Hey, that's what I've been saying from the start!
As I mentioned earlier, from what I recall, that part WAS actually done seriously for the most part in the dub, and even people who really hate the dub renditions of Haru and Elie might feel sorry for them (the crap Sieg Hart puts them through is THAT bad.)
Of course, then (in all versions: manga, original anime, and dub) the mood is kind of killed since right afterwarRAB come the Big Butt Bandits....*shudder* The less said about that, the better...
