SCRIPT
(episode 15; version 1.0; 11/23/1998)
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.
Boy: What's wrong?
Kozue: It's nothing. So, speaking of Toshiko...
Kozue: In the end, it looks like she went to
Atsushi's place again, yesterday.
Kozue: So she shouldn't have been so stubborn
about it in the first place, right?
Kozue: And then...
Teacher: Micky...
Teacher: Are you going to your piano lesson?
Miki: Yes.
Teacher: I have high expectations for you. Work
hard.
Miki: Yes sir. And are you feeling better now?
Teacher: I've caused you problems, haven't I?
Miki: Not at all.
Teacher: Actually, speaking of problems, I need
to have a talk with you, Micky.
Boy: What's wrong?
Boy: Hey...
title: Landscape Framed by Kozue
Nanami: Onii-sama, have you stayed home from
school again today?
Nanami: At the very least, you could have dinner
on time..
Nanami: Onii-sama...
Nanami: It's all right, Onii-sama.
Nanami: I'll look after the Student Council.
Mamiya: The Student Council...
Mamiya: The Student Council members...
Mamiya: With their spirits, we might forge a
sword powerful enough to defeat Tenjou Utena.
Mamiya: That's what my Black Rose tells me.
Souji: However, they have all been defeated
in Duels.
Souji: They are weak-hearted people.
Mamiya: There aren't many people who can fully
control their hearts.
Mamiya: I'm sure it's particularly difficult
for people of such young age.
Mamiya: It would be far better to let their
spirit swords be received by someone else.
Mamiya: That way, a stronger Duelist can be
born.
Souji: I understand.
Souji: For the sake of making you the Rose Bride,
I'll consider it.
Souji: However, drawing their spirit swords
requires a hand that can capture their hearts.
Girl: Kozue!
Girl: Hey, Kozue... You've changed boyfriends
again?
Kozue: I haven't changed boyfriends... I've
added one.
Girl: Oh, the things you say! You lucky girl!
Kozue: Work at it yourself, you guys.
Girl: Then would you introduce us to your brother?
Kozue: Okay, but...
Kozue: ...it seems there's a girl he likes these
days.
Miki: Calm down, Miki....
Miki: Himemiya-san, will you play the piano
with me tomorrow?
Miki: Here goes...
Utena: Hey Micky!
Miki: I was just passing by. I wasn't being
suspicious... um...
Miki: ...what am I saying?!
Utena: Himemiya! Micky's here!
Miki: It's not like I'm here to visit Himemiya-san
in particular!
Miki: I just happened to be passing by...
Himemiya: Hello.
Miki: Umm...
Himemiya: Yes...?
Miki: Umm...
Miki: ...Chuuchuu is really cute, isn't he?
Utena: It's not Chuuchuu. It's Chuchu.
Utena: If it was Chuuchuu, it would sound too
mouse-like.
Himemiya: But I kind of like Chuuchuu as well.
Miki: Himemiya-san, you like Chuuchuu too?
Himemiya: I like it.
Miki: I like it, too!
Miki: I guess we have something in common!
Miki: Sorry, I'm saying some strange things,
aren't I?
Miki: Umm...
Himemiya: Yes?
Utena: Come on! Just a little more.
Miki: Himemiya-san, if it's alright with you,
Miki: would you play the piano with me tomorrow
after school?
Miki: I would like to introduce you to my piano
teacher.
Miki: I'm certain that if he listened to you
play, he'd be quite impressed.
Miki: So...
Miki: ...please?
Kozue: You wanted to talk to me?
Juri: That incident last week with that teacher
falling down the stairs was not an accident.
Juri: Rumor has it that he was pushed.
Juri: According to him, he wasn't certain whether
or not it was an accident.
Juri: However, just last night, he got a phone
call saying that next time, it wouldn't be just a slight accident.
Kozue: How brilliant, Arisugawa-sempai. You
seem to know everything.
Juri: There are things I don't know.
Juri: For example: why you hate this guy so.
Kozue: Because he's always...
Juri: Always...
Kozue: I will never forgive anyone who disgraces
Miki.
Miki: I made some milkshakes. Want one?
Kozue: Why would I drink something so sweet?
Utena: So, you're Kozue-chan.
Utena: I've heard about you from Miki.
Utena: You really are twins.
Utena: If you dressed up as a guy, I could never
tell you apart from Miki.
Kozue: I am nothing at all like Miki.
Kozue: That girl with the glasses...
Kozue: ...what was her name again?
Utena: You mean Himemiya Anthy?
Utena: What about her?
Nanami: If the egg's shell does not break, the
chick will die without being born.
Nanami: The chamber of freedom and the cage
of freedom...
Nanami: ...without showing the vastness of the
skies, they cherish the chick.
Nanami: Break the world's cage!
Nanami&Jur: For the sake of revolutionizing
the world!
Namani: What is it? Any complaints?
Juri: None here.
Miki: None here.
Nanami: From now on, I will act as my brother's
proxy.
NoName: I do have the qualifications. Any complaints?
Juri: None here.
Miki: None here.
Juri: Except...
Nanami: Except...?
Juri: We don't seem to get letters from the
Ends of the World lately.
Akio: Oh? There's a boy who likes Anthy?
Utena: So you are concerned?
Akio: Well, she is my sister.
Akio: However, if she is enjoying her school
life, then I'm relieved.
Akio: I'm glad that my sister has good friends
like you.
Utena: Akio-san, you really think about your
sister a lot, don't you?
Akio: Do I?
Utena: I probably wouldn't understand since
I don't have any siblings myself,
Utena: ...but what does it mean for a girl to
have an older brother?
Utena: What's this?
Utena: The moon?
Akio: Normally, it's something useless and of
little concern.
Akio: But, every now and then, you look up at
it and feel a certain degree of comfort.
Miki: Himemiya-san, not here yet?
Miki: I must have arrived a little early.
Kozue: You saw?
Kozue: Well? Don't you want to say something?
Himemiya: Say something?
Miki: Himemiya-san.
Himemiya: Sorry. I also went to check the greenhouse.
Miki: Oh, please... I'm just happy you came.
Kozue: I have an interview appointment today.
Form: Nemuro Memorial Hall Interview Application
Form Please answer the following questions.
Form: Name --- Kaoru Kozue Age --- 13 Sex ---
Female Address ---
Man: We've been expecting you. Enter.
Kozue: I'm Kaoru Kozue, 7th grade, Class B.
Souji: Well, please begin.
Kozue: Miki is my twin brother.
Kozue: Since we were very little, he has treated
me very fondly.
Kozue: Lately, even though he pretends there's
nothing wrong,
Kozue: ...if something happens to sully me,
he acts outwardly as if everything's okay.
Kozue: But in his heart, he's hurt and he obsesses
over me.
Kozue: That's why I purposely go out with people
that I know Miki would hate.
Kozue: However...
Souji: Deeper. Go deeper.
Kozue: But, Miki's attention is gradually going
to that other woman.
Kozue: It's going away from me.
Souji: I understand.
Souji: I guess you have no choice but to revolutionize
the world.
Souji: The way before you has been prepared.
Miki: Kozue?
Miki: Kozue...
Miki: What are you doing?
Miki: That ring?!
Kozue: Isn't it nice? It matches yours.
Kozue: And here is one of the roses that bloom
at the ends of the world.
Souji: That is your new power.
Souji: So, you should grasp it, without hesitation.
Utena: What's up?
Wakaba: It's the finals schedule!
Wakaba: No matter how hard you wish... what

something useless and of little concern,

a cowbell is?
Utena: A cowbell?
Utena: I'm not really sure, but we don't usually
use them that often, right?
Himemiya: Why, Nanami-san, that cowbell really
becomes you.

like...

should I put it...

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE
title: Landscape Framed by Kozue
The title "Sono Kozue ga Sasu Fuukei" is a pun. "Kozue" is Miki's
sister's name, but the name also means "the tip of a tree/branch".
Literally, it can be interepreted as "landscape that Kozue points
to" or "landscape that treetop points to".
Miki: ...Chuuchuu is really cute, isn't he?
Utena: It's not Chuuchuu. It's Chuchu.
Utena: If it was Chuuchuu, it would sound too mouse-like.
The "uu" of this "Chuuchuu" is the long vowel of "u" in Japanese.
Unlike English, lengthening a vowel is not stressing, but it makes
a different word.
Miki: I made some milkshakes. Want one?
Kozue: Why would I drink something so sweet?
Japanese milkshakes are different from American milkshakes. A Japanese
milkshake is usually made of milk, honey, egg, and possibly some
fruit mixed up by a juicer.
FPFE: I wore a beautiful kimono
FPFE: Children's Festival
Shichi-Go-San (lit. Seven-Five-Three), which we just translated
as "Children's Festival", is a festival to celebrate seven-year-old
girls, five-year-old boys, and three-year-old girls on their healthy
growth. Usually they wear traditional kimono and go to Shinto shrine.
FPFE: Surprise! Surprise!
The Japanese "odoroki, momo no ki" literally means "surprise, peach
tree", but it's part of the cliche "odoroki, momo no ki, sanshou
no ki" ("sanshou no ki" is the Japanese pepper tree), which is said
when the speaker is surprised or amused. The trees in the phrase
don't mean anything, but they just make a rhyme with "odoroki".
