World Masterpiece Theater
Romeo's Blue Skies
"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
Takara Fansubs Original translation: TechnoGirls
Romeo became friends with the angelic girl called Angeletta.
And then...
Angeletta, who had not left her room in ages due to her illness,
...received from Romeo the gift of the prodigious, azure sky of Milan.
Episode 11:
An Angel's Abode
What a beautiful sight!
Aaah! It's the Wolf Pack!
"Wolf Pack"?
Damned kid!
Ah...! It's that...!
Stop!
Too bad! I'm afraid this here's a dead-end.
Heh heh... Looks like we've caught us a rat in a trap.
What're you trying to pull...?!
The only rats caught in a trap here are YOU guys!
Who's that?!
I didn't think that it'd be this easy to catch you guys.
My name's Rinaldo... but my friends all call me "Red".
Damn you!
I'm Tachioni -- also called "The Bull".
Dammit!
I'm Leo "The Louse"!
...and this guy is Faustino.
And I'm Nikita!
And together we form... THE WOLF PACK!
Get 'em!
Did it! I got him!
Why don't you run along home before YOU get hurt too.
Don't screw with me!
Leo!
Don't move!
One move and I'll slice this guy's face in two!
S... stop it, man!
I don't want a scar on my face!
Leo...
You keep still too.
He's come! It's him!
Giovanni!
Giovanni?
That'll be enough, you guys. I'll take it from here.
I told you not to move!
I'm serious, man!
Do it.
...if you got the guts to.
Just watch!
Don't!!
What's wrong?
GONNA DO IT OR NOT?!
We surrender!
Heeeelp...!
We did it!
What a victory for the Wolf Pack!
Man, there really ain't another one like you, Giovanni.
Fellow Wolves!
Hooray for the Wolf Pack!
Anzelmo!
Some timing YOU'VE got!
I just came from doing in another one of 'em!
I thought I was gonna die!
I stole this!
May I present our victory flag!
Victory flag, huh?
Pretty impressive for you, Anzelmo.
Why, this is simply MARVELOUS, Mr. Giovanni!
All right, let's go!
Why, that Anzelmo...
For your distinguished service today, I appoint you "general".
Yo! Rinaldo the Red!
General, huh?
What about me, Giovanni?
You'll appoint me general, too, won't you?
No way. You goofed big-time during last week's raid.
Not only that, but there was that cop too!
Anzelmo was dead-on warning us about him coming!
That's right. That was a real feat.
Way to go, Anzelmo!
But I'M the one who knocked them down!
I'd say someone never puts their COGITATIVE muscles to any use...
What the hell's that supposed to mean!
Using those damned high-falootin' words on purpose!
Sounds like Anzelmo's saying that he's stronger than you up here...
S--say WHAT?! I'll beat the...!!
Stop it!
That's enough, Tachioni!
I can't just let him make a fool of me in front of everyone!
Can't you see it's this temper of yours that screws things up?!
True enough, you're pretty smart.
I'll give you that much.
Way to go, Mr. Royalty!
Hey, why don't you show "it" to us again. It's been a long time.
Cool idea!
That doesn't sound half-bad!
I been waiting for this!
My mother and I were originally Russian royalty.
But I was kidnapped at the age of four by a group of bandits.
They attacked us suddenly in the middle of a snowstorm.
And THIS is the scar that I received on that day.
It looks more and more like one each time I see it!
A scorpion-shaped scar.
Anzelmo!
You're special.
Bring us some kind of treasure tomorrow morning.
And if everybody agrees that it's cool enough a treasure...
...I'll make you a knight.
Giovanni!
Eh?
That's awesome, Anzelmo!
I was watching the whole battle...
And that Anzelmo is the lowest. He's a coward!
Oh, sorry! I forgot that he's your brother.
No, it's just as you say.
He has a lot of problems.
But there were so many good things about him when he was younger.
Good things? About Anzelmo? No way.
There are, still. I know it.
Being considerate is just hard for him.
Treasure, treasure, treasure!
Something that everybody'll find interesting?!
Shit! Giovanni, you damn jerk, you knew how hard that order would be!
Very well, Angeletta.
I'll do as best as I can and try to find these GOOD points of his.
Will you really? Please do!
Leave it to me!
What's wrong, Palmo?
I've got a favor to ask of you.
Yes?
Well... I was wondering if you could teach me how to read...?
To read?
I thought... It'd be neat if I could read lots of different things...
Like you and Alfredo do.
That's wonderful!
How about this? We could exchange letters.
Letters?
We write down our feelings, and what happened during our day.
Write! Write! Write your love-letters!
My, what an elegant-looking boy!
Why, I'll be painted if you don't look like a veritable PRINCE! No?
Well, now! You think so, too, do you, Palmo?
Now, what were those vagrants called...?
The "Wolf Pack", was it?
You and that bunch are like chalk and cheese -- like silk and sandpaper!
Why, I heard they raised a devil's rumpus again in town just yesterday.
Anzelmo, keep your hands clean of that filthy bunch, okay?
You're my precious treasure!
Of course, mom! I don't even want to get NEAR those guys!
Come now -- we're going out to buy your new shoes.
I'm appalled.
How you can say a black lie with a straight face like that?
You feel contempt for me, don't you.
I'm just timid...
When I'm with my Mom or my friends I always play up to them like that.
You know how it is, when you want people to like you?
You're talking, and -- you just wind up telling a lie.
Sure, I understand, but...
Please don't say anything to Mom about the Wolf Pack and me!
In exchange, I won't say anything about your secret, either.
Huh...?! Se...secret?
Angeletta has always been lonely...
I know she's happy to have you as a friend.
Please be a good friend to her.
I won't tell anyone! This is a secret between just us three.
I guess you probably don't trust me.
No no -- it makes me really happy!
Thank you, Anzelmo!
I won't say a thing about it -- about the Wolf Pack.
I promise!
Come in.
Angeletta!
Romeo!
It's just like you said!
Anzelmo really DOES have a good side!
This has really made me re-think him.
He said he'd keep it a secret about us.
Oh -- he knew all about it!
That guy! It turns out he's just a little fainthearted...
Despite what he does, his intentions are actually good.
From now on it's a secret between the THREE of us!
Really?
Yeah.
Oh -- here. I've a letter for you.
A letter?
Romeo! Where are you? Let's go!
Oh crap! The boss is going to catch me!
Romeo! Here.
Romeo!
Thank you!
Oh, no!
Angeletta began to panic.
The paper she'd given Romeo had been a page of her DIARY.
Huh?
That's odd...
She said she would only write one line while we were just beginning...
I wonder what it says...
That's the "treasure"?
It's a love-letter!
A love letter?
I give up... I can't make out a thing!
Hey! If it isn't Romeo!
Anzelmo!
Is that one of Angeletta's letters?
I'm really stuck. I can't read it.
Gee, if I could only read, I would help you out, but...
I'll have Angeletta read it to me tonight.
Time to head back, else the boss is going to yell at me.
Romeo!
Oh no! Come quick!
I turned my head just for ONE second, and a thief...!
Stop!
I'll cut him off over here!
Thanks, Anzelmo!
Suck on that, nitwit!
I wish I could have seen this "Romeo's" face at that instant.
Jeez, you really ARE smart, Anzelmo!
There ain't another one like him!
How's about you quit snickering, and cough up this letter of yours!
I wonder if everybody will accept it as okay...
'Course we will!
It's the biggest haul we've made since the Wolf Pack got together.
A love-letter, huh?
Read it.
"I am oppressed with sorrow..."
"...the merest thought of him is like an icy hand crushing my heart."
"One shouldn't lie -- and yet Anzelmo has a habit of doing so."
Keep reading, Nikita.
"The heap of lies he tells his friends builds daily..."
"...for example, that he is of Russian royal blood..."
S--stop it!
Keep going, Nikita.
"It seems he has been saying that he got the scar on his shoulder when he was assaulted by bandits..."
"...though it's only a scar from when he burned himself on the hearth two years ago."
"And every day sees a redoubling of his disparaging comments
about everybody in the Wolf Pack."
"Seeing such an Anzelmo makes me so miserable I..."
Th--this is some kind of...!
Do it.
Hey boss...
Anzelmo was really nice to me today!
He was?
Some thief stole my letter, though... but...
Anzelmo's really good at heart, isn't he.
It's all... Romeo's fault.
I'll get revenge.
I'll make sure he never sees Angeletta again.
Never!
Me -- a thief?!
You say your stolen money was found in my bag?!
I didn't do anything!
You believe me, don't you, Anzelmo?
See you then!
