Taniguchi, Kyon and others in “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 1”

Hey, Kyon. You need to tell me what kind of magic spell you're using!

What're you talking about?

I have never seen Suzumiya talk that long before, and I'm not exaggerating, man! The hell'd you say to her?

[Thinking] Huh...Wonder what I could have said to her...I think it was all pretty random stuff.

This is a phenomenon.

Kyon's always gone after the strange ones. The weirder the better.

Little louder, please, so everyone can hear you. [Ryoko approaches Kyon]

I wanna know how you did it. No matter how much I try to talk to her, I can't get Haruhi to answer any of my questions. What do you do to get her to open up? Do you have any tips for me?

[Crosses arms] No idea.

Hm...Still, I think it's a good thing. I've been sort of worried about her always completely alone in our class. I think it's really great that she's made at least one friend here.

A friend, huh?

Well, just keep doing whatever you're doing, 'cause maybe she'll warm up to the rest of us. I mean, since we're all in the same class, it'd really be for the best if everyone got along. And that's why I'm counting on you.

[Thinking] Easy for you to say.

In fact, from now on, if there's ever anything we need to say to her, we'll just talk to you and you can tell her for us.

[Aloud] Hey, hang on a sec. What do you think I am? Am I supposed to be your spokesperson or something?

[Folds hands and closes an eye.] Pretty please? [Runs back over to a group of girls who giggle in Kyon's direction. Taniguchi then grabs Kyon by the shoulders and starts rocking him back and forth.]

Kyon, we're buddies, aren't we? We're pals, right?

[Thinking] Everyone's turned into an idiot.
