Romeo's Blue Skies
TAKARA FANSUBS
"To the Sky..."
Overlooking the rows of houses and stores
from the highest vantage,
Such things as tears and sadness
will quickly vanish
The birds, wind, and sunshine...
...all are your friends
I'll carry this dream farther than far
...no matter the distance...
I long to fly freely
through the blue sky in my heart...
The far distant blue sky
It flows into tomorrow
During the storm, the boat carrying the children to Milan sank into the lake.
But by some miracle, Romeo, Alfredo and the God of Death reached the shore alive.
From there, the melancholy trio resumed their journey to Milan.
Episode 7:
An Angel's Abode
How about it? This crop is really tasty.
Looks like things are finally getting lively.
Yes... we're finally close to Milan.
Look at it, Romeo!
This is really something!
It feels like we're in dreamland!
So that's the famous great cathedral?
They look like icicles!
Jeez, this boss is such a slave-driver!
Hey, everyone! The God of Death has come back!
He's come back from hell!
God, you startled me!
We were just praying for your departed soul.
Look... the newspaper says that everyone drowned!
Romeo and Alfredo were troubled.
They realized that the only person they knew in the entire city,
...was, ironically, the God of Death...
...yet it seemed to those two as if he had forgotten them.
What're you looking at, soon-to-be-sold?
Listen up, oaf!
Oaf?
The bosses who're gonna buy you are just now on their way over here.
Bosses?
Your chimney-sweeping bosses, oaf!
But... only two for sale?
Not much to choose from.
There, see. Here come the bosses.
Hey Luini, I heard you really put your foot in it this time!
Well, well, very shrewd of you!
And I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get my hands on any kids this year.
So, where are they?
And the rest?
That's all there is.
THAT'S IT?
So there's only two?
What the Hell! Neither of 'em even looks like they'd be productive!
What're you doing?
Stop it!
Why you...
I've fallen for ya.
Aw, why not. I'll buy this one. How much?
Eighty lira.
Eighty lira?!
What's he thinking?
I've never heard of such a price!
Not for one kid!
Cut the jokes!
Luini, you bastard!
I heard you're sellin' off kids?
We were waitin' for ya, Luini!
How much per kid?
Eighty-two lira.
Why you... you just said eighty lira!
When the demand goes up, the price goes up.
If you're planning on buying, now is the time.
God of Death, you amaze me.
Gotta choose, before there's more buyers here...
All right, I'm buying this one.
Romeo!
That ain't fair, you guys!
Yeah, what about us?
First come, first serve.
So... eighty and two lira, was it?
Eighty-five lira.
EIGHTY-FIVE lira!
If you don't like it you don't have to pay.
Can't be helped.
Okay, I'll buy this one.
Citron, put that away.
This kid is MINE.
You're not gettin' your hands on him.
All right!
Stop that, Citron!
Pull something again and you're headed for jail, you know!
Hey kid... come over here.
There, 86 lira, and you better not have a problem with that!
Now, this one's mine.
That decides it.
Don't gimme that!
What are we supposed to do?
Only two kids, why that's...
Pipe down and quit whining!
Winners and losers all, let's be nice to each other.
Nikita, distribute the drinks.
I was waitin' for that!
And so, Romeo and Alfredo were sold.
They were finally free from the grasp of the God of Death.
That was the God of Death's final salutation.
Hey Rossi...
I wonder what your wife's gonna say to you...
I'm looking forward to this!
It looks like it's finally goodbye.
Even though I just met you a week ago, it feels as if I've known you forever.
You're the first close friend I've ever had.
You're the first real friend I ever met too.
Romeo, let's make an oath.
An oath?
Even when our troubles are like a river, our eternal friendship is our safe shore.
Even if we're separated, remember that oath.
C'mon, let's go. And don't dawdle!
Wait, give me just a moment more!
Alfredo!
Oop, where're YOU going?
Wait!
I'd like to at least tell my friend where I'm going.
Where you're GOING?
Just one block away... to hell!
Let go, let me go!
He's already gone.
We hadn't finished our oath yet!
Oath?
Neither of you'll ever see the other again!
I'll be back...
Oh crap, the kid ran off!
Hurry up and run after him!
Stop, you!
I want to finish my oath!
I'll be back, I promise.
Very sorry!
Alfredo, where are you?
Alfredo!
Romeo!
Hurry up-- get on.
Alfredo!
Romeo!
Alfredo...
I... I...
Romeo!
Alfredo!
I won't...
I won't say goodbye!
We'll meet again, I know it!
I swear!
We'll always be together, no matter how far they separate us!
No matter HOW far!
I won't forget. Today is the day...
...that we made this oath.
Piccolo!
Stop!
Jeez, I promised I'd come back.
Trouble from the start!
I sure as hell blew my money this time.
Don't try and run away again, do you hear me?
I'm sorry...
What're you staring at?
Sorry.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
Where? Where d'you think?! My house!
Eighty-five lira...
The old lady's gonna be pissed.
Who's going to be pissed?
Will you shut your mouth ONE SECOND?!
Did it again...
Anyway, don't let your mouth run off from now on, you got it?
Yes.
Mr. Rossi.
Hello, Madela.
A new boy?
Yes, and a bleeding ruffian...
He's already caused an incident!
Energetic is good, isn't it?
Oh yes, how is she doing?
That angel that lives with you?
It's lonely not being able to see that cute face from the window.
Angel...?
Flew away on a pair of teeny wings, all the way to Paris.
She'll be back by tonight, though.
Angel?
Hurry up and get up here!
Yes sir!
Come on in.
What took you so long?
Ah, hello...
Well, did you bring home a kid?
Ye... yes...
Come here.
Yes ma'am!
Your name?
Romeo.
I don't like this uppity-looking sort.
Banish the thought! He's a very well-behaved boy.
So, how much was he?
Well? I'll know it if I count the money in your wallet.
What's it matter, anyway?
"What's it MATTER"?
What're you doing?
Give me your wallet!
That hurts!
Okay, I'll tell you.
Well, it was... about eighty-five...
Eh?
Eighty-five lira!
Eighty-five...
Edda!
It was fifty-five lira the last time!
And we couldn't even make back our investment!
There were only two kids!
If I hadn't paid it he would've been bought by someone else!
That doesn't mean you have to go and spent eighty-five lira!
We're not gonna get squat if we put Anzelmo to work!
Why you... beast!
Are you saying to put our precious only son to work cleaning chimneys?
I didn't mean it!
Stop it, will you?
Dad!
Anzelmo!
Are you going to put me into a chimney?
I was just saying that as an example.
Is that true, Dad?
Of course!
Mom!
Saying such things about my Anzelmo will surely shorten my life!
What're you looking at?
Ummm... Where is mine...?
I'm apalled!
He hasn't even worked yet and expects to get food.
Hurry up and take him away!
All right.
Just be thankful you've even got a place to sleep.
Quit doting! Move!
Don't you dare even get near that room, do you hear me?
Why?
Because it's none of your business!
This is your room.
Go on in.
Get the lead out!
Until I know you won't try to escape again, I'm locking the door.
We can't go and give you the Pope's bedchamber, you know...
So this is our room, he says.
Piccolo, that tickles!
Cut it out!
Can't help it, Piccolo.
After all, he can't go and give us the Pope's bedchamber...
Dad... Mom...
I'm finally in Milan.
I wonder how Alfredo's doing...
The angel!
There really is an angel in that room!
Today is my first day of work.
My boss took me into town and suddenly started yelling something out loud.
What, you want me to do it too?
Spatza camino!
Next time: A Gift from an Angel See you then!
