Neptune: Ughhhhhhhhhh fine I'll go. Have fun fixing it, I hope I am killed in the woods.
Venus: This is kind of stupid.
Jupiter: It'll be fine. Anyway, you suggested it.
Venus: Yeah but... Wht won't the others just come help?
Jupiter: Because we can do it? I guess?
Venus: I hate... I hate being treated like this.
Jupiter: Like what?
Venus: Like a scapegoat.
Jupiter: I mean... that's not it.
Venus: But it totally is. If we were in the normal scouts, they'd rush to help us. They act like real teams and take care of each other and get crystodyne diodes and transformation sequences.
Jupiter: We can get them too. We just have to get through this.
Venus: Right, "try hard."
Jupiter: It doesn't hurt to try... I know it's no guarantee...
Venus: Not everyone in the normal scouts tried all that hard, you know.
Jupiter: Most of them did. Harder than I could.
Venus: Do you think everyone in the normal scouts tried harder than you ever have.
Jupiter: Well...
Venus: If that's true, that it's true. But if even one person who didn't try as hard as you got more than you, you have to say it isn't fair.
Jupiter: ...you sure won't budge on this, will you?
Venus: Doesn't it feel unfair?
Jupiter: It's just reality.
Venus: It's reality on purpose. Reality that's someone's fault.
Jupiter: You can still get better at this, if you try, you know? It's not fair, but it's not the end.
Venus: So?
Jupiter: So...
Venus: When someone rigs it from the start, and then says "try your best!" doesn't that make you mad? Doesn't that make you so inconsolably mad you never want to try it at all?
Jupiter: ...You're hard to figure out sometimes, Venus. Sometimes even more than Neptune is.
Venus: Really?
Jupiter: Maybe I just don't get it... If you put in the minimum you'll be fine. Right? That's what I do.
Venus: Does it work?
Jupiter: Yeah. Well, mostly. Well, better than nothing.
Venus: ...I don't know what's wrong with me. But I can't. Not when it comes to this.
Jupiter: What is "this"?
Venus: Whatever they want out of me that's not fixing radios. To be tougher? To grow up. To-what's that?

Jupiter: Hey, what's wrong?
Venus: Can you see that?
Jupiter: See what?
Venus: There. Right there.
Jupiter: I don't-
Venus: It's so bright.
Jupiter: Venus hey, stop.
Venus: It's close, I just want to see-
Jupiter: There's nothing there.
Venus: But...
Jupiter: Venus. I'm telling you, I don't see it.
Venus: ... ...okay.
