 Kyon : Asking someone how long they believed in Santa Claus... |
(0:00:03.14) |
|
Kyon : ...is so meaningless that it couldn't even serve as worthless gossip... |
(0:00:06.65) |
|
Kyon : Regardless, if you're going to ask me how much of my childhood I spent believing in an old man in a red suit... |
(0:00:10.69) |
|
Kyon : ...I can confidently say that... |
(0:00:15.70) |
|
Kyon : ...I never believed in him in the first place. |
(0:00:17.24) |
|
Kyon :
I knew that the Santa at the preschool Christmas event was just a fake. |
(0:00:20.79) |
|
Kyon :
And I didn't even have to see Mommy kissing Santa Claus... |
(0:00:25.54) |
|
Kyon :
I suppose I was just a precocious child who questioned the existence of an old man who only worked on Christmas. |
(0:00:29.34) |
|
Kyon :
At any rate... |
(0:00:34.34) |
|
Kyon :
Be it aliens, time travelers, ghosts, demons, espers... |
(0:00:35.05) |
|
Kyon :
...or evil organizations and the heroes out of anime or comic books who battle them... |
(0:00:38.39) |
|
Kyon :
I didn't realize that they weren't real until some time later. |
(0:00:42.56) |
|
Kyon :
No. I had probably already realized the truth. |
(0:00:47.40) |
|
Kyon :
I just didn't want to admit it. |
(0:00:49.40) |
|
Kyon :
Deep in my heart, I wished that aliens, time travelers, ghosts, demons, espers... |
(0:00:51.65) |
|
Kyon :
...or evil organizations might pop up in front of me. |
(0:00:56.11) |
|
Kyon :
However, reality is rather cruel! |
(0:00:59.99) |
|
Kyon :
One must admire how well the laws of physics were written. |
(0:01:03.00) |
|
Kyon :
At some point, I stopped being glued to TV UFO specials and programs on psychics. |
(0:01:06.21) |
|
Kyon :
Aliens. Time travelers. Espers. |
(0:01:10.54) |
|
Kyon :
None of those could possibly exist. |
(0:01:12.80) |
|
Kyon :
Though I kind of wish they did... |
(0:01:14.01) |
|
Kyon :
So I suppose my ability to hold convictions while accepting reality is a sign that I've matured. |
(0:01:16.09) |
|
Kyon :
As I graduated from middle school... |
(0:01:24.02) |
|
Kyon :
...I also graduated from those childish dreams... |
(0:01:25.93) |
|
Kyon :
...and became accustomed to the routine of this world. |
(0:01:28.77) |
|
Kyon :
And so I entered high school with no particular vision in mind... |
(0:01:31.36) |
|
Kyon : I hope to have a good year with everyone. |
(0:01:31.77) |
|
Kyon :
...and met her. |
(0:01:34.07) |
 Haruhi Suzumiya : From East Middle School. |
(0:01:39.45) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Suzumiya Haruhi. |
(0:01:40.74) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I have no interest in ordinary humans. |
(0:01:42.53) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : If there are any aliens, time travelers, sliders, or espers here... |
(0:01:44.91) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...come join me. |
(0:01:50.38) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : That is all! |
(0:01:52.17) |
|
Kyon :
Are we supposed to laugh? |
(0:01:55.59) |
|
Kyon :
A striking beauty stood before me. |
(0:01:59.43) |
 Okabe : Uh, whoever's next. |
(0:02:12.82) |
|
Kyon :
Most people would think that she was just joking. |
(0:02:13.94) |
 Taniguchi : From East Middle School. |
(0:02:14.61) |
|
Taniguchi : I'm Taniguchi. |
(0:02:15.73) |
|
Kyon :
In hindsight, that was neither a joke nor a laughing matter. |
(0:02:16.69) |
|
Kyon :
Haruhi was always dead serious. |
(0:02:20.20) |
|
Kyon :
And so we met. |
(0:02:23.49) |
|
Kyon :
I deeply hope that... |
(0:02:25.83) |
|
Kyon :
...I can believe it was mere coincidence. |
(0:02:27.12) |
|
Kyon :
As long as Suzumiya Haruhi was sitting still with her mouth shut... |
(0:04:01.80) |
|
Kyon :
...one would believe that she was just a beautiful high schooler. |
(0:04:05.89) |
|
Kyon :
And since my seat just happened to be located right in front of hers... |
(0:04:08.51) |
|
Kyon :
...I figured it might be acceptable to approach her... |
(0:04:11.43) |
|
Kyon :
You can't blame me for losing my mind for a moment. |
(0:04:13.60) |
|
Kyon : Hey. |
(0:04:17.65) |
|
Kyon : About the stuff in that introduction earlier... |
(0:04:18.52) |
|
Kyon : How much of it was serious? |
(0:04:20.44) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : What stuff earlier? |
(0:04:23.49) |
|
Kyon : The stuff about aliens and whatnot. |
(0:04:25.24) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Are you an alien? |
(0:04:27.87) |
|
Kyon : No, but... |
(0:04:29.33) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : No, but what? |
(0:04:30.54) |
|
Kyon : No, forget it. |
(0:04:32.62) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Then don't talk to me. |
(0:04:34.29) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It's a waste of time. |
(0:04:35.92) |
|
Taniguchi : Don't mind her! |
(0:04:42.01) |
|
Kyon :
I didn't learn until later on... |
(0:04:43.59) |
|
Kyon :
...that they were all from the same middle school as Haruhi. |
(0:04:45.51) |
|
Taniguchi : If you're interested in her... |
(0:04:49.05) |
|
Taniguchi : ...I won't mince words. |
(0:04:50.93) |
|
Taniguchi : Give up on it. |
(0:04:52.31) |
|
Taniguchi : I know. I was in the same class as her for three years in middle school. |
(0:04:54.14) |
|
Taniguchi : Her queerness takes a path unlike anything you've seen. |
(0:04:58.69) |
 Kunikida : You mean her introduction? |
(0:05:01.36) |
|
Taniguchi : Yep. |
(0:05:02.78) |
|
Taniguchi : She did a bunch of strange things back in middle school, too. |
(0:05:03.69) |
|
Taniguchi : The most famous one would be the campus grounds graffiti incident. |
(0:05:07.70) |
|
Kyon : What's that? |
(0:05:10.12) |
|
Taniguchi : There's this device that uses lime to draw white lines, right? |
(0:05:11.41) |
|
Taniguchi : What was it called again... |
(0:05:14.00) |
|
Taniguchi : Whatever. |
(0:05:15.58) |
|
Taniguchi : Someone used that to draw some huge pictograph on the grounds. |
(0:05:16.46) |
|
Taniguchi : And it was secretly done at night. |
(0:05:20.34) |
|
Kunikida : I remember seeing that. |
(0:05:23.34) |
|
Kunikida : Wasn't that in the local section of the newspaper? |
(0:05:25.34) |
|
Kunikida : It looked like a failed attempt at a Nazca etching. |
(0:05:28.22) |
|
Kyon : And she was the one who did it? |
(0:05:31.51) |
|
Taniguchi : She said so herself, so it's gotta be her. |
(0:05:34.22) |
|
Taniguchi : One morning, we showed up at the classroom to find all the desks out in the hall. |
(0:05:37.19) |
|
Taniguchi : She drew stars on the roof in paint... |
(0:05:41.52) |
|
Taniguchi : She even stuck a bunch of talismans all around school. |
(0:05:44.11) |
|
Kyon : What is she doing? |
(0:05:45.11) |
|
Taniguchi : Like the ones they use to reanimate corpses. |
(0:05:47.61) |
|
Taniguchi : No idea what for. |
(0:05:50.32) |
|
Taniguchi : Even so, she's pretty popular. |
(0:05:52.33) |
|
Taniguchi : Since she does have looks. |
(0:05:54.91) |
|
Taniguchi : And then she's athletic and probably gets better grades than most. |
(0:05:57.37) |
|
Taniguchi : You can't tell she's a freak when she's just standing there. |
(0:06:01.42) |
|
Kunikida : Are there any stories about that? |
(0:06:05.01) |
|
Taniguchi : For a while, she kept going from one to another. |
(0:06:07.17) |
|
Taniguchi : As far as I know, the longest lasted a week... |
(0:06:09.80) |
|
Taniguchi : ...and apparently the shortest was five minutes after she agreed to go out with him. |
(0:06:13.31) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I don't have time to deal with ordinary humans! |
(0:06:19.31) |
|
Taniguchi : Then don't agree to go out in the first place... |
(0:06:21.77) |
|
Taniguchi : It's just a story I heard! |
(0:06:25.78) |
|
Taniguchi : Really. |
(0:06:27.07) |
|
Taniguchi : I don't know why, but apparently she doesn't turn anyone down. |
(0:06:28.03) |
|
Taniguchi : That's why I'm warning you before you get any weird ideas. |
(0:06:31.91) |
|
Taniguchi : Give it up. |
(0:06:36.20) |
|
Kyon :
There's nothing to give up on. |
(0:06:37.41) |
|
Kyon :
I'm not even interested. |
(0:06:38.87) |
|
Taniguchi : Personally, I'd say... |
(0:06:43.29) |
|
Taniguchi : ...the best one in the class is her. |
(0:06:45.13) |
|
Taniguchi : Asakura Ryoko. |
(0:06:49.30) |
|
Taniguchi : She's gotta be in the top three for our year. |
(0:06:51.09) |
|
Kyon : Did you check out all the first-year girls or something? |
(0:06:54.68) |
|
Taniguchi : Oh, yeah! |
(0:06:58.02) |
|
Taniguchi : I assigned them ranks from A to D... |
(0:06:59.23) |
|
Taniguchi : ...and I learned the full names of the ones who ranked A. |
(0:07:01.23) |
|
Kunikida : And Asakura-san is an A? |
(0:07:04.31) |
|
Taniguchi : An AA+. |
(0:07:06.44) |
|
Taniguchi : She's definitely a nice person, too. |
(0:07:08.36) |
 EXTRA : That's fast... |
(0:07:15.16) |
|
Kyon :
At this point, Suzumiya Haruhi had yet to act up. |
(0:07:17.62) |
|
Kyon :
And for me, it was a month of relaxation. |
(0:07:21.37) |
|
Kyon :
However, I should note that... |
(0:07:24.00) |
|
Kyon :
...I observed a number of Haruhi's eccentric behaviors during this period. |
(0:07:26.71) |
|
Kyon :
And so, peculiarity number one. |
(0:07:31.43) |
|
Kyon :
Her hairstyle changes everyday. |
(0:07:33.97) |
|
Kyon :
Monday. |
(0:07:35.51) |
|
Kyon :
Tuesday. |
(0:07:36.30) |
|
Kyon :
Wednesday. |
(0:07:37.06) |
|
Kyon :
Thursday. |
(0:07:37.81) |
|
Kyon :
Friday. |
(0:07:38.56) |
|
Kyon :
As the days progressed, the number of tied-off points in her hair would increase. |
(0:07:39.31) |
|
Kyon :
After resetting on Monday, it would increase one a day until Friday. |
(0:07:42.31) |
|
Kyon :
I wonder what her head looks like on Sunday. |
(0:07:45.98) |
|
Kyon :
I'd sure like to see it. |
(0:07:48.69) |
|
Kyon :
Peculiarity number two. |
(0:07:52.53) |
|
EXTRA : They saw my body! |
(0:07:53.20) |
|
Kyon :
Boys and girls split up for gym class. |
(0:07:54.49) |
|
Kyon :
Girls change in odd-numbered rooms... |
(0:07:57.24) |
|
Kyon :
...and boys move to even-numbered rooms, however... |
(0:07:58.91) |
|
Kyon :
...ignoring the fact that boys were still present... |
(0:08:01.91) |
|
Kyon :
...she began taking off her uniform! |
(0:08:04.37) |
|
Kyon :
It would appear that she viewed guys on the same level as potatoes. |
(0:08:12.80) |
|
Kyon :
Peculiarity number three. |
(0:08:18.97) |
|
Kyon :
To my amazement... |
(0:08:22.06) |
|
Kyon :
...she temporarily joined a wide range of clubs in this school. |
(0:08:23.52) |
|
Kyon :
All the sports clubs without exception fervently pursued her membership. |
(0:08:27.90) |
|
EXTRA : 'Sides, your presence alone would motivate us! |
(0:08:31.53) |
|
Kyon :
In the end, she didn't join a single one of them. |
(0:08:36.28) |
|
Kyon :
What exactly is she trying to do? |
(0:08:39.37) |
|
Kyon :
In the process, we reached the first day after Golden Week. |
(0:08:46.12) |
|
Taniguchi : - Yo, Kyon! |
(0:08:47.92) |
|
Kyon : Yo. |
(0:08:50.42) |
|
Kyon :
Incidentally, Kyon is my nickname. |
(0:08:51.34) |
|
Taniguchi : Did you go somewhere for Golden Week? |
(0:08:51.76) |
|
Kyon : I took my sister to see our grandmother. |
(0:08:53.47) |
|
Kyon :
I sure wish people would stop calling me that. |
(0:08:54.47) |
|
Taniguchi : That's lame. |
(0:08:55.30) |
|
EXTRA : 'Sup. |
(0:08:57.34) |
|
Kyon : So that makes today Wednesday. |
(0:09:02.06) |
|
Kyon :
And with that thought in mind... |
(0:09:03.81) |
|
Kyon :
I was probably possessed by some demon. |
(0:09:05.44) |
|
Kyon :
I can think of no other explanation. |
(0:09:07.15) |
|
Kyon : Do you change your hair every day as an alien countermeasure? |
(0:09:09.90) |
|
Kyon :
I talked to Suzumiya Haruhi. |
(0:09:13.65) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : When did you notice? |
(0:09:16.28) |
|
Kyon : Just recently. |
(0:09:18.62) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I see. |
(0:09:19.91) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I think that... |
(0:09:22.16) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...each day gives off a different image. |
(0:09:24.08) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Color-wise, Monday(Moon) would be yellow. |
(0:09:28.63) |
|
Kyon : I get the feeling this is the first time we've had a conversation. |
(0:09:30.04) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Tuesday(Fire) would be red. |
(0:09:31.38) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Wednesday(Water) would be blue. |
(0:09:32.38) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Thursday(Wood) would be green. |
(0:09:33.55) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Friday(Gold) is gold. |
(0:09:35.22) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Saturday(Earth) is light brown. |
(0:09:36.59) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Sunday(Sun) is white. |
(0:09:37.63) |
|
Kyon :
I can see where she's coming from, but... |
(0:09:39.05) |
|
Kyon : So with numbers... |
(0:09:41.47) |
|
Kyon : ...Monday would be zero and Sunday would be six? |
(0:09:43.60) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Yes. |
(0:09:46.31) |
|
Kyon : Monday feels more like one to me. |
(0:09:47.81) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Nobody asked for your opinion! |
(0:09:51.23) |
|
Kyon : Oh, really. |
(0:09:53.78) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Have I met you before? |
(0:10:09.37) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : A long time ago... |
(0:10:12.63) |
|
Kyon : Nope. |
(0:10:13.75) |
|
Kyon :
The trigger... |
(0:10:15.92) |
|
Kyon :
...while being nothing particularly significant... |
(0:10:17.22) |
|
Kyon :
This would indeed be the trigger. |
(0:10:20.22) |
|
Kyon :
In any case, a serious response from Haruhi was a surprise. |
(0:10:22.89) |
|
Kyon :
"Shut up!" "Moron!" "Be quiet!" "Who cares about that!?" |
(0:10:25.89) |
|
Kyon :
...were the replies I was expecting. |
(0:10:28.94) |
|
Kyon :
Which is why... |
(0:10:33.19) |
|
Kyon :
...when Haruhi showed up with her long hair cut... |
(0:10:34.11) |
|
Kyon :
...I was rather disturbed. |
(0:10:37.44) |
|
Kyon :
Anyway, isn't cutting it the day after I point it out a bit hasty? |
(0:10:39.57) |
|
Kyon :
Hey. |
(0:10:43.99) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Not really. |
(0:10:46.70) |
|
Kyon : After that... |
(0:10:49.33) |
|
Kyon : ...conversing with Haruhi in the short period before homeroom became a daily event. |
(0:10:50.37) |
|
Kyon : I heard this rumor... |
(0:10:51.42) |
|
Kyon : Is it true that you've dumped every guy you went out with? |
(0:10:54.42) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : What gives you the right to ask me that? |
(0:10:58.21) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I don't know what you've heard, but very well. |
(0:11:02.01) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It's probably all true. |
(0:11:04.85) |
|
Kyon : There wasn't a single guy you seriously wanted to date? |
(0:11:06.60) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : All of them were totally no good. |
(0:11:10.89) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Every single one of them was ridiculously square. |
(0:11:12.27) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : None of them were aliens, time travelers, or espers. |
(0:11:15.73) |
|
Kyon :
That's to be expected. |
(0:11:19.07) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : And what's up with most of them asking me out over the phone? |
(0:11:20.40) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Important matters like these should be said in person! |
(0:11:23.82) |
|
Kyon : Well... you think so? |
(0:11:27.16) |
|
Kyon : I'll just go along with her. |
(0:11:28.24) |
|
Kyon : I'd probably call her out somewhere and tell her. |
(0:11:28.50) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : That's not important! |
(0:11:31.21) |
|
Kyon :
So is it or isn't it? |
(0:11:33.38) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : The problem is that there are only worthless men on this planet. |
(0:11:34.63) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I spent most of middle school being irritated. |
(0:11:40.30) |
|
Kyon : Then what kind of a guy did you want? |
(0:11:43.76) |
|
Kyon : I'm guessing an alien? |
(0:11:46.05) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : An alien. |
(0:11:47.51) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Or something along those lines. |
(0:11:48.22) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : In any case, as long as it isn't an ordinary human, it doesn't matter if it's a guy or a girl... |
(0:11:50.93) |
|
Kyon : Why are you so particular about non-humans? |
(0:11:54.77) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Isn't that more fun? |
(0:11:59.82) |
|
Taniguchi : Hey, Kyon! |
(0:12:13.42) |
|
Taniguchi : What kind of magic did you use? |
(0:12:14.79) |
|
Kyon : What are you talking about? |
(0:12:16.96) |
|
Taniguchi : I've never seen Suzumiya talk that long before. |
(0:12:18.46) |
|
Taniguchi : What did you say to her? |
(0:12:22.76) |
|
Kyon :
What did I say? |
(0:12:24.34) |
|
Kyon :
I get the feeling I just asked whatever was on my mind. |
(0:12:25.72) |
|
Taniguchi : It's the end of the world. |
(0:12:29.01) |
|
Kunikida : Kyon's always liked weird girls. |
(0:12:31.06) |
|
Kyon : Don't say things that'll cause misunderstanding. |
(0:12:34.19) |
 Ryoko Asakura : I'd also like to know. |
(0:12:36.77) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : Suzumiya-san never responds no matter how hard I try to talk to her. |
(0:12:39.07) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : How did you get her to talk to you? |
(0:12:43.57) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : Is there a trick to it? |
(0:12:45.66) |
|
Kyon : Don't know. |
(0:12:47.03) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : But I'm relieved now. |
(0:12:49.58) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : I'd be worried if Suzumiya-san kept isolating herself from the rest of the class. |
(0:12:51.12) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : It's a good thing that she's managed to make a friend. |
(0:12:55.33) |
|
Kyon : Friend, huh... |
(0:12:58.29) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : Keep up whatever you're doing to make Suzumiya-san open up to the class. |
(0:13:00.42) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : We were fortunate enough to be put into the same class... |
(0:13:04.80) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : ...so we should all be friends, right? |
(0:13:07.05) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : I'm counting on you. |
(0:13:09.01) |
|
Kyon :
Easy for you to say. |
(0:13:10.14) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : If I need to tell her anything from now on... |
(0:13:11.26) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : ...I'll ask you to tell her for me. |
(0:13:13.56) |
|
Kyon : But hold on! |
(0:13:17.52) |
|
Kyon : I'm not her spokesman or anything. |
(0:13:18.56) |
|
Ryoko Asakura : Pretty please. |
(0:13:22.19) |
|
Taniguchi : Kyon! |
(0:13:32.45) |
|
Taniguchi : We're buddies, right? |
(0:13:33.33) |
|
Kyon :
I'm surrounded by a bunch of idiots. |
(0:13:35.29) |
|
Kyon :
Our seating arrangements are being changed. |
(0:13:38.08) |
|
Kyon :
After drawing my lot from the tin... |
(0:13:39.71) |
|
Kyon :
...my new seat was next to the window, second from behind. Quite excellent. |
(0:13:42.34) |
|
Kyon :
Farewell, Haruhi. |
(0:13:46.34) |
|
Kyon :
Forever. |
(0:13:47.55) |
|
Kyon :
This is coincidence, right? |
(0:13:50.22) |
|
Kyon : Did you really try joining all the clubs? |
(0:13:52.85) |
|
Kyon : Let me know if you find one that's fun. |
(0:13:55.89) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : There totally aren't any at all. |
(0:13:59.65) |
|
Kyon :
An immediate response. |
(0:14:01.02) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Totally none at all! |
(0:14:02.27) |
|
Kyon :
It appears she has a habit of using the word "totally." |
(0:14:03.44) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I was expecting something better after entering high school... |
(0:14:06.69) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...but this is no different from back during mandatory education. |
(0:14:09.82) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Maybe I went to the wrong school. |
(0:14:13.28) |
|
Kyon :
What criteria are you using to choose a school? |
(0:14:15.33) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : There was a Mystery Research Society. |
(0:14:18.79) |
|
Kyon : How was it? |
(0:14:21.75) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : A joke. |
(0:14:22.59) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : They haven't had a single encounter with anything like a case. |
(0:14:23.80) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : All the members are just mystery fanatic bookworms. |
(0:14:27.72) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : None of them look like detective material. |
(0:14:30.13) |
|
Kyon : Well, yeah? |
(0:14:32.05) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I was expecting more from the Supernatural Phenomena Research Society... |
(0:14:33.51) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...but it was just a bunch of occult freaks. |
(0:14:36.52) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : What do you think of that? |
(0:14:39.48) |
|
Kyon : Nothing much. |
(0:14:40.69) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Man, it's boring! |
(0:14:42.44) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : With so many clubs, you'd think there'd be at least one weird one. |
(0:14:44.02) |
|
Kyon : You can't do anything about what doesn't exist. |
(0:14:47.86) |
|
Kyon : In the end, humans have to settle for what's in front of them. |
(0:14:49.86) |
|
Kyon : If you think about it, the humans who were unable to do that... |
(0:14:54.49) |
|
Kyon : ...made discoveries or inventions... |
(0:14:57.20) |
|
Kyon : ...and advanced civilization. |
(0:14:59.12) |
|
Kyon : Planes were invented because people wanted to fly. |
(0:15:01.04) |
|
Kyon : Cars and trains came to be because people wanted easier means to move around. |
(0:15:03.92) |
|
Kyon : However, this came from a limited number of people who had innovative plans and concepts. |
(0:15:07.59) |
|
Kyon : In other words, geniuses made it all possible. |
(0:15:12.51) |
|
Kyon : Common folk like us are best off living an ordinary life. |
(0:15:15.56) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Shut up! |
(0:15:19.77) |
|
Kyon :
Just maybe... |
(0:15:24.69) |
|
Kyon :
This conversation gave her the idea. |
(0:15:25.82) |
|
Kyon :
It happened suddenly. |
(0:15:29.90) |
|
Kyon : What are you doing!? |
(0:15:37.70) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I figured it out! |
(0:15:38.54) |
|
Kyon : Figured out what? |
(0:15:40.12) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Why didn't I realize such a simple thing sooner? |
(0:15:41.16) |
|
Kyon : Realize what? |
(0:15:44.88) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : If there isn't one, I just have to make it myself! |
(0:15:45.63) |
|
Kyon : Make what? |
(0:15:48.34) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : A club! |
(0:15:49.88) |
|
Kyon : I got it. |
(0:15:53.97) |
|
Kyon : Well, just calm down for now. |
(0:15:55.14) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : What's with your reaction? |
(0:15:56.55) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : You should be a little happier about this discovery. |
(0:15:57.81) |
|
Kyon : We're in class right now. |
(0:16:01.77) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Clubroom... Clubroom... |
(0:16:07.77) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Assist me. |
(0:16:13.03) |
|
Kyon :
This feels like extortion. |
(0:16:14.61) |
|
Kyon : Assist you with what? |
(0:16:17.20) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Making my new club. |
(0:16:18.53) |
|
Kyon : Why do I have to help you with your idea? |
(0:16:20.58) |
|
Kyon : Tell me that first. |
(0:16:24.25) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I'll go secure a room and members... |
(0:16:26.13) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...so you go get the chartering paperwork. |
(0:16:28.84) |
|
Kyon : She's not listening. |
(0:16:29.80) |
|
Kyon : What kind of club are you planning on making? |
(0:16:32.09) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Why does that even matter? |
(0:16:34.43) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Making the club comes first! |
(0:16:36.30) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Understood? |
(0:16:38.14) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Find out what you have to do before school's over. |
(0:16:38.81) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I'll find a room before then. |
(0:16:40.89) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Understood? |
(0:16:43.27) |
|
Kyon :
The provisions for chartering a "student association": |
(0:16:45.77) |
|
Kyon :
Five members or more. |
(0:16:49.23) |
|
Kyon :
A faculty advisor... |
(0:16:51.44) |
|
Kyon :
...a club name... |
(0:16:52.74) |
|
Kyon :
...a chairperson... |
(0:16:53.44) |
|
Kyon :
...a summary of club activities... |
(0:16:54.49) |
|
Kyon :
There was no need to find out anything. |
(0:16:56.61) |
|
Kyon :
Everything is listed out on the back of the student handbook. |
(0:16:58.32) |
|
Kyon :
I don't mind writing this... |
(0:17:00.95) |
|
Kyon :
...but I'm willing to bet that whatever Haruhi has in mind... |
(0:17:02.70) |
|
Kyon :
...isn't going to "adhere to the policy of leading a productive and creative school life." |
(0:17:04.54) |
|
Kyon : Wait! Hol— |
(0:17:09.92) |
|
Kyon : What! Not aga— |
(0:17:10.92) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : This room is now our clubroom! |
(0:17:13.26) |
|
Kyon : Wait a tick. |
(0:17:15.93) |
|
Kyon : Where are we? |
(0:17:16.93) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : The arts department's clubhouse. |
(0:17:18.76) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : The art club and wind ensemble have an art room and a music room, right? |
(0:17:21.10) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Clubs and associations that don't have such special classrooms... |
(0:17:25.52) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...have rooms in this clubhouse. |
(0:17:29.73) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Also known as the old shack. |
(0:17:30.98) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : This is the literary club's room. |
(0:17:32.44) |
|
Kyon : So this belongs to the literary club. |
(0:17:34.40) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : But the third-years all graduated last spring so it has zero members. |
(0:17:36.32) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It was the only club that would have been cut if nobody new joined. |
(0:17:40.32) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : And this girl is the first-year who joined. |
(0:17:44.79) |
|
Kyon : Then the club wasn't cut. |
(0:17:48.83) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Close enough. |
(0:17:51.09) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : There's only one person. |
(0:17:52.46) |
|
Kyon : What about her? |
(0:17:53.88) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : She said she's fine with it. |
(0:17:55.67) |
|
Kyon : For real? |
(0:17:57.51) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : When I asked her to lend me this room during lunch... |
(0:17:58.84) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...she said go ahead. |
(0:18:01.89) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : She doesn't care as long as she can read apparently. |
(0:18:02.97) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I suppose you could call her an oddball. |
(0:18:06.43) |
|
Kyon :
Yeah. You're one to talk. |
(0:18:08.94) |
 Yuki Nagato : Nagato Yuki. |
(0:18:12.86) |
|
Kyon : Then, Nagato-san. |
(0:18:15.78) |
|
Kyon : She's planning on turning this room into an I-have-no-idea-what club. |
(0:18:17.40) |
|
Kyon : Is that still okay with you? |
(0:18:21.24) |
|
Yuki Nagato : Yes. |
(0:18:22.74) |
|
Kyon : Well, but... |
(0:18:23.79) |
|
Kyon : It'll probably be a huge bother. |
(0:18:25.29) |
|
Yuki Nagato : Not really. |
(0:18:27.87) |
|
Kyon : You might even get chased out. |
(0:18:28.54) |
|
Yuki Nagato : Go ahead. |
(0:18:31.17) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : That's that. |
(0:18:33.92) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Be sure to meet in this room after school from now on. |
(0:18:35.71) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : You better show up! |
(0:18:38.72) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : If you don't, heads will roll! |
(0:18:40.47) |
|
Kyon : I understand. |
(0:18:43.05) |
|
Kyon :
I like my head where it is. |
(0:18:44.76) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : We have to recruit members first. |
(0:18:46.52) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : We need at least two more. |
(0:18:48.73) |
|
Kyon :
Wait, that means... |
(0:18:51.06) |
|
Kyon :
...you've already counted in that literary club girl as well? |
(0:18:52.19) |
|
Kyon :
Aren't you confusing her with a piece of furniture that came with the room now? |
(0:18:55.19) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Rest assured. |
(0:18:58.86) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I'll find them in no time. |
(0:18:59.78) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I happen to know of someone made for this club. |
(0:19:01.28) |
|
Kyon : And so, the next day. |
(0:19:04.45) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : You go on ahead! |
(0:19:05.99) |
|
Kyon :
As for me... |
(0:19:09.66) |
|
Kyon :
Oh well. |
(0:19:11.67) |
|
Kyon :
I shuffled my feet towards the clubroom. |
(0:19:12.63) |
|
Kyon : Whatcha reading? |
(0:19:16.17) |
|
Kyon : Is it interesting? |
(0:19:20.09) |
|
Yuki Nagato : Unique. |
(0:19:24.26) |
|
Kyon : Which part of it? |
(0:19:25.60) |
|
Yuki Nagato : All of it. |
(0:19:28.68) |
|
Kyon : You like books, huh? |
(0:19:29.73) |
|
Yuki Nagato : Relatively. |
(0:19:34.11) |
|
Kyon : Is that so... |
(0:19:35.31) |
|
Kyon :
Can I leave now? |
(0:19:39.11) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Hey! Sorry about being late. |
(0:19:43.32) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It took a while to catch her. |
(0:19:45.66) |
|
Kyon :
It was another girl. |
(0:19:47.66) |
|
Kyon :
And an extraordinarily beautiful one at that. |
(0:19:49.58) |
 Mikuru Asahina : What is this? |
(0:19:49.95) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : Where are we? |
(0:19:52.21) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : Why did you bring me here? |
(0:19:54.17) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : Why are you l-locking the door!? |
(0:19:58.46) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : What are you— |
(0:20:00.55) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Be quiet. |
(0:20:00.97) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Allow me to introduce you. |
(0:20:04.39) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : This is Asahina Mikuru-chan. |
(0:20:05.43) |
|
Kyon :
That's the whole introduction? |
(0:20:10.68) |
|
Kyon : Where did you abduct her from? |
(0:20:13.56) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I didn't abduct her. |
(0:20:15.10) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It was voluntary arrest. |
(0:20:16.61) |
|
Kyon : Close enough. |
(0:20:17.82) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I caught her daydreaming in a second-year classroom. |
(0:20:19.11) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I go through every corner of the school during breaks... |
(0:20:22.65) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...so I remembered her after spotting her a few times. |
(0:20:26.70) |
|
Kyon :
I was wondering why she wasn't in the classroom during breaks... So that's what she was doing. |
(0:20:29.16) |
|
Kyon : Then... isn't she an upperclassman? |
(0:20:34.04) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : What about it? |
(0:20:36.79) |
|
Kyon : Never mind then. |
(0:20:39.34) |
|
Kyon : Uh... Asahina-san, is it? |
(0:20:40.34) |
|
Kyon : Why her? |
(0:20:41.96) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Well, take a look. |
(0:20:43.76) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : She's super cute, isn't she? |
(0:20:47.26) |
|
Kyon :
She sounded like a dangerous kidnapper. |
(0:20:49.56) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I believe that turn-ons are an essential factor. |
(0:20:52.02) |
|
Kyon : Sorry. |
(0:20:56.98) |
|
Kyon : What was that? |
(0:20:57.73) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Turn-ons! Turn-ons! |
(0:20:58.52) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : This is an element of turning people on. |
(0:20:59.94) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Fundamentally, in every story where something strange happens... |
(0:21:02.03) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : ...there's always an alluring, lolita-looking character present. |
(0:21:05.86) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : That's not all. |
(0:21:12.70) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : She's so small yet, look. |
(0:21:17.79) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Her breasts are bigger than mine. |
(0:21:18.92) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : A lolita face with big breasts. |
(0:21:20.67) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : This is an important element of turning people on! |
(0:21:22.55) |
|
Kyon :
News to me. |
(0:21:25.26) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : They really are big... |
(0:21:26.59) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It's starting to piss me off. |
(0:21:28.39) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Such a cute face is sporting bigger ones than me! |
(0:21:30.35) |
|
Kyon : Are you a moron? |
(0:21:33.31) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : But they're really big! |
(0:21:34.43) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Seriously. |
(0:21:35.98) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Why don't you touch them? |
(0:21:36.69) |
|
Kyon : I'll pass. |
(0:21:39.06) |
|
Kyon : So then, what? |
(0:21:40.73) |
|
Kyon : The fact that this Asahina-san is cute, small, and has big breasts... |
(0:21:41.82) |
|
Kyon : ...is why you brought her here? |
(0:21:47.32) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : That's right. |
(0:21:49.03) |
|
Kyon :
She must have been born dumb. |
(0:21:49.95) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : I figure we need a mascot character like her. |
(0:21:51.95) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Mikuru-chan, are you in any other clubs? |
(0:21:55.20) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : Um... The calligraphy club. |
(0:21:58.50) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : Quit that then. |
(0:22:00.42) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : It'll conflict with our club activities. |
(0:22:01.71) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : I see... |
(0:22:17.81) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : I understand. |
(0:22:20.06) |
|
Kyon :
What did she just understand? |
(0:22:21.31) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : I'll quit the calligraphy club and join this one. |
(0:22:22.65) |
|
Mikuru Asahina : But I'm not sure what the literary club does... |
(0:22:25.65) |
|
Haruhi Suzumiya : We aren't the literary club. |
(0:22:29.86) |
|
Kyon : We're temporarily borrowing this room. |
(0:22:32.62) |
|
Kyon : The club you're being forced into... |
(0:22:35.79) |
|
Kyon : ...is an unnamed association yet to be made by Suzumiya over there that will participate in unknown activities. |
(0:22:37.91) |
|
