Episode 36
This is the house Diva and her Chevalier are staying at in England. RICH BITCHES.
Karl confronts Amshel:
KARL: "Why? Why can't I kill Saya?"
AMSHEL: "Karl, what is your assigned role?"
KARL: "To protect Diva."
AMSHEL: "But at the moment, it is Saya that is occupying most of your mind."
KARL: "To protect Diva by killing Saya...What's wrong with that?"
AMSHEL: "Karl, my beloved little brother, what you need now is a bit of rest."
KARL: "I don't need it! If I rest, then James will kill my Saya!"
[Karl turns and leaves]
AMSHEL: "That's unfortunate, Karl."
James and Diva are going on an outing:
DIVA: "Ne, James, where are we going?"
JAMES: "To dinner with the Minister of Defense."
ahhh diva and james are adorable I love them
JAMES: "Of course."
DIVA: "That sounds so boring...
JAMES: "Diva..."
DIVA: "I want to sing."
JAMES: "Sing?"
DIVA: "In that place where I can sing that song."
JAMES: "You can't sing that song of yours without Amshel's permission."
DIVA: "Ne, James...Please?"
lmfao James can't resist that face
JAMES: "We're changing our schedule. Head over to Covent Garden."
DIVA: "Thank you."
JAMES: "If that is your wish."
Covent Garden
At Covent Garden:
NATHAN: "Why all of a sudden? Could it be that you wanted to see me...or something?"
JAMES: "...Diva wants to sing."
NATHAN: "You still haven't rehearsed yet? Even though I think your singing won't leak out from here...Honestly...You're at our mother's beck and call..."
JAMES: "Because she is acting whimsically again, not only will our plans be jeopardized, but we will also have to anticipate contact with Saya."
DIVA: "James!"
[She jumps] JAMES: "Diva!!"
[He rushes over and catches her easily.]
JAMES: "Are you all right?"
[Diva laughs and is now shotalicious]
DIVA: "That was so fun, James!"
JAMES: "Diva..."
NATHAN: "Oh, he's so weak-willed..."
David meets Okamura for some infos:
OKAMURA: "Regarding what you asked me about...The opera, that is..."
DAVID: "Have you learned anything?"
OKAMURA: "The two sponsoring companies are Cinq Fleches Pharmacy and Goldsmith Holdings. Apart from staging opera, those two companies are engaging in rather interesting joint ventures. As you know, Cinq Fleches is a pharmaceutical company. But they have extensive business outside the pharmaceutical sector. One of those areas is food processing."
DAVID: "Foodstuffs, huh? It's not terribly uncommon for a pharmaceutical company to expand into that area."
OKAMURA: "Yeah, but lately they've been expanding beyong civilian food. Into military rations, as well as military base field preparation."
DAVID: "Military?"
OKAMURA: "With the US military as their main client, they have contracts with every country in NATO, Russia and the former communist block, the Middle East, Asia and developing countries in Africa. Recently, even the United Nations. The ones who're building the bridges are the Goldsmiths, who are well-connected with the defense industries."
DAVID: "I suppose selling guns and missiles isn't the only business you can do with the army."
OKAMURA: "Even soldiers need to eat and bathe. I've got the goods, if you need them..."
[He holds up some pictures but gets them smacked out of his hand by Mao. David picks them up.]
DAVID: "What's this?"
OKAMURA: "It's the research facility outside of London, funded jointly by the Goldsmiths and the Cinq Fleches."
MAO: "I think it serves as a research facility for the food manufacturing division."
DAVID: "Security is tight."
[A picture of Van Argeno comes up] DAVID: "This man..."
OKAMURA: "At the moment, he's acting as the top supervisor of this facility. His name is..."
DAVID: "Van Argeno."
Later, Diva sings, and Saya + Haji show up:
SAYA: "That's...
NATHAN: "Yes, the Zoo. Don't you think this is the perfect venue for Diva's performance?"
SAYA: "A Chevalier?"
[Nathan ninjas right up in Saya's grill]
NATHAN: "Indeed. I am Nathan Mahler. Nice to meet you, Saya...And Haji as well. You're much more handsom than I've pictured. Won't you come with me? Soon you will be out of a job, so let's spend some quality time together."
SAYA: "What are you talking about?"
NATHAN: "Oh, you don't know, do you?"
[He snaps his fingers, and one of the boxes lights up]
guess who
SAYA: "Diva!"
NATHAN: "We're just the audience today. The one who'll be with you is...him, James Ironside, your partner."
[James and Saya duke it out]
Diva is not amused
NATHAN: "You're leaving already?"
DIVA: "It's no fun. My sister looks so scary today."
NATHAN: "I see. If you're leaving, don't eat the driver. I have plenty of snacks at home."
DIVA: "All right. I'll hold it till I get home."
[A bit after Diva leaves, Kai shows up and shoots James. It don't work.]
NATHAN: "Oh, that knight is entering the stage. This is an unexpected twist."
KAI: "They just bounce off!"
[So he shoots the stage lights until they fall. Which, with his handgun would never ever work]
KAI: "Saya, retreat."
SAYA: "I can't do that. I must not run away."
[But James is totally fine, fuck yo bullets] KAI: "It can still move?"
SAYA: "How can I run away...How can I run away?"
[mo' fightan]
JAMES: "Die!"
[But, surprisingly, Nathan catches James claw an inch away from Saya's head]
JAMES: "What are you doing, Nathan!?"
NATHAN: "We aren't on stage."
JAMES: "Why does that matter?!"
NATHAN: "There's no audience either. This really isn't a suitable setting for our bride to die."
KAI: "Bride?"
NATHAN: "Saya, I'll prepare for you a fitting stage for your death."
JAMES: "Stop playing games!"
NATHAN: "Playing games? Me? With you?"
JAMES: "Fine. I'll withdraw for now."
NATHAN: "That's it. Good boy. Well then, see you next time on stage."
