5: Russian...
6: Ah...ahh, Russian...

5)
1: I went to visit you in Ft. Worth, but you had already moved...
2: It took me a lot of work to find out your address here in Dallas.
3: But I'm glad...
4: I finally found it...I'm really relieved...
5: Where is your husband now...?

6)
1: clank
2: Is that your husband?
3: It's so strange.
4: I've been searching for him for so long...
5: yet this is the first time I've seen his face...
6: Even more strange, though...
7: is the fact I don't feel like this is the first time...

7)

8)
1: Lee bought that for me...
2: It's my English textbook...
3: Lee likes that comic...
4: But...
5: He said it's a fake.

9)
1: It's true...
2: this one is a fake.
3: You...
4: remind me of Lee...

10)
1: So...Marina's doing well?
2: Yes...she seemed lonely being all by herself, though...
3: Oh...

11)
1: Do you come here often?
2: Yeah...didn't you say it yourself just a minute ago?
3: In the evening, you can hear music from the streets of New Orleans up here.
4: Instead of listening to it in the city...I prefer listening to it all mixed together like this.
5: The next thing you know, you find yourself cut out from your circle of friends...
6: But you prefer being alone...
7: And then, the next thing you know, you're always alone...

12)
1: Your wife said
2: that we're quite alike.
3: Marina said that?
4: Yeah.
5: Hey.
6: You...can see the bat, can't you?

2: I can too.
3: Who...
4: are you...?

14)
1: I'm Kevin Yamagata.
2: A comic book artist.
3: Comic book...
4: You're...
5: Billy Bat's...
6: Yes.
7: The one who isn't a fake.

1: Ah...
2-4: Ahhh...
5: Billy asked me...
6: Ha...ahhh...ahh...
7: Billy asked me if...
8: What...?

16)

2: pwapaaahh

17)
1-2: clap clap clap
3: He appeared?
4: Yes, sir.

18)
1: We sent Oswald out swimming, and everything went as planned...
2: Then continue things as we planned.
3: Yes, sir.
4: vappah
5: pappah
6: parappahhh
7: Did you say something just now?
8: No...
9: clink
10: I was just thinking it'd be somewhat of a waste to kill him.

19)
1: A comic book artist who can see bats, huh...?
2-3: Hie
4: The bat tells me the stories for my comics.
5: There's this rabbit character who picks up a gun...
6(2b): And the rabbit's name...is Oswald...

20)
1: That rabbit is then swallowed up into a big assassination conspiracy.
2: Does the rabbit...
3: shoot?
4: I don't know.
5: Except...
6: Whether he shoots or not, he becomes a criminal in the end.

21)
1: Then...
2: what should I do?!
3: The bat said
4: that he isn't the one creating the story...
5: That I, the artist, am the one creating it...
6: In the end, I'm the one who makes it into a complete work...
7: Disappear.

22)
1: Disappear from my comic's list of characters.
2: Erase your name from history.

23)
1: No...
2: I don't want to disappear...!!
3: I don't want to!!
4: There's no way I'm gonna just disappear!!
5: Please listen to me, Lee!!
6: I'm going to be a hero!!
7: I...I...I'm gonna be...!!

24)
1: You disappearing...
2: is how you become a hero.
3: Uwaaaahhhhhh!!
side: He thinks he's got something, he knows he can become a hero -- what will happen to the man at the end of his journey to find himself...?!
