Ghost In The Shell SAC OST


Motoko: Are you still using that revolver? You should stop worrying about the automatics jamming up.

Tosuga: I like my Matever.

Motoko: Well, effective stopping power is more important than your preference in guns. Since it's my ass on the line out there, use the Zastaber.

Tosuga: Yes, Major. There's something I've wanted to ask ever since I started. Why did you transfer a guy like me from the police force?

Motoko: Because we need a guy like you.

Tosuga: Huh?

Motoko: Number one, you're an honest cop. Number two, you've never stepped out of line. Three, you're a family man. And, except for the slight brain augmentation, your body is almost completely human. If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable. And there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple. Overspecialize and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.
