        And here's how the episode's dialogue went:

        Usagi: "Everyone, you're back from the dead!"
        Rei: "Yeah, and you're naked."
        Mina: "Holy shit, you're right."
        Ami: "Don't you think you should put some clothes on?"
        Hotaru: "Aren't you cold?"
        Usagi <wiping away tears>: "You're back, you're back from the dead.
              Shouldn't you be partially decomposed or something?"
        Endymion: "Usako, I... WHAT THE F***?  Get dressed girl!"
        Haruka: "Hey, I kinda like her like that."
        Chibi-Chibi: "Chibi-chibi."
        <Chibi-chibi gets caught in the hug.>
        Usagi: "Mamo-chan, you're back.  Now I can abandon my necrophelia."
        Endymion: "For God's sake, put something on!"
        Chibi-Chibi: "Get me the hell out of here.  You're a raving looney!
                     Running around naked with wings?  Shit, I'm gone."
        Haruka: "Say, what are you doing later?"
        Seiya: "Odango, uh, you're like naked or something."
        DiC: "Oops, can't have this here."
        Brad: <various comments on DiC>
        Nikki: "I don't wanna know! I don't wanna know!"
        Bob: "Hey, a cameo!"
        Bob Healer: "Cool!"
        Noel: "What am I doing here?"
        The Evil Professor Chronos: "Bwahaha!"
        Steve: "That's enough.  Shit, she's nude!!!!!!!"
