  Kazama Yumi : [holds up an X sign]  Boo. Mistake one. A guy who disrespects a woman is always bad news.

  Kazama Yumi : [holds up an X sign]  Boo.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : What the...?

• Makoto Kurumizawa : [looks in a magazine]  Well, in that situation I should, uh...

  Kazama Yumi : [holds up an X sign]  Boo.
