- Future Ataru: Damn you, Lum! All I did was create a harem. Although, to get money for the harem, I did sell all your stuff. But that wasn't enough, so I tricked you into working as well. And the room was small, I made you sleep on the roof, and I didn't feed you either. But... but... just because of that, you left me?
- Ataru: Of course she did, you bastard!
- [Whacks him with mallet.]
- Lum: Darling, how do you account for this?
- Ataru: Huh? What?
- Lum: There's no future where we're married to one another! How do you explain this?
- Ataru: How the hell should I know? I'm... I'm suffering too!
- Lum: Just because there's no future in which you're master of a harem?
- Ataru: I'm not that stupid! I gave up on that foolish dream ages ago. I've been dreaming... of a much humbler future than that... even just a one-room apartment, with Lum.
- Lum: What... Darling!
- Ataru: ...and Shinobu, and Sakura, and Ran, and Ryuunosuke, and Ryoko, and Asuka, and Benten, and Oyuki. Such a... such a humble future, is what I've been dreaming of!
- Lum: What's humble about that?
- Ataru: All I did was ask for her address and phone number, hold her hand, put my arm around her, and ask her out! That... that's all I did!
- Inaba: But, I can't just let you go, I have to reward you somehow.
- Shinobu: I don't need a reward.
- Inaba: I know! As a reward, I'll go on a date with you!
- Shinobu: Now hold on...
- Inaba: No need to be shy. C'mon, how about it?
- Shinobu: I said NO!
- [Punches him into the sky.]
- Shinobu: Do you understand THAT, you pervert?
