" It came from over here!" " Colonel, what's happening?" " We've found another pirate." "And there's one more hiding under your feet." "SOLDIER:" "Yes, sir!" "We'll get him." "[ Struggling ]" "Sheeta, I'll find you!" "SHEETA:" "Pazu!" "Huh?" "Give me a hand grenade!" "Is that Pazu?" "Uhh!" " Holy smokes!" " Eww." "That wasn't me!" "Hmm." "That's hot." " Mom, what's going on?" " Hmm." " I need the commanding officer!" " That way!" "The general's waiting over there." "Guards, on the double!" "Now!" "SOLDIER:" "You men, come with me!" " Right away, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Dola." " Huh?" "Hmm?" "Hi there." "Sheeta's been captured." "I'm going to save her." "When I cut your ropes." "make a run for it." "[ Grunting ]" "DOLA:" "Ohh, thanks." "That's got it." "Good luck, now, captain." "Wait a minute, boy." "You'd better take this." "Huh?" "Uhh-- thank you." "The boy has become a man." "What?" "What do you mean, Muska's destroyed all the radios?" "Sir!" "He must've done it while most of the men were outside." "Several of the guards have been seriously injured." "We've spotted Muska heading for the black dome below, sir." "He's not alone." "He's got those other two men with him." "So, Colonel Muska reveals his true nature at last." "Now find him and arrest him!" "All right, first platoon, move!" "Second platoon, fall in!" "You are to shoot anyone who resists!" "We must find Colonel Muska now!" "Uh, excuse me, Colonel Muska." "Where are we?" "We are in the center of Laputa." "The castle above us means nothing!" "All of Laputa's scientific knowledge... is contained in this chamber." "Ladies first." "You may wait here, gentlemen." " Colonel!" " Colonel, please!" "This is a sacred place... where only royalty is allowed to enter." "Huh?" "What's happened here?" "Uhh!" "These filthy roots don't belong in this chamber!" "Horrible things." "I'll have them burned." "This way." "Come!" "[ Grunting ]" "There it is!" "This is it." "See?" "[ Hums ]" "[ Gasps ]" "MUSKA:" "Not here, too!" "Aah!" "Roots?" "[ Splashing ]" "Nothing but tree stumps and vines!" "Stupid, ugly, dirty, disgusting things!" "[ Grunting ]" "At last!" "At last I have found it!" "The largest aetherium crystal ever." "And the source of all the power in Laputa." "The amazing thing is this beautiful stone... has been awaiting the return of its king for 700 years." "SHEETA:" "Seven hundred years?" "700 years is a long time to be without a king, isn't it?" "It's the black stone, just as the legend says." "[ Insects buzzing ]" "Get away!" "[ Grunts ]" "There it is." "It's the same." "Who are you, Muska?" "Yes, my dear." "I, too, have an old secret name." "My real name is Romska Polo Ul Laputa." "[ Gasps ]" "You and I have the same royal ancestors." "We are both of noble blood." "But then our ancestors left Laputa to live on earth." "What a mistake!" "[ Boom ]" " The explosives have no effect!" " This is no ordinary stone!" "Then use all of the dynamite we have!" "MUSKA:" "General." "there is no need to do that." "You may come in." "Where are you, Muska?" "[ Pinging ]" " Aah!" " Aah!" "[ Rumbling ] Huh?" "[ Yelling ]" "Unh!" "[ Yelling ]" "[ Snap ]" "Aaaah!" "Unh!" "[ Grunting ]" "Huh?" "Aah!" "[ Sniffs ]" "MUSKA:" "Really, I don't understand... why you hesitate, general." "Please come in." "Blast him!" "All right, follow me!" "[ All yell ]" "[ Grunting ]" "[ Rumbling ]" "Huh?" "After him, men!" "Wait, wait, hold on!" "Wait a second." "Just where are you, Muska?" "MUSKA:" "Please be quiet." " What?" " Up there!" " Whoa." " What's going on?" "Hold your tongue, commoner!" "You are in the presence of the king of Laputa!" "The man has gone crazy!" "I thought I would show you an example of Laputa's power." "We are about to celebrate the rebirth... of the Laputian kingdom." "Sheeta?" "MUSKA:" "Prepare yourself for the thunder of Laputa!" "Sheeta, I'm coming." "Aah!" "[ Yelling ]" "[ Boom ]" "[ Straining ]" "The fire of heaven that destroyed..." "Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament." "The Rahmaniya referred to it as Indra's Arrow." "The entire world will once again kneel... before the power of Laputa." "I can only say well-done, Muska." "You're a credit to our country." "As such, you deserve this reward." "[ Clicking ] Huh?" "I have really had enough of your incredible stupidity." "[ Gasps ] Aah!" " Run, everyone!" " You little brat!" "Good-bye!" "Enjoy the ride!" "[ All screaming ]" "[ Laughing ]" "Blimey!" "More robots!" "Yeah, and there's a lot of them." "Make a run for it!" " Check the flapters!" " OK, mom!" "They're ready to travel!" "LOUIE:" "Time to go, mama!" "Hush up!" "They don't know we're here!" "Tanation." "Now, where are Pazu and Sheeta?" "Can't leave without 'em." "Oh!" "You had better be gracious to the new king, dear." "Ohh!" "You and I will be spending quite a lot of time together." "Look at the fools." "Unbelievably stupid!" "Pathetic." "They simply don't understand." "It is useless to fight me." "Aah!" "Uhh!" "Aah!"

"Stop it!" "MUSKA:" "Ha ha ha ha ha!" " Give me the crystal!" " You insolent little brat!" "Uhh!" "Seize her!" "Ahh." "[ Grunting ]" "[ Pounding ]" "Be a good girl and give the crystal back." "Please open up!" "Please!" "Uhh!" "MUSKA:" "Sheeta!" "Sheeta, listen to me." "Be reasonable." "There's no way you can escape." "SHEETA:" "Please open!" "Help me!" "MUSKA:" "They can't hear you."

" You're alive!" " Stand back." "I'm gonna blast through." " Here we go!" " No, Pazu!" "Hurry!" "Take this!" "Muska's coming!" "Hurry!" "Sheeta!" "SHEETA:" "Here, take it!" "Throw it into the ocean!" "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Better protect that crystal if you want to see the girl alive." "Do you hear me?" "!" "[ Grunts ]" "[ Click click click ]" "[ Grunting ]" "Sheeta!" "[ Gunshot ]" "[ Sheeta shouts ]" "[ Gunshot ] Aah!" "Get up, princess." "The game is over." "How appropriate that we've ended up in the throne room." "Now get over here." "This is no longer a throne room." "This is a tomb for the both of us." "You see, a king without compassion... does not deserve a kingdom." "You will never possess the crystal." "You and I will die here together." "Now I understand why the people of Laputa vanished." "There is a song from my home in the Valley of Gondoa... that explains everything." "It says, "Take root in the ground..." ""live in harmony with the wind..." ""plant your seeds in the winter..." ""and rejoice with the birds in the coming of spring."" "No matter how many weapons you have... no matter how great your technology might be... the world cannot live without love." "Laputa will live." "I will return it to life." "Laputa's power is the dream of all mankind." "Your ears are next... unless you get on your knees and obey me." "I command you." "Give me that stone!" "PAZU:" "Stop right there, Muska!" "I've hidden the stone!" "If you do anything to harm Sheeta... you'll never get it back!" "No, Pazu!" "Listen!" "Run away before he kills you as well as me!" "Look who's here." "Give me the stone, and the girl will live." "Otherwise, I'll kill her." "Are you planning on fighting me?" "Go ahead." "Use that cannon you can hardly lift." "You can have the stone if you let me talk to Sheeta." "No, Pazu!" "Get out of here and throw the crystal away!" "I'll give you one minute, starting now." "Ohh, Pazu!" "Sheeta, listen to me very carefully." "Whisper the spell to me." "I'll say it with you." "Just put your hand in mine and trust me." "Tell me the spell of destruction." "Dola and the boys are free." "Don't worry about them." "Whisper the spell in my ear." "Time's up." "What is your answer?" "PAZU:" "You ready?" "Huh?" " Balus." " Balus." " Aah!" " Aah!" "Aaah!" "[ Rumbling ]" "Aah!" "My eyes!"
