Hana Yori Dango Vol.29, P.132-183 P.132 (back at Eitoku) Akira: I wonder if they've met yet? Akira: That'll be a moving reunion, don't you think? Soujirou: I bet Tsukasa'll be happy. Soujirou: It's definitely a surprise to see Makino pursuing him for once. Rui: But still... it is Makino we're talking about here. Rui: I bet they'll just get into another fight. Soujirou: Rui, must you be so pessimistic? P.133 (Akira, Soujirou, and Rui sit out on the lawn) Akira: Oh yeah. I checked by Kazuya's house today. Soujirou: So? Has anything happened over there? Akira: Nope, it looks like everything's pretty normal. Akira: What about Yuuki-chan? How are things going at her place, Soujirou? Soujirou: Actually, I haven't called her yet. Soujirou: Rui, you call her. (Soujirou holds his cell phone out) Rui: No way. I don't wanna call a girl I don't know. Soujirou: If you can't even call a girl on the phone, you have big problems. P.134 (Soujirou sticks the phone in Rui's face) Rui: I said no!! Yuuki: (from the earpiece) Hello? Hello-o?? Rui: Uh-- Rui: (holding the phone) Um... are you Makino's friend? Er........ Rui: Has anything unusual happened lately? Akira: (to Soujirou) Did something happen between you and her? Soujirou: Nothing in particular. Rui: Nothing out of the ordinary? Ah, ok, thanks. (Rui hangs up, and throws the phone at Soujirou's head resentfully) Akira: Rui........ don't end conversations so abruptly. [tell the person your name at least] Soujirou: I guess his mother isn't using the same technique this time. Akira: Makino's been gone for 2 days now... Maybe she doesn't have enough money to call back here. P.135 Rui: It looks like Tsukasa's withdrawal from school was for real too. Rui: I wonder if he'll come back? Rui: Well, as long as Makino's alright, it's ok I guess. (Tsukushi and Thomas sit on adjoining park benches, eating fast food) Thomas: Having brunch in a place like this really makes you feel like a New Yorker, huh? Thomas: Isn't Central Park pretty? Thomas: So, what do you want to do after this? We could go see the Statue of Liberty. P.136 Tsukushi: Wait a second! I didn't come here to sightsee...! (Thomas bites into his hamburger and stuffs the rest into his face, spilling out crumbs onto the ground) Tsukushi: Now that I think about it... Tsukushi: [what a pig...] Tsukushi: he was a bad-mannered foreigner back then too. Thomas: (luxuriously) That was delicious. Tsukushi: ........ Tsukushi: I don't have time for this.. Tsukushi: I thought you said you were going to take me to the Doumyouji's house?? Thomas: But I told you that's impossible... P.137 Thomas: Anyone would know where it is, but the security's so tight there that there's no way you'll get in. Thomas: Even if you did manage to break in, the armed guards would-- Thomas: (holding a finger out) BANG! Thomas: See? That's why it would be better if you gave up. Thomas: If you wait in Japan, he'll probably come back eventually. Thomas: So you might as well just enjoy your time here sightseeing. Tsukushi: Inside my tote bag is Tsukushi: my passport, a little bit of money, Tsukushi: my necklace, and the baseball I caught by chance. Tsukushi: Even if I was in Japan it would be the same. I wouldn't have anything. P.138 Tsukushi: I just came because I wanted to see him. ~Doumyouji: See you tomorrow. Tsukushi: I came to make him keep that promise... Tsukushi: Everyone has lended me so much strength. (Tsukushi squeezes her hamburger between her hands) Thomas: Tsukushi, you're crushing your hamburger. Tsukushi: Mister, I'll give this to you!! (Tsukushi holds the burger out to the old man sitting next to her) Tsukushi: Mister, am I wrong? I'm not wrong, am I? Thomas: Um... I don't think he understands you. (is she completely insane??) P.139 (Tsukushi grabs Thomas by the collar) Thomas: Uwah. Tsukushi: all you have to do is tell me the location and I'll do the rest myself. Tsukushi: Hurry up and spill it. Thomas: ........ It's nice to see you haven't changed, Tsukushi. {clap clap clap} P.140 old man: {clap clap clap} old man: Blah blah blah. Thomas: {cough} He says you're so spirited. Thomas: (holding his throat) He says you should take care of whatever you're worrying about in the same way. Tsukushi: Mister must be worrying about something too........ Tsukushi: He reminds me a little of my papa. I bet he's out of work. Tsukushi: (to the old man) Mister, "kiai", "kiai"!! (I didn't find "kiai" in the dictionary, but I imagine it means something like "keep up your spirits") old man: ["oh!"] "Ki-eye". Tsukushi: That's right!! "Kiai"! Tsukushi: We have to keep up our spirits in life, and do our best! old man: (waving) "Ki-eye". Thomas: ..... P.141 Thomas: You're really going? Tsukushi: I'm going. It's what I came here for. Tsukushi: If I don't work up my nerve, I might fall apart. Thomas: Ok, I'll go find a car. Tsukushi: The screw is turning, turning, turning. I have to meet the challenge, Tsukushi: so that I don't lose to my own frightened heart. P.142 (Tsukushi and Thomas arrive in front of the gates to the Doumyouji's NY estate) Tsukushi: So once you get away from Manhattan, there are actually woodsy places like this? Thomas: Most of the elite of New York live outside the city, and commute to the office by car. (Tsukushi eyes the two men in suits standing in front of the gates) Tsukushi: Inside that gate most likely is Doumyouji. Tsukushi: But, Tsukushi: what are all these people doing here? (Thomas' NY friends all loiter nearby, chatting excitedly) Thomas: They all just jumped in and said they wanted to come along. P.143 (the black guy with dreads says something and gestures to himself) Thomas: He says he'll go first. Tsukushi: Eh?! Wait! (the dreads guy tries talking to the guards, but get shoved out of the way) Thomas: That was a bust... (then the buxom girl struts forward, unzipping her jacket) Tsukushi: A seduction strategy? Thomas: You got it. (buxom girl is shoved away too) Tsukushi: ........ (the long-haired thief speaks up) Thomas: He says he's gonna try to pinch their keys. Tsukushi: (grabbing the young thief) Hyee, wait! They might open fire. Tsukushi: I'll go! P.144 Tsukushi: If I talk to them, they should understand. Tsukushi: After all, I'm a Japanese like the Doumyouji family. (Tsukushi approaches the guards) Tsukushi: S...scary. Tsukushi: Uh... "I am Doumyouji friend". Tsukushi: Er, "I want to meet--" Tsukushi: How do I say him?... "him". Tsukushi: "Please!!" Please let me inside. P.145 guard: "NO." Tsukushi: Oh no... after coming all this way, Tsukushi: what if I can't even get inside the house? (A car squeaks to a halt in front of the gate. The car door opens and a petite figure steps out.) voice: I figured you would be here. P.146 (Tsukushi stares) voice: Honestly, young lady, whether it's in Japan or abroad you're always doing the same outrageous things. voice: You should use that head to think a little more. (Tama stands/huddles before her) Tsukushi: Ta...Tama-sempai. Tsukushi: What are you doing here?! P.147 Tama: The young master is missing. Naturally, as the head of the servants, I've come to report it. (Tama sidles past Tsukushi) Tama: (to the guards) Hey, Americans, move out of the way. Tama: Open the gate. guard: Blah blah. Tama: What are you mumbling about?! Tama: Who do you think I am?! P.148 Tsukushi: Se-sempai, you might get thrown aside by these guys. Tsukushi: Be caref... (after much of cracking of bones, Tama abruptly stands up completely erect) Tama: I've served the Doumyouji household for over 60 years, so that makes me your senior. Tama: Now hurry up and open that gate!! P.149 (the gate opens) Tama: (to Tsukushi) What are you doing? Let's go. Tsukushi: Yeah... (Tsukushi looks back at Thomas and the others) Thomas: Good luck, Tsukushi! punk: "Chukuchi!!" (er, I guess "Chukuchi" is their Americam mispronounciation of "Tsukushi") punks: "Go! Go Chukuchi!!" P.150 Tsukushi: (smiling) Thanks, Tsukushi: I'm going. Tsukushi: I can hear everyone's voices. Tsukushi: I'm not alone. P.151 (she sees the faces of all her friends) Tsukushi: Everyone's supporting me. Tsukushi: I'm not fighting alone. (hmm, this part reminds me a lot of Sailor Moon's final battle with Queen Beryl, at the end of the first season...) P.152 (inside the gates) Tsukushi: Amazing... it's like a castle. Tama: It hasn't changed much since I last saw it, 20 years ago. Tama: You did a good job, coming this far. Tsukushi: I couldn't have done it without you. Tama: I heard from Tsubaki-sama that you're dating the young master again. Tama: I was so happy that I couldn't even sleep. Are you trying to do this old woman in? (Tsukushi doesn't know what to say) Tama: Oh, save that face for later. Tama: The mistress ought to be at the office right now, so go look for the young master first. Tsukushi: Okay. Tama: I'm going to go to the servants quarters to check out the situation. P.153 Tama: Go straight ahead and you'll reach the entrance. Tama: Well then, I'll see you later. Tsukushi: Okay! Tsukushi: When I see Doumyouji, what should I say? Tsukushi: I'm sure he'll be very surprised. Tsukushi: We'll still get to have our tomorrow, the two of us. (not sure about that last line...) (Tsukushi hears the sound of snipping coming from nearby) P.154 (she turns to the person clipping roses in a garden not far away) voice: My my, what an unusual visitor. P.155 (Doumyouji Kaede stands among the bushes in a white robe, holding a handful of roses in her arms) Kaede: You've got a lot of nerve to show your face here. P.156 Tsukushi: I've come to see Doumyouji. Tsukushi: Stand up straight. Tsukushi: Plant your feet firmly on the ground. Tsukushi: Where is he? P.157 Tsukushi: I won't lose. Tsukushi: Please let me see him! Tsukushi: I won't lose to those cold eyes! P.158 Tsukushi: A stinging red rose. Tsukushi: Against this rose-like woman, Tsukushi: I wonder if I can win? P.159 (Tsukushi and Kaede face off among the rose bushes) Tsukushi: So, now what? Tsukushi: Will she summon men to toss me out? Tsukushi: If I make a break for it, maybe I can make it into the house before that happens. P.160 Kaede: Follow me. Tsukushi: Eh? (Kaede starts walking) P.161 Tsukushi: Did she just say "follow me"? Tsukushi: Why? Tsukushi: I can't believe I'm getting to meet Doumyouji this easily... Tsukushi: No, it must be some sort of trap. P.162 (inside the house) Tsukushi: If there is a trap waiting for me in here, she won't get away with it. Tsukushi: I won't lose. (Kaede hands the handful of roses to a servant) Tsukushi: Hey! Just how far do you plan to take me?? (Kaede opens the door to a room) P.163 Kaede: After you. Tsukushi: Uh, sure... (Tsukushi walks into the room, and the door slams behind her) Tsukushi: Eh?! What's the big idea?! Tsukushi: Why did she leave me in here, all alone? Tsukushi: (wandering around) Eh? Eh? What is this? (the door opens again behind her) P.164 (and Doumyouji enters) P.165 Tsukushi: Ah... Tsukushi: I was able to see him, Tsukushi: this simply. Tsukushi: No way. Tsukushi: I'm so overwhelmed that the words won't come out... Doumyouji: What did you come here for? P.166 Tsukushi: ...... Huh? Tsukushi: What do you mean......? Tsukushi: I came here to get you of cour-- Doumyouji: I'm not going back. Tsukushi: Doumyouji? Tsukushi: W-wait a minute. What are you saying? Tsukushi: Oh, I get it. She said something to you, right? Doumyouji: This has nothing to do with the old witch. P.167 Doumyouji: It's what I've decided. Doumyouji: I'm staying here. Doumyouji: Dropping out of school was also of my own free will. Doumyouji: Go home. P.168 Tsukushi: Why? Doumyouji: I'll call for a car. Get in it and go. Tsukushi: Why are you saying these things? (his turns his back to her) Tsukushi: Doumyouji. P.169 Tsukushi: Look me in the eye! Tsukushi: You can't expect me to just accept thi-- (he walks out the door, and slams it behind him) ~Doumyouji: Makino, you came all this way?? ~Doumyouji: Let's leave right away. I'm not kidding. ~Doumyouji: Hurry, P.170 ~Doumyouji: let's go home to Japan. (Tsukushi's face is agape, as what she expected Doumyouji to say plays through her mind) P.171 (out on the grounds in front of the house) Tama: Ah, there you are! Tama: Where are you going? Did you already meet with the young master?! Tsukushi: I got to see him, so I'm going now. Tsukushi: But first I thought I might do some sightseeing while I'm in New York. Tama: Sightseeing...? Tama: Why are you acting so nonchalant? P.172 Tsukushi: Maybe I'll go to that park in Manhattan that I've seen so many times on TV. Tama: Ah, wait! Wait you! (Tsukushi runs down the street without looking back) Tama: What is that child thinking......? (Tama becomes aware of another presence, and looks up at the person standing close by) Tama: Ah. You are-- P.173 (back inside the house) (Doumyouji opens the door to the room again) Doumyouji: Makino, the car...... (he finds it empty) Doumyouji: Makino? (Kaede appears in the doorway) Kaede: It appears that she already left. Kaede: And it seems that you've finally come to an understanding. P.174 Doumyouji: Shut up! Doumyouji: Are you satisfied now? Do you still call yourself a mother?! Doumyouji: I feel Doumyouji: like throwing up. P.175 Kaede: Before being my son, you are the heir to the Doumyouji household. Kaede: Stop speaking of such petty things. (the buildings of Manhattan cut a jagged line across the night sky) ~Doumyouji: Go home. P.176 (Tsukushi stands in front of a metal gate, looking out over the water) Tsukushi: It's cold... (she clutches her upper arm with one hand) Tsukushi: What did I come here for...? Tsukushi: I feel the tension more, being alone. Tsukushi: I really am... Tsukushi: a fool. (someone stands next to the gate nearby) P.177 voice: It certainly was foolish to come to this climate wearing only one sweater. (she looks up to find Rui smiling at her) P.178 Tsukushi: ... Hanazawa Rui. Rui: I also like to come here when I'm in New York. Rui: I guess it's a little like the Eitoku emergency stairs for me. Tsukushi: But why...? Th...this is a surprise. Rui: I went to Tsukasa's house a little while ago, and that old woman with a name like a cat told me you'd gone this way. Rui: Did you get to see him? Tsukasa, I mean. (Tsukushi quickly puts on her cover-up-your-emotions smile) Tsukushi: Uhuh. P.179 Tsukushi: I thought she was going to lead me to a dungeon or something, so I was really shocked when she actually let me see him without any struggle. Rui: So? What are you doing out here all alone then? Tsukushi: Well... that is, Tsukushi: this place has been shown in a lot of movies, right? I thought I might as well come see it while I'm here. Tsukushi: The Manhattan scenery is really beautiful at night. Tsukushi: Just getting to see this makes me glad I came. ~Doumyouji: It has nothing to do with the old bag. ~Doumyouji: This is my own free will. P.180 ~Doumyouji: What the did you come here for? Tsukushi: It looks like he'll be living over here from now on. Tsukushi: I wish he had just told me that from the beginning, so I wouldn't have had to come all this way. Tsukushi: His eyes were so cold. Tsukushi: I came here with everyone's support, Tsukushi: He was like a complete stranger. (Tsukushi hands tremble as they grip the metal rail) Tsukushi: so full of myself. P.181 Tsukushi: Oh, what about you Hanazawa Rui? Why did you come? Tsukushi: It really is a surprise. Rui: I came because I was worried about you. P.182 Rui: I was worried that you might be off crying somewhere. (hearing this, Tsukushi can't hold back her tears anymore) Tsukushi: I understand that he must have had some reason, but Tsukushi: that one moment was enough to break my heart. P.183 (the tears stream down her face, as Rui pulls her into his arms and holds her against his chest) Tsukushi: I came all this way because I wanted to see him. Tsukushi: That was all.
