Mama, she's here!! She was hiding!! \say DORA: Hurry up and catch her!! \say LOUIE: Mama, I'll fall!! \say DORA: That's it -- it's that stone!! Hurry -- into the next room!! It's a Levistone! \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say WOMAN: Scream! \say SHEETA: (Falling) Ah!! \say DORA: Damn -- the Levistone$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Uncle -- put in two meatballs. \say SHOP OWNER: Working a lot of overtime? \say PAZU: After a long time, it's busy. \say WOMAN: Still working?! \say PAZU: Yes. \say PAZU: What's that? \say PAZU: It's a person!! \say PAZU: Wah!! \say BOSS: PAZU!! \say BOSS: What are you doing up there? What about dinner? \say PAZU: Boss!! A -- a girl from the sky!! \say BOSS: Shit! Ouch$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Boss -- a girl from the sky$\ldots$ \say BOSS: Shit --worn-out engines!! \say PAZU: Boss -- a girl from the sky!! \say BOSS: Close the \#2 valve!! \say BOSS: Ouch$\ldots$ Pazu, hand me a wrench. \say PAZU: Yes, sir. \say BOSS: I can't let go!! You do it!! \say PAZU: Huh? \say BOSS: Don't keep the people down below waiting. \say PAZU: Yes, sir! \say BOSS: Keep calm and you can do it. \say PAZU: Yes, sir. \say BOSS: Brake!! \say PAZU: Yes, sir!! Phew$\ldots$ \say ASSAYIST: How was it? \say MINER: It's no use. The silver isn't concentrated anywhere. \say ASSAYIST: Just digging is useless$\ldots$ Shouldn't you have dug to the east? \say MINER: It's full of old holes, over there. \say MINER: We'll just have to do it over again, won't we? \say ASSAYIST: Yes$\ldots$ Please do. \say MINER: That's it$\ldots$ \say BOSS: Put out the boiler fire. Without overtime. These are hard times -- we'll end up starving. \say BOSS: Pazu -- oil that run-down engine. \say PAZU: Yes, Sir. \say CHARLES: It's no use, Mama. We can't find anything in the pitch dark. \say DORA: You think we've searched thoroughly, eh?! \say DORA: There's no evidence $\ldots$ We'll start afresh when it gets light. \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say PAZU: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ Well, how do you feel? Wah! Hey, wait!! Wait, I said!! \say PAZU: I'm Pazu. I live alone in this hut. When I'm done playing, I give them this. \say SHEETA: Ha, ha, ha! \say PAZU: Heh, I'm relieved. \say PAZU: At any rate, you look human. Until a little while ago, I was worried, in case you were an angel by mistake. \say SHEETA: Thanks for saving me. I'm called Sheeta. \say PAZU: Sheeta -- that's a nice name. I was surprised, the way you fell out of the sky. \say SHEETA: I see$\ldots$ Why do you suppose I was saved$\ldots$? After all, I fell out of an airship$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Don't you remember? \say SHEETA: No$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Hm$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Say, will you show me that for a minute? \say SHEETA: This? \say PAZU: Yes. \say SHEETA: It's been handed down in my family from long ago$\ldots$ \say PAZU: A pretty stone, isn't it$\ldots$ Just a second$\ldots$ Hm. Ha, ha, ha! Hitch!! \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Looks like it wasn't this stone after all, eh$\ldots$? Wah! \say SHEETA: Pazu -- ah!! Pazu -- hang on$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Are you OK? \say PAZU: Yes -- and you? \say SHEETA: Fine. Does it hurt? \say PAZU: Yes. My head hurts from Boss's fist. \say SHEETA: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Oh, yeah -- the pot has boiled away. Let's go in and eat!! \say PAZU: You can wash your face over there. There are towels, too. \say SHEETA: Thanks!! \say SHEETA: Laputa$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta!! Sheeta, ready yet$\ldots$? That's a photograph Father took from an airship. \say PAZU: ``Laputa'' is an island floating in the sky. \say SHEETA: An island that floats in the sky? \say PAZU: Yes. And although it's said to be a legend$\ldots$ My father saw it!! \say PAZU: It's the photograph he took then. Although Swift wrote about Laputa in ``Gulliver's Travels'', that was just a day-dream. Father drew this from his imagination! \say PAZU: Now, there's no one living in the palace any more. But a lot of treasure is sleeping there. But nobody believed it. Father died in Sagi, working on it. \say PAZU: But, my father's not a liar. Now I'll make it real -- surely I will go and discover Laputa$\ldots$ Hm? \say PAZU: An automobile -- how rare!! \say SHEETA: They're pirates. \say PAZU: Eh?! \say SHEETA: They're the ones who attacked the airship!! \say PAZU: They're after you? \say SHEETA: Yes. \say PAZU: Hurry -- this way!! \say PAZU: Good morning!! \say LOUIE: Hey!! Wait!! \say PAZU: What? I'm in a hurry, so be quick!! \say LOUIE: Hasn't a girl come to these parts? \say PAZU: She came yesterday, to Boss's place -- baby Madge!! \say LOUIE: Shit!! A coincidence!! \say PAZU: Bye!! \say PAZU: They're after Sheeta, after all. \say MAN: Louie -- It's a girl's dress!! \say LOUIE: Disguised?! You tell Mama!! \say BOSS: Haven't seen her$\ldots$ \say CHARLES: A pretty girl, with dark hair in braids? \say PAZU: Boss!! Boss!! \say CHARLES: Just about that age$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say CHARLES: Mmm!? \say LOUIE: Brother!! That's her!! \say PAZU: They're pirates! They're after this girl. \say MADGE: Pirates! Look! \say BOSS: That's far enough. \say CHARLES: We'll get her. \say BOSS: Pirates? \say CHARLES: The Dora Clan. \say BOSS: You won't go back? There are only poor people here. \say PAZU: Wah!! \say PAZU: Okami!! \say OKAMI: During this interval, escape out the back!! \say PAZU: I'll fight, too!! \say OKAMI: They have weapons. \say PAZU: But$\ldots$ \say OKAMI: Be a good boy, won't you? Protect her. \say CHARLES: In any case, we'll get her somehow. \say BOSS: If you're a man, settle it with fists. \say HENRI: Amusing. Do it, Brother! \say CROWD: (Claps) OH!! \say MAN: Oh, my -- show him, Daffy! \say LOUIE: Amazing$\ldots$ \say OKAMI: Who sewed that shirt? \say CHARLES: Ooh!! \say MAN: Don't be beaten!! Go!! \say LOUIE AND HENRI: Brother, don't give up! \say HENRI: Go!! Go!! Eh? \say DORA: They think they can fool me? Follow them!! \say PAZU: Hey!! Get on!! \say PAZU: Good!! \say ENGINEER: Pazu -- skipping out on work for a day? \say PAZU: We're being followed by ruffians. \say ENGINEER: Oh$\ldots$? \say PAZU: It's the Dora Clan$\ldots$ \say ENGINEER: Pirates? Boy! \say PAZU: Let us ride as far as the next city, and we'll go for the police. \say ENGINEER: All right. Help out as a stoker!! \say PAZU: Sure. \say LOUIE AND HENRI: Mama!! \say DORA: These stupid sons of mine -- hurry up and get in!! \say LOUIE: Eh$\ldots$?! But the girl's over there. \say DORA: She's already gone out the back door. Don't stop. \say HENRI: Brother$\ldots$ \say MEN: Wait!! \say ENGINEER: Pazu --they've remembered. \say PAZU: Uncle -- can't this go any faster? \say ENGINEER: It's pretty old. \say DORA: Let's change!! \say LOUIE: Mama -- I'm falling!! \say ENGINEER: Raise the steam --they're gaining on us!! \say LOUIE: Go there!! \say PAZU: Sheeta -- this way!! \say PAZU: Take care of the stoking!! \say SHEETA: Yes. \say DORA: Don't give up!! \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Shit!! \say DORA: Push!! Keep pushing!! \say DORA: Wait!! They won't get away. Don't just sit there -- push this thing into the bottom of the valley!! \say DORA'S SONS: Eh?? \say ENGINEER: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ There -- run fast!! \say PAZU: I'll do it. \say SHEETA: Yes -- we'll do it. \say DORA: Wait!! \say LOUIE: It's THEM, Mama$\ldots$ What'll we do$\ldots$? \say DORA: As I see it, are we supposed to bow out?? We start at once!! \say ENGINEER: Hey, we're stuck. It's the army's doing. \say ENGINEER: Hey, please help out these kids. They're being followed by pirates. \say PAZU: Sheeta$\ldots$? \say SHEETA: Bye! \say DARK GLASSES: Wait!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say SOLDIER: Stop!! \say SOLDIER: Stop or I'll shoot!! \say HENRI: It's an armored tank!! \say DORA: I don't care! Ram it!! \say PAZU: Sheeta -- what in the world's the matter!! \say SHEETA: Don't ask!! \say DORA: Shit!! \say LOUIE: They'll fall!! \say DORA: Be quiet -- watch closely!! \say PAZU: We're floating!! \say DORA: You saw it, didn't you -- the power of the Levistone!! \say PAZU: It's the power in that stone, after all!! Amazing!! \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say PAZU: It's OK. This way we'll go to the bottom. \say DORA: AMAZING!! I want it$\ldots$! \say SOLDIER: Fire!! \say DORA: Excellent!! I WILL get my hands on it!! \say SHEETA: It's going out$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Wah -- wait$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It did that when you came floating down, too, Sheeta. The entrance looks so small$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: I hope nothing awful happens to your Boss, or the Engineer$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It's OK. The miners aren't all that soft. Well, let's go. Shouldn't we look for the exit? Since long ago, the mine's been full of holes over here. \say SHEETA: I'm glad -- I was awfully hungry. \say PAZU: Later, there's one apple, and two sweets. \say SHEETA: Wow$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu's bag is like a magic bag. It gives out everything. \say PAZU: Gondoa $\ldots$? That's right in the heart of the northern mountains, isn't it? \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ Although Mother and Father died, they left me the house and farm, and I managed alone, somehow$\ldots$ \say PAZU: You were kidnapped by those ``Dark Glasses''? \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ \say PAZU: And that same man from a little while ago? Who could it be$\ldots$ With such an army$\ldots$ Both Dora and the Dark Glasses want to get the stone, don't they? \say SHEETA: But I had no idea there was such a mysterious power in this stone. \say SHEETA: It has always been handed down in my family, since ancient times. Mother gave it to me when she died, telling me never to give it to strangers, or to show it to them. \say PAZU: Hm. Neither one of us has parents. \say SHEETA: Forgive me, for getting you mixed up in my troubles, Pazu. \say PAZU: Sure. When you fell from the sky, my heart was pounding. \say PAZU: Surely, it started a wonderful thing. \say POM: Imps $\ldots$ It's imps$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Grandpa Pom!! It's OK. He's a very nice man. Grandpa Pom -- we're lost!! \say POM: At last$\ldots$ Pazu looked just like an imp$\ldots$ And a lit- tle girl imp, too, I fear. \say PAZU: We're being chased by pirates. \say POM: Oh$\ldots$? \say PAZU: And by the army, too. \say POM: Indeed$\ldots$ Ho, ho$\ldots$ Well, intrepid, aren't you$\ldots$ \say POM: Well, help yourself. \say SHEETA: Thanks. Grandpa, do you always stay underground? \say POM: Ho, ho, ho $\ldots$ Impossible! Since last night, the stones have been making a mysterious commotion$\ldots$ \say POM: I'd like them to quiet down in time. \say PAZU: The rock makes noise $\ldots$ ? \say POM: Ho, ho, ho$\ldots$ The stones have small voices $\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Wow$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Amazing$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu -- look up. \say PAZU: But, until a little while ago, it was just rock$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: It's pretty. \say POM: Now, let's have a look. \say PAZU AND SHEETA: Wow! \say SHEETA: It went out. \say POM: There are Levistones inside the rocks around here. \say PAZU: Levistones $\ldots$? \say POM: This happens immediately when it touches the air. It ends up becoming just like a rock$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: It's glowing$\ldots$ \say POM: This -- I'm amazed!! That's a Levistone crystal$\ldots$ I, too, am beginning to see$\ldots$ It's no wonder the stones are agitated$\ldots$!! \say SHEETA: There's a wonderful power in this stone. \say POM: So long ago, only the people of Laputa had the power of cry- stallization. \say SHEETA: The people of Laputa$\ldots$ \say POM: Then, it floated in the sky over Dekkai Island$\ldots$ \say PAZU: There really was a Laputa, Sheeta!! It exists, after all. \say SHEETA: Grandpa, do you think that island is there now? \say PAZU: Grandpa Pom? \say POM: S -- sorry, but could you put away that stone? It's too strong for me$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Y -- Yes!! \say PAZU: What's the matter, Grandpa? \say POM: My Grandpa told me$\ldots$ When the stones are noisy, it's because Laputa is over the mines. \say PAZU: So$\ldots$! If we go up into the sky at that time, we can see Laputa!! Sheeta, Father wasn't lying!! \say POM: Um, little girl$\ldots$ That is$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Yes? \say POM: I tell others about those stones because that's how I make a living, but the power that the stone has to bring people luck, seems to invite bad luck$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Yes. \say POM: Still more, that stone was made by human hands. Pay atten- tion to that$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It's not like that!! That stone has saved Sheeta twice already, hasn't it! \say PAZU: It's amazing!! Laputa is real. \say LOUIE: They've gone. Let's go back to the ship, Mama$\ldots$ \say DORA: Keep quiet. \say DORA: We shouldn't move for the time being. \say CHARLES: I'm hungry$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It's OK -- let's go. \say SHEETA: Thanks, Grandpa. \say POM: Be careful. \say PAZU: Wow -- amazing clouds. Beyond the peaks of those clouds, where nothing can be seen, the island is floating.. . \say PAZU: I'll do it!! I'll see Laputa for sure! \say SHEETA: Pazu$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Hm$\ldots$? \say SHEETA: There's something I still haven't told you$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: There's an old, secret name in my family. When I inherited this stone, I inherited that name as well$\ldots$ My inherited name is Lusheeta$\ldots$ Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Laputa$\ldots$ Th -- that's$\ldots$! It's the army!! Run, Sheeta! \say PAZU: Run to the cave!! \say SOLDIER: Don't move$\ldots$ \say PAZU: What are you doing!? P.41 \say SHEETA: Ah -- Pazu!! Let me go$\ldots$ (chomp) \say DARK GLASSES: Ah!! \say SHEETA: Pazu! Pazu! Pazu! Pazu! \say SOLDIER: We've picked them up. \say MOOSKA: Gave you a lot of trouble, eh? \say PAZU: Open up! Open up! \say PAZU: Sheeta$\ldots$ \say GENERAL: Sluggish!! If we lock up a little girl like that, she'll talk at once!! \say MOOSKA: That's the bad habit of the government. \say MOOSKA: Hurry the matter, and both the girl and the investment will suffer, Your Excellency. \say GENERAL: Hmph!! If we'd mobilized the troops in the first place, Dora wouldn't have stolen a march on us. \say MOOSKA: Your Excellency, the elementary code was deciphered. \say GENERAL: What!? \say MOOSKA: This is work for my agents. If Your Excellency would move the troops at the necessary time, then fine. \say GENERAL: Mooska!! I am the commander of the Laputa investigation. Don't forget it! \say MOOSKA: Of course. And Itake secret orders from the government, don't forget. \say GENERAL: Shit! Special NOVICE!! \say MOOSKA: Did you sleep well? \say SHEETA: Where's Pazu?! I want to see Pazu!! \say MOOSKA: Don't you like fashionable clothes? Don't worry about him. That rock-head is harder than mine. Look -- right or wrong, there's something I want you to see. Go in. \say SHEETA: This. . . \say MOOSKA: It has terrible destructive power. It's a robot soldier. \say MOOSKA: If this fellow hadn't come falling out of the sky, nobody would have believed in Laputa$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: This one wasn't made on the Earth's surface. And this body -- metallic? Ceramic? Our scientists don't know aboutthat. Look at this$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: Don't be afraid. This one has been dead from the beginning. Here. The same sign that was on the old fireplace in your home. And on this necklace, eh$\ldots$? \say MOOSKA: This stone won't work except in your hands. The stone, inherited by you, will protect its owner, until the day you return to Laputa in the sky, when it will show you the way. \say SHEETA: But, I don't know anything!! \say SHEETA: If you want the stone, tell me!! \say SHEETA: Leave us alone$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: You think Laputa is kind of a "Treasure Island", don't you? Laputa is in the sky because of a formerly impressive scien- tific power. It controlled the whole surface of the Earth. It was an empire of fear!! \say MOOSKA: If a thing like that is still roving the sky, is it not a danger to peace? I think you understand. I'd like you to help me. Laputa's location is in the Levistone. You must know an incantation? Or something. \say SHEETA: I really don't know$\ldots$ Let me see Pazu$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: I don't like to be violent. That young man's fate is in your hands. If you help us, I'll set that young man free, Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa. \say SHEETA: How do you know that $\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: ``Ul'' means ``King'' in Laputan. ``Toelle'' is ``True''. You arethe rightful successor of the Laputan royal family -- Queen Lusheeta. \say PAZU: Ouch$\ldots$ \say GUARD: Come out. \say PAZU: Sheeta! \say SHEETA: Pazu -- are you hurt? \say PAZU: I'm OK. But you!? They haven't done anything terrible to you, have they?! \say MOOSKA: Pazu -- I was quite mistaken about you. Please forgive me. I didn't know that you fought hard to protect her from pirates. \say PAZU: Sheeta -- what in the world$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu -- I beg you. Forget about Laputa. \say PAZU: What!? \say MOOSKA: The situation has become such that the army will investigate Laputa in secret with Sheeta's help. I understand how you feel, but I'd like you to keep ``hands off'' somehow. \say PAZU: Sheeta -- is it true? But$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Forgive me. For troubling you so many ways. Thank you. I'll never forget you, Pazu$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It can't be -- Sheeta -- didn't you promise? \say SHEETA: Goodbye. \say PAZU: Sheeta!! Wait, Sheeta!! \say MOOSKA: If you want to be a man, too, then listen to reason!! \say PAZU: SHEETA!! \say MOOSKA: This is small, but it's heartfelt thanks. Take it and go. \say MOOSKA: Please remember the words to make this stone work$\ldots$ If you keep your promise, you'll be set free, too$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu$\ldots$ \say MADGE: Shoo -- Shoo! Mama -- it's Pazu. Pazu came back!! \say OKAMI: Pazu -- I've been worried. I haven't seen you since that time. What happened to that little girl? \say PAZU: She's all right. \say OKAMI: Eh?! Pazu!! \say PAZU: Wah -- let me go -- what are you doing! \say DORA: Just borrowing for a little while, my boy. \say PAZU: Get out!! This is my house!! \say DORA: Big talk, eh, for a brat who can't protect a little girl by himself$\ldots$ \say HENRI: Look at how much money he's got!! \say DORA: Oh, dear -- you sold the girl for money? \say PAZU: You're wrong!! Would I do a thing like that?! \say DORA: I don't suppose you'll say how you got the money? \say PAZU: Sheeta told me to take it!! So, I $\ldots$ \say DORA: So you grew timid, and came back shamelessly? And yet, you call yourself a man!?! Eh?? \say PAZU: Don't brag!! Weren't you trying to get hold of Sheeta, then?! \say DORA: Of course. Pirates try to get treasure, and where's the harm!! They're strange fellows. Why do they repeatedly kidnap the girl? \say DORA: Do you think they'll let the girl live? Did ``Sheeta say so''? Idiot! Wasn't she intimidated into settling with them to save you? \say CHARLES: You understand well, don't you, Mama? \say DORA: I haven't been a woman for 50 years for appearance's sake. \say DORA: Aren't you crying? To save a man -- heartless behavior. Just like my young heart. All of you -- if you marry, find a nice girl like her. \say LOUIE: Heh!? Is she like Mama, that girl? \say DORA: No good -- they've changed the code $\ldots$!! They've sum- moned a warship. \say DORA: They'll depart with the girl on board . And if we don't hurry, it will get out of our reach $\ldots$ We'll set out. How long were we eating? \say PAZU: Are you going to go kidnap Sheeta? \say HENRI: The girl is useless -- it's the Levistone! \say PAZU: But, the Levistone by itself is useless!! If Sheeta doesn't hold that stone, it doesn't work!! \say PAZU: Auntie -- won't you take me with you?! I want to save Sheeta. \say DORA: Don't be spoiled. If you go, you do things with your own strength. \say PAZU: I will. I'm not a fool. If I have the strength, I'll pro- tect her. The treasure of Laputa is not useless. Please$\ldots$ \say LOUIE: Oho, you've made her cry$\ldots$ \say DORA: Shut up!! \say LOUIE: Y -- yes. .. \say DORA: We don't know if the girl will listen to what we have to say, do we? We can't go there twice. \say PAZU: Understood. \say DORA: I expected as much!! \say PAZU: Yes! \say DORA: Don't take more than 40 seconds. \say PAZU: All of you -- take care. \say DORA: Fasten yourself onto me with this belt. You all, wait on the ship. \say GENERAL: It's an excellent ship. Mooska -- has the girl confessed? \say MOOSKA: I need a little more time. \say GENERAL: I don't care! There'll be time enough in the air. With nightfall, I'll put the girl on board and depart. \say DORA: If we dawdle, night will fall!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say GRANDMA: That's too bad. So, Sheeta, I want to tell you something good. A spell for times of trouble. \say YOUNG SHEETA: A spell? \say GRANDMA: That's right. Very old, secret words. ``Leete Latobarita Uruth Ariaroth Bal Netoreel.'' \say YOUNG SHEETA: Leete$\ldots$ La$\ldots$? \say GRANDMA: It's to save us. It is a wish -- ``Light, be reborn.'' Leete Latobarita Uruth Ariaroth Bal Netoreel. \say SHEETA: Leete Latobarita Uruth Ariaroth Bal Netoreel$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Aaah?!! \say MOOSKA: Excellent!! It was in an old manuscript -- this light is a holy light$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Holy light$\ldots$? \say MOOSKA: What kind of incantation is it? Tell me those words. \say GUARDS: Hey?! \say GUARD: It moved!! Yah!! The robot -- the robot's alive. Hello?!! \say GUARDS: Save us! It's crazy! \say GUARDS: It's moving. Put out the fire. It's the robot!! \say MOOSKA: The robot! ? \say MOOSKA: Where does it think it's going?! ? \say VOICE: Hurry!! \say MOOSKA: Amazing!! I see!! \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say MOOSKA: It's that light!! The seal on the robot was broken by the holy light. It has opened the way to Laputa!! Come here!! \say SHEETA: NO!! \say MOOSKA: It thinks it can fly?! \say DARK GLASSES: It's crazy!! \say SHEETA: It's piercing the sky$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: Laputa is in the same direction as that light. Not ready yet? Hurry up! \say GENERAL: Use the blasting powder?! Idiot -- do you want to blow up this fort?! \say GENERAL: Hm!? Hello? Hello?? Hey -- what's wrong!! \say DARK GLASSES 1: Good. \say DARK GLASSES 2: It's connected. \say MOOSKA: This is Captain Mooska. Because of the robot, the communi- cations circuits have been destroyed. Take emergency action. I will temporarily take command . \say MOOSKA: The robot is trying to get to the girl on the East tower. Kill it the moment it's shown itself. Leave the fuses off the shells. Don't hurt the girl. \say GUARD: Hurry! Hurry! \say SOLDIER: Fire! \say VOICES: We did it! Forward! Hurry! \say SOLDIER 1: Ha, ha -- it's flattened. \say SOLDIER 2: Amazing$\ldots$ \say SOLDIER 3: Get the girl. \say SOLDIER 4: Is she dead? \say SOLDIER 5: Hey -- get up. \say SHEETA: Ah$\ldots$ \say SOLDIER 6: She's just fainted. Hey, stand up. \say SOLDIER: It -- it moved. .. \say SOLDIERS: Wah! Run! \say PAZU: Ah!! \say DORA: What's the matter -- looks just like a war. \say PAZU: Let's go, Auntie! \say DORA: Call me Captain!! Charles, fly a little lower, can't you? \say SHEETA: Stop!! Stop, already!! \say SHEETA: Please!! \say LOUIE: Mama -- the Goliath has started to move!! \say DORA: As it is, if they go, we'll end up flying into their blast- ing powder. We'll start anew. \say PAZU: There she is -- it's Sheeta. \say DORA: What? Where?! \say PAZU: As I see it, go straight ahead. She's on the top of the small tower!! \say DORA: The girl is brave!! You all, cover us!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! Sheeta, go now!! \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Auntie, a little closer!! Wah! \say SHEETA: Pazu!! Ah!! LET ME GO! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say PAZU: Auntie!! \say SHEETA: Pazu! \say SHEETA: Ah$\ldots$ PAZU!! \say PAZU: Go up!! \say DORA: It's our last chance. If we brush past, catch hold!! \say PAZU: Yes. \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Great!! \say DORA: Go!! \say MOOSKA: Get out of the way!! Damn!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say MOOSKA: Shit. What is the Goliath doing? Ah!! \say MOOSKA: A smoke screen$\ldots$? \say GENERAL: Mooska -- what happened to the robot?! \say MOOSKA: The robot was destroyed. The girl is out there. \say GENERAL: What!? Look sharp -- put out the fires! Form search parties!! \say MOOSKA: Don't lose the holy light. \say MOOSKA: It shows the direction of Laputa$\ldots$ Inform the General, and we will depart for Laputa in the planned direction. \say LOUIE: Nice, isn't she$\ldots$ \say CHARLES: Do you believe it$\ldots$? That girl looks like she's becoming like Mama. \say DORA: It's your valley. Really, it's absurd; you were a useless limb. \say PAZU: Say$\ldots$ Auntie, please let us ride on your ship. \say DORA: Call me Captain!! You don't have the Levistone. To let you on board is special. \say PAZU: We'll repay you. \say SHEETA: I certainly want to see the real Laputa with my own eyes. \say DORA: Hmph. And if the treasure is useless$\ldots$ ? I certainly want to see the true character of Laputa. Your motive to ride on a pirate ship is impure. \say LOUIE: Mama -- can she come along? \say DORA: If there's any strange mockery, I'll throw you into the sea at once!! \say PAZU: Yes! \say LOUIE: We did it! A live-in charwoman. \say HENRI: A dishwasher!! \say CHARLES: A potato peeler!! \say ALL: Yeah! Whew! \say CHARLES: Can you make pudding? \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ \say LOUIE: I like mincemeat pie!! \say HENRI: And me$\ldots$ Well, now, let me see$\ldots$ I'll eat anything!! \say DORA: Behave yourselves! Really! Still just children. \say DORA: Don't fall!! \say PAZU: It's cloth strips!! \say PAZU: This ship is made of cloth strips!! \say DORA: Don't ruin it. \say PAZU: WAH! \say LOUIE: Don't loiter!! It's cramped. \say SHEETA: Wah!! \say DORA: Hurry up -- this way!! I hate shirkers!! \say LOUIE: You -- this way. \say PAZU: Wah!! \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say DORA: Can't eat yet. Come on!! \say LOUIE: You didn't come here to play!! \say PAZU: It's an amazing engine. \say LOUIE: Where'd he go? Uncle! Uncle!! Uncle -- hey, it's the assistant you wanted. \say ENGINEER: Not so loud. I can hear you. \say LOUIE: Go. He's worse than Mama. Be careful. \say ENGINEER: It's so cramped, my hand won't go in. \say PAZU: It's this packing, isn't it. .. \say ENGINEER: Your name? \say PAZU: Pazu. \say DORA: It's almost due East, isn't it, the direction that the light from the Levistone gave. No mistake, is there? \say SHEETA: From the tower where I was, I could see the sun rise. Right now is the next mowing season, therefore$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: The sunrise is moving a little to the south of due East, because the light of the sun rose to the left of the hills. . . \say DORA: A good reply. How're things up there? \say RADIO OPERATOR: Neither yea nor nay. \say DORA: So, they're jamming the radio to hide their whereabouts, are they?! \say HENRI: Mama, the Goliath's way is a fast pace!! What'll we do? \say DORA: We'll be on their windward side. If we use the trade winds. . . This is it. The East electronic computer. The Goliath has already departed for Laputa! \say DORA: With wind speed 10$\ldots$ We'll do it somehow. Everybody, listen up!! Our ship will now commence pursuit!! \say DORA: If we use the wind, we should be able to make contact tomorrow!! And I'll give 10 gold pieces to the first spotter!! \say CHARLES: 10 gold pieces$\ldots$ \say DORA: Laputa is some sort of island, I guess. There must be enough treasure to comfort us pirates. So! Everybody$\ldots$GET TO WORK!! \say ENGINEER: There!! \say DORA: Course 98. Velocity 40!! \say DORA: There's nothing in that size!! Put this on!! \say DORA: It's your post. \say LOUIE: Good!! \say DORA: Meals are 5 times a day. Economize on the water. \say MEN: WAH!! \say DORA: These fools!! Can't you do your work at once?? \say SHEETA: Come in. Sorry, there's no dinner yet. \say LOUIE: Heh, heh, heh$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: My first airship kitchen$\ldots$ Do you want something? \say LOUIE: Well $\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Yes? \say LOUIE: No, no -- I have some spare time, so I thought I'd be of some help$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Well, thank you. Would you do that washing? \say LOUIE: Easy$\ldots$ OOP! \say LOUIE: A little while ago, you said your back hurt$\ldots$ \say CHARLES: I had some spare time and thought I'd help. . . \say MAN 1: Out of the way. \say CHARLES: Don't shirk. .. \say MAN 2: Don't get in the way. \say MAN 3: Shit -- what hurt your back? \say HENRI: Hey -- can I be of some help$\ldots$!?! \say ENGINEER: Dora was scared too, eh? And with the Goliath to help them. . . It's hopeless$\ldots$ \say DORA: Hmph! It's the island of Laputa, so it's no wonder . \say ENGINEER: Heh, heh$\ldots$ Certainly they're good kids, those two.. . \say DORA: What does he want me to say? This damned old man$\ldots$ \say ENGINEER: Help the enemy, too. Please don't respect! ( ? ) \say DORA: What!! \say ENGINEER: No$\ldots$ Hey$\ldots$ Checkmate, isn't it? \say MEN: It's good! Yum! Delicious. \say SHEETA: Well$\ldots$ If anyone wants seconds$\ldots$ \say MAN: Um$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Yes. \say VOICES: Seconds!! Seconds!! Seconds!! \say LOUIE: Hey!! Get up. It's arrival time. Take this with you -- it's cold!! \say PAZU: The lookout$\ldots$? \say LOUIE: Yes $\ldots$ Phew -- cold!! You're up top. \say PAZU: Yes. \say PAZU: I'm second shift. \say LOOKOUT: Thanks. \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say SHEETA: Wow -- I was scared!! Wow!! \say SHEETA: Pretty$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta$\ldots$ Get in. \say DORA: Can't sleep$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ It's warm$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta, look behind. \say SHEETA: Yes $\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Hm? \say SHEETA: I'm scared beyond words$\ldots$ The truth is, I don't want to go to Laputa at all. I hope we don't find the Goliath. \say PAZU: Well$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Um$\ldots$ The direction that the light pointed at, is really. . . Well $\ldots$ \say PAZU: And that incident with the robot$\ldots$ It was pitiful, wasn't it? \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ What a thing to happen, from an incantation taught to me by my grandmother$\ldots$ I learned many other incanta- tions, too. To find things, and to cure illness $\ldots$ And words I must absolutely never use. \say PAZU: Words you must absolutely never use$\ldots$? \say SHEETA: Spells of destruction, good spells to bestow power. . . She said I must know the bad words, too, but never use them. \say SHEETA: When I was taught, I couldn't sleep for fear$\ldots$ I was never to take out that stone$\ldots$ So it was always hidden in the fireplace, and except at weddings, never used$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Mother, and Grandmother, and Grandmother's Grandmother -- everybody came to do so$\ldots$ I hope we can save such a stone quickly$\ldots$ \say PAZU: You're wrong. Thanks to that stone, I met Sheeta. By sav- ing that stone, Laputa won't be lost. Quickly progressing in the flying machine, when will someone discover it? \say PAZU: Yet, what shall we do if Laputa is really a terrible island? It looks like Mooska must not deliver the others to it$\ldots$ Besides$\ldots$ If we run away now, we'll be followed all the time. \say SHEETA: But, I don't want to make Pazu a pirate for my sake$\ldots$ \say PAZU: I won't become a pirate . \say PAZU: Even Dora understands . She appears to be a good person$\ldots$ When this is all over, surely she'll send you to Gondoa .. . I want to see it$\ldots$ The old house where Sheeta was born, and the yaks$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Oh, Pazu$\ldots$ \say PAZU: What's that!! Underneath the ship -- hey, there!! \say PAZU: It's the Goliath -- it's right below us!! \say DORA: Starboard -- run!! P.60 \say GENERAL: Mooska -- why aren't we chasing them? Let them get away, and we've got trouble. \say MOOSKA: It's no good, in the clouds. Let them -- at any rate, they won't run far! \say MOOSKA: The navigation research is going smoothly. \say DORA: As expected, the course was north. Pazu -- there's no time -- listen up!! If we don't shake off the Goliath, it's the end. You have good eyes; only the lookout post$\ldots$ If we go out of the clouds, they'll pursue. \say PAZU: What should I do? \say DORA: That lookout post will turn into a kite. There should be a handle inside. \say PAZU: Found it!! \say DORA: If you turn it clockwise, the hook will catch. If you turn the upper handle, the wings will open$\ldots$! \say DORA: If it's open, don't stretch the wire. Remember, steer with your body!! \say DORA: Sheeta's up there, isn't she!! \say SHEETA: Yes!! \say DORA: You come back down!! \say SHEETA: Why? \say DORA: ``WHY''?? You're a little girl!! \say SHEETA: Hey, Auntie, you're a girl, too!! Besides, I'm mountain- bred -- I have good eyes, too. \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say SHEETA: (Please!) Pazu thinks so, too!! \say DORA: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ If you go up, don't use the voice tube. Because there's an internal telephone. \say SHEETA: Is this the phone you were talking about, Auntie? \say CHARLES: Wow$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Yes -- we'll try. Let us up!! \say DORA: Go!! \say SHEETA: It's not here, is it. \say PAZU: They've dived into the clouds. \say DORA: Don't be careless. They don't have to be in front of us. \say PAZU: Yes!! \say SHEETA: Yah!! \say PAZU: Hang on tight!! \say DORA: What's wrong!! \say PAZU: It's turbulence -- we're ok!! \say PAZU: Just a little stirred up!! Yes!! I'll continue the watch. Scared? \say SHEETA: Yes. \say PAZU: I've gotten the hang of how to do it. \say PAZU: It's a little stormy. Sheeta, get the string out of my suitcase. \say SHEETA: Yes. \say PAZU: Tie us together with it.. . \say SHEETA: Sure!! \say LOUIE: The barometer is falling rapidly, Mama$\ldots$ \say DORA: Unlucky, eh? What a time to get stormy. How long until sunset? \say CHARLES: One hour!! \say PAZU: It's sunset!! \say SHEETA: Pazu, it's strange, the sunset coming from the side$\ldots$ \say PAZU: I see!! We must be moving towards the east!! Bridge!! \say DORA: Eh!? Go north, you say!? \say CHARLES: The compass is pointing north!! \say DORA: The wind's changed. The course has gone wrong!! \say SHEETA: Look -- there!! \say DORA: What's the matter -- the Goliath?! \say PAZU: It's the clouds. They're awfully big$\ldots$ \say DORA: The clouds! ? \say SHEETA: They're coming this way!! \say PAZU: It's a sky castle. . . \say DORA: THAT'S a low pressure center!! The ship can't stand the wind. Full power! It's dragging!! \say PAZU: We're rapidly being drawn closer. \say DORA: Don't persevere -- we can't take it!! \say PAZU: WAH!! \say CHARLES: The rudder won't move!! \say DORA: Always the damn power -- what's the problem!! \say ENGINEER: Dora -- the engine will burn up. \say DORA: I don't want to hear any complaints, all right? Do it, somehow or other!! \say DORA: Get out of the clouds!! \say PAZU: Sheeta -- It's the ocean!! \say SHEETA: Eh?? \say DORA: The Dragon's Nest!! \say PAZU: The Dragon's Nest!? This$\ldots$? \say PAZU: The wind there is blowing in the wrong direction, just like Father said. \say DORA: That way is a wall of wind!! \say CHARLES: So much for the return trip. \say DORA: We'll be sucked in. The man simply won't give up. \say PAZU: Bridge!! Laputa is in here!! \say DORA: What! ? \say PAZU: Father saw Laputa in the Dragon's Nest!! \say DORA: You're crazy!! If we go in, we'll be shaken to pieces!! \say SHEETA: Pazu -- over there!! \say PAZU: Ah!! \say DORA: At a damn busy time like this!! \say PAZU: Let's go, Auntie!! It's the way Father talked about. Father came back!! \say DORA: ALL RIGHT!! Let's go -- into the Dragon's Nest!! \say PAZU: Ah!! \say GENERAL: Yeah, we did it!! \say MAN: Our ship is in danger, too. I will retreat. \say MOOSKA: Progress just as before!! MAN Hunh?! \say MOOSKA: The light always indicates the center of the whirling clouds. Laputa is inside the storm. Didn't you hear me: Progress just as before. There is certainly an entrance. \say PAZU: Let's go, Sheeta!! \say SHEETA: Yes!! \say PAZU: (Father!) \say PAZU: Sheeta$\ldots$ Sheeta! Are you OK? \say PAZU: Look$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Laputa $\ldots$? \say PAZU: Yes. 0h -- sorry!! \say SHEETA: Wait$\ldots$ Still pretty tightly knotted. My hands are shak- ing.. . \say PAZU: We did it!! \say BOTH: WAH!! Ha, ha, ha $\ldots$ \say PAZU: There are birds$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: What do you suppose happened to everyone$\ldots$? \say PAZU: It's coming to meet you, Sheeta$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: But I don't have the Levistone $\ldots$ \say PAZU: A knife will do it$\ldots$ \say PAZU: What are you doing!! \say SHEETA: Wait! Please, don't break that. Without that, we can't go back. \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say SHEETA: It's a Hitaki nest!! \say PAZU: For this $\ldots$! ? \say SHEETA: Oh, good, the eggs aren't broken $\ldots$ \say PAZU: Not afraid of people, are they$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Let's follow. \say PAZU: Do you know the words? \say SHEETA: Just don't worry about that! \say PAZU: Wow!! \say PAZU: It's a city!! \say PAZU: But we must be inside the buildings$\ldots$ Sheeta, that sky. . . \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ \say PAZU: But it looked like stone walls from the outside$\ldots$ It was a splendid city. If science was progressing all the while, why$\ldots$? \say PAZU: It's a tomb, isn't it$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Although the forgotten writing is legible$\ldots$ Is it your doing? Pazu!! \say PAZU: It's not the same robot as before$\ldots$ \say PAZU: It must be a gardening robot. Because there weren't any people, all the time, it was standing guard here$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: You came to pick flowers to offer before a tomb$\ldots$ Thank you$\ldots$ \say PAZU: You're all alone? Aren't there any other robots here?! \say PAZU: Ha, ha$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Doesn't look lonely at all, does it$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: It has friends$\ldots$ Inspecting the Hitaki nest, too, it won't die$\ldots$ time. \say PAZU: This way!! \say PAZU: The back face has crumbled. \say PAZU: The Tiger Moth has been defeated. \say SHEETA: Auntie and the others are probably OK. \say PAZU: Sheeta -- over there!! \say SHEETA: Ah$\ldots$ Everyone is caught!! \say PAZU: They tied up the pirates at once. \say SHEETA: Can't we rescue them?! \say PAZU: Let's go!! \say MAN: We've opened a way into the city. Please observe -- there's a mountain of treasure inside!! \say GENERAL: Phew$\ldots$ \say LOUIE: Wow... \say GENERAL: How do you like this? Do you want it? You'll all get enough -- rope! \say GENERAL: Did you notify our country of the discovery of Laputa? \say MOOSKA: I'll do it now. \say GENERAL: Try to set up a difficult code. Hey -- don't embezzle!! \say MOOSKA: The fools are just blind enough. \say SHEETA: Amazing tree roots$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta, you climb trees calmly, eh? Let's go. \say PAZU: Doing terrible things$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: If they go to the upper gardens$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta, let's get back the Levistone. \say PAZU: Only that will protect this place from those rascals. Why have the clouds cleared? I'm worried$\ldots$ \say PAZU: If it hadn't been like this, they wouldn't have been able to land. \say SHEETA: The effect of my spell$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Surely this is what Mooska said, about ``the seal being broken.'' \say PAZU: Already this castle is awakened, because the holder of the Levistone approached, riding on the storm. As it stands, then, Mooska will become King. After the plunder, very ter- rible things will start to happen. \say SHEETA: But how should I get the Levistone back $\ldots$ ? Those words $\ldots$ \say PAZU: Those words? Impossible$\ldots$ But$\ldots$ \say PAZU: We'll go around from below. \say PAZU: I'll jump first. \say SHEETA: Yes$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Ah!! \say MOOSKA: It's around here. \say SHEETA: Dear God$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: This is it!! \say DARK GLASSES: Oh!! \say DARK GLASSES: It's that brat! \say DARK GLASSES: 0h!! \say PAZU: Damn?!! \say MOOSKA: Don't shoot -- I'll catch her! \say SHEETA: Ah!! \say MOOSKA: This, this isn't a queen?! \say PAZU: Sheeta! Shit$\ldots$ \say SOLDIER: Captain -- What's going on? \say MOOSKA: The rest of the pirates. One more is hiding at your feet. \say SOLDIER: Yes! Look for him!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! Wait$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say SOLDIER: Bring me a hand grenade. \say LOUIE: It's Pazu and the others, eh$\ldots$ \say VOICES: What? Wow! \say DORA: You're mistaken!! \say SOLDIER 1: His Excellency!! \say SOLDIER 2: What? \say SOLDIER 2: Guards, fall in!! \say SOLDIER 2: Hurry!! \say PAZU: Auntie!! They've got Sheeta. I'm going to go rescue her. After I cut the ropes, escape. \say PAZU: Run well away! \say DORA: Hey, wait!! Take these. \say PAZU: Thanks. \say DORA: He became a man in an emergency, didn't he$\ldots$? \say GENERAL: What!! Mooska broke up all the radios? \say SOLDIER: Yes, sir. We caught his pets making themselves scarce inside the ship. \say SOLDIER 1: Many in the arrival army are seriously wounded. The Captain is inside the lower dark hemisphere. The army witnessed it. \say GENERAL: Greenhorn! Showed his true colors. Gather the troops. It's a spy hunt! \say SOLDIERS: Gather all squadrons!! Hey -- Hurry up!! Number 3 squadron. \say SOLDIERS: If they resist, I don't care if you shoot to kill. Find the entrance! \say DARK GLASSES: Captain -- where in the world is this place. ..? \say MOOSKA: The nerve center of Laputa. The castle above and such, are no more than rubbish. \say MOOSKA: The science of Laputa is completely stored in here. You will wait here. \say DARK GLASSES: Captain! Wait, Captain!! \say MOOSKA: Beyond here, none but the royal family can enter -- it's a sanctuary. What's this!! \say MOOSKA: The tree roots, as far as here$\ldots$? (flip, flip) One paragraph, and it will all be reduced to ashes. Come -- this way. \say MOOSKA: Shit -- here it is!! \say MOOSKA: H -- here, too?! Shit! \say MOOSKA: Found it!! Oh$\ldots$ Look at this huge Levistone!! THIS is the source of Laputa's power. \say MOOSKA: Excellent. For 700 years it has been waiting for the return of the king. \say SHEETA: 700 years$\ldots$? \say MOOSKA: Your clan forgot about that, didn't it? \say MOOSKA: It's the black stone!! Just like in the legend!! \say MOOSKA: I can read it -- I can read it!! \say SHEETA: Who in the world ARE you? \say MOOSKA: I, too, have an old, secret name, Lusheeta. My name is Romooska Paro Ul Laputa. \say MOOSKA: Your clan and my clan were originally one royal family. But when it fell to the ground, it was divided into two$\ldots$ \say SOLDIER 1: Not a crack. \say SOLDIER 2: It's not mere stone. \say GENERAL: Use all the bombs we've got!! \say MOOSKA'S VOICE: Your Excellency -- you cannot get in like that. \say GENERAL: Mooska -- where are you?! \say VOICES: Oh!! \say PAZU: WAH---! \say MOOSKA'S VOICE: Well! Why do you hesitate? Please come inside, Your Excellency. \say GENERAL: Yes -- Follow me!! \say VOICE: Follow His Excellency!! \say PAZU: Oof! \say GENERAL: Wh -- what is this place!! Mooska -- come out!! \say MOOSKA: Be silent. \say GENERAL: Wh -- what mockery is this? \say MOOSKA: Refrain from speech. You are before the King of Laputa. \say GENERAL: Are you sane$\ldots$ ? \say MOOSKA: From now on, congratulate the rebirth of the monarchy. I think I will show you gentlemen the power of Laputa. \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say MOOSKA: I will show you the threat of Laputa. \say PAZU AND SHEETA: WAH!! \say VOICES: Oh! Wah! \say MOOSKA: It's the heavenly fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament. Ramayana, then Indora's arrows, too, it handed down. \say MOOSKA: The whole world will bow to Laputa again, I believe$\ldots$ \say GENERAL: Excellent, Mooska$\ldots$ You're a hero. It's an important distinguished service. \say MOOSKA: Ha, ha, ha $\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: Your stupid face made a perfect mask of disgust. Ow!! Oh -- you!! \say SHEETA: Everyone -- run!! \say SHEETA: Ah! \say MOOSKA: Die!! \say MOOSKA: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ \say SOLDIER: Ah -- it's coming out!! \say DORA: Those fools!! \say LOUIE: It's full of them$\ldots$ \say DORA: Everybody -- RUN!! \say LOUIE: Y -- yes! \say DORA: Check the Flapters!! \say CHARLES: Mama -- fly!! \say LOUIE: Hurry, let's get away!! \say DORA: Be quiet. Don't raise your voice. \say DORA: Why are those two loitering behind!! They'll end up falling. \say MOOSKA: I hope you don't anger me again. \say MOOSKA: Therefore, for the time being we will live here together. They had better run away at once. \say MOOSKA: Do they intend to fight me? \say PAZU: A robot. \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say SHEETA: Ah$\ldots$ \say MOOSKA: Excellent!! Don't you think it's the best show? Oh!! Look!! The people are like garbage. \say MOOSKA: What are you doing!! \say MOOSKA: Shit $\ldots$ Give it back -- be a good girl. Come on. \say SHEETA: Please -- open up!! \say MOOSKA: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ Where do you think you're going, hm? \say SHEETA: Open up!! \say SHEETA: Pant, Pant $\ldots$ \say PAZU'S VOICE: Sheeta--- \say SHEETA: Pazu$\ldots$! PAZU!! \say PAZU: Sheeta $\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Sheeta!! Sheeta!! Sheeta!! \say SHEETA: Ah, Pazu!! \say PAZU: I'm coming now. Shit$\ldots$ Get down!! \say SHEETA: Hurry, take this!! It's Mooska -- hurry!! \say SHEETA: Throw it in the ocean$\ldots$ \say PAZU: Sheeta!! \say MOOSKA: That stone you have is important. I'll trade the girl's life for it. \say MOOSKA: Get up!! The game of tag is over. \say MOOSKA: The old throne room is not very splendid, is it? Come here!! \say SHEETA: You say this is the throne room? Here is a grave. Yours and mine. \say SHEETA: Although the country was destroyed, such a king is left. It's a joke. I won't give you the stone. You can't leave here without killing me. \say SHEETA: Now, why was Laputa destroyed? I know perfectly well. There's a song in the valley of Gondoa: \beginsong Put down roots in the Earth; Let's live with the wind; With seeds, make fat the winter; With the birds, let's sing of spring. \endsong \say SHEETA: Whatever terrible weapons you may have, however many poor robots you use, you can't live separated from the ground. \say MOOSKA: Laputa will not be destroyed. However many times, it will be reborn. \say MOOSKA: The power of Laputa -- it's the dream of the human race. Your ears will be next. On your knees!! Beg for your life. Get the stone back from the brat!! \say PAZU: Wait!! The stone is hidden. If you shoot Sheeta, I won't return the stone. \say SHEETA: Pazu -- don't come here, it's no use. No matter what, I think he's going to kill us. \say MOOSKA: Brat -- the girl's life is in exchange. Tell me where the stone is. Or else, will you defeat me with that cannon? \say PAZU: I want to talk with Sheeta, alone. \say SHEETA: It's no use -- throw away the stone and run!! \say MOOSKA: I'll wait three minutes. \say SHEETA: Pazu!! \say PAZU: Sheeta -- calm down. Listen closely. Tell me those words. I'll say them, too. I have it in my left hand. I'll show you. \say PAZU: I cut the ropes on Auntie and the others. \say MOOSKA: It's time!! Let's hear your answer. \say PAZU AND SHEETA: Balse!! \say MOOSKA: Ah$\ldots$ My eyes$\ldots$ My eyes! My eyes$\ldots$ My eyes$\ldots$ \say CHARLES: Mama -- it's collapsing!! \say DORA: It can't be helped -- launch!! Hurry!! \say HENRI: Quickly!! \say HENRI: Mama, look!! The kettle bottom is falling off. \say LOUIE: But Sheeta was a good girl$\ldots$ \say DORA: She used the word of destruction. Those children protected Laputa from the idiots. \say CHARLES: The collapse has stopped!! \say LOUIE: It's the Levistone!! Exceptional rascals. \say MAN: It's going up. \say DORA: It's a tree$\ldots$ I think that tree ended up holding every- body. Follow it. Heavy -- everyone, don't fall. \say LOUIE: That's crazy. \say PAZU: Sheeta $\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Pazu$\ldots$ Wow$\ldots$ \say PAZU: The tree roots protected us. \say PAZU: If we break the wire, it's OK. Let's go. \say SHEETA: Yes. \say DORA: What are you doing? Aren't we dropping a bit? \say HENRI: You're wrong. Ride like this. \say LOUIE: It's Sheeta!! \say VOICES: It's Sheeta!! \say LOUIE: They're alive. \say VOICE: It's the apprentice. \say VOICES: Hey!! Yoo-hoo!! \say SHEETA: Auntie!! \say DORA: Safely alive, aren't you. \say PAZU: Everyone's OK!! \say ENGINEER: Everyone's OK but my poor, tattered ship$\ldots$ SOB \say DORA: Don't be maudlin. We can build a pretty good ship!! Poor thing -- pretty cruel way to get a haircut$\ldots$ \say SHEETA: Auntie -- ouch! \say DORA: Oh, sorry. Isn't it pitiful? Worrying terribly, full of these. \say CHARLES: At any rate, in our spare time$\ldots$ \centerline{\bigtenrm THE END} \endscript \bye
