Come right now!

We'll be standing by.

Okay!

Yoko.

It's me, Yu! Remember?

It's not working.

Let's do this our way.

Abduct her!

Yoko, listen to me!

Come on, Yoko, look at me!

Yoko, can't you remember me?

Yu, get in!

This is the only way!

Come on, close the door!

- Let me go!

- We want to help you.

Help me?

Let me go, perverts!

Where are we going?

Let me go! I said let me go!

Let go of me, perverts!

Let go of me!

Put her in!

Get the chair!

Pervert... pervert.

Pervert. Pervert.

It'll take a while. Here.

Thank you.

I had to break into your

house for this.

Thanks a lot.

We'll leave you two alone.

Hungry?

I see...

What's funny?

I just remembered...

when you came to the park

in the Scorpion costume.

I screwed up, didn't I?

- Want this?

- No.

- Wanna sleep?

- No.

So?

Didn't you sleep at all?

Did you eat anything?

I won't eat until Yoko does.

On a hunger strike, huh?

Hang in there.

Good luck.

I'm not cold.

Right.

Hungry?

Okay...

It hurts...

Does it?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Get off me, pervert!

Let go, pervert!

That again?

Pervert!

What's wrong with being a pervert?

You understand nothing!

Come back to this side!

What side?

To the real world!

You mean your world

Your world is not...

So I'm a pervert!

You might think I'm one...

Don't call me you!

A person like you...

You're a pervert by

anybody's standards!

Who cares about the standards

of normal people?

Listen to me!

You're definitely a misfit,

and I can live with that.

But I don't want you to

belong to Zero!

- Stay with me.

- Let go!

- Stay!

- Let go!

Let me go!

Do you know Corinthians I 3

I don't.

Love, the greatest of them all.

If I speak in the tongues of men and

angels, but have not love,

I have become sounding brass

or a tinkling cymbal.

And if I have prophecy

and know all mysteries and

all knowledge,

but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods,

and if I deliver my body

that I may boast

but have not love,

nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,

love is kind, is not jealous,

it is not inflated

and does not boast,

It is not discourteous,

it is not selfish,

it is not irritable,

it does not enumerate the evil.

Love never falls in ruins,

but whether prophecies,

they will be abolished,

or tongues, they will cease

or knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and

we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes,

the imperfect will be superseded.

When I was an infant,

I spoke as an infant,

I reckoned as an infant,

when I became an adult,

I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror

in an enigma,

but then face to face.

Now I know in part,

but then I shall know

as also I was fully known.

But now remains

faith, hope, love! These three.

But the greatest of these is...

Love!

You don't even know these words.

That sex-maniac priest taught you

nothing about the Bible!

You know nothing about God!

Are you talking about Dad?

Yes! And now he's becoming

a better person.

Don't call him a sex-maniac!

Did you ever think about God

when you lived with him?

Come to the church with me

and we'll talk.

If you want to be at one with God

we can talk about Him with

others at church!

I'm already with the Zero Church.

Zero is not God's church,

it's just a sham!

What about you?

I'm a pervert but not a phoney!

I am a pervert with dignity.

If you want something holy,

choose a deity,

Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus Christ.

But not the Zero Church!

Zero is nowhere near Jesus, Buddha

nor Mohammed! Zero is just lies!

Liar!

- Who is?

- Liar, liar!

- Why?

- You're the one who lied!

You stole my pants, pretended to

be Scorpion and never told God!

Huh, pervert boy?

I know I am a timid liar.

But I won't hold this back.

You're being deceived.

I'll get you back from them!

I'll never give up!

Let me go!

I'll get you back, Yoko.

Let go of me!

I'll get you back.

Let go, you idiot!

Who do you think you are?

Corinthians I 3.

But have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods,

and if I deliver my body

that I may boast

but have not love,

nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,

love is kind,

it is not jealous, not inflated

and does not boast,

It is not discourteous,

it is not selfish,

it is not irritable,

it does not enumerate the evil.

It covers all things,

it has faith for all things,

it hopes in all things,

it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins...

I want to go out and

see the sea.

I won't run away, I promise.

I promise.

Yoko, get up quickly!

Get up, Yoko!

Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?

Sorry, we screwed up!

Is this the boy you told me about?

Yes.

Look, Yoko's in a good position.

You love Yoko, huh?

Please don't!

Yoko, look.

He's beaten up but he

still gets a hard-on.

Well?

You want it cut off?

Your name is Yu, right?

You're so disgraceful.

You get an erection so easily.

Cut it off.

Come on.

Do it now.

You hate him, don't you?

Come on!

Do it now!

Stop it!

Yoko, I can't help it.

Sorry but whenever I see you,

I get a hard-on.

Pervert!

I love her!

Shut up, pervert!

Come on, Yoko!

I'll try not to get a hard-on.

That's not enough.

We'll discipline you at the Church.

We'll make sure that

you never get hard.

She's right.

You and your sinful boner

need to be trained by us.

Okay, I'll join you.

Yoko, well done.

This is dangerous like

your little weenie.

I'll keep my eye on it.

Good morning.

Isn't this a wonderful place?

Read this carefully.

Good morning.

When you reach this spiritual level,

you'll be a Prompter, not an Actor.

She became a Prompter

at such a young age.

You know what prompters do?

They remind the actors

of the lines they forgot.

We'll check on you later.

If you get a hard-on when you

see Yoko...

I won't get hard!

That's good.

Give it to me.

Give it to me...

You're all in a state similar to

cave dwellers.

Plato wrote the cave allegory.

The cave dwellers don't see

the light of the fire.

They merely see the shadows

on the cave wall.

That's the state you are in now.

You might have thought that being

uninhibited was freedom.

You're wrong...

Yes, ma'am?

I see you're studying hard.

Are you liberated from your libido?

Please don't...

I told you that I was

interested in you.

Please don't!

You're different from other men.

Why is that?

Please stop...

Tell me.

Why is it?

I'm just a...

Just what?

You can get hard, you know...

You're just pretending to

study hard to deceive us?

Right, Yu?

Original sin boy!

Good girl.

You stole my heart away

I'm a cave, a great big cave

You took everything away from me

I'm a cave, I'm happy.

A stupid kid comes

running through me

Working hard?

Yes, it feels great!

Wanna go to training camp?

Training camp?

For I week at Mt. Fuji.

You'll meditate better and

it'll help your transition.

Great, I'd love to go!

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning.

Let's start with a word you
