                  You say an evil spirit will come to Ataru?

                                    CHERRY
           It's true, your son will be possessed by an evil spirit.

                                     ATARU
                       Stop joking around! Who are you?

                             My name is Sakuranbo.
                 The kanji for this means ``deranged priest'',
                       but it can also mean ``cherry''.
                                 I'm a priest.

                                     ATARU
                   Your face is pretty much an evil spirit.

                                    CHERRY
               Actually, haven't you been taken by the invaders?

                               Look at the sky.
                It's proof that the evil spirit is approaching.

                                     ATARU
                          It's just a power failure.

                                    No, no!
                                Absolutely not!

                                    SHINOBU
                         At any rate, let go of Ataru!

                                      LUM
                       Darling's child is inside of me!

                                    SHINOBU
                      Lum, what did you say just now...?

                                      LUM
                           Surprised you, didn't I!
                                 I'm PREGNANT!

                                    SHINOBU
                     Ataru, what kind of person are you...

                                     ATARU
                                  It's a lie!

                                    SHINOBU
                                  Shameless!
                       What in the world have you done?!

                                     ATARU
                        Stop the vulgar fantasizing...!

                                      TEN
                    Well, Lum HAS been here three months...

                                      REI
                                    Yargh!

                                      TV
                         Observe on the TV, everyone!
                              It's an emergency!
                            A monster has appeared!

                                    TV MAN
                           This is not an SF movie.
          The police department's demon task force can be seen also.
        Oh, this time the self-defense forces have come up in support.

                                      REI
           Even if I run amuck, it'll just be a waste of tax money.
                        How about if we duel like this?

                                      REI
                                     Hmph!

                                      LUM
                            He's proposing a duel.
              If you don't reply, he'll shoot you to death here.
                         Darling, fight to protect me!

                                    SHINOBU
                               Ataru, don't die.

                                      LUM
                            Darling, don't give up!

                                     ATARU
                              It's too late now.
       If I do like this, I can't do anything but leave my fate to the gods.

                                    MOTHER
                                     Dear!
                               Don't abandon me.
                                Don't go away.

                                    FATHER
                                 Oh, shut up!
                    You're abandoning me for a younger man.
                                 Sniff, sniff.
                  The blue sky today is obscured by my tears.

                                     WOMAN
                    Hey, Missus, your son is having a duel.

                                    MOTHER
                                A duel, is it?

                                    FATHER
                                  M - Mother!

                                    MOTHER
                              Oh, Rei, wonderful!
                                  Fight hard!

                                    MOTHER
                                  Fight, Rei!

                                      LUM
                                     Yeah!
                              Rei changed shape!
                                Darling's won!!

                                      LUM
                                   Darling!

                                    SHINOBU
                                   Ataru...

                                      LUM
                      He fought to protect me, after all.

                                    SHINOBU
                        He didn't fight for your sake!

                                    MOTHER
                   Turn back into the handsome Rei quickly.

                                    FATHER
                   You like a bull better than you like me?!

                                      LUM
                    Darling, you fought for me, didn't you?

                                     ATARU
                          You're completely mistaken.
                I've got a personality that's easily possessed.
                                   Save me!

                                      END
