[Shinpachi is talking about the difference between him and his father]
I want to live more elegantly.
GintokiThat’s nice, but I just can’t see you being elegant.
[Gintoki and Shinpachi are riding on the motor scooter to save Otae]
She’s going to launch soon. Can’t this thing go any faster?
GintokiWell you see, safety first. And it would hurt to fall.
Is this the time for that?? My sister’s going to be in high-leg shabu-shabu hell!
[in patrol car behind them] Hey you with no helmet: stop right there!
GintokiWhat are you talking about? Do I really need a helmet in this day and age?
[coming up beside Gintoki] Ok, but it’ll really hurt if you fall, you see. I’m worried about you.
GintokiIt’s all right. I’ve got a hard head.
What’s that? That kind of attitude when I’m tryin’ to help you?! I’ll really hurt! A lot!
GintokiShut up, I’m telling you, I have a hard head! [rams into the police car and head buts the policeman]
Ah, I’ve got a nosebleed!
[A police car crashes into the brothel ship]
Did the police find out about us?
GintokiDon’t worry; this is just a rental car!
GintokiI’ll take care of them, so you guys find a lifeboat and get out of here.
What about you?
GintokiYou just think about protecting your sister. I’ll protect who I want to protect.
GintokiShinji, Go!
It’s Shinpachi, dammit!
[moments after Gintoki tells them to flee]
You really did come back!
GintokiIt was tough. It was tougher than I thought it would be.
Please try harder…you didn’t even last a minute!
GintokiIdiot, even one minute would’ve been too much!
There’s nothing you can protect. The country and these skies belong to us, the Amanto.
GintokiThe country? The skies? You can have them. I’m busy just protecting what’s right in front of me. I don’t know what’ll happen to me in the future, but if something has fallen at my feet, then the least I can do is pick it up.
[the ship plummets down to the ocean]
GintokiWhat is this weightlessness? I feel sick.
We’re falling aren’t we? We’re falling!
[talking to the policeman whose car Gintoki carjacked]
GintokiWhat? I helped arrest the villains who threatened to violate the purity of our fair city! That should cancel out something like borrowing a police car!
What the hell do you mean? The car was smashed to pieces!
GintokiIt was already a piece of trash when I took it.
Was not!
GintokiTry looking at it! You actually look better now!
Really what part?
Hey Gintoki! Enough with the excuses! Just hurry up and pay the damned rent!
GintokiI fixed your VCR the other day, didn’t I? That should make us even.
No way. This is a full month’s rent we’re talking about. Not only that, the VCR broke again and didn’t record my show!
GintokiDon’t worry. I’m sure they’ll show it again if it gets popular.
I don’t care about that! Just give me my money, you permanent perm!
GintokiShut it! Do you know the pain of having a permanent perm?!
Then just kill yourself!
GintokiOh crap! Today is Jump release day! I forgot it comes out on Saturday this week! We have to go back!
Who cares? We’ve already got everything we need for sukiyaki.
Well, this may be a good opportunity to kick the Jump habit. What am I doing, reading Jump at my age? Well, a man remains a boy until his death…
Sorry, but could you keep the embarrassing proclamations to yourself?
[after hitting Kagura with his motor scooter, Gintoki looks inside a vending machine slot]
GintokiD-don’t worry. A-all we have to do is find a t-t-time machine.
You’re the one who has to calm down!
GintokiIt’s okay. I went to a fortune teller earlier, and she said my luck would be good on the weekend. I’m sure she’s miraculously unhurt. H-hey…[He turns Kagura over, and a pool of blood forms on the road.] [cut to Gintoki riding with Shinpachi and Kagura on the motor scooter] Ah! We have to leave this town forever! Then again, the weather girl’s pretty cute.
Are you stupid? I won’t die from a little scooter accident. This injury is from being shot. Look, it’s already healed.
GintokiDo you eat Bondo for breakfast?
[Kagura is holding the scooter down, preventing Gintoki to speed away.]
GintokiShinpachi, you’ve suddenly got a lot heavier.
I’ve never seen a grown man abandon a girl being chased by the yakuza.
GintokiWell, I’m a boy at heart. And besides, in this country, we don’t call someone who can stop a scooter with her bare hands a girl. We call her a mountain gorilla.
GintokiUm, do you have any Jump?
If you want an Akamaru Jump (red circle Jump), then yeah.
GintokiAkamaru Jump…
