There are too many quotes to make this a poll, but what do people think?

A couple of my favourite FLCL quotes are on my profile, and they are:

" It takes an idiot to do cool things. That's why it's cool." - Haruko Haruhara

"...Watermelon. Or like a panda with a mean face, or like sandals with pressure points drawn on them, or the smell of a blackboard eraser, or a Sunday morning where you wake up and it's raining. Well, I like him more than hard bread. " - Mamimi Samejima

Ok, so you mean: "Nothing amazing happens here. Only the ordinary"
I think!
Not far off!

That is a good quote!

Eri Ninamori: "What's that?" *points to Canti*
Naota's Dad: "Our TV."
Canti: *stands up, walks out of the room*
Eri Ninamori: "Why does he walk?!"
Naota's Dad: "It's our TV-walkman."

"Denkai anima"

I beleive it was "The pepoles crotch attack" when it was translated though.
The Nihongo version is better in my opion though.

Haruko - It´s Flictonic klipple waver syndrome.
Naota- Furi kuri?
Haruko- A common disease where children grow horns from trying to hard.
Naota- That´s a lie. I´ve never heard of anything like that
Haruko- =Okay, I lied=....undearneath the bandage

This takes place in the hospital in episode 1

"When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. That's how I know there really is a world outside."

That quote took my breath away.

"When you're on a bike, the ocean is a lot closer than you think. The autumn salt wind went right through into the back of my nose. And maybe it's because like as Haruko said my head was empty."

That and the one mangoleaf said are probably my favorites.

That's one of my favorites. I do have to wonder what they were like before they got translated. Awesome thread though!

I was just trying to think. I've watched the Japanese version with English subs, but i can't recall just how much of the good quotes are directly translated. I'm sure some of them are. I know there is quite a lot of difference where references to Japanese culture have been translated. Hmmm... I must watch the Japanese version again!

I love it because it has a certain philisophical feel to it. It is really thought out, too. I love it :3

Naota : Nothing amazing happens here. Everything is ordinary. The huge factory that can be seen from our town, the Medical Mechanica Plant, all the adults got excited when it came here, like it was really a big thing. The white steam that billows out every day at the same time, it looked to me like smoke that signified some kind of omen. Smoke that spreads out and covers everything.

Mamimi: If that thing hits, do you think we'll have school tomorrow?

Naota: Those... eyebrows.
Amarao: What about the eyebrows?
Naota: Nothing.

That's a really good one.

I also love the subbed or dubbed line in episode 4, after Naota has helped hit the incoming baseball satellite out. Mamimi says very sort of quiet-like "Takkun, he really swung the bat." There's just something about that line that gets me; the tone, the implications, the finality. So good.

"TV walkman" and "eyebrows" are funny, and the "like hime more than hard bread" is quirky fun too.

This is just my favorite for some reason, it feels like a turning point for Noata in the story.
