"Who?" "Who are you?" "Angel's Egg" "Director" "Mamoru Oshii" "Character Designer" "Yoshitaka Amano" "Screenwriter" "Mamoru Oshii" "Keep precious things inside you or you will lose them." "What do you think is inside that egg?" "I can't tell you things like that." "Besides, I don't even know who you are." "You have to break an egg if you are to know what is inside." "Who are you?" "Don't follow me!" "The fish have come out." "Fish?" "Even though the fish are not anywhere still they chase after them." "Please my egg don't do anything to it." "This way." "I've seen a tree like this somewhere." "Where was it?" "So long ago that I've forgotten." "Somewhere under a sky where the clouds made sounds as they moved." "The black horizon swelled and from it grew a huge tree." "It sucked the life from the ground and its pulsing branches reached up, as if to grasp something." "The giant bird sleeping within an egg." "What happened to the bird?" "Where is it?" "It's still there now, still dreaming." "Dreaming?" "What kind of dream does the bird dream?" "What is in the egg?" "You still cannot tell me?" "Since when have you been here?" "As many days as there are bottles?" "I too have forgotten where I'm from." "And maybe, I didn't know from the beginning where I am going." "Will you be going away?" "I will wipe from the earth man whom I have created man and beast, crawling creature and bird of the air as well for I regret that I made them." "I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights and I will wipe from the ground every living thing I have made." "And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth." "On that very day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the floodgates of the heavens were opened." "And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights." "But the ark floated on the surface of the waters." "All flesh that moved on the earth died: birds, cattle, wild animals, all creatures that creep on the earth, and all men." "Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left." "Then he sent a dove to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground." "Then he waited another seven days, and again sent forth the dove from the ark but she did not return to him any more." "Where did the bird land?" "Or maybe it weakened and was swallowed by the waters." "No one could know." "So the people waited for her return." "Waited and grew tired of waiting." "They forgot they had released the bird; forgot there was a bird." "They even forgot there was a world sunken under water." "They forgot where they were from; how long they traveled; and where they were going." "It was so long ago that the animals have turned to stone." "The bird I saw, I can't even remember where or when, it was so long ago." "Perhaps it was a dream." "Maybe you and I and the fish exist only in the memory of a person who is gone." "Maybe no one really exists and it is only raining outside." "Maybe the bird never existed at all." "It exists." "It's here." "It's here." "It's here." "I found it, it's already turned to stone, it's in here." "I'm going to hatch it and put it back." "It's the bird I found." "I know that." "I thought so." "Can you hear something?" "I can hear it." "The sound of soft breathing." "That's your breathing." "I can hear the sound of wings." "It must be dreaming of flying in the sky." "That's just the sound of the wind outside." "Very soon." "Right now you're in here dreaming, but soon I will show you." "Very soon." "So you must stay here for now." "Here it doesn't rain..." "Here it is warm." "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "Who?" "Who are you?"
