**[00:01] ---**
Come on, wake up.
**[00:04] ---**
It's show time.
**[00:06] ---**
See...
**[00:23] ---**
Huh?
**[00:38] ---**
Where am I?
**[00:44] ---**
I'm Al!
**[00:45] ---**
The short, fat one who's always starving!
**[00:48] ---**
I'm Pull!
**[00:49] ---**
The tall, skinny one who's stuck up!
**[00:51] ---**
We're the two friends!
We're the two friends!
**[00:57] ---**
Where am I?
**[00:58] ---**
Where are you?
**[00:58] ---**
Where are you?
**[01:00] ---**
Ta... Da!
Ta... Da!
**[01:02] ---**
This is the home of smiles!
**[01:02] ---**
This is the home of smiles!
**[01:05] ---**
Welcome to Smile Land!
**[01:05] ---**
Welcome to Smile Land!
**[01:08] ---**
Smile?
**[02:59] ---**
The Girl with a Smile
**[03:13] ---**
This is Smile Land...
**[03:15] ---**
the amusement city dedicated to
**[03:18] ---**
putting a permanent smile
on all our customers' faces.
**[03:21] ---**
Right!
**[03:22] ---**
The entire town is
a fantastic amusement park.
**[03:27] ---**
That's why the folks here are
always laughing and having fun!
**[03:34] ---**
Of course, in order to
keep a smile on their faces,
**[03:38] ---**
they're always coming up with
new animals and characters.
**[03:43] ---**
And the old attractions and cast members
**[03:47] ---**
are gone before you know it.
**[03:50] ---**
And that's why...
**[03:52] ---**
there's this place, the garbage dump!
**[04:08] ---**
That was a close one.
**[04:10] ---**
By the way, what's your name, young lady?
**[04:12] ---**
Why did you come here?
**[04:15] ---**
I'm Pino.
**[04:16] ---**
I was on a trip with Vince and Re-l.
We were riding the Rabbit together.
**[04:20] ---**
Vince?
**[04:22] ---**
Re-l?
**[04:24] ---**
You know them?
**[04:25] ---**
Never heard of them!
You know them?
**[04:27] ---**
We're the two friends!
**[04:27] ---**
We're the two friends!
**[04:34] ---**
I wonder if I've been thrown away too.
**[04:38] ---**
What am I gonna do?
**[04:40] ---**
What to do, what to do...
**[04:42] ---**
Oh, this is a real pickle...
**[04:44] ---**
Right!
**[04:44] ---**
When in trouble, ask for help!
**[04:46] ---**
That's right!
**[04:46] ---**
That's right!
**[04:48] ---**
We just happen to be in trouble too.
**[04:52] ---**
Good timing. Now we're
all in a mess together.
**[04:55] ---**
What are you going to ask for?
**[04:57] ---**
There's only one thing!
**[04:59] ---**
He's the creator of Smile Land...
**[05:03] ---**
we'll ask Will B. Good to help us.
**[05:10] ---**
Stick to the script, will you?
**[05:14] ---**
We don't have time for this.
**[05:17] ---**
What are you, an informant?
**[05:19] ---**
A peeping tom.
**[05:21] ---**
Oh, so you're ignoring me?
**[05:23] ---**
Well, I may just be a bug,
but listen to me!
**[05:25] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:27] ---**
Oh, that's right! I need to talk to you.
**[05:29] ---**
Listen, lady...
**[05:31] ---**
this story won't go anywhere if you
keep hanging out with those guys.
**[05:35] ---**
My goodness, I've been looking
all over for you!
**[05:37] ---**
How the heck did you end up here?
**[05:40] ---**
I'm Rogi the Cricket. Nice to meet you.
**[05:43] ---**
I'm looking for Vince and Re-l.
**[05:46] ---**
That's what I thought!
**[05:48] ---**
You know them?
**[05:49] ---**
Of course!
**[05:51] ---**
Come with me to Will B. Good's place,
you'll find out where they are.
**[05:56] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:58] ---**
But...
**[05:59] ---**
Well, this is how it is...
Let's see...
**[06:02] ---**
Their roles in this show...
**[06:04] ---**
are over.
**[06:09] ---**
Don't worry about the details.
**[06:11] ---**
It's just like a spider's thread.
**[06:15] ---**
Grab on!
**[06:56] ---**
You lost the cards you
wrote your messages on.
**[06:58] ---**
That's OK.
**[07:00] ---**
We realized simply asking for
help won't work.
**[07:03] ---**
So we're taking action.
**[07:05] ---**
Hey now, why are you guys following us?
**[07:08] ---**
We're going to see Will B. Good...
**[07:12] ---**
to find out why we were born.
**[07:15] ---**
He's sure to know since
he's the one who made us.
**[07:19] ---**
This is nonsense.
**[07:20] ---**
You've completely changed what
you said you're doing.
**[07:23] ---**
And now you're ignoring me again.
**[07:25] ---**
We were born, so we must
be here for a reason.
**[07:27] ---**
We have to find out the reason from him.
**[07:30] ---**
A reason...
**[07:33] ---**
At any rate...
**[07:34] ---**
This has nothing to do with you two.
**[07:38] ---**
Now, get out of here!
**[07:40] ---**
We want to go too.
**[07:41] ---**
We want to go.
**[07:43] ---**
Bring Al and Pull along too, please!
**[07:48] ---**
We should have left them there.
**[07:51] ---**
Tell you what.
**[07:55] ---**
They can come along with us...
**[07:58] ---**
but in exchange,
I want you to tell me something.
**[08:00] ---**
What?
**[08:01] ---**
Your friend, Vince, what
kind of person is he?
**[08:05] ---**
He's kind to me, so that's why I love him.
**[08:09] ---**
And Vince loves Re-l, so
that's why I love her.
**[08:15] ---**
I didn't mean that sort of thing.
**[08:17] ---**
I meant his...
**[08:18] ---**
characteristics. Yes, that's it.
**[08:20] ---**
Well, he's always worrying
about things, but...
**[08:25] ---**
Sometimes, all of a sudden,
he shifts and becomes big and strong.
**[08:29] ---**
I knew it.
**[08:31] ---**
And what about his weaknesses?
**[08:36] ---**
Hey!
**[08:37] ---**
Pino!
**[08:38] ---**
Over here.
**[08:39] ---**
Come take a look.
**[08:43] ---**
Damn! We don't have time for this.
**[09:04] ---**
That was scary!
**[09:06] ---**
Surprised you, didn't it?
**[09:07] ---**
It's great to be a customer!
**[09:09] ---**
Looks like fun, doesn't it?
**[09:11] ---**
Wish I could be a customer.
**[09:12] ---**
It sure does!
I wish I could be a customer!
**[09:16] ---**
We're the three friends!
**[09:16] ---**
We're the three friends!
**[09:20] ---**
Oh, never mind all that!
**[09:22] ---**
We need to hurry up and get to
Mr. Good's place!
**[09:26] ---**
Hey, don't go outside!
**[09:36] ---**
It's so exciting!
**[09:37] ---**
It sure is.
**[09:38] ---**
It is indeed!
**[09:40] ---**
These things are all over
the place, aren't there?
**[09:43] ---**
It's to let everyone know
that the end of the world is coming.
**[09:47] ---**
Well, that's got nothing
to do with us, right?
**[09:50] ---**
You idiot!
**[09:51] ---**
"Everyone" includes you and me too!
**[09:55] ---**
It's the end of the world!
**[09:57] ---**
Armageddon is coming soon.
**[09:59] ---**
Are you ignoring me again?!
**[10:01] ---**
I heard Mr. Good's been
locked up in his room
**[10:04] ---**
working on the story for
a really long time.
**[10:06] ---**
But for some reason
he hasn't made any headway.
**[10:09] ---**
Oh, jeez...
**[10:11] ---**
forget about that, will you?
**[10:12] ---**
Let's hurry up and get to Will's place.
**[10:15] ---**
Come on!
**[10:16] ---**
Hello, there.
**[10:18] ---**
Do you all have passes?
**[10:20] ---**
No.
**[10:21] ---**
Um...
**[10:23] ---**
In that case, you can't ride for free.
**[10:27] ---**
I told you.
**[10:30] ---**
Pino!
**[10:31] ---**
Run!
**[10:35] ---**
Catch her!
**[10:36] ---**
Wait up!
**[10:39] ---**
This is fun!
**[10:42] ---**
Stop trying to get away.
**[10:44] ---**
Look at the girl.
**[10:50] ---**
Awesome!
**[10:52] ---**
Her smile...
**[10:53] ---**
it's so natural.
**[10:59] ---**
I've never seen a smile like that.
**[11:07] ---**
Not only that...
**[11:09] ---**
it's not forced or anything.
**[11:12] ---**
Pino...
**[11:12] ---**
Pino...
**[11:14] ---**
The game is over!
**[11:16] ---**
Huh?
**[11:17] ---**
Hey! Oh, no!
**[11:20] ---**
Pino!
**[11:31] ---**
No!
**[11:32] ---**
There's no ad-libbing in my world!
**[11:49] ---**
That was incredible, Pino.
**[11:51] ---**
It looked like fun, Pino.
**[11:55] ---**
It was fun, Pino.
**[11:57] ---**
It reminded me of when my Papa took
me to the shopping mall a long time ago.
**[12:03] ---**
You have a Papa
even though you're a machine?
**[12:06] ---**
But I haven't seen him
for a real long time.
**[12:09] ---**
Poor thing.
**[12:10] ---**
Do you miss your Papa?
**[12:14] ---**
Uh-uh. I'm OK now.
**[12:16] ---**
How come? It's your Papa, right?
**[12:19] ---**
I have some close friends now.
That's why.
**[12:22] ---**
That would be Vince and...
**[12:24] ---**
Re-l, huh?
**[12:26] ---**
I hope you get to see them.
**[12:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:29] ---**
What are you guys going to do
after you see Mr. Good?
**[12:32] ---**
The attraction we lived in is
gone now too...
**[12:37] ---**
Oh, then I want to come back as a customer.
**[12:41] ---**
I was just about to say I wanted
to be a customer too!
**[12:44] ---**
You keep changing what you want to do.
**[12:47] ---**
Not that you're even listening.
**[12:49] ---**
A customer?
**[12:50] ---**
That way...
**[12:52] ---**
we could always be smiling.
**[12:58] ---**
Do you realize the situation you're in?
**[13:07] ---**
Here you go, Sergeant Hound.
**[13:10] ---**
Yes.
**[13:11] ---**
Let's see here.
**[13:13] ---**
Now who's who?
**[13:15] ---**
We'll start with the little guy.
**[13:16] ---**
Rogi, huh?
**[13:17] ---**
A surveillance-type AutoReiv, huh?
**[13:20] ---**
And you two, Al and Pull.
**[13:23] ---**
You're both entertainment-type AutoReivs.
**[13:25] ---**
Says you're members of
the "*Commedia dell'arte*" cast?
**[13:29] ---**
Here.
**[13:30] ---**
What?!
**[13:31] ---**
"*Commedia dell'arte*"
was shut down the other day?
**[13:34] ---**
Then you two should have already
been thrown in the garbage.
**[13:39] ---**
Which brings us to the
biggest problem of all.
**[13:41] ---**
We don't have any record of you.
**[13:44] ---**
Pino!
**[13:45] ---**
You're who?
**[13:46] ---**
Pino is Pino!
**[13:48] ---**
M-My god, she's...
**[13:50] ---**
Sh-She's smiling spontaneously!
**[13:52] ---**
Keep calm, Lieutenant Meow!
**[13:55] ---**
But...!
**[13:57] ---**
It certainly is an awfully
natural smile, isn't it?
**[13:59] ---**
It must be a new function.
**[14:01] ---**
I gained a soul after meeting my
friends Vince and Re-l.
**[14:07] ---**
That's why I smile when I'm happy.
**[14:14] ---**
Oh, smile for me!
**[14:18] ---**
You're dazzling!
**[14:20] ---**
Oh, brother! We don't have time for this!
**[14:27] ---**
Listen, you nitwits!
**[14:29] ---**
Our story won't go anywhere
if we keep adding complications!
**[14:34] ---**
I guess we're gonna skip the twist
and jump straight to the resolution!
**[14:43] ---**
What's this?
**[14:48] ---**
Welcome to my country, Smile Land.
**[14:54] ---**
Will B. Good!
**[14:55] ---**
Our creator!
**[14:57] ---**
Yes, my name is Will B. Good.
**[15:01] ---**
This is the place I built for everyone
**[15:04] ---**
so they could all spend
their lives smiling.
**[15:07] ---**
While it may look easy...
**[15:10] ---**
the truth is, it's an
extremely difficult thing to do.
**[15:13] ---**
Anyone can create a
smile that lasts for a short time.
**[15:17] ---**
The hard part is keeping the smile going.
**[15:23] ---**
And, did you know...
**[15:26] ---**
when people are startled to death...
**[15:29] ---**
or so sad that they
cry until their tears run dry...
**[15:32] ---**
even then they can smile.
**[15:34] ---**
That's why...
**[15:35] ---**
in order to create the perfect smile,
**[15:38] ---**
you must have good control over things.
**[15:41] ---**
And that's why I created Smile Land.
**[15:46] ---**
The perfect smile.
**[15:47] ---**
The smile you create
that must be protected.
**[15:50] ---**
The wonderful smile that
brings happiness to the world.
**[15:53] ---**
I wanted a place where
people could forget about reality.
**[15:55] ---**
A place where they wouldn't feel the least
bit frightened, until it was all over.
**[15:59] ---**
Yes.
**[16:01] ---**
The people in this town enjoy
themselves here
**[16:04] ---**
from the moment they're born
until the day they die.
**[16:08] ---**
And when the end of the world comes,
they won't know a thing.
**[16:11] ---**
They'll be just as happy as ever.
**[16:14] ---**
Isn't that amazing?
**[16:17] ---**
That's amazing!
**[16:18] ---**
Good, good, Pino.
**[16:21] ---**
You wanted to see Vince and Re-l, right?
**[16:24] ---**
You know about that?
**[16:25] ---**
I know about everything...
**[16:28] ---**
because I'm the Creator.
**[16:31] ---**
But first, I was hoping you
might tell me a little something.
**[16:35] ---**
What is Vincent's...
**[16:36] ---**
no, I mean Ergo Proxy's weakness?
**[16:40] ---**
That's strange.
**[16:41] ---**
He said he knew everything.
**[16:44] ---**
Won't you tell me? It'll
be our little secret.
**[16:48] ---**
I don't know.
**[16:50] ---**
Don't you want to see them?
**[16:53] ---**
I do.
**[16:54] ---**
Then tell me.
**[16:57] ---**
I don't really know.
**[16:58] ---**
Then do you know about his
treasure, perhaps?
**[17:05] ---**
Come on, you remember. Very g-good.
**[17:09] ---**
Vince's treasure...
**[17:19] ---**
I don't know!
**[17:26] ---**
Really?
**[17:27] ---**
Really.
**[17:29] ---**
I see.
**[17:30] ---**
That's too bad.
**[17:32] ---**
If only you had Vince's treasure...
**[17:37] ---**
I could grant you
anything you asked for.
**[17:40] ---**
That's a lie.
**[17:43] ---**
Good. Good.
**[17:44] ---**
Well then, look behind you.
**[17:49] ---**
Who are you?
**[17:50] ---**
What are you talking about? It's us!
**[17:53] ---**
Al and Pull.
**[17:54] ---**
He turned us into customers.
**[17:59] ---**
I granted them their wish.
**[18:01] ---**
You see?
**[18:03] ---**
Well then, next I'll grant you
your wish, Pino.
**[18:07] ---**
So, here...
**[18:11] ---**
I created the Smile Paradise.
You can trust me.
**[18:16] ---**
Come on!
**[18:21] ---**
There's something phony about
that smile, isn't there?
**[18:26] ---**
What?
**[18:28] ---**
Compared to Pino's smile which
was so spontaneous.
**[18:31] ---**
It seems... superficial.
**[18:34] ---**
Like it's been painted on.
**[18:36] ---**
It seems kind of shallow.
**[18:38] ---**
It's fake!
**[18:39] ---**
It's not like Pino's smile at all.
**[18:45] ---**
Silence!
**[18:46] ---**
How dare you criticize me...
**[18:48] ---**
when I created you
characters in the first place?
**[18:52] ---**
Don't get smart with me!
**[18:54] ---**
Just do as I say, all right!
**[18:59] ---**
You're always messing things up
with your stupid ad-libbing!
**[19:03] ---**
You want to know the reason why
you were born?
**[19:07] ---**
There is none!
**[19:09] ---**
You're all a bunch of piddling rejects.
**[19:12] ---**
You're completely useless,
you scum of the earth!
**[19:18] ---**
Huh? What's that?
**[19:39] ---**
This is fun!
**[19:45] ---**
Hold on...
**[19:47] ---**
We're out of time.
**[19:51] ---**
Please, Pino, tell Vince and
Re-l not to come here.
**[19:58] ---**
You see, Vincent is about to come here.
**[20:02] ---**
We're both Proxies,
so when the two of us meet...
**[20:04] ---**
Vincent and I will
have to fight each other.
**[20:08] ---**
You will?
**[20:09] ---**
Yes.
**[20:11] ---**
And if we do...
**[20:12] ---**
we won't be able to live in
peace here anymore.
**[20:16] ---**
Everyone will die?
**[20:19] ---**
Yes.
**[20:20] ---**
That's why I interfered with your dream
and tried to find out Vince's weakness.
**[20:26] ---**
But it didn't work.
**[20:29] ---**
This is a dream?
**[20:32] ---**
It is a dream, and not a dream.
**[20:35] ---**
Really?
**[20:37] ---**
You're trying to trick
her again, aren't you?
**[20:39] ---**
No! It's the truth.
**[20:41] ---**
Please believe me.
**[20:43] ---**
Either way, the world will soon be over.
**[20:46] ---**
That's our fate.
**[20:48] ---**
But until then...
**[20:52] ---**
I want to go on living quietly
here with a smile.
**[20:56] ---**
I don't want to fight anymore.
**[20:59] ---**
Pino, please, do it for us too.
**[21:02] ---**
We want to keep on smiling too.
**[21:05] ---**
Because you taught us
to smile spontaneously.
**[21:10] ---**
My friends.
**[21:14] ---**
I can hear the pulse of the awakening.
**[21:18] ---**
It won't be long now...
**[21:32] ---**
Huh?
**[21:48] ---**
They're not here.
**[21:50] ---**
Maybe I handed them over.
**[21:54] ---**
Vince!
**[21:58] ---**
Are you done charging your battery?
**[22:00] ---**
Vince, get down for a moment, OK?
**[22:04] ---**
What is it?
**[22:07] ---**
It's there.
**[22:08] ---**
Are you still half asleep?
**[22:10] ---**
Look! There's a light up ahead.
**[22:14] ---**
Maybe it's a town.
**[22:19] ---**
It'd be great if we could
get some supplies.
**[22:21] ---**
It would be nice just to rest.
**[22:23] ---**
A town? Could it be...?
**[22:38] ---**
No! We can't go there!
**[22:40] ---**
Have you got a short or something?
**[22:41] ---**
No!
**[22:42] ---**
Stop making silly demands.
**[22:44] ---**
I want to save my friends.
**[22:46] ---**
Friends?
**[22:47] ---**
Please!
**[22:48] ---**
If you go there, something bad will happen.
**[22:52] ---**
Pino knows.
**[22:54] ---**
It won't be good.
**[22:56] ---**
Leave it alone.
**[22:58] ---**
Please, Vince? Trust me.
**[23:16] ---**
All right.
**[23:19] ---**
Vince!
**[23:20] ---**
Vincent!
**[23:38] ---**
And so, Smile Land was saved by a girl.
**[23:45] ---**
Thank you, girl with a smile.
**[23:47] ---**
Thank you, Pino!
**[25:30] ---**
A tedious paradise that
brings back memories.
**[25:34] ---**
It's warm and pleasant as we chart our way.
**[25:40] ---**
Goodbye Vincent.
**[25:40] ---**
Sacred Eye of the Void
