Pluto Volume 1 Act. 7 Brando - Page 163 - Robots: (gshh)(mssh) (grrsh)(grkk) - Page 164 - Announcer: AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY!! He's absolutely invincible!! The mighty ruler of the ESKKKR tournament clinches the championship in mere seconds!! Nine hundred thirty-six matches without a loss!! Will there EVER be an end to this man's undefeated legend?! - Page 165 - Announcer: Brando, the greatest warrior of them all!! Door: (pshhhh) Gesicht: (click) - Page 166 - Gesicht: It was an excellent match, Mr. Brando. Brando: Man... I've been feelin' rusty lately... Sometimes I can't move after a fight, just like this... - Page 167 - Gesicht: It's so mysterious. Your opponents are wearing the same Pancratium Suits, but when you put it on, you're so much stronger... Brando: I can manage the fights through experience, usually. The rest is luck. Act. 7 : Brando - Page 168 - [Istanbul, Euro Federation] Brando: Humans laugh when a robot talks about "luck"... So then I ask them back, do you enjoy watching a match whose outcome has been calculated to a 100% correct probability? Don't you feel more excited watching a match where you don't know who will win? - Page 169 - Gesicht: Luck... I'd never even thought about that... Brando: I'm a lucky man! Pass through this tunnel... And you're in Old Town. Fancy, ain't it? It's like a cultural treasure! - Page 170 - Brando: My apartment's on the fourth floor of this building. Looks like you're wondering, why is an international fighting superstar living in such a dump? Gesicht: Well... Brando: True, with the fight money I make, I could afford a nice big mansion. But I've been using my money on other things... - Page 171 - Door: (click) Brando: I'm home!! It's the return of the fighting king!! Kids: Welcome home, Daddy!! Daddy!! Brando: Did you kids behave while I was gone?! - Page 172 - Kids: We saw you on TV!! You're the best, Daddy!! Brando: Of course I am, hahaha!! Wife: Oh, you're home, Dear...? Brando: Yep... oh! This is my wife, Mine. I met this fellow at Montblanc's funeral... Mine: I've heard about you. Gesicht: My name is Gesicht. I'm from Europol. Mine: Please, come in and make yourself at home. Brando: Time to eat, everyone!! Kids: I'm hungry!! - Page 173 - Brando: Hey! I told you to stop spilling your food!! Mine: Don't run around the table during dinner!! Kid: Hey Mister, are you a cop or somethin'? You got any cool guns? Gesicht: Not any cool ones. Mine: Hey! Stop those stupid questions!! You listen to me, young man, or you'll get a good spanking!! I'm so sorry... Gesicht: It's all right. I haven't had such an enjoyable meal in a long time. Brando: Our home is always like this. It's a party every night! - Page 174 - Mine: Eat your salad, Dear!! Brando: Ack!! Kids: Mommy's the toughest at home. Mommy's the world champion! Champion, champion!! Mine: Stop joking around! Eat your food!! Kids: Eeek, the world champion is so scary!! Gahahahaha!! Mine: Are they all asleep? - Page 175 - Brando: Yep... well? We know how to eat like humans, don't we? Gesicht: It was nice and lively. Brando: Forget about tea, bring out the good stuff. Mine: Well... all right. But don't go overboard. I don't want you getting drunk. Brando: Turkish energy catalyst. Really hits the spot! Dishes: (clink)(clink) - Page 176 - Brando: I've earned this life... Through my fight money. I used to live this way, see? My wife would be at home alone, waiting for me to return... Worried that I might be in pieces, rather than walking on my own... ...so I acted like a human and got us some children... At first we got one... then decided, the more the better... now we have five... You got any kids in your family? - Page 177 - Gesicht: No... Brando: I see... It's a strange feeling, having kids... I used to think I wouldn't mind just getting destroyed in a fight... But now, I want to live as long as I can. Isn't that funny? I didn't care if I died, but once I had children... I decided I didn't want to die at all... Montblanc... Probably wanted to live longer, as well... - Page 178 - Brando: All those people there in the Swiss mountains were like family... I knew Montblanc from the 39th Central Asian Conflict. More important to me than our battles together... Were the times we celebrated and talked all night long... He told me all about trees, and birds... so many different things... So how could such a splendid guy... die a death like that...? - Page 179 - Gesicht: Have you heard of North #2? Brando: Only the name. Gesicht: He is dead. It happened two days ago. He was quietly employed as a butler to a composer living in Scotland... Brando: Murdered? Gesicht: Yes... furthermore... - Page 180 - Gesicht: You yourself are now in danger. Brando: Don't worry about me. I'm an ESKKKR champion. A fighting king! Gesicht: That is why you're in danger. Brando: Fine by me! I'll tear him into shreds! - Page 181 - Brando: A fitting end to the man who killed Montblanc! Gesicht: That's an extremely bad idea. If anything happens, please call me... Mine: Seconds? Gesicht: N... no, your Turkish energy catalyst is too strong for me, I'm afraid. Brando: I'll have another! Mine: No more for you!! Brando: Aww... - Page 182 - Brando: You sure you don't need a ride? Gesicht: Yes, I'll just catch a cab. Brando: Come back again sometime! Gesicht: I enjoyed myself. Brando: Kids are fun! Though you might have trouble taking care of five, like we do. Gesicht: Right. <
