Chobits Episode 04 - Chii Goes Shopping

OPENING THEME MUSIC: "Let Me Be With You"

*** Street ***

Hideki is standing on the street, across from a lingerie store, breathing heavily and blushing.

WOMAN 1: What is he doing?

WOMAN 2: He's been coming here for a week now, and all he's done is stand in front of the store....

WOMAN 3: He gives me the creeps!

GIRL: Mama, that guy is breathing really hard!

WOMAN 4: Shh! Don't go near him!

Hideki clenches his fist.

HIDEKI: All right! Today I'll do it for sure!

He strides confidently toward the shop, then turns around and runs away.

HIDEKI: I can't!!!! Hehhh! Why can't I just say, "A pair of panties, please"?!

TITLE SCREEN

Hideki walks toward his apartment building.

HIDEKI, sadly: I ended up not buying them again. What am I doing????

*** Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki enters.

HIDEKI, sadly: Tadaima.

He notices that Chii is trying to take off her dress.

HIDEKI: Agggh! What are you doing, Chii?!

He goes over to her and sees that her dress is over her face.

CHII, muffled: Hideki.

She pulls her head out.

CHII: Okaerinasai.

Hideki chuckles.

HIDEKI: Tadaima, Chii. You remembered my name.

CHII: Hideki's name is Hideki. Chii learned that.

HIDEKI: That's great, Chii! You're picking up speech pretty well. But.... What were you doing just now?

Chii points to a folded sailor-type dress lying on the floor.

CHII: That. Kanrinin-san gave it to me.

HIDEKI: Oh, that's why you were trying to change, huh? I'll have to thank her later. I guess panties are the only problem now.... Kanrinin-san has given us all sorts of clothes, but....

He imagines Hibiya smiling in front of a background of the word "LINGERIE."

FANTASY HIDEKI: Kanrinin-san, may I have a pair of your panties?

HIDEKI: Agggh! I'd never say something like that! I'm not a pervert!

CHII: "Pervert"?

Shinbo enters.

SHINBO: You were going on and on about panties last night, too.

HIDEKI: Shinbo! How did you know that?!

SHINBO: Well, you are obsessing about panties, panties, right?

HIDEKI: Oh. Was I that loud?

SHINBO: Oh, very loud.

Hideki sighs.

SHINBO: What's so embarrassing about buying panties?

HIDEKI: But there are always so many girls in there and every time I get within five meters of the shop...!

He sighs and looks at Chii.

HIDEKI: She can't be like this forever, you know.

SHINBO: Then why don't you just have Chii-chan go buy them herself?

HIDEKI: Huh...? What makes you think Chii could just casually walk around alone?!

SHINBO: It'll be all right! Because I'll lend you Sumomo.

Sumomo jumps off his shoulder onto the floor.

SUMOMO: Yo!

SHINBO: She has a Navigation Software program installed. If you give her a location, she'll get you there for sure!

HIDEKI: She can do that, too?! Amazing!

CHII: Chii?

HIDEKI: Would you like to go shopping?

CHII: "Shopping"?

HIDEKI: Yeah. [embarrased] To buy p-panties.

CHII: "Panties"?

*** Later ***

Sumomo is "asleep" on Hideki's pillow, as he and Chii sit on the floor looking at a magazine.

HIDEKI: Got it, Chii?

He points to the green underwear of a woman in a picture.

HIDEKI: That's what you're going to buy today.

CHII: Green?

HIDEKI: Nooo!!!! Well, I guess they are green.... I meant what she's wearing!

He points to more lingerie pictures.

HIDEKI: This or that or this.... Understand? These are panties.

CHII: "Panties."

She points to one of the women's underwear.

CHII: Hideki wants this?

HIDEKI: Yes, I want a pair! Can you remember that?

Chii smiles cutely.

CHII: Chii remembers!

Sumomo wakes up and blows her whistle. Hideki screams.

SUMOMO: Ohayo gozaimaaaasu! Let's wake up with exercise!

She toots her whistle energetically as she stretches her arms and does toe-touches. Hideki and Chii cooperate and imitate her movements.

SUMOMO: Finally, let's spread our arms wide! Hai, that's it for today.

Hideki is pleased with himself for completing the exercises, but then gets upset.

HIDEKI: What the heck was that about??!!

SUMOMO: Uwaaah! Kowai!

Hideki picks Sumomo up.

HIDEKI: Shinbo wakes up like this every day...? Anyway, please take care of Chii, Sumomo!

SUMOMO: Aye!

Chii leaves with Sumomo on her shoulder.

CHII: Itte rashai.

HIDEKI: Iee, I'm the one who's supposed to say that. You say "itte kimasu."

CHII: Itte kimasu.

HIDEKI: That's right. Now, don't stop off anywhere, don't talk to strangers, and watch out for cars.

CHII: Stop off, strangers, cars.

HIDEKI: One last question. What will you ask the saleslady?

CHII: Panties, please.

HIDEKI: That's right! Then you give her the money, and she'll give you the panties. Got it?

Chii nods.

CHII: Chii understands. Itte kimasu.

Hideki chuckles and waves as Chii turns and leaves. When she's gone, he stops waving and sighs.

HIDEKI: Will she really be okay?

*** Outside ***

Hibiya is sweeping the sidewalk. Chii comes out the front door.

HIBIYA: Huh? Chii-chan, you're going out alone?

CHII: Chii is going shopping with Sumomo.

HIBIYA: Oh, that's nice. Please be careful.

CHII: Itte kimasu.

Chii walks toward the street. Sumomo blows her whistle.

SUMOMO: Beginning navigation program! Face left!

Chii turns and faces left.

SUMOMO: Now swing your arms energetically!

Chii swings her arms and steps in time with Sumomo's whistle. She begins to chant.

CHII: Pan-ties. Pan-ties. Pan-ties. Pan-ties.

SUMOMO: Hai! Turn right at the next corner!

Chii turns right as instructed and continues chanting.

*** Classroom ***

Hideki is in the middle of a test or an assignment, when he looks out the window and sighs.

SHINBO: Are you worried about Sumomo and Chii?

HIDEKI: Yeah. I wonder if they're okay.

SHIMIZU: What are you guys talking about?

HIDEKI, absently: Panties....

SHIMIZU: "Panties"?

HIDEKI: Yep, panties. It's panties.

He realizes and turns to look at her. He jumps up and blushes.

HIDEKI: Ehhh! Nice weather today, huh?!

SHIMIZU: Oh, yes! So nice that you want to go out and play!

HIDEKI, lying: That's exactly what I was thinking about!

SHIMIZU: The question on page 15.

Hideki sighs.

HIDEKI: Okay.

*** Tokyo ***

Chii is still walking and chanting, but now she's in a busier section of town.

SUMOMO: Turn that way now!

They come to a crosswalk at a stoplight.

SUMOMO: Stop and wait here until it's safe!

A boy rides by on a bicycle. Chii points.

CHII: Bicycle.

SUMOMO: Bing-bong! That's correct!

Chii points at the WALK/DON'T WALK signal.

CHII: Traffic light.

SUMOMO: Bing-bong! Correct again!

Chii points at the crosswalk.

CHII: Pedestrian crossing.

SUMOMO: Bing-bong, bing-bong! Once again, correct!

A truck with a woman wearing panties painted on the side drives by.

CHII: Panties.

SUMOMO: The light is blue now. Walk across and swing those arms!

Chii ignores her and walks in the truck's direction.

SUMOMO: Uwahhh! Warning! You've turned the wrong way! Go back!

*** Classroom ***

Hideki's pencil breaks and he looks terrified.

HIDEKI, thinking: No way.... Chii!

He stands up in his chair.

SHIMIZU: What's wrong?

HIDEKI: I suddenly have a bad feeling....

He turns around to look at Shimizu.

SHIMIZU: Open up to page 21, please.

HIDEKI: Hai.

*** Tokyo ***

Chii catches up to the truck at a stop light.

CHII: Panties.

SUMOMO: Warning! This is not the store!

CHII: But those are what Hideki wants.

SUMOMO: That's just a truck. You cannot buy anything here.

CHII: Cannot buy panties?

Sumomo nods. The truck pulls away.

SUMOMO: Now let's go back! About face!

She blows her whistle, and Chii turns around. A sudden wind blows, and two girls standing behind Chii shriek as their skirts flap up. Chii points.

CHII: Panties!

SUMOMO: Bing-bong, that's correct!

GIRL 1, blushing: What's with this wind?

Chii walks up to them.

GIRLS: Huh?

CHII: Panties.

GIRL 2: Eh?

Chii kneels down and lifts up the second girl's skirt.

CHII: Panties, please.

The girl swats her hand away.

GIRL 2: N.... Nani?!

Sumomo blows her whistle repeatedly.

SUMOMO: Warning! This is also not the store!

CHII: But panties.

SUMOMO: We cannot buy them here, either. Now go back 12 meters and turn that way!

Chii looks at the girls as she walks away.

CHII: panties....

GIRL 2: What's with that persocon????

*** Classroom ***

HIDEKI, to himself: I'm so worried about Chii. Has she managed to buy the panties? Panties. Panties. Panties! Panties!

He stands up in his chair.

HIDEKI: I just know something's wrong!!

SHIMIZU: Yes, well, why don't you try following along with the class? We're on page 23.

HIDEKI: Hai. [crying] Agggh, Chii!

EYECATCH

*** Tokyo ***

Chii is walking and chanting.

SUMOMO: It's only 30 meters from here!

Sumomo chants "one, two," as Chii continues to chant "pan-ties." A cat emerges from a side street and starts to cross the road in front of them. Sumomo blows her whistle.

SUMOMO: Stop!! Please stop here!

Chii stops walking, and the cat crosses the street, followed by its kittens. Chii points.

CHII: Cat.

SUMOMO: Bing-bong! You're correct!! Why don't we count them?

They look at the cats, and Chii notices that one kitten has a pair of panties in its mouth.

CHII: Panties. Panties!

She follows the cats into an alley.

SUMOMO: Warning!!!! That is the wrong way!!!!

The cats go through a hole in a wooden fence. A small jar is sitting next to the hole.

SUMOMO: Warning! Let's go back and go the correct way!

Chii follows the cats through the hole. Sumomo falls off Chii's shoulder and into the jar, head-first. She shrieks and kicks her feet. Chii crawls after the cats as they walk across a yard and stop to clean their fur.

CHII: Chii?

She mimics their movements. The kitten drops the panties and walks away.

CHII: Chii?

She picks up the panties, and sees that it's not panties, but a white handkerchief.

CHII: Not.... Panties. Chii...? Sumomo?

Back in the alley, Sumomo struggles in the jar.

SUMOMO, muffled: I'm stuck and I can't get out!

The jar topples over, and Sumomo pushes against it with her feet and frees herself. She sighs, then looks around.

SUMOMO: Chii-san! Where are you? This is terrible!! She's lost her way!!

A bassett hound comes up behind Sumomo, and she turns around. Sumomo shrieks and tries to run away, but the dog picks her up in its teeth.

SUMOMO: Sumomo is not food!!!! I'm in trouble! Big, big trouble!! Ahhhh! Wahhh!

Chii crawls to the hole in the fence.

CHII: Chii?

SUMOMO: Chii-san, save me!!

MAN'S VOICE: Here, boy! Let's go!

The bassett hound drops Sumomo and returns to its owner. Sumomo sighs.

SUMOMO: That was dangerous.

Chii bends down and picks Sumomo up in her teeth.

SUMOMO: Wahh! I'm telling you, Sumomo is not food!!

*** Lingerie Shop ***

Hideki stands at a distance from the shop, hiding behind a statuary of a man holding a small potted plant.

HIDEKI: She doesn't seem to be there.... Maybe she hasn't gotten here yet.

Two girls come out of the building behind Hideki. (They're the ones Chii encountered before. ><*)

HIDEKI: Ummm, sumimasehn. Have you seen a persocon with ears like this....

He approximates the shape of Chii's ears on his own head.

HIDEKI: ....And a mobile persocon about this size?

He holds his hands apart about eight inches.

GIRL 2: This guy's the owner of that persocon????

HIDEKI: Eh? Uh.... Ummm....

GIRL 1: This is bad! He's taught his persocon such weird things...!

GIRL 2: Let's go!

GIRL 1: Yeah!

They hurry off.

HIDEKI: How come.... Why didn't they tell me anything? Chii couldn't have done something, could she...?

Yumi comes up behind Hideki and throws her arms around his neck.

YUMI: Guess who!!!!

Hideki chokes.

YUMI: Wah! Gomen nasai!

She releases him and he slumps to the ground.

HIDEKI: Y.... Yumi-chan?

YUMI: Sumimasehn! I was trying to cover your eyes! Are you all right, senpai?

Hideki turns around to look at her, but since he's on the ground his face brushes her chest. He turns around, blushing.

HIDEKI, thinking: Her breasts...! Breasts...!

YUMI: Huh? Motosuwa-senpai?

HIDEKI, quietly: They were so soft....

YUMI: It'd be scary if they were hard as rocks.

HIDEKI: Uwahhh! Iee!!!! Ummm!!!! I was talking to myself again...!

YUMI: By the way, what are you doing, senpai?

HIDKEI: I was looking for Chii. Gomen, Yumi-chan! I'll talk to you later.

YUMI: Oh, senpai-!

Hideki runs off. He goes down streets, looking all around.

HIDEKI: Chii, where are you?

He gasps when he sees Chii come around the corner across the street, swinging her arms.

HIDEKI: Chii....

A truck honks its horn as Chii approaches the intersection.

HIDEKI: Chii!!!!

He leaps over the handrail and starts to run to the intersection.

HIDEKI: Chii!!!!

Chii stops at the edge of the street as the truck passes. Hideki watches as Chii looks at the crosswalk.

CHII, to Sumomo: Hideki says you have to cross the road on these crossings.

SUMOMO: That's great!

CHII: Look both ways, and then cross the road while holding your hand up.

Chii looks both ways, then crosses the road holding her hand up.

SUMOMO: That's even greater!

Hideki watches in amazement as Chii crosses the street.

HIDEKI: Chii remembered....

A bus honks its horn, and Hideki realizes he's standing in the middle of the street. He stammers as the bus screeches to a stop and the driver leans out the window.

DRIVER: Baka! Where do you think you're standing?!

HIDEKI: Su.... Sumimasehn!

He runs off. Chii continues walking and chanting.

SUMOMO: Hai, that's the way to go!

Hideki follows them, keeping out of sight. Chii spots a rack of sleazy magazines and points to a scantily-clad girl on a poster.

CHII: Panties! Hideki's model!

Note: The underwear are green just like the first picture Hideki showed her. I guess Chii sees the green and assumes it's the same model.

Hideki falls over in his hiding place.

HIDEKI: What is she doing?! They are green, but...!

CHII: Panties, panties!

Sumomo blows her whistle.

SUMOMO: Warning, warning! That's just a poster! The store is that way.

CHII: Chii.

She turns away from the magazine rack and resumes walking and chanting.

HIDEKI: No wonder she's taken so long....

Hideki continues to follow Chii as she makes her way toward the store. Chii spots some panties drying on someone's balcony.

CHII: Panties, panties!

SUMOMO: Warning!

She blows her whistle. Chii resumes walking and chanting.

HIDEKI, thinking: She's doing well, and the store is nearby. Good job, Chii!

Chii enters the street with the lingerie shop.

SUMOMO: Stop!!!!

Chii does.

SUMOMO: Congratulations!! You've reached your destination!

CHII: You can buy panties here?

SUMOMO: Hai! You can, you can, you can, you can!

HIDEKI, to himself: Good job, Chii! All you have to do now is say what I told you to say to the cashier!

CHII: I'll buy panties.

She starts to walk up to the shop as a woman comes to the front of the store.

WOMAN: Hai! For a limited time only, all items on this table are half-price! Welcome, everyone!

All the women from the street crowd around the basket, pushing Chii.

CHII: Chii!

HIDEKI, quietly: Chii...!

SUMOMO: Uwaaah! Kowai desu! Let us out!

HIDEKI, to himself: Ah-ah, Chii! I hafta help.

He runs up to the crowd of women.

HIDEKI: Chii, are you all right?!

He tries to elbow his way into the crowd.

HIDEKI: Chiiiiii!

He is shoved backward, and falls down on the street. He grabs his arm in pain, then realizes that he is holding a pair of panties.

HIDEKI: Agggh! This is...!

A store clerk recognizes Hideki.

CLERK: S.... S.... Somebody! This person has just been standing in front of our strore just panting and huffing!!!! I could tell he was no good from the start!

HIDEKI: You're mistaken, I'm just.... Ummm....

A policeman walks up and grabs Hideki's shoulder.

POLICEMAN: Yeah, right. That's what they all say. Come with me.

Another policeman runs up and they drag him away.

HIDEKI: You're mistaken! I haven't done anything! I'm innocent! Innocent, I tell you!

The women clear away from the table, revealing Chii hiding beneath it.

CHII: Chii.

SUMOMO: That was dangerous.

Chii emerges from the table and sees that the panties are all gone.

CHII: Panties.... Gone.... Panties!

A store clerk walks by and hears her.

CLERK: Eh?

CHII: Panties! Panties, please.

*** Nighttime ***

Hideki makes his way to his apartment building, dragging his feet.

HIDEKI: That was horrible. Why can't I ever talk straight...? I wonder what happened to Chii after all that.... I hope she made it home safely.

*** Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki enters.

HIDEKI: Tadaima.

CHII: Okaerinasai!

HIDEKI, happily: Chii! I'm so glad you're home. Did you buy the panties?

She nods.

CHII: Chii.

HIDEKI: I see, so you did get them!

Chii opens a small paper bag and pulls out a pair of boxer shorts, with the big letters "GOOD JOB."

HIDEKI: Why.... Guy's...? Ch.... Chii, didn't you say what I told you to say?

CHII: I did. "Panties, please. Hideki wants them."

Note: The fansubber noted that "pantsu," the word for "panties," also refers to underwear in general.

HIDEKI: And they gave you those....

Chii nods.

HIDEKI: So that's how it was....

He sighs.

CHII: Are these the wrong panties?

Hideki grins and pats her head.

HIDEKI: Good job. You did well.

Chii grins.

CHII: Chii!

HIDEKI, to himself, crying: So I have to go back there again???? I have to keep it together!

CHII: Chii?

*** Tokyo ***

Hideki stands outside the lingerie shop, blushing.

HIDEKI: Let's go!

He takes a few steps forward, strains, then runs up to the register.

HIDEKI: I have a request!!!! P.... P.... P.... P.... Panties, please!!!!

The cash register rings, and he dashes out of the store and down the street, screaming.

*** Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki dashes into the apartment.

CHII: Okaerinasai!

Hideki throws the bag on the floor and sinks to his knees.

HIDEKI: She thought I was a pervert!!!! I'm sure the girl at the counter thought I was a pervert!!!! I acted just like a pervert would!!!!

CHII: Chii?

HIDEKI: And when I think about it.... You can buy panties in convenience stores, too!!!! I'm such an idiot!!!! It's the panties' fault!

He rolls around on the floor, clutching his head and sobbing.

HIDEKI: The panties turned me into a pervert!!!!

CHII: "Pervert"?

Hideki continues wailing.

CHII: Hideki's a pervert!

Hideki stops rolling and stares at her. She points at him.

CHII: Pervert! Hideki's a pervert!

HIDEKI: Th.... That's not it, Chii!!!!

CHII: Pervert, pervert!

HIDEKI: Aggggh!
