FRIENDS, SISTERS, DRINKING BUDDIES  
 
 [Scene: The roads leading to Ryoo Gakuen. Birds chirp as the girls walk past. ]
 
 Konata: Minami-san, have you gotten used to the school?
 
 Minami: Yes. And thanks to the school, I've made a good friend. 
 
 Konata: Good, good. If it's her, you should have fun sharing bento. 
 
 Minami: (uncertain) Yes. 
 
 Konata: I have so much fun I end up making lots of bento. 
 
 Minami: Hmm. Miyuki-san. 
 
 Miyuki: Yes?
 
 Minami: Today's the day they do the health check. 
 
 Miyuki: That's correct. Don't worry. They separate the boys from the girls. 
 
 Minami: No, that's not why I'm worried. 
 
 Miyuki: Hmm?
 
 Minami: Nah. Nevermind. 
 
 Miyuki: If you're troubled, ask me for help. (her boobs bounce around) 
 
 Minami: (sad) Thank you very much. 
 
 Miyuki: (puzzled) Minami-san, is there something stuck to my chest?
 
 [LATER]
 
 Yutaka: (sobs) The health check. 
 
 Patricia: What's wrong, Yutaka?
 
 Yutaka: They'll find out my weight and my three sizes. Just like I look, I'm really
 small. 
 
 Patricia: Oh, is that all it is? 
 
 Yutaka: You've got good proportions so you might not care. 
 
 Patricia: It's fine. Just choose the right partner and it'll be perfect. 
 There is a 25% chance of yuri. You've got the imouto
 special attribute so you'll be very popular. 
 
 Yutaka: Special attribute? 
 
 Patricia: With Minami. 
 
 Yutaka: What, with Minami? 
 
 Patricia: Her slenderness is a miracle. In the game I played yesterday, 
 a person proclaimed that a flat chest is a status symbol. 
 
 Yutaka: What kind of status? 
 
 Minami: No - don't just accept the words from that game.

 [The school bell rings.]
 
 Konata: Okay, finally we get to eat lunch. 
 
 Tsukasa: I'm really hungry. 
 
 Konata: Did you not have breakfast? Family issue?
 
 Kagami: Shut it! That doesn't matter! 
 
 Konata: But Kagami-san, even if you don't eat anything for one day, 
 your weight won't change. 
 
 Tsukasa: Is that how it works?
 
 Miyuki: Indeed. Plus if you skip meals and then binge, you'll end up 
 putting on more weight. 
 
 Kagami: It's all right! Look, I'll skip this one time. 
 
 Konata: But I made all this food. 
 
 Kagami: Damn it! This won't work with my plan! 
 
 Tsukasa: No, that's an exaggeration. 
 
 Konata: Yeesh. Why are you making this much of a fuss over your 
 weight? 
 
 Tsukasa: I guess we can't help but worry. 
 
 Konata: If that's all it takes to make you worry, you probably won't worry
 how long tonight's baseball broadcast is going to last. It might last as
 long as six hours. 
 
 Tsukasa: Kona-chan never changes. 
 
 Kagami: Yep, but you should start thinking about exams soon. 
 
 Konata: Graduation's not too far off. 
 
 Tsukasa: It's like we didn't feel it ourselves, or that time didn't seem to pass. 
 
 Konata: Our future, huh . . .  We'll deal with it when it comes. 
 
 Kagami: You are such a bad person. 
 
 Tsukasa: (nervously laughs) 
 
 Konata: It'll work out. Bye for now. 
 
 Kagami: Then make sure it works out - on your own - for your tests and homework. 
 
 Konata: Miyuki-san, please help me. 
 
 Miyuki: Oh, right. If I'll be helpful . . . 
 
 Tsukasa: Miyuki-chan, if you do that, you'll spoil her just like oneechan. 

 Kagami: (rushes over) Don't do that! 

 Konata: Yaaan. Kagami, spoil me! 

 Kagami: Yuck! No! 

 Konata: (laughs) 

 Tsukasa: (laughs) 

 Kagami: Dang it. We have the practical exam soon. 
 
 Tsukasa: Oh, that's right. 
 
 Konata: Not a problem. I'm good at cramming. 
 
 Miyuki: The practical covers a huge amount of material. 
 
 Konata: Then what do we do first?

 (Light chatter and traffic noises can be heard outside.)
 
 Kuroi: Hey, Narumi-san. 
 
 Yui: What is it?
 
 Kuroi: We haven't had many chances to appear. 
 
 Yui: That is true. But let's vent while drinking. It's just us here. 
 
 Kuroi: It's a story about those children. We're adults. We're not 
 going to get a lot of parts. The upshot is that as adults we can drink
 like this. 

 Yui: We've got it easy compared to the way they treat male characters.  
 
 Kuroi: That might be true. Still, I don't think it's good because the lack of 
 men makes us women go out drinking together. 
 
 Yui: Well, that's - 
 
 Kuroi: If one of us had a boyfriend, this wouldn't happen. The both of us
 are rather lonely, aren't we? (laughs, chugs her drink)
 
 Yui: Umm . . . 
 
 Kuroi: Hmm?
 
 Yui: (laughs) No, it's nothing. Oh, your glass is empty (refills Kuroi's drink). 
 
 Kuroi: Thanks. And here's payback. (refills Yui's drink). 
 
 Yui: (nervous laughter) Thank you very much! (nervous laughter) 
 (A weird chime occurs) (thought to herself) I can't say it! I have a commuter
 marriage, but I really am married! I can't say it!
