This is a fan translation and no money is being made off of this. Note: I will make this in the play script form, since it will be easier for both me and the readers... I will skip the reaction from the audience though, except the vital parts. Ren Crowford : Miyazawa Yukino Neo-model, May's boyfriend, Family Doctor : Izawa Maho Antique, Rosemary, May : Shibahime Tsubasa ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After stage part 1 ends. {Kano comes up blushing.} Yukino : My sister is Sawada(Aya)'s fan. Kano : I... I READ ALL YOUR WORKS SENSEI. Aya : {shuttering} Sensei...?!! -.-;; Tsubasa : Kazma. Let's continue our date~. The Doctor(you know, Maho's boyfriend) : You did well, really. I was amazed. Maho : ...... If you know then okay. {Tonami comes in.} Yukino : Tonami. Tonami : Ohoh, Yukino. The play was good. Yukino : Thanks~. Did you see Arima? Tonami : Well... He was here just a moment ago. {Later, Tonami is walking up stairs, and sees Sakura.} Sakura : Tonami. {But Tonami walks past her.} Tonami : 'What can there be for us from now? Only my pain will continue.' {Tonami remembers what happened with his family.} Tonami's mom : Tonami's festival, dad and mom and grandpa and graodma all is just excited. Tonami's dad : We should ask your classsmates to be good friends with you. Tonami : I don't need that kind of treatment. Tonami's dad : ...you made your mom cry again... You don't have any thought for others. You don't know your parent's love at all. We love you so much. Everyone loves you. We can't live without you. {Tonami holds his face for a while.} Tonami : 'It's okay. I won't fall down. I am no longer the past me. I have grown up and become stronger. I can be by myself. Just for that it wasn't waste of time for me to love Sakura.' Now Yukino is looking for Arima. Then all the people surrounds Yukino, complimenting her about the play. They are all excited for the 2nd part, and some who didn't see the play wants to see after what they heard about it. Aya and others are busy writing down the summary of the first part to give out to the people who missed the first part. Then Yukino meets some people who saw Asaba's stage. They are very touched.(I will not go to the details about it because 1. I don't know even how to pronounce half of the names of the shows. 2. For those shows I understand, I really really DON'T want to talk about them. 3. It's ASABA!! What kind of flavor did you think his show will be about?!?!?) Now the hall is packed with people who came to see play. It's very successfulful. But Yukino cannot find Arima among those people...... Arima, by himself, stands on the roof of the school, leaning on the fence...... {Two spotlights on Ren and Neo-model} Neo-model : Just what happened in your past? Ren : I'll explain. Every truth about me to you-. {scene changes. Young Ren is with Rose now.} Young Ren : Rose, where did you go yesterday? These days you quickly forget about our promises. I had waited for you all day. Rose : I can't help it. Our house is not very rich. I am not a child any more so I can't just play forever. Young Ren : But Rose is always with other men... Rose : What are you trying to say? Young Ren : I am afraid of your changes. Let's go back to how we used to be. Go to the river and pick flowers... Rose : Hah~ You are an idiot. I am sick and tired of seeing your dumb face. Now I am not interested in such things. I AM BORN BEAUTIFUL AND BEING LOVED BY MEN. I WANT TO HAVE EVERYTHING. ONE LIKE ME HAS TO LIVE A VERY HAPPY LIFE. Young Ren : You promised you'll be with me always. {Rose laughs} Rose : You believed such words? Let's stop playing childish game. I can't love you. I can't do anything for you. I won't see you any more. Don't show your face to me any more. {Scene changes. Young Ren's monologue.} Young Ren's monologue : It wasn't a game to me. Rose. I thought you would understand me, but you were same as others. You called me an idiot and said I don't know anything, and laughed at me. Why couldn't I be more smart. Then there wouldn't be anyone who laughs at me or make fun of me... DAMN. {Scene change.} Young Ren's monologue : A couple of years passed. Boss : Be thankful that I gave such a moron like you a job. Don't be lazy. If you make a mistake I won't forgive you! Young Ren : Yes..., yes. {Scene change. It's rainy day. Someone's at the door. Young Ren opens the door, and Rose in black robe stumbles in.} Young Ren : Rose... Why did you come here? Rose : There is no reason for you to be happy about this... I had no where to go... I thought about it, but only your face came up in my mind. {Rose coughs a little} I came to give this child. You are a kind man so you'll be good to her. I couldn't do it, but maybe this child could fulfill your wish... {Rose falls} Young Ren : ...ROSE! {Scene change} Young Ren's monologue : I named Rose's daughter May. Ten and some years passed. May : DADDY-. Ren : May. May : I baked you a pie. Do you know what day it is today? Ren : The day you came to our house. Do you really think it was a good thing you came to my house? I... I am dumb and poor... May you... don't people make fun of you? May : Not at all. If they want to talk let them talk. Besides you are not dumb at all. And you've been so good to me even though I am not your real blood. There isn't anyone as happy as I am. Ren's monologue : Unlike Rose who was beautiful like a red flower May was as innocent as white lily. {SC = Scene Change.} Ren : Ever since the kindergarten helping your homework got harder and harder. {SC} Ren : Ack~ Cream puff exploded. {SC. Ren and May dance together.} {SC. May is in her bed.} May : Daddy. Read me a story. Ren : Aren't you a bit old for this. Ren's monologue : Last years have been so happy. But recently... Ren : What would May think if she knew. I don't want to give you to anyone else. This feeling inside of me... May : Dad, there is a party at my friend's house. Can I go? It's gonna be really big. Everyone's invited. Ren : Do the boys come too? May : ? Yes. Ren : Don't go. You shouldn't. May's so beautiful that every boy will like you. I don't want that. I'd feel like you will go somewhere far away. I... I really love you. May : *giggle* I love you too daddy. You have been so good to me. {SC} Ren : May also... doesn't love you at all. Father. Mother. Classmates. Nobody loved me. It's... snowing. In my heart it's snowing. {SC. A chiar is thrown.} Ren : What is this. You only talk about school. Do you really like outside much better than home? May : I didn't say that. I just wanted to tell you some interesting stories... Ren : Our home is not a very happy home. Everyone would make fun of you anyway saying you are so unlucky to grow under such a stupid father. {Ren laughs hysterically.} Yes. No one would like such home like this one. May : STOP! I DON'T HAVE SUCH THOUGHTS...! {SC. Ren sees May standing with a man.} Ren : May... {Ren grabs an axe.} Never... I'LL NEVER FORGIVE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE MAY AWAY FROM ME! {May steps between and gets hit instead.} May : KYAAAAAAHHHHHH!! {Ren drops the axe.} Ren : You like him that much? May : No. I just didn't want you to hurt someone. I just talked with him about how to get you back to old you who was so kind. Please believe me. I really love you father. PLEASE TRUST ME. Please I... beg you. {SC. May's hurt and is now lying on bed.} Ren's monologue : I felt a weird relief. Ren : She can't go out with wounds like that. No one will want my daughter with such a scar. May's mine forever. HAHAHA! {SC. May's condition gets really worse.} Doctor : I did my best but... Ren : May! May : Don't cry... Now I know. I... really loved you... Ever since you changed, you were like a small child... I thought I should protect you. I've been loved by you so much... that I never thought about how much I loved you father. But I didn't want to be anyone else's bride. I loved only you. Ren : MAY...! {SC. It's outside. Ren's standing in the rain.} Ren : I MADE... MAY DIE-. I JUST FOUND SOMEONE TO TRUST, BUT WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THE TRUTH. WHY AM I BORN SUCH STUPID! {SC. Ren's standing on a cliff.} Ren : May... I can't live in a world without you. {Ren jumps.} I'll end myself too. Back in the stage, Aya is very impressed. Aya : Wow~ She's really into it. Yukino... Rika : Tsubasa is great too. She is playing three people all by herself. Aya : I created the character accroding to each of them. I knew Tsubasa has very keen animal instinct so I knew she could do it. {Side comment : Yukino's part was for her acting skill and her good memory. I just wanted to Maho to play a machine.} Back on the stage... {SC} Ren's monologue : When I woke up, My head felt so clean and clear like never before. I found out after detailed checkup. After I fell off the cliff and hit my head hard my IQ became super-intellegent over 180. I could understand everything I heard and saw. THAT WAS THE LOOK OF THE WORLD I REALIZED FOR THE FIRST TIME. {SC} Ren : I modified the machine a bit. Now we can increase our productivity. Boss : Amazing. It was a good idea to hire you. {SC} Boss : You are chosen as the head of engineer of the factory. {SC} Boss : The headquater called you. Now you are the engineer who are responsible for the entire company. {SC} Boss : The government nominated you. It looks like they finally decided to concentrate on developoing an android. How is it? Will you accept the offer? Ren : YES! Creating an android is my dream. It might be possible now. I might be able to turn back my mistakes in the past just a little bit. I want to let May live in this world one more time. So if May can be loved by everyone, and can help others that's all I wish for. Antique : NICE.TO.MEET.YOU. Master Ren Crowford. Ren's monologue : Completion of an artificial life shocked the world. That year I received the Nobel Prize as the youngest ever to do so. Continous development of new models. The days went by my eyes so fast. Meeting with high government official. Going on TV. Parties. Media's interview requests. The rich that I could never spent all... {SC} Reporter 1 : Don't push, don't push! Reporter 2 : How do you feel to be the richest man in the world? Ren : No comment. Bodyguard : Doctor is not a movie star! Reproter 3 : Please let us see the inside of your luxury mansion. I heard you were a single but do you have anyone in mind? {SC} Antique : You look tired, Master. Ren : I am just a scientiest but others are... Before no one would even look at me but now they all want to know about me although I never asked them. In the past I thought I could be loved if I was just smarter... {SC. Flashes go around.} News Anchor : Exclusive Special! There was a model for the first Artificial Life! {SC} Reporter 1 : Doctor! What was your relationship with this woman? Apparently you adopted her daughter. Which one did you choose for the model? News Anchor : Doctor Ren Crowford who leaped up the stair of success in one day! The continous discovery of new truth! Doctor used to have less than average intelligence! Ren's monologue : If I became smarter... I thought I could be loved by others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Homepage: http://karekano.hazydaze.net/ Email at: lostin[a]hazydaze.net Email translator at: chaspark@hotmail.com Date: June 15, 2000 Update: July 29, 2000
