Kuno's Ego

Nabiki: Well Ranma, your plan has something going for it even
if it is stupid.

Ranma: What?

Nabiki: We've tried that  before remember? Now yes persuading
Kuno that you are a good person. If you say in female he'll
believe you are the shape-changed sorcerer.

Ranma: Surely he'd think the same of you.

Nabiki: Not if I flog some pictures first. Besides he believes
that Saotome has no power over me.

Ranma: Why are we sitting here?

Nabiki: when you use the Saotome secret technique do you rush
back into battle with the first plan you come up with?

Ranma: No but..

Nabiki: Precisely.

Ranma: Basically what we do is point out the great Tatewaki
Kuno is so great if I was an evil sorcerer he'd defeat me in
two seconds flat. He'd go for it.

Nabiki: Yes, his ego is almost as great as yours.

Ranma: Hey, that's unfair.

Nabiki: You're right his ego only fills one room.

Ranma: Why you..!

Nabiki: Anyway you deserve better than Akane.

Ranma:(shocked) Take that back.

Nabiki: She's got to know she sleeping with Ryouga.
 Everybody else does.

Ranma:(flabbergasted) What?

Nabiki: Soun doesn't want to dishonour his daughter.
Genma doesn't his friend.

Ranma: That's a first.

Nabiki: True, and both Kasumi and I believe she knows.

Ranma: I don't think she does.

Nabiki:(looking astounded): I know you're trusting Ranma,
but that�s ridiculous.

Ranma: This is the same Akane we're talking about, isn't it?

Nabiki: Huh?

Ranma: Your sister, who believes she can open a restaurant
on her cooking.

Nabiki: I see what you mean. Her talent for self delusion
matches the Kuno's.

Ranma: No, theirs only fill one room.

Nabiki: Touche. (angry) I'll kill the pervert.(furious) No,
I'll let her do that.

Ranma: You tell her but persuade Kuno that Hibiki is the
evil sorcerer who has pitted us against one another for so
long. Hibiki extracted a promise that I wouldn't tell anyone
else before he started sleeping with my fiancee. So I dropped
pretty clumsy hints. Just short of telling her directly.

Nabiki: Make the promise a geas. You can't tell anyone else
but...

Ranma: ..you can.

Nabiki: Are you certain we're not related?

Ranma: I hope not.

Ranma: Dr Tofu's? No I think it'll be safer down here.

Nabiki: Dor one o' us. Don't last long do it? You're right
she is a violent tomboy.

Ranma:(sarcastic) Thanks a bunch.

Nabiki(actually meaning it)Sorry. I'll try and calm her down.

Ranma:(fed up) Impossible, even for Kasumi.
