your way. In fact, I'd...I'd like to cheer you on because you're one of our dear friends. Renton: (surprised) Thank you, Hap. (Talho comes in) Talho: Renton. Renton: Yes? Talho: We didn't create the Gekkostate in order to pretend we're some sort of an extended family. You understand? Hap: Hey, Talho, there's no reason for you to put it that way. Talho: Why don't you just shut up, Hap! Renton: Yes, I know. I think the reason this ship exists is in order to go to war. Talho: By any chance do you happen to know why we're at war? Renton: No I don't. Talho: So you can fight without knowing the reason why? Renton: I cant fight at all. And I can't fight at all, either. Talho: Really? Even if this war was started by that famous father of yours, Adroc Thurston, who saved the world? (Renton and everyone is shocked) Adroc was working as a technician for the army when one day he made the shocking assertion that this land, Scub Coral, was actually a Coralian, a sentiment being. He tried to prove his assertions, but in the process of the investigation at the Great Wall. adverse effects on humans, believed to be from Scub Coral, expanded among the researchers and army associates. The army officials, hearing of this, decided to get rid of the Coralian, and Adroc, in the end, was against it. He was convinced, he was absolutely convinced, that the Coralian was an intelligent life form. That qas why he had searched for a way to co-exist. His conviction was cemented by the emergence of a human-shaped Coralian. The name of the humanoid Coralian...is Eureka. (everyone is more shocked)

Renton

Talho, you don't...you don't like it, do you, Talho, about my blood flowing through Holland's body? Talho: Holland never forgets about people he used to care about, about Diane, who's no longer here...about your sister. Renton: Wait, why would Holland know anything about my sister? Talho: Because he's just that kind of guy. He cant forget about the woman who dumped him. He's unfashionable, stupid, clumsy, and nothing but a fool who knows only how to act physically! He's really a good-for-nothing! (she starts crying and Renton starts walking away) I'm sorry, Renton, that Holland is someone like this. Renton: (stops and looks back at her) Talho, it's true, of course. I really did like my sister. But, I'm...I'm not her. I am who I am. Besides, I think you're the only one that can support Holland right now and give him exactly what he needs. Talho: Idiot.

Renton

(thinking to himself) I want to protect Eureka, and it has nothing to do with being a partner or about the world in general. I just want to be by Eureka's side. That feeling hasn't changed one bit from the very beginning.

Renton

If it's that tough for you, you don't have to fight. If it's really that tough, you don't have to fight anymore. I just don't want to see you in pain like this so often. But even if we just abandoned everything right now, I don't think this war will end. That's why I'm going to fight! So that I can somehow stop this war that's begun between humans and Coralians. I believe that with you and the Nirvash here, I might be able to put an end to this battle! So please, trust me. Eureka: Renton... Renton: Let's do something that we both believe in, Eureka! Eureka: Right!

Renton

Eureka, what's beyond the Great Wall? Eureka: I don't know, but there's one word I know to describe it. Renton: What is it? Eureka: Future. That is what is beyond the Great Wall, Renton. Adroc said that to me. Renton: My dad did? (he is shocked as she nods her head) Wait, you mean you know all about my dad? Eureka: What's wrong? Renton: You should've told me that you knew. Eureka: About what? Renton: About my dad! Eureka: Well, I didn't think you would want to hear about him that much. Am I wrong? Renton: (he grabs her shoulders) He's my family! Geez, any human would want to hear about their family, wouldn't they? Eureka: I don't understand that, Renton! Renton: What do you mean you don't understand? It's the natural way for humans to think! What's wrong with you?! Eureka: What's wrong...is that I'm not human. (she runs away)

Renton

Sis, is it you?! Diane: Hello, Renton. Been a while. Renton: (crying and hugs her) Oh, Sis! Diane: You've grown quite a bit since a last saw you. Renton: Where did you run off to, Sis? I thought I'd never, ever see you again. Diane: I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to worry. But now, you and I will always be together.
