[In a forest setting]
Murakumo: It's you, again and again. What a persistent person you are!
Kusanagi: I won't lose this time!
M: I told you in the episode several times... There is no way that an imperfect soul such as yourself can defeat a perfect one like myself.
K: That's why I'm changing the name of the game. [Whips out mahjong kit] We'll fight by playing mahjong!
M: Those mahjong pieces... Those aren't the ones Take Shobo gave you at the last "poor stakes" are they?
K: Well, if we're talking about "that time," didn't you get a "pussy" book from them?
M: [embarrassed] Don't say that so loudly!
[Cut to shot of squished kitty] "pussy shots"
M: By the way, mahjong is a four player game. There are only two of us.
K: [spastic laughter] Don't worry about it. I've got two more players. Hey, come here!
[The Aragami centipede appears, only to have a rock fall on its head. The aragami spider glides downward on a strand of webbing, but the web breaks.]
M: The two of you are just trying to get attention...
[Cut to four around mahjong table. Shuffling ensues.]
K: The game last night was horrible. I lost most of my money!
M: Did you go to that mahjong parlor?
K: Yes.
M: You fool. Don't you know that parlor will take everything, even the last hair off your butt?
K: Which hair did you say?
[Murakumo is concentrating intently. Kusanagi painstakingly moves a piece. Everyone is tense and sweating, listening.]
K: [successfully moving the piece] I got it. Now, one more. [This time there's a barely audible noise].
M: AH! [points finger accusingly] There was a noise just now!!
K: No there wasn't!
M: Yes, there was! There's no doubt! I heard it with my perfect body's perfect ears!
K: You're such a noisy jerk. [Leans over and puts arm-blades to the centipede Aragami's neck] Hey, did you hear anything?
Aragami: (negative noise)
K: [Does likewise to the spider aragami] How about you?
Aragami: (scared negative noise)
K: See, neither of them heard anything!
M: Boy, you're such a jerk! In that case, I say that this is not mahjong!
K: What? I was taught that this was mahjong.
M: [seriously] They were making fun of you. [pause] Read this magazine about mahjong.
[Murakumo tosses him a magazine] "Mahjong Monthly"
K: [reads] This is mahjong? [Serious music starts] Pops! The game I thought was mahjong... What in the hell was that?! Crap! Where can I express my anger?!
[Kusanagi flies into a rage and begins beating the stuffing out of the Aragami]
M: Me too!
[Murakumo joins in. When the Aragami have been beaten to a pulp, then are both tied up and sent downstream.]
K: Oh, that felt good.
M: As long as we're still feeling good, I'm feeling hungry. I'll buy you lunch.
K: Wow! You did it, daddy-o! [standing dramatically in a sunset] Tomorrow I'll hit a home run! Wow, wow!!
