## Quotes

### Meeting Captain Winslow

* *"Fleeting memories of those who've passed... Oh, salty tears are but an echo to the ocean!"*
	+ (Was that... poetic?) *"Though it's been long since I've stared into Death's eyes... I've grown fond of the memories it brought! Those of life and death, hatred and love alike!"*
* *"Ah, the gentle breeze... the salty taste of the ocean in every breath..."*
* *"Should your life be on the line, would you sink or swim, boot?"*
* *"You can take the captain out of the sea... But can you take the sea out of the captain?"*
* *"Leave none behind! Oh, hey, boot."*
* *"The voice in the sky is back...! Oh, it's only you, boot."*
* *"Pointy-eared boot reporting for service, eh?"*
* (Enjoying the oceanfront view?) *"Once a battlefield... now Nature's orchestra soothes my soul."*
* (Isn't Kokoloko peaceful?) *"It's calming to hear the waves crashing and not falling airplanes..."*
* (Ever miss the service?) *"I do miss the camaraderie, traveling, and the experiencing other cultures..."*

### Captain Winslow is yearning for his medal

* *"Decorations! So long since I've saw one..."*
* *"I gave up my medals for peace of mind, yet now... I regret this."*
* *"Shimmering stars remind me of my long gone medals..."*

When Kiki brings him the **War Medal**:

* *"How did you get your paws on this?! I won this Cross of Bravery medal after saving Eaglet Brian! When he held my flipper as I carried him through the burning fields... He saved me more than I saved him."*
	+ (Held hands?) *"Love blossoms even in the harshest of circumstances..."*
	+ (Saved you how?) *"Well, by granting me warmth and companionship in the midst of horror!"*
* *"We left the boats... it was our first in-land raid... My heart pounded with every step. The jungle was so silent... until it wasn't! Birdsong turned to gunshots and the whispering wind filled with screams..."*
	+ (That's horrible!) *"It was hell on earth indeed!"*
	+ (And then...?!) *"Oh, pointy-eared boot.."*
* *"Trenches overflowing with dying men! Bombs, shrieks, and gunshots! When I caught Eaglet Brian's plea to leave him behind... But how could I abandon the love that had sustained me?"*

### Captain Winslow craves caviar 1

* *"Surely there must be caviar SOMEWHERE!"*
* *"I've got this peculiar seafood craving..."*
* *"A place this nice ought to have delicacies like caviar..."*

When Kiki brings him **Caviar**:

* *"Just a taste of this... And my mind wanders to fading memories!"*
	+ (Is it good?) *"Good? That word can't even begin to describe how truly and utterly... Astounding caviar is!"*

### Captain Winslow remembers an old photo

* *"If only I could remember his face as well as I remember his voice..."*
* *"I wish I could take photographs of my memories..."*
* *"I'd love to see my comrades' faces again... their stories live on, but not their images."*

When Kiki brings him the **Old Photo**:

* *"Good heavens! Where did you find this?! It's Elephant Dan and me, on board of the C.S.S. Explorator! Our smiles would soon fade to the warcry of the horrid Battle of Port's Fall... This was the last time I'd ever get to enjoy Elephants Dan's... loving companionship."*
	+ (Battle of Port's Fall?) *"Feeble was my spirit after months of non-stop siege."*
	+ (OMG, do tell!) *"Only those who weren't there are eager to learn about it."*
* *"No words could ever truly describe the atrocities there! I was fortunate to have Elephant Dan by my side... His presence was like a soft breeze and his words like sweet water from which to drink."*
	+ (Wise dude, huh?) *"Indeed he was!"*
	+ (He sounds tough!) *"Heh- on the outside, perhaps..."*
* *"Two-man recon mission. Swiftness was the way... yet, my body trembled in fear... He said, 'Though a becalm...' That means no wind in the sails, '...is bad for sailing... Your state of mind should always be calm'."*

### Captain Winslow craves caviar 2

* *"I need a fix of the ocean's eggspresso!"*
* *"All of these memories call for some caviar!"*
* *"I have the ocean, the peace of mind... all I'm missing is some salt-cured roe!"*

When Kiki brings him **Caviar**:

* *"Top quality caviar, boot! I appreciate you bringing it. Its salty taste is a ticket to the past..."*
	+ (Oh, yeah?) *"It reminds me of the good times amidst the... unpleasantries of war. Salty at first, yet, there's a layered taste that takes you back... To the loving comrades hidden behind all that salt."*

### Captain Winslow wants a history book

* *"I'd love to read about that time period, reminisce about the times with my men!"*
* *"The fog of war moves in on my memories... A history book is what I need!"*
* *"I wonder... would my comrades and I be in the history books?"*

When Kiki brings him the **History Book**:

* *"This is it, pointy-eared boot! The official book on the \*war name\*. Hmm. Not how I remembered it!... That part's wrong... and so is that! I lived these moments, but I have my own stories to tell! Like being saved by, and ultimately falling for, an enemy combatant..."*
	+ (An enemy?!) *"War is the true enemy, pointy-eared boot."*
	+ (How is that possible?!) *"Love knows no bounds, pointy-eared boot."*
* *"Though history books only tell the winner's side! After a fierce night assault, stranded were friends and foes alike! As I came to my senses, I realised I was being carried into safety... by an enemy!"*
	+ (People should know this!) *"It seems that history cares not for love!"*
	+ (I need this in the books!) *"Historians ought to record not only facts but also love!"*
* *"In the battlefield, Death has many faces. But not as many as Love has! We joined forces to find our way back to our allies... Only to never see each other again."*

### Captain Winslow craves caviar 3

* *"A fancy hotel with no caviar! It's like an ocean without salt!"*
* *"I'd love to contemplate the ocean... whilst eating a salty snack."*
* *"I'll just say it--caviar. Know where to find some?"*

When Kiki brings him **Caviar**:

* *"Oh, yes, the CAVIAR! One of my most... unexpected saviors during war."*
	+ (I super DON'T like it!) *"Hah! Neither did I, pointy-eared boot... Yet after the shipwreck... Whilst helplessly drifting in the middle of the sea... This salty delicacy soon became a friend... it was the only thing to eat!"*

### Captain Winslow is looking for his dog tags

* *"Seems I've lost the best way to identify your men--dog tags!"*
* *"Have you seen my dog tags?"*
* *"My soul feels as lost as my dog tags."*

When Kiki brings him his **Dog Tags**:

* *"Huh! How-! How did your paws get a hold of these? Not only did you find my tags, but also those of Almirants Philephant and Albeart! We served as a special SEAL infiltration element."*
	+ (No way!) *"We were the very best, if you can imagine!"*
	+ (A bit odd...) *"Expect the unexpected, boot!"*
* *"How could three imposing lads make it undetected, you may ask? See... we improvised a route into enemy territory... Using ghillie suits to make our muscular bodies look like bushes!"*
	+ (That sounds cool!) *"We were rather, how did you say it? Cool!"*
	+ (I'd be too nervous!) *"Tranquility is crucial, boot!"*
* *"As we improvised and adapted, and thus we triumphed! And though my almirants fell in battles to come... We were known as the Hat-trick stealth!"*

### Other

* *"You looked three sheets to the wind yesterday!"* (Huh?) *"Yeah, you know... in a high wind you have no control... Just like when you overdo it with liquor!"*
* *"I sometimes wake, the moon shining bright over the sea... I feel it call my name..."* (Shouldn't you answer?) *"Don't think my old bones could bear more adventure... Yet telling my story, like how the waves sing theirs..."*
* *"This might sound nonsensical, boot..."* (Yeah?) *"War is a rotten business to the core. But bringing memories back with you... Has brought me peace, like how the ocean rests after a storm."*
