SCRIPT (episode 26; version 1.0; 12/13/1999)



Akio We must defeat Tenjou Utena immediately and engage the Rose Bride to somebody else. Touga Oh? Wasn't Tenjou Utena supposed to be the golden goose? Akio The golden goose is valuable because it lays golden eggs. Touga My, how selfish. So, which piece will you move? title Miki's Nest Box (Sunlit Garden - Arrange Version) crowd What's going on? crowd Hey, that's dangerous! crowd What the-? crowd What's she doing? Utena Kozue-chan! Anthy My, how awful. girl Just forget about that thing and use both hands. girl You're really gonna fall! Miki Kozue! Kozue Miki... girl Man, what a scare. girl But why'd she go and do something like that? girl Well, when she heard that tree was gonna be cut down after school today, girl she climbed right out the window onto to the ledge to save the little birds' nest in the branches. girl Kozue's pretty cool most of the time, but sometimes she just does the weirdest things. Miki You're all hot and sticky. Don't lean on me. Kozue It's easier on you this way. Utena You shouldn't do reckless stuff like that any more. You'll worry your brother. Kozue My my, brother mine, are you worried about me? Miki I said don't lean on me. Utena I left your bags right here. Miki Sorry for making you carry our luggage around. Anthy What shall we do with these little ones? Miki Bringing them home with us was all very well and good, but now what? Anthy How about giving them some ground millet for now? Miki Millet? Anthy ...which is also fed to parakeets and Java sparrows. Miki Oh, that stuff? Anthy Steep it in tepid water and then grind it. Miki Right. Anthy Since they are chicks, you must feed them every three hours during the day. Miki Got it. Wow, that's pretty tough. Anthy Yes, quite. Utena You don't hear them talk to each other this much very often. Miki Himemiya-san, you must've raised chicks before, right? Anthy No. Miki Really? You sure know a lot about it. You're really into animals, aren't you? Anthy Actually, it would be best to return the birds to their parents, but... Anthy Oh, are you all right standing by yourself? Kozue Thank you. But since you've come all this way out here, Kozue the cute younger sister will tactfully bow out. Kozue Take your time. Kozue That letter. Is it from "her"? Miki Yeah. Miki You read it too. Miki It's from our mother. Utena Wow, that's cool, getting a letter from your mother. Utena I don't have any family, so I'm a bit jealous. Kozue We don't need any parents. Kozue After all, we're wild animals. Miki Quit badmouthing them. Mother and Father are always concerned about us... Kozue Oh dear, I made you get all serious. Utena Hey, do you think this is "the" garden? Anthy Hmm? Which garden? Utena "The Sunlit Garden". You know, the title of that song Miki wrote. Anthy I don't know. But that's just an image, right? Utena Didn't Miki say that he and Kozue-chan played piano in a garden when they were little? Anthy So he did. Utena I wonder if it was this one? It's pretty desolate. Anthy Well, it's a memory, so... Utena That's probably true, but I imagined something more... Akio More...what? What did she say? Anthy Well now...I wondered that too. Anthy I haven't a clue. Akio What do you think of her? Anthy What do I think...? Akio What do you think of her. Tell me. Anthy The tea-cup broke. Utena Akio-san! Are you around? Akio Yeah, right over here. What's up? Utena Well, nothing special. I- Utena Um, am I butting in on some brother-sister stuff? Akio Come now, "butting in"? Akio Aren't the three of us just like family already? Akio You don't have to hesitate at all. Utena Just like family huh? Anthy I'm sorry. My brother said a rather forward thing to you... Utena No, it's okay. Utena I don't have any family, so it actually made me feel good. Utena It's true. Your brother's really, like, magnaminous. Anthy My brother is...well, let's see. He certainly is mature. Anthy He's like a parent to me. Utena Parents... Utena Do you think fathers and mothers always care for their children like Miki said? Anthy Could that be because of their genes? Utena That's a pretty harsh thing to say. Anthy I'm sorry. Utena You don't have to apologize. Juri The Ends of the World started sending us letters again. Miki Saionji-senpai hated the Duels that much, but he Dueled again anyway. Miki Maybe it's got something to do with that. Juri I'm worried about what Touga's up to. Nanami What about my brother? Juri "Defeat Tenjou Utena, for the sake of you Duelists"...is it? Miki I don't like this! Miki Most adults who tell you to do things "for your own sake" can't be trusted. Nanami That's a motion of no-confidence towards the Ends of the World, isn't it? Miki Interpret it that way if you want. Miki If Dueling means being manipulated by selfish adults, I'm stopping right now. Juri It's too early to be that resolute. Juri The true nature of the Ends of the World is not yet known. Nanami That's right. He might be "Daddy Long Legs" for all you know. Juri Nanami. Hurry up and let me use that. Nanami No-o-o-o-o-o.... Miki Yeah. It was in the letter from mother. Miki No, Kozue and I aren't opposed to it. Miki Father, it's entirely up to you. Miki I don't think we'll be able to make it to the wedding, but we'll at least send a telegram. Miki What? With who? Miki Oh, don't bother. You mean new mother, right?. Don't worry about that. Miki Father? Anthy Don't worry. Calling myself his mother so suddenly would be too shameless. Nanami Well, look who's here! Kozue Same to you. Nanami What're you doing? I heard you were injured. Kozue Wild animals heal fast. Nanami Is that so. Well, that's fine... Nanami ..but loitering is prohibited for anybody not on the Student Council. Kozue I'm meeting someone. Nanami At this hour? Who on earth? Kozue A "Daddy Long Legs". Shall I introduce you? Nanami No thanks.
Touga It's almost dawn. How long do you plan on staying here? Miki The school festival is coming up. I'm getting my fingers in shape. Touga What are you being indignant for? Miki I'm not being indignant or anything... Touga I hear you plan to quit being a Duelist. Miki Yes. Touga But you've already chosen the path of a Duelist. Touga I believe you know that there's something you can't have unless you take it for yourself. Touga Reached an impasse? Miki Juri-san said she suspected you've been up to something lately. Touga Such a beautiful melody. Touga But it can't sustain that beauty by being beautiful alone. Touga Oh my, it hit the wall already. Miki What are you trying to say? Touga There's someone I want you to meet. Miki Someone you want me to meet? Touga Listen, can't you hear it? Miki Hear what? Touga If your soul has not truly given up... Touga ...you should be able to hear... Touga ...the sound... Touga ...resounding across the Ends of the World. Miki What are you talking about? Miki I hear it! I really hear it! Miki What's going on?! Touga Now, allow us to invite you, to the world you desire! Miki You're the Chairman of the Board...correct? Kozue Yep. Himemiya-senpai's older brother. Miki What're you doing in a place like this? Kozue It's obvious. I'm on a date with Akio-san. Miki Oh? Well, whatever. Miki More importantly, what do you want with me, Mr. Chairman? Kozue You love Himemiya-senpai, don't you Miki? Miki Hey! Kozue You don't have to be so bashful. Kozue If she's so important to you, then make her yours. Kozue Akio-san said he'd help you. Kozue He's awesome. Miki I thought you hated Himemiya-senpai. Kozue What I want is for you to be happy. Miki What're you talking about, all of a sudden? Kozue I'm always honest with my feelings. That's all. Kozue I don't lie. Kozue Don't you trust me? Miki That's not it... Kozue Akio-san said it's for your own sake. Miki Well, he's an adult. Kozue So? Kozue If everything around you is dirty, don't you have no choice but to get dirty too? Kozue You've got no choice but to get dirty and then get what you want. Miki What I want... Miki You're the one who made Saionji-san Duel before, aren't you? Miki You seduced Touga, and interfered with the Student Council... Miki ...what the hell are you...? Akio I'll show you the Ends of the World. Yes, even you. Miki So that's it! You're... Kozue Hey, be more gentle. Miki Sorry. Is it crooked? Kozue No, it's okay. Attach it here. Miki Okay. Utena Hi, you two. Setting up a nest box? Utena I wonder if the parent birds will come back. Utena What is it? Miki Today, after school, at the Arena of Duels. Utena No way... shadow I wonder I wonder, do you know what I wonder? shadow Honored guest, isn't it about time to quit? shadow Damn it, I'm betting my entire purse! All of it on black! shadow Are you positive? shadow Oh, what a shame! It was red! shadow Honored guest, didn't you said you hated gambling, and had never done it before in your life? shadow Hey! You're the one who recommended I try it at least once! shadow Just stay put. I'm gonna withdraw my life savings. shadow What a sucker. Utena Kozue-chan! What're you doing dressed like that? Kozue Miki. Kozue Ready? Here we go. Anthy Utena-sama. Utena Yeah. Anthy O roses of noble memory, I beseech thee: Anthy Appear before me. both Grant me the power to Revolutionize the World! Utena I thought you and I were already friends! Miki Your sword can't beat mine, can it? Miki As of today, the Rose Bride is mine! Miki You've gotten a lot better. But... Miki What? Miki Himemiya-san! Kozue I hear people who get Engaged to you get an amazing power. Kozue What kind of amazing power? Miki Kozue! What're you doing?! Kozue Show that power to me. Miki Kozue!! Kozue You'll lose if you don't keep your eyes on what you're doing. Utena A child's sword... Utena I wonder what made him Duel me so suddenly? Anthy Who knows. Utena I mean, Miki's more... Anthy More...what? Miki What?! Kozue Coward. text To Be Continued
