Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997): Season 1, Episode 2 - For Whom the Rose Smiles - full transcript
Miss Utena! Good morning!
Morning!
She's so cool!
Morning!
Morning.
Morning.
Oh-kay, let's see here - "and so I
dance with you in my dreams, dear Saionji"
Hi Wakaba, I don't usually see you
reading in class. What book might that be?
Huh?
Always... she's always loved
this guy, but after she's rejected
the next day she gets over it, another
man appears, and she falls for him!
When I read this before I thought it
was the lamest, stupidest book I ever read
and I've read some pretty lame ones.
Now, I think it's the greatest!
I told you you were my true love!
Utena! Utena! Utena! I belong to you!
Uh-Wakaba, please! Calm down.
Enough with the mushy true love stuff.
Why?!
Ngh...
Huh?
Good morning.
If it cannot break out of it's shell,
the chick will die without being born.
We are the chick. The world is our egg.
If we don't crack the world's shell,
we will die without truly being born.
Smash the world's shell.
For the revolution of the world!
Have all of you received your
letters from "End of The World?"
I have.
Yes, I have.
So, we all received them.
As it is written in this letter
"Saionji failed yesterday,
and the rose bride was engaged
to the girl who won the duel."
Now we proceed according
to the instructions within.
Is someone who
doesn't even belong to the
student council receiving
these letters also?
Who knows... but she does
wear the rose seal. I saw it myself.
And who is this girl?
Utena Tenjô. She's rather well known
in the middle school. Very popular.
A truly lovely young girl.
Now wait a minute? Someone
we've never heard of just joins the duels?
If this happens again? I...
If it happens, what will you do? Drop
out of the game?
Our letters are one-way
messages from "End of the World"
and we are free to
follow them as we see fit.
When we opened the door to
the arena with these rose seals
the phantom castle appeared,
just as the letters said it would.
Yeah, I know. Just
seeing that convinced me.
I can't think of
dropping out of this now.
Exactly, the letters are
very specific.
The one who wins the rose
bride in the duels
and is engaged to her,
will finally enter the castle
and gain the power to
bring revolution to the world.
And that is why we must fight.
(stopwatch clicks)
(bell tower chiming)
To think that best friends like us got
assigned seperate rooms.
God can be so cruel.
Can't help it. The student
council decides these things.
Besides, getting
a single is fine with me.
Bet you'll have a heck
of a time cleaning it up.
The East dorm hasn't been
used for about ten years.
Ten years?
Yeah. I'll bet cleaning
it all by yourself will be
perfect work for
a single girl like you.
Anyway, my room's in the
South dorm on the third floor!
Come by and visit if you get
sick of your haurnted house.
Seeya!
A haunted house?
What's the deal? It's a pretty building.
Wakaba must've been pulling my leg.
Hello?
My name is Utena Tenjô.
Anybody home?
Don't tell me I'm the only one in here?
Let's see, second floor, middle room...
Uh...
(clanging) Ohh...
Ten years... ughh she's right!
(clock ticking)
Okay...
Huh?
I'm sorry Miss Utena, I'll
be finished cleaning soon.
What are you doing here?
We'll be living together
from now on. How are you?
But.. this is supposed to be a single.
Isn't it?
Funny coincidence, huh?
Us two being roomates?
You've really cleaned this place up!
Sorry you had to do it all yourself Anthy.
I wanted to get it finished
for you by nightfall.
But they only just announced
the dorm assignments, right?
Our getting the same
room isn't just a coincidence.
It's always been the
rules of the rose seal.
Huh?
(pained groaning)
It's because I am the rose bride.
Bride, huh?
I must be engaged to whichever student council
member is the current duelist champion.
Are you sure?
Alright. First question.
What's with the mirage
castle and the trick sword?
Mysteries.
Mysteries?! You mean
you don't know what they are either?
If you don't know,
then why do you do that?
Tell me something. Why do you
wear a boy's uniform Miss Utena?
What, this? Well, because I like to.
It's alright with me. Is our
being here a problem for you?
I can't really say. Wait. Our?
Huh?
Huh?
Chu chu.
Uh-huh...
This is Chu Chu. My friend Chu Chu.
You mean, your pet?
My friend.
Uh, uh oh!
Here you go.
Chu...
Chu?
Hi Chu Chu, I'm Utena Tenjô.
Will you be my friend too?
Chu.
Chu Chu really seems to
be taking to you Miss Utena.
Um, look, can you lose
the Miss Utena? Please?
But I'm engaged to you Miss Utena.
Ugh, that again.
That Saionji guy was
wearing a ring just like this one.
Do you know what this thing is?
All the members of the
student council wear them.
It's a rose seal. Whoever wears
that ring is marked as a duelist.
So, now that you're current
dueling champion
the others who wear the rose seal will
come to challenge you to duels.
You've gotta be kidding! I don't
intend to keep fighting these duesl!
Oh, it's you Mr. President.
Am I disturbing you Mr. Vice President?
No. You're always welcome into my domain.
Is the kendo team captain
going to fight the girl again?
Of course. The power to bring
the revolution belongs to me.
That girl's engagement to
the rose bride is a mistake.
I don't think so.
The rose bride is always to be
engaged to the winner of the duels Saionji.
You're wrong! She belongs to
me!
She will do as I command forever.
That's what's written in my exchange diary.
You keep an exchange diary?
Great. It looks like
me and that weird girl
really are the only
ones living in this dorm.
(sighs)
Is this another one of the rose seal rules?
Chu chu.
Chu chu.
Chu chu.
Chu chu!
Chu chu.
(excited chu'ing)
Huh, Chu Chu! Can you tell
her to hurry up?
Otherwise this feast is going to
turn into a fast-food dinner for one.
(frantic chu'ing)
Why Anthy? Why won't you do as I say?
I'm sorry Saionji, but I'm
engaged to Miss Utena now.
I don't understand.
Didn't you devote yourself to me
completely when we were engaged Anthy?
Yes, but that's in the past. Our engagement
is over now. Please! Forget about me.
(dejected tch)
You little!
(labored breathing)
You're a total disgrace.
No, you are!
You again. Good timing. I only lost
the duel because I let my guard down.
Why don't we settle this once and
for all who shall posess the rose bride?
I want a rematch tomorrow
in the arena, after class.
(goofy pained cry)
Forget it! I refuse to fight another
senseless duel!
I fought you yesterday for my friend
Wakaba. I don't care about the rose bride!
That may be so, but I do.
If you get engaged to the rose bride as a
duelist, then you must have no objections.
Those who oppose the student
council vanish from this campus.
The school's regulations
are quite specific.
Alright, I accept your challenge. I'll
see you after class tomorrow in the arena.
(satisfied laughter)
Chu, chu, chu!
Didn't you say you weren't
going to fight any more duels?
I don't really have a choice, do I? If I
don't fight him, I'll get kicked out of here.
I've got it! I'll just lose,
so there's no problem!
Of course. Do as you please.
Chu...
Do you know? Do you know?
Have you heard the news?
There's gonna be another duel
in the forest behind the school.
It's time we settle this.
You got me!
But I'm okay. I lost intentionally.
But brave hero...
Losing may be harder than you think.
Do you know that?
Do you know? Do you know?
It may be harder than you think.
You know the rules.
If you knock the rose off my chest, I lose.
Be careful.
Oh, I will! It'd be stupid to get
hurt in a duel I plan to lose anyway.
Rose of the noble castle...
Power of Dios that sleeps within
me, heed your master and come forth.
Grant me the power to
bring the world revolution!
I've got you!
Admirable, you put the
rose before your own life.
You understand. Living
or dying doesn't matter.
The one who loses
their rose loses the duel.
It may be the sword of Dios,
but it has no special power by itself.
In the end the sword must
be wielded by a great swordsman.
Now, prepare to whitness my true power.
Both the sword and Anthy belong to
me. They are meant for Kyouichi Saionji.
What was that?! Was that it?
Was that the power to bring the
world revolution? The power of Dios?
Chu! Chu! Chu! Chuu! Chuuuuuu!
Huh?
Chu!
You didn't purposely lose the duel?
It's not what you think.
I did it for Chu Chu! If you went back to
Saionji, he'd just be mean to Chu Chu.
Morning!
She's so cool!
Morning!
Morning.
Morning.
