Itazura Na Kiss Vol.1, P.99-146
P.99
(Kotoko walks to school with a big, smug smile on her face)
student: [look, it's Aihara-san from F-gumi. she got 100th place in the 
midterms]
student: [really? that's amazing]
student: [I can't believe someone from F-gumi got 100th place]
student: [wow] 
P.100
Kotoko: This is the first time,
student: [ah, it's Aihara. she's so smart.]
Kotoko: that I've been the center of so much positive attention.
Jinko: Kotoko, I heard something amazing! [you know, everybody's talking about 
you these days]
Satomi: They're calling you "the Irie-kun of F-gumi" now!
Kotoko: Hoho, dear me. "The Irie-kun of F-gumi", huh? [I guess I can live with 
that]
Kin: ...... Kotoko's really lapping it up.
classmates: {pamper, extol}
Kin: There seem to be some sort of connection between Kotoko and Irie recently.
Kin: She was even chatting with him when those test scores were posted up.
punk: It's highly suspicious, boss. 
P.101
Kin: How is she able to study so much, when she's staying at that evil house?
punk: I wonder, boss.
Kin: I need to check this out.
punk: Yeah, boss.
(Kotoko and Satomi walk down the street together, after school)
Satomi: Now that we both take the same route it's so much fun to go home, 
Kotoko!
Kotoko: I know! Say Satomi, do you want to go get some ice cream?
Satomi: Ok!
(Kin and his punks spy on them in the ice cream shop)
Kin: Man... girls sure do talk.
punk: They sure do, boss. 
P.102
Kin: I'm going to find out where Kotoko lives today.
Kin: And maybe I can save her from their tyranny.
punk: Yes, boss.
Kin: Geez, when are they going to go home already??
Kin: They've already had Jungle Banana ice cream, then Berry Berry, then 
Strawberry.
punk: [you sure know your ice cream, boss]
(Kotoko and Satomi smile and chat together on the train)
Kin: [ulp urp]
Kin: I-I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
punk: Kin-san, it's cuz you ate 5 cones before.
Kin: She looks so happy on the outside, but I bet she cries all alone when she's 
in that house. My poor Kotoko.
Kin: [urp]
punk: Hey boss, she got off the train.
(Kin and the punks follow her off) 
P.103
punk: This is a really uh-upperclass neighborhood.
punk: Oh, she's going into that house, Kin-san.
(Kotoko presses the button on the speakerphone)
{pin poon}
Kotoko: It's Kotoko.
(Mrs. Irie opens the door)
Mrs. Irie: Oh, Kotoko-chan! Welcome home!
Mrs. Irie: I'm cooking beef stew tonight. Do you like it?
Kotoko: Kyaa, it sounds great!
punk: They seem really happy-go-lucky.
Kin: It can't be, Kotoko is...
punk: K-Kin-san, l-look at this!
(Kinnosuke and the two punks stare at the "Irie" nameplate outside of the house) 

P.104
Kin: I...
Kin: Irie...
Kin: Dahahaha, it's an awful name, but there must be tons of people in Japan 
with that last name!
punk: [yeah, that's true]
(the punk pats Kin on the shoulder)
voice: Get out of the way please.
Kin: Huh?
(Yuuki stands near them, carrying his schoolbag)
Yuuki: Do you have some business at my house?
(Kin and his punks cringe in fear)
punk: K-Kin-san, this brat looks... just like Irie-kun.
Kin: D-don't be stupid. There's no r-resemblence at all.
(Yuuki walks past them into the house)
Kin: I... I feel a little... [urp]
punk: K-Kin-san! 
P.105
(Naoki appears, on his way back from school)
Kin: I-Iri...!
(One of the punks sticks his hand over Kinnosuke's mouth. The three of them hide 
behind a pole as Irie passes.)
Kin: He... he entered that house!
Mrs. Irie: Oh, welcome home Naoki.
Mrs. Irie: But,
Mrs. Irie: since you and Kotoko-chan are going to the same school, I don't see 
why the two of you can't walk home together. 
P.106
Kin: What does it all mean??!
(Kin bends over and tries to stop himself from throwing up)
Kin: [urg]
punk: Ah, Kin-san! Are you okay??
(on the train, the next morning)
announcer: Next stop, Shibuya.
(the train is packed wall-to-wall with people)
Kotoko: Owow.
Kotoko: Arg, I don't think I'll ever get used to the morning rush. 
P.107
(Kotoko glares at the man behind her)
Kotoko: And recently,
Kotoko: the perverts have been getting a lot bolder.
Kotoko: But as usual Irie-kun is over there looking nonplussed, and is 
completely ignoring me.
Kotoko: Damn him.
Kotoko: So this is what it's going to be like everyday, huh?
(in class)
Kotoko: Morning.
Jinko: Ah, you dropped something.
(Jinko picks up the envelope)
Jinko: What's this? A good luck charm?
Kotoko: Oh, I forgot all about that.
Kotoko: Someone gave it to me to help me with the midterms. 
P.108
Jinko: It's a little thin for a good luck charm.
Jinko: [looks really official though]
Kotoko: Ah, that's right. She told me to open it after the test results were 
posted.
Jinko: I bet there's something like Sugawarano Michizane inside.
(Couldn't figure out these lines. Sorry that they don't make much sense.)
Kotoko: I'm not worried.
voice: KOTOKO!
Jinko: [looks like Kin-chan's going making a fuss again]
Kin: Th...there's something I want to ask you.
Jinko: Wh-what's wrong Kin-chan? You look haggard, and a little blue.
Kin: Wh-why are you living in IRIE NAOKI's HOUSE?!?! 
P.109
(there's silence in the classroom)
Jinko: You crack me up, Kin-chan!
Jinko: [ha!] Why don't you take a seat?
classmate: [he must've overheated]
Kotoko: Ah-haha...
classmate: [gyahaha]
Kin: You all can laugh if you want, but I saw it with my own two eyes!
punk: [that's right]
punk: [that's right]
Kotoko: M...maybe you just had a dream, Kin-chan. Why would I be living at 
Irie-kun's house?
(Kin stares at the envelope Kotoko's holding)
Kin: Wh-what's that yer holding, Kotoko?? [urp]
Kotoko: It's just a little good luck charm. 
P.110
Jinko: Is Kin-chan okay?
Kotoko: D-dunno, maybe he's feeling a little sick.
(Kotoko opens the envelope)
Kotoko: Eh? Pictures...?
(Kotoko pulls out the photographs)
(as Jinko and Kin stare over her shoulder, she sees that they're pictures of her 
and Naoki studying together, and one of them asleep with their heads on a table)
Kotoko: [uwaaaa] 
P.111
Jinko: Wh-what is this?? Wh-why do you and Irie look so cozy?!
classmates: [what's happening?]
Kotoko: Uh...
classmate: [something to do with Kotoko again]
Kin: (staring at a photo) [gyaaaa]
(Kotoko's eyes turn into spirals)
Kotoko: W...well, that is--
classmate: [wow]
classmate: [look at this]
classmate: [kyaaa, they're sleeping together]
classmate: [way to go, Kotoko]
Kotoko: To-to put it simply...
Kotoko: (bowing) I... I'm sorry!
Kotoko: I'm living at Irie-kun's house!! 
P.112
Kotoko: It's only because our fathers are old friends...
Kotoko: But Irie-kun made me promise to keep it a secret anyway...
Satomi: [well, I could understand why]
classmate: [think of the rumors that could start]
Jinko: [poor Irie-kun]
Kotoko: [....]
Satomi: Then, are you telling us Irie-kun tutored you for those exams recently?
Kotoko: U...uhuh
Satomi: [wow]
Satomi: [no wonder then] I couldn't understand how you got such a high score.
classmate: I guess Kotoko's 100th place score is all due to Irie-kun's genius. 
[he's so amazing]
Kotoko: H-hey, I had some part in it!
Jinko: Still, when I look at these pictures it looks rather steamy.
Jinko: I guess with the two of you living under the same roof and all, you'll 
soon be...
Kin: Don't be ridiculous!!
Kotoko: Th-that's right! 
P.113
Kotoko: He always ignores me, after all.
Kotoko: I'm pretty sure that he hates me too.
Jinko: P...poor Kotoko.
Kotoko: B-but, I'm sick of kowtowing to that cold-blooded guy!
Kotoko: Anyway everyone, could you all keep this a secret for the time being?
classmates: [ok, ok] [leave it to us]
classmate: [what a surprise, huh?]
Kotoko: G-geez.
Kotoko: When did Mrs. Irie take all of these...? 
P.114
(later, Naoki bursts into the F4 classroom)
Naoki: A-Aihara-san!
classmate: [woah]
classmate: [it's Irie -kun!]
classmate: [kyaa]
(Kotoko almost swallows her chopsticks)
Kotoko: Ag.
Naoki: Come with me!
classmate: [he's asking for Kotoko again!]
Kotoko: Uh, o-ok. 
P.115
Kotoko: [he looks mad] Wh...what is this about?
Naoki: You'll see in a moment.
Kotoko: I-if you do stuff like this, people will talk.
Naoki: It's a little late for that!
student: [it's Irie and Aihara]
student: [ah, look at that]
student: [it's the famous couple]
(a bunch of students are crowding around a bulletin board)
Kotoko: Eh?
Naoki: Take a look at what's posted.
Kotoko: Ah!
student: [it's Aihara]
(a poster has been hung up with a drawing of Kotoko and Naoki sleeping next to 
eachother)
poster: (written) The famous couple have shacked up together. Grade 3, A-gumi, 
Irie Naoki and grade 3, F-gumi, Aihara Kotoko.
Kotoko: Y-yeee!
Kotoko: Wh-what is this??
Naoki: That's what I'd like to know!
Kotoko: Th...those guys. [they said they'd keep it a secret...] 
P.116
Naoki: Since you wrote that love letter, I expected some rumors.
Naoki: But this is unacceptable.
Naoki: Stay away from me from now on. I don't want you hampering my pace 
anymore.
(Kotoko starts to cry)
Kotoko: Jerk... 
P.117
Kotoko: You jerk!
(she runs away in tears)
Kotoko: No matter how many times he teased me, I just told myself that I hated 
him and tried to shrug it off.
Kotoko: I didn't even cry when he wouldn't accept my letter.
Kotoko: No matter what happened I never cried, but now--
Kotoko: I guess
Kotoko: I really do love Irie-kun, after all. 
P.118
(Kotoko, in pajamas, stares at her letter to Naoki in her room)
Kotoko: The first love letter I've ever written.
Kotoko: The love letter that was never read.
Kotoko: Ahh, it's so heartwrenching.
(Kotoko collapses onto the desk)
Kotoko: Even though I know what kind of guy he is, I fell right back in love 
with him.
Kotoko: He's only in the next room,
Kotoko: but he still feels so out of reach.
(someone taps on her door)
{knock knock}
voice: Hey, the bath is available. 
P.119
(Naoki opens Kotoko's door)
Naoki: Hey...
(but Kotoko is fast asleep on her desk)
Naoki: ..........
(he picks up the love letter, and rips off the side of the envelope) 
P.120
(Naoki leans against the wall and reads)
letter: (written) How do you do, Irie-kun. I'm Aihara Kotoko from F-gumi.
letter: I doubt you know who I am, but I know who you are.
Naoki: ......
letter: Ever since I saw how intelligent and cool you were at the enrollment 
assembly, I've admired you for the past two years.
letter: Since I know I have no hope of being in the same class as you, I've put 
my feelings into this letter.
letter: I love you, Irie-kun. 
P.121
(next day, on the train to school)
Kotoko: [owowow...]
(Kotoko is being squished in a crowd of people again)
Kotoko: Yesterday, I fell asleep before I knew it.
Kotoko: [owch]
Kotoko: My back is so stiff from sleeping on the desk, I can hardly move.
(Kotoko's eyes narrow) 
P.122
(she twists around to look in Naoki's direction)
Kotoko: [owow]
Kotoko: I-I had the feeling that someone was staring at me just now...
Kotoko: [Irie-kun's over there]
Kotoko: It must've been my imagination.
punk: A...are you ok, Kin-san?
(Kinnosuke is squished next to a fat middle-aged lady)
Kin: Y-yeah, don't worry about me.
Kin: If I have to keep silent about Kotoko living at Irie's house, I'm at least 
going to guard over her every morning.
punk: But it's so early in the morning.
Kin: Quit whining.
Kin: Why don't you sneak up next to Irie and kick him.
punk: N-no way, I can't do that.
(Kotoko jerks up as something touches her) 
P.123
Kotoko: Th-the pervert's back at it again.
Kotoko: But something seems a little different...
Kotoko: Ah... huh?
Kotoko: There are two hands this time?!
Kotoko: Gyaaah, now there are two of them!!
Kotoko: Owow, it's hurts to much to try to move.
Kotoko: I-I'm stuck!
Kotoko: O-oh noo! S-somebody help!
Kin: Oh? K-Kotoko looks a little funny.
Kin: Ah! A pervert must be harrassing her!
Kin: Not on my watch...! [let's go rescue her!]
voice: Hey!
(the fat lady stares down Kinnosuke)
lady: (pointing at him) You fondled me just now, didn't you??
Kin: Heh? 
P.124
Kin: [get real!] Why would I want to touch you?!
lady: Don't make excuses, when you just touched my breasts!
lady: I'm going to turn you in at the next stop!
Kin: Wh-what are you talking about?! [you old bag!]
lady: Dear me, young men are such perverts.
Kotoko: What a bold woman to confront a pervert like that.
Kotoko: [the guy sounds a little like Kin-chan]
Kin: [I'm innocent!]
Kotoko: I should yell out too... come on... come on...
Kotoko: I just can't bring myself to do it! [s-somebody help me]
(Naoki appears behind the two men standing behind Kotoko)
Naoki: That's enough. 
P.125
Naoki: You two should act your age, and stop behaving in such a pathetic way.
man1: Wh...wha...?
Kotoko: Irie-kun...
man2: What are you accusing me of, kid?
Naoki: I think you two know very well what you've been doing.
man1: H-how dare you talk to me that way!
man1: I'll sue you, you little upstart!
Kotoko: Wh-what did you say?! [the nerve of them!]
Naoki: If you're going to sue me,
Naoki: perhaps you should consult criminal law area 2, chapter 22, point 17...
men: [h-huh?] 
P.126
man1: D-don't try to spout out that nonsense at me!
Kotoko: [hey, he has an IQ of 200!]
man2: Uh...
man2: [pointing at man1] It was all him. I don't know anything about this.
man1: Wh-what?? I saw you touching that girl's butt!
man2: [y-you saw me?]
man1: [that's right!]
Naoki: (to Kotoko) Go toward the door.
Kotoko: Uh... ok.
(everyone else on the train is avoiding touching them)
Naoki: At least we cleared up the area around us.
Kotoko: Uh... yeah.
Kotoko: And... thank you for what you did. 
P.127
Naoki: Why didn't you do something about it yourself?
Kotoko: I... I hurt my back, so I couldn't get away from them.
Naoki: ........
Kotoko: A...anyway, thanks.
Naoki: Don't mention it.
Kotoko: It looks like
Kotoko: Irie-kun has a pretty decent side.
(Kin is being interrogated by a police officer)
officer: [anyway, please give me your full name and the name of your highschool]
Kin: [I'm telling you I didn't do anything!]
Kotoko: Just knowing that makes me really happy. 
P.128
(at the Irie home)
parents: [hahaha] [wahaha]
Yuuki: Mama, it's so noisy down here that I can't study.
Mrs. Irie: Why did you leave all your studying until Sunday, Yuuki? You'll 
become just like your brother.
Yuuki: I want to be like my older brother!.
Mrs. Irie: [what a nightmare that would be]
Mrs. Irie: Tonight uncle Ai-chan is going to make dinner for us.
Mrs. Irie: Uncle Ai-chan is a professional cook, so it should be really 
delicious.
Yuuki: I'm not going to eat it.
Mrs. Irie: [honestly!]
Kotoko: Yuuki-kun, big sister Kotoko is going to help out too.
Yuuki: Then I'm definitely not going to eat it!
Kotoko: [honestly!] 
P.129
(Kotoko's father is all ready in his chef outfit)
father: This is the least I can do, Iri-chan, in return for all you've done for 
me.
Kotoko: [I'll do my best!]
Mr. Irie: Don't be so polite. Besides, you're cooking has always been great. I'm 
really looking forward to it. Aren't you, Naoki?
Naoki: Sure.
Mr. Irie: I bet Kotoko is as good as her fath...
{crash}
Kotoko: Eeek!
Kotoko: [dad, I dropped some sauce into the breading]
father: [wh-what? oh my]
Mr. Irie: ........
Kotoko: Oh no, dad! It looks all muddy!
father: Y-you! You didn't let the oil get hot enough...!
{crash}
Kotoko: [ahhhh, daad help!]
father: [agh, what have you done now??]
Mr. Irie: [....]
(outside the house)
Kin: It should be around here somewhere. 
P.130
Jinko: Kin-chan, why don't you stop snooping around the Irie home already!
Jinko: [what if you get caught??]
Kin: We do want to see the house. But Kin-chan's completely obsessed.
Satomi: [I can't believe we're wasting a whole sunday over this]
Kin: There it is!
(Kin tries to peek over the wall surrounding the house)
Kin: Irie is probably trying to do nasty things to Kotoko! [he better watch it!]
(the completed dinner is set out on the dining table)
father: Everyone eat up.
father: [I-I'm bushed]
Mr. Irie: Woah, this looks great!
Mrs. Irie: Really!
Yuuki: Hey, what's that weird looking dish over there? 
P.131
Kotoko: This is the agedashi tofu that I cooked.
("agedashi tofu" is a really yummy fried tofu dish, mmm...)
Kotoko: I know it doesn't look very good, but I'm sure it's pretty tasty.
Yuuki: I don't want any.
Kotoko: [arg]
Naoki: I'll refrain too.
Mrs. Irie: [r-really, Yuuki, Naoki]
(Kotoko glares at the brothers)
Mr. Irie: W-well, if Kotoko cooked it I'll be glad to try some.
Mr. Irie: {b-bump b-bump}
Mr. Irie: Yuuki, Naoki, you two have to have some after I do.
(Mr. Irie tries a bite of the "agedashi tofu") 
P.132
(there's a pause)
Mr. Irie: Ah... ahhh, that was good. E-everybody, why don't you try some?
Yuuki: Papa, you're crying.
Mr. Irie: Hahaha, only because it was so good.
(Yuuki puts a piece of tofu in his mouth then spits it out)
Yuuki: [bleh!] [wh-what is this??]
father: I-I knew it.
Mr. Irie: Aw come on, it wasn't th-that bad......
father: No no, don't try to spare her feelings.
father: I've known for a long that that she was hopeless at cooking.
father: Sometimes I've wondered if she's really my daughter.
father: What family would ever accept such a girl as a bride?
Kotoko: [I-I want to die...] 
P.133
Mrs. Irie: That's easy!
Mrs. Irie: She can marry into our family!
everyone: [huh??]
father: M...marry into your family?
father: [you don't mean...?]
Mrs. Irie: Of course I mean that Kotoko will marry Naoki.
everyone: [ehhh??]
Mrs. Irie: I've been thinking about this a lot lately. 
P.134
Mrs. Irie: If Kotoko were to get married you'd be left all alone, Aihara-san.
Mrs. Irie: So of course we would have you move in with us too.
Mrs. Irie: We could renovate the house to fit three families, and then we could 
all live together!
Mr. Irie: Hmmm. That's a pretty good idea, I have to agree with you
Mr. Irie: You and I could be relatives then, Ai-chan.
father: Yeah. It's a lot better than having Kotoko marry into some stranger's 
home...
Kotoko: D-daad!
Mr. Irie: What do you think, Ai-chan? If we're going to go through with this, we 
should cancel the construction of your new house.
father: Hmm, th-that's a good point. 
P.135
Yuuki: I-I'm against it! Totally against it!
Kotoko: Don't decide this on your own!
Yuuki: I don't want a sister like her!
(Kotoko glares at him)
Yuuki: I'm sure big brother is against it too! This girl is so dumb!
Kotoko: [h-hey!]
Kotoko: [I got 100th place in the last test!]
Yuuki: [only because brother helped you!]
Naoki: That's enough.
Naoki: Don't decide this all based on your own convenience.
Naoki: Our lives aren't toys for you to play with.
Mrs. Irie: B-but--
Mrs. Irie: I was sure that Kotoko-chan would be your type.
Kotoko: [r-really??] 
P.136
Naoki: She's not my type at all.
Kotoko: W-well excuse me, but you're not my type either!
Naoki: Oh really?
Naoki: Then what about that... passionate message?
Naoki: "How do you do, Irie-kun. I'm Aihara Kotoko from F-gumi."
Kotoko: [... eh?]
Naoki: "I doubt you know who I am, but I know who you are."
Kotoko: I-it... couldn't be...?!
Naoki: "Ever since I say how intelligent and cool you were at the enrollment 
assembly, I've admired you for the past two years..."
Kotoko: [kyaaaa] 
P.137
Naoki: "Since I know I have no hope of being in the same class as you, I've put 
my feelings into this letter."
Kotoko: [s-stop it!]
Mrs. Irie: What? What? What is this, Naoki? Don't tell me--
Naoki: "I love you, Irie-kun--"
(Kotoko slaps Naoki)
Naoki: Wh...what do you think you're doing?!
Mrs. Irie: That's enough Naoki. 
P.138
Kotoko: I can't believe you read it!
Naoki: It was written to me, wasn't it??
Kotoko: Well, you didn't have to memorize it at least!
Naoki: It's not my fault that I memorize things after reading them once!
Mrs. Irie: Kotoko-chan, does this mean
Mrs. Irie: that you've had a crush on Naoki for a long time??
fathers: [ehh??]
(Kotoko blushes, and can't reply)
Naoki: Why don't you just come out and say it. [owch] 
P.139
Kotoko: I wrote him... a love... letter.
father: I-is that true, Kotoko?? [you never told me!]
Mrs. Irie: Then, our plan might really work!
voice: Wait just a minute!!
(Kinnosuke presses his face against the glass window of the dining area)
Kin: I've been listening for long enough! I can stand this tyranny no longer!
Jinko: [stop it, Kin-chan]
Mr. Irie: Wh-who are you??
Kotoko: K-Kin-chan!
Kotoko: Wh-why are you here?
Kin: I was worried, since that Irie guy has been meddling with you so much 
lately! 
P.140
(Kin opens up the window from the outside)
Kin: Hello, people of the Irie household! It's nice to meet you all!
Kin: I'm Ikezawa Kinnosuke, a classmate of Kotoko's. But everybody call me 
Kin-chan!
Kin: To tell you the the truth, our relationship extends beyond merely being 
classmates.
Jinko: [don't lie!]
Mrs. Irie: Oh my, you're so popular Kotoko-chan. What shall we do?
Kotoko: [not at all...]
Kin: (to Naoki) I won't have you meddling in Kotoko's life anymore.
Kin: There will be no more talk of marriages between you two, understand 
Irie-kun? 
P.141
Irie: I can't say I understand all that stuff anyway.
Kotoko: Eh?
Kin: Wh...wha...? What do you mean by that??
Naoki: I don't understand people's feelings.
Naoki: Even if you hate someone today, you may love them tomorrow. 
P.142
Kin: What was that??
Kin: I-I knew it! You have a crush on Kotoko, don't you??
Naoki: Yeah right.
Naoki: Still, she likes me a lot more than she likes you, so you might as well 
forget about it.
Kin: Wha...?!
Naoki: ... Seeya, I'm going upstairs.
Naoki: Have fun.
Kin: [th-that bastard!]
Mrs. Irie: I-I've never heard Naoki talk that way before!
Mrs. Irie: [amazing!] 
P.143
Kotoko: I...Irie-kun actually bragged about me liking him.
Mrs. Irie: (to Kin) [and it's all thanks to you, I'm so grateful!]
Kin: [....]
Kotoko: I can't believe he said that...
Kotoko: N...no way!
(at school)
student: [ah, it's Aihara-san]
student: [she's the one I was telling you about]
(Kotoko walks through the halls, looking kinda bummed)
Kotoko: ......?
student: [woah...]
student: [and then Irie-san said...]
student: [wow, what an unlikely match] 
P.144
Kotoko: Wh...what is it this time?
Kotoko: [hm, what have I done now?]
Naoki: Aihara!
Kotoko: Y-yes? [d-deja vu]
Naoki: Come with me!
Kotoko: Wh...what's going on?
student: [ah, they're here]
Naoki: See for yourself.
(Up on the bulletin board is another gossip poster of Kotoko and Naoki. The 
drawing on this one has them facing eachother, smiling with lots of hearts 
around them.)
student: [ahh, it's Irie-kun and Aihara-san]
poster: (written) Yesterday they were promised to eachother. Grade 3, Irie Naoki 
- "Let's get married someday", Aihara Kotoko - "I'm so happy".
Kotoko: ...... [those guys...]
Naoki: What the hell are your friends thinking?! [geez]
