TV show quotes
[grading Kuwabara's test] This can't be right! That garbage-brain actually scored more than fifty points! [to himself] If that brat had only missed one more question...! Now he's thrown the whole plan into the sewer!
[tapping Akashi on the shoulder] Let me show you a different method of grading. [erasing one of Kuwabara's answers] You see, Mr. Akashi? There really wasn't an answer written there. You've made a mistake.
Yes, I see.
[Akashi has just given back Kuwabara's doctored test]
[in disbelief] No! That's wrong!
And what's really painful is that you were so close! But I'm afraid a promise is a promise, young man. I'll go notify Okubo's employers.
But I checked it!
Oh well. I guess there are many things you can't do right. [walks away]
[thinking] I know this isn't right! I checked all the answers myself! [notices the answer that Akashi erased] I...I don't believe it! That no-good teacher erased my last answer! Who does he think he is?! [runs after Akashi in a rage] I'll show you!
[Kuwabara charges Akashi and grabs him by his collar, cocking his fist back to strike]
[yelling and grabbing Kuwabara's wrist] Kuwabara, stop! I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm gonna say this! Just remember Okubo! All the poundings you took for him! Punch this teacher, and all that's erased! Kuwabara!
[Kuwabara hesitates, then lets go of Akashi]
[Akashi is laughing on the floor as Kuwabara trudges away, disappointed at his test score]
[walking up behind Akashi] Find something funny, Mr. Akashi?
[hurriedly standing up] Did you see that, Mr. Takenaka? That hoodlum nearly wrung my neck!
Yes, and I think if someone had corrupted my answer sheet the way that you and Mr. Iwamoto did to that boy, I would've wrung your neck too!
[taken aback] But wait! I don't know what you mean!
[grabbing Akashi by the collar] I'm sure that you know how precious the honor system is at this junior high so I'd appreciate it greatly if you didn't lie to my face! Now, you're going to correct that score immediately!
Of course!
[After Kuwabara's test is corrected and Takenaka lets Okubo keep his job, Yusuke and Botan watch the four boys walk away]
I tried to stop him from hittin' that teacher as a reflex. I didn't think he'd hear me.
Kuwabara didn't really hear what you said to him, you know.
Say what?
They can't hear words unless they're asleep, but you can communicate feelings to living people when they're on the same emotional wavelength. See? You reached Kuwabara with your feelings.
Hey, gimme a break! Everything's going fine and then you have to get mushy!
[amused] You don't have to be embarrassed.
[the pair notice Kuwabara looking up in their direction]
Shut up, will you? I think he can hear us talking about him!
Don't worry Yusuke, he definitely can't see us or hear us, though there's a good chance he can feel you after what you went through together.
[quietly] Thank you, man.
Now are we absolutely certain that Keiko wants Yusuke to come back to life again? After all, there's a great deal of manpower involved in making one of these life recoveries run smoothly. There's no point in doing it if the people closest to you don't care!
Hey, look. This ordeal thing wasn't my idea, so don't throw me a guilt trip. And as for Keiko, how am I supposed to know? It's clear that if she had any sense she'd want me gone.
She wants you back.
You think so? [squishes his face with his hands, mocking Keiko] She always looks at me like this. 'Hey Yusuke, come to school!' 'Hey Yusuke, that's not the right uniform!' [takes his hands away] Yeah, she probably just wants me around so she can yell at me and get a better reputation with her teachers.
Why do you say things you don't mean? You know she only scolds you because she actually cares about you. Sayaka, I've learned not to listen to him most of the time. He's just embarrassed, is all. He's got the cutest crush on Keiko!
Botan! Why don't you nail your stupid mouth shut?!
Why don't you get over your stupid cuties and admit that you like her, Yusuke?!
Hmm...smart, athletic, friendly but stern with her friends...her scores are next to perfect! This attraction between Yusuke and Keiko must obviously be one-sided.
I can hear you.
The house is on fire.
Yes, it seems so.
My house is on fire! My mom didn't even have the decency to lock the windows for me!
Yusuke, uh, maybe we should focus on other things.
Keiko, forget about me! You're a lot more important to this world than I am! Don't be stupid! Go back!
You do know that without your body you can't come back, don't you?
What's the point of being alive if Keiko has to get killed for it?
Botan! Please, there's gotta be something I can do!
I'm sorry, Yusuke. I've tried everything in my power.
There is one way...but you may not be willing to do it.
I'll decide that for myself! Tell me!
You can save her life by using the power that's been gathered by the Spirit Beast you've been carrying with you.
What? [pulls out the egg] You mean this little guy?
Throw it in the fire, and it will unleash from the egg and save her.
And that's all I have to do? Why didn't you say so?
But if you hatch the Spirit Beast now, before it's ready, it won't be able to perform its usual duties.
So does that mean...if he saves Keiko's life, the beast won't be able to bring Yusuke back?
Right. Yusuke will never have a chance to be alive in this world again.
So my life for hers, huh? I wish someone had told me this morning that I'd make this kind of choice.
Your time is short, I'm afraid.
[looking at the egg in his hand] Oh well...it was a good dream. [turns and throws the egg into the fire] KEIKO!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YUSUKE'S BODY?!
I promise I'll tell you everything, but not right now. We've got to get him somewhere safe.
ARE YOU SOME TYPE OF SICK GRAVE-ROBBER?! [throws Yusuke's body over his shoulder and grabs Keiko's hand, running down the street] Well, come on! We can't let the police get a hold of you!
Yusuke...things aren't going to be so easy on you for a while. You can't just wander around here anymore; I'll have to take you back. I don't know who Keiko will love in the future, but you cannot interfere. There's no point in her saving her heart for someone she will never have...like you.
[After Yusuke gives up his Spirit Beast, his mother and his friends are talking to his body, thinking he's coming back]
[angrily] This is so stupid! Isn't someone gonna tell them that they're just talking to a dead body? Stop apologizing, Mom, I'll never be around to say it's okay! I'm dead for good!
It's so sad.
It can't be helped. He made this decision on his own.
Okay Botan, just take me to Heaven or Hell or wherever it is I'm going. I'm tired of being here.
Yusuke, you've shown to have more character than I thought. I've been trying to figure out whether people around you really want you back. Contrary to my personal opinion, they actually do. More importantly, you've exhibited astounding potential to be a decent human being. Because this trait is so rare, I've decided to give you another chance. In retrospect, it was a very good thing you threw this egg into the fire. If you had allowed it to hatch, the Spirit Beast, which had been feeding off your constant negative energy, would not have been a pretty sight. It would have bitten your head off. But as you and I know, that's not what happened. You threw the egg into the fire without hesitation, saving Keiko's life at the cost of your own. You have a special quality buried underneath all that crap, and your added experience with death could make you very useful.
[flabbergasted] You think I'm useful?!
[in Yusuke's new apartment]
Nice pad. My mom must've had good fire insurance. So are you going to put me back in my body now?
Not just yet. Energy of the body and energy of the soul have their own wavelengths. Unless the two are perfectly aligned, they cannot join, which won't happen until tomorrow.
[excitedly] Wow! Starting tomorrow I'll be a human with real fists and everything!
Well, that's the best case scenario. There is a small problem: the frequencies of your wavelengths, interestingly enough, are lower than most people. If you miss this chance tomorrow, you'll have to wait awhile to realign.
What are we talking about, like weeks or months?
Fifty-two years.
[aghast] Fifty-two years?!
Yes, but I think it would be wise if you tried to do it tomorrow instead, and in order for that to happen you'll need someone in the Living World who cares about you at least a little bit to donate their life energy.
You mean like a human sacrifice?
Are you kidding? I'm not evil. They must give it to you...through the lips! [seeing Yusuke's horrified expression] I don't see what's surprising about that; haven't you heard of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
