Morph: We actually didn't have to go buy lingerie. Once you lured me away from the rest of the team - and they went off to do whatever it was they wanted to do without me - you could have just changed my mind.
Sunfire: You... you knew I was doing that?
Morph: [transforms into a schoolboy in a dunce cap] Yeah. I may be a total idiot, but I'm not stupid. I was in the Avengers and I have a master's degree in computer engineering. You'd have to do a little better than "wanna see me in my underwear."

Marco: Yes, but can you decide to do nothing? That's a decision, too.
Cassie: Marco, you know, for a guy who's always joking around and being annoying, you're awfully smart.
Marco: Yeah, I know, but don't tell anyone. It would destroy my image.

Makoto: Captain Hazama!
Hazama: Lieutenant Makoto Nanaya? I could've sworn I ordered you to go to Ikaruga, or is my memory failing me? *laugh*
Makoto: I did go... and that's why I'm here. Captain Hazama... tell me, why are you— no, what is the Library trying to do? What was that "thing" doing in Ikaruga?!
Hazama: Ah, so you found "that". I see... you're actually somewhat competent. As your commanding officer, I must say how proud I am of you.
Makoto: "Found"? You might as well have erected signs, put out banners and charged admission... that thing was almost screaming for attention!
