#DUPE# (1992–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - No Need for a Genius! - full transcript
I hereby pass sentence
upon the defendant...
...Professor Washu.
The defendant shall be imprisoned
in an Alpha-L model
restriction capsule and exiled.
What? Hold on a minute!
What did I do to deserve
such a heavy sentence?
All I did was invent dimension-oscillating
bullets, an ozone-destroying cannon,
and a time/space converting tachyon ray!
Isn't that more than enough?
Wake up, Washu.
Good morning, Washu.
Ah, that's right. I didn't
sleep at all last night.
Hmm, everything is working well.
Meta-drive, propulsion system,
and exterior coating.
The third phase is now complete.
Washu, you are a genius.
Washu, you are the greatest in the universe.
It was a piece of cake!
It won't be long now.
Hey, Miss! I got this rice from
the black market just for you.
It's a special blend of Gold
Sasanishiki and High Koshihikari.
It's the very best kind.
R-Really? Is this for me?
But... in return... you know what I want.
Oh, no. I don't think it's a good idea.
Hi! It's time for Kid's Playtime.
How are you all doing?
Fine!
What do you think you are doing?
What?
It was just getting to the juicy part... uh,
getting to a climactic moment.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What do you want anyway, Mihoshi?
Ah, I was going to invite myself to lunch.
We finished our lunch a while ago.
What? You already have?
Tenchi, you know what?
Washu did not show up for breakfast or lunch.
I wonder if there is anything wrong with her.
Hmm, I'll go check on her then.
Washu?
What? She isn't here.
Oh, Tenchi. What is it?
Since you didn't come out to eat,
we were wondering what was going on.
Do you wanna know?
You do want to know, don't you?
Come on. Let us show you.
Okay, then, come over here.
Ah, but...
I could actually use some help, so...
Here it is!
What... is this?
This is my latest invention, Mecha-Washu.
Mecha-Washu? What did
you make such a thing for?
Since I've been sealed
off for a long 700 years,
I'm way behind schedule with my inventions.
I needed an assistant, you see.
This Mecha-Washu
is just as capable as I am,
which means now I can work twice as fast.
And is this finished?
The only thing left to do
is to input my mind data.
And then what happens?
Then it'll be finished, of course.
Huh?
How did you get in here?
I just... came from the entrance.
Tenchi and I got here through pseudo-space.
Washu, what is this?
Using excess energy from pseudo-space
this device duplicates digitized mind data.
Hmm, is that right?
Do you understand now?
You don't get it, do you?
Get out of my way.
Tenchi, I'm transferring the data now.
Could you turn on the switch on
the bottom right of that console?
Huh? Uh, is this it?
No! The one below that.
This must be it.
Hmm, can this be it then?
Oh, that's not right, how about this one?
Hey! Don't play around with that!
Oh, no. What do I do now?
Look what you've done to me!
I'm sorry.
Great! No damage at all!
I've done it! This is finally finished.
Washu, you have done it!
Washu, you are great!
Okay, now. Move, Mecha-Washu.
All right!
Oh, yes, that's my girl. My creation is great.
What?
Is there something wrong?
I'm getting kind of hungry.
- Ah, you, too?
- Ah, you, too?
What... is this?
A blond hair?
Is it possible that the
genetic data from this hair
- got imprinted into Mecha-Washu?
- What happened?
How could your mind data
be transferred instead of mine
because of just one piece of hair?
What kind of mind-data
structure do you have?
Well, I'm sorry.
The robot is gone!
What?
It has to be somewhere within this area.
We've got to find it.
Uh-huh.
It's empty.
This is really the best meat we ever had.
Come on. You want this, too.
Oh, no! Not so fast!
We are interrupting this regular
broadcast for an emergency broadcast.
This just in. Robbers broke
into the Banana Bank in Kurashiki.
What happened to the soap opera?
It was just getting down to the good part.
Oh, my God. I have to do something about this.
Upsy-daisy!
Did I just come by here?
How did it get out of that room?
What was that?
We are just seeing things.
Oh, darn. I don't have
a car to get into the city.
Hold it right there!
What?
Finally, I found you.
Now let's go back to the lab, okay?
Please don't stop me.
I have to go save the hostages.
The bank is being robbed right now.
As a Galaxy Police Officer, I have to...
Look at yourself! What part of you
is a Galaxy Police Officer anyway?
Well, I think you'd better
leave it to the local police.
We have to catch the suspects.
- Shut up!
- Uh, all right.
Oh, no, wait!
If you try to keep me here any longer,
it will constitute an obstruction of justice.
What are you talking about?
All right. If it's necessary to
do this to get justice done...
Go on, Washu.
Let's go, Washu.
What? You traitors!
Are you ready for this?
A Mecha-Washu punch!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Huh? Come out.
I got her.
Are you okay, Mihoshi?
It hurts.
What did you make such a weapon for?
It's a defense mechanism, just in case.
As a genius, I always have to
be prepared for the worst scenario.
Uh-huh, she is a genius.
Yup, a genius can't help it.
Isn't she always creating the
worst possible scenario herself?
You've got nowhere to hide now.
Mecha-Washu beam!
What's the commotion?
We can't hear the TV!
Oh, sorry.
Watch out!
Isn't that just like a machine I invented?
It has such great power.
Washu, you are wonderful.
Washu, you are great!
Wipe that irritating smile off your face!
Everybody seems to be having
fun as usual. Right, Ryo-Ohki?
Now I'm gonna have to...
Use those special tactics, right, Washu?
We are all behind you, Washu!
We call this...
...Operation Volleyball!
Prepare to die!
Nobody's ever survived
this atom-destroying ball!
When someone spikes the ball
it disrupts the atoms of the target.
It's a truly clever weapon.
Okay!
Here it comes!
Oops!
Oh, well! After 700 years without
practice my aim can't be perfect.
Can't be perfect?
Hey, what are you doing?
It's coming.
Huh?
Here!
What are you thinking, Ayeka?
Oh, excuse me.
Tenchi, it's coming at you.
This is it!
Attack!
You missed me!
My vegetable garden.
Ah, I have no other choice.
I really didn't wanna use this, though.
What is it?
It's the self-destruct device
for Mecha-Washu.
You had that choice all along?
Why didn't you use that from the start?
I didn't create Mecha-Washu
overnight, you know!
Good-bye, Mecha-Washu.
I wanted to conquer the universe with you.
Let's see...
Come to me, spare body.
Oh, no! The spare body I was reserving.
Ahh, I thought I was finished.
Killing an officer is a very grave offense.
You must be severely punished.
Mecha-Washu beam!
Ohh, what happened?
It's way past our patrolling time.
I wonder what Mihoshi is up to. Huh?
You can't treat me like that!
What is that?
Ah, Kiyone!
Kiyone, listen to me!
These guys are ganging up
on me and standing in my way.
What the heck are you talking about?
Kiyone, be careful!
Washu, do something!
The spare body isn't
equipped with a self-destruct device.
Does that robot have the mind of Mihoshi?
Yeah, you guessed it.
You are such a troublemaker!
Just one thing after another!
I'm so sorry.
- What are we going to do now?
- Kiyone, please help us.
If the robot and Mihoshi truly think alike...
Tenchi, this is gonna work, definitely.
- What?
- Mihoshi, you'd better hurry.
It's almost starting now.
Oh, no!
Oh, I don't wanna miss anything.
Oh, it's already time.
What is it?
Metamor-force!
- Wow! Great!
- Yeah! Moldiver!
It's so cool! Go! Go, Moldiver!
See, I told you it was gonna work.
I see what you mean.
Now where is the on/off switch?
It's behind the neck.
- Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
- It's a great show, huh?
You are such a good girl.
- Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
- Hold still for me, okay?
- Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
- Here!
- Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Yay! Yay...
Kiyone, you are an expert
at how Mihoshi's mind works.
It's not something I'm proud of.
Everybody, dinner is ready!
Oh, good. Dinnertime. I was starving.
Ah, Washu, what's wrong with you?
You're such an airhead.
Washu, you are a genius.
Washu, you are the
greatest in the world!
I've finally done it.
I made sure to only input
my mind data this time.
I'll call this one Mecha-Washu II.
Th-This must be...
Ryo... Ryo-Ohki?
This is funny!
It's snowing. Come out
and see it quick, Ryo-Ohki!
Brrr, it's freezing today.
A day like this is perfect for having hot sake.
Look, Ryoko is glued to the heater.
One morning as snow falls silently the
long-forgotten memories come back to us.
Next episode is: "No Need for Memories!"
Yes, I remember. It was
snowing like this on that day...
It's unquestionably melancholic.
