Shin Chan and the California Stimps: The Movie
From Bubblegum Wiki
Shin becomes an outcast after taking into account that no one wants him to exist in Kasukabe. In order to clear his act, Shin writes apology letters to the neighborhood about his past disasters based on Shin Chan's Book of Apologies. Josh and Katzie finds Shin by reading the clues in his apology letter. Misadventures awaits as Shin spends the weekend such as encountering 100-foot battered bunny. At the end, the entire Kindergarten throws a surpise Welcome Back party for Shin as he gives a speech to everyone that he'll be writing his Book of Forgiveness.

[edit] Quotes
- Shin: Mom's a cotton-headed ninny-muffin.
- Mitzi: Hiro, Did you hear that?
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Shin, there are 15 students in this class, and you're the only one who has to make terror.
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Those aren't your snacks, Shin.
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: You disgust me and the rest of the kindergarten! How can you act like yourself? You sit on a throne of terror. You're a selfish, hopeless, callous heel of a brat. How'd you like to be expelled, huh? Ha, ha, not kidding.
- Miss Anderson: We don't want to see you again for the rest of our whole life and nobody in the neighborhood want to see you else either!
---
Mitzi: Shin? I'm home!
(Mitzi reads the letter)
Mitzi: Oh my gosh.... No....
---
- "Josh-chan" Mr. Taylor: (Reading Shin's letter) "I am sorry that I ruined everyone's lives and crammed eleven apology letters in the mailboxes. Love, Shin."
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: I believe these letters are clues to where we may find Shin.
---
- Miss Anderson: Josh, Josh.... Up until Shin came along everything around here has been, well, normal. It seems to me that the first thing we have to do is to forget about Shin and move on with our normal lives.
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: That's not the answer, Miss Anderson. No matter how angry we may get, or how disturbed we may be, we're not gonna solve our problems by throwing Shin out of our lives.
- Miss "Dori" Anderson: That's just what he wants us to do. Us to go looking for him in his little scavanger hunt so we can all feel guilty about him!
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: You're not at all worried that Shin might get hurt in the suburbs?
- Miss "Dori" Anderson: Well, if I was you, I'd do nothing about it.
---
- Mitzi: Please bring Shin back safely! [pause] And if it's at all possible, try to be nice to him.
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: I didn't mean to hurt Shin. It's almost like losing a student.
- "Katzie" Miss Katzie: I always knew you'd say that.
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: You don't need to write another apology letter, Shin. It's all forgiven. Now let's go.
---
(at Mr. Taylor's Apartment)
- Shin: What a selfish, hopeless, callous heel of a brat I've been.
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Shin, There are some of the hopeless friends I know back in my country. They're more selfish than Pinnochio. Ha-ha. That was a little gag. Very little.
- "Katzie" Miss Katzie: It's gonna be fine Shin. You're forgiven now.
---
(Shin watches an educational video about Johnny Doughnutseed and sharing)
- Son on the tv: Dad, Did you have to share your doughnuts when you were a kid like me?
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: (talking on the phone) He was in the alley behind the dumpers, Mrs. Nohara.
Mitzi: Really?
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: True. I was just thinking. Can Shin stay with me and Miss Katzie for the rest of the night?
- Mitzi: I'll tell you what. Shin can stay with you and Miss Katzie for the weekend.
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: I can't hear you over the loud TV, did I just hear you say about Shin staying over for the weekend?
- Mitzi: I think he'll be okay from where you're living. Bye!
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Let me think about this for a minute, Mrs. Nohara.....

- Shin: [to his reflection in Katzie's mirror] Please, I don't wanna do my old antics anymore. I don't wanna be my old self! I want Josh-chan and Miss Katzie to decide what's best for me! I SURRENDER TO THEIRWILL!
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Shin, you okay?
- Shin: Look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm a terror of the throne, Josh-chan. Just like out of a story book. I'm a wolf child, Josh-chan. My old life, a worthless callous heel of a brat. You find out 'till the weekend is over!

---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: You crazy idiot! I'm out there riskin' my neck for you, and what were you doin'!? Running far away from your own mistakes!
- Shin: You don't understand! Everybody wants me gone.
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Yeah, and when your friends all worried, they'll call the media! The California Stimps would request a dedication on Masked Fighter Hero and Rockafire's Tribute to you as a tribute!

- Penny: Why did you run away? You didn't have to write me that apology letter! Shin! Do you know what you have done? Can you please wipe my tears away? Answer me!
- Shin: Penny, you don't know what I haven't done good in the past.
---
- Shin: It's the Stay-Stuff Battered Bunny.
---
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: Yeah, your mother hated your father. Then she locked him in the cooler. All because she couldn't stand the truth! [Penny: What's that?] That the 100-foot battered bunny is really your dad, Penny. It's rampaging Kasukabe; we're finished.
---
- Shin: Mrs. Sakurada, do as he says.
- Mrs. Sakurada "Patty-sama": If Mr. Taylor hits the knees with the Bubble Hammer and with me holding you, it just might be enough to get loose from the Battered Bunny.
---
- Mrs. Sakurada "Patty-sama": (hugging Penny's Father who indwells in the Battered Bunny) I know I'm being too hard on you, But you must stop rampaging the whole town! It's time for you to go. I'm sorry.
- Mrs. Sakurada "Patty-sama":(reads letter) "I am sorry that I destroyed your Happiness Bunny and crammed a box of cookies in the mailbox. Your daughter's friend, Shin." (folds letter) Call me "Patty-sama".

(at School)
- Shin: (To Miss Katzie) Morning Miss Katzie. That's a very nice purple dress. It's very purpley.
---
- Mitzi: My Shin. I thought I would never see you again.
---
[Principal Ench shrugs]
- "Josh-Chan" Mr. Taylor: And while we do that here's a little mood music for you from your mom.
- Mitzi: [singing] I don't know how much you need me. While I'm near you, I don't feel blue and when we kiss I know you need me to. I can't believe I found a love that's so pure and true. But it all was bullshit. It was a goddamn joke and when I think of you, Shin,I hope you fucking choke. I hope you're glad with what you've done to me. I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy. You left me here, all alone, tears running constantly. Oh would somebody kill me please? Somebody kill me please. I'm on my knees, forgive me please! Forgive me! I want you back!
---
- Shin: [continuing speech to the school]You see, I have made up my mind I am going to write my Book of Forgiveness. That's right, The Book of Forgiveness. Because you see my friends, the new Shin's got to write what a new Shin's got to write.
