TITLE SCREEN

He stirs some natto beans sleepily. The persocon stares at him, and he chuckles uncomfortably. The persocon looks closely at him, and he blushes.

Note: I think they're natto beans....

PERSOCON: Chii?
HIDEKI[thinking]: Kawaii! She's so kawaii and she'll do anything.... Boy, am I lucky, or what? Video games.... Internet shopping.... Dating sites.... And least but not least.... Porn sites! All right, in order to do all these things, I'll work really hard!
The persocon stirs his bowl of natto with his finger.
HIDEKI: Hey....
The persocon smudges the beans on her face. Hideki blushes.
HIDEKI: Agggh, I've been so excited since this morning!
Shinbo enters.
SHINBO: Motosuwa.
SUMOMO: We'll be inviting ourselves in now.
Hideki points at the persocon in a panic.
HIDEKI: Uh, iee, this isn't...!
SHINBO[amused]: Wowww, Motosuwa-kun.... To bring a girl into your room so soon after moving in! You're doing pretty well, aren't you?
Sumomo dances on his shoulder.
SUMOMO: You're doing pretty well, aren't you? You're doing pretty well, aren't you?
HIDEKI: That's not it!!!!
SHINBO: What's not it?
HIDEKI: Take a closer look! She's a persocon!
SHINBO: Huh? Oh, you're right.
HIDEKI: Right? No matter what she looks like, she's still a persocon.
Shinbo walks over and looks closely at the persocon.
SHINBO: Hehhh, but she's a kawaii persocon, isn't she? So this is the girl you were hiding yesterday.
HIDEKI: Eh?
SHINBO: When I invited you to the baths, I could tell you were hiding something.
HIDEKI[embarrassed]: Uh.... Uh, yeah....
SHINBO: You didn't need to hide it, you know.
HIDEKI: I guess you're right....
SHINBO: Huh? I thought you said you didn't have a persocon.
HIDEKI: Oh, well, that's....
Shinbo pats the persocon's head.
SHINBO: Ehhh? You're really lucky, just finding a persocon like this!
HIDEKI: You think so?
SHINBO: Yeah, and she's really kawaii, too!
HIDEKI: Well, I guess I am pretty lucky. But what can a persocon do?
SHINBO: What exactly do you want to do?
HIDEKI: Ummm, I was thinking about hopping on the Internet and doing stuff.
SHINBO: To get on the net, you have to do this first.
He reaches for the persocon's metal ears.
PERSOCON: Chii?
HIDEKI: "Chii" is all she can say.
SHINBO: Ehhh?
HIDEKI: I think she might be broken.... But I don't really know much about persocons.
SHINBO: Let's use the display.
HIDEKI: "Display"?
Shinbo points to the television.
SHINBO: On the monitor.
HIDEKI: Oh, you mean the television!
Shinbo pulls a cord out of the persocon's ear.
SHINBO: To use the display, you can connect analog RGB cables, and it'll work.
He connects the cord to the television.
SHINBO: If you do this, the default specs, OS version, CPU speed and such are shown on the display.
HIDEKI[thinking]: So that it. I had no idea. But what in the world is Shinbo saying????
The television screen comes on, showing "\:NO DATA
HIDEKI: Oh, there it is! What does "no data" mean?
SHINBO: When it says "no data," it means that the data must have been lost or hasn't been installed yet.
HIDEKI: I see. [thinking] I don't understand at all!
SHINBO: I don't get it.
HIDEKI: Huh?
Shinbo unplugs the cable.
SHINBO: What's going on here? How can it move without an OS?
HIDEKI: Without that "OS" thing, it can't move?
Shinbo feeds the cord back into the persocon's ear.
SHINBO: Yeah. The "OS" is the "operating system." If the software isn't installed, a persocon is just a mannequin.
HIDEKI: Is that so? I guess I'll have to go out and buy the software. It's expensive, isn't it?
SHINBO: Yeah. But what OS version would be best? Hey, can I play around with it for a while?
HIDEKI: "Play around with it"? Where...?
Shinbo lifts up the persocon's shirt.
SHINBO: Here we go....
Hideki gasps.
SHINBO: Where was she manufactured?
He touches her chest.
SHINBO: If she's a PCN, there should be a serial number here.
He lifts up her legs and examines the insides of her ankles.
SHINBO: If I remember correctly....
HIDEKI: D'aggh!
He puts Shinbo in a chokehold.
SHINBO[strained]: What are you doing?!
HIDEKI: That's going too far!
SHINBO: What? I'm just looking for the serial number! Hey, hey, are you all right? Are you sure you can handle this persocon?
HIDEKI: Wh.... What are you saying? It's only a persocon. Of course I'll be all right!
The persocon seems to have discovered her.... Lack of underwear?
PERSOCON: Chii?
Shinbo goes over to Sumomo.
SHINBO: I guess there's no choice. I'll have Sumomo run a check.
He pulls a cord out of Sumomo's head.
SHINBO: I'm going to connect this to her for a bit.
He connects the cord to Hideki's persocon's head and puts Sumomo on her shoulder.
SHINBO: I'll leave it to you, Sumomo.
SUMOMO: Aye!
She holds up a tiny computer screen, and her eyes flash. There is a whirring sound, and Sumomo's eyes go blank. She convulses, then falls over.
SHINBO: Agggh! She's gone! My mobile is...! Sumomo's gone! Sumomo is borken!!!!
He sobs and clutches Sumomo.
HIDEKI: Ohhh....

Hideki walks up to the house and opens the front door.
HIDEKI: I'm sorry for the intrusion-
Four scantily-dressed persocon maids bow. Hideki pinches his nose.
HIDEKI[thinking]: Don't bleed!
A young boy comes down the stairs.
BOY: Getting a bloody nose looking at my persocons, huh? Motosuwa Hideki?
HIDEKI: Yeah. And you are...?
BOY: Kokobunji Minoru. Pleased to meet you.
HIDEKI: Shinbo told me to come here. He said you know a lot about custom persocons. Could he really have meant you?
MINORU:: Thought I'd be older, huh?
HIDEKI: Yeah, a little.
MINORU: Well, don't just stand there. Come on in. [to maids] Please take care of our guests.
HIDEKI[thinking]: Take care of...?
The maids surround him.
MAID 1: If you please.
MAID 4: Please allow me to take your shoes.
Hideki blushes and struggles as they hold him down and take off his shoes.
MINORU: Don't get too excited with my persocons. Well, I guess it's all right, as long as they don't get dirty.
He turns to leave. One maid's breasts push up against Hideki's cheek.
HIDEKI: Wait a second...!
Hideki's persocon imitates the others, and throws herself on Hideki's lap.
HIDEKI: Don't copy them!
Minoru turns around.
HIDEKI: ....Cut it out...!
MINORU: Is this the strange persocon Shinbo-san mentioned?
PERSOCON: Chii?
Minoru looks closely at her.
MINORU: She moves without an OS?

The four maid persocons have been connected to Hideki's persocon. They collapse.
HIDEKI: What's going on? They were only connected for a little while. Will they be all right?
MINORU: Yeah, but it looks like there wasn't enough machine power ro examine her.
He unplugs the cord from the persocon's ear.
HIDEKI: Not enough with four persocons?!
WOMAN: Please allow me to try.
A blue-haired woman in a more respectable maid uniform appears in the doorway.
MINORU: Yuzuki!
HIDEKI: Oh, excuse me. My name is Motosuwa Hideki.
YUZUKI: Hajimemashite, Motosuwa-san. I am Yuzuki.
HIDEKI: Ummm, are you Kokobunji-san's onee-san?
YUZUKI: Iee. I am a persocon designed by Minoru-sama.
HIDEKI: Ehhh?
Yuzuki looks at the four unconscious persocons.
YUZUKI: Minoru-sama, you want to know more about her abilities, right?
Minoru nods reluctantly.
MINORU: Yeah.
Yuzuki pulls a cord out of her discreet ears and walks over to Hideki's persocon. She plugs the cord into her ear and sits down beside her.
YUZUKI: Pleased to meet you.
PERSOCON: Chii?
Yuzuki's eyes flash. There is a high-pitched whirring sound.
HIDEKI: That sound.... Is it coming from her?
PERSOCON: Chii...?
Yuzuki's eyes go blank, and she falls over.
MINORU: That's enough, Yuzuki!!!!
She falls against him and her eyes return to normal.
YUZUKI: My data has crashed!
MINORU: What data?
YUZUKI: Housework and accounting data.
MINORU: So your personality data is unaffected?
YUZUKI: Hai.
Hideki runs over to his persocon.
HIDEKI: Hey, are you all right?
PERSOCON: Chii?
YuZUKI: She's all right. It looks like she wasn't affected. You can rest assured.
HIDEKI: Oh, I'm glad.
PERSOCON: Chii!
HIDEKI: Don't worry me like that. Maybe it's because she never had an OS.
YUZKI: That's wrong.
HIDEKI: Eh?
YUZUKI: To be more accurate, I'm unable to determine whether or not your persocon has an OS.
HIDEKI: You mean you don't know?
YUZUKI: Hai. She seems to be protected somehow.
HIDEKI: Ehhh? [thinking] What kind of protection...?
Yuzuki serves them drinks.
HIDEKI: Are you going to be all right?
YUZUKI: Arigatou gozaimasu, but Minoru-sama has made some adjustments to me.
HIDEKI: But wasn't some of your data damaged?
YUZUKI: We backup my data regularly, so reinstalling should be easy. Besides, the data that was damaged was minor.
HIDEKI: Is that so...?
He looks at Minoru.
MINORU: What is it?
HIDEKI: Uh, iee, nandemonai.
MINORU: Perhaps this girl is a Chobits.
HIDEKI: "Chobits"? What's that?
Minoru draws the words "Chobits" on the table using the condensation from his glass.
MINORU: I suppose you could say.... It's a legendary persocon.
HIDEKI: Legendary?
MINORU: There's a legend going around the Internet about it. Supposedly, "Chobits" is the codename of a series of persocons that was developed.
HIDEKI: But aren't persocons custom-made? Kokobunji-kun, don't you build yours?
MINORU: Please call me Minoru.
HIDEKI: O.... Okay.
MINORU: Chobits are.... Persocons that act of their own free will.
HIDEKI: Eh? Then Yuzuki-san is a Chobits? Earlier she volunteered to take a look at....
MINORU: That's not it. Yuzuki acts exactly as I have programmed her to. Her behavior is based entirely on programs that I install, and on what she decides is most efficient. All of her programming is calculated on that basis. Of course, she contains a program that enables her to learn automatically. But that which appears to be her own will depends on that learning program. If it were to break down or stop working, her entire program would cease to function. However, the Chobits series is different. HIDEKI: Hmmm, amazing!!!! So this girl is one of those special persocons! MINORU: Uh, well, it's just a rumor. Hideki falls over. The persocon copies him. MINORU: Like I said, it's a legend. To have the body of a human but not be human.... While at the same time having free will.... Has always been a dream. HIDEKI: .... Is that so...? *** Doorway *** Hideki puts on his shoes. Yuzuki walks up. PERSOCON: Chii? Yuzuki shakes her head. MINORU: So it's not, after all? YUZUKI: Hai. According to her design, she doesn't appear to have been designed by any major persocon manufacturer. MINORU: That must mean she's a custom model.... I'll look into it a bit more, and ask around about her. I'll post on a persocon BBS and see what comes up. HIDEKI: Arigatou! But what's a BBS? MINORU: Just give me your e-mail address so I can contact you. HIDEKI: Uh, I don't have one. But I'll give you my phone number. He rummages in his pockets. HIDEKI: Let's see, what was it.... MINORU: You can just tell it to Yuzuki. YUZUKI: I will store it. [beeps] Please. HIDEKI: Uh, hai. Ummm, 03-6882852-DF3. Minoru notices that the persocon's eyes are flashing. YUZUKI: Telephone numer has been stored. HIDEKI: That's amazing! MINORU: Motosuwa-san, ask this girl for your phone number. HIDEKI: Eh? Why? MINORU: Do it. HIDEKI: Um, do you know what my phone number is? PERSOCON: 03-6882852-DF3. HIDEKI: Oh, she spoke! It's the first time she's said anything except "chii"! MINORU: Her learning software seems to be working properly. HIDEKI: Really? MINORU: You say you found her in a pile of garbage, right? HIDEKI: Yeah. MINORU: I wonder if she was working before she was thrown away. In any case, the learning program is working fine now. If she can learn to speak, she can probably learn other things. HIDEKI: Really? MINORU: Teach her well, Motosuwa-san. HIDEKI: Me? MINORU: You're her owner now. She seems to be able to learn from you. HIDEKI: So I'm supposed to teach her.... Does that mean I don't have to buy software? MINORU: No, it doesn't. HIDEKI: Ohhh. MINORU: We still don't know what software she's running on. Once she's learned to speak, maybe she'll be able to tell us herself. HIDEKI: You're right! Arigatou! MINORU: Iee. HIDEKI: Thanks for having me. YUZUKI: Please come by again sometime. Hideki turns to leave. MINORU: Motosuwa-san! HIDEKI: Huh? Minoru walks over to him and motions for him to lean over. MINORU, whispering: If she does begin to speak.... There's something you need to remember. No matter how good she is, or how kawaii.... Don't fall in love with her, whatever you do. HIDEKI: Eh? MINORU: You'll only end up in tears. HIDEKI: Th.... That's.... Minoru shuts the door. The persocon pulls on Hideki's sleeve. PERSOCON: Chii? HIDEKI: Well, shall we go home? PERSOCON: Chii! They walk. HIDEKI, thinking: Persocons are just companions.... How could someone fall in love with one? PERSOCON: Chii? HIDEKI, thinking: Damn, but she's so kawaii! [aloud] So.... How should we go about teaching you? PERSOCON: Chii. *** Hallway *** Hibiya holds up a paper bag. HIBIYA: Here you are. I think the size may be wrong, though.... HIDEKI: Iee, arigatou gozaimasu! HIBIYA: I'm sorry if it doesn't fit. HIDEKI: No way! You've been a great help! Right? PERSOCON: Chii? HIBIYA: I'm glad. *** Hideki's Apartment *** Hideki pulls a brown dress out of the bag. HIDEKI: Hehhh? Let's see how it looks on you. PERSOCON: Chii! She starts to take her shirt off. HIDEKI: Eh! Wait just a minute! PERSOCON: Chii? HIDEKI: Don't do things like that all of a sudden, while in public! I'll turn my head. He holds out the dress, and turns around. The persocon takes the dress. She takes off her clothes and puts the dress on. HIDEKI: Done yet? He turns around. HIDEKI: Ohhh! PERSOCON: Chii! Hideki claps. HIDEKI: It siuts you! The persocon claps, too. PERSOCON: Chii. HIDEKI: Very kawaii. Now.... What should I teach you first...? He crosses his arms and thinks. The persocon copies him. HIDEKI: That's it! A name! Both Shinbo and Kokobunji-kun had names for their persocons, right? PERSOCON: Chii! HIDEKI: That's it! First, I'll teach you your own name! PERSOCON: Chii! HIDEKI: "Chii...." PERSOCON: Chii? HIDEKI: It's Chii? PERSOCON: Chii? HIDEKI: All right, it's settled! Your name will be Chii! Got it, Chii? Chii grins and glomps him. CHII: Chii! Hideki falls over and chuckles. He pats her head. HIDEKI: I'll teach you to do something well, somehow. So let's work together, okay, Chii? CHII: Chii! She tackles him happily. Her dress slips up over her thighs. Hideki fixes it. HIDEKI: But first, let's buy you some underwear, okay? CHII: Chii?
