1. Enamored in a silly or sentimental way. 2. Feebly sentimental; gushy.

definitions for spoony.

it appears that he used the words in the context that Edward was talking about how he loved Anna so much and wouldn't fight so Tellah called him that.

lovely!

It wasn't in the Japanese script.. it was a 'mislocalisation' or a 'just plain dumb word choice' - it's not a mistranslation because you can't translate something if it doesnt exist to begin with

Not a dumb word choice . . .

We're still chatting about it some 10 years later, aren't we? Isn't it one of the most memorable lines in the game? I think it was kind of cute. ^_^

And then of course, there's that other great line...

"Call me a treasure hunter or I'll rip your lungs out!"

It's certainly my favorite quote, but then... I've always had a soft spot for Locke. ^.^

Fav Locke Quotes

Hmmm, that is a good Locke quote, but my fav has always been "That's TREASURE HUNTER!"

Then again, considering how similar they are, I suppose this post is all semantic nonsense anyways.

You and your thieves . . .

Ripping out lungs is hardly a COUTH thing to do. ^_^

I think that Karyl in "Tales of Destiny" summed it up with his Samba-- "YEAAAAIIIEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--AAAAAAAAAHH!!"

--Darylohki, who thinks that to understand above quote, one should rent the game and HEAR it!! Ooooh, the same guy that did Spike's voice in Cowboy Bebop can do a MEAN bard-- and who WOULDN'T wanna hear Seki Tomokazu (voice of Chichiri, Van, Junpei, Ken, and MANY others) do Stahn's battle cries??
