Wolf's Rain (2003–2004)

Mitsuru Miyamoto: Hubb Lebowski

Quotes 

• Cher Degre : Now I know, paradise is something that must be opened by the wolves. There's only one place that can be called paradise, and I suppose that's the way it should be.

  Hubb Lebowski : [pulls out a cigar taken from the soliders abandoned car]  So that's what the celebration was for...do you think there's a chance that we could go there too?

  Cher Degre : No, I doubt it.

  Hubb Lebowski : Then what the hell are we supposed to do?

  Cher Degre : The only thing we can do...die out.

  Hubb Lebowski : Why?

  Cher Degre : Because the world would become distorted with us in it. And yet in a new world, one that was created by the spirit of the wolves, I'm sure there'd be new humans as well.

  Hubb Lebowski : So we're all a bunch of pawns to be thrown away, huh? That suits me just fine.

  Cher Degre : [scene changes to the couple in the car]  You know I think I understand now why you and I never had children...on some level we knew the world was ending, it may of seemed like we had found something else to obsess over but the truth is we'd given up on the future. That's the real reason I was never able to get pregnant.

  Hubb Lebowski : Do you still feel that way?

  Cher Degre : What shred of hope am I supposed to have left after all of this?

  Hubb Lebowski : I'm here...together with you. Something that I had almost given up hope on has come true. Whatever happens to the world, Cher, I want to have faith in the future.

  Cher Degre : [smiles]  You really have changed.

• Hubb Lebowski : Cher... Cher! Cher! Cher...

  Cher Degre : Listen to me, Hubb... You've become very reliable.

  Hubb Lebowski : Yeah, because I have to protect you.

  [Cher smiles.] 

  Hubb Lebowski : We can start over. A baby too... let's have a baby too. We'll bake bread... and...

  Hubb Lebowski : [as Cher's eyes fade]  That's right, we'll nurture a bird too. Everything will turn out fine... It'll turn out fine.

  Hubb Lebowski : Cher... Cher! Cher...

  [sobs, while cries out her name; everyone mourns] 

• Hubb Lebowski : Quent Yaiden . . . So, can you tell me what brings the sheriff of Kyrios to our humble city? That's some heavy artillery you have there, but I doubt that you came here just to hunt.

  Quent Yaiden : Where is it? The animal I killed?

  Hubb Lebowski : It's apparently dead. The body will be disposed of here.

  Quent Yaiden : That's impossible! There's not a chance in Hell that that thing is dead! Show it to me, and I'll believe you! Don't you understand?! That thing is a wolf!

  Hubb Lebowski : A wolf? You think it's a wolf?

  Quent Yaiden : It looks like a dog, but it's not! It's a wolf! You don't honestly think that we killed all of them, do you, Detective?!

  Hubb Lebowski : The last appearance of a wolf was over two hundred years ago. How do you think they survived this long without going unnoticed? The mountains and forests are all gone. There's no place for any wolves to hide anymore.

  Quent Yaiden : I'm telling you, they somehow cast a spell over us! They're all around us! Wolves do exist, and we have to kill them all!

• Hubb Lebowski : I thought that this sort of thing would be under your jurisdiction.

  Cher Degre : So, then, it's alive?

  Hubb Lebowski : Barely. I think it's only a matter of time before it goes.

  Cher Degre : That sounds like us.

  Hubb Lebowski : We're not over yet. We just need to keep trying.

  Cher Degre : I'm not so sure.

  Hubb Lebowski : [Hubb and Cher walk into the holding room to see Hige in front of Kiba's wolf form, who's held in a cage]  Hey, what are you doing? What department are you with?

  Hige : Oh, sorry. I was looking for cleaning supplies, and I, um, got lost.

  Hubb Lebowski : The cleaning crew, huh? Just go out that door . . .

  [Hubb points to an open door] 

  Hubb Lebowski : . . . and the supply closet is on your right.

  Hige : Oh, really? Thanks.

  [Hige exits the room through the open door] 

  Hubb Lebowski : So, do you think it's a wolf?

  Cher Degre : I don't know. For one thing, I've never seen one before. But, if it is a wolf, it may be related to Cheza's sudden reaction.

  Hubb Lebowski : Oh, please. Not Cheza again.

  Cher Degre : What's that supposed to mean?

  Hubb Lebowski : It's because of Cheza you and I broke-up.

  Cher Degre : Stop acting like an idiot, Hubb, and take this thing up to the lab.

  Hubb Lebowski : I'll have somebody do it later. Dogs and I don't really get along. Actually, I'm allergic to them.

  Cher Degre : This is the reason that you and I would never work.

  Hubb Lebowski : I don't know; maybe it is only a matter of time.

• Cher Degre : To be honest, you sound a little obsessed.

  Hubb Lebowski : I'm not obsessed, Cher. Don't worry. I'm probably just looking for another excuse to see you.

• Quent Yaiden : Look at this.

  [Quent shows Hubb his hand, which Tsume cut open earlier] 

  Quent Yaiden : Pretty, ain't it? It's a souvenir from an angry wolf.

  Hubb Lebowski : You can't prove it was a wolf.

  Quent Yaiden : Well, there wern't any cats or ferrets around. There was only a young human. The beast turned into a little boy right in front of my eyes. It was just a little kid.

  Hubb Lebowski : Can you remember what the boys face looked like?

  Quent Yaiden : For some reason, my memory's a little fuzzy.

  Hubb Lebowski : Maybe I should come back another time.

  Quent Yaiden : It'll always be the same. But I'm not drunk yet tonight.

  Hubb Lebowski : I don't know why I ever thought I could come to you for advice.

  Quent Yaiden : You're obsessed with the wolves, huh? You're dying to know everything now. Isn't that right, Detective?

  Hubb Lebowski : That dog you shot ran away.

  Quent Yaiden : What a surprise.

  Hubb Lebowski : And you think it put some kind of spell on us to escape?

  Quent Yaiden : You got it.

  Hubb Lebowski : It just isn't possible.

  Quent Yaiden : These claw marks . . . and the fact that you're here should be proof enough. There are a lot more of 'em, you know. People you pass everyday in the market, the poor shlubs you sit next to in the bar . . . Any one of them could be wolves. I tell you now the words of "Red Moon." "From the great spirit was born the wolf, and man became it's messenger." In other words, the human race was created from wolves. So says the author of "The Book of the Moon."

  Hubb Lebowski : "Book of the Moon?"

  Quent Yaiden : I might as well say it: Instead of looking for wolves, you should probably start suspecting humans.
