Ranma 12 s01e85 Episode Script
Episode 85
It looks like a storm.
As if something bad is coming.
It's a bit early, but I'll close for today.
There, "closed.
" Who's there?! Playing cards.
.
.
? You lose, Ukyo.
What? What do you mean?! You have a pair.
But I have.
.
.
Look!! A royal flush! It's you?! The Gambling King showed up? - That's right.
- Gambling King? How come you're friends with a gambler? Because of a bet ten years ago.
.
.
he wants to get even with me and Ranma Honey.
Even! You lose.
Ranma Saotome, it's even, just as I called it.
I've come all this way to collect on your bet from ten years ago.
Be grateful.
What bet are ya talkin' about? Is this a friend of yours, Ranma? Why not invite him in? But.
.
.
Have you forgotten? I have a promissory note from you.
Note? If that's the case, it's simple.
Ranma, give him whatever you promised and send him on his way.
Ranma, what did you promise him? I don't remember.
But I was just a kid, so.
.
.
Right, it couldn't have been anything very valuable, right? As this document says, the Tendo training hall is mine! Ranma.
.
.
! Ranma! Verify it, will you?! Well?! It's your handwriting, isn't it?! It's my writing, all right.
There's no mistake! Be ready to turn it over by tomorrow morning.
Farewell.
Um.
.
.
! Since it's a signed document, it can't be helped.
Just.
.
.
get it BACK! Ranma.
.
.
! He was furious.
You can't go back there, can you? That dirty gambler.
.
.
! It can't be helped, can it? Stay here tonight.
I'll look after you.
"Stay here"?!! Ranma gambled away our training hall? Yes, and Father's furious.
I can't say that I blame him.
Even if they are childhood pals, they're boy and girl.
.
.
! Although the two of them could be either one.
.
.
! I wonder what Ranma will do? He might just switch over to Ukyo.
Why would he?! She's his fiancee, too.
You're right.
Ranma does love okonomiyaki.
Akane, here.
What's this? A change of clothing for Ranma.
Why should I take this? Won't Ranma be staying at Ukyo's shop for a while? The door's open.
She's so careless! - Hey! Ran--! - C'mon, make up your mind.
You've got to choose one.
Be a man.
I can't dump either.
I'm tired of waiting.
Could it be--?! I choose you! Ranma!! A-kane.
.
.
! - What's wrong, Akane? - Nothing.
Gambling training? Just watch, King! I'll win back what I lost the same way! If that's the case, I'll help you.
Don't blame me if you lose your shirt.
Thank goodness! He wants to win back the training hall.
- I won! - One more time! - I win.
- One more time! - I win.
- One more time! - I win again.
- One more time!! How come you two are so good? You're just a crummy player, that's all.
"Casino King"? A new game center? Wanna go? Site of the old Tendo Training Hall? Here!! - Come on, come on! - 16 red! - 82 black! - Even! You lose.
Place your bets.
In they go! What're you doing, Nabiki? Gambling.
Place your bets! - Odd! - Even! Bets are in! - Even! - Such a hard worker.
Play me fair and square! Fine.
What will you give me if you lose? The Tendo living room! It's in writing! You lose.
- Oh, my.
- Daddy! Once more! Hold it! Now take me on! I'll show you the results of my training! And what'll you wager? The Tendo house entryway! Here's the note.
Play, King! You lose.
Fool!! I was a fool to rely on Ranma! I'll play the King myself.
I'll wager the Tendo kitchen! You lose.
The Tendo hallway.
You lose.
Stairway! You lose.
Bathroom! You lose.
- Akane's room! - You lose.
Nabiki's room! Hold it! Father, that's enough.
Play! Let them all come.
I'll take them for all they've got! You lose.
- Terrific, Sis! - You're amazing, Nabiki.
How about one more game? This girl has beaten me! She's different, subtly different, from my previous challengers! The high-school crowd is tough! Do you think the King can only win against grade-school children? Maybe so.
Are you saying I have only grade-school intelligence?! - Yes.
- So does Ranma.
The living room is mine! All that's left is the Tendo training hall.
My pride is at stake! Play! Now I'll have to--! UCCHAN'S Welcome! Cute girl! Please let her serve you.
Work off the debts you got from training.
Gambling ruins lives.
PUBLIC BATHHOUSE Just train and be patient.
Ranma Honey, could it be.
.
.
? Do you want to go back to Akane's place? Why would I want that?! Besides, I can't go back until I beat King.
- Really?! - Yeah! I'm so glad! Then you're going to stay with me forever! Whaddya mean by that? I have all the time in the world.
This is my golden opportunity to win Ranma Honey's heart.
Oh, no! Our cozy love nest--! We're sorry.
We lost our house.
How could you lose that last hand?! I told you, he cheated! It was over ten years ago.
The Gambling King was running his casino as always.
You lose.
Are you the guy.
.
.
?! The Gambling King who's been taking all the kids' money?! How about taking me on? What game? - Old Maid.
- Fine.
You lose.
One more game! You lose.
- Again! - You lose.
What happened? I was completely beaten.
When I was about to lose my okonomiyaki cart-- - Ranma, get 'im for me! - Sure.
Gambling King, now you play me! - You lose.
- One more time! - You lose.
- Again! You lose.
Yaaargh!! Nyaah.
Loser.
You're cleaned out.
Not yet.
Here's a deed! Tendo fencing hall? What is it? It's a fencing hall that belongs to my pop's friend.
It's not mine yet, but it'll be mine someday! The deed is mine.
You idiot! Well, I didn't know what I was gettin' into.
.
.
! Ranma.
.
.
! - I'm sorry now.
- You're hopeless.
So we had to do something.
- Take that! - An' don't come back! What's the idea?! We rolled him up and threw him in the river.
You idiots.
No wonder he's mad at you! Wait, there's more.
The Gambling King dropped his cards.
Hey! - They're all jokers! - He cheated! So the King's the real bad guy! Let's train for tomorrow! - I win.
- Me, too! Rats!! You really do suck, Ranma Honey.
Keep trying.
You play the King in ten days.
We can't keep staying with Ukyo forever.
I don't mind if it's only Ranma.
I'm sorry.
The whole family barged in on you.
Akane! Keep your chin up.
I'll get your house and training hall back! How can you be so confident? Shall I show you how to defeat the King? Nabiki! I was the only one who was evenly matched with the King.
He cheated and won in the end.
But as we played.
.
.
I discovered a critical habit that gives him away! - A critical.
.
.
- Habit?! Right.
For example, if you push up the joker.
.
.
so that it sticks out from the rest.
.
.
he always picks it! What?! You gotta be kiddin'! Who'd fall for that kid's trick? You did.
The King has another fatal weakness.
What's that?! When the King is holding the cards.
.
.
and your hand reaches for the joker, he starts smiling.
So if you switch to another card.
.
.
he looks like it's the end of the world.
Ranma's the perfect opponent for him.
No wonder he can't win.
Excuse me! I hope Daddy's improved.
I'm afraid his face is a dead giveaway.
Haven't you learned your lesson yet, fools? I'm winning back my home and training hall from you! Akane, what happened to Ranma? He said-- I'll come back when I've conquered my weaknesses! Keep the game going till then! At least that's what he said.
Play! You'll never go home again! That's what'll happen when your expression changes.
You're not cut out for gambling.
Not yet! I won't quit until I have no facial expressions! I win! - I'll take my room back now.
- "Me, too.
" I win.
Give the kitchen back.
Me, too.
I'll take my room back.
Good girls! You're truly my daughters! You lose.
- Dad! - Play us again! I won the living room back! Bathroom, please.
- Front entrance! - One more time! I win! The stairway's back.
- I win the hallway.
- I got the garden.
We got the house back.
Shall we go home, Kasumi? Yes.
I should get dinner started.
Only the training hall is left! I bet our living room! Leave our house out of this! No, we said.
But--! - Dad, I'll play him.
- Akane.
.
.
? Ranma, you didn't make it, did you? But I know I can beat him.
Let's play! Hold it! I'm the one he'll play! Rats, he made it.
Ranma.
.
.
! I hope the training helped.
Not one bit.
Not one bit? But with all that training.
.
.
I succeeded in hiding my expression! He's right! You can't see his expression! What tenacity! Ranma Saotome, because of your tenacity, I'll take you on.
- That's the way.
- Very shrewd, Gambling King.
Even though you can't read his expression.
.
.
you know Ranma's still a worse player than Akane.
And the wager? My okonomiyaki diner, Ucchan! It's in writing! Are you sure, Ukyo? It's so risky! I don't care if I lose.
Ranma Honey and I have an agreement.
An agreement? What kind--? Now for a game of Old Maid! The King will bet the Tendo training hall! This'll be easy, Ranma Saotome! Ranma will bet Ukyo's diner! Don't underestimate my poker face! - He's smiling! - He is! Begin! He'll be your cook if he loses?! That's what Ranma Honey promised.
I'm sorry I lost the diner, Miss! Cook, we promised not to talk about it.
Then, as we share hardships.
.
.
Miss.
.
.
"I love you, Ukyo" Cook, what did you say?! Miss! Chef.
.
.
I'm.
.
.
I'm so happy!! Miss!! - And love will surely grow! - Hey.
.
.
Wow! - I've never seen such a game! - Ranma! Take the joker! Rats! The joker again! How--?! Right! Take it! - Rats! - You asked for it! They're just passing the joker back and forth.
They're both equal in ability! That means.
.
.
they're equally stupid! Wait a minute! This card is nicked and worn! I get it! It's the joker, worn out from being picked so much! Here goes! Sorry, King.
I'll never pick the joker again-- Erk!! Dirty King! While Ranma was picking the card.
.
.
he slipped the joker in! He cheated! - So that's it! - No fair! - Quit it, Akane! - But--! Pick, King.
You're a good sport, Ranma Saotome.
But I'm not easing up.
Agh, rats! The joker again! This could go on forever! Why not settle this with a single draw? Here I have two cards.
Pick the joker and you lose.
It'll be fair and square.
Fine.
Here goes! The King is smiling! I know! He must've switched to two jokers! Ranma, don't pick any! He's cheating! Ranma! I.
.
.
win! Huh?! Yay, well done! Ranma, you're great! We got our training hall back! Hooray! Hooray! I don't get it.
I know I slipped in two jokers.
Which means--?! It was dog luck, but you were great.
Honestly! It was skill.
- Ranma, how.
.
.
? - You cheated? Pretty sneaky, aren't you? Ya gotta beat them at their own game.
That's the end of our gambling hell.
You saved my diner.
.
.
but you've still got to work off your losses from training.
Yes, ma'am.
As if something bad is coming.
It's a bit early, but I'll close for today.
