Saori quotes from Girls und Panzer

Saori

Tankery isn't just a set of rules, Tankery is what you make of it.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

Saori

Mako, you can drive?

Mako

I learned just now.

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?

Erika

You're facing Saunders High in the first match. Be sure that you don't fight so poorly that you end up damaging the name of Nishizumi style.

Saori

Hey, what's your problem?

Hana

I do believe that was quite rude, ma'am.

Erika

I find you participating in Tankery rude. You're just some no name school. There's an unspoken rule that everyone knows: schools that would just embarrass Tankery should stay out of the tournament.

Mako

It should be pretty embarrassing if one of those teams beat the veterans who all sat around in their ivory towers coming up with that rule.

Saori

If we ever end in a match against you, you can bet we won't loose.

Erika

Yeah, good luck with that.

Mako

That was totally ridiculous.

Yukari

I worked hard.

Saori

Can you do something like that?

Yukari

Pre-match reconnaissance is approved for all tournaments. Miss Nishizumi, I did this offline and the editing isn't done, but please, use it to form your plan.

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...

Dog team is out.

What!?

What!?

Why!?

Saori

We weren't talking on our radios, we were using our cells.
