Girls und Panzer quotes

Saori

Hey girl, you want to grab some lunch?

Miho

Huh? [realizes she was talking to her] Ah...

Hana

See that, Saori, you startled Nishizumi. You'll make a bad first impression.

Saori

Sorry, I was just trying to be funny.

Hana

Anyway, to repeat the question, if you would like to have lunch with us, we'd both be delighted.

Hana

If she went out of her way to ask you to pick Tankery, you must be some sort of master fighter. Are you a war hero and were to shy to tell us? You don't have to be so humble about it. Tell us about your duels, your rampages, your extortion plots.

Miho

I come from a family with a long history of riding tanks.

Saori

Oh?

Hana

Wow!

Miho

But I don't like tanks much myself. That's why I came to this school, to try and avoid Tankery.

Anzu

So, we've decided to end our school's current hiatus on Tankery. If you choose it as your elective, we'll give you a bunch of cool benefits. Vice president?

Yuzu

Those who do well in the course will receive one hundred meal tickets, two hundred free passes for if you're late, and finally, three times the credit you'd receive in another class.

Saori

You pick whatever you like and we'll go with you.

Miho

No way, you two wanted to do Tankery.

Saori

It's fine, we want to be with you more.

Miho

These two wanted to do Tankery. And not only did they give up that, now they're fighting the student council too. They're doing this all for me. If I can just... [recalls a traumatizing Tankery match] Alright, that's fine.

Huh?

Miho

I'll do it, I'll do Tankery.

Hana

But they've got personality, wouldn't you say?

Saori

I think the word you're looking for is rust.

Miho

It looks like the armor and treads are just fine. We might be able to work with this.

Momo

Well, our school got rid of Tankery several years ago but the tanks that were used should still be around here somewhere. No, I'm sure they're here. Our Tankery instructor should be here the day after tomorrow. We'll find the remaining four tanks before then.

Where do you think we might find them?

Anzu

We're looking for them because we don't know where they are.

Saori

We did it, we found one.

Miho

A 38(t).

Saori

It's smaller than the last one. It's got screws all over the place.

Yukari

The 38(t). It was a mainstay of Field Marshal Rommel's 7th Panzer division, and was an important tank in the initial stages of the blitzkrieg. It's nimble and can cross distances quickly. Oh, and the t means that it was made in Czechoslovakia. It's not a unit of weight.

Saori

You went kind of crazy there.

Momo

We found one of them.

Anzu

So they can get things done if they try.

Saori

Which port were we going to visit? I have a boyfriend in every port so it's hard to keep track of where they all are.

Hana

I'll believe you if boyfriend means the curry place you always eat at.

Saori

I told you to go left.

Hana

Sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Miho

The tank commander indicates which way to go with her feet.

Saori

Feet?

Miho

Yeah, she kicks the operator in the shoulder of the direction she wants to go.

Saori

I couldn't do something like that to my good friend.

Hana

Kick me as hard as you can.

Saori

What? Fine, then left. [gives a hard, loud kick]

Hana

Could you kick me a little softer?

Tankery starts with a bow and ends with a bow. All contestants, bow.

Let's have a good match.

I came, I saw, I shot.

Saori

Mako, you can drive?

Mako

I learned just now.
