SCRIPT (episode 34; version 1.0; 12/20/1999)
Akio I just found a comet.
Akio A new star that no one knows about yet.
Akio But I won't tell anybody...
Akio ...or give it a name. Strange, isn't it?
Akio I feel like when I discover a new star I make it mine.
Akio But a star is a star. It belongs to nobody.
Akio It belongs to nobody.
Anthy Good night, brother.
Akio Do you still torment me?
Utena I'll become a Prince.
text Seal of the Rose
Utena You know, I'm really not good with that stuff...
shadow I'm sure that a new world would open up for our
Theater Club if you joined us.
shadow You bet it'd open up. Fans of yours would be joining
in droves!
Utena But...
shadow Don't worry. Our judgement never fails.
shadow Never ever.
Utena But I can't act. I'm no good on stage.
shadow That's no big deal.
shadow Flowers will bud just by you standing onstage.
shadow You bet they will. A star is born!
shadow Anyways, please come see our play after school
tomorrow.
shadow It's such an ultra-sad story!
Utena Huh?
ticket Theatrical Troupe Shadow Play Kashira Presents: The
Tale of the Rose: 34th Exhibition
boy Tenjou, we're counting on you for next week's match.
Utena Y-yeah, okay.
Wakaba It must be tough being so popular.
Utena Huh?
Wakaba So, did you pick?
Utena Oh, yeah...
Wakaba Mark the ones you like. I can get someone in the
Photo Club to make copies.
Utena There aren't any with Himemiya in them.
Wakaba Well, she's so unsociable.
Wakaba She almost never go to events or anything.
Wakaba I didn't know our school had a Theater Club.
Akio It's been a long time since I've photographed
something besides stars.
Akio But why'd you want to have commemorative photos all of
a sudden?
Utena Well, it's like...
Utena Akio-san, you get in too.
Akio You really treasure your memories.
Utena Well, that's not quite it, but...
Anthy Stop that. Chu-chu.
Akio That ring is a memory from your childhood, right?
Utena That's right. I got invited to this play the Theater
Club's doing after school today.
Utena Shall we go together, just the three of us?
Anthy Sorry. My eyes were closed.
sign Theatrical Troupe: Shadow Play Kashira
chalk The Tale of the Rose
Akio It's been so long since I've seen a play.
Anthy This should be fun.
Utena Do you like plays, Akio-san?
Akio "All life's a stage."
Akio All people are either actors, or spectators.
Utena But I wonder why no one else is here? Maybe we're too
early.
shadow Extra. Extra extra extra.
shadow Finally, finally it's begun.
shadow The sealed light. The sorrowful Prince.
shadow That which could not be told until now: the Tale of
the Rose!
shadow Beware! Beware! She's here in the world, somewhere.
shadow You too, beware!
shadow I wonder I wonder, do you know what I wonder?
shadow This is a story from the days when all the women of
the world were still princesses.
shadow In those days, the world had not yet been completely
engulfed in darkness.
shadow Because, the Rose Prince was there.
shadow Growl growl-growl-growl!
shadow Save me! A monster is chasing me!
shadow Gallop gallop gallop! Accursed beast! I shall slay
you!
shadow Glargh...
shadow Are you unhurt, princess?
shadow Thank you, Rose Prince.
shadow Then, the promised kiss!
shadow Growl growl growl growl
shadow Save me! It's Christmas Eve, yet I'm all alone!
shadow Gallop gallop gallop! Fear not, for I have reserved
us a table at a French restaurant!
shadow Thank you, Rose Prince.
shadow Then, the promised kiss!
shadow Yes, all the women of the world were princesses.
shadow Because we were all protected by the Rose Prince, the
world was overflowing with light.
shadow But...
shadow Hello there, Rose Prince.
shadow What is the matter, old woman?
shadow Calamity is threatening the world.
shadow There is one who plans to steal away all the light in
the world,
shadow and plunge the land deep into darkness.
shadow Who is this you speak of?!
shadow It is a witch.
shadow A witch?!
shadow Yes. Surely you must know of the castle which floats
in the sky.
shadow That is the witch's castle!
shadow The witch who dwells there schemes even now to steal
all the light of the world.
shadow What is this "light of the world".
shadow Know ye not of the light?
shadow It is that which is eternal,
shadow shining,
shadow the power of miracles,
shadow the power to revolutionize the world.
shadow Then I shall slay this witch, and protect the light of
the world!
shadow Thus, the prince flew to the castle to protect the
light of the world and to dispatch the witch.
shadow However!
shadow Welcome to within the castle.
shadow Forsooth! Tis the selfsame old woman!
shadow You fool! This is a trap to emprison you within the
castle!
shadow YOU are the light!
shadow Why do you do this? Witch, who art thou?
shadow Have ye not recognized me yet?
shadow Gadzooks! You are my...sister!!
shadow Correct, brother, it is I.
shadow You are the Prince who protects all the women of the
world.
shadow You make all the women of the world into princesses -
shadow the Rose Prince.
shadow And I am your -
shadow sister.
shadow I'm the only one who can't become your princess!
shadow But there's nothing I can do about that...
shadow That's why I -
shadow became a witch!
shadow Women who can't be princesses have no choice but to
become witches.
shadow And so the witch imprisoned the Prince, and the world
was completely enclosed in darkness.
shadow The witch roams this world of darkness even now.
shadow Seeking the young and noble, to sacrifice them anew!
shadow Surely the light presents an obstacle to the witch, to
her dominion over the dark.
shadow Beware! Beware! She is still somewhere in this
world...
shadow You too, beware!
Saionji Touga.
Touga You're late. Would you hurry up and fight me?
Saionji Isn't this a surprise?
Touga I'm all fired up. I've got a match coming up soon.
Touga It seems a certain person isn't pleased with her
continuing to win...
Touga ...without the Sword of Dios appearing.
Saionji I wonder why we all keep losing to that wench.
Touga She's not just a wench. She's a girl who was shown
something eternal in her youth.
Saionji She's that girl?!
shadows Cheers!
shadow Our performance today was the greatest!
shadow Ah, the bliss of being an actress!
shadow Extra extra extra extra...
shadow Gadzooks, you are my sister!
shadow Yes, my brother!
shadow The sealed light, the sorrowful Prince, the Tale of
the Rose now beblub blub....
shadow That girl's got talent, but she's kinda weird.
shadow Maybe she doesn't have any friends.
shadow I don't wanna hear that from you!
shadow She definitely doesn't have any friends.
shadow No, she doesn't.
Anthy Good night.
Utena You going to bed already?
Utena So, what did you think of the show today?
Akio A very sophomoric play.
Utena Sophomoric...?
Akio Would you like another cup?
Utena Oh, sure.
Utena Thanks.
Akio It must be hard on you.
Utena Huh?
Akio Anthy. I understand.
Akio It must be tiring being friends with her for so long.
Utena Not at all. On the contrary, it's a big help having
her around.
Akio Really?
Utena Himemiya's an important friend to me.
Akio What is a friend, to you?
Utena Well, so...it's someone important, right?
Akio Then...that makes us friends too?
Akio You're always wearing this ring.
Utena Well, I got it from a Prince.
Akio You didn't even take it off that night.
Utena Please, no more.
Akio Loyalty to your prince?
Utena I think I...
Utena want to become a Prince...myself...
Akio You think?
Utena It's just that...when I look at this I remember.
Utena That I mustn't lose my nobility.
Utena I don't really remember that time too well.
Akio "That time"? What do you mean?
Utena I can't remember very well.
Dios What're you doing there?
Utena Nothing.
Utena Hey, are you the Grim Reaper?
Dios No. I do not bring death.
Utena You're pretty.
Utena Who's that?
Dios A witch.
Utena A witch?
Dios The Rose Bride.
Utena The "Rose Bride"?
Dios Those who can die are lucky.
Dios She cannot die. Just go on suffering.
Utena Why?
Dios It's her punishment for stealing a prince from all the
women of the world.
Dios That which could not be told until now: the Tale of
the Rose.
Dios Anthy...
Dios Anthy...
Anthy I'm right here.
crowd Prince!...we beg you...please save us...
man Prince, we know you're here! Come out and fight for
us!
man You're the only one who can save our daughter!
man All of our daughters are waiting for you!
man Hurry up and fight! Prince!
Anthy You mustn't move anymore!
Dios But they're calling for help...
Dios I've got to go to them...
crowd Please save us...save us...
Anthy Stop now. Don't fight anymore.
Anthy You'll die.
crowd Prince!...Prince, please fight!...
man Who're you?!
Anthy Dios is gone. He's mine and mine alone.
Anthy I've sealed him somewhere where your hands can never
reach.
crowd What?...how dreadful...
man Infernal witch!
Dios She sacrificed herself to save her beloved Prince.
Dios Even though she was the only one who truly loved the
Prince...
Dios And what's more, the Prince who loved her was no
longer the Prince she knew, but instead...
Dios he became the Ends of the World.
Utena This is...
Dios And her suffering was all that remained.
Utena Hey, save her!
Utena It's too cruel!
Utena Save her!
Utena Save her...
Dios She can no longer be saved.
Dios The only one who can save her is a Prince she believes
in.
Utena You're a Prince, right?
Dios I can't become her Prince.
Utena Why not?
Dios You're such a gentle child. Thank you for your tears.
Utena Then I'll become a Prince!
Utena I'll become her Prince and save her!
Dios If you can retain that nobility even when you grow up,
Dios you may indeed be able to save her from her eternal
suffering.
Dios But you will surely forget all about this night.
Dios And even if you do remember, you're a girl.
Dios Soon you'll become a lady.
Utena I will! I'll become a Prince no matter what!
Dios Then that ring will surely lead you here again.
Utena I kinda feel like I saw a familiar landscape in a
dream...
Utena I just can't remember.
Utena Can't you sleep?
Anthy I was looking at your face while you slept.
Anthy Who are you?

Utena That Touga...he dragged me out horseback riding with
him.
Anthy Aren't the horses adorable?
Utena But while we were riding together, I lost my balance
and almost fell off the horse.
Anthy Ooh, how scary.
Utena But I got saved at the last moment by Akio-san riding
a white horse.
Utena But just what does Touga think he's doing, getting
close to me all of a sudden?
