		Yamato: When do you try to arrest me? Haze: Right now, your operation is small enough that the OSIC wouldn't waste allocating resources on you. Yamato: And if the Seventh Moon grows? Haze: Well, if it gets big enough, it stops being a gang and starts being a cartel... That's usually when my superiors start thinking about having me kill you in your sleep.

	No	Infernus: Yamato: Don't worry, soon I'll be the only crime lord. Infernus: That so? Yamato: Watch and learn, bartender.
Ivy	No	Yamato: Mendoza fears you, gargoyle. Ivy: Yamato: I care what you do, not who you are.
		Yamato: Don't stab me in the back, gargoyle. Ivy: Yamato: Be sure you remember that. Ivy: Yamato: Then you're a fool.
		Ivy: Yamato: お前のみすぼらしい街など興味はなかったが、この手に収めるのも悪くはないかもしれんな。(I wasn't interested in your shabby town, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have it in my hands.) Ivy: Yamato: Noted.

		Yamato: You build war machines. McGinnis: Yamato: But mostly war machines.
Mirage	No	Yamato: You conduct yourself with integrity, Mirage. Mirage: Yamato: You proved my point.
		Yamato: You look uneasy. Mirage: Yamato: I'm a good friend to have, Mirage. Mirage: Yamato: You are a wise man.
Mo & Krill	Yes	Yamato: You will work for me. Krill: Our alliance is temporary, I'm afraid. Maurice and I value our independence. Yamato: That wasn't a question. Krill: Your bargaining posture leaves something to be desired. Yamato: I'm not bargaining. I'm threatening. Krill: How charming.
	No	Krill: Yamato: Touch it, and you die. Krill: Yamato: It better stay that way.

Venator	Yes	Yamato: You are the Vatican's killer, yes? Venator: Of sorts. Yamato: Good. Better you than someone with morals.
		Venator: How many heads have you taken with that sword? Yamato: I'm not psychotic enough to keep track, or weak enough to remember. Venator: Good answer.

Victor	No	Yamato: You are an abomination. Victor: Yamato: An affront to nature. Victor: Yamato: You should not be. Victor: Yamato: How dare you! I'll... Victor: Yamato: I don't have time for this.
Vyper	No	Vyper: Yamato: Silence worm, before I take your head.
		Vyper: Yamato: I ought to fall on my sword before I disgrace the Seventh Moon by working with you. Vyper: Yamato: I assure you I'm not.
		Yamato: You did time on Rikers, yes? Vyper: Yamato: So, you must know Molly Melanzo. It's very important I speak to her.
Wraith	No	Wraith: Yamato: The feeling's mutual, Wraith.
		Wraith: Yamato: What do you think we are doing? Wraith: Yamato: I don't need your friendship, you need mine.
		Yamato: Don't worry, Wraith. I won't take this opportunity to kill you. Wraith: Yamato: Because you never see it coming, which means you are weak, which means you are no use to me.
