SCRIPT (episode 7; version
1.0; 9/9/1998)
OP: Heroically, with bravery
OP: I'll go on with my life,
OP: just a long, long time.
OP: But if the two of us should get split up
OP: by whatever means,
OP: let go of me,
OP: Take my revolution.
Title: Utena ~ La Fillette Revolutionnaire
OP: In the sunny garden, we held each other's
hands,
OP: drew close together and soothed each other
with the words,
OP: "Neither of us will ever fall in love again."
OP: Everytime
OP: Into this photograph of us
OP: smiling cheek to cheek,
OP: I took a bit of loneliness,
OP: and crammed it inside.
OP: Revolution!
OP: Even in my dreams, even through my tears,
OP: even though I'm being hurt,
OP: reality is approaching now, frantically.
OP: What I want now is to find out
OP: just where I belong,
OP: and my self-worth, up through today.
OP: Heroically, I'll throw away
OP: my clothes 'til I'm nude,
OP: like the roses dancing all around me, whirling
free.
OP: But if the two of us should get split up
OP: by whatever means,
OP: I swear to you, I will change the world.
juri: See, I have no choice but to give up.
juri: After all, there are no such things in
this world as miracles.
juri: Next!
juri: Next!
juri: Next!
miki: It was amazing of you to beat that many
people in a row.
miki: No one's a match for you anymore, Juri-san.
juri: So what would I possibly gain?
juri: Would I break the world's shell?
Title: Juri's Unfulfillment
otoko: Arisugawa-kun,
otoko: I appreciate you Student Council members
moderating last week's area study meeting.
otoko: All the other teachers were impressed,
saying it was better than recent years.
otoko: All of your Student Council activities
will remain as our academy's tradition.
juri: Thank you, sir.
otoko: Say, why don't we talk about the Student
Council's future activities over lunch?
juri: Yes, sir.
otoko: Wait here for a moment.
onnna: You really don't follow the Academy Regulations.
onnna: Where is it written in the regulations
that you could bring pets to school?!
utena: I didn't bring him, he just brought my
lunch box for me.
utena: Is that against the regulations?
onnna: Having a monkey bring what you've forgot...
onnna: is too stupid a problem to be in the
regulations!
onnna: Do you understand, Tenjou Utena-san!?
utena: When you put it that way...
onnna: What's this rebellious attitude?
onnna: Now I won't forgive y...
onnna: Hey! Hold it!
utena: Oh, well...
juri: Hi there.
onnna: I said, hold it!
juri: Are you Tenjou Utena?
utena: You're a member of the Student Council,
aren't you?
onnna: Hold it!
juri: I'd like to talk to you a little bit.
onnna: Utena-san, you help too!
onnna: Hold it!
utena: Sorry, I can't spare the time just now...
onnna: All right, a dead end. Utena-san, shut
the door.
utena: Y- Yes, ma'am.
otoko: Sorry to keep you waiting. Shall we go?
juri: Vice-Principal...
juri: That lady teacher you've been looking
for
juri: just went in that consulting room over
there.
otoko: Lady teacher?
juri: Oh, come on. You've just told me...
juri: ...that you have to talk with her about
student guidance over lunch.
otoko: Arisugawa-kun, what are you talking about?
otoko: You and I are going for lunch...
juri: I do not repeat myself. That is all.
onnna: Really? I'm so honored, asked by Vice-Principal.
otoko: Understood, so hurry up!
onnna: Oh, just a minute. I've got to fix my
make-up.
otoko: I couldn't care less! Just hurry up!
onnna: Tenjou-san, I'll be right back, so stay
here!
juri: Well, it looks like you have a little
time now.
utena: Whew, what a relief. That's what I'd
call a miracle.
utena: I've often heard rumors about you, even
in junior high.
utena: You're the captain of the Fencing Club,
utena: and a brilliant Student Council member
that even the teachers defer to...
utena: But the truth is that you're extremely
wicked,
utena: and anyone who knows your true colors
keeps at least ten meters away.
juri: As if I'm a wild animal...
utena: I don't know if this is true or not,
utena: but even teachers are kicked out of the
academy, once they get on your blacklist.
juri: Heh...
juri: Looks like one shouldn't underestimate
the intelligence networks of the underclassmen.
Utena: So, the rumors about you are true?
juri: Who knows?
juri: I've often heard rumors that you are quite
skillful with the sword.
utena: Oh no, not really. I don't really like
swordfighting, myself.
utena: Speaking of which, since you're a Student
Council member,
utena: then you're after the Rose Bride, too,
aren't you?
juri: Do you know the reason why they're after
the Rose Bride?
juri: It seems that whoever is engaged to the
Rose Bride...
juri: ...will obtain the power of miracles,
the power to revolutionize the world.
utena: That's pretty cool.
utena: Then, since I'm engaged to her right
now, the miracle power belongs to me.
utena: That'll be convenient for finals.
utena: I could ace all my tests without even
studying!
utena: Are you all really serious about...
utena: ...doing stupid things like fighting
Duels over Himemiya?
juri: You're right. Fighting over the Rose Bride
is stupid.
shiori: Believe in a miracle, that your wish
come true.
juri: No, there can be no miracles.
utena: We seem to be on the same wavelength.
anaunnsu: Tenjou Utena-san, report immediately
to the student consulting room. Repeat...
utena: Good grief... that teacher won't give
up.
utena: Anyway, I'm glad there's someone in the
Student Council who understands me .
annshi-: Uhm... Would you mind if I gave you
this?
juri: Don't be conceited.
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!
chart: The man fighting for love

touga: Going in turn, Juri or I should be next.
miki: What? Including Juri-san?
touga: Of course. She also has a seat here to
fight Duels.
miki: Well, sure she's eligible, and skilled,
too.
miki: But she doesn't have a motive for fighting,
does she?
touga: Sure she does.
touga: She wants to disprove the power of the
Rose Bride, the power of miracles.
miki: What? Is that true?
juri: Who knows? But at the least I've got to
study for finals on my own.
miki: Huh? What's that mean?
touga: But are you sure you want to disprove
the miracle power?
touga: If the power to revolutionize the world
touga: is the one that will fulfill your unrequited
feeling...
touga: if you don't have to give up on your
romance yet...
touga: then do you still want to disprove the
power of the Rose Bride?
miki: Are you in love with someone, Juri-san?
miki: An unrequited feeling is hard to bear.
juri: Yes, I was in love.
shounenn: You've got me.
shounenn: I give up. I'm beaten completely.
shounenn: You'd be a good match for even high
school guys, Juri.
juri: Thank you.
shiori: Believe in a miracle, that your wish
come true.
juri: But I knew... that this romance would
never be fulfilled.
juri: "Believe in a miracle, that your wish
come true."
juri: That was her favorite phrase.
shiori: He doesn't say it, but he seems to be
thinking of you the most, Juri-san.
shiori: But I couldn't help but steal him from
you.
shiori: Even though I'm no match for you at
anything,
shiori: at least my feeling for him is...
shiori: Did you know?
shiori: Juri-san is in love with someone.
shiori: But...
shiori: ...it isn't you.
shiori: So, I don't regret stealing him from
you...
shiori: ...because that's what I hoped for from
my heart.
shiori: Believe in a miracle, that your wish
come true.
shiori: You must hate me for being like this.
juri: Thank you for your letter. I'm more than
happy to know you're doing fine.
juri: As I read each word of your letter,
juri: I can't help but realize how the days
have passed.
juri: Back then, the three of us did everything
together.
juri: It was really fun.
juri: But now, when I look at the two of you,
beaming with happiness,
juri: I feel nostalgic and envious...
utena: There, there...
utena: What a pain, crying at this hour...
utena: Oh, there, there...
utena: Chuchu, please, go to sleep already.
I'm really sleepy myself.
utena: Huh? Arisugawa-sempai?
utena: I thought so.
juri: Oh, it's you.
utena: Since you're not wearing your usual uniform,
I almost didn't recognize you.
juri: Really?
utena: You really look like a supermodel.
utena: You look gallant in your uniform,
utena: but everyone would be surprised if they
saw you this ladylike.
utena: So, why are you here by yourself this
late?
juri: You even wear that at night, huh?
utena: Yeah...
juri: Why are you always dressed like a boy?
utena: Well, how should I put it...
utena: To tell the truth, I'm influenced by
my prince.
juri: Prince?
utena: When I was a little kid, I met a prince.
utena: And he said "I want that you should never
lose your strength and nobility."
utena: And then, as a reminder of our encounter,
he gave me this.
utena: "It will lead you to where I'll be,"
he said.
utena: He looked so cool to me.
utena: I want to see him again.
utena: I mean, I want to become as close to
him as I can.
utena: And so, I wear this.
utena: Oh, sorry for telling you strange stories
like this...
utena: However, I don't believe the Student
Council
utena: about the Rose Bride or the power of
miracles, but...
utena: How should I put it... I can believe
in the fate between him and me.
utena: If you call it a miracle, maybe it is
one, but...
utena: Sempai...?
juri: Your Rose Signet, throw this ring away!
juri: It's disgusting! Your so-called nobility
is to copycat as someone you love told you!
juri: Yes, fighting over the Rose Bride
juri: is just as stupid as your sentiment to
your prince!
juri: However, to be qualified for that, you
must be truly noble!
juri: The Rose Signet doesn't suit a girl the
likes of you!
utena: No!
utena: This is my one and only tie with him.
I won't lose it, no matter what!
juri: Then show me what you call a "miracle!"
My sword will show its true nature!

Bko: Good thing I've caught a cold. I was thinkin'
an outing's a drag.
Bko: Why should someone my age have to go to
a zoo?
Bko: Besides, the animals don't seem willing.
Bko: To begin with, that zoo doesn't have great
animals, ya know...
Bko: Doves,
Bko: wolves,
Bko: deer,
Bko: ostriches,
Bko: giraffes...
Bko: They've got to be kiddin'!
Bko: Can't they show any stuff like pandas?
Ako: So, you wanted to go that badly.

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE
Title:
Juri's Unfulfillment
The original Japanese title "Mihatenu Juri" sounds very strange.
The word "mihatenu" cannot be used this way, or at least we have
never heard. The original meaning of "mihatenu" is "not seeing to
the end", but it is only used in the following stock expressions:
- "mihatenu yume" [unfinished dream] - means
a dream the end of which you missed to see because you woke
up before that.
- "mihatenu yume" [unfulfilled dream] - means
an impossible dream to fulfill but you still wish, or, a dream
you've long been trying to fulfill, but you still haven't.
It seems that the audience are expected to think
what the intended meaning of the title is.
The chart on the white board at the student council meeting:
DS: Nyx
DS: Erebus
DS: Uranus
DS: Thanatos
The original Japanese "nikokusu" (for "Nyx") is a typo. It has
to be: "nyukusu." The katakana for "ko" and small "yu" look pretty
much alike.
