Quotes from Gundam Wing
Here are some of my favorite quotes from Gundam Wing. These are all from the uncut English dub. If you want an accurate translation of the original scripts, go to GUNDAMWING.ORG. I have several from each character, but Duo has the most because a) he's my favorite, 2) he has the best one-liners, and lastly, let's face it, we all know he talks the most.
From Heero Yuy
"Mission accepted."
"I'll kill you."
"...Relena..."
"You're in over your head."
"Finally, everything is finished. Mission complete."
"Hnn..."

"What's wrong?... Can't do it... What's wrong with me!?"

"A failed mission means death, but my card hasn't come up yet."
"What a miserable mission. I screwed up. I TOTALLY SCREWED UP!"

"Time to liven things up, buddy!"
"Damn, I'm gonna have nightmares over this one!"
"Now, I can understand you wanting to take your own life, but maybe, just maybe, you should think of another way of committing suicide, buddy!"
"He just goes and puts a broken bone back into place... Man, that just totally grossed me out THINKING about it!"
"He's antisocial, thinks he's Evil Kineeval and hardly speaks!... Why don't you just give up and stop pretending to be human?"
"Seems like the two of us are gonna have to fight it out after all."
"From the colony, the moon's just too close. It almost looks like a graveyard... I wonder how long I'll be able to see the moon like this..."
"How about trusting me a bit?"
"Well, she's not your average chick, wanting to see the guy who's trying to kill her."
"What took ya, Heero? Don't worry, I left you some action."
"Hey, good lookin'! Pretty nice day, huh? Well, gotta get to class, I'll see ya later!"
"Why's it always the quiet guys who do things the flashiest way?"

"Just watch, I'll be the God of Death once again! But right now, I need some sleep. [passes out]"
"How come him again? I'm a better pilot than 01, you know!"
"Damn all of you to hell!"
"Shall we escape?"
"We're both fighting for the peace of the colonies, right? So how is it we've become enemies?"
"If you're gonna die, Hilde, don't die in vain."

"Are there more Gundam pilots like me?... Wish I could meet them. All of them."
"Roger that, Heero. I'm gonna stake my life on you."
"They're violent and dangerous, but they're all really nice guys!" (How's that for an oxymoron?)
"We can't win by ourselves. But I'm positive the others will come."
"The pain...my body...my soul!"
"That's funny... I have tears in my eyes. But I'm not one bit sad!"
"Tell the others for me. Tell them to stay away from me. Otherwise, I'll end up killing tham too!"
"You're afraid to die, aren't you guys? Well, then... You shouldn't be fighting at all!"
"What the colonies really need... is a war!"
"The Earth was very kind to us all."
"Put your hands up, and no funny stuff!" (Quatre's so cute when he gets demanding, huh ^_^)
From Chang Wufei

"Haven't you guys gotten tired of these meaningless battles yet?"
"If you don't kill me right now, I'll keep coming back until I get you, Treize!"

"They succeeded in a mission that we deemed impossible."

"Your resistance is futile." (Is Zechs really a Borg or something?)
"May he rest in peace... The betrayed and outraged Miliardo Peacecraft."
"I can't falter now with the Sanc Kingdom right in front of my eyes!"
"Why am I hesitating?"
"What am I afraid of?... Is this the end?"
"Father, forgive your son... My hands, they're too stained with blood... I have failed you..."

"So I'm Lady Une, of OZ... Or do I work under Mr. Treize?"
From Lucrezia Noin
"Battles that risk men's lives are miscalculations."
"In my mind, the value of live versus war is something one can't even compare!"
"Open up, Zechs. You're hiding far too many secrets."

"I guess quiet people attract quiet friends."
"I think that's the first time I've heard Trowa laugh out loud."
"Don't you think your life is a little too valuable?... Did you even give a thought to the people you'd leave behind?... You didn't think about us, the people you'd leave behind! We'd have to keep on living in sorrow!"
From Hilde Schbeiker
"I'm prepared to die at any time!"
From Sally Po
"You're out of your mind!"
"I don't care what happens to me, but you're not getting that Gundam!"
"I can't understand why you call yourself a coward."
"It's happened again. A repeat of senseless wars by senseless people!"
"Wars use people's lives as mere playthings."
"Everyone has their own sense of justice. Even you."
"What's the point of having strength if you don't have the heart?"
"This is nuts, but it's the only way!"
From The Scientists
Doctor J: "Wars are started by people, and they end with people."
Professor G: "Why don't we build OZ a real rascal to keep them occupied?"
Professor G: "If you're going to die, hurry up and do it. You're wasting air." (Gee, I wonder how Duo got to be such a wiseass.)
Exchanges
Noin: "Don't shoot!"
Soldier: "Why?"
Wufei: "Cuz she's a woman!"
Duo: "Hey! You can't go anywhere with your machine in this condition! We're talking miracles here!"
Heero: "It might take a miracle for you, but I can handle it."
Duo: "Well, excuse me for being a mere mortal!"
Heero: "Hey!"
Duo: "What is it? You're too late if you think you're gonna ask for my help."
Heero: "Could you keep it down over there?"
Duo: "Yeah, sure. Excuse me for interrupting."
Duo: "Unreal! I don't believe it! The guy's incredible! He fixed his machine in one night!"
Technician: "Oh no! We've been had! He took his parts from this suit!"
Duo: "What? I was just complimenting him! TRAITOR!"
Catherine: "Trowa, why didn't you dodge the knife?"
Trowa: "I'm not paid to dodge."
Relena: "Heero, I know too much about you. Are you still gonna kill me?"
Heero: "...Yeah..."
Quatre: "Funny we ended up at the same destination."
Trowa: "I'm doing this alone."
Quatre: "So am I! But what if we helped each other?"
Trowa: "Don't think so."
Quatre: "Two's always better than one!"
Duo: "I'm just trying to act normal."
Heero: "You stand out."
Duo: "You wouldn't be as suspicious if you stopped being so secretive. Why don't you just chill out and have some fun as a student?"
Heero: "Leave me alone."
Duo: "Quatre..."
Quatre: "Yes?"
Duo: "Circle the sky just once. I can't help them now, but I want to do... something."
Quatre: "Sure thing."
Heero: "Why'd you save me? I was supposed to die with honor."
Trowa: "You died a long time ago."
Trowa: "...or should I be following your example?"
Heero: "In that case, I've got one warning."
Trowa: "What's that?"
Heero: "[Dying] hurts like hell."
Trowa: laughs
Trowa: "That girl's tears stopped me. If you were in my shoes, you still would've done it, right? Now you should understand why I admire your strength."
Heero: "I said this before. The only way to live a good life is to act on your emotions."
Dr. J: "They hate persistant old men."
Prof. G: "Yeah, but you have to be persistant to get anywhere in life."
Prof. G: "Who's there?"
Duo: "The God of Death!"
Trowa: "...It's Quatre. We have nothing to worry about."
Heero: "Be cautious, Trowa. Something's not right. Remember, he just destroyed a colony."
Master O: "It wouldn't hurt as much if you screamed out loud."
Duo: "Yeah, but Mama said, real men never scream out loud."
Hilde: "This one's for the peace of the colonies!"
Duo: "Hey, wait a minute! I'm fighting for the peace of the colonies as well!"
Duo: "Now that Quatre's back, we'll be busy again."
Wufei: "I don't know... I've got a bad feeling..."
Trowa: "Quatre, what's wrong?..."
Quatre: "Outer space has lost all reason! I'm gonna use this gundam to destroy it all!"
Hilde: "Hey, you!... I want to see that application."
Duo: "Oh, this? It's all filled out. But it's a FAKE!" throws bag at Hilde
Hilde: "SCUM!!"
Heero: "I'll kill you, Quatre."
Quatre: "Then hurry up and kill me! Then you can go and save Trowa!"
