Togusa quotes from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

It's not like I had aspirations to be a hero or anything. However, I'm positive we followed a code of justice that all of believed in without condition or compromise. Laughing Man, you were the one who first tried to shed some light on the black abyss of this case and bring it to the world's attention. Is it possible that at this moment, you're feeling the same as I am? Nah, you wouldn't. Your not the type to go in for that stuff. You must've had a revelation of something and you're watching this with eyes that see the big picture. Isn't that right? I could tell. Major...

Batou

But Major! What if the robot geishas demand a pay raise?

Knock it off.

Togusa, meet up with the Chief at Kenbishi. Find out what caused the tank to go haywire. Batou and I will herd the runaway tank with the six Tachikomas.

Batou

Gee, you get all the action…

Don’t come crying to me if that tank blows you to hell.

Batou

You get all the fun jobs, don't ya?

Don't come crying to me if you get blown away.

We've been through this, like I've told you over and over, that's not true.

Then why was a member of Section 9 in contact with Mr. Serano while impersonating the Laughing Man

Look, that was only to...

To what?

Hey! Section 9 didn't even exist six years ago, did it? How the hell could it be involved with the Laughing Man incident?! Huh?!

Word has it that data falsification is a specialty with you guys, that true?

Huh? Ah... gimme a break, would ya? Six years ago I was a police investigator, same as you.

All right, let's take this again... from the top.

Motoko

Sounds like Dejima's declared itself an autonomous region.

Daisuke

Hmm.

Batou

You figure Kuze's behind it?

Daisuke

So far, there's been no evidence of Kuze himself, but it's a safe bet it's him. He's cleverly making affected use of the net to divulge the refugee's intentions to the media.

He's the Che Guevara of the refugee residential district. At least that's what the Nonial Press is calling him.

Batou

Great, another intangible hero. The thing I don't get though is, Kuze started it as one of the Individual Eleven, correct? Why did the refugees welcome the guy with open arms? Does he really have some kind of special ability like investigations of The Major and Ishikawa suggested?

Motoko

To get the answer, we'll just have to capture him and ask him in person. You also have to realize it's only due to his involvement that we can even step in here like this.

Daisuke

That's right. The first order of business is to put the bricks on this situation by apprehending Kuze, the suspected leader of the refugees. We'll worry about getting the authority to challenge the C.I.S. afterward.

Ishikawa

In cases like this, it's always the ones whose backs are up against the wall that pull together and take action the quickest. The actions of our own citizens are an opposition to the government agencies at this point.

It's a mass trend toward individualism. No, it's more like a peace at any price movement growing within the population. Even though this is basically a declaration of war from the refugees.

Motoko

Batou, you and the others go on ahead and gather information on how extensively the refugees are armed. Ishikawa and I will dive the refugees' net and rendezvous with you after we've pinpointed Kuze's location.

Roger!

It's a lot livelier here than I had heard.

Batou

The refugees have been building up this high rise slum for over twenty years. That's why I don't find it strange they refer to the place as their castle.
