The Colonel:
It's a soldier's duty. You wouldn't understand.
Kei:
Amoebas don't build houses and bridges, they only eat.
Kei:
Amoebas don't make motorcycles and atomic bombs!
Tetsuo:
Let's run away somewhere.
Kaori:
Where would we go?
Tetsuo:
Anywhere. Just the farther the better.
Kaneda:
This has GOT to be a trap.
Kei:
Then go back.
Kaneda:
No. I just have to find how MUCH of it is a trap.
Yamagata:
Heeey! Don't you know that stuff'll stunt your growth!
Bartender:
Hey, why don't you beat it, punk! You'll scare the customers!
Yamagata:
Then I wont tell him what's in it, huh?
Tetsuo:
[
shouting] I'm not Akira!
Tetsuo:
I... am Tetsuo.
Takashi:
It was too difficult for Tetsuo... of course, too difficult for us. And for Akira
Masaru:
We just didn't have the power.
Kiyoko:
But someday we will be...
Masaru:
Because we have already begun.
Kiyoko:
The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves.
The Colonel:
It is not a soldier's duty to make policy. I follow my orders.
Tetsuo:
Heh, heh... what's happened to me? I must be dreaming. I feel like I can take out the world.
Yamagata:
You got a bad attitude, pops. Lighten up before your arteries harden.
Kaneda:
He's not your friend, he's ours! If somebody's gonna kill him, it should be us!
Policeman:
I'm not that much older than you, so don't call me pops or you'll find yoursef polishin' my boots with your tongue!
Kaneda:
Tetsuuuo!
Tetsuo:
Kanedaaa!
Tetsuo:
Twin ceramic rotor drives on each wheel! And these look like computer controlled anti-lock brakes! Wow, 200 horses at 12,000 rpm!
Tetsuo:
What did you people do to my head?
Colonel:
Will you return with us?
Tetsuo:
LIKE HELL!
Colonel Shikishima:
Look at what they abandoned in their panic, they were afraid! They were too scared, so they hid it away from the public. They forgot all shame and honor, cast off the civilization and science we had created, and shut the lid of the Pandora's Box they themselves had opened.
Kaneda:
Now you're king of the mountain, but it's all garbage!
Tetsuo:
There's no use in hiding.
Tetsuo:
[
after killing a clown] How'd ya like that?
Yamagata:
Huh? Where is Kaneda? Answer me!
Tetsuo:
He's probably dead.
Tetsuo:
A fish out of water dies, huh.
Kaneda:
What's wrong? Have some trouble?
Tetsuo:
Yeah. But I already took care of it. And you're too late, you missed the show.
Kaneda:
Tetsuo, you had me worried again. I figured you'd be standing here sobbing like a little baby.
Tetsuo:
Kaneda, you've always been a pain in the ass, y'know. You've been telling me what to do since we were kids. You always treat me like a kid. You always show up and start bossing me around, and don't you deny it!
Kaneda:
And now you're a boss, too... of this pile of rubble.
Tetsuo:
KANEDA!
Kaneda:
That's Mr. Kaneda to you, punk!
Tetsuo:
DIE!
Kaneda:
[
Tetsuo is brutally beating a member of the Clown gang] You're gonna kill him, Tetsuo. You want that?
Tetsuo:
I want him more than dead, I'll split his freaking head open!
Kaneda:
Just knock it off now! This all happened because you took my bike for a spin. Enough already.
Tetsuo:
Shut up! Don't order me around!
Kaneda:
We were just worried.
Tetsuo:
Why do you always have to try and save me? I could handle it on my own. Yeah, I admit I've gotten beaten before, but I won't always be on the receiving end, you hear that? You understand?
Kaori:
Tetsuo, I...
Tetsuo:
[
crying] Shut up... go away!
Tetsuo:
Kaneda? What are you doing in here?
Kaneda:
Tetsuo! Are you okay? I'm here for the rescue! Hurry up! What are you? Stupid? If we don't get outta here, those...
[
several army soldiers enter the room]
Soldier:
There he is! Capture him!
Tetsuo:
You keep away!
[
Tetsuo uses his telekinetic powers to forcibly blast the soldiers away by lifting the floor, which also throws Kaneda hurtfully]
Kei:
Kaneda!
Tetsuo:
Oh, that's right! I forgot you were there. There, do you see, Kaneda? I won't be needing you to come to the rescue me ever again, okay? From now on, I'll be in charge of the heroics. So, if you need any saving, just ask, Kanny.
Kaneda:
Damn it, Tetsuo! Who the hell do you think you're talking to, ya moron?
Tetsuo:
Hah! You don't like what you're hearing, do ya? Makes you angry? So what are you gonna do now? Well, Kaneda? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?
Kai:
Something seemed strange the second I saw his face. It's odd. He was wearing what looked like a white hospital gown. He acted like a different person. Yamagata asked him if he was really Tetsuo or if he was someone else.
Kai:
What're you gonna do?
Kaneda:
I'm gonna send Yamagata his wheels.
Kaneda:
[
when he claims to Ryu he knows who the new subject is] Come on... don't they say the only foolish questions are unasked ones?
[
Ryu walks up to him with a mischievous look on his face]
Kaneda:
They don't?
Kaneda:
[
the light that remains from the explosion of Neo-Tokyo falls into Kaneda's hands] Tetsuo...
Kei:
Kaneda, what is it?
Kaneda:
Thank You.
Kei:
Huh?
Kaneda:
You called for me, didn't you? And I heard you.
Yamagata:
What the hell are you talking about; you look like a damn crack head?
Yamagata:
Talk sense, what happened here; did you notice that the owner's dead?
The Colonel:
Enough! Open up your eyes and look at the big picture; You're all puppets of corrupt politicians and capitalists. Don't you understand, it's utterly pointless to fight each other.
Tetsuo Shima:
[
after falling off his motorcycle] Oh fuck!
