After I went through all the trouble of making cookies for him. Akane If he won't even try one, How can he know whether they're good or bad? Akane I tried so hard to make them... Ranma Hey, what're you going to do? p 63 Kodachi Now, Ranma-sama, Let's take that fake picture and make it real. Ranma That's not funny! Akane Fake, hm? Akane I _thought_ she was up to something. Ranma Damned thing... Kodachi Ho ho ho ho, have you forgotten? Kodachi That belt is made of a special alloy. The only way to remove it without getting shocked is to cover it in hot water. p 64 Kodachi Now let me kiss you. Ranma Not if I can help it. Kodachi Ah! Ranma _Now_ try it.
