Saibara: There is no flash or style to this piece of work.
	After all, these two men
	make such a gloomy, drab combo.

Urasawa: (I can't go out in public!)(wahh)

Nagasaki: (there)(there, buck up)

Saibara: So I drew a manga about that idea (Eigyo Monogatari) in order to sell as much as I could,
	(I'll lick anyone's feet if it gets me money)

Yamaki: (Now now)(Next we'll bust open a huge series in Shonen Jump)

Saibara: In a sinister plot with my editor, Yamaki.  Ouch!

(Note: In Rieko Saibara's Eigyo Monogatari, she wrote a story directly about Urasawa and Nagasaki's take on Pluto in her usual snappy, sarcastic way.)

Saibara: So, it was pathetic, sure, but money's money, and I didn't think I would ever have to see them face to face.
	(Problem 1: Naoki Urasawa's stories are way too long)
	Here we are, face to face.

Urasawa: It's nice to meet you, Ms. Saibara.  This is for you.
	(Live Neville DVD)

Saibara: He's my senior and way more successful, he's brought a DVD by one of the singers I
secretly like, and I of course have nothing for him.  Most people would think, what a perfectly
considerate and humble man he is, but in the publishing world, WE DON'T PLAY LIKE THAT.

Saibara: So I went home and wrote him a letter of "thanks."
	(who cares, I'm REALLY never gonna see him after this)

* Actual Letter
Thank you for your present.  Since I don't think you're very good at drawing robots, use this as a reference.  Saibara

Urasawa: Thanks for the robot, Ms. Saibara!  (wave wave)

Sign: Tezuka Awards

Saibara: WE MEET AGAIN
	At the ceremony, Mr. Urasawa draws "Ashita no Joe" and enjoys himself.

Urasawa: (scritchy)

Saibara: So this'll be next.  Up to the point where his left side gets gouged under the bridge.
	I'm sure it'll be a long-ass story.
