Hiroki Shimowada: Toboe

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] 

• Toboe : Thanks a lot. For before.

  Leara : Huh?

  Toboe : For the sausages.

  Leara : Wha . . .

  Toboe : Remember that dog in the alley the other day? Well, it's mine.

  Leara : That beautiful dog is yours?

  Toboe : "That beautiful . . ." Um, yeah! Yeah, he's mine!

  Leara : But how did you know about it?

  Toboe : Um, from the lady at the store.

  Leara : What's it's name, anyways?

  Toboe : Uh, name? The name is Toboe.

  Leara : Toboe? What a weird name.

  Toboe : Yeah, I guess so.

  Leara : My name is Leara. What's yours?

  Toboe : I just told you. It's Toboe!

  Leara : I thought that was your dog's name.

  Toboe : Oh. Uh, well, we're a lot alike, so I decided to name him after myself.

  Leara : You sure are weird, all right.

• Toboe : Who the heck was that? And what's up with his dog?

  Tsume : I have no idea.

  Toboe : You're Tsume, right? Wow. This is the first time I've ever met another wolf. I've heard rumors about you from the crows. They say you make friends with Humans, and run waild with them! Heh, heh.

  Tsume : You heard wrong.

  Toboe : I'm Toboe. Thanks for the help back there. You know, I've been with Humans for my whole life, too.

  Tsume : Just get lost, okay? I'm getting pissed-off. And that only happens when I'm around idiots.

  Toboe : But . . . Can't I come with you?

  Tsume : No. You can't.

• Toboe : I never meant to kill anything. Granny, she . . . I was all alone at the entrance to the dome, and she was so nice. She said I was so little, my eyes had barely opened.

  [Toboe holds up the four white bracelets on his right fore-arm] 

  Toboe : She gave these to me, and we lived together ever since.

  Tsume : You mean she kept you as a pet. You were tamed, nothing more than an obedient dog.

  Toboe : I wasn't! I . . . I only . . . I wanted to protect her. But she still . . .

  Tsume : She still threw you out?

  Toboe : She still died. She died. I let her die.
