Kiki's Delivery Service Page #5

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.

If you go around that way,

I'll be right with you, okay?

Okay.

Osono, how could you do this to me?

Hi.

Gee, thanks a lot.

About the other night.

I'm sorry I didn't show up.

Huh? Mmm-mmm. I'm sorry

you had to end up so sick like that.

Hey, come over to my place.

There's something I wanna show you.

Oh, you gotta see it.

The party was to celebrate

the completion of this thing.

What do you think?

This is the engine

of a man-propelled plane.

Watch this.

We're going to assemble the wings and

the frame at somebody else's house.

I'm planning on flying this thing

during most of my summer vacation.

Miss Witch, I got a great idea.

Why don't we go down to the beach

where that dirigible landed yesterday?

- Dirigible?

- Don't tell me you didn't hear about it?

- I was sick.

- Then we gotta see it. Let's do it.

- We're going on this?

- Why not?

I have to practice all the time anyway.

Gotta build up my legs.

Okay. Ready?

Um...

- This is my first time on a bike.

- Oh, boy. Just hold on.

Brace the bike with your foot

until I get her revved up. Let's go.

Okay.

Kick off. Now! Good!

- Should I get off?

- No.

Hey, look at that. Whoa.

Bye!

Lean your body to the inside

when we go around the curve.

Why?

Because otherwise

we're gonna have trouble turning.

Now.

Great. You're doing fine.

Now, put your weight into it again.

That's it!

We're quite a team.

All right. We're doing great.

Wow.

- That's the dirigible, right?

- Right.

We're flying.

Oh, my God!

Uh, boy!

What happened, Tombo? Are you okay?

- Yeah. Are you?

- I'm okay.

What are you laughing at?

- Hmm?

- Your face.

Do I really look that funny?

I'm sorry, but when we flew up,

I was so scared.

Yeah, me, too.

Was it your magic

that made us stay up?

I'm not sure. Anything's possible.

Your bike's a real mess.

My propeller. I have to go get it, Kiki.

Will you keep an eye

on my bike for me?

- Uh-huh. What went wrong?

- I think I pedaled too hard.

That's why it busted.

You wait here. I'll be right back.

How great would it be to go

around the world in a dirigible like that?

Of course, you were flying

since you were very young, huh?

Well, yes. Since I was a baby.

My mother used to take me with her.

She taught me never to be scared.

Gosh. You're so lucky, Kiki.

I wish I could fly.

People like you can just fly away

on a broomstick.

But me?

That's all I can do.

Flying used to be fun

until I started doing it for a living.

Hey, wait. You can't not enjoy flying.

You're a witch.

I know. I still feel that way though.

But I'm very glad I came with you today.

I feel much better sitting by the beach.

Why don't I bring you here

whenever you want

and train myself at the same time?

- You're a very nice person.

- Huh? You just found that out?

Sorry. But at first I thought

you were such a clown.

You know, my mom says

the same thing.

"Don't be such a clown.

"Quit looking up at the sky,

and get back to your books."

- Look at him.

- Tombo!

- Hey, Tombo!

- Huh?

- Guess what's up, Tombo?

- What?

Something really great.

You're gonna love it. Come on over.

I'll be back in a sec, okay?

We're all gonna get to go

for a ride in the blimp.

Really? Wow! That's great.

Hey, who's your friend?

That's Kiki. I'll get her to come over.

Hey, come over and meet the gang, Kiki.

We're all going for a tour

inside the Spirit of Freedom.

- Thanks, but I don't want to.

- Oh. Why not? It'll be fun.

She made a delivery

to my house on my birthday.

- You mean, she's working, at her age?

- Well, I'll be.

Come on.

I'll introduce you to everybody.

- No thanks. See you later.

- What's the matter?

Hey!

What are you so mad about?

I'm not mad at all, Tombo.

I have a lot on my mind.

So, please, just leave me alone.

Huh?

Forget her, Tombo. Come on.

And don't forget

that this summer, the hit music...

Jiji, I think something's wrong with me.

I meet a lot of people, and at first

everything seems to be going okay,

but then I start feeling like

such an outsider.

You should have seen

how Tombo's friends looked at me.

Hey, where are you going?

Oh.

Some friend you are.

Kiki's

Delivery Service

Hey! You know,

you can't be late for every meal

just because you have a new girlfriend.

And you can wash your plate yourself.

Why are you talking like a cat?

Huh?

Oh, my.

Oh, no. Talk to me, Jiji.

You mean you can't speak anymore?

Jiji?

What's going on with him?

I can't understand anything

he's trying to say.

What if it means... Oh, my goodness.

I'm losing my witch's powers.

What do you mean?

You haven't lost your magic, have you?

It's become very weak, so I...

Well, I think I've got to take

a break from my delivery work.

But I promise I'll be really good

with my work in the bakery,

so please let me stay

in the room upstairs.

Well, that's no problem.

I'll bet your powers come back

after you've had some rest.

I really don't know.

Maybe if I make a new broom.

Hey. Look at that.

Hi, Kiki. It's me, Tombo.

Did you see me today?

I was waving at you from the dirigible,

'cause the captain let me come into

the control cabin during the test run.

Boy, did I have a cool time.

- Hello? Kiki? Are you there?

- Please don't call me anymore.

What did you say?

I can barely hear you.

You know what the captain said...

What? Kiki? She hung up.

What's the matter, dear?

Is there anything I can do for you?

I'm still in training to become a witch.

If I lose my magic, that means

I've lost absolutely everything.

Kiki.

Uh-huh. It's right over there

across the street.

Kiki? Kiki?

Hey!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Well, since you didn't come

and visit me,

- I thought I'd come here and visit you.

- I'm sorry.

Well, that's sort of a white lie.

I need to do some shopping, too.

Come on in, 'cause I'm done now,

and I can take a break, okay?

You better believe I will.

Nice place you have.

Help yourself to some of these,

and I'll go make us some tea.

No tea, thanks,

but some milk if you have any.

Sure.

Hey, there. Unbelievable.

You're the spitting image

of that stuffed cat.

I bet your name's Jiji, right?

Coming through.

So, how's the delivery biz?

You making any money?

- That bad, huh?

- I'm not working much now.

Mmm-hmm.

Hmm. I kind of thought

you looked unhappy.

I didn't know things like that

happened to witches.

Hey! Why don't you come

and stay at my cabin?

Huh?

It'll probably make you feel better.

Your boss would let you have a break.

How about it, kitty-cat? Wanna come?

Hmm?

Rather be with your girlfriend, huh?

Come on, girl. Why not?

We'll leave now.

Uh-huh.

Come on.

Hurry. Hurry. The bus is leaving.

Okay, now I'm officially exhausted.

It's beautiful here.

What's the matter with you?

Must've been blinded by two

beautiful girls in front of him.

Hey!

Huh? You really thought I was a boy?

Well, it's the way you're dressed

and all.

Tell me. What kind of a boy

has these legs, mister?

- You get along with the crows.

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…
