[00:07] ---
    I've heard lots of stories about you,
[00:09] ---
    so I thought I'd like to meet you.
[00:12] ---
    But I've just had terrible timing--
[00:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[00:17] ---
    Sorry! I'm fine, I'm fine!
[00:24] ---
    Are you okay?
[00:28] ---
    So, um, about White...
[00:32] ---
    Is it okay for me to ask
    what kind of illness she has?
[00:36] ---
    She's been in the hospital for three years...
[00:39] ---
    Ah, I heard that from her, personally!
[00:43] ---
    That much I know, but...
[00:46] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[00:47] ---
    She has a bad heart.
[00:50] ---
    It's settled down right now, though.
[00:53] ---
    Oh...
[00:55] ---
    That was bad! I really shouldn't
    have taken her out of there!
[00:58] ---
    I mean, right? I'm right, aren't I?
    She's sick, after all, right?!
[01:03] ---
    She's a tomboy, as you know,
    and strong-willed, and self-centered...
[01:09] ---
    Must be hard dealing with her, right?
[01:11] ---
    Nah, I wouldn't say that.
[01:14] ---
    I've got a little sister, myself,
    so I'm pretty used to that.
[01:17] ---
    Oh, you have a sister?
[01:20] ---
    Mm-hmm. Her strong-willedness
    is pretty similar.
[01:25] ---
    She teases me by
    calling me a "tortoise knight."
[01:28] ---
    That's totally making fun of me, right?
[01:32] ---
    What's wrong with that? "Knight" just
    proves that she depends on you.
[01:37] ---
    As far as us, my sister has
    always won any fights we got into,
[01:41] ---
    and as you can see,
    I'm such a runt, and a four-eyes,
[01:45] ---
    and I always got teased at school.
[01:48] ---
    And each time, White stood up for me.
[01:51] ---
    It made me feel so pathetic
    I could just die, every time,
[01:55] ---
    but somehow, I survived.
[01:56] ---
    I get that!
[01:57] ---
    Pipe down!
[01:58] ---
    What's your problem?
[02:00] ---
    Don't work yourself up!
[02:07] ---
    Er, I mean...
[02:10] ---
    how can I put this?
[02:12] ---
    I wouldn't worry too
    much about it, you know?
[02:15] ---
    At work, my superior always
    calls me "pipsqueak" or "squinty,"
[02:20] ---
    but I've decided not to let it bother me!
[02:31] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[02:32] ---
    That's what I'll do. Thanks.
[02:37] ---
    By all means, do so.
[02:45] ---
    Eh?!
[02:46] ---
    What did you do, Leo?!
[02:48] ---
    I-It's not me!
[02:50] ---
    Then how did this end up like this?
[02:56] ---
    That's awesome!
[02:56] ---
    Stop pulling weird stuff
    inside my diner, would you?
[02:59] ---
    You're the one who spilled it, Miss Vivian!
[03:02] ---
    Yow!! Hot! Hot! Hot!
[03:03] ---
    Leo! Are you all right?!
[03:05] ---
    Sorry.
[03:07] ---
    PSI (noun)
[03:07] ---
    It runs in the family, but I'm not at all good at it.
[03:08] ---
    Psychic abilities,
    or a person who possesses them.
[03:11] ---
    Supernatural powers that cannot
    be rationally explained by science.
[03:14] ---
    I knew that people such as him existed,
[03:17] ---
    but this was a lot closer than I expected.
[03:24] ---
    I guess if he says so,
[03:26] ---
    it must have been someone else.
[03:32] ---
    Time to meet your maker, Chief!
[03:43] ---
    Hey. Care for a glass, Leonardo?
[03:47] ---
    No...
[03:48] ---
    Upon opening the door,
    I found a twisted noontime evening
[03:52] ---
    How did I get home yesterday?
    My body's the only thing I'm sure of
[03:57] ---
    Good morning; I'll carry on
    with being lost once more
[04:01] ---
    among the unknown sights
    that have become so familiar
[04:15] ---
    After I figured all was lost,
    I've been getting by somehow,
[04:19] ---
    somewhat embarrassed to
    be tough enough to still be alive
[04:24] ---
    I know what I have to do, even if I forget
[04:28] ---
    Otherwise, things become so agonizing
[04:33] ---
    I look up to see someone with big black eyes
[04:38] ---
    It's because I saw you
    that this light came to be
[04:42] ---
    Surrounded by a world
    painted in colors of my choosing,
[04:47] ---
    where do I find meaning in
    the scars I could not choose?
[04:51] ---
    In the heart of a world
    where only I am the hero,
[04:56] ---
    I'm onstage, appearing
    in every scene until the end
[05:00] ---
    What do I do? I can't
    even pretend to be empty
[05:05] ---
    Hello, hi there, here I am
[05:10] ---
    Blood Blockade Battlefront
[05:18] ---
    The next day
[05:21] ---
    Hi, young man.
[05:25] ---
    Hmm? What's wrong?
[05:28] ---
    Oh, just that every day, when I
    open that door, Mr. Zapp goes wild.
[05:33] ---
    Maybe it's just a bit anticlimactic today.
[05:35] ---
    You're right, we haven't
    seen him today, have we?
[05:38] ---
    My vote is that his spirit
    is broken, and he gave up.
[05:41] ---
    I thought it was impressive how he didn't get
    discouraged after that many defeats in a row.
[05:49] ---
    Ah, speak of the devil.
[05:52] ---
    Yes, Mr. Zapp?
[05:54] ---
    Hey...!
[05:56] ---
    Chief! Are you there, Chief?!
[06:01] ---
    I'm about to get killed, here!
[06:04] ---
    Save me, Chief!
[06:14] ---
    Hurry, Leonardo!
[06:16] ---
    Zapp is in trouble!
[06:17] ---
    Ugh...
[06:22] ---
    You think your knight will come?
[06:25] ---
    You dumbass, it's a lead pipe cinch.
[06:29] ---
    All right, you entertainment-starved scum!
    The badassest guest has been invited!
[06:34] ---
    Take a good long hit off all of his charisma!
[06:42] ---
    Oh, Mr. Klaus!
[06:48] ---
    This is who I am. You have my friend.
[06:48] ---
    A business card? It's a secret society.
[06:53] ---
    Pow
[06:53] ---
    Crack
[06:53] ---
    Bam
[06:54] ---
    Waaah!
[06:56] ---
    This way, please.
[06:57] ---
    Thank you.
[06:58] ---
    Face fault!
[07:17] ---
    Where are we?
[07:18] ---
    An underground battle arena.
[07:20] ---
    Generally speaking, they place bets
    and then beat each other.
[07:23] ---
    I see. Most interesting.
[07:27] ---
    Where could Zapp be?
[07:30] ---
    You swear this will clear my debt, right?
[07:36] ---
    That depends on tonight's
    take and your prudence.
[07:41] ---
    Cut your best rug tonight,
[07:44] ---
    as though your life depended on it.
[07:49] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen!
[07:55] ---
    This is Libra!
[07:58] ---
    Klaus V Reinherz!
[08:02] ---
    Welcome, our special guest!
    Welcome to our bareknuckle brawl!
[08:07] ---
    This is e-den!
[08:11] ---
    Forgive me for disturbing you
    while you're working,
[08:13] ---
    but I'm just looking for a friend of mine.
[08:15] ---
    You bet, you bet. There are two rules!
[08:18] ---
    Number one! "No use of weapons!"
[08:21] ---
    Number two! "Fight one-on-one!"
[08:24] ---
    That's how it is. If you do well,
    you'll get to see Zapp.
[08:29] ---
    Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[08:32] ---
    What's the point of getting rough now?
[08:34] ---
    You don't even know where he is.
[08:36] ---
    And he'll have a bullet burrowing
    through his brain long before you do.
[08:42] ---
    Now if you'll forgive us, we have to
    examine who we're dealing with.
[08:45] ---
    The rules are few, but you must obey them.
[08:50] ---
    You mean Libra actually exists?
[08:52] ---
    I've never seen one before.
[08:55] ---
    Seems like I've seen that huma before.
[08:57] ---
    Is he strong?
[08:58] ---
    He's got a damn scary face, doesn't he?
[09:00] ---
    That look in his eye is serious trouble!
[09:03] ---
    Nah, that's normal.
[09:04] ---
    Normal, all right.
[09:05] ---
    Let's get started!
[09:07] ---
    Gregor Maximus!
[09:11] ---
    Okay, okay, place your bets, place your bets!
[09:13] ---
    Hey! You look confused, huh?
    I can't blame you.
[09:18] ---
    But try to focus. Your life's at stake.
[09:21] ---
    I can tell from just a glance.
    You're quite the "player," aren't you?
[09:26] ---
    Fist against fist.
[09:27] ---
    There are still some areas where
    only a fight between two humas will do.
[09:32] ---
    Why don't we show that
    to these creepshow-dwellers?
[09:39] ---
    As you wish.
[09:42] ---
    The mold this is playing into
    seems awfully familiar...
[09:45] ---
    Mr. Zapp!
[09:48] ---
    Ah! 20 zeros on Mister Klaus!
[09:53] ---
    Ready!
[09:54] ---
    Fight!
[10:11] ---
    Don't screw around with these
    huma-on-huma fights! Is this playtime?
[10:16] ---
    You guys can all get crushed by us,
    you small-timer race!
[10:21] ---
    Jugglernose, you bastard.
    This is not gonna be pretty.
[10:25] ---
    Re-issue the bets immediately!
[10:28] ---
    Get a doctor and resuscitation
    team ready! Right now!
[10:31] ---
    What are you so rattled about?
    It'll be fine, Zapp.
[10:36] ---
    He'll be sure to pull his punches.
    He's not gonna kill him.
[10:40] ---
    I don't suppose he would.
    Looking at him, the guy's a pro, after all.
[10:45] ---
    But then, the chief isn't.
[10:56] ---
    He's a rank amateur.
[11:06] ---
    Your boss is not bad!
[11:09] ---
    Aww... All of his joints are
    dislocated in funny directions.
[11:15] ---
    I thought that by starting him
    on a huma, he'd power up by turns.
[11:19] ---
    As precisely as he went
    after only the joints in his shell,
[11:22] ---
    and given how rational he is,
    his punches sure do land solidly!
[11:25] ---
    I like this guy!
[11:27] ---
    Look at all the spectators!
    They're pissing themselves with joy!
[11:33] ---
    Whew! That was exciting!
    And he was our poster boy, too!
[11:39] ---
    I'm terribly sorry I had to do that.
[11:41] ---
    In any case, please show me
    where Zapp is now.
[11:46] ---
    Hey, man, you gotta be kidding!
[11:48] ---
    The main event is just getting started!
[11:50] ---
    Next match! Hurry and
    send out the next challenger!
[11:54] ---
    Not so fast, sir. Your fists have
    captivated the hearts of all the scum here.
[12:00] ---
    No, this isn't getting us anywhere.
[12:03] ---
    It's okay. You just have to fight.
[12:06] ---
    At least until they've had their fill.
[12:09] ---
    But...
[12:09] ---
    Klaus! Klaus!
[12:11] ---
    Klaus! Klaus!
[12:15] ---
    Sorry, young man, but only
    authorized personnel beyond this point.
[12:19] ---
    For that matter,
    you're too young to even be here.
[12:25] ---
    Are you, by any chance,
    here with Mister Klaus?
[12:29] ---
    Yes. Um...
[12:31] ---
    Which means that you know Zapp.
[12:34] ---
    I knew it! He's got his
    hand in this, doesn't he?!
[12:37] ---
    No! Er... uh, oh, right...
[12:41] ---
    Aw, I blew it. Sorry, sorry.
[12:45] ---
    Well, it's a long story,
    but nothing you need to worry about.
[12:49] ---
    Mister Klaus is plenty tough,
    and we have a skilled doctor here, too.
[12:55] ---
    You don't say.
[12:56] ---
    Oh, you're taking this well, huh?
[13:02] ---
    Why would everyone come
    all the way here just to see some blood?
[13:06] ---
    Trouble crops up somewhere
    every day in Hellsalem's Lot,
[13:10] ---
    without having to stage this, too.
[13:15] ---
    You're right about that.
[13:17] ---
    Step one foot outside, and with one
    pull of a trigger, you can inflict a fatal injury;
[13:21] ---
    with one push of a button, you can
    blow up a whole lot of people at once.
[13:26] ---
    The world truly is a cavalcade
    of efficiency in violence.
[13:30] ---
    Still...
[13:32] ---
    whether hacking each other with stone axes,
    cutting each other with swords,
[13:35] ---
    shooting each other with guns,
    cursing each other with magic,
[13:39] ---
    or taking aim at each other with missiles,
[13:42] ---
    for some reason, there's a craving that
    grips us, from which we can't evolve away.
[13:46] ---
    Fighting barehanded, one-on-one.
[13:49] ---
    It transcends species; we're all giant idiots,
    who embrace these two rules.
[13:55] ---
    Yeah,
[13:57] ---
    it's not that they want to see blood;
[13:59] ---
    since before recorded history, men have
    been afflicted with an incurable disease.
[14:06] ---
    The "Mightiest Bareknuckle Brawler" disorder.
[14:19] ---
    A No-Holds-Barred Eden
[14:21] ---
    Is this to your liking, sir?
[14:24] ---
    Enough! I've never seen
    such a gorgeous beast!
[14:36] ---
    Wait, isn't he...
[14:38] ---
    He is, all right!
[14:42] ---
    The chief is getting into the swing of it!
[14:46] ---
    We have a winner!
[14:48] ---
    He beat the reigning champ in one shot!
[14:51] ---
    This is unheard-of!
[14:53] ---
    Awesome! Awesome! I may have
    lost my shirt, but I am glad I was here!
[15:00] ---
    There were some unexpected hiccups,
[15:02] ---
    but this has been a
    pretty good showing, hasn't it?
[15:05] ---
    Well then, I'll be going. Huh?!
[15:14] ---
    O-Owner!
[15:17] ---
    I'm glad you're here, warrior.
[15:21] ---
    First, let me offer my praise and respect
    for the way you've fought tonight.
[15:25] ---
    You had me quivering.
[15:27] ---
    I realized that always using only
    modest ingredients leaves one unsatisfied.
[15:33] ---
    This has been a long time coming.
[15:36] ---
    Tonight, I want to enjoy my fill.
[15:39] ---
    How about you let me, too,
    have a bite of this ultimate dinner?!
[15:47] ---
    No, I...
[15:48] ---
    Don't "No, I..." us! Accept! Accept it!
[15:52] ---
    If the owner is challenging you,
[15:54] ---
    it means that ownership
    of this arena is at stake!
[16:05] ---
    I-It's started! It's started!
[16:16] ---
    He keeps a vigilant defense with his left,
[16:18] ---
    while his right is ever poised to
    strike from the shortest distance.
[16:21] ---
    This is not the way
    an empty-handed man fights.
[16:25] ---
    It's the way of a hoplite,
    armed with shield and spear!
[16:29] ---
    In bare-handed fighting, there's no
    restriction on kicks, holds, or throws.
[16:34] ---
    How can he even be this illogical?
[16:36] ---
    It's so simple, and yet with
    nothing else left up his sleeve,
[16:39] ---
    his discipline is shatterproof.
[16:42] ---
    Very nice. It makes me doubt my own sanity.
[16:46] ---
    I want to lay into you
    head-on that much more!
[16:53] ---
    Oh...
[16:54] ---
    even Ozmaldo the Mauler,
    former undefeated champion of e-den,
[16:59] ---
    just might possibly be up a creek here...
[17:02] ---
    Then, he's going to win
    once again? That's no fun.
[17:06] ---
    No, that won't happen.
[17:08] ---
    The chief is too ham-handed.
[17:10] ---
    He can't fine-tune one punch
    over another when he's focusing.
[17:15] ---
    Still, he's really good at restricting himself,
    once he sets his rules.
[17:22] ---
    The creek I was referring to him being up...
[17:26] ---
    ...is when he switches forms.
[17:28] ---
    His left?
[17:29] ---
    How can that be?!
    Is that the side he favors?!
[17:43] ---
    I-I felt that one!
[17:53] ---
    Huh? I'm reading a vibe here...
[17:57] ---
    Aww, let me just say right now,
    I was only using his corpse.
[18:03] ---
    Also, I wasn't the one who killed him.
[18:10] ---
    Mr. Klaus! That's a--
[18:14] ---
    Blood Breed
[18:16] ---
    I had to do something like this,
[18:18] ---
    or I wouldn't be able
    to have any fun with you.
[18:24] ---
    It's been nice playing with you,
[18:27] ---
    Klaus.
[18:37] ---
    Wow, you saved me, Chief!
[18:40] ---
    Those bad guys saw the way
    you fought, got scared, and ran off!
[18:45] ---
    Thank goodness!
[18:48] ---
    I'm just glad you're safe, Zapp.
[18:48] ---
    What a simp!
[18:50] ---
    What a super-simp!
[18:52] ---
    Eh?!
[18:53] ---
    What? You want some of this?
[18:56] ---
    I am so telling on you!
    You can't keep me from talking!
[19:00] ---
    It's not like that, Leo.
[19:02] ---
    Things might have gotten a little tight there,
[19:04] ---
    but the truth is, there's a reason
    why this all had to happen.
[19:08] ---
    Here it comes.
[19:09] ---
    Just listen!
[19:10] ---
    Look, the chief is roughed up
    head-to-toe right now.
[19:13] ---
    That whole string of
    fights against heavyweights,
[19:15] ---
    plus the Blood Breed,
    have him all worn out.
[19:18] ---
    And whose fault do you suppose that is?
[19:21] ---
    The point is...
[19:24] ---
    ...if I'm gonna take him, it's now or never!
[19:27] ---
    You couldn't be any worse!
[19:28] ---
    I'm going to beat you this time, Chief!
[19:35] ---
    Okay, stob--!
[19:51] ---
    I hate to put you out.
[19:52] ---
    It's on my way, it's on my way.
[19:56] ---
    Halloween's almost here, huh?
[19:58] ---
    Seems kind of funny, doesn't it?
[20:00] ---
    It's like it's been Halloween
    every day for the last three years.
[20:05] ---
    The people here do love to party, and all.
[20:09] ---
    Back where I'm from,
    we don't get any candy,
[20:12] ---
    but people still believe
    that on Halloween night,
[20:15] ---
    this world and the next
    world become joined,
[20:18] ---
    the dead come back, and evil spirits
    and sprites show themselves.
[20:21] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[20:25] ---
    Sounds romantic.
[20:27] ---
    It is an age-old land, after all.
[20:29] ---
    Who cares? I like it.
[20:31] ---
    Come to think of it,
    the first time I met White,
[20:34] ---
    she called herself a "ghost."
[20:37] ---
    Do spiritual jokes like that
    run in your family, too?
[20:44] ---
    No...
[20:50] ---
    Well, I'll see you around.
[20:52] ---
    Mm-hmm. I hate to
    stick you on hospital detail.
[20:56] ---
    It's okay, it's okay.
    You have an early morning, right?
[20:59] ---
    Sorry. If you don't look in on her
    once per day, she gets cranky.
[21:05] ---
    She does say she's
    always bored, doesn't she?
[21:08] ---
    Okay!
[21:08] ---
    Leonardo!
[21:11] ---
    Sometimes my sister says strange things,
    but still, she's a normal, great girl.
[21:18] ---
    Be her friend, okay?
[21:20] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:23] ---
    I'm counting on you, "Tortoise Knight."
[21:26] ---
    Huh? Hey! Now cut that out!
[21:29] ---
    See you!
[21:43] ---
    Tie, go again!
[21:45] ---
    First is rock! Rock! Paper! Scissors!
[21:48] ---
    Hmm?
[21:50] ---
    My, what a welcome visitor. What's up?
[21:54] ---
    Nothing much. Hey, pipe down!
    Take a walk!
[21:58] ---
    I've got next, obviously!
[22:01] ---
    Huh?!
[22:01] ---
    Boo! Boo!
[22:03] ---
    Finally starting, huh?
[22:05] ---
    Nope. Not so, King of Depravity.
[22:09] ---
    Finally ending...
[22:14] ---
    ...my Great Collapse.
[22:24] ---
    She's drooling.
[22:36] ---
    Accustomed to the supernatural
    disaster-like madness,
[22:39] ---
    I mistake my daily life for peace
[22:42] ---
    As this rambling coaster
    jolts me back and forth,
[22:46] ---
    what is it that I mustn't lose sight of?
[22:50] ---
    Swallowed up by the concept
    of egalitarian fundamentalism,
[22:54] ---
    feels like even my soul is so much et cetera
[22:57] ---
    Have to clearly state what
    you love and what you hate
[23:01] ---
    or you're not all that different than a dummy
[23:04] ---
    Ah, crowds of people
    walking the streets at night
[23:08] ---
    some seem to be so happy,
    some seem to be so lonely
[23:12] ---
    The contrast jumps around the music staff
[23:17] ---
    creating the song and rhythm
[23:19] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,
    peanuts and bitter step
[23:23] ---
    So sweet and then so acrid,
    it makes my head spin
[23:26] ---
    Let's head south-southwest
    and keep this party going
[23:30] ---
    to make it a night
    that will astonish the world
[23:34] ---
    I feel fantastic, a chain of reflections
[23:41] ---

[23:56] ---
    I feel fantastic,
    the chain of reflections goes on
[24:00] ---
    From one good time,
    to a problem, to another good time
[24:06] ---
    Hey, come on in!
[24:08] ---
    Looks like you're getting
    pretty used to this place, aren't you?
[24:11] ---
    Although, with this much
    abnormality going on every day,
[24:14] ---
    you can't help but get used to it, huh?
    Still, watch yourself.
[24:17] ---
    Waiting until you're dead to realize
    you're living in a fool's warped paradise
[24:21] ---
    isn't as funny as it sounds.
[24:23] ---
    Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront:
[24:25] ---
    "Z's Longest Day (Part 1)."
[24:25] ---
    "Z's Longest Day (Part 1)"
[24:28] ---
    In case of emergency, please feel free
    to stop by Dianne's Diner!
[24:32] ---
    I'll be here anytime for a heart-to-heart.
