"Movie Lovers Can't be Bad Guys"
Story Description: You and Anby stopped a potential theft at the video store... Anby really is a kind-hearted person.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: You're the store manager, right? You're just in time. Please help me work this out!
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: That girl in green, the one wearing headphones and talking to people is totally stalking me!
I don't think she's stalking you.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): She isn't stalking you. If Anby was actually following you, you'd have no idea.
- Anby: I'm not stalking anyone. I just realized we both have the same taste in movies.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: "I'm not just talking about my taste, I'm talking about my life! I can't seem to get that through to you."
- Anby: "...Do you ever dream, about who you're gonna be?"
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: "Aren't... aren't I going to be me?"
- Anby: "Life isn't like in the movies. Life is much harder."
Are you two speaking in code?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Are you two speaking in code?Are you two speaking in code? /
Are... are you two speaking in code?Are... are you two speaking in code?) - Anby: We're doing a bit, going back and forth doing movie quotes.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Are you two speaking in code?Are you two speaking in code? /
Where have I heard that before...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Where have I heard that before...
- Anby: Sounds like you've seen these movies too.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: Alright, I have to admit — we do have similar tastes! I didn't expect you to have such a good eye.
- Anby: Then take out the videotape you put in your bag and give it back.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: ...! When did you...
- Anby: From the moment you stole the tape I wanted to watch.
No wonder she was browsing for so long.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): No wonder she was browsing for so long, she was trying to steal a tape.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: I wasn't stealing! That's slander! I was gonna return the tape once I was done watching it!
- Anby: Taking something without telling people is stealing. How many movies have you watched? You should know that.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: I—I could never steal! It's just I don't get paid for my part-time job until next month, and in the heat of the moment I just—
- Anby: Stealing is stealing. Put the videotape back on the shelf.
- The girl hesitates for a moment, then finally puts the videotape back on the shelf with a look of desperation.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: Whatever... You can just turn me over to Public Security.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: What's the worst that could happen? I'll just get expelled from school, mom and dad will kick me out, and I'll end up living on the streets...
Don't be such a drama queen...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Don't be such a drama queen...Don't be such a drama queen... /
Oh, don't be such a drama queen...Oh, don't be such a drama queen...) - Anby turns her head and looks over as if she wants to say something.
- Anby: If I could... Can I ask something of you?
- Anby: If possible, could you not turn her in to Public Security?
I was thinking the same.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That's exactly what I was thinking. There's no need to call them for something like this.That's exactly what I was thinking. There's no need to call them for something like this. /
Hm, I thought so too! A little thing like this doesn't need Public Security.Hm, I thought so too! A little thing like this doesn't need Public Security.) - Suspicious Looking School Girl: You all... Why?
- Anby: Nobody who watches movies this good could be a bad person. That's what I think.
- Anby: But you should also still pay for what you've done.
- Anby: I'll rent the movie you tried to steal. Take it back and watch it. Just so happens it's a story about redemption.
- Anby: After you're done, write a 1,000-word letter to us about your mistake.
What a surprising "price"...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Not the price I expected...
- Anby: Really? It's normal to write a report after making a mistake.
You remind me of a teacher right now, Anby... No, a drill instructor!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You remind me of a teacher right now, Anby... No, a drill instructor!
- Anby: Hmm... Perhaps because I've done something similar once in the past.
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: I... I understand. 1,000 words, and not a word less!
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: Also here's my student ID card. I'll leave it with you as collateral... And I'll pay back the cost of the rental once I get my wages!
- Suspicious Looking School Girl: Anyway, thanks for being lenient with me!
- The girl bows deeply before leaving the video store, looking back every few steps she takes.
- Anby: "Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?"
"It's always this hard."- (ProtagonistProtagonist): "It's always this hard." But, "Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things."
- Anby: Really? Looks like it's not just our taste in movies that's similar, but our outlook on life, too.
- Anby: To be honest, the discouraged look on that girl's face just now reminded me of when I experienced something similar.
- Anby: It was back during that dark time when I first met Nicole and Billy.
- Anby: And now, there's you.
- Anby: So I want to do what I can to help her out... Just like everyone helped me out.
And you did.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (And you did.And you did. /
And you did it.And you did it.) - Anby: Thank you. I think... I was able to make the choice because you were here with me.
- Anby: I'm lucky to have you.
