"Now the latest weather forecast for northwest Koriko." "Skies are clearing up, thanks to a high-pressure front... moving in from the continent." "Mild winds will be blowing in from the west... clearing out the clouds by this evening." "We'll also have a beautiful full moon tonight... so pack up your picnic baskets because the weather is going to be just fine." "More news in just a minute." "First this word from the courteous people at Central Market." "Jiji, I've decided!" "I'm gonna do it tonight!" "Mom!" "Hey!" "I decided!" "Oh, hi, Miss Dora." "It's gonna be completely clear tonight." "I heard the weather forecast." "There's gonna be a big full moon." "Did you borrow your father's radio without permission again?" "Is it okay?" "I'm sorry!" "Happy to see you, Miss Dora." "Mom, my mind's made up." "It's tonight." "Weren't you gonna put it off a month?" "But the next full moon might be on a cloudy night." "I want to make sure I leave on the perfect night." "Kiki, wait!" "My, my." "What's this leaving business?" "It's one of our old customs." "When a witch turns 13 she leaves home for a year to begin her training." "Your little baby is 13?" "My, my." "Time flies so quickly, doesn't it?" "I'm afraid so." "But nobody leaves home that young anymore." "I remember perfectly well... the exact day you arrived in this town." "A little 13-year-old girl came down from the sky... riding a broomstick, her eyes shining." "I thought you were a bit stuck-up." "But Kiki doesn't know much besides flying." "She hardly knows any of my formulas." "After I'm gone, who will make this medicine?" "Sign of the times, I'm afraid." "Everything changes, bit by bit." "But I have to say, nothing works as well for my rheumatism." "You're always telling me to hurry!" "Now who's the slowpoke?" "I think it's better to leave with decorum and great dignity." "If we put it off for a month, and I find some wonderful boyfriend, then what?" "We'll never leave!" "I'm worried about this." "Once you've decided, you can't go back." "Of course." "I know that." "Good." "It's there." "I'm so excited!" "It's like getting a birthday present!" "You won't believe it, Dad!" "I've decided to go away tonight!" "Tonight?" "Yeah!" "I just decided!" "Well, yes, but what about our camping trip for this weekend?" "Sorry, Dad!" "Yes." "I'll expect you then." "Thanks." "Hi, Mom." "I wanted to make sure you knew that Kiki is leaving tonight." "Yes, at midnight." "Not bad." "I wish it were a different color." "Witches have worn this color for over a thousand years." "Black cat, black clothes." "It's not really important what color your dress is." "What matters is the heart inside it." "I know that having a good heart is very important." "I wish I could show you that my heart is ready." "Just follow that heart and keep smiling." "Okay." "Be sure to write home as soon as you've found a place." "Dad, can I please take the radio?" "Mom, you said I could have his radio." "Yea!" "Well, the radio's yours now." "Okay." "Now let me have a look at my little witch." "You look just like your mother did when she was your age." "Dad... would you pick me up like you used to?" "Well..." "How come you never told me you were growing up so fast?" "You can always come home if things don't work out." "Come back to my old room?" "No, thanks." "I hope you find a good town." "I bet it's real tough to find a town to live in by yourself." "Don't worry." "Kiki will be fine." "What kind of town are you looking for?" "A big town?" "Yeah." "By the ocean, I hope." "Wow!" "I'm so jealous of you!" "But I'm not going for a good time." "I'll be in training at least a year." "Yeah, but they'll have discos, won't they?" "Kiki, it's almost time." "Okay!" "That's the broom you're leaving on?" "Yeah." "I just made it." "Pretty cute, huh?" "It's cute, but you can't start witching on a broom that's too small." "Take mine." "But, Mom, that one's so old." "That's why you should have it." "It never loses its way, even in a storm." "Kiki, trust me." "But I worked so hard on it." "Right, Jiji?" "Your mother's broom would be better." "You rotten traitor." "He's right." "You can make yourself another broom when you get settled down." "Be careful." "Go get 'em." "Bye!" "Have a good time!" "Go, go, Kiki!" "Go, go, Kiki!" "She hasn't got the hang of it yet." "She's well past the lake and doing just fine." "I'm going to miss the sound of that little bell." "Which way are we headed?" "I think south, to the ocean." "Climb up and turn on the radio." "I don't think I can."

"It was." "Newcomer, I suppose." "I must be." "I just left home tonight." "Would you mind turning off that music?" "I prefer to fly without accompaniment." "Is it really hard to get settled into a place you've never been?" "Oh, yes." "Lots can go wrong." "But since I'm good at fortune-telling, I can handle anything." "Fortunes?" "In fact, I've started telling fortunes about love lately." "What's your special skill?" "I haven't made up my mind yet." "Uh-huh." "Well, I'm nearly finished with my training period." "It'll be terrific to go home with confidence." "That's my town down there." "It's not big or terribly interesting, but I like it." "Good luck to you." "Thanks." "Good-bye!" "Disgusting." "What a stuck-up cat." "I have to have a special skill." "What was that about good weather?" "I hope you're not going to do what I think you're going to do."

"Think there might be other witches there?" "How would I know?" "Let's go!" "You all right back there?" "Look." "A big town by the sea." "Can you believe my luck?" "A clock tower and everything!" "What if there are some witches living here?" "There may not be." "Am I gonna like it here!" "It's a trifle large for my taste." "Bless my hourglass!" "If that ain't a witch!" "Good morning!" "Are there any other witches in this town?" "No." "Can't say as I've seen a single one of'em lately." "How about that?" "Our trip is over." "We're gonna settle down right here." "Thanks, mister!" "Bye!" "Don't mention it!" "Tell me we're not landing down there." "Of course we are." "Everybody's looking at us." "I know." "Smile and make a good first impression." "Well, you see, I'm a witch." "My name is Kiki." "This is my black cat Jiji." "We'd be honored if we could live here." "We'd love to live here." "You have a wonderful bell tower." "We're glad you like it, my dear." "Bye!" "Hey, kid, what were you doing jumping into the street like that?" "You almost caused an accident." "You must be crazy, zooming around on a broom in public." "I'm a new witch, sir." "We're supposed to fly around." "You're supposed to obey the law the same as other people." "What's your name and address?" "Are you gonna tell my parents?" "Of course, if it's necessary." "I have to." "You're a minor." "Thief!" "Somebody stop him!" "Stop, thief!" "Don't you move from there!" "Kiki." "Wait up!" "It worked out pretty good, huh?" "Good plan to get rid of that cop, huh?" "I was the one yelling@Thief!" "@" "You're a real witch, right?" "Could I look at that broom?" "Hey, Tombo!" "Isn't it a bit early for girl hunting?" "Hey, you guys, shut up." "Let me look at your broom." "Please?" "Just for a minute." "I didn't ask for your help." "I guess I have to thank you... but it was rude for you to do something without introducing yourself." "How old-fashioned." "You sound like my grandma." "Go away and leave me alone!" "What a cool witch." "Stay here alone?" "I don't understand." "Aren't your parents here with you?" "No." "I'm a witch, so since I'm 13, I'm supposed to be completely independent." "May I see some identification?" "Never mind then." "Are you going to eat that?" "You can have it." "It's going to be getting dark fairly soon." "Let's go." "Let's just find another town." "There must be plenty of nice ones." "Perhaps one even bigger than this one." "Lady!" "Your pacifier!" "Lady, you forgot this!" "When that baby wakes up and doesn't find this, she's gonna cry." "I'm sorry, sir, but could you wait just a minute?" "I'll be right back." "I could bring it down to her." "What?" "The woman with the baby carriage, right?" "It'd be easy." "I'd really like to." "That'd be a big help." "Thank you very much." "My pleasure." "Let's go, Jiji." "Wow!" "Sorry to startle you, but you left this pacifier in the bakery." "Here you go." "I'd like one of those." "Sure." "Hi!" "Come on in." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Bye." "There you are." "I must say, I nearly fainted when I saw you fly off." "That woman told me to give you this message right away." "@I got the pacifier you sent." "Be sure to thank your little friend." "She's an absolute angel.@" "I'm glad I could help you out." "Bye!" "Where are you going so fast?" "Have something to drink." "Come up here." "Sit down and relax." "I'll make some hot chocolate." "Thank you very much." "And this is for you." "Let me guess." "You're a witch in training." "Yes, but people don't seem fond of witches in this town." "There are many kinds of people in this town who will like you." "Take me, for instance." "I like you very much." "Found a place to stay yet?" "You should have told me you hadn't." "We have a vacant room in the attic you can stay in." "You'd give me a room?" "I'd be happy to." "Let me introduce myself." "I'm Osono." "My name's Kiki." "This is my black cat Jiji." "It's not very clean at the moment, but it's all yours." "Thank you." "Bathroom and water are downstairs." "Don't hesitate to ask for anything." "Thank you!" "There's flour everywhere." "At this rate, I'll be a white cat by morning." "Jiji, come look at the ocean from here." "Shall we try to find another town?" "The Freedom Adventurer... sponsored by the World Airship Popularization Association... has commenced its maiden voyage to Antarctica." "What a snob she is." "I've decided not to leave this town." "Maybe I can find others like Osono... who will like me and accept me for what I am." "How much do you think a phone would cost to put in here?" "A phone?" "Yeah." "For my business." "Good morning, everyone." "Did you sleep well?" "Yes!" "That smells good." "Can I help out?" "A delivery service, huh?" "I have one skill... flying... so I thought a delivery service was a good idea." "Everyone will love it." "Kiki's Flying Delivery Service." "And you can base the business out of your room upstairs if you want to." "@If I want to@?" "Oh, boy!" "I'd like to put a phone up there." "But a phone costs money." "I have some saved up already." "Don't waste it." "Why not use our phone?" "It takes time to get regular customers." "If you help around the bakery, you won't have to pay rent or the phone bill." "I need a lot of help since I'm expecting a baby." "And I'll throw in free breakfast too." "Thank you!" "I'll do my very best for you." "You're such a wonderful person!" "Jiji, come on!" "I'm all done!" "It's time to go shopping." "Stop jumping out into the street." "We're not at home." "I'm sorry." "I won't do it again." "I've never been more embarrassed in my whole life." "It was so terrible!" "I wish I had something pretty to wear besides this robe." "Boy, this is expensive." "Kiki, look!" "It's me!" "Do you have any money left?" "A little." "We'll just have to eat a lot of pancakes for a while." "Wow!" "Those are beautiful." "Wait!" "Pull over a second!" "Hey, yo!" "Miss Witch!" "Turn around!" "Nice goin', Tombo!" "Not flying today?" "What'd I tell you?" "Black is all she wears." "Wait!" "Come back!" "I'm sorry!" "I was only kidding!" "Perfect timing, Kiki." "A lady wants you to deliver something." "She's your first customer." "Customer?" "I'll be right back!" "The map!" "This lady is a customer of ours." "We were talking about your delivery service." "You are a cute little witch." "My name's Kiki, ma'am." "I've heard wonderful things about you." "Could you deliver this by tonight?" "Yes!" "It's my nephew's birthday." "An urgent job came up, so I can't get there myself to give him his present." "Where do you want it delivered?" "That's me." "It won't be too far?" "I can fly there directly from here." "How much do you want?" "I haven't really set a price yet." "Is this enough?" "This is more than enough." "Thank you very much, ma'am." "Oh, wow!" "That's great!" "I certainly wish I could fly." "Yeah!" "Hey, do you know that girl?" "How high do you intend to go?" "It's my first delivery." "I don't want to be stopped by that police officer." "I was afraid you were going to deliver it to the angels." "I'm guessing it's just beyond the cape." "Here we go!" "I'm liking this town more and more." "I'm not sure what I think." "I'll finally be able to write Mom." "Those are wild geese." "Wonderful!" "They're flying along with us!" "They seem awfully upset." "They say a wind's coming." "They also say they're going higher." "I'm sorry." "I..." "Oww!" "Please!" "I'm sorry!" "I wasn't trying to steal your eggs!" "I've never been so scared." "It's your fault." "They warned us of that wind, but you didn't listen." "You're right." "That's beautiful." "They were able to fly that high up with the wind." "Kiki!" "The toy is gone!" "We've gotta go back to where we fell!" "They're saying, @The egg thief's coming again!" "@" "What are we gonna do?" "Hey!" "Stop that!" "Don't do that!" "Stop it!" "We're in trouble." "They're still upset." "Witches get no respect these days." "Crows used to be witches' servants." "That was a long time ago, okay?" "How about we go in after the forest is dark, get it and get out?" "We'll never make it in time." "There's only one way to do it." "They'll find out I'm a fake." "After I find it, I'll be right back to help you out." "Is that the place?" "Yes." "Don't move a muscle." "Can I breathe?" "Hold it as long as you can." "Yea!" "Give me my present!" "That's pretty weird." "A bit late, aren't you?" "After my sister telephoned, we were wondering where you were." "I'm sorry." "Oh." "Could I please have your signature?" "Mom, can I put the canaries in here?" "Uh-huh, but be careful you don't let any of them escape." "Okay." "Thank you very much." "Have a nice day." "Come on, birdie!" "I'm gonna put you in a bigger house!" "Please hurry, Kiki." "I know it was here, so it's gotta be around someplace." "There it is!" "Excuse me!" "Anybody home?" "Can you please help me?" "Anybody?" "Anybody here?" "Yeah!" "I can't come down right now." "Why don't you come up?" "What do you want?" "That stuffed black cat you put behind your window?" "I'm sorry, but it's mine." "I dropped it." "Be good, and don't move yet." "I found it in the forest." "Would you give it back to me, please?" "Hang on a minute." "I can't stop just now." "Nice." "Very nice." "You're beautiful just the way you are." "You really should have told me you were in a hurry." "I got sort of fond of it." "I'm sorry." "The stuffing's coming out." "I'll bet the crows did it." "They were making a big fuss over it." "What am I gonna do?" "I can't deliver it like this." "Say!" "How about we work out a deal?" "That's pretty exciting." "And at 13 too." "To be completely independent." "That's great." "Can you fix it?" "Trust me." "Ketto, time for your bath." "Quickly!" "The guests will be here soon!" "Ketto!" "I'm done." "Thank you so much!" "You'd better help Jiji before it's too late." "But I haven't finished yet." "You've done enough." "Go help him." "Thanks!" "Jeff likes my present more than me!" "It is strange, you know." "He adores that stuffed cat." "He won't leave it alone." "He thinks it's a puppy." "Your sister's not going to be happy to hear that." "That's okay." "I gave it to Jeff anyway." "Remember to tell Auntie@thank you.@" "You should be nicer to him." "Jeff is a very old dog." "But, Grandma, all he does is sleep!" "I suppose that's true." "Ketto, go open the door." "Jeff wants to go out." "Be sure to push the door shut when you're finished." "Jiji!" "Kiki, what took you so long?" "I'm sorry." "That marvelous dog helped me escape." "He said he'd be happy to help us out if he could." "Would you take this back in?" "What's the matter?" "I'm famished." "Yeah, me too." "And I'm tired too." "But it sure was a wonderful adventure." "And that painter who found the stuffed cat wants to do a drawing with me in it." "Naked?" "Don't be silly!" "@Kiki's Delivery Service@" "Boring." "What are you doing?" "You're supposed to be minding the shop." "I am, but nobody's coming in today." "But it always gets busy around now." "I know, but that's not what I mean." "I mean my customers." "Jiji, if nobody comes in I'll have to eat pancakes forever... and be fat, fat, fat!" "So, what am I supposed to do?" "I think pancakes are superb, providing they're not burned, of course." "You're no help." "When you get fat, see if I care." "Beautiful, isn't she?" "Somebody told me she's a fashion designer." "Personally, I'm not very fond of her conceited cat." "Hello." "Gutiokipan Bakery." "Pardon?" "Yes, ma'am." "About time we got a customer." "4:30 will be a perfect time to pick it up." "If you'll just..." "Uh-huh." "And the address?" "Yes." "The blue roof." "Right." "Yes, I'm sure I have it all." "Thank you very much." "Hi." "I'll take this one." "Okay?" "Thank you very much." "Good afternoon." "Are you still mad at me?" "We're having a party at the club tonight." "It's called the flying club, and we'd really like you to come." "Here's your invitation." "It really is a serious club." "Everybody would be very happy if you came." "May I help you?" "They tell me you have a delivery service." "Oh." "Pardon me." "Yes, of course we do." "It's urgent this package arrive tonight." "Can you do it?" "Of course we can..." "Are you gonna be all right?" "Uh-huh." "Can I help you?" "Uh-uh." "I'll be back at 6:00, so make up your mind by then." "How much will that be?" "Will that be inside or outside the city limits?" "I wrote it down on the box." "The box?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Osono!" "I got an invitation to a party at Tombo's flying club." "Terrific!" "You'll have a wonderful time." "But what am I gonna wear?" "Kiki, I wouldn't worry too much." "You look fine in that." "It makes you look beautiful and mysterious." "You mean it?" "Any work yet?" "I almost forgot about it!" "It's already 4:00!" "Oh, no!" "Can you watch the store till I get back?" "Jiji!" "Jiji!" "Why are you going to this party when you're so mad at him?" "I have to concentrate." "This thing is so heavy." "Be quiet." "Thank you." "Come on!" "Our next appointment is at 4:30." "There's the blue roof." "My name's Kiki." "Someone telephoned for a delivery service, so here I am." "Right this way, dear." "You're right on time." "Yes, ma'am." "Madam, the delivery girl is here." "What?" "Oh, my goodness." "Is it that time already?" "What a pleasant surprise." "Please make yourself at home, my dear." "Come, come." "Thanks." "May I take that for you?" "Broom and black cat." "It's just like my great-grandmother always told me." "My name is Kiki, and I'm a witch." "Oh, but what a cute little girl you are." "I'm so sorry, but that pie you were supposed to deliver isn't ready yet." "The temperature doesn't seem to go up at all." "Something's wrong." "Machines don't work when they become old like me." "I was hoping you could deliver it hot to my grandchild's birthday party." "It's one of my favorite recipes:" "Herring and pumpkin pie." "I guess I have to admit defeat." "I'll have to phone her and tell her I'm sorry." "I feel just awful having you come here for nothing." "Bertha!" "Would you get her money, please." "Certainly, ma'am." "All of it." "Pay her the amount we agreed on." "Oh, no." "Please!" "Now, don't be silly." "It's not your fault it wasn't ready." "I have no other jobs today." "Maybe I could help." "Does that oven over there work?" "You mean that one?" "It used to be the only one I ever used, but I haven't opened it in years." "If it burns firewood, I can help." "I used to help my mom all the time." "It's a big job to build a fire." "It's a great idea, madam." "I never did like that electric thing, and we have plenty of firewood." "I can build a fire." "Well, I'm not sure, but if you think you can build it..." "Have you considered that this might make you late for your party?" "I can't take money for nothing." "Come on." "We have to hurry up." "Look what I found." "And it works!" "You're very good at this, my dear." "Your mother taught you well." "Oh, my goodness, it's so exciting." "Never did like electricity." "It should be about time." "Yes, very good." "Well done." "And now we wait." "About 40 minutes or so." "Right?" "Exactly right." "So why don't we take a little break?" "Do you need help with anything else?" "Oh!" "Well, if you'd really like to..." "Thanks very much." "You're very welcome." "You're going to be late for the party." "Stop worrying." "It'll only take me 15 minutes if I fly there fast." "Would you care for some tea?" "I just made it fresh." "I just remembered." "Won't you be late for your party?" "It won't be a problem." "It'll take me 15 minutes from here." "But, my dear, that clock runs about ten minutes slow." "What'll I do?" "See if the pie's ready." "Bertha!" "Bertha!" "Is the pie ready?" "It smells fine, so you'd better hurry." "Better hurry!" "Come on!" "Okay." "Don't forget your money." "That's way too much." "Not for what you've done." "Hurry up, Kiki, or you'll be late!" "Have a good time!" "Be careful!" "What happened to all that good weather?" "My whiskers are tingling." "Could we get out of the rain?" "We can't!" "That'll only make us later!" "Besides, the food will get cold if we stop." "Yes?" "I have a delivery." "But it's completely wet." "I'm sorry." "It began to rain on the way." "But the food came through all right." "I told Grandma I didn't want that." "Oh, boy!" "Grandma sent over another one of her crummy herring pies again!" "Um, would you please sign this receipt for me?" "I hate Grandma's stupid pies." "She can't possibly have been her granddaughter." "Do you think we can still make it in time?" "Look!" "Tombo's down there!" "We can still make it." "That certainly was quite an ordeal." "That boy waited a very long time." "Doesn't matter anyway." "I can't go in these wet clothes." "Kiki, what's wrong?" "Do you have a headache?" "Why don't we grab a bite to eat?" "I know I'm famished." "Kiki!" "Not feeling very well, huh?" "You have quite a fever." "Is someone pounding on my head?" "I'll bet you never dried yourself off completely yesterday." "Am I gonna shrivel up and die?" "You have a cold, is all." "I'll bring up some medicine." "And you should eat something." "I'm not hungry." "It'll be better if you eat now." "How about some oatmeal with raisins?" "Like some, Jiji?" "Oatmeal's the best thing for a cold." "There you go." "Don't burn your tongue." "Come and eat your oatmeal before it gets cold." "Do I have to eat?" "If you want to get well." "That boy was in the shop a while ago this morning." "Huh?" "When I told him you were sick, he asked how a witch could catch a cold." "Oh, yes." "He said he wanted to visit you a little later." "Oh, no!" "I figured you might say that, so I politely refused." "You're tired." "Just relax and sleep." "I'll just open this window so you have a little air." "Osono." "Hmm?" "Um, never mind." "Jiji!" "Jiji!" "What?" "Jiji!" "Breakfast is ready!" "Kiki?" "Feeling better this morning?" "Much better, thank you." "I'm sorry." "I didn't realize I'd overslept." "That's okay." "Come down here." "I have a favor to ask of you." "Okay." "@Koppori.@ Is that right?" "Uh-huh." "Is this enough money?" "That's all right." "It's close enough to walk from here." "Don't be silly." "Work is work." "And be sure to deliver it to him direct." "Jiji!" "You have work?" "It's not far away." "Who's your friend?" "Lily's her name." "I'll be down." "Don't worry." "I'll be back in a minute." "Pleasure to meet you." "Ahh!" "Wonderful." "Hey!" "Miss Witch!" "Taking a walk?" "I'm looking for someone named Koppori." "Hey, that's my name!" "Go around that way." "I'll be right with you." "I'll bet Osono planned this." "Gee, thanks a lot." "I want to apologize for making you wait the other night." "I'm sorry you got wet." "Want to come over to my place?" "I have something to show you." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "That party was to celebrate the completion of this thing." "This is the engine of a man-propelled plane." "Like it?" "We're assembling the wings and the frame at somebody else's house." "I'm planning on flying this thing during my summer vacation." "I got it!" "Let's go to the beach where that dirigible made a forced landing!" "@Dirigible@?" "You didn't see it on TV?" "I was sleeping." "Then we have to go!" "We're going with this?" "Why not?" "I have to practice anyway." "Gotta build up my legs." "Okay." "Ready?" "I've never ridden a bicycle before." "Oh, boy!" "Even better!" "Brace the bike with your foot until I get her revved up." "Let's go!" "Okay!" "Should I get off?" "No!" "Go faster!" "Go!" "That's great!" "Hang in there!" "Swing your body to the inside when we go around the curve." "Otherwise it won't turn very well." "Now!" "Great!" "You're doing fine!" "Yahoo!" "Great!" "The dirigible, right?" "Right." "We're flying!" "Tombo, are you okay?" "Yeah." "Are you all right?" "I'm okay." "Does my face look that funny?" "I'm sorry, but when we flew over that cliff, I was so scared!" "I was scared too." "I'll bet you used some magic." "I'm not sure." "I was so frightened." "Your poor bike." "It's a mess." "Oh, no!" "Am I in trouble!" "Will you look after the bike for me?" "What went wrong?" "I pedaled too hard!" "That's why it busted!" "Wait there!" "Sure would be terrific to go around the world in a dirigible like that." "How'd it make you feel, the first time you ever went flying?" "I can't recall." "I was too young to remember." "But my mom told me I wasn't scared a bit." "Gosh, I sure wish I was born into a witch family." "You can just fly away on a broomstick, but me..." "That's all I can do." "I don't find flying that much fun." "It's more of a job to me." "It's not fun for you, but I'd think it would be, putting your talents to work." "I sort of feel my confidence slipping." "But I'm glad I came with you today." "I feel better sitting by the ocean." "I could bring you here anytime you want and train myself at the same time." "You're a very nice person." "You just found out?" "I used to think you were some sort of clown." "My mom says the same thing." "@You clown!" "Quit looking up to the sky and get back to your books!" "@" "Tombo!" "Huh?" "Hey!" "Guess what!" "What?" "Something good!" "Come here!" "I'll be right back." "Wait here." "They said we could go in the dirigible." "Coming?" "They what?" "Wow!" "Of course!" "Hey, who's your girlfriend?" "That's Kiki the Witch." "She even flies." "Come on over, Kiki!" "They're gonna show us around inside that dirigible!" "No, thanks." "Ah, come on." "It'll be fun." "Express Home Delivery." "I'm positive that's her." "You mean she's a working girl?" "My, how independent." "Come on." "I'll introduce you to everybody." "No, thanks." "See you later." "What's the matter?" "What are you so mad about?" "I'm not mad at all." "I have a lot of work to do, so just leave me alone." "Tombo, forget her!" "Come on!" "I think something's wrong with me." "I make friends, then suddenly I can't bear to be with any of them." "Seems like that other me, the cheerful and honest one... went away somewhere." "Some friend you are." "Jiji, I don't care if you do have a girlfriend." "You can't be late for every meal." "And clean up after yourself." "What are you talking like a cat for?" "Jiji." "Oh, no!" "Talk to me!" "You mean you can't speak anymore?" "Jiji!" "I wonder what happened to him." "I can't figure out a word he says anymore." "Oh, my gosh!" "I'm losing my witch's powers." "You can't fly anymore?" "Have you lost your magic?" "It's become very weak, so I think I've gotta take a break from delivery work." "But I'll work really hard in the bakery, so please let me stay in my room." "Of course you can stay." "Will your powers come back after you've rested?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "I can make another broom, but..." "Hey, look!" "It's me, Tombo." "Did you see me today?" "I was waving at you from the dirigible." "The captain allowed me into the control cabin during the test flight." "It was great!" "Hello?" "Kiki, are you there?" "Please don't call me anymore." "What?" "I can barely hear you." "The captain said he'd like to meet you." "What?" "Hey, come on!" "Don't hang up!" "What's wrong?" "You don't look like you feel well." "I'm still training to be a witch." "If I lose my magic, that means I've lost absolutely everything." "Kiki!" "Hi!" "You didn't come pay me a visit, so I had to come visit you." "I'm sorry." "Well, I also came to shop a little." "Come on in." "I'm done now." "We can take a break." "You'd better believe I will." "Nice place you have." "Help yourself to these." "I'll make some fresh tea." "No tea, thanks." "Do you have some milk?" "Sure." "Well, well." "Positively amazing." "He's the spitting image of that stuffed cat." "You're Jiji, right?" "How's the home delivery business?" "That bad, huh?" "I'm not working much now." "I thought you seemed depressed." "I didn't know things like that happened to witches." "Hey!" "Why not come and stay at my little place?" "Huh?" "Tell your boss you need a break." "They can live without you for a night." "How about it, pussy cat?" "Rather be with your girlfriend, huh?" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Hurry!" "The bus is leaving!" "I'm bushed!" "It's so beautiful here." "Must've been blind, with two beautiful girls in front of him." "What do you mean, you thought I was a boy?" "Well, look at the way you're dressed." "Tell me what kind of boy has these legs, mister." "Crows!" "We've become real close friends." "Wow." "Hello, everybody." "We're home again." "Good afternoon." "I'm sorry I bothered you before." "Make yourself at home while I get some water." "Like it?" "Amazing." "I got the idea for it after we met the first time." "But I really haven't got the girl's face right." "I've been waiting for you to come back to get it right." "You mean, that's me?" "Yes." "Would you be my model?" "But I'm not very beautiful." "Why do you want me?" "You've got a great face." "Besides, it's prettier than it was the last time." "Come on." "Don't be scared." "Sit here." "Lift up your head a little." "Look beyond the horizon." "Don't move." "Very good." "Painting and magical powers seem to be very similar." "Sometimes I can't paint a thing." "You mean it?" "Then what happens?" "Kiki, don't move!" "Don't look over here." "Without even thinking about it I used to be able to fly." "Now I can't even begin to remember how I ever managed to do it." "At times like that, you know what I do?" "Paint." "That gets rid of my frustrations." "But still, if I can't fly..." "Then I just stop." "Take long walks, look at the scenery, doze off at noon." "Don't do a single thing." "Then, suddenly, you'll be able to fly again." "Maybe that'll help." "Trust me." "It'll happen." "Come on, don't ruin the pose." "When I was your age, I'd already decided to become an artist." "I loved painting." "I even painted in my sleep." "Then one day, for no reason, I became unable to paint." "So I painted and painted some more, but none of it was any good." "They were copies of paintings I'd seen somewhere before." "Just copies of ones I'd seen somewhere." "I swore I'd paint my own pictures." "That must've been hard." "But after that..." "it's not much easier now." "I think I found what painting means, at least for me." "To fly, you don't chant a spell or something, right?" "Mm-hmm." "We fly with our spirit." "The witch's spirit?" "Perfect!" "That's what I'm talking about." "The spirit of witches." "The spirit of artists." "The spirit of bakers!" "I suppose it must be a power given by God." "Sometimes you suffer for it." "I guess I never gave witchcraft much thought." "That talk about discipline and training was so old-fashioned." "I was so happy that you came all that way to see me." "If I had been alone tonight, I would've been one giant ball of frustration." "There have been many times I've thought of painting over that painting." "Why?" "It's so beautiful." "You know, when I saw you today..." "I looked at your sad face and thought,@I've found it!" "@" "I knew I could paint you." "But that's not fair!" "All's fair in love and art." "Let's go to sleep." "Okay." "Sorry about taking your bed from you." "Don't worry about it." "Can I visit you once in a while?" "Sure." "Anytime during the summer." "That is, if I can visit you too." "Uh-huh!" "The intercontinental dirigible Freedom Adventurer... recently downed in a spectacular forced landing... due to torrential rains just outside the city limits... has now been repaired." "Hello." "Gutiokipan Bakery." "Kiki, how was it?" "Take plenty of time and get rested up." "That elderly lady you made the delivery for has something else for you to take." "Should I tell her no?" "I've told her you'd be away for some time, but she kept insisting." "Then stop on your way back." "Bye." "Afternoon, ma'am." "Well, well." "We've been expecting you." "Come in." "There are less than five minutes to takeoff now." "Very nice to see you again, ma'am." "I'm glad you came." "Excuse me for not standing, but my legs are bothering me more than usual." "Bertha, bring the package." "Yes!" "I hope it hasn't taken off yet." "Not yet." "Bertha's absolutely mad about lighter-than-air travel." "I'm the adventuresome type." "Turn the volume down." "Would you open the box?" "Uh-huh." "You want me to deliver it?" "Would you please deliver it to a girl named Kiki?" "She was kind to me and a tremendous help." "It's my way of saying@thank you.@" "And would you find out when her next birthday might be?" "Then I'll be able to bake her another one." "Kiki." "I will." "And I'm sure Kiki will want to know the lady's birthday... so she'll be able to give her a present." "You've got a deal." "What happened?" "There's been a terrible catastrophe." "Oh, no!" "The tie-down ropes holding the blimp are breaking one by one!" "It's drifting straight toward our television cameras." "My God, it's going to..." "Oh!" "They always leave me hanging at the most exciting part!" "These winds always come in midsummer." "They'll be hitting us pretty soon." "It'll pass by quickly." "Don't worry." "Oh, goody, it's back on." "Look!" "Look at that!" "It's completely upside-down!" "The Freedom Adventurer has been shaken by great winds..." "It's like a balloon in that position." "It has broken loose from its mooring and drifted into an upside-down position." "A desperate, last-ditch effort is being made to tie the dirigible down... and keep it from drifting away." "It's extremely doubtful whether it can be done..." "Oh, no!" "It's useless!" "That's my friend Tombo holding on to that rope!" "... attached to the end of the cable as though it were a toy!" "There's a young boy hanging on to the cable!" "He's being lifted away along with the police car!" "I don't believe what I'm seeing!" "Oh, the humanity!" "Are you sure it's your friend?" "I have to go!" "Be careful!" "Oh, dear." "What's happening?" "Hold on there, son!" "Just hold your grip steady!" "Release the helium from the tail!" "All citizens are requested to remain calm." "Do not panic." "The helium inside the dirigible will not explode." "Tombo." "Any word about the boy hanging on the rope?" "The latest report was that the police car dropped into a pool!" "Clear the street!" "Get on the sidewalk!" "You there in that car!" "Do not block the street!" "Are you feeling all right?" "Please, sir, may I borrow your broom?" "Huh?" "I promise I'll bring it right back." "Well, I suppose that's okay." "Thank you very much!" "Fly." "Oh, my goodness!" "Hey!" "Oh, no!" "Look out!" "Straighten up and fly right, or I'll burn you!" "The boy appears safe... but the dirigible is on a collision course directly for the clock tower." "If the wind doesn't shift direction... the Freedom Adventurer will surely smash into the tower!" "We gotta get up higher!" "We're gonna hit the tower!" "There's not enough helium!" "Before we hit, jump onto the tower!" "Aye, aye, Captain!" "Hey there!" "Over here!" "Come on!" "Get out of the way!" "Grab hold of this!" "That way!" "Hurry!" "Oh, no!" "That sound is the helium gas leaking." "The condition of the boy is unknown." "From where I'm standing..." "Oh, no!" "Too much gas has escaped, and it's falling!" "It's snagged on another building!" "Hey, look!" "Over there!" "It's a miracle!" "The boy has managed to keep hold of the rope!" "It's a miracle!" "But how can anyone rescue him now?" "That boy is hanging on for dear life." "Something just flew by!" "Is it a bird?" "No, no, it's not a bird!" "It's a young girl!" "Yes, there is a young girl soaring through the sky!" "Wow!" "Go, girl!" "She can fly now!" "Get 'em, Kiki!" "Tombo!" "Kiki!" "Come on!" "Be a good broom and help me out!" "Hang on, young fella!" "Don't give up!" "Hold on!" "She's almost there!" "Tombo!" "Kiki!" "Hold on!" "Don't give up now!" "Don't give up, son." "Don't give up!" "Don't give up!" "She caught him in midair!" "I've never seen anything so amazing!" "That broom is mine." "I gave it to her myself." "She did it!" "She did it!" "You're so brave, Kiki." "Positively amazing." "Better call the hospital." "I'll be ready any minute now." "Jiji!" "We just got a letter from Kiki!" "@Dear Mother and Father, How are you doing?" "Jiji and I are fine.@" "Regarding my work, it certainly seems everything is falling into place." "I'm even starting to gain some confidence." "There are still times when I feel sad... but all in all, I sure love this town." "We've been receiving... so many calls, asking about this marvelous airship... the Spirit of Freedom..." "which, uh, may or may not be passing over our area soon." "I'll let you know as soon as we have more information available." "But, first, here's the weather forecast." "Skies are clearing up, thanks to a high-pressure front moving in from the mountains." "Mild winds will be blowing in from the west... pushing the clouds out by this evening." "There'll be a beautiful full moon lighting up the skies... so, if you've been planning something special, tonight might be the night." "Tomorrow also looks good with clear skies and sun." "Mornin'!" "Hi! Jiji, wake up!" "Tonight's the night." "Hmm?" "Hey, Mom!" "Oh." "Hi, Miss Dora." "Hey, Mom, it's gonna be clear tonight." "And, guess what." "The radio says there'll be a full moon!" "Did you borrow your father's radio again without asking?" "Don't worry." "He doesn't mind." "Please excuse me, Miss Dora." "Mom, it's a perfect midnight for me to leave home." "You mean tonight?" "Next month is what you told me." "Yeah, but the next full moon might be on a cloudy night." "And, I want to leave on the perfect midnight." "Huh?" "But, Kiki..." "Wait!" "Ohh..." "Uhh..." "My, oh, my." "What's this all about?" "It's one of our oldest customs that when a witch turns 13... she has to leave home for a year to begin her training." "Your little baby is 13?" "My goodness, but time flies so quickly." "I know." "She seems so young to be leaving home now." "I remember very well the exact day you arrived in this town." "A little girl flew down from the sky on her broomstick." "And, I was certain she was much too young to hold such an importantjob... as resident witch." "Yes, but I could fly." "Kiki barely knows how to do that." "And, I have had no time to teach her how to mix potions like me." "Hmm." "Young people are all the same." "They all want to do something different." "But, I hope, you at least get to teach her... the potion that cures my rheumatism." "Hurry up!" "We always said we'd leave on the perfect night, didn't we?" "Uh-uh." "Our plan was that we would stick around for another month and play it safe." "I liked that plan." "And, if we put it off for a month, and I find some wonderful boyfriend, then what'll we do?" "Uh-oh!" "Come on, Jiji!" "I'm gonna put my paws together and pray you're not serious." "Of course, I am." "You know ever since I turned 13, I've been excited about making this trip." "There." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Guess what!" "I've decided to leave tonight!" "You're..." "You're going away?" "Yeah, there's a full moon!" "Well, yeah, but what happened to the camping trip... we were supposed to take this weekend?" "Sorry, Dad!" "Aah, oh..." "Uh, Kiki, wait!" "I need..." "Whoa!" "Ya..." "Ow!" "Ahh..." "Ohh..." "Ye..." "Yeah, I'll expect you then." "Thanks." "Hi, Mom, it's me." "I wanted to make sure you knew that Kiki is leaving tonight." "Yes, midnight." "Very pretty." "Lilac would look prettier on me." "Or, white." "Witches have worn this color for a very long time, Kiki." "Oh, Mom, I look really dumb." "It's not really important what color your dress is." "What matters is the heart inside." "Well, I'm gonna be the very best witch that I can be, Mom." "And, I know having a good heart is important." "Just follow your heart and keep smiling." "Yeah." "And, be sure to write home as soon as you're settled." "Okay." "Dad!" "Oh." "Can I please take the radio?" "Mom, didn't you say I could have the radio?" "Mm-hmm." "Yea!" "All right." "It's yours already." "Thank you!" "Well, now." "You certainly look very grown up." "My little princess." "#Ta-da ##" "You look just like your mother, when she was young." "I'm glad about that." "Dad, can you lift me up high, like when I was little?" "Well..." "Uhh..." "Uh..." "I don't know." "Oh..." "Here we go!" "Oh." "How come you never told me you were growin' up so fast?" "If things don't work out, you can always come home." "And come back a failure?" "Ooh-aghh! Will you write us if you have the time?" "Mm-hmm." "Oh, I love you, Dad." "After all, she is a baby." "I won't disagree with you there." "It's beautiful." "But aren't you worried about Kiki living in the big city all alone?" "Of course they are, but KikI'll be just fine." "You're gonna find a city by the ocean?" "Or maybe a town?" "Uh-huh." "That's what I'm hoping, anyway." "Wow." "You're gonna have such a good time." "Wow, I'm so jealous." "You'll have so much fun!" "But I'm not going just for a good time." "In order to be a good witch, I have to train a year away from home." "Yeah." "Be sure to tell that to the boys." "Kiki, it's time." "'Kay!" "Oh." "That's the broom you're going to be leaving on?" "Yep!" "I just made it this morning all by myself." "Honey, it's too small to be really safe." "I'd rather you took my broom." "I know it better." "But, Mom, that one's so old!" "And, that's why it's good." "You can rely on it time after time in any kind of weather." "Now, Kiki, do this for me, please." "But I put so much work into this one." "Right, Jiji?" "Your broom is nice, but let's take your mother's." "You're no help!" "Now, Kiki, can't you make yourself another fine broom when you get settled down?" "Mm-hmm." "Umm-hmm." "Be careful." "You be strong, okay?" "I will!" "Bye!" "Bye, Kiki!" "Fly safely!" "Go get 'em!" "Good-bye!" "Oh, dear!" "Go, Kiki!" "Go, Kiki!" "Go, Kiki!" "Go, Kiki!" "Go, Kiki!" "Go!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Bear right!" "Go left!" "Go left!" "Go left!" "Okay!" "Oww!" "Aim your broomstick!" "Good-bye, everybody!" "I'll miss you!" "She's okay." "May our little baby be well and have a safe trip." "I'm going to miss the wonderful sound of those bells." "Mm-hmm." "Where are we going?" "I'm headed south to see the ocean." "Jiji, climb up and turn on the radio." "I don't think I can handle it." "Can you do it?" "Oh, great!" "Now, I'm suddenly the flight attendant." "## Uhh-ah..." "Uhh-uhh... ##My heart is ready to beat ##" "##I can feel the wind underneath my feet ##" "##I'm gonna jump over the moon ##" "##Hands in the air waving up like a balloon ##" "##I'm free as a bird ##" "##Lost in the stars and waving down to Earth ##" "##Don't know where I'm gonna land ##" "##But ya gotta wobble before you stand ##" "##I'm soaring ##" "##All alone and on my own ##" "##I'm soaring ##" "##And I know my heart will lead me home ##" "##Just look in my eyes ##" "## Can't you see I'm not the same today ##" "##I can see farther now ##" "##Stepped off the edge I'm making my own way ##" "##Don't know where I'm gonna land ##" "##But ya gotta wobble before you stand ##" "##I'm soaring ##" "##All alone and on my own ##" "##I'm soaring ##" "##And I know my heart will lead me home #### Hey." "Good evening!" "It was!" "You're new, aren't you?" "Yep!" "How'd ya guess?" "I just left home tonight." "Uh-huh." "Would you mind turning off that radio?" "I prefer to fly without being distracted." "Oh!" "Yeah, sure!" "Could you tell me?" "Is it really hard to get settled into a brand-new city?" "Oh, yes." "A lot can go wrong." "But since my skill is fortune-telling, I can handle anything." "Fortune-telling?" "Yes." "I tell fortunes about love." "Wow!" "And, what exactly is your skill?" "Um..." "Well, I haven't really decided that yet." "Ah." "Well, I'm nearly finished with my training period." "I'm going home soon to show off my new skills." "That's my town down there." "It's so big!" "Yes." "To you, I'm sure it looks big." "I hope you don't have too tough a time." "Thanks!" "Ciao!" "Jeez, what a snob!" "And did you see that cat?" "What's my skill? Whooaa!" "What are we gonna do?" "We can't stay up!" "Hold on!" "Whoa!" "All right." "First, don't panic!" "Second, don't panic!" "And, third..." "Did I mention not to panic?" "Hold on tight!" "Ohh!" "Huh?" "Mmm-mmm!" "Kiki, that opening is extremely small!" "'Kay!" "Nice landing." "Uh..." "We better rest here until it's dry." "Won't we get in trouble?" "Not if nobody finds us." "Oh, dear." "This is perfect." "Oh..." "I'm soaked through down to the bone." "Hello?" "Uhh... uh!" "Ahh!" "Mmm!" "This smells great!" "And, it's warm too!" "Let's get some sleep." "Kiki, I get the feeling we're not alone." "Night, Jiji." "Yeoww!" "Ahh!" "Ah!" "Aha!" "Aha-ha-ha." "I think I hear cows!" "I think I smell cows." "Oops!" "Sorry." "We didn't mean to fall asleep in your breakfast." "Wow!" "Jiji, you've gotta come see the ocean." "It's beautiful!" "Big deal." "It's just a big puddle of water." "Look!" "Up ahead!" "Mm-hmm..." "And this would be interesting because?" "It's a city, floating on waves!" "Isn't it wonderful!" "It's all right." "I guess." "How lovely!" "I wonder if they have a witch there." "Oh, great." "Ready." "Set." "Go-o-o!" "Hold on!" "Ah!" "Oh! You okay back there?" "Fine." "Wow!" "This is just the kind of place I've always imagined." "Look out below!" "Whoo-whoo!" "Whoo!" "Hi there!" "Whoo!" "Hello!" "'Lo! Wow!" "A clock tower." "Look at this city!" "A place like this would be great to live in." "But there may be some witches living here already." "And, there may not be." "Steady." "Careful." "Careful." "Where are we going now, Kiki?" "The clock tower." "I bet you can see the whole city from there." "There're so many beautiful buildings!" "There are a lot of buildings..." "Yes." "Ahh..." "Jiji, look at all the cars!" "Yes." "Lots and lots of cars." "And, the market!" "Oh..." "With much hustling and bustling..." "Yes." "Oh, Jiji, it's so amazing!" "And..." "Andjust look!" "Look at how many people there are!" "Too many, if ya ask me!" "Bless my hourglass." "It's a real, live witch!" "Good morning!" "Morning!" "Do any witches live in this town?" "Why, uh..." "Nobody's seen one around here in a long time." "That's great!" "Our trip is over." "We're staying right here." "Thanks, mister!" "Bye!" "Uh, no problem!" "Tell me we're not landing down there." "Well, of course we are!" "Hey, check that out!" "Oh, my!" "Woo-o-o!" "Ooh!" "Wow!" "Well, we're not too conspicuous." "Hey, up there." "Way to go!" "They're looking at us." "I know." "Smile, so we make a good impression." "Hee-hee." "Wow!" "Wow!" "Look." "She's got a cat!" "Good day." "Hello." "You'd think they'd never seen a girl and a cat on a broomstick before." "Kiki." "Bus!" "Uhh..." "Whoa!" "Oww!" "Ohh..." "Whoa-a-a-a!" "Hey, watch out!" "Wow..." "Whoa! Smooth." "Very smooth." "You definitely know how to make a good first impression." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Um, hi!" "My name's Kiki, and I'm a witch." "And this is Jiji." "He's my black cat." "And we'd be honored if we could live here." "Your city is so amazing." "And what a beautiful clock tower." "Oh-h-h..." "Really." "That's very nice, dear." "Bye." "Uh..." "Uhh..." "Taxi?" "Taxi?" "Hey, you kid!" "Who do you think you are, jumping out into the street like that?" "You were almost responsible for a big accident, zooming around on your broom back there." "But I'm a new witch, sir." "We're supposed to fly around." "You're supposed to obey the law." "I'm gonna have to write you up." "Now give me your name and address." "Will you tell my parents?" "Of course I'm going to tell your parents!" "I have to do that with every minor." "Thief!" "Thief!" "Hmm?" "Huh?" "Hey!" "Somebody, call the cops!" "He's gettin'away!" "Now you stay right there!" "Did he say thief?" "My goodness!" "What happened?" "Kiki, he said to stay here." "No!" "He told us to stay there!" "We don't want to get in trouble, Kiki." "Uh, Kiki?" "Hello?" "Huh?" "Miss!" "Wait up!" "I sure fooled that cop, huh?" "Hey, that was me yelling'"thief."" "You'll be okay now." "Worked out pretty good, huh?" "You gotta be a real witch, the way you can fly that broom." "Do you think, maybe, you can teach me how to fly it?" "Hey, Tombo!" "Maybe you can sweep her offher feet with that broom." "Hey, shut up, all right?" "Who-o-a!" "Hey..." "You know, miss, I love flying too." "Could I see your broom?" "Hey, wait!" "Thank you for getting me out of trouble." "But I really shouldn't be talking to you, and you wanna know why?" "It's very rude to talk to a girl before you've been introduced and before you know her name." "Hmph!" "Hmm." "You're kind of old-fashioned, aren't ya?" "You sound like my grandmother." "Just go away and leave me alone!" "Hey!" "Don't go." "Come back." "Wait up, huh?" "Ohh!" "Oh..." "Hmm." "What a cool witch." "Come on." "Stay here tonight?" "I'm afraid I don't understand." "Your parents are here with you, aren't they?" "No, sir, I'm alone." "I've come to this town because I'm a new witch in training." "Do you have some identification?" "Oh, never mind." "Hey, hey, come on over here." "Kiki, aren't you going to eat that?" "No, you can have it, Jiji." "Where are we going to stay tonight?" "Huh?" "Let's go." "Why don't we go find another town?" "I'll bet there are bigger and better ones." "Ones that are friendlier than this." "Just a thought." "Oh, dear." "Oh, my goodness!" "Hey there!" "Your pacifier!" "Ma'am, you forgot your baby's pacifier!" "Oh!" "Poor baby." "Without this, the baby'll wake up and cry all the way home." "I better go give it to her myself." "I'm sorry, folks." "But could you wait just a minute?" "I'll be right back." "Uh-huh." "Certainly." "Excuse me." "But would you like me to deliver it for you?" "What?" "The woman with the baby carriage who just went around the corner." "I could reach her in no time." "Really?" "You'd do that?" "Thank you so much." "My pleasure." "Let's go, Jiji!" "Excuse me, young lady!" "Oh!" "Oh, my goodness!" "Oh..." "Wow!" "Uh, Kiki, is this really any of our business?" "Kiki?" "No, I thought not." "Wow!" "Oh!" "Sorry to surprise you, but the lady in the bakery asked me to return this pacifier." "Oh!" "Here you go." "Here ya go." "Eh, I'd like one of those." "Yes, sir." "Oh, hi there." "Come in and wait a minute, will you?" "Excuse me." "Mmm." "These are nice and fresh." "Just out of the oven." "There you are." "All right." "Thank you very much." "Here you go." "See you tomorrow." "Bye." "Mm-hmm." "That'll be all for you?" "All right." "Thank you." "Now come back again!" "Thanks." "But of course." "When I saw you fly off, I thought for a second I was dreaming!" "The baby's mother told me to give you this message." "Hmm?" ""Thanks for returning the pacifier." "Your new delivery girl is really quite special."" "Well, I'll be on my way." "Wait!" "Wait a minute." "I really must do something to show you my thanks." "Huh?" "Follow me." "Bakery's downstairs, upstairs is home." "Sit down and relax." "Would you like some hot chocolate?" "Okay." "##" "There you go." "Thank you very much, ma'am." "And, this is for you, little guy." "So, tell me if I'm right." "I'm guessing you're a witch in training." "You're right!" "And I really love it here, but people don't seem to like witches in this town." "Depends on the people." "Now, take me, for instance." "I just met you and I know I like you." "So, tell me, whereabouts are you two staying?" "Uhh..." "Oh, I see." "Why didn't you tell me you have no place to stay?" "We have a spare room in the attic." "You can use that." "You'd really let me stay with you? Why, of course!" "But we haven't introduced ourselves." "My name's Osono." "And I'm Kiki, ma'am." "And Jiji here is my very best friend." "It's right up here, Kiki." "It may need a little dusting... but I think you'll like it." "Oh, my." "It's a little bit dustier than I remember." "If I weren't about to have a baby, I'd help you clean." "That's okay!" "All right, then." "Water and bathroom are downstairs." "Give a shout if you need anything." "Thank you." "This is... quaint." "Jiji." "This isn't dust on the floor, you know." "It's flour." "Hmph." "If you wake up tomorrow and find a white cat, it's me. Oh-h-h..." "Jiji, we can see the ocean from here! Can we look for a new town?" "Mmm!" "Well, well, well!" "Hello, kitty!" "Hmph!" "Huh!" "Pardon me, Miss Snooty Cat! I think the excitement is building for the moment when the big blimp... appears in our skies." "So, we're gonna go to Scott..." "live... as he reports in from Freedom Base One." "Jiji, I've decided not to leave this town." "Maybe I can stay and find some other nice people like Osono, You know, Jack, I think... who will like me and accept me for who I am." "Our audience would agree..." "Spectacular if the ship made some kind oflanding so everyone could get a closer look." "More sleep, thank you." "Oh. #### But the amazing thing is there's never been a dirigible... this large and this safe before." "How much do you think it would cost to get a phone here?" "A phone?" "Yep." "We're gonna need a phone." "And I personally think that what money you have should be spent on getting us back home." "Or, at least, on buying me some decent cat food." "And another thing..." "Morning, everyone!" "Well, look who's up!" "Did you sleep well?" "Yes." "Oh, that smells good!" "Can I help out?" "Sure can!" "Osono, I have something I want to talk to you about." "Whoa!" "Ooh, a delivery business, huh?" "Well, I really only have one skill and that's flying." "So I thought a delivery service wouldn't be a bad idea." "It's a great idea..." "Kiki's Flying Delivery Service." "And, since you're staying right here, I can be your very first account." "You mean it!" "Oh, that's great!" "I was planning on putting a phone upstairs." "But a phone is so expensive." "I have a little saved up already." "Don't waste your money!" "What I think you should do is use our phone." "You know it will take some time to get regular customers." "I'll make you a deal." "Since I'm expecting a baby, I could use help." "If you mind the store, once in a while, I'll let you have the room and the phone." "And, I'll throw in a free breakfast, okay?" "Yeah!" "We've got a deal!" "I'm gonna work very hard for you." "Yo..." "Osono, you're the greatest!" "Oh..." "Huh?" "Uhh..." "It's gonna be a beautiful day." "Good morning, Martha." "####" "But here at the headquarters for Spirit of Freedom operations... the flight plan is no unscheduled stops between here and the coast." "The weather right now is very favorable..." "Jiji!" "Come on!" "I'm all through!" "We're gonna go shopping." "Come on!" "Great!" "One can of cat food is all I ask." "Okay, we'll see." "Watch out! Kiki, in the city, you can't just run out into the street." "I'm sorry." "We're still alive, aren't we?" "Look, you know how boys are." "He's so cute." "I hope he's still invited to her birthday party." "Don't you?" "Yeah! I wish I had something pretty to wear." "My dress is so ugly." "Yes, ma'am, canned peas are right over there on aisle two." "$ 1. 19 a pound." "Oh, wow!" "This cost so much!" "Kiki, look!" "It's me! Thank you." "Here's your change." "Any money left, Kiki?" "Not much." "Looks like all we can afford to eat now is pancakes." "I hope I can keep my trim waist." "I wouldn't want that girl cat next door to think I'm turning into..." "Kiki!" "Kiki?" "They're so expensive!" "But look, Jiji." "Aren't they beautiful!" "Whoa!" "Whoa..." "Oh!" "Huh..." "Hey!" "Pull over!" "Hey!" "Come on." "Get off!" "There she is!" "Hey there!" "Miss Witch!" "Do you remember me?" "How come you're not flying today?" "Ahh..." "It's me!" "Do you remember?" "Tombo." "Eww, Tombo!" "Oh-oh!" "You can tell she's a witch 'cause she always wears a dark dress." "Hey, wait!" "Come back, please." "I didn't mean to insult you!" "Yeah!" "Better luck next time, Tombo!" "Come on, you guys!" "Nice dress!" "Kiki, sometimes you just have to be who you are... and not care what people think." "Oh, Kiki, perfect timing!" "There's a lady here who wants you to make a delivery!" "She's your first customer." "Customer!" "Oh, my." "I'll be right back!" "Ohh-h-h!" "Uh..." "Now, where's that map? She sounds wonderful." "Aah..." "Uh." "Ah!" "Dear, this lady is a customer of ours, and we were talking about your new delivery service." "What a charming girl!" "My name's Kiki, ma'am." "Osono's told me great things about you." "Do you think you can deliver this by tonight?" "Yeah!" "I can." "It's a birthday gift for my nephew." "But something came up at work, and I can't make it to the party on time." "I can get it there for you, guaranteed." "Show me on the map where you want it delivered." "Huh?" "But that's me." "Are you sure it won't be too far?" "I can fly there straight from here." "Great, how much will it cost?" "Oh." "Well, I haven't really thought about a price." "Aha!" "How about this much then?" "I hope it'll be enough." "What do you think?" "This much for me?" "That's great!" "Thank you!" "Huh?" "Yeah!" "I gotta see this! She's the most amazing girl!" "She sure is!" "Hey, what can you tell me about her?" "It's beautiful flying weather, and... gee, but we're flying awfully high." "You're getting very good at your flying." "Yes." "You're just able to fly higher and higher and higher, aren't you?" "Kiki, how high do you intend to go?" "This is my first job, and I do not want to be stopped by that traffic cop." "Hmm..." "Well, don't look now, but that's an airplane flying under us." "This is as high as we'll go, 'fraidy cat." "I just want to check the map." "Now, let's see." "Yep!" "It's just past the cape." "Here we go!" "Whee-e-e-e..." "Whoa, boy!" "I'm getting to like this town more and more." "I'm getting sick to my stomach." "I can't wait to write Mom and Dad about my new business." "Wow!" "Look who's behind us." "Wild geese!" "And they're coming with us!" "Aah..." "Ha." "Hi-i-i-i!" "They seem awfully upset." "They say they're going to fly higher." "Huh?" "They say a gust of wind's coming." "Oh! Hold on, Kiki!" "Uh-oh-h-h-h..." "Kiki!" "The cage! Whoa..." "Whoa!" "Whoa-a-a-a-a-a... Ahh!" "A nest!" "Oh, I'm sorry!" "Ow!" "Oh!" "Leave me alone!" "I wasn't trying to steal your eggs!" "Really!" "Uh..." "Uh..." "Go away!" "Go away!" "Ugh!" "What was the matter with them?" "Oh, my goodness!" "That was your fault." "The geese were kind enough to warn us of that wind." "But would you listen?" "Oh, be quiet!" "Look at them!" "Up so high." "That gust of wind took them all the way up." "Kiki, we've got a problem!" "The toy fell out!" "We've gotta go back!" "Ahh..." "Back to where?" "Where we fell!" "Come on, Jiji!" "Oh!" "What are they saying now, Jiji?" "They're calling you an egg stealer." "And you don't wanna know what else." "If I were you, I wouldn't go back down there... again." "We have to!" "Hold on!" "Oh, no!" "Kiki, brace yourself! Kiki, look!" "Look!" "Hey!" "Stop that!" "Go away!" "Oh..." "Leave us alone!" "Stop it!" "Maybe we better rethink our plan." "Frankly, I think this is a major insult." "Crows used to serve witches and do what you told them." "Hey, that was a long time ago, okay?" "How about if we go in after dark?" "Go in." "Get it." "Get out." "We won't be able to make it in time." "Unless we buy ourselves some time." "You gotta be kidding!" "You can just pretend to be the doll until I find the real one." "Why don't you pretend to be stuffed, and I'll go get the stupid doll?" "Uh-oh!" "Don't worry." "Hold still." "Can I breathe?" "No!" "No breathing." "Act stuffed." "Oh, dear." "Be quiet!" "It must be my present from Auntie!" "Yea!" "Give it to me!" "Ha!" "Oh!" "This is dumb! You're a bit late!" "After my sister telephoned, we were wondering where you were." "Uh, I'm sorry." "Uh..." "Ah..." "Um." "Could I please have your signature, ma'am?" "Mom, can I put the canary in here?" "Uh-huh." "But you be sure not to let it fly away, Ket." "'Kay." "Ahh..." "Um..." "I've gotta run!" "Bye!" "Oh..." "Thank you!" "Enjoy your present!" "Well!" "Woo..." "Come on, you stupid bird!" "I got a brand-new home for you." "Please hurry, Kiki." "I know you fell close by, so you've got to be here somewhere." "There you are!" "Hello!" "Anyone home?" "Is anybody here?" "Anybody?" "Hello!" "Anybody here?" "Yes!" "Stop shouting!" "I'm on the roof!" "What do you want?" "Why don't you come up?" "Good, birdie." "Hold it right there." "What do you want?" "Oh, well, you have a black cat... in your cabin window, and, you see, it's mine and I need it back." "You're a good birdie, aren't you?" "I'm sorry, but, uh, I'm kind of in a hurry." "So, why was it alone in the forest, huh?" "That's where I dropped it." "Um, may I have it back, please?" "I really need to finish this." "That's my girl!" "You're just about through, okay? Well, why didn't you tell me sooner why you needed it in such a hurry?" "He keeps me company." "I've gotten sort of fond ofhim, you know?" "Thank you." "Oh..." "Oh, no!" "His head's falling off." "Ooh, it must have been the crows." "They were making such a big fuss over him." "This is terrible." "I can't deliver it like this." "Hm." "Hey!" "I know." "How about we work out a deal?" "Huh?" "So, you're on your own at 13." "That's pretty exciting." "To be completely independent and a witch!" "Impressive!" "How's it going?" "Trust me." "He'll be good as new." "Huh..." "Almost done." "Ket, dear, turn off the TV!" "Your birthday guests are gonna be here soon!" "Ket, did you hear me?" "Ket, turn off the TV!" "Okay!" "Okay!" "That's right." "You just keep sleeping." "Nice doggy." "Good dog." "Stay." "Stay!" "All right." "Don't stay. Uhh-h-h..." "Yuck!" "Uhh..." "I'm done!" "Thank you very much!" "Better go getJiji before it's too late." "But I haven't finished yet." "Don't worry." "You've done enough." "Now, go on and get him!" "Thanks!" "Hmm." "Jeff likes my present more than me!" "Jeff's such a funny dog." "He simply adores that stuffed cat." "He won't leave it alone!" "I'll bet he thinks it's a puppy!" "He'll be upset when Ket wants to take it and play with it." "Sure will!" "He sure will!" "That's okay." "He can have it." "Just don't forget to send your aunt a thank-you note." "Okay." "Ket..." "Okay!" "Well, I'm glad to seeJeff excited about something." "He's getting to be such an old dog." "Yeah." "All he does is sleep all day." "All day!" "Ket, dear, go open the door." "Jeff wants to go out." "Jeff, shut the door when you're done." "Okay?" "Thanks!" "There you are!" "What took you so long?" "I'm sorry!" "My friend, Jeff, helped me escape." "Kiki, if we ask him, I bet he'll take the stuffed one back inside." "He'll do it." "He's a good dog!" "Could you take this in, please?" "See." "What did I tell ya!" "Isn't he the greatest?" "Thanks, Jeff, you're a real pal!" "I owe you one!" "How are ya?" "Hungry?" "No, I'm tired!" "Yeah, me too." "I'm very tired." "We're both gonna sleep well tonight!" "By the way, that painter who found the stuffed cat... told me she wants to do a drawing with me in it." "Naked?" "Jiji!" "Mommy!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Over here!" "Thank you." "I'll be right back with your order." "No garlic, sir." "Boring." "Hey!" "Message for sleepyhead!" "Wake up!" "You're supposed to be minding the store!" "I am, but today this place is boring." "But it always gets busy about this time." "I know that." "That's not what I mean." "I mean, my customers." "Jiji, if nobody comes in, I'm gonna have to eat pancakes forever... and be fat, fat, fat!" "And what am I supposed to do about that?" "Well, I like pancakes, provided they're not burned." "Look, fur ball, when you get as fat and round as a pancake, you see if I care." "Hi!" "Oh." "Beautiful, isn't she?" "They tell me she's a clothes designer." "Her designs may be fabulous, but her cat's still a snob." "Oh..." "Hello!" "Good Cooking Pan Bakery." "What?" "Pardon?" "Uh, yes, ma'am." "'Bout time we got a customer, huh?" "Uh, yes, ma'am, 4:30 will be a perfect time to pick it up." "If you'll just..." "Oh-h-h..." "Gee." "Uh-huh." "And the address?" "Yes." "The blue roof." "Right." "Yeah." "I'm pretty sure I have it all." "And thank you very much, ma'am." "Hi!" "Hmph!" "I'll take this, please." "Okay?" "Thank you very much." "Good afternoon." "Aw, come on." "You're not still mad at me, are you?" "Listen." "We're gonna have a huge party at the club tonight." "It's called the Aviation Club." "And we'd really like for you to come." "Here's your invitation." "It's a serious club for kids who are into flying and aircraft and stuff." "And you know everybody would be really excited if you came." "Yes." "May I help you, sir?" "They tell me you have a delivery service." "Oh..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Yes, of course, we can handle it." "It's very urgent this package arrive as soon as possible." "That's no problem." "Oh..." "Oh..." "Oh..." "Uh, are you all right?" "I do this every day." "Can I help you? Uh." "Oh-h-h..." "Uhh..." "Well, I hope you make up your mind by 6:00, 'cause that's when I'll be by to pick ya up." "See ya!" "Uh-ah..." "Uh." "How much will that be?" "Will that be inside or outside city limits, sir?" "I wrote the address on the box!" "Oh..." "Oh, the box!" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Osono!" "Osono!" "I've got a big problem!" "I got an invitation to go to a party at Tombo's flying club!" "I'm sure it'll be a great party, Kiki." "No!" "But my problem is, what am I going to wear?" "Kiki, you haven't got a problem." "You look fine in that." "Besides, it makes you look beautiful and mysterious." "Really?" "How's work?" "I almost forgot about that!" "It's already 4:00!" "Oh, no!" "Can you watch the store until I get back, Osono?" "Jiji?" "Jiji? You were so mad at that boy." "I don't understand why you're going to his party." "Please don't talk." "I'm tryin' to fly this broom, okay? Whoa! Thank you very much." "Bye." "Come on, Jiji!" "Aren't we just going a tad too fast?" "We can't keep our next appointment waiting." "There's the blue roof." "Here we are." "My name's Kiki, and someone telephoned for a delivery service, so here I am." "Right this way, dear." "You are right on time." "Thank you." "Oh, madam, the delivery girl is here." "My, delivery time already?" "Come in, dear." "Please make yourself right at home." "Please do." "Thanks." "May I take that for you?" "Thank you." "Oh?" "A black cat." "Broom and a black cat." "Well, it's just as my great-grandmother told me." "My name's Kiki, and I'm a witch." "Mm-hmm." "Oh, my, what a pretty witch you are." "I'm so sorry, but that special treat you were supposed to deliver... isn't ready yet." "I think there's something wrong with it." "It's got a mind of its own, and it doesn't want to heat up." "It's old." "Like me, it's seen better days." "I was hoping you'd be able to deliver a dish to my granddaughter's birthday party." "It's my speciality..." "herring and pumpkin potpie." "But I must admit defeat." "I'll have to phone her and tell her I'm sorry." "I feel just awful having you come here for nothing." "Barsa!" "Barsa!" "Hmm?" "Would you get Kiki's money, please?" "Certainly, madam." "All of it." "Pay her what we agreed on." "Oh, no, I couldn't." "Please accept it." "This was all my fault." "Yes, but..." "Ma'am, since I don't have any other jobs, maybe I can help." "How about we use that old oven over there?" "Well, maybe?" "It used to bake beautiful bread, but I haven't baked in it lately." "Well, if it burns firewood, I can help you." "I used to help my mom bake all the time." "But it's such a big job to build a fire." "A great idea, ma'am." "I never liked that electric thing." "I think her plan is perfect." "Ma'am, it'll work, really." "You think so?" "All right then." "Let's try it." "Kiki!" "Kiki!" "Kiki!" "This is crazy!" "Don't blame me if you're late for your party." "I can't take her money and not help out." "Come on, Kiki!" "Okay, Jiji, let's go." "Madam, here." "Look what I found." "You're a very clever girl, my dear." "Your mother must be proud." "Ah." "Oh, well, this is exciting." "Mm-hmm." "Yes, this is much better." "It should be about time." "Yes, the fire's almost ready." "Ah!" "Thanks." "Now we wait." "You think 40 minutes should be about right?" "Exactly right." "So why don't we take a little break?" "Maybe I can help around the house while the pie is baking." "Oh, how nice of you to offer." "What a wonderful witch." "There we go." "You're never gonna make the party on time." "Stop worrying." "It'll only take me 15 minutes if I fly there fast." "Would you like some hot tea?" "It's no trouble." "Dear." "What did you say to me was the time of your party?" "It's at 6:00, but it's only 15 minutes away." "Oh, my goodness." "I'm afraid my clock runs about ten minutes slow." "I'm gonna be late!" "Check the potpie and see if it's ready." "Help!" "Barsa, come!" "Quickly." "We have to hurry." "Kiki's running very late." "Is the pie baked?" "Is it ready?" "It seems fine." "Now, you'd better hurry." "Uh-huh." "I got the broom." "We're ready!" "Come on!" "Okay!" "Let me pay you for your time." "But that's much too much." "Not for all of your help." "Hurry up." "Hurry up!" "Bye!" "Have a good time now." "Here you go." "Fly carefully." "Bye-bye! Kiki, I don't think we should be flying into those clouds." "We can beat the rain if we just fly a little faster." "Not according to my whiskers." "Come on, Jiji!" "Think positive." "What was that again about beating the rain? Could we get out of the rain, please?" "I'm begging you!" "We can't!" "That'll make us even later, and the food will get cold if we stop. #### Yes?" "What do you want?" "I have a delivery." "But it is soaking wet." "Oh, well, I'm sorry." "It began to rain on the way." "But don't worry." "The food came through all right." "Oh, no, I told Grandma I didn't want that." "Hey, what'd you get?" "Oh, Grandma sent me another one of her crummy herring pies again." "Mmm!" "Yummy!" "Herring pie!" "Um, will you please sign this receipt for me?" "I hate Grandma's stupid pies." "I cannot believe they're related." "Maybe we still have time." "Kiki, there he is!" "Come on!" "We can catch him!" "Kiki?" "We were all so worried about you." "And that poor boy waited such a long time." "It doesn't matter anyway." "I can't go in these wet clothes." "Kiki, what's wrong?" "Are you not feeling well? Maybe we should eat something, okay?" "You eat." "Wake up, Kiki! Hmm? Not feeling very well, huh?" "Uh-uh." "You have quite a fever." "Uh-huh." "My head's hurting so much." "Well, you flew in that weather and you never really dried off." "Do you think I'm going to die, Osono?" "Huh?" "No, you're not." "I'll bring some medicine right up... and maybe you should have some potpie." "Not that." "Well, then, I'll just make something else for you." "How about some nice hot oatmeal with honey in it?" "You want some too? This oatmeal will pick ya right up." "There ya go." "Here." "Oof!" "Now, don't burn your tongue." "Ow!" "You should come and eat your meal while it's still warm." "Here it is." "Do I have to eat it?" "Only if you want to get well." "Oh!" "You know that boy stopped by to see you again today." "Huh?" "That's right." "When I told him you were sick... he asked me how a witch could catch cold in the first place." "Oh, and he said he wanted to visit you a little later." "Oh, my gosh!" "No!" "Well, I thought you might feel that way, so I turned him down politely." "You must be tired." "You try to get some sleep." "Now, I'll just open up the window so you'll have some fresh air." "Osono!" "Hmm?" "Um, never mind." "All right." "Oh!" "Breakfast!" "Jiji!" "What?" "Hmm?" "Hmm? Hmm?" "Wow!" "Good morning." "Perhaps we got off on the wrong paw." "Allow me to introduce myself." "The name's Jiji." "Where are you?" "Kiki?" "Are you feeling better?" "A lot better." "Thank you." "I'm sorry I didn't realize I'd overslept." "That's okay." "Come down later." "I have a favor to ask you." "All right?" "Okay." "The name is"Koppori"?" "Uh-huh." "Now, take this money." "Oh, no, ma'am." "No money." "It's on me." "Impossible." "Work is work, and make sure you deliver it in person." "The country's nice, but I'm more of a city cat." "Jiji!" "What is it?" "We've got a delivery." "Hey, who's your friend there?" "Lily's her name." "Be right there." "Stay there." "I'll be right back." "He's all yours." "Bye-bye." "Mmm!" "Oh!" "Ah! It's so pretty... and warm." "Mmm!" "Ooh." "Wow." "Hey." "Hey there, Miss Witch!" "Huh?" "Takin' a walk?" "Uh..." "Uh-uh." "I'm looking for someone named, uh, Koppori." "Hey, that's my name." "That's me." "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." "Um, about the other night?" "I'm sorry I didn't show up." "Huh?" "Mmm." "I'm sorry you had to end up so sick like that." "Hey, come over to my place." "There's somethin' I wanna show ya." "Oh, you gotta see it." "The party was to celebrate the completion of this thing." "What do ya 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 plannin' on flyin' 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." "'Kay." "Ready?" "Um, mm-hmm." "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!" "Ooh!" "Should I get off?" "No!" "Huh?" "Ooh! Hey, look at that!" "Whoa!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "Hi!" "Hi!" "Hi!" "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 doin' fine." "Now put your weight into it again." "That's it!" "We're quite a team!" "All right!" "We're doin' great!" "Wow!" "That's the dirigible, right?" "Right! Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "That was close." "We're flying!" "Oh, my gosh!" "Hold on!" "Oh, boy! Hey!" "Watch it!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Aah!" "Whoa!" "What happened, Tombo?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Are you?" "I'm okay." "What are you laughin'at?" "Hmm?" "Your face! Oh, oh!" "Hmm?" "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."" "Ha!" "Look!" "It's Tombo!" "Hey, stop." "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?" "So hold on tight because we've got blimp fever... and that means you could win big." "We're all gonna get to go for a ride in the blimp." "Hi!" "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 goin' 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 ya 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?" "Huh?" "Forget her, Tombo!" "Come on!" "Hey, be nice." "Yeah, I think we hurt her feelings." "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 ya goin'?" "Oh." "Some friend you are." "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!" "Meow!" "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!" "Oh! Oh." "I'm losing my witch's powers." "Aah!" "Whoa!" "Ooh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Huh?" "Oh!" "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!" "Hello." "Bakery." "Hi, Kiki?" "It's me, Tombo." "Did you see me today?" "I was wavin' at ya 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 ya say?" "I can barely hear ya." "You know what the captain said?" "He'd like to meet ya..." "What?" "Kiki?" "She hung up." "One of each." "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! Hey!" "It's mine!" "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?" "Comin' through." "So how's the delivery biz?" "You makin' any money?" "That bad, huh?" "I'm not working much now." "Mm-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!" "Pretty day." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "The bus is leaving!" "Kiki?" "Oh, thank you." "Oh." "Ooh!" "Ahh!" "Oh!" "Okay, now I'm officially exhausted." "It's beautiful here." "Mmm!" "Kiki?" "Huh?" "Coming." "Get outta the road!" "What's the matter with you?" "What's the matter with you?" "Must have been blinded by two beautiful girls in front of him." "Hey! Ursula?" "Is that you?" "Yea!" "Hop in!" "I know this guy." "Come on." "You know, when I first saw you, I didn't recognize you." "I thought you were a boy." "Huh?" "You..." "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?" "Bye, ladies!" "Take care now!" "You get along with the crows." "Yep, we've become real close friends." "Wow!" "Hello, everybody." "I'm home again." "Good afternoon." "Um, I wanna say I'm sorry." "I'm not an egg stealer, and I didn't mean to cause you any problems." "Why don't you go inside, and I'll go get some water?" "Okay." "Oh." "Like it?" "Yes." "I have to say I became inspired after the first time we met." "But..." "I really haven't got the face right." "I've been waiting for you to come back so I can try again." "You mean that's me?" "Sure is." "You know, you'd make my life a lot easier if you'd model for me." "But I'm not very beautiful." "What do you want me to do that for? Come on, Kiki." "You have got a great face." "You're very pretty." "Now, don't you be nervous." "Sit down over here." "Raise your chin up a little." "Look straight ahead." "Now, don't move." "Painting and magical powers seem very much the same." "Sometimes I'm unable to paint a thing." "You mean it?" "Then what?" "What happens?" "Kiki, please don't move." "It's hard to draw a moving target." "Without even thinking about it, I used to be able to fly." "Now I'm trying to look inside myself to find out how I did it." "But I just can't figure it out." "You know, could be you're working at it too hard." "Maybe you shouldjust take a break." "Yeah, but still, if I can't fly..." "Then stop trying." "Take long walks." "Look at the scenery." "Doze off at noon." "Don't even think about flying." "And then, pretty soon, you'll be flying again." "You think my problems will..." "Go away?" "That's right." "It's gonna be fine." "I promise." "When I was your age, I'd already decided to become an artist." "I loved to paint so much." "I'd paint all day until I fell asleep right at my easel." "And then one day, for some reason, I just couldn't paint anymore." "I tried and tried, but nothing I did seemed any good." "They were copies of paintings I'd seen somewhere before... and not very good copies either." "I just felt like I'd lost my ability." "That sounds like me." "It's exactly the same, but then I found the answer." "You see, I hadn't figured out what or why I wanted to paint." "I had to discover my own style." "Mm-hmm." "When you fly, you rely on what's inside of you, don't you?" "Uh-huh." "We fly with our spirit." "Trusting your spirit!" "Yes, yes!" "That's exactly what I'm talkin' about." "That same spirit is what makes me paint and makes your friend bake." "But we each need to find our own inspiration, Kiki." "Sometimes it's not easy." "I guess I never gave much thought to why I wanted to do this." "I got so caught up in all the training and stuff." "Maybe I have to find my own inspiration." "But am I ever gonna find it?" "And is it worth all the trouble?" "Well, for example, there were quite a few times... when I thought of painting something over that painting." "But it ended up being so great." "So I guess it's worth it." "Today when I saw you I thought, I wanna paint!" "You've got such a great face." "That's why I came?" "Hey, well, it's better than you cleaning my floor again." "Let's turn out the lights and go to sleep." "Okay." "Sorry about taking your bed from you." "Aw, no problem." "So you really think I'll fly again?" "Sure." "You'll just have to wait for the right inspiration to come along." "You understand?" "Uh-huh." "Mmm!" "And there it is, folks, the Spirit of Freedom..." "And there it is, folks, the Spirit of Freedom... recently downed in a spectacular forced landing..." "Due to torrential rains just outside the city limits." "Well, it's been repaired." "It is now in final preparation..." "Yes?" "Good Cooking Pan Bakery." "Kiki!" "How are you?" "I'm okay." "Thanks." "Well, you take plenty of time coming home." "Oh, and by the way... that older woman you made a delivery for?" "Uh-huh?" "She has another delivery for you." "I said I wasn't sure you could do it." "She was really very insistent." "What do you think, Kiki?" "Okay." "Great!" "Stop there on your way back." "Bye." "Thank you so much for everything." "Bye! Afternoon, ma'am." "Well, well, we've been expecting you." "Thanks." "There are less than five minutes to takeoff now." "Um, it's very nice to see you again, ma'am." "I'm glad you came." "Please excuse me for not standing." "My legs are bothering me more than usual." "Barsa, bring the package now." "Gosh, I hope it hasn't taken off." "Not yet." "Barsa is absolutely mad about lighter-than-air travel." "I'm the adventuresome type." "Mm-hmm." "The local fire department and the Coast Guard stand ready." "Could you turn it down, please?" "Certainly." "Would you do me a favor and open the box?" "Yep." "I don't get it." "Would you please bring this to a young delivery girl?" "She was kind to me and a very big help." "It's my way of saying thank you." "Ah, yes, and can you find out when her next birthday is?" "Then I can bake her another one." "Will you handle this very special delivery, Kiki? Don't cry." "Of course I will!" "And maybe the young girl will want to know the lady's birthday... because she'll be able to give her a present to repay her!" "You've got a deal." "Oh!" "Oh, my! What happened?" "Oh, there's been a terrible accident." "Oh, my! Oh, darn this old thing!" "And just when it was getting good!" "Midsummer is always when these winds come." "They'll be hitting us any minute." "Oh!" "Goodness!" "It's a strong one!" "It'll pass quickly." "Don't worry." "Oh, goody!" "It's back on." "Look!" "Oh, look at that." "It's completely upside down." "Freak winds blowing in from the sea!" "It has broken loose from its mooring ropes." "My, my." "How terrible." "A desperate last-ditch effort is being made to tie the dirigible to the ground... and keep it from drifting into the air." "But it's extremely doubtful whether or not this can actually be done." "Oh!" "Oh, no, no!" "It's useless!" "The tremendous lifting power of the helium balloon is lifting the police patrol car..." "That's Tombo!" "That's my friend hanging on that rope." "Huh?" "It's being lifted as though it were a toy!" "Oh, no, there's a young boy hanging onto the cable!" "He's being lifted away together with the police car!" "L-I don't believe what I'm seeing." "The dirigible is being blown towards town!" "I'm told our remote crew has escaped injury..." "Are you sure it's your friend, my dear?" "I have to go!" "Oh, dear!" "Be careful!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Come on!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Look!" "There he is!" "Look!" "It's a man up there!" "Hold on there, son!" "Just hold your grip steady!" "Release the helium from the tail!" "Quick! Oh!" "Comin' down!" "Hmph!" "Gotta see this! What's going on?" "All citizens are kindly..." "Sorry!" "Requested to remain calm!" "He's up there!" "Do not panic!" "Tombo!" "Sir, is there any word about the boy?" "All I know is that the radio said that the police car dropped into a pool." "The helium inside the dirigible will not explode!" "He's still up there!" "It's awfully close to those buildings." "Where did it take off from?" "It was around the corner, and then..." "It's frightening." "Move!" "Stay out of the street!" "Get on the sidewalks!" "You there!" "Young lady!" "Don't block the street!" "Clear the area!" "Do not block the street!" "Are you all right, young lady?" "Huh?" "What happened?" "Snapped it right off." "Please, sir, may I use your broom for a minute?" "What?" "Please!" "I promise I'll bring it right back!" "Huh?" "I'm not gonna give you my broom..." "Thank you very much!" "Hey!" "Fly." "Watch out!" "Whoa! Did you see that?" "Unbelievable!" "Flew up in the air!" "Come on, broom." "Fly for me." "Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that the blimp is heading directly for the clock tower!" "And, look, the young boy is safe, but he's clutching that rope for dear life!" "If the wind doesn't shift, the Spirit of Freedom will smash into the tower!" "We gotta get up higher or else we'll hit the tower, Captain!" "There's not enough helium." "Jump onto the tower before we hit!" "Aye, aye, Captain!" "Hey there!" "Over here!" "Come on!" "Get outta the way!" "The blimp's gonna crash!" "Grab a hold of this!" "Huh? Go!" "Hurry up! Hey! We are listening to the sound of a helium gas leak!" "The condition of the boy is unknown, but from where I'm standing..." "Oh, no!" "Oh!" "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "It's falling!" "Too much gas has escaped." "It's coming down! It's snagged on the building across the street where it's..." "Hey, look!" "Over there!" "It's a miracle!" "The young boy has somehow managed to keep his hold on the rope!" "But how can anyone rescue him now?" "That brave young boy is hanging on for dear life!" "He can't..." "Something just flew by!" "It's a bird?" "No, it's not a bird." "It's a young girl." "No!" "It's a young witch soaring through the sky, and she's riding..." "Go, Kiki!" "Oh, my!" "She can fly again!" "Get 'im, Kiki!" "Tombo!" "Kiki!" "Oh!" "Tombo!" "Come on now!" "Be a good broom!" "Hold on, Tombo!" "Hang in there, my good lad!" "Oh, no!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Kiki!" "Tombo! Whoa!" "Whoa!" "And she's trying to reach the boy!" "You can do it!" "Yes!" "Don't give up now, sonny!" "Come on!" "Don't give up!" "Don't give up!" "Don't give up!" "Don't give up!" "Don't give up!" "She got him!" "She saved the youngster!" "I've never seen anything so amazing! Congratulations, young lady!" "Oh!" "Let me see!" "Let me see!" "Yea!" "Now she's bringing him down to land, safe and sound." "She actually caught the boy in midair!" "And you saw it all live as she saved his life." "Well done, young lady!" "That broom she used was mine." "That was my broom, you know!" "Oh, Barsa!" "Oh, my!" "Yippee!" "What a girl!" "Kiki was so brave." "She really saved the day." "Mmm!" "Uh-oh!" "Uh, better call the hospital, honey!" "Oh?" "Oh?" "I think it's time now!" "Oh!" "Oh, my!" "Ooh!" "Ow, ow, ow, ow!" "Kiki, can you hear me?" "And I thought I was a goner for sure." "But my friend Kiki saved me!" "Jiji!" "She's the greatest friend a person could have." "That's all." "Meow!" "Hey, let me tell you about when she first came to town."

""Dear Mother and Father, How are you doing?" "I'm happy to say that Jiji and I are doing fine at the moment."" "My delivery service is a big success." "I've really started to gain some confidence and everything is falling into place." "There are still some times when I feel a little homesick... but all in all, I sure love this city." "I miss you." "Lots of love, Kiki."
