Gintama
- Kagura: What, so we're not going by car? Gin-chan?
- Gintoki Sakata: And where would we get money for that?
- Kagura: Aw, but I've been up all night making this tape!
- [produces a cassette tape with a label, "My Best"]
- Gintoki Sakata: Just how old are you? You're not a thirty-year-old remembering your first date!
- Tae Shimura: I guess we have no choice.
- [looks at the street and sees a car approaching in the distance]
- Tae Shimura: [instructs Gintoki, Shinpachi, Hasegawa and Sadaharu] First of all, put your hands behind your heads. Now shrink your bellies. Lean forward to emphasize your chest, as if you were in front of a mirror.
- [they do so]
- Tae Shimura: Now get to work, idiots!
- [kicks all of them into the car's path to slow it down and stop]
- Gintoki Sakata: So you said that jokingly, while you were drunk? Look, old man, this is about my living. I'm very serious when it comes to that. A man should be responsible, even when joking. A man should keep his promises.
- Beach House Man: Wait! Calm down! I'll pay! I've got the money here!
- Kagura: [eats his food] Don't lie. If you can't fry your yakisoba properly, then you might not have enough money to pay us. Your life must be pretty messed up, uh? Say it with me: "messed up"! Yeah, messed up!
- Beach House Man: Hey! Who told you to eat my merchandise?
- Taizo Hasegawa: You can say there's two kinds of things men do to feel better: one is looking at someone who's feeling worse to make sure he's alright, the other is looking at something much bigger to see his problems are meaningless. I belong to the second kind. Whenever I find myself in hard times, I look at the sea to remember how meaningless I am. It was also looking at the sea that I met my wife, Hatsu. Do you understand? The sea is both book and teacher to me. Everybody has a place closer to their hearts. Even if I keep changing jobs, my heart will stay here. Work is just a little something that helps me live through the days. But it's got nothing to do with money. That's what I was born for. Can you guys understand this feeling?
- Gintoki Sakata: We're not going just to have fun! We're going to fight! Even if the waves crash upon us, we've got to win! What's up with you? You wanna go for a picnic? We need at least 300 yen to have a snack, and right now we don't have 300 yen! You hear me?
- Kagura: Captain! We can buy 400 corn cobs with that!
- Taizo Hasegawa: Eh? Really? Can you really eat that much?
- Shinpachi Shimura: Kagura-chan, stop screwing up math!
- Gintoki Sakata: Geez, after you looked so high and mighty as if you had a great idea, all you could think about was hitch a ride?
- Kagura: I know! I'll make the cars stop with a sexy wink!
- Taizo Hasegawa: All right! I'll use my beautiful thighs to make them stop!
- [pulls up his pants]
- Shinpachi Shimura: You'd better can it, Hasegawa-san. Even if any car stopped, it wouldn't stop to see that.
- Gintoki Sakata: Dammit, what an useless car.
- Kagura: Damn right. To think it couldn't even play a cassette! Useless! Useless!
- Shinpachi Shimura: I don't think that was the problem...
- Tae Shimura: Good God, after all the work I had to get us a ride, you had to go and mess it all up...
- Gintoki Sakata: She talks as if she had stopped that car all by herself.
