Ataru Quotes in Urusei Yatsura: Only You (1983)

[Broadcast over the entire Oni fleet's radio]

Rose: Oh, so you've come to?

Ataru: What the? Where am I? And who are you?

Rose: My name is Rose, the Woman Of Seven Disguises. I work for Babara.

Lum's Father: [yells into microphone] It's a spy. A spy has kidnapped my son-in-law.

Ataru: Thank you. Thank you. I'm saved. There I was, in hell, and along comes an angel, I'm saved. Lum is so persistant, I really thought my luck had run out. Still, you shouldn't give up. At the last moment a savior comes along, and best of all, a pretty girl.

Rose: Oh, you're so kind.

Megane: [muttering] That idiot.

Ataru: Let's go on to my rosy new life with Elle. Full speed ahead.

Lum's Father: [crushing microphone] Shame on you. Stop that. Stop.

[Ataru sees Lum in an escape pod.]

Ataru: Whew, she managed to eject safely.

Rose: I guess you really do care for her.

Ataru: Uh, not really.

Lum: This is so romantic.

Ataru: [Thinking] Boy, what a mess I'm in.

Lum: We've been through so much, but at last we're going to be properly married.

Ataru: [Thinking] I want to see Elle. Somehow I must escape from this trap.

Lum: I can almost hear the footsteps of happiness.

Ataru: [Thinking] I can almost hear the footsteps of doom.

Lum: Somehow I have this feeling that we're not on the same wavelength.

Ataru: Huh? Must be your imagination.

Lum: Even if it takes a lifetime, I'll make you say it.

Ataru: I'll say it on my deathbed!

Carla: How dare you interfere with my ship's path! Thanks to you, my ship is trashed!

Ataru: But that's no reason to kill someone before getting acquainted!

Carla: Stop talking nonsense and just sign this marriage license!

Ataru: I WILL NEVER FORGET! You... Lum.

Lum: Why don't you admit that it burns you up?

[Zaps and burns Ataru.]

Ataru: W... Who's burned up, you idiot?!

Ten: You're just smoking with jealousy, aren't you?

[Sakura watches Lum chase Ataru.]

Sakura: Hey, you kids! Try not to bother the neighbors too much!

Ataru: "Bother?" Of course not! I'd love to... go on a date with you!

[Whacks him with her staff.]

Sakura: What's wrong with your ears?!

Sakura: Lum, listen carefully. This is a time of extreme emergency. You must talk Rupa into fixing things.

Lum: Well, if Darling says that he loves me, then I wouldn't mind talking to Rupa.

Sakura: [to Ataru] So she says.

Benten: Earth's fate hangs on a single world from you.

Sakura: Say it! Even if it's a lie!

Mendou: On this occasion, I shall permit it.

Shinobu: Is it that difficult? It's just a simple phrase! You say it all the time to other girls!

Ataru: I hate your guts!

[an earthquake erupts]

Shinobu: [grabs onto Mendo] Ah! Mendo, I'm scared!

Ataru: [grabs onto Shinobu] Ah! Mendo, you're scary!
