"I'll tell you why?" "Because I'm a huge Dokkiri-man collector." "I'll do anything for this one." "It'll be too late if you tell me you want it back later." "Brother!" "Wow!" "wait!" "are you serious?" "but you're crazy if you do something like that." "They're really tough people to go up against...especially for a punk like you." "You're already dead." "I won't cause you any trouble." "Get out of my way." "I don't care if you die." "But you're not even trying to save yourself?" "I'll die anyway." "I have an organ that's bigger than my heart."
