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.



voice      Once upon a time...
voice      ...there was a princess grieving over the deaths of
	   her mother and father.
voice      Before this princess there 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 Great Curry High-Trip
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.
Nanami     This will be your punishment for trying to tempt my
	   brother!
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     Be quiet, it's getting good now.
Keiko      I'm sorry, but, um..
Nanami     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 will blast you to smithereens and make
	   phantom elephants trumpet loudly.
Nanami     Phantom... smithereens?
Nanami     No way...
Touga      If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will
	   die without being born.
Touga      We are the chick; the egg is the world.
Touga      If the world's shell does not break, we will die
	   without being born.
Touga      Break the world's shell.
Touga&Juri For the sake of revolutionizing the world!
Touga      Councilors, this is the greatest disaster for the
	   Rose Signet Code.
Touga      The Rose Bride and the one she is engaged to have
	   fallen.
Touga      This was an unforseen turn of events, even for the
	   Ends of the World.
Touga      I have a report that at this rate their lives are
	   in danger.
Miki       It's my fault.
Touga      Miki.
Miki       I kept telling Himemiya-san how I wanted to eat
	   extremely hot curry.
Miki       Risking her life for me, Himemiya-san made
	   curry...
Touga      Well, that doesn't mean it's your fault, Miki.
Juri       But, what do we do now?
Juri       The truth is that just one batch of curry ruined
	   our plot.
Miki       It's all my fault.
Touga      It's me. What?
Touga      They were released? Both of them?
Wakaba     Utena, Utena! Utena-sama!
Wakaba     Boy, you had me worried!
Wakaba     Are you all right?
Wakaba     I heard there was a huge explosion, and I was
	   worried to death, and... Huh?
Wakaba     I'm sorry!
Wakaba     I wasn't thinking, hugging you like always.
Wakaba     I should call an ambulance, yeah, ah, um, ah...
Anthy      There's no need to call an ambulance.
Anthy      I'm fine. Sorry to have worried you.
Wakaba     There's something strange about you, Utena.
Keiko      You're in an awfully good mood lately.
Aiko       But don't get all proud with that tomboy around you
	   all the time.
Yuuko      Some nights it gets really dark, you know?
Keiko      Hey, don't just stand there, say something.
Miki       What are you doing?
Nanami     Oh, Micky! Don't sneak up on me like that.
Miki       Himemiya-san!
Keiko      You... you slapped me!
Keiko      Not even my own mother has ever slapped me!
Utena      If you keep up these petty false accusations,
Utena      I'll really become your enemy.
Miki       It... it can't be...
Miki       The pure, innocent Himemiya-san has...
Nanami     Switched personalities?
Keiko      These are the hidden photos of them over the past
	   days.
Aiko       Himemiya Anthy, Tenjou Utena... their behaviour
	   patterns are completely switched.
Nanami     It's true, but how?
Keiko      Everything dates back to that curry explosion.
Nanami     Utena is Anthy, and Anthy is Utena?
Nanami     All because of that 900 Billion X spice...
Nanami     That's crazy...
girl       Five, please.
Aiko       That'll be 2000 yen.
girl       Gallant Anthy is cooler than I expected.
girl       Calm Utena is attractive, too.
Nanami     You're selling them...?
Aiko       Their charm is unexpected, isn't it?
Keiko      They're popular with both boys and girls.
Miki       My goodness!
Miki       This, this can't be Himemiya-san!
Miki       But, now that I've bought them, I can't stand
	   myself.
Yuuko      Okay, you wanted 20, right?
Keiko&Aiko Thank you.
Nanami     Really, I don't see what's so great about her.
Touga      I see, so that's how it is.
Nanami     Onii-sama!
Touga      I thought it seemed suspicious,
Touga      but I didn't think that you actually were involved
	   in all this.
Nanami     N- no, I, um, ah, well, that is...
Aiko       Here are the negatives.
Keiko      Thank you.
Nanami      Et tu, Onii-sama?
Utena      I see, so that's how it was.
Utena      So you all were behind this.
Touga      I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding.
Nanami     That's right, a misunderstanding.
Nanami     My brother would never make passes at you two.
Nanami     This was all MY doing.
Touga      Nanami!
Touga      You've gotten me into a very troubling situation.
Nanami     Please forgive me, Onii-sama.
Nanami     When they were going to make delicious curry during
	   Anthy-san's cooking practice,
Nanami     Nanami got this phantom Indian spice especially for
	   them.
Nanami     But I can't believe it caused all of this.
Utena      You're the one I can't believe.
Nanami     If we could just get the phantom spice once more,
Nanami     I'm sure Utena-san and Anthy-san would be able to
	   return to their old selves.
Nanami     So, please, Onii-sama!
Touga      Okay. You may not return until you once more have
	   the phantom spice.
Nanami     I understand. Thank you, Onii-sama.
Keiko      She said it but, I wonder where is the phantom
	   spice?
Yuuko      Well, it came from India, didn't it?
Keiko&Aiko India?!
Nanami     Wait for me, Onii-sama! I shall return!
Keiko&Aiko You mean we're supposed to go with her, too?
Ako        A lesson on the idioms of love and youth.
Ako        Today's phrase is "You reap what you sow."
Bko        "You reap what you sow."
Ako        It means that if you do bad things, then misfortune
	   will befall you.
Bko        Give me your money!
Bko        What the hell?
Ako        If you're going to do bad things, you must be
	   prepared for that.
Anthy      Utena-sama, that's wonderful.
Utena      Well, it feels weird being praised by my own body.
Anthy      You see, I'm not very good at sports,
Anthy      so seeing my own body acting so wonderfully makes
	   me happy.
Utena      But, we gotta think of a way to return to normal.
Anthy      Don't worry.
Anthy      I'm sure even now Nanami-san is...



Utena      Anyway, it'll be bad if we don't find a way to
	   return to our old bodies soon.
Utena      I don't want to be the victim of the Rose Signet.
Anthy      I don't mind being like this, because I don't judge
	   by outside appearances.
Utena      Well, I do mind. Saionji has been coming on to me.
Saionji    I've been waiting, Himemiya Anthy.
Utena      See, here he comes.
Saionji    It's that time again. Follow me.
Anthy      Could I go with you?
Saionji    You can stay here. Come on, Anthy.
Nanami     You really helped me. When that elephant was
	   chasing me I thought it was all over.
Nanami     By the way, have you heard of the Phantom 900
	   Billion X spice?
man        Phantom?
Saionji    I have longed for this day.
Utena      Oh, Himemiya, what are you usually doing with
	   Saionji in a place like this?
Saionji    Anthy, I'll get right to the point: I need you to
	   keep your promise.
Utena      Uh, what was that again?
Saionji    As always, you're good at teasing me.
Saionji    Well, if that's how you're going to be then I'll
	   say it.
Saionji    Today is one of the two days that we prove our love
	   each week.
Utena      Prove our love?!
Saionji    The same as always.
Utena      W, wait a minute.
Saionji    Even if we defy fate itself, our bond is genuine.
Saionji    Even though we must keep it a secret for now.
Saionji    Don't turn your eyes away. Look at me, the real
	   me.
Utena      No! No!
Saionji    Here you will see nothing but the truth... in our
	   exchange diary.
Utena      Huh? Diary?
Nanami     Phantom spice...
Nanami     Phantom spice...
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     An elephant?
Saionji    Now I am content with just this diary for the
	   moment,
Saionji    but someday, when I master the sword, I'll show
	   everyone I can get you back.
Saionji    Wait for that day, Anthy.
Utena      That Saionji. He's serious.
Utena      I'm sure that since she knew his feelings,
Utena      she just continued the diary for him and kept it a
	   secret even from me.
Utena      But, what can I do?
Utena      The best way would be to ask her to write a
	   response to him,
Utena      but if I do that Saionji and Himemiya will know
	   that I know their secret.
Utena      And, of course, I can't write it myself.
Anthy      Ah, Saionji-sempai's exchange diary.
Anthy      Well, Utena-sama, please return it to Sempai.
Utena      Huh? You mean, are you telling me to write it?
Anthy      Because now Utena-sama is Himemiya Anthy.
Utena      I can't spy on your privacy. That's just wrong.
Anthy      Wrong?
Utena      Yeah, it's wrong.
Anthy      Well, then, I'll quit.
Utena      Wait a minute, what are you doing? That's a bit
	   extreme.
Utena      You can't just throw it away!
Anthy      I was only continuing the diary because you never
	   said to stop, Utena-sama.
Anthy      Now that you've said it was wrong, Utena-sama,
Anthy      I can't continue with Saionji- sempai's exchange
	   diary.
Utena      What I want to say is...
Anthy      Yes?
Utena      Well, Saionji has gotten to be really pathetic.
Anthy      Ah!
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     Not again!
Utena      Ah, the only thing to do is write it. Let's see...
Utena      Dear Anthy, even now I'm dreaming of the time you
	   and I were engaged.
Utena      Hey, look, he's really serious, isn't he?
Saionji    To my beloved Anthy,
Saionji    I'm sorry for making you wait all the time.
Saionji    I'm satisfied with the diary for now,
Saionji    but surely I'll overthrow that impudent, ugly
	   tomboy Tenjou...
Saionji    and surely I'll show them I can get you back.
Saionji    By, Saionji Kyouichi.
Utena      This ain't funny at all.
Nanami     Where's the spice? The phantom spice?
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Saionji    Anthy, it's almost here, the day I return to a rose
	   colored life with you.
Touga      This is unusual, Saionji. You, showing your face at
	   the rose garden...
Saionji    Listen well, Touga. The Rose Bride will soon return
	   to me.
Touga      Oh, Anthy?
Saionji    No one can tear apart our love... surely not even
	   the Rose Signet Code.
Touga      Oh, Anthy?
Utena      Saionji-sempai!
Saionji    Oh, Anthy, I've been waiting for you.
Utena      Forgive me, but I couldn't stop laying bare all my
	   thoughts.
Utena      Please, take it.
Saionji    So, you think that much of me. I'll take only your
	   true intentions. Well...
Miki       Sempai, I just now heard that Nanami-san has
	   returned.
Touga      What?
Diary       Casanova
Nanami     Onii-sama!
Touga      Nanami, you've become strong.
Nanami     I found it! This is the phantom spice!
Touga      Well done, Nanami!
Utena      All right, with this we can return to our old
	   selves!
Nanami     Onii-sama!
Touga      Nanami!
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.
Utena      200 years?
Ako        Could this be a case of "Reaping what you sow?"
Bko        Could it be?
Nanami     The spice, the rare phantom spice I took all that
	   trouble to obtain...
Utena      We'll be like this forever?
Anthy      Now, now, everyone please don't get depressed.
Anthy      Please have some of my special curry and try to
	   cheer up.
Utena      I don't really feel like eating curry but...
Keiko      Nanami-sama...
Nanami     What is it? Silence!
Keiko      I'm sorry but, look at this.
Miki       Th- That's...
Nanami     The phantom 900 Billion X spice.
Utena      What?
Aiko       It was left in the cooking room.
Aiko       Unopened...
Keiko      It looks like it was never used in that curry.
Utena      So that means that explosion...
Nanami     wasn't caused by the spice...
Utena&Nana It was from Anthy's cooking skills?
Miki       That's incredible, Himemiya-san!
Miki       This is a new invention, curry that explodes and
	   causes a personality switch when eaten.
Anthy      Oh, you're embarrassing me.
Utena      Saionji...
Saionji    Anthy, what is this?
Saionji    Since when would you so calmly write such shameless
	   things?
Saionji    That's it, it's because you've been living with
	   that vulgar Tenjou Utena.
Saionji    Now I see, Anthy.
Saionji    I'll pretend I never read that, so please re- write
	   it. Fill a new page with words of love.
Anthy      Well, how is the curry?
Anthy      It's a new invention, you know.
Saionji    Yes, it's just right this time.
Utena      That, that curry is...
Anthy      My new invention.
Wakaba     So, when you came to after the explosion's shock
	   you were both your old selves again?
Utena      You got it.
Wakaba     Huh, unbelievable.
Utena      I had a really hard time. No more curry for me.
Anthy      Yes.
Utena      By the way...
Anthy      Yes?
Utena      What's with him?
