Kaleido Star (2003) s01e25 Episode Script

Two people's Amazing Partnership

Now, we're going to start Kaleido Star.
When you watch Kaleido Star, keep your room brightly lit and sit as far from the TV as you can.
Yes, Miss Layla! Well, well, well.
Everyone, have you ever been told, "Don't push yourself too hard"? "You should try it next time," or "Why don't you try harder next time?" Or something like that.
But there is something I can't accomplish unless I do it right now.
I have to fight now.
I don't want to feel regret because I didn't try.
I don't want that! I don't want that! The dream everyone is looking for must be someplace It has to be somewhere Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone Remember how I used to say I could make it to the end? I must have been pretending to be tough Everything I did was reckless and it never got me anywhere But you alone were always beside me The dream everyone is looking for must be somewhere You can start going forward From this moment, something will start I want to believe that The light I haven't seen yet is beaming toward the promised place Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone Let's eat.
You have an amazing appetite.
I have to eat a lot first if I want to gain muscle mass.
But, still Miss Layla said she would eat her meal in her room again today.
What? She stopped trying to lose weight, didn't she? She said that she wanted to keep her concentration.
Oh, I'll take her meal to her.
An Amazing Bond An Amazing Bond An Amazing Bond An Amazing Bond Here it is.
You seem a little tired, Miss Layla.
Maybe If that's the case, in Japan, we have something we call "Ume-boshi".
It's VERY sour, but it works when you're tired.
I have some specially pickled by my mother.
I'll go get some for you right now.
Don't worry.
I'll be okay if I sleep well tonight.
Oh Are you sure? Thanks for your concern, though.
I understand.
Then please get some rest.
Good night! It will be all right by tomorrow.
By tomorrow You're making me dizzy! Let me go! You're so violent! Say whatever you want.
But I'm in a good mood because Miss Layla and I are finally partners for real! Even I think it's weird.
But I think no matter what the legendary great maneuver is like, I think I can definitely pull it off.
I don't think I'm going to fail.
So don't you think it's about time? Tell me about the legendary great maneuver.
No, not yet.
What? The reversed Empress.
A suffering queen.
A suffering queen? It means Miss Layla! What's wrong? Didn't you just hit your shoulder? I just lost my balance and scratched it a little.
You don't need to worry.
Could it be She really hit her shoulder after all? No, it can't be.
It can't be.
It can't be.
Because she made a promise not to keep any secrets.
'Cause I'm Miss Layla's partner.
Using the swing, jump across to the log over there.
Then push off that log with your hand and come back to the original swing.
This will be the final stage of practice.
Sora, you're late! Sorry.
I'm late because I was putting this on! This way, I weigh the same as Miss Layla.
What is that? Weights used for scuba diving.
Will you be all right? I can't let you bear all the burden.
Because we're partners, aren't we? You're right.
Sora, you still don't have enough skill.
But we don't have time.
Work yourself to death and master it.
We're going back to Kaleido Stage tomorrow.
Yes.
Match each other's timing.
Sora's lagging.
I wonder if it's because of those weights.
Go for it! You can, like, do it! Let me worry about the timing.
Just put everything you have into it.
Okay.
Good.
Your timing is getting synchronized.
Please let me try one more time.
I did it.
Miss Layla! Are you all right, Miss Layla? Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's because you're matching your timing to me It's not your fault.
Let's continue.
We shouldn't waste time.
Okay.
Please A little longer Please last a little longer.
Miss Layla! Miss Layla, is something wrong?! No.
It's nothing.
But I said it's nothing! Really, it's nothing.
Miss Layla I'm positive she was holding her right shoulder back then.
Could she be hiding an injury? But, why? She promised to tell me everything from now on.
Oh, yes.
She laughed.
Good.
Why in the world are you wearing something like that? Ken said that you looked down.
So we wondered if you were worrying about the show the day after tomorrow.
You don't need to worry.
Young woman! Believe in your future! Do you think maybe this was a bad idea? Do you think? Thank you, Mia, Anna! You're right.
The only thing I can do is believe.
Right? That's right, Sora.
Fight! Yes! I already made up my mind to believe in Miss Layla.
Once I made up my mind like this, I have to believe in Miss Layla no matter what.
The upright Moon.
Lingering doubts and hidden anxieties.
Can you really believe in her no matter what, Sora? We've returned to Kaleido Stage.
Miss Layla and I both did everything we could.
Tomorrow, we're going to perform before the audience.
And yet And yet you still say we're not qualified? Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Oh Well All of you Welcome back, Layla, Sora.
Jean Everyone here realized that the current Kaelido Stage is a fake.
Tomorrow's show Until it's your time to appear, we're going to do our best to heighten the atmosphere.
Let us be part of a true show.
Let's work together again! Everyone What are you doing? Has that so-called spirit of the stage qualified you? That's what I thought.
It just means that you're not capable after all.
You should just admit it.
If you do that, I can cancel the performance with just one phone call, and finish everything for you.
Don't worry them unnecessarily.
How dare you say something like that?! You don't give a damn about the cast's life! It's about time to wake up, Layla.
There's no way that you'll be able to do the legendary great maneuver.
It's impossible.
You know that, don't you? Yuri, stop.
You know that, don't you? Yuri, stop.
You're just going to waste your life.
Yuri! You're just going to waste your life.
Yuri! Don't you see that Kalos is deceiving you?! He's using you! It doesn't matter! I believe that I'm able to perfect the legendary great maneuver.
Everyone here wants tomorrow's performance to succeed All except you.
Not Kalos.
He's trying to profit from your death, and take over as owner again.
Just like he did to my father.
Am I right?! But, unfortunately, whether you perfect the maneuver or not, Kaleido Stage is finished! What?! What do you mean? Kaleido Stage will be sold after tomorrow's show.
That is the investors' idea.
So no matter what you do, it's useless! That's why perfecting the legendary great maneuver means nothing! I was proud to be partnered with you.
So don't make an unsightly scene in front of me.
Sora Yes.
No matter what happens, we will do our best tomorrow.
Yes.
We will never cancel the show.
This is not good.
It seems what I did a second ago made my condition much worse.
Familiar smell, familiar atmosphere I'm at Kaleido Stage again.
Everyone was waiting for us, for Miss Layla and me.
But, we're not qualified to perform the legendary great maneuver yet.
Sora! Do you know where Miss Layla is? I want to start rehearsal, but I don't know where she is Really? I wonder where she went.
Here I thought I hadn't seen you in a long time How you could do this to yourself and let it get this bad? The pain must be excruciating.
Since you forced yourself to keep training after you pulled your muscle, you're suffering from a stress fracture.
We need to get you hospitalized immediately.
No, I can't.
Tomorrow is the date of the performance.
Layla, you can't do that.
If you put unnecessary stress on it now, your right shoulder will never be I don't care.
Layla! Just do something about this pain.
And please don't say anything about this to anybody.
Are you serious? I am.
Layla! Layla! So don't make an unsightly scene in front of me.
Unsightly scene? Yes.
What?! Miss Layla? How is Miss Layla? She's sleeping right now.
Is her shoulder hurting? You knew that? I thought so That time Miss Layla! You don't need to worry.
So, she did hit her shoulder.
How is her condition? Oh well Then tomorrow's performance will be I I think I have to wait and observe her condition a little more.
It's my fault.
I noticed it at the time.
But, I YOU! Are you going to kill Layla too?! Please stop it, Mr.
Yuri! Sora! Stop it! This is a hospital! If Sora noticed her condition, there is no way that Kalos missed it as a coach.
This guy knew what was going on, and he still let Layla do it! I don't think Kalos would never do something like that! No.
He's right.
What? I noticed Layla's shoulder was hurting.
What? Then, why? It's obvious! In order to get Kaleido Stage back! No.
You're wrong, Yuri.
Layla Miss Layla I'm sorry, but I contacted them.
I know.
Kalos didn't say anything because this is a matter I should decide entirely for myself.
Isn't that right, Kalos? I should have done the same for Arlon.
After I saw his practice, I knew how difficult that maneuver was.
And of course, I knew how dangerous it was too.
Arlon said that he would make sure to perfect the legendary great maneuver in order to make Kaleido Stage more successful.
I thought I had faith in those words.
But on the final day of rehearsal, I asked him, "Are you sure you can do it?" I am the one who caused him to worry.
I should have believed in him to the last, but I didn't.
That's why, this time, I'm going to believe in both Layla and Sora to the last.
You finally broke free from the past, Kalos.
Hah, this is stupid! You can't fool me with pretty words! Anyway, tomorrow's show is cancelled! If you do that, I'll never forgive you.
Layla, don't you understand that I'm saying it's impossible? First of all, you're injured.
Miss Layla Well I think it would be better if we cancel this time.
What did you say? Anyhow, let's get your shoulder completely healed first! Then we can try it.
We'll have another chance at it! When?! We'll have another chance at it! When?! Oh well, um A month later? A year later? Ten years later? Well And even then, will there still be a Kaleido Stage? Can you tell me that you won't be injured at that time? And what will have happened to me by then? Well, that I don't know, but What about those people who have been looking forward to seeing the show? The show already has started.
I can't bear the thought of disappointing someone.
After my mother passed away, and I watched my father drown in grief, I pledged to myself that I would never make my father sad.
In spite of that Anyway, make sure to finish the movie shoot.
After that, do whatever you want.
I disappointed him.
I don't want to disappoint anybody anymore.
Why? Why do you insist on it that much, even betting on your own life? Yuri, you've changed, to not know something like that.
I do it because I'll receive the best applause when I perfect it.
The best applause The best applause This is a duel between me and my fate.
I'm going to win, and I'll make sure I'll receive the best applause.
If I back out now, I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again.
That's why this is the only chance.
This is how I feel right now, Sora.
Miss Layla, I understand how you feel.
In order to receive the best applause, I'll also challenge fate with you! Why? For Kaleido Stage? To tell you the truth, I just want to attempt this maneuver.
That's all.
When I've done it right, please give me a big hand.
Okay.
Father Do whatever you like.
Yuri So you're not afraid of dying? We're not going to die.
We'll make sure to succeed.
The time is ripe.
Next Kaleido Star The time is ripe.
Miss Layla.
Sora Layla Sora! Layla Sora Layla Sora Layla Sora Yume Everyone We're Let's start, Sora.
Yes! Next time on Kaleido Star, "An Amazing Comeback" An Amazing Comeback Next time on Kaleido Star, "An Amazing Comeback" An Amazing Comeback An Amazing Comeback My wings are my dream An Amazing Comeback and on towards the sky! I'm here between the sky and the roads, and facing against the wind And I'm facing forward so the sorrow doesn't rain down ever again I came all the way here after I jumped over that wall There are many times when I just want to run away But I'm still here, so, I'm not daunted that much The poem I scribbled down, I can just start writing over from the beginning Unable to write it well, I'm laughing
