Raw Sub Transcript

Young VashA space colony…? Emigrants…?
RemThat’s right, Vash.
RemWe left Earth two hundred years ago  in search of a new home.
Young NaiLike a Western…  Life on the frontier!
Young VashHuh?
Young NaiWhere cowboys stand up for their friends and beat the bad guys!
Young NaiBang, bang!
Young VashI don’t like that stuff.
RemLook, you two.
RemProject Seeds means hope,  a future for humanity and plants.
Young VashHow come we’re the only ones who can live outside the casings?
RemHere’s what I think.
RemMaybe you two are gifts sent by God
Remto act as a bridge between humans and plants.
Young NaiLike angels.
Young VashI wonder if we can get along with humans.
RemDon’t worry. No matter  what happens, I will protect you.
RemAlways.
KnivesWe the Independents will bring  a new order to this world.
KnivesIt’s the birth of a new world!
Radio HostThis is a Satellite News Flash  from November Public Broadcasting!
Radio HostThe unknown object that suddenly  appeared in central JuLai
Radio Hostis continuing to grow at an astounding pace!
WolfwoodIt’s the end of the world.
ConradKnives has gone to the other side of the gate.
MerylThe other side of the gate?
ConradA realm in the higher dimension  that we cannot possibly fathom.
ConradThere, he will connect  directly with the plant core.
ConradHe will artificially impregnate all of the  plants and create new Independents,
Conradsimilar to how he and Vash were born.
ConradThen he will wipe out humanity  and create a new world.
MerylAre you saying he’s going  to kill us if this goes on?
MerylWake up, Vash!
ConradI already told you that he’s no longer  the Vash the Stampede you knew.
ConradAccept it.
ConradThe gate is already open,  with Vash as the hub.
ConradThe only way to close it now  would be to destroy the gate itself.
ConradIn other words, to kill Vash.
MerylThat can’t be…
KnivesI made it.
KnivesI can feel it!
KnivesThis is the power that was  inside you all this time.
KnivesNow, let us begin!
Italics,Soldier RadioThis is JuLai requesting  backup from the Alliance of Cities!
Soldier 12-AWhat’s going on?!
Soldier 12-BThere’s no end to it!
ZazieYou’re not going to run?
ZazieAt this rate, the twins  will take the whole planet.
WolfwoodIt’s not every day I get to see you flustered.
WolfwoodThings not going to plan?
ZazieIt’s really too bad. If you  had a network of your own,
Zazieyou could’ve made death obsolete.
WolfwoodHumans aren’t like Worms.
ZazieAnd I reckon this’ll be the end of you.
WolfwoodFor cryin’ out loud.
MerylThe only one who can  stop Millions Knives is…
ConradHe has been reborn.
ConradAs a plant.
ConradHuman words mean nothing to him anymore.
ConradBut what is he trying to start?
ConradYou must run! It’ll swallow you up!
MerylDon’t you give up now!
MerylYou’re the only one who  can stop Millions Knives!
MerylCome on… Vash!
MerylI know you can hear me, Vash!
ConradShe doesn’t know when to quit.
KnivesPathetic.
KnivesA parasite feeding off our brethren.
KnivesThis power belongs to us.
KnivesI won’t let any human have it!
MerylVash!
MerylVash!
Young NaiWhat’s that song?
Young VashIt just comes to me.
Young VashIt calms me down when I’m nervous.
Young VashI feel like I know it from long ago.
Young NaiHm…
Young VashSay, Nai, do you think we  can get along with humans?
Young NaiDon’t worry. No matter  what happens, I will protect you.
Italics,RemVash.
Italics,RemVash…
Young NaiI will protect you.
Young VashNo…
Young VashNo! You’re not the one who said that!
Young VashThe person who said that to me is…
Young NaiVash.
Young Nai/KnivesYou’ll be so much happier if you stay here.

Young Nai/KnivesVash! Stop!
Italics,RemVash… Vash…

Italics,Rem/MerylVash.
MerylVash? Vash…
MerylVash!
ConradWhat?
ConradThe power…
ConradIt’s flowing in reverse!
KnivesI was rejected!
KnivesWhat’s going on, Doctor?!
ConradThe gate is closing…
ConradThe energy from the  higher plane is converging.
MerylVash…
KnivesSo you think you’ve outplayed me?
KnivesPathetic human!
VashThank you, Meryl.
VashI heard your voice, too.
ConradHe’s controlling that huge mass by himself?
MerylVash…
KnivesVash…
VashNai.
VashYour plan has failed.
VashNow let’s end this.
KnivesIt’s not over.
KnivesI won’t let it be!
KnivesGive that to me!
KnivesVash!
KnivesTake me there again!
KnivesBack to the higher dimension!
ConradIt didn’t converge?
ConradHe refined it on a molecular level?
ConradHe broke it into countless particles,  smaller than air, and crystallized it…
ConradBut that won’t last long!
VashI need to get this someplace  far away right now!
KnivesDo you know what that is, Vash?!
MerylVash!
ConradWait!
MerylU-Undertaker!
WolfwoodI’m just here to pay up for the cigarettes.
WolfwoodWhoa!
WolfwoodWhat kind of idiot challenges  Millions Knives like that?
WolfwoodHe’s way out of our league.
WolfwoodTime to skedaddle!
KnivesDo you see now?
KnivesOur powers are on a whole different level.
KnivesYou think those puny humans  could ever accept that?!
KnivesThey’ll never allow those  who threaten them to survive!
KnivesYou can bet they’ll hunt us down in a frenzy!
MerylUgh…
KnivesGive it to me!
Soldier 12-CThere he is! It’s the Humanoid Typhoon!
VashSoldiers?!
VashIt’s not safe here! You have to get away!
VashPlease, listen to me!

VashYou’re in danger!
Soldier 12-DDon’t let him get away! Open fire!
Soldier 12-EIf you hadn’t shown up,  nobody would have died!
Soldier 12-FHow many cities will you destroy  before you’re done?!
Soldier 12-GHumanoid Typhoon!
VashRun. Please run.
VashYou have to flee!
KnivesIt’s like I already told you.
KnivesOur powers are too great.  Humans will never understand.
KnivesThey’re neither friends nor family.
KnivesThey are our enemies.
VashYou’re wrong. I… We can…
VashWe can get along!
KnivesYour own actions contradict you!
VashI know I’m contradicting myself.
VashBut even so, I won’t give up  until they believe in me.
VashI’ll do whatever it takes!
VashI’ll do everything I can!
MerylI knew it.
MerylVash is trying to release  the energy into outer space.
WolfwoodWhat? But if he does that…
Wolfwoodit’ll blast him to pieces!
KnivesReleasing it into space?
KnivesI won’t let you!
KnivesDoctor! Cut off the lab!
KnivesLet them free!
VashLet go, Nai! I can’t hold it anymore!
VashAt this rate, it’ll be the whole planet, including the plants!
ConradWhat are you going to do, Knives?  The gate is closed.
ConradI can’t send you back to the plane!
KnivesI’ll push this energy back into Vash!
KnivesI’ll pry open the entrance  to the higher dimension again!
KnivesVash!
KnivesI’m telling you to hand it over!
KnivesWe’re out of time!
KnivesListen to me, Vash! This is a war!
KnivesLet’s gather our allies,  break free from the humans,
Knivesand create a paradise for us Independents!
KnivesIt’s the only way!
VashSince when have we been so different?
KnivesWhat are you talking about?
KnivesYou saw for yourself how they’re running  our brethren red and killing them off!
KnivesThe humans will never  understand our Independence.
KnivesThey only see us as slaves!
VashThat’s not true!
KnivesWake up, Vash!
KnivesWhat’s changed since  that day a hundred years ago?
VashYou’re wrong.
KnivesHow long will you remain the hunted?!
VashEven if they hunt me, I’ll just run away!
VashI’ll run, run, run, and keep running  as far as I have to!
VashAnd when things calm down,  I’ll quietly settle by their side again.
VashI’m Vash the Stampede.
KnivesAfter more than a century…
Knivesthat’s the best answer  you could come up with?!
VashLet go! I can’t contain it any longer!
VashStop!
VashYou’ll die!
KnivesWhat are you talking about, Vash?
KnivesNai is dead.
KnivesYou killed him.
KnivesGive it to me!
KnivesTake me back…
VashPlease stop, Nai!
