Ouran High School Host Club (2006) s01e04 Episode Script

Now that I notice it, you're always there next to me, but do I actually hate you? Love you? Or am I delusional? When I take a look at my feelings clearly, whether I'm a lady or a host, it doesn't matter to me.
People fall in love for all sorts of different reasons, but I want to see you now, to give your tender self cherry-blossom kisses, and if your heart beats faster, let's let our love bloom.
Right now is more vital than the future.
The springtime of love's beauty is the aesthetic of a damsel in bloom.
lives together, just the two of us.
" - "I can't right now" I'm so happy, Miyabi-kun.
Miss? The Master has returned home.
Miss? Renge Renge, you really do love those games, huh? Is that so wrong? No, no, your father wants you to live your life free and at ease, Renge, however you want to live it.
If there's anything you want to do, I'll let you do it.
I promise.
Sure.
How was your business in Japan? It should turn out well.
Oh, right, last week, I had dinner in the home of one of my clients.
Here.
This is a photograph from it.
They had a boy in high school, too.
Father I am going to marry him! Please keep that promise you made to me earlier, Father! H-Hey, Renge Just you wait, my prince! Renge! Renge!! "Attack of the Lady Manager!" Tamaki-kun Tamaki-kun, why is it that you are so beautiful? Because I want to catch your eye, if only for one second longer.
Why is it that your voice is so mellow? So that my feelings might reach your heart.
Why is it that you look at me with such moist eyes? Because your fresh, young smile makes the spring in my heart overflow.
Tamaki-kun The two of you would wear matching kimonos, huh? The ones that everyone is wearing today were designed by our mother.
If you like, we can take your order.
It was our grandmother that dressed us, though.
And of course, it's my task to undress you, Kaoru.
Hikaru You're embarrassing me, in front of the others --What a tender embrace! --They're up to their nonsense again.
Haruhi-kun! You look so cute in a kimono.
You almost look like a girl in it.
Yeah Haruhi, you've been requested.
Your clients have pretty well stabilized lately, haven't they? Keep it up.
We're not planning to charge interest on the original debt you incurred, so just keep working hard, and pay it off.
The rental fee for that kimono is nothing to sneeze at, after all.
Who is this guy, the crooked magistrate? Kyoya-sama You're just too much, in that kimono.
Are there any new photo collections of the Host Club coming out? Unfortunately, nothing is scheduled at present.
The club makes much of its money from the sale of promotional items, right? The promotional items themselves are poor.
The photo collections are just amateur hidden camera shots.
In order to draw even more for the club's expenses out of the school budget, we have to start coming up with some higher-quality products.
It's only because of him that this club can operate without going bankrupt.
Haru-chan, Haru-chan I lost one of my sandals.
You were just wearing them a while ago, weren't you? Mitsukuni Takashi It was lying over there.
Takashi! --Fantastic! --It is fantastic! These tearful scenes seem to be spreading.
How is it that everyone can get so weepy so suddenly? Whoops This? I should let you know, it's a common practice for a host.
There isn't a girl around who won't swoon over moist eyes.
That's cheating.
Oh, don't be so rigid.
Here, Haruhi.
This is for you.
I can have this? How charming! Haruhi-kun, you like confections? No, I'm not much for sweets.
Still, it might be nice as a memorial offering for my mother.
How admirable of you! Such devotion to your mother! Here, Haruhi, take as many as you like! Are those fake tears, too? How can you say that?! My tears are always genuine.
Being able to cry without using eye drops is the mark of a true host.
Well? Are you impressed? Have you fallen for me anew? Not really.
My overtures just don't seem to reach you, huh, Haruhi? Perhaps I should alter my character somewhat.
Huh? We have a brand-new guest.
What are you waiting for? Come on in.
It isn't any fun just to watch.
--Come on.
--U-Um Hey, I'm always telling you to be more courteous to our first-time guests, aren't I? Here, don't be afraid, my princess.
Welcome to Ouran Host Club.
N-- N--? No! Don't touch me, you phony! I'm a phony? Yes! You're a phony! I can't believe that you are the prince figure in this club! The prince character doesn't go spreading his love around so readily! How can you be so stupid?! It's almost like you're a dim-witted narcissist! Oh, it's a new technique! One-man slow-motion! By any chance, are you Kyoya-sama! I've wanted to meet you.
My own prince.
Fiancee? Kyoya-senpai's? Yes.
My name is Hoshakuji Renge.
I will be transferring into Look, he's mad.
That's because Mommy was hiding something from Daddy.
"Mommy" Whatever.
Are you trying to make this married couple thing stick? It is indeed love at first sight.
The way you were adoring those flowers by yourself in the back courtyard, even when no one else was looking And the way you kindly reached out to that injured little kitty Who are we talking about? Could you have the wrong person? No! You can't fool these eyes! He's someone who is kind to everyone, and yet does not seek to have anyone take notice of him.
He loves solitude, but is actually lonesome.
The one who looks just like the star of the currently popular love simulation game, "Uki-doki Memorial," Ichijo Miyabi-kun, and that's you! --Uki? --Doki?[Uki: high-spirited; Doki: heart-pounding.]
--An otaku! --She's an otaku! I've never seen one before! I see now.
You're infatuated with a character.
You're projecting the character infatuation onto me, going so far as to delude yourself that we are engaged.
This Miyabi-kun character probably wears glasses too, right? Whoa, deluded, you say? Then, that story about her being your fiancee I don't remember ever acknowledging that.
For one thing, I've never even met her before today.
According to my information, Kyoya-sama, I understand that you administer everything about this club.
That's right.
Kyo-chan is our director.
The director? That's perfect! I've always dreamed of being the drawing card for someone's business.
We don't need one.
We're a host club, after all.
I've made up my mind.
I'm going to be this host club's manager! Hey, Kyoya She's the daughter of a client that's important to the Otori family.
I ask that you be sure not to do anything impolite.
it's the birth of a lady manager" I thought about it all last night, and having a lady manager might not be all that bad.
Why do you say that? Don't you see? She has transferred into the same class as Haruhi.
If the two both become friends as girls, Haruhi might become more girlish.
The uniquely girlish air of tenderness about her could stimulate Haruhi's own sense of femininity.
Good grief This is a grand-scale project in order to stir Haruhi up to be more girly! Only having these two disreputable twins as close classmates, is not good for Haruhi.
That's telling us, all right.
People Renge, your Host Club drawing card, has baked some cookies.
Oh how ladylike! I'm so moved! I didn't bake them for you, you phony prince.
They're a little bit burnt, but I know what you're going to say, Kyoya-sama.
to be delicious, of course.
" Oh, Kyoya-sama You're right, these are burnt.
Mitsukuni, stop.
They're bad for you.
She's scaring me! They're savory, and not all that bad.
Let me see Oh, Haruhi, you have cookie crumbs on your face.
Before anyone realized it, they've become a congenial classmate trio.
You know, if you'd just say so, I could get them off myself.
And if you wanted one, they're right here.
Y-Y-Your reaction is all wrong! This is where you're supposed to rebuff them, and casually brush them aside! Please stop sexually harassing me, Senpai.
Harassing you?! If I'm harassing you, then they're twice as guilty! Aah! Police! Okay, okay, sir, we're sorry.
Renge-chan, Renge-chan Want some milk? Too tepid It's all too tepid! Except for Kyoya-sama, all of your characters are too lackluster! All of you hosts are lacking a "dark" side! Girls are vulnerable to handsome young men going through trauma! If you keep carrying on in this ridiculous manner, it's only a matter of time before everyone grows tired of it! Are you trying to ruin Kyoya-sama's precious business?! As manager, starting today, I'm changing all of your character backgrounds.
Starting with you! If all you are is cute, inside and out, then you're the same as a baby.
As such, you're now "The cute-face, who's actually a thug!" Morinozuka-senpai, you're the "Childhood-friend flunkie!" The twins will be basketball players, "Shut up in their own world!" Haruhi-kun, you're an honor student, faced with "Intense bullying!" And Tamaki-san, you are the school idol, esteemed for your looks, but actually, you have an inferiority complex Oh, Kyoya-sama, you're perfect.
You just stay your usual kind, affectionate self.
I'm honored.
"The lonesome prince.
" Indeed, that is perfect for me! That's probably the one she got most wrong.
Kyoya-senpai Do something! But his highness seems up for this.
Renge-kun, Renge-kun Is this what a lonesome pose would look like? My, that's pretty good, Tamaki-san.
I'm sure it would be even more effective if it were raining.
Well, let's just see how it goes, why don't we? Something interesting will come of it, I'll bet.
Get a stretcher! Take him to the infirmary, quick! Kaoru! Kaoru! Kaoru! Hikaru-kun, you can't.
Get back in the game.
Shut up! Hikaru Hikaru, take it easy.
You can't go trying to feel my pain.
Understand? You're not the one who got hurt.
It's no use.
It hurts.
It hurts, Kaoru! Your pain is my pain.
It doesn't matter if no one else understands.
As long as we're both there for each other, we can go on living.
I envy you two.
Being able to support each other like that Suou-senpai But Suou-senpai, you're the academy's idol.
An idol, am I? If people are going to celebrate me over a superficial title like that, then I'm sure I'd be better off alone.
One injured heart intersects with another.
They pass each other, and wound each other.
What are the hearts of these young men made of? You can't run away any longer.
You're going to learn what happens when you go against me.
Don't, Mitsukuni.
Every time you hurt others, you're the one who ends up being hurt.
Don't try to give me any advice, Takashi.
You want me to put you over my knee again? Will it be the light of salvation that ultimately awaits them? Or something else? I hate it when people try to rise above their own station in life.
Haru-chan, I'm sorry! I really can't do this! Cut!! Cut! Cut! Cut! You there! Stick to the script! But I Cameraman, hold up for now! Yes, boss.
Make the rain more heartrending! Why have we suddenly gone from talking about changing our characters into a movie shoot? And I have to say, it's an overblown film crew, huh? Apparently, she rushed them here from Hollywood.
Haven't you ever seen them? That man is the director of "Millennial Snow," the vampire movie that was the number-one box-office hit across America last year.
Damn these rich people And another thing, how come this script has Kaoru being the pitcher? Yeah.
If you don't know, never mind.
Pitcher? Haruhi How was my performance? It was awesome, in one sense of the word, at least insofar as how you're able to be so enraptured by this.
I've discovered a whole new facet of myself.
It's not that bad an idea to go down this road for a little while.
Are you sure? Senpai, I think you're fine just the way you are.
R-Really? Hmm, if you say so If this guy gets a darker side, he'll just be that much more trouble.
Haruhi-kun! You're on! Okay! Over here! I've just asked these two gentlemen to make a special appearance.
Appearance? What are you talking about? We're going to need some villains for the big climax, after all.
confrontation had arrived.
There wasa greater evil infesting the academy" The jumble of club members unite, to battle some true bad guy characters.
brothers, Akutaro and Akujiro!!" According to my notes, while these two may be from a wealthy family, they are actually sons of members of the Japanese Mafia.
These truly are ideal parts for you.
What's with this girl? Whatever my dad may be, it's got nothing to do with me! Hold on, Renge-chan --Okay, just stand by over here.
--Just a minute here You think you can push us around however you want to? Come off it! Look out! --Yow --Haruhi-kun! Are you okay?! Those boys are right.
Renge-chan, if you judge people by stereotypes, you won't ever be able to see what's really important.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Haruhi! What happened?! Which one of you started this? W-Wait, Suou! She's the one who started giving us a hard time! It's true, Senpai.
These boys aren't at fault.
Run away! Haruhi does it hurt? Yes It's my contact.
Huh? Your con tact? Yeah.
It slipped out.
Oh, so that's it! Once you can cry without using eyedrops, you're a full-fledged host! Cameraman, did you catch that?! Yes, boss! Except for the contact falling out, that was the ideal last scene! All it needs now is for Kyoya-sama to provide some moving narration.
No! My camera! K-Kyoya-sama? I'm sorry, but I cannot allow there to be any record of a club member engaging in violence.
I am extremely displeased at the way you're acting like such a pest.
Why? Kyoya-sama, you're supposed to tell me not to worry about it, and then gently pat me on the head! Why would someone as kind and affectionate as you That's not who Kyoya is.
It doesn't matter, does it? Even if Kyoya-senpai is a little different from what you expected, Renge-chan, I think that watching people, and slowly, little by little, getting to know them, can be fun, too.
Hey, Renge-chan, long time no see.
You look down, huh? Come on, smile for me.
Today is a very good day.
After all, Renge-chan, you learned something that's very important for you to go on living a happy life.
You really have leveled up.
Hey there, come on in.
I bought that video! --Me too! --Me too! That scene in the rain was the greatest! The lonesome prince! The deep relationship between Hikaru-sama and Kaoru-sama was too much! I want to see Honey-kun acting like a thug again! And Haruhi-kun's poignant expressions! --Mori-kun was definitely some kind of masochist, huh?--Kyoya I may have broken the lens, but naturally, the footage that was already shot still remains.
Of course, that one scene of violence is cut out.
Sales have been pretty fair.
That first-rate Hollywood staff did as good a job as you'd expect.
Is this what you meant by "interesting"? It's best to have as much as we can in the club budget, right? At what point did this guy start calculating all of this? Take care.
Huh? I thought you went home to France.
I realized something.
Your kindness earlier, when you risked your life to protect me, and your deep love, for giving those, at times, stern admonitions.
This is what you meant by watching people, and falling in love with them, right, Haruhi-kun? Yes? Come, let's go to my house to play some games together.
You have to find out more about me, too.
Huh? Kyoya-senpai Are you sure this is okay? Why wouldn't it be? She's not wrong in what she's saying.
No, it's not okay! They're both becoming friends with each other as girls, just like you wanted.
But they're not both being girls! Come on, Haruhi-kun! Let's go! Wait! Don't take Haruhi away! I can run for 5000 miles, until I'm out of breath.
the body working at full strength.
Having come this far, is it enough? How far until it's okay? The trees that imbue the streets of this town keep repeatedly changing their appearance.
In completely washed-out pallor, and unchanging frailty, I want to believe in myself, as I am here and now.
With my right hand, and my left hand, held over my head, I tear through the darkness and go! There is no deceit! I've made my resolve! From the moment I make my start, the world expands.
You look ugly! Your hairstyle is weird! --Sex pixie! --Sicko! How can this be? Hikaru and Kaoru Next time, "The Twins Fight!" Ouran High School Host Club will be waiting for you, next week!
