[Winx Club Comparisons by SpiderBraids]
[Episode: Date With Disaster (US: Date With Disaster)]
[Clip: Cooking at Alfea]
[First, the "original" version.]
(We open on a zooming shot of the Alfea campus at night. In the kitchen, the Winx, minus Stella, are peeling potatoes)
Bloom: Ah, I hate doing kitchen duties. I just don't get it.
Musa: What is it that you don't get, Bloom?
B: Why a school for fairies can't use magic to cook dinner??? It doesn't make sense. (she whips off her apron and does some magic levitation) All you've got to do is wave the magic wand, snap your fingers, wiggle your nose a couple times and voila! Everything's ready without any effort.
(Chef guy busts in through the doors)
Chef: However, homecooked meals taste a lot better and are much healtier.
[And now, the American version.]
(We open on a zooming shot of the Alfea campus at night)
Flora: Okiedo girls, 500 potatoes down.
Tecna: So that means, only 500 more to go.
(In the kitchen, the Winx, minus Stella, are peeling potatoes)
Bloom: Y'know what? I'll feel like a dork if this doesn't work.
Musa: Well, where'd you find the formula?
B: It was in Vanity Fairy's new self-improvement guide. So I mean, it should work. (she whips off her apron and does some magic levitation) A thousand potatoes, a bushel of flipweed, a magic backflip, and you're making good decisions all the next day. It said good judgment is guaranteed.
(Maestro busts in through the doors)
Maestro: I thought I heard itty-bitty voices. Whatta you girls doing in my kitchen 'eh?
(Two cents: I never liked the "potion" version of the story. One reason is that we never actually see her drink the potion. I'm pretty sure Lori doesn't like it for other reasons, though...)
[Clip: The kitchen fire]
[First, the "original" version.]
(Smoke creeps into the Winx girls' dorm room while they're discussing Stella's date)
Tecna: AAAH!
Flora: Oh no, the roast! Musa: The roast!
(Cut to hallway corner with fire extinguisher in it as the Winx girls, again minus Stella, round the bend)
M: Hurry up, quick!
(Flora is last to the corner and she grabs the extinguisher)
F: I'll get the extinguisher.
(The kitchen is filled with smoke)
Bloom: Uh oh, what a mess.
Griz: Mess you say? A better word would be disaster, catastrophe, calamity. (she then actually appears out of the smoke) Your unreliability is unforgivable.
M: Oh no, it's Ms. Grizelda!
G: Aerolus... (casts spell to clear up the smoke, leaving a nice clean kitchen)
F: I'm coming girls!!
G: I hope you have a good excuse for all of this.
F: Here I YAAA... (drops extinguisher which discharges into Griz's face)
(The other three are tempted to giggle a bit)
G: Get back to work immediately! Dinner must not be delayed. Do your best, girls!
B: Bread and cheese okay for you guys, hmm?
[And now, the American version.]
(Smoke creeps into the Winx girls' dorm room while they're discussing Stella's date)
Stella: That's stinky...
Tecna: The flipweed...
(Cut to a different hallway, with the Winx girls minus Stella following the smoke. Some girl drops her books in the hallway at the commotion)
Musa: Quick, out of the way! Comin' through! C'mon, hurry up!
Stella: Hello? We're not done!
(Cut to Stella)
Bloom: Good luck tonight Stella!
(Cut to hallway corner with fire extinguisher in it as the Winx girls round the bend)
M: Have a good time!
(Flora is last to the corner and she grabs the extinguisher)
F: We'll need this.
(The kitchen is filled with smoke)
Bloom: Guess the flipweed is well done.
Griz: "Well" and "done" are two words rarely used together whenever you girls are involved. (she then actually appears out of the smoke) I can't wait to hear the explanation for this one.
M: How's it goin' Ms. G?
G: Aerolus... (casts spell to clear up the smoke, leaving a nice clean kitchen) The Maestro tells me you purloined enough potatoes to feed an entire F: Here I've got the... (drops extinguisher which discharges into Griz's face)
(The other three giggle)
G: Since you're having such a good time in the kitchen, you can spend the rest of the night here!Cooking dinner for the entire school!
M: She didn't say that while we're here...
B: We couldn't still finish the potion! Hmm?
[That is the end of this segment in the original...]
[...but in America, THIS is the end of the segment.]
(Cloud Tower)
Icy: You think she got the invitation?
Darcy: I know she did. (cut to "inside"... see two cents afterwards) Knut says she jumped up and down squealing.
I: Actually squealing?
Stormy: I would have gagged on the spot. Love is so lame.
I (as they stop in the hall): Know why this plan rules? 'Cause we get to kill two newts with one footstomp.
Darcy and Stormy: What...?
I: You see... not only is the Ring of Solaria gonna fall right into our hands, but we get to break Stella's precious heart. (close-up) I can't tell you how much I LOVE watching a little pixie get her heart broken.
[Look, can't we at least have SOME surprises?]
(Two cents: Actually, the scene that is supposedly inside CT isn't actually AT CT. The scene is actually when they were plotting to help/ruin Lucy at the beauty pageant. In relation with the original scene, they use the first 15 seconds of it, then jump another 32 seconds and use the next 13 seconds. Dialog-wise from 4K's version, they use the scene up to when Darcy and Stormy say "Who?" before jumping to the part where Icy explains the homework deal.)
(Two more cents: We did not have this scene in the original, thereby making it surprising when Stella turns out to be kidnapped. What's wrong with that?)
[Clip: Bedtime at Alfea]
[First, the "original" version.]
(Alfea at night. Zoom in on the Winx's dorm. Bloom, Kiko and Flora enter their room)
Bloom: Oh... I'm exhausted...... And I'm not even hungry anymore.
(Bloom and Flora hit their sacks)
B: How are you feeling Flora?
(Bloom looks over at Flora, and Flora is fast asleep)
B: Huh. Enough said.
(Kiko tucks Flora in. Cut to Musa, outside of Bloom and Flora's room)
Musa: Anyway, I want to go out too. With or without a date.
(Just then, Bloom comes out)
B: Well, it certainly would be better if someone asked us out.
(Tecna is also there)
Tecna: I've not been programmed for dating.
B: You should try it anyway. It's fun.
T: What's fun about dating??? It is an experience of irrelevant value.
B: You've nothing to lose then.
M: Yeah, why don't you ask Timmy out?
T: Goodnight girls. I'm going to switch myself off now. (goes to her room)
(Bloom and Musa giggle a bit, and then yawn)
(Two cents: See how they're setting up the T/T relationship here?)
[And now, the American version.]
(Alfea at night. Zoom in on the Winx's dorm. We skip the whole part in Bloom and Flora's room, and show Musa outside of the room. Musa starts speaking a bit before she actually appears)
Musa: And what is Riven's problem? Why doesn't he ask me out like Sky did Stella?
Tecna: Whut?
M: I'm just sayin'.
(Bloom comes out at this point)
Bloom: Well, I've taken the potion and it should start working in the morning.
T: Musa (pronounced with an "S" sound than a "Z" sound) wants to go out Riven.
B (referring to the nature walk in Voice of Nature): But he was so megarude last week!
T: Well, I did read that some boys will act rude simply because they are "crushing."
B: Yeah, that could be it.
M: So, you think I should call him?
T: Ask tomorow when her good judgment spell kicks in. (goes to her room)
(We only show Bloom and Musa giggling, skipping the yawning)
[Remember the potion for later. Moving on...]
[Clip: Stella gets mad]
[First, the "original" version.]
(It's a mess in Stella's room. Fake!Stella has just revealed herself from behind the door Bloom had just opened earlier)
Fake!Stella: Hi Bloom. Looking for me are you?
Bloom: HUHHH? Stella, you did all this? But why?
FS: Because I want my ring, Bloom. I searched everywhere for it. WHERE IS IT?! I want to know where you HID IT! (throws chair)
B: Stella, are you sure you're alright?
FS: I'll be fine as soon as I get my ring back. (points at Bloom) You know where it is, DON'T YOU?!
B: Uh. I don't recognize you Stella. Calm down, okay? Let's sit down and talk...
FS: I don't wanna talk! I want my ring YOU THIEF!
B: HEY...
(Fake!Stella throws an orb at Bloom and she jumps out the way)
[And now, the American version.]
(It's a mess in Stella's room. Fake!Stella has just revealed herself from behind the door Bloom had just opened earlier)
Bloom: Huh?
Fake!Stella: Well, welcome to the party Bloom.
B: HUH? Hey, we, we were... worried about you Stella.
FS: Really? How sweet. Now, I'm looking for something and I need your help. What's wrong?
B: Nothing, just chill out...
FS: Bloom, I am NOT in the MOOD! AHH!! (throws chair)
B: Look, if your date didn't go well, I mean, don't take it out...
FS: I wanna know where my magic ring is, BLOOM, (points at Bloom) and you're going to tell me RIGHT NOW!!!
B: I don't HAVE to tell you, I've got it. You gave it to me last night, you said keep an eye on it.
FS: You've got the ring? Well hand it over YOU LITTLE BRAT!
B: Stella wait!
(Fake!Stella throws an orb at Bloom and she jumps out the way)
[Tip for Stella: Just ASK for the ring instead of bullying it from her, okay?]
[Clip: At Red Fountain]
[First, the "original" version.]
(At Red Fountain, the Winx girls are questioning Fake!Sky)
Fake!Sky: I'd love to help you girls, but... I really have no idea what you're talking about. Last night, I worked out till night. Then I collapsed. I didn't see Stella (as Bloom holds up the note) and I never sent her a note like that. (takes note from Bloom) Hey! I didn't write that!
(Riven is walking past)
Riven: You sure didn't. Didn't you girls know that Sky CAN'T WRITE? (has a good laugh)
Bloom (with her sarcasm knob turned to maximum) Very funny Riven. I just can't stop laughing...
R: Bye sweeties! (walks off)
[And now, the American version.]
(At Red Fountain, the Winx girls are questioning Fake!Sky)
Flora: You really have no idea what we're talking about?
Fake!Sky (referring back to Voice of Nature): Not that I wouldn't ask her out, but... ever since that little incident with the troll in the swamp, we haven't been allowed to leave campus, so uh... (as Bloom holds up the note) that makes dating a little difficult. Wait, what's that in your hand?
F: Your invitation.
(Fake!Sky takes note from Bloom)
FS: What does it say?
(Riven is walking past)
Riven: Sky spent so much time on his royal throne he never learned how to read! (has a good laugh)
Bloom: Laugh away Riven, because no one else is going to!
(We don't show Riven saying "Bye sweeties!" and walking off)
[Yeah, it's a good 4K change. So THERE! :P]
(Two cents: Can't wait to see what winxrocks thinks of this change... I bet she'd be amazed. Or she'd be all, "Yeah, well, that one good change doesn't outweigh all the crappy edits they've made" or something.)
[Clip: Ringless!]
[First, the "original" version.]
(At a bridge)
Flora: We've been had. We fell for it like amateurs.
Stella: Well, maybe that's because we ARE amateurs.
Tecna (bitter that Bloom just gave up the fight before it even started): We could have defeated them. It was four against four. (also, see "two more cents" below)
Bloom: A battle could have made things worse. To me, the exchange was the best possible option, bar none.
T: But who are you to decide for ALL OF US? (throws down her fists in a slight fit) YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS!
F:: Tecna, I would have done the same thing.
(short pause as Bloom puts her hands down on the rail)
B: They might have scored a goal, but the game isn't over yet. (fistpumps)
S: What are you talking about?
B: What? You don't have soccer on your planets?
F: What's soccer?
B: Come, I'll show you.
(They start walking off the bridge. Cut to soda can in the middle of a field)
B: It's a game you play with a ball. (indicating can) Let's take this for example. (kicks the can a bit)
T: That's not a ball.
S: It's just an example Tecna.
B: Now. It goes like this! (kicks the can)
[And now, the American version.]
(At a bridge)
Musa: That was a good decision Bloom.
Stella: Yeah, seriously. I wish I'D had some of that potion last night.
Tecna: Then you might have known not to go out on a date?
Bloom (no longer apropos of Tecna's comment): Hey you know what? Last night I almost forgot to mix in the mandrake beet. Who knows what would have happened?
T: No, wait! You're supposed to mix in a mandrake ROOT, not a beet! (throws down her fists on "root")
Flora (talking straight over the original's pause): Wait, she got the potion wrong, you know what this means?
B: I sure do Flora. This totally rules! (fistpumps)
S: Bloom, what are you talking about?
B: I'm a natural good decision maker!
F: You didn't need the potion. (they start walking off the bridge) Just thinking you took it gave you confidence.
(Cut to soda can in the middle of a field)
B: You know girls? The witches may have scored a goal, but they haven't won the game. (kicks the can a bit)
T: What game?
S: It's an expression Tecna!
B: Don't worry. S: Huh?
B: We're gonna get that ring back! (kicks the can)
(Two cents: Another reason I don't like the "potion" change. Things just click better without it. Though I do give credit for working in the "game expression" into the dub as well.)
(Two more cents: I should note that at the cottage, dub Tecna refers to their situation as a 4 on 3 situation instead of a 4 on 4 as in the original. I guess she doesn't count Knut.)
