NOT FAT
[Ayeka is sitting on the bridge of a small ship damaged ship, sending out an emergency beacon. From outside we see Ryo-Ohki stop in front of her ship. We cut back to the interior of Ayeka's ship as Ryoko's face appears on a monitor.]
Ryoko: Need a lift, chubby?
Ayeka: Yes. Thank you very much.
Ryoko: Well, hop on in, fatso. [Beams Ayeka into Ryo-Ohki.] So, where you headed, lumpy? Where's a great fat thing like you off to?
Ayeka: Well I was going to Earth. But, you can drop me off anywhere that's convenient.
Ryoko: Soo. . . what's a big lump of lard do on Earth? I mean-what's a planet like that have to offer wide-ass two-ton hunk of humanity, like yourself? Cuz, you know, it's a small planet; you sure you'll fit? That's what I'm worried about; will you fit? So, I gotta ask, why Earth, hmm, you walkin' talkin' sebaceous gland?
Ayeka: Well, my brother Yosho is living there. So I might stay there for awhile.
Ryoko: Ooo. So, the family Fat's having a fat family reunion, huh? A whole flabby clan gathered together in the front yard playin' lawn darts on wobbly thighs. Is that the idear? Am I paintin' an accurate portrait of this spectacle? Huh? Oh my God! There's an elephant in the ship!
[Ayeka looks around the cockpit.]
Ryoko: Rogue elephant! Rogue elephant! Save the children. Oh, it's just you. Oh boy, am I hungry. You know, I guess I haven't had anything to eat in about, uh. . .an hour. You ever done that? You ever gone a whole hour without eating? Guess not, not a woman of your remarkable girth. [pauses] Boy, are you fat.
Ayeka: I am not fat! I used to be fat, but I lost sixty pounds. That's why I'm leaving Jurai. I'm tired of being though of as "The fat girl." I'm going start a new life, at a new weight, on a new planet. I'm not fat! I'm never going be fat again!
[Ryo-Ohki suddenly stops.]
Ryoko: Get the hell out of my ship, fatso! C'mon, drag your cavernous stretch marks outta my ship.
Ayeka: I'm not fat! [gets beamed out of the ship]
Ryoko: Yeah, go shout it from the mountain! Wait a minute! You are the mountain! [starts the ship moving] God, I hate fat people. I hate what it says about their personality. Why, would you look at that space freighter. [shakes her fist at the screen] Hey! Why don't you get that fat thing outta my way, ya fat bastard! Jeez.
