01x06 - c*ptive Marie

Post by bunniefuu »

Arthur: You're late.

Arthur: Ten minutes late.

Driver: I-I'm so sorry, sir.

Marie: The driver's a dead man this time for sure.

Arthur: Oh well.

Arthur: Marie, you get in first.

Marie: Master Arthur isn't angry?

Marie: How come?

Driver: Master Arthur, I wish you a very happy birthday today.

Marie: It's... his... birthday?!

Marie: How could I not have known it was such a big day for the guy I like?

Arthur: My birthday... My least favorite of all the days in the year.

Arthur: It gives people a pretext to send me gifts, all rigged with blades or bombs.

Arthur: My birthday meals are always poisoned.

Arthur: My party always gets canceled due to b*mb threats.

Arthur: And my birthday brings back memories I hate to even—

Arthur: No, never mind.

Arthur: The one fond memory I do have

Arthur: is from the year my father took me in as a stepchild.

Arthur: He took time out of his busy schedule for me,

Arthur: and we had birthday cake together.

Marie: Birthday cake...

Marie: Before I ended up in extreme poverty,

Marie: I got one every year. It made me so happy.

Marie: That settles it! When we get back to the mansion, I'll bake a cake!

Marie: After all,

Marie: birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions.

Fan Club Girls: Arthur!

Fan Club Girls: Please accept these birthday presents from us!

Arthur: Sorry.

Arthur: I've decided not to accept any presents from classmates.

Arthur: I hate to ask, but please take them back.

Arthur: Marie, help return them all.

Marie: Yes, sir.

Bridget: Hey, you.

Bridget: Do you have a moment to talk after school?

Bridget: Marie!

Bridget: How would you like to be friends with us, the Arthur Fan Club?

Marie: The what?

Bridget: Also known as the Society for Wanting Arthur to Look at You Like You're Trash!

Bridget: He's a misanthrope through and through.

Bridget: When we say hello, he responds with an awkward smile to be polite.

ZMYLE

Bridget: You can just tell he thinks we're a nuisance!

Bridget: And we love it!

Bridget: In any case, I trust you nowunderstand how we feel.

Bridget: So please, take these.

Marie: I'll check with Master Arthur. Just in case.

Bridget: Thank yo—

Marie: But will you really be my friends?

Marie: I'm glad.

Marie: I like Master Arthur too.

Bridget: My! Don't tell me you're one of those people!

Bridget: To be clear, falling in love is a serious offense within the fan club.

Bridget: Why, you ask? Because Arthur is just too wonderful.

Bridget: Falling in love with him is beyond presumptuous.

Bridget: So give up like the rest of us!

Marie: No, thank you.

Signs: What's wrong with falling in love?

Fan Club Girls: Are you picking a fight with us?!

Amy: Bring it on!

Marie: So the cookie crumbles.

Marie: Is falling for Master Arthur really so wrong?

Bridget: Arthur...

Arthur: Fool around too much and you'll get hurt.

Bridget: W-We're so sorry!

Bridget: Please excuse us!

Marie: I'm saved.

Arthur: Marie, what happened? Are you all right?

Marie: Er, we were just... playing tag.

Arthur: Oh, is that all? I'm glad.

Arthur: Student council business will keep me late today.

Arthur: Would you go home without me?

Marie: Certainly, sir.

Marie: As long as I mix in lots of tasty things, it will come out fine... won't it?

Signs: Tasty

Signs: Tasty

Signs: Ultra Tasty

Noah: That wasn't nice.

Noah: Give me a break. My left arm hasn't fully recovered yet.

Marie: I will not relent.

Marie: Anyone who wants Master Arthur dead must—

Noah: Relax. I'm taking a break from hitman gigs.

Noah: I won't do anything to hurt Arthur.

Marie: Then what are you doing here?

Noah: Isn't it obvious?

Noah: I'm here for that cake.

Marie: You think I'd give it to you?

Marie: This is Master Arthur's birthday cake.

Marie: Let me bake in peace.

Noah: Let me give you some baking tips, then.

Noah: Baking is a chance to slip a foreign substance into your target's body.

Noah: You have to make sure you get the job done.

Marie: Oh, my cake...

Marie: And what in the world is this funny smell?

Noah: Hey, don't look at me.

Noah: You just suck at baking.

Noah: I was hoping to snag that cake, but it looks nasty, so I'll pass.

Noah: See you. Good luck with the whole doomed love thing.

Noah: Anyway, I can't believe how full of holes the mansion's security is.

Noah: Maybe I'll drop in again to check out Marie in her maid outfit.

Marie : Flick.

Marie : Maximum priority threat detected.

Marie : Now commencing mincing.

Marie : Hamburg steak time.

Noah: If Marie 's around, I'd better call off any more visits.

Noah: Off I go.

Marie : Hamburg steak time.

Marie : Reengaging deactivated security system.

Marie : Establishing patrols.

Marie: It ended up a far cry from how I imagined it,

Marie: but I'm glad it looks decent now that I've wrapped it.

Marie : Initiating power mode.

Marie: M-My cake!

Marie : I-I'm terribly sor—

Marie: It's fine.

Marie: To be honest, I didn't do a great job making it.

Marie: Forget it and focus on increasing patrols.

Marie : Oh, of course. Understood.

Marie: I guess I won't give it to him after all.

Bridget: Beyond presumptuous!

Noah: Good luck with the whole doomed love thing.

Marie: Besides, who knows if he'd even accept it, coming from me?

Marie: Moreover, he deserves betterthan a failed attempt like this.

Marie: If I'm just going to embarrass myself, I shouldn't bother—

Arthur: What are you up to, Marie?

Marie: W-Welcome home, Master Arthur.

Arthur: Thanks. It's good to be back.

Arthur: I had an extra exhausting day.

Arthur: Dodging presents after school was hard work.

Arthur: If only I could take people's goodwill at face value...

Arthur: But after what I've been through, I can't bring myself to trust any of them.

Arthur: In the end, today wasn't a good day for anyone.

Arthur: It's no wonder I hate birthdays.

Marie: Birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions.

Marie: That's right. I didn't want Master Arthur to hate this day.

Marie: Master Arthur,

Marie: happy birthday.

Marie: Even if you hate today,

Marie: I wanted to celebrate it.

Marie: So I downloaded a recipe and tried making... this.

Arthur: Of course.

Arthur: I don't have to feel blue every time my birthday comes around anymore.

Arthur: I have you.

Marie: Master Arthur...

Marie: I'm here for you.

Marie: And I'll stay here...

Marie: right by your side.

Narrator: Marie got the sugar and salt mixed up.

Signs: Marie got the sugar and salt mixed up...

Arthur: It's good.

Arthur: There's something I've wanted you to do for me for a while now.

Arthur: Change into this dress.

Arthur: May I open the door?

Marie: Yes, go ahead.

Arthur: Pardon me.

Marie: Master Arthur, that outfit...

Arthur: You look lovely...

Arthur: Miss Marie.

Arthur: Not quite there...

Arthur: Okay.

Arthur: That's better.

Marie: Master Arthur is so good at this.

Arthur: I'm always getting you to help me with things, you know?

Marie: Th-This is so embarrassing!

Arthur: You needn't do a thing, Miss Marie.

Marie: He's doing all these lovely things for me,

Marie: so why do I feel so conflicted?

Hitman : Master Arthur, I've got a whole heap of gifts for you, sir.

Arthur: Wait there.

Arthur: I know I left instructions to leave all deliveries outside.

Arthur: Are you new?

Hitman : What kind of birthday is that?!

Marie: That's my cue to step in.

Arthur: After last time, I upgraded to something strong enough to incapacitate with one jolt.

Marie: But normally I'd be the one to...

Marie: Oh, I get it.

Hitman : Payback time!

Marie: Sorry.

Marie: Would you wait a moment?

Hitman : But I waited like you asked!

Marie: I know why I felt torn.

Marie: Rather than being protected myself...

Marie: Excuse me, Master Arthur.

Marie: I want to be the one protecting Master Arthur.

Marie: Master Arthur, you can do anything you set your mind to.

Marie: I'm sure you fought off assassins before I got here.

Marie: But it's because you can stand strong on your own that I want to protect you.

Marie: Does me protecting you bother you?

Arthur: No, I love you protecting me, Marie.

Marie: I'm glad to hear it.


Mechanical Marie


Marie: Master Arthur collapsed?!

Marie: Have you called the school nurse?

Bob: Not yet. He said to get you right away.

Marie: Master Arthur, Master Arthur...!

Marie: I promised I'd keep him safe!

Bob: He's through that door.

Robot Lovers Club

Marie: Master Arthur?

Robert: Welcome to the Robot Lovers Club!

Johann: Your strength and speed are so astonishing

Johann: that we started to suspect you're really a robot developed by the Zetes Corporation.

Bob: But look how easy it was to trick her.

Member A: She could just be a pretty crummy robot.

Johann: So, basically, we invited you here to study you.

Marie: "Invited" me? You mean you abducted me!

Marie: I need to get out of here, and now.

Bob: Okay, let's take her apart.

Members: Yeah!

Robert: Start by taking her clothes off.

Johann: Has anyone here ever undressed a girl before?

Marie: Stop!

Stop!

Member A: Damn it! We've been set up!

Member B: She's a robot! Who designed her to prey on our consciences like this?!

Member C: We can't go through with it!

Marie: These guys are idiots.

Marie: I'll never get anywhere like this.

Marie: Actually, I have antigravity systems in my feet,

Marie: so I can hover three millimeters off the ground.

Members: What?!

Members: No way!

Members: Like that famous thing?! You know the one!

Members: Talk about high tech!

Marie: However, it would be difficult to show you like this.

Marie: Would you at least untie me from the post?

Members: I've got to see!

Johann: M-Maybe we shouldn't...

Bob: I don't know if I'd call that "hovering."

Johann: It's just regular old jumping, right?

Marie: Even robots lie sometimes.

Members: She's loose!

Members: After her!

Members: This robot's dangerous!

Members: No more Mr. Nice Guy!

Marie: Oh no.

Members: Disassembly time! Everybody get your screwdrivers!

Members: Disassembly!

Members: Disassembly!

Marie: Somebody help me!

Marie: Master Arthur...

Johann: H-How did you find us here?

Marie: Master Arthur!

Arthur: Are you really robotics geeks?

Members: What?! GPS?!

Robert: Stay out of our research!

Arthur: Marie is mine. No one else can have her.

Arthur: I'll keep her safe!

Marie: I want to protect Master Arthur, but he wound up saving me again.

Arthur: Let's go, Marie.

Marie: M-My undergarments...

Marie: I can't let Master Arthur see me in this disgraceful state.

Arthur: You're not damaged, are you, Marie?

Marie: I've got to think fast!

Marie: Who are you? I do not know you. I am afraid.

Arthur: What?

Roy: Marie lost her memory?

Arthur: Yes, that's right.

Arthur: It looks like they did something to erase all her data about me.

Roy: Her data?

Roy: What nonsense is this now?

Marie: I'm sorry.

Roy: Maintenance may fix that.

Roy: I'll take her overnight and—

Arthur: No, I'll figure something out.

Arthur: I'll make her remember no matter what!

Marie: U-Um...

Arthur: Marie, you probably don't remember,

Arthur: but we have seven precepts of flirtation that we follow every day.

Marie: P-Precepts of what?What idiot would follow those?

Arthur: So let's try going through them.

Arthur: It...

Arthur: It may help you remember something.

Marie: Okay, guess I'll play along with these "precepts" and then tell him I remember.

Arthur: First, the good morning hug.

First: The good morning hug

Arthur: Second, holding hands on the way to and from school. With fingers interlaced.

Second: Holding hands on the way to and from school.With fingers interlaced

Arthur: Third, the "say 'ah.'"

Third: The "say 'ah'"

Arthur: Fourth, looking into each other's eyes.

Fourth: Looking into each other's eyes

Arthur: Fifth, the lap pillow.

The lap pillow

Arthur: Sixth, the head pat.

The head pat

Marie: Man, it's been a while.

Arthur: Lastly, the seventh and final precept...

Seventh

Marie: Don't tell me...

Arthur: Would you close your eyes?

Marie: I knew it!

Marie: A kiss...

Arthur: You really don't remember.

Arthur: You've lost all memory of me.

Marie: I do remember.

Marie: After coming into contact with you, Idiscovered girlfriend mode in my core program.

Marie: While analyzing it, I located and restored my data on you.

Arthur: You remember me, Marie!

Marie: Also, we haven't made any formal agreement about flirting.

Marie: You despise lies,

Marie: yet I see you still tell them.

Narrator: "Oh, if only that agreement were real, we could go home hand-in-hand,"

Narrator: they both thought, of the same mind.

Marie: Daryl? Master Arthur's best friend?
