a neat observation
In the Hellsing anime, Rip van Winkle says "Tinker, tailor, solider, sailor; my bullet punishes all without distinction!". In the manga, her line is "my warhead makes no distinction between riffraff".
I thought this was quite a neat play on words in the anime (which obviously came later), although it might well have been unintentional, in that "all without distinction" can denote either not distinguishing between riffraff (when it comes to punishing 'em), or it can denote the riffraff themselves, which still makes grammatical sense but changes the meaning of the line slightly. I like it. =)
