Ebina quotes from Gin Tama

Shinpachi

Excuse me, Ebina-san [the kappa-like alien in the lake]. If I give you my glasses, will you forgive me?

Ebina

Congratulations for your apologies. Here's some cookies as your reward.

Shinpachi

I'm thankful, but... What should I do with this?

You see, that's why I told you to leave this place. This isn't your home, it's my property. As you can see, I bought this whole region.

Ebina

Shut up! I was living here even before you were in your dad's balls! Why do I have to leave? I mean, don't look over here, it's embarrassing. Put your camera away, seriously.

Shinpachi

Since that plate broke, he's gotten a bit shy... Does that plate have any meaning anyway?

Ebina

It was tough... Humans feel their existence when they're surrounded by other people. If I hadn't found a place to live, I'd surely be dead by now. That's until I found her...

Ebina

She was always sitting there, doing nothing, just staring at the lake the whole time. I first stayed in hiding, but then I noticed I was just being foolish. [in the flashback] Hey you, what are you doing there? [narrating] The girl seemed a bit surprised when she saw me, but...

It's boring to stay alone at home, so I thought it would be better if I came here, even by myself. We're both like that, right?

You're a lucky man, mister.

Ebina

Why?

Because you live free in that beautiful lake. I've been ill since childhood, so I could never get into the lake. I wish I could swim freely in there at least once... In that transparent world...

Ebina

You body... Can't you heal it?

It's impossible. It'll always be like this.

Ebina

Idiot. Don't lose confidence on yourself. I'll protect you until your body's fixed, then everything will be alright. So, get well soon.

I see. It's a promise, mister.
