Episode 9/Screenplay

SCENE 1
[Episode 9 Title Card]

[Setting: ''Deserted Island. Shoreland for D-Class Students.'']

Yōsuke Hirata: First, let’s review what we know. The school gave us two tents for eight, two flashlights, one box of matches, backpacks of amenities for everyone here, sunblock for the women …

Kikyō Kushida: A whole week with only this?

Kanji Ike: A survival test on a deserted island? For real?

[Cutscene. Will be continued in later scene.]

SCENE 2


[Setting: ''Deserted Island. In the Middle of the Forest.'']

Kakeru Ryūen: Proceed as we discussed, then.

Kōhei Katsuragi: Right.

[Kōhei Katsuragi extends his right arm for Kakeru Ryūen to shake it but the latter looks at him.]

Kakeru Ryūen: Get over yourself.

Kakeru Ryūen: I know that ever since the rumor spread that you tried and failed to get into the student council, Sakayanagi’s faction has gained dominance.

Kakeru Ryūen: This is a good opportunity… for both of us.

[Kōhei Katsuragi feels annoyed.]

SCENE 3
[Setting: ''Deserted Island. Shoreland for D-Class Students.'']

Yōsuke Hirata: We’re on our own for food. We have to survive outdoors until noon seven days from now.

Haruki Yamauchi: But remember what the teachers said? We’re still free to swim in the ocean and hold barbecues and stuff.

Yōsuke Hirata: Only if we spend some of the 300 special test S-points we were given. There’s a wide range of things we can buy with points. Food, drinking water, tools for a barbecue…

Haruki Yamauchi: But you’re not gonna use them?

Yōsuke Hirata: Well, any S-points we have left when the test is over will be added to our class points…

Kanji Ike: If we can tough it out for a week, we’ll get 30,000 a month! That’s 30,000 a month!

Kei Karuizawa: What’s that?

Yōsuke Hirata: A list of things we lose points for. Illness and serious injuries. Pollution of the surrounding environment. Absence at morning and evening roll calls. Violence against or stealing from other classes.

Kei Karuizawa: There was a way to get more points, wasn’t there?

Yōsuke Hirata: Each time we secure certain “spots” around the island, we get bonus points.



Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: So the theme of the special exam is “freedom to choose”.

Suzune Horikita: It seems so. If we do this right, we could close the distance to the upper classes. This thing is restrictive…

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: But there’s a penalty for removing the watches without permission. There are hidden sensors and a GPS built into them. So they can send air immediately in an emergency, I guess.

Kei Karuizawa: Hey, Hirata-kun. Don’t you think we should be allowed to spend out points, within reason?

Yōsuke Hirata: Uhmm.

Teruhiko Yukimura: No way! We should refrain for as long as we can.



Kei Karuizawa: That’s gonna be tough, though…

Haruka Hasebe: Yeah.

Maya Satō: I don’t wanna

Satsuki Shinohara: I’ll, like, die!

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji (Monologue): A basic toilet?

Kei Karuizawa: I’d prefer to tough it out, personally… But I don’t think all of the girls will be able to.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: A basic toilet. You use a superabsorbent polymer sheet to solidify waste. Each can be used numerous times. But … it might be hard on the women.

Suzune Horikita: Likely.

Kanji Ike: Come on, we can tough it out with the toilet, at least!

Kei Karuizawa: Excuse me! I’m telling you that some girls might not be able to!

Yōsuke Hirata: A regular toilet is one thing we can buy with points.

Kei Karuizawa: Eh? This is great!

Maya Satō: Yeah, we totally need it!

Satsuki Shinohara: Let’s buy that toilet!

Teruhiko Yukimura: We shouldn’t be able to spend points without a majority vote.

Kanji Ike: A majority vote? Great idea, Yukimura! This is our big chance to score class points! We don’t need a toilet!

Kei Karuizawa: Huh?

Teruhiko Yukimura: Women are too emotional. We can’t just indulge their every whim, Hirata.

Kei Karuizawa: What did you say?

Yōsuke Hirata: Calm down. Let’s not fight.

Kanji Ike: The basic toilet is totally functional!

Maya Satō: Think about how we feel!

Suzune Horikita: This test is sounding much more complicated and difficult than I thought it would be.

SCENE 4
[Setting: ''Deserted Island. In the Middle of the Forest.'']

[All D-Class students except Kanji Ike, Haruki Yamauchi, and Ken Sudō are trekking out of their way from the shoreline to go to their rendezvous point.]

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji (Monologue): Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudō went off on their own to look for a campground and spots.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: You’re not enjoying this?

Suzune Horikita: This isn’t exactly my forte. Both living in this primitive way, and having to be around other people.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: I suppose that’s true.

Suzune Horikita: I guess the things you said to me have come true. That they would test us on things besides academics. That’s what you said to me.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Yeah.

Suzune Horikita: Ike-kun and Sudō-kun volunteered to go searching. That’s something I couldn’t do.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Will you be alright, though?

Suzune Horikita: Why do you ask?

[Kiyotaka Ayanokōji notices that Suzune Horikita seems to feel a little discomfort and might be enduring out a fever.]

Suzune Horikita: If Class A and Class B are focusing on taking the spots, we should do the same.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Aiming for a higher class sure is tough.

Suzune Horikita: Don’t you want it?

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji: Want what?

Suzune Horikita: A guarantee of the job or university you want. I’d assume anyone who came to this school did so to guarantee that privilege.

SCENE 5
[Setting: ''Deserted Island. D-Class' Recon Rendezvous Point.'']

Yōsuke Hirata: A class of over twenty with a single basic toilet they’re not used to using… You really think we can manage that without any problems?

Teruhiko Yukimura: Well … if we can make the best of it …

Yōsuke Hirata: Sharing a single basic toilet is guaranteed to cause issues. I think spending points in moderation is the most efficient way to do this. Reckless self-deprivation will build up stress and uncertainty. It may cause hygiene issues, too. It’ll give the girls peace of mind as they engage with this test, too.

Teruhiko Yukimura: That’s true …

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji (Monologue): He won’t argue against logic like that.

Yōsuke Hirata (Shouting): I think we should start searching for a base camp area, too.

Kei Karuizawa: You think so?

[Yōsuke Hirata faces Kei Karuizawa, who is sitting behind him.]

Yōsuke Hirata: Where we decide to set up may influence how we have to spend our points.

[Yōsuke Hirata turned his body to D-Class and raises his right hand.]

Yōsuke Hirata (Shouting): Is there anyone who’ll go searching with me?

[Suddenly, Yōsuke Hirata heard a noise up from the tree.]

[There, while sitting on the tree branch, Rokusuke Kōenji is raising his hands.]

[Other D-Class students also initially volunteered, such as Soshi Miyamoto.]
