Paprika Quotes

Critique of Selfishness in Scientific Pursuits

Doctor Atsuko "Paprika" Chiba: (to Tokita) You guys really are alike. You and your bud Himuro. You were so selfishly wrapped up in what you want to do that you ignore what needs to be done. You never coded the DC Mini. That was just irresponsible. It cost lives. Don't you get it? Of course not. Not much gets through all that protective fat, now does it? Here's what does: "What a scientist"! "He's so amazing"! It's like a really bad joke. What good is a scientist to mankind if he doesn't care about people? Hmm? If you want to be the king of geeks with your bloated ego, then just keep on doing only what pleases you. Go ahead. Indulge in your freakish masturbation, because that's what you're good at!
