"One calamari, ready to go!" "Looks delicious!" "You wanted a Deluxe, right?" "Give us two!" "Jumping the bill!" "Which way did he go!" "?" "What a dope!" "That okonomiyaki was only half-cooked!" "Shampoo, won't you go out with me today?" "I busy delivering food now!" "Then go out with me after your deliveries?" "After, I go on date with Ranma." "But..." "Who goes there!" "?" "My ramen been stolen!" "Why you...!" "Return that ramen!" "Mousse!" "They so fast!" "What people is that?" "A rash of food thefts?" "That's right." "In the last few days, many local restaurants have been targeted." "While Shampoo was making a delivery..." "She was robbed!" "?" "I so scared, Ranma!" "You avenge Shampoo?" "Ranma's gonna defend MY honor." "Right, Ranma-honey?" "Anyway, if such horrible people are running loose in town we certainly can't ignore it." "I see." "We must gather the Dojo's might to bring the culprits to justice." "Dad..." "Akane." "Welcome home." "Did you hear us talking?" "What'll I do?" "I was planning to go away with my friends for the weekend." "I can handle freeloadin' food thieves by myself." "You're saying I'd be in your way!" "?" "All I said was, I can fight my own fights." "Akane can no handle them food thieves!" "She's right." "Just let Ranma handle this." "Go ahead 'n' run along on your trip." "I see!" "A CAT!" "Dad, I'm going to help, too!" "It's a martial artist's duty to protect the town's peace!" "I'll make sure these thieves are caught!" "I'm gonna cancel my trip!" "I don't want to overstay my welcome." "Oh, are you leaving so soon?" "Be careful when you encounter these thieves." "I have the feeling that normal means will not be effective here." "What's with Akane?" "She should just let me handle the bad guys." "Capturing these criminals may be more difficult than you think." "What'd you say!" "?" "Be quiet and listen to what I have to say." "Ranma Saotome!" "I am here to warn..." "What was that?" "Pigtailed girl!" "How I've longed for you!" "Where'd you come from!" "?" "G-Gimme back m-my..." "M-My p-pineapples..." "Ryoga, you too!" "?" "What?" "You tellin' me you all got robbed by the same crooks?" "I was en route with some Hokkaido pineapples for Akane..." "I was anticipating my deluxe unagi bento during practice." "They caught me with my guard down." "You are so pathetic." "I don't need that from you!" "Perhaps, but the thieves' speed was beyond human." "He consumed my teriyaki eels and rice in a mere four seconds!" "What?" "My pineapples were gone in three seconds!" "Well, Shampoo's ramen was gone in two-point-five seconds!" "Geez!" "So you guys have no idea what these thieves look like?" "I have but one warning for you:" "Don't underestimate these thieves." "They're unlike anyone you've ever fought." "Prepare yourself." "Miss, could you bring us some more nori rice cakes?" "Dad!" "Weren't we supposed to be staking out the food thieves?" "Don't you understand, Akane?" "We pretend to be customers, and wait for the thieves to show." "I'm going home." "Wait, Akane." "Here." "This is a gift for Kasumi and Nabiki." "Does Dad want to catch those thieves or not?" "Who's there!" "?" "It's FOOD!" "Hey, Kurumi!" "Stop that base behavior!" "But it smells so good!" "I told you to stop!" "If you want it, it's yours." "Really?" "Is it okay?" "Okay!" "Thank you." "I appreciate your kindness." "Hey!" "Thank the nice lady!" "Thank you." "It was delicious!" "Th-Think nothing of it." "I gotta go." "Bye!" "Wow, that kid must've been starving!" "Why are those girls following me?" "I'm sorry, I don't have time for games today!" "Akane, welcome home!" "I made it home." "I've lost 'em..." "So you brought your friends home, Akane?" "No way..." "Please help yourself." "Have as many as you like." "Don't make a fuss on our account." "Then I'll help myself!" "We're back." "Visitors?" "Welcome!" "Sorry to intrude." "What proper manners." "Same age as Akane, but worlds apart." "Excuse me!" "Miss Akane!" "We were rude for not introducing ourselves." "My name is Natsume." "My sister Kurumi and I have been traveling all over Japan." "We've been searching for our father who's in training." "Our money ran out, and Kurumi began eating other people's food in order to fill her endless appetite." "It's very troubling." "Then you're the thieves who've been jumpin' the bills!" "Yet, Miss Akane showed charity even to lowly waifs like us." "We must repay her kindness." "That is why we've come." "It's okay!" "Don't worry about it!" "But we must pay you back somehow!" "I don't know how to take this." "Just take it, Akane!" "I'm sure it's difficult living on wits alone." "Why not stay with us a while?" "Really, sir!" "?" "Thank you!" "I'd say this case is closed!" "A happy ending!" "When we're involved, it always ends happily!" "Right, Tendo?" "Saotome." "You're so laid-back." "Pay me for those rice cakes." "Then you'll be so paid-back." "Wow!" "So you're in martial arts training, too!" "Yep." "We made a promise." "Someday, we'll be great martial artists, just like our father!" "Your father?" "Our father is a very powerful martial artist." "His punches could tear the heavens." "His kicks shake the very Earth!" "He's the best!" "A king of kings!" "We're separated now... but he's somewhere, ready to protect us." "We believe in him, and work hard every day." "That's it exactly, Kurumi!" "Natsume!" "Hey, you two!" "We've got a dojo here." "Why don't we have a match?" "But..." "I want to see how good you two are." "Please?" "All right." "Since you ask it of us, Akane, we'll gladly spar with you." "Right, Kurumi?" "Yes..." "Ma'am." "Tendo Dojo" "This ain't such a good idea." "What do you mean by that!" "?" "You've only been jogging' lately." "Fight now, and you'll get hurt." "Shut up!" "We're not fighting for real, okay!" "?" "Akane, are you sure you want to do this?" "I'm fine!" "Really, I'm okay!" "All right, here I come." "I can't touch her!" "Is she reading my moves?" "Look out, Akane!" "I'm sorry, Akane!" "I threw you so suddenly." "Did it hurt?" "No, not at all!" "I was no match for her." "I told you it wasn't a good idea." "To thank you for sparring with me, I'll cook you dinner!" "Really!" "?" "How wonderful, Kurumi!" "Just leave it to me!" "Everyone!" "Time for dinner!" "Okay!" "It couldn't be that this food..." "Right." "Akane made half of tonight's dinner!" "She was so excited to be cooking for guests..." "Gee, I'm not feelin' that well..." "You're not getting away!" "This is my specialty." "Dig in." "Thank you." "Thank you!" "N-No!" "You fools!" "You'll die!" "S-She's eating it." "And she's still alive..." "It's good!" "Can I have some more?" "Really!" "?" "I'm so happy!" "Have all you like!" "There's plenty!" "Isn't that nice, Akane?" "She must have been desperate for food." "No, the endless life of hunger turns your stomach to cast-iron." "T-There's more to them than meets the eye." "It was delicious!" "Not at all." "Kurumi!" "So you and Akane had a match today." "How'd it go?" "Well..." "She was a pushover, right?" "Nabiki!" "Akane only does martial arts to avoid dieting, these days." "The heir to the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts is useless." ""Anything-Goes Martial Arts"!" "?" "What's wrong, you two?" "You look a little pale." "Our one and only goal is to be the best in Anything- Goes Female Martial Arts!" ""Be the best..."" ""...in Anything-Goes Female Martial Arts"...!" "?" "Impossible!" "Anything-Goes only has two schools:" "Tendo and Saotome!" "Our father said this:" ""When you become true martial artists..." ""You will inherit the Anything- Goes School of Martial Arts."" "What's your father's name?" "It's Tendo Soun!" "I'm Soun Tendo." "Then that was you!" "You're our father!" "Father!" "How we've missed you!" "Father..." "No!" "You've got life in you yet, Daddy." "What is going on here, Dad!" "?" "I don't know!" "I don't remember fathering illegitimate children!" "Do you have any proof that I'm your father!" "?" "I have proof right here." "That's my father." "This man with his back to the camera?" "It all happened ten years ago..." "My sister and I were practicing in the mountains one day..." "Natsume!" "Are you two girls all right?" "Thank you!" "And suddenly we had this feeling!" "This stranger must be our own beloved father!" "Then he said..." "When you become true martial artists..." "You will inherit the Anything- Goes School of Martial Arts." "I never dreamed we'd be reunited like this!" "Are you sure you don't remember this?" "Look deep into your heart and see if you can't recall, Tendo." "Saotome!" "I don't need you to prod me!" "But one snapshot don't prove nothin'." "That's right!" "You can't even see his face!" "And it's a childhood memory." "There must be some mistake." "Good of you to realize it!" "Great!" "You're smart!" "Smart!" "No!" "There's no mistake." "The promise was signed on the back." ""You'll inherit the Anything- Goes School when you get big." "Your Pops, Soun Tendo."" "That's that." "Daddy's writing was sloppy then, too." "Oh, my." "It is true." "You really are our Papa!" "I don't know them!" "Truly I don't!" "Kasumi!" "Nabiki!" "Believe me!" "Oh, Father!" "This can't be..." "Why don't you legally recognize them as your daughters, Tendo?" "Don't talk baloney, Saotome!" "They're good kids." "That's a good early workout, Akane." "Good morning, Father." "Your breakfast has been prepared." "All right." "Wh-What is this!" "?" "They insisted on making your breakfast personally, Father." "The head of the household must receive proper nutrition!" "Say "Ahh..."" "Papa!" "Have some of this, too!" "Look at the way they treat him!" "I envy you, Tendo." "I can't take this heavy food!" "But talk about luxury!" "Happiness is two daughters tending to your every whim!" "But..." "Papa!" "Mr. Saotome!" "Let me give you a backrub!" "Thank you." "You're so tense!" "This is heaven." "I've brought you your paper, Father!" "Thank you." "Papa, I've made you some tea!" "So considerate..." "Father, your lunch is ready." "Papa, I've bought you some bean-filled rice cakes!" "Thanks." "I can't take it..." "Tendo, you really don't remember?" "Saotome, I'm not that virile!" "I couldn't have done it!" "Father!" "Mr. Saotome!" "Allow me to wash your back." "No!" "Young girls shouldn't be in the bathroom with grown men..." "Your back is so big, Mr. Saotome!" "Thanks for all your help!" "Don't you think they're overdoing it!" "?" "Dad and Mr. Saotome!" "Flatter them a little and they melt!" "I've never seen anything so disgusting!" "But they're saving us the trouble of taking care of Daddy!" "Natsume and Kurumi have never known the joys of family life." "Perhaps a little tolerance is in order." "Maybe..." "Father!" "Mr. Saotome!" "Here's your beer." "Tendo, nowadays such obedient children are hard to come by!" "All I've got is that ingrate son of mine." "I'm so jealous!" "Let's just let these girls have the Dojo." "Then we could just sit back and enjoy the good li..." "Mr. Saotome, don't give Dad any dumb ideas." "Akane, what Mr. Saotome says is the proper opinion." "What!" "?" "Anything-Goes Martial Arts is passed down through generations." "Only the best fighter in the family should learn its secrets." "I'm saying that we are the more appropriate heirs, not you." "Natsume!" "So you're saying you're stronger than me?" "Shall we find out?" "I'm looking forward to it!" "Now wait, both of you!" "Hold it right there!" "I, Ranma Saotome, accept that challenge!" "Ranma!" "Don't make this any worse than it already is!" "That's right!" "This is MY fight!" "It's fine with me." "I don't know who you are, but we can fight two-on-two." "It's a match!" "For the position of heir to the Tendo Dojo!" "Good idea!" "I don't care what's on the line..." "Ranma!" "What have you done!" "?" "What if you lose!" "?" "Don't worry." "I'm gonna win, easy!" "Why aren't you fighting as a boy?" "A guy can't go full power when he's fightin' girls!" "Don't hold back, Kurumi!" "Why is this happening!" "?" "It's probably fate." "Don't hurt each other, all right?" "Let it begin!" "I'm gonna finish this in one blow!" "Ranma!" "What's with that ribbon!" "?" "It feels like it's on fire!" "Ranma, are you okay?" "Hey, stupid!" "Don't worry about me!" "Open your eyes!" "That blow felt so cold!" "Like a razor-sharp wind!" "Akane!" "You idiot!" "Watch your opponent!" "Leave me alone!" "I'm a martial artist too, you know!" "Don't go puttin' on airs!" "Just let me handle this!" "It's my duty to protect the Dojo!" "Listen to those two." "This is no time for an argument." "Kurumi!" "Now." "O-Okay..." "What?" "Oh, no!" "Anything-Goes Secret Attack!" "Ring of Dragon Fire!" "I went easy on them." "Their lives should be in no danger." "We've left no questions unanswered." "Ranma!" "Hey, Ranma!" "If you weren't here, I coulda won that fight easy!" "And I..." "Fine!" "If I'm in your way so much..." "Then..." "Uh-oh." "Oh, my." "Akane!" "Ranma!" "This is your responsibility!" "Until you come back with Akane, don't set foot inside this door!" "I'll show you!" "I'll win back the Tendo Dojo by myself!" "The Tendo Dojo is now ours." "Our long days of living like gypsies are finally over." "Akane..." "Ranma..." "Ranma, you fool!"
