Original subtitles

It's a pretty serious walk up to the school building.

Doesn't it just feel like "The Fujigaya"?

What's all this "The" business?

Please just grin and bear it for one day, Shinobu.

I haven't put on a suit since my college entrance ceremony.

Reception Desk

Oh, there she is. Achan!

Huh, she vanished...

What's wrong?

Can I see your invitation please.

Oh, right.

Huh?

Hello.

If it isn't Fumi-chan!

Do you know her?

It's Achan's parents and older brother.

Oh, Achan's...

You all go to Matsuoka, don't you? Why are you here?

We're friends with Achan, so we came here to help.

Yup, we're here to help Achan.

Isn't that right, Achan?

What? She's back there?

If you're not doing anything, show us the inside of the school building.

How dare you...

Relax, relax.

Hey, where'd Sugimoto go?

The Little Prince is crying, so she's consoling her.

What, is she trying to make her own fanclub in the elementary school now?

Big sis, what role are you playing?

Me? Umm... A man who is troubled.

Are you in trouble?

No, it's more like he causes trouble for everyone else.

Is he a bad guy?

It's kinda hard to say.

We don't know where he came from or what things he has done.

You don't know any of it?

That's right. The main character of the story always seems lonely.

Over here! Hurry!

Catch you later.

Pardon me. Is Sugimoto-sempai in?

Sorry, she's not back yet.

Our prince has a habit of wandering about.

Heathcliff this, Heathcliff that... When am I gonna get some love?

Show some class, Edgar.

But you have me, your sister, Isabella!

You're no good either. What kind of sister are you to betray me?

That's why you end up with such misfortune.

But Heath's better than Edgar.

You're the type to be tricked by some bad guy, you know that.

Wow. How many bouquets is that?

I've lost count!

That's for the elementary school kids.

How'd that get mixed in there?

Shall I sign for our entire family?

Oh, yes, right here.

I'm gonna bring this over to the elementary students.

Yeah? Thanks a ton.

Fumi.

Sempai.

Shouldn't you be... in the auditorium?

I paid the elementary kids a visit.

What about you, Fumi?

I was bringing this to them.

We almost walked right by each other... But we didn't!

Yes, something feels special about it.

Fate is a special thing.

It truly is.

Are you going to watch the play from the wing?

I'm going to watch with the audience, since it's the main performance.

OK.

Come and see me the minute it's over!

I will.

Let's order cake.

What are you getting, Achan?

I'm good. I have to get out of here anyway.

Oh, you can stay for a few minutes.

So, what do you recommend?

Oh, wow, so Wuthering Heights isn't a geographical location.

It's the name of a manor, duh.

Gimme a break. How the heck would I know that?

Wuthering Heights... Heathcliff is absolutely fantastic.

You know of it, Mom?

I read it when I was a student.

Wuthering Heights is a play based in England around the turn of the 19th century, right?

Yep. They say the moors in Yorkshire, in northern England, are known for the strong storms.

Oh, a suspense story.

What are you talking about?

It's a love tragedy between two childhood friends named Heathcliff and Catherine.

They love each other but they can't get married in the end. Right?

Right?

Not sure I'm gonna get the story.

I have to go.

Aren't the high schoolers going on last?

There's prep work to do!

The curtains will be raising shortly.

Please move to your seats.

Where the heck did Manjome-san go?

Look at these magnificent thorns.

Let them come, those tigers with their claws.

There are no tigers on my planet.

And besides, tigers don't eat weeds.

I am not a weed.

Forgive me...

Don't you wish Achan could have been in this one?

Shinobu!

I loved her, I did. But I came to see it'd be painful to be together.

Farewell!

Farewell.

I'm leaving this planet.

Oh. Farewell.

Sugimoto-sempai

Which ribbon would you like on it?

Umm... OK, the light blue one, please.

All right. Light blue it is.

And yet what they're looking for

could be found in a single rose, or a little water...

But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.

Little Women

Geez, where were you?

Okudaira-san.

Oh, hi.

Is Kyoko here?

Oh, Ikumi-san is-

Ko-chan! You're here.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

You do realize you're my fiancee, yes?

You're like a good older brother.

Little Women is starting!

OK!

Finally, huh?

I'm so nervous!

I'll take you home after the play, since I drove here.

Sorry, there's a wrap meeting afterwards.

You don't have to wait for me.

Bye.

I'll wait!

Beth, don't die!

Oh, Lord, save Beth! I promise I'll never complain again!

I'll serve you forever, God!

Sorry, this is coming apart here.

I'll fix it.

Hmm...

Can you make it a little more wild?

Trust me, it's already pretty wild.

Help me, Achan. Use your hands and mess it up.

What?! Me?!

And massage my scalp while you're at it.

Ah, that feels great.

This relaxes me all the way to my soul.

Sempai?

I may hide it well, but I'm pretty nervous.

Thank you.

D-Don't mention it.

She's a feisty one, even when it doesn't involve Fumi.

Are you guys ready to go?

The Secondary School Presents "Wuthering Heights"

The Secondary School Presents "Wuthering Heights"

Have I visited that manor?

Indeed I have.

'Tis a place that reeks so much of bloodshed that you cannot even breathe.

Any sanctity of family has been lost for all eternity.

What happened there, you ask?

Oh, I know it all too well.

All about that manor.

All about Wuthering Heights!

The manor is owned by the Earnshaw family.

As the mother had long passed away,

I cared for the two children there, as their nanny.

One day, the master of the house

brought back a young boy in rags and of no blood relation.

Did you hear them scream?

Yeah.

This is amazing.

It's like watching a Takarazuka production.

Though the others in the manor were at a loss at how to deal with him,

the young daughter, Catherine, was the one person who opened her heart to him.

Your name is Heathcliff?

Yes. The master gave me that name.

Heathcliff... A cliff of heath.

You can weather any storm that comes, bravely standing in the frigid cold.

As my magnificent name says!

Catherine loved Heathcliff.

And Heathcliff, too, loved Catherine.

Hindley!

My home has been a mess ever since you walked through the door!

Why does Father treat you with such favour?!

I'll run you out of here!

Hindley, the older brother, despised Heathcliff with a passion.

He believed Heathcliff to have stolen his father's love and affection.

Ow...

My hair is stuck!

I'll get it out for you.

Achan.

Yes, this is your next wardrobe.

Didn't you forget something?

Huh?

Ah, the hatchet!

I'll be right back!

You don't have to rush.

Catherine would have thoughts of trying to feign friendliness when she got older,

but ultimately she became a capricious daughter, plagued by fits of rage.

Music from dinner parties at a neighbouring manor often reached Wuthering Heights.

The lone son of that home, Edgar Linton, fell in love with Catherine.

Nelly! What should I do?

What is it, Young Mistress?

You can't tell anyone.

Edgar proposed to me...

And I accepted.

You agreed to it?

Yes.

But was that the right thing to do?

You already gave him your answer, did you not?

It's too late to change your mind now.

Answer my question, Nelly!

Why are you even hesitating? You can leave this desolate manor and join their splendid household.

It's not too tight?

You're an admirable girl too, Kyoko.

Where is the problem with that?{in bg}

Even though it never pays off, right?

I love Edgar.

Ah... Have I made the wrong choice?

Are you worried about Heathcliff?{in bg}

What do you think... about Catherine?

Heathcliff?{in bg}

Huh?

Heathcliff will indeed be sad once he gets word of your marriage.

Why? We're going to be together forever!

He'll lose his feelings of love and friendship,{in bg}

Kawasaki-sempai is really quite the thespian.

I'm not asking about her.

if you become a member of the Linton household.{in bg}

Huh?

You're wrong, Nelly! Wrong!

Catherine.

Oh, I think she's an imposition.

The two of us will never be apart!{in bg}

No matter what happens, nothing will pull us apart.

But, umm... I'm envious.

She's selfish but uninhibited. And people forgive her for it.

We'll never be apart, even if someone ordered us to!

The one in my heart is Heathcliff!

As long as I have him, I can go on living!

Everyone's selfish.

Heathcliff is me and I am Heathcliff!

I don't like her.

Catherine!

You're cruel and insincere!

How can you betray your own heart?

Why did you leave me?

You left me and went off someplace too.

But, I will forgive you.

So please, forgive me.

What a selfish woman.

Catherine! Live, damn it!

Ah, a hill of heath... I can see it.

Wait for me, Heathcliff!

Catherine...

Catherine!

I killed you.

So please, haunt me!

I don't care what form you take!

Don't... Don't leave me alone!

Give another large round of applause for the members of the secondary school.

That was great.

It really was!

Great work out there, gals.

Kagami-sensei!

Sensei!

You can't just show up out of nowhere with a bouquet of flowers.

Did you even watch the play?

Of course I did. You all looked incredible.

You did great. Good job, good job.

Geez, like I'm a little girl.

Oh, Sensei...

Sugimoto, you too.

You were great out there.

Damn right, she was. She deserves a reward.

Thank you.

Yes.

Well done.

Holy crap! Sugimoto's crying!

Sugimoto-sempai...

You saw something weird about me.

It's not weird at all.

It is.

I hate it.

Sempai...

I was thinking about this earlier.

You've got someone else... Besides me...

Someone that you like, and...

Do you wanna know?

I don't wanna know. But it's eating me up inside.

It's in the past now.

OK.

I was in love, me alone,

and that's all there was to it.

I wonder if I'm betraying you somehow.

Of course not!

Don't say that.

I'm gonna be running the basketball team for the first time in a while tomorrow.

Wanna come and watch?

Sure.

Let's go home, Fumi.

Sure.

Wuthering Heights (Part Two)

See you next time.
