wondering if there was something she forgot to do.
Ami: Oh, definately, definately.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: I mean, it's not as if it would be the first time.
Ami: Yes, yes. She's done it before.

Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: I think that's taking it a little too far.
Ami: Yes. Yes, it is.
Makoto: I mean, she's not really that bad, is she?

Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....

Ami: Technically speaking, though, it is a jet.
Makoto: The effect that had on me....
Ami: Yes, a Boeing, i think it is.
Makoto: All that pain I had to endure.
Ami: Boeing 737. Or an Airbus A300.... One of the two.
Makoto: All because of bloody planes.
Ami: Yes, a bitch, isn't it?
Makoto: .....
Ami: The plane....
Makoto: What about it?
Ami: It's exploded.
Makoto: So it has.
Ami: Port engine just went "kaboom".
Makoto: Fire and smoke everywhere.
Ami: It's spinning to the ground.
Makoto: Lots of people will die....
Ami: Oh well. Not much we can do about it.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: Yeah, you're right.
Ami: Ouch.
Makoto: Jeez.
Ami: That was a big explosion.
Makoto: Yeah, I could feel it from here.
Ami: .....
Makoto: Is aircraft fuel always that explosive?
Ami: Mostly.
Makoto: I see.

Makoto: Very, very late.
Ami: Yes, very very late.
Makoto: Yes, very very late.

Makoto: Oh, I wholeheartedly agree.
Ami: I wonder where she's got to.
Makoto: Maybe she was where that plane came down.
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: Nah, that's not possible. She lives nowhere near that
part of town.
Makoto: Yeah, you're right, as usual.
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: What do you mean by "as usual".
Makoto: Hmm?
Ami: What do you mean by "as usual"?
Makoto: Mean? I meant you're always right about these things.
Ami: Are you saying I'm a smartarse?
Makoto: What makes you think that I think that!?!
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: Sorry.
Makoto: I should think so, too.
Ami: I must be getting touchy.
Makoto: Yeah, all this waiting is beginning to get to me, too.
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: Maybe she's doing this, deliberately.
Makoto: Eh?
Ami: Maybe she made alternative arrangements with Usagi-chan
and Rei-chan.
Makoto: Now that's just being silly.
Ami: Are you calling me silly?
Makoto: Yes, I'm calling you silly. You're allowing your
imagination to run away with you.
Ami: I am not, and it is a genuine possibility.
Makoto: Well I say it's all in your head.
Ami: Tis not.
Makoto: Tis so.
Ami: Tis not.
Makoto: Tis so.
Ami: .....
Makoto: Well, have you given up?
Ami: .....
Makoto: What ARE you staring at?
Ami: .....
Makoto: Ami?
Ami: There is someone rowing a boat down the street.
Makoto: Eh?
Ami: No kidding. There is someone rowing a boat down the
street.
Makoto: Now I know you're letting your imagination run away with
you.
Ami: Look for yourself.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: What do you know.... There IS someone rowing a boat
down the street.
Ami: On little wheels no less.
Makoto: What a novel way to get around.
Ami: If not a little silly.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: She's probably hiding around the corner, having a good
laugh at our expense.
Ami: Yes. yes, she probably is.
END OF PART 4

somewhere in Tokyo. In the background are the sounds of distant

laugh at our expense.
Ami: Yes. yes, she probably is.
Makoto: That bloody cow! I bet she's just over there, behind
that row of bushes, chuckling away all to herself.
Ami: Yes.
Makoto: Some friend she is, doing this to us. Why I ought to
give her the pounding of her life.
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: I'd like to see her get out of this one. She's probably
turn up with that sickening smile on her face, all
innocent. As if we didn't know what was going on.
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: Well, she's got another think coming if she tries to
outwit Kino Makoto. Yessiree.
Ami: Yes.
Makoto: Hehehe. Just you wait, you blond ditz. These fists are
for you!
Ami: Hai.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: Don't just pull out a book like that and start reading
when I'm trying to talk to you.
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: It's so rude.
Ami: Hai.
Makoto: Are you listening to me?
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: You're not listening to me, are you?
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: Hey Ami, wanna date with Umino?
Ami: Hai.

Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: Does Minako give headjobs to all the boys in the
locker room?
Ami: Hmm?
Makoto: I see you've finally woken up.
Ami: Does Minako do WHAT?
Makoto: Well, at least you can still be roused out of your
bookworm fugue, if nothing else.
Ami: Mako-chan, that's sick! How could you say such a
thing about Mina-chan?
Makoto: It's a good thing you didn't pay attention to all
the other things I said, then.
Ami: Like what?
Makoto: Forget it. It isn't important.
Ami: Mako-chan....
Makoto: What's your book about?
Ami: Hmm?
Makoto: What's your book about?
Ami: You mean this book?
Makoto: Yes, that book. Can you see any other books lying
about?
Ami: There's no need to be rude.
Makoto: Sorry.
Ami: If you're vaguely interested, it happens to be an
educational summary on the life cycle of the garden
snail.
Makoto: You're right, I was only vaguely interested.
Ami: To which I say it is extremely slow reading.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: .....
Ami: Yes.
Makoto: Why, you little....
Ami: Ah ah ah.... Settle down, now. Remember why we're
here.
Makoto: .....
Ami: .....
Makoto: To wait for Minako?
Ami: Good guess. Ten points for Mako-chan.
Makoto: She's really late, you know.
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: Really, really late.
Ami: Hmm.
Makoto: Will you stop zoning off into your book and pay more
attention to me?
