Cardcaptor Sakura, Season One

Cerberus:
And who used this to scatter all the cards?

Sakura:
Well, who fell asleep and didn't guard the cards?

Cerberus:
Clow Cards. When unleashed, they will bring chaos to the world. They are special cards created by a magician named Clow Reed. Each one is alive and has its own special powers. They do as they please, and on top of that, ordinary people can't control them. That's why Clow made this book and put me, the guardian beast, on the cover.

Sakura:
(about Cerberus) Batteries...? Where's the switch...? Where's the voice coming from?

Cerberus:
I am not a toy!!!! I am Cerberus, the guardian beast of this book.

Cerberus:
Well, do something, you're the Cardcaptor.

Sakura:
And you're the supposedly intelligent guardian that knows all about the cards!

Sakura:
Why did you tag along!?

Kero:
Well, I wanted to get a glimpse of how the Cardcaptor usually spends her day.

Sakura:
I've been saying, I can't be the Cardcaptor!

Kero:
Humble, so humble...

Kero:
What is it?

Sakura:
A plush toy?

Kero:
You're still not awake, come on. Get a grip! (Kero hits Sakura on the head)

Sakura:
(after Touya ate her pancake) You're so mean! (starts hitting Touya) You ate without asking! Those were the hot cakes I bought with my allowance!

Kero:
Come to think, you're right. There's no way you would drown, Sakura. You don't have much beyond your athletic abilities.

Sakura:
What do you mean, not much else? I won't give you hot cakes anymore, then!

Kero:
(about Sakura and Yukito) What, they're not even holding hands? Kids nowadays...

Kid:
Mr. Plush Toy!

Kero:
Young one...You'll get hurt if you mess with me.

Kero:
It's hard to capture things with no solid shape, like water. Watery is one of the higher magic spells Clow Cards too. The four basic elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are rather difficult to use. Furthermore, Watery is an offensive card, so it's got quite a temper.

Kero:
Someone almost drowned? Was it you, Sakura!?

Sakura:
No, Kero. You weren't really listening to me were you?

Sakura:
Maybe it's a ghost...

Kero:
They don't appear in broad daylight.

Sakura:
Maybe some do!

Touya:
(About Yukito) He eats at least three times as much as I do.

Sakura:
Three times?

Yukito:
: Go ahead and have some too, Sakura. It's my treat.

Sakura:
: Kero is waiting for me at home, so...

Yukito:
Kero...?

Sakura:
Uh, um, nothing!

Sakura:
How are you doing, Kero? (Shows Kero putting laundry into the washing machine)

Kero:
Just because there's nobody home right now. Why do I have to do something like this? (Falls into the washing machine, and crawls out) OH MY, I GUESS I'M GOING TO BE DIZZY TODAY.

Sakura:
(She didn't hear Kero) Oh yeah! When this is done I'll have some ice cream with Kero-chan!

Kero:
Well then I guess I'll do some chores...

Sakura:
Good morning!

Fujitaka:
Good morning, Sakura.

Touya:
The monster is on cloud nine...

Sakura:
I'll forgive you today!

(Sakura screams)

Tomoyo and Kero:
What!?

Sakura:
Look!

(The house is messy again)

Sakura:
Now I have to clean it up again

Tomoyo:
I'll help you.

Sakura and Kero:
(crying and hugging Tomoyo) Thank you...

Maki:
(to Tomoyo and Sakura about why she runs a shop) I was engaged. He was a designer, but he died in a car accident...He loved plush toys, and...told me that he wanted to sell plush toys, and that he'd designed in his own shop.

Sakura:
Miss Maki...

Maki:
If I quit...he'll be sad...But I can't do this anymore...

Sakura:
Kero, you said that there wouldn't be a card stupid enough to collect plush toys...

Kero:
Well, Jump in itself is like a plush toy. Maybe it just wanted friends?

Sakura:
A shop where something bad happens to you when you buy stuff there? You don't mean...getting something stolen?

Tomoyo:
Yes.

Sakura:
And that's Miss Maki's shop?

Tomoyo:
I can't say that for sure, it's a rumor in the toy store industry.

Sakura:
(thinking) Tomoyo's in the choir. She's really good at singing and has won many competitions. (listens to Tomoyo sing) It's a beautiful voice.

Kero:
(talking to a cat plushie) You're pretty good-looking.

Sakura:
What are you doing?!

Sakura:
I wish you would turn back into your true form and become my bodyguard, Kero.

Kero:
If you want to do that, then you have to...at least capture the cards that govern "fire" and "earth." My true form is really cool!

Sakura:
Cool...? (pictures a giant stuffed Kero)

(After all the girls ran away from the ghostly figure):

Sakura:
A long-haired woman!

Chiharu:
A blurry, pointed eye...

Naoko:
A one-eyed, round...

Rika:
A pink thing with a wide mouth and fangs!

Tomoyo:
A large nikuman.

(All the girls stare at her wide-eyed):

Tomoyo:
I mean, what I saw was a large nikuman.

Yukito:
If you really like Sakura so much, you should stop making fun of her.

Touya:
The only one who can play with her is me.

Yukito:
Have you ever heard of a "sister complex"?

Touya:
Shut up.

Sakura:
(To Illusion) My mother wouldn't do that!!!

Yukito:
There are things called foretelling dreams.

Sakura:
(thinking) That's exactly what Kero was saying.

Yukito:
Actually I had a foretelling dream myself last night. In the dream, my breakfast was a roasted fish. And I really had fish for breakfast. I was so happy I had 6 more bowls of rice!

Sakura:
Big brother...It's nothing. I just had a weird dream.

Touya:
Oh, I see...So it was just grunts from a monster...

Sakura:
What did you say!?

Syaoran:
You mean to say that THIS is Cerberus, the Golden-Eyed Beast of the Seal.... This plush toy?

Syaoran:
: Daily chores?

Yamazaki:
When your turn for the daily chores comes, you clean the blackboards, write in the daily report, sing songs during recess, dance around...There are a lot of things you have to do.

Syaoran:
They do that in Japanese schools?

Touya:
That brat was near our house!?

Yukito:
He went home before too long, though.

Touya:
I guess I have to beat him up once.

Yukito:
Is that how you warded off all the boys who got close to Sakura?

Touya:
Only I can make fun of her.

Yukito:
You really do have a sister complex.

Touya:
Shut up!

Sakura:
(thinking) Today is Tomoeda Elementary School's athletic festival! There are kids who say athletic festivals are a pain so they don't like them. But I love it!

Kid #1:
That fourth grader Kinomoto sure runs fast.

Kid #2:
Nobody can win against her.

(Tomoyo appears and surprises the kids)

Tomoyo:
Not only is Sakura super fast, she's super cute as too!

Yukito:
(about Sakura's cheerleading skills) Sakura has gotten much better.

Touya:
Well, if you compare it to before. When she first joined the squad, you know how she tosses the baton, right? She always caught it with her head.

(baton falls and hits Sakura on the head)

Touya:
See?

Tomoyo:
Sakura, allow me to introduce. This is my mother.

(Sonomi stares at Sakura)

Sonomi:
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Sonomi Daidouji. Thank you for being such good friends with Tomoyo all the time.

Sakura:
That's not true. I'm always the one being helped out...

Sonomi:
You really are cute. You look a lot like someone I know... I've heard a lot about you from Tomoyo, but she never told me your last name. Would you care to tell me what it is?

Sakura:
Oh, um Kino-

(Fujitaka calls to Sakura)

Sakura:
Dad!

(Sonomi screams)

Sonomi:
Mr. Kinomoto!!

Sakura:
Um, what kind of person was my dad? Dad tells a lot of stories about my mother but he doesn't say much about himself. I'm told that he has no relatives left, and I don't know any of Mother's. So... so...

Sonomi:
Your father is... a disgusting person. He's handsome, kind, a great chef, and can do anything and everything. From the perspective of someone who loved Nadeshiko he's a very, tremendously disgusting person. Let's see... his flaw is that he has no flaw... I guess.

Kero:
CAKE!! You left me out of the loop! I was the only one who couldn't eat cake! You looked so happy when you were eating that cake, Sakura...

Sakura:
I-I'm sorry, Kero.

Kero:
I was watching the WHOLE thing from this room!

Kero:
Shield is a card that protects valuable things. It has a tendency to protect more and more important things. I must say that the contents of this box must be really cherished by its owners.

Sonomi:
This is the bouquet from when your mother Nadeshiko got married. A bouquet of cherry blossoms... Nadeshiko loved cherry blossoms. She kept saying ever since she was little how she would name her baby "Sakura" if it was a girl.

Sakura:
"Sakura"...

Sonomi:
And you are that baby, Sakura.

Sakura:
Li! Is your face all right?

Tomoyo:
That's right; the soccer ball hit you in the face when you turned around. But it still went in the goal anyway. It was quite spectacular.

Sakura:
Y-You're not with my big brother?

Yukito:
I'm in charge of the chores today.

Sakura:
Today really is a wonderful day!

Yukito:
What?

(Sakura blushes and looks downward)

(Touya and Yukito are both in the play, and Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran are amongst the crowd watching)

Yukito:
You seem to be in a bind, Cinderella, here. (Hands Touya a card)

Touya:
This is an invitation to the ball. But why would you...?

Yukito:
It's because I am a sorcerer.

Touya:
What's that on your head?

Yukito:
A can of mackerel. This discarded can of mackerel gained magical powers as time passed!

(Sakura and Syaoran fall from their seats, embarrassed)

Syaoran:
W-Why a can of mackerel?

Tomoyo:
Perhaps it's to raise public awareness about not wasting things?

(After the bed Sakura made for Kero broke)

Kero:
Are you sure it wasn't just made poorly?

Sakura:
You're cruel! You just got fat, Kero-chan!

Kero:
What!? I haven't gained any weight! It's just that you're bad with this kinda stuff, Sakura!

Sakura:
I heard that!

Sakura:
You're fine without eating anything, right, Kero?

Kero:
Yeah.

Sakura:
But you like sweets.

Kero:
It's just something I like.

Sakura:
Does that mean you just have a greedy appetite?

(Kero falls in embarrassment)

Kero:
Hey! Did you forget I was in here!?

Sakura:
I'm sorry! The room was just too wonderful, and I...

Kero:
Oh, it is rather nice.

Sakura:
See? And I was really happy so...

Kero:
So you were about to make me into a sandwich.

Sakura:
I said I was sorry.

Kero:
I'll let you go this time, but bring me some desserts after dinner.

Syaoran:
Today, inside that cave, I felt a strange presence.

Sakura:
A Clow Card?

Syaoran:
No, not a Clow Card.

Sakura:
Then, could it be a Gh-gh-gh-gh-...

Syaoran:
Are you trying to say "Ghost"?

(Sakura nods vigorously)

Syaoran:
I don't know what it is yet, but I felt a strange presence in this rocks again just a few minutes ago.

Yamazaki:
Do you know what the origin of the water yo-yo is? It was first seen in the Edo era, and it was more like a regular summer past time for peasants.

Sakura:
Wait, did they have rubber way back then?

(Sakura holds up the water yo-yo)

Sakura:
This is rubber, right?

Tomoyo:
Yes.

Yamazaki:
Yeah, so they used to make it out of glass.

Chiharu:
It's getting pretty fishy now...

Sakura:
Glass? Then they couldn't play with it like this- (Sakura bounces the water yo-yo into her palm)

Yamazaki:
No, the classy people invented ways to play with it without breaking it.

Chiharu:
It's a lie, a lie.

Sakura:
Aren't you bored just watching, Tomoyo?

Tomoyo:
No, I'm having a very fun time because I'm able to film you having fun, Sakura.

(Sakura falls over embarrassed)

Syaoran:
Don't get in my way!

Kero:
I wanted to go this way too!

Syaoran:
You're ruining my concentration.

Kero:
Don't you mean you don't have enough concentration?

(Syaoran glares at him)

Kero:
You sure are short-tempered. Well, since you're studying, I'll let you off the hook today.

Sakura:
Of all the books to review, the thinnest one was Piglet Story, right? Did you read Piglet Story, too, Tomoyo?

Tomoyo:
No, I read a different book.

Sakura:
Was it a good book?

Tomoyo:
Yes, very.

Sakura:
Maybe I should read that book too, then. What was it called?

(After searching for the book, Tomoyo points at a thick book on the shelves)

Tomoyo:
It was this one.

Sakura:
What, this!?

Tomoyo:
Yes.

Sakura:
Maybe I'll just read about piglets.

Touya:
What is your construction project this year?

Yukito:
It's a little birdhouse, right?

Sakura:
Yes!

Touya:
And this time, there's no entrance to it.

Sakura:
That's-

(Sakura looks down to the birdhouse)

Sakura:
There isn't one...

Touya:
Did you really forget?

Sakura:
But I'm not good at this kind of stuff!

Kero:
Is this her? Is this the fiance of that kid?

Meiling:
So you're here looking for the card as well.

Sakura:
Then you are, too?

Meiling:
I'm going to capture it and hand it over to Syaoran. The card is Syaoran's!

Kero:
What!? I won't let things go your way! Sakura is the only Cardcaptor I've accepted!

(Meiling grabs Kero):

Meiling:
What is this? Your guardian beast or something?

Sakura:
Kero is the Beast of the Seal of the Clow Cards.

Meiling:
This thing that looks like a bath sponge!?

Kero:
You try saying that again, brat!

(Meiling swats Kero away with the palm of her hand):

Yukito:
Sakura, your face is red. Are you sure you don't have a fever?

Sakura:
I-I'm fine!

Touya:
For this dinner, even if she has a fever of 40 degrees Celsius she wouldn't budge, because she is...

(Sakura stomps on Touya's foot):

Touya:
Did you see the news last night, Sakura?

Sakura:
What?

Touya:
The one about how a black-belt in karate got beaten up on the streets last night.

Yukito:
I saw that one! I heard the opponent was a girl.

Sakura:
I didn't know about that.

Touya:
I had thought it was you, Sakura. You are a monster after all...

Sakura:
What was that!?

Sakura:
Meiling, you're good at running marathons?

Meiling:
Am I good? Who do you think you're asking? You will be crying all the way as you run behind me the whole race!

Sakura:
Why would I be crying?

Meiling:
You'll be crying from frustration.

Sakura:
Dad sure seemed to be sleepy, maybe it's because he has been staying up late for a while. Although, Kero, you look like you've been asleep the whole time.

Kero:
What are you saying!? I was doing my hardest to hide! I wasn't asleep at all!

Sakura:
Oh, then what's the imprint of the basket on the left side of your cheek?

Kero:
So you're going to your dad's school Sakura?

Sakura:
Do you want to come with me Kero?

Kero:
I don't have to study, I am already wise.

Sakura:
I don't mean that I want to bring my dad another snack. I'm sure he needs a change of clothes too since he's sleeping at his office. Oh, maybe I can invite Tomoyo as well.

Kero:
Tomoyo? Will she bring us homemade cookies when she comes over?

Sakura:
Kero, all you ever think about is food.

Sakura:
Hey, how about this book?

(Sakura hands Tomoyo a book)

Tomoyo:
Then, these too...

(Tomoyo picks up a stack of eight books)

Tomoyo:
I will be all right if I have this much. Thank you very much.

Sakura:
But what are you going to do with so many books about flowers?

Tomoyo:
I've somewhat fallen into a creator's block lately. So I thought about using these books as a new motif...

Sakura:
M-Motif?

Tomoyo:
Of course, for designing your costumes, Sakura! Because you are the one who wears them, Sakura, I must always create costumes with new ideas and a sense of design!

Sakura:
Tomoyo is a really good singer.

Meiling:
I'm good at singing, too!

Kero:
If [the card] copied your singing, brat, it'd tarnish the image of the Clow Cards!

Meiling:
What was that!?

Kero:
Since you're wearing those ceremonial clothes, and even got your sword, you came here to look for a Clow Card! Didn't you, kid?

Syaoran:
Who are you calling a kid?

Kero:
"Kid" is enough for someone who hasn't even been alive for a decade!

Tomoyo:
Did something nice happen to you? Because you've looked so happy since you came in.

Sakura:
(Whispering) Today, Yukito is sleeping over at our house. He'll be going over our plans for their athletic festival with my big brother.

Tomoyo:
Oh, is that so?

Syaoran:
Who's going sleeping over!?

Sakura:
I said it in a really small voice...

Tomoyo:
I guess the name of someone you like can be heard in any condition.

(After Sakura puts on her new costume):

Tomoyo:
Sakura, you really are too cute!

Sakura:
You're embarrassing me.

Tomoyo:
You shouldn't blush, Sakura. You're the world's only Cardcaptor! Seeing you in action wearing this costume, Sakura, it is so touching!

Sakura:
T-Tomoyo...

Kero:
Enough of this! Let me eat already!

Sakura:
I'm jealous! I really am! I want to live in a huge castle like this!

Touya:
If you lived in such a huge place, your new life would be much tougher.

Sakura:
Why?

Touya:
You don't know how many days it will take to finish cleaning! On top of it, I am positive you would get lost!

Sakura:
I wouldn't get lost!

Touya:
In the first place, you aren't exactly fitted to be a princess Sakura.

Yukito:
Sakura, you're very good at cleaning.

Sakura:
I don't think so.

Touya:
She's not usually like this. She breaks things all over the place like a monster. You can't tell if she's cleaning or making a mess.

(Sakura tries to stomp on Touya's foot, but misses and hurts her own)

Kero:
What's up? You look awfully happy, Sakura.

Sakura:
How do I look? Yukito cut my hair for me.

Kero:
You haven't changed one bit!

Sakura:
Yukito really can do everything! He's very athletic, and wonderful...

Touya:
(Calling from downstairs) Sakura, help us down here!

Sakura:
Okay!

Kero:
I just don't understand girls in love.

Meiling:
You promised you would eat lunch with me!

Syaoran:
W-Wait a minute. We're having a serious conversation right now.

Meiling:
What kind of serious conversation?

Tomoyo:
About Ms. Mizuki.

Meiling:
What's this!? Despite the fact that you already have me!?

Syaoran:
It's not what you're thinking about!

Touya:
If you don't watch where you're going, you'll trip.

Sakura:
I'm fine!

Touya:
Even if you are, you'll make a big hole in the ground if you trip!

Sakura:
What was that!?

Syaoran:
(flashback) Be careful. That teacher really is something.

Sakura:
(thinking) He told me to be careful but... I get all dazed when I see Ms. Mizuki!

Syaoran:
(after Sakura asks where Meiling is) I left her at home. She still wasn't done with homework.

Kero:
(laughs) It's this late, and she's still doing it?

Sakura:
Meiling just transferred to our school, and she's still not used to Japanese. I'm sure she can't help it.

Syaoran:
What about you? Where's the girl that always films you?

Sakura:
(about liking Yukito) I-I guess you could say it was love at first sight... How about you, Li?

Syaoran:
O-On the day that I transferred here...

Sakura:
S-So, it was love at first sight as well... Y-You and I are both much younger than Yukito, Li... But we can't help it. Because we like him.

Kero:
(about Meiling) Women are such a hassle when they're in love.

Touya:
Oh, I'm going to take one of these!

Sakura:
Big brother! That's bad manners!

Touya:
You made these?

Sakura:
Dad did.

Touya:
Then they're safe!

Sakura:
What's that suppose to mean!?

Kero:
You're really worked up about this.

Sakura:
Because I'm going to have Yukito and Ms. Mizuki eat some of the cake!

Kero:
Don't forget about my share!

Yamazaki:
Cheering? Let me tell you about cheering. When the Roman emperor was thrown out to sea during a war, he made his soldiers wave "Hure" for help. And then the wave became "Hooray", turning it into today's cheering style.

Chiharu:
That's a lie.

Yamazaki:
Lies? Let me tell you about lies...

Meiling:
That card was definitely Syaoran's!

Kero:
Well, that's the difference in ability.

Meiling:
That was luck! If the huge cat didn't get in the way, the card would've been Syaoran's!

Kero:
Don't you mean the cat would've eaten him up if Sakura hadn't sealed it away?

Meiling:
What was that!?

Kero:
Are you picking a fight, brat!?

Sakura:
You guys...

Tomoyo:
I am so happy!

Kero:
Tomoyo's happiness is very simple.

Tomoyo:
Being able to spend time with someone I care about, having her wear cute clothing, and being able to record her on video. This is the epitome of bliss!

Kero:
Yeah, you can even record my ultra-handsome self!

Touya:
You're being loud so early in the morning.

Sakura:
I'm not being loud!

Touya:
A monster's footsteps resonate.

Sakura:
I am not a monster!

Touya:
Don't you think you've gained some weight recently? The sky looms closer to the monster, as it fattens up in autumn...

Sakura:
I am not fat!

Touya:
But then, you're not growing any taller either.

(After Kero and Syaoran switch bodies)

Syaoran:
You're so optimistic.

Kero:
What was that!?

Syaoran:
It might be fine for you, but I'm stuck in this body as a plush toy!

Kero:
Who are you calling a plush toy? I don't want to be in this ugly body either!

Syaoran:
What!?

(Sakura starts to giggle)

Kero and Syaoran:
What's so funny about this!?

Sakura:
I think I'll go make a late-night snack now...

Kero:
You just ate dinner a few minutes ago!

Sakura:
But Yukito eats a lot! He might be hungry already.

Kero:
He came over to study for exams, right? If you eat too much, don't you get a little sleepy?

Sakura:
(sadly) You're right. (happily) Then I'll go take them some tea and sweets!

(Meiling tackles Syaoran)

Meiling:
I'm cold! It's cold! Syaoran, I'm cold...

Syaoran:
(gives her his scarf) If you're cold, stay inside.

Meiling:
Thanks! (Syaoran leaves) But it's cold even if I stay inside...

(After Sakura seals The Freeze Card)

Meiling:
I'M HOT!

Yamazaki:
And speaking of quizzes... The first person to make such a question was a philosopher from Greece. The very first question was "What walks with 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs at night?" and...

Chiharu:
Yeah, yeah.

(Chiharu begins to drag Yamazaki off, while Sakura thinks about the question)

Yamazaki:
And, the first person to get that question right was....

Sakura:
Hey, Yamazaki, what was the answer to that question?

(notices Yamazaki is gone)

Yukito:
A human. As a baby you crawl on 4, as an adult you walk on 2 and when old, you use a cane for 3.

Kero:
So the card is once again Sakura's. And it's a high-ranking card, too!

Syaoran:
Even with your powers back, you're still a plush toy.

Kero:
What was that!? Try saying that again!

Syaoran:
I'll say it as much as I want! Plush toy, plush toy, plush toy!

Sakura'S Freezing Ice-Skating Experience:
"The Freeze" Card is sealed by Sakura, but goes to Syaoran.

Sakura'S Wonderful Christmas:
This Season 1 finale is immediately followed by the first movie.
