EPISODE ELEVEN-
GRACEFULLY CRUEL - THE ONE WHO PICKS THAT FLOWER

  WAKABA: Oy, you so SKINNY! How you gonna get a man if you don't eat?
  UTENA: Since when did you turn into the Jewish mom I never wanted?
  WAKABA: Hush up and be a good girl while Auntie Wakaba molests you in public.
  UTENA: Ack! Bad touches! Bad touches!
  ANTHY: ...So if I feed you, I get to do that to you too?
  UTENA: Hey! Guys! Still not a lesbian!
  MIKI: Well, aren't we stalky.
  TOUGA: You're just jealous because you don't have my girldar.
  MIKI: ...say what?
  TOUGA: Girldar. It's like gaydar, only... uh... hey, look, the Rose Bride in a tiny skirt again!
  MIKI: Utena's going to kick your ass if she catches you doing this, you realize.
  TOUGA: Not if I make with the mad seXXX0rZ first.
  MIKI: Remind me again why I spend time with you?
  UTENA: Ooooooo, shiny... Okay, SO much less attractive when covered in fawning girlflesh. Because I AM NOT A LESBIAN and as such do not like the girls! See? SEE?
  ANTHY: Mmhmm. Of course you aren't.
  JURI: Why are you talking when I'm always the first one in the elevator? I want to do the speech for once.
  TOUGA: Eggs. Girls have eggs too.
  MIKI: ...oboy.
  TOUGA: My little sister lost.
  MIKI: And nobody is surprised.
  TOUGA: I totally manipulated her into it, too.
  JURI: We figured this out already. What we don't know is how Touga is planning to try and beat Tenjou.
  TOUGA: SEX.
  JURI: ...and...?
  TOUGA: No, seriously. That's it. Sex.
  MIKI: And this is our fearless leader. Grand.
  UTENA: Maybe he's my prince. Or maybe he's victimizing Himemiya again. It's a tossup.
  TOUGA: Awwww, the Rose Bride's fragile girlhood dreams, sparkly and sweet as spun sugar. *crunchcrunchcrunch*
  ANTHY: ...wah.
  TOUGA: And now I shall fondle your ear in a vaguely unwholesome fashion. You don't mind or anything, do you?
  UTENA: I damn well do! Himemiya's MY fiancee!
  TOUGA: ...Do you need me to say anything here, or should I just raise my eyebrow?
  UTENA: ...I didn't mean it like THAT, you pervert! Besides, she hates being your toy! Tell him you hate being their toy, puppet-roommate!
  ANTHY: Good grief, you're slow on the uptake.
  TOUGA: Oh, by the way, guess what? I'm your prince.
  ANVIL: ::crashes to ground::
  UTENA: Are you my prince? I keep trying to find my prince. Are you my prince?
  TOUGA: Shall I prove it... with my tongue?
  UTENA: ...oooooooshiny.
  TOUGA: Sometimes this is way too easy.
  ANTHY: Um, guys? I'm standing RIGHT HERE.
  TOUGA: Wait- changed my mind. Instead of necking, why don't we beat on each other with pointy metal things?
  UTENA: ...wah!
  TOUGA: Heh. *crunchcrunchcrunch*
  UTENA: Boy or friend? Boy or friend? The eternal struggle rages on...
  ANTHY: Methinks the time is right to say exactly what you want to hear. Ahem. 'Friends are good. If I had friends, my life would be better.'
  UTENA: Woohoo! Progress at last! I dance for joy!
  ANTHY: Gosh, he was right. This IS easy. ^_^
  SHADOW GIRLS: William Tell. He had great aim. Also, archers are sexy. Which, if you're on crack, segues into our theme of the day- "vicious cycle." All together now, kids!
  UTENA: None of you at home can tell, but these accessories tickle like you would not believe.
  ANTHY: Well, goodness, if you have such a problem with them...
  TOUGA: Enough talk- let's DANCING!
  UTENA: Does Saionji know you stole his katana? And his Engrish?
  TOUGA: Despite the fact that I have over a foot of height and at least forty pounds on you, I shall demean your skills.
  UTENA: Thanks for the condescension. May I have another?
  TOUGA: You're not really very good at this, you know.
  UTENA: Look, it's not like I ever DID this before I met you lunatics, okay? Hey, um, dead guy? A little help here?
  TOUGA: Prince!
  UTENA: Ack!
  PRINCE: I can't leave you alone for a minute, can I?
  TOUGA: It's like fish in a barrel, it really is.
  UTENA: But... you can't take her away! I need her around to clean up after me and make me feel better about myself!
  ANTHY: Has anyone ever explained the meaning of "naive" to you? Everything you thought about our "friendship" was great big lie. And now I'm Touga's sockpuppet. ^_^
  UTENA: ...wah.
  TOUGA: In small words, then. Utena Tenjou, you suck.
  UTENA: ...wah.
  ANTHY: He's right, you know. Seeya.
  UTENA: ...wah!
