[Osaka waits at a crosswalk with other townsfolk]
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
[voiceover] I am Ayumu Kasuga. I just transferred here from Osaka the other day. Tokyo folks do the right thing and stop when the light's red. Osaka folks keep crossin' no matter what, so it can get pretty ugly.
[Time passes; the people move off as Osaka is thinking - she snaps back to reality]
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
Uh?
[voiceover]
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
I better cross too!
[the walk signal turns to don't walk]
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
Shoot! The light changed.
[Osaka is looking around the classroom, turning her head, eyes wandering in a crazy pattern, unfocused]
Kaorin:
Osaka? What are you doing?
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
[still moving her eyes and head about] You know those tiny bubbles inside your eyes you sometimes catch? Yeah, I'm trackin' 'em down as we speak.
Kaorin:
[dumbfounded] ... I see. Goooood luck with that.
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga:
[distantly, carrying on] Uh-huh. Uh, thank you...
[Yomi demonstrates to the stiffly-jointed Osaka how to stretch properly before exercising]
Tomo Takino:
[pinching Yomi's side] Uh-huh. Yomi's crazy flexible 'cause her body's made of almost nothing but fat!
Koyomi Mizuhara:
[shouts] Double chop!
[hits Tomo on the head karate-chop style with both hands, knocking her to the ground]
Yukari Tanizaki:
[explaining why they are betting on their school basketball match] It won't be exciting unless we're betting. Besides, like hell I'm going to be exercising with no incentive or reward in sight.
