Protect her!

Who is she?

You'll pay for this!

Not in a million years!

Who are you?

Thank you.

That was so helpful.

And you were so cool.

It's nothing. Those wimps...

That was great.

My name is Yoko.

Thank you so much.

What is your name?

Miss Scorpion.

I...

I'm Miss Scorpion.

Nice to meet you.

Miss Scorpion?

Yes, don't forget that, honey.

Come on, kiss her now.

And the wind blew her skirt up...

My first hard-on!

Come on.

You're a darling.

I like you.

See you.

My prayers have been answered!

What's this feeling?

I've never felt like this...

What do you call this feeling?

I finally had a hard-on.

What's this feeling?

My heart hurts...

I want to photograph these panties!

This is a hard-on!

The hard-on of a man!

This is what a man is made of!

I did it, I did it!

Who are you?

Who is she?

What was that?

I'll try this area.

Is that a good move?

Captain?

- Captain!

- Hey, Captain.

Are you okay?

Sorry, guys.

I have a shooting schedule

written up.

We'll be staking out between

those points.

Okay, each of us station here,

here and...

Here, at points A, B, C and D.

We know that.

Oh, you do?

Well, we'll stake out

at those points.

Next week, we'll choose

the Grand Prix photo.

Let's go get them!

How you doing there?

No big waves yet.

We have a nice south-east wind.

Put your faith in it and

you'll be okay.

Roger.

I'm finished. I can't function anymore.

Hey.

How are you?

More photos?

Oh, it's you.

I'm glad we met.

What's wrong?

Chin up.

Right...

Bye.

She's the one.

The next day, an unbelievable

thing happened.

We have a new student.

Her name is Yoko Ozawa.

Come in.

I'm Yoko Ozawa, nice to meet you.

And she walked in.

There's a seat, you can sit there.

Yes.

Stupid teacher, stupid classroom...

Stupid men. I've had enough of this.

Nice to meet you...

A fake ambush...

All men, die.

Thank you, Father for your love and

the food on the table.

In the name of the Lord

Jesus Christ, amen.

I want to talk to you.

What is it?

Remember I said I wanted you to

meet somebody?

Yes.

We're having dinner with that

person tomorrow.

All I can think of is her. Why?

What did that dream mean?

Maybe Kaori would know.

So I asked her.

Kaori.

Do you masturbate?

No! I'm a Christian!

Christians don't masturbate?

No... I don't think so.

Sorry...

What about?

That I walked away from you.

Oh, that?

What's going on?

God is incredible!

It was divine intervention.

Because you ran away from me,

I felt empowered...

and then I raped him beautifully.

"A beautiful rape?"

Right. After you left, I made

frantic love to him!

That did it for him.

Thanks to you and the Lord above.

Whatever.

Is it a sin to be a lesbian?

Oh, yeah. An unredeemable sin.

Why do you ask?

No reason...

Dykes are perverts.

Watch out for them.

Perverts?

I didn't care anymore

who Kaori wanted to marry.

Yoko.

What?

Maybe you don't want me to?

What?

I want to marry him.

Marry him...

Oh, marriage.

I had much more important things

to think about.

Go right ahead.

- Can I?

- Sure.

So, maybe I am a...

Maria is so close to me...

And she has no idea who I am.

Maybe I am a...

What should I do?

Maybe I'm a lesbian.

Maybe the only way for me to

meet her is in drag.

Maybe it's possible that

I love Miss Scorpion.

Make up your mind!

Hello, it's Miss Scorpion.

I hope you weren't hurt?

Thanks for helping me.

It was nothing, really.

Whenever I see men harassing

a damsel, I blow my fuse.

Men are horrible.

Yes, they're all horrible.

I love you, Miss Scorpion.

I love you too, Yoko.

I want to be with Miss Scorpion.

Me too...

But I'm not Scorpion...

Yoko...

I'm in love with her!

Good morning.

Hi.

Wait a minute...

Don't I remind you of someone?

Look at me and think. Well...?

But wait...!

It's Renaissance humanism.

I guess you know the word "humanism."

It's a human-centric philosophy.

Write that down please.

It persisted throughout

the Middle Ages

and Modern Times.

Modern Times starts around the

I 6th Century...

What do you want from me?

I'm asking you a question!

You dumb-ass!

Stay away from me!

Or you'll get hurt.

Hello...

Senpai! Meet me with the costume!

The Scorpion costume!

Here she comes.

Sh*t!

- Don't forget the hat.

- She's coming!

She's almost here!

Go get her!

My God! Miss Scorpion!

Oh, is it Yoko?

Hi, Miss Scorpion, good to see you!

How have you been?

Good. Do you live around here?

Yes, over there somewhere.

Yeah! I'm happy to hear that.

I'm happy to see you again.

I'm so happy.

Me too...

Oh, sorry...

It's okay.

Miss Scorpion?

Yes. What?

Oh, nothing.

- What?

- It's nothing.

Come on, don't be a tease.

Is it weird if a woman

loves another woman?

Mother tells me it's perverse.

Do you think so too?

I don't know but even a pervert

has a life history.

Life is what you make it, being

a pervert is just one way of life.

Oh, I see...

Yoko, don't look down at perverts.

Keep that in mind.

Now go home, it's dangerous

with those punks around.

Here's my number.

Call me if you need me.

Miss Scorpion!

Here!

Can you live with this?

I'll confess to her someday.

Yeah, you should.

I'll tell her how I feel about her.

Good for you!

Unbelievably it got worse.

The worst came that very night.

I dread meeting that woman again...

There she is.

It's Kaori. Did you miss her?

We met in the street.

Really? Sit down everybody.

Just like the old days.

I'm so glad we're together again.

And then somebody walked in.

You're late!

And it was...

Hello, I'm Tetsu Honda.

- I'm Yoko.

- This is Yoko.

Bummer...

Say something.

I'm Yu.

Let's sit down.

Nice to meet you.

Here I go...

Yoko, Yu. We have something

to tell you.

I guess it's better if we do this

before we get started.

We're thinking of getting married.

He'll be my brother?

But you're a priest.

I thought you couldn't marry.

So I'm thinking of quitting.

To be with her, I'll go back

to just being a Christian.

Can you do that?

I need to wait until Vatican

approves it...

The point is that I'm not

good enough to be a priest.

Besides I don't want to sneak

around like we did before.

Yu's birthday is in July.

And Yoko's is in December.

You'll be his little sister

by 5 months.

I'm going to the toilet.

Did I make her feel bad?

No.

Maybe it was too abrupt...

It must be Yoko.

Excuse me.

Yoko needs Scorpion!

Maybe it was too soon.

- What's going on?

- Take it easy.

Hello?

- Miss Scorpion!

- What's up?

Sorry to bother you but

I'm going to be moving

to your neighbourhood.

Oh, that's great!

Mother drags me round,

I'm used to it, but...

Sorry to call you up like this.

It's no problem.

I'm with my new family at

a restaurant now.

And they are...

They are...?

Really disgusting.

The new father and brother.

Especially the brother is...

creepy.

Creepy...

He follows me around

like a stalker.

And I have to live with him!

He's a pervert.

A pervert...

Yoko.
