"Take Off Into Confusion" Script
Dorothy shoots pistol from Quatre's hand]Quatre: [holding hand] Now isn't the time to
fight! It's too hazardous to stay on this ship any longer!
Dorothy: Quatre
Raberba Winner.... exactly as I thought.... Out of all the Gundam pilots... you're the one
who's most misunderstood.
Episode 48 - Sally
into Confusion
[Fighting]
Wufei: [destroying
Virgos] Get out of my way!
[Treize comes closer]
Wufei: He's here...
[Treize aims @
Alt-long. Wufei dodges, fires back, but misses.]
Treize: What are you
shooting at? I'm over here.
Wufei: Shut up!
Treize: Once there
was a time when fights were finished with the touch of a button. The embodiment of that
blasphemy is the Mobile Dolls and their directors, the Libra. If you take humanity out of
the equation, victory and defeat will become something deplorable. God will not reach out
his hand to either side.
Wufei: How dare you
use your pretty speeches on me! The battles have spread because of you and many have died!
I alone should be a satisfactory opponent!
Treize: You're right.
[Tallgeese II drops
gun, pulls out beam sabre]
Wufei: Are you ready?
Treize: Of course,
but I won't make any allowances this time!
Wufei: Forget that!
Treize: Hn.
[Trowa, in Heavyarms]
Trowa: Until now,
I've resisted death innumerable times. Let me do so once more.
[In an airlock]
Duo: What now?
J: First off, conduct
us to Peacemillion.
Duo: Peacemillion?
G:The way things are
going are just as Zechs has planned. We have to reach the Peacemillion and alter it's
course.
Duo: As Zechs
planned-? He can't-
J: That's right. He's
dead set on targetting the earth. The remuneration of our sins will be accomplished if we
can stop this.
Duo: Gotcha... Follow
me.
[Libra's Bridge]
Quinze: Are the wave
course prognosis ready?
WF-1: Yes. We will
hit the earth on our present course. There is a 69% probability that we'll hit one of the
northern hemisphere continents. On our present course, we will hit the earth. The energy
that will be discharged is proximated at around 6,000 megatons.
Quinze: There you
are, Commander Milliard.
Zechs: That's more
than enough. Quinze. If Peacemillion and Libra are dropped on that blue planet, the
seasons will terminate and a long winter will descend.
Quinze: But this
calculation is based on the fact that the Peacemillion's engines are completely
inoperative.
Zechs: The
Peacemillion was my ship, once. She'll understand what it is that I want.
Quinze: Yes...
Noin: Can we expect
the Gundams to understand as well?
Zechs: Idiot. Of
course, they'll stand in my way.
Noin: You're waiting
for them?
Zechs: They follow a
course different than justice or making an appearance. They are war professionals... and
I, Zechs Merquis.
Noin: Yes....
[Peacemillion's
Hangar]
[Relena blocks hatch
so Heero can't close it]
Relena: Wait, Heero!
Why do you have to go? The Libra will sink. There isn't any more reason to fight! My
brother, Milliard Peacecraft, and the White Fangs have lost!
Heero: Zechs believes
otherwise and it seems that Zechs and Treize have no intentions of calling a halt to this
war. I have to go.
Relena: Do you mean
that the war will end if you go out?
Heero: I will
eradicate Zechs, then Treize. The war will end, and if you survive, peace will come. This
is the single thing I can do for you.
Relena: Heero....
Heero: I promised to
protect you... to protect you and the earth sphere. The only way I can do that is to
fight.
Relena: That's-
Heero: Let me go....
Relena: No! No! You
plan on dying, don't you?
[Heero lowers
Relena's faceplate]
Heero: Trust me.
[Pushes Relena away
Zero]
Relena: [drifting
away] Heero?!
[Zero starts, gets
ready to launch. Relena grabs railing.]
Relena: Heero... I
trust you.
Heero: Farewell,
Relena.
Relena: Huh?!
[Zero launches]
Relena: Heero?!
[Libra - MD Control
Room]
[Dorothy puts on
helmet and MD System starts]
Quatre: This room....
Dorothy: ...is the
Mobile Doll control room.
Quatre: No... this
place feels like the Zero System.
Dorothy: That's
correct. The Zero system and the Mobile Doll controls are directly connected. You should
know then that the Mobile Dolls are under the control of my fighting will now.
[Throws a fencing
foil at Quatre]
Quatre: What are you
saying?
Dorothy: Duel with
me, Quatre Winner. In a straight Zero-System fight, I lost; but I wonder about this time.
You decided to fight of your own free will didn't you?
Quatre: I'd rather
not if it's at all possible but if I don't you won't surrender and this war won't end.
Dorothy: That's
correct! Let's see which is superior, unenhanced human reflexes or Zero System optimized.
Quatre: And if I
won't agree?
[Dodges Dorothy's
attack, grabs fencing foil]
Quatre: Why do you
love war? Why are you going so far as to do this?
Dorothy: Gentle
Quatre... why do you fight?
Quatre: My family! I
must fight to keep them from being sad!
Dorothy: My father
also fought and died to keep me from feeling sad so I will die fighting beautifully as
well!
Quatre: Then you
ought to hate war!
Dorothy: No!
Catastrophe and murder can't be blamed on war! We must overpower the enemy that lays
within our hearts!
Quatre: I believe
peace is more powerful than war! I believe in those who want peace!
Dorothy: I ask you;
you say that you fight for the people... What have they done for you in return?
Quatre: I'm not in
this for the gain.
Dorothy: That's why
you're so stupid!
[Quatre shoves
Dorothy into a wall]
Quatre: Please stop,
Dorothy.
Dorothy: [laughing]
The colonies betrayed the Gundams. The colonists killed your father! And, understanding
nothing, they declared their independence! Everything that you've fought for has been for
nothing! The consequence of worrying for others, the result of too much consideration for
others, that's what has lead to this horrible state of affairs!
Quatre: ......
[Shuttle leaving the
Peacemillion]
Howard: Is everyone
aboard?
PM-1: We're fine.
Howard: All right....
heading for MO-II
Relena: Heero...
please reply! Heero....
Sally: You'll
intervene with his fight if you continue.
Relena: But.... Heero
plans on dying!
[Wing Gundam]
Relena: [speaker]
Heero, please reply.
[Heero switches
channel off]
Heero: Don't worry
about me, Relena. Life comes cheaply; especially mine.
[Libra]
[Heavyarms hurries
forward. Virgos appear before him.]
Trowa: Wait for me,
Quatre.
[DS-Hell pops up
behind them and cuts short the fighting.]
Duo: Yo, Trowa. Sorry
I was so violent! I can't stay and help you.
Trowa: No... that was
more than enough.
[Heavyarms goes on.]
Duo: Is that so? Well
then... don't die.
Trowa: You, too,
Duo....
[Heavyarms reaches a
dead end. Trowa continues on foot.]
[DS-Hell &
scientists watching Peacemillion].
Duo: You psyched up
yet?
J: Only one of us has
to succeed in reaching Peacemillion! If one of us is thrown off don't worry about it.
Duo: Yeah, I won't,
'cause I don't have that kind of time.
[Raises faceplate,
prepares to go.]
Duo: Here goes!
[DS-Hell cuts a path
through surrounding mobile suits.]
Duo: No idiot would
want to smashthrough this! I shouldn't have found them... Hey, hey!!! Death and
Pestilence, coming through!
[Explosions ahead of
him]
Duo: What the...?
[The Maguanacs
arrive.]
Rashid: Leave this to
us!
Duo: [jetting by]
Sorry! I'll just have to let you. We never brought everyone together. All of earth seems
to have joined. Is it because of that girl? Or.....
Rashid: All right,
you men! No one dies until we're reunited with Master Quatre!
[Various agreements.]
[Libra - MD Control
room]
Dorothy: You can't or
won't? But I won't hold back! That compassion! That sweetness! That consideration! They're
the cause of your ruination!
[Dorothy disarms
Quatre]
Quatre: That may be
true but this is the only way I can fight. Even in losing the battle, I'm satisfied that
the colonies weren't drawn into it!
Dorothy: Nothing will
change!
Quatre: What else
should I have done then?
[Dorothy raises foil]
Dorothy: You should
have become the leader of the colonies and fought on equal terms, like Milliard-sama!
Quatre: Dorothy!
That's not-
[Dorothy stabs
Quatre!]
Dorothy: Show
humanity a war so lamentable that they would have no wish to see its like ever again!
Quatre: Is that...
what this battle is about?
Dorothy: That's
right! Taking away all the weapons won't stop wars. You have to change the hearts of the
people, otherwise they'll be destroyed like my fater.
Quatre: You're...
more kind... than me....
Dorothy: It doesn't
make me any happier just because you say that! This compassion is just a deterrant to
living! People should only have to worry about staying alive.
Quatre: Dorothy....
You're like me.... hating fighting... but never able to exonerate yourself for your
gentleness.... but... you can't deny your gentle nature.... Trowa has taught me that....
you have to accept everything.... humanity needs that quality... or else... there is no
reason to exist.... isn't that so? The remaining humans... would be no better than
animals......
[Quatre falls,
unconscious]
[Treize and Wufei]
Treize: What's the
matter? Why don't you use your dragon?
Wufei: I just want to
fight you fair and square!
Treize: That isn't
like you at all! Are you holding back?
Wufei: And you? Why
didn't you kill me back then?
Treize: I couldn't
kill one of the few who could understand me.
WWufei: [angry] Don't
mock me! I hate you!
Treize: Then don't
hold back!
Wufei: You just look
down on other people! You're only here to fight for your ego! How many people do you think
have died for your sake?
Treize: Would you
like me to tell you?
[Wufei looks
surprised]
Treize: As of
yesterday, 99,822 people.
Wufei: [shocked]
What?!
Treize: Lady.... what
is the current death toll?
Une: Confirmed
presently, 82 on the White Fang side and 105 on our side.
Treize:
[contemplative, perhaps sad] Is that so. You must tell me their names later.
Une: Yes. Understood.
Wufei: [shaken] You-!
Treize: The people
who have been forfeited are all imprinted in my mind. Novende, Septem.. Bente, Dorian, Walker. Otto, Bunto... I can't forget all of them.
Wufei: [still
stunned] People like you.....
Treize: I can do
nothing by exalting the dead. But I want you to know this much: they did not die in vain.
And now!!
[Treize flies towards
Wufei, beam sword raised. Wufei reacts, bringing staff forward and impaling Tallgeese.]
Treize: That was
glorious, Wufei....
Wufei: Treize! You-
Treize: Everyone must
compensate for their sins. Even my death is not devoid of meaning. Wufei... my eternal
friend.... I'm honoured to have fought you all...
Wufei: This...
this... I won't accept this!
Treize: Milliard...
I'm going on ahead of you....
[Tallgeese explodes]
Wufei: [crying] Shit!
He quit while he was still ahead!
[MO-II]
[Lady Une wilts,
disheartened]
Oz-1: Captain Une...
Captain... your orders?
Une: Inform White
Fang of the Earth's Nations surrender.
Oz-1: Captain?!
Une: Don't make me
repeat those disgraceful words again. Hurry and compose the message! [quietly] You were
glorious, Treize-sama.
[Libra]
[Dorothy removes her
helmet]
Dorothy: This is
fine... this....
Quinze: There you
are, Dorothy.
Dorothy: Huh?!
Quinze: We just
received word. The earth has surrendered.
Dorothy: [stunned]
Surrendered?!
Quinze: Alos a
message that Treize has died in combat at the hands of a cunning opponent.
Dorothy: T-that's
inconceivable!
Quinze: Victory is
ours but we won't cancel the drop. Those are Commander Milliard's orders.
Quinze:
[comm-channel] Initializing final thrust. Evacuate under your own judgment. I pray for
your safety.
[Libra - MD Room]
Trowa: Looks as
though your desires were overcome.
Dorothy: I-
Trowa: That's so
sad... a woman who can't weep.
[Shuttle]
Sally: The earth has
accepted their defeat?!
Relena: What?!
Howard: But that
won't be enough. White Fang still plans to drop the Peacemillion and the Libra on the
earth.
Relena: Let's go
back. We should be able to stop it.
Howard: Impossible
Relena: We can't be
sure unless we at least try!
Sally: There's only
one person who can manage the impossible....
Relena: Heero?
Sally: Yes but there
isn't any way to inform him of this.
Relena: Let's go to
him.
Howard: Can't do
that. We've used all the power in the propulsion system.
[Relena turns to go]
Sally: Relena!
Relena: I'll go by
myself!
Someone: Wait!
Relena: L-let got of
me! Heero! Heeeero!!!!
[Epyon stands on top
of the Libra]
Zechs: He's finally
here.
[Something approaches
