SCRIPT (episode 24; version 1.0; 2/12/1999) 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. Tsuwabuki: All this morning, it's classes as usual. 3rd period Music is about music appreciation. Tsuwabuki: The topic is Orff's Karmina Burana. The report you will present is already complete. Tsuwabuki: Before you go to the Music room, take a look inside your locker. Tsuwabuki: 6th period English, there's a vocabulary test, so here's your cribsheet. Nanami: I see. Tsuwabuki: I'll inform you of your afterschool plans at lunchtime. After that- Nanami: Tsuwabuki... Tsuwabuki: Yes, ma'am? Nanami: Thank you. Tsuwabuki: Certainly! Boy: A runaway horse! Boy: A horse is on the loose! Tsuwabuki: Watch out! Tsuwabuki: My name is Tsuwabuki Mitsuru. Tsuwabuki: I am a student who has dedicated all of myself to Nanami-san. Tsuwabuki: And so, I have a secret that absolutely no one must know! text: Nanami-sama Secret Diary Utena: Tsuwabuki-kun's been hurt? Nanami: Yes, while protecting me. Himemiya: Did he die? Nanami: Of course not! Nanami: The wound itself looks like little more than a bruise and a broken nail, Nanami: ...but he's still unconscious. Nanami: Right now, I'm having them arrange a hospital for him. Himemiya: Hmm? What's this? Utena: A schedule book? Nanami: Oh, that's Tsuwabuki's. Utena: So he's got names and addresses and stuff written in here? Himemiya: It has diary-type things written in it. Nanami: What? Read it! Himemiya: "My name is Tsuwabuki Mitsuru." Himemiya: "I am a student who has dedicated all of myself to Nanami-san." Tsuwabuki: I have always had my eye on Nanami-san. Tsuwabuki: ...and only Nanami-san. Keiko: It's your fault! Keiko: You snared our Saionji-san and turned him into a loser! Yuuko: He's been away from the Kendo Club, too! Aiko: What a dreadful girl! Keiko: Give us back our Saionji-san! Aiko: Say something! Nanami: Whatever is going on here? Keiko: Nanami-sama... Nanami: Pray tell, what is all this commotion? Nanami: Given the circumstances, I'll have to report this to the Student Council. Keiko: Well, uh... Aiko: It's not what it seems. KYA: Excuse us! Nanami: Are you alright? Himemiya: Yes, thank you. Himemiya: You're... Nanami-san, they said it was? Nanami: Since you're so popular among the boys, Nanami: ...you tend to make them jealous. Tsuwabuki: Nanami-san is incredible. Tsuwabuki: With purity, nobility and great beauty, Tsuwabuki: ...protecting the weak, detesting all evil, entirely for justice in the Academy. Tsuwabuki: But, I know... Tsuwabuki: I know Nanami-san's naked face. Utena: Nanami's naked face? Nanami: What's with those looks? Utena: Looks like he knows you through and through, from shiny surface to filthy underbelly. Nanami: What do you mean by filthy underbelly? Keiko: Nanami-sama, she's come wearing the dress we sent her. Aiko: It really suits her. Boy: Oh, I apologize, Miss! Himemiya: It's all right. Tsuwabuki: Never dirtying her own hands, Tsuwabuki: ...her stoic manner in which she merely watches the suffering from a safe distance, Tsuwabuki: ...certainly is the proper form for she who rules the Academy from the shadows. Utena: Yeah, something like that happened. Himemiya: So that was Nanami-san's doing, wasn't it? Nanami: Th- that's all Tsuwabuki's delusions! Nanami: It's unimaginable that I would do something so wild. Nanami: Tsuwabuki sure is a weird kid, huh? Tsuwabuki: Nanami-san's malice didn't end at that level. Tsuwabuki: As in this case... Keiko: Nanami-sama... Keiko: 8th Grade, Class A, has started cooking practice, as scheduled. Nanami: So it appears. Nanami: And what we were discussing earlier? Keiko: Yes, ma'am, I just made the substitution. Keiko: 100X curry, an Indian specialty hot enough to make you breathe fire. Nanami: Excellent. Nanami: Watch out, Tenjou Utena and Himemiya Anthy. Nanami: I'll soon have you begging for mercy. SYT: Curry... SYT: curry... SYT: curry... SYT: CURRY!! Himemiya: It's ready! Keiko: Nanami-sama! Nanami: Be quiet, it's getting good now. Keiko: I'm sorry, but, um.. Nanami: But what? Aiko: The substitution wasn't for 100X curry... Keiko: It appears to be for super spicy 900 Billion X curry, Keiko: ...so hot it'll blast you to smithereens and make phantom elephants trumpet loudly. Nanami: Phantom... smithereens? Nanami: No way... Tsuwabuki: Tenjou-san and Himemiya-san... Tsuwabuki: That's right, their personalities were exchanged by Nanami-san's curry. Himemiya: Utena-sama, that's wonderful! Utena: Well, it feels weird being praised by my own body. Himemiya: You see, I'm not very good at sports, Himemiya: ...so seeing my own body acting so wonderfully makes me happy. Utena: But, we gotta think of a way to return to normal. Himemiya: Don't worry! Himemiya: I'm sure even now Nanami-sama is... Tsuwabuki: Right. Nanami-san put forth her best efforts, Tsuwabuki: ...to atone for her sin without losing her cheerful smile. Keiko: Nanami-sama! Nanami: An elephant?! Keiko: Nanami-sama! Nanami: Not again! Aiko: Nanami-sama! Tsuwabuki: Here's a souvenir. Tsuwabuki: Then, Nanami-san came back, stronger than ever. Touga: Nanami! Nanami: Onii-sama!! Touga: Nanami! The replacement? Nanami: That was the last one. Nanami: They said it will take another 200 years to refine it to 900 Billion X spice. All: 200 years? Tsuwabuki: Surely, I thought it looked like karmic retribution. Himemiya: Now that you mention it, that was the case. Utena: Nanami is just thoroughly evil, isn't she? Nanami: What are you talking about?! Nanami: It wasn't the curry I substituted that switched your personalities, Nanami: ...it was purely because of your cooking skills, am I not right? Himemiya: Was it? Nanami: You... Utena: So what other evil deeds are written after that, I wonder? Nanami: Wait a second, aside from that, Nanami: ...is there anything about Tsuwabuki in there? Himemiya: There's nothing written but stuff about Nanami-san. Tsuwabuki: Nanami-san seems to have been treating Himemiya-san badly for any reason at all. Tsuwabuki: As in this case... Miki: Huh, they say this dorm is haunted, but it's actually quite nice inside. Nanami: You have such a nice room. Utena: Yeah, Himemiya cleans up religiously everyday. Miki: Himemiya-san must really like to keep things neat, then. Nanami: Wow, I'm really impressed. Nanami: Ok, just watch. Nanami: Think Himemiya Anthy's a cute girl while you can... Miki: I envy you, Tenjou-sempai, living with such a feminine girl. Utena: Is that sarcasm? Nanami: Himemiya-sempai, may I borrow your eraser? Nanami: It's a snail! Nanami: It's a snake! Nanami: There's an octopus in here! Nanami: Himemiya's true character has been exposed! Nanami: That's what's going to happen! Tsuwabuki: However, Nanami-san also had a tough time. Tsuwabuki: Sometimes, the wounding party gets hurt instead of the intended target. Nanami: Himemiya-sempai, may I borrow your eraser? Nanami: Himemiya Anthy, prepare yourself! Utena: I wouldn't open that if I were you. Nanami: This can't be true, it must be a dream. Nanami: This huge octupus and its octupus tentacles... Utena: You really are evil, aren't you? Nanami: Evil? Moi? Nanami: You have got to be kidding me! Nanami: That time, it was me that was the victim, wasn't it? Himemiya: "And so, Nanami-san has been hostile toward Himemiya-san, but..." Nanami: St- st- st- st- st- stop that, I wasn't hostile or anything. Utena: You don't have to play dumb anymore. Himemiya: "...there's a reason for that. A profound reason, which must not be uttered to another soul..." Utena: Reason? Utena: Oh. Nanami: Hey, stop already! And give that back! Utena: Thought this wasn't yours? Himemiya: You're going to tear that apart, you know! Nanami: You inhuman, demon, villain! Utena: That's you! Nanami: What is it? Utena: Can you hear it? Nanami: What? Himemiya: That slight tooth-grinding. Himemiya: Like a rope bridge swaying in the wind. Nanami: No, it's the sound of a seaside swingset squeaking. Himemiya: He who once ruled the Student Council, Touga-sempai. 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. Tsuwabuki: For Nanami-san, Touga-sempai is her entire world. Nanami: You two!! Utena: "Only Touga-sempai could be the one and only man to live up to Nanami-san's ideals." Tsuwabuki: Even though I'm still inexperienced, someday I want to be a big brother like Touga-sempai. Utena: C'mon, let's stop. Himemiya: Oh? Utena: It's not right. All his thoughts are packed in this book. Utena: And here we are, peeking at it... Nanami: You've read almost everything, so who cares about the weight of Tsuwabuki-kun's feelings? Nanami: How about the weight of my feelings? Utena: About 49 kilos? Nanami: I've gained?! Himemiya: Oh, I wonder what's on this page. Himemiya: Operation the First... Nanami: Did you say "operation?" Nanami: Where am I? Nanami: Who am I? Nanami: It's no use. I can't remember anything. Touga: Nanami... Nanami: Who's there? Touga: Have you forgotten? Tsuwabuki: It's me, your older brother. Nanami: Onii-sama?! Tsuwabuki: Come here, Nanami! Nanami: ONII-SAMA!! Nanami: Wait, what is this? Utena: Beats me. Himemiya: Operation the Second... Tsuwabuki: Arrrrggh, wait a minute! Nanami: Tsuwabuki... Tsuwabuki: Please, don't read any further! Nanami: Now what are you talking about? Nanami: All your plots will be thoroughly exposed! Tsuwabuki: What do you mean, plots? Tsuwabuki: All I wanted was to become the kind of man that suits you, Nanami-san. Nanami: Why you little...! Utena: Nanami, calm down! If you get too excited, you'll turn into a cow again! Himemiya: Operation the Second... When Nanami-san becomes a cow again, Himemiya: And this time, I think I can cope with that this way. Utena: Nanami! Utena: Get rid of that cowbell! Utena: Get rid of it! Nanami: Shut up already, moo. Utena: Do you even know what the bell on your neck is supposed to be? Nanami: Really, moo! It's a Sebastian Dior cowbell, right? Really, moo! Utena: A cowbell is just a bell they hang on a cow's neck. Nanami: What are you talking about? Moo. Utena: Look around you! Nanami: So, so, Sebastian Dior, the purveyor to the Court is... Utena: It's not Sebastian Dior, but Koushi-chan Dior! (koushi = calf) Nanami: Ko- Koushi-chan? Utena: You didn't even know what a cowbell is all about, Utena: ...and you were all proud of that humongous bell, wearing it on your neck. Utena: What you're doing now is exactly what a cow does! Nanami: Cow? Utena: We can't do anything about that now. Utena: What you can do now is throw that bell away before you completely turn into a cow. Nanami: Wh- What are you talking about? Moo. Nanami: How could I possibly become a cow? Moo. Nanami: Really now, don't surprise me. Moo. Quit kidding around, already. Moo. Himemiya: Utena-sama, it's finally finished! Utena: What's this? Himemiya: It's a sweater. Utena: Thanks, but it's a bit out of season, isn't it? Nanami: Moo. If it had gone a little more, moo, I would have attracted intense attention. Nanami: Somehow, my mind is getting, moo, fuzzy... Nanami: Could it be a delusion, moo? My appendix, moo? Nanami: Or I might have been bitten by a, moo, virulent poisonous snake... Nanami: Somebody, moo, get me a blanket! Utena: Nanami... Utena: Nanami, you look... Himemiya: I'm scared! Tsuwabuki: Nanami-san! Himemiya: She's coming right for us! Utena: Oh, I get it! She got all excited when she saw this red sweater! Himemiya: Oh, my! Utena: Himemiya, get away! Himemiya: All right! Tsuwabuki: It's all right now. Tsuwabuki: It's all right now, Nanami-san. Tsuwabuki: I'll take care of you, even if you do become a cow. Tsuwabuki: I'll stay with you, Nanami-san. Tsuwabuki: Stop it, stop it, please! Nanami: Don't be such a poor sport, Tsuwabuki! Tsuwabuki: Don't look! Nanami: Where am I? Tsuwabuki: Ah, you're conscious... How do you feel? Nanami: What do you have written there? Tsuwabuki: You fell behind schedule, didn't you? Tsuwabuki: I've been rescheduling. Nanami: Really, how goes it? I want to see. Tsuwabuki: I'll tell you about it later. Tsuwabuki: No need to worry. Nanami: I've got it now! Tsuwabuki: Oh, crap! Nanami: So it seems there are nasty things written in here, eh? Nanami: Seize him! Tsuwabuki: St- St- St- St- St- Stop!! Let me go! Let me goooo! Nanami: What's this, Operation the Twenty-fourth? Tsuwabuki: I'm done for! If they read that page, I'm done for! C-ko: Extra! Extra! C-ko: I'm done for! I'm really done for! C-ko: Why is that? C-ko: My secret which can't stay hidden any longer is, C-ko: ...that the king has the ears of a donkey! C-ko: Did you say "donkey?" C-ko: Sorry, not a donkey. C-ko: The truth is, I am... C-ko: ...a monkey hiding behind a girl's face! C-ko: Ah, the shame of it all. Now she'll never get married. C-ko: Monkey is captured. Monkey is captured. 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. text: Preview of Next Episode Himemiya: Starting today, we're going to be living together in my brother's house. Himemiya: This is mine and Utena-sama's new room. Utena: Akio-san is the kind of person who really makes you feel at home, isn't he? Utena: Say, Himemiya... If something ever troubles you, come talk to me about it first. Utena: No matter what, let's help each other. Utena: That's the kind of friends I want us to be. Himemiya: Utena-sama, actually, I... Utena: Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Our Eternal Apocalypse Himemiya: The Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE
Tsuwabuki: The topic is Orff's Karmina
Burana. The report you will present is already complete. Carl Orff (1895-1982): German musician. Utena: It's not right. All his thoughts are packed in this book. Utena: And here we are, peeking at it... Nanami: You've read almost everything, so who cares about the weight of Tsuwabuki-kun's feelings? Nanami: How about the weight of my feelings? Utena: About 49 kilos? Nanami: I've gained?! The Japanese has a visual pun here. "Tsuwabuki-kun no omoi" simply means "Tsuwabuki-kun's thoughts," but "omoi" (with the same sound but different pitches) also means "heavy." To keep the visual pun, we had to make a kind of kluge in the English translation. Nanami: St- st- st- st- st- stop that, I wasn't hostile or anything. Tsuwabuki: St- St- St- St- St- Stop!! Let me go! Let me goooo! The letters you see in the visual are hiragana "ya", which is the first letter of the word "yamero" meaning "stop". |
