- (A bucket clacks to the floor)
Goku: Wow, this feels good!
Hakkai: (sighs) Yes it does. It’s been a while since we’ve been able to use hot water, too. Hot springs are good every once and a while.
Gojyo: Well, it’d be even better if there were a couple pretty young women with us.
Hakkai: Now, now, Gojyo. Don’t say that.
Goku: (splashing) Wahahahaha… Whoa, I can swim in here!
Gojyo: He’s energetic…… When you think hot springs, think monkeys*, huh?
Goku: (splashing) Hahaha! Crawl! Hahaha! Backstroke!
Gojyo: Hey, Mr. Owner! Your monkey’s running lose.
Sanzo: Who’s his owner?
Goku: Go! Go!
Gojyo: You, obviously.
Goku: Swim!
Sanzo: I have no recollection of becoming his owner.
Goku: (laughing) Go…!
Gojyo: If you’re not his owner then what are you?
Sanzo: (slowly enunciating) I’m Sannnnzoooooo……
Goku: Go! Go! Go!
Gojyo: Sanzo?
Hakkai: Ah! A bottle of saké… Two, four, six… (sigh) He’s emptied 11 bottles.
Sanzo: (drunk) I’m Sannnnzooooo……
Goku: This is fun! One more lap!
Gojyo: Huh, don’t tell me, is he drunk?
Goku: Backstroke! Faster, faster!
Hakkai: I think so, probably.
Sanzo: (quite drunk) Wonnnnder whyyyyyyy……
Goku: Nah, crawl is better!
Hakkai: (smilingly) W-why indeed… Perhaps because you’ve drunk a lot of liquor?
Gojyo: (laughs) Hey, Sanzo!
Sanzo: Come together, and turn…and, reverse. Watch the third level turn…
Hakkai: He’s completely taken with his desperate desire, isn’t he?
Sanzo: Step, step, step. Safe set completed.
Gojyo: (laughs) What good’ll getting carried away with desires do a monk? What a joke!
- (Hakkai and Gojyo laughed)
Goku: Sanzo, look, look!
Sanzo: Gently…
Goku: Huh? Sanzo, that looks kinda fun!
Gojyo: … I wonder… can he come back to normal?
Sanzo: And, turn… And, reverse…
Hakkai: I don’t know…
Sanzo: Step, step, step.
Gojyo: Hey, Sanzo!
Sanzo: Watch the third level turn. Safe set completed.
Goku: (laughs) I wanna try too!
Hakkai: … It seems that he’s quite far gone…
Gojyo: Sanzo! … Honorable Priest Sanzo!!
Sanzo: Watch the third level turn.
Gojyo: … No good.
Goku: I don’t know what we’re doing, but this is kinda fun!
Hakkai: (laughs) Now, now, Gojyo. At times like these…
Sanzo: And, turn…
Goku: I can’t keep up!
Gojyo: Huh?
Hakkai: Here, (A bottle clinks) have a bottle.
Sanzo: Step, step, step…
Goku: Step, step! (laughs)
Gojyo: Ahh…
Hakkai: Come on. There are three bottles left, after all.
Sanzo: And, turn.
Goku: (laughs)
Gojyo: Well, letting just those two have a good time does get on my nerves.
Hakkai: Yes, yes. We are at a hot spring, after all. Every once in a while, this sort of thing is nice.
Sanzo: Step… step, step.
Goku: Step, step, step.
Gojyo: Really? Every once in a while, huh?
Goku: I got it! And turn!
Hakkai: I’ll lift the ban against smoking in the bath just this once.
Gojyo: All right! So, shall we go?
Sanzo: Watch the third level turn, and come together.
Hakkai: Yes, let’s.
Gojyo: Okay then,
Hakkai & Gojyo: Cheers! (They clink bottles and chug for a moment)
Sanzo: And, reverse.
Goku: I dunno why, but this is kinda fun!
Sanzo: Step.
Gojyo: Oh, what’s this? This is pretty good stuff!
Sanzo: Watch the third level turn.
Goku: (laughing) Watch the third level turn.
Hakkai: Yes it is…
Sanzo: Safe set completed.
Goku: Safe set completed!
Sanzo: And turn.
Goku: And turn!
