Kiki's Delivery Service Page #4

Synopsis: This is the story of a young witch, named Kiki who is now thirteen years old. But she is still a little green and plenty headstrong, but also resourceful, imaginative, and determined. With her trusty wisp of a talking cat named Jiji by her side she's ready to take on the world, or at least the quaintly European seaside village she's chosen as her new home.

Yes, of course, we can handle it.

It's very urgent this package arrive

as soon as possible.

That's no problem.

Are you all right?

- I do this every day.

- Can I help you?

Well, I hope you make up

your mind by 6:
00.

'Cause that's when I'll be by

to pick you up.

- See ya.

- How much will that be?

Will that be inside

or outside city limits, sir?

- I wrote the address on the box.

- Oh! Oh, the box. Oh, I'm sorry.

Osono! Osono! I've got a big problem.

I got an invitation to go to a party

at Tombo's flying club.

I'm sure it'll be a great party, Kiki.

No. But my problem is,

what am I going to wear?

Kiki, you haven't got a problem.

You look fine in that.

Besides, it makes you look

beautiful and mysterious.

- Really?

- How's work?

I almost forgot about that.

It's already 4:
00. Oh, no.

Can you watch the store

until I get back, Osono?

Jiji? Jiji?

You were so mad at that boy.

I don't understand

why you're going to his party.

Please don't talk.

I'm trying to fly this broom, okay?

Thank you very much. Bye.

Come on, Jiji.

We can't keep

our next appointment waiting.

There's the blue roof.

Here we are.

My name's Kiki, and someone

telephoned for a delivery service,

so here I am.

Right this way, dear.

- You are right on time.

- Thank you.

Oh, madam, the delivery girl is here.

My, delivery time already?

Come in, dear.

Please make yourself right at home.

- Please do.

- Thanks.

May I take that for you?

Thank you.

Broom and a black cat.

Well, it's just as

my great-grandmother told me.

- My name's Kiki, and I'm a witch.

- Mmm-hmm.

Oh, my, what a pretty witch you are.

I'm so sorry, but that special treat you

were supposed to deliver isn't ready yet.

I think there's something wrong with it.

It's got a mind of its own,

and it doesn't want to heat up.

It's old. Like me, it's seen better days.

I was hoping you'd be able to deliver

a dish to my

granddaughter's birthday party.

It's my specialty,

herring and pumpkin potpie.

But I must admit defeat.

I'll have to phone her

and tell her I'm sorry.

I feel just awful

having you come here for nothing.

Barsa. Barsa.

Would you get Kiki's money, please?

Certainly, madam.

- All of it. Pay her what we agreed on.

- Oh, no, I couldn't.

Please accept it. This was all my fault.

Yes, but...

Ma'am, since I don't have

any other jobs, maybe I can help.

How about we use that old oven

over there?

Well, maybe.

It used to bake beautiful bread,

but I haven't baked in it lately.

Well, if it burns firewood,

I can help you.

I used to help my mom bake all the time.

But it's such a big job to build a fire.

A great idea, ma'am.

I never liked that electric thing.

- I think her plan is perfect.

- Ma'am, it'll work, really.

You think so? All right then. Let's try it.

Don't blame me

if you're late for your party.

I can't take her money and not help out.

Let's go.

Madam, here. Look what I found.

You're a very clever girl, my dear.

Your mother must be proud.

Oh, well, this is exciting.

Mmm-hmm. Yes, this is much better.

It should be about time.

Yes, the fire's almost ready.

Now we wait.

You think 40 minutes

should be about right?

Exactly right.

So why don't we take a little break?

Maybe I can help around the house

while the pie is baking.

Oh. How nice of you to offer.

- What a wonderful witch.

- There we go.

You're never gonna make the party

on time.

Stop worrying-

It'll only take me 15 minutes

if I fly there fast.

Would you like some hot tea?

It's no trouble.

Dear! What did you say to me

was the time of your party?

It's at 6:
00,

but it's only 15 minutes away.

Oh, my goodness. I'm afraid

my clock runs about 10 minutes slow.

- I'm gonna be late.

- Check the potpie and see if it's ready.

Help. Barsa, come.

Quickly! We have to hurry.

Kiki is running very late.

- Is the pie baked? Is it ready?

- It seems fine. Now you'd better hurry.

Uh-huh.

- We're ready. Come on.

- Okay.

Let me pay you for your time.

- But that's much too much.

- Not for all of your help.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

- Have a good time now.

- Here you go.

- Bye-bye.

- Fly carefully.

We can beat the rain

if we just fly a little faster.

Not according to my whiskers.

Could we get out of the rain, please?

I'm begging you.

We can't. That'll make us even later,

and the food will get cold if we stop.

Yes? What do you want?

- I have a delivery.

- But it is soaking wet.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry.

It began to rain on the way.

But don't worry.

The food came through all right.

Oh, no. I told Grandma I didn't want that.

Hey, what'd you get?

Oh, Grandma sent me another one

of her crummy herring pies again.

Mmm, yummy. Herring pie.

Uh, will you please sign this receipt

for me?

I hate Grandma's stupid pies.

I cannot believe they're related.

Maybe we still have time.

Kiki, there he is.

Come on. We can catch him.

Kiki, we were all so worried about you.

And that poor boy waited

such a long time.

It doesn't matter anyway.

I can't go in these wet clothes.

Kiki, what's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

Maybe we should eat something, okay?

Wake up, Kiki.

Hmm?

Not feeling very well, huh?

- You have quite a fever.

- My head's hurting so much.

Well, you flew in that weather

and you never really dried off.

- Do you think I'm going to die, Osono?

- Huh?

No, you're not.

I'll bring some medicine right up,

and maybe you should have

some potpie.

Not that.

Well, then, I'll just make

something else for you.

How about some nice hot oatmeal

with honey in it? You want some, too?

This oatmeal will pick you right up.

There you go. Here.

Now, don't burn your tongue.

You should come and eat your meal

while it's still warm.

- Here it is.

- Do I have to eat it?

Only if you want to get well.

Oh! You know that boy stopped by

to see you again today.

That's right.

When I told him you were sick,

he asked me how a witch

could catch cold in the first place.

Oh. And he said he wanted

to visit you a little later.

Oh, my gosh. No.

Well, I thought you might feel that way,

so I turned him down politely.

You must be tired.

You try to get some sleep.

Now, I'll just open up the window

so you'll have some fresh air.

- Osono?

- Hmm?

Um... Never mind.

Breakfast.

Jiji.

What?

Mmm. Hmm...

- Where are you?

- Kiki?

- Are you feeling better?

- A lot better. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I'd overslept.

That's okay. Come down later.

I have a favor to ask you.

- All right?

- Okay.

- The name is "Koppori"?

- Uh-huh. Now, take this money.

Oh, no, ma'am. No money. It's on me.

Impossible. Work is work,

and make sure you deliver it in person.

Jiji.

- What is it?

- We've got a delivery.

- Hey. Who's your friend there?

- Lily's her name. Be right there.

Stay there. I'll be right back.

He's all yours. Bye-bye.

It's so pretty and warm.

Hey. Hey, there, Miss Witch.

Taking a walk?

Uh-uh. I'm looking for someone

named Koppori.

Hey, that's my name. That's me.

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
