Kiki's Delivery Service

"Kiki's Delivery Service" Directed and Produced by Hayao Miyazaki Original story by Eiko Kadono




 * On a grassy knoll...)


 * RADIO: ...Now for the weather report from Northwest
 * Karikiya. A high pressure system over land will bring
 * good weather overall. Tonight, the wind will be from
 * the west by northwest, wind pressure 3, clear, with a
 * beautiful full moon. Tomorrow should be clear, and
 * also the day after. Next, the futures prices from
 * the Karikiya Central Produce Market...


 * (At home...)


 * KIKI: Jiji! I've decided! I'm leaving tonight!


 * KIKI: Mother!! (to Mrs. Dora) Oh, good day! Mother, did you
 * hear the weather forecast? It's going to clear tonight.
 * There'll be a beautiful moon!


 * KOKIRI: Kiki, did you take Father's radio out again?


 * KIKI: Well, he won't mind. (to Mrs. Dora) Mrs. Dora, how
 * are you? I've made up my mind, I'm going to do it
 * tonight.


 * KOKIRI: But, dear, you said you were going to postpone it for a
 * month...


 * KIKI: But I don't know if the next full moon will be clear.
 * I want to depart on a clear night.


 * KOKIRI: Ah...Wait a minute! Kiki! 


 * DORA: Do witches have to leave home as part of their
 * training?


 * KOKIRI: Yes, it's an old custom. If a child wants to be a witch,
 * she leaves home when she turns 13.


 * DORA: How soon. So Kiki is at that age already?


 * KOKIRI: But to leave home alone so young, it won't do in this
 * day and age.


 * DORA: I remember well the day you came to this town. A tiny,
 * 13-year-old girl riding on a broom, dropping out of the
 * sky. Eyes sparkling, a bit saucy...


 * KOKIRI: But that child, all she's mastered is flying. And
 * there'll be no one to carry on my medicine-making.


 * DORA: It's the fault of the times. Everything's changing.
 * But for me and my rheumatism, your medicine works the
 * best.


 * (In Kiki's bedroom...)


 * KIKI: Well, you were so eager to depart, and now that the
 * time has come, you're sure dilly-dallying.


 * JIJI: No, it's not that. After all, it's the beginning of
 * your independence, and you should be more cautious
 * and calm.


 * KIKI: So, what'll I do if I wait a month and in the meantime
 * find a nice boyfriend? It'll be too hard to leave then.


 * JIJI: It's always a worry, what'll happen, because once you
 * decide, you're such an impulsive person.


 * KIKI: Well, I guess I am. I'm all excited, like when I'm
 * about to open up a gift.


 * (Kiki's dad arrives...)


 * KIKI: Father, I've decided to leave tonight.


 * OKINO: What did you say??


 * KIKI: I decided, just a little while ago.


 * OKINO: But look, I borrowed the camping equipment for next
 * week...


 * KIKI: I'm sorry.


 * OKINO: This won't do! Ah...Ah!


 * (Okino is on the telephone...)


 * OKINO: Thank you. We'll be waiting. (dials)
 * This is Okino. Kiki's leaving tonight...
 * Yes, that's right.


 * (In Kiki's bedroom...)


 * KOKIRI: It looks nice, doesn't it?


 * KIKI: If only it were purple...


 * KOKIRI: Witches have worn that since long ago.


 * KIKI: A black cat, black clothes...I'm all in black.


 * KOKIRI: Kiki, don't worry so much about your appearance.
 * What's important is the 'inner soul'.


 * KIKI: Yes, I understand. Leave the 'inner soul' part to me.
 * It's too bad I can't show it to you.


 * KOKIRI: And don't forget to always smile.


 * KIKI: O-kay!


 * KOKIRI: And write us a letter as soon as you're settled.


 * (Kokiri leaves, and Okino walks in...)


 * KIKI: Father! May I have that radio? All right?
 * The radio?! Hooray!!


 * OKINO: (laughs) I finally lost it...
 * Hey, let me see my little witch. You look a
 * lot like your mother
 * when she was younger.


 * KIKI: Father, lift me up 'high-high', like when I was small.


 * OKINO: All right. (lifts her) When did you get so big?...
 * If it doesn't go well, you can always return home.


 * KIKI: That's not going to happen.


 * OKINO: It'll be nice if you find a nice town.


 * KIKI: Right.


 * (Evening, on the patio...)


 * NEIGHBOR A: That's hard--to find a town to live in by yourself.


 * NEIGHBOR B: Kiki will do fine.


 * FRIEND A: What kind of town will you choose?


 * FRIEND B: A big city?


 * KIKI: Well, I'm planning to find a town overlooking
 * the ocean.


 * FRIENDS: Oh, how wonderful. We're jealous!


 * KIKI: But I'm going for my training. I can't become a
 * witch unless I live for one year in another town.


 * FRIEND C: But there'll be a disco there, won't there?


 * KOKIRI: Kiki, it's time.


 * KIKI: All right.


 * KOKIRI: Dear, are you going with that broom?


 * KIKI: Yes, I just made it. Isn't it cute?


 * KOKIRI: It won't do; it's so small. Take Mother's broom.


 * KIKI: Oh, no! It's so old.


 * KOKIRI: That's why it's just right. It's been through a lot,
 * and will weather any storm. Take it, OK?


 * KIKI: But I worked so hard to make this one. Right, Jiji?


 * JIJI: I think your mother's broom is better...


 * KIKI: Backstabber!


 * DORA: Kiki, when you get settled in your new town, you can
 * make your own, can't you?


 * KIKI: (Resignedly) Well... (switches brooms with Kokiri)


 * OKINO: Be careful.


 * KOKIRI: Chin up.


 * KIKI: I'll be off.


 * KOKIRI: Do your best! Take it easy! Be sure to write!


 * FRIENDS: Go, go, Kiki! Go, go, Kiki! Go, go, Kiki...!


 * (Kiki takes off...)


 * KOKIRI: Oh, clumsy as always!


 * OKINO: (listening with hands cupped) It's OK. I think she's
 * off without any trouble.


 * NEIGHBOR: I guess we won't be hearing those bells for awhile...


 * (Over the town...)


 * JIJI: Which way are we going?


 * KIKI: To the south, where we can see the ocean.


 * KIKI: Jiji! Turn on the radio, my hands are busy! Hurry!


 * (The credits roll...)


 * (Over the lake...)


 * KIKI: Good evening.


 * WITCH: Well, well...Are you a newcomer?


 * KIKI: Yes, I just departed this evening.


 * WITCH: Would you mind turning off that music? I like to
 * fly in silence.


 * KIKI: Oh. Is it hard to settle down in a strange
 * town?


 * WITCH: Well, there were problems. But I can tell fortunes,
 * so it's going all right.


 * KIKI: Fortune-telling...


 * WITCH: And lately, I've been telling love-fortunes.


 * KIKI: Really?


 * WITCH: What's your specialty?


 * KIKI: Well, I've been thinking about various things.


 * WITCH: Oh? I'll be through with my training soon. I'm so
 * glad I can return home with my head held high.
 * (points down) That's my town. It's not big, but
 * it's all right. And you too, do your best.


 * KIKI: I will.


 * WITCH: (Departing with a flourish...) Well, bye!


 * JIJI: What a snob! Did you see that cat? Ehh...


 * KIKI: A specialty...


 * (A sudden rainstorm...)


 * KIKI: What the...! That weather report!!


 * JIJI: That's no good! It's a freight train.


 * KIKI: Let's rest a bit until the rain stops.


 * JIJI: Won't we get a scolding?


 * KIKI: Well, if we're discovered. I'm soaking wet.


 * JIJI: Is it swaying?


 * KIKI: Um...it smells good.


 * (The next morning...)


 * KIKI: Ah, Ah! (laughs hysterically)


 * KIKI: Sorry, I didn't know it was your dinner.


 * (Atop the boxcar...)


 * KIKI: Jiji, it's the sea, the sea! How wonderful!
 * It's my first view of the sea!


 * JIJI: Big deal! It's just a lot of water.


 * KIKI: Look, look! A big town! I wonder if there's a
 * witch there?


 * JIJI: Hmm...I wonder.


 * (Kiki prepares to take off from the train...)


 * KIKI: Here we go.


 * KIKI: Jiji, are you holding on?


 * KIKI: Look! It's a town right by the sea! A
 * clocktower! I wanted to live in a town
 * like this!


 * JIJI: But there may be a witch here already.


 * KIKI: And there may not be. Isn't it beautiful?


 * JIJI: This town's a little too big.


 * (At the clock tower...)


 * CARETAKER: Hey, a witch! Isn't that something!


 * KIKI: Good morning. Is there a witch in this town?


 * CARETAKER: Hmm...I haven't seen one for a long time.


 * KIKI: (to Jiji) Did you hear that? I've decided on this
 * town. Thanks, mister!


 * CARETAKER: Not at all!...


 * JIJI: You really want to go down there?


 * KIKI: Of course!


 * JIJI: They're all looking.


 * KIKI: Smile. We have to make a good first impression.


 * (On the street...)


 * KIKI: Ahem...I'm Kiki, a witch, and this black cat is Jiji.
 * I hope I'm not intruding. I'd like to live in this
 * town. It's beautiful, and the clock tower is
 * wonderful.


 * WOMAN : (nonplussed) Really? I'm so glad you like it here.
 * BYSTANDER


 * (A policeman approaches her on the run.)


 * COP: Hey, you! You can't jump out in the street like that!
 * You almost caused a big accident! Flying around town
 * like that is dangerous.


 * KIKI: But I'm a witch. All witches fly.


 * COP: Witches have to obey the traffic laws like everyone
 * else. Your name and address?


 * KIKI: You're going to notify my home?


 * COP: You're a minor, aren't you. I will if I have to.


 * (Voice): Thief! Thief!...Thief!!


 * COP: You wait right here!


 * (On a side street...)


 * JIJI: Kiki...


 * TOMBO: Hey, there...That worked out great, didn't it?
 * I'm the one who yelled out "Thief!" You're a witch,
 * aren't you? I saw you flying.


 * So you really do fly on a broom. Say, will you
 * let me see it?


 * BOYS: Tombo! Hunting girls so early in the morning?


 * TOMBO: Idiots! Oops...


 * TOMBO: Hey, please, for just a minute, OK?


 * KIKI: Thank you for saving me. But I didn't ask for your
 * help. And when you haven't been properly introduced,
 * it's rude to start talking to a girl. Hmph!


 * TOMBO: You're really a witch, aren't you...just like my
 * grandmother.


 * KIKI: Don't follow me!


 * (Kiki flies away...)


 * TOMBO: Ah...Cool!


 * (In a hotel...)


 * HOTEL CLERK: A room? Is there a guardian with you?


 * KIKI: I'm a witch. Witches become independent when they
 * turn 13.


 * HOTEL CLERK: Well then, may I see some identification?


 * KIKI: Never mind.


 * (At the monument...)


 * JIJI: Aren't you going to eat?


 * KIKI: If you want it, you can have it.


 * JIJI: It'll be evening soon.


 * KIKI: Let's go.


 * (In front of a bakery...)


 * JIJI: Let's find another town. There's a bigger, better
 * place somewhere else, I'm sure.


 * OSONO: Ma'am! You forgot something! Ma'am!!


 * OSONO: Oh, no, what a problem. That baby will cry and cry
 * without this.


 * OSONO: I'm sorry, customers. Please wait a minute, I have to
 * deliver this.


 * KIKI: Ah, would you like me to deliver it for you?


 * OSONO: But...


 * KIKI: It's that lady with the baby carriage who went around
 * the corner, right?


 * OSONO: Would you? Thank you so much!


 * KIKI: It's nothing. Jiji, here we go.


 * OSONO: Oh!...(she sees her flying) Oho!...


 * (Kiki catches up with the lady and her carriage...)


 * KIKI: The bakery lady asked me to deliver this. Something
 * you forgot.


 * (At the bakery...)


 * OSONO: Thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting. The usual,
 * right?


 * OSONO: (to Kiki) Ah, thank you for your trouble. Come on
 * in and wait a second.


 * Thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting. Yes, thanks.
 * Please take care.


 * OSONO: (to Kiki) That was quite a surprise. So, you can fly!


 * KIKI: I came to deliver this letter.


 * OSONO: It's that lady's signature. (Letter: I have received
 * the pacifier. Thank you.)


 * KIKI: Well, I'll be on my way.


 * OSONO: Oh, wait. Can't you stay a minute. I want to thank
 * you. This way.


 * (In the kitchen...)


 * OSONO: Sit down. Is coffee OK?


 * KIKI: Yes, thank you.


 * OSONO: (to Jiji) This is for you.


 * OSONO: I see...So that's why you're looking for your own town.


 * KIKI: The people of this town don't seem to like witches.


 * OSONO: It's a big town, and there are all kinds of people.
 * But me, I like you. And, have you found a place to
 * stay?


 * Well, if that's the case, why didn't you say something
 * earlier. We have a spare room you can use.


 * KIKI: Really, Madam?


 * OSONO: (laughs) Never mind the 'Madam'. Here they all call
 * me 'Osono of the bakery'.


 * KIKI: I'm Kiki, and this black cat is Jiji.


 * (A dusty room upstairs...)


 * OSONO: It's a little dusty, but you can fix it up to suit
 * yourself.


 * KIKI: Yes.


 * OSONO: The water and toilet are downstairs. If you need
 * anything, don't hesitate to ask.


 * KIKI: Thank you.


 * JIJI: It's dusty with flour.


 * KIKI: Right.


 * JIJI: I think, by tomorrow, I'll be a white cat.


 * KIKI: Jiji, we can see the ocean!


 * JIJI: Tomorrow, shall we look for another town?


 * (Jiji looks at the cat next door...)


 * JIJI: Huh! Huh! What a snob!


 * (Bedtime...)


 * KIKI: I want to stay in this town a little longer.
 * There may be others, like Madam Osono, who like me.


 * (The next morning...)


 * KIKI: How much do you think it costs to have a phone put in?


 * JIJI: A telephone?


 * KIKI: Yes, I'm going to start a business.


 * (In the bakery...)


 * KIKI: Good morning!


 * OSONO: Morning! Did you sleep well?


 * KIKI: Uh-huh. It smells good. Is it all right if I help?


 * OSONO: Um.


 * So, a delivery service?


 * KIKI: Since flying is the only skill I have, I thought,
 * maybe, a delivery service.


 * OSONO: That sounds interesting...a flying delivery service.
 * You came up with a good idea!


 * You can use that room.


 * KIKI: Really?! I'm so glad. I'm thinking of having a
 * phone put in.


 * OSONO: Won't that be expensive?


 * KIKI: I brought a little money with me.


 * OSONO: That's wasteful. Look, why don't you use the phone
 * in the shop? It'll be difficult until you have a
 * regular clientele. Since I'm in this condition, if
 * you'll help mind the store occasionally, the room and
 * the phone will be free. And we'll throw in breakfast!


 * KIKI: Oh, thank you! I'll work very hard. Madam Osono,
 * you're a nice person, aren't you!


 * (Kiki cleans up her room...)


 * KIKI: Jiji, I'm finished. Let's go shopping.


 * (On the street...)


 * JIJI: You shouldn't jump out into the street like that...
 * After all, we're not out in the country.


 * KIKI: I know, I know. I did it without thinking.


 * GIRLS: (laughter) That's terrible...I wouldn't...But he.....


 * KIKI: If only my clothes were a little nicer...


 * (Shopping...)


 * KIKI: Just daily living takes a bit of money...


 * JIJI: Kiki!! Look, look!


 * (On the way home...)


 * JIJI: Do you have enough money?


 * KIKI: Well, we'll have to make do with hotcakes for awhile.


 * KIKI: Aren't they beautiful?


 * TOMBO: Stop! Stop!
 * Little-miss-witch, aren't you flying today?
 * (to his friends) See, didn't I tell you? She's
 * really wearing a black dress. Hey, wait a minute,
 * Miss Witch!...


 * (At the bakery...)


 * OSONO: Kiki, you're just in time. It's a customer. There's
 * someone here who needs something delivered.


 * KIKI: Really? I'll be right there!


 * (Running upstairs...)


 * KIKI: Map...


 * (In the bakery...)


 * OSONO: This is a regular customer of the shop. When you came
 * up in our conversation, she said it's just perfect.


 * MAKI: What a cute witch!


 * KIKI: My name is Kiki.


 * MAKI: I'd like you to deliver this. I wonder if it will get
 * there by this evening?


 * KIKI: Yes.


 * MAKI: It's a birthday gift for my nephew. Something came up
 * at work and I can't make it to the party.


 * KIKI: Where shall I deliver it?


 * JIJI: (Sees the toy cat) It's me!


 * MAKI: I wonder if it's too far?


 * KIKI: I can fly there in a straight line.


 * MAKI: What about the fee?


 * KIKI: Well, I haven't decided yet.


 * MAKI: Do you think this would be enough?


 * KIKI: It's so much. Thank you!


 * (On the street...)


 * TOMBO: (Watching Kiki ascend...) Isn't that neat?!


 * OSONO: If only I could fly, too...


 * TOMBO: Lady, do you know that girl?!


 * (High above the town...)


 * JIJI: Kiki, how high do you plan on flying?


 * KIKI: Well, this is my first job--the police won't bother me
 * up here.


 * JIJI: (as a seaplane passes far below) I thought you were
 * making a delivery to an angel.


 * KIKI: It's on the other side of that cape. Here we go!


 * KIKI: Jiji, I like this town.


 * JIJI: It's too soon to make up your mind.


 * KIKI: But now I can write a letter to Mother.


 * (Alongside the geese...)


 * KIKI: A flock of geese! How beautiful! They're going in
 * the same direction we are!


 * KIKI: I wonder what's wrong?


 * JIJI: They said a big wind is coming!


 * KIKI: What?!


 * JIJI: They're saying, 'Let's fly higher.'


 * (A gust of wind...)


 * KIKI: (seeing the falling stuffed-cat) Oh, no!!


 * (In the tree...)


 * KIKI: This won't do! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! (seeing a nest)
 * Please excuse me! I wasn't going to steal your eggs!


 * KIKI: Wow, that was scary!


 * JIJI: Well, it was your fault. After all, they warned you
 * about the wind.


 * KIKI: You're right. Aren't they something? Look how high
 * they're flying, using that wind.


 * JIJI: Kiki, it's gone!!


 * KIKI: You're right! Oh, no!!


 * JIJI: It must have happened when we fell.


 * (The crows come back...)


 * JIJI: They're saying, 'The egg-thief is back again'!


 * KIKI: Oh, no. What shall we do?!


 * KIKI: Ohhh!...My broom. Stop it! Stop it! (swinging the
 * empty cage) Hey, stop it!!


 * KIKI: What a problem. They're still kicking up a fuss...


 * JIJI: Ah, a witch's standing has really fallen. Crows used
 * to be retainers to witches.


 * KIKI: But that was a long time ago.
 * The only thing we can do is wait until sunset and
 * return quietly and search.


 * JIJI: But then we'll be late for our delivery.


 * KIKI: Jiji, we have to do this as a last resort.


 * JIJI: This won't work!


 * KIKI: Please. I'll come and rescue you as soon as I find it.


 * (Above the cape...)


 * JIJI: Is that the house?


 * KIKI: Uh-huh. Now don't move.


 * JIJI: How about breathing?


 * KIKI: As little as possible.


 * (At the house...)


 * KETTO: It's Auntie's present! How weird! (laughs)


 * KETTO'S: It took you a long time, didn't it? My sister called,
 * MOTHER so we were expecting you.


 * KIKI: I'm sorry. Ah...Would you sign for it, please?


 * KETTO: Mother, is it all right if I transfer the canary?


 * KETTO'S: Yes, but be careful not to let it get away.
 * MOTHER


 * KETTO: Okay.


 * KIKI: Thank you very much.


 * (In the house...)


 * KETTO: Now stay calm, Pitchi. Hey, you're not getting away!


 * JIJI: (whispering) Kiki, hurry!


 * (In the forest...)


 * KIKI: What am I going to do? It should be around here
 * somewhere. There it is!


 * (At the cabin...)


 * KIKI: Excuse me please! Is anyone here? Excuse me!


 * URSULA: Yes...I can't stop now. Would you come up here?


 * (On the roof...)


 * URSULA: What is it?


 * KIKI: That stuffed black cat in the window. It's something I
 * lost.


 * URSULA: (to the crow) You're a good birdie, aren't you. Now,
 * don't move. (to Kiki) I found it in the forest a
 * little while ago.


 * KIKI: May I have it back?


 * URSULA: Just a minute; I don't want to stop right now.
 * (to the crow) That's good. Aren't you pretty.


 * (Back down at the cabin...)


 * URSULA: Well, if that's the case, why didn't you say so
 * earlier? I just thought it was kind of cute.


 * KIKI: Thank you! Oh, it's ripped!


 * URSULA: It's the crow's fault. They were making a fuss at the
 * time.


 * KIKI: What shall I do? It belongs to a customer.


 * URSULA: How about a trade-off?


 * (Later, in the cabin...)


 * URSULA: So, you're on your own at 13? I think that's great--I
 * like the idea!


 * KIKI: Ah, can it be fixed?


 * URSULA: I told you, leave it to me.


 * (The house on the cape...)


 * KETTO'S: Ketto! Ketto, hurry and take a bath! The guests will
 * MOTHER be here soon! KET-TO!!


 * (The log cabin...)


 * URSULA: Finished!


 * KIKI: Thank you.


 * URSULA: OK, hurry and go rescue Jiji.


 * KIKI: But I haven't finished cleaning.


 * URSULA: That's plenty. Hurry, hurry!


 * KIKI: Thank you.


 * (At the house on the cape...)


 * KETTO: Jeff (the dog) is really a funny one. (laughter)


 * KETTO'S : It's so comical; Jeff has taken such a liking to that
 * MOTHER stuffed cat, he won't let go of it.


 * GUEST A: I wonder if he thinks it's a puppy?


 * GUEST B: If Maki hears that, she'll be angry. (laughter)


 * KETTO: It's OK, I'm going to give it to Jeff.


 * KETTO'S: Why don't you write a letter to Aunt Maki?
 * MOTHER


 * KETTO: Okay.


 * GUEST A: Jeff has really aged, hasn't he? You have to be nice
 * to him, Ketto.


 * KETTO: But all he does is sleep.


 * GUEST A: Isn't that the truth!


 * KETTO'S: Ketto, Jeff wants to go out. Open the door for him.
 * MOTHER


 * KETTO: Okay. When you're done, close the door yourself.


 * (Outside the house...)


 * KIKI: JIJI!!


 * JIJI: You're late!


 * KIKI: I'm sorry.


 * JIJI: (pointing to Jeff) He's the one who saved me. He
 * says he'll replace the stuffed cat.


 * KIKI: Can you do this favor for us?


 * (Above the town...)


 * KIKI: Are you still feeling stiff?


 * JIJI: I'm hungry.


 * KIKI: That's right. And I'm dead tired, too. But it was a
 * wonderful day. And you know, the person who found the
 * stuffed cat for me wants to paint a picture with me
 * as a model.


 * JIJI: Nude?


 * KIKI: Stupid!


 * (At the bakery...Sign: "I deliver...Kiki")


 * KIKI: How slow it is...


 * JIJI: That won't do. You're supposed to be watching the
 * shop.


 * KIKI: But there's not a single customer coming around.


 * JIJI: It's going to be the busy hour pretty soon.


 * KIKI: No, I mean customers for the delivery service.
 * Jiji, if it's like this for a long, lo-o-o-ng time,
 * and customers don't come, and every day, e-e-ev-ery
 * day, until I become an old lady, we have only hot
 * cakes to eat, what'll we do?


 * JIJI: Myself, I like hotcakes...if they're not burned.


 * KIKI: Huh. Cats sure have an easy life. Well, don't blame
 * me if you get as big around as a hotcake...!


 * KIKI: Isn't she pretty? I hear she's a fashion designer.


 * JIJI: I don't like her cat...'cause she's such a snob.


 * (The telephone rings...)


 * KIKI: Hello, this is the Gutiokipanja bakery...Yes we do...
 * (whispers) Jiji, it's a customer, a customer!
 * ...I should be at your house by 4:30. Yes, I
 * understand. May I have your address? Yes...yes...
 * a house with a blue roof. Thank you. I'll be there
 * without fail.


 * TOMBO: This please. Here you are.


 * KIKI: Thank you very much.


 * TOMBO: Listen, don't be mad, and hear me out. Our club is
 * having a party tonight. It's called the Aviation Club,
 * and we want you to come for sure. Here's the
 * invitation.


 * TOMBO: It's a formal event. Everyone's anxious to hear
 * your story.


 * (A customer enters with a parcel...)


 * KIKI: Ah, welcome.


 * CUSTOMER: I heard you have a delivery service here.


 * KIKI: Yes...Do you have a package to deliver?


 * CUSTOMER: Can you deliver this right away?


 * KIKI: Yes, I'll take care of it.


 * CUSTOMER: Can you manage?


 * TOMBO: Shall I help?


 * KIKI: It's all right.


 * TOMBO: (leaving) I'll be here to pick you up at 6 o'clock,
 * so decide by then, OK? Bye!


 * CUSTOMER: How much will it be?


 * KIKI: Is it in-town or out-of-town?


 * CUSTOMER: I wrote the address on the box.


 * KIKI: Oh, I'm sorry.


 * (In the living room...)


 * KIKI: Mrs. Osono! What'll I do?! I got an invitation to
 * a party.


 * OSONO: Isn't that nice. You should go.


 * KIKI: But I only have this one dress.


 * OSONO: So, you're worried about that? It's a very nice dress,
 * because black shows off a girl's beauty.


 * KIKI: Really?


 * OSONO: How's the business?


 * KIKI: I have two jobs. It's already 4 o'clock! Oh, no!
 * I'm sorry, would you take over the shop?
 * (running out) JIJI, JIJI!


 * (Over the town...)


 * JIJI: You were so mad at that guy, and now you're going to
 * his party?!


 * KIKI: Don't talk now! I have to concentrate; this package
 * is so heavy!


 * KIKI: Thank you very much.
 * (to Jiji) We have to hurry!


 * (Airborne again...)


 * KIKI: Next, we have an appointment at 4:30. It's a blue roof.


 * (At an old mansion...)


 * KIKI: Ah, I'm Kiki, the one who made an appointment for a
 * pick-up.


 * BERTHA: Yes, come in. You're right on time, aren't you.


 * KIKI: Yes.


 * BERTHA: Madam, she's here.


 * MADAM: Oh, no. What a problem. What to do? Is it the
 * appointed time already?


 * BERTHA: (to Kiki) Go on in.


 * KIKI: All right.


 * BERTHA: I'll take that for you. A black cat and a
 * broom. It's just like my great-grandmother told me.


 * KIKI: I'm Kiki, of the delivery service.


 * MADAM: Well, well. Such a cute witch. But you know, the food
 * I was going to have you deliver isn't ready yet.
 * The oven temperature just won't go up. Isn't it
 * strange?


 * It's no use, when machines and people get old.
 * I thought I'd have you deliver a dish right out of
 * the oven for my grandchild's party. It's my specialty
 * --herring and pumpkin pot pie. But we'll have to give
 * up. I'll apologize to my grandchild on the phone.
 * And you had to make a wasted trip, didn't you.


 * BERTHA...BERTHA! Give the witch her fee.


 * BERTHA: Ah, yes?


 * MADAM: That's all right. Give her the amount we agreed on.


 * KIKI: Madam!


 * MADAM: Please accept it. After all, it wasn't your fault.


 * KIKI: Madam, I still have a little time. Can't you use that
 * oven?


 * MADAM: Ah, that. It used to bake beautifully, but I haven't
 * used it for some time.


 * KIKI: If it's a wood-burning oven, I can help. In the
 * country, my mother taught me how.


 * MADAM: Even so, it's a lot of work.


 * BERTHA: It's a great idea. I don't like electric ovens, but if
 * it's a wood-burning oven, we can use the fireplace logs.


 * KIKI: Let's do it, Madam.


 * MADAM: Should we? Well then, can you help us?


 * (At the woodshed...)


 * JIJI: Showing off is okay, but if you're late for the party,
 * don't blame me.


 * KIKI: But I couldn't just accept the money. We have to hurry.


 * (In the kitchen...)


 * BERTHA: (holding a bellows) Look. This still works.


 * MADAM: You were well-trained by your mother, weren't you?
 * You've got everything in good order. It's sort of
 * exciting, isn't it?


 * BERTHA: I just hate electricity.


 * MADAM: It looks like the right moment. Ah, that's just right.
 * Now all we do is wait.


 * KIKI: About 40 minutes?


 * MADAM: Yes, that's about right. Well, let's take a little
 * break.


 * KIKI: Is there anything else I can help with?


 * MADAM: Really? Well, I wonder if we could impose on you?


 * JIJI: This is asking too much.


 * KIKI: Not at all.


 * JIJI: I don't think you'll make it on time. No way.


 * KIKI: Worrywart! If I fly full-speed, I can make it in
 * exactly 15 minutes.


 * BERTHA: The tea is ready. Come this way.


 * (In the kitchen...)


 * MADAM: ...! A party at 6 o'clock? Can you make it on time?


 * KIKI: Sure, I can make it in 15 minutes.


 * MADAM: Oh, no!! That clock is 10 minutes slow!


 * KIKI: Oh, what'll I do?


 * MADAM: Hurry, the oven!


 * KIKI: All right.


 * MADAM: BERTHA, BERTHA!!


 * KIKI: How does it look?


 * MADAM: It looks fine. Now, hurry!


 * KIKI: All right.


 * BERTHA: Hurry!


 * KIKI: All right.


 * MADAM: You forgot something. (hands her some money)


 * KIKI: ...No, this is too much!!


 * MADAM: Please take it.


 * BERTHA: Hurry, hurry!!


 * MADAM: Have a nice time at the party.


 * BERTHA: You can go out there!


 * (In the air...)


 * KIKI: It was such beautiful weather until now.


 * JIJI: My whiskers are crackling!


 * JIJI: Let's get out of the rain!


 * KIKI: We can't; we'll be late, and this food will get cold!


 * (At the granddaughter's house...)


 * GRAND-
 * DAUGHTER: What do you want?


 * KIKI: I have something to deliver.


 * GRAND-
 * DAUGHTER: Oh, it's soaking wet.


 * KIKI: That's because it suddenly started to rain. But the
 * food is fine.


 * GRAND-
 * DAUGHTER: And I told her I didn't want it.


 * (from inside):What is it?


 * GRAND-
 * DAUGHTER: It's from Grandmother. She sent a herring pie again.


 * KIKI: Ah, would you sign for it, please?


 * GRAND-
 * DAUGHTER: You know, I hate this pie. (slams door)


 * JIJI: Is she really that lady's granddaughter? Beh...beh!!
 * (sticks out tongue)


 * (Above the town...)


 * JIJI: Is it too late for the party? Kiki, there's that boy!
 * You can still make it!


 * (At the bakery...)


 * OSONO: That was quite a downpour. That boy waited a long time.


 * KIKI: It's too late now. I can't go like this anyway.


 * (In Kiki's bedroom...)


 * JIJI: What's the matter, Kiki? Have a headache? Let's eat,
 * I'm hungry.


 * (The next morning...)


 * OSONO: KIKI!


 * (Upstairs...)


 * OSONO: Are you feeling sick?...What a fever!


 * KIKI: My head's throbbing.


 * OSONO: Last night, you didn't dry off completely, did you?


 * KIKI: I think I'm going to die...


 * OSONO: (laughs) It's just a cold. I'll bring you some
 * medicine. And also, you'll have to eat something.


 * KIKI: I'm not hungry.


 * OSONO: It's better to eat a little, even if you don't want to.
 * I'll make you some milk-gruel. Some for Jiji, too.


 * (A little later...)


 * OSONO: This is best when one has a cold. Here, Jiji. It's
 * hot, so be careful. (to Kiki:) Now, eat some while
 * it's hot. Can you get up?


 * KIKI: Do I absolutely have to?


 * OSONO: Well, if you want to get healthy again. Oh, yes. That
 * boy came to the shop a little while ago. When I told
 * him you were sick, he said, "You mean witches get sick
 * too?" He wants to visit you later. What do you
 * want to do?


 * KIKI: No, no!


 * OSONO: I thought you'd say that, so I turned him down
 * politely. You have a good rest; you overtaxed
 * yourself. I'll open the window, OK?


 * KIKI: Mrs. Osono?...Oh, nothing.


 * (The next morning...)


 * KIKI: JIJI...JIJI!!


 * JIJI: What?


 * KIKI: Jiji, it's time to eat.


 * OSONO: Kiki, how are you this morning?


 * KIKI: I'm just fine; Sorry I overslept.


 * OSONO: That's all right. When you come down, I have a favor
 * to ask of you.


 * (In the bakery...)


 * KIKI: The name is 'Kopori'?


 * OSONO: Is this enough?


 * KIKI: I don't want anything. I can walk there, it's
 * so close.


 * OSONO: That won't do. Business is business. Be sure to hand
 * it to the right person.


 * (In the courtyard...)


 * KIKI: Jiji!


 * JIJI: A job?


 * KIKI: Well...a friend? What's her name?


 * JIJI: It's Lily. I'll be right there.


 * KIKI: That's OK, it's not far. Miss Lily, I'll leave him in
 * your care.


 * (On the terrace...)


 * KIKI: How beautiful...


 * TOMBO: Hey, Miss Witch! Out for a walk?


 * KIKI: No, I'm looking for someone named Kopori.


 * TOMBO: ...That's me!


 * KIKI: What?!


 * TOMBO: Come around over there. I'll be right down.


 * KIKI: (looks at the slip) It's Mrs. Osono!


 * (In front of Tombo's house...)


 * TOMBO: Thank you.


 * KIKI: Um, I'm sorry about the other day. I kept you waiting
 * for a long time.


 * TOMBO: Uh-huh. And how about you; it must've been terrible
 * in that rain. Say, can you stop in for a minute?
 * There's something I want to show you. Hurry!


 * TOMBO: It was a party to celebrate this. It's part of a
 * self-propelled flying machine. Look. The wings and
 * fuselage are being made somewhere else. We're going to
 * fly it this summer vacation--I'm the pilot.


 * Hey, do you want to go to the beach? Let's go see
 * the dirigible that stopped for repairs.


 * KIKI: Dirigible?


 * TOMBO: Didn't you see it on television?


 * KIKI: I was in bed...


 * TOMBO: Well then, let's go!


 * KIKI: Are we going on this?


 * TOMBO: Of course. Training, training. I have to strengthen
 * my legs. Okay, get on.


 * KIKI: This is my first time on a bicycle.


 * TOMBO: Really? That's something.


 * TOMBO: Hold us back with your feet, 'til we build up some
 * forward pressure...Here we go...Kick-off!


 * KIKI: Shall I get off?


 * TOMBO: No-o-o...


 * (Barrelling down the street...)


 * PEOPLE IN
 * CAR: Go for it!...Looking good!


 * TOMBO: When we come to the sharp curve, lean over to the side.


 * KIKI: What?!


 * TOMBO: We can't turn unless we put our weight into it.
 * (leans over) Now!! That's good, that's the way!!
 * That was great! Fantastic!


 * KIKI: Is that what you call a 'dirigible'?


 * TOMBO: Yeah. (sees oncoming car) Oh!!.....We're flying!!


 * (On the grass...)


 * KIKI: Tombo, are you all right?


 * TOMBO: Un...How about you?


 * KIKI: I'm okay...(laughs hysterically)


 * TOMBO: Is my face that funny?


 * KIKI: ...That's not it...Sorry, but I was so scared...


 * TOMBO: (laughs) I was scared, too. Hey, did you use your
 * magic a little while ago?


 * KIKI: I don't know; I was in a trance. Oh, your bike is a
 * wreck!


 * TOMBO: Oh, no! The gang'll be mad at me. Kiki, keep an eye
 * on it.


 * KIKI: What's the matter?


 * TOMBO: I've got cramps from pedaling! Wait!...


 * (At the beach...)


 * TOMBO: Isn't it great? Wouldn't it be
 * wonderful to circle the globe in one of those...
 * Say, what was it like the first time you flew?


 * KIKI: I don't remember, because I was very young, but my
 * mother said I wasn't a bit scared.


 * TOMBO: I wish I had been born in a witch's family. You can
 * fly with a broom, but I have to do it like this...
 * (making pedaling motions)


 * KIKI: But flying is part of my work. It's not all fun and
 * games.


 * TOMBO: Is that so? But it's work well-suited to your talents.
 * That's great.


 * KIKI: I'm glad I came here today, because I didn't feel
 * confident. When I see the ocean, I feel like I'm going
 * to get better.


 * TOMBO: I'll bring you anytime you like. It'll be part of my
 * training.


 * KIKI: Tombo, you're nice, aren't you?


 * TOMBO: Hey, you finally realized that?


 * KIKI: Well, at first you seemed like a juvenile delinquent.


 * TOMBO: That's what my mother always says, "This juvenile
 * delinquent of a son...quit staring at the sky and start
 * studying!!"


 * (A car comes by...Tombo's friends)


 * GIRL A: Great news!


 * TOMBO: What is it?


 * GIRL A: Something great! Hurry!


 * TOMBO: Wait a minute!


 * GIRL B: They'll let us see the inside of the dirigible.
 * Want to go?


 * TOMBO: Wow! Neat! I'm going, I'm going!


 * GIRL B: Say, who's that girl?


 * TOMBO: She's Kiki, the witch. (to Kiki) Kiki, won't you come
 * with us? They'll show us the inside of the dirigible.


 * KIKI: No, that's okay.


 * TOMBO: Come on, let's go!


 * GIRL C: I know her; she's the delivery girl.


 * GIRL B: Really? She's already working?


 * GIRL A: Ad-mi-ra-ble.


 * TOMBO: Let's go. I'll introduce you to everyone.


 * KIKI: I'm not going. Goodbye.


 * TOMBO: What's wrong? Why are you angry?


 * KIKI: I'm not angry; I have work to do. (leaves)
 * Don't follow me.


 * GIRLS: Tombo, we're going!


 * (Kiki's bedroom...)


 * KIKI: ......Jiji, something's wrong with me. After finally
 * making a friend, I suddenly became spiteful. It seemed
 * like the quiet and cheerful Kiki disappeared...(Jiji
 * walks off)...? How cold hearted...


 * (Dinnertime...)


 * KIKI: Jiji, no matter how nice a friend you've met, I wish
 * you'd be on time for dinner. I can never finish
 * cleaning up.


 * JIJI: Meow...


 * KIKI: What's with you, talking like a cat?


 * JIJI: Meow...


 * KIKI: ...Jiji, what happened to your voice? Say 'Kiki',
 * Jiji! Jiji! (Jiji walks off) I wonder what happened?
 * It seems that I can't understand Jiji...Oh, no!


 * KIKI: My magic has gotten weak.


 * (The next morning...)


 * OSONO: You can't fly? Because your magic has disappeared?


 * KIKI: It's gotten very weak. I'll have to cancel my delivery
 * service. But then, I'll help full-time at the shop.
 * Please let me stay in that room.


 * OSONO: Well, that's no problem. Your magic powers will
 * return, won't they?


 * KIKI: I don't know, though I can make another broom.


 * BAKER: (sees the dirigible flying overhead) Hey!


 * (Tombo is talking to Kiki on the phone...)


 * TOMBO: Kiki? It's Tombo. Did you see me waving from the
 * dirigible today? The captain let us go on a test
 * flight. It was fantastic! Hello, hello? Are you
 * listening, Kiki?


 * KIKI: Don't call me anymore. (hangs up)


 * TOMBO: Huh? What? I can't hear you. The captain wants to
 * meet you. ...? Hello, Hello?!


 * OSONO: What's the matter, Kiki? You're as white as a sheet.


 * KIKI: I'm still in my training period. If my magic
 * disappears, there's nothing else I know how to do.


 * (Ursula drops by...)


 * URSULA: Kiki! Hi! Hey, you didn't come to visit me at all,
 * so I came myself.


 * KIKI: I'm sorry.


 * URSULA: Well, that's not true. I'm on a shopping trip, so I
 * stopped in.


 * KIKI: Come on in. I'm between chores.


 * URSULA: Of course. That's what I planned to do.


 * (In Kiki's room...)


 * URSULA: This is a pretty nice room.


 * KIKI: Have some if you like. I'll make some tea.


 * URSULA: No tea for me. Could I have milk, if you have some?


 * KIKI: Sure.


 * URSULA: (to Jiji) Aha, it's true! Exactly like that stuffed
 * cat! You're Jiji, aren't you? (to Kiki) How's the
 * business? Are you on the right track? It's not going
 * well?


 * KIKI: I'm taking a little time off.


 * URSULA: Oh?


 * (Later...)


 * URSULA: On the street, I thought you looked a little
 * down-hearted. So that sort of thing happens to
 * witches, too? Look, why don't you come and stay at
 * my cabin?


 * KIKI: What?


 * URSULA: Excuse yourself with the shop-lady. One day won't
 * hurt. Jiji, won't you come, too? (laughs) Rather
 * be with her, huh? OK, decide. Let's go right away.


 * (At the bus terminal...)


 * URSULA: It's here!


 * (On a hill...)


 * URSULA: Made it.


 * KIKI: How beautiful...!


 * (Hitchhiking...)


 * URSULA: What gives? Doesn't this beautiful girl catch
 * anyone's eye?


 * (In the truck...)


 * URSULA: What?! You thought I was a boy??


 * DRIVER: Well, you looked like one.


 * URSULA: And you didn't notice these beautiful legs?


 * (At the cabin...)


 * KIKI: The crows...


 * URSULA: We've become good friends. Ya-hoo, I'm home!


 * KIKI: Good day. Please forgive me about last time.


 * URSULA: Go on in. I'll get some water.


 * (Inside the cabin...)


 * URSULA: Well?


 * KIKI: It's wonderful...


 * URSULA: When I met you, I got the inspiration to paint this
 * picture. But you know, I can't get this girl's face
 * just right. I've been waiting for you to come.


 * KIKI: Is this me?


 * URSULA: Well, I guess. Sit there a minute. Will you be my
 * model?


 * KIKI: But I'm not that beautiful.


 * URSULA: (laughs) You have a fine face. It's a lot nicer now
 * than before. Now, sit there. That chair is okay.
 * Raise your head a little, like you're looking off into
 * the distance. That's it; hold it.


 * Magic and painting are a lot alike. You know, a lot
 * of times, I just can't paint.


 * KIKI: Really? When that happens, what do you do?


 * URSULA: No, no. Don't look over here.


 * KIKI: Before, I could fly without giving it a thought.
 * But now, I don't know how I did it.


 * URSULA: When that happens, all one can do is struggle through
 * it. I draw and draw, and keep drawing.


 * KIKI: But then, if I can't fly...


 * URSULA: Then I stop drawing. I take walks, look at the
 * scenery, take naps, do nothing. Then after a while,
 * all of a sudden I get the urge to draw again.


 * KIKI: I wonder if that will happen?


 * URSULA: It will. Hey, look to the side.


 * (Bedtime...)


 * URSULA: I decided to become an artist when I was about your
 * age. I liked to draw so much, I almost hated to go
 * to bed. And then one day, all of a sudden, I couldn't
 * draw anything. Everything I drew, I didn't like.


 * KIKI: Hm...


 * URSULA: I realized that my art up to then was a copy of
 * someone else, things I had seen somewhere. I decided
 * I had to discover my own style.


 * KIKI: Was it difficult?


 * URSULA: It's still difficult. But then, the results...They
 * seem to be a little better than before.


 * URSULA: Then, witches don't go around casting spells?


 * KIKI: No, they say it's just something passed on
 * to offspring.


 * URSULA: It's nice to be a witch, isn't it? I like the idea--
 * to be a witch, to be an artist, to be a baker...It's an
 * energy bestowed by the gods or someone, right? Though
 * thanks to it, we do have to suffer at times...


 * KIKI: I never even thought about my magic powers. I used
 * to think this training was just an old-fashioned
 * custom...I was so happy you came today. If I were
 * alone, I'd just be running around in circles.


 * URSULA: You know, to tell you the truth, I thought about
 * destroying this painting many times.


 * KIKI: Even though it's so beautiful?


 * URSULA: When I met you today, and saw your distressed face,
 * I thought, 'That's it', and I was inspired.


 * KIKI: Tease!


 * URSULA: (laughs) Now we're even.


 * URSULA: OK, I'm going to turn it off.


 * KIKI: Um. I'm sorry I'm taking your bed.


 * URSULA: That's OK.


 * KIKI: Is it all right if I come and visit some time?


 * URSULA: Sure. I'm here during the summer. And I'll go and
 * visit you sometime, too.


 * KIKI: Right.


 * (The next morning, at the bakery...)


 * TV: The dirigible "Spirit of Freedom", that landed in this
 * town due to the heavy rainstorm, has finished its
 * repairs and will continue its journey to the South Pole.
 * We plan to broadcast the departure live, from the
 * seaside park.


 * OSONO: (answering the phone) Yes, this is the Gutiokipanja
 * bakery. Oh, Kiki. Yes. But you should take more
 * time...Oh, yes. The lady you met the other day wants
 * you to stop over again. What do you want to do?
 * Shall I turn her down? I told her you were on
 * vacation for awhile, but she insists...Really?
 * Then stop in on your way back. Bye.


 * (At the madam's house...)


 * KIKI: Good day.


 * BERTHA: Well, well, come in. We've been waiting eagerly.


 * TV: It's almost 5 minutes until departure. The city's
 * "Seahorse Band" is playing, and the crew is waving
 * to the crowd below. The group of people holding the
 * rope are eagerly awaiting the departure signal.
 * The final check seems almost complete...


 * KIKI: Here I am, Madam.


 * MADAM: Welcome. Please excuse me for not getting up. The
 * weather's nice but my legs are bothering me. Bertha,
 * would you bring it?


 * BERTHA: Yes, yes. Madam, has it taken off yet?


 * MADAM: Not yet. Isn't it funny? She's crazy about
 * dirigibles.


 * BERTHA: It's the adventure that I like.


 * MADAM: Would you turn the sound down a bit? Kiki, would you
 * open this box?


 * KIKI: All right. Madam, this...


 * MADAM: I'd like that delivered to a person named Kiki,
 * because she did a big favor for me the other day. It's
 * my way of saying "Thank you'. I'd also be happy if
 * at the same time you would find out her birthday.
 * Then I can bake another cake... Kiki...


 * KIKI: I'm very sure that person will want to know Madam's
 * birthday, too. It would be fun, thinking of a present.


 * MADAM: That's true, isn't it.


 * KIKI: (laughs)


 * TV: It's a gust of wind. A gale...Oh!


 * MADAM: What happened?


 * BERTHA: It seems like there was an accident.


 * TV: It's serious trouble! The rope has broken!! The
 * dirigible is being blown away. Ah, it's coming towards
 * our broadcast truck!
 * Oh, no!!


 * BERTHA: Ah, at the most important moment...what are they
 * showing!?


 * MADAM: These strong winds sometimes come up in the summer.
 * It will come by here in a minute.


 * BERTHA: Madam! The picture's back. It's upside down!!


 * TV: We're here at the seaside park...Blown by a sudden gust
 * of wind, the "Spirit of Freedom" is almost touching
 * ground...


 * BERTHA: When you come right down to it, it's just a balloon.


 * TV: It's lost its balance, and the ship is now upside down.
 * They're doing their best to anchor the last rope
 * holding the dirigible. I wonder if they can hold the
 * ship; it looks like it's ready to float away. Ahh,
 * it's no good...


 * The tremendous lift of the helium gas is pulling the
 * dirigible higher and higher. The powerful force of
 * the helium matched against several hundred people...


 * KIKI: Tombo!! That boy's a friend of mine!


 * TV: It's throwing off people one by one, and floating
 * higher and higher. Ah, even a patrol car is being
 * carried away like a toy. What's going to happen...?!


 * A young boy is being carried away with a patrol car!
 * This is terrible! Who would have thought something
 * like this would happen?!


 * KIKI: Tombo!


 * MADAM: You say he's a friend of yours?


 * KIKI: I have to go.


 * MADAM: Be careful!


 * BERTHA: How terrible!


 * (The dirigible...)


 * CAPTAIN: Hold on! Don't let go! (to crew) Release helium
 * from the rear compartments! Hurry!!


 * (On the street...)


 * RADIO: The helium in the dirigible will not explode.
 * Townspeople, don't panic and move about calmly.


 * KIKI: How's Tombo?...Is the boy all right?!


 * MAN IN CAR: I don't know, but they said the patrol car fell.


 * FIRETRUCK: Move aside! Open up the street! Clear the way!


 * STREET
 * SWEEPER: Are you OK?


 * KIKI: Mister, please lend me that broom!


 * STREET
 * SWEEPER: Huh?


 * KIKI: Please! I promise to return it!


 * STREET
 * SWEEPER: Well, I guess...


 * KIKI: Thank you!


 * KIKI: Fly!!


 * BYSTANDER: She's flying...!


 * (In the air...)


 * KIKI: Fly straight, or I'll throw you in the fire!


 * ANNOUNCER: Nothing has happened to the boy yet, but the "Spirit of
 * Freedom" is being blown by the wind and is approaching
 * the city tower.
 * If it continues, it'll crash into the tower...


 * TOMBO: We're going to hit! More altitude!


 * CAPTAIN: We don't have enough gas! Before we crash, jump into
 * the tower!


 * TOMBO: I'll try!


 * CARETAKER: Hey! Come over here!


 * TOMBO: Mister! Get away!


 * CARETAKER: Grab this!


 * (Kiki, above the town...)


 * KIKI: Fly faster! Hey!!


 * ANNOUNCER: Listen to that! It's the tremendous noise of the gas
 * escaping. We can't see from here what happened to the
 * young lad.


 * It's going to fall! The gas is escaping! The
 * dirigible is going to fall!! It's caught! It stopped!
 * It's been stopped! Look, the lad is still there! It's
 * a miracle! The lad is still hanging there! But then,
 * how are they going to save him? If they don't do
 * something, that brave lad...


 * (The town square...)


 * ANNOUNCER: What, what was that?! A bird...No, it's a young girl!
 * A young girl is flying through the air!! It's a witch!
 * It's not a broom! It's a witch riding on a push broom!!


 * (The madam's house...)


 * MADAM: It's Kiki!


 * BERTHA: Go!


 * (The bakery...)


 * OSONO: That child, she's flying!


 * (The house on the cape...)


 * KETTO: Go get him!!


 * KIKI: TOMBO!!


 * TOMBO: KIKI!!


 * KIKI: (to the broom) Listen, you're a good boy, so do as I
 * tell you!


 * CAPTAIN: Keep trying! Just a bit more!!


 * KIKI: TOMBO!!


 * TOMBO: KIKI!!


 * ANNOUNCER: You can do it! Just a bit more!


 * CROWD: Go get him! Go get him! Go get him!!


 * CAPTAIN: You can do it!


 * ANNOUNCER: She caught him!! She caught him in mid-air!!


 * They've just touched down! It's an emotional scene!
 * It looks like the crew of the dirigible is safe too!


 * STREET-
 * SWEEPER: I lent her that push-broom, you know!


 * (Madam's house...)


 * MADAM: (laughs) Ahh!...Stop it, Bertha!


 * BERTHA: She did it, she did it!!...(laughs)


 * (At the bakery...)


 * OSONO: Good girl, Kiki! Good for you!


 * Dear!! Call the doctor! I think it's time!


 * BAKER: Oi!!...
