I don't need a cheap job. \say Phone voice : A charter ship from Venice was attacked. They are stealing fuel from the ship. \say Porco Rosso : Is that it? \say Phone voice : Ah$\ldots$ Well$\ldots$ Girl students on vacation were on board. \say Porco Rosso : It's going to be more costly then you think. \say Phone voice : I'm going to apply part three of the contract 14 to this case. \say Porco Rosso : And part four, too. \describe{at the attacked ship} \say Pirate Boss : Stop, or I'm going to sink you! Stop! \say a kid : I'm going to be kidnapped, yeah! \say a kid : They're pirates, sea pirates! \say a kid : It's ``sea pirates''. It's ``air pirates''. \say Porco Rosso : It needs 'overhaul', huh$\ldots$ \say a kid : Are you bad guys? \say a pirate : Yeah. \say kid : Are we hostages? \say a pirate : Yeah. \say a kid : You guys are called air pirates, aren't you? \say a pirate : You know a lot. \say a kid : It's a skull. \say a kid : Neat, isn't it? \say Pirate Boss : Hurry up kids! I'm busy. \say a pirate : Do you want all 15 of them? \say Pirate Boss : Of course I do. It's not nice for a girl to be left behind, don't you think. \say a kid : Hey$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : I'm late. \say Ship's Captain : The girls were kidnapped! Bring the girls back! They went that way! \say Porco Rosso : I know what they are thinking. Because they're poor and stingy, and want to save on gasoline they will change their course to nearest island as soon as they're out of sight. \say Porco Rosso : Shit! \say Porco Rosso : Damn it! \say Porco Rosso : This is no good. \say Porco Rosso : Here we are. \say Porco Rosso : What the heck is this? A sightseeing plane around the islands. \say passenger girls : Look at that! A pig! It's a pig. What a cute pig$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : You girls could be kidnapped here. Watch out babes! \say passenger girls : Cool! He's cool!! \say Pirate Boss : What a nuisance! \say a kid : We are flying! \say a kid : Let me see, let me see! \say Pirate Boss : Hey, kids. Don't. Shut up, shut up, please. Hey, do something, will you? \say a pirate : That's why I asked if we wanted to take all of them. \say Pirate gunner : Ok, just for a little bit. \say a kid : Wow! Wonderful! Hey, look at that! It's a red plane. \say Pirate gunner : Where, where! \say a kid : He is over there, isn't he? \say a kid : Yes! \say Porco Rosso : I'm not going to let you go any further. \say kids : See, he is coming. \say Pirate gunner : That's Porco Rosso! \say kids : Hey, I can't see.

Come! \say Pirate gunner : We are not sinking. This is a plane! \say Pirate Boss : Don't! It's dangerous! Stop them. They are very valuable hostages to us! \say a kid : Don't worry, mister. We are students at the swimming school. \say Pirate Boss : Oh, no. \say a kid : Me, too. \say a pirate : Contact from the pig again. ``I'm going to allow you to take half of the gold coins. But leave the rest of the coins and the hostages, behind!'' \say Porco Rosso : ``If you don't, I'm going to kill you all!'' \say a pirate : says the pig. But$\ldots$ \say a pirate : A half of the coins!? \say Pirate Boss : Keep your mouth shut! Come on, Pig. Let's have the fight! \say Pirate Boss : Here we go! What?! \say pirates : It's broken. It's over, it's over. \say kids : Bye bye, play with us again, will you? \say Pirate Boss : Bye bye. \say a pirate : Everything is fine, isn't it? Since we have enough money for repairs \say Pirate Boss : You, idiot. Be greedy! \say Porco Rosso : Calm down, calm down, will you. Don't touch that, it will get broken. Don't go close to the propeller. Uhm? Pee? Do it around there, will you? \describe{at the restaurant} \say a pirate : ``Mamma Aiuto''s guys said they couldn't come to see us. \say a pirate : Shit! Such a pig became a hero$\ldots$ but, the young fella is an American, isn't he? \say a pirate : If he is, that's a shame for the pilots of the Adriatic. \say business man : Oh, not at all. His grandmother is quarter Italian. Anyway, we should do something about the Porco. We have a great deal of trouble. \say a pirate : But, 10\%! That's not fair. \say Curtis : Shhh$\ldots$ \describe{Gina sings} \say Curtis : Beautiful$\ldots$ \say a pirate : Here he comes. \say a pirate : He sucks. He is a fake. \say Curtis : Shhh$\ldots$ \say Reporter : Mr. Porco Rosso! I'm a reporter for the Neptune newspaper, you did anther great job, again. I think ``Mamma Aiuto'' is not going to appear again for a while. Anyway, about your estimated bounty this year, people say that the amount must be over that of the last year$\ldots$ Ouch! $\ldots$ Wait. Let go of me. \say Curtis : Listen to a song in silence. \say Curtis : She is a wonderful lady. Madam Gina of the hotel Adriano is very famous among the pilots through out this country. During her song, even air pirates and bounty hunters become good guys. \say Porco Rosso : Is that plane up front yours? \say Curtis : Yeah, it's a plane of the rattle snake, bringing me fame and fortune. \say Porco Rosso : The plane beat an Italian at the Schneider cup, twice. \say Curtis : Not only is it fast, but it is also and excellent fighter. I heard that a small pig named Porco Rosso is famous around here. \say Porco Rosso : If you make a deal with the air pirates, watch your tail ``cowboy''. They are misers and are poor, too. They stink, for they don't take a shower. \say Curtis : Uh$\ldots$ I know that. \say a pirate : What! Come on, you little chicken shit! \say Gina : May I help you, gentlemen. What's going on tonight? You're up to no good, aren't you? \say a pirate : He, he, he, he, yes mam. \say Gina : I'm glad you came, but don't play war games. \say a pirate : We know, Gina. We don't work within 50km from this establishment. \say a pirate : We are getting along with even that pig. \say a pirate : Yeah. \say Gina : You're good boys. \say Curtis : See you later. \say pirates : Whaa, whaa, what are you doing! \say Lady in the restaurant : Hi, Porco, tell me your story. \say Porco Rosso : Next time two of us are alone. \say Gina : That Mr. America is funny. As soon as he sees me$\ldots$ ``Will you marry me?''. So I told him: ``I married three pilots, first died in the war, the second died in Atlantic Ocean, and the last one died in Asia.''. \say Porco Rosso : You got the news? \say Gina : I got it today. It's says the remains were found in the forest of Bengal. I have been waiting for three years. My tears dried up long ago. \say Porco Rosso : Good guys always die. For my friend. \say Gina : Marco, thank you for staying with me all these years. You are the best friend. \say Porco Rosso : The only thing I don't like is that you don't want to take that picture off. \say Gina : Don't break it, you promised me. That's only left picture of Marco as a human How can we break your curse? \say Porco Rosso : That American is very talented$\ldots$ \describe{at the bank} \say Bank clerk : I envy you. I wish I would make money like you. \say Porco Rosso : This is the payment for this month. \say Bank clerk : You've payed off the entire loan for the airplane. Let's see, how about buying some patriots bond in devotion to our country? \say Porco Rosso : I'll let the ``humans'' do that. \describe{at the weapons shop} \say Gunsmith's apprentice : Welcome, Mr. Porco Rosso. This is ready. \say Porco Rosso : Give me 60 rounds of ammo as well. \say Gunsmith's apprentice : O.K. \say Porco Rosso : This country is busy, isn't it? \say Gunsmith : Oh, yeah. The government is probably going to change? If so, people like you will be outlaws. \say Porco Rosso : ``Country'' and ``law'' don't mean anything to a pig. \say Gunsmith : You're right, Mr. So goes for a mole. \say Gunsmith's apprentice : Is it ok like usual? We have a new supply of an incendiary bomb. \say Porco Rosso : Hey, kid. I'm not going to war. See you. \say Gunsmith's apprentice : Excuse me, boss. Could you tell me the difference between a soldier and a bounty hunter? \say Gunsmith : Uhm$\ldots$ You're a scum if you can't win in war. You're useless and stupid if you can't make a fortune. \describe{[]} \say Pirate Captain : I've never heard of an air pirate who was deeply in debt. \say a pirate : We had nothing to barter with, Captain. We couldn't even pay for paint. \say 'lookout' pirate : There's ships up ahead! \say Pirate Boss : Why do I have to stay with such pathetic looking group? \say a pirate : It's due to the pig, the crimson pig. \say a pirate : Take a look at that. Guys of ``Aiuto'', they don't even have money for paint. \say a pirate : Poor looking boys. \say a pirate : Well, we are finally complete. \say a pirate : Hey, is Mr. America around? \say a pirate : Yes, he is in the sun. Juts like we told. \say a pirate : I sighted the target! It's the Queen of Mediterranium! \say a pirate : Are we going to take on such a big ship? \say a pirate : That's why we prepared well. Don't be afraid! \say old pirate : ``My engine is in trouble. I'm going to back you up. You go first.'' \say a pirate : ``You are cunning! Do as we agreed!'' \say a pirate : ``We share cost of repairs and expenses when we loose, don't we?'' \say a pirate : ``You, stingy$\ldots$ Of course we share them!'' \say Pirate Boss : Shut up! Calm down! \say Announcer : ``Attention please, attention please. Air pirates are attacking this ship, but there is nothing to worry about. This ship has excellent fighters. Let me introduce them. No. 1 is the black stallion, signore Bulkar, and No.2 is the seawolf, Visconti.'' \say Curtis : I didn't know they had fighter protection. \say Curtis : Ah, ah, they're upset. \say a pirate : Go away from here. \say Curtis : Ok, wait there. \describe{Porco's hide} \say Porco Rosso : This engine finally had it. Well, looks like I'll have to take it to Milan. \say Radio voice : "$\ldots$ they were shot down, but they succeeded in escaping by parachute. The air pirates, who took all the money and gold away from the ship, left the following message, 'You are next, pig! Come get it, pig!'. I repeat, 'You are next,pig. Come get it, pig.' This crime$\ldots$'' \say Porco Rosso : You guys are special kind of trash. I'm sorry, but I'm going on vacation. White sheets, beautiful ladies$\ldots$ Don't give out on me yet, Mr. Engine. \describe{up in the air} \say Porco Rosso : I don't like this weather. Well, guess I'll have to go under the clouds. Oh, good boy, hang in there. Yes, you are a good boy, engine. \say Curtis : Rosso! Fight me man to man. \say Porco Rosso : I don't have time to play with you. \say Curtis : Don't run away, or I'm going to tell everybody about it. \say Porco Rosso : See you later, Mr. America, ha ha ha$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Shit, I'm out of the clouds. \say Porco Rosso : Jesus. \say Curtis : Gotcha! \say Porco Rosso : No, you didn't. It's broken. \say Curtis : I did it! Now, I'm a celebrity. \say Curtis : They are not going to believe me if I don't bring back any proof. Let's see$\ldots$ \say Curtis : Yes! \say Curtis : This cheap,crimson colored piece. This is it. this will be a nice gift for my mom in Alabama. \describe{[]} \say Gina : Please hurry up. \say Bellboy : Madam, madam. Telephone, please. He is alive after all. \say Gina : What? \say Bellboy : Please get the phone at the front desk. \say Gina : Marco, is this you? Did you get hurt? I was about to leave to pick you up. Ok, that's fine. \say Porco Rosso : I lost some weight, because I was stranded on a desert island. I'm going to Milan to repair my plane. If that Mr. America stops by your hotel, tell him this, please, ``See you again next time.'' \say Gina : What? You think of me as a bulletin board or something?! However I'm worried about you guys, pilots like you regard women as nails in a landing pier or something insignificant. Marco, you're going to end up as roast pork someday. I'd hate to witness such a miserable funeral. \say Porco Rosso : A pig who doesn't fly is just an ordinary pig. \say Gina : Marco, you fool! \describe{[]} \say Piccolo : I was waiting for you because I expected you tonight. \say Porco Rosso : I need your help again. \say Piccolo : You lost too much this time. Why don't you just build another one? \say Porco Rosso : I want to keep this one. \say Piccolo : I know how you feel. \say Fio : Step aside, please. I need drive into the factory. \say Porco Rosso : Who is that cute girl? \say Piccolo : My granddaughter, who was living in America. Alright, alright, alright. \say Fio : Nice plane. It's neat grandpa. Good design. \say Piccolo : There is almost no workers to do the job like this these days. \say Porco Rosso : She doesn't resemble you. Is she really your granddaughter? \say Piccolo : Don't touch her! \say Porco Rosso : Huh? \say Piccolo : Fio, I leave this to you. \say Fio : Ok. I'll do it. \say Porco Rosso : The opponent is Curtis. I need 15 knots more. \say Piccolo : Curtis? I've hear of him. \say Piccolo : See this. What do you say? \say Porco Rosso : This is a Hallvolley, isn't it. \say Piccolo : Don't ask how I got this. An Italian plane which had this engine lost a race with Curtis at Schneider's cup in 1927. But it lost due to poor engineering, not this engine. This is exciting. \say Porco Rosso : Don't tune it up too delicately. My plane is not for such racing. \say Piccolo : Are you preaching to me? An Asian proverb calls this ``Preaching a sermon to buddha.''. Did you know that? \say Porco Rosso : Are you going to take all of my money? \say Piccolo : These days, rolls of bills aren't worth a damn. Give me money in your pocket, for propeller and paint and $\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : This is for living expenses, such as hotel and meals. \say Piccolo : You can stay here. I'm not going to charge you much. Meals included. \say Porco Rosso : I don't see your sons. Are they alright? \say Piccolo : All three left looking for works. \say Porco Rosso : Then$\ldots$ who is going to design my plane? \say Piccolo : Fio is. \say Porco Rosso : Fio! That's a girl I saw, isn't she. \say Piccolo : She is young, but she's got something my sons lack. \say Porco Rosso : Hey, old man. We've known each other for long time, but I'll look for another repairman this time. \say Fio : Wait. You are nervous because I'm a woman, aren't you? Or, I'm too young to do it? \say Porco Rosso : Both, Miss. \say Fio : Ok. I agree with you. Well, can you tell me the first priority of being a good pilot? \say Porco Rosso : Hmm? \say Fio : Experience? \say Porco Rosso : No, inspiration, I think. \say Fio : Oh, I'm glad you didn't say ``experience''. Anyway, I heard from grandpa that you flew at an early age. And have been an excellent pilot since then. \say Porco Rosso : That was 1910, when I was 17. \say Fio : 17! That's the same age I am now. I can't quit being a woman, but let me do the job, will you? If I can't do it well, don't pay me. Is it ok, grandpa? \say Piccolo : She is my granddaughter, she'll do well. In my case, I was able to fix engines at the age of 12. \say Fio : Could you sleep here tonight? I'll make your bed tomorrow. The breakfast is at 7:00am. You can take a hot shower. I've you left a towel already. Have a good night. \say Piccolo : You don't have enough money. We know each other well, so will make the rest a loan. \describe{[]} \say Fio : Good-morning. Did you sleep well? \say Porco Rosso : Did you stay up all night? \say Fio : This is the rough plan. What do you think? I want to redesign this wing section, leaving the plane shape as it is. This will make your plane fly faster. Five knots faster, I think. I'm surprised at the original plan. The wing was also made of wood. This plane is great. The designer who designed this wing must have know the wood very well. I'm really impressed. \say Porco Rosso : This is the only plane of its kind made, since the designer said it was too dangerous for any pilot to fly this plane, nobody used it. \say Fio : No wonder! I'm surprised that this radical design allows you to take off from water surface. \say Porco Rosso : Only take offs and landings give me some difficulty. It behaves strange during the flight. \say Porco Rosso : At 0.5 degrees to the angle of the wings, right? \say Porco Rosso : Everything should be fine then. \say Fio : You'll let me continue with this, won't you? Thank you, Mr.! I'll do my best! \say Porco Rosso : But let me tell you something, Miss. Don't stay up all night. Insomnia prevents you from doing an excellent job. And it is not good for your beauty. \say Fio : Thank you for your advice. Well, to be honest, I couldn't sleep well last night, because I was very nervous. I was worried that you won't let me do this job. Well, I'm very sleepy now. I'll make a coffee for you. \say Porco Rosso : Is she going to build this plane alone? \say Piccolo : Next is my niece, Monica. She is will be in charge of general construction. \say Monica : Nice to meet you. \say Piccolo : This is a wife of my nephew, Silvana. She is going to do finishing construction. These are daughters of my relatives. Sophia, Laura, Constance, Valentina. This is Fio's elder sister, Giliora. Oh, you're looking for me? This is Sandra, my cousin. You look so pretty Marietta. \say Piccolo : Wives of my sons, Maria, Tina, Anna, and her younger sister Birreta. \say ``Grandma'' : Angelino! \say Porco Rosso : Grandma! Are you still alive? \say ``Grandma'' : You've grown up to be a nice boy! \say Porco Rosso : Are you ladies going to work? \say ``Grandma'': Yes, I'd like to have some money for my great-grandchildren. \say Porco Rosso : There are no man here,right? \say Piccolo : Ah$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : All these are your relatives? \say Piccolo : Yes, they don't have any jobs these days. All the men went to other places to work. \say Porco Rosso : Because of the ``Great Depression''? \say Piccolo : Don't worry. Girls are nice, they work very well and are also gutsy. \say Porco Rosso : Making an airplane is in no way like baking a cake, I think$\ldots$ \describe{at the dinner table} \say Piccolo : ``Dear God. You gave my company, which was about to go bankrupt, a piece of bread and a job. Please forgive us, who make a fighter plane with ladies. Amen.'' \say Piccolo : Well, let's eat well and work hard! \describe{[]} \say Piccolo : Sounds good! This engine is quite something! What do you say, it's nice, isn't it? \say Porco Rosso : Don't over do it, or this factory will be gone. \say Piccolo : Huh, you think Curtis is not worth it? \describe{[]} \say Piccolo : Uh-hm, sure, this is a good idea. \say Fio : So, let me do it. \say Piccolo : But, this is going to cost a fortune. I got a lot of bills already. I'm not sure what sponsor thinks. \say Fio : Porco$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Ok, ok. Don't look at me like that. Do it your way. \say Fio : Yes! I've already talked to manufacturers. I will order these immediately. Porco, I love you! \say Piccolo : Wait at least three months, will you? \say Porco Rosso : I want to change my job and become an air pirate. \say Piccolo : She is a nice girl, isn't she. \say Porco Rosso : Uh-hm. \say Piccolo : Don't touch her. \say Porco Rosso : If I would be henpecked, I could not feel happy. \describe{at the theatre} \say Porco Rosso : You're a major, ah. You rose in the world, Fierrali. \say Fierrali : You, fool. Why did you come back? \say Porco Rosso : I make it a rule to go wherever I want to. \say Fierrali : The government is not going to let you go this time. Did somebody follow you? \say Porco Rosso : I gave them the slip. \say Fierrali : A warrant for your arrest is going to be issued because of your anti-fascism, illegal entries, corrupt ideology, being a shameless and lazy pig, public indecency. \say Porco Rosso : Ha ha ha ha \say Fierrali : Hey, this is no time to laugh. They say they will confiscate your plane. \say Porco Rosso : This movie is crap, don't you think. \say Fierrali : Hey, Marco, come back to the air force. I would make a room for you. \say Porco Rosso : I'd rather be a pig then a fascist. \say Fierrali : The era of sky adventures has gone. The only thing left for us to do is to fly for such ridiculous reasons as the ``country'' or the ``nation''. \say Porco Rosso : I've lived my life my way without relying on force. \say Fierrali : You are a pig after all, huh? \say Porco Rosso : Thanks for your advice, Fierrali. Give my regards to the others. \say Fierrali : This is a nice film, don't you think. Watch your tail cowboy. They don't sue a pigs, but$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Yeah. \say Fierrali : Goodbye, my comrade. \describe{on the street} \say Fio : Porco, need a ride? \say Porco Rosso : Hey, you're a life saver. \say Fio : I borrowed this because I need to take your plane to the lake tomorrow. It's for a test flight, right? \say Porco Rosso : I don't need the test flight. I need to fly as soon as possible. \say Fio : Don't be such a fool. I'm not going to give you the plane without testing it. Besides, it will take almost a day to take it apart and transport it to the lake. \say Porco Rosso : We don't have much time. Take a look back, will you, slowly. That's the fascists secret police. They were following you, Fio. \say Fio : Me? Why? For what? \say Porco Rosso : Because I gave them the slip. And, because you are working on my plane. \say Fio : Porco, are you really a spy? \say Porco Rosso : Ha, ha, ha, ha! I? A spy? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Look, a secret agent works much harder then I. \say Fio : But, you were a hero at the time of war. This is strange if you didn't do anything$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : I think so, too. \say Porco Rosso : This is not right way! \say Fio : Looks like your used to being in big trouble. \say Porco Rosso : Well, we will be very busy. \describe{At Piccolo's shop} \say Piccolo : You can fly anytime you want. \say ``Grandma'': Two guys are hiding in the backyard, and three in the front. This excites me! \say Piccolo : Hey, don't ramble. \say Fio : See you later. \say Fio's mother : Take care of yourself. \say Fio : Thank you. \say Porco Rosso : Fio! What are you doing? \say Fio : I'm going, too. Wait for five minutes, please! I want to prepare my seat. \say Porco Rosso : Give me a break! Do you understand what you are saying! \say Fio : Shh$\ldots$ Don't talk so loud. \say Porco Rosso : Fio. Look. You are a daughter of a decent man. Besides, you are not married yet. Then$\ldots$ \say Fio : Would you hold this for a moment? Thank you. I made this in a hurry, look! This really fits. Would you hold that? \say Porco Rosso : Hey, Miss. I'm a wanted bounty hunter by the government. I'm not going to be playing with this plane. \say Fio : I'm sorry, but I have responsibility for this plane. \say Porco Rosso : But, I'm going to take off from the canal in the back. And I'm not even sure if I can fly without any problems. \say Fio : Then I should go with you even more so. And, when you're going to fight Curtis you'll need me as an excellent engineer, won't you? \say Porco Rosso : Hey, I'm a man, you know. We are going to be camping alone on a deserted island. \say Fio : I don't care, I like camping very much. \say Porco Rosso : I'm not talking about THAT. \say Piccolo : Take her with you. I want you to win and pay the debt. You've got to beat Curtis. My company may go bankrupt if you don't pay it. \say Porco Rosso : Are you really this girl's grandfather? \say Piccolo : You don't have to pay her any money. Plus, I'm going to install this phone for you two. \say Porco Rosso : You really want her to be wanted by the police. \say Fio : No. I'm going to be Porco's hostage. That way they can excuse their cooperation with you. So, please, take me with you. I won't give you any trouble. \say Porco Rosso : Take off the machine gun on the right side. \say Fio : What? \say Porco Rosso : There's almost no space even if you got a small butt. Take off one machine gun! \say Fio : Whoa! Thanks! My butt is bigger then it looks. It will be just a minute for me to take the gun off. \say Porco Rosso : I want to take off as soon as possible. If I don't do it, looks like the old ladies are gonna say they want to come with me as well. \say Piccolo : Oh, that's a nice idea. \say Fio's mother : Grandma, hurry, hurry. \say ``Grandma'': Fio. You don't have get me a souvenir. \say Piccolo : Contact. Open the door! \describe{whistle} \say Porco Rosso : Let it go! \describe{gun fire, Porco answers with a machine gun} \say Fio : How is the steering, Porco? \say Porco Rosso : This is kind of like a tomboy, just like you. It's beginning to go wild. \say Fio : Stop the plane at once! We need to make adjustments! \say Porco Rosso : We don't have the time to do it. Just do your job! \say Porco Rosso : ?????????? \say Fio : There a ship up ahead! \say Porco Rosso : Let's fly! Easy, easy, tomboy! \say Fio : The turning wing is shifting to the right. Use the tab! \say Porco Rosso : The tab? \say Fio : The one I put in anew!\hfill\break{\bf Hurry!} \say Porco Rosso : Good. It became a nice boy all of a sudden. \describe{in the air} \say Fio : Beautiful. How beautiful the world is!? \say Fio : Is he following us? \say Porco Rosso : No. He is not attacking. That's a parade plane of the Italian Air Force. Looks like it's Fierrali$\ldots$ \say Fio : Do you know him? \say Porco Rosso : ``The Air Force lies in wait up ahead.'' He says he'll tell us how to escape them. He also says that we should fly low to the Adriatic Sea. Thanks, comrade! \say Fio : Thank you! \say Porco Rosso : He said, ``Don't cast pearls before a swine'', looking at you, Fio. \describe{In Gina's garden} \say Curtis : You are so beautiful. You look like a rose blooming in a secret flower garden. \say Gina : You, bastard! This is private garden. \say Curtis : I really want you to look at this. \say Gina : Oh, this is from Hollywood. ``About the production of the scenario and casting you sent,'' \say Curtis : ``would you please contact us as soon as possible, because we are in the middle of preliminary trials.'' The title is ``A bouquet of the Adriatic Sea.'' \say Gina : That's nice. \say Curtis : Really? That means O.K., doesn't it? Gina, come to Hollywood with me. I was air pirates' guardsman to obtain a fame and fortune. Next I want to be a Hollywood star. \say Gina : And, then? \say Curtis : The President! \say Gina : Ha, ha, ha, ha. \say Curtis : I'm serious. I promise to make you the first lady. Gina. \say Gina : I like your for such stupidity. \say Curtis : Really? \say Gina : But I say no, because I already have a gamble going. \say Gina : When I'm in this garden, if he comes over here, I will love him. But he comes only to the restaurant at night. And never emerges in the daylight. \say Curtis : That guy is coming back. \say Gina : Fool$\ldots$ \hfill\break He left without getting off the plane. \hfill\break I lost the gamble again. \say Curtis : You're kidding! The gamble is about that guy? \say Gina : Is that a problem? \hfill\break Life is more complicated here than in your country. \hfill\break Here I can fall in love anytime I want. \hfill\break Kid, go to Hollywood by yourself, OK? \say Curtis : Kid$\ldots$ \describe{In the air} \say Fio : I hit my head because you did an acrobatic maneuver all of a sudden. \say Porco Rosso : I just said hello to my friend. \say Fio : To Gina of the hotel Adriano? \hfill\break She wore a white dress and was at the terrace of the hotel, wasn't she? \hfill\break My grandpa told me that all pilots of the Adriatic Sea fall in love with Gina \say Porco Rosso : You speculate a lot. \say Fio : So, how is the lady? \hfill\break You fell in love with her too, didn't you? \say Porco Rosso : We are going down refuel. Close your mouth, or you'll bite your tongue. \say Fio : Wa! Wait! Uwaa$\ldots$ \describe{[]} \say Gasoline supplier : A girl on a fighter? \say Fio : Where's Porco? \say Gasoline supplier : He is talking with my dad. \describe{at the tavern} \say Boy's dad : Not only the temporary government but guys in the King's faction have tried to get along with the air pirates. Fighting against the air pirates is not a thing to do. \say a woman : Here you are. \say Porco Rosso : Thanks. \say a woman : No thanks for such a bad news$\ldots$ \say a man : You'd better present yourself to either side. They will pay a fortune for your skill. \say another man : You got a cigarette? \say a man : Curtis is will go back to America sooner or later. \say Boy's dad : It's us who should to go to America. \say Porco Rosso : ``Goodbye to freedom in the Adriatic Sea.'' Ahh? \say a man : Is it Byron's? \say Porco Rosso : No, it's mine. \hfill\break See you later. \say Boy's dad : Later. \describe{back at the plane} \say Fio : Porco, this is bad news. The gas price is three times as much as in Italy. We are not in luck. Don't be like a businessman, make it cheaper. \say Gasoline supplier : This gas is genuine. That's why I hate women. Hey, Mr. Would you tell her$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Pay him, Fio. After that, put your big butt and your looks in the space between the machine guns. We're going to fly to my home. \say Fio : I'll add the gas bill to the other bills. \describe{[]} \say Porco Rosso : Nobody can live alone. We rely on each other. Nobody lives around here, even though the landscape is beautiful.\hfill\break Here we are. That island is my home. \say Fio : Beautiful! \hfill\break It's a wonderful place. \hfill\break Ohh$\ldots$ my butt is stiff from the long flight. \say Pirates : Don't move! \say Porco Rosso : They stinks, again$\ldots$ \say a pirate : Boss, we caught him! Boss! \say Pirate Boss : Shit! Don't step on me$\ldots$ Back off! I was waiting for you, pig! \say a pirate : I knew you'd coming here. \say Pirate Boss : You gave us a lot of trouble. \say a pirate : It's a girl. The pig is with a girl. \say a pirate : She is pretty$\ldots$ \say Pirate Boss : Shut up! What's about a girl? About a half of the worlds population are women! \say Porco Rosso : Hey, that girl is not an ordinary one. She is a chief engineer at the Piccolo company. \say a pirate : But, she is very young and pretty. \say a pirate : That girl? You're lying. \say Porco Rosso : She made my plane much better then before. She may be young, but she's really something. \say Fio : Is that true? \say Porco Rosso : You are good with airplanes in general. Be polite, boys. She came with me to collect my debts. \say Pirate Boss : Ha, ha, ha, ha. \hfill\break You are deeply in debt after all. It serves you right! \hfill\break Hey! Let's break his poor red plane, and leave him his debt! \say Fio : Break? You're kidding me, right? Are you going to break the plane I made? Are you going to break such beautiful airplane with axes? \say Pirate Boss : Miss, there is a complicated reason behind this$\ldots$ \say Fio : You are going to break, aren't you? \say Pirate Boss : But, what I want to say is$\ldots$ \say Fio : Are you guys really fighter pilots? \hfill\break Would you back off? \hfill\break My shoes. \say Fio : I have grown up with a lot of stories about the pilots since I was a small child. My grandpa always told me that no one is as nice as the pilots. My grandpa said, it's because sea and sky purify their hearts. Hence, the pilots are much braver then the sailors, and more proud then the ordinary pilots \say Pirate Boss : Don't tell me. I know that. They're the pilots. \say Fio : What they want the most, he said, is neither money nor women, but honor. \say a pirate : Yes, you're right! \say a pirate : Yes, lady! \say a pirate : A toast to the pilots! \say Porco Rosso : She's really something. \say Pirate Boss : I understand. I'll give up on breaking the plane, you made, with axes. But we'll be mortified if we don't do anything. Let's lynch the pig! \say a pirate : Lynch the pig! \say Fio : What the hell you talking about! You guys don't understand anything. I asked whether you feel ashamed or not. Aren't you ashamed of being helped by Curtis, the American? If your mother heard of that, she would cry. What the hell are you saying, you don't even take a shower. \say Fio : Porco came back to fight against Curtis, for pride and honor of the pilots of the Adriatic. You guys are lowest of the low! Fight with dignity! \say a pirate : I told you not to hire Curtis, eh! \say a pirate : You are not fair. Don't try to excuse yourself. \say a pirate : Boss, what are we supposed to do? \say a pirate : She convinced us. \say a pirate : How about asking Curtis to fight the pig? \say a pirate : Do we ask him to fight the PIG, again? \say a pirate : The contract is already over. \say Pirate Boss : I'm ashamed of it$\ldots$ \describe{Curtis appears} \say Curtis : Ha, ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ \say a pirate : That's Curtis! \say Curtis : I got it. I'm not going to run away! \say Porco Rosso : You guys are foolish. You made your passage through there? \say Porco Rosso : Hey, hold this. \say Curtis : You want a return match, don't you. But I won once, already. Besides, I am not a bounty hunter for these guys. \say Fio : You mean you won't fight for free? What's your proposition? \say Curtis : Beautiful! Will you marry me if I win? I'm serious. \say Fio : O.K. Instead, if Porco wins, you pay these bills. \say Porco Rosso : Wait, Fio! \say Pirate Boss : You back off! \say Pirate Boss : Miss,you still have time to think about that. \say Fio : Ask him,not me. \say Curtis : This is very expensive. \say Fio : It's very cheap. \say Pirate Boss : Are you going to fight or not? \say Curtis : I'm willing to fight for love. \say Pirate Boss : O.K. Listen up everybody. I'm really impressed with Miss Fio's decision. We, ``Mamma Aiuto'', are going to back up this fight up! \say a pirate : Let the air pirates union do this, too! \say Pirates : Miss Fio! See you soon! \say Porco Rosso : This sucks! \say Pirates : Hey pig, don't run away! \say Porco Rosso : Shut up, get lost! \say Pirate Boss : Bye-bye! \say Porco Rosso : This is ridiculous. Well, you are$\ldots$ \say Fio : Don't tell me. I know, I am foolish. \say Porco Rosso : Fio, I think I have to say thank you. You gave me a chance to fight Curtis. Thanks. We share the same luck. \say Fio: We are partners, aren't we? \say Porco Rosso : We are going to have a hard time. \say Fio : I trust you. \say Porco Rosso : Trust me, eh? I haven't heard that in a long time, but I'm glad you said that. What's wrong? You feel sick? Fio? \say Fio : I'm fine. It's just that my heart is pounding. To be honest, I was really scared. My knees are shaking. \say Porco Rosso : Hey? \say Fio : I want to swim. Porco! I made a mistake! \say Porco Rosso : Are you O.K? \say Fio : I should have padded the deal. We have a bad bargain. \say Porco Rosso : HA, HA, HA, HA. You're right. HA, HA, HA, HA. \describe{at night} \say Fio : Porco$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Hmm? You can't sleep, can you? \say Fio : Now, I just saw$\ldots$ It may have been a dream$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Every thing is all right. It's too early in the morning to get up. \say Fio : Porco. Why did you become a pig? \say Porco Rosso : I don't know. \say Fio : I know a lot about Captain Marco Pabatto. My father used to be in the same unit. I've heard many a story, in which the captain saved lives of enemy pilots, I liked it. Porco! How about if I kiss you? \say Porco Rosso : Huh? \say Fio : You know a fairy tale where a princess takes off a curse on a prince, who was changed to a frog. \say Porco Rosso : You, silly. Save it for your man! \say Fio : Won't my kiss work? \say Porco Rosso : Huh, you are a nice girl. You make me feel comfortable and make me wish to be a human being again. Be a nice girl and go to sleep. \say Fio : Tell me your story and I will. \say Porco Rosso : My story? Well$\ldots$ It was the last summer of the war. We were fly over the Adriatic Sea on our usual patrol, aiming at Istria. Belneldi was flying on my right side. He was an old friend of mine. He got married just two days before. I was the matchmaker. He didn't have enough leave to be with his wife for long. So, he returned to duty. \say Porco Rosso : Everyone was falling down like flies, whether a friend or a foe. I was chased by three planes, and had no time to worry about my friend. At the end I was the only one remaining of my unit. But, they never gave up chasing me. I made desperate efforts to run away. My hands and feet went numb, and I grew dizzy. I thought I was going to die. It was at that time that I saw the white sky. \say Fio : White? \say Porco Rosso : Yeah, it was like a flash. Because of the brightness, it took me a while to realize that I was in a cloud . I was worn out, and didn't have any power left to control my plane. In spite of that my plane continued to fly. \say Fio : A cloud of planes$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Yeah, it was calm, and the sky was very clear, too clear. There was a line of clouds far above me. \say Young Porco Rosso : Belneldi, you are alive, aren't you! Belneldi, wait, where are you going! Belneldi, don't go! Are you going to leave Gina alone?! I'll go instead of you! \say Porco Rosso : When I recovered my senses, I was flying over the sea, almost touching it, alone. \say Fio : God said it wasn't your time yet, didn't he? \say Porco Rosso : In my mind I thought he might let me fly like that forever. \say Fio : That would not have been right, because your are a good guy! \say Porco Rosso : Good guys are all dead already. Besides, there might have been Hell inside that cloud. Well, my story is over. Go to sleep. \hfill\break Shit, they gave me crap$\ldots$ \say Fio : I'm glad you came back to live because I like you. Good-night! \describe{at the race} \say a pirate : Hey, hey, which one's gonna win, a pig or$\ldots$ \say Porco Rosso : Fools. They make our fight into a festival. \say Fio : Are they all air pirates? \say Porco Rosso : Trash of the Mediterranean Sea$\ldots$ Gangs, pirates, smugglers, spies and even some ordinary people. \say Curtis : Heh, this makes my fame rise more and more$\ldots$ \say a pirate : Ten minutes till start, ten minutes till start! \say Pirate Boss : This is the fight between Porco Rosso and Donald Curtis! There are no special rules, but an unfair fight will a disgrace to their fans. \say Audience : Shut up and start right now. Back off! \say Pirate Boss : You shut up, or I kill you! \say Porco Rosso : He'd be better off throwing a 10ton bomb$\ldots$ \say Pirate Boss : This is the fight which will determine the future of Miss Fio Piccolo. \hfill\break Shut up! \hfill\break Do you understand? \hfill\break If you do, clap your hands. \hfill\break {\bf Clap!} \say Porco Rosso : Let's start now, uh? \say Pirate Boss : Shut up, that's the routine. Well, both of you present your bids. \say Pirate Boss : Have a seat. \say Fio : Thank you. \say Pirate Boss : Put it on the chair properly! None of you have anything to say, do you. Well shake hands or something before you start! \say Porco Rosso : No way. I'm fond of cleanliness. \say Pirate Boss : He's hard to please. \say Curtis : Fio, as soon as this fight is over, we will go to the church. Don't worry. My mom told me your going to like me soon. \say a pirate : May I take a picture with you? \say a pirate : I took a shower already. \say Photographer : Everybody, smile! \say Pirate Boss : {\bf Smile!} \say a pirate : If the flight is over in 3 minutes, the black plane has the advantage$\ldots$ \say a pirate : This is great. I want them to do this event every month \say Announcer : ``15 seconds to go.'' \say a pirate : They are so cool$\ldots$ \say Announcer : ``5 seconds to go.'' \hfill\break ``4''\hfill\break ``3''\hfill\break ``2''\hfill\break ``1''\hfill\break ``0!'' \say Pirate Boss : Curtis took over! \hfill\break This is going to be a one-sided fight. \say Fio : Give me that. Porco, what are you doing! Fly over! \say Pirate Boss : He would be shot if the took off now. It's very difficult for Curtis to shoot Porco in this situation. \say Curtis : I know you want me to waste the bullet's. I know it. \say Pirate Boss : Looping! The pig took Curtis' back! \say Fio : Looping? \say Pirate Boss : His skill made the pig an ace of the Adriatic Sea. \say Curtis : Shit! \say a pirate : He's gonna shoot! \say Audience : He doesn't open fire. \say Audience : Is his machine-gun broken!? \say Pirate Boss : I got it, I got it! The pig won't shoot until the end. \say Fio : What? \say Pirate Boss : The pig doesn't kill anybody. Now, the American should be fine. \hfill\break You got it! Go and shoot! \hfill\break Oh, he didn't shoot yet$\ldots$ \hfill\break See, I told you$\ldots$ If the pig opened fire, it would kill the American, so, it's going to hit Curtis' engine a few bullets after Curtis gets tired. \hfill\break He said this is not war, but$\ldots$ \hfill\break He is a fool! \say Fio : Porco$\ldots$ \say Curtis : Are you teasing me or what? Come on! Is your gun broken, huh! You, poor bastard! \say a pirate : They are coming this way! \say Curtis : You're teasing me. Come on, pig! \say a pirate : Go away from here and fight over there! \say Pirate Boss : Great! The pig is leaving a cloud trail. \say a pirate : I've never seen such an air fight before. \say a pirate : I'm really impressed. \describe{at the hotel Adriano} \say Gina's pilot : I ready for the flight. She'd better hurry, or the fight will be over. \say dock attendant : She's in her room, and doesn't come out. \say Gina's pilot : Does she want to go or not? \hfill\break I want to see that fight$\ldots$ \say Fierrali : ``To G of Heart, for the pig.'' \hfill\break ``The air force found out about the fight.'' \hfill\break ``Stop the silly fight.'' \say Gina : F. Oh, this is must be from Fierrali. I should hurry. \describe{back at the race} \say a pirate : First of all, both of them are very tough. \say Pirate Boss : The show isn't over! The show isn't over, yet! \say Fio : Porco, fight! \say Porco Rosso: I'm not going to give Fio to a man like you. \say Pirate Boss : O.K. The pig took Curtis' tail.
