Hmmm…
My goodness.
The plot thickens. ( = 事態はますます複雑になって[謎めいて]きた。)
Yes.

So, Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, Ken, is your time machine ready?
Oh, yeah.
They are in a period piece.

Look who's here, Sir Jeremy.
Is it Lady Kelsey?
Yes. She's walking this way.
I'm seeing things in a different light now, lady Grace.
Are you, Sir Jeremy?
Yes, m' lady. I realized that I was inviting drama into my life.
(m’lady = my lady の略)
Did you now, my Lord? (my Lord = 閣下)
Yes. It's time I broke it off with Lady Kelsey.
I've got my fingers crossed for you, sir.
I thank your Ladyship. I'll be back (in an hour).
I wish you the best of luck, your Lordship.

Wow.
(your Ladyship, your Lordship, m'lord)
I've really got my fingers crossed for everyone here.
Me too. Well, maybe except one.

Wow! Kind of a happy ending for everyone except Kelsey.
Except...
Oh.
Two relationships (have) broken off in one week.
Goodness.
One week.
That's kind of hard.

So, Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, I know how much you like singing.
I do.
I know how much you like hearing us sing.
That's right.
Well, they are going to sing again. They sing their lines to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Good luck.

                                                    • -

I'm a free man!
Good for you! How does it feel?
It's a huge weight off my shoulders!
How did Kelsey take it?
She took it well. She said she had no regrets.
That's great!
She broke off her engagement with Burt.
Poor guy!
And Burt was relieved to get the ring back.
A happy ending for everyone!
A happy ending for everyone!

We can make an opera out of this. Good for you, you guys.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well...
Yes.
They are...
Yes.
... spies.

Thanks for helping me in my time of need, 003
Anytime, 009.
Love isn't easy.
Ain't that the truth?
I was so preoccupied with my problems, I never asked about you and 007.
Oh, we called it quits.
Sorry to hear that. Breaking up is a tough ting to go through.
It was for the better. I'm happier now.
So we're doubly happy, 003?
Yes, indeed, 009.

Shhh ... Raijiei is starting

Rajiei funs.
There are so many.
Yes.
All over the world.
My goodness.
They're getting information from our show.
Yeah, I haven't asked 007 yet about how he feels about this program, but sooner or later, I will.
Yes. Well, we certainly learned that breaking up is a tough thing to go through.
Yes, we did.
You know, I know one more thing which is hard to go through.
What's that?
Trying to quit listening to Rajio Eikaiwa is a tough thing to go through.
Oh, impossible.
Let's hope nobody tries it.
Let's hope nobody would do that. Well, that's about it for today. We have one more day.
One more day!
Oh my goodness! Day.
How will it end?
No idea.

I hope I didn't overstay my welcome.
Not at all. I enjoy your company.
I was hoping you'd say that.
Were you?
Yes. How would you like to go to a park and listen to Rajio Eikaiwa?
Are you asking me on a date?
Yes.
I've wanted to go out with you since I was six!
Oh, I felt the same way!
What do you know!
Keep listening!
Keep practicing!
And keep on smiling!

They've got that down! ( = そこに落ち着いた)
This is what I call the great ending.
Yes.
The promotional ending.

So, um.. This is the end of the story.
It was a great ending, I think
Yes, or the beginning of a new story.
Oh, the beginning.
I think this relationship will last longer than the other one.
I hope so. Yeah, longer than three weeks.
Yes.
Right, and they've been friends for a long time.
Right. Perfect couple.
Yeah, what do you know?

Well, Katie and Jeff. Thank you. I enjoyed your company.
We enjoyed your company, too.
We always enjoy your company.
Yes. Everyone, I hope we didn't overstay our welcome.
Oh!
