SCRIPT
(episode 35; 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.
Utena: Who's that?
Dios: A witch.
Utena: A witch?
Dios: The Rose Bride.
Utena: The "Rose Bride"?
Dios: She sacrificed herself to save her beloved
Prince.
Dios: Even though she was the only one who
truly loved the Prince...
Dios: And what's more, the Prince who loved
her was no longer the Prince she knew, but instead...
Dios: he became the Ends of the World.
Utena: Save her!
Utena: Save her...
Dios: You're such a gentle child. Thank you
for your tears.
Dios: The only one who can save her is a Prince
she believes in.
Dios: I can't become her Prince.
Utena: Then I'll become a Prince!
Dios: If you can retain that nobility even
when you grow up,
Dios: you may indeed be able to save her from
her eternal suffering.
Dios: But you will surely forget all about
this night.
Dios: And even if you do remember, you're
a girl.
Dios: Soon you'll become a lady.
Utena: I will! I'll become a Prince no matter
what!
Dios: Then that ring will surely lead you
here again.
text: The Love that Blossomed in Winter
Akio: Finally, the next Duel will determine
who will Revolutionize the World.
Touga: Yes, that's about the size of it, isn't
it.
Akio: Will that be Tenjou Utena? Or will that
be you?
Utena: I will! I'll become a Prince.
Anthy: Is something the matter?
Utena: Himemiya, I...
Anthy: Yes?
Utena: No...never mind.
Anthy: You look a little pale...
Utena: Sorry. I'm being a little strange.
Utena: There's something I just can't seem
to remember...
Utena: ...like a dream I saw at dawn.
Anthy: Ah, you're talking about a dream?
Utena: A dream?
Anthy: Isn't it?
Utena: Well...it might be.
Utena: I don't know for sure, but I feel like
I promised somebody something important.
Utena: Hey, Himemiya. Show me your face.
Utena: Could it be you, and me...
Akio: Ah, here you are.
Utena: Akio-san.
Utena: Did you need something?
Akio: Well, I heard you weren't feeling too
well lately,
Akio: So I thought I might invite you on a
stroll or something to help you feel better.
Utena: Me?
Akio: Would that be a problem?
Utena: No, of course not.
Akio: Good. Oh, may I borrow Utena-san, Anthy?
Anthy: Yes, brother.
Akio: Then, Utena-san, shall we depart?
Utena: You sure, Himemiya?
Anthy: Yes.
Utena: Then, see you in a little while.
Anthy: See you later.
Akio: Thank you for always being nice to my
sister.
Utena: Not at all. I mean, we're friends.
Akio: "Friends"...is it?
Akio: If that thought should last forever...
Akio: I was just thinking it would be nice
if you and Anthy remained friends forever.
Utena: Well, of course.
Akio: The red poppy is native to Southern
Europe, and is also known as Gubijin flower.
Akio: There's a legend that they grew on the
spot where Gubijin, who was loved by Kouu, was buried long ago.
Akio: Because of that, in the language of
flowers...is something wrong?
Utena: Um, no. I just thought that all you
knew a lot about was stars.
Utena: But you know a lot about plants too.
Akio: I wouldn't say a "lot".
Utena: So what do red poppies mean in the
language of flowers?
Akio: In the language of flowers, the red
poppy means...
Touga: And what are your intentions?
Akio: Regarding what?
Touga: You seemed to be getting along pretty
well with Tenjou Utena.
Akio: Oh, are you worried about her?
Touga: Well, I'm worried.
Akio: How are you worried?
Touga: She's my important opponent in the
Duels. I was planning on undermining her a bit.
Akio: Really? In that case that's perfect.
Can I entrust something to you?
Touga: What would that be?
Akio: I want you to deliver a present to her.
Akio: I don't care what. You choose something
suitable.
Touga: You sure you don't want to choose it
yourself?
Akio: I don't mind. After all, you're the
playboy.
Akio: Choosing presents should be right up
your alley.
Touga: You don't know her as well as I thought.
Touga: You can't sway her that way.
Touga: Actually, I gave her a present as a
dress before, but she wasn't the sort to be moved by gifts.
Akio: Have you forgotten?
Akio: She's the kind of girl who treasures
an old ring given to her by a man whose name she doesn't even
know.
Touga: That's true. That's the thing that
binds her.
Akio: Well, no matter.
Akio: Do whatever you want. I'd like to see
how you handle things.
Akio: But don't forget about the present.
Tell her it's from me.
Touga: This is a game, isn't it?
Akio: Yes indeed.
Touga: Tenjou-kun!
Utena: Yes! Mr. President...
Touga: I wish you wouldn't make that face
at me so quickly.
Touga: You must really hate me.
Wakaba: Damn straight she does.
Utena: Do you need something from me?
Touga: I was asked to give you this by the
Chairman.
Utena: By Akio-san?
Wakaba: Wow, how pretty!
Utena: Akio-san gave these to me?
Touga: Yeah.
Wakaba: That's awesome, Utena!
Utena: But...can I really accept these?
Utena: Besides, these aren't me.
Wakaba: What're you talking about? Sure they
are!
Wakaba: Try them on.
Utena: It won't work...cut it out.
Wakaba: It will too work. See?
Wakaba: That's cool.
Utena: No, that's not what I'm talking about,
but...
Wakaba: You being bashful?
Wakaba: I am TOO jealous, you little tramp!
Utena: That hurt, Wakaba!
Touga: Tenjou-kun, could you come with me
for a bit?
Touga: There's something I'd like to consult
you about.
Utena: Um...consult me?
Utena: Don't you have the wrong person?
Touga: I'm sorry. There's something I really
want you to hear.
Touga: Please, Tenjou-kun.
Wakaba: Don't buy it for one second.
Wakaba: He might do something terrible to
you again.
Utena: But...
Wakaba: Geez! You're too soft!
Wakaba: Just don't go anywhere dark alone
with him.
Utena: What's that supposed to mean?
Utena: Didn't you wanna consult me about something?!
Touga: Don't get impatient. It's true I want
to talk with you.
Utena: Hey, don't be so reckless!
Touga: Tenjou-kun, I guess being an all-around
athlete like you doesn't include horseback riding.
Utena: Of course it doesn't. There aren't
that many people who ride.
Touga: Really?
Touga: But don't horses go hand in hand with
the Prince you admire so much?
Utena: What're you trying to say?
Touga: Who knows.
Utena: You dummy, cut it out!
Akio: That was a bit of a close call.
Utena: Akio-san.
Akio: But thank goodness. I always ride this
course.
girl: Um...um...
girl: Won't you read this for me?
girl: I've admired you for so long...um...and
so...err, I...
girl: How should I put it...
Touga: Thank you. Your earnestness is wonderful.
Touga: Kiryuu Touga, the playboy Student Council
President...is it?
Touga: "Playboy" sounds old-fashioned.
Saionji: Oh, it's you.
Touga: I wanna spar.
Saionji: Something happened to you.
Touga: Nothing happened.
Saionji: Liar. That confidence is gone from
your sword.
Touga: Oh really?! You sound so smart, Saionji.
Touga: You know that much about me?
Saionji: Hell yes. You're arrogant and haughty,
and full of confident ambition.
Touga: Hey now, that's not a nice thing to
say.
Saionji: That's the kind of guy you are. You
play the gentleman,
Saionji: but you've never really loved anyone,
and you see everyone else only as pawns to be controlled.
Saionji: That was your strength.
Saionji: But can that sword of yours defeat
her now?
Touga: You're talking too much. You'll leave
yourself open.
shadow: I wonder I wonder, do you know what
I wonder, Miss?
shadow: Oh, what is it I wonder?
shadow: I'm the cool sailor, the nice-guy
genius Cassanova!
shadow: The incomparable Playboy Fisherman!
shadow: My!
shadow: How wonderful!
shadow: I can't move!
shadow: Boil me!
shadow: Broil me!
shadow: Slice me!
shadow: Make me into sashimi!
shadow: Hah, all fish are like that.
shadow: All fish exist for me to use.
shadow: I don't mean to brag, but there's
no fish I couldn't catch.
shadow: Wow, is that so?
shadow: All the fish in the sea are at my
beck and call.
shadow: Oh, I caught another.
shadow: What's this? It's not doing what I
want it to.
shadow: Is this some new breed of fish? This's
never happened before!
shadow: What the hell are you-
shadow: Shh. I'm a "koi" [Japanese for "goldfish",
and for "love"].
shadow: How could a koi be in the ocean?!
shadow: I wonder I wonder, do you know what
I wonder?
Akio: Don't worry. See?
Utena: Yeah.
Akio: His body's big, but he's quite gentle.
Utena: It's too much to ask for...a Prince
on a white horse...
Akio: They're very timid animals.
Akio: You have to communicate well with them
and get them to trust you.
Utena: Just like with people.
Akio: He's telling me that he likes you too.
Utena: Really?
Anthy: Utena-sama? Utena-sama?
Anthy: You'll catch cold. Utena-sama...
Akio: Looks like I won the game.
Touga: Nope. It's a draw.
Touga: She didn't like the present after all.
Just like I thought.
Akio: She was bewildered. Maybe you didn't
pick a good gift-
Touga: There was no mistake in the choice
of gift.
Touga: Besides, they suited her very well.
Akio: I'd love to see that. She's supposed
to become an attractive princess after all.
Akio: Not a Prince, but a princess. I'm sure
you agree.
Touga: Well now. Who knows.
Akio: I'm looking forward to the next Duel.
Akio: The Prince who will revolutionize the
world...
Akio: But I'm praying...for your success.
Utena: Living's...kinda disgusting, isn't
it?
Touga: Really.
Utena: Yeah. It's disgusting.
Utena: Why is everybody alive if they'll just
end up dying?
Utena: And why didn't I realize that until
today?
Utena: There can't be anything eternal, can
there?
Saionji: Something eternal?
Utena: So it's okay. I'm never leaving this
coffin again.
Saionji: Who would have thought that that
girl was Tenjou Utena...
Saionji: That girl who was inside the coffin.
Touga: She's still all alone within the coffin.
Touga: In order to save her, I'll beat her.
Saionji: Don't tell me you actually love
Tenjou Utena?
Touga: Well, I wonder.
Touga: I don't even know myself.
Saionji: We've gotten a lot of letters to
date.
Saionji: From the Ends of the World.
Saionji: And, as written, we've fought a lot
of Duels.
Touga: But I bet this will be my last letter.
Saionji: We don't need this "chaban" anymore.
["chaban" = tea server / charade]
Saionji: You don't need to get letters.
Touga: You serve him directly. Just get his
orders firsthand.
Saionji: Are you really happy with that? Why
are you kissing his ass that much?
Touga: He's the one who saved her back then.
Saionji: Oh, I see.
Touga: I want to become like him. I want power
like his.
Saionji: Are you so sure?
Touga: What?
Saionji: It may be that the Chairman saved
her back then.
Saionji: But she's still in the coffin. No,
not just her.
Saionji: We're in our coffins too.
Utena: Hey, stop that Chu-chu.
Utena: That's not a caramel.
Utena: Okay okay, I'll show you what's inside.
Utena: Hey, whaddya think, Chu-Chu?
Utena: You attach these to your ears like
this.
Utena: Hey...
Anthy: What is it?
Utena: Nothing...
Utena: I feel like I was just about to remember
something important...
Utena: What...

Anthy: Does it look like you'll get to meet

Utena: Prince-like people, would-be princes,
people I want to be princes...
Utena: But a "prince" is...
Utena: Kiryuu Touga challenged me to another
Duel!
Utena: I've got to fight.
Anthy: Do you know what's scarier than Dueling?
