shadow: Wow, is that so?
shadow: All the fish in the sea are at my beck and call.
shadow: Oh, I caught another.
shadow: What's this? It's not doing what I want it to.
shadow: Is this some new breed of fish? This's never happened before!
shadow: What the hell are you-
shadow: Shh. I'm a "koi" [Japanese for "goldfish", and for "love"].

This play has got to be the most obvious one in the series, and is in fact the one that clued
me into the fact that the Shadow Plays are not just bunk.
The Casanova play is talking about Touga. Every girl (and to a slightly lesser extent,
everyone else) Touga has ever known throws herself at his feet - as as such, he doesn't
take them seriously. He believes they only exist for him to exploit and manipluates
everyone (except Akio, the hotter fisherman) without remorse.
But, what's this? Along comes one girl who doesn't throw herself at his feet - she can't
stand him! Why is this?
Touga has run into a girl he cannot conquer and caught the fish called love - or koi, in the
pun. Because Utena was the one fish he couldn't catch, he wants her the most.
