We're here!
NO TRESPASSING
Doesn't this mean we're not supposed to go inside?
Even a grade-schooler wouldn't choose to shoot a movie here,
unless he or she was really dumb.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and jump over.
I'd forgotten that she was really dumb.
Hurry up, Mikuru-chan.
The fence is a bit high to climb.
Wouldn't you agree?
It must be old.
Am I supposed to play a kappa or something?
There never used to be a fence here.
I spent a lot of time here!
It helps that they're all so open-minded.
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Leave Earth at once
This is the scene...
The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi IV
...where Mikuru finally finds herself in a dire situation,
because her blue eye beam has been sealed by Yuki.
That sounds great!
You there, hold this.
Mikuru-chan, are you ready?
Yes.
Too soft!
Yes!
I feel your pain.
Here we go!
And...
Action!
Th-This won't be enough to discourage me!
E-Evil alien, Yuki-san!
Quietly leave Earth at once!
Cut!
He is valuable to us.
Consequently,
we will start by invading Earth.
Cut!
I-I won't let you have your way!
Even if it costs me my life!
Cut!
You're starting to get the feel of it! That's the spirit!
And Mikuru-chan...
Come over here.
Yes?
Well, I'd really like to get out of here...
...before the locals start whispering about us.
This is what a camera looks like nowadays?
So you've got a bunch of embarrassing clips of Mikuru on here?
It's not a laughing matter.
What if the mental anguish leads Asahina-san to refuse to go to school?
Sorry for the wait!
We're just getting to the good stuff.
Here, look at this!
Hey, now!
Is this some kind of nightmare?
Is she trying for a repeat of yesterday's fiasco!?
Come on, Mikuru-chan.
Use that Miracle Mikuru Eye-R to fire something-
anything fantastic-and attack!
Na-Nagato-san!
Hey, Yuki!
You're a mage!
This isn't the time to be wrestling...
Well, this also works.
Since it'll probably sell.
Kyon!
Make sure you're filming!
Let's not waste Yuki's idea!
This isn't by design.
St-Still, this is pretty tantalizing...
No, I certainly don't intend to record this shot...
Center on the target and press record...
No, I can't!
I just can't!
Leave Earth at once!
We lost another contact...
I was careless.
The laser was configured to disperse and become harmless.
This time, it was a hyper-oscillatory particle cutter.
Something like a monofilament, I presume.
Um...
What did you,
um, inject into me this time?
A force field was established on the surface...
...with the ability to phase-shift dimensional oscillatory cycles...
...and transform them into gravitational waves.
I see.
So the problem's been dealt with for now.
That went over my head.
Everyone appears to have accepted that the fence snapped from deterioration...
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
What do we do, though?
I feel like...
...there's going to be a disaster if we keep filming.
However,
we cannot simply call off the movie.
What do you think will happen...
...if we force Suzumiya-san to stop filming this movie?
No clue.
She'll almost certainly go berserk.
Or at the very least, the Celestials in closed space will.
Most likely, Suzumiya-san...
...is having too much fun in the current situation.
Since it's almost like she's playing God.
Suzumiya-san is using this movie...
...as a medium to reconstruct a world.
She's as selfish as ever.
Of course,
Suzumiya-san is not aware of that.
She believes that she's creating a fictional world.
However,
I would presume that...
...her passion is so great that she's unconsciously affecting the real world.
Only fiction...
So we get a bad ending either way?
Nonetheless,
if we must choose between the two,
I would prefer to continue.
Even if Asahina-san turns into a Superwoman?
The alterations so far have been modest in scale when compared with Celestials.
When compared with the prospect of starting the world over from scratch,
wouldn't you agree that it would be simpler to deal with supernormal phenomena on a case-by-case basis?
I'd have to say that neither scenario sounds very good.
What if we whack Haruhi from behind...
...and knock her out until the cultural festival's over?
What a frightful notion.
But if you take full responsibility,
I won't stop you.
I can't shoulder the entire world.
Don't worry about me.
I'll get through this somehow...
What a display of devotion! I'm touched!
Normal people turned into evil alien Yuki's puppets
This is your role!
You see, Mikuru fights for justice,
so she can't harm normal people.
Mikuru
Yuki
Normal People
Yuki is taking advantage of that weakness...
...by using her magic to control ordinary humans.
And Mikuru gets all beat up because she can't fight back.
Mikuru gets all beat up.
We'll start by...
...throwing Mikuru-chan into the lake!
C'mon now, this lake?
It might feel warm, but it's already fall.
And the water's anything but clean.
Su-Suzumiya-san?
Could we at least use a warm-water pool...
This will certainly be a tough scene to shoot...
But you know, Mikuru-chan...
This sacrifice must be made...
...for the sake of the realism we seek!
And this is also a barrier you have to overcome!
A chance for you to take the next big step as an actress!
Got it?
Now get ready!
Hey!
U-U-
U-Um...
I'll do it!
Mikuru-chan, that's great!
That's what I would expect from a hand-picked brigade member!
Asahina-san...
Ready, and...
Namaste!
What is the matter?
Grab my hand.
Seriously...
We have enough junk to open up a vending stall,
yet we don't have a single towel?
Not bad for the scene of their first meeting.
You can feel how Itsuki and Mikuru are awkward around each other.
Really?
Looked like the same old Koizumi to me.
We're moving onto the next event, then.
We'll be shooting the scene where...
...Itsuki hides Mikuru in his home after saving her.
Er, wait!
That doesn't flow at all!
What happened to Nagato and Taniguchi and the others?
The audience isn't going to buy the plot...
...if you keep skipping around!
You sure are annoying.
People will understand what's happening if they're paying attention!
Freak...
You just wanted to throw Asahina-san into the lake, huh?
You know...
My house is close by.
Mikuru looks like she's about to catch a cold, so can I get her changed real quick?
That's perfect!
Can we borrow your room, Tsuru-chan?
I want to film Itsuki and Mikuru getting friendly there!
Sure.
Go right on ahead.
Uh, what about us?
You guys can go home.
Lucky you. You're no longer needed.
You're worth as much as expended BBs, as far as Haruhi's concerned.
But that's actually something to be happy about.
Okay, this is my house!
Huge!
What kind of crimes do you have to commit to live in a place like this?
Okay, this is my room!
Wait here until Mikuru's done with her bath.
This makes my room look like a bedroom for a cat.
This is a nice room.
The placement is perfect!
That's right.
Tsuru-chan.
I just thought of something.
Sorry to keep everybody waiting!
Thanks.
I'm sorry about taking so long...
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
This is a brutal test of my self-control!
Asahina-san, that getup is criminal!
Here, drink up!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
The sight of her drinking is another strike to my heart!
Let's get started, then.
And so we began shooting.
We started with Koizumi carrying Asahina-san,
who was pretending to be unconscious, into the room...
...and laying her down on a futon...
...that was already spread out for some reason.
Mikuru-chan, it's almost time for you to wake up!
Are you awake?
Yes...
Um...
Where am I...
My room.
Thank you very much...
This is awfully sexy... Is she acting?
You two!
Get your faces closer together!
Mikuru-chan, close your eyes!
Koizumi-kun, put your arm around her shoulder!
Now, shove her down and kiss her!
Hold it right there!
You're abridging too much.
And why is there even a scene like this? What's going on here!?
It's a love scene! A love scene.
You have to include one when you're doing a multiple time-slot program.
Are you a moron!?
Is this supposed to be a two-hour drama that airs at 9 PM!?
And why are you going along with this, Koizumi?
If something like this gets screened,
you're going to find hundreds of curses...
...in your shoe locker on the following day!
Including some from me!
Mikuru's acting so funny!
I wanted to say that this wasn't funny,
but she was definitely acting strange.
Her eyes were out of focus,
and her cheeks were flushed.
And she's letting Koizumi have his way.
Not amusing at all!
Koizumi-kun...
My head feels heavy...
Seriously...
Was she drugged or something...
Sorry!
I mixed some amazake into her juice.
Amazake (甘酒) is a traditional sweet, low-alcoholic Japanese drink made from fermented rice.
I was told that it might help her act better.
Don't slip that stuff in without any warning!
What's the harm? Mikuru-chan looks really sexy right now.
Just kiss her already!
Of course, I mean on the lips!
Cut it out, Koizumi!
Director...
This is too much for me to handle...
Besides...
Asahina-san seems to have reached her limit...
I'm perfectly fine...
I guess I have no choice, then...
Geez, how can you be smashed after a little amazake...
You're the one who made her drink it!
Now shape up.
That's the wrong reaction.
You're supposed to sit up straight when I tap you on the head.
Let's try it again.
Practice.
Cut it out.
How is this practice!?
Where is this going to be used in the movie!?
What is it? Don't stop me.
I'm not obligated to tell you where I'm going to use it.
Yeah, you probably didn't bother thinking this through.
Stop making stuff up as you go!
What do you know!?
You have no idea what this movie's about!
You stop making stuff up!
You're the one making stuff up...
...as you smack Asahina-san around!
You don't have the right to do that!
Shut up!
What would you know!?
I'm merely following an important movie convention!
What convention!?
This isn't funny!
Asahina-san isn't your toy!
I've decided that she is!
Mikuru-chan is my toy!
What is it!?
What do you have a problem with!?
You should just do as I say!
I'm the brigade chief and director and...
Anyway!
I won't follow any dissent!
Let me go, Koizumi!
Doesn't matter if you're dealing with animals or humans.
Anyone who refuses to listen needs a good beating before they'll learn!
Or else,
she'll spend the rest of her life as the asshole that everyone avoids!
Please stop!
You mustn't fight...
Or else...
Right, that's ...
I'm sorry, Kyon-kun.
I got a little carried away there.
Don't worry about Mikuru.
I'll take her home or have her stay the night.
I expected you to be a more composed person.
So did I.
Closed space has not appeared.
It would appear that Suzumiya-san's subconscious was restraining herself.
Isn't it nice to have less work to do?
Incidentally,
I'd like you to come with me right now.
If I refuse?
It won't take very long.
Do you remember what Suzumiya-san said yesterday?
Like I'm going to remember every random thing she says.
You'll remember once you've seen this.
It seems that they were already like this in the morning.
Did someone paint them?
There is no doubt that...
...this is the natural color of those feathers.
They must have had the living daylights scared out of them yesterday.
Even if that were the case,
would it lead to this result?
I know that!
I'd prefer doves that are completely white,
but I'm willing to take any color at this point.
Obviously she wasn't.
This is how I see it.
Suzumiya-san is a special human being...
...who has been granted divine powers.
And in reality,
her presence here among us...
...would support that belief.
Where did that come from?
And wait...
Didn't you say something about Haruhi being God?
Oh?
Did I really?
Stop joking around.
I'm only kidding.
Suzumiya-san builds upon this world,
but at the same time, she destroys it.
Perhaps our current reality...
...was a failed effort?
And perhaps Suzumiya-san is the existence...
...who has been given the mission of correcting this failed world.
Whatever you say.
Which would mean...
...that we,
the people who have erased all traces of her efforts,
may be the ones in the wrong.
So what?
The problem would be for those of us on the wrong side.
When Suzumiya-san causes the world to be reconstructed in its correct form,
will we be a part of the new world?
Or will we be removed as bugs?
Who knows.
However...
I am...
...rather fond of the world we live in.
The product of...
...all the humans that have lived...
...down through the ages.
I wouldn't want to destroy that world.
That is why we're attempting to deal with Suzumiya-san.
Is this world really so valuable?
Oh?
I thought you returned from closed space...
...because you were of a similar opinion...
Was I wrong?
Beats me. I can't remember.
I spoke out of character.
I must have sounded as though I were convinced we were protecting this world.
Excuse my outburst.
It seems that Suzumiya-san...
...is too busy feeling depressed to feel irritated.
Why's that?
You should know the answer,
but allow me to explain.
Suzumiya-san believed that you were the one person...
...who would be on her side, no matter what happened.
You might complain and protest,
but you would still forgive her.
Only an ancient martyred saint...
...would be capable of forgiving her.
Could you tell Suzumiya-san to cheer up?
If her mood continues to deteriorate,
we'll end up with someone much worse than closed space.
I can't imagine how a negative Suzumiya-san would view this world...
So I'm supposed to comfort her?
Just kiss and make up.
How does that even make sense?
We weren't even that close to begin with.
Well,
I expected you to have cooled off by now...
Was I expecting too much?
I lost my cool yesterday,
because the goodness of my heart couldn't bear watching her atrocious abuse of Asahina-san,
or maybe that wasn't why.
It might have been calcium deficiency.
Since after drinking a whole liter of milk last night,
I woke up to find my rage had mysteriously evaporated.
Though, it could just be a placebo effect.
A movie? More like a complete waste of time.
Now, now.
He actually wanted to hang out with Suzumiya-san and everyone else some more.
He even canceled his plans for the day.
Don't mention that, stupid!
In any case,
I'm washing my hands of this mess.
Your little movie?
It'll end up being trash. That's obvious.
You're the last person who should be saying that.
We don't need you to tell us how the movie will turn out.
However,
it's so irritating to hear you say it.
At least Haruhi is trying to do something for the cultural festival!
She's trying to participate!
And what about you?
Even if she's doing something stupid,
that still makes her much better...
...than someone who does nothing but piss and moan.
Seriously...
He's really getting on my nerves!
Now,
why am I so miffed?
Have I learned to feel passionate about movie-making?
What's wrong, Kyon?
Suzumiya-san also seems to be in a bad mood.
Did something happen?
Probably a lover's spat.
Yeah, I get it.
I would do what Haruhi told me to do,
and then bitch about it.
In other words, I was so upset because...
...I was no different from Taniguchi...
...and his words that got me all upset.
Damn it!
That barfhead!
You've made me realize something I didn't want to!
Damn it!
Now I feel like doing something I'm going to regret later!
Damn it! Damn it!
Hey.
Haruhi.
What is it?
We have to make this movie a success.
Of course!
I'm the director after all.
Success is guaranteed.
I don't need you to tell me that.
So simple-minded.
Well,
it's a lot better than being weirded out...
...by a cheerless Haruhi.
Let's go!
Couldn't you have worded that in a different way?
Sorry.
Instead of restoring the situation,
you seem to have escalated it.
Sorry.
We won't be able to conceal everything at this rate.
How convenient!
I was just thinking about how I'd like a shot with cherry blossoms!
This abnormal weather has perfect timing!
Okay, now strike a pose!
That's it!
Let's catch a cat!
A cat?
A witch needs a familiar,
and cats are the best fit.
Are there any black cats around?
Wasn't Nagato initially cast as an evil alien?
Just find a cat!
That's the image I have right now.
Hey, Yuki.
Would you know where to find some stray cats?
