I mean, this is THE quote, come on. A thread about quotes without the manly picnic? You all still have much to learn.Kenji: "This is a manly picnic. No glasses. No napkins. Whiskey only. The beverage of true men."
(Act 1 - The Deep End)
Hisao: "Yes, I should have known. Maybe that's why they put that microchip on me the next day."
Kenji: "So... the rumors were true."
(Shizune's Act 4 - The Summit)
This quote, specifically, made me shed manly tears. A worthy opponent to Lilly's ending!.. ok, not really.Hisao (narrating): Saturday. My second most favorite day of the week.
This is almost entirely due to the fact that it is the day with the second least amount of school, with class ending at the beginning of lunch.
I open my door confidently, myself being more than confident of being able to get enjoyment out of the fine weather and shorter class lenght.
I confidently stride down the hallway and down the stairs to the lobby of the male dorms.
I confidently look behind me to see whose steps are approaching.
I... lose my confidence in this day being enjoyable.
Kenji: "Hey man. Sup?"
(Lilly's Act 2 - A Pound Sterling)
If I said this quote defines Emi, I'd probably not be too far off from the truth. In fact, she's probably referring to the implications of the quote when, near the end of her storyline, she fights with Hisao and says, "do you have any idea of what I went through?" or something around those words, don't you think?Emi: "Keep moving! If you're alive, you can keep moving, dammit!"
(Emi's Act 2 - Second Time's the Worst)
I was really disappointed to see that Shizune's route only has a single choice. Otherwise, this would probably be as determinating as an "advice" on what to choose as Mutou's piece of advice in Emi's route! We're all scientists here, after all <_<. At any rate, if you extract only what Shizune said from the quote, you really get something close to a definition of Shizune's ideas, too. I really like how pieces of dialogue that are supposed to be almost smalltalk in this game actually hold nice meanings, just like the whole "keep moving" deal. "Attention to detail" is an understatement for KS.Shizune (speaking thru Misha): "If you value something, you fight. Struggle is proof of precs- preciousness? I think so, at least. Or~! You concede immediately~! Since it's so precious that it stops your thinking. The first is a passionate love. The second is a gentle love."
(Shizune's Act 2 - Advanced Game Theory)
I don't think I really need to say much here. Iknohowyafeelbro. Well, except for the scene's title xD.Emi: "Stay with me? Please?"
(...)
Hisao (narrating): No, she means exactly what she said. "Stay with me". Not "tonight" or "forever", because we both know there's no such thing as forever.
There's no time limit to the request, there's just the request.
(Emi's Act 4 - Hooray for Socks)
Tearjerker². And no odd scene titles to break the mood, either.Hisao (narrating): Title: Present
"Present" is a fleeting and vague concept at best.
The moment between the past and the future?
That doesn't really mean anything.
Thinking too much about things that don't make sense is a waste of time.
That's why living through the present is alwaysthe best option.
Besides, for us who can't foresee the future and who forget about the past too easily, present is really the only proof of our existence.
Even though existence will go on even if you forget about it for a while, it's good to seize the day at least every once in a while.
That way... you can confirm that you are, in fact...
...alive.
(Rin's Act 4 - Proof of Existence)
Ah yes, that was a good one, and the look Akira gave Hisao was damning, lolHoneymuffin wrote:My favourite quote is in Lilly's path, when Akira mentions Hisao being lucky for seeing both her sister and Hanako in their pajamas.
"Hanako: If... It's Hisao... I don't mind...
Ah, this could be bad. I know Hanako's altogether too innocent to bother reading too much into such a thing, but the expression Akira directs at me is positively stormy."
