"First, we'll lay out the facts of Michiyo's death in front of them all." "We'll investigate the disciplinary committee and the school." "Got it." "Hey, not so fast." "You're not going to beat them that way." "Wouldn't it be better to catch them off guard?" "Who the hell are you?" "A guy who wants to bring that school down for reasons of my own." "So what do you say?" "You want to join forces?" "We could make a much bigger impact." "No, thanks." "We'll do it ourselves." "Call me if you change your mind." "I'll be waiting."

"This wouldn't have happened if you weren't all so lewd." "How can you say that?" "You're the one who urged us to go." "Tomorrow, the chairman pays his visit." "If he finds out, we're finished." "We tried our best to identify this guy." "He graduated from a top tier college and joined the police." "Two years later, he was let go for disciplinary reasons." "After that, he became a tabloid reporter on politicians and celebrities." "He works behind the scenes and blackmails people." "I wonder if he's targeting Mr. Sato." "Where is Wakabayashi hiding?"

" What do you want?" "You guys have a warrant?" "This is your warrant!" "Damn it!" "Wearing a badge doesn't give you the right." "Some disciplinary committee." "Can't do anything without the aid of the police and the teachers." "Is that so?" "I'll give you a taste of how the disciplinary committee settles things." "Strip them down and tie them up." "Cut it out!" "No need to lay your filthy hands on me." "Boil me or broil me." "Do what you please." "I, Noriko the Cross, am not the ordinary kind of victim you're used to preying upon." "Officer, let us take care of this situation." "I suppose problems on campus are yours to settle." "We'll let you handle it." "Stay out of trouble." "Miss Nozaka, I'm counting on you."

"I'm nobody important." "Let me warn you that all I have to do is yell for my aides to come flying in, and the police are on security duty here." "I'll give you five minutes." "What is it you want?" "Mr. Sato, your political career is hanging by a thread." " What did you say?" " 50 million in cash." "That should keep you safe." "Ludicrous!" "Are you insane?" "What are these?" "If those get released, the political foundation that has supported you will collapse." "50 million is not a bad price." "Are you threatening me?" "It's not a threat."

"Well, then, have 50 million ready by 1 0:00 tomorrow morning." "Fine." "Hey, Takeshita." "Call Ishihara right away." " Right away." " Ouch, this is hot." "You're here right on time." "For you to call me so early, it must be something important." "It's important for both of us." "Your rival, Noriko the Cross, is being held captive at the school." "I need you to help her." "Why don't you help her?" "I've got troubles of my own." "I'm in the midst of a big job." "I'm guessing that they have her in the science lab." "I'm counting on you." "He thinks he's so cool." "What the hell do you want?" " Maki." " Don't feel like you owe me one." "I can't let you die until I'm done with you." "Somebody help!" "Look at this!" "HOPE" " SHIGERU SATO" "GOOD-BYE, TOMOKO" "Tomoko was always so vibrant." "Look at her now." "This school is deranged!" "Even our brilliant chairman is nothing but a beast!" "And all our teachers are his partners in crime." "We've got to do something." "But how will we fight back?" "What can we possibly do?" "We may be weak as individuals, but if we all pull together, we can do something." "That's right!" " What's so deranged about this school?" " Let's hear it." "Spit it out!" "Let me tell you precisely." "This school is a bona fide zoo." "Starting with the chairman all the way down the line, you're all vampires." "Shut up!" "You're only a student." "Noriko, you girls are all going to the police as witnesses to Tomoko's death, caused by her own neurosis." "Don't get smart with me, peon." "Yoko, today will be the day I get my revenge for Michiyo's death." "Just you and me." "Come on!" "Idiots!" "Where do you think you are?" " This is a hallowed classroom." " Shut up!" " Shut up!" " Stop your blather." "You're all coming down to the station." " Come on." " You shut up!" "Stop." "Get her, Noriko." "I won't let anyone get in the way." "Honey, the chairman is on the phone." "What?" "Michiko, please go to the chairman's house at once." " Me?" " Yes." "No matter what happens, we must make it through the school's anniversary." "Mr. Chairman, please wait a little while longer." "I'm being blackmailed for 50 million as a result of Ishihara's carelessness." "I want to make that clear before the ceremony begins." "This means that after just three days, his term as principal is over." " Let's go." " Please wait." "What are you doing, Ms. Mishima?" "It is a wife's duty to clean up her husband's mess." "What?" "Red on a white background" "TheJapanese flag is dyed" "How beautiful they are" "Michiko's legs" " Don't you like it?" " Please stop." "Michiko, oh, Michiko." "You're going to be my dog." "You're wet." "Nice and damp." "It almost looks like rain tomorrow." "Aren't my techniques good?" "It's hot." "With this one body," "I've gotta get my 50 million worth of fun." "Ouch, ouch, ouch." "Excuse the intrusion, but I'm here to collect my 50 million." "And who are these women?" "We're honor students from your school." "Ms. Michiko, I hope you're not going to lecture us from that position." "If you don't pull out, we'll have to take you both." "We only have a beef with you." "All I want is the 50 million." "Mr. Sato, thanks for the dough!" "25TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE CEREMONY" "Chief, you still haven't found the chairman?" "We're doing our best, but we don't have any leads." "He's already an hour late." "The VI Ps in attendance are starting to get annoyed." "Principal." "All the students are in the dorm boycotting the ceremony." "Shit!" "I'll get the riot squad out here immediately." "Wait a minute." "The election is coming up and we don't want to mar Mr. Sato's image." "We should get the ceremony over and done with." "How can we have the ceremony without the chairman?" "We'll just do it." "The ceremony will proceed under my supervision." "50 million yen." "You're pretty thorough." "You even stole the car." "What now?" "My deal is done." "I'm just going to kick back and watch you." "Ladies and gentlemen." "Our School of Hope calls forth a brilliant tradition." "I'd like to start this 25th Anniversary Ceremony by making an apology to you all." "As you may be aware, our chairman, Mr. Sato, is an influential man in the political affairs of our nation." "In recent days, troubles inside and outside of the political arena at this very critical moment have required Mr. Sato to immediately report to headquarters in Tokyo." "He had to change his plans late last night and make an emergency trip." "I plead that you all understand and accept these circumstances." "Lying fool!" "The chairman's right here." "Mr. Sato!" "Chairman." "What are you doing?" "Get out of the way!" "Mr. Ishihara, no matter how hard you try to save face for the school, the School of Hope is collapsing." "Do you hear that noise?" "All of you, listen well to the sound of the School of Hope collapsing." "A cold wind is blowing" "Not a soul on campus" "The shadows cast are full oflies" "That's me in my school uniform" "Purposely with a light step" "I continue to walk" "A cute little pup comes to play" "And won't leave me alone" "Days of song are so far away" "They'll never come again for me" "Cut it out!" "Get out!" "All female students, abide by law and order." "Quickly remove the barricades." "Stop your useless resistance and remove the barricades." "Stop throwing rocks!" "It's hazardous to throw rocks." "If you do not stop your defiance, we will exercise force." "Get them!" "Stop throwing rocks!" "Do not resist!" "Quickly remove the barricades." "Hey, stop that!" "That's the chairman's car!" "Let's burn it up!" "Lift it up!" "Lift it up!" "SHIGERU SATO FI RE PREVENTION WEEK" "50 million!" "Hey, there's a fire!" "Somebody help me!" "There's a fire!" "50 million." "50 million." "THE REARI NG OF GOOD WIVES AND WISE MOTHERS" "Walk!" "Hurry up and walk!" "That was a grand graduation ceremony." "With free enrollment in a detention center." "We didn't get to settle our fight." "We'll have to wait until we're locked up." "On the double." " Shall we?" " Let's go." "Hurry it up." "Walk!" "What are you doing?" "50 million, up in smoke." "A moment's dream." "THE END"
