Description
Chibiromano: (Sigh) I can't believe I ended up at dorkface's place after all of that.
Uh—duaaah! Aaaaaaaa!

[Argh!]

Joanna: Sell him to the gypsies at once!

Chibiromano: Uhaah?!

(Chibiromano: Ah..?)
Joanna: Maybe they can find some use for him. We travel halfway across the globe to New World, only to bring riches back to waste on him! Idiota!

Spain: Lo siento! My bad!

Joanna: Did you think fighting Turkey would be this simple affair? We got no moneys! Come here! I'm going to give you an economics lesson you will never forget!
(Chibiromano: Ahh…)

Spain: Uwaaaiiiaiiiaaaiiiaaiiiaaiiii!!! Ai yai yai!!

(Opening)

Spain: But Romano is my special friend!

Joana: SHUT UP!
Spain: AAAAHHHHHHH!!

Chibiromano: Gh…

Spain: Ow! I'm sorry! Please stop! Oof! Ahhh! AHHH!
Joana: SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

(Spain: AHHHH! AH! AAHHHHH! AHHHHHAHHHH!...)
Chibiromano: Wow, all of that pain. And just to protect me. That's-a really stupid.

[That night]

Dog: (howl)

Spain: (Sigh) Another day full of beatings and pointless lectures is over. I'm ready for bedtime.
Uh...? Ah…
Hola. What's up?
Nh… nh. Euh. Wait, let me guess. You want to sleep here with me?

Chibiromano: Mph!

Spain: Hey!! You could at least put a pullup on first! Look kid, I know you can't stand being trapped in this house with me. But if you laid off the buttface routine it might get better!

Chibiromano: I wanted to say… thank you.

Spain: I'm sorry? Pardon? What did you say?

Chibiromano: Nggghhhrrr… you heard me! I said, thanks you damn bastard. Try to keep up, eh? Hmph shhmaamaamaashhhama…

Spain: Wow… that was so nice… mh hm! Yeah, I knew you'd come around eventually. Nobody can resist the charm of España.

Chibiromano: Don't touch me!

Spain: Come on, now. Don't ruin the moment because you never know when it's going to slip away from you forever.

Chibiromano: I said don't touch me!

Spain: I think I could get used to this big brother thing if you were always this nice to me. Eheheheheheheh!
(Chibiromano: Dhrrrrr!)

Curl: (boing)

Chibiromano: DUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! DON'T TOUCH-A MY HAIR!
(Spain: Gaaaack!)

[Time passed, and then it became WWII]

Italy: Hwooah!

Romano: I'm so sorry!!

Italy: Don't do that!

[The two of them are still captives of Britain…]

Romano: Guess what, I got busted, Spain, so make yourself useful. Come get me out of here!
(Italy: Uwawawawawawawawa…)

Spain: Lo siento, I can't!

Romano: Damn you, does the Spanish Civil War ring any bells?! I should have let France tear you to pieces, but oh no I had to come and help you!

Italy: Please calm down! If they hear you they might try to give us their food again!
(Romano: Is this the thanks I get? (?????) I hope an angry wolf bites you in your sleep and shits on your head!)

Spain: Romano! I'm really sorry, but duty calls me. 10,000 paper roses aren't going to get up and make themselves, now are they?

Franco: If you have time to talk, then you have time to make flowers! ¡Ándale!

[Spain's Boss]

Narrator: Civil wars have a tendency to bankrupt countries, and so Spain was broke, which gave it a great excuse to skip W W Deuce. Oh sure, they pretended to support the Axis Powers, while preventing Germany from taking Gibraltar. Which made Germany go like, "Well fine, be that way!" And yes, they did cozy up to the Allies and pretend to do a bunch of spying. But in the end, they really just sat this one out. Of course, that meant they couldn't join the United Nations, but looking at it now, who cares? The UN is like a beauty pageant for ugly people.

[Give us fuel! Give us weapons!]

Spain: (Sigh)

[Around that time, Spain was very poor. First, he was supposed to dispatch troops on Germany's request, however, because his boss demanded something crazy in return, Germany became like, "Well, you don't have to come." So, in the end, all Spain did was send in a few troops and they remained neutral. On top of that, all he did was dispatch a few troops just to set a good example, but he was excluded from the United Nations. Poor Spain…]

(Hatafutte Parade, zooms on Russia)

[One thing led to another, and Austria ended up freeloading at Germany's place]

France: Hey man, how does it feel to be a regular guy! You'll have to stop wearing those ascots! Oh honhonhonhonhonhon!

[Smirk smirk]

Austria: An ascot is always in fashion, mon frère.

France: This is too much fun! I've got to get a picture commemorating the exact moment I watched you crumble! Oooh!

[Smirk smirk]

Austria: Do you not have something better to do with your time?

France: Hon honnnn!

France's thoughts: He's so shiny!

Austria's thoughts: He smells like cheese!

France: Euhhhgh!

[Humph!!]

[They don't get along]

[To be continued]

Children: To be continued!

Translations
• Lo siento: I'm sorry (Spanish)
• Spain's Bedroom: According to the DVD's notes, Spain's bedroom shows "Moorish arches decorated with brightly colored tiles and mosaics featuring intricate geometric shapes." Like mentioned before, southern Iberia was a predominantly Muslim land following the Umayyad conquest from 711-788 AD, creating the al-Andalus (Arab: الأنْدَلُس‎, Spanish: al-Ándalus). At its greatest extent into Europe, it covered almost the entire peninsula, only excluding the Kingdom of Asturias (later León). Islamic art tends to steer clear of depicting humans or animals in its art, instead opting for geometric, calligraphic, and botanical designs. Personally, I'd rather wake up to walls of shapes and flowers than the soulless eyes of cherubs scorning me.
• Spanish Civil War: The Spanish Civil War was an incredibly bloody conflict from 1936-39 between the Republicans (the Spanish government, communists, and the lower classes) and Nationalists (the rebel army and the upper classes). It started as a coup d'état led by Francisco Franco, but the coup failed to take control of the entire country so civil war broke out. The Francoist side was supported by fascist Germany and Italy, and was the side that came out victorious, resulting in a 40-year fascist dictatorship under Franco. France was afraid that it would spark a civil war of his own, and so he and many other nations including Britain pledged non-intervention, but they sneakily sent in planes for the Republican side to use. On the other hand, Italy sent in Nationalist support, including 50,000 men and naval ships that helped break the blockade on Morocco and bombard Republican-controlled cities.
• 10,000 Paper Roses: Paper flowers have been around ever since China invented paper. Historically, they've been used for religious purposes, but in Victorian times women started to use them as a way to stay busy while technically not working. I'm not sure if Spain's making flowers is referring to something specific or if it's just a metaphor for his being too tied up in his own affairs.
• Ándale: Let's go/Hurry up (Spanish)
• Spain in WWII: Despite the fascist support Franco got in the civil war, Spain was too economically devastated to participate, and so decided to remain neutral during WWII to focus on internal problems. However, he gave the Axis powers did provide material support and allowed volunteers to serve on the Eastern Front. At the same time, he deterred a German occupation of the Iberian Peninsula so Germany was kind of like "dude whose side are you on." Spain's response would have probably been, "I'm on my own side." Also, that something crazy that Spain's boss demanded was Cameroon.
• Gibraltar: You know that tiny strip of water between Spain and Morocco? That's the Strait of Gibraltar. Gibraltar itself is a (also tiny) piece of land on the Iberian peninsula that falls under British jurisdiction. Spain ceded the area to Britain in the Treaty of Utrecht after the War of the Spanish Succession. Nowadays there are some disputes as to who should be in charge of Gibraltar, but the Gibraltarians seem satisfied under Britain.
• Spain and the United Nations: When the United Nations was originally declared in 1942, Spain's fascist government and Axis sympathies resulted in him being barred from the club. The Spanish Question of whether or not Spain should be allotted a role in the international community lasted from 1945-55 as a result. A lot of Spain's exclusion was Russia's doing, as revenge for the Spanish volunteers that assisted Germany in the Soviet Union. In 1950 a resolution said that Spain would be able to join the UN, and the process of his doing so began the next year.
• Mon frère: My brother (French)
• They don't get along: I've talked about it a lot before but it's been a while so… Austria and France have a long history of war and rivalry through the opposing Habsburg and Valois (later Bourbon) families. You can find more info in the notes on World Series Episode 7.
