It's the ocean!
Hot. I'm dyin'.
"Summer is supposed to be hot"
"You moron"
"Look at this blue sky..."
"White clouds..."
"You'll get used to it!"
"Oh yeah!"
It's too hot ta read them stupid signs!
Rats. Wonder if my suit is too revealing? How awful.
Kasumi's so popular.
Right out of the dressing room, the boys're already talking to her.
Sure, wouldn't guys prefer the mature type...
to girls with zero sex appeal?
I guess so.
Hey, who's got zero sex appeal?!
That was a generalization.
All these strangers keep talking to me.
Sis, they just wanna pick you up.
"Pick me up"? That's not a very ladylike expression, Akane.
Oh, right. I'm sorry, Kasumi.
By the way, do you know where Nabiki went?
Oh, yeah. I haven't seen her in a while.
Okay...! You there, stay behind the line.
No pushing.
- Over there. - Let's go see.
150 yen a slice! Step right up!
One, please!
Thank you, sir!

"That girl was pretty cute!"
Pop, that's a guy.
A...guy.
Gawd! How strange.
Okonomiyaki
Here you go.
Oo! Yummy!
Down the hatch!
By the way, why the heck didja hire Tsubasa?
Because I don't have to pay him as much.

"That's great! Lucrative?"
Aiyaa, Ranma!
Nihao, everybody.
Sh-Shampoo!
Ranma, Shampoo thrilled to seeing you here.
What're you doing here?

Shampoo let him work part-time at Cat Cafe.

Ranma ate okonomiyaki for 10-o'clock snack?
Yeah, that's about the time.
For lunch, Ranma eat Shampoo's food?
Hold it, you! Don't be so pushy!
Ranma get tired of so much okonomiyaki.
People can eat my okonomiyaki breakfast, lunch, dinner...
and even for snacks without getting tired of it.
C'mon, you two--!
Say somethin', Akane!
Which one do you choose?
That ain't what I meant.
Akane, are you well?
The Southern AIps already smell of Iate fall.
Hey, it's you, Ryoga!
You're a sorry sight, as always!
What's going on?

Hold on there!
If you two want a fight, I've got a great idea.

Natch. You can't lose.
Pathetic!
