| Episode 1: Fooly Cooly
Mamimi: Legs spread same width as the shoulders, body tight, then hit the ball like your defeating the enemy. Here the pinky finger is the key. Then you just hit hit hit kaking-bingo!
Naota: What are you Talking about?
Mamimi: He who conquers the left side conquers the world chief. (swing) Setting the parameters … that’s really the hard part.
Naota: Are you talking about a video game?
Mamimi: Hmmm? . . . Takun what are you doing?
Naota: Homework.
Mamimi: Then why don’t you do it at home?
Naota: It’s not cool.
Mamimi: You can do my homework too if you want huh?
Naota: Huh? Your hands are upside down.
Mamimi: (tosses bat around) You should play baseball too Takun. Why do you always carry around a bat?
Naota: Why do you always hang around here by the river?
Mamimi: Because you know . . . Huh? Now why was it?
Naota: You’re in a good mode. (bat drops) You smell like cigarettes. The strong ones.
Mamimi: I haven’t been smoking
Naota: Mamimi, why do you always do this?
Mamimi: Ear lobs.
Naota: Hmm? Owe
Mamimi: If I don’t do it I’ll over flow.
Naota: What do you mean? What’ll happen?
Mamimi: Probably, something amazing.
Naota: Nothing amazing happens here, everything is ordinary. A huge factory that can be seen from our town, the Medical Mechanica plant. All the adults got excited when it came here, like it was really a big thing. (steam) The white steam that billows out every day at the same time, it looked to me like smoke that signified some kind of omen. Smoke that spreads out and covers everything.
(Vespa engine idling. plastic bag ruffling. soda dispenser drops can. Mamimi opens it and drinks)
Naota: You know I don’t like sour drinks
Mamimi: Ahhh. Huh? Oh look a mark, wow. How about a Band-Aid? Here
Naota: What?
Mamimi: It’s yours isn’t it? There’s more than half left chief.
(airplane flies overhead. Mamimi walks away. Naoto throws the can)
Naota: You know what? My brother, in the U.S.
(Vespa approaches. base guitar hits the ground)
Haruko: All right! Lunchtime!
(wheel hits can. Vespa hits Naoto)
Mamimi: Already?
(click. Naota bat and crash into ground. Vespa tires screech)
Mamimi: Takun!
Haruko: Stop!
Mamimi: Huh?
Haruko: Native girl must stop! Taro-kun just hit his head so you can’t move him yet understand?
Mamimi: But he isn’t Taro-kun.
Haruko: Hes dead! This young boy is completely dead, just as Taro would be.
Mamimi: But hes not Taro like I said.
(Haruko and Mamimi talk at the same time)
Haruko: Oh I killed him, I finally find the S.O.B. and I killed him. I didn’t mean to it was an accident, kind of. Ah lets face it I definitely totally killed him, just like that Bang! No more like bong, kablam or kunga ka-splat! yea yea yea . . .
Mamimi: his name is Naota. I call him Takun though, it’s kind of cute don’t you think?
Haruko: Come back to life!
Mamimi: Ahhh!
Haruko: Mu-chu!
Mamimi: Wah!
Haruko: Those slow motion scenes are really tuff huh?
Mamimi: Yeah you have to hold your breath until they cut.
Haruko: You can get cramps from that you know?
Naota: What? I thought it was a special effect, your doing the slow motion?
Haruko: Ah! All right! And Taro-kun is back
Mamimi: Hes not Taro ok?
Haruko: Oh really? That was close then, cause if it was Taro he would have just turned into another statistic, death by motorbike. I lucked out! Round two.
Mamimi: Knock out?
Haruko: Here we go. It’s not coming out, guess I’d better hit him again.
Mamimi: Stop! He hit his head alright, you said your self you shouldn’t move him.
Naota: What did you do to me?
Haruko: C.P.R. what do you think I did?
Naota: That’s not what I meant.
Mamimi: Did she put her tongue inside?
Haruko: You are useless!
Naota: What are you talking about?
Haruko: Bleh!
Mamimi & Naoto: Ah!
(Vespa speeds off)
Mamimi: Whoa shes very fast. Shes at least twenty years old. You need a doctor?
Naota: A stupid adult who doesn’t know how to grow up.
Mamimi: Does it hurt?
Naota: Owe! . . . It doesn’t look like a normal bump. I can’t go to the hospital like this. Guess I just need to hold it. Uh! What’ll I do in school tomorrow? Owe! Owe! . . .
Gaku: Did you hear, she was around yesterday?
Masashi: For reals?
Ninamori: That really looks bizarre
Gaku: Yeah isn’t it awesome?
Ninamori: You’re hiding something huh? Come on
Naota: Don’ be such a brat. Ah!
Gaku: Naota Naota. Did you hear?
Naota: What?
Gaku: The Vespa Woman.
Naota: Vespa? A wasp woman?
Masashi: She has a guitar.
Gaku: And a kuyusaku bike.
Masashi: Not exactly.
Gaku: Some girl in the other class had her super spicy curry bread stolen.
Ninamori: Super spicy?
Gaku: And and when she stings she leaves a demons mark that show you’ve been doing naughty things and it never goes away!
Ninamori: What naughty things?
(Intercom in the back round)
Miss Miyaji Junko teacher of grade six, class two please report to the faculty room.
Gaku: Uhh . . .Well . . .
Masashi: Like something really perverted.
Gaku: Wah! Perverted?
Ninamori: So whats that mark?
Gaku: It’s the mark of the demon!
Masashi: Really let me see.

Gaku: Did you see her naoto?
Masashi: Did she sting ya?
Gaku: Pervert hes a pervert!
Naota: What are you talking about?
Gaku: Pervert!
Ninamori: Lets see whats under there.
Naota: Nothing amazing happens here, every thing is ordinary. So it’s not a punishment like when I go see Samejimi Mamimi it’s just something I always do. It’s ordinary. After school I decide to go to the hospital, I didn’t want to think about vespa woman.
Haruko: Hmmm . . . Yeah this is just right, it has a good feel too. So what happened yesterday after I left? Did something happen? Hey something did happen right? Like something weird?
Naoto: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Haruko: Whats that? A pimple? Looks kind of sick, putrefied. Your not hiding something are you?
(train passes)
Haruko: Hmmm . . . Flictonic Clipper Waver Syndrome.
Naota: Uh . . . Fooly Cooly?
(pencil bouncing)
Haruko: Adolescent psychological skin hardening syndrome. It’s a common disease where children grow horns from trying too hard.
Naota: That’s a lie, I never heard that before.
Haruko: Yeah I lied; so what is the truth? Underneath the bad-aid?
Naota: What are you doing in the hospital?
Haruko: Stay right there. I’m going to make you feel all better.
Naota: Ah!
(base guitar crashing around)
Haruko: It’s my special treatment.
(base guitar stops)
Haruko: Where’d he go? Hey Hey! Taro-kun.
(Furi Kuri)
Naota: Photos? I don’t need to see that. No I’m busy. I don’t care, go out with your friends. (hangs up phone)
Naota: I dreamed about my brother, he was bating and I was dazzled by his swing. It seemed impossible that anything could have been so perfect.
