Quotes 

• Major : For someone who doesn't like people, how come you care about dogs so much?

  Batou : Don't know. I just like strays and they like me.

  Major : They like you because you feed them.

  Batou : You got no heart.

• [Batou sees Major walking down the hall with his new enhanced eyes] 

  Batou : I can see you out there, you know.

  Major : [holds up her middle finger]  How many fingers am I holding up?

  Batou : Funny.

• [Batou finds a badly injured Major] 

  Major : Say something nice.

  Batou : What's your name? Aramaki told me you had a name from before.

  Major : [pause]  Motoko.

• Major : Did they send you to bring me in?

  Batou : I'm just here to fish. Did you see any?

  Major : You're a company man. You follow orders, so if they ordered you to kill me...

  Batou : Stop saying shit like that. You're gonna piss me off.

• Batou : [Batou just got new eyes]  Say something nice.

  Major : You chose those?

  Batou : They're tactical.

• Batou : ...what's the difference, fantasy, reality, dreams, memories. It's all the same, just noise.

• Major : It feels like... there's always this thick fog over my memory and I can't see through it.

  Batou : You're lucky. Every single day, I get screwed by my memories. It's better to be pure. Like you.

• Batou : I got night vision, mile-zoom, and X-ray. I guess I see like you now.

  Major : Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

  Batou : Thanks for saving my ass.

  Major : Glad to see you're okay.

  [as Major is about to leave the lab] 

  Batou : Major? Could you feed the dogs for me? I don't want to scare them.

  Major : [agrees]  Anytime.

• Ladriya : [as Skinny Man is being interrogated]  I don't understand, how can he not know?

  Togusa : The hack must have created a vacuum. Kuze wiped his memory and somehow installed a new reality.

  Batou : At least, he got to believe he had a kid. What's the difference, huh? Fantasy, reality. Dreams, memories... It's all the same, just noise.

• Batou : [after the door man sticks his gun to Batou's abdomen]  I thought you said no trouble?

• Major : We used to have a dog.

  Batou : Seriously? I had you down as a cat person.
