Nier: You're the Shade inside Kainé. Why are you trying to help her? Tyrann: Probably for the same reason you are. Enough talk. Make your choice.

Kainé: Just don't die on me. Emil: I won't, Kainé! Let's take care of this shit-hog! Kainé: I like it!

Yonah: Hey, Dad. Thanks for always being there for me. Oh, here! I brought your half. Shadowlord: Yonah...

Nier: Popola, let's stop this now. Popola: Stop? Stop? You want me to stop? You think I have the luxury to stop? You cut down my sister like an animal and you tell me to STOP!?

Emil: He's paying a lot of money for us to go find some old cooking knife. Weiss: Whether for love of food or love of fine cutlery, there is little doubt that this man is a serious customer. Emil: Maybe we could buy a whole bunch of knives for him. Then we'd be rich!

Emil: It's hard to believe there are plants that can grow in this desert. Kainé: Yeah, this'll never work. Weiss: How do you mean? Kainé: I mean if plants could grow here, it would be full of 'em! ...God, books can be so stupid sometimes.

Emil: I hear that lots of men are getting into cooking lately. I bet this guy just wanted a new hobby. Weiss: Yes, yes. Well, we must be off.

Nier: Hey, Kainé? Did you take the antidote? Kainé: Don't need it. ...God, those berries were amazing. Weiss: The truly amazing thing is that your stomach is fouler than your taste in clothing! Kainé: If you had genitals, I would so chop them off right now.

P-33: ...Error. There is something leaking from your eyes. Kalil: I'm crying, you big dumb robot! I miss my mom. P-33: What is crying? Who is Mom? Kalil: It doesn't matter. I can't see her ever again, because she's dead.

Devola: It won't be easy. Nier: Kill Shades and save my daughter. Easiest thing in the world. Devola: But... but how can you even be sure that she's— Nier: Because she is! All right!?

Kainé: You're gonna die today, shit-hog! Weiss: Shit-hog? Oh come now, that's not even a real word!

Weiss: Emil! Nier: Emil! EMIL! Kainé: Emil, you jackass, get back here! ...EMIL!!

Noir: Your chance encounter with this man... Your collection of the Sealed Verses... It was all set in motion by the Shadowlord himself! Weiss: No... Lies... Noir: The time has come for us to create a new and perfect world.

Weiss: Perhaps we should place our own financial situation ahead of the concerns of an elderly woman, hmmm?

Weiss: Perhaps you have learned something on this journey after all! Nier: Maybe. What do you think, Kainé? Kainé: Don't care.

Nier: Hey, Kainé? Did you take the antidote? Kainé: Don't need it. ...God, those berries were amazing. Weiss: The truly amazing thing is that your stomach is fouler than your taste in clothing! Kainé: If you had genitals, I would so chop them off right now.

Kainé: I'm going to walk over to you, and very carefully... Extend my hand, reach into your chest, and PULL OUT YOUR FUCKING HEART!!!

Weiss: Such a fascinating tale. Nier: Are you being serious? Weiss: Of course not.

Weiss: Emil? Emil, wait! Emil: AaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Weiss: He's gone! His instincts have taken hold! The ultimate weapon is being deployed!

Emil: How nice! A wedding! Flowers everywhere, everyone's happy... it's great! I'm kinda jealous! Aren't you kinda jealous, Kainé? Kainé: ...Meh. Emil: Aww, come on!

Kainé: But listen. If this Shade should ever... Kainé: ... Emil: No! Kainé, I promise I'll never give up! But you can't give up either!

Nier: You don't care what these people say about you? Kainé: No, screw 'em.

Postman: Hey there, bounty hunter! Come to collect, have you? Let's see, where'd I put it... Oh, here it is. Nier: Crap! That's a lot of money. Postman: Oh, that's nothing. You should have seen the cut those guards took before you got here!

For long centuries, the tree had been alone, its heart sealed with heavy chains. But no more. New, powerful emotions began to take hold, causing its heart to lighten. This was more than the simple emotions it had been designed to feel; it was the beginnings of a soul.

Nier: Tell me about this guy. Yonah: He lives in this really big house down south, and he's super nice, and he's my friend. You have to help him, Dad! Please? Nier: Yonah, listen... Yonah: Pleeeeease!?

Nier: I need... more... power... I need to... protect... Yonah...

Nier: Hey. Weiss: Yes? Nier: Aren't you all powerful? Can't you just... you know? Use magic to zap this place into shape?

Popola: I do have something, but... I don't know. It's going to be a bit of an ordeal. Nier: Sounds right up my alley.

Shadowlord: Soon my body will arrive. Then we can be together. Just like before.

Emil: Yeah, so what was your wedding like? Did you have a huge feast where you made lots of toasts? Was there dancing and jesters and bears on unicycle and— Nier: It was a long time ago, Emil. Emil: Well... would you ever have another one?

Weiss: This time I will be silent! Why, those fish have no idea that— Nier: Shhhhh! You're scaring them away!

Fyra: (Let me show you the way.)

Yonah: I'll even drink that medicine Popola made, even though it's really gross. Just... come back for me. Okay?

Yonah: I'll even drink that medicine Popola made, even though it's really gross. Just... come back for me. Okay?

Nier: Relationships are... complicated. I know it's hard to understand, but— Weiss: There is nothing in the world that Grimoire Weiss cannot understand! Nier: Yeah, yeah...

Weiss: Pah! Hussies are only good for breaking things, anyway. Kainé: Maybe I'll start with you.

A soldier of salt calling forth white death. He is Legion, the man who plunged the world into darkness.

Masked Person: (Do you like flowers?) Nier: Why? You want me to join a cult?

I am not a Shade. I am Kainé. Repeating this mantra in her mind, she slowly began digging through the rubble of her house, being careful to ignore a certain red-stained spot in the corner.

"Well, how was it? Did those bastards give you any trouble?" "It was kinda fun," said Kainé with a small smile. "No, seriously, it was." "It was fun, was it?" asked her grandmother in a voice which implied she believed anything but.

What's my favorite flower? The Lunar Tear, of course! Okay, one more question: Who do I love more than anyone? > .........

What should I do? >End Kainé's life and free her from her burden. >Sacrifice your own existence to make Kainé human again.

Nier: This is for you. Kainé: Lunar Tears...? Did you make this? Nier: It's just a little welcome-back gift. It's not much, I know.

Resident: Eh? Shaman fish? Oh, sure, sure. I could catch ya one of them without even tryin'! But why give a fellow a fish when ya can teach him? ...Here. Take this pole and give 'er a shot. You can catch shaman fish on the beach.

Weiss: And thus my headache. Kainé: Stop bitching and get moving.

Emil: Please don't go, Weiss...

Yonah: It's just... I don't want you to hate me because of this... this disease. Nier: A father could never hate his daughter.

Emil: I'm... still alive! I can feel my sister's power flowing! I... I can control my abilities now! Weiss: Yes, we're all quite pleased. Now get out here already!

Yonah: I couldn't find a Lunar Tear. I'm so sorry... I just wanted to get better... so you wouldn't have to worry anymore... I'm sorry...

Sechs: (What?! Are you saying that there may be Shades among my own people?) Nier: It's possible. You probably want to keep an eye out. Sechs: (Cursed Shades! I won't let you lay a single claw on my people! Shades don't stand a chance in this city as long as I'm around.)
