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.



Tsuwabuki  All this morning, it's classes as usual. 3rd period
	   Music is about music appreciation. 
Tsuwabuki  The topic is Orff's Karmina Burana. The report you
	   will present is already complete. 
Tsuwabuki  Before you go to the Music room, take a look inside
	   your locker. 
Tsuwabuki  6th period English, there's a vocabulary test, so
	   here's your cribsheet. 
Nanami     I see.
Tsuwabuki  I'll inform you of your afterschool plans at
	   lunchtime. After that- 
Nanami     Tsuwabuki...
Tsuwabuki  Yes, ma'am?
Nanami     Thank you.
Tsuwabuki  Certainly!
Boy        A runaway horse!
Boy        A horse is on the loose!
Tsuwabuki  Watch out!
Tsuwabuki  My name is Tsuwabuki Mitsuru.
Tsuwabuki  I am a student who has dedicated all of myself to
	   Nanami-san. 
Tsuwabuki  And so, I have a secret that absolutely no one must
	   know! 
text       Nanami-sama Secret Diary 
Utena      Tsuwabuki-kun's been hurt?
Nanami     Yes, while protecting me.
Himemiya   Did he die?
Nanami     Of course not!
Nanami     The wound itself looks like little more than a bruise
	   and a broken nail, 
Nanami     ...but he's still unconscious.
Nanami     Right now, I'm having them arrange a hospital for him.
Himemiya   Hmm? What's this?
Utena      A schedule book?
Nanami     Oh, that's Tsuwabuki's.
Utena      So he's got names and addresses and stuff written in
	   here? 
Himemiya   It has diary-type things written in it.
Nanami     What? Read it!
Himemiya   "My name is Tsuwabuki Mitsuru."
Himemiya   "I am a student who has dedicated all of myself to
	   Nanami-san." 
Tsuwabuki  I have always had my eye on Nanami-san.
Tsuwabuki  ...and only Nanami-san.
Keiko      It's your fault!
Keiko      You snared our Saionji-san and turned him into a
	   loser! 
Yuuko      He's been away from the Kendo Club, too!
Aiko       What a dreadful girl!
Keiko      Give us back our Saionji-san!
Aiko       Say something!
Nanami     Whatever is going on here?
Keiko      Nanami-sama...
Nanami     Pray tell, what is all this commotion?
Nanami     Given the circumstances, I'll have to report this to
	   the Student Council. 
Keiko      Well, uh...
Aiko       It's not what it seems.
KYA        Excuse us!
Nanami     Are you alright?
Himemiya   Yes, thank you.
Himemiya   You're... Nanami-san, they said it was?
Nanami     Since you're so popular among the boys,
Nanami     ...you tend to make them jealous.
Tsuwabuki  Nanami-san is incredible.
Tsuwabuki  With purity, nobility and great beauty,
Tsuwabuki  ...protecting the weak, detesting all evil, entirely
	   for justice in the Academy. 
Tsuwabuki  But, I know...
Tsuwabuki  I know Nanami-san's naked face.
Utena      Nanami's naked face?
Nanami     What's with those looks?
Utena      Looks like he knows you through and through, from
	   shiny surface to filthy underbelly. 
Nanami     What do you mean by filthy underbelly?
Keiko      Nanami-sama, she's come wearing the dress we sent her.
Aiko       It really suits her.
Boy        Oh, I apologize, Miss!
Himemiya   It's all right.
Tsuwabuki  Never dirtying her own hands,
Tsuwabuki  ...her stoic manner in which she merely watches the
	   suffering from a safe distance, 
Tsuwabuki  ...certainly is the proper form for she who rules the
	   Academy from the shadows. 
Utena      Yeah, something like that happened.
Himemiya   So that was Nanami-san's doing, wasn't it?
Nanami     Th- that's all Tsuwabuki's delusions!
Nanami     It's unimaginable that I would do something so wild.
Nanami     Tsuwabuki sure is a weird kid, huh?
Tsuwabuki  Nanami-san's malice didn't end at that level.
Tsuwabuki  As in this case...
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.
SYT         Curry...
SYT        curry...
SYT         curry...
SYT        CURRY!!
Himemiya   It's ready!
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     Be quiet, it's getting good now.
Keiko      I'm sorry, but, um..
Nanami     But 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'll blast you to smithereens and make
	   phantom elephants trumpet loudly. 
Nanami     Phantom... smithereens?
Nanami     No way...
Tsuwabuki  Tenjou-san and Himemiya-san...
Tsuwabuki  That's right, their personalities were exchanged by
	   Nanami-san's curry. 
Himemiya   Utena-sama, that's wonderful!
Utena      Well, it feels weird being praised by my own body.
Himemiya   You see, I'm not very good at sports,
Himemiya   ...so seeing my own body acting so wonderfully makes
	   me happy. 
Utena      But, we gotta think of a way to return to normal.
Himemiya   Don't worry!
Himemiya   I'm sure even now Nanami-sama is...
Tsuwabuki  Right. Nanami-san put forth her best efforts,
Tsuwabuki  ...to atone for her sin without losing her cheerful
	   smile. 
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     An elephant?!
Keiko      Nanami-sama!
Nanami     Not again!
Aiko       Nanami-sama!
Tsuwabuki  Here's a souvenir.
Tsuwabuki  Then, Nanami-san came back, stronger than ever.
Touga      Nanami!
Nanami     Onii-sama!!
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. 
All        200 years?
Tsuwabuki  Surely, I thought it looked like karmic retribution.
Himemiya   Now that you mention it, that was the case.
Utena      Nanami is just thoroughly evil, isn't she?
Nanami     What are you talking about?!
Nanami     It wasn't the curry I substituted that switched your
	   personalities, 
Nanami     ...it was purely because of your cooking skills, am I
	   not right? 
Himemiya   Was it?
Nanami     You...
Utena      So what other evil deeds are written after that, I
	   wonder? 
Nanami     Wait a second, aside from that,
Nanami     ...is there anything about Tsuwabuki in there?
Himemiya   There's nothing written but stuff about Nanami-san.
Tsuwabuki  Nanami-san seems to have been treating Himemiya-san
	   badly for any reason at all. 
Tsuwabuki  As in this case...
Miki       Huh, they say this dorm is haunted, but it's actually
	   quite nice inside. 
Nanami     You have such a nice room.
Utena      Yeah, Himemiya cleans up religiously everyday.
Miki       Himemiya-san must really like to keep things neat,
	   then. 
Nanami     Wow, I'm really impressed.
Nanami     Ok, just watch.
Nanami     Think Himemiya Anthy's a cute girl while you can...
Miki       I envy you, Tenjou-sempai, living with such a feminine
	   girl. 
Utena      Is that sarcasm?
Nanami     Himemiya-sempai, may I borrow your eraser?
Nanami     It's a snail!
Nanami     It's a snake!
Nanami     There's an octopus in here!
Nanami     Himemiya's true character has been exposed!
Nanami     That's what's going to happen!
Tsuwabuki  However, Nanami-san also had a tough time.
Tsuwabuki  Sometimes, the wounding party gets hurt instead of the
	   intended target. 
Nanami     Himemiya-sempai, may I borrow your eraser?
Nanami     Himemiya Anthy, prepare yourself!
Utena      I wouldn't open that if I were you.
Nanami     This can't be true, it must be a dream.
Nanami     This huge octupus and its octupus tentacles...
Utena      You really are evil, aren't you?
Nanami     Evil? Moi?
Nanami     You have got to be kidding me!
Nanami     That time, it was me that was the victim, wasn't it?
Himemiya   "And so, Nanami-san has been hostile toward
	   Himemiya-san, but..." 
Nanami     St- st- st- st- st- stop that, I wasn't hostile or
	   anything. 
Utena      You don't have to play dumb anymore.
Himemiya   "...there's a reason for that. A profound reason,
	   which must not be uttered to another soul..." 
Utena      Reason?
Utena      Oh.



Nanami     Hey, stop already! And give that back!
Utena      Thought this wasn't yours?
Himemiya   You're going to tear that apart, you know!
Nanami     You inhuman, demon, villain!
Utena      That's you!
Nanami     What is it?
Utena      Can you hear it?
Nanami     What?
Himemiya   That slight tooth-grinding.
Himemiya   Like a rope bridge swaying in the wind.
Nanami     No, it's the sound of a seaside swingset squeaking.
Himemiya   He who once ruled the Student Council, Touga-sempai.
Nanami     Guess who!
Touga      Stop it, Nanami.
Nanami     It's such a lovely evening, isn't it? Onii-sama...
Touga      You're such a baby, little sister.
Tsuwabuki  For Nanami-san, Touga-sempai is her entire world.
Nanami     You two!!
Utena      "Only Touga-sempai could be the one and only man to
	   live up to Nanami-san's ideals." 
Tsuwabuki  Even though I'm still inexperienced, someday I want to
	   be a big brother like Touga-sempai. 
Utena      C'mon, let's stop.
Himemiya   Oh?
Utena      It's not right. All his thoughts are packed in this
	   book. 
Utena      And here we are, peeking at it...
Nanami     You've read almost everything, so who cares about the
	   weight of Tsuwabuki-kun's feelings? 
Nanami     How about the weight of my feelings?
Utena      About 49 kilos?
Nanami     I've gained?!
Himemiya   Oh, I wonder what's on this page.
Himemiya   Operation the First...
Nanami     Did you say "operation?"
Nanami     Where am I?
Nanami     Who am I?
Nanami     It's no use. I can't remember anything.
Touga      Nanami...
Nanami     Who's there?
Touga      Have you forgotten?
Tsuwabuki  It's me, your older brother.
Nanami     Onii-sama?!
Tsuwabuki  Come here, Nanami!
Nanami     ONII-SAMA!!
Nanami     Wait, what is this?
Utena      Beats me.
Himemiya   Operation the Second...
Tsuwabuki  Arrrrggh, wait a minute!
Nanami     Tsuwabuki...
Tsuwabuki  Please, don't read any further!
Nanami     Now what are you talking about?
Nanami     All your plots will be thoroughly exposed!
Tsuwabuki  What do you mean, plots?
Tsuwabuki  All I wanted was to become the kind of man that suits
	   you, Nanami-san. 
Nanami     Why you little...!
Utena      Nanami, calm down! If you get too excited, you'll turn
	   into a cow again! 
Himemiya   Operation the Second... When Nanami-san becomes a cow
	   again, 
Himemiya   And this time, I think I can cope with that this way.
Utena      Nanami!
Utena      Get rid of that cowbell!
Utena      Get rid of it!
Nanami     Shut up already, moo.
Utena      Do you even know what the bell on your neck is
	   supposed to be? 
Nanami     Really, moo! It's a Sebastian Dior cowbell, right?
	   Really, moo! 
Utena      A cowbell is just a bell they hang on a cow's neck.
Nanami     What are you talking about? Moo.
Utena      Look around you!
Nanami     So, so, Sebastian Dior, the purveyor to the Court
	   is... 
Utena      It's not Sebastian Dior, but Koushi-chan Dior! (koushi
	   = calf) 
Nanami     Ko- Koushi-chan?
Utena      You didn't even know what a cowbell is all about,
Utena      ...and you were all proud of that humongous bell,
	   wearing it on your neck. 
Utena      What you're doing now is exactly what a cow does!
Nanami     Cow?
Utena      We can't do anything about that now.
Utena      What you can do now is throw that bell away before you
	   completely turn into a cow. 
Nanami     Wh- What are you talking about? Moo.
Nanami     How could I possibly become a cow? Moo.
Nanami     Really now, don't surprise me. Moo. Quit kidding
	   around, already. Moo. 
Himemiya   Utena-sama, it's finally finished!
Utena      What's this?
Himemiya   It's a sweater.
Utena      Thanks, but it's a bit out of season, isn't it?
Nanami     Moo. If it had gone a little more, moo, I would have
	   attracted intense attention. 
Nanami     Somehow, my mind is getting, moo, fuzzy...
Nanami     Could it be a delusion, moo? My appendix, moo?
Nanami     Or I might have been bitten by a, moo, virulent
	   poisonous snake... 
Nanami     Somebody, moo, get me a blanket!
Utena      Nanami...
Utena      Nanami, you look...
Himemiya   I'm scared!
Tsuwabuki  Nanami-san!
Himemiya   She's coming right for us!
Utena      Oh, I get it! She got all excited when she saw this
	   red sweater! 
Himemiya   Oh, my!
Utena      Himemiya, get away!
Himemiya   All right!
Tsuwabuki  It's all right now.
Tsuwabuki  It's all right now, Nanami-san.
Tsuwabuki  I'll take care of you, even if you do become a cow.
Tsuwabuki  I'll stay with you, Nanami-san.
Tsuwabuki  Stop it, stop it, please!
Nanami     Don't be such a poor sport, Tsuwabuki!
Tsuwabuki  Don't look!
Nanami     Where am I?
Tsuwabuki  Ah, you're conscious... How do you feel?
Nanami     What do you have written there?
Tsuwabuki  You fell behind schedule, didn't you?
Tsuwabuki  I've been rescheduling.
Nanami     Really, how goes it? I want to see.
Tsuwabuki  I'll tell you about it later.
Tsuwabuki  No need to worry.
Nanami     I've got it now!
Tsuwabuki  Oh, crap!
Nanami     So it seems there are nasty things written in here,
	   eh? 
Nanami     Seize him!
Tsuwabuki  St- St- St- St- St- Stop!! Let me go! Let me goooo!
Nanami     What's this, Operation the Twenty-fourth?
Tsuwabuki  I'm done for! If they read that page, I'm done for!
C-ko       Extra! Extra!
C-ko       I'm done for! I'm really done for!
C-ko       Why is that?
C-ko       My secret which can't stay hidden any longer is,
C-ko       ...that the king has the ears of a donkey!
C-ko       Did you say "donkey?"
C-ko       Sorry, not a donkey.
C-ko       The truth is, I am...
C-ko       ...a monkey hiding behind a girl's face!
C-ko       Ah, the shame of it all. Now she'll never get married.
C-ko       Monkey is captured. Monkey is captured.
