Kaleido Star (2003) s01e17 Episode Script

1 Everyone, Kaleido Star is going to start.
When you watch Kaleido Star, please keep your room brightly lit, and sit as far from the TV as you can.
Well, well, well.
What are you good at doing? Cooking? Participating in sports? Or studying? Mia is very good at coming up with storylines and writing.
I'm so excited to find out what kind of story she is going to write.
Let's support hard working Mia.
Let's support! Let's support!

Yes! Fire It Up! Amazing Mia Fire It Up! Amazing Mia Fire It Up! Amazing Mia Fire It Up! Amazing Mia As a first step, come up with a tentative plan in three days.
In three days Go, Mia! Everyone's future is on your shoulders, Mia.
Why do you have to pressure me like that?! I'm trying hard, but I can't write! Sorry I'm trying hard, but I can't write! I have to write.
Maybe this is impossible for me I don't think so.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Not at all.
I don't think so.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Not at all.
You think so? You're not good at working under pressure.
That's right.
That's right.
You can't write because you're trying to write a masterpiece from the very beginning.
Be yourself.
Be yourself.
You're right.
Maybe I'm a little too zealous.
We also have to be careful that we don't say anything unnecessary.
Telling you how much we're expecting from you is not a good idea.
Okay, then.
First, I think I should relax and Did you write that fantastic masterpiece yet? I got so excited, I couldn't sleep, so I brought you something to eat! Huh? Oh, dear It's not a laughing matter.
Now, now, have a break.
First of all, why does the Boss want me to correct this? I don't know what he wants from me when he just says, "Not good.
Correct it! " Now you mention it, he always just says "Do it! " Even when we played The Little Mermaid, he just told Sora to create her own little mermaid at the beginning You're right.
If he told her what needed to be done, Sora wouldn't have suffered as much.
What do you think, Miss Sarah? What do I think? Kalos has always been like that.
Kalos has been like that since he started Kaleido Stage.
So, in those days, he used to revise the contents of the performance everyday.
So the contents of the show were different every day.
Since Kaleido Stage has grown so much, performing exactly the same show became ordinary.
Still, the way how Kalos handles everything has not changed.
How? Take your Little Mermaid, for example.
If you based that character on what someone told you to do, how would you feel? Do you think you'd be as attached to that character as you are now? Well It could be But, of course, maybe he just doesn't want to think of it himself.
By the way, do you already have a rough idea of what kind of story you want to write? Well, sort of Considering the number of people we have, I'm thinking about writing that ghost love story.
But, in order to use it for stage, I think something is still missing.
Well You may find a hint in the materials in this room.
Isn't this performance using the cloth pretty? I want to try this.
I wonder if I can do fire-breathing? What? Even though you're a diva? I wonder if I should try something with a motorcycle.
In the end, I think the performance we can do depends on who we have left.
That's true.
Does everyone really think that Yuri's theatrical company is that great? According to the rumor, anyone who left Kaleido Stage can join his theatrical company unconditionally.
Seriously? You want to go? Maybe we're too talented, and he's, like, afraid of asking us to join.
That's right.
You know, I think he, like, just forgot about you.
How dare you! Let's go, Mia! Go beyond Shakespeare! Miss Sarah Since Mia is working hard, I also have to work hard.
Kaleido Stage is not as great a place as you think.
Kalos has misled everyone.
You look like you're having a hard time sleeping.
Are you worried about something? Kind of Oh, you don't need to read Tarot.
What?! Besides, I know it will just show something bad.
Well Then, I will sing a lullaby for you.
What?! Okay.
Then, Lalaru, larula, sleep, good girl.
Larula, lalaru, go on and You sound creepy.
I can't sleep! Larula, lalaru, go on and Okay Oh, Mia.
You woke up? Where is Sora? She came here first thing in the morning and she went to the practice room.
Really? Something happened? Yeah As of today, thirteen more people are leaving.
Oh Sora Is she crying? Sora! Sora! Hang in there, Sora! Thanks It's dangerous to try that by yourself.
If you ask me, I'll teach you how to do it properly.
Okay.
Anyway, 13 more people are quitting.
What? The way things are going now, we will end up having a little over ten people left with us.
Simon! Simon Park! You were saying? Please continue what you were saying.
Yeah.
I already heard about Kaleido Stage's situation through the grapevine.
And yet, Kalos is ready to let an absolute amateur take charge of the next performance.
Frankly, I'm disappointed in him.
That's why I'm asking you to do this.
Okay, no problem.
Okay? You accept that easily? I've been interested in Kaleido Stage for a long time.
But, I don't know what Kalos will say about this.
I will persuade him.
What? Well, I thought you're a pretty cool woman.
Please listen to me seriously.
I am listening.
After three days, a tentative plan will be ready.
Once he sees that plan, he has no choice but to acknowledge what we have to say.
Unless we do something, Kaleido Stage will be finished.
Yes.
It's Naegino.
Come in.
Why don't you have a seat? Yes.
I'm so happy that you came here to visit me.
Well About that thing you were talking about the other day Since I don't know what will happen to Kaleido Stage, I thought maybe I should just cut all ties, clean and completely, take care of everything once and for all and join your place.
But then, I still can't decide what I should do.
Your acting is terrible.
But then, I still can't decide what I should do.
Your acting is terrible.
Oh I know you want to say something.
I want to know why you are trying to destroy Kaleido Stage.
I want to find out why This is revenge! Really? Yeah When did you find out about this? Only a year ago.
So, that's what's going on Yuri Killian is Arlon Brass' son.
It seems that Killian is his mother's maiden name.
Yuri is trying to take revenge on me.
That's right.
I have been waiting for this day to come.
My father was a trapeze artist like me, and he was also one of Kaleido Stage's founders.
But Kalos killed him.
What?! Uh Sora, please come to my place.
We still don't have a female top star.
And you have enough qualification to be one.
I need you.
I In the end, only about ten people are going to remain.
Yuri I really can't forgive him.
Are you okay, Mia? If this was when we had so many people Oh What? Oh What? How about if the leading character of the ghost is the owner of a circus? The protagonist became a ghost.
He's alone, recalling a time when the circus was cheerful.
I know this story can give everyone a chance to show off their best talents! And the only person left by his side is the woman who was his lover.
Yeah, yeah The last scene is a touching farewell.
He says goodbye to the one he loves the most while he's lost in beautiful reminiscence.
It'll make people cry.
I know it'll make people cry! There is a chance that this could be an amazing masterpiece.
Go, Mia! I may surpass Shakespeare! Really?! Finished! Kalos, as I expected, the things I was worried about came true.
After all, Mia is still an amateur.
With the help of Simon Park's direction, let's re-create Cinderella.
You don't have any objection, don't you, Kalos? What? Mr.
Simon Park is here.
Let him in.
So, everything is set, right? Mia, you can leave now.
Yes No The next show will be directed and produced by Mia Guillem.
Kalos! Revise the script.
You still have four days until the deadline.
Then Let's just say we weren't meant to work together this time.
We should do dinner some other time.
Simon Park! Please wait.
I want you to be a supervisor.
I'd like to ask you to support Mia Guillem.
Kalos, I think that is so rude.
No.
It sounds interesting.
I will do it.
Oh Well, I have places to go, so I have to excuse myself now.
Send the script to my address.
As for everything else, please talk to my agent.
Then, take care of the rest.
That Simon Park is going to support me? All right.
What?! That is amazing! Yeah, yeah.
Right? That genius, Simon Park, is going to read my script.
That itself makes me so happy.
I will strive to revise any kinds of correction to perfection.
Yeah! First of all, I should revise the parts I don't like.
Mia is making steady progress.
I should revise the parts I don't like.
Mia is making steady progress.
I shouldn't be feeling this way either.
About Mr.
Yuri I think I should talk to the Boss and make sure of the truth.
Oh, sorry.
Me too.
Going out? Oh, yes.
Well Huh? So Yuri said that Yes.
Kalos forced my father to do a risky maneuver.
And he used my father's death for promotion.
It's true that investors at that time hid Arlon's death.
Which actually led to the rumor spreading more and the audience numbers increased.
But I will tell you this.
Arlon was the one who tried that maneuver, by his own choice.
Then, Mr.
Yuri is In fact, Yuri also should know better.
No matter how much someone forces a person, if that person is afraid of doing that, he never can jump.
But Kalos has been blaming himself for what happened.
That's why he is silent and just watching what Yuri is doing.
This is something very hard to deal with.
You and your friends don't need to worry about something like this.
Instead, you should only focus on your performance.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, hello Yes, could you please wait for a second? A call from Simon Park to Mia.
What! Yes! So, you want me to delete from page 2 to page 4.
Then, you want me to delete from the middle of page 5 to page 24? Yes.
Then, you want me to change the last scene? Excuse me, but that's the scene when the protagonist and his lover say good-bye, and I know.
But we see this kind of last scene all the time.
To replace the sections where we deleted, why don't we do something fun? And come up with a few more highlight scenes for the climax.
Yes.
Then, take care Yes.
Then, take care Um Mia In short, I need to rewrite it all.
All of it? I will go to apologize to the Boss.
What? I will tell him, "Sorry, but I cannot do this.
" I'm sorry everyone.
Wait, Mia! Are you going to quit? Because, if I continue and can't finish writing it, I will end up troubling you all.
So You can do it! Don't say something so irresponsible! I think you can do it.
Because I know Kalos never asks something of someone who is not capable of doing it.
But I want you to write it, Mia.
I don't want you to give in to the pressure.
Once you make up your mind saying that you can't do it, that will be the end of it.
When we did the Triple Illusion, I thought "we'll never make it" so many times.
And I even stepped down from the role once.
But you said, I'd rather perfect it with Anna and Sora.
At that moment, I thought I have to do this by all means.
I thought, by all means, I'm going to perfect it.
That was why I could push myself.
Mia, let's do this to the last.
Don't give up and do it to the last.
Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up? Don't give up! A story about people who don't give up.
This could be a good one.
It's perfect for us.
The number of members decreased, but Kaleido Stage still exists.
If this show becomes successful, some of the people who left Kaleido Stage may come back.
That's right.
If I make this wish into a part of the story Yeah.
I think I can do this.
I wonder if I can gather everyone now.
Okay.
Right away.
So, since we don't have that many people, each of you, please be ready to perform at least three kinds of routines from your repertoire.
Unless I know the story, I can't do it.
The script is not finished yet.
What? Not yet What? How can she Can you finish writing the script? I will finish it.
Absolutely Then, everyone, let's start practicing.
Yes.
Good.
Wrap the cloth tight around your body.
Yes.
Then, I will revise it so it will go to that direction.
B #5 light is okay.
Everyone is working to create their own performances.
It seems we are back to the way we used to be.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
Don't you think you can still make it better? Hey, take a look at this.
What do you think about this kind of swing? It looks interesting.
I also want to try it.
Sora Yes.
Out of everyone left in Kaleido Stage, the only person who is capable to be my partner is you.
Even if you say no, I'm still making you my partner.
Yes.
Hmm, it's almost perfect.
Yes! Since we still have eight more hours, we should do one more push.
Yes! Let's make it so the whole cast's mood builds up at once toward the last scene.
I know conveying that kind of build up to the audience is Kaleido Stage's charm, isn't it? I understand.
I will try.
Mia You think you can make it? Ouch! I have one favor to ask.
Yes.
Shorten all female performers' skirts.
What? Your script is perfect.
We will raise the curtain for opening day one week from today.
Start rehearsal immediately.
Let's go, Mia.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
The stage is the world of fire and darkness.
This is the story about two groups of young people fighting in that world.
In that scene, I want you to perform more wildly.
Oh but, maybe, it's okay the way you're doing it right now.
Direct with confidence! Yes.
Originally, they were friends in the same group.
While young men fight each other, they begin to change.
It seems the director gets new ideas every day.
She's a scene man’s worst nightmare.
Jean, you're so alive.
You too.
Anna, more speed! Sora, move bigger! I thought of a title.
Yume, Kibou Those are Japanese.
I started studying Japanese recently.
Not good enough.
I agree.
Soon, they start thinking that they want to live together the way they used to.
And then, their wish reached everybody's heart.
They acknowledged and forgave each other, and decided to cooperate and live together once again.
Amazing! I can definitely feel the excitement on the stage.
When they free themselves from fighting, I think that's the time they obtain real freedom.
That's why this story's title is: "Freedom! " YEAH! You did it, Mia! Everyone is enjoying it.
I'm happy.
One day, I'm sure the day we can hear this applause with everyone, even all the former members, will come.
I'm sure Next Kaleido Star Hey, apologize to everyone! And so, Mia's direction was a big, big, big success! Yet Because of Yuri's plot Today is Kaleido Stage's last day Miss Layla, what on earth are we going to do now? What on earth? What on earth?
