SCRIPT (episode 3; version 1.0; 9/9/1998)
OP:
Heroically, with bravery
Narrator: Once upon a time...
Narrator: ...there was a princess grieving over the deaths of her mother and father. Narrator: Before this princess appeared a prince traveling upon a white horse. Narrator: His appearance gallant and his smile gentle, Narrator: the prince enveloped the princess in the scent of roses and wiped away her tears. Prince: "Little lass bearing up alone under grief, Prince: please lose not thy strength and nobility when thou growest up." Prince: "As a token of this day, please retain this." Princess: "Pray, shall we meet once more?" Prince: "This ring will guide thee to me." Narrator: Was the ring from the prince meant as an engagement ring? Narrator: That part was good, Narrator: but because of the strength of her adoration for the prince, Narrator: the princess made up her mind to become a prince herself! Narrator: But is that really good for her? Title: On the Night of the Ball Utena: And I still have this ring here. Utena: So that encounter was real. Utena: The Duel Arena, the Rose Bride... Utena: Did this ring guide me to all of that? Anthy: Good morning, Utena-sama. Utena: I'm finished. Utena: Will we always have to have breakfast and dinner by ourselves like this? Anthy: It's nice and quiet. Utena: You're... Anthy: Yes? Utena: You're always by yourself in class, but do you really not have any friends? Anthy: I do, right here. Utena: Well, besides him... Utena: Stop calling me "Utena-sama," will you? Anthy: I shouldn't? girl: It's Utena-sama! girl: Good morning, Utena-sama! Utena: Hi, morning! girl: Utena-sama! girl: Good Morning! Utena: Morning! girl: 'Morning! Utena: I know, they call me Utena-sama, but... Utena: when you say it, it doesn't sound like a joke. Anthy: But I've been engaged to you, Utena-sama. Utena: I've told you to stop mentioning stuff like "engagement" and the "Rose Bride." Anthy: Nevertheless... Utena: Look, no matter how you look at me, I'm a regular wholesome girl. Utena: I'm only interested in wholesome boys, not a bride or stuff like that. Touga: Well, that's a relief. Touga: Hello! Touga: I'm Kiryuu Touga, Student Council President, and a wholesome boy. Anthy: Good morning. Utena: Are you two close? Touga: Oh, definitely. Touga: After all, she is the Rose Bride. Utena: I see. You're one of those Duel game freaks. Touga: Have you mentioned it to anyone? Utena: Who'd try to tell anyone about a stupid thing like that? Touga: Excellent. Touga: Well, you look gallant and beautiful even when you're angry, Touga: ...Tenjou... Utena-kun. Utena: Don't get too fresh with me, Mr. President. Touga: Take it easy. Let's be good friends. Touga: You and I... aren't total strangers, after all. Utena: Why... Why do you have that? Touga: Just so I could meet you, of course. Utena: He couldn't be...? Touga: I'd like us to be really good friends. Utena: He couldn't be...? touga: If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. touga: We are the chick; the egg is the world. touga: If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born. touga: Break the world's shell! touga,juri: For the sake of revolutionizing the world! Touga: Yesterday, Saionji fought Tenjou Utena for the second time, and was defeated. Miki: I've heard he's locked himself in his room since yesterday and hasn't come to school. Juri: I could care less about him. Juri: But Tenjou Utena... Is she trying to revolutionize the world like we are? Touga: No. Touga: Unlike us, she doesn't seem to receive the letters from the Ends of the World. Juri: If not, why does she bear the Rose Signet? Touga: Why, indeed? Wakaba: UUUUUUTENA! Wakaba: Utena! Utena! Utena-sama! Utena: Wakaba... That was very close... Wakaba: Was it? Wakaba: Oh, you were watching Touga-san! Wakaba: A-ha, I see... Utena: You see what? Wakaba: But you should give up on him. Utena: What? Wakaba: The rumor is that he's the biggest playboy in our academy, and he's reduced a lot of girls to tears. Utena: Such a playboy would never be a prince on a white horse... Wakaba: By the way, who'd you get for a roommate? Utena: Himemiya Anthy. Wakaba: Really? Wakaba: You got stuck with a lemon. Utena: By a lemon, you mean...? Wakaba: She's actually more popular among guys than she might seem, and I've heard bad rumors about her. Utena: Rumors? girl: It's your fault! You snared our Saionji-san and turned him into a loser! girl: He's been away from the Kendo Club, too! girl: What a dreadful girl! girl: Give us back our Saionji-san! girl: Say something! Nanami: What's going on here? girl: Nanami-sama! Nanami: Pray tell, what is all this commotion? Nanami: Given the circumstances, I'll have to report it to the Student Council. girl: Well, uh... girl: It's not what it seems. girl: Excuse us! Nanami: Are you alright? Anthy: Yes, thank you. You're... Nanami-san, they said it was? Nanami: Since you're so popular among the boys, you tend to make people jealous. Nanami: You're the most popular girl among the boys in my 7th grade class. Nanami: At any rate, you've been nominated for the Queen of the Ball this year. Anthy: Queen of the Ball? Nanami: This weekend, we will choose the Queen of this year's Ball, and you've been nominated. Nanami: You should come. It'll make the boys happy. Nanami: And besides, I've always wanted to be your friend, too, Himemiya-sempai. Anthy: Oh, no! You trapped me! Utena: Say, Himemiya... Anthy: Yes? Utena: You really don't have any friends? Anthy: I do, right here. Utena: Well, besides him, okay? boy: Himemiya Anthy-sama, Tenjou Utena-sama, I have deliveries for you. boy: On behalf of the executive committee, I present this dress to you as proof of your nomination for Queen of the Ball. boy: We, the executive committee, heartily hope that you will attend the ball wearing this dress this weekend. Utena: That's awesome. Anthy: What's yours, Utena-sama? boy: And, this box is for Utena-sama from President Kiryuu. Utena: What? For me? But I have nothing to do with it. I'm not invited. boy: There should be an invitation and a message card in the box. boy: Then, if you will excuse me... Utena: Yuck! What the heck is this? Utena: Does he think I'll go to the party wearing something like THIS? Anthy: You're not going? Utena: Nope. Not interested. Anthy: Then, neither will I. Utena: How come? You're nominated for Queen of the Ball, aren't you? Anthy: But I feel it's hard for me to deal with a place where there are so many people. Anthy: Somehow, they all start to look the same, and that frightens me. Anthy: Now, it's your turn, Chuchu. Utena: Well, YOU should go. You OUGHT to go! You need friends! Utena: Well, you count, but... You should make a lot more friends! Anthy: If you insist, Utena-sama. card: On the night of the Ball --- Kiryuu Touga Utena: What in the world is he thinking anyway? A-ko: I wonder, I wonder... do you know what I wonder? B-ko:: Ma'am, did you know... B-ko: ...the whole town is talking about the upcoming ball? A-ko: Calling it a "ball" sounds nice enough, but it's really just a place for hunting boys. B-ko: Young ladies today are so low. A-ko&B-ko: How shameless! Nanami: Guess who? Touga: Stop it, Nanami. Nanami: It's such a lovely evening, isn't it? Onii-sama... Touga: You're such a baby, little sister. MC: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's Ball. MC: We hold this Ball to celebrate a lovely spring evening with nature's blessings. MC: We also have a contest to choose the Queen of the Ball. MC: We beg you for your cooperation. girl: Utena-sama came in drag!? girl: How cute! girl: She looks gallant in a guy's uniform, but she looks perfect in a dress, too! girl: Lovely, Utena-sama! Nanami: How do you like it? Since you're always talking about Himemiya-san lately, I've gone ahead and invited her. Touga: Tenjou... Utena. Utena: I knew I shouldn't have worn this. Anthy: I'm sorry, Utena-sama. Anthy: You look like you're embarrassing yourself in it for me. Utena: "Embarrassing?" Really? Nanami: It's so nice to have you here, Himemiya-sempai. Anthy: Nanami-san. Nanami: This dress looks really wonderful on you. Anthy: Thank you. Nanami: Since you're nominated, please come this way. Utena: A-ha, Himemiya does have a friend. Utena: Well, besides you, of course. Touga: Wonderful! Touga: Even better than I imagined! Utena: I don't know what you imagined, but this kind of thing doesn't suit me. Touga: What are you saying? YOU are the true queen of our academy! Touga: I'd be glad if I could have a dance with you in that dress. Touga: I think we'd make a photogenic couple. girl: Nanami-sama, she's come wearing the dress we sent her. girl: It really suits her. Nanami: I will humiliate anyone who tries to steal my brother away from me. Waiter: Oh, I apologize, miss! Anthy: It's all right. Nanami: My, my... You soaked the special dress which I so graciously sent you. Nanami: It has a little problem when it gets wet. Touga: So, let's dance. Utena: Hold on there. Utena: First off, this isn't my kind of party. Touga: If not, why did you come? Utena: 'Cause... Touga: 'Cause...? Utena: You might be... Touga: I might be... what? Utena: Himemiya! Touga: Is this Nanami's doing? Touga: What is she up to? Right when things were getting good, too... Utena: Himemiya! Nanami: What's that? Anthy: Utena-sama! Utena: Let's dance, Himemiya! Nanami: And everything was going according to plan... Who IS that girl? Touga: Nanami! Touga: Don't carry your mischief too far. Nanami: Whatever do you mean? Nanami: By the way, who's that girl dancing with Himemiya-san? Touga: She's Tenjou Utena. Nanami: Tenjou Utena... Touga: Yeah, she's something else. Touga: But how could she throw away the dress I sent her? Nanami: My brother gave her a dress? Nanami: HER?! ED: Missing truth and forever ED: Kissing love and true your heart ED: Embrace me with your true arms ED: The key to open up tomorrow is reality ED: I want to keep on destroying lies. ED: Even if we keep on talking, ED: you still won't ever see. ED: Excuses really suit adults ED: who hang on to old stories. ED: Because unchosen angels ED: have no need for wings.

Utena: He's a beautiful boy ranked nationally in both piano and fencing. Anthy: My... Utena: He's a super-genius who even takes some college curriculum in the seventh grade. Anthy: Amazing. Utena: It seems that he's the only one in the Student Council opposed to the Duels. Utena: More than that, he's offering to be Himemiya's tutor. Anthy: I'll do my best to make him comfortable. Utena: Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena: The Sunny Garden - Prelude Anthy: The Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE Utena:
You really don't have any friends?
Anthy: I do, right here. Utena: Well, besides him, okay? It is confirmed that Chuchu is a he. Utena: I know, they call me Utena-sama, but... Utena: when you say it, it doesn't sound like a joke. Read the translator's note for episode 1. The way Anthy uses "-sama" she sounds over-respectful or too formal as if she were Utena's servant. The way the girls use "-sama" is a jest. Sometimes young girls in anime and manga call people by "-sama" to indicate how big a crush they have on the one spoken about. |
