"Isn't this a smooth ride, ma'am?" "Yes, this is a wonderful piece of machinery!" "It would be dreamy if it could only go a little faster." "Give me a break..." "I'm doing the max!" "My goodness, ma'am!" "This car can talk!" "You're just hearing things." "Oh, that's okay then." "These girls are so selfish." "You're the one who wrecked our car." "You're not getting out of this." "Are we there yet?" "ARE WE THERE YET?" " It's The Roderick Thieves!" " Who are the girls?" " Their captives!" " They make me sick!" "Bring us the best booze in the house!" "C-Coming right up, sir!" "Bang!" "Isn't this fun?" "Hey, was he there when we came in?" "Beats me." "You were looking at him, weren't you?" "!" "You were looking at that guy there, weren't you?" "!" "Is he better than me?" "!" "Is he so much better than me?" "!" "Lay off, Nagi." "But, Vice-Chief..." "You don't stand a chance against him." "I get you." "He's almost horrifyingly handsome." "But you're too cruel." "These girls just gave up everything they had last night." "Their families, their lovers their entire past." "What's the point of reminding them of what they lost?" "Now we'll have to help them forget again." "Playing cool, are you?" "You've got rocks, mister!" "Say something, you show-off!" "May I have another fork?" "Don't jerk me around!" "Don't be hasty, now." "I intend to obliterate every last trace of mankind eventually so why must you rush the inevitable?" "Do you have a screw loose?" "What're you talking about?" "You're making no sense." "Never mind." "What?" "!" "You can die first." "What...?" "!" "W-What did you do to me?" "!" "Like I said, you can die first." "Make it stop!" "Nagi!" " Hey!" " What happened?" " You son of a..." " What'd you shoot him for?" "!" "W-Why?" " Hey, stop it!" " Don't point that at me!" "Why, you..." "Goddamnit..." "Y-You bastard!" " W-What's going on?" "!" " I can't control myself!" "H-Hey!" "Stop that!" "H-Hey!" "You've been through a lot." "But now you know." "Now you know just how painful it is to live." "The end is near." "I advise you to make good use of the time you have left." "That's unusual..." "I don't normally waste my time on vermin." "It's because you look the way you do...  ... Vash the Stampede." "Your very existence seems to cause me a measure of irritation." "We're finally here." "Are you all right, Mr. Vash?" "Do you think you have the right to ask?" "!" "I'm alive again!" "Well, I think I'll have a drink somewhere to perk myself up!" "Honestly..." "Still, this certainly is a quiet city, ma'am." "Yes, you said it." "Oh!" "Here's one!" "I'm going in here!" "Afternoon!" "What's wrong?" "Uh, nothing!" "Nothing at all!" "Who?" "Who did this?" "There are a lot of you." "Are you moving in?" "I find it hard to believe Johnson was killed by a fool like you." "What kind of trick did you pull?" "You humans are so..." "Shut it." "The Rodericks are bound by bonds stronger than family." "We will avenge our brethren, no matter who the fool is." "That's our style." "This is goodbye, lady-killer." "What?" "!" "l-I'm not doing it, Commander!" "What are you doing, man?" "!" "Let go of me!" "My hands are moving all by themselves!" " Cut the crap!" " It's not me, honest!" "Such fragile bonds." "You have a point." "It isn't nice to hog." "Hey, you!" "Who the hell are you talking to?" "!" "But only half." "I only want you to kill half of them." "Don't jerk us around!" "What's happening?" "!" "Is it a rival gang?" "!" "What's going on?" "!" "Let go of me, you..." "What are you waiting for?" "!" "Launch a counteroffensive!" "Why do you think I spared half of you?" "My reason is a perfectly rational one." "This way, you can see to the bodies of your friends." "If you are indeed closer than family, you must give them a proper burial." "However... this is not an act of mercy." "I'm doing this to teach you the pain of living." "Good work." "Gray the Ninelives." "Dominique the Cyclops." "Zazie the Beast." "Leonof the Puppetmaster." "Hoppered the Gauntlet." "Rai-Dei the Blade." "E. G. Mine." "Caine the Longshot." "And Midvalley the Hornfreak." "We are all here, sir." "Chapel appears to be absent." "He seems to be as sloppy as rumors claim." "Oh, well." "Your target is very near." "Do you plan to send us all against this target?" "Hardly!" "My opinion of you is a little higher than that." "Isn't that right, Dominique?" "Of course, I'm all you need for the job Mister Legato." "I need to ask you something!" "Open the door!" "Damn!" "Wait, what's wrong?" "Wait, please!" "Tell me who did this!" "Was it Legato?" "Was it a man in a white coat?" "!" "OW!" "It's your own fault for trying to force your way into a private residence." "I'm sure of it." "He's in this town." "But where?" "Where?" "!" "You're awfully quiet." "Does it hurt that much?" "Why, that..." "Mr. Vash, wait!" "What's the matter with you?" "What's he up to this time?" "!" "We're being left behind!" "But he was so tired a moment ago..." " Shall I shoot him?" "!" " Put that down." "Corpses!" "You're naive." "If I was so inclined I could have killed you three times." "You like to drop in out of nowhere and say things to stir people up." "Who are you?" "One of the Gung-Ho Guns." "Are you with Legato?" "You can think of it that way." "I am the second Gung-Ho Gun, Dominique the Cyclops." "Did you do this?" "That's right." "I merely took out some of the trash who use people like things in order to line their own pockets." "Call it spring-cleaning." "Well?" "Are you relieved?" "That's not the point." "The decision of who should and shouldn't live isn't yours to make!" "I'll hit you!" "By the way, if I was so inclined during this little conversation I could have groped you five times." "So, what do we do now?" "Fight?" "Of course." "You're the one who upped the ante." "I'm not going to fold while the cards are still facing down." "Don't." "I don't want to hurt you." "Such optimism." "It's easy to see why your fighting is so simplistic." "This is the last day you'll be saved by a simple quick draw." "Checkmate." "That's cute." "What the hell are you?" "!" "That wasn't humanly possible!" "You're unpredictable." "I like unpredictable men." "Me, unpredictable?" "!" "I'm not the one teleporting all over the damned place!" "I compliment you upon countering my attack twice." "But how long can you last?" "Go ahead and shoot me whenever you have the chance." "That's not an empty boast." "But now I know she has the card of maneuverability." "I have to take her down." "Look." "Look at her..." "Look hard!" "She's going to move." "Don't you dare miss it!" "You're very confident." "But I don't think it will work." "I told you, you can't beat me, no matter how fast you are." "See?" "I can't follow her!" "You're very sloppy." "You made me miss three times." "Sloppy?" "You're the one who missed!" "I'm using all of my senses...  ... yet when she moves,  it's as though she vanishes." "How can that be?" "How can she move that fast?" "When she moved..." "When she moved, she..." "Could it be?" "!" "Have you had enough rest?" "I would like to end the show soon." "Have you given up, or are you trying a martial art?" "No!" "It's not possible." "It's not possible!" "How?" "How?" "!" "Sensory paralysis induced by hypnotic effects." "That's the card you have." "The Demon's Eye should effect all five senses whether your eyes are open or closed." "So why?" "Do you mean to tell me you escaped the Demon's Eye...  ...by forcing your concentration on pain?" "Don't play with me." "No mortal could do that!" "I win." "Don't clean away people clean the house of the man you love." "Like mine, for example." "Just kidding!" "Huh?" "Mr. Vash?" "!" "What are you doing to this poor, defenseless woman, you animal?" "!" "Didn't you notice anything at all?" "!" " Are you all right?" "!" " That goes for you, too!" "This isn't over,  Vash the Stampede." "It would please me if you wore a dress the next time." " Oh?" " She disappeared!" "Mr. Vash?" "!" "I thought I was dead." "I can't believe he saw through the Demon's Eye!" "I can't believe I was beaten by that featherbrain of a man!" "Mr. Vash, I want an explanation of exactly what went on here." "Mr. Vash?" "It's time to decide!" "This is as far as we can travel together." "Why?" "It's about to get serious." "I'm afraid I can't do that." "We have a job to do!" "Your job or your life which is more important?" "I won't say why." "If I did, you would be drawn into it." "Well, it's been fun!" "But this is it." "Stay back!" "Was this all a farce to get me riled?" "If so, I'll turn the tables." "Legato, this time it's my turn to hunt you." "I'll find you,  whatever it takes."
