This is a transcript of the girl-watching (courtesy of Mr. pervert Bowman) PA in Cross, Rena's version. This was done mainly as a comparison to the original North American translation from Second Story, which can also be found at http://humangray.com/rag A full-on, side by side, direct comparison of all four versions of this PA is available at: http://humangray.com/rag/meat/so2se_girlwatchingparena.html Many thanks to Star Keziah for the JP text and for formatting the chart! ========== (!) (...) (sweatdrop) (heart) etc. = the SO2 emoticons; (<) is the yellow alert/noticing things emoticon, and (;;;) is the nervous multiple sweatdrops as opposed to one big one. xD *these are actions ...* /This highlights words or utterances that are spoken in the voice acting but not reflected in the text/ #, ##, and ### denote different options and their results. __________ *Rena walks around the center of the square, then stops* Rena: What're those two talking about? *camera moves up to show Bowman and Claude standing by the church, looking to the other side* Claude: Hmm ... she's about a six, I guess. Bowman: Damn, you've got high standards. I'd say at least an eight. *camera moves to show a random girl* Claude: Say, that girl over there kinda looks like Ninay, doesn't she? Bowman: Really? Hah! If she looked like Ninah, then she'd be a perfect ten! - (<) So, uh, what about that chick, Claude? Claude: (<) *camera shows another random girl* Um ... an eight, maybe. Bowman: (;;;) Oh, come on! Now that's a six if I ever saw one. Rena: (angry cloud) I can't believe this. So this is what guys do. *storms up to them* # So ... what's my score? ## You two are disgusting. ### I think you're both worth 0 points. __________ # Rena: So, how many points would you give me? Bowman and Claude: (!) Claude: Ah ... uh, Rena!? Bowman: What're you doing here? Rena: *walks up* I just thought I'd join in the little game you two had going here. How many points am I worth, do you think? I'm just dying to know. Bowman: *looks at Claude* Oh, well, there's no doubt what score you'd get. Right, Claude? Claude: (;;;) *looks at Bowman* Uh ... yeah. Yeah! Definitely, Bowman! *turns back to Rena* - /Oh/ You're a perfect ten all the way, Rena. Bowman: *turns back to Rena* (;;;) Yeah! Don't see girls as cute as you walkin' around every day. Rena: Hmm. *walks closer and looks at both of them* - Pathetic. *turns away* [If you talk to Claude] Rena: So ... how's the girl watching going? Found any cute girls since I left? Claude: *looks down* (...) [If you talk to Bowman] Rena: I'm sure Ninay would just love to hear about this game. Bowman: (sweatdrop) Aw, c'mon! Look, I'm really sorry, okay? [END OF PA FOR OPTION #] __________ ## Rena: You guys are being really rude, you know. Bowman and Claude: (!) Claude: Rena! Rena: *walks up* You think it's okay to treat girls that way? That's terrible. Both of you! Claude: (;;;) No ... I don't ... It's not like that, Rena! Rena: *walks closer* Oh? How isn't it like that? Claude: (sweatdrop) Well ... like ... come on, you know. Rena: (angry cloud) *shakes her head* No. I don't. Claude: *looks down* (...) Bowman: *looks at Claude, still looking at his feet, and turns back to Rena* (;;;) Look, Rena. Women need to go through a lot to keep themselves beautiful, don't they? I know how tough it can be. But if there's nobody around to evaluate their beauty, then all that effort goes to waste. Don't you think? (sweatdrop) - So that's what we're doin' here, Rena. We're trying to give a fair, unbiased evaluation of the all labor that these girls suffered through. /The game shows "the all labor", of course what Bowman actually says is "all the labor"/ Rena: Huh. That's a nice back-story you've got there. You guys got anything else to say for yourselves? Bowman: (...) *looks down* I'm sorry. Claude: I'm sorry. Rena: *turns away* [If you talk to Claude] Rena: You've stopped grading girls already? How come? Claude: *looks down* I'm really, really sorry, Rena. [If you talk to Bowman] Rena: It must be such hard work trying to calculate scores for all these women. Bowman: (;;;) Aw, man. Can't you just let it go? [END OF PA FOR OPTION ##] __________ ### Rena: Both of you guys would rate a zero in my book. Bowman and Claude: (!) Claude: Oh ... hey! Rena! Rena: (angry cloud) What do you mean, 'hey'? What are you doing here, anyway? Bowman: Oh ... uh, you see, I was just using my extensive experience to help Claude develop his social judment skills, and, uh ... Rena: (...) And that's why you were assigning scores to random girls on the street? Bowman: *nodded* Well, more or less, yeah, but ... Rena: *storms up to Bowman* You're pathetic! Claude: He wasn't trying to be mean or anything, Rena. Rena: You're just as pathetic as he is, Claude! Claude: (sweatdrop) ... Yeah. Rena: (irritated squiggle) I've had enough. *walks off* Bowman: Boy, I wouldn't sure wouldn't want to be the unlucky guy who gets married to Rena! Listen, Claude' no matter what you do, don't let yourself get caught under her thumb, okay? /Note: the ' is not a typo, that's how it appeared in the game/ Rena: (!) *slowly turns* What did you say, Bowman? Bowman: (sweatdrop) Uh, nothing. [If you talk to Claude] Claude: I guess women always win their arguments, no matter which world you're in. [If you talk to Bowman] Bowman: I told you I'm sorry.
