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.



girl       I hear there's going to be a duel in the kendo
	   dojo!
girl       Touga-sempai and Saionji-sempai again?
Utena      A duel?
girl       Yeah, go for it!
girl       Dreamy!
girl       Oh, Touga-sama, look over here!
girl       Dreamy! Cool!
girl       Get him, Saionji-sempai!
girl       Sempai!
girl       Hooray! Hooray! Touga-sama!
girl       Get him! Get him, Saionji!
boy        Shh, they're starting.
Utena      Heh... he's pretty good.
Utena      Guess he's not just some Casanova, after all.
Utena      Looks like Mr. President won this one.
girl       Saionji-sempai!
girl       Touga-sempai is the greatest!
Girls      Oh, you are my prince!
Utena      Prince?
girl       He's so cool!
Touga      Hey, now...
Touga      Don't look at me so grimly... my dear friend.
Saionji    Who's your dear friend?
Touga      How heartless...
Touga      Aren't you my one and only friend?
Saionji    Enough!
Saionji    I'll NOT be defeated by the likes of you!
Title      The Castle Said To Hold Eternity
Saionji    What a pain in the ass you are, hanging around
	   Anthy all the time!
Utena      Look who's talking!
Utena      Stubborn people are the most hated, Sempai.
Saionji    So it's you, Tenjou Utena.
Saionji    Don't get carried away.
Saionji    I will defeat you in the next duel and take Anthy
	   back.
Saionji    Shut up!
Utena      You, beat me?
Utena      You just got beaten by Kiryuu Touga a little while
	   ago.
Saionji    You were watching?
Saionji    I've fought hundreds of duels with him over the
	   past 10 years.
Saionji    Today was just luck.
Utena      Wow... you've known each other that long?
Saionji    I will not lose to him.
Saionji    And I will take possession of the Rose Bride.
Utena      Do you really love Himemiya?
Utena      If you do, why are you trying to win her by
	   dueling?
Saionji    Only by winning her in a duel can I defeat him.
Utena      By him, you mean Touga?
Utena      Is this just some rivalry with Touga?
Utena      Are you just using Himemiya to get at him?
Saionji    You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
Saionji    With Anthy by my side, I will gain something
	   eternal.
Utena      Eternal?
Saionji    That's right.
Saionji    She told me that she, too, wants to obtain
	   eternity.
Saionji    I told you it was gonna rain.
Saionji    That's why I told you to stop at the 10th match.
Touga      Oh, well. There isn't anyone good enough to
	   practice with besides you.
Saionji    Well... I guess...
Saionji    What is it, Touga?
Touga      It's a funeral.
Saionji    I wonder who died...
Man1       Hey, you there!
Man1       You two haven't seen a girl about your age around
	   here, have you?
Touga      What happened?
Man1       There was a girl who lost her parents in an
	   accident today.
Man1       She disappeared when we weren't looking.
Touga      Well, we haven't seen her.
Man1       I see... OK, thanks.
Man2       She couldn't have been spirited away, could she?
Man1       That's a pretty stupid thing to say.
Man1       Let's look around here a little longer.
Saionji    Talking about being 'spirited away' in this day and
	   age...
Saionji    Touga...
Saionji    Hey!
Saionji    Are we allowed to go in here?
Saionji    Hey, wait!
Touga      It was three coffins, all right.
Touga      I could see them through a crack in the doors back
	   then.
Saionji    What?
Saionji    What are you doing?
Saionji    Touga!
Saionji    Hey, stop it. Don't do that. Stop it.
Saionji    STOP IT!!!
Utena      Don't open it.
Utena      Please, don't open it.
Saionji    She's been hiding in a place like this?
Touga      Everyone's been looking for you.
girl       Are you going to tell someone I'm in here?
Touga      No, I won't tell anyone.
Saionji    Hey...
Touga      I'm always on the girl's side...
Touga      ...because I am a gentleman.
Saionji    Still, why have you been hiding in a place like
	   this?
girl       Because this is where I belong.
Saionji    What do you mean?
girl       There are coffins lined up next to mine, right?
girl       My father and mother died today.
girl       And there was one coffin left over.
girl       It must have been meant for me.
girl       Being alive is kind of sickening.
Touga      I see...
girl       It's sickening...
girl       Why does everyone go on living knowing they'll end
	   up dying anyway?
girl       I wonder why I never realized that until today.
girl       Eternity couldn't possibly exist, could it?
Saionji    Eternity?
girl       And so, it's all right now.
girl       I will never leave this coffin.
Saionji    But someone will find you, eventually.
girl       Then I'll just go hide in another coffin.
girl       I'll never see anyone, or come out into the sun
	   again.
Saionji    Wait! Don't you think she might do something stupid
	   if we leave her like that?
Touga      Then, why don't you show her something eternal?
Saionji    The next day, she'd come out of the coffin.
Saionji    And there was something about the look in her
	   eyes...
Saionji    Did you do something to her after what happened
	   yesterday?
Touga      No, nothing.
Saionji    However, I thought for sure that he must've shown
	   her something eternal.
Saionji    Kiryuu Touga...
Saionji    He's always ahead of me, going to a world I don't
	   know.
Anthy      Someday, I want to go to that castle hanging in the
	   sky.
Anthy      There is something eternal up there.
Saionji    You've seen that castle hanging in the sky, too,
	   haven't you?
Saionji    In that castle is eternity.
Saionji    I'm going there with her.
Saionji    I won't lose to Touga!
Juri       By the way, Tenjou Utena said she had met a prince
	   when she was very young.
Micky      A prince?
Juri       Yes.
Juri       She said she came to the academy to see a prince
	   she met when she was very young.
Touga      She's quite the romantic.
Touga      A prince, eh?
Touga      I see.



Narration  "That ring will guide you to me."
Narration  It was undoubtedly the princess's first love.
Narration  And so, was the ring from the prince meant as an
	   engagement ring?
Utena      I'll see you again, won't I?
Utena      Hey! That's cold! What the heck are you doing!?
Touga      You looked awfully lonesome from back here.
Utena      It's none of your business.
Touga      What are you doing up here, hmm?
Utena      Do you know something... about that castle?
Touga      Castle?
Utena      That castle hanging in the sky that you can see
	   from the duel arena...
Utena      ...I wonder what it really is.
Touga      That castle is the place where you and your prince
	   are supposed to meet someday.
Utena      Somebody told you something they shouldn't have,
	   huh?
Touga      Wasn't your prince a guy like me?
Utena      Stop it!
Utena      Quit jerking me around.
Utena      This ain't no joke.
Saionji    From the Ends of the World?
A-Ko       Oh! A UFO!
B-Ko       Where, where, where, where... where?
B-Ko       Oh, for crying out loud... it's just a shooting
	   star.
A-Ko       No, no, NO! It's a UFO!
A-Ko       It flew across the sky all jittery, uh, I mean,
	   zigzaggy.
B-Ko       In that case, it's a shooting star flying
	   zigzaggy.
B-Ko       There's no way UFOs could exist!
A-Ko       It was when I was in kindergarten...
B-Ko       What was?
A-Ko       ...that they said Santa Claus didn't exist.
B-Ko       Oh gawd...
A-Ko       It's OK though. I understand.
B-Ko       Understand what?
A-Ko       Wizards,
A-Ko       fairies,
A-Ko       princes on white horses,
A-Ko       and kind-hearted friends...
A-Ko       ...are only found in fantasy.
Both       It's okay, though. I understand.
A-Ko       And so, at least I still have UFOs...
B-Ko       That's kinda tricky, ain't it?
A-Ko       Oops, they're broken.
Utena      Hey, Himemiya.
Utena      It's supper time.
Utena      Chuchu, where's your owner?
Utena      She hasn't come back yet? That's unusual.
Utena      Could that be her?
Utena      Okay, okay.
Utena      Hello, East Hall, 2nd floor...
Phone      Himemiya Anthy will be spirited away tonight.
Utena      What?
Phone      Go to the duel arena.
Utena      Who are you?
Utena      Hey!
Anthy      Please stop, Saionji-sempai.
Anthy      You're hurting me.
Anthy      I have to go home now, or Utena-sama will be
	   worried.
Saionji    And what of Utena-sama?
Saionji    I'm the one keeping the promise with you.
Anthy      Promise?
Saionji    Correct. Tonight, we'll finally be able to go to
	   the castle said to hold eternity.
Anthy      No, you mustn't.
Anthy      It's not allowed for anyone not engaged to me to
	   take me to the duel arena without the arrangement of a duel.
Saionji    The Ends of the World told me that the castle would
	   fall tonight.
Saionji    I won't let anybody else have you.
Saionji    The one to obtain eternity with you...
Saionji    ...WILL BE ME!
Utena      Sheesh, what the...
Utena      Sa... Saionji?
Utena      Saionji, wake up!
Saionji    Tenjou...
Utena      Where's Himemiya?
Saionji    Anthy...
Utena      What are you up to?
Utena      I thought you couldn't take her back without
	   beating me in a duel, right?
Saionji    What the hell are you doing here?
Utena      I was told to come here because Himemiya would be
	   spirited away.
Saionji    Spirited away?
Saionji    Spirited away...
Saionji    Spirited away...
Saionji    Anthy...
Saionji    Where's Anthy?
Utena      That's what I'm asking you.
Saionji    Hey!
Saionji    Did you open it?
Utena      No, not me.
Saionji    Impossible...
Utena      Hey, wait!
Utena      What the...
Saionji    This...
voice      Please don't open it.
voice      Eternity couldn't possibly exist, could it?
Utena      Himemiya...
Saionji    Anthy!
Saionji    What?
Utena      What the...
Utena      Himemiya!
Saionji    Tenjou!
Utena      What's going on here?
Utena      Anyway, I've gotta save Himemiya!
Saionji    The castle... the castle's falling down.
Saionji    Here I am, Ends of the World!
Saionji    Now fulfill your promise and deliver eternity unto
	   me!
Utena      HIMEMIYA!!!!!
Saionji    What's this? What's going on here?
Saionji    What the hell was that?
Utena      Himemiya... Himemiya...
Utena      Himemiya! Hey, snap out of it, Himemiya!
Saionji    No... I was to be the one to rescue her from the
	   coffin this time.
Saionji    No! I am the one who will save her this time. The
	   castle said to contain eternity...
Saionji    the power to revolutionize the world...
Saionji    ...will all be mine.
Saionji    The one who will accompany Anthy to that castle
	   will be me!
Utena      Himemiya...
Utena      Himemiya! Himemiya!
Anthy      Utena-sama...
Utena      I'm so glad...
Utena      But, what on earth happened?
Anthy      Actually, I'm not quite sure...
Anthy      Utena-sama!
Utena      Touga! Why?
Touga      Wasn't your prince...
Touga      ...someone like me?
Saionji    Why do you always...
Touga      I'm a gentleman, that's why.
Touga      It's me.
Touga      Yes, the letter sent to Saionji tonight was from
	   me.
Touga      Right, in your name.
Touga      No, it's just a flesh wound.
Touga      Well, just a few dramatics.
Touga      Yes, Saionji will be punished by expulsion.
Touga      Nonsense.
Touga      Anyone who truly believes he has friends is a
	   fool.

Utena      Touga got injured protecting me.
Anthy      It's not your fault at all, Utena-sama.
