Martian Successor Nadesico (機動戦艦ナデシコ)

‐ When the first Tulip appeared,

all we knew was that it came from beyond Jupiter.

‐ There’s no question, sir,

the target is heading directly toward Mars.

Our projections indicate that it will

probably land near the planet’s south pole.

‐ The evidence suggests that they

intend to attack our colony.

We must prevent it from landing on Mars at all cost.

All vessels, hold your fire until the enemy

enters your obligate targeting range!

‐ It’s continuing to advance, sir.

It’ll be inside our range of fire in 20 seconds.

‐ Fire!

‐ They’re repelling all of

our beam projectors somehow, sir.

We can’t get near them!

‐ They have some kind of gravitron wave shield.

‐ Sir, we’ve got multiple small

bogeys emerging from the Tulip.

‐ Hold shields, we’ll fire with lasers!

Impossible, we aren’t getting any kills!

‐ Admiral, the computer’s predicting

that the Tulip will reach the south pole in 60 seconds.

‐ Abandon ship, we’re gonna ram that thing!

‐ What was that?

‐ What’s happening?

‐ HQ, HQ!

‐ You’re wasting your time. ‐ Huh?

‐ Everything on the surface must have been vaporized.

‐ Would you like one?

‐ Wow, thank you.

‐ How kind.

‐ Oh, no, I’ve got a whole crate of them here.

‐ You’re a nice man, are you married?

‐ I’m Ai, what’s your name?

‐ Get down!

‐ Powers gone, we’re trying

to open the doors manually, please don’t panic.

Keep firing, we’ve gotta get these civilians out of here.

‐ I’ll try to hold that thing off, get outta here!

‐ No, stop!

‐ How do you like that?

‐ You’re wonderful, mister!

‐ Come on, the doors are opening.

‐ Huh?

‐ Huh?

No!

‐ One year has now passed since the disastrous

defeat at the first Battle of Mars.

If the military continues to be unable

to stop the invaders, the Earth will soon fall, as well.

‐ Which is quite unacceptable.

‐ I have a question. ‐ And what is that, Mr. Hori?

‐ Exactly what does this have to do with me?

‐ The Schiaperelli Project, are you aware of it?

‐ Of course.

‐ We want to implement it, and do to your extensive

military experience, we believe

that you’re the best choice for carrying it out.

‐ I don’t know, it’s been a while since I wore a uniform.

‐ Ah, but this assignment would

involve a lot of lovely young women.

‐ Oh?

‐ And your bonus, now, let’s see.

How’s this?

‐ May I ask you one other question?

‐ Of course.

‐ Is that after taxes?

‐ Well, now that that’s settled,

let’s assemble our human resources.

‐ Our crew? ‐ Yes, our crew.

I’ve chosen the very best, of course, a few

of them have some slight personality disorders.

‐ You’ve been doing this for three days, you know?

‐ Quiet, a few more spot welds and Lilly will be invincible.

‐ Mr Uribatake.

‐ Here I am, this isn’t what it looks like.

‐ Here I am, I’m Lethal Lily.

‐ The chick mechanic.

‐ You’re unlicensed, but very skilled.

‐ Won’t you join us?

‐ Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!

Come on, let’s go, I’m ready to boogie.

‐ But don’t you want to negotiate your contract first?

‐ Yeah, fine, I don’t care.

If it means getting away from those two,

I’d work in the bowels of hell.

‐ Are you sure about this, Miss Haruka?

I thought you liked being a secretary

to the company’s president. ‐ Well, I did.

But this looks much more interesting.

‐ Time for us to fight! ‐ All right, let’s go.

‐ Yeah!

‐ Great, fantastic. ‐ Thank you very much, sir.

‐ Thank you, and you. ‐ Megumi.

‐ Huh?

‐ Take a breather, these gentlemen

from Nergal would like to talk to ya.

‐ Huh?

‐ Yurika!

‐ Yurika, your father’s starting to get upset.

‐ Well, I’m sorry, but this uniform is just so‐‐

Uh, it’s just not me.

‐ It’s a bit late to complain now.

‐ I know, but speaking of late,

are you sure quitting the UF to

follow me to Nergal is such a good idea?

‐ Well, I was worried that you might need help.

‐ Oh, Jun, you’re the best friend

that a girl could ask for. ‐ Yeah, sure.

‐ Yurika, damn it, Yurika, you were

supposed to leave an hour ago.

‐ Daddy. ‐ You’re a blanking officer!

‐ She’s still getting dressed right now!

‐ My little girl is a woman.

Not only is she an officer,

but she’s well endowed, as well.

Yurika, your daddy is very proud.

‐ Evil lizards

from Jupiter are attacking the Earth.

‐ It’s time to mop them out with our united fists.

United forces protect the earth.

‐ This has been a message

from the united‐‐ ‐ Not another air raid.

‐ Hey, what’s holding up my stir fry?

‐ Hey, oh, not again.

‐ Oh, there goes another one.

‐ When will they realize they’re no match for the Jovians?

‐ Dudes, the fry cooks freaking out!

‐ Huh?

‐ Hey, your fry cook’s not sick is he?

‐ Nah, just scared. ‐ Of what?

‐ The Jovians.

‐ Ah, damn, I burned it.

‐ Sorry, Akito, but I put two weeks severance pay

on your card. ‐ You mean, I’m fired?

‐ I’m afraid so, look, there’s a war going on

and if word gets out that I’ve

got a yellow pilot working here.

‐ What, it’s all because of this?

‐ Only pilots help those on Earth, Akito,

and if everyone saw the way you froze up today.

‐ But this job is the only thing I had.

‐ I know and I’m sorry, but you can’t keep running

away from your problems forever, you know.

‐ Damn it, what’s wrong with running away?

And who’s business is it anyway?

Okay, so, maybe I do need to confront my fears,

but how can I stand up to my nightmares

if my legs are running like nature intended?

I’m brave, but my feet aren’t.

Damn feet, ah, you jerk!

Huh?

Ah!

Why me, God, why always me?

‐ Oh, my, gosh, I’m so sorry.

Oh, Jun, get the first aid kit.

I’m so terribly, terribly, sorry.

How can you ever forgive me?

Are you hurt, is anything broken?

‐ Hey, Yurika, I know it’s late,

but do you really need all this stuff?

‐ Jun, a girl can’t be too prepared

and I spent three days picking those out,

so just find a place to put them.

‐ Yes, Ma’am. ‐ Thanks so much

for helping me pack my bag. ‐ Eh, it’s no big deal.

And it’s kinda obvious that you’re not very

good at packing. ‐ Oh?

‐ Yeah, you need to consolidate the fragile things

toward the center of the case, and you should wrap them

with small articles of clothing like this‐‐

Like, these, p‐p‐panties!

‐ Hmm!

‐ Gah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,

I’m sorry, I’m sorry!

‐ You know, this is gonna sound really strange,

but haven’t you and I met some place before,

and don’t you feel like there’s some connection here?

‐ No, honestly I really don’t feel like

that at all actually. ‐ Oh, how very strange.

‐ Yurika! ‐ I’m coming!

Well, thanks for all your help, bye!

‐ There’s no way that’s going in the trunk.
