A-hem [deeep breath]
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
: Kuno: (grimly) Guten abend, Frau Blutdruck, hier sprict Herr Kuno.
: Kann Ich mit der Doktor sprechen, bitte?
: Kuno: Danke. (pauses) Doctor Van Helsing? Yes, it is Tatewaki
: Kuno.
Van Helsing? Frau *Blutdruck*?! Bwaaaahahahahahaaa!
: Kuno: (gladly) That we shall! Together, we shall cleanse the earth
: of the ancient, malignant evil that is Ranma Saotome once and for
: all! So promises Takewaki Kuno, BLUE THUNDER OF THE CARPATHIAN
: ALPS!
:
: (Thunder crashes on both sides of the split screen. Van Helsing
: peers out the window, where it's a warm, sunny, cloudless day.)
:
: Van Helsing: How do you DO that?
:
: Kuno: (puzzled) Do what, worthy Doctor?
:D :D :D :D
: Soun: (chewing) Wonderful chicken, Kasumi.
:
: Kasumi: (smiling) Duck, father. It's duck.
UH OH! When she starts serving cat, *run*, Ranma!
: Nabiki: (whispering) Remember that plan we had to get him to pay
: attention? Ready to try it?
:
: Akane: (nodding) Ready when you are.
:
: (Nabiki suddenly glomps Akane, kissing her full on the lips. Akane
: goes through the motions, looking rather embarrassed and
: unconvincing.)
:
: Ranma: (staring) Um, Akane? Nabiki? Hey....
:
: Genma: (gaping) Tendo...?
:
: Soun: Kasumi, could you pass the salt?
:
: Kasumi: Here you go, father.
D'oh! Of course the two slightly-out-of-touch-with-reality
members of the Tendou household would notice nothing. I mean,
Kasumi wouldn't even raise a brow if she *did* notice.
: (Nabiki lunges forward a bit, and she and Akane fall beneath the
: table with a crash.)
:
: Ranma: (pale) Oh man... I know I always call her a tomboy, but I
: never thought....
Hey, you've still got a chance, Ranma. Just keep up the cold
showers...
: Ranma: Did the tombo.. um... did Akane hit ya real hard?
:
: Nabiki: (dazed) Man... what a kiss...
Heh, "did you feel the earth move, too?"
: Nabiki: That's down at the Presbyterian Church. This is the
: wedding of Soun and Kasumi Tendo.
Uh, I hope that's meant to be "weddings". Nabiki and Akane were
enough incest for one episode. This could be taking the "Kasumi
replacing her mother" thing a *bit* too far.
: Gaijin 2: (eying Nabiki) Your beauty doth make the sun seem a dim
: and fading firefly. Might I have the pleasure of your name, O
: goddess who deigns to grace the dull and dreary world with her
: presence?
:
: Nabiki: (raising an eyebrow) He related to Takewaki Kuno?
: Gaijin 2: Let me speak on your earlobes...
:
: Nabiki: (speculatively) Let me speak on your bank account...
:
: Gaijin 1: (firmly) Nonexistent. Come on, Mahon...
:
: (He and the other two begin to drag a protesting Gaijin 2 into the
: church.)
:
: Nabiki: (calling) Nonexistent? Aren't you getting paid for the
: wedding?
:
: Gaijin 2: Two perfect shells, framed by thy auburn locks in
: shimmering - let go! - glory....
:D :D :D :D :D :D
: Ranma: (turning to Saburo) We gotta stop that thing. Akane's in
: that church, and so are the rest of the Tendos! Oh yeah, and Dad
: too.
Heh, this is a boy who knows his priorities.
: Saburo: It's 30 miles to Nerima. We've got a full tank of gas, a
: carton of okonomiyaki, there's an alien spaceship hanging over the
: city, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
:
: (They think this over for all of a nanosecond.)
:
: Ranma and Saburo: (together) Hit it.
Waaaahhh, I *love* it! Good setup with the sunglasses, too.
: Nabiki: (reading tag) To Kasumi, new Native Planetary Governor,
: from the Empire.
I knew it! Kasumi rulez!
: Zen Monk: (peering at them) STOP!
:
: Ranma: Huh?
:
: Zen: (waving his arms impressively) If you marry that beast at
: your side, you shall die an early, horrible death! Destruction! Woe!
:D :D :D :D
Shoulda kept the "Monk" part. The wooden-mallet-over-the-head
approach kinda spoils the humour here. Still a *great* gag.
: Akane: (straightening her dress, flattened disks of lead fall off) I
: told Oneechan the Kevlar dress was a good idea.
And yet another well-prepared gag.
: Ranma: (angrily) Huh? Perfect Japanese? You're not Shampoo!
:
: Nabiki: (in a flash of inspiration) That's right! Oh, Ranma, it was
: horrible! This demon killed Shampoo and took her place! The
: humanity of it all!
:D :D :D :D
Smart girl. Ooohh, gotta lover her, gotta love her.
: (Zoom in on Soun and Kodachi, still locked in a kiss. Fade to black.)

: Epilogue to come! Wait for it.....
There's still the case of the disappearing Institut Rats to
solve - and it began with a wish...
