This is a flashback episode. There's no NEED to read it. I'm just going to copy and paste crap from the old transcripts anyway. :P

Chobits Episode 09 - Shinbo and Sumomo Talk

OPENING THEME MUSIC: "Let Me Be With You"

TITLE SCREEN

*** Shinbo's Apartment ***

Shinbo is writing. Sumomo sits on a book, holding up a screen.

Note: I just made a funny typo. "Shnibo." SHNIIIIIIIIBO! Hee-hee. Sorry.

SUMOMO: Warning! Warning! Warning! Space left on the hard drive is running out! At this rate, programs may cease to operate! I recommend that all extra record files be deleted.

SHINBO: Oh, yeah, I guess I have been installing a lot of things lately.

SUMOMO: Shall I go through the recorded data?

SHINBO: Yeah, please.

Her eyes flash.

SUMOMO: I got a hit! The first item listed in the memory files is "Congratulations, Motosuwa-kun" song!

SHINBO: What's that?

SUMOMO: You prepared it a while back.

SHINBO: I did? Oh, was it when he moved in?

He remembers....

*** Retrospect - Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki opens the door.

HIDEKI: Hai-?

SUMOMO jumps at him and lands on his face. Shinbo shoots confetti at him. Hideki falls backward. Sumomo (still on his face) shakes a tambourine and dances around.

SUMOMO: Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on moving!

Hideki sits up suddenly, throwing Sumomo forward.

HIDEKI: What is this?!

Sumomo clings to Shinbo's shirt.

SUMOMO: Master, kowai desu!

SHINBO: Aw, did he scare you?

HIDEKI: ....Huh....?

SHINBO: Hajimemashite. I'm Shinbo Hiromu, from apartment 1045.

HIDEKI: Oh, then you're the one who brought the boxes in!

SHINBO: Yeah, yeah.

HIDEKI: Shinbo-san, arigatou gozaimashita!

SHINBO: Just call me "Shinbo." There's no need for formalities. How old are you?

HIDEKI: Uh, eighteen.

SHINBO: Then we're the same age!

HIDEKI: You're eighteen?

SHINBO: Yeah, and starting next week, you're going to cram school, right?

Hideki nods.

SHINBO: Same here!

GIRL: The middle row!

HIDEKI, happily: Really?

SHINBO: Yeah, yeah. Nice to meet you.

They shake hands.

*** Reality ***

SHINBO: And he said he found his persocon that day, too.

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hideki walks home, talking to himself.

HIDEKI: Ohhh, a persocon would be nice. And since I'm dreaming, a really kawaii one would be nice. But there's no way that'll happen.

He approaches a portion of the street illuminated by a streetlamp. He walks past a pile of garbage bags, and notices Chii lying on them. Her eyes are closed and she is wrapped in white strips of cloth.

*** Retrospect - Hideki's Apartment ***

Chii's eyes open. She floats and looks up at the ceiling. The strips of cloth come off as "Let Me Be With You" plays. Hideki stares.

*** Retrospect - Later ***

Shinbo and Hideki are in Hideki's apartment looking at the television screen. It comes on, showing "\:NO DATA"

HIDEKI: Oh, there it is! What does "no data" mean?

SHINBO, voice-over: Finding the persocon's specs was a bit hard.

SHINBO: When it says "no data," it means that the data must have been lost or hasn't been installed yet.

HIDEKI: I see. [thinking] I don't understand at all!

SHINBO: I guess there's no choice. I'll have Sumomo run a check.

He pulls a cord out of Sumomo's head.

SHINBO: I'm going to connect this to her for a bit.

He connects the cord to Chii's head and puts Sumomo on her shoulder.

SHINBO: I'll leave it to you, Sumomo.

SUMOMO: Aye!

She holds up a tiny computer screen, and her eyes flash. There is a whirring sound, and Sumomo's eyes go blank. She convulses, then falls over.

SHINBO: Agggh! It short-circuited! My mobile is...! Sumomo's gone!

HIDEKI: What do you mean?

SHINBO: Sumomo is broken!!!!

He sobs and clutches Sumomo.

HIDEKI: Ohhh....

*** Retrospect - Later ***

SHINBO, crying: It's a type never marketed to the public. It looks like it's got a great CPU. There's no other way of explaining it.... Someone built it themselves.

HIDEKI: You can build persocons by hand?

SHINBO, crying: Yeah. This guy really knows a lot about this kind of stuff, so.... He might know something.

*** Retrospect - Minoru's House ***

Hideki walks up to the house and opens the front door.

HIDEKI: I'm sorry for the intrusion-

Four scantily-clad persocon maids bow. Hideki pinches his nose.

HIDEKI, thinking: Don't bleed!

Minoru comes down the stairs.

MINORU: Getting a bloody nose looking at my persocons, huh? Motosuwa Hideki-san?

HIDEKI: Yeah. And you are...?

MINORU: Kokobunji Minoru. Pleased to meet you.

*** Retrospect - Later ***

The four maid persocons have been connected to Chii. They collapse.

HIDEKI: What's going on? They were only connected for a little while. Will they be all right?

MINORU: Yeah, but it looks like there wasn't enough machine power ro examine her.

He unplugs the cord from the Chii's ear.

HIDEKI: Not enough with four persocons?!

YUZUKI: Please allow me to try.

Yuzuki appears in the doorway.

MINORU: Yuzuki!

HIDEKI: Oh, excuse me. My name is Motosuwa Hideki.

YUZUKI: Hajimemashite, Motosuwa-san. I am Yuzuki.

HIDEKI: Ummm, are you Kokobunji-san's onee-san?

YUZUKI: Iee. I am a persocon designed by Minoru-sama.

HIDEKI: Ehhh?

Yuzuki looks at the four unconscious persocons.

YUZUKI: Minoru-sama, you want to know more about her abilities, right?

Minoru nods reluctantly.

MINORU: Yeah.

Yuzuki pulls a cord out of her discreet ears and walks over to Chii. She plugs the cord into her ear and sits down beside her.

YUZUKI: Pleased to meet you.

Chii: Chii?

Yuzuki's eyes flash. There is a high-pitched whirring sound.

HIDEKI: That sound.... Is it coming from her?

CHII: Chii...?

Yuzuki's eyes go blank, and she falls over.

*** Reality ***

SHINBO: That was pretty close back then.

SUMOMO: Aye! The data almost got corrupted.

SHINBO: No kidding. Ever since he came, things have gotten pretty loud and hectic.

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hibiya is sweeping.

HIBIYA: Pron?

HIDEKI: Ahhh! Ummm, you know, ummm....

He giggles nervously and turns around. The piece of paper he'd been holding flutters up and lands in the Hibiya's hands.

HIDEKI, thinking: Why did I have to say that in front of such a pretty woman???? [aloud] Oh, yeah, I'm looking for an apartment building. Do you know where it is?

SHe looks at the paper.

HIDEKI: It's called Kabu Jougasaki. Isn't that a weird name?

WOMAN, kindly: The place is here. This is Kabu Jougasaki.

HIDEKI: Oh, so this is the place, huh?

He looks at the building behind her and gasps.

WOMAN: You're Motosuwa Hideki-san, right?

HIDEKI: H.... Hai.

WOMAN: I'm kanrinin Hibiya Chitose.

*** Retrospect - Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki opens the door. Hibiya is there.

HIDEKI: Kanrinin-san?! Wh.... What is it?

HIBIYA: I made some kinpira. I hope you like it.

HIDEKI: For me?

HIBIYA: Hai.

HIDEKI: Ohhh, arigatou gozaimasu!

HIBIYA: I made a bit too much. I hope it's no trouble.

HIDEKI: Of course it's no trouble!

Chii gets off the bag of clothes and goes to the door.

HIDEKI: I don't mind. It's really okay!

He shakes his head. Chii mimics his movements.

HIBIYA: I'm glad! I'll bring you some the next time I make something tasty, too.

HIDEKI: You will?

HIBIYA: Sure, if it's not a problem.

HIDEKI: Hehhh! I'd really appreciate that!

He bows, and Hibiya notices Chii.

HIDEKI: Arigatou gozaimasu! You're a big help! You're the best!

He bows again, and Chii mimics him.

HIBIYA: Ohhh?

Hideki realizes that Chii is standing in plain sight.

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hibiya is sweeping. Hideki notices that Chii's shirt is falling down around her shoulders.

HIDEKI: Oh, no, I found her last night so I haven't gotten her any clothes or anything yet...! Please don't think I'm some perverted guy!!!!

HIBIYA: Ummm, if it's all right, I can give her some of my clothes.

HIDEKI: Eh? Really? Arigatou gozaimasu!

CHII: Chii.

HIBIYA: Please stop by my room on your way back, okay?

*** Retrospect - Classroom ***

Hideki and Shinbo are in their seats. Shimizu enters.

SHIMIZU: Okay, everyone, take your seats! My name is Shimizu Takako. I'm in charge of classical literature, English, and math. I'll be helping you all study for the next term. Let's do well, okay?

*** Retrospect - Later ***

Hideki is staring out the window.

HIDEKI: 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.

*** Retrospect - Later ***

Hideki stands in the back of the classroom.

HIDEKI: Sumimasehn!! I'm late!!

He bows. Shimizu points out the door.

SHIMIZU: Go run ten laps around the playground.

HIDEKI: Oh...?

SHIMIZU: Hurry up!

HIDEKI: Hai!

He runs off down the hallway. Shimizu pokes her head out the door.

SHIMIZU: No, no, I was just joking!

HIDEKI: Oh? Really?

SHIMIZU: There's no playground at cram school. I like your innocent obedience, though!

She hits his forehead with her fist, then pushes his nose with her finger. Hideki blushes.

SHIMIZU: I'll forgive you this time.

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hideki is at a newsstand, looking at a job-hunting magazine.

HIDEKI, thinking: My goal salary is Ľ100,000 per month. If possible, near the Ichiba market or my apartment. Oh, hey, there's a lot of them! All right! [aloud] Somehow I'll get a job today, and say goodbye to my poor days! And also, for a bright future with my persocon! I'll do my best!!!!

*** Retrospect - Later ***

Yumi empties water all over Hideki's pants.

HIDEKI: Wh.... What?!

YUMI: Ummm.... Oh! Gomen nasai!!!! I wasn't paying attention!

HIDEKI: Iee, it's all right. Don't worry about it.

YUMI: Oh, no, I can't do that! Really, I can't believe myself....

She takes his hand.

YUMI: Really, sumimasehn! Come this way, please!

*** Retrospect - Yorokonde Tavern ***

TENCHOU: Feel like wearing those clothes a little longer?

HIDEKI: Euh?

TENCHOU: Do you feel like working here for a while?

HIDEKI: Really? [thinking] I did it, I did it! I found a job! Now I'll be able to afford to live! So long, poverty! My life with my persocon is now complete! [aloug] Be happy, Chii!

Note: That last part was actually a different part of the episode, but I didn't feel like putting up a new subheading... ^^

*** Retrospect - Later ***

Hideki glances at Yumi's breasts.

HIDEKI, thinking: High school students these days grow so well....

YUMI: I'm an E-cup if you're wondering.

HIDEKI: Ugh! Wh.... Why do you say that?! Did I say that out loud?!

YUMI: Well, you were looking, senpai.

HIDEKI: Uhhh.... Well, I wasn't looking with perverted intentions or anything!

YUMI: None? At all?

HIDEKI: Iee, I'd be lying if I said I had none, but I wasn't thinking of doing anything! Agh, what am I saying?! I don't understand anymore!

He puts his head down on the table in defeat.

YUMI: Senpai is kawaii.

HIDEKI, weakly: Y.... Yorokonde....

EYECATCH

*** Shinbo's Apartment ***

SHINBO: What else is there, Sumomo?

SUMOMO: Aye! The second item listed in the record files is from the trip to the panties store!

SHINBO: Panties?! Oh, it's him again.

*** Retrospect - Hideki's Apartment ***

Hideki points to 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!

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Sumomo is sitting on Chii's shoulder.

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. Pan-ties. Pan-ties.

Chii spots a rack of sleazy magazines and points to a scantily-clad girl on a poster.

CHII: Panties! Hideki's model!

Hideki falls over in his hiding place. He 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!

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!

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.

HIDEKI, quietly: Chii...!

SUMOMO: Uwaaah! Kowai-desu! Let us out!

Hideki 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!

Two policemen drag Hideki away.

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

*** Retrospect - 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."

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!

*** Reality ***

SHINBO: And what's next?

SUMOMO: The incident with the peep house and information on recharging persocons.

SHINBO: Oh, yeah, that time.... Ah, isn't it more about that guy?

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hideki runs down the street with Chii on his back.

HIDEKI, thinking: There are usually people at Yorokonde until 2 o'clock. There must be someone left!

Hideki walks up to a very steep embankment. He clambers up, using the spaces between the blocks as handholds. Panting, he stands up at the top.

HIDEKI: We did it! Chii, we did it!

He loses his balance. As he falls, he grabs Chii and shields her.

*** Retrospect - Hibiya's Apartment ***

Chii is lying on the floor, plugged in to the adapter.

HIDEKI: Chii? Are you okay, Chii?

She opens her eyes.

CHII: Hideki....

HIDEKI: I'm glad. Everything's okay now. We'll have to thank Hibiya-san properly later.

Chii reaches up and touches Hideki's cheek.

CHII: Warm. Hideki is warm. Very warm. Chii, happy.

HIDEKI: Chii.

He touches her bangs.

*** Reality ***

SHINBO: Now that I think about it, he really treasures his persocon.

SUMOMO: Aye!

*** Retrospect - Minoru's House ***

Yuzuki's eyes flash, and a new window pops up on Minoru's screen.

MINORU: What.... Does this mean?

The screen shows video of Chii sitting on a chair in an empty room.

MINORU: Yuzuki, e-mail Shinbo-san.

*** Retrospect - Yorokonde Tavern ***

WAITER: Motosuwa-kun! You have a visitor!

SHINBO: Motosuwa!!!!

Hideki remembers his conversation with Chii that morning.

CHII, in past: "Money"? Is it good to have that?

HIDEKI: Where is that place?! Where is that building?!

SHINBO: Calm down! I've inputted the address into Sumomo, so have her direct you.

*** Retrospect - Street ***

Hideki runs toward the peep house where Chii is undressing. He crosses a zebra crossing on a red light and stops two cars.

DRIVER: Idiot!!

HIDEKI: Sumimasehn. [thinking] Chii....

He stumbles on some garbage cans. A blinding light appears from a window above.

HIDEKI: W.... What's that? Chii!

He runs up several flights of stairs toward the light. Upstairs, the man who accosted Chii is lying on the floor. The wall has been blown open, and the wind blows. Elsewhere, Chii's foot comes to rest delicately on a roof. She leaps away, eyes closed.

Hideki shakes the man who accosted Chii.

HIDEKI: Chii, where is Chii?!

The man doesn't respond. He seems catatonic.

HIDEKI: Where could she have gone?

*** Retrospect - Elsewhere ***

Chii is standing on top of a tall clock. Hideki runs.

HIDEKI: Chii?

He and Sumomo look around.

HIDEKI: Where'd you go, Chii?! Answer me!

SUMOMO: Where did she go?

HIDEKI: Damn, where is she?!

He stops and pants.

HIDEKI: Hey, Sumomo, can you call Minoru-kun once more?

Sumomo is limp in his pocket.

HIDEKI: Hey, what's wrong, Sumomo? Are you okay, Sumomo? Sumomo! You aren't broken, are you? Hey!

Somewhere, Chii continues leaping across buildings while Hideki walks through the crowd. He glances up and sees Chii leap across the street above him.

HIDEKI: Chii!

He runs after her.

HIDEKI: Chii! Chii! Chii, can't you hear me?!

Chii stops leaping and stands on a streetlight. She closes her eyes and starts to fall forward into the water below.

HIDEKI: Chii!!!!

She opens her eyes.

CHII: Hideki.

She continues to fall. Hideki jumps up and catches her.

*** Retrospect - Taxi ***

DRIVER: It must have frozen a while back. Persocons are convenient, but it probably cost you a lot.

HIDEKI: Yeah, kinda. But Chii is my precious persocon.

He looks at Chii "sleeping" in the seat next to him. Now there is a montage of silly scenes from the series so far (yeah, all eight episodes *rolleyes*).

*** Reality ***

SHINBO: In the end, he's basically a loud, clumsy guy. Plus he's ignorant and talks to himself all the time. And it's really tiring to be around him.

SUMOMO: Master! I'm awaiting your instructions for the data deletion.

SHINBO: Iee, leave it all there.

SUMOMO: Huh?

SHINBO: I'll add more storage capacity tomorrow.

Sumomo giggles.

SUMOMO: Aye!

She shuts down.

SHINBO: After all, they're memories. I'll have to return it to him sometime.
