Kodocha Episode 1 Eng Dub Script

Alarm Clock: Aaaheyy!

(music from alarm clock sounds at 8:30)

Sana briefly looks at the alarm and goes back to sleep. The alarm clock drances more frantically after seeing her reaction.

Mini Sana in Sana's Head: Yahooooo! Wake up! Time for school!

Echo: Yahooo!

Sana: Uwah.

Sana gasps as she bolts straight upwards from bed and turns to look at her dying alarm clock.

Sana: Uwahwah. It's already 8:30!!!

Narrative Sana: My name is Sana Kurata. Age 11.

(Insert Title: I'm an Elementary School Student with an Agent)

Narrative Sana: I'm an elementary school student with an agent.

Maro tries to crack open a walnut on the rock by the base of the cherry it was currently inhabiting (aka. Misako's hat).

Sana: Mom! Mom! Why didn't you wake me up? Now, I'm running late for school. You could've woken me up just five minutes earlier.

Misako: A sleeping child grows but a child who sleeps in, grows in depth.

Sana: Even if I left now, I'd still be late.

Misako: Good morning Sana, dear.

Misako opens her eyes and sees Sana is gone.

Misako: And I’m talking to no one.

(Background Music)

Sana quickly washes her face, brushes her long hair and twirls as she puts her shirt on.

Sana: And I’m officially primped.

Sana runs down the hall meeting Shimura.

Sana: Morning Shimura!! Oh I can’t believe so late Why is this happening to me today?

Misako passes by in her toy car. Sana runs into Misayo’s toy hammer and she freezes. The scene cuts to Sana being driven back to the kitchen in Misako’s toy car, passing by Shimura who continues to vacuum the floor.

Sana: Mom, I’m already running late! Please don’t make me stay!

Misako: If you do sleep in, that’s your decision Sana. But your mother is responsible, she will make you stay here until you finish every last bit of it.

Sana looks bewildered at her breakfast consisting of two croissants and a salad. The birds chirp in the bg. Misako’s toy hand pops out like an accordion to give Sana her milk.

Sana: Alright, fine. I’ll eat then I’ll go.

Sana quickly stuffs the meal into her cheeks and digs in.

Misako: (holding her toy hammer menacingly) You’re not going anywhere. Slow down and let the food digest.

With her cheeks stuffed, Sana shows Misako her super clean plate.

Misako: Now, you’re excused.

Sana leaves the table. Rei appears.

Rei: Good morning Sana. It’s a beautiful day out.

Sana: (while shaking her head) Oh, I’m so glad to see you here, Rei. I’m so desperately late for school. I didn’t wake up until 8:30 and Mama said she wouldn’t even help me get up like it’s my responsibility. I’m just a kid. I’m supposed to sleep in.

Rei: Alright, I’ll give you a ride.

Sana jumps and hugs Rei.

Sana: Oh, Rei, you’re so nice. You’re the best ever. I love you (x13).

Rei and Sana head out to the door. Misako appears in her toy car, holding a purple fan to her face.

Misako: Drive safely Rei. I know you’re a demon behind the wheel.

Misako drives off the screen, only to rewind back to the same spot to listen to Sana.

Narrative Sana: And if you didn’t know, this is Mama. She’s a very successful novelist. She even won the Aoki prize once.

Misako: It’s true.

Rei fastens his seatbelt, clutches the steering wheel and the gear stick. A glint sounds off his sunglasses and he finally presses the gas pedal. The engine starts.

Babbit’s text appears in Japanese (I have no idea what it says).

Sana: You’re going too slow. It’d be faster if I just, walked (x16).

A man passes the car while Sana keeps complaining.

Rei: Now, Sana, it’s my job to make sure you get to school in a safe and reliable manner and I take that job very seriously.

An elementary school kid passes by.

Sana: Oh Rei.

Babbit: Kindergarteners are passing your car.

Sana jumps and hugs Rei, who has trouble controlling the steering wheel.

Sana: Oh, I love you Rei. You care about me more than anyone else…

Rei and Sana talk over each other (???)

Rei delivers Sana to the school with a giant bandage on his car’s top.

Sana: Thanks for getting me here in one piece, Rei.

Sana leaves the car. Rei clutches his head, the shoulder of his suit has fallen off and he’s out of breathe.

Rei: Yeah. Well you know it’s my job to do things like this. Oh, wait. Sana.

Rei winds down his car window to Sana, who’s about to pass by.

Rei: Remember you have a live broadcast audition of Child’s Toy after school. Once your last class is over, I’ll meet you here to drive-

Sana kisses Rei on the cheek. Babbit censors the kiss.

Babbit: (blows his whistle) Okay, maybe you guys need more explanation. When Sana was little, her mother helped her into a theatrical company called Gekidan Kowamori or the Ensemble Circle. Ever since then, Sana’s become quite a figure in entertainment. And today, her show, Child’s Toy is showing a live broadcast.

Babbit looks back to see the two of them still in that frozen kiss state.

Babbit: Oh, come on! How much longer is she gonna have her lips pressed against her cheek.

(Scene cuts)

Sana runs down the school and pulls open the class door.

Narrative Sana: Everything’s been fine up until now. It’s been a month or so since I’ve changed up classes and became a sixth grader. Oh well, this particular class become a bit of a problem.

Sana opens the door to see the boys throwing desks and other items at each other, mid-air.

Sana: And this is what I mean.

The camera zooms into the classroom.

Mitsuya-sensei: Please stop. All of you put your desks back on the ground. It’s arithmetic time. Actually we’re 30 minutes late. C’mon kids. Just stop throwing things.

Narrative Sana: The boys are always picking on Ms. Mitsuya. And it looks like it’s getting worse by the day.

Mitsuya-sensei cries while the girls, including Aya and Hisae, try to comfort her.

Sana: She cries like a baby, but she still deserves respect.

Hisae: Oh, Sana.

Aya: You’re here!

The girls surround Sana.

Hisae: Hey!

Aya: It’s happening again and that the boys are worse.

Girl Classmate A: It’s the only class the boys are like this. We’re getting nowhere with our lessons.

Sana looks at Akito at the back of the class.

Narrative Sana: Akito Hayama. That’s him. The one. The scoundrel. He started picking on the teachers and the boys follow everything he does like it’s the law. That kid is pure evil. Nothing else.

Sana walks up towards Akito.

Sana: Coming through. Move it. Just like I thought.

Sana looks at the table with her signature on it, which was being used by Akito as a foot stool. She watches Akito blankly sitting with his earphones on. On Akito’s left is Gomi and Akito’s right is Tsuyoshi.

Sana: Good morning Akito. What smells to me like your foot stepped on something your mouth left behind so I guess that explains the ugly look on your face.

Akito shuts his eyes.

Sana: Ignore me, will ya?

Sana slams her hand on her desk.

Sana: Get your lousy foot off my desk, you cause enough trouble in this class and I want it to stop. Am I getting through to you?

Sana tries to pull the desk from Akito’s feet.

Sana: I want you to move your desk until all your idiot friends stop torturing us like this everyday because it’s you-wa-ugh-uh

Sana flips back with her table when Akito lets go. Sana lands upright with her desk. The class is finally quiet.

Sana: Miss Mitsuya, I have a couple of questions about the last lessons since I had to leave early for work yesterday.

Mitsuya-sensei: (holding her handkerchief to her face) Oh-Okay. What are they, Sana?

Mitsuya wipes her tears with the cloth.

Sana: Well, in this equation it says three parentheses minus triangle double circle ex close parentheses equals y, right? Well, what I don’t understand is-

Akito makes eye contact with Gomi.

Gomi: Wahahah. Hey teach! My stomach hurts.

Gomi and Classmate Boy A hold their stomachs and groan.

Sana: Ignore them. What I’m asking is why the three is on the outside, couldn’t it go on the inside as well?

Mitsuya stares back at the boys again.

Sana: You know they’re just trying to fake you out again. Can’t you ignore them? They’re stupid.

Mitsuya-sensei: Oh, Sana, I’m sorry.

Sana: Well, back to the problem.

Sana holds the math book in from of Mitsuya-sensei’s face so she can’t see Gomi and Classmate Boy A groaning while Akito and Tsuyoshi blankly stare at the female duo.

Sana: I think you know what I’m talking about.

Mitsuya: Oh, I got it. What you’re asking has a simple answer.

Mitsuya-sensei walks to the front of the class and right before she can write on the blackboard…

Gomi and 3 other classmates aim balloons at her filled with chalk.

Gomi and co: 1,2,3,4, here we go!

The balloons explode when they hit the board around sensei. The girls choke from the dust. Sana tries to fan it away with her math book.

Sana: Dumb boys!

Sana looks back at sensei covered in chalk. Sensei’s whole top half is covered in chalk, even her hair has turned yellow.

Sana: Miss Mitsuya, don’t cry. Don’t show them you care.

Mitsuya-sense: I can’t help it. I-

Sana: They’re just push you harder.

Mitsuya-sensei sneezes and cries. Gomi and co laugh.

Gomi and co: Laughter is the best medicine for stomachaches.

Tanaka-sensei opens the class door.

Tanaka-sensei: You boys cut it out! We can hear you guys from the other end of the hall!

Gomi and co: You and Miss Mitsuya sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love. Second comes marriage. Third comes the baby in the baby carriage.

Tanaka-sensei: C’mon hun, you gotta try to keep it together for me, okay?

Mitsuya sensei: But, there’s so-

Tanaka-sensei: How long do you little punks think you can get away from this kind of behaviour?

Male sensei defends female sensei.

Sana: That’s it Mr. Tanaka. You tell em what’s what.

Akito glares at Mr. Tanaka.

Tanaka-sensei: You’re supposed to be in the 6th grade but here you are acting like you’re 6 year olds at recess-

Both senseis grow quiet when Akito pulls a photograph from his inner jacket.

Sana: What’s wrong Mr. Tanaka? What happened to all your enthusiasm? I don’t get it. This is really odd.

Both senseis slowly grow ashamed.

Sana: Uh-I’m kinda at a lost here. What’s that sly confident smile all about?

Sana questions Akito from afar and Akito puts his pic back in his jacket.

Inner Sana: Wait a minute. What if he’s got something on the teachers?

Sana: I can’t take this anymore!!

Miss Mitsuya runs out of the class, crying.

Mr. Tanaka runs after Ms. Mitsuya.

Tanaka-sensei: Ms. Mitsuya, Wait up!

Sana: Wah-Na-uh! You’re the one who needs to wait up.

Sana’s frozen in place with her sticking out.

Sana: What’s going on? This is crazy.

Akito eats bread.

Sana: Wait a second. I have an idea.

(Cut scene)

In the studio.

Narrative Sana: Child’s Toy Live Broadcast!!

(Babbit Text in Japanese appears)

Sana: No (x5) The day before yesterday and the day before-I’m gonna be the dumbest girl in the whole planet and it’s all because of this kid. And I’m gonna make him pay for messing with the likes of me. Listen to that. I’m gonna make sure the world gets a good look at his ugly…
