Eureka Seven episode 17 Sky Rock Gate


Holland: How is the film repairs going?

Ken-Goh: As I expected, with the trapar springs all dried out, it's going slow.

Holland: How much longer do you think we're gonna have to stay hold up in this place? I'm sick of eating sand in food. And on top of that, it's boring.

Ken-Goh: At the current rate, it'll take more than a year. We should go find a film dealer.

Holland: But aren't the security guys in the government watching over them pretty closely?

Ken-Goh: I know somebody.

Holland: Can we count on him to keep quiet? Even so, Hap just isn't gonna like it. Damn.


Hap: So? Exactly how much film do we need?

Ken-Goh: At least 276 hexas.

Hap: You're kidding. And how much do you think that's gonna cost?!

Ken-Goh: But seeing it....

Hap: Ah, it's alright, I know, I know. Let's face it. We're short on money. And since the Gekko can't fly, we can't get any jobs. And it's not likely we have any fewer mouths to feed. Look, we're losing money right now. We can't afford it.

Holland: So we can't wait for all the repairs to finish at the current pace then, can we?

Hap: You're right, but...

Holland: Think of it is an investment.

Hap: It's just so much.

Talho: Just give up, Hap.

Hap: No cosmetics for a while!

Talho: What? You can't do that!

Hap: The Gekko is now entering type 5 battle mode! In other words, we're entering Penniless Mode!


Matthieu: You want me to get that?

Hap: Don't touch it!

Matthieu: I get it. That must be the cash.

Hap: Whatever, just stay away!

Renton: Eureka!

Holland: What's wrong?

Eureka: My head really hurts... Let me rest today.

Holland: Alright. Eureka is not feeling up to it today. You're gonna have to be the pilot!

Renton: Okay.

Hap: Just be careful with it, alright?

Renton: Hey, I'm always careful!

Hap: I sure hope so.


Renton: Ah? What the heck are you doing?!

Hap: Hey, I'm curious. What's wrong with Eureka?

Renton: I really don't know.

Hap: Did something happen between you guys? I always thought that you two made a really cute couple. Tell me what happened.

Renton: I told you I don't know.

Hap: Huh? Can't you speak up a little louder? I can't hear with the wind.

Renton: I said I don't know what's going on, all right?! Hap, Geez... I wouldn't be having so many problems if I did.

Hap: "A woman's mind and the autumn wind change often

Renton: What's the heck is in Autumn?

Hap: Don't really know. Just something people have always said. Hey! That was dangerous! Careful!

Renton: You remember when we approached that Coralian in that day?

Hap: Huh?

Renton: I think that it started right before that. Somehow, we're drifting apart... me and Eureka.

Hap: So, things were going well until then?

Renton: Yeah, well. You know, we just got along really well.

Hap: Ha, that's great. Sweat adolescence! So what did you do? You pushed her or something? Hey! Idiot! Calm down, will ya? Ow. Hey, you're able to kiss her at least?

Renton: Kiss her?!

Hap: Huh. Come on, you didn't get that far?

Matthieu: A guy has to push his way forward, don't you know?

Renton: Oh, my. Hap? Do you realize that you turned the communicator on?

Hap: Oh, so I did. I'm so sorry about that.

Renton: Don't give me that! You meant doing.

Matthieu: Renton! A guy's gotta push, push, push his way forward!

Stoner: Not very convincing coming from someone who Hilda has all wrapped around your finger.

Matthieu: Hey I'm just a very open minded person.

Stoner: Let me get this straight. Saying you're sorry every day is being open minded?

Matthieu: Shut up.

Hap: Well, in all they say, "A woman's mind and the autumn wind change often."

Renton: Yeah, yeah. You already said that.

Hap: Guys shouldn't be worried about the fine details.


Renton: Sometimes I think that... I've been together with you for more than a little while now, but I just don't understand anything about you, or about how you might feel. I want to understand a lot more about you than I do now. That's because...

Maeter: Mama, are you all right?

Eureka: Mm... I'm sorry I'm sleeping so much. What is it?

Linck: Hilda is calling for you. She wants some help with the laundry.

Eureka: Mm. Right. I got it.


Hilda: All right then. Now, all we have to is to fold them! Let me show you how to do it. You just fold socks in three like this, then you take the top, and flip it over. See?

Maeter: I got it! Let's see, like this?

Linck: That's wrong. Here's. Gimme!

Maeter: Get away. I want to do it by myself!

Linck: Gimme!

Maeter: No! Let it go!

Hilda: Hey, what's wrong with you?

Eureka: What do you mean?

Hilda: I mean, you're not wanting to go on the Nirvash today.

Eureka: I just don't feel like it.

Hilda: Why is that?

Eureka: Nirvash has been in a bad mood. Renton has to be on board now. I'm not good enough...

Hilda: You know, Eureka, when I think of the Nirvash as a female friend, everything that's happening seems to fall into place.

Eureka: Huh?

Hilda: It's kinda like when your best friend starts going out with a new boyfriend. Sometimes it can put a really big strain on you and your friend's relationship. You start to feel like that boyfriend just stole her away from you.

Renton: I don't get it.

Hilda: It's a form of jealousy.

Eureka: Jealousy?

Hilda: Oh, come on now. You're trying to tell me that you've never felt jealousy before. Geez! Sometimes, I just don't understand you at all! Now listen. You better really think about it. I mean, where that jealousy is taking you. Whether it's all about the Nirvash or your feelings really about Renton.

Maeter: I did it!

Hilda: Wow, good girl!

Linck: Look I did it, too.


Talho: Hey.

Holland: What?

Talho: How long are we gonna be like this?

Holland: How long? You don't like being along with me?

Talho: You know what I'm talking about.

Holland: Look. It's not that I'm running away from it.

Talho: We'll see about that.

Holland: We can't help it, you know! With the Gekko in the condition that it's in...

Talho: Okay then. What are you gonna do once it's fixed? How far are you gonna run once it's all fixed up? What was that?! What the hell is that noise?

Holland: Sounds like a digger. Someone who still believes that there's a mine worth digging down here. Someone believes that there's a dream buried away in this place.

Talho: It's a rather sad sound.


Ken-Goh: Edmond, are you in here? Hey, Edmond. Where are you?

Stoner: Maybe your friend went out of business.

Ken-Goh: Hey Edmond! It's me, Ken-Goh!

Neal: What is it? Who are you?

Ken-Goh: It's you.

Neal: Edmond is dead and gone.

Ken-Goh: Dead?!

Neal: Yeah... Died last year.

Renton: You're drinking while the sun is still up.

Neal: So what? I paid for it with my own money! You got a problem with that, huh?

Ken-Goh: Alright. That's enough for that. Neal.

Neal: Wait a minute. I don't know you. How do you know my name? I know. You're from the collection agencies. What ???

Ken-Goh: Here. Well?

Neal: What the hell do you think you're doing, old man?!

Ken-Goh: I need a lot of reflection film right away.

Neal: What?

Ken-Goh: I said, I'm here to buy a lot of reflection film from you!

Neal: Good. Of all the things you could want had to be there. I stopped dealing that stuff. The way too much of hassle, and they really don't sell with the damn.

Ken-Goh: Then I guess we'll just place a big order.

Neal: I'm saying I won't do any jobs that pay like damn you! What, what should you do that for?

Ken-Goh: How pathetic! I can't believe that something Edmond's son would say. He was a decent man who dedicated his time, energy, and passion to the making of reflection film!

Neal: And what did that bring him?! He was always dirt poor and then he died because of the Desperation Disease!

Renton: The Desperation Disease...

Neal: Heh, I want none of that.

Ken-Goh: I have the money!

Hap: But we haven't bargained. Hey, wait a minute.

Ken-Goh: Take it.

Neal: But the craftsmen all moved away.

Ken-Goh: Fine. Then we'll help you.

Matthieu: We're just here to pick them up, aren't we?

Ken-Goh: What's that?

Neal: But, the machines. They haven't been used in really long time.

Ken-Goh: You scared, hmm?

Neal: Just what do you mean by that?! Even those I spend my days full of booze, my skills are still good.

Ken-Goh: Then how about you show us all those good skills in action? Do we have a sales of deal or not?

Neal: I guess we do. But I can't do anything without drinking nowadays.

Renton: Whatever made me think if we would be alright working such a drunk.


Neal: I see it! The valley called Aura de Punta!

Renton: It… it looks like there's nothing here.

Hap: There are trace pits of trapars all around us.

Matthieu: Don't we after go with the sky fish gathering large numbers?

Neal: They don't just gather here. You have to allure them.

Stoner: It's a little lonely out here without music.

Neal: Right.

Stoner: Hey, that's great! Oh, man. Don't tell me you only have stuff like this.

Neal: What do you mean, "stuff like this"?!

Stoner: When I listen to this kind of music, I get no agitated.

Hap: Then you have to drink!

Stoner: Will drinking make me feel better?

Hap: At least, you won't know whether your nausea from music or the alcohol you've been checking down like it was water.

Stoner: No. Dammit! I'm drinking!

MoonDoggie: Yeah! All right! Drink more! Drink more! Drink more! Drink more!

Hap: Hey, what the hell did you give Moondoggie to drink?

Matthieu: Oolong tea.

Hap: Oolong tea?

Renton: All the adults started to drink alcohol and get loud and rowdy. Neal told us that the sky fish always come around to those people who're having fun or the near the Compac Drives. But is that really so?

Neal: Hey! You're not drinking enough! At this rate, all the sky fish are gonna go somewhere around!

MoonDoggie: ??? 36! I'll make my quick stunt!

Hap: Yeah, all right! It's about time.

MoonDoggie: Gyoza!

Neal: Oh, no! We've got drink more! Have a great time!

Ken-Goh: Yeah!

Renton: Go ahead and do whatever you want.


Gidget: What's wrong?

Eureka: Nothing...

Gidget: It's more than nothing. I mean you don't look like you've been very well lately. They're all really worried about you.

Eureka: I don't know. They all seem to be avoiding me.

Gidget: Well, of course, they are. Nobody likes to hang out with people who don't seem to be having fun, you know? You gotta trying a smile, okay?

Eureka: Sure.


Neal: Oh, drink up, drink up!

Renton: In other words, we all just got to think happy thoughts, right?

Neal: Hey, come on, drink some. You too, go on! It's here! It's a big one!

Matthieu: I can't stand up...

Hap: Yeah, and me neither.

Neal: What do you mean? This is where the hard work really starts!

Renton: I'll do it!

Neal: All right! Now try to hold 'em down with the ref-board!

Renton: Now you guys stay put.

Neal: Don't just stand there! Behind you!

Maeter: Mama? What's the matter?

Eureka: Renton?! Renton!!

Renton: Right. Now. It's my turn! One, for starters!

Renton: That is how we managed to collect all the sky fish we needed.

Matthieu: So, We just have to deliver them to the workshop now?

Neal: Yeah. But once they are there, it's a job for me and me alone.

Matthieu: It gonna be hard by yourself. Why don't you let us help out?

Neal: Amateurs should never try to meddle into a professional's job.

Matthieu: Yeah, but...

Neal: If you really want to help, try cleaning up after the party.

Matthieu: Right. Got it.

Renton: It's a pro's job... He reminded me of my grandpa just a bit. Neal is what Neal is. An artisan. And until very late that night light stayed on in Neal's workshop.


Dominic: All except the seven that had been sent to the royal army are now here.

Dewey: I'm surprised that you all made it back. I appreciate the hidden support that you had given me.

Officer: Lieutenant Colonel Dewey, welcome back. No, wait. I heard you're a full colonel.

Dewey: Hmph, it's nothing more than a name. Pathetic rules of an archaic past.

Dominic: In the last budget council meeting, the reassembly of the squadron has been officially granted. Right now, it consists of just the colonel and I. But shortly the service transfer order should arrive at your door.

Officer: Yes, finally happening?

Dewey: That's right. Pathetic. It's also pathetic.

Dominic: The Sage Council still doesn't realize the truth behind this?

Dewey: Whenever you show something like this those with half baked knowledge will make a commotion. The society that we live in only go so far. Those that believe they are justice, no matter how much time they have to think, should all meet their death. I will show the people the true ills of this society, and then armed with the truth I will bring humankind back to its rightful status as rulers of this world. That is something the hero, Adroc Thurston, could not accomplish. Yes. It will be The Second Summer of Love!


MoonDoggie: Okay! I've secured the last of the cargo!

Renton: It's amazing!

Neal: You can tell?

Ken-Goh: I think that Edmond must be proud of you.

Neal: Ha ha. If Dad was here, he would be kicking my ass around right about now. But at least I was able to do one last good job. I'm closing shop. Oh, don't get me wrong anything. I would love to continue to do all of this if I could, but there’s just no orders.

Ken-Goh: Wait. Isn't the military a biggest customer?

Neal: They quit sending to me orders almost a year ago.

Holland: Now we can fix up the Gekko. Let's get them inside right away.

Talho: Roger that.

Eureka: So pretty. This is pretty.

Renton: Yeah, but then when you think about how you make them from the sky fish, seems just a little bit sad.

Eureka: Yes, but, but they're still pretty.

Renton: At that moment, I felt that distance between me and Eureka was slightly more like what used to be.

Renton: To be continued!

Talho: The boy sees images of his father with any old man he meets up the excavation site. What did the visions that someone betrayed by his dream left behind show the boy? Next episode: "Ill Communication"
