Arcadia of My Youth (1982)
Cliff Harrington: Zoll
Quotes
-
[Zoll and a squad of Tokargan soldiers approach Harlock, Tochiro and Emeraldas]
Captain Harlock : You bastard, how rotten are you? Do you desire so much the degradation of being an Illumidus dog?
La Mîmé : Stop it, Harlock! Zoll didn't come here to arrest you. He came to steal the Emeraldas, they're trying to return to Tokarga...
Zoll : Mime, stop it! It's nothing to tell them about!
La Mîmé : My planet was wiped out by Illumidus and returned to its primal state. I watched from the refugee ship as it vanished, and that moment of sadness is something I have never forgotten, not even for a single day. Zoll and his men now have those same feelings. If Zoll and his men escape, Tokarga will of course suffer reprisal; even so, they can't sit by and watch their homeworld die in silence. If they are to be destroyed, they want to be destroyed with their own people on Tokarga. They came to steal this ship as an escape ship. It is a fate that will someday befall Earth too. Here and now, let Zoll and his men go, without interference.
Captain Harlock : [to Zoll] Those were heartless words I said. Forgive me.

Zoll : This is His Excellency Zeda, Supreme Commander of the Illumidus Earth Occupation Forces.
Captain Harlock : I am Harlock, captain of the Deathshadow. I have nothing more to say.
Murigson : Don't wisecrack, you whip cur!
[tries to punch Harlock, but his hand is seized in a deadlock]
Zêda : Let him go, Harlock.

[Tochiro and Harlock are both strapped to a machine]
Zoll : The device we have placed in you is for simultaneous two-person analysis of the memory regions of the genes in your cells. It can completely analyze 3000 years of memory in one minute.
Captain Harlock : So what?
Tochirô Ôyama : Is this some kind of torture?
Zoll : Listen to me. You two have some genes in common...
[points to a monitor]
Zoll : Notice how those lines intermingle from time to time? Those portions that throw off sparks are the ones.
Captain Harlock : What is this leading up to?
Zoll : Your memories, in fact your genes, all the way from your distant ancestors, both have parts that are absolutely identical.
Captain Harlock : You, and...?
Tochirô Ôyama : Me?
Zoll : I've been acquiring data from ages concerning your genes. Strange data, at that. You both share identical memories, based on a common experience. I'm going to play those memories back.
