No comments for this episode!

- We see the opening; Usagi’s parents can’t go do the curry thing Chibiusa has. After this, a large group of scenes stretching from 3:45 to 6:36 is moved to after we see the Ayakashi Sisters’ scene. As in the last episode, here is a better description:

> Original:
>> Usagi learns of Chibiusa’s curry thing
>> We see Luna talking to Usagi, Chibiusa trying to cook and Usagi offering her help, and then the scene where Usagi goes to Mamoru’s and asks him for help
>> Rubeus shows the Ayakashi Sisters the new Crystal Point

> Dub:
>> Usagi learns of Chibiusa’s curry thing
>> Rubeus shows the Ayakashi Sisters the new Crystal Point
>> We see Luna talking to Usagi, Chibiusa trying to cook and Usagi offering her help, and then the scene where Usagi goes to Mamoru’s and asks him for help

- The above scene modifications might be because of…

- 7:40-9:09 – This GIANT cut. The scene is Ami’s apartment complex. Here’s a giant wall of dialogue:

>> [shot of Ami's apartment]
>> [Ami sets a book down and begins reading from it]
>> Ami: “To make curry powder, you need to mix thirty to forty different spices. Add powdered nutmeg, cumin, cloves, ginger, cinnamon…”
>> Usagi: “Ahhh Ami-chan, you can stop lecturing now!”
>> [Rei holds up a book]
>> Rei: “Here, Usagi! I recommend the “Here! Curry” book!”
>> Usagi: “Hey now…”
>> Makoto: “Usagi-chan, why don’t we start?”
>> [to the kitchen and a cutting board]
>> Makoto: “First peel the carrots, onions, and potatoes, then chop them into small pieces.”
>> [Makoto cuts them very cleanly with great precision]
>> Usagi: “Amazing…”
>> Minako: “Minako wants to do it! Let me try!”
>> [Minako is making a mess of everything]
>> Makoto: “You’re going to cut yourself if you do it like that!”
>> [pan up to Minako’s face]
>> Usagi: “She might just be worse than me…”
>> Minako: “It’s okay as long as you’re having fun…”
>> [Minako stops cutting, Makoto and Usagi become startled]
>> [Minako begins shaking and crying]
>> Minako: “I cut my finger.”
>> [camera tints red, shot of something that looks like a finger]
>> Usagi: “Ahh! Her finger is on the cutting board!”
>> Minako: “AHHHHH! CALL AN AMBULANCE, AN AMBULANCE!”
>> Usagi: “Minako-chan, stay calm!”
>> [Ami, Rei and Luna rush into the room]
>> Ami, Rei and Luna: “What happened?!”
>> [Usagi turns around to talk to them]
>> Usagi: “Ami-chan, an ambulance, an ambulance!”
>> [Makoto bends down]
>> Makoto: “We have to put it back together!”
>> [she holds up what was there]
>> Makoto: “Er, what?…this is the end of a carrot. Are you bleeding?”
>> Minako: “Yes, just a little.”
>> Ami, Rei, Usagi: “That’s all?”
>> Minako: “I’m sorry…”
>> Usagi: “Really, you overreacted too much!”
>> Luna: “You were also making a big deal about it…”
>> [once everyone except Usagi, Makoto and Luna has cleared the room]
>> Usagi: “Now…!”
>> [camera is on Usagi’s face as she brandishes the knife and begins cutting on the cutting board]
>> [shot of Luna at Usagi’s feet]
>> Luna: “Wow, you’re so fast!”
>> Usagi: “It’s what you call talent!”
>> [camera zooms out to show that there’s nothing on the board and Usagi is just hitting the cutting board with the knife]
>> Makoto: “Usagi-chan, are you serious about doing this?”

- At 10:40, a shot of the outside of the supermarket, sign saying “Juban Super” (top) “’93 Big Summer Goods Sale” (right, pink), and “Mysterious New Fruit, Dark Fruit” (left, black)

- At 10:42, the dub adds 16 seconds by showing some footage that’s used a bit later. It has Petz and Calaveras explain what they’re doing (Crystal Point capture, etc). This is right before a dub commercial.

- At 10:49, the dub shows another shot of Petz and Calaveras to avoid showing the same sign that was mentioned at 10:40 above. No seconds are gained or lost.

- In the original, both Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask say the same thing when they first appear: “The supermarket is the people’s fountain of health! The fresh vegetables of the open country and the melt-in-your-mouth good thinly sliced meat are mad!”, leading Sailor Moon to say “Wow! That’s exactly what I said! We think alike after all!” In the dub, both speeches are different.

- At 22:02, the original irises out with a heart, the dub with the typical circle-to-crescent-moon background.

- Of note, the Sailor Says contains scenes from the massive cut where Minako cuts her finger. “We all need to know what to do when there’s an emergency. First of all, don’t panic, your injured friend is counting on you. Quickly alert an adult to get help. If you’re all alone and someone’s in bad trouble, call 911 and let them decide what to do. And for less serious injuries, everyone should have a first aid kit at your home and your doctor’s number by the phone. Talk to your parents or school nurse about your own first aid kit. It’s not a toy, but if you learn how to use it everyone will feel safer. Sailor Moon says!”
