Eureka Seven episode 23 Differentia

Renton: Oh, what is it?

Charles: I was just admiring what a hard worker you are, boy.

Renton: Well, I gotta carry my weight. Humans are truly amazing beings. I'm doing the same things, but the reactions I get are so different. Over there, they yelled at me and told me I was being slow. But over here, they ask me if I'm done, and are surprised at the speed. There I was told that I was inconsiderate, Here they laugh at me and say that I don't have to do so much. Honestly, this place is very comfortable. I mean, when I was with the Gekkostate, I was just a...

Ray: Homesick?

Renton: Huh. No, nothing like that!

Ray: Oh, do you miss your mother, then?

Renton: Ah? Oh, well...

Ray: I'm just kidding! I came here to tell you we'll be landing soon. Go on. Take a look. You really can't tell that much from appear.

Renton: It's a job, isn't it?

Ray: Yes. We want you to come. I'm pretty sure that we're going to be spending tonight in that city. Oh, and you can just toss all of the lingerie into the dryer. I guess there's a boy around now. I'll have to be more careful. Sorry.

Renton: This place is so comfortable!


Immigration: Purpose of your visit?

Charles: Work. I'm a courier, here to pick up a cargo.

Immigration: We have an anti-terrorist alert in effect right now. When you step out, make sure that you keep your passport with you at all times. It's almost curfew so you really don't have a lot of time left. You should hurry.

Charles: Then let's go.

Immigration: Hey, you.

Renton: Yes?

Immigration: Your parents went on ahead.

Renton: Somehow, it made me happy.

Renton: What's that?

Charles: This is it.

Renton: This place? Is it a war?

Charles: No. Terrorism.

Renton: Terrorism?

Ray: Do you want to wait here?

Renton: No, I'll go.

Charles: I'm Beams. I received a courier request.

Father: I've been waiting for you. Please, come in.

Charles: She's the one?

Father: May we ask you a question?

Charles: I give no guarantees on whether or not I can get your daughter to the Vodarac sanctuary before she passes away.

Father: It doesn't really matter. Rather than dying here, I'm sure that my daughter would prefer to become one with the Vodarac by heading the sanctuary for her own will to gain the eternal life. Besides, we can't even pray as long as we stay here.

Ray: It's an alarm warning people to stay inside.

Charles: What your wishes? It would be tough going but there is a way to transport her right now.

Father: No, I don't want my daughter to face any more hardships or danger. Take her in the early morning when the van lifts, when she won't catch anyone's eye.

Renton: So, it's not that her life can't be saved?

Charles: No, that's not what I said. I did said she won't be able to stay alive without life support.

Renton: So, if she had a life support system, she'd be able to stay alive?

Charles: Well, yeah.

Renton: If this hospital doesn't have such a system, I don't understand why we don't take her at a hospital that does instead of taking to the sanctuary?

Ray: It's not that they don't have a system here. They just can't use it.

Renton: Why?

Ray: Because they're the Vodarac.

Charles: According to the government, the terrorist act was caused by a group of radical Vodarac. The victims' families fiercely opposed continuation of treatments for someone of the same beliefs as the terrorists.

Renton: But, it's not like she was directly responsible for the terrorists' act. Just because she's a Vodarac, she's...

Charles: Look, I feel the same way! But, her parents decided they would accept the circumstances.

Renton: That the girl is going to die?

Charles: Perhaps for the Vodarac, it is slightly different from the death we see it.

Renton: If there is no such thing as eternal life, if you destroy a human being, then he will never come back! That's why... That's why everything... Everything is over when someone dies! I'm certain that she...

Charles: That's something the Vodarac can decide on their own. It's not for us to be meddling in.

Renton: Charles, you're much more cold-hearted than I thought.

Charles: Wow, I guess it's not that easy to raise an adolescent son?

Doctor A: That girl's primary physician? I think he's in the west wing.

Renton: Doctor!

Doctor B: Unfortunately, that's impossible.

Renton: Why, why is that?

Doctor B: Thanks to her parents' kindness the life support system has been transferred to that boy.

Renton: You don't have any more those?

Doctor B: No. Not here. If we had more, then maybe.

Mother: We no longer have to allow her any more hardships in her life.

Father: Yes. I'm going to go find the doctor and thank him for everything he's done.


Mischa: What? Is something wrong? Good. Your brain waves are normal. Starting tomorrow, I'll let you leave the room, but you have to stay aboard the ship. However, the hangar is off limits.

Eureka: Hey, Mischa...

Mischa: Mm?

Eureka: I'm curious. How is Renton?

Mischa: I'm pretty sure he's doing fine. I haven't seen him today, though. Why do you ask?

Eureka: What is "love"? Mischa?

Mischa: Huh? Oh, sorry. I didn't hear what you said. Could you tell me again, dear?


Hap: LOVE?!

Talho: Love? Like in romance?

Mischa: That's right.

Hap: Wow. This is a bigger shock than when she said she was going to be the mother of those kids.

Mischa: Well, she just asked what love was, so that doesn't necessarily mean that she's in love. We don't know what it means. But I've got to admit. I was surprised.

Holland: No way.

Talho: Yes way. Can't you see it actually happened?

Hap: Is the guy who I think it is?

Mischa: As I said, we can't be sure of anything.

Talho: But she did asked what love was right after she asked how Renton was doing, didn't she? The possibility's high. That Renton is the one, not Holland.

Holland: That's nonsense.

Mischa: In any case, once Eureka starts walking around the ship, she'll realize in an instant that Renton is no longer here. Perhaps it will be better to hurry up and tell her the truth right now.

Talho: Holland will.

Holland: Hey, why me?

Talho: Well, who else should do it?!


Father: Mr. Beams!

Charles: What?

Father: It's my daughter. My daughter is missing! Somebody took her. Can someone have taken her because she is a Vodarac?!

Charles: No, that's not it. I think it's our young guest.

Ray: It couldn't be.

Charles: Jeez! Damn it! Having an adolescent around is a real pain!


Holland: I'm not sure what to tell her?

Eureka: Oh, Holland.

Holland: Oh, well, Eureka. How are you doing?

Eureka: Um. I'm doing much better.

Holland: I see. Well, see you.

Eureka: Holland, wait. Renton. Is he in his room? Do you think he'd mind if I visited him right now?

Holland: He's... out shopping right now with Talho and Hilda! He will be gone for days.

Eureka: I see. Thank you, Holland.

Talho: Idiot.


Renton: If I head in the direction that the car went then... It's cold!


Linck: I'm so happy, I'm with Mama! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!

Eureka: Wow, Link. That's a nice song.

Maeter: Hey, Mama. I can sing a song like that, too, you know. I'm so happy I'm with Mama!

Linck: I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!

Maeter: I'm so happy I'm with Mama! So happy! So happy!

Hilda: Hey, Kids. What...

Talho: What are you doing?

Maeter: So happy!

Linck: Hey there, Hap.

Hap: Hey, Guys. What's that song you sing in there?

Linck: It's my song. I made it!

Maeter: No, I did!

Eureka: Hey, Hap. Has Hilda's come back yet?

Hap: No, not yet. You need something?

Eureka: No, it's okay. Let's go.

Maeter: I'm so happy I'm with Mama!

Hilda: What's up with that? What?! He hasn't told her yet?! I don't get it.

Talho: He just keeps chickening out of every time.

Hilda: But the reasons why Renton left aren't exactly the Holland's responsibility, are they?

Talho: He's too afraid of how Eureka would feel to tell her.

Hap: Well, you know, I think we should sit back and wait until Holland tells her on his own.


Renton: It's only a little ways farther. Hey, you work here, right? There's something I want to ask you!

Doctor: What are you doing? What's the meaning of all this? Why did you bring a Vodarac girl in death gear to this place?

Renton: What the hell is a death gear?

Doctor: Look kid, before it causes a problem...

Man: Why the hell did you come here?! You don't have to play dead, Vodarac!

Woman: Don't you sit there. Say something!

Renton: Stop it! Leave her alone. She's sick in...

Woman: Give my baby back to me! He was so innocent! Give him back to me!

Renton: What are you doing?! It's not like she was the one who was behind the terrorism! What are you accusing her of doing?!

Woman: What am I accusing her of, you ask?! Then let me ask you in return! What did two of you come here for? Did you even think about the feelings of those who lost their families members to these terrorists?!


Hilda: Oh, man. I don't understand how we got the point or I have to sneak around my own home.

Eureka: Welcome back, Hilda.

Hilda: I guess I'm back.


Charles: Have you found Renton?

Ray: Not yet. The girl's with him, so I really don't think he can go awfully far. How about you?

Charles: I didn't see any couples who looked like them inside vehicles or boats that leaving the tower.

Ray: If they made the way back to the hospital, I'm sure that the girl's parents would have contacted us already.

Man: Hey, Sam! Looks like Mitch and the gang cornered that kid from earlier. The Vodarac chick's still with him.

Charles: What's wrong?

Ray: I think I've found him.

Charles: What?

Renton: Damn you... Is it fun for you to do this?

Man: Is it fun?! This has nothing to do with whether or not any of it is fun!

Renton: Then, why will you do it?

Man: This is revenge. Revenge for the massacre of our families!

Ray: I'm sorry, but can you call it a day? I don't want any more people injured.

Charles: The State Army's caught on!


Officer A: So?

Officer B: Release this man's restraints immediately.

Charles: See, I wasn't lying to you. Well, I'll be going now.

Officer B: Hey, sit down. Sorry for the troubles, Sir.

Officer A: What's the story here?

Officer B: I asked headquarters for identification, just like he told me to, and I was connected to Captain Dominic for mission headquarters in Intelligence Precinct 7. I was told to act as though nothing had happened.


Charles: I won't condemn you for the actions that you took. In fact, I believe what you did was the right thing to do as a human being. But whether or not that girl really wished such a thing is a completely different matter. Moreover, there's no way to know, as we never spoke a single word to her.

Ray: Just a few minutes ago, she passed way.

Charles: What to do now? We will take her to the destination of your choice. Of course, I won't ask for any money.

Father: Sanctuary. I'm sure that it is what she would have wished for as well.

Mother: No, wait. For what you did, thank you.


Hilda: We’re gonna get in trouble if we don't do something. I mean how long are we gonna keep it a secret from Eureka?

Hap: There are limitations to how many lies we can pile up.

Matthieu: Oh, yeah, man. Even I'm starting to avoid Eureka.

Hilda: So, what the reason behind our leader not being able to tell her what's going on?

Stoner: Because of romance.

Matthieu: What romance?

Stoner: The story about how Eureka is in love with Renton.

Hilda: What? Is that for real?

Matthieu: I can't take it anymore! I'm lonely.

Moondoggie: Hey, Gidget. You told?

Gidget: I didn't tell all of them. Just you, Doggie.

Woz: I'm wondering if Renton knew anything about that.

Stoner: If he had known, he wouldn't have left.

Hilda: Let's go look for him. I'm sounding like a broken record, but the fact that he left a note asking us not to look for him

Matthieu: Means he wants us to look for him as well as worry about him.

Hap: Speaking from personal experience, Matthieu?

Matthieu: Damn straight! I contacted to some of my DJ friends, and there were a couple sightings of someone resembling Renton.

Moondoggie: How'd they know it was him?

Matthieu: The wheel, man, the wheel!

Hap: I see.

Gidget: I think you should go pick him up. You're like his older brother, right?

Moondoggie: I'm not his brother.

Stoner: The method by which we pick him up need some consideration.

Matthieu: That's right! The first words we throw at him can be a key point for dealing with an adolescent fugitives

Hap: Speaking from experience, again?

Holland: Shut your damn mouths, all of you! Renton didn't leave the Gekko in order to mask his stupid whims or his loneliness! He just wanted to leave!

Moondoggie: Ow! Why did you do that?

Hap: We screwed up. He was seriously thinking about Renton's well-being. I thought that I understood almost all of what goes on inside his head. I'm so pathetic.

Talho: I've heard that a lot lately.

Eureka: But why? Why did Renton decide to leave the Gekko? Is it because I did awful things to him that Renton left?

Holland: Eureka...

Eureka: Come on, Holland! Is it true? Am I the reason he left? Answer me!


Renton: I'm sure she's holding a grudge against me. I didn't think one bit about her feelings, and thought selfishly that I had to protect her. I didn't even pause to think whether or not it was the right thing to do for her. In the end, what I did didn't protect anyone. In fact, what I did was hurt their feelings. People who didn't need to get hurt. People who have been hurt enough. I only made their wounds even worse than in before. And I'm sure that my past was... I'm so sorry!

Ray: Where is he?

Charles: His room. You know, raising an adolescent son...

Ray: It's not too bad.

Charles: Yeah. Not bad at all.


Eureka: Oh, Renton... I want to see you.


Talho: The heart seeking a parent, and the heart seeking a child. Times for all of warm dreams comes for it along with the truths behind each of them. Next episode: "Paradise Lost."
