:28:04
You should not criticize the Elders.
:28:07
They called that president
a ``clever tanuki.''
:28:13
Humans are so odd.
:28:14
You make this sound like
someone else's problem, Shoukichi!
:28:18
No, I'm just saying we haven't
studied the humans enough.
:28:21
Shut up!
:28:23
Our only chance is
to fight the humans directly.
:28:25
Don't be so rash, Gonta.
:28:28
I think, instead,
we should tell the humans...
:28:34
...that we were responsible
for Operation Poltergeist.
:28:38
Have you lost your mind, abbot?
:28:40
That's the one law we must not break!
:28:44
That's right. Once they know that we're
responsible, they'll never leave us alone.
:28:50
But I'm so frustrated!
:28:53
To have someone steal our
masterpiece and have to remain silent?!
:28:58
No, no! I just can't!
:29:00
I want to tell them! Shout it out!
:29:03
That WE were responsible!
:29:08
Abbot Tsurugame!
:29:09
How can we convince
the humans that we tanuki did it?
:29:13
We could write or call
the media and tell them.
:29:21
They'll probably think
it's a prank call or letter.
:29:25
Then we'll go on TV and show them
firsthand that we transform.
:29:28
This is ridiculous.
:29:30
They'll think it's a trick
and you'll just be humiliated.
:29:35
Look! This is just wasting time!
:29:37
No one had any good ideas...
:29:39
...and they debated it
over and over until morning.
:29:45
Listen, we're just wasting time.
:29:48
But if we attack like terrorists
and anger them, they'll slaughter us.
:29:54
I'm telling you,
we can do it and not be found out!
:29:58
Then it can't be anything big.
