Collection of Astro Boy quotes

[Astro Forever]

In Outer Spaceport R45...

English version:
Mr. Tennyson: "Matthew, I'm sorry for not telling you before. I guess I can't even hid it from you anymore. Please understand. You're not a human. You're a robot."

Japanese version:
Mr. Tsukioka: "Tsukio, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Now I have to tell you. Don't be surprised. You are not a human. You are a robot."

"Don't be surprised"?!? :wacko:

[Astro Forever]

From the Japanese version of The Death Balloon, while Inspector Gumshoe is in the helicopter, chasing a death ballon:

Gumshoe (to the pilot): "Fire! Shoot it down!"
Pilot misses the balloon.
Gumshoe: "I meant, "Aim and Fire!" "
Pilot: "I'm sorry. What should I do when I aim and shoot and still miss?"
Gumshoe: "You miss on purpose and you might hit!"
Pilot: :wacko:

It appeared that the machine guns on the helicopter had been mis-aligned. They (on real helicopters) usually converge at some distance. However, on that one, they were firing parallel streams.

Anyway, the 60s 104th Episode "The Devil's Balloon" was the 1st animated version of this story, which was the 52nd manga story (volume 16).

Finally found back that blooming thread.


Ok, there a few more quotes to add. From 'Uran Falls In Love':

Father: "Uran, what's that you're dragging home now?"
Uran: "A robot!"
Father: "A robot?! You sure bring home the darnest things!"

Robots dragging home robots. How darn is that!


The other one from 'The Death Balloon:

Inspector Gumshoe: "Ballast, you're under arrest on charges of aiding the activities of a rubber!"

I just love that pun. robber ---> rubber!

[Astro Forever]

How cute! I hadn't paid attention to those. Quite frankly, I'd have trouble to tell the difference between "rubber" and "robber".

(It reminds me that when I speak, I have to be very careful because "lawyer" may very well sounds just like "liar"! )

Oh my!
Hopefully you don't have any brother-in-law then!

Can we dig a deeper meaning in such kind of Freudian slips?

[Astro Forever]

Oh my!
Hopefully you don't have any brother-in-law then!

I do pronounce "law" by itself just the way it should be. At worst, it would sound like a French "la", which at least doesn't sound like "lie"! It's that "la-yer" would sound just like "liar".
