Ranma: (yawn) Another story, another relative who bears an uncanny
resemblance to me.
Ryoga: She certainly is a chipper sort, isn't she?
Ranma: Certainly tomboyish. Did you notice how she introduced herself? Boku
instead of watashi.
Ryoga: Unless she really is a guy.
Ranma: Oh, great. Another twin. Yawn, yawn, yawn.
Ryoga: But the future is far more interesting. Hmm, you're married to
Shampoo, who is a knock-out. Then, that must've left Akane for me!
Ranma: (punches Ryoga) In your dreams. But several things intrigued me
about my future self. Why on earth am I married to Shampoo? Not that I'm
complaining...I mean, any wife who welcomes me by putting my head between her...
Ryoga: (punches Ranma) Pervert and enemy of women! Why did you attack those
girls when you were coming into the village? What happened to your code of
'I-don't-fight-girls' honor?
Ranma: Don't look at me! I don't know. Maybe I've become some kind of
cold-hearted bastard in the future.
Ryoga: Become? You can't become something you've already are.
Ranma: (punches Ryoga) Smart-ass. I'm telling you, it ain't me. If it was,
I would have gone beserk at that cat-girl. And she called me Daddy? I'm her
father? Ugh! That has to go on my list of reasons why I can't marry
Shampoo. (Whips out a notebook and pen and starts writing) 'Reason number
12: May become father of not-so-modest feline spawn...'
Ryoga: It looks like you'll go beserk anyway if that demon that entered her
had any say. Though she is kinda cute, albeit in a cat-like way. Those
ears...that fur...and those fangs...
Ranma: Hey! Cut it out! That's my daughter you're ogling! (Pales) I mean, no
way that cat thing came from me! I mean--ah--I'm gonna faint. (Keels over)
Ryoga: Sometimes, it's almost too easy. Anyway, Andrew, the non-linear
approach appears to be working. The story line is definately interesting,
though you may want to make the present a bit more interesting. We've seen
the relative-that-looks-like-and-acts-like-Ranma bit before, so you may want
to do something that deviates from the norm. God knows we already have one
of these (nudges Ranma with his foot) running around. I think I speak for
the entire cast that one Ranma is enough (though speaking personally, no
Ranma is great!)
Ranma: I heard that! (Punches Ryoga. A fight ensues.)
