Part One
One: Focker and Hikaru’s Reunion
Scene 1
Hikaru: Sempai! Focker-sempai! Where are you?!
Focker: Is that you, Hikaru? When did you become a fighter pilot?
Focker: Calm down, Hikaru. What happened to that hotshot attitude you had earlier? Say,
Hikaru. Flying in formation like this feels just like the old days, don't it?
Focker: I was always in front, and you'd be puttering around behind me, right?
Hikaru: I told you before, didn’t I? I'm not gonna be in your shadow forever!
Focker: Hikaru!
Scene 2
Hikaru: What the heck is going on here? Um, excuse me! What does this look like to
you?
Hikaru: Yeah, obviously. That's what I thought. I don't believe it! The plane turned into a
damn robot!
Hikaru: Just because I'm a pilot doesn't mean I'm a soldier, you know!
Minmay: Yot-chan!
Hikaru: Er...very.
Truck driver: Hey, buddy! How about gettin' off the road? I'm tryin' to evacuate to the
shelter!
Hiaru: Sure.
Scene 3
Focker: Skull Leader to Gunsight One. Skull Leader to Gunsight One. We've sent the
enemy air forces back where they came from. We are heading back to the ship.
Focker: Well, I haven't seen any action in two years! Anyway, do you know the location
of the VT-102?
Misa: VT-102 made an emergency landing in the city a while ago.
Focker: Skull Leader to all units. You guys head back to the Prometheus. I've gotta make
a quick stop first.
Scene 4
Misa: The remaining enemy forces appear to have been destroyed.
Kim: They're being brought on board. Fortunately, there don't seem to be many dead or
wounded.
Misa: Sir.
Misa: Shammy?
Global: What?!
Global: Now, now, hold on. There's no need to worry. If we made it this far out, we can
just fold again and go back.
Intro
Minmay: Hey, where did we end up?
Scene 1
Minmay: It tastes great! And it feels great!
Minmay: Thank you for being so considerate. You've made me happy. Also, if you could
set up a screen over there, I'd appreciate it.
Minmay: Thanks!
Hikaru: Huh?
Minmay: Really...
Hikaru: Jeez...
Minmay: Maybe I teased him a little too much. Sorry, Hikaru! Hikaru, what is it? Are
you mad? Hikaru! Answer me!
Hikaru: I found my work clothes. You can wear them if you like.
Minmay: I feel so much better! Why don't you take a shower too?
Minmay: Terrific!
Minmay: Hey, are you sure you should eat that all at once?
Hikaru: This ship's only about a kilometer long at most. I think we'll be fine.
Minmay: But look at all the walking we just did, and it didn't get us anywhere!
Scene 2
Minmay: It's been twelve days now. They'll have given us up for dead. Even my aunt and
uncle...
Minmay: We'll make a good dinner for the rats when we die, huh? Just like that tuna did.
Minmay: It's okay. But I just... I wish I could have worn a wedding dress just once before
I died.
Hikaru: Minmay... What do you say we have a wedding ceremony?
Hikaru: I... Are you sure you're okay with someone like me?
Minmay: Say, Hikaru... If we're going to die anyway, let's get it over with and throw
ourselves out into space!
Hikaru: Don't be stupid! You fell from the sky and drifted in space, but you're still alive!
You'll be saved this time too! I promise!
Minmay: Sure, you say that, but... We can't find a single way out of here! You're just
scared to die! Coward!
Hikaru: I guess I am kinda pathetic. I'm just a guy who only knows how to fly planes,
but... But I... You make me... I'm sorry.
Minmay: I didn't mean it like that. I guess I got a little crazy for a second. I... I...
Scene 1
Focker: As of today, you're a real soldier. You'll even be moving from your communal
room in the barracks to a private one.
Focker: However, just because you have your own room doesn't mean you can do any
stupid thing you want. You got that?
Misa: So, Major Focker, is THIS the "fine recruit" you've taken under your wing?
Misa: I'm Misa Hayase. Hikaru Ichijo? Where have I heard that name before...?
Misa (Flashback): "So this is the civilian? That would explain why he didn't know
anything."
Focker (Flashback): "So, even Hikaru thinks she looks like an old lady?"
Focker: Well, she's your superior now so you'd better watch what you say.
Misa: By the way, I don't know what you're into, but it doesn't look good for a man to be
going into those kinds of shops. Now, if you'll excuse me.
Shammy: Pervert!
Scene 2
Britai: Hmm. An abandoned base...
Exsedol: But that would be... Surely you don't mean...! Kamujin Kravshera's group?!
Exsedol: You mustn't! Aren't you aware of his battle record?! During Operation Mona, he
became intoxicated and started a firefight, killing or wounding nearly everyone on board!
What's more, while he killed every last enemy in the Isulis Sector, he destroyed two
friendly divisions in the process! Do you know what they call him now?
Zentradi Soldier: Friendly forces are de-folding! Th... They're too close!
Kamujin: Kamujin Kravshera, 7th Sector Armored Division, reporting for duty, sir.
Scene 3
Minmay: Hikaru! You're late!
Hikaru: Minmay...
Hikaru: That's right. I got promoted. And this right here is Corporal Jenius.
Hikaru: Hello.
Minmay: Hikaru?
Hikaru: Of course I didn't forget! I just... Oh! Yeah, I came here straight from work, and
left it in my room. Later, okay?
Hikaru: Mr. Mayor, could you please stop calling me "Li'l Hikaru?" I'm a team leader
now, you know.
Mayor: Anyway, Minmay, how about a song or somethin'? I hear ya can even put pros to
shame!
Mayor: Li'l Hikaru, if you don't watch out, you're gonna lose her. Y'follow me, Li'l
Hikaru? C'mon, get with it!
Scene 4
Announcer: We will now begin the final round of judging! Who will have the honor of
being crowned Miss Macross?!
Vanessa: Other than Jamis, there really aren't any girls left who make an impression.
Claudia: Hey! That girl from the Nyan-Nyan restaurant is one of the finalists.
Minmay: I thought it was all over for me. It feels like I'm in a dream !
Announcer: Our seven judges have chosen these five beauties as our finalists! And now,
the members of the audience will cast their votes to determine which of these young
ladies will be crowned Miss Macross! You've all chosen wisely, I take it? And so, it's
time for the voting section of our Miss Macross contest !
Female Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please take hold of the switch by your hand.
Announcer: When I give the signal, press the switch! Is everyone ready? Here goes!
Switch on!
Announcer: We have a winner! It's been decided! Miss Macross is...Lynn Minmay!
Hikaru: Minmay...
TV Announcer: MBS, the Macross Broadcast System, celebrates its launch by bringing
you the Miss Macross contest. And Miss Lynn Minmay has been crowned our queen!
Congratulations!
Scene 1
Bodolzaa: How soft. To think that fragile miclones like this dare to defy us. Tell me, why
did you go through the trouble of becoming a miclone?
Misa: (Gasps)
Bodolzaa: If you don't tell me why you became a miclone, I'll kill you.
Conda: "Mothers"?
Exsedol: From a woman? You're saying you were born from a woman?
Kakizaki: How? You don't even know that? A man and a woman make love, and together
they make a baby.
Bodolzaa: And that is how miclones are "born"? You two, show me this "kissing."
Hikaru: Still, you can't just say something like that and...
Bodolzaa: Do it now!
Bodolzaa: Protoculture...!
Hikaru/Misa/Kakizaki: "Protoculture"?
Scene 2
Misa: For over a hundred years, my family has served in the military. Ever since I was in
grade school, all I've wanted to be was a soldier. My head was filled with ideas of duty.
Hikaru: You were top of your class at the academy, weren't you?
Hikaru: You're famous among the pilots. They say, "Lt. Top-of-Her-Class is scarier than
a demon!"
Misa: Oh, my! See, that's why Claudia teases me whenever I even try to talk about men.
"Lt. Hayase, you were at the top of your class! I'm shocked!"
Misa: You're in love with someone back on the Macross, right? Miss Macross!
Hikaru: I was?!
Hikaru: Yeah, I guess. I'd like to think so. But since she became Miss Macross and
decided to be a singer, we haven't really had much time to see each other.
Hikaru: Yeah, I think she's already had her debut by now. She's probably a big idol on the
Macross.
Misa: But that's great, isn't it? Having someone you love makes you want to get back to
the Macross, no matter what. The only boyfriend I have is my duty.
Hikaru: You'll find someone. When we get back, you'll find someone for sure.
Hikaru: I'm not lying. If you acted more like the way you are now, like a lady...
Hikaru: Sorry.
Misa: It's okay. It's just another reason we have to get back to the Macross. Right?
Hikaru: Roger!
Scene 3
Milia: Sneaking spies aboard the enemy ship? A rather passive plan, wouldn't you say?
Lap'Lamiz: These are special orders from his Lordship, Supreme Commander Bodolzaa.
This enemy could be even more dangerous than the Supervision Army.
Hikaru: Jeez...
Misa: Or maybe you don't want to get back to the Macross after all.
Lap'Lamiz: Now then, about getting those spies aboard the enemy ship...
Scene 4
Vanessa: So where are we going?
Konda: "Disco"...?
Conda: It looks like you have to change uniforms depending on where you go.
Scene 5
Loli: Males and females are interacting!
Conda: Impossible! But it looks like we've already passed a lot of them already. Their
uniforms are so mixed-up that I didn't even realize!
Warera: They don't seem any different from how the others wear them. Still, this uniform
doesn't feel quite right. It's so breezy around the legs.
Women: Pervert!
Scene 1
Arcade Worker: Boss, machines 16 and 7 are about to get cleaned out!
Max: Could I try a game against you? It looks like you've just about cleaned out your
machine too.
Max: Beautiful... Bust of about 85 cm. She's the type to keep 'em wrapped up, though.
Milia: I lost. This "game" has been my way of life, but I lost!
Max: Um, Miss? Could I get your name and phone number?
Max: Would you meet me in Happiness Forest Park tomorrow night at 9:00?
Milia: Accepted.
Scene 2
Claudia: Stop moping around.
Misa: Eh?
Claudia: The first time I met Focker, my heart kind of went "twang..." Even at work, my
head was full of him. And no matter what I did, I just couldn't focus. I had it pretty bad.
Misa: You?
Claudia: Enough about that. How'd it go? Did you tell the boy how you feel?
Misa: Boy?
Claudia: Don't worry that he's younger than you. Just come out and say it!
Scene 3
Hikaru: Minmay!
Minmay: You're looking better than I'd imagined. Lying around in bed. I'm jealous! This
isn't a bad room at all.
Minmay: Oh, yeah. Sorry, but I slipped out in-between setups so I couldn't buy you
anything.
Hikaru: Oh, don't worry about that. Anyway, how'd you know I was in the hospital?
Minmay: It wouldn't be so hard if it were just the movie, but there are press interviews,
and I'm called out to all sorts of parties. I feel like there isn't enough of me to go around.
Minmay: That's right. Kaifun's an expert at Chinese martial arts, right? That's why the
director took a liking to him...
Hikaru: Oh.
Part Two
Scene 1
Focker: Hikaru sure is lucky. He's got a real ace on his team.
Claudia: The pineapple salad will be ready in a minute. Why don't you have a drink while
you're waiting?
Hikaru: Dead...?
Scene 2
Kamujin: We'll get in close to the Macross and hit it with ECM. When we do, bring the
fleet down.
Oigur: But, sir! The big ships don't handle so well in an atmosphere!
Kamujin: Don't start. Rumor has it that the miclones hold dear to this planet of theirs. If
we get close enough to the surface, they're as good as ours.
Kamujin: Anyone who's afraid to disobey orders would never make it in the Kamujin
Clan!
Scene 3
Announcement: 2nd Lt. Dream of Valkyrie squadron, the item you ordered has arrived!
Return to base immediately! I repeat: 2nd Lt. Dream of Valkyrie squadron, the item you
ordered has arrived!
Kakizaki: My steak...
Hikaru: Major Focker... I hope you won't mind me taking up your Valkyrie. I'll work hard
enough for the both of us. Sempai...
Scene 1
Misa: It looks like the attack has begun. I wonder if Shammy's okay?
Shammy: No, no! Phalanx Pearl Battery goes to, uh... C-4 block, not B block!
Misa: Lt. Ichijo, say something! Please, say something. Even if it's just to badmouth me.
Hikaru: I never thought I'd hear you admit that YOU get lonely!
Misa: Go ahead.
Misa: When I'm not around, 2nd Lt. Shammy is the one who gives tactical orders.
Hikaru: Well... Not that I think he's the type, but the thing to be most afraid of when
going into battle is overconfidence.
Hikaru: I guess.
Scene 2
Reporter: So, is it true you haven't left his side for over a week, Miss Minmay?
Reporter 2: There are rumors the two of you are going to get married.
Reporter 3: You're good at feigning ignorance! Would you know who I mean if I mention
a certain First Lieutenant?
Hikaru: A friend...
Reporter 2: Anyway, you and Kaifun have been rather close. It's strange that you've never
considered marriage.
Loli: Well, marriage... It's incredible! They do things even more amazing than kissing!
Reporter 2: I don't buy it. Quit hiding the truth and fess up!
Reporter 1: However?
Reporters: What?
Reporters: I thought something was up!/What a scoop!/Look over here! Over here!/A
picture, please!/Look this way!
Scene 3
Max: Excuse me, Lieutenant. I request your advice.
Hikaru: Marriage?! You just barely had your first date with her, right? Jumping straight
into marriage is pretty...
Max: No! We're both certain that we want to get married! Only, it puts her in an awkward
position.
Hikaru: She's an enemy soldier?! Her!? Forget it! No way! You two can't get married!
Hikaru: Your language, your customs and your ways of thinking are all different!
Max: When two hearts come together as one, even the impossible becomes possible!
Hikaru: In theory, maybe! But in real life, love soon gets shattered to pieces, like glass!
Hikaru: Where?
Max: Here.
Max: Yes.
Hikaru: Y… You too. Well, this could be big. Max, you should formally present this to
Captain Global. Yeah... You're marrying an alien. This is great!
Scene 1
Exsedol: Milia! 1st Flight Commander Milia!
Milia: Sir! Even I had no idea that things would turn out like this.
Milia: Sir.
Exsedol: I see the masterminds behind our Protoculture-shock are all here.
Global: Now then, Archivist Exsedol, would you please tell us the reason for this
meeting?
Exsedol: Two vitally important people are not yet present. They are the reason that things
have come to this: the superhuman Shao Pai Long, and the woman who is at the core of
your psychological attacks.
Maistroff: He means that movie! It looks like they thought those were real super powers!
Global: That's quite a misunderstanding! But what about this "psychological attack"? I
don't know of anyone who could be at "the core of a psychological attack." Could you
perhaps be more specific?
Warera: Hey!
Loli: Her?
Exsedol: What I mean is: "Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh! My boyfriend is a pilot"
Hikaru: Minmay!
Exsedol: "Shining, making a rapid descent! Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh! Then BOOM! he
makes a sudden climb…"
Scene 2
Vanessa: Multiple de-fold signatures detected!
Scene 3
Hikaru: Minmay...
Minmay:Hikaru!
Hikaru: I may never see you again, so I'll just say it. I...loved you.
Minmay: Hikaru!
Kaifun: Minmay!
Minmay: Hikaru?
Hikaru: Minmay!
Minmay: I only thought of you as a friend. As a friend, so I... I'm sorry, Hikaru, but I... I
guess I like Kaifun.
Kaifun: It's not your fault. I should have made my feelings clear.
Minmay: But…
Hikaru: It's okay, Minmay. I'm a fighter pilot and you're a big star. It wouldn't have
worked out.
Minmay: But…
Hikaru: It's funny, isn't it? Even on a ship as small as the Macross, we're living in two
totally different worlds.
Hikaru: Probably.
Minmay: "An ocean filled with stardust / Reflects the warm sun back / A little oasis / Our
home, the green Earth / One day we shall…" It's all over! First the Earth, and then us!
Hikaru: It's not over yet. There's something I'd like to ask of you: Could you sing? Sing
for us all?
Minmay: Sing?
Scene 4
Hikaru: So you'll sing? You'll sing for us all?
Misa: Please respond! This is High Command. If anyone is still alive, please respond!
Misa: Yes, but it looks like I'm the only one who survived.
Hikaru: Just you...? Then I'm coming in to get you. Give me your current location.
Scene 5
Misa: Thank you.
Hikaru: Don't mention it. But...I guess I disobeyed orders again, huh?
Misa: That's okay. To tell you the truth, I thought you might come for me again.
Hikaru: Captain…
Hikaru: Yeah…
Misa: Ichijo…
Scene 6
Vanessa: Hey, have you heard?
Shammy: Minmay?
Vanessa: Yeah! They say things aren't going well between her and Kaifun.
Kim: No way.
Vanessa: No, it's true. I heard it from those cleaners, Loli and his friends.
Kim: Couldn't it have been just one time they happened to be fighting?
Vanessa: It doesn't look that way. Apparently, they were saying some pretty nasty things
to each other.
Kim: I knew it! When an entertainer hits hard times, they start trouble like this.
Vanessa: No, that's not it at all! It looks like Minmay's found herself another man.
Scene 1
Minmay: Who could that be?
Hikaru: Major!
Misa: Hello, Ichijo. I came here to say goodbye. I'd planned to quit the military today and
go someplace far away. But I changed my mind when I was picked to take command of
the first ship in the Space Emigration Project.
Hikaru: Space emigration?
Misa: Yes, even if humanity is able to live here indefinitely, the Earth could one day very
well be destroyed by aliens. For the sake of the children yet to be born, to preserve our
culture for others thousands of years in the future, I believe we need to fly out to every
planet in the galaxy. But not to kill: to spread culture among the stars.
Misa: Right. Minmay, I love your songs. I can't create culture the way you can but I
might be able to protect it.
Misa: Now… Right now, I can come right out and say this. Ichijo, I love you. Minmay?
Take good care of your songs. That's all I wanted to say.
Hikaru: M… Major!
Hikaru: Minmay…
Scene 2
Hikaru: You're all right, Minmay!
Minmay: I'm going to go to a city I've never been to before. And when I'm there, I'll try
singing again. I'll never think about giving up singing again.
Minmay: Miss Hayase? I don't know when this might be, but when I'm finally able to
sing my true songs, when that happens...
Misa: She's gone. Didn't you want to try to keep her from leaving?
Hikaru: No, a girl like Minmay can't get tied down to a guy like me.
THE END
