Fushigi no umi no Nadia

[at the beginning, we see a plaque with foreign writing]

Opening Voice:
Do you seek adventure beyond the treacherous waterfalls? Do you seek the mythical being the dwells in this unreachable place? If you do, then you must first find me.

[Gargoyle watches the wartorn Nautilus disappear into the swirling sea]

Gargoyle:
Thus is the fate of fools!

[Jean, trying to introduce himself to Nadia, notices King beside her]

Jean:
What a strange animal.

Nadia:
[coldly] He's a lion.

King:
[growls at Jean]

Jean:
[cheerfully] Come on, now. Don't be so dour. You only live once, so we have to make the most of this opportunity!

Sanson:
Cheer up, girls! Don't be such gloomy Glindas!

Jean:
[tries to contact the bridge on the intercom] Chief Engineer! You must please open the engine room bunker right now, or Monsieur Fait will die in there!

Nautilus Crew Member:
[on intercom] He can't do it, Jean! You'll be exposed to poison gas if he lets you in there!

Jean:
Oh no! But the ship is full of advanced technology! There has to be something you can do for them! YOU MUST SAVE MONSIEUR FAIT!

Nautilus Chief Engineer:
[on intercom] This ship is guided by super-science, but it * cannot* work miracles! There is nothing we can do.

Jean:
[breaking into tears] You can't do this! You just can't let him die like that! You have to do something!

Nautilus Chief Engineer:
If we surface, we could purge the poison gas, and that would save them. But we cannot surface right now. I'm sorry.

Ensign Fait:
[on intercom, from engine room] He's right, Jean! [gasping for breath] If we surface, that warship would destroy the entire ship...

Jean:
Monsieur Fait!

Ensign Fait:
Jean... can you hear me?

Jean:
We'll get you out of there!

Ensign Fait:
Don't bother, Jean! [Jean winces] Opening the hatch would only endanger everyone else on board!

Jean:
But I... I don't... DON'T CARE!

Ensign Fait:
The captain made the right decision. If he hadn't closed us off, the entire engine room would be contaminated! It's better for a few to die than for that to happen! It is the risk of being a sailor!

Jean:
[gasping in horror] You're wrong!

Nadia:
Beasts! [races to the intercom] Captain, listen to me. You must surface immediately and save the lives of your men! Why must you protect the ship? What's so important about its secrets? Please, sir! If you raise the white flag, they won't fire on us! You could save everyone! You don't have to kill! [Nemo doesn't respond] You! You're not human! NO! YOU BEAST!

Grandis:
[striking Nadia's face] You keep your mouth shut until you understand how much the captain is suffering!

Nadia:
[breaks into uncontrollable sobbing]

Ensign Fait:
[from engine room] Nadia... the knowledge aboard this ship will be dangerous in enemy hands! It can't be surrendered like that!

Nadia:
But you're... He can't...

Ensign Fait:
You have to understand this, Nadia. You can't allow yourself to think badly of the captain for it. He's the only reason any of us are on this ship! Captain Nemo, please carry out the ship's mission! Don't stop until the Neo-Atlanteans are defeated! Please, sir! That would be an honorable memorial for us. Jean, please take care of yourself and keep a good watch over Nadia, too. Give her flowers and touch her heart...

Jean:
Monsieur Fait...!

Ensign Fait:
Goodbye, Jean. [after a pause, alarms blare from the engine room] Oh, no! I don't wanna die! There're so many more things I wanted to do! PLEASE! [gasping] I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA... [coughing uncontrollably]

Jean:
[pounding against the door] Monsieur Fait! Monsieur Fait! [continues banging until there is silence] Monsieur Fait...! [sinks to his knees, wailing hysterically]
