EPISODE THREE - ON THE NIGHT OF THE BALL

  LITTLE GIRL: Hi. Remember me? My parents are still dead.
  PRINCE: Boom shakalaka.
  LITTLE GIRL: These petticoats itch. I wanna wear pants now.
  UTENA: I had a past. There was a guy in it. He gave me cheap jewelry. Couldn't you just swoon?
  ANTHY: ...::chew::
  UTENA: You're incredibly unpopular, you know.
  ANTHY: ...
  UTENA: Seriously, I don't think anyone at this whole school likes you.
  ANTHY: ...
  UTENA: You can't spend all your time with a rodent. We're going friend-shopping.
  SCHOOLGIRLS: Fangirl time!
  UTENA: Thank you, but I'm not a lesbian.
  ANTHY: Engagement.
  UTENA: I'm still not a lesbian. I like guys.
  TOUGA: I'm a guy. Wanna screw?
  UTENA: You I don't like. Hands off the hair.
  TOUGA: But I have a ring.
  UTENA: Ooooo, shiny... still no.
  ANTHY: ...
  UTENA: Hmmm, he IS pretty. Could he be my prince, despite the fact that they look nothing alike?
  TOUGA: Eggs.

  JURI & MIKI: Chickens.
  MIKI: Saionji's suicidal.
  JURI: And we care... why? What I want to know is why this new girl isn't eating lunch with us ring-bearers.
  TOUGA: I know more than you do. And I'm sexy. Nyeah nyeah.
  JURI: You just keep thinking that.
  WAKABA: What's "gravity"?
  UTENA: Nah. My prince wouldn't be such a player.
  WAKABA: Just stay away from Anthy. You're MY pseudo-boyfriend, and don't you forget it.
  KEIKO: You suck!
  AIKO: You suck lots!
  YUUKO: You suck so much you made Saionji suck, too!
  KEIKO: SLAP!
  ANTHY: ...
  NANAMI: Goodness gracious me, whatever is going on here?


>
  KEIKO/AIKO/YUUKO: Eep! Run away!
  NANAMI: Come to the party. You got nominated for Dance Queen, despite nobody liking you. Let's be buddies.
  ANTHY: ...
  UTENA: You really need to get out more.
  UTENA: Dresses? What the? Who mails dresses?
  UTENA: Ew. Himemiya, yours is awful- but then again, mine's pink. Gag. Doesn't this guy have any taste?
  TOUGA: Smooch.
  ANTHY: I'm not going. Normal people give me hives.
 

UTENA: You're going.

  ANTHY: 'Kay.
  SHADOW GIRLS: Dating bites. Woof.
  NANAMI: Do you think I'm sexy, big brother?
  TOUGA: Not even remotely. But I'll encourage you anyway.
  NANAMI: I got you a present. No, not that one, the one with the bows.
  TOUGA: Pink turns me on. Oh, sorry, did you say something?
  NANAMI: My bows are bigger than her bows.
  TOUGA: You are SO hot in those ruffles. Wanna dance?
  UTENA: Hell no.
  TOUGA: Screw?
  UTENA: Also no.
  NANAMI: Come stand over here for no reason whatsoever. You can trust me.
    CHAMPAGNE: SPLERT.
  ANTHY: ...Well. That was phallic. Is it me, or is there a draft in here?
  UTENA: You're not getting any, so stop drooling down my cleavage.
  TOUGA: Is that your fiancee over there in the dissolving clothes?
  UTENA: I can't take her anywhere, can I?
  ANTHY: Well, I'm cold, but at least that hideous dress is gone.
  UTENA: I hid my duelling outfit under my clothes. Just in case, you know? Everything I know about tablecloth dresses I learned from Martha Stewart. Now, let's boogie!
  CHUCHU: My lifelong dream to be a deejay, finally fulfilled!
  NANAMI: How dare she ruin my bizarre prank? Hiss!
  TOUGA: She excites me.
  NANAMI: KILL.
  UTENA: This doesn't mean I'm a lesbian.
