- Gintoki Sakata: This is Gintoki. Recently, I was chasing after a cat who took my fish. I was running butt naked, and everyone, even the sun, was laughing at me.
- Gintoki Sakata: Hey, listen. I don't care what you punks do around the universe, but this is my sword, and anywhere it can reach is my country. Bastards who come in and try to mess with my things... whether it be a shogun, whether it be space pirates, whether it be a meteorite... I'll destroy them!
- Gintoki Sakata: "A person's life is like carrying a heavy burden while walking a long road." A long time ago, a guy named Tokugawa Nobuhide said that.
- Kotaro Katsura: What's with the mixed names? It's Lord Ieyasu, Lord Ieyasu!
- Gintoki Sakata: When I first heard it, I thought it sounded so lame. But I guess you can't dismiss what old people say. It wasn't a burden. It was something important that you held with both hands. But you didn't realize it was there when you held it. I only realized its true weight after it slipped from my hands. I don't know how often I thought, "I'll never carry this again." But, all of a sudden, I'm feeling that weight again... If I really threw it all away, it'd be easier. But, regardless, I don't feel like it. It would be too boring to keep walking without them.
- Kotaro Katsura: Your right hand can't carry the entire burden. From now on, I'm your left arm.
- Daraku: I'm not typically a guy who just hates people. But there are 3 types of people I can't stand: The first is the guy who gets in the way of work; the second is a guy who doesn't wash his hands in the restroom; the third is a dirty looking guy with a natural perm. You fit all the categories!
- Gintoki Sakata: Do you want me to tell you the three kinds of people I hate? First, girls who fool around during preparations for a school festival! Second, foolish boys who tag along with them, unnecessarily aroused! Third, teachers who just go along with it, smiling serenely!
- Daraku: Geez. All you're saying is you hate school festivals. I bet you had a gloomy youth...
- Gintoki Sakata: Not as bad as yours. Fooling around in a restroom at your age... still, what I like about you is that you look like a leaf that can't dress right.
