Ranma 12 s01e89 Episode Script

Episode 89

Are you really Ranma? Ranma! You're--! Don't look at me, Akane! Wretched Ranma is tougher than we thought! But we won't get the Dragon's Whisker unless we defeat him.
Then force is the only way! No! We can no longer rely on force! Are we without options then?! Nonsense! We still have one plan! Have you a good idea? Right here! Could that be--? Sleeping-powder-filled red-bean bun! Now all we do is wait.
-- We failed with pork buns.
-- But bean buns are the perfect plan! A bean bun! Down the hatch! Don't interfere with our plans! Who're you?! -- Forgive us! -- Please! -- We're sorry! We're sorry! -- Forgive us! We did it only for the Dragon's Whisker! Dragon's Whisker? And what's that? Actually--! What?! That's the secret of the Dragon's Whisker?! Ranma, what's happened to you? Damn! I'm not cured yet! It happened when Pop and I were training in China.
-- I'm starvin'! -- Give that back! Give it back! That rice gruel isn't--! It's all mine! Gimme that! Down the hatch! He's eating it! -- Hey! -- More.
Thank god, it's a girl! What's the idea, creep?! That gruel you ate was my restaurant's secret item.
It was made with stock from this Dragon's Whisker.
Dragon's Whisker? What's that? It's a medicine used in Chinese herbal cooking.
It has no effect on women, but if a man eats it his ambition will come true.
A man's ambition? Wars have been fought over this Dragon's Whisker causing the deaths of countless men.
Thank goodness you're a woman.
If you had been a man-- Huh?! You're really a man?! Cut the jokes.
Is this--? Is this what you call a man's ambition?! Seal it with this whisker until its effects wear off.
I begged the man to let me come home with the Dragon's Whisker.
Is that what happened? If the Dragon's Whisker has such power, no wonder men fight over it.
What? You want to know the secret of the Dragon's Whisker? Correct.
You're a 3,000-year-old Chinese ghoul, so I figured you'd know.
Who're you calling a 3,000-year-old Chinese ghoul? The Dragon's Whisker causes endless strife.
Countless wars have been fought over that whisker.
Even if I knew the secret, I wouldn't tell it to you.
Please reconsider.
Especially not to someone like you.
She doesn't want me to know the secret.
How would I be affected by a whisker that causes wars? Blast you, Ranma! I'll get that Dragon's Whisker, yet! Even Master Happosai wants it? Could it be--? The pork, bean, curry, and pizza buns and Master Happosai.
What do they all have in common? They're all BALD!! If my guess is right, the Dragon's Whisker can--! I've got to find it! It's powerful! Too powerful! The Dragon's Whisker is a powerful hair restorer! Anyhow--! Take this and that--! That'll hold it.
Wait a minute-- Aren't those pork buns going to attack again? I ain't scared of those twerps.
Look out! -- Grandfather Happosai! -- What's the big idea?! Fork over that Dragon's Whisker.
Or else-- I see you found out the secret.
Fine! Take it if you can! Oh, I will! Ranma!! Damn--! Like candy from a baby.
Happo Fire Burst! Pop! Are you all right, Ranma? I'm here now.
Don't worry.
Genma! What're you doing?! Quiet, you old goblin! Take this! Blast you, Genma.
How dare you do this to your teacher?! I won't let anyone hurt Ranma! Not even my teacher! Ranma Are you all right? Hey! I hope you ain't after the Dragon's Whisker, too! Ranma! Is that what you think of your own father?! Pop! You idiot, Ranma!! Pop! Pop? Never mind.
It's all right.
I would never try to steal the Dragon's Whisker at the sacrifice of my own son.
How could I, your father DO such a despicable thing?! So what's with your hands? You've tricked me all this time! That's MY line! Impudent wretch! Fight me fairly for the Whisker! So you've finally shown your true colors? Come on! It's MINE! That'll teach you! Pop--! What's wrong, Pop? You hurt? It's not for losing that I weep.
So you're hurt somewhere, right?! My tears are flowing because you beat your own father to the ground only for a hair tonic.
Hah, sucker! The Dragon's Whisker is mine! Curse you, Pop! Ranma! You still need more training! Come back, you--! What's the idea?! What was THAT for?! Oh, I get it.
The Dragon's Whisker doesn't work on women.
You've grown an alarming amount of hair.
Unless you retrieve the Whisker, within a week you'll run out of hair, Son-in-law.
It's mine, at last! China's 3,000-year-old hair restorer, the Dragon's Whisker! What a sad, tragic life I led! Girls rejected me.
Children laughed at me.
The times I wept in front of the mirror! But now, it will grow back! Black, lustrous hair! Do I rub? Whack it? Wear it? Oh, no!! I don't know how to use it!! What good will a head of hair do you now?! Give that Whisker back! Wait, Ranma.
Don't you know how I feel? I refuse to listen.
You FOOL! Don't you know how I feel? I grieve!! I wanted to protect you from the power of the Dragon's Whisker and offer my own body as an experiment! Will you sell it for ten yen? Hey! Quit arguin'! Just give it BACK! -- No! -- Pop!! Mr.
Saotome! Do you want Ranma to be a girl forever?! What do you mean? Though the Dragon's Whisker has no effect on women--! It's a powerful tonic for bald men! However, for men with hair, it's too potent a tonic.
Since he's taken it, the hair must be sealed at once or it will grow until it depletes itself! What?! Let's see! How I envy you! Were you listenin' to what she SAID?! Wha--? It's mine! Not for long! Oh, sweet! That was close.
Give it BACK! Damn--! See the wretchedness of father fighting son.
Vile Dragon's Whisker! But those two are always fighting.
Now, tell me how to use the Dragon's Whisker.
Never.
Not even if I should die! Would you like to? Did I say I wouldn't talk? The water's just right.
Now, to make a stock.
-- Wretch!! -- You're hogging it all?! -- Give it here!! -- Give it back.
It's mine!! Ranma, you dirty--! -- Now--! -- Nice going, son! Don't sneak up behind me!! The Dragon Whisker's mine! We're one in spirit, Master! Let's cook up some gruel! You're not getting any part of my treasure! I'll get you! Take this!!! -- Ranma! -- He's--! You dirty--! Let's just tie you up! -- Farewell, Genma! -- Master, come back! Not so fast! Oh, sweet! What--? Die, ol' freak!! Take that! It fell out?! What happened? It's stopped growing! Ranma, you've run out of hair! That's right! He used it up in that fight! NOOO!! Well! It's all right! Just Forget it.
You're makin' it worse.
Forgive me, Ranma.
You're my son, after all.
You would've lost it sooner or later.
I took pride in not lookin' like YOU!! Ranma!! Wait a minute! I can just eat some of that gruel! Old freak, gimme that Whisker! Fool! After all my work, do you think I'd let you have it? I lost it.
It's not coming out.
If his hair had run out, he would be completely bald.
This means--! The effects of the gruel have worn off! Really?! Dragon's Whisker! Dragon's Whisker! Where'd it go?! I'm trying to reassure him, but he hasn't heard a word I said! Does he have to sleep so long? CAT CAFÉ Now Serving: Dragon Whisker Soup Imagine finding it here! We should have come here in the first place! This is great! I'll eat plenty! Greedy bums! But it all worked out.
You can tie your pigtail with anything now.
Oh.
Yesterday was the expiration date for the Dragon's Whisker.
I'll have to buy some more.
Here, Dragon's Whisker gruel.
Thank you! All right.
Good-bye.
Shampoo, the "Healthy Greens" owner just called.
The Dragon's Whisker has lost its potency.
Oh, too bad.
But everybody happy eating it.
Good enough.
True.
They should find out soon, though.
It's growing.
I can feel it already.
-- So can I.
-- Mine'll grow first.
A full head of hair.
-- I can hardly wait! -- I'll look 120 years younger! How's this? Wait a minute!
