For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.
His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. "By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive."

[sigh] So we all know the drill, Blade and Karen kiss in a romantic embrace even though they have very little in comm—[Blade and Karen plainly state needing to get back to work] Uhh, I don't think you know how this works. He's a dude, you're a chick, you have to end up together, even if you have no chemistry at all. It's, like, a law. [Blade asks Karen to work on an improved serum] Wow. Really? They don't get together? There is such a thing as a man and a woman working together in an action film and they don't have to hook up?

Junpei: I know I've run my mouth a lot, since the day we met... And yeah, maybe I called you "cutie" a couple of times, and you mighta thought I was making fun of you... But I'm totally serious when I tell you I'd trust you with my life. I'm... glad to know you. It's embarrassing to say it, but... that's really how I feel. We'll always be friends, right? I mean, even after this is all over?

Junpei: ...... O-Okay then... Um... Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad to hear you say so. But... I'm not sure if I'm ready for something like that yet... I mean, nothing personal. I think you're a great girl, and super cute... ... But... sorry. I can't really think about stuff like that just yet...
