Baccano!

Isaac Dinan:
We'll tin his hide... I'll use my trusty hundred guns! [Isaac clearly has no guns]

Isaac Dian:
Know where a real cowboy keeps his gun? His heart.

Ladd Russo:
[on Czeslaw] He sure underestimated me! My Murderous Gauge was turned to the max!

[facing the Lemures]

Ladd Russo:
The reason you guys were wearing such orchestra-style suits was to perform for me, right? To think you'd come to the roof especially for me! This must be love! I have embraced your enormous love, now it's your turn to embrace my love! I love you, SO DIE!

[about to be killed by Gustavo]

Luck Gandor:
Don't you think that's a bit random...?

Luck Gandor:
Look, there are powers in this world you clearly don't understand, pal.

Ladd Russo:
Depending on your request, whether I will laugh or get angry - that will decide your lifespan, boy.

Ladd Russo:
[to Czeslaw] Too bad. You were so close, but you couldn't figure out how to talk to me after all... I can't let a look like yours go unanswered. You're just so sure I won't do THIS! [shoots him in the face]

Ladd Russo:
[sees Czeslaw] Wasn't he just dead a minute ago...?

Ladd Russo:
[about Czeslaw] Did you see the way he was looking at me? It's like that smug face was daring me to blast it all to hell. He was so certain he wasn't gonna get killed by us. He was looking down his nose at ME, LADD RUSSO! I was overwhelmed with the most incredible urge to kill... But what really burns, what makes me wish he was alive so I could kill him again, was that goddamn look in his face, LIKE I JUST COULDN'T KILL HIM! [one of Ladd's hoods calls him]

Ladd Russo:
Hey, keep it down!

Ladd Russo:
[fighting Chane] I'm gonna kill ya, baby. Whether you wanna die or not!

Gustav St. Germain:
Why do we feel these rainbows are so fairytale-like? Have you ever thought about that?

Gustav St. Germain:
Depending on who you place in the same situation, the characteristics of said incident change kaleidoscopically. In other words, there is one incident; however, there are as many stories explaining it as there are people involved in it...

Gustav St. Germain:
[to Carol] It might be a good idea to start from within the ship Advenna Avis, which was crossing the Atlantic. It might also be a good idea to start with the tragic event that occurred on the transcontinental train Flying Pussyfoot, and was secretly swept under the rug. Regardless of all that, you have chosen November 1930 as the start of the story...

Isaac Dinan:
A train robbery is where you take a train to your destination, make your move, and take a train back, right?

Firo Prochainezo:
It's creepy when you smirk like that. What are you reading?

Luck Gandor:
[quoting Edgar Allan Poe] "Thy soul shall find itself alone, amid dark thoughts of the grey tombstone / Not one of all the crowd to pry, into thine hour of secrecy." I was scared to death of this poem when I was young. But it's different now, ever since the incident one year ago...

Miria Harvent:
Isaac, your wound disappeared without a trace! A pigeon might just appear next!

Luck Gandor:
Now tell me, who tried to ventilate me?

Jacuzzi Splot:
[to Nice] I might have cried a little too much up till now. So I've decided that the amount I cried counts towards you as well. I've cried your half. So even if bad things should happen now, don't cry.

Isaac Dinan:
The Rail Tracer eats bad children, right? The Rail Tracer must have realized after eating Czes that he is actually a good little boy, and he came back to return the parts he had eaten!

Claire Stanfield:
I won't die no matter what. That's what I believe, so stay silent and believe in me. I am a guy who will never die.

Luck Gandor:
[to Eve] Your brother killed some of my friends in a horrible way one year ago, right here. So I won't apologize.

Maiza Avaro:
The harshness of having to live for eternity...

Jacuzzi Splot:
The times when you want to cry are when you have to try your hardest. That's why I decided I'll cry in general. Then, when I have to shed tears for a time when I really want to cry, my tears would have run dry.

Ennis:
Could you please listen to this selfish request of mine? Please... don't forget about me.

Claire Stanfield:
You can throw your knife at me if you want, but you'll never hit me!

[in 2001, Isaac and Miria finally realize they are immortal]

Isaac Dinan:
LITTLE MAMA, LET'S CALL UP THE BOYS AND HAVE A PARTY!

Jacuzzi Splot:
I'VE GOT A GUN IN MY HEART!

Jacuzzi Splot:
I've decided... I'm just going to cry whenever I feel like crying. I'm going to let myself cry as much as I want now to get it out of the way. That way when I face something really tough, all of my tears would have dried up long ago.

Claire Stanfield:
This world is mine. I think this world may even just be a long, long dream I'm watching. You guys may just be illusions, and it can't be proven whether or not you really exist either. In other words, this world was created with me at the center. So what will happen if I die? I don't know. My imagination isn't very creative; I just can't imagine myself dying. In other words, there is no way this world can completely disappear. But if I die, then everyone will disappear. I am the only one in this world who won't disappear. The rest are just people I see as if in a dream.

Claire Stanfield:
[fighting Ladd] All I have to do is think something, and it becomes true.

Ladd Russo:
[fighting Claire] Okay, all mighty ruler of this world, just how is it you're planning to kill me, huh? Maybe I should just go ahead and show you that this world works differently than you think it does. I'm gonna kill you, and then after I'll dance a jig around your dead corpse because YOU won't exist in MY world anymore!

[Ladd and Lua tumble in the air]

Ladd Russo:
Just let this moment be what it is. I wish I could kill you right now and forever. [grins at her; a water tower comes up... ]

Graham Specter:
Oh, life is fun! Try sayin' that ten times fast ten thousand times a minute every day for the rest of your life and it'll screw with your head so bad that all problems will disappear like MAGIC! Okay okay okay, I've gotten past the sadness and as of now I'm evolving to a HIGHER STAAAATE! Right? Tell me you all think so! Life is a magnificent beast, and it excites me!

Graham Specter:
So explain to me why a gang of criminals is comin' and goin' at this place. Burglary? It's got to be burglary... DAMN! Okay, before they get ahead of us we've gotta start dismantling houses. I want you to carry out their safes, bring them here and then start takin' them apaaart apart apartapartapart... DAMN! I'm startin' to get wound up again! TRANSCENDENTALLY HOPELESSLY WOUND UP!

Graham Specter:
Let me show you! I REALLY don't like you! Since I don't, I'll CLOBBER you! I'm gonna beat you as much as I want to, you hear me? I'm gonna hurt you OVER AND OVER AGAIN! What's wrong with that, huh? Tell me! You can't, can you? You should be grateful! Thanks to my unbelievable attack, you don't have to offer any more of your pathetic EXCUSES!

Ladd Russo:
I'll try to listen to your story before I put ya to bed, but I ain't gonna wait all night for it. So get to talkin' quick.

Ladd Russo:
[laughs] I'm not gonna kill you easy! You're lucky enough to be killed by me at all! You should be grateful! PEOPLE SHOULD ENJOY GETTING KILLED BY ME!

[after taking a blow from Graham's wrench]

Ladd Russo:
[absolute calm] Did you really think you could do anything you wanted to me with this little toy? Even if you could do something, you couldn't do it against me, you filthy little punk!

Claire Stanfield:
It's begun. It's too late now. There's no going back. I have become the Rail Tracer!

Graham Specter:
Tedium is such a crime. It takes the limited amount of time that is given to man, and rather than spending it in indolence or drowning it in pleasure it just sits there sucking, eating it up. I can't put up with that, tedium is a crime! Death to tedium! Die!

[Chane confronts Claire and holds a knife to his chest]

Claire Stanfield:
It's been a while. You still planning to kill me? To be honest, I would completely understand if you were. I just thought it would be appropriate for me to go ahead and declare my love for you first. I'm a little afraid that I wasn't able to properly convey my feelings for you on top of that train, so I guess I'll just come out and say it. As perplexing as it is, it appears I've fallen in love with you, Chane. Sorry, that's not true. There's actually nothing perplexing about it. Eh, I'm really not any good at expressing myself in fancy words, so I'll just make it simple: I love you. Let's get married. [a shocked Chane keeps the knife on him]

Claire Stanfield:
You're not sure? That's all right. I promise you there's no way I will destroy this world you've come to believe in. Your world is really not that fragile. No world can be destroyed just because someone else enters into it. It just gets bigger, that's all! And if your world is ever, in the slightest way, threatened, I will protect it. I bet you wouldn't ordinarily believe anyone who talks like me. But then, I'm not ordinary.

Graham Specter:
[to Chane] Sorry about this, young lady, but not being able to verbalize might be a lucky break for you in a way. People can waste an awful lot of energy. By putting sadness into words. Or maybe joy into words. And then of course, there's putting anger into words. And the words can double when it comes to fear or pain. In that sense, being so afraid that you can't find any words may save your life. Being unable to speak in extreme stress in a body that is obligated to control energy consumption is an act of, OH, I don't know, maybe, self defense? Oh boy, I went and said a thing of actual intelligence there. Time to show me some love, boys!

Graham Specter:
[fighting Chane] Uh-oh! I thought you were an ordinary young lady, but I don't anymore. Isn't that a little large and bulky for a girl looking to protect herself? Oh well, that's okay. You surprised me a little and being surprised is a good thing for me, for everyone really. Being surprised reminds people that whatever lies ahead of them in life is for the most part unpredictable darkness! [attacks Chane, her knife is caught in his wrench]

Graham Specter:
Another surprise! I have this feeling that you're not Eve Genoard. And forgive me, but you don't move your body like any other amateur. And I'm actually intrigued, however, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't interrupt me while I'm speaking. [Chane stares at him]

Graham Specter:
[laughs] You're amazing! A woman that goes beyond woman, I'm starting to get excited! As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me you were a Martian right now. So hurry up and grow eight arms why don't ya? If it turns out you're not human that just means you'll be more fun to break! [they break their lock, Graham knocks her down in mid-air]

Graham Specter:
Oh yeah, I'm really starting to enjoy this! It is truly, truly a pleasure. I think you should be my new best buddy. We could write an incredible story. But if not, just to be clear about it, I have to hurt you.

Graham Specter:
[challenged by Claire] How dare you suggest such a thing! There is only one other person who has ever dared to rival my certainty and that... is BOSS LADD! The absolute perfection of Boss Ladd was unwavering. For you to challenge that is far beyond your pathetic pale. Unless I knock your superiority down beneath the feet of Boss Ladd my dawn will never break! Don't you get it, I shall not see the Sun! It will remain night forever!

Graham Specter:
Let me tell you an incomprehensible story! What is it for the actions of men to be incomprehensible? It would seem to me that if it can't be comprehended one should not even bother trying. It is useless to even think about it, I think. That said, I don't know exactly what's going on but may we continue fighting please?

Claire Stanfield:
[fighting Graham] I don't care what your little brain thinks! It's impossible for you to beat me!

Gustav St. Germain:
Cast aside the illusion that there is a beginning and end to the story. The story has no beginning. And it has no end. All there is, is a performance of people connecting, living, influencing each other, and departing.

Isaac Dian:
Ever since we started robbing a year ago, from San Francisco to New Jersey, we've been to 87 places and seen lots of things!

Isaac Dian:
Has there ever been a time I've exposed you to any danger?

Miria Harvent:
About 87 times?

Isaac Dian:
There, look! It hasn't even been a hundred times yet!

Miria Harvent:
That's true! Amazing!

Isaac Dinan:
Let's buy a big house! And create a pool there... and swim from morning to evening!

Miria Harvent:
But it's cold in the evening!

Isaac Dinan:
That's all right, if we add ten stoves the pool will heat up!

Miria Harvent:
Amazing, amazing! Even Arab kings don't add that many to their pools!

Isaac Dinan:
And let's put a railroad in our garden! We can ride from our home to the gate by train each day!

Ladd Russo:
[pointing a gun] Hey Uncle, there's a special type of people I especially like to kill, unrelated to whether they're strong or weak... The ones I kill, the ones I have fun in killing, are those who feel completely safe. You know, thinking they are in a completely safe place, not thinking in the least that they might die the next moment. People like that... in other words, Uncle, people like you!

Ladd Russo:
[listening, getting excited] It's guns! I love guns!... Machine guns? That's even better! This could be fun! Sounds like death, and danger! Daaanger, daaaaanger... What's happening in the dining car? Is there blood? Who's killing who? Where did they get shot? I have to see! Things are really starting to get EXCIIITING! Yes! Yes yes yes! YES YES YES YES YES!

Ladd Russo:
C'mon, put up ya dukes! You think you're Pete Hammond? Haha, more like Jack Dempsey! Or more like Jack Johnson! You got no moxie! You got no technique!... Do you even know any of these boxers I'm talking about? Any red-blooded American would have to know what I'm talking about, right? You don't? Oh, you don't? I'll make you pay for not knowing them! Of course, even if you did know 'em, you'd STILL HAVE TO PAY!

Ladd Russo:
I just know you are all my newest enemies... and you have really nice guns. You people are all the same. You think you're so special! "Oh yeah, with all of our wonderful guns on this pathetic train, there's no way anyone can stop us! We are invincible and unbeatable! We are so strong with all of our men and our guns!" [laughs]

Ladd Russo:
You are my absolute favorite people to kill! You are so beautifully amazed when you die! Especially when I squish your brains, between my fingers, LIKE A FREAKING SAUSAGE!

Isaac Dinan:
[to Miria] As long as we're together I could be a king or a queen - I could even be a joker!

[dub]

Ladd Russo:
Now, dear Uncle, there's a certain person that I just love to kill. It doesn't even matter whether they're weak or strong. The people I live to kill, that really get me jazzed... never see it coming. Never. They're in some happy place where they're sure nothing can get them. Dying is the furthest thing from their minds. Maybe they're thinkin' about what they're gonna have for dinner. Just like you were. Right before I walked in.

[at the hat store]

Maiza Avaro:
Welcome to the Martillo family. The Camorra is a mafia-like criminal organization, or secret society, in the region of Campania and the city of Naples in Italy.

Firo Prochainezo:
Mr. Maiza, aren't you a day early?

Maiza Avaro:
The ceremony has already started, Firo.

[Ladd and Lua dance]

Ladd Russo:
My dream is to kill everyone who wants to live more than you in the night, and in the end, I'm going to kill you thoroughly. Betting my life on it!

Lua Klein:
I don't mind if you kill me here and now though, Ladd.

Ladd Russo:
What are you saying? No no no, the night is still overflowing with lots and lots and lots of people I have to kill! It'll be a long, long, long while before I get to killing you!

Ladd Russo:
Thank you! F*** you! A villain has arrived!

Claire Stanfield:
Your ticket, please!

Ladd Russo:
Why? Is there anything in it for us? If you were a woman, I could expect a kiss or so, but you're a guy! On the contrary, you could just die there. I mean, just die. It is your destiny to die here!

Isaac Dinan:
[to Jacuzzi] Dude, wipe your tears and come sit with us! Let's eat some Chinese food together! It's all you can eat!

[Jacuzzi discovers mutilated corpses in the conductor's car]

Jacuzzi Splot:
[on the Rail Tracer] It's too late. It's... it's already taken us over!

Claire Stanfield:
It doesn't matter who I am. You can just think of me as the talking air.

Claire Stanfield:
So what if I'd spare him? In my mind it's the certainty in myself that I possess which allows me to have that kind of mercy or compassion. There's no wavering on that point. It's fixed like the stars. The fact is I'm never gonna be killed! So remember this: mercy and compassion are virtues that only the strong are privileged to possess. And I am strong.

Claire Stanfield:
So remember this: Mercy and compassion are virtues that only the strong are privileged to possess. And I am strong.
