SCRIPT
(episode 9; 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.
girl: I hear there's going to be a duel in
the kendo dojo!
girl: Touga-sempai and Saionji-sempai again?
Utena: A duel?
girl: Yeah, go for it!
girl: Dreamy!
girl: Oh, Touga-sama, look over here!
girl: Dreamy! Cool!
girl: Get him, Saionji-sempai!
girl: Sempai!
girl: Hooray! Hooray! Touga-sama!
girl: Get him! Get him, Saionji!
boy: Shh, they're starting.
Utena: Heh... he's pretty good.
Utena: Guess he's not just some Casanova,
after all.
Utena: Looks like Mr. President won this one.
girl: Saionji-sempai!
girl: Touga-sempai is the greatest!
Girls: Oh, you are my prince!
Utena: Prince?
girl: He's so cool!
Touga: Hey, now...
Touga: Don't look at me so grimly... my dear
friend.
Saionji: Who's your dear friend?
Touga: How heartless...
Touga: Aren't you my one and only friend?
Saionji: Enough!
Saionji: I'll NOT be defeated by the likes
of you!
Title: The Castle Said To Hold Eternity
Saionji: What a pain in the ass you are, hanging
around Anthy all the time!
Utena: Look who's talking!
Utena: Stubborn people are the most hated,
Sempai.
Saionji: So it's you, Tenjou Utena.
Saionji: Don't get carried away.
Saionji: I will defeat you in the next duel
and take Anthy back.
Saionji: Shut up!
Utena: You, beat me?
Utena: You just got beaten by Kiryuu Touga
a little while ago.
Saionji: You were watching?
Saionji: I've fought hundreds of duels with
him over the past 10 years.
Saionji: Today was just luck.
Utena: Wow... you've known each other that
long?
Saionji: I will not lose to him.
Saionji: And I will take possession of the
Rose Bride.
Utena: Do you really love Himemiya?
Utena: If you do, why are you trying to win
her by dueling?
Saionji: Only by winning her in a duel can
I defeat him.
Utena: By him, you mean Touga?
Utena: Is this just some rivalry with Touga?
Utena: Are you just using Himemiya to get
at him?
Saionji: You wouldn't understand even if I
told you.
Saionji: With Anthy by my side, I will gain
something eternal.
Utena: Eternal?
Saionji: That's right.
Saionji: She told me that she, too, wants
to obtain eternity.
Saionji: I told you it was gonna rain.
Saionji: That's why I told you to stop at
the 10th match.
Touga: Oh, well. There isn't anyone good enough
to practice with besides you.
Saionji: Well... I guess...
Saionji: What is it, Touga?
Touga: It's a funeral.
Saionji: I wonder who died...
Man1: Hey, you there!
Man1: You two haven't seen a girl about your
age around here, have you?
Touga: What happened?
Man1: There was a girl who lost her parents
in an accident today.
Man1: She disappeared when we weren't looking.
Touga: Well, we haven't seen her.
Man1: I see... OK, thanks.
Man2: She couldn't have been spirited away,
could she?
Man1: That's a pretty stupid thing to say.
Man1: Let's look around here a little longer.
Saionji: Talking about being 'spirited away'
in this day and age...
Saionji: Touga...
Saionji: Hey!
Saionji: Are we allowed to go in here?
Saionji: Hey, wait!
Touga: It was three coffins, all right.
Touga: I could see them through a crack in
the doors back then.
Saionji: What?
Saionji: What are you doing?
Saionji: Touga!
Saionji: Hey, stop it. Don't do that. Stop
it.
Saionji: STOP IT!!!
Utena: Don't open it.
Utena: Please, don't open it.
Saionji: She's been hiding in a place like
this?
Touga: Everyone's been looking for you.
girl: Are you going to tell someone I'm in
here?
Touga: No, I won't tell anyone.
Saionji: Hey...
Touga: I'm always on the girl's side...
Touga: ...because I am a gentleman.
Saionji: Still, why have you been hiding in
a place like this?
girl: Because this is where I belong.
Saionji: What do you mean?
girl: There are coffins lined up next to mine,
right?
girl: My father and mother died today.
girl: And there was one coffin left over.
girl: It must have been meant for me.
girl: Being alive is kind of sickening.
Touga: I see...
girl: It's sickening...
girl: Why does everyone go on living knowing
they'll end up dying anyway?
girl: I wonder why I never realized that until
today.
girl: Eternity couldn't possibly exist, could
it?
Saionji: Eternity?
girl: And so, it's all right now.
girl: I will never leave this coffin.
Saionji: But someone will find you, eventually.
girl: Then I'll just go hide in another coffin.
girl: I'll never see anyone, or come out into
the sun again.
Saionji: Wait! Don't you think she might do
something stupid if we leave her like that?
Touga: Then, why don't you show her something
eternal?
Saionji: The next day, she'd come out of the
coffin.
Saionji: And there was something about the
look in her eyes...
Saionji: Did you do something to her after
what happened yesterday?
Touga: No, nothing.
Saionji: However, I thought for sure that
he must've shown her something eternal.
Saionji: Kiryuu Touga...
Saionji: He's always ahead of me, going to
a world I don't know.
Anthy: Someday, I want to go to that castle
hanging in the sky.
Anthy: There is something eternal up there.
Saionji: You've seen that castle hanging in
the sky, too, haven't you?
Saionji: In that castle is eternity.
Saionji: I'm going there with her.
Saionji: I won't lose to Touga!
Juri: By the way, Tenjou Utena said she had
met a prince when she was very young.
Micky: A prince?
Juri: Yes.
Juri: She said she came to the academy to
see a prince she met when she was very young.
Touga: She's quite the romantic.
Touga: A prince, eh?
Touga: I see.
Narration: "That ring will guide you to me."
Narration: It was undoubtedly the princess's
first love.
Narration: And so, was the ring from the prince
meant as an engagement ring?
Utena: I'll see you again, won't I?
Utena: Hey! That's cold! What the heck are
you doing!?
Touga: You looked awfully lonesome from back
here.
Utena: It's none of your business.
Touga: What are you doing up here, hmm?
Utena: Do you know something... about that
castle?
Touga: Castle?
Utena: That castle hanging in the sky that
you can see from the duel arena...
Utena: ...I wonder what it really is.
Touga: That castle is the place where you
and your prince are supposed to meet someday.
Utena: Somebody told you something they shouldn't
have, huh?
Touga: Wasn't your prince a guy like me?
Utena: Stop it!
Utena: Quit jerking me around.
Utena: This ain't no joke.
Saionji: From the Ends of the World?
A-Ko: Oh! A UFO!
B-Ko: Where, where, where, where... where?
B-Ko: Oh, for crying out loud... it's just
a shooting star.
A-Ko: No, no, NO! It's a UFO!
A-Ko: It flew across the sky all jittery,
uh, I mean, zigzaggy.
B-Ko: In that case, it's a shooting star flying
zigzaggy.
B-Ko: There's no way UFOs could exist!
A-Ko: It was when I was in kindergarten...
B-Ko: What was?
A-Ko: ...that they said Santa Claus didn't
exist.
B-Ko: Oh gawd...
A-Ko: It's OK though. I understand.
B-Ko: Understand what?
A-Ko: Wizards,
A-Ko: fairies,
A-Ko: princes on white horses,
A-Ko: and kind-hearted friends...
A-Ko: ...are only found in fantasy.
Both: It's okay, though. I understand.
A-Ko: And so, at least I still have UFOs...
B-Ko: That's kinda tricky, ain't it?
A-Ko: Oops, they're broken.
Utena: Hey, Himemiya.
Utena: It's supper time.
Utena: Chuchu, where's your owner?
Utena: She hasn't come back yet? That's unusual.
Utena: Could that be her?
Utena: Okay, okay.
Utena: Hello, East Hall, 2nd floor...
Phone: Himemiya Anthy will be spirited away
tonight.
Utena: What?
Phone: Go to the duel arena.
Utena: Who are you?
Utena: Hey!
Anthy: Please stop, Saionji-sempai.
Anthy: You're hurting me.
Anthy: I have to go home now, or Utena-sama
will be worried.
Saionji: And what of Utena-sama?
Saionji: I'm the one keeping the promise with
you.
Anthy: Promise?
Saionji: Correct. Tonight, we'll finally be
able to go to the castle said to hold eternity.
Anthy: No, you mustn't.
Anthy: It's not allowed for anyone not engaged
to me to take me to the duel arena without the arrangement of
a duel.
Saionji: The Ends of the World told me that
the castle would fall tonight.
Saionji: I won't let anybody else have you.
Saionji: The one to obtain eternity with you...
Saionji: ...WILL BE ME!
Utena: Sheesh, what the...
Utena: Sa... Saionji?
Utena: Saionji, wake up!
Saionji: Tenjou...
Utena: Where's Himemiya?
Saionji: Anthy...
Utena: What are you up to?
Utena: I thought you couldn't take her back
without beating me in a duel, right?
Saionji: What the hell are you doing here?
Utena: I was told to come here because Himemiya
would be spirited away.
Saionji: Spirited away?
Saionji: Spirited away...
Saionji: Spirited away...
Saionji: Anthy...
Saionji: Where's Anthy?
Utena: That's what I'm asking you.
Saionji: Hey!
Saionji: Did you open it?
Utena: No, not me.
Saionji: Impossible...
Utena: Hey, wait!
Utena: What the...
Saionji: This...
voice: Please don't open it.
voice: Eternity couldn't possibly exist, could
it?
Utena: Himemiya...
Saionji: Anthy!
Saionji: What?
Utena: What the...
Utena: Himemiya!
Saionji: Tenjou!
Utena: What's going on here?
Utena: Anyway, I've gotta save Himemiya!
Saionji: The castle... the castle's falling
down.
Saionji: Here I am, Ends of the World!
Saionji: Now fulfill your promise and deliver
eternity unto me!
Utena: HIMEMIYA!!!!!
Saionji: What's this? What's going on here?
Saionji: What the hell was that?
Utena: Himemiya... Himemiya...
Utena: Himemiya! Hey, snap out of it, Himemiya!
Saionji: No... I was to be the one to rescue
her from the coffin this time.
Saionji: No! I am the one who will save her
this time. The castle said to contain eternity...
Saionji: the power to revolutionize the world...
Saionji: ...will all be mine.
Saionji: The one who will accompany Anthy
to that castle will be me!
Utena: Himemiya...
Utena: Himemiya! Himemiya!
Anthy: Utena-sama...
Utena: I'm so glad...
Utena: But, what on earth happened?
Anthy: Actually, I'm not quite sure...
Anthy: Utena-sama!
Utena: Touga! Why?
Touga: Wasn't your prince...
Touga: ...someone like me?
Saionji: Why do you always...
Touga: I'm a gentleman, that's why.
Touga: It's me.
Touga: Yes, the letter sent to Saionji tonight
was from me.
Touga: Right, in your name.
Touga: No, it's just a flesh wound.
Touga: Well, just a few dramatics.
Touga: Yes, Saionji will be punished by expulsion.
Touga: Nonsense.
Touga: Anyone who truly believes he has friends
is a fool.
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.
ED: Missing truth and forever,
ED: Kissing love and true your heart,
ED: I will like tomorrow's new me.
ED: At least I believe so; I want to believe
it,
ED: so I want to keep lies hating me.
title: Preview of Next Episode
Utena: Touga got injured protecting me.
Anthy: It's not your fault at all, Utena-sama.
Utena: But Touga's little sister seems to
think it is.
Anthy: Oh, Kiryuu Nanami-san, right?
Utena: I guess I can't avoid Touga's birthday
party, can I?
Utena: What? Nanami-kun's a Duelist, too?
Anthy: I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
Kiryuu-sempai.
Utena: Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena:
Nanami's Precious One
Anthy: The Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse.
TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE
Man2:
She couldn't have been spirited away, could she?
"kamikakushi" means "a phenomenon that a person, especially a
child, suddenly disappears, which is believed to be by a work
of a tengu (long-nosed goblin), Kakushigami (the God of Hiding),
an oni (ogre), a fox, etc." The only common English translation
for that seems to be "spirit away."
