SCRIPT (episode 22; 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. Akio: And so at last even the black rose comes to its final flower. Akio: However, I wonder if he himself will actually fight. Title: Nemuro Memorial Hall Miki: We've got to find out who they really are, and quickly. Miki: They're not trying to take the Rose Bride... They're trying to kill her! Miki: Needless to say, it's our duty for us of the Student Council enforcement division, Miki: ...as representatives of an autonomous body, to maintain order within the Academy. Nanami: So true. Just who are these people who manipulate regular students and force them to duel Tenjou Utena one after the other? Juri: You're rather impatient. Juri: Because your friends, and even Touga, have been targeted? Nanami: As usual, you know everything. Nanam: But, if your intelligence network is good enough to find that out, Nanami: ...then I want you to find out who these people are, and now! Miki: There is one clue. Juri: Only those people chosen by the Ends of the World should possess the Rose Signet. Miki: So, the shadowskulker may in fact be the Ends of the World, right? Juri: Who knows? Nanami: But, looking ... evidence, that someone ... backed by ... of the World, right? Miki: In any case, that ... must be ... in our quiet Academy. Juri: Pardon me, I couldn't hear you very well. Utena: Chuchu! Chuchu! Here, Chuchu! Utena: Sheesh, now where could he have gone? Mikage: Does this creature belong to you? Utena: Ah, Chuchu! Mikage: You're... Utena: Thanks. He give you any trouble? Mikage: Not at all. I found him crying, caught in a mousetrap in the kitchen. Utena: Mousetrap? Utena: Behave yourself once in a while, 'kay? Mikage: Tenjou Utena-san... Utena: How'd you know my name? Mikage: Pleased to meet you. I've had an interest in you for quite some time. Mikage: I'm Mikage Souji, from the High School. Utena: Mikage? You're the brilliant high school student who runs the Mikage Seminar? Mikage: What do you say, Tenjou Utena-san? Mikage: Do you not feel like joining the Seminar? Utena: Who, me? I... My last test was a makeup, you see... Mikage: This has nothing to do with academic prowess. My Seminar only seeks students with individual personalities. Mikage: You're perfectly welcome to come and see what it's like, at least. Utena: Your Seminar is held in this building here, isn't it? Mikage: Yes, it is. Nemuro Memorial Hall. Mikage: I guess you've heard all the rumors concerning this building, haven't you? Mikage: If you're thinking about the story of a hundred boys dying here, that's true. Mikage: Long ago, there was a man known as Professor Nemuro. Mikage: There was a fire here, and his students were trapped inside and burned to death, they say. Mikage: And this Nemuro Memorial Hall was remodeled sometime after. Mikage: However, Mikage: ...that happened a long time ago. Utena: Anybody home? Utena: Akio-san? You here? Utena: He's not here... how strange. Mikage: Oh, you... Mikage: I've done nothing more than make a deal with you. Mikage: There's no reason for me to obey your orders. Akio: True. That is our contract. Akio: Ever since that time... boy: It doesn't seem to disappear too quickly, does it, Professor Nemuro? Mikage: Eh, what's that? boy: I was talking about the snow, Professor. Mikage: Stop calling me Professor. We're about the same age, you know. boy: But the distinction is important. boy: With a genius like you here, our project has been jumpstarted. Mikage: Really now, you're making too much of it. boy: Putting that aside, I didn't think they were this extreme in the secrecy. boy: We're being treated like spare parts, so to speak. Mikage: Didn't you agree to that when you made your contract with the Academy? boy: Yes, but we don't even know the research subject of our neighboring section. boy: Rumor has it that it has something to do with "the power to revolutionize the world," or some research about "grasping eternity." boy: Can't you even give us at least a hint? Mikage: Even I don't know anything beyond the rumors. Mikage: Furthermore, I'm not even interested. Mikage: By the way, there's been something I've been meaning to ask. boy: What is it? Mikage: What is that ring all of you wear on your left hands? boy: Oh, no special meaning. boy: It's the latest fashion. boy: So that's Professor Nemuro, the genius? And he really doesn't know about our current research subject? boy: Looks that way. But, the Professor's intellect is warranted by you-know-who. boy: His thesis is interesting, but the man himself is quite dry. boy: People who act like they don't care about anything are unsophisticated. boy: Let him act how he wants. That man is just like a computer. boy: We should use him for all he's worth. Mikage: At the time, I certainly was a computer-like man. Mikage: Though the computer is a peerless machine, machines themselves hold no purpose. Mikage: My dry self, those dry days... Mikage: And it is also true that I wasn't particularly interested in the research at that time. Mikage: And that which I participated in as a result wasn't progressing, but I didn't mind. Tokiko: You're the Research Coordinator, Professor Nemuro, right? Tokiko: I was sent by the Board of Directors. Tokiko: I'm here as their current inspector, Chida Tokiko. Pleased to meet you. Tokiko: The streets around here are bad. Tokiko: It must have been difficult, with the roads all slushy. Mikage: Yes, well... Mikage: You've called me all the way out to your house, so what do you want? Tokiko: It's too strong. Tokiko: The tea seems a bit too strong, Tokiko: ...even though I let it steam the same amount of time I usually do. Tokiko: I wonder if even an hourglass can run slow. Mikage: This job I was given is running its course as planned. Mikage: I can't guarantee completion, however. Tokiko: I know that you're not one for taking orders from others. Tokiko: Genius is a godly thing. Tokiko: Its spirit can't be tied down to earth. Mikage: I'm not a genius. Tokiko: Why are you contributing to this project? Mikage: Purely for business reasons. Mikage: As it is, I think I'm already working beyond my contract. Mikage: We've got one hundred excellent youths gathered together at Ohtori Academy, all pursuing this research. Mikage: They are saying that the purpose of this research is for the power to revolutionize the world, Mikage: ...or to grasp eternity, or something like that. Mikage: To even think of grasping eternity... Mikage: It sounds like they're trying to build a perpetual motion machine. Mikage: People should be humbly giving thanks for these God-given things. Tokiko: Yes, but you could... Tokiko: Excuse me for a moment. Tokiko: Mamiya! What are you doing? Tokiko: Weren't you told to stay in bed today? Mamiya: Yes, but I got a bit worried about the roses. Tokiko: Get back in bed right now! Mamiya: Okay, in a moment. Tokiko: What I hate the most is someone who doesn't look after themself. Tokiko: Sorry you had to see that. Tokiko: Hurry up and go to bed. Mamiya: You're Professor Nemuro, aren't you? Mikage: And you are? Mamiya: Chida Tokiko's brother, Mamiya. Mamiya: I've really wanted to meet you for the longest time. Mikage: Because of the strange and interesting rumors? Mikage: They say I'm a computer-like man. Mamiya: I've read your thesis. Mamiya: You're the first person I ever respected, except for my sister. Mamiya: My sister came to Ohtori Academy to meet you. Tokiko: Because you weren't sleeping quietly, that's why... Mamiya: I like it when you give me an injection. Tokiko: Don't say such stupid things, you brat. Tokiko: It's for his sake, that I'm involved in this. Tokiko: The doctors have told me that there's nothing left but to give up hope. Tokiko: But if the research succeeds... Mikage: The research has nothing to do with medicine. Mikage: Even if it is a success, it may not help your brother's illness. Tokiko: But, maybe I could grasp eternity for him. Tokiko: I'm sorry for crying like this. Mikage: It's all right. It feels like this is the first time I've ever seen a person's tears. Tokiko: Is there someone important in your life? Tokiko: Or perhaps those people known as geniuses never fall in love with other people? Mikage: So it would seem. Mikage: That is, up until today. boy: Professor Nemuro is awfully excited about the project recently, isn't he? boy: Didn't the Board of Directors send an inspector? boy: She really seems to be just right for the job. boy: Well, whatever you-know-who does is never in vain. boy: Then, does the Professor still not know what all this is about? Mikage: Shouldn't you be asleep right now? Mamiya: It's okay, I'm feeling a bit better today. Mikage: I see. Mamiya: The snow in this garden doesn't disappear so easily, does it? Mamiya: My sister was called out by the Board of Directors, so she probably won't be back until evening. Mikage: No, that's fine. Mikage: I only came here today to see your face. Mamiya: So, do you like it? Mamiya: It's a rose sugar-pickle. My sister makes them. Mamiya: These dry flowers are like them, too. Mamiya: She doesn't want to see the flowers scatter, you see. Mamiya: When she does this, even the shortlived flowers can be made to last a little longer. Mamiya: But, I wonder if the flowers themselves are happy, being forced to last so long. Mamiya: Eternity doesn't exist in this world, does it? Mamiya: It's just that one could think that a heart that longs for eternity is beautiful. Mikage: You don't think that what your sister and I are doing is going to succeed? Mamiya: I respect the two of you, and I'm grateful as well. Mikage: Thank you for having me. I'll be back again sometime. Mamiya: Professor Nemuro... Mikage: Yes? Mamiya: I'll be sure to tell my sister that you're worried about me. Akio: You still can't solve that equation? Mikage: This place is off-limits to outsiders. Akio: There are no outsiders here. Akio: Except for you, that is. Akio: That is the first step toward the power to revolutionize the world. Akio: That will set everything in motion. Mikage: Ridiculous... How could anyone even execute such a plan?! Mikage: That's the ring everyone wears, isn't it? Akio: It's the Rose Signet, the proof of a contract with me. Mikage: Contract? Akio: Yes. Akio: All of the one hundred youths working here are contracted to me. Mikage: That's crazy. What is this contract? Mikage: And these boys bound by that contract, why are you subjecting them to this? Mikage: Besides, even if I do grasp eternity by doing this, she won't be very happy. Akio: Ah, yes, her... Akio: I'll leave this Rose Signet for you. Should you ever desire eternity, then put it on. Akio: I suppose you have no choice but to revolutionize the world. Akio: The way before you has been prepared. Tokiko: Is it true? Did you do this? Tokiko: Is this... Is this your doing? Mamiya: Yes. Tokiko: Why? Tokiko: How could you do such a thing? Mikage: Those boys had a contract. Mikage: Ancient creatures died and left naught but fossil fuels, like coal and petroleum. Mikage: Without that sacrifice, our present energy civilization would not exist. Mikage: That sort of sacrifice is what is always demanded. Tokiko: What are you talking about? Mikage: This is the first step in the job you are advancing. Mikage: Soon, the road leading to eternity from this Academy will be opened. Tokiko: Nemuro-san... Mikage: What Mamiya-kun did was proper. Mikage: Now I, too, wish to grasp eternity. C-ko: Extra! Extra! Extra! C-ko: It's complete! The all-purpose robot made from the essences of science! C-ko: A robot does not age. A robot does not tire. C-ko: I catch the monkeys. C-ko: You are superior to humans. C-ko: A robot is superior. I catch many monkeys. C-ko: You cannot become worried. C-ko: A robot does not worry. C-ko: When I see a monkey, I catch it quickly! C-ko: A robot is not lonely. C-ko: I have all the monkeys I have caught. A robot can work indefinitely, and can catch many monkeys. Tokiko: But those who look at you get lonely. C-ko: A monkey! A monkey! Akio: You... It's been quite a while. Tokiko: The Academy has changed a lot. Tokiko: Just now over there, I saw Professor Nemuro. Utena: Now look, you don't have to do what these unknown people tell you! Anthy: But I can't help it. Anthy: I am the Rose Bride, after all. Utena: Stupid! Utena: What I hate the most is someone who doesn't look after themself. Mikage: Tokiko... Tokiko: He hasn't aged a bit since then, just like you, hmm? Akio: As long as they stay in this garden we call the Academy, a person will never become an adult. Tokiko: There's something wrong with that, though... Akio: Are you leading a normal life? Tokiko: Yes, I am. My husband is a kind and generous man. Akio: What did you come here for today? Tokiko: I came to visit my brother's... Mamiya's... grave. Tokiko: Say, even you should know. To bear fruit, flowers have to cast off their petals. Akio: Yes, indeed. 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: Kanae-san, Kozue-chan, and Wakaba. Utena: Who could be the puppet master pulling their strings and forcing them to fight against their will? Anthy: Hmm, I have no idea. Utena: By the way, that genius high school student from Nemuro Memorial Hall says he will help me with anything. Utena: Mikage Souji: I guess I'll try to find the courage to consult with him. Anthy: Sure, whatever you say, Utena-sama. Utena: Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Qualifications of a Duelist Anthy: The Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE None.
