Paradise Kiss Page #4

Ow!

Careful.

Could I help?

No amateurs.

Oh...I see.

Your attention, please.

The 3rd year Fashion Show

rehearsal is about ta begin.

Please assemble in the Auditorium.

Here we go.

Shall we?

Didn't rehearsal go right?

All she had to do was walk.

Couldn't you even do that?

It looked like slapstick comedy!

You're like a robot!

Well, she's never walked

on a runway before.

All she has to do

is walk normally!

This room's in use?

We'll find another one.

Sorry to bother you.

What's she glowing about?

I hate her!

I'm going to go and practice.

Be back in 30 minutes.

it's almost show time.

Your attention, please.

The Fashion Show is beginning.

Please come to the Auditorium.

Don't look around. it's too late.

I shouldn't have treated this

as just a game.

Don't worry.

A festival's supposed to be fun.

No. I can't mess up

in your very last dress.

I'm the only one

who didn't take this seriously.

What else is new?

When did you take anything seriously?

You're all pretend.

You pretend to try hard,

to brood, to be different...

George...

I'm sorry.

You know, Carrie...

...ever since I can remember,

I never felt right as a male.

Inside I was a girl...

...but I had to live as a boy...

...one long day after another.

Then in Grade 3 I told that

to a boy named George...

...and a while later

he gave me a hand-made dress.

With that one dress, I was reborn

from a lifetime of tears.

With make-up and a pretty dress,

a girl is reborn over and over.

Beautiful clothes give people

courage and confidence.

That's why we've gone on

making them.

Maybe in the dress we've made...

...courage will work its magic on you.

Hurry!

Wait, Arashi!

Not so fast!

I can't run any more!

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see Hayasaka.

Then get in there. it's starting.

When's Yukari?

Three more to go.

Please! Walk straight.

There's Kaori's team.

Kaori's piece is great!

She could sell it right now.

She's good!

Well done!

You were great!

Thanks!

They worked really hard.

Oi course. If you don't,

you get nowhere.

You're next.

Hand.

Left hand.

That's my wish.

Be like one.

You're on!

Yukari!

You don't have to walk straight.

Sway, or turn ii you like,

as long as it's your own walk.

Walk on your own feet.

I'll be waiting here.

I'll be fine. Leave it to me.

Maybe I'm not the best,

but I'll walk like no one else.

I'll be so in their face

they'll be jealous.

I'll take everyone in this hall

up to paradise.

Go, Yukari!

She looks great!

Just don't fall!

Well? Did I walk right?

George?

Is that...

...for us?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Why did we come second?

Smile. Act like an adult.

You heard how they cheered.

That was for you...

...not for our dress.

Our last festival's over.

Yukari...

...I hated you at first...

...but now I love you.

Too bad. I voted for your team.

Thanks.

Liar!

You voted for them, to get revenge.

Bad joke.

Why are you angry?

Why second?

His dress was the best!

You said it was a child's game...

No one wants to see his kid lose!

Weren't those George's parents?

What happens now?

Don't worry.

An alumnus has given me a job.

Miwako, too.

Yeah?

Change of direction.

Para Kiss didn't sell.

Me and Miwako, together forever.

Yeah, since I moved.

No, it was karmic distance.

I'm closer to Miwako that way

than you are.

No, if Arashi had moved,

I'd probably be with you.

What about you two?

I'm taking entrance exams.

What about you?

Me, too.

You are?

Yeah. Why?

Well, you have a talent...

I do?

You were like a real model.

You were gorgeous.

Man, you're heavy!

You're crazy. Me, gorgeous?

Well, whatever you do,

I intend to be around.

Mom...

Thank you for coming. I...

Just come home, will you?

I've been worried sick.

I'm sorry.

Yukari...

...I won't try to run your life

any more.

Do the things you want to do.

Thanks far everything.

I'm going home.

Leaving without a goodbye?

That's a bit rude.

The show's over.

You're done with me, right?

You're going home?

Yeah. Mom wants me to.

Yeah?

It wasn't very long,

but thanks for everything.

Yukari...

...would you like to have dinner?

Sorry. I'm meeting Tokumori.

A date?

You're going dressed like that?

Clothes for a make-or-break date...

George!

What restaurant?

No!

Leave it to me.

You'll be the belle oi the ball.

What I mean is...

...I can't afford these clothes.

Where are you going?

A greasy-chopstick?

No! A family restaurant.

Well, you can dress cheap

and still be stylish.

So this is what's popular now...

No wonder this genius can't sell.

But this is nice.

This, too.

Not bad.

Now make-up.

She's sure taking her time!

You guys can go.

No! I want to see you

tell Caroline you love her.

Don't worry.

I know she likes you.

I hope so.

She said she'd had three years

of unrequited love.

She did?

You didn't realize?

Boy, are you dense!

You're made for each other.

Miwako...

Will you go home, please?

What?

Go away, will you!

Why do you enjoy picking my clothes...

...for a date I'm going

with another guy?!

I don't get it.

Why did you kiss me, then?

You're going to Paris alone!

I want to be a model.

A professional one.

Today I was all excited...

...and the crying looked stupid,

but I want to try ii again.

Yeah?

Do you think I can make it?

Do I have the talent?

You don't get it, do you.

It's not talent, it's desire.

If you want it, you'll get it.

Nothing happens unless

you believe in yourself.

You'll manage.

But I won't be around

to hold your hand.

Will you be OK?

Yes.

I'll do it alone.

All the best, then.

Goodbye.

Hayasaka!

You look strangely sentimental.

Are you still going?

Why go if it means

leaving the girl you love?

What's that for?

To go to Paris with you, of course.

All I've ever wanted to do

was the patterns for your designs.

You're stuck with me

till the very end.

I shouldn't have given you that dress.

So what are you going to do?

Of course I'm going.

it's the logical choice.

Every designer needs a muse.

That one perfect woman.

Does a designer who leaves his muse

have a future?

Shortly after that,

George went to Paris.

I didn't go to see him aft

You're sleeping again?

That's all you've been doing.

Go away.

Is sleeping what you wanted to do?

Come on, get up!

A parcel came for you.

At leas! he could have

written his name!

What has he sent me

after taking off to Paris alone?

What did he leave ?

I'll never sell any of these.

They all have memories.

I want someone special

to wear them.

That? my wish.

Be like one.

Walk on your own feet.

I'll be waiting here.

Hiroyuki?

She's doing real well.

I said I loved her,

and she dumped me.

What?

Yukari Hayasaka?

No! Just kidding!

So Madoka,

have you got a job offer yet?

No.

But there's lots of time.

Great!

Let's take a break.

Good work.

We're late, so we'll have to

eat in the car again.

I'm really sorry.

Then we have five

magazine interviews...

...and the 'Somehow Smart People'
