Youhei Sunohara quotes from Clannad: After Story

Youhei Sunohara

When in midst of love, sisters go out of sight. Love is amazing!

Youhei Sunohara

As long as you're doing what you're supposed to do, you don't have to attend classes. That's the law of society.

Kyou Fujibayashi

You kidding? Of course I'll play with you guys!

Nagisa Furukawa

If we have you on our team Kyou, there's no way we can lose!

Youhei Sunohara

I gotta admit Nagisa, your dad must have a pretty keen eye for talent if he's scouting the great Youhei Sunohara!

Tomoya Okazaki

Yeah, apparently he sensed your amazing athletic abilities with his psychic powers?

Youhei

What can I say? I talent like mine can't help but shine. Even if I try to live a normal life.

Tomoya

[To himself] Well, that didn't take much. Good thing he's so gullible.

Youhei

Say what now?!

Tomoya

I'm just kidding! You're an incredible genius, an incredible athlete, incredibly thin providing incredible protection, even at night!

Youhei

You called it!

Tomoya, do you think I could play baseball with you too?

Tomoya

Uh, do you know the rules, Kotomi?

Kotomi

I think I have a pretty good idea, since I watched you and Tomoyo played against the school team. I've wanted to give it a try ever since.

Youhei

You saw that...?

Kyou

What about you, Ryou? Are you gonna play?

Ryou Fujibayashi

Um, I'll just cheer from the sidelines. Sports aren't exactly my strong point.

Then I guess that makes two people cheering for you! You can't let us down! Okay, Tomoya?

Kyou

[Eying Nagisa and Tomoya] Hm?

Tomoya

What is it now?

Kyou

Oh, it's nothing. Just cute to see you two acting like a couple.

[Embarrassed] Oh, you think so?

It's not like you to call on me like this. Is there something wrong?

Tomoya

Sunohara told me he wants to get nasty with you in public. [Tomoyo kicks Youhei, which causes him to slam face-first into a wall.] I guess I should have known that Tomoyo would pass the strength test with flying colors.

Youhei

[Angry] I'm not your guinea pig, dammit!

What are you talking about?

Nagisa

Thanks for joining the team, Tomoyo. We're happy to have you.

I haven't agreed to anything yet. All I said is that I might join if you could get Misae to join, too.

Tomoya

Misae looks like she's in pretty good shape. We gotta make sure we recruit her no matter what.

Youhei

Don't worry! She'll do it for me! We go way back! [Nagisa sees Yusuke Yoshino working on a telephone pole.]

Nagisa

Oh, isn't that Yusuke Yoshino?

Oh, yeah. The guy from the wedding, right?

Youhei

While we're at it, we might as well ask him to join, too! [He then calls out to Yusuke, waving] Hey! Yoshino! [He doesn't hear him]

Nagisa

I don't think he can hear you.

Youhei

Let's do a "Yoshino call"!

Tomoya

A "Yoshino call"?

Youhei

Yeah, like when you want an encore. He used to be in a rock band, right? We gotta speak his language if we want him to hear us! All together! [Tomoya, Nagisa, Tomoyo, and Youhei start chanting "Yoshino". Yoshino eventually comes down from the pole and smacks Youhei with his worker's helmet.]

Are you making fun of me, punk?!

Youhei

[At Tomoya] Why are all the girls so much better than us? That pitcher's hardcore and they're still getting hits left and right.

Akio Furukawa

No outs with runners on first and third! Who's up next? [Realizes Nagisa is up to bat next.] Oh, right...It's you...I forgot...Do a squeeze play!

Nagisa

Uh, squeeze play? What am I supposed to squeeze?

Akio

Never mind. Just swing the bat, okay? [Nagisa strikes out]

Strike! Batter out!

Nagisa

[At Akio] I'm sorry.

Kotomi

The first pitch has a 62% chance at being a low-inside ball. Bat length: 800mm. Ball size: 70mm. Based on the length of my arms and operating range, combined with my calculation of the ball's speed, I should be able to hit it! [The batter throws the ball and Kotomi barely hits the ball.]

Youhei

A Texas leaguer. Wow.

Tomoya

[Shouting] Run Kotomi! Run! [Kotomi runs for first base.]

Safe!

Kotomi

Alright! I did it!

Youhei Sunohara

Are we eating lunch in the cafeteria?

Tomoya Okazaki

Wait a sec, you just got here, didn't you?

Youhei

Yeah.

Tomoya

Then you gotta make some kind of opening statement. If you don't, it'll throw me off all afternoon.

Youhei

[Irritated] Okay, fine! I'll just start over again! [With a more cheerful tone] Hey, how are you, Okazaki? Where would you enjoy eating lunch today?

Tomoya

Way too eloquent.

Youhei

Huh?

Tomoya

I'm saying that was too eloquent for you. It was so out of character, I don't know how to respond.

Youhei

[Irritated] Then what do you want me to do?!

Tomoya

Try saying "all that, and a toilet." at the end of your sentences. That'll take an edge off the eloquence and make it sound more low-brow like you.

Youhei

[Sighs] Yeah, whatever. Maybe some other time, okay?

Youhei

Huh? Mei's staying at your place again? Are you okay with that?

Nagisa Furukawa

Of course! We don't mind at all! The whole family loves Mei!

Tomoya

And just for the record, she already told your parents and ok'd it with her school back home. She wanted to stick around and keep an eye on you.

Youhei

Huh?

[In Tomoya's flashback] My brother's in his last semester of high school and he still doesn't know what to do with himself. I'd better stay here. I'm too worried to go home.

Tomoya

[At Youhei] Mei said she wants to have a nice, long talk with you so you be ready.

Sunohara, have you ever thought about your future goals or what you want to do with yourself?

Youhei

Hm...Can't say it comes to mind, no. Obviously college is out of the question, so I guess I'll just find any old job and work any old way. But...If I happen to find a responsible girlfriend to look after me, I bet Mei wouldn't be so worried all the time.

Tomoya

Yeah! That's it! [Cuts to Youhei, Tomoya, and Nagisa in the courtyard.] All you gotta do is pretend you're going out with some nice girl. Someone really smart or dependable or whatever. We can introduce her to Mei and she'll stop worrying.

I see what you mean, but it's not good to lie.

Youhei

I know. You think anyone would go for that?

Tomoya

Well, sure. Why not? It's not like you're ugly or anything. Even if you have a rotten personality, you still have a baby face. You appeal to their maternal instinct. You're Baby Sunohara! [Nagisa looks at Youhei with a curious look.]

Youhei

Y-You think so?

Tomoya

Just think. If you and your fake girlfriend happen to hit it off, it might even turn into a real relationship.

Youhei

Whoa! The Okazaki magic, huh?! [Getting extremely determined.] Alright! Bring it on! I'm ready to rock!

[Whispering] Tomoya, are you actually helping him or are you just having fun at his expense?

Tomoya

Uh, a little bit of both, but he'll live.

Nagisa

[To Youhei] Well, Tomoyo is sitting right over there. Why don't you ask her?

Youhei

[Surprised] For real?

Nagisa

Why not? I think she'd make a great girlfriend. She's pretty and caring and smart.

Tomoya

[To Nagisa] I don't know. It might be dangerous. Look at him, he's freaking out.

Youhei

[Nervous. To Tomoya] S-Shut up! W-who's freaking out, huh?!

Nagisa

[To Tomoya] Think we should take him to a doctor?

Tomoya

[Groans. To Youhei] Calm down. Just take a deep breath, okay?

Youhei

[Takes in several breaths] Okay! Time to deliver!

Nagisa

I really think we need to go to the doctor...

Sanae Furukawa

I'm Sanako Isogai; 17 years old. [She bows] Your big brother has taken very good care of me.

[Takes a close look at Sanae] Funny, I feel like we've met somewhere before.

Sanae

This is a small town. We probably just bumped into each other somewhere or another.

You're awful pretty.

Sanae

That's very sweet of you to say.

Huh...A pretty girl like you with my brother...With my brother...With my brother?... [She embraces Sanae] You poor thing!

Youhei

[Angry] What's that supposed to mean?!

Tomoya Okazaki

Alright, there's the Old Man.

Youhei Sunohara

Oh, man. I'm really starting to freak out right now!

Tomoya

You gonna give up?

Youhei

I shan't, for Sanae is my angel and I would face the fires of Hell for her love!

Tomoya

Alright then...Good luck with that. [Youhei walks over to Akio.]

Youhei

Hello, sir!

Akio Furukawa

Oh, you're that Sunohara kid, right? What's up? Here to buy some bread?

Youhei

Sir, please allow me to marry your sweet Sanae. [He bows]

Akio

[Confused] Huh?

Sanae Furukawa

What's wrong, honey? You look upset. [Tomoya starts laughing.]

Youhei

Honey?!

Nagisa Furukawa

Tomoya, you mean after all this time, you still haven't told Sunohara the truth about my mom?

Youhei

Your mom?! Say what?!

Sanae

That's right. Akio and I are husband and wife.

Youhei

[Surprised] WHAT?!

Akio

You trying to make a move on my woman, punk?! You're gonna die! [Akio chases after Youhei, screaming.] Get back here!

Tomoya

[narrating] It's funny. I'll never forget the first time I met Sunohara. [Shows a flashback of Tomoya walking down the hall with Mr. Komura and Youhei comes out of the teachers office.] Some weird guy with bleached hair and bandages. I couldn't help laughing the moment I saw him. Actually, I think that was the first time I laughed since I came to that school. He might have looked stupid, but it was the kind of stupid I wanted in on. Not much of a story, but that's how we met. Ever since then, we've been together all the time. Ever since then, we've been laughing...and we still are now.

[together] Happy birthday, Nagisa.

I hope you have many more to come.

Youhei Sunohara

Happy birthday and Merry Christmas!

Kyou

Sure are cheerly despite getting turned down cold. In case you didn't hear, he actually sent an application to a modeling agency.

Youhei

I can do whatever I want! I'm moving back home next year, so I'll just end up getting a job there either way!

Tomoya Okazaki

Nagisa.

Nagisa Furukawa

Hm?

Tomoya

Here, I got you a Birthday/Christmas present.

Really? It's a Dango!

Tomoya

Hm?

Thank you so much, Tomoya. Thank you guys for coming here to visit me. I know I'm not worth much, but...

Akio Furukawa

Don't talk about yourself like that, Nagisa. We love you. You're just as important as anyone else in this family.

Kotomi

Uh-huh.

Kyou

That's right.And not only that, you're a wonderful friend to all of us, too.

Akio

I know you think of yourself as a burden sometimes. But as long as you're happy, we're happy, too. So please be happy, Nagisa, for us.

I'm sorry, you guys. Okay. I'll try my best.

Youhei

He-he.

Tomoya

[narrating] It was Christmas Eve, Nagisa's birthday. It was also the day when Nagisa decided that she was going to repeat her last year of school. After the New Year, fewer seniors bothered coming to class. I spent my time with Nagisa. Even though she was small, and even though she was frail, she always tried her best. And I wanted to try my best to protect her for the rest of my life.
