- Mayoress: A surgeon operates with a scalpel which he takes good care to sterilize to prevent unnecessary infections. If he uses a *tank*, the patient tends to *die*!
- Red Commando: Give me the painting. You're a small time crook; you shouldn't try to play in the big leagues because you'll end up gettin' hurt.
- Buaku: I ain't a small timer, just a man-made *being* cursed with a man-made *brain*!
- Red Commando: You've got guts as well and I like that, only it's strength that counts in the end.
- Buaku: Suddenly now I feel weak and dizzy and very tired. It feels just the way it felt the last day, which was the first day of my existence with my presence in the hard world of men where I would never find acceptance.
- Leona: Hey, wait! Don't go to sleep! The bio-ball'll kill me if you don't take me to your meeting place!
- Buaku: So long ago, 80 years. I can't recall, and yet there's something still in me that remembers *something*.
- Leona: I don't understand what you're saying. What is it? You can't simply let me die. *Please*, don't fall asleep, you have to stay awake!
- Buaku: Long days of silent fluid peace in which seas of clear green water hold me. Greenpeace. Or perhaps I've just imagined it all.
- Leona: Aah! It's getting tighter! It's tighter! It's *tighter*!
- Buaku: Not sleeping, not waking, not knowing and not known, no joy, no pain, no earth, no sky, no darkness, no light, no word.
- Leona: I won't let you die, goddamn it.
- Buaku: And then came the last day, the first day...
- Red Commando: Listen here, apeface, the Tank Police ain't gettin' in my hair! That picture goes with me.
- Lt. Britain: [to Red Leader] The ape that knows he is one has attained true wisdom, thus sayeth the Lord.
- Chaplain: Right on!
- Lt. Britain: [yelling to Red Leader] I'll castrate you, asshole!
- Lt. Britain: Booohooo... curses... I can't stand it... I ain't been so humiliated in my whole friggin' life. Waaaaah! I'll kill him. I'll cut out his stinkin' guts and piss on 'em!
- Mohican: Great to be a young pair of lovers, eh, Specs?
- Mohican: [imitating Al and Leona's hands-behind flirty torso swaying] I went out for a meal with a 5-inch cockroach last week but I wouldn't pretend it was that much fun!
- Specs: [also imitating them] And when I eat in the Lab surrounded by urine samples, it makes me throw up.
- Chief Of Police: I resent that! It was you politicians who gave us "surgeons" those tanks in the first place. Besides, these days, tanks are about as effective as toothpicks.
- Mayoress: Toothpicks? Well, if tanks are no better than toothpicks, what would *you* consider is appropriate equipment for the police to use in preventing crime?
- Chief Of Police: I'm glad you asked me that. I wouldn't mind replacing my guns with tactical nuclear weapons.
- Mayoress: Nuclear weapons?
- Chief Of Police: Nuclear weapons can stop wars, as they had done; they should be able to stop criminals. Though I'm a pessimist, I don't think we'll ever get rid of crime completely.
- Mayoress: Chief, you cannot be serious!
- Chief Of Police: Deadly serious. It was people like you who gave us the tanks and told us to fight the bad guys. We can argue about whether the law that set us up was a good one or not, but the law's the law and now we're *here*. We're right at the sharp end of the fight against crime, and if you want law and order, I've only got one thing to say: if you want us to stop 'em, *give us more TANKS*!
- Chief Of Police: [in full rant mode] Don't you understand? This is waaar! And my Tank Police are at the front liiine!
- Al: [sighs] I wish I coulda done somethin' to try and save her.
- Chaplain: Take not this burden on thyself.
- Al: If it was the Lieutenant they'd taken as a hostage, I guess I could live with that...
- Lt. Britain: Gee, thanks...
- Al: ...but not Leona!
- Lt. Britain: Listen kid, I've been real patient, but now you'd better go!
- Chief Of Police: Back off! I'll tell you, if they *had* taken you instead, I wouldn't lose much sleep.
- Lt. Britain: What? You really mean it, Chief? Right then, I quit!
- [the squad cheers and, behind his back, wave signs reading "Get Out", "Getaway", "Go away", "No Return", and "Go Home", which disappear when he turns back]
- Lt. Britain: Okay, maybe I'll git, but I'm gonna take you bastards with me!
- Brenten: That clever dick doc, talkin' all that medical crap. How was I suppose to know what he was going on about?
- Megane: It's slightly simpler once you realise that all of us living under the bacterial cloud have, to some extent, been poisoned by it. And speaking medically, we're all pretty poor specimens.
- Brenten: I'm no specimen and I feel just fine. Are you saying that the quack was telling us that we're seriously sick? He stood there. Bragging. About how he only treats healthy people who don't need him in the first place. If doctors are only going to treat healthy people, then the police should go robbing banks!
- Brenten: [Brenten thinks for a moment] ... Let's go rob a bank. I've wanted to rob one for years but I've kept myself pure but tonight, the day has come!
- Chaplain: What are you doing under that heap of scrap, Lieutenant?
- Lt. Britain: He wants to know what I'm doing in this heap of scrap. *Taking a rest, naturally!*
- Lt. Britain: This some kinda new drug?
- Doctor: Nothing new about it. As a matter of fact, its a batch of urine.
- Leona Ozeki: But if there's a crime going on, we gotta go and help.
- Brenten: Now pin your ears back and listen to me. We get a crime of some kind every 36 seconds within the precincts of the city we patrol. My main job as tank police commander is to make sure it doesn't rise to 1 in every 35 seconds. Get it?
- Chief Of Police: Well, who's fool enough to play with a grenade?
- Chief Of Police, Lt. Britain: [simultaneously] I'll bet it was Leona Ozaki!
- Buaku: Cut it out! We ain't here to get dressed in antique fancy clothes and sit around on our asses, we're here to get "Innocent", right? So we ain't got any time to waste on amateur theatricals, and anyway your lines are really terrible.
- [first lines]
- Mayoress: Why in Hell does our Police Department have to carry enough firepower to wipe out the city's population five times over? The police are here to protect the people's rights and property, not to threaten them! When innocent lives are sacrificed in the name of crime prevention, the police are no better than the hoodlums they're fighting against.
- Chief Of Police: Madame Mayor, you should've said that to the Council years ago when they set up the Tank Police. It's worth remembering that the percentage of civilians killed or injured in tank-related incidents is a mere five percent of incidents related to traffic accidents or bacterial poisoning. What's more, the crime rate has dropped 20% since we started using tanks. I think the police should be commended.
- Mayoress: "A mere five percent"? And you're *proud* of that? That kind of attitude could cost us our jobs! I don't think you have any idea how easily the voters could kick us right out of office!
- Chief Of Police: I know that the voters are happy to see murderers and rapists get their asses shot off. Make up your mind: do you want give in to a few fairy pinkos, or keep little old ladies safe on the streets?
- Mayoress: You have a duty to everyone! And that includes rapists, murderers, *and* fairy pinkos!
- Chief Of Police: Don't give me the same crap you feed the press. The thing you really care about is getting re-elected! You can't cut out a cancer without spilling a little blood. Would you tell a surgeon to go ahead and operate, and then order him to stop while the patient - or, in our case, the city - dies slowly and painfully of a tumor taking over his gut?
- Mayoress: I am not ordering the surgery to stop!
- Chief Of Police: Sure you are! You can't take the heat in the kitchen!
- Mayoress: I'm simply ordering *you* to stop doing the operation with a blunt chainsaw!
- Chief Of Police: "Chainsaw"?
- Mayoress: A surgeon operates with a scalpel which he takes good care to sterilize to prevent unnecessary infection. If use uses a *tank*, the patient tends to *die*!
- Chief Of Police: I resent that! It was you politicians who gave us surgeons those tanks in the first place. Besides, these days, tanks are about as effective as toothpicks.
- Mayoress: "Toothpicks"? Well, if tanks are no better than toothpicks, what would *you* consider as appropriate equipment for the police to use in preventing crime?
- Chief Of Police: I'm glad you asked me that. I wouldn't mind replacing our guns with tactical nuclear weapons.
- Mayoress: [aghast] Nuclear weapons?
- Chief Of Police: Nuclear weapons can stop wars, as they have done; they should be able to stop criminals! Though I'm a pessimist; I don't think we'll ever get rid of crime completely.
- Mayoress: Chief, you cannot be serious!
- Chief Of Police: Deadly serious. It was people like *you* who gave us the tanks and told us to fight the bad guys. We can argue about whether the law that set us up was a good one or not, but the law's the law, and now we're *here*! We're right at the sharp end of the fight against crime, and if you want law and order, I've only got one thing to say: if you want us to stop them, *give us more TANKS*!
- Chief Of Police: [in full rant mode] Can't you understand? This is *waaar*! And my Tank Police are at the front *liiine*!
