Kenji "Doc" Noda
[introducing himself I'm Noda. [shakes hands with Shikishima]
I developed naval weapons during the war. [points to the others] Boat captain Akitsu, and Mizushima.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
[pointing Mizushima and Noda]
"The Kid" and "Doc".
Kenji "Doc" Noda
Not fond of that nickname.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
And I'm not a kid.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
You're still green, so 'Kid' it is.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
I know, I know. I wasn't in the war.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
You didn't (see any combat)? That makes Shikishima and me equals.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
You can't fly a plane.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
If I'd gone to war, I would've learned. If only it had lasted longer.
Kōichi Shikishima
[Shikishima grabs the front of the Kid's shirt and looks him straight in the eye.]
You better not mean that.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[suddenly contrite]
No, sorry.
Akiko
Daddy
Kōichi Shikishima
Akiko
Akiko
What?
Kōichi Shikishima
I told you. I'm not your father.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
Shikishima. Don't say that.
Kenji "Doc" Noda
That's truly harmful.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
[putting a hand on Shikishima's shoulder]
Fate has brought you together as a family. Accept it. Embrace it.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[cheerfully]
Make them happy!
Kōichi Shikishima
Enough! I don't want that.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
Why not? [The question is left hanging.]
Captain Yōji Akitsu
You should have married her before. You knew how she felt.
Kōichi Shikishima
Don't you think I wanted that?
Captain Yōji Akitsu
Then why didn't you?
Kōichi Shikishima
Because... my war isn't over yet.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
What's wrong? Brighten up, Mastermind. It's bad for morale.
Kenji "Doc" Noda
I know it's my plan. But I'm feeling we'll need a miracle to make it work.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
Doing nothing won't cause a miracle, either.
Kenji "Doc" Noda
You're right.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
Take a look at these guys' faces. They're not stupid. They know they're risking their lives. And yet... their faces are beaming. They're happy. This time, they'll make a difference.
Kenji "Doc" Noda
Make a difference.
Captain Yōji Akitsu
We all came through war. This time, we're making it right.
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[Captain Akitsu has told the Kid he is not going on the mission. He and Noda walk away as the Kid stands there alone.] [calling back to them]
I want to defend my country, too. Take me with you! [shouting] We've been a team for a long time! I'm begging you! Take me with you! I want to go with you!
Captain Yōji Akitsu
[softly]
We leave you to the future.
