Miho quotes from Girls und Panzer

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.

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.

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?

Saori

But I think the commander should really be Miho.

Miho

Huh?

Hana

We really don't know much about tanks, so the commander is going to have a hard time.

Yukari

But Miss Nishizumi knows what she's doing.

Miho

Huh, huh, I do? But I don't think that I'm really all that good at it, you know.

Hana

If you would, please.

Saori

Pretty please.

Yukari

Please, do us the favor.

Miho

Right, I'll do it. Thank you, I'll do my best.

Saori

The Ankou dance? That's way too embarrassing. If you dance that, you'll never be able to get married.

Yukari

That would totally get uploaded to the net and sent to everyone across the country.

Hana

You'll never be able to live it down.

Miho

Is that dance really that bad?

Miho

I guess the operation can be, let's see, Operation Sneaky Sneak, because I want to sneakily see what the enemy is up to, then sneakily attack them.

Momo

Doesn't sound like much thought went into that.

Yukari

There are four Matilda IIs and a single Churchill, all advancing. They've got quite the tight formation there.

Miho

No kidding, it's amazing that they're able to move as a group without falling out of line at that speed.

Yukari

We won't be able to breach their frontal armor with the rounds we're carrying.

Miho

That's where tactics and skill come in.

Erika

Subcommander. Or would that be former subcommander?

Miho

Big sister.

Maho

I didn't think you'd still be doing Tankery.

Yukari

If I may say something, I don't think Miho's decision was incorrect in that match you had.

Erika

I think someone needs to mind her own business.

Hana

That was close.

Miho

Yeah, it was almost like they knew what we were going to do. [takes a closer look a a balloon flying over the Saunders camp]

Hana

Miho, what's wrong?

Miho

They have a device that's intercepting our transmissions up there.

Hana

But isn't that against the rules...

Miho

Shhh!

Yukari

Well, there's nothing in the rule book that says you can't put up wiretapping devices.

Saori

How terrible who cares how much money you have.

Hana

Let's say something.

Miho

In that case...

Hana

If I focus just like when I do flower arrangements.

Yukari

Loading complete.

Miho

Make it happen, please.

Hana

Fire.

Are you the commander?

Miho

Huh, well, yes.

Exciting. [she hugs Miho] I never thought I'd be able to have a match like this.

Miho

Say...

What is it?

Miho

Why did you only come after us with four tanks?

I matched our numbers to the number of tanks you had.

Miho

But why?

Because that's Tankery. This isn't war. The tanks would be sad if we forgot that, you know.

You will carry on the Nishizumi school as well. The Nishizumi school is the one that will continue to move forward. Our tradition is to value, above all else, strength and victory.

Miho

But, but mother, I just want...

You cannot be grandly victorious without sacrifice, you know that.

Miho

Since I moved here, I've been thinking it was fun too. Before now, I just kept thinking I had to win and that was about it. That's why, when I lost, I decided to start avoiding tanks.

Yukari

Hey, I saw that match on TV.

Miho

Huh?

Yukari

You left the lines to go and help your other team member, didn't you?

Miho

My tank was the flag tank, and because I went to help, my tank got shot and we lost. I broke our winning streak.

Yukari

I don't care. I think you made the right decision in that situation.

Miho

Huh?

Yukari

I've said this before, I think the team members that you saved are really happy that you helped them, Miss Nishizumi.

Mako

What kind of club would hang out laundry all the way out here?

Miho

Wait, is that?
