47.

“What I mean is that, even a dumb ass like me can think everything’s pointless. Why do I get up and eat? It all ends up shit anyway. Why am I going to school and studying? Even if I happen to succeed I’m going to die anyway. You wear nice clothes, you seek respect, you make a lot of money, but what’s the point? It’s all pointless. Of course this kind of meaninglessness might suit this crappy nation. But…but, you see, we still have emotions like joy and happiness, right? They may not amount to much. But they fill our emptiness. That’s the only explanation I have.”

“Shogo. I know I’m repeating myself, but I have to say it. If I were Keiko, this is what I’d say. Please live. Talk, think, act. And sometimes listen to music…. Look at paintings at times to be moved. Laugh a lot, and at times, cry. And if you find a wonderful girl, then go for her and love her. Because that’s the Shogo I really loved.”
          - Battle Royale (Noriko Nakagawa)

“Together Noriko we’ll live with the sadness. I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul. Someday girl I don’t know when we’re gonna get to that place. Where we really want to go and we’ll walk in the sun.”
