Yuichi quotes from Kanon

Jun

Yo, Aizawa!

Yuichi

Morning, Kitagawa. You're wearing the same clothes again.

Jun

[Laughs] Of course I am, for it is a uniform. You wear the same clothes every day, too.

Yuichi

[Laughs] Mine may seem the same, but I actually change them every day.

Jun

[Laughs] To tell you the truth, I do, as well. [Both laugh]

Nayuki

Yuichi, it's after school.

Yuichi

Yeah, I could care less about it right now.

Nayuki

You should care about it. We're going home together today.

Yuichi

Who is?

Nayuki

You are.

Yuichi

With whom?

Nayuki

With me.

Yuichi

Why?

Nayuki

Because we promised.

Yuichi

Who did?

Nayuki

You did.

Yuichi

With whom?

Nayuki

With me.

Yuichi

Why?

Nayuki

Because we promised.

Yuichi

Who did?

Jun

You guys, don't you have anyone to stop you two?

Yuichi

I was actually hoping you would.

Yuichi

Just to be sure, do you own a dress?

Ayu

A dress? Why?

Yuichi

What were you listening to? I said a dress for a dance festival.

Ayu

I don't understand.

Yuichi

You're the last hope I had. At this rate, you'll always stay an "uguu".

Nayuki

Yuichi, if you ask like that, you'll only confuse her more.

Ayu

That's right. It's been a while since we last met, and what's with the strange question right off the bat?

Nayuki

And it was very rude, too.

Ayu

Yeah, yeah, Yuichi-kun, you're really rude.

Yuichi

Looks like we made it.

Nayuki

We still have ten minutes until class starts. It's a new record.

Yuichi

It's a miracle.

Kaori

[Walks up to them] Listening to your conversation, it sounds like miracles are really cheap.

Nayuki

Good morning Kaori.

Yuichi

I was sure we were going to be late today, and yet to have ten minutes to spare is a miracle.

Kaori

Aizawa-kun. Miracles aren't supposed to happen that easily.

Ayu

I wonder if I'll be as beautiful as Nayuki-san when I grow up.

Yuichi

Nayuki is as old as we are.

Ayu

Eh?! Ugū, what a shock.

Yuichi

Don't worry about it. You have your own merits.

Ayu

Like what?!

Yuichi

You can get on the train with children's fare.

Ayu

That doesn't make me happy at all!

Yuichi

You can wear clothes from when you were small, no matter how many years pass.

Ayu

I'm growing a little!

Yuichi

It's not embarrassing to order the kid's meal.

Ayu

That's actually kind of good.

Yuichi

So don't let it worry you.

Ayu

It does!

Jun

Aizawa, Minase, check this out!

Nayuki

What's that Kitagawa-kun?

Jun

My outfit for the dance. I'm on the committee, so I have to keep the party wild.

Yuichi

Committee? You?

Jun

Yeah! I'll catch all the eyes in the hall with this.

Kaori

I think you can...in more ways than one.

Jun

Don't you think? I got this so I can dance with you.

Kaori

I'm not participating in it.

Jun

EH?!

Kaori

I'm going to hang out with Nayuki today.

Ayu

Hey, your cousin Nayuki's really pretty.

Yuichi

What made you think of that?

Ayu

I've been thinking of it for a while. I've felt that way ever since I first met her. She's pretty and she's nice. I think she's a beautiful person.

Yuichi

Seriously? I only see how absent-minded she is every day, so I don't really get that.

Ayu

You know, I hope that someday I can be as beautiful and nice a person as Nayuki is.

Yuichi

She's the exact same age as us. You know that, right?

Ayu

[Shocked] What...? Really?

Yuichi

Don't sweat stuff like that. I'm sure you probably have a few good points, too.

Ayu

Good points like what?

Yuichi

You can ride the train with the children's fare.

Ayu

[Angry] That's not a good thing!

Yuichi

You can wear the same clothes you did when you were eleven.

Ayu

[Still angry] I've grown a little since then!

Yuichi

Nobody looks at you funny when you order off the children's menu.

Ayu

You know, you really have a good point there.

Yuichi

See? There's nothing to stress about.

Ayu

[Angry] I'm not stressing!

Ayu

[Screams] Oh, it's just you.

Yuichi

What are you so jumpy for? You think I was some kind of spooky ghost or something?

Ayu

[Waving arms frantically] NO! NO! DON'T DO THAT!

Yuichi

Don't do what?

Ayu

Don't you know when you talk about ghosts, you summon them to come to them! And that's why you're never supposed talk about ghosts!

Yuichi

Okay, and how many times do you think you just said the word "ghost"?

Ayu

[Yelps] [Worryingly] What have I done? What's gonna happen to me?

Yuichi

Oh, come on worrywart, nothing's gonna happen. By the way, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?

Ayu

I-I uh...

Yuichi

You were looking for that thing you lost, weren't you?

Ayu

[Yelling] I was not!

Ayu

You're cruel to make me go back alone when you made me come!

Yuichi

I have to be with Mai, so sorry.

Ayu

Ugū, I don't have the courage.

Yuichi

If you stay here, ghosts will show up.

Ayu

Ugū!

Yuichi

Stand up straight. You're an adult aren't you?

Ayu

It's not fair to say that only at times like this.

Yuichi

Use your Ugū power!

Ayu

You're not making any sense!

Yuichi

Bored out of my mind. Wanna play Shiritori or something?

Mai

Okay. Sure.

Yuichi

[Surprised] You seriously wanna play?

Mai

You were the one who suggested it.

Yuichi

Okay, diaper.

Mai

Perambulation.

Yuichi

Uh...

Mai

Another round?

Yuichi

Uh....Alright. Riches.

Mai

Chestnut.

Yuichi

Nutty.

Mai

Tired.

Yuichi

Restless sleep.

Mai

Lionization.

Yuichi

Uh...

Mai

Lion.

Yuichi

It doesn't help if you change the word to something else that ends in "n"!

Sayuri

Do you know the name of this song?

Yuichi

No. Though I often hear it...

Sayuri

It's Canon. Pachelbel's Canon.

Yuichi

Canon?

Sayuri

The same melody repeats itself as the song grows richer and more beautiful. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could live seemingly constant lives while experiencing little changes bit by bit...

Yuichi

I'm home.

Ayu

Welcome back, Yuichi-kun.

Yuichi

Hey, how was Akiko-san's jam?

Ayu

[Short pause and now nervous] That was something other than "food".

Yuichi

[Makes a quick smirk] So you thought so, too.

Ayu

[Shocked and close to tears] So you knew! Ugū, you could have told me.

Yuichi

But it looks to be good for one's health. It could work as an anti-cancer drug.

Ayu

Ugū!

Yuichi

So I guess Sayuri knew what we were doing after all. She only pretended not to know. She was keeping secrets from us just like we were from her. She could never show it, but she must have been so worried about us. [Mai grabs her sword from Yuichi and goes on a rampage.] Mai! Stop it! [Yuichi restrains her.] Please, calm down!

Mai

It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Sayuri didn't do anything! It's all my-

Yuichi

No, if it's anyone's fault, it's mine. I should have told Sayuri the truth a long time ago.

Mai

It's the same thing again. Why am I the only one who gets off easy while everyone else around me suffers?! Why is it always that I'm the only one?!

Yuichi

Calm down, Mai! No! [Mai puts the tip of the sword to her neck.] Idiot! [Yuichi swats Mai's sword from her hand and it flies away. Then, Yuichi grabs Mai by the head to reveal tears streaming down her face.] Now you listen to me; destroying yourself isn't going to achieve anything! It just means you'll lose everything! Is that what you want? To lose me and Sayuri and everything we built together? Answer me, Mai!

Mai

I don't wanna lose anybody else...

Yuichi

Then why don't you and I go back to school right now? We'll put an end to all this demon business tonight, and then you can start blaming yourself, okay? Okay?! Listen to me!

Mai

I'll do whatever you think is the right thing.

Yuichi

Mai! Mai, don't die on me. Mai... [Yuichi picks her up and holds her] Mai! How could this... [Yuichi starts weeping]

Yuichi. [Yuichi looks up and see's Mai's younger inner self.]

It's fine, since you came after all. You won't go anywhere this time?

Yuichi

Yeah, since we're friends.

You will be my friend? You won't be afraid of me?

Yuichi

I promise. [Mai's younger inner self smiles and Yuichi notices a change in Mai's wound.] The wound is closed. You saved her?

I think I can go back now. I think she can accept me.

Yuichi

You're...Mai's...

I'm a fragment of Mai's power. But I want you to call me by this name: "Hope". [Mai's younger inner self turns and disappears.]

Yuichi

Mai. Get up, Mai. It's time for you to wake up from your dream.

Yuichi

Shiori. [Shiori turns and and sees them]

Shiori

Yuichi-san.

Ayu

[Ayu runs up to Shiori with Yuichi close behind] It's been a while!

Shiori

Are you both sick?

Yuichi

Visiting a friend. There is a saying: "Ugū never gets sick." [This is a joke on the actual phrase "Idiots never get sick."]

Ayu

There is no such saying!
