Kelly Sheridan: Hitomi Kanzaki

Quotes 

• [Repeated line] 

  Hitomi Kanzaki : Was it all just a dream? Or maybe a vision? No, it was real...

• [Hitomi is teaching Van how to dowse by searching for Merle.] 

  Hitomi Kanzaki : Wait until you see her. Those long, pointy ears... the tail... that curly hair, those really big eyes... that obnoxious personality... that big mouth... and what's with that nose?

  Merle : That's it! I'm going to use her as a scratching post!

• [After Van can't find Merle with Hitomi's dowsing technique, Hitomi finds Merle and points at the bush where she's hiding.] 

  Hitomi Kanzaki : There!

  Merle : Yeah, like I'm gonna stand up!

  Van Fanel : Merle!

  [Merle gasps and jumps up into sight] 

  Merle : Here I am, Lord Van! You found me!

• Allen Schezar : What's the matter? It's all right, little princess, you can tell me. I am a knight of Asturia, Allen Schezar. And you're a guest in this castle. As its commander, I will protect you. It is my duty as a knight, no, as a man, to make sure you are safe.

  Hitomi Kanzaki : Allen, I -

  Ort : Man, how can he spout all that with a straight face?

  Teo : The boss has a knack for it.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : A knight and a princess. The perfect couple.

• Van Fanel : She's not a handmaiden. She's with me.

  Princess Milerna : Oh?

  Merle : Ohhh! No! She's with Allen!

  Princess Milerna : She's with Allen?

  Hitomi Kanzaki : No! I'm not! I mean . . .

  Princess Milerna : Oh, dear! I saw you wearing those strange clothes and I just assumed that, well . . . you know.

  Merle : That's an insult to handmaidens.

  Hitomi Kanzaki : Bad kitty!

• Princess Milerna : That dress looks great!

  Merle : You look good enough to be a handmaiden.

  Hitomi Kanzaki : Are you trying to pick a fight?

  Merle : Fighting's not very lady like.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : Com down here, you cat burglar!

• Hitomi Kanzaki : Great, first a wolf man, now a little cat girl.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : Little cat burglar! I'll teach you not to mess with an athlete.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : Yeah, it's my good luck charm. It used to be my grandma's. It's kind of neat, actually. When you swing it back and forth, it keeps perfect time, always completing one cycle a second, never slowing down.

• Van Fanel : Look, I don't need any woman to worry about me. I guess you want a reward then. Fine! Come to my castle, just don't get cocky. I apologize for involving you and your friends in my dragon slaying. Oh, and by the way, you didn't help me slay the dragon, you know.

  Hitomi Kanzaki : [speechless for a second before she slaps him hard across the face]  What is your problem? Are you always this pig-headed? I didn't help you for a reward, I , uh, just, well, I thought you were going to die and I was scared, really scared! The *least* you could do is say "thank you." You know, I shouldn't have even saved you. I should have let that stupid dragon eat you!

• Hitomi Kanzaki : They're the wings of an angel.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : This feather. There's something very, very sad about this feather.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : And about your wings? Don't worry, Van, because honestly, I think they're beautiful.

  Van Fanel : You and Merle are about the only ones who'd say that.

  Hitomi Kanzaki : What? Do you're putting me and Merle on the same level? Very funny.

• Hitomi Kanzaki : You are a murderer. You are a doppleganger. You have countless faces, but none of them are your own.
