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.



Wakaba     I've waited to meet you for a very long time.
Wakaba     I was born to meet you.
Wakaba     Isn't that right, my prince?
Utena      You look happy. Did something good happen to you?
Wakaba     Yep, something good happened!
Wakaba     Ta-da!
Wakaba     Making my dearest, dearest Utena-sama a pretty lunch
	   like this, I'm so happy!  
Utena      You sure are an ordinary girl, Wakaba.
Utena      I'm sure you'll make a good bride.
Wakaba     You bet! You bet!
Utena      This octopus-shaped wiener is a superb piece of work!
Wakaba     Yep! "Aaah..."
Utena      Aaah...
Tatsuya    Uh...
Tatsuya    Uhm, nice to meet you. My name is Kazami Tatsuya, of
	   Class D, Grade 8. 
Utena      Oh.
Tatsuya    Tenjou-san, please read this.
Letter     Tenjou Utena-sama
Wakaba     Kazami Tatsuya of Class D, Grade 8.
Utena      Wakaba! Sorry, don't feel bad.
Tatsuya    No.
Wakaba     Kazami Tatsuya?
Utena      But, to me, stuff like this...
Wakaba     Wah, Kazami Tatsuya!
Tatsuya    Yes?
Wakaba     I remember! You're Prince Onion, aren't you?
Utena      P- Prince Onion?
Wakaba     Hey, it's me! I was with you in elementary
	   school. Shinohara Wakaba! 
Tatsuya    Um, Wakaba?
Wakaba     It's been a long time!
Wakaba     I never knew you were in this academy, too.
Wakaba     I thought this name looked really familiar to me.
Wakaba     I thought, "Could it be deja vu?" But no wonder it
	   looked so familiar. 
Title      Song of the Fallen Kingdom
Utena      So, what is Prince Onion?
Wakaba     Why do you look so sulky?
Utena      I missed my chance to return that letter!
Wakaba     I'll give it back for you.
Utena      I can't let you do that.
Utena      Proper etiquette, you know. I'll return it.
Wakaba     It's all right. That guy is no one that you should
	   worry about, Utena. 
Wakaba     But, be careful. He only talks{\i0} nice.
Utena      That's an awful thing to say.
Wakaba     He's still what he was. He's always chasing tail,
	   flirting with the girls. 
Utena      Oh, come on.
Wakaba     That kind of guy lowers the value of men all over the world.
Utena      Now isn't that taking it a bit far?
Wakaba     He's a cruel man.
Utena      Wakaba?
Wakaba     He's a cruel bastard.
Wakaba     Because... he transferred out without telling me.
Utena      Wakaba...
Wakaba     He was once my prince, that guy...
boys       Nya nya, onion head!
Wakaba     Shut up, pumpkin and white radish!
Wakaba     I have Prince Onion!
Tatsuya    Huh?
Wakaba     I have Prince Onion!
Tatsuya    Huh?
Wakaba     I have Prince Onion!
Tatsuya    Huh?
Wakaba     I have Prince Onion!
Tatsuya    Huh?
Wakaba     Well, it's an old story, you know.
Utena      Prince, huh?
Wakaba     What is it?
Utena      Actually, you feel it's fate or something, don't you?
Wakaba     That's not it.
girl       Wakaba!
Wakaba     She told me to return this.
Wakaba     To begin with, Utena and Tatsuya are not a good match.
Tatsuya    It's 'cause you said something weird.
Wakaba     What're you talking about?
Tatsuya    'Cause you told Tenjou-san about weird stuff like
	   Prince Pumpkin or something.  
Wakaba     It's Prince Onion.
Tatsuya    It doesn't matter whichever it is.
Wakaba     It does matter!
Wakaba     It does matter. It's important to me.
Wakaba     It might be something you don't care about, Tatsuya,
Wakaba     ...but to me, it's a precious memory, so...
Tatsuya    Anyway, can you introduce me to her once more?
Wakaba     All right.
Wakaba     If you insist, I'll introduce you,
Wakaba     ...but that's all.
Nanami     Micky, could I ask you to play the piano again at
	   tomorrow's party? 
Miki       Sure.
Juri       Speaking of which,
Juri       ...aren't you always playing the piano with just one
	   person in mind, Miki? 
Miki       Juri-san, please don't tease me.
Nanami     Humph, honestly...
Nanami     Stop playing while thinking about her{\i0} already.
Miki       It must be nice to be you, Nanami-san.
Miki       You can satisfy your desire with a grade schooler.
Nanami     Shut up! That's just play, P-L-A-Y.
Nanami     My feelings of true love are for only one man.
Nanami     Therefore, the form of love is eternal.
Nanami     Onii-sama...
Miki       You mean all but your brother are worthless, don't you?
Juri       So there's only one feeling of true love, hmm?
Juri       If you could easily switch whom you love, you two would
	   be able to feel more relief.  
Juri       I guess that goes for me too.



Utena      I'm still wondering if he is the prince that Wakaba
	   said she can't get her mind off.  
Akio       What're we talking about?
Utena      Well, my friend happened to reunite with her childhood
	   friend. 
Utena      See, they're not being honest about it,
Utena      ...and I'm wondering if the prince she's waiting for
	   isn't really him. 
Akio       That's a lovely story.
Utena      Oh, I'm sorry, I'm always the one to talk here.
Akio       I don't mind.
Akio       But, Tenjou-san...
Akio       The inside of a person's heart is like something veiled
	   in silk. Ahh... 
Akio       It seems like you could see through, but in fact you can't.
Akio       The prince people hold inside their heart...
Akio       ...is surely something that others wouldn't understand.
Akio       But, I envy young people who are in love.
Akio       I hope you, too, will find your own prince soon, Anthy.
Anthy      Yes, Onii-sama.
Wakaba     Get it, Utena? You just need to have some tea and make
	   do somehow. 
Utena      Somehow...?
Wakaba     Yep.
Utena      Have some tea and make do?
Wakaba     Yep.
Utena      I got it. I'll do it for a certain someone's sake, too.
Wakaba     What's that supposed to mean?
Tatsuya    Hello! Sorry I'm late.
Wakaba     You're late! How long were you going to make us wait?
Tatsuya    Sorry, sorry.
Tatsuya    Uhm, who's this?
Utena      Oh, I'll introduce you. This is Himemiya Anthy, my roommate.
Tatsuya    Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Kazami Tatsuya.
Anthy      Hello, I'm Himemiya.
Anthy      And this is Chuchu.
Tatsuya    Hello, I'm Kazami Tatsuya. Pleased to meet you, Chuchu.
Wakaba     What's the use of making eyes at a monkey?
Tatsuya    What's that supposed to mean?
Wakaba     That part of you hasn't changed one bit.
Tatsuya    Stop talking like that in front of everyone.
Wakaba     But it's true, isn't it? You're always cozying up to girls.
Tatsuya    That wasn't what I...
Tatsuya    What about you, Wakaba? Why are you accusing me like
	   that? It's strange. 
Wakaba     I...
Wakaba     Never mind, it's nothing.
Tatsuya    What is it?
Wakaba     It's nothing.
Tatsuya    If you want to say something, then say it!
Wakaba     I'm telling you, it's nothing!
Wakaba     Come on, you have something to say to Utena, don't you?
Tatsuya    Yeah.
Tatsuya    Say, Tenjou-san, are you seeing someone at the moment?
Utena      I'm not dating anyone right now,
Utena      ...but I'm still thinking about the prince that gave me
	   this ring long ago. 
Tatsuya    Prince, huh? That's kind of nice and dreamy.
Utena      Speaking of which, it seems the princess near you now
	   has a prince she can't stop thinking of.  
Utena      Right, Wakaba?
Wakaba     Wh- What are you talking about, Utena?
Utena      Prince Onion is nice and dreamy, right?
Wakaba     No way!
Wakaba     My prince is...
Wakaba     My prince is...
Wakaba     He is...
Utena      Why don't you become a little more honest, Wakaba?
Wakaba     That's not it{\i0}! Ooh, Utena, you're just picking on me!
Tatsuya    A- Wakaba!
Tatsuya    Um, Tenjou-san?
Utena      What?
Tatsuya    What did you mean when you said "Wakaba's prince" just now?
Utena      She's pretending to be strong, but she is a girl after all.
Utena      It might be that she can't forget about the prince she
	   met so long ago. 
Wakaba     I have Prince Onion on my side!
Wakaba     To me, it's a precious memory, so...
Tatsuya    Tenjou-san...
Utena      What?
Tatsuya    Actually, when I transferred to this academy, I knew
	   Wakaba was here. 
Tatsuya    She hasn't changed at all since the days I knew her.
Tatsuya    You were always right next to her all the time she
	   looked happy, Tenjou-san.  
Tatsuya    If I could be with you...
Utena      Then you could be with Wakaba, too?
Utena      So that's why you sent me a love-letter, isn't it?
Tatsuya    I'm sorry. That girl's so shy.
Tatsuya    I thought she was only calling me Prince Onion to make
	   fun of me, 
Tatsuya    ...but I was wrong, wasn't I?
Utena      Well, I don't know any further than that.
Utena      The prince people hold inside their heart...
Utena      ...is surely something that others wouldn't understand.
Utena      But I think it's worth it to confess.
Tatsuya    Thank you very much!
Utena      But did I do the right thing?
Anthy      About what?
Utena      About Tatsuya-kun and Wakaba.
Anthy      It's alright. Romance is like, what will happen will happen.
Utena      That's true, but...
card       Utena, you meanie!!
Utena      Huh? Oh, great...
C-ko       Extra! Extra! Extra!
C-ko       Step right up, step right up! Fresh tires for sale!
C-ko       Today, tire shop's sale!
C-ko       I'll take one.
C-ko       But mister, what is a tire shop?
C-ko       How good of you to ask, ma'am!
C-ko       Fish shops...
C-ko       ...sell fish.
C-ko       Bread shops...
C-ko       ...sell bread.
C-ko       And we're a tire shop, so we sell tires.
C-ko       Telling good tires from bad ones takes quite a bit of
	   experience. 
C-ko       You can't easily tell if it tastes good or bad just by
	   looking. 
C-ko       Well, please give me one of those tires.
C-ko       Thank you!
C-ko       Have your husband eat something invigorating!
C-ko       Oh, come on... tire-shop owner...
C-ko       Now, how will I cook this tire up for dinner, I wonder?
Utena      Is that edible?
Tatsuya    Wakaba...
Tatsuya    Do you have a minute?
Wakaba     Now what? You sound serious.
Wakaba     What's wrong?
Tatsuya    Wakaba, there's someone you like now, isn't there?
Wakaba     What?
Tatsuya    You're in love with your prince now, aren't you?
Tatsuya    Look, you should be honest at important times.
Wakaba     I'm always honest.
Tatsuya    Prince, huh?
Wakaba     What?
Tatsuya    Well, I was just thinking you might want to know your
	   prince's feelings, too.  
Wakaba     My prince's feelings?
Tatsuya    But, just as you finally realized your own feelings,
Tatsuya    ...maybe you have already realized your prince's
	   feelings, too. 
Wakaba     Can a childhood friend find even that out?
Tatsuya    Of course.
Wakaba     You're right.
Wakaba     You're right. I've finally realized that I really was
	   in love with that prince.  
Wakaba     And maybe, with the grace of God, that prince will turn
	   around and look at me.  
Wakaba     Maybe...maybe finally I can become happy too.
Tatsuya    Well, then, you do know that.
Tatsuya    You can become happy.
Wakaba     Tatsuya...
Tatsuya    Wakaba...
Wakaba     But, will you keep this a secret from everyone?
Tatsuya    Yeah, if it's going to embarrass you, let's keep it a
	   secret from everyone. 
Wakaba     I still can't believe it, but I finally found
	   happiness, didn't I? 
Tatsuya    Yeah.
Wakaba     You, too, find somebody quickly and become happy.
Tatsuya    Yeah, I'll find somebody quickly, too... Huh?
Wakaba     Well, that's it. I've got to go now. I shouldn't make
	   him wait too long. 
Tatsuya    Make who?
Wakaba     My prince, of course.
Wakaba     See you!
Tatsuya    By "my prince," she means...
Tatsuya    Uh, excuse me? Is anyone here?
hand       INTERVIEW CHAMBER
Tatsuya    Excuse me?
Tatsuya    Isn't anyone here?
Tatsuya    Uh, I haven't got an appointment,
Tatsuya    ...but would it be okay?
door        OCCUPIED
Tatsuya    Sorry for just barging in here. I'm Kazami Tatsuya, in
	   the 8th grade, Class D.  
Mikage     Then, please begin.
Tatsuya    Well, I heard the rumor.
Tatsuya    That you can have a consultation here when you're in trouble.
Tatsuya    There was a girl I had been watching for a long time.
Tatsuya    She was a princess to me alone.
Tatsuya    But, she left me to see another man.
Tatsuya    I'm sure she is being deceived.
Tatsuya    Oh, and she was such an innocent girl...
Tatsuya    I'm sure he'll do all sorts of bad things to her,
	   like... or... or even... 
Tatsuya    But it's okay. No matter how much of her purity she'll
	   lose, she'll come back to me.  
Tatsuya    Because of my love for her.
Tatsuya    Yes, 'cause in the end, love always wins.
Tatsuya    I would be able to make you happy. I would be able to
	   give away anything for your sake.  
Tatsuya    I would... I would...
Tatsuya    Why can't it be me?!
Mikage     You're really a good person, aren't you?
Mikage     So, there's no path for you to take here. Go home.
Mikage     This isn't a place for someone like you.
Wakaba     I'm home.
Saionji    Welcome back.

Utena      I don't get it. Why does Wakaba look so lively recently?
Anthy      Something special must have happened to her.
Wakaba     I don't get it. Why does Wakaba go home as soon as the
	   school's over recently?  
Anthy      Something fun must be waiting at home.
Utena      Hmm... There's a lot of things I don't know.
Utena      But I do know this: Wakaba is my dearest friend.
