Erin Fitzgerald: Polka

Quotes 

• Polka : Frederic, you said before that this whole world is all just a dream you're having, right? But if you're in your own dream, how can you be so completely positive that what's happening is only a dream. And if what you're experiencing in the dream is so realistic to you, how you can even tell what's actually the real world? And to prove my point, you didn't read my mind earlier. You were wrong. I was thinking about leaving Tenuto. I want to go out into the world and live my own life, even if it only exists inside your dream. I don't know how much time I have left to live, but I want to live what's left of my life in a positive way, bringing happiness to others. I just want to help people somehow.

• Frederic Francois Chopin : This place used to be much more beautiful. You have a heart that sees the world with open eyes, don't you?

  Polka : Who... who are you? And what are you doing out here this late at night?

  Frederic Francois Chopin : [not listening]  Everything in the world slowly fades with time. It is very difficult to remain still and keep things exactly as they are in just one particular moment. But because everything shifts only a little bit at a time, no one really notices the change.

• Frederic Francois Chopin : Huh? What is that thing?

  [a glowing agogo bounced towards Allgretto's group] 

  Allegretto : Hm. I beg it's one of those agogos that girl was talking about before.

  Beat : It's kind of weird. Look, Retto. It's glowing.

  Polka : Agogo, thank you for saving me.

  Beat : I've never seen one of those before. Oh, I know! I'll take a picture of it.

  [just as Beat takes out his camera, the agogo vanishes] 

  Polka : Where did it go?

  Allegretto : [slightly frustrated]  Great job, Beat. You scared it off by taking that stupid thing out! I wished I could've touched it.

  Beat : [unhappy]  Gee, I'm sorry, Retto.

• [sometimes says it when Polka levels up in the end of a battle] 

  Polka : I can do it!

• [first lines] 

  Polka : [Xbox 360 version]  I must do this. And it's for the person who means the most to me. My life is nothing compared to his. Doing this is easy if it's for him.

  [She closes her eyes and launches herself backward, off a cliff. She is then shown falling slowly] 

  Polka : Thank you, everyone. I know it didn't last very long, but really, this was the best time I've ever had in my life.

  [She opens her eyes] 

  Polka : If I blow him a kiss, I wonder, will it reach him up there? No, I guess it won't.

• Allegretto : [PlayStation 3 release]  Why? Why couldn't I do anything for her What could I have done to change things?

  [begins to cry] 

  Allegretto : Does this mean dying was the only thing Polka could do? There wasn't any way we could save her? Why did Polka, of all people, have to suffer like that? What the hell is wrong with this world?

  [stands up and raises his arms] 

  Allegretto : Damn it!

  [strikes the ground with both fists, then turns to Frederic] 

  Allegretto : You! You come barging into our world out of nowhere, then just leave when you get tired of it! This is supposed to be your dream, right? Well then, why couldn't you do anything? No. That's not it. It isn't a dream at all. It's real. And I don't know what, but I have to do *something*!

  Frederic Francois Chopin : That's true. Perhaps this is no longer just a dream.

  [gets up and everyone turns to him] 

  Frederic Francois Chopin : Have I awakened? At long last...

  Beat : [backing away slightly]  F-Frederic?

  Frederic Francois Chopin : [looking around and observing that the scenery around him has not changed]  Why? The dream was at an end. Oh, no. No, it can't be. Not Polka.

  [stares at his hands in confused shock] 

  Polka : [falling into darkness]  Thank you, everyone. I know it didn't last very long, but really, this was the most fun I've ever had in my life. If I blow him a kiss, I wonder, will it reach him up there? I hope so. I really do.
