Plot: In the year Universal Century 0079, humans have colonized the area of space lying in between the Earth and the moon. However the ambitious Zabi family, rulers of the Duchy of Zeon (the grouping of colonies furthest from the earth) has sparked a war. Within the first week of this fratricidal conflict, one half of all humans have been decimated. The Duchy, within a month, has invaded and occupied half of the Earth's surface, thanks to the Duchy's ultimate weapon, 60-foot tall, heavily armed and highly maneuverable machines known as "Mobile Suits." The only thing that can save the Federal Forces of Earth is their top-secret "V" Project, based on the loyalist colony Side 7. The aim of the V Project was to build their Mobile Suits for the Federal Forces. As the film opens, Zeon attacks Side 7, sending its top ace, Char Aznable to stop the V Project. 15-year-old Amuro Ray, the son of the chief researcher to the V Project, is struggling to get his friends and neighbors to safety when he runs across an empty mobile suit. This is the Gundam, the sole remaining prototype mobile suit. Firing it up, Amuro becomes an ace almost immediately, killing two Zakus (the standard Zeon MS) with little effort. From there on in, Amuro is drafted into the Federal Forces as are other residents of the colony: Frau Bow, Amuro's neighbor and semi-girlfriend, Kai Shiden, a young photographer who would just as soon stay clear of combat, and Sayla Mass, a woman who seems to have an inordinate interest in Lt. Char Aznable. Their mission: escort the prototype battleship White Base and the Gundam within to the Federal Forces' HQ on Earth. Will they succeed?

Quotes:

Narrator: It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die. 9 months ago, the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth, called Side 3, proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation. Initial fighting lasted over one month and saw both sides lose half their respective populations. People were horrified by the indescribable atrocities that had been committed in the name of independence. Eight months had passed since the rebellion began. They were at a stalemate.

Amuro Ray: Sorry, Lalah, I... I still have a place I can come home to. And I could never be happier. I'm sure you understand. We can be together anytime we want, Lalah.

Narrator: Universal Century 0080. As the sound of battle begin to fade away, the Federation and the Republic of Zeon sign an armistice, signifying an end to the brutal war. the new dawn brings with it the promise of peace for all mankind... for now.

Quotes:

Professor Moriarty: Doctor Watson, Mr. Holmes is convinced that I am some sort of criminal mastermind of the most depraved order. I know he is a great and good man. All England resounds with his praise. But in my case he fosters a ghastly illusion and I come to you as his friend rather than turning the matter over to my solicitor.

Sigmund Freud: Who am I, that your friends should wish us to meet?::Sherlock Holmes: Beyond the fact that you are a brilliant Jewish physician who was born in Hungary and studied for a while in Paris, and that certain radical theories of yours have alienated the respectable medical community so that you have severed your connections with various hospitals and branches of the medical fraternity, beyond this I can deduce little. You're married, with a child of... five. You enjoy Shakespeare and possess a sense of honour.

Sherlock Holmes: I never guess: it is an appalling habit, destructive to the logical faculty. A private study is an ideal place for observing facets of a man's character. That the study belongs to you exclusively is evident from the dust: not even the maid is permitted here, else she would scarcely have ventured to let matters come to this pass.::Sigmund Freud: Go on.::Sherlock Holmes: Very well. Now, when a man collects books on a subject, they're usually grouped together, but notice, your King James Bible, your Book of Mormon, and Koran are separate, across the room in fact, from your Hebrew Bible and Talmud, which sit on your desk. Now these books have a special importance for you not connected with a general study of religion, obviously. The nine-branched candelabra on your desk confirms my suspicion that you are of the Jewish faith; it is called a menorah, is it not?::Sigmund Freud: Yah.::Sherlock Holmes: That you studied medicine in Paris is to be inferred from the great number of medical texts in that language. Where else should a German use French textbooks but in France, and who but a brilliant German could understand the complexities of medicine in a foreign tongue? That you're fond of Shakespeare is to be deduced from this book, which is lying face downwards. The fact that you have not adjusted the volume suggests to my mind that you no doubt intended referring to it again in the near future. (Hm, not my favorite play.) The absence of dust on the cover would tend to confirm this hypothesis. That you're a physician is evident when I observe you maintain a consulting room. Your separation from various societies is indicated by these blank spaces surrounding your diploma, clearly used at one time to display additional certificates. Now, what can it be that forces a man to remove these testimonials to his success? Why, only that he has ceased to affiliate himself with these various societies and hospitals and so forth, and why do this, having once troubled to join them all? It is possible that he became disenchanted with one or two of them, but NOT likely that his disillusionment extended to all. Rather, I postulate it is THEY who became disenchanted with YOU, doctor, and asked you to resign, from all of them. Why, I've no idea. But some position you have taken, evidently a medical one, has discredited you in their eyes. I take the liberty of inferring a theory of some sort, too radical or shocking to gain ready acceptance in current medical thinking. Your wedding ring tells me of your marriage, your Balkanized accent hints Hungary or Moravia, the toy soldier on the floor here ought, I think, to belong to a... small boy of five? Have I omitted anything of importance?::Sigmund Freud: My sense of honour.::Sherlock Holmes: Oh, it is implied by the fact that you have removed the plaques from the societies to which you no longer belong. In the privacy of your study, only you would know the difference.

[as Holmes' boat pulls away]::Dr. John H. Watson: But how will you live?::Sherlock Holmes: When my arm is better, you would do well to follow the concert career of a violinist... named Sigerson!::Dr. John H. Watson: But your readers - my readers - what will I tell them?::Sherlock Holmes: Anything you like! Tell them I was murdered by my mathematics tutor; they'll never believe you in any case!

[Last lines; after meeting unexpectedly on the boat]::Lola Deveraux: Journeys alone are always so tedious, don't you find? 'Specially when they are long.::Sherlock Holmes: Will this be a long journey?::Lola Deveraux: That all depends. But I do think it will seem shorter if there are two of us... don't you?::Sherlock Holmes: I hope it will not seem too short.

Sigmund Freud: These are the most intelligent horses in the world, and they have been trained TO KILL!

Sherlock Holmes: [stopping Watson abruptly] Mind the vanilla extract!

Sherlock Holmes: No, Watson! The Queen wouldn't like it!

Station Master: This is the Dresden local.::Dr. John H. Watson: [pulls pistol from his coat] It is now the Orient Express.

Quotes:

[first lines]::Japanese radio propagandist [Ch.1]: On this glorious day, the first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, Japan must remember that victory depends on more then winning or losing battles. Science and industry are equally important as the imperial army and navy. Our scientists in their laboratories must develop better weapons. Our industrialists must improve their manufacturing processes...

Lucky Kamber: I don't care about spies. They won't always be customers, while wanted men - that's another matter.::Nabura: Ah, so. Your precious criminals who can stay paying you head tax, of course, because you have no extradition laws.::Lucky Kamber: This island isn't a nation; it doesn't pretend to be. It's a business and now you're starting to cut into my profits - and that's what I don't like.::Nabura: Everyone must sacrifice in times of war. Japan has use for men like Drag Dorgan.

[an American agent is stabbed in the back]::Lynn Moore: He didn't have a chance, Ah Fong.::Ah Fong: Who does... with Nabura

Phil Corrigan: I found out something about this little tub. My only chance now is to win a bet with myself. I'm gambling that you're as good an American as any of the boys who are dying on the battlefield.

Jack Roberts [Chs. 1-2]: Hey, what are you guys doing in those Nazi uniforms?::First Nazi: It's time you learned you are working for the Axis.::Second Nazi: You are on a German ship; you are going to be put on a Japanese submarine.::First Nazi: Our captain wishes to pay military respect to our ally. Is your luggage ready?::Phil Corrigan: I think its about time for the United States to take over don't you think, Roberts?

Takahari: And why, please, is Bach watching Miss Moore?::Nabura: I told her the address to test her loyalty. Nobody can betray us but her.::Takahari: But she has been to Japan. She broadcasts our propaganda!::Nabura: Never trust a quisling.

Solo: If Lucky was smart, he'd get what X-9 and Nabura are after, then threaten each of them that he'll give it to the other.::Marker: Maybe you're right at that, Solo.::Solo: That's not unusual, Marker.

[as he blindfolds Nabura]::Ah Fong: The eyes of a woman are deadlier than her tongue.

Papa Pierre Dupray: When the mystery she is explained, she is always like this - simple.

Ah Fong: All the Japs are gone, but not quite the way Nabura expected.
