Episode 15: "Landscape Framed by Kozue"

"Coffee and a Sandwich"

C-Ko: Extra! Extra! Extra!
C-Ko: We have hot coffee and sandwiches and cold beer available.
C-Ko: We have hot coffee and sandwiches and cold beer available.
C-Ko: Wait a minute, I'm supposed to be the only one on this car.
C-Ko: We have hot coffee and sandwiches and cold beer available.
C-Ko: Shut up! I don't want anything to drink!
C-Ko: I don't want anything to eat!
Utena: Then ignore her.
B-Ko: Excuse me, coffee and a sandwich...

Kozue (like a number of characters in this show it seems) has a real brother complex. If Miki isn't thinking about her, she gets mighty pissed. She does plenty of awful things to make him worry about her - dating all sorts of boys seems to be the main one. Kozue is basically shoving her hot coffee, sandwiches, and cold beer in Miki's face. Even though Miki doesn't like the boys she dates (or the coffee that she offers him), because Kozue is forcing these things on him, he has no choice but to accept them.

This is how Kozue works. She irritates/worries them until they are forced to buy her sandwiches. Or take care of her/worry about her/etc.
