"I should be able to do anything with all the things around me." "I just have to use my head and the incantation." "If I get hungry my incantation is "Pipopa" and the noodle shop will make a speedy delivery." "When I get sleepy I flop out." "If I lie down a while I'll be feeling fine by the next morning." "You have it in you, too." "This mysterious power." "If you have a dream, then even a dream is more than just a dream." "Wow!" " Gee!" "It's beautiful!" " It sure is!" "Ow!" "I'm sorry!" "Are you okay?" "Uh, yeah!" "Don't move." "Oh!" "I'm sorry." "I wasn't paying attention." "No, I was looking up at the trees..." "I'm sorry." "We were doing the same thing." "Looking at the beautiful light filtering through the trees." "Yeah!" "The Blue Sky Rangers" "Oh, thanks so much for taking the trouble to bring her home." "Mr. Tenchi Masaki, was it?" "Yes." "There!" "You're lucky you bumped into such a good, young man." "If this were a girl's comic, it'd be such a passionate scene!" "Did you feel the passion?" "Huh?" "Gee whiz, Mom!" "When I first met Ginji..." "Uh, excuse me?" "Yes?" "How's the sales status of this?" "The Blue Sky Cool Rangers, huh?" "I love 'em!" "Uh, that's not what I meant..." "They're really popular with boys." "The CDs are selling okay here." "Do you like that kind of thing?" "I'm the assistant director of the show." "Assistant director...?" "He makes the shows." "Yeah?" "!" "That's great!" "Thanks." "Actually, I'm gonna be allowed to direct soon." "So now I'm really concerned about how popular it is." "I've never watched it before, but I'm gonna start this week!" "Um, good luck!" "I'm sure you'll be able to film a really good movie!" "Thank you." "The Blue Sky Cool Rangers" "The Blue Sky Cool Rangers" "Cool Red!" " Green!" " Pink!" " Yellow!" " Black!" "Cool Rangers!" "Oh, yeah!" "This opening gets your blood pumping every time!" "Isn't that right, Honoka?" "It's made your blood pump for over 20 years now, right, Ginji?" "What?" "This has been on for that long?" "Yes." "It started with the Five Secret Ninja Rangers." "They kept making them, with the ideas changing every time." "It's one of Japan's legendary programs, if you ask me." "And Ginji was disguised as the bad guy, Red Nose in the Ninjas." "And the way he was beaten up, I absolutely melted!" "Really?" "That was a long time ago." "So that man's creating one of Japan's legendary programs!" "What are you reading, Sasami?" "The Blue Sky Cool Rangers Encyclopedia...?" "Yeah, I highly recommend it!" "It's a legendary Japanese program!" "Yeah, right." "Legendary Japanese program, huh?" "That show's for kindergarten kids." "That's not true!" "People work hard to create that show!" "What are you reading?" "It's the Cool Rangers!" "I love Cool Red!" "He's sooo cool!" "Then I'll be Cool Pink!" "Get away from me, freak!" "But why'd you go and buy a book like this, suddenly?" "Uh..." "Well it was interesting, and the people who make it are really nice!" "The people who make it?" "All right!" "Cool Rangers Scene 12, Cut 61" "We're going into the climax!" "And, cut!" "Wonder where Tenchi is...?" "Editing Room" " Oops." " I'm sorry!" "You an actor?" "This is the editing room." "No, I'm Sasami." "I'm looking for Tenchi, the director I mean, for Mr. Masaki." "He ordered a CD from our shop, and it's arrived." "Tenchi's probably reading in the staff room." "Reading...?" "Everyone reads the script, and gives their input." "Want me to give that to him?" "I'm sure he's forgotten to pick it up." "He's so zoned out." "No, thanks!" "I'll take it myself!" "Oh?" "Then..." "Go out there and turn right." "Turn left right away, and the staff room's in the middle building." "You'll see the poster." "Thank you very much, ma'am." "He couldn't have forgotten!" "Tenchi told me, personally!" "Oh, so you found that CD?" "Yes!" "That's wonderful!" "I've been looking for it, for ages!" "I'll be there that morning, to pick it up." "Okay!" "I'll be waiting!" "I'm afraid that's impossible, little girl." "The director's still a long way from finishing up." "Why don't you let me take it for him?" "No, thanks." "Anyway, there's the money to figure out, too." "Um, could I wait for him?" "Well, sometimes he works until late at night." "I think you'd better leave it for tomorrow." "I see..." "I could see this episode as a romantic action." "But if you change it your way the script's warmth will be completely ruined!" "I'd like to try it my way!" "I'm begging you!" "Please let me handle it!" "Please!" "A giant hippo showed up in the town." "Everyone panicked!" "Even the policeman was panicky!" "What am I doing?" "!" "Sorry to keep you, Sasami." "Sorry, Misao, but I've got to deliver something today, too." "Oh, I see." "Sorry." "See you tomorrow!" "Uh-huh." "Sasami..." "I've gotta get the CD to him today!" "Oh!" "Tenchi!" "Huh?" "I finally found you!" "Hi, Sasami." "Is something wrong?" "Is that what it looks like?" "Kind of." "I see." "But if you change it your way, the script's warmth will be completely ruined!" "Tenchi." "Impact is what's important in visual arts." "If you don't have that, you don't get the ratings." "Don't you understand that?" " But..." " Change it!" "Sasami... you know, I..." "Yes, what is it?" "Nothing." "Forget it, it's just boring adult stuff." "I'd be glad to listen." "It's really nothing for you to worry about, Sasami." "Adult stuff, huh..." "I'm just a kid." "I've got a long way to go." "Yeah." "Got a problem, huh, Sasami?" "If you've got a problem, we've all got a problem." "Come on, tell us." "Mom, Dad..." "Um, when am I gonna become an adult?" "You're already quite the wonderful lady, you know." "Oh?" "That's right, Sasami." "Wanting to become an adult is the first step to becoming one." ""The first step to becoming one...?"" "So just be Sasami." "Be as Sasami as you can." "And then, before you know it you'll be a wonderful adult." "So just be the same as always." "I see." "Yeah, you're right!" "I'll just be myself, and keep on going!" "Thanks, Dad!" "Night, Mom." "Let's go, Ryo-Ohki." "What a girl." "What are you saying, Ginji?" "All girls go through this sooner or later." "Did you, too?" "That's a secret." "What a girl." "I'm gonna tell him tomorrow!" "I'll go tell him to do his best!" "Sasami..." "Hello...!" "Stage number 8!" "Number 8... number 8..." "Oh!" "There it is!" "Um..." "Come to watch?" "I don't think you'll be allowed." "What?" "He's so lame, I'm just amazed!" "Huh, I knew it, though." "So Sasami's been coming here to play." "How come she didn't tell me?" "Maybe she doesn't like me anymore..." "What?" "!" "Why do you keep telling me to redo it?" "!" "I was told all I had to do was come out and ad-lib!" "I thought we'd get a better performance if we stuck it out!" "That's why I asked for all the retakes!" "Looks like the shoot's off, Mr. Masaki." "It's good to be sincere, but that alone doesn't cut it, for a director." "Boy, what a terrible situation." "Pretty Mutation Magical Recall!" "Magical Girl Pretty Sammy!" "Tenchi?" "Who're you?" "Count on Sammy, for shooting a scene!" "Magical Girl Pretty Sammy!" "I'll come, even if you don't call!" "Pretty Sammy...!" "You're really her?" "Yes!" "Tenchi!" "Please let me play that last part!" "I might not be as good as that last actor, but I'll do my best!" "Okay, let's do it!" "Hey, that's not bad." "If Magical Girl Pretty Sammy appears in our show we'll be the talk of the industry!" "Our ratings will skyrocket!" "Masaki is a fluky genius of some sort!" "Mistress Misa." "Shouldn't we be messing up their shoot?" "No, no!" "My target is that wretched Pretty Sammy!" "We'll wait till they get to the climax, before we stomp on her." "That'll double her shock." "Then we'll clobber Sammy while she's reeling from the mental impact." "What a plan, Mistress Misa!" "We'll attack while they shoot the climax scene, number 18." "Cut!" "Quiet, up there!" "Oh, sorry!" "Cool Rangers Scene 18, Cut 673" "No use!" "It's a dead end!" "Darn!" "If only we could use the Cool Ranger robot!" "What should we do?" "!" "I'll...!" "Cut!" "What's the matter, Sammy?" "I'm sorry!" "Your line is, "I'll be a decoy."" ""I'll sacrifice myself, if it'll save the rest of you."" "Okay?" "Um..." "What is it?" "That's okay." "I'll give it a shot." "All right, here we go." "Scene 18, Cut 673." "Take 6." "Ready, and action!" "No use!" "It's a dead end!" "Darn!" "If only we could use the Cool Ranger robot!" "What should we do?" "!" "I'll be..." "Sammy!" "Your line!" "Cut!" "What's your problem, Sammy?" "What's gotten into you all?" "!" "W-What the...?" "!" "A Love-love Monster!" "Bulls-eye!" "You missed your chance in the spotlight, Sammy." "What a pity." "Sammy!" "It's Pixy Misa!" "Misa!" "What're you gonna do?" "!" "Of course I'm gonna completely total this set!" "I won't let you do that!" "Let's see you try and stop me!" "Special Effects Girl!" "Total the place!" "Please stop!" "Don't destroy the set!" "My budget...!" "My budget...!" "That suits you people." "They're just costumes at first, but later they'll turn your hearts and bodies into real monsters." " Pink!" " Red!" "Poor Tenchi!" "Turn everybody back!" "I'll think about it if you'll sacrifice yourself for everyone." "Me...?" "Yes!" "Don't do it, Sammy!" "Say it, Sammy!" "The line you were about to deliver in the drama!" "I'll be a decoy." "I'll sacrifice myself, if it'll save the rest of you." "But... but...!" "What?" "I don't want to do that!" "Oh, that's so unfair, Sammy!" "The heroine's supposed to sacrifice herself for everyone, here!" "I don't want to do that!" "Because I..." "I..." "I work together with everyone!" "Special Effects Girl." "Become a decoy for me, and sacrifice yourself for me, okay?" "Converge, magic powers of justice!" "Pretty..." "Coquettish..." "Bomber!" "The bad monster ALWAYS gets it in the end!" "M-My budget..." "What happened...?" "Tenchi!" "Can I change that line?" "Huh?" "To "I'll try my best, and you all do the same!"" "Okay, let's go with that!" "Then Tenchi rewrote the script and had it so that I fought together with the Cool Rangers." "It was a great story!" "It was hard work, but a lot of fun!" "It really was a lot of fun!" "But..." "Hello." "Oh, Mr. Masaki!" "Just a minute, please." "Sasami!" "There's a call for you!" "All right!" "Hello?" "...Oh, hi!" "Yes." "Yes." "What?" "!" "What's wrong, Sasami?" "Answer me!" "Oh, hi, Sasami!" "Tenchi, are you really going to move?" "!" "Yeah, there was a fuss raised the other day about changing that Cool Rangers story." "I'll be working on a set in Kyoto." "No!" "But it was such a great story...!" "Yeah." "It's rare to get fired for making a good show." "Oh..." "That's all right, Kei." "It just happened that a director who saw the show wants to use me as a theatrical director." "Really." "I don't know if that's lucky or not." " Is this the last of your things?" " Yeah." "Thanks, Sasami." "If you ever see Sammy again, could you pass this on for me?" "Tell her it was fun." "Sure." "I bet she probably had fun, too." "Yeah." "Good-bye, Sasami!" "Good-bye!" "Oh, why...?" "!" " Sasami." " Misao." "Sorry to show up like this." "Um, I asked your mom, and she said you were headed over here." "So..." "Misao!" "Sasami!" "I don't know why, but I cried so hard, I couldn't stop." "Oh, boy." "And it wasn't until much later that I started to think that maybe this is what love felt like." "A long, long time later." "Once again, the girl you're watching isn't the real me." "It's a girl that was made up for you and for our love." "You like my honesty." "That's what you say but it's an illusion." "Deceiving others is a way of life." "It's a woman's romance." "I love you more than anyone." "I want to show you a wonderful dream." "I love you so much." "I'm going to keep deceiving you." "I'll make you happier than any other guy in the world." "Miss Kiyone's going to meet someone for an arranged marriage." "Miss Mihoshi is excited and tries to make the meeting work!" "All right!" "Sammy's gonna do her best, too!" "Coming next:" "All I Want is You." "An engagement ring worth 3 months' salary is appropriate!"
