Baburugamu kuraishisu (1987) 5.1

Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You little idiot! If you die, what will Sylvie have died for? Largo: Dead, eh? Or rather, I imagine it would be more exact to say it has ceased functioning. It IS a machine after all. Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You bastard! [fires railgun] Largo: [catching the spike] Is this all your anger amounts to? Largo: Human beings... how vulgar. For the crime of injuring me, a god, I demand, as atonement, death! Lisa Vanette: Do you know about the Knight Sabers? Sylia Stingray: Uh-huh, I've heard about them. Lisa Vanette: Why do you suppose they fight boomers? I hear they take their clients for lots of money, but... I wonder... if they're supposed to be the good guys. Sylia Stingray: What do you think? Lisa Vanette: I don't know... But fighting boomers means taking on Genom, doesn't it? For a mere four people to take on such a large corporation is just... well... Genom makes a lot of things that make wars possible. But they also make boomers that are useful to society. And if the Knight Sabers actually defeated Genom, the world woudl come to a halt.

In which case, there'd be no place for we humans, right? For every good thing Genom does for the world, it also does something bad. I don't think the Knight Sabers could keep fighting if they only did nice, clean jobs. The development of boomers for military applications also led to boomers that were useful to society. I think the world would be thrown into chaos if this balance wasn't carefully mantained. Maybe the Knight Sabers are a part of that balance. To continue such activities would require a great deal of money, too... or so I would imagine.

Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You'd better work out, or you won't be able to fit in your suit. Nene Romanova: Ha! I contribute to the Knight Sabers with my good looks and amazing brain. I never want to be such an ape woman like you are. Besides, if you really are as hot as you say you are then how come I had to give you a speeding ticket? Leon McNichol: One of these days, I'll uncover the truth about you. Brian J. Mason: Be careful what you say, little puppy. Leon McNichol: Even a little puppy can nibble an sleazebag like you to death!
