Ryouga's dialogue here was basically a total rip-off. Hate to be a pill,
but you could've made a bit more effort to adapt it to the it to suit
Ryouga/Ranma type conversation.

Namely because, the next scene doesn't work without some kind of trust...
or some other motivation for Ranma to participate.

Ryoga began to sweat.  "You mean you DO want to take the red pill,
right?"

"Nope."

"But you HAVE to take the pill.  You're the ONE!"

"I ain't takin' nothin'."

"TAKE YOUR PILL, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"NO!"

Ryoga leapt at Ranma and the two began exchanging blows as Ukyo shouted
at them.  Eventually Ryoga managed to get the pill in Ranma's mouth and
clamped his hand over it.  Ukyo unholstered her spatula and smacked
Ranma on the back, causing him to gulp.  He glared at her.

"I'm sorry, Ranchan," said Ukyo contritely.  "I had to do it.  Let him
go, Ryoga."

"Nuh-uh."

"Ryogaaaa..."

"Mggooga mrr mrr, Mrrkn," threatened Ranma.
