Wolf's Rain (2003–2004)

Unshô Ishizuka: Quent Yaiden

Quotes 

• Toboe : [after the shootout with Darcia]  Old man... old man... I'm sorry. I...

  Quent Yaiden : I... was the one who shot you.

  Toboe : I... made a promise to Blue, that I would protect you. But, I failed. I'm sorry. I wanted to stay with you, like Blue, and protect you. It would have been nice if everybody could have gone to Paradise together.

  [lies on Quent's arm] 

  Toboe : Please, let me sleep here.

  Quent Yaiden : That was... I see... That was you... That was you.

  [hugs Toboe's body while he cries] 

  Blue : [when Hige and Blue arrive]  Old man... old man... old man.

  [as Quent looks up at her, his eyes fade; starts to sob] 

• Hubb Lebowski : Quent Yaiden . . . So, can you tell me what brings the sheriff of Kyrios to our humble city? That's some heavy artillery you have there, but I doubt that you came here just to hunt.

  Quent Yaiden : Where is it? The animal I killed?

  Hubb Lebowski : It's apparently dead. The body will be disposed of here.

  Quent Yaiden : That's impossible! There's not a chance in Hell that that thing is dead! Show it to me, and I'll believe you! Don't you understand?! That thing is a wolf!

  Hubb Lebowski : A wolf? You think it's a wolf?

  Quent Yaiden : It looks like a dog, but it's not! It's a wolf! You don't honestly think that we killed all of them, do you, Detective?!

  Hubb Lebowski : The last appearance of a wolf was over two hundred years ago. How do you think they survived this long without going unnoticed? The mountains and forests are all gone. There's no place for any wolves to hide anymore.

  Quent Yaiden : I'm telling you, they somehow cast a spell over us! They're all around us! Wolves do exist, and we have to kill them all!

• Quent Yaiden : Look at this.

  [Quent shows Hubb his hand, which Tsume cut open earlier] 

  Quent Yaiden : Pretty, ain't it? It's a souvenir from an angry wolf.

  Hubb Lebowski : You can't prove it was a wolf.

  Quent Yaiden : Well, there wern't any cats or ferrets around. There was only a young human. The beast turned into a little boy right in front of my eyes. It was just a little kid.

  Hubb Lebowski : Can you remember what the boys face looked like?

  Quent Yaiden : For some reason, my memory's a little fuzzy.

  Hubb Lebowski : Maybe I should come back another time.

  Quent Yaiden : It'll always be the same. But I'm not drunk yet tonight.

  Hubb Lebowski : I don't know why I ever thought I could come to you for advice.

  Quent Yaiden : You're obsessed with the wolves, huh? You're dying to know everything now. Isn't that right, Detective?

  Hubb Lebowski : That dog you shot ran away.

  Quent Yaiden : What a surprise.

  Hubb Lebowski : And you think it put some kind of spell on us to escape?

  Quent Yaiden : You got it.

  Hubb Lebowski : It just isn't possible.

  Quent Yaiden : These claw marks . . . and the fact that you're here should be proof enough. There are a lot more of 'em, you know. People you pass everyday in the market, the poor shlubs you sit next to in the bar . . . Any one of them could be wolves. I tell you now the words of "Red Moon." "From the great spirit was born the wolf, and man became it's messenger." In other words, the human race was created from wolves. So says the author of "The Book of the Moon."

  Hubb Lebowski : "Book of the Moon?"

  Quent Yaiden : I might as well say it: Instead of looking for wolves, you should probably start suspecting humans.

• Quent Yaiden : Always helps to have a friend around when you're crossing the mountains. You never know what you'll run into. Like bears - or wolves.

  Bartender : Wolves, huh? Now there's something I haven't heard for a long time. Not since my grandpa was alive. He said that when the world comes to an end, Paradise will finally be opened. The only problem is, only wolves will be able to find it. Who knows? Maybe the world is coming to an end right now.

  Quent Yaiden : Wolves are only servants of death! Don't you believe all that Pagan garbage!

  Bartender : Relax, old man. Wolves have been extinct for over two hundred years. It's just a children's fairy tale.

  Quent Yaiden : The thing about fairy tales is . . . there's always some truth in 'em.

• Quent Yaiden : Well, look who it is. Detective Dandy.
