Describes the scene [...] A character's thoughts {...} My comments pg. 85 PART.6 Go outside! pg. 86 (Ranma-chan is running on a road by the ocean.) Ranma I swear, that damn father. Ranma Disappearing for a week. (Flashback to Genma and Ranma-kun wearing large backpacks.) Genma This summer we'll train at the sea. You'll strictly temper your skills, Ranma! {Ed. There's probably a better way to say that. Suggestions welcome. } (Cut back to present.) Ranma He says such pretentious words, and then disappears somewhere to goof off! pg. 87 (Cut to a mansion by the sea. Genma (in panda form) is reclining on a beach chair. He slowly takes off his sunglasses... and Ranma delivers a flying kick to his head.) Ranma Goddamn you! pg. 88 (Ranma repeatedly hits the panda on the head.) Ranma Why did you give up our training and settle in here, you bastard! Boy Stop! Don't bully my Kumahachi! Ranma N? (Ranma looks up and sees through French doors a young boy in bed. A painting of a panda hangs over the boy. Ranma looks back at the panda.) Ranma Kumahachi...? {Ed. "Kuma" = bear, "hachi" = eight } pg. 89 Boy Come here, Kumahachi. (The panda walks over to the boy. Ranma looks on in surprise.) Ranma .................. Ranma Can this be my father? (The boy produces a tray of rice, fish, and miso soup.) Boy Here, please eat. (The panda pulls apart the chopsticks, pours some soy sauce, and begins to eat the rice. Ranma knees the panda on the back of the head.) Ranma It's my father, alright. (A tray with a teapot and teacups crashes to the floor. The panda looks at Ranma indignantly.) Panda's sign There's a reason for this... pg. 90 (The woman who dropped the tray is seen.) Mother Is... Is that panda... yours...? (The boy runs to his mother with tears in his eyes.) Boy Maman! Boy Kumahachi is my panda, right!? Mother Yotarou-chan... (Cut to a scene of seagulls flying in the clouds.) Mother My son Yotarou... pg. 91 (Cut to Yotarou sleeping in bed.) Mother ...was born weak... he hates to go outside. Book's title Cute Panda-chan (Cut to the mother, Ranma, and the panda eating a luxuriant meal.) Mother I've tried hard to somehow entice him outside, but... Ranma So what does this have to do with pandas? (Flashback to mother by Yotarou's bedside.) Yotarou I'll go outside if I panda to play with. Mother's narration I didn't know what to do. But one week ago... (Flashback to the mother seeing the panda making a dramatic appearance, the sun shining behind him. The mother falls to her knees and clutches the panda.) Mother Thank you, God. pg. 92 (Cut back to Ranma and the others eating.) Ranma And then he came to stay here... (Ranma pats the panda on the shoulder.) Ranma You did a good thing, Dad. Mother However, all he does with Yotarou is eat and sleep, eat and sleep, and loaf around inside the house all day... (Ranma hits the panda on the head. Ranma then begins to drag the panda out of the house.) Ranma Let's go, Dad! You've goofed off long enough! {Ed. Literally, "I'll correct your slackened spirit." Once again, suggestions welcome.} Mother Ah... (Yotarou runs into the room.) Yotarou Don't take him awaaaaaaaay! pg. 93 (Yotarou hugs the panda, who's eating a crab. The mother looks on with worry.) Mother But that panda belongs to oneechan. Yotarou No! No! Kumahachi is miiiiine! (Ranma hits the panda.) Ranma Stop eating! (The mother hugs Yotarou.) Mother Poor Yotarou-chan. Yotarou Maman! Mother But I have good news! Mother Oneechan said she'd go outside and play with you. Ranma I don't think I said that. (The mother begins to cry.) Mother Tuna sashimi, caviar, lobster... I won't be repaid for the panda's food bill. (Ranma grabs the panda.) Ranma You ate all that by yourself? {Ed. Literally, "You were that extravagant by yourself?"} pg. 94 (Cut to Yotarou's room. Ranma is sitting on the bed, talking to Yotarou.) Yotarou Fuu. Book titles Panda, Camel Ranma Your mom's crying, you know. Ranma Shall we try going outside for a little while? Yotarou If I do that, will you give Kumahachi to me? Panda's sign I'll be his panda. Ranma All right, see for yourself... (Ranma throws hot water on the panda.) Ranma Don't be difficult, you jerk! {Ed. No one I talked to seemed to know how to translate "Shakitto shineeka." Contact me if you have a better suggestion.} Ranma Look, Yotarou! This is the panda's true form! (Ranma turns to find Yotarou sleeping.) Yotarou Guu. Ranma Don't sleeeeeeeeeep! (Genma pours cold water on himself.) pg. 95 (Ranma puts her hand on Yotarou's shoulder.) Ranma Say, let's play outside. If you keep acting like this, you'll always be weak. Ranma Get up. (Ranma grabs Yotarou. Yotarou grabs the bed. Ranma pulls Yotarou. Yotarou hangs on to the bed. Ranma pulls harder. Yotarou grits his teeth and hangs on to the bed. Ranma begins to pull VERY hard, but Yotarou clings to the bed. The bed begins to come off the floor.) Yotarou GUNUNUNUNUUUUUUUU. Ranma GNUUUUN. (Ranma gives up and the bed falls to the floor. Both Yotarou and Ranma are panting.) Ranma You're just a sloth, aren't you? {Ed. Literally, "If you do that, you're just an ordinary sloth."} Yotarou Gikuri. {Sound of surprise, shock, chagrin.} pg. 96 (Yotarou begins to cry.) Yotarou I... I really am weak! (Yotarou starts to pound on Ranma's chest.) Yotarou Waaaaah! Oneechan is stupid stupid stupid! Ranma H- hey... Ranma Stop crying! You're a boy! (Yotarou pounds Ranma's chest with mallets. Yotarou hits Ranma on the head with a vase. Ranma grabs Yotarou by the chest and pulls back her fist.) Ranma You're a strong little demon, aren't you?! GO OUTSIDE! Yotarou Oneechan's scary! (Ranma regains control of herself.) pg. 97 (Cut to Yotarou hiding behind his bed covers while Ranma sits on the end of the bed, thinking.) Ranma [Damn, the little monster certainly takes this seriously.] [That was childish.] Ranma Say, Yotarou-chan. (Ranma turns to Yotarou with a cute smile on her face.) Ranma Will you go on a date with me? (Ranma gets starry-eyed as she envisions Yotarou and her skipping hand-in-hand through the waves on the beach.) Ranma Blue sky, white clouds... I want to run with you in the light of the glittering sun! pg. 98 (Ranma's eyes go wide as she turns to see Yotarou sleeping.) Ranma ............ (Sweat runs down her face as her expression is frozen in a mad smile.) Panda's sign You look like an idiot. Ranma I don't want to hear it! (Ranma grabs the panda by the scruff of the neck.) Ranma You're not keeping him company anymore. Let's go, Dad! Yotarou Kumahachi! (Yotarou chases Ranma down the stairs.) Yotarou Wait! Don't take him away! Panda's sign I don't want to go! Ranma Funda. {Sound of ignoring, like "Hmph!"} pg. 99 Yotarou KUMAHACHIII! (Cut to the mother walking on the beach. She stares in surprise as she sees Yotarou running on the beach, trying to catch up with Ranma, who is carrying the panda on her back.) Yotarou KUMAHACHIII! Mother [Yotarou-chan!] pg. 100 (The mother falls to her knees.) Mother [Yotarou-chan has come outside... running with such energy... Oh, God!] Yotarou KUMAHACHIII! Ranma He's damn persistent! (Cut to the Tendou's house. Kasumi is carrying a tray of watermelon slices for everyone.) Kasumi You ran all the way here from the sea? (Akane is sitting with P-chan.) Akane What strength! (Yotarou is lying next to the panda.) Yotarou I'm tired... (Ranma is panting and sitting next to them.) Ranma Looks like you did it. {Ed. Literally, "If you do it then you can do it."}
