Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Keep Me Hanging On - full transcript
Sylia has a hardsuit made for the new recruit. Linna gets a first-rate crash course in her highly-advanced mech when Priss calls for back up - she's stuck in a diner with a waitress Boomer gone berserk!
Nigel, the idling is a little unstable.
I wonder if I might have revved
the engine too high?
It's fine at higher revolutions, but when
it's low, it becomes unstable.
It looks like she's going to make
some new hard suits.
I'll be there later.
This is Salusa Source. I'm patrolling
over the submerged city.
There appears to be no
suspicious activity.
Roger.
Hi, Leon-chan! What occasion
brings you to a place like this?
How many times do I have to tell you,
not to add ''chan'' to my name?!
I'm sorry! I won't call you that
anymore, Leon-chan.
Give that back to me.
What did you just say?
I won't call you that.
After that...
Leon-cha...
Leon, Sir!
Good!
You big coward!
Hey, the archive here has records
on almost everything, doesn't it?
So what?
How much has been collected
on the Knight Sabers?
I don't know if we have any
records like that or not.
You haven't checked the records yet?
I don't know.
You can look for it, can't you?
Is that the proper way
to ask for a favor?
Please, look for it!
It's THAT time, isn't it?
What's wrong? You're looking
at your hands.
It's almost a crime to type with such
beautiful, elegant fingers. Isn't it?
Keep dreaming.
I didn't expect it to be so hard.
I wonder if I'll be able to make it?
That's it?
Yes, that's it. I think this transmission
was jammed.
Every time the Knight Sabers appear,
there's noise in the reception.
I see!
Thank you!
You've heard from Priss, haven't you?
I brought all the parts.
Go down to the pit, and wait.
There's data about her body size
in the simulator booth.
That girl is the new member. Her name
is Linna. She's cute, isn't she?
She's the one that Priss found.
Isn't it odd that she wants a
new member to join us?
The core's been removed, right?
Of course.
This was suppose to be a backup for
Priss, but I guess we can use it.
I have some new tricks to
try with this hard suit.
Sure, do whatever you want.
See you later! Take care!
Do you have some time?
Nene-chan, what made you
join the Knight Sabers?
Same as you, Linna.
It looked interesting.
How did you join?
Let's see...
In my case, I discovered Sylia accessing
the Genom server, and got in touch.
That was the beginning.
Well, I can say she was attracted
to my abilities.
You don't look like you're
very good at athletics.
I don't just support them from behind!
When I put on my suit, mad
boomers will be...
Don't look away, you bitch!
What are you going to do
about my clothes?!
I'm very sorry. I'll bring a
cleaner right away.
I'm not talking about things like that.
You're a boomer! Show a little
respect for humans!
I don't like men like that. He can only
express his anger by abusing boomers.
I feel sorry for her.
What shall I do to satisfy you, Sir?
Clean it by licking it off.
Excuse me, but that's enough!
You pervert!
What did you say?!
Oh, geez! She's making a scene.
I'm educating this boomer. Do you
have a problem with that?!
I see. I wonder if you also educate
your girlfriend the same way?
Shut the hell up! Don't confuse
boomers with humans.
Thank you very much.
Please come back again.
I wonder if I can do it?
If you don't have the confidence,
why don't you quit now?
It will be exciting but frightening when
you put on your hard suit.
The time limitation on the battery
metal is pretty short.
Mad boomers move around, and it's
impossible to predict their movements.
So we have to be flexible in our
approach when dealing with them.
So a person who lacks confidence
is nothing but trouble.
But I wasn't able to move around very
well at the beginning the way Priss did.
She's special. There's no use
trying to compete with her.
I understand.
Let's do our best!
Thank you, Nene-chan.
Could you stop calling me ''chan''?
Sorry, Nene.
Good!
Knight Sabers...
Our Investigation Division hasn't been
able to find anything on them.
Why don't we leave them alone then?
They've voluntarily dealt with the
mad boomers, haven't they?
Will it be all right if people find out that
boomers may not only go mad,
but that their physical structure
may malfunction as well?
That's not a possibility, Mason.
Sir?
Why do you think we've invested
so much in the AD Police?
They were originally established as
a special anti-terrorist force.
They rely on firearms too much when
dealing with mad boomers.
I guess their skills will
improve with time.
The most important thing is that the
AD Police are hated by society.
Their actions are usually criticized by
the press as being overblown.
They're idiots who use armored cars to
deal with slightly unstable boomers.
But the Knight Sabers are...
I have pressured the media not to report
on that organization of vigilantes.
The AD Police and the Knight Sabers
are dealing with a non-existent threat.
Mad boomers and such don't exist.
I'm a child.
A child is supposed to demand what he
wants, even if he has to cry to get it.
I understand.
Excuse me, take our order!
Stop that! You're too loud,
and it's embarrassing.
But I'm so hungry.
This restaurant is pretty good,
and has big portions!
Sylia!
I wonder if she's in the pit?
Oh, Nigel is here.
Linna, your hard suit might be ready!
Oh, Nigel!
Nice to meet you! I'm Linna Yamazaki.
Well, I'll call you when we
need maintenance.
Oh, welcome.
Good afternoon.
What the hell are you doing here?!
The battery's already dead?
What useless crap!
What is this?! This isn't fair!
This is too much equipment
for a new suit!
It's because Nigel told me
he wanted to try it.
It's sexy, isn't it?
Because your figure is beautiful,
we were able to make the shape
of the hard suit beautiful.
Excuse me...
Yes?
Can I try it on?
Save me!
This might be a little too tight for me.
That inner suit will transmit your
controls to the hard suit.
Right!
Geez!
Mad boomer!
Please stop!
Inside it's a little cold, but be
patient at the beginning.
Relax and get in slowly.
It's so cold.
Next, put your arms in.
Excuse me!
I will release the suit from the hanger.
This looked really heavy, but
it's so light!
It's dangerous to move around
like that in the beginning.
You should get used to it gradually.
A mad boomer has appeared
in the 24th block.
They made a boomer with a
female shape, that's why!
What shall we do, Sylia?
We might not have time to transfer
the mobile pit to Priss's location.
Hurry up and go right now, Nene!
What? By myself?
There's someone else, isn't there?
Run!
It's reckless to let her go into
an actual battle so soon.
You wanted to be a Knight Saber,
didn't you?
Why don't you try doing what
you've always wanted to?
Right!
Both of you, pay attention to
each other's battery metal.
Sure!
Linna, let's go!
Now, please get in here.
What? Nene, where's your suit?
Actually, we put our
suits on inside here,
but, Linna, yours was
just finished today.
Is that so?
Well, please get in.
What?! By myself?!
That's right. Hurry up already!
Close your seal properly.
What seal?!
On your helmet!
It's time to go. Be prepared,
because it's pretty rough.
Right!
Knight Sabers, action!
Yahoo!
Linna, as soon as you touch
the ground, jump!
The booster will activate automatically,
so keep your balance in the air.
I'll try!
You're doing so well! How annoying!
I'm flying!
This is incredible! I can't
believe I'm so light!
Don't fly that high!
How come you can fly higher than me?!
Where is my hard suit?
Priss, hurry up and get out of there.
The AD Police are approaching.
What are you going to
do about this thing?
The Knight Sabers will handle it.
A mad boomer has appeared
in the 24th block.
It appears to be attacking a female
customer inside the store.
I would never have imagined that a
waitress boomer could go mad.
I guess she was stressed out.
Let's go!
The mad boomer process
is pretty advanced.
I wonder if a regular bullet
will work on it?
We can't rely on backup.
That cafeteria, we were just there!
Oh, God! The AD Police
are already here!
Hurry up, Priss is trapped inside!
What the hell is this?
What are you thinking?
I can't believe you let an amateur
join an actual battle!
I don't understand what Linna and
Sylia are thinking.
I refuse to team up with
an amateur like her!
What? Linna's been captured
by the boomer?
But her battery metal will only
last for a short while!
Next Bubblegum Crisis!
