"These days, no matter what I'm doing" "His face keeps popping up" "Twenty-four hours is chock-full of time" "But he's tied it all up" "Now, I'm gonna start working" "But he always gets in my way" "I'm a really, really, really, really hard worker" "But I was already under his spell" "No matter what I'm doing, I can't help but think about him" "And my mind is filled with him" "I just can't do anything now unless he's there for me" "He's always there inside me, me, me, me, me, me, me" "Bicycle, bicycle, ring, ring, ring, ring, ooh, yahoo, ooh, yahoo." "Good morning!" "Good morning, Sir." "Yo, Naka-Teach." "You're unusually early today, Kotobuki." "Well, I guess I want to see you happy once in a while, you know?" "Kotobuki!" "It makes me happy to hear that, even though I know it's a lie!" "I'm going to work hard today too!" "Naka-Teach overreacts so much." "There's nothing wrong with that." "He's happy." "Mr. Nakanishi can act pretty cute sometimes, you know?" "Ran!" "Isn't that girl from Class 4..." "Takazawa, wasn't it?" "You know, why don't you stop thinking about yourself for once and stop coming to school?" "Think about what we go through, being forced to do these things." "Hey, hey!" "Hold it right there." "Kotobuki." "What the heck?" "Are you bullying her?" "You guys look so nice, but you've got dirty attitudes." "Come on, let's go." "You should know that getting in our way means you're going against Gunjo." "Gunjo?" "What's Gunjo got to do with anything?" "It just means you'll get in trouble if you help Takazawa." "What?" "Don't tell me you're bullying her because Gunjo told you to." "What?" "For real?" "Let's go!" "Hey..." "Hey!" "Kotobuki!" "That's quite a sense of justice you've got there." "Gunjo..." "So, the mastermind appears." "Mastermind?" "What are you talking about?" "Do you even have any proof?" "Well, Takazawa?" "Hey!" "Miss Takazawa?" "Kotobuki!" "You can make all the noise you want, but it won't do you any good." "What?" "No one will believe the word of a troublemaker." "Tear It Off " " Rip, Rip " " Teacher's Gold Leaf Exterior" "Man, oh, man, so by the time I came to, I was at a lake in England, (Year 1 Class 2) and while I was panicking about having to get back to Japan quick," "I was suddenly attacked by the Loch Ness Monster and..." "(Exclusively For Ran Kotobuki)" "So, why did you really forget your homework?" "I was surfing the net." "(Obsolete Term)" "You weren't tardy today, so I was hoping you'd done your homework too." "You make your teacher sad!" "Don't cry, Naka-Teach, hopes have a way of getting dashed." "(Year 1 Class 2)" "I don't want to hear that from you!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "I'm against violence!" "Does everyone have a test in front of them?" "All right, you may start the mini-test!" "Mr. Gunjo, I don't have a copy." "Oh, you're here, Takazawa." "Sorry, I didn't even notice." "Damn it!" "Of all the times the bathroom could have a long line, why did it have to be before Gunjo's class?" "!" "Oh, shoot!" "They've already started!" "Man, sorry for making you wait!" "Kotobuki, you're a minute late." "Take ten laps around the schoolyard as punishment." "Yeah, yeah." "Ten laps?" "You got it." "You've got a bad attitude." "Twenty laps around the schoolyard!" "Mr. Gunjo, that's a little extreme." "This is my class and I set the rules." "Piece of cake, piece of cake." "Twenty laps?" "Is that all you want?" "That's totally easy." "Well, I'll be on my way then." "How dare you speak so mockingly towards your teacher?" "!" "Why don't YOU do something about your sneering attitude towards us students?" "Don't talk back!" "You're a problem child through and through." "Thirty laps around the schoolyard!" "You make me laugh." "So, any student who doesn't act the way you want is a problem child?" "And a good student is someone who does everything you say?" "That practically sounds like you're a bratty kid!" "Maybe you're the one who's more of a problem child than I am!" "What did you say?" "!" "You little..." "Hold it!" "You better put that fist down right this minute." "We're watching you real close." "Forty laps around the schoolyard!" "Hah!" "I'll run fifty laps, just for kicks!" "I'm beat!" "It's because you seriously ran fifty laps." "Ran, you're so stubborn." "I can't let something this small get me down!" "Oh, Takazawa." "Miss Kotobuki, can I talk to you for a sec?" "I'm sorry about this morning." "You helped me out, but I..." "Forget that, what the heck's going on?" "Why does Gunjo have it in for you?" "Somehow, the fact we didn't win at the sports fest got to be all my fault." "For real?" "!" "How does that work?" "!" "I'm being given the silent treatment by my class right now." "Is that Gunjo's doing too?" "It started with Gunjo openly ignoring me and that caught on with the class." "Honestly, it's hell." "I'm all alone in the class." "Takazawa, you'll be playing right into Gunjo's hands, if you believe it's your fault that you guys lost the sports fest." "Just take it easy and don't let the silent treatment get to you." "If it's rough on you to stay in class, come visit Class 2." "We're all pretty cool in my class." "D'oh!" "See ya!" "Don't give in to it, Takazawa!" "Whoa!" "This is seriously cheap!" "Four bottles of nail polish, eye shadow, face pack, glitter, a ring, and this and that, and it's exactly 1000 yen!" "Woohoo!" "A buck shop is like Heaven for Ran." ""Buck shop" means a "dollar store"." "That's common knowledge for gals." "I don't have enough money to buy bleach!" "I've got leftover bleach at home." "You wanna come over afterwards?" "Yeah!" "I'll come, I'll come!" "What about you, Aya?" "I..." "Don't tell me, a date?" "Otohata!" "Yo." "Where do you want to go today?" "Sorry, I have to work." "I'll make it up to you next time." "Okay, I guess it can't be helped then." "Later." "Have fun at work." "Just getting to see him, even once today, makes me so happy." "There are flowers flying around." "She's the type that's gonna have a tough time with guys." "Hello, we're visiting!" "It's cramped, but make yourselves comfy, okay?" "Can I have a juice?" "Hey, Ran." "Go ahead." "Is your mother not home today?" "Yeah, I don't think she'll be home again for a while." "Miyu's mother thinks all she has to do is leave some money." "Say, what about your father?" "He got a divorce when Miyu was in third grade and he's been remarried for a long time now." "Oh, I'm sorry." "No prob, no prob." "You've got a good deal left over!" "Well, it's like I'm living by myself, so it's easygoing." "Easygoing..." "You're lucky." "Now, then." "Aya, won't it be bad if they find out you're skipping cram school?" "Well, for now, my grades haven't dropped, so..." "But I don't think they'd understand, no matter what I said." "Besides, they expect too much out of me." "Hey, hey, I'm thinking about growing my hair out sometime soon." "Besides, they expect too much out of me." "What do you think?" "But I think that might still be better than being forsaken." "I could attach extensions" "But I think that might still be better than being forsaken." "and get long hair that way," "But I think that might still be better than being forsaken." "but they're so expensive, you know?" "Miyu doesn't even have conversations." "but they're so expensive, you know?" "Miyu doesn't even have conversations." "And wigs are expensive too." "Hey, are you listening to me?" "!" "Come on, it's rough being ignored, you know!" "Yeah, yeah." "It's rough being ignored." "Yeah, I'll bet it is." "He said to use this to capture Kotobuki's weakness." "He said he'll stop the silent treatment if you do." "But you know," "Mr. Gunjo's just messed up." "I can't believe he'd order his students to bully someone." "I wonder if he's making an example of Miss Takazawa to tell everyone, "This is what happens if you defy me"?" "He's seriously the worst teacher ever!" "What's going on?" "Are you having trouble with a teacher at school?" "Something like that." "What should we do?" "We can't just forget about Miss Takazawa." "Do you want to go talk to Naka-Teach?" "I don't know about that." "Why?" "Mr. Gunjo's outwardly pretty popular, and he's probably made sure the two who were bullying her won't talk." "Even if we tell Mr. Nakanishi..." "Meaning, he's left us no opening?" "Talking about him is starting to piss me off!" "Going out of your way to stick your nose into trouble is just so, I don't know, simpleminded." "Shuddup!" "Leave me alone!" "Ran, have some takoyaki and calm down." "Yummy!" "Idiot." "So, what are we going to do?" "I don't know." "There's really nothing we can do." "Anyone who underestimates the power of gals is gonna get hurt!" "Gals never give into evil, no matter what!" "Not once has evil ever flourished, to last forever." "So, what are we going to do?" "It looks like she didn't actually have any ideas." "Just enthusiasm." "Whoa!" "These boots are majorly cute!" "What?" "Where, where?" "There!" "Look!" "Hey, those are pretty nice." "Aren't they?" "Oh, what about these over here?" "Look, there's a different colored pair over there." "Hey, you're right!" "If it's rough on you to stay in class, come visit Class 2." "We're all pretty cool in my class." "Isn't this one cute too?" "!" "I like this one!" "But I like the pink one." "I..." "What am I doing?" "Then how about we each buy a pair in different colors?" "That's a great idea!" "Then what color should I get?" "I'm taking pink." "I gotta have the pink." "Then, Miyu's gonna pick..." "Well, it's almost time for prep school, so..." "Okay, see ya!" "What the hell were you thinking?" "!" "Speak up!" "Hey!" "Why don't you say something?" "!" "Platform sandal kick!" "What the hell are you guys doing to my friend?" "!" "Miss Kotobuki, please stop!" "These people helped me." "What the heck?" "How are you gonna make it up to me?" "!" "For this?" "!" "What's going on here?" "Tell me everything." "Hey, don't ignore me!" "We were waiting for the light to turn green, when she started crossing with a brooding look on her face." "And we saved her from getting run over." "She was definitely in suicide-mode." "Suicide?" "!" "No, that's not it." "I was just a little spaced out." "Takazawa, what happened?" "Nothing." "If it's nothing, why the heck would you miss the stoplight?" "!" "I'm not a psychic, you know." "I can't do anything for you, if you won't talk to me!" "Say, I know we're not much, but if you want our help, we're here." "Takazawa, don't keep all your problems to yourself." "We're friends, aren't we?" "I was told to get a hold of your weakness, and he'd stop the silent treatment if I did." "Gunjo..." "But there was no way I could betray you, Miss Kotobuki." "And when I realized that, I just didn't know what to do anymore." "Damn that Gunjo!" "Talk about a nasty teacher!" "Miss Takazawa..." "Thanks for talking to us." "That's the sign of a true friend." "Miss Kotobuki..." "Here you go." "Ran, I'm going to walk Miss Takazawa home." "I'm counting on you." "Don't give in to that bastard Gunjo!" "If the going gets tough, drop by Shibuya anytime!" "We'll let you join our group, even if you're not a tan-face!" "Shoot!" "Takazawa!" "Morning!" "Morning!" "Shoot!" "Later!" "In before the bell!" "Morning!" "Morning!" "Hey, hey, Ran." "Since it's raining today," "Gunjo's P.E. class is being turned into an hour of morality." "Morality?" "!" "It sounds like he might launch a concentrated attack against you." "Well, what happens will happen." "Right, Takazawa?" "Yesterday, I found some real leather boots!" "Later." "Buh-bye." "Hurry up and get in your seats!" "We're starting class!" "I'd like for us to do something different today and think about the school regulations." "Kotobuki, stand up." "What do you think of the school regulations?" "Maybe that question was too cruel for you." "Bleached and dyed hair, earrings and other accessories, loose socks..." "Kotobuki, you're breaking quite a few school regulations there." "Do you think it's okay to not follow school regulations?" "Do you all think nothing of the way Kotobuki dresses?" "They say, "Disorderly attire is the sign of a disorderly mind."" "Take a good look!" "Here's an example of it right here!" "If you are proper and modest, you would never think to dress like this!" "Take a look at my class!" "I don't have one problem child like her!" "Even though there's a huge problem with the teacher." "Goodness!" "You don't even know how to properly address a teacher." "Kotobuki, you are mold, growing in the school." "Mold has to be wiped away completely." "And you've got a gold leaf exterior." "Gold leaf exterior?" "At first sight, you look all gold and shiny, but peel away a layer and there's nothing but rust." "Right?" "Your brain's behind the times, so I'll spell it out for you." "These days, it's normal for students not to say what they think." "What?" "Your students in Class 4 do what you tell them to, but it's not because they respect you." "Shut up." "I wonder if they'll still listen to you, when your teacher's gold leaf exterior falls off?" "Shut up!" "Ran, are you okay?" "!" "Leave her there." "We're continuing the class." "Hey, what are you doing?" "!" "There's nothing wrong with doling out physical punishment when talking won't do the job!" "Physical punishment?" "!" "When talking won't do the job?" "!" "You bastard, just because she touched a sore spot..." "Miyu..." "You stay out of this." "It's bad enough that I'll be going down with him for this." "Ran..." "Going down?" "Me, a teacher, with a problem child?" "Ridiculous." "What happened, Mr. Gunjo?" "I heard a really loud noise." "Oh, it's nothing." "Please go back to your class." "But..." "That's right, I'm nothing." "Naka-Teach..." "Kotobuki, are you hurt?" "!" "A bruise like this will go away after a while, but you left a huge bruise on one of your students' feelings!" "Do you even realize that, you big moron?" "!" "Kotobuki, why you..." "Gunjo, you bastard!" "Have you ever believed in your students, even just once?" "!" "Stop it, Kotobuki!" "Do you know how much Takazawa's suffering because of you?" "!" "Takazawa?" "You mean the Takazawa in Class 4?" "What about her?" "It's nothing, Mr. Nakanishi." "But..." "Kotobuki, you better be prepared for the consequences for using violence against a teacher." "Hold me back or expel me, I don't care!" "But not before I totally tear that gold leaf exterior off of you!" "Kotobuki!" "Mr. Nakanishi, I reprimanded Kotobuki on her lifestyle and attitude, and now she's trying to get back at me by making false accusations!" "I can't believe this!" "The students in your class have probably already caught on to you by now!" "They're just flinching away from your fake brilliance!" "But the great Ran isn't gonna give an inch!" "Don't underestimate the power of gals!" "What are you talking about?" "!" "My educational principles are not wrong!" "What Miss Kotobuki said is the truth." "Takazawa..." "Mr. Nakanishi, I..." "We're in the middle of class, go back to your classroom!" "I was told that it was my fault that we lost at the sports fest and Mr. Gunjo ordered everyone in the class to ignore me." "That's not true!" "Mr. Nakanishi, I never said anything like that!" "Takazawa, enough with the lies!" "It may be true that we lost the sports fest because of me, but it's impossible for us to work hard for a teacher who doesn't believe in us!" "Takazawa!" "Mr. Gunjo never says anything directly." "He tells us in a roundabout way to give Miss Takazawa the silent treatment, that if you don't, you'll be next." "You..." "I was told the same thing, by Mr. Gunjo." "That's a lie!" "I never said anything like that!" "Mr. Nakanishi, who are you going to believe?" "!" "Me or them?" "!" "The gold leaf exterior's been torn off." "In the end, I was only placed under suspension for five days." "Normally, I would've been expelled, but Naka-Teach apparently appealed to the principal for me." "Real teachers without gold leaf exteriors sure are different." "I got lectured and given the giant swing treatment from Pops, but the toughest part was the 50-page repentance essay." "But well, with everyone's help, I managed to get it done, and with testimonies from the students," "Gunjo got suspended from work and it was happily ever after." "Or, it was supposed to be, but..." "Something's not right." "It's a well-written essay, but I find it hard to believe that you wrote it." "Something's fishy." "Come on, that's my honest to goodness handwriting!" "Oh, please, Naka-Teach!" "Maybe you're just underestimating my Japanese skills." "Then, let me ask you..." "How do you read this word?" "!" "(To Strive)" "Can't you even read the words that you wrote yourself?" "!" "Well... (Exclusively For Ran Kotobuki)" "You're rewriting the repentance essay!" "The evil in this world has never prospered to this day!" "I hate it, you're always laughing" "And so strong and cute and popular" "I hate it, I'm so dull and slow" "And no one needs me..." "You're smart and always so perfect" "People probably just make fun of me" "To be honest, I want to try talking to you" "I want to become friends with you" "I was so envious of you" "And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone" "Tell me, are you alone and afraid, too?" "Is everyone miserable and weak?" "If only I had more courage" "I would have given you a hug" "Next Super GALS!" "Sacred lots, tarot cards, and horoscopes." "There are all sorts of ways to tell your fortune, but the most accurate fortune in this world is the sizzling, grilling steak fortune telling!" "If you're lucky, you win big at the lottery in one try!" "But life isn't always one good thing after another!" "If you're unlucky, a car's coming, headed straight for you!" "Like hell I'm gonna get run over and kick the bucket!" "I don't want my fortune, I don't wanna look!" "Is breaking up with Tatsukichi the only way I can escape this fate?" "Next time on Super GALS!" "Ran Kotobuki," "Off To Machida " " The Monkey Leaves " " Tatsukichi Gets Dumped?" "!" "Don't you miss it!" "That's an ironclad rule for gals!"
