p 7	Akane's father	Yes..  They took the sign.
	Akane		Who!?
	Akane		I'll go get it back..
	Ranma		You left yourself open.
	Akane's father	Oh, Ranma..
	Akane		What are you doing.
	Ranma		I can do it by myself.
	Akane		What, you stay out of this.
	Ranma		You left yourself open.
			You'll just get in the way.
p 8	Akane		How's this.
	Akane		Can you really defeat the doujou yaburi like that?
	Ranma		You, you coward!
	Akane's father	Hey stop it.
	Akane		He-..  Weakling!
	Akane's father	Please listen to me.
	Ranma		You shrimp.
	Akane		What.  This doesn't concern you!
	Akane's father	Listen to me!
p 9	Akane's father	Ok..  This Saturday..  The doujou yaburi will come
			again..
	Akane		Why..
	Akane's father	If you defeat him..
	Akane		He'll give the sign back!
	Akane's father	Ok, you two cooperate and fight..
	Akane, Ranma	I can do it by myself..
	Akane's father	I want both of you.
	Ranma		Well, ok.
	Akane's father	That's the way I want it.
p 10	Akane's father	The two of them have to take care of this doujou.
	Ranma's father	Yes!  We have to use this opportunity for them to
			get closer.
	Akane's father	Trans..
	Ranma's father	Formation!
p 11	fathers		After transforming into the doujou yaburi like this
			we can pond those two who never get along every day.
	Ranma		We have to cooperate..
	Akane		In order to defeat this giant enemy!
p 12	Akane, Ranma	Take this, the double kick of love!

	fathers		It's the perfect plan.
p 13	Ranma		What!?
	Akane's father	Ranma, it's the doujou yaburi!
	Ranma		Yeah, I heard this morning!
p 14	Akane's father	No!
	panda		Look at this.
	Akane		A letter?
	Ranma		I'll return this Saturday.
	Akane		If you win, I'll give back the sign.
	Ranma		See, it's the same story.
			You're too pushy.
	Shampoo		Niihao Ranma.
	Akane		Shampoo..
	Ranma		What?
p 15	Akane		Why did you come.
	Ranma		Don't come when it's such a confusing time.
	Shampoo		You sure you can speak to me like that.
	Shampoo		I put water in the pan.
			This is just regular water.
	Shampoo		Watch.
	Shampoo		This is just a regular dog.
	guys		Hey.
			It's drowning?
p 16	guys		It became a man!
	Ranma		This is..
	Shampoo		Everyone who drowns becomes a man.
			Nannichuan mix.
p 17	guys		It looks like an onsen mix.
	guys		It's the Jusenkyou Springs series..?
	Shampoo		You use this.
			Ranma can be a complete man.
	Ranma		It's not a dream.
			This mixed up body will get fixed!
p 18	guys		Don't think of anything stupid.
			We like you the way you are.
	Ranma		You..
	Akane		Of course you're not going to give it for free.
	Shampoo		Of course not free.
	Shampoo		We go on a date.
	Ranma		Sure.
	Akane		Ranma!
	Akane's father	It's just a date.
p 19	Shampoo		See you this Saturday.
	Ranma		Hm?
	Akane's father	This..  Saturday..
	Ranma		So it's like that..
	Akane		That's ok.
	Ranma		With your enormous strength, you can easily defeat
			the doujou yaburi.
	Akane		By enormous strength...
p 20	Akane		Do you mean this!
	Ranma		Yeah!  That's it!  Good!
	guys		What's to good..
			He disappeared.
	Akane		Even if he begs me to help.
			I won't let him.
	g-grandma	The Jusenkyou Springs series?  It's a cheap, fake
			product that only works once.
	Shampoo		It looks that way.  Even if I pour water on it, it
			doesn't turn into a man.
