p 102   students       A girl!?

                       That Ukyou!?

        Genma          That Ukyou!She is a girl.

        students       And she looked for Ranma all this time..

        students       Can't be just childhood friends..

        students       Can't be.

        Ranma          Ukyou..

p 103   Ranma          Ukyou.. Since when..

        Ukyou          Since when.. What do you mean..

        Ukyou          It hot!

        Ukyou          What are you doing, stupid!

        Ranma          Even if I pour hot water, she doesn't

                       turn into a boy.

        Ukyou          What do you think I am!

p 104   Genma          Ranma, I'll re-introduce you.

        Genma          This is Ukyou, your fiancee.

        Ranma          It's the first time I heard that.

p 105   narration          It was 10 years ago..

        Genma          Ukyou says she wants to be Ranma's wife?

        Genma          Thanks, but Ranma already has a fiancee.

        Ukyou's father          Oh, that's too bad.

        Ukyou's father          I was thinking about giving you the

                       yatai as the dowry.

        Genma          Ok, we'll take her.

        Ukyou          You broke that promise,

                  And just went off with the yatai..

        Ukyou          Since that day I threw away the fact

                       that I was a girl..

p 106   kids          Ukyou was thrown away by her fiancee.

                       They just took the dowry and ran.

                       That's too bad.

        narration Using that misery as a springboard,

        narration I vowed vengeance!

        Ukyou          Day after day I trained the okonomiyaki

                       style facing the rough ocean!

        guys I don't think facing the ocean really

                       had much meaning..

        guys But I can feel the power from her.

p 107   girls          I feel sorry for her..

        girls It's only natural to hold a grudge..

        Genma          That's right..

                       It's natural to hold a grudge.

        Genma          Here Ukyou. Beat up Ranma as much

                       as you want!

        Ranma          It's your fault too.

                       What did I do.

p 108   Genma          I promised to take Ukyou.

                       Although I already promised with

                       Akane's family.

        Genma          It was very hard to throw away the yatai.

        Genma          I was at a loss as to what to do..

        Genma          So I decided to have Ranma decide..

        Akane          What.

        Ranma          What?

        girls          Ranma, you had already chosen Akane..

        Ranma          I don't remember that..

p 109   Genma          Ranma, answer you father's question

                       with your heart.

        Genma          Okonomiyaki and Ukyou, which do you

                       like better.

        Ranma          Um..

        Ranma          Okonomiyaki!

        Genma          With that on word, my decision was made..

        Genma          Oh.. It's natural to hold a grudge..

        Ranma          Wait. That was when I was a kid..

        Ukyou          You guys!

p 110   girls          You scum!

        girls          What lousy father and son.

        girls          You're an enemy of women.

        Ranma          Enemy of women..

        Ranma          I didn't know until now that Ukyou

                       was a girl..

        girls          Makes no difference!

        Akane          That's too bad.

        girls          Hey!

        girls          Ranma is gone!

        girls          He escaped.

        guy            What? Ukyou's gone too.

p 111   Ukyou          Hey, where are you going.

        Ranma          Shut up and follow me.

        Ranma          Here it is.

        Ranma          Here. Your favorite weapon.

        Ranma          I won't make any excuses.

                       Hit me as much as you want.

        Ukyou          You asked for it..

p 112   Ukyou          I won't hold back. Since you

                       threw me away..

        Ukyou          My life got all messed up!

        Ranma          That..

        Ranma          That's a little too much..

        Ukyou          Shut up!

        Akane          Ranma, are you ok..

        Ukyou          Since that day..

p 113   Ukyou          I decided that..

        Ukyou          I won't like guys forever!

                       You're cute..

        Ukyou          What..

p 114   Ranma          Ucchan, you've become so cute.

        Ukyou          Cute..

        Ranma          Someday, you'll run into some nice guy..

        Ukyou          That's a lie!

        Ranma          It's not a lie, you are cute..

        Ukyou          Stop it!

        narration        Ugly.

p 115   Ranma          What is it Akane.

        Akane          Good for you. Now you have a cute fiancee.

        Ukyou          You're Akane?

        Ranma          Yeah, the not cute fiancee.

        Akane          Of course I'm..

        Akane          Not cute!

        Ranma          Stupid.

        Ukyou          It's not going well between you two?

        Akane          Just look and you'll know!

        Ranma          See, she's not cute.

p 116   Ukyou          Let's forget about the past.

                       Let's be friends from tomorrow.

        Akane          Good for you. You made up.

        Ranma          ..Um..
