   As Serena/Usagi was listing her faults, the dub left out all of the   
   feminine skills. However since most of them are purely Japanese, I   
   suppose I can see that (flower arranging, tea ceremony, wearing a   
   kimono, etc). In the dub, she said she was a little clumsy and had   
   poor table manners, however she was great at sports if she didn't have   
   to run.

   In the dub, she said "Cocoa's on, come and get it, uh, please come and   
   get it...?" I suppose they could not come up with a funny formal way   
   to offer a drink in English. It was mildly funny, I suppose.   
      
   Over all, it was not a bad translation.   
      
   BTW, This episode has another blushing Ami scene as she leaves the   
   ball room with Makoto. ^_-
