Wolf's Rain (2003–2004)

Akio Suyama: Hige

Quotes 

• Hige : [talking to Kiba, who is being held in a cage]  Man, you really screwed up. I mean, I've seen one of us get hurt before, but never this badly. And you're caught, too.

  Kiba : I can get out of here whenever I feel like it.

  Hige : Uh-huh. So, then, why are you in there?

  Kiba : I just needed a place to rest for a while, that's all.

  Hige : I'm Hige. It's nice to meetcha.

  Kiba : So, why are you in here, anyways?

  Hige : No reason. It smelled like something interesting was going to happen, and I just followed my nose, you know? Besides, I've got nowhere else to go.

  Kiba : That's not your true form. Why do you hide yourself?

  Hige : So that I don't end up where you are. These people are terrified of us, so, you know, if we look like them, they pretty much leave us alone.

  Kiba : You're lying to yourself, just so you can live a miserable life and die a miserable death in this city?

  Hige : You gotta do what you can to survive. Keep looking like that, and you'll be back here in no time at all. It draws too much attention.

  Kiba : Have you give up your pride as a wolf?

  Hige : You're a strange one, all right. But having pride doesn't count for much if you're dead, you know?

• Hige : Come on, we're friends now, right?

  Kiba : Coming from you, that sounds kind of fishy.

• Darcia : Wolves . . . You have my gratitude, for it was you who awoke her.

  Hige : What?

  Kiba : Who the Hell are you?

  Darcia : The Flower Maiden is mine.

  Hige : The Flower Maiden? Is that . . . Cheza?

  Darcia : We'll meet in Paradise. If we meet again, that is.

• Hige : That hot dog must've fried your brain!

• Blue : Are you there, Hige?

  Hige : Yeah, I'm here.

  Blue : My vision is blurred. And I...

  Hige : There's no need to worry. I'm not going anywhere. We can stay together like this forever.

  [puts his hand on Blue's forehead, brushes her hair away to show blood] 

  Blue : [closes her eyes, sighs]  So warm.

• Hige : Hey, there you are. Cheza was taken by Darcia and Kiba went after him.

  Tsume : Don't speak!

  Hige : Can you do me a favor? Could you kill me with your fangs? Can you still not forgive me? Am I still a traitor?

  Tsume : No-one cares about that any more!

  Hige : Please... I'm suffering. Tsume.

  [Tsume bites into his neck] 

  Hige : Let's meet up again in Paradise.

• Hubb Lebowski : I thought that this sort of thing would be under your jurisdiction.

  Cher Degre : So, then, it's alive?

  Hubb Lebowski : Barely. I think it's only a matter of time before it goes.

  Cher Degre : That sounds like us.

  Hubb Lebowski : We're not over yet. We just need to keep trying.

  Cher Degre : I'm not so sure.

  Hubb Lebowski : [Hubb and Cher walk into the holding room to see Hige in front of Kiba's wolf form, who's held in a cage]  Hey, what are you doing? What department are you with?

  Hige : Oh, sorry. I was looking for cleaning supplies, and I, um, got lost.

  Hubb Lebowski : The cleaning crew, huh? Just go out that door . . .

  [Hubb points to an open door] 

  Hubb Lebowski : . . . and the supply closet is on your right.

  Hige : Oh, really? Thanks.

  [Hige exits the room through the open door] 

  Hubb Lebowski : So, do you think it's a wolf?

  Cher Degre : I don't know. For one thing, I've never seen one before. But, if it is a wolf, it may be related to Cheza's sudden reaction.

  Hubb Lebowski : Oh, please. Not Cheza again.

  Cher Degre : What's that supposed to mean?

  Hubb Lebowski : It's because of Cheza you and I broke-up.

  Cher Degre : Stop acting like an idiot, Hubb, and take this thing up to the lab.

  Hubb Lebowski : I'll have somebody do it later. Dogs and I don't really get along. Actually, I'm allergic to them.

  Cher Degre : This is the reason that you and I would never work.

  Hubb Lebowski : I don't know; maybe it is only a matter of time.

• Hige : Your wounds . . . Are they healed, yet?

  Kiba : Yeah. After all, tonight is a full moon.

  Hige : So, why'd you come to this crummy town, anyways?

  Kiba : I smelled something: The scent of a Lunar Flower. It was coming from this city.

  Hige : Yeah, I know. My nose can tell when a dogs takin' a dump ten kilometers away.

  Kiba : Yeah? That must really stink.

  Hige : It sure does!

  Kiba : So, why did you escape with me?

  Hige : I don't know. I just felt like it, I guess. Besides, you seem kinda interesting. So, what's next? Where are you headed?

  Kiba : To Paradise. There isn't any moonlight in this place.

  Hige : Paradise, huh? Sounds like fun.

  Kiba : My name is . . . Kiba.
