North American Sailor Moon episode 2: Talk Radio
Serena: They say Love's a many splendid thing-- but not today on Sailor Moon.
The evil Jadeite and his minions turn the power of Love into a dangerous weapon,
and only I can stop them. Don't move. I'll be right back.
[Intro.]
[Commercial Break.]
[The Negaverse. Queen Beryl is on her throne poised over her crystal. Her
minions form a circle around the room in the background. Jadeite stands in the
middle of the room.]
Beryl: Jadeite, present yourself to me. Tell me of your progress gathering energy
from the Earthlings.
Jadeite: My Queen, I am pleased to inform you that we found a new source of energy
in humans. Apparently, then expend much of it on an emotion they call... Love.
Beryl: Yes, I've heard of it. You have a plan to capture this energy, Jadeite?
Jadeite: Yes, My Queen-- I've already dispatched my servant, Fro, to take full
advantage of the human's weakness. She awaits my command.
Beryl: Very well, then... Just try not to disappoint me as you did with your
last effort. That is all. You may proceed.
[Various people are alone listening to a radio-broadcast show at night. Serena is
by herself in her PJ's on her bed doing the same. She clutches her pillow and
daydreams.]
DJ: Good evening, all you night-owls. It's the mid-night hour, and you know what
that means-- time for... the Love Line. Tonight, we have a very special love
letter from a very special lady... reaching out to long-lost flame, whom she
would like to get in touch with again. It signed, Hopeful Haruna.
[Random listeners laugh and shout.]
Serena: Haruna? Oh-ho, don't tell me Miss H sent the Love Line a letter. It can't
be her. Teachers never have boy friends.
DJ: Before I read the letter, I just like to remind all you listeners that the
Love Line always wants to help the lovelorn. Write us. If we read your letter on
the air, we'll give you a romantic prize.
[Luna enters.]
Luna: D-oh...
Serena: Uh. Uhhhh...! I'd trade love to have a show reading all those dreamy
letters.
DJ: Dear Lost-Love, it's been many years since we last each other, but you are
never far from my heart.
Luna: You should be in bed.
Serena: I want to be a Love Line DJ...
Luna: Give me a break.
Serena: ... Or... maybe I could to TV.
Luna: Forget it!!
Serena: Huh!? What's with you, Luna!?
Luna: I'm fed up with a certain someone who never takes anything she's supposed
to do seriously.
Serena: Uh...
[Serena turns her head and makes a face]
Luna: You got to stop wasting your time with all these silly ideas, Serena;
you're destined to fight the evils of the Negaverse-- or will you ever get it?
Serena: Hmm...
Luna: Tsk... aw...
Serena:Maybe I don't want to!...
[Serena hops in bed]
Serena: Uh! Good-night!... party-pooper...
Luna: Huh...
[Next day. Serena's house. Kitchen.]
F: Honey? Why'd you circle the date in _red magic-marker_?
M: Oh, did I? Maybe there's something special about this date.
[F giggles]
F: Oh! You mean besides being our anniversary and my taking you out to dinner?
M: Oh-ho-ho? You did remember it... Say ah...
F: Ah...
Serena: Ahh!!
[F and M look surprised.]
F: [with toast in mouth] That girl is always late.
M: Oh...
[Serena run in and grabs a piece of toast]
Serena: Hello! Good-bye! See ya' later!
[Outside school.]
Serena: Please don't ring! Please. Huh, huh...
[Serena catches her breath.]
[Inside class room. All the students are there. The teacher is not. The student
sit there, surprised.]
Serena: Where is she?-- Miss H never misses class.
Molly: If she's out, we'll get a substitute.
Serena: Free day.
Melvin: Maybe she'll let me read my reports on yellow earth-worms to the class.
Serena: Hmm...
Several students: Huh!
[Haruna staggers in groaning...]
