01x05 - Will They Pass or Fail

[bunniefuu]

Female Member: Today is the day.

Chief: Hm? For what?

Female Member: You have to ask?

Female member: It's the day Eden College announces the admissions results.

Female Member: The results should be posted at hours today.

Loid: This is more nerve-racking than I thought it'd be.

Yor: My bracelet just broke. Why did it have to happen today?

Loid: Oh, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Yor: L-Loid, look.

Loid: Oh, come on, Yor. Black cats being unlucky is just a superstition.

Yor: Y-You're right.

Anya: Papa...

Loid: What's the matter?

Anya: I just stepped in poop.

Chief: Admissions results for Eden College?

Chief: Ah, the thing we've got Agent Twilight doing.

Female Member: Chief, peace between the East and West hangs on Operation Strix.

Female Member: Please take this more seriously.

Chief: You don't know Twilight very well, do you?

Female Member: C-Correct, sir.

Caption: Underwear:

Chief: He might just be the best spy in all of Westalis, so don't worry so much.

Chief: He'll be telling us that "the sakura blossoms bloom" soon enough.

Female Member: What does that mean, sir?

Chief: It's a code phrase from the Far East.

Chief: It means they passed.

Loid: It's not there.

Sign: WILL THEY PASS OR FAIL?

Yor: We failed...

Loid: We failed...

Anya: We failed.

Loid: L-Let's head home.

Yor: I-I'll make us some tea.

Anya: I'm sorry... It's all because I stepped in poop.

Henderson: A moment, Forgers.

Loid: Master Henderson...

Loid: What is this?

Henderson: Look at the very top.

Loid: Anya Forger...

Henderson: That is the waiting list of successful applicants, though rather confidential.

Loid: A waiting list?

Henderson: Correct. Once her overall scores were tallied,

Henderson: Anya Forger placed first on that waiting list.

Henderson: If any of the current successful applicants were to withdraw,

Henderson: she'll immediately get into the school.

Loid: B-But after what we did...

Henderson: Do you know what the number one k*ller of our species on this planet is?

Loid: Huh?

Henderson: It is the mosquito!

Henderson: Yes. You saved Master Swan from that brutal k*ller back there.

Henderson: That brought your score up tremendously.

Loid: That's insane.

Henderson: Stand proud, Forger.

Henderson: Your family is worthy of our school.

Yor: So if even one person withdraws, Miss Anya will get in?

Henderson: Correct.

Yor: But if no one withdraws...

Henderson: Now, about that...

Zachry Feiss: Th-The Thorn Princess?

Zachry Feiss: What are you doing here?

Yor: Secretary Zachry Feiss, I presume?

Yor: If it's not too much trouble, I will be taking your life.

Zachry Feiss: Please, no! Spare me!

Zachry Feiss: I have a son who's just about to turn six!

Zachry Feiss: He'll be starting at Eden College next month!

Zachry Feiss: If I die, he won't be able to go to school!

Yor: I'm terribly sorry, but that's exactly why I'm doing this.

Zachry Feiss: Huh?!

Yor: For the sake of Miss Anya getting into the school...

Yor: I need you to die!

Yor: You mustn't, Yor!

Yor: You mustn't take the life of an innocent person, Yor!

Loid: Yor?

Yor: Oh, it's nothing.

Yor: I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Zachry Feiss.

Henderson: Well, no matter.

Henderson: There are a few that withdraw every year.

Henderson: Make sure you are properly prepared for the eventuality.

Loid: Thank you very much, Master Henderson.

Henderson: I must warn you that I may not be teaching here by the time you arrive.

Loid: What?

Henderson: I was forced to give that swine a good thrashing.

Henderson: I was able to protect Eden's honor, but who know what ramifications await me?

Loid: That foolish man and this instructor...

Loid: I'm not sure which one will be more useful to me in my mission,

Loid: but if that fool stands in my way, I have plenty of ways to destroy him.

Loid: Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Henderson: I appreciate the attempt at consolation, my elegant boy.

Henderson: Just await that call at home.

Sign: Days Later

Anya: Anya will be accepted... Anya will be accepted...

Anya: Anya will be accepted... Anya will be accepted...

Loid: What in the world is she doing?

Yor: Apparently, she's performing a prayer dance to help her get accepted.

Anya: Anya will be accepted...

Loid: Oh... I see.

Anya: Kieeeeeeeh!

Loid: Hello, Forger residence.

Loid: Yes.

Loid: Yes.

Loid: Goodbye.

Loid: Anya got in!

Anya: Papa! I passed!

Loid: You did a great job, Anya!

Anya: I did it!

Yor: Oh, thank goodness! What wonderful news!

Yor: I'm so happy!

Loid: Thank you for all you did as well, Yor.

Franky: Heya. I heard she got in.

Franky: Time to celebrate!

Loid: You sure found out fast.

Franky: Never underestimate an informant.

Franky: Oh, you must be the missus. Pleasure to meet you!

Franky: I'm Loid's friend, Franky!

Yor: Hello.

Anya: Scruffy-scruff!

Franky: Let's get this party started! I got some booze, and I ordered delivery!

Loid: Who do you think you are?

Franky: This is all thanks to me stealing the answer sheet.

Loid: You idiot! They'll hear you!

Yor: Huh? Wha wuz zat?

Franky: Are you even drinking, you party pooper?

Loid: Leave me be.

Franky: Isn't it great, Anya?

Franky: Daddy said he'll buy you anything as a reward just for today!

Loid: Hey! Don't go promising her things like that!

Anya: I don't want you to buy me anything, but I wanna do something!

Loid: Hm? What's that?

Loid: I don't mind as long as it's doable.

Princess Honey: Save me, Bondman!

Commander (TV): Good morning, Bondman.

Commander (TV): Your mission today is to save the kidnapped Princess Honey,

Commander (TV): and take her back the castle.

Bondman: Wait for me, Princess Honey!

TV Narrator: The kingdom's best spy infiltrates the castle...

TV Narrator: Bondman!

TV Narrator: Taking down any enemy that stands in his way,

TV Narrator: he finally makes it to the princess.

Bondman: I'm here to save you, Princess Honey!

Princess Honey: Bondman!

TV Narrator: Peace was restored to the castle, and their love continued to grow.

Anya: This is what I wanna do.

Loid: What you wanna do? Wait, you mean...

Anya: I wanna play "save Anya from the castle"!

Loid: Nope. Not happening.

Franky: How cruel... You meanie!

Franky: I'm not going to school if you don't do this!

Loid: No one asked you to speak for her.

Franky: Oh, hey. I'm pretty sure that's Newston Castle.

Franky: I heard it was recently remodeled into some cartoon's theme park,

Franky: but that's definitely it.

Franky: It's got the same kinds of tricks and traps seen in the show,

Franky: and you can even rent it out.

Franky: The government doesn't have any eyes over there, Loidy Boy,

Franky: so it wouldn't hurt to have a little bit of fun.

Loid: But...

Franky: After everything she went through to pass, too.

Franky: Doesn't seem fair if you can't get some kind of reward, huh, kiddo?

Anya: Sniffle, sniffle...

Anya: Sniffle, sniffle.

Anya: Sniffle...

Loid: All right, fine.

Franky: Right, then! Let's strike while the iron's hot!

Franky: Leave the castle reservation to me. You're in charge of our ride!

Loid: Wha?! You expect us to go today?

Loid: And you want me to arrange this?

Franky: Well, of course! It's for your daughter!

Comms Engineer: We have a message from Twilight.

Comms Engineer: Code GO.

Female Member: He did it.

Female Member: "The sakura blossoms bloom."

Anya: Anya's never been on a plane before! It's so exciting!

Franky: Nice, nice, nice!

Loid: There we go.

Anya: Does Anya look cool?

Loid: Yes, you do.

Yor: Loid! Where did you get this li'l plane?

Yor: It's amazing!

Loid: Oh, some wonderful coworkers of mine are letting me borrow it.

Yor: Fank you for always looking after my husband.

Loid: You all have your seatbelts on? Here we go.

Franky and Anya: Let's go!

Franky: Yahoo!

Yor: Oh, it's so pretty.

Franky: Look! There it is!

Franky: Holy crap!

Anya: The castle's so cool!

Loid: Hey, settle down!

Loid: We're about to land. Make sure you're properly seated.

Anya: We're in a castle!

Loid: You don't need to go running around with her!

Yor: This is wonderful.

Loid: What's the matter?

Anya: Something's not right.

Loid: What do you mean by that?

Anya: Can you truly call a castle with no enemies or servants

Anya: a castle?

Anya: I'm sad.

Anya: I don't think I can go to school now.

Franky: I know, right? I can't blame ya, little missy.

Franky: Daddy better step up his game.

Comms Engineer: We have a report from Twilight.

Comms Engineer: He's requesting agents.

Comms Engineer: As many as possible.

Female Member: This will be a true test for WISE.

Comms Engineer: To all agents in Ostania.

Yor: Shock!

Franky: And now...

Franky: to the very capable subordinates of Count Scruffy Head!

Franky: I need you all to put on your best performances

Franky: and get in Loidman's way as much as possible!

Loid: Uh... wait...

Agent : This mission ranking is over SS.

Agent : I'll make any sacrifice necessary to see this mission through!

Agent : I couldn't ask for a better opponent than Twilight!

Agent : This day has finally come...

Franky: You can all decide for yourselves how you're going to get in Loidman's way.

Franky: I am not exaggerating when I say the success of this plan is in your hands!

Loid: This is...

Franky: You betcha! A Bondman costume set!

Anya: So exciting!

Franky: Okay, question time!

Franky: What does Princess Anya like about Bondman?!

Loid: Huh? His face?

Anya: Bzzz! The fact that he has a p*stol with a sil*ncer!

Loid: What? Really?!

Franky: Oh, come on! You're her dad and you don't even know that?

Loid: Next question!

Franky: What's Anya's favorite food?

Loid: Peanuts!

Anya: Ooh! Correct!

Franky: Tch. Guess that was too easy.

Franky: Here's the final question!

Franky: If you get it wrong, you'll be changing into that outfit, Loidman!

Loid: That's if I don't get it.

Franky: Here's your question, then.

Franky: What does Anya want right now?

Loid: What does she want right now?

Franky: Five! Four!

Loid: You didn't say anything about a time limit!

Franky: I never said there wouldn't be one, either.

Loid: Calm down. What does Anya want right now?

Loid: What does she want...

Loid: Bondman's spy gear!

Franky: What's the correct answer, Princess Anya?!

Anya: Right now...

Anya: I'm thirsty, so I'd like some water, please!

Franky: Looks like you're wrong, Loidman!

Loid: How the hell would I know that?!

Franky: Scruffy, scruffy, scruffy, scruff!

Franky: Too bad for you, Loidman!

Franky: Now, let's have you keep your word!

Anya: I'm so excited...

Anya: to see the real Loidman!

Anya: Loidman!

Franky: All right, then! On to the next stage!

Loid: Hey, wait!

Anya: Loidman!

Agent : He's so cool!

Agent : He's just so amazing...

Anya: You're so cool, Loidman!

Franky: We're just getting started, scruff!

Anya: Oh, no. Save me.

Loid: God, this is pain.

Anya: Loidman! Up here, up here!

Anya: I'm right here!

Loid: There's no end to this.

Anya: This is so cool!

Franky: You've got this, my minions! Don't let him win!

Franky: Loid! Let them hit you, damn it!

Franky: Now you've done it, you bastard!

Franky: Don't think you're gonna catch us that easily!

Franky: Buh-bye!

Anya: Save me, Loidman.

Anya: You're so amazing, Loidman!

Franky: Scruffy, scruffy, scruffy, scruff! I'm impressed you got this far, Loidman!

Franky: But I won't let you have the princess!

Anya: Save me, Loidman!

Loid: Are you seriously telling me I have to act out this embarrassing

Loid: little play in front of all of these agents?

Loid: But in the end... this is for the mission!

Loid: H... Hand over the princess.

Agents: Ooh!

Agent : I can't believe we get to see Twilight's acting skills in person!

Franky: You fool! You think I'd hand her over that easily?!

Franky: Now, go! The most powerful witch in the world, Yorticia!

Franky: Finish off that fool, scruff!

Loid: Now there's a witch?!

Loid: What the hell is going on in this story?

Loid: Huh?

Loid: Wai—no way. What?!

Yor: Anyone who tries to kidnap Miss Anya...

Yor: will not get away alive!

Loid: Y-Yor, please calm down.

Loid: Why is she using physical att*cks when she's a witch?

Loid: She's strong!

Loid: She's gonna k*ll me!

Loid: Yor... Are you all right?

Franky: Scruffy, scruffy, scruffy, scruff!

Franky: Excellent work getting this far, Loidman!

Franky: But you won't defeat me that easil—

Anya: So exciting!

Loid: I... I've come to save you, Princess Anya.

Anya: Papa!

Anya: So sparkly!

Agent : Congratulations, Anya!

Franky: Anya...

Franky: Congratulations...

Loid: What is this?

Anya: I've had so much excitement ever since I left the orphanage!
