This is the dialog from one of my favorite scenes in anime. It comes from Naruto, obviously:
Naruto: “Have you awakened yet, eh?
Obviously you haven’t! Now I’ll really break you apart, immobolize you, and take you with me!!! Sasuke!”
<long pause>
Sasuke: “Shut up…
What could you, with no parents or siblings, understand about me?
What the hell could you, who was alone from the start, understand about me, eh?!”
We suffer because of our bonds!
You would never understand the devistation, and how painful it feels to lose them!”
<long pause>
Naruto: “It’s true I don’t understand how it is between real parents and children, or real siblings.
But… when I’m with Iruka-sensei, I wonder, ‘Is this what it’s like to have a father?’
And when I’m with you, I wonder, ‘Is this what it’s like to have a brother?’”
<pause>
Sasuke: “Why Naruto?
Why do you go that far for someone like me?”
Naruto: “Because to me, this is one of the first bonds I’ve ever had.
That’s why I’m going to stop you!”
Sasuke”: “You’re too late, Naruto.
You’re too late now.
I can’t go back.
Come, Naruto!
In that case, I’ll just have to sever that bond!”
Naruto: “Sever it, Huh?
Then why did you put on the forehead protector now after all this time?”
Sasuke: “I’ll admit it.
You’re strong.
That is because, like me, you know the pain of being alone.
And that pain is what makes people stronger.
That is why, by severing that tie. I will gain even greater strength.
Starting now I’ll fight you evenly.
However, you can’t put even a single scratch on my forehead protector.
That hasn’t changed.”
