SCRIPT
(episode 33; version 1.0; 12/20/1999)
voice:
Once upon a time...
voice: ...there was a princess grieving over
the deaths of her mother and father.
voice: Before this princess appeared a prince
traveling upon a white horse.
voice: His appearance gallant, and his smile
gentle, the prince enveloped the princess...
voice: ...in the scent of roses, and wiped
away her tears.
voice: "Little one bearing up alone under
grief,
voice: please lose not thy strength and nobility
when thou growest up."
voice: "As a token of this day, please retain
this."
voice: "Pray, shall we meet once more?"
voice: "This ring should guide thee to me."
voice: Was the ring from the prince meant
as an engagement ring?
voice: That part was good,
voice: but because of the strength of her
admiration for the prince,
voice: the princess made up her mind to become
a prince herself!
voice: But is that really good for her?
title: The Prince who Runs in the Night
Anthy: Hello?
Anthy: Yes.
Anthy: I was looking at the stars.
Anthy: I didn't want to look at the real stars.
Anthy: Have you received tonight's roses?
Utena: Today was a total blast. I wonder how
long it's been since I've had this much fun?
Utena: I feel like I rode all the rides I
wanted to.
Utena: Himemiya should've come too.
Utena: I'm sure being by herself wasn't this
much fun.
Utena: Did I tell you that I'm an only child?
shadows: I wonder I wonder, do you know what
I wonder?
shadow: The stars are really gorgeous tonight.
shadow: If possible, we'd like all our listeners
to take a look at the stars our their windows.
shadow: The beautiful Autumn constellations
are twinkling.
shadow: Tonight, we'll be together forever!
shadow: Now then, it's time for the Pop Quiz!
shadow: What is "something eternal"?
shadow: That's an eternal mystery.
shadow: Who's our first respondant for tonight?
shadow: Let's see. His penname is "Ends of
the World".
shadow: He sure has a weird name.
shadow: Well, let's call him!
Akio: Yes.
shadow: Good evening! Is this Mr. "Ends of
the World"?
Akio: Yes.
shadow: Have you been listening to the program
just now?
Akio: Of course.
shadow: You've got a really sexy voice.
shadow: Thanks for your postcard. What sort
of work do you do, Mr. "Ends of the World."
Akio: I'm an educator. Plus some minor part
time work.
shadow: Are educators really allowed to moonlight?
Akio: Well, I've had good luck so far keeping
it a secret.
shadow: Thank you very much. Then, let's go
straight to the quiz.
shadows: I wonder, I wonder, do you know what
I wonder?
shadow: Multiple choice. Which of the following
three things is eternal?
shadow: 1. A diamond. 2. A beautiful memory.
3. Canned peaches.
Akio: That would be...
shadow: Would be?
Akio: Sorry, I've got another call.
shadow: What? But we're on the air right now!
Akio: It's me. Yeah. Yeah. Understood.
Akio: I'll be right there.
Akio: Sorry, something came up at work.
shadow: "Work"? Which?
Akio: The part time.

Saionji: What the hell is that?
Touga: Now, allow us to invite you, to the
world you desire!
Saionji: The Rose Bride is mine!
Touga: What do you want? What are you after?
Touga: What do you want to be?
Saionji: What will you do if I tell you?
Saionji: First of all, I don't trust you.
Touga: Hey now, aren't you my one and only
best friend?
Saionji: "There's no such thing as friendship
in this world."
Touga: Oh, really?
Saionji: That's right!
Utena: You said you saw what?!
Saionji: The world!
Touga: Isn't this because you believe if you
go there, you can acquire something eternal,
Touga: for example, eternal friendship?
Touga: There was that girl who said she wanted
to see something eternal, right?
Saionji: Really? I don't remember too well.
Touga: That night, he saved that girl and
brought her out of the coffin.
Akio: Lucifer. "Akio", my name, comes from
that planet.
Touga: Akio-san showed that girl something
eternal.
Touga: He saved her.
Utena: If you really love her then try putting
yourself in Himemiya's place!
Saionji: That's right. I used to think all
the time about the Rose Bride's feelings in my own way.
Saionji: That's why I got so passionate. But
now I understand.
Saionji: That the Rose Bride has no will of
her own!
Anthy: Utena-sama?
Utena: What?
Anthy: Nevermind...
Utena: Himemiya!
shadow: That challenger just barely lost.
shadow: Well, the champion's fighting style
was truly magnificent.
shadow: Now the King of Impersonation has
been on top for the last eight weeks!
shadow: Just four more matches and it'll be
time to fight the glorious Grand Champion of the Kings of Impersonation!
Utena: That champion is so amazing.
Utena: I wonder if he'll be able to challenge
the Grand Champion of the Kings of Impersonation?
Utena: I hope he makes it.
Anthy: Oh, are you all right standing by yourself?
Kozue: Thank you. But since you've come all
this way out here,
Kozue: the cute younger sister will tactfully
bow out.
Kozue: Take your time.
Kozue: This letter. Is it from "her"?
Miki: Yeah.
Miki: It's from our mother.
Utena: Wow, that's cool, getting a letter
from your mother.
Utena: I don't have any family, so I'm a bit
jealous.
Kozue: We don't need any parents.
Kozue: After all, we're wild animals.
Miki: Quit badmouthing them. Mother and Father
are always concerned about us...
Kozue: Oh dear, I made you get all serious.
Miki: Yeah. It was in the letter from mother.
Miki: No, Kozue and I aren't opposed to it.
Miki: Father, it's entirely up to you.
Miki: I don't think we'll be able to make
it to the wedding, but we'll at least send a telegram.
Miki: What? With who?
Miki: Oh, don't bother. You mean new mother,
right?. Don't worry about that.
Miki: Father?
Anthy: Don't worry. Calling myself his mother
so suddenly would be too shameless.
Miki: If Dueling means being manipulated by
selfish adults, I'm stopping right now.
Utena: I swear, she just won't quit!
Utena: She's got the nickname "alum". Why
it's "alum" I don't know,
Utena: but before that was "teacup". And before
that was...what was it?
Utena: What was it?
Utena: Oh, damn it! I left the rolls sitting
out from this morning.
Utena: I wonder if Himemiya'll put them in
the fridge okay.
Utena: If they don't get put into a plastic
bag, they'll start smelling like the stuff around them.
Kozue: You don't have to be so bashful.
Kozue: If she's so important to you, then
make her yours.
Kozue: What I want is for you to be happy.
Miki: What're you talking about, all of a
sudden?
Kozue: I'm always honest with my feelings.
That's all.
Kozue: I don't lie.
Kozue: If everything around you is dirty,
don't you have no choice but to get dirty too?
Kozue: You've got no choice but to get dirty
and then get what you want.
Miki: Himemiya-san!
Kozue: What kind of amazing power?
Miki: Kozue! What're you doing?!
Utena: I wonder what made him Duel me so suddenly?
Anthy: Who knows.
Miki: Kozue!!
Kozue: You'll lose if you don't keep your
eyes on what you're doing.
Utena: I mean, Miki's more...
Anthy: More what?
Miki: What?!
Kozue: Coward.
Akio: Yes.
shadow: Good evening! Is this Mr. "Ends of
the World"?
Akio: Yes.
shadow: We finally got through!
shadow: It really isn't good to hang up or
switch calls all of a sudden when you're on the air.
Akio: Sorry about that. It was an emergency.
shadow: Well then, let's go on to the second
question!
Akio: There's another one?
shadow: 'Cause it's a rule. I wonder, I wonder,
do you know what I wonder!
shadow: Multiple choice. Of the following
three choices, which is the miracle?
shadow: 1. Edison's invention. 2. A meeting
with a prince. 3. A can of coelacanth.
Akio: A miracle. Yes...the power of miracles.
Ruka: I was wondering how much you'd grown
while I was away,
Ruka: but it looks like I shouldn't have gotten
my hopes up.
Juri: So it really was you, Captain.
Ruka: Hey hey, you're the captain now, Arisugawa.
Juri: And whatever you're plotting as a Duelist
is none of my concern.
Juri: But...
Ruka: But?
Juri: Keep your hands off of Shiori.
Ruka: What for?
Juri: Shiori is...
Juri: Shiori is an old friend of mine.
Ruka: I see. I understand what you're saying.
Ruka: But I think you're misunderstanding
something.
Juri: What?
Ruka: I said already that I was going to live
the carefree life.
Ruka: Why shouldn't I be free to enjoy romance
with anyone in the Academy I want?
Shiori: U-um...I'm sorry...
Shiori: I, um, wasn't trying to...
Ruka: I see. So it was you.
Shiori: What...?
Ruka: While I was away, somebody polished
my sword every day.
Ruka: I was so happy.
Ruka: It was you, right?
Shiori: Yes. All for your sake,
Shiori: every day I polished this sword...
Ruka: Thank you. You're such a gentle person.
Shiori: Oh no, I'm not-
Utena: It's easy to mess up measures, isn't
it?
Utena: A while ago, I messed up when measuring
maccaroni and ended up filling this great big pot.
Utena: And, it's really bad when you mess
up the seasonings.
Utena: If you're not careful you start putting
in more and more and end up screwing up.
Utena: Portions that would feed three turn
into enough for ten and stuff.
Utena: And you can't exactly undo it.
Utena: Well, you can think you're just saving
it for later...
Utena: for hamburgers and lunchboxes and stuff
like that...
Utena: But that won't work for stuff like
stews.
Utena: You always try to do just what it says
in the book, right?
Utena: You do just what it says and the flavor
always seems to come out wrong, doesn't it?
Utena: I wonder why.
Utena: Huh? The tables got turned.
Shiori: Do you know how much I cared about
you?
Shiori: That's right! I polished your sword
every day!
Shiori: Only for you...
Ruka: Oh that? That wasn't my sword.
Ruka: Your acting was really something. Great,
for an ad-lib.
Utena: Why, senpai?
shadow: It seems he knew how sick he was.
But he forced his way out of the hospital anyway and went back
to school.
shadow: I bet there's somebody he loved in
the Fencing Club.
shadow: Come to think of it, he was always
saying:
Ruka: Juri, don't worry.
shadow: "I want to give the Power of Miracles
to the one I love."
Ruka: Don't worry.
shadow: "I want to free her."
Akio: Miracles happen every day. It's just
that people don't realize it.
shadow: Um, enough of the deep stuff. Please
answer promptly.
Akio: Answer?
Utena: Um, having fun until this late...
Utena: When I get back I gotta make lunch
for tomorrow right away.
Utena: Um, what should I make?
Utena: There's some salmon left, so...salmon
and...
Utena: Then boil some asparagus...and fix
some omelette real quick...
Utena: Usually, we just use all the leftovers
from dinner, see...
Utena: ...since there's two helpings for Himemiya
and me...
Utena: What a mess. What'll I do?
Utena: I can't think of anything.
Utena: Salmon, and asparagus, and omelette...but
what else?
Utena: What should I do?
Utena: Hey, what do you think? Maybe sandwitches?
Utena: If I mix the asparagus and salmon with
some mayonaise, break in a boiled egg...
Utena: I don't know. What'll I do?
Utena: Oh man. Isn't there anything else?
Utena: I can't remember.
Utena: And those are sitting out too...will
they be okay?
Utena: We always put them into you know...
and... in the fridge..., but today...
Utena: Um...
sign: stopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstopstop
Utena: What is eternity?
Akio: Is that Anthy?
Anthy: Yes.
Akio: What're you doing there?
Anthy: I was watching the stars.
Akio: The stars are beautiful tonight.
Akio: You didn't have to watch the Planetarium.
Anthy: I didn't want to look at the real stars.
Anthy: Have you received today's roses?
Akio: Yeah, I received them.
Akio: Thanks for your help.
Akio: Weren't the stars beautiful tonight?
Utena: I didn't expect that to happen.
Utena: All I came for today was to deliver
roses.
