- We need to rest for a while. Our organization is getting too hot. You'll take a year, a sabbatical, incognito. You'll be in Osaka. There's a gang who contracted us, they owe us. I told them about you, you'll lay low there.
- A pro assassin blending into the general population. Interesting idea. To live a normal life is quite a challenge.
- Don't raise trouble there. You'll take a break, you won't kill anyone. If you do I'll kill you.

"You feel guilty. That's why you approached her, right? Guess I hit the bullseye. Didn't expect the legendary hit man to have such feelings."
..........................................
- I met a guy I was once supposed to kill.
- What?
- Remember when I killed five people four years ago? I was ordered to kill six. But one was canceled at the last minute.
- How come?
- I don't know. Boss' decision.
- So you met the sixth guy?
- He calls himself Utsubo now. I only talked to him normally and left. But do you think I should kill him?
- No! It was canceled, right?
- It smells.
- Smells? Like evil?
- Hinako Saba was there too.
- What? wasn't she in the parking lot incident?
- And her big brother. He's probably a pro. And then, there's Utsubo. What an odd team.

- Batu Khan, I served your grandfather and your father. And all my life I fought. Fought and won. But I can't fight spirits. Yes, I know that it was not the spirits that poisoned the water and attacked our camp. But I saw it myself.
- What did you see?
- That Russian was on the field all alone. We surrounded him. Suddenly a snowstorm arose, and huge beast came out of it. It tore us to shreds, and then the Russians appeared.**
- When I was a kid, you gave me a riddle. 'Long, black, can not sleep' Do you remember? .... I didn't notice how old you are. 'It's a shadow' The Russians cannot defeat us. But fear can. All my warriors must see that these are not spirits, but ordinary people, weak people.

"I am a simple Russian warrior. My name is Evpaty Kolovrat."

"If the dragon-slayer should bathe in dragon-blood! He'd then become invincible And invulnerable to chop or stab!"
........................................
"Spare my life in exchange for the Tarnhelm, O hero! It turns its wearer invisible; allows him to take on any form!"
........................................
"I come, King Gunther, to ask you for your sister Kriemhild's hand in marriage!"
"The first thing I remember is a shiny white line stretching into the Universe. I close my eyes and open them again. But the image didn't change. Wiping their slates clean and starting over is some people's dream. For me it was the beginning of a nightmare. My face was the face of a stranger. I had no idea who the man in the mirror was. I studied him for a long time as he stared back at me. It seem to be something familiar about his eyes. No wallet, no ID."
"One of the problems with having amnesia is that you have to start from scratch. You're as innocent as a newborn baby. And yet you've lived and made mistakes.When you don't remember who you were and how you lived before you set such high standards for yourself that is impossible to live up to them. Me, I was failing by even the most miserable of standards."
"Isazo the Wanderer? I knew him well. Were we sworn brothers? No way. Sure, I'M a yakuza too, but I'M still unaccomplished. But not Isazo. Through and through, so to speak. He was what a true yakuza looks like. 'The Ripper' would have been a perfect name for him rather than 'the Wanderer'. He never stayed in one place More than three days. He killed so Many that he was always on alert that someone was after him. You could feel it. He had no boss, no disciple. Won't let anyone get close to him. He truly was a lone wolf."
..........................................
- I don't know who's got an upper hand. I don't care who's going to win. I just can't ignore yakuza rules.
- That's crazy. The correct way for a virtuous Man is to side with the righteous party, isn't it?
- Righteousness and virtue have to do with your attitude. They aren't commodities or banners.

"You will never understand how dark and how horrifying it can be unless you have walked the path yourself."

"We'll hitch a ride with the krauts."
.......................................
- My guess is uh, they brought these caskets on board. One of these things got out, slaughtered the crew. The captain must've figured out what was going on. Killed as many as he could. Wrecked the life boats, turned the ship off course. It's these monsters. This is what killed Bigelow.
- Strigoi. Fairy tales. Something my grandfather used to tell us.
- This isn't exactly a fairy tale Alexander.
- Strigoi is the living dead. Shape shifters. They, they, they move by night, hunting. Changing shape and appearance. They command armies of animals and insects. That's what bedtime stories to, to frighten children.
- Alexander? Alex? Hey? Did these bedtime stories, did they tell you how to kill the bastards?
- These uh, holy weapons. Relics and stuff.
- There's a box of this stuff down in the cargo hold. It's locked in there with the one that killed Bigelow.
"You know nothing of death. We must show you what it means to embrace death. To welcome it, with open arms. Only the gods can truly learn to embrace death. It is your nature to fear what you do not understand"
"Now, what do we all have in common, apart from an urgent need for funds? We were all trained at great public expense to do certain things with the utmost efficiency, such as how to kill a man with the minimum effort and other minor arts and crafts, which, while frowned upon in peacetime, are acclaimed in times of war. Well, I've got a social conscience, and I think it's a crying shame for so much public money to be wasted. I intend to put it to some practical peacetime use"
.....................................................
- What rank did they kick you out with, by the way?
- I made half colonel.
- Let me tell you about me, though.
- Yes, do.
- Well, I'm careful the careful type. Came through the shooting match without a scratch. Not luck, I just took care. Rule one, ask first, be a hero later. So I'm asking, why should you want to lead me to the biggest amount of loot I've ever heard of?
- Because you're one of the experts I need. To be successful, an army has to be mobile. That means a good transport officer. You used to be as good as they come.
- And what about the others?
- I'm glad you asked me that. What did you think of them, by the way?
- Well, not nature's noblemen, perhaps.
- No, but as a team, all hand-selected. I wasn't exactly idle during my last few months at the War Office. You'd be surprised what a little research in the files brought to the surface. No, not surprised, because you came floating up.
- Floating?
- I got everything I wanted. Weaver, genius with explosives. Lexy, the radio king. Mycroft, absolutely first class quartermaster.
- And the other three?
- Good trained soldiers, ruthless if need be.
- And what's your speciality?
- I synchronize the watches.
- And go over the top first?
- I shall be there on the day.
- Well, remember rule two, old darling. Never get ahead of the mob. They're liable to shoot you in the ass. What you need someone to protect your interests.
- Yes, that had occurred to me too, but before you suggest yourself for the job, I ought to mention one thing. Everybody gets the same share.
- Well, roughly, anyway.
- No.
- I intend to get away with this, and the one sure way to disaster is for somebody to get greedy. So it's equal shares for all.
- Including you?
- Of course.

"Operation Golden Fleece. This is the battlefield on which we shall fight, and here, I promise you, we shall enjoy our finest hour. What price glory? 100,000 pounds each, tax free. You won't have to sign a single form for it. You won't even have to salute"
"That's four dreams now, always the same, and all in the same location three of which began slowly and gradually escalated, until, one by one, the men in the dreams killed themselves. But the fourth man in the fourth dream is stronger. He's strong but becomes weaker. And if this place really exists, then he exists, too."
....................................
- Do you ever wake up and your dream is still there?
- Yes, It happened recently.
- And how did you get out of the dream?
- Well, if you're lucky, you notice that you're dreaming.
- What if you notice but still can't wake up?
- Then you need some kind of kick. Something extreme… like dying.
- Dying.
- Something shocking.
- And what if I don't know whether I'm dreaming or whether I'm awake?
"No, I'll put myself in MY shoes. I belong over there(KGB), right till the end. I have no choice. I've had no choice for a long time. You know all about me, you ought to realize that. So don't talk to me about freedom and about life. You aren't free with a bullet in the head! You(Mi5) know all about the KGB. You know because it's you! It's you(Mi5) in Russian. If I leave here "free", as you put it, I'll be dead before I cross the road. I'll walk 2 meters in the West and die a free man. Even if I go over the rooftops or tunnel my way from this room to some remote village in Mexico they(KGB)'ll get there before me because they're looking for me. I may be dead but the KGB have to kill me to prove a point. That's why they let me come here. They knew that I'm my own best bodyguard."
