DIRECTOR: Mashita Kouichi TAILOR Let's go! EPISODE 2: Hey! The happy retirement life! DOM Thank you for volunteering for the mission. SPY (UGLY) We're ready to lay down our lives for the glory of the Rarlgon Empire. DOM I believe both of you are familiar with this particular warrior who was one of the most prominent figures in the United Planets Space Force. SPY (UGLY) That's Admiral Hanner. DOM Correct. We encountered him in several engagements in remote sectors of the galaxy. Even we can't ignore his feats of heroism in those battles. SPY (HANDSOME) I heard that he retired... DOM Yes. As you can see, he is living on a pension. SPY (HANDSOME) How pitiful....I can't believe an ex-Admiral is living like that... DOM To prepare for the war with us, the United Planets Space Force is trying desperately to increase their military strength. But what's important is ther will to fight. DOM The twilight of a warrior's life is full of nothing but misery. You are to spread this message among the people of the United Planets. Understood? SERGEANT I got one. TAILOR Oops! Please wait. There. SIGN: United Planets Space Force Mutual Aid Association Pension Department SERGEANT You're the one who've been having good luck all the time. Come on, this is just a game to kill some time. SERGEANT You really are a tough fellow to deal with. TAILOR You're so generous. You must have been popular among girls when you were young. SERGEANT How did you know that? TAILOR Your brilliant tactics and generosity..they're not something an ordinary person can imitate. SERGEANT Really? TAILOR So please wait. SERGEANT Sure. SERGEANT What is it? All of a sudden... COMPUTER Retired admiral Roberto J. Hanner. Payment couldn't be delivered due to change in address. Please confirm his new address immediately. TAILOR Hmm...retired admiral? SERGEANT It can wait until after lunch. SERGEANT Tailor, what are you going to do? TAILOR Hmm... TAILOR Hmm...retired Admiral Hanner? EMI/YUMI Please open your mouth. EMI/YUMI How was it, father? Was it too hot? HANNER I'm really sorry for being such a burden on you. EMI/YUMI Please don't say that. HANNER If I had been killed in the line of duty, two of you could be living in luxury with the pension... EMI/YUMI Don't worry. We're happy as long as you're with us. YURIKO Emi, Yumi. I'm really sorry. YURIKO I already informed them of the change of address but you know what those bureaucrats are like. YURIKO As soon as I return to HQ, I'll make sure that the pension is delivered to this address. EMI/YUMI Yuriko, thank you for your constant concern for our welfare. YURIKO Don't mention it. Aren't we childhood friends? YURIKO How can they treat your father like this when there's no one who contributed to the military more than he did? I don't know what's going on in the minds of those United Planets government officials... EMI/YUMI Welcome to our home. EMI/YUMI May we have your name? YURIKO Universal Peace Revolutionism Front? What's that? YURIKO Watch out! OPERATOR Lt. Yamamoto. I'm really sorry to interrupt your vacation but could you please come to the office immediately? %SLOGAN: NO MORE WAR! %SLOGAN: BRING PEACE AND LOVE TO THE UNIVERSE SPY (UGLY) We're the comrades of the glorious Universal Peace Revolutionism Front, whose mission is to deliver the message of universal love! SPY (UGLY) Dear comrades of the United Planets! Please give up this meaningless war! POLICE Please listen. Free the hostage and come out immediately. What are your demands? SPY (UGLY) Stop the war! That's our only demand! SPY (UGLY) Look! He was once called the Hero of Space but when he outlived his usefulness, the military discarded him like.. like so much garbage! POLICE That's really cruel. SPY (UGLY) Immediately stop the military recruitment of civilians and dissolve the United Planets Space Force. Otherwise we can't guarantee the lives of the hostages. POLICE That's...! POLICE Sorry for interrupting your vacation, Lt. Yamamoto. YAMAMOTO Forget it. How many hostages are there? POLICE Retired admiral Roberto J. Hanner, his two daughters and their friend, Lt. Commander Yuriko Star. A total of four. YAMAMOTO So what are their demands? POLICE The dissolution of the Space Force and abandoning the war. YAMAMOTO But why didn't you storm the building? POLICE We dare not approach them, because they have a highly destructive bomb. YAMAMOTO I see. YAMAMOTO They gotta have a blind spot somewhere. YAMAMOTO What's that thing on the roof? POLICE Lieutenant, it's a message from HQ. YAMAMOTO I see. Put it on the main monitor. MIFUNE Who's in charge? YAMAMOTO Your Excellency Admiral Mifune. SPY (UGLY) Do you understand? Love is the most important thing in the universe. Love is everything! The truth lies in realizing that there is love inside your heart! TAILOR What's going on? WOMAN Terrorists are holding hostages in the house of a retired United Planets Space Force admiral. TAILOR Eh? TAILOR Retired admiral? MIFUNE Do you understand? Base your decision on common sense and try to safely rescue the hostages as soon as possible. YAMAMOTO Yes, sir. I understand. MIFUNE Now is a very important time before a war with the Rarlgon Empire. FUJI Admiral Mifune, you're so lenient! MIFUNE Fuji! FUJI Are you going to give up the war to free the hostage? Isn't it obvious that Our United Planets will become a colony of the Rarlgon Empire the moment we do? MIFUNE Shut up! MIFUNE You don't give a damn about the hostages, do you? FUJI Then are you going to sacrifice the citizens of the United Planets to save 5 hostages? MIFUNE I never said that! MIFUNE/FUJI Understood? I'll leave the rest to you. YAMAMOTO Hey, you over there. YAMAMOTO Where are you going? TAILOR Don't worry. I'm just going to deliver Admiral Hanner's pension check. YAMAMOTO Don't you know what the hell is going on? TAILOR Lieutenant, I really feel sorry for you. Holding hostages is awfully unsportsmanlike of them! TAILOR Our Space Force is way better than that! Although payments get delayed sometimes, they'll be delivered eventually without fail. POLICE This is the layout of Admiral Hanner's apartment. YAMAMOTO Good. YAMAMOTO Run simulations based on this. POLICE Yes, sir. TAILOR So I, Justy Ueki Tailor, will get going. YAMAMOTO Hey, wait! YAMAMOTO Pension Department? Is that some kind of cryptic code? YAMAMOTO Can he be a secret agent that Admiral Mifune sent? TAILOR I'm just going there to deliver the pension check. YAMAMOTO Tailor, I'm depending on you. SPY (UGLY) Late! How long are they going to make us wait? YURIKO No matter how long you wait, they are not going to accept your ridiculous demand to dissolve the military. SPY (UGLY) What? YURIKO How can you expect to them to do that in this crucial period before a war? YURIKO You guys are spies from the Rarlgon Empire, aren't you? YURIKO Whether you're spies or not, you guys must be lowly underlings, to use such cowardly means. SPY (UGLY) Lowly underlings? Damn you! SPY (HANDSOME) Calm down. SPY (UGLY) How can you expect me to calm down after being insulted like that?! YURIKO Now's the time! EMI/YUMI But our father... YURIKO Although he may be old, Admiral Hanner is still a warrior! YURIKO So please hurry. EMI/YUMI Yuriko. YURIKO Please go! Hurry! SPY (HANDSOME) That's far enough. Got it? Everyone stay right where you are. TAILOR Good afternoon! I'm Justy Ueki Tailor of the United Planets Space Force. YURIKO The Space Force! EMI/YUMI You came to rescue us! TAILOR Yes. Tailor of the United Planets Space Force is right here! EYE CATCH TAILOR I came here to deliver the delayed pension check. YURIKO Pension? TAILOR I'm very sorry to interrupt you but please understand that I have a job to do. Please forgive me. TAILOR Excuse me. TAILOR Your Excellency, please pull yourself together. TAILOR I'll be here to play Go or Shogi with you anytime. TAILOR Your Excellency, then please excuse me. SPY (UGLY) Wait a minute. TAILOR But I have other things to attend to after this... TAILOR Huh? TAILOR Whoa! TAILOR Whoa! SPY (UGLY) Your life or your schedule? Your choice! TAILOR Well, engagements are made to be broken... TAILOR Good afternoon. I'm Tailor. TAILOR It looks like you got yourselves into quite a mess. But fear not, for I'm here! Leave the matter to me and relax. YURIKO Hey, you! TAILOR Excuse me. Don't you need to put handcuffs on me? If you don't have one, I'd like to share hers. TAILOR Eh? You do? It's OK. That would be a terrible waste. We shouldn't waste limited resources available to us. YURIKO What the hell is he? YAMAMOTO He should have contacted us by now. YAMAMOTO Can it be that he failed? POLICE Lieutenant, there's activity on the outside monitor. YAMAMOTO Put it on the screen. SPY (UGLY) How generous of you to give us another hostage. I guess the United Planets Space Force has too many human resources on its hands. TAILOR No, that's not true. TAILOR They are doing flashy commercials for recruitment these days. YAMAMOTO What? TAILOR I can't understand why people don't want to join the military. TAILOR When there is no easier job... SPY (UGLY) Anyway, we'll wait for another hour. If we don't get any replies by then, we'll kill the hostages. MIFUNE Lt. Yamamoto, who was that idiot? YAMAMOTO Isn't he a special agent that you have sent? MIFUNE You moron! I didn't send him! YAMAMOTO Eh? Then he is... [TAILOR: I'm going there to just deliver the pension...] YAMAMOTO That asshole! YURIKO What's your real purpose in coming here? TAILOR Eh? I told you that I came here just to deliver Admiral Hanner's pension check. EMI/YUMI How kind of you! TAILOR Thank you. I'm happy to hear that. YURIKO Hey, do you... TAILOR But being able to meet a woman like you in a place like this fills my heart with joy. TAILOR May I have your name? YURIKO Eh? YURIKO Yuriko. Yuriko Star. I'm a Lt. Commander. SPY (HANDSOME) Shut up! SPY (HANDSOME) I told you not to talk without our permission! YURIKO Pick on someone your own size! TAILOR A terrorist who has devoted his life to the revolution shouldn't behave like a lewd salary man. SPY (HANDSOME) I shouldn't? YURIKO Yumi, I'm sorry. TAILOR You dropped this. SPY (UGLY) Oh, thanks. YURIKO You! Why did you give the gun back to him? TAILOR But shouldn't I return a lost article to its proper owner? YURIKO This isn't the place for that! SPY (HANDSOME) Shut up! How many times do you have to defy us? SPY (HANDSOME) If you do that again, we'll kill you. EMI/YUMI Wow! He's so cool. TAILOR He is incredibly handsome... YAMAMOTO We have no choice but to attack them from this air duct. YAMAMOTO Organize a storming party immediately! We'll use gas bombs. FUJI Lt. Yamamoto, that's too mild. Do you want to make the United Planets a colony of the Rarlgon? MIFUNE We should be careful not to hurt the civilians in the process. FUJI Blast'em with a missile and they'll surrender. MIFUNE What about the hostages? FUJI Do you want to sacrifice all of mankind for 5 people? MIFUNE But... FUJI I don't care! An attack will teach them a lesson! MIFUNE No, you shouldn't! YAMAMOTO Should I do it or not? EMI/YUMI Wonderful! You're so beautiful! SPY (HANDSOME) A warrior shouldn't be concerned with his looks. That's the mark of a real man. TAILOR No. A man should have good looks. TAILOR I can't understand why someone with such good looks didn't become a model or a movie star. TAILOR Look at the graceful way you carry yourself. You must be looking at the mirror for at least an hour every morning. SPY (HANDSOME) No. TAILOR Hmm...strange. Otherwise you wouldn't look this cool. SPY (HANDSOME) Why would I look at the mirror? SPY (UGLY) Don't be fooled by their words! TAILOR Well, well. Please wait a minute. TAILOR If you are going to get killed anyway, you want to be killed by the handsome one, right? EMI/YUMI That's right. EMI/YUMI I want to get killed by him, too. SPY (HANDSOME) I'm troubled. EMI/YUMI We can forgive whatever a beautiful person may do. EMI/YUMI If I can be strangled to death by your soft and graceful fingers, that would be my greatest satisfaction. SPY (UGLY) Good. If you want to die that badly, I'll kill you. EMI/YUMI Shut up! If you make noises, we won't feed you. SPY (UGLY) Eh? Feed me? EMI/YUMI Who do you think you are? A man should have good looks but you don't. EMI/YUMI Ugly men don't exist in 'our' universe. Even if they do, they aren't real men and therefore they should be considered subhuman. TAILOR That's too harsh. TAILOR At least you should have told him what's wrong with him, like his short and bandy legs. EMI/YUMI But, still the face is what makes the man. YAMAMOTO I can't allow the United Planets to become a colony of the Rarlgon. YAMAMOTO I have no choice. I don't... EMI/YUMI It fits so well on you, as expected. SPY (HANDSOME) I see. EMI/YUMI The more you polish yourself, the better you look. SPY (HANDSOME) Ah.. now I understand the effect of make-up. SPY (UGLY) Don't let them trick you! A man's greatest possession is his heart! His guts! His soul! and his spirit! COMPUTER Enemy missiles have locked on. Take shelter immediately. YURIKO What? We're still inside! COMPUTER Enemy missile target lock is confirmed. They will fire in 3 minutes. SPY (UGLY) I guess they abandoned you. TAILOR We've been abandoned. YURIKO Hey, unless you act quickly, you guys will get killed, too. OR do you want to die here? TAILOR That's right. Regardless of his or her looks, everyone has the right to live. SPY (UGLY) You bastard! Are you still spewing out that shit?! TAILOR "A man's greatest possession is his heart! His guts! His soul! and his spirit!", right? SPY (UGLY) It's no use trying to flatter me now. TAILOR That's not true. I'm saying this from my heart. TAILOR Think about the speech you made. TAILOR A wimp without guts could not have delivered such a speech. TAILOR A man should have a pure heart above anything else. The beautiful heart, that's the symbol of human love! TAILOR But other people don't understand your pure heart. People are deluded by your looks and can't see the truth hidden under your ugly face. SPY (UGLY) You're right. Nobody understands me. YURIKO We don't have the time for this idle chit-chat. Unless we take shelter immediately... SPY (UGLY) No. There is no need for that. SPY (UGLY) Are you crying? TAILOR You really have a pure heart. SPY (UGLY) I'm not crying. I'm moved to tears! Even a man cries when he's moved. SPY (UGLY) For the first time in my life, I've met a person who understands my heart. YURIKO Then let's throw away that bomb and go home. SPY (UGLY) No. I won't be able to be moved like this ever again. Nor will I be able to another person who understands me. So everyone, please die with me. SPY (UGLY) Please, die with me. We're all abandoned ones. Let's die together with this bomb. TAILOR Even if you say so...I'm in trouble. Hey, Yuriko-san. YURIKO Don't call me Yuriko! I'm not your friend! Things have only gotten worse since you came here! YURIKO Leave the matter to me and relax? Don't be ridiculous! YURIKO I have so many things to do...Why do I have to die in a place like this?. YURIKO Give me back my youth. TAILOR I can't give you back your youth but you can still slug me. YURIKO Is it really OK with you? I'm gonna slug you. TAILOR Please. Be my guest. YURIKO I'm going to slug you real hard. I mean it. YAMAMOTO Good. 15 seconds to fire. YURIKO TAKE THIS! SPY (UGLY) Goddamn! I can't even die? TAILOR Don't be silly. Why should you die? TAILOR As long as you're still alive, good things will happen someday. TAILOR You might become a movie star someday. Anyway, it would be no fun if everyone in the world was handsome. TAILOR Who knows? Someday your face might get popular among women. TAILOR It's better to have an ugly face and a pure heart than an pretty face and an ugly heart. TAILOR Oh dear. YAMAMOTO Someone... give me a status report. DOM So "Justy Ueki Tailor" was the last thing we heard from them. DOM'S AID Yes, sir. DOM What kind of man is he? He might be worth looking into. YAMAMOTO What the hell happened? TAILOR Lieutenant! TAILOR Sorry for your trouble. YAMAMOTO But I think something fell on me... TAILOR Don't worry. All the hostages are safe. YURIKO Tailor, you said that you are Private Justy Ueki Tailor, right? TAILOR Yes. YURIKO I won't ask you to give my youth back but I can still slug you, can't I? TAILOR Eh? How come? TAILOR OUCH!!!! YAMAMOTO Who the hell is he? PREVIEW The captain, he is a father to his crewmen. The captain, he is the king of his ship. The captain...that's Tailor's new title.
