"I've closed up the shop." "Sophie." "I'll just finish this." "Go have some fun." "I'm off." "wait... it's Howl's castle." "where?" "Look how close it is." "no." "I wonder if Howl's in town..." "It took off." "just hiding from all the soldiers." "from South Haven?" "They say Howl tore her heart out." "How scary... he's not going to want yours." "Hurry up!" "Really?" "cut it out... lost your way?" "no..." "I'm fine." "Then how about a cup of tea?" "Care to join me?" "I'm busy." "She sure is a cute little mouse." "how old are you?" "You live around here?" "Let me pass!" "it's those whiskers of yours!" "She's even cuter when she's mad." "I'm sorry." "Where've you been?" "Who are you?" "I'm with her." "Why don't you two take a little walk?" "wha..." "Don't hold it against them." "They're harmless." "Where to?" "I'll be your escort." "I'm only going to Cesari's." "Act normal." "I'm being followed." "Just walk." "Sorry I got you involved." "This way." "Hold on." "Drop your legs and keep walking." "don't be frightened." "Very nice." "I'll draw them off." "Wait here until the coast is clear." "Yes." "That's my girl." "Any Letties chocolate?" "Lettie." "make room." "Lettie." "My sister?" "Lettie." "Onee-chan?" "How did you land on the veranda like that?" "Have you become an angel?" "It feels like I'm in a dream... why not use the office?" "but I should really be working." "What?" "You sure he wasn't a wizard?" "He was so kind..." "He rescued me..." "Don't tell me he's stolen your heart." "he'd have eaten it right up!" "Howl's only after beauties." "There you go again." "we live in dangerous times." "They say even the Witch of the Waste is back on the prowl." "Onee-chan?" "you... the madeleines are done." "be right there." "All right." "I'm going home." "It's a relief to know you're doing well." "Lettie." "Nice to see you." "are you going to spend your whole life in that shop?" "I'm the eldest." "That's not what I meant..." "Are you sure you want to be a hatter?" "I..." "Lettie." "Come by the shop next time." "Sure." "I'll be on my way." "you've got to look out for yourself." "the shop's closed." "I thought I'd locked the door... full of cheap little hats." "And you're quite cheap-looking yourself." "This is just a simple hat shop." "I think you had better leave." "taking on the Witch of the Waste." "The Witch of the Waste?" "You won't be able to tell anyone about that spell." "My regards to Howl." "Is this really me?" "!" "I've got to stay calm." "I've got to calm down." "Sophie." "I'll be fine." "I've got to calm down." "I'm back!" "Ma'am!" "How do you like it?" "It's all the rage in Kingsbury." "Amazing!" "It suits you." "Don't you think it's wonderful?" "Sophie!" "Sophie hasn't come down to work yet." "I wonder what's the matter?" "Sophie!" "Don't come in." "I've got an awful cold." "I don't want you to catch it." "You sound just awful..." "Like some 90 year-old woman." "I'll stay in bed today." "then." "Here we go... old lady." "and these clothes finally suit you." "But I can't stay here." "ouch." "It's not easy being old." "They're saying this war is going to be terrible... granny?" "but I'll manage." "but where are you off to?" "Just a bit farther than where you're going." "granny." "Nothing but witches and wizards ahead." "Thank you." "Going to the Folding Valley at this hour?" "She says her youngest sister's there." "I've hardly made any progress at all." "Thank goodness I've still got my teeth." "That'll make a good cane." "Up we go." "Might be a bit too thick." "ouch." "What a stubborn branch." "Never underestimate Grandma Sophie." "Heave!" "eh?" "I thought you were working for the Witch." "But how do you stand by yourself?" "Your head's a turnip." "I've always hated turnips." "At least you're not upside down anymore." "So long." "It's so cold." "The town's still so close." "Don't follow me." "You don't owe me a thing." "You must be a magical whatever-you-are." "I've had enough of witches and spells!" "Just go stand wherever you like!" "This is a perfect cane." "Thank you kindly." "could you bring me a house to sleep in?" "Seems you get more cunning with age." "What a huge battleship!" "I never realized how weak you feel when you get old." "maybe there's a cabin." "isn't that Howl's Castle?" "This is hardly what I meant when I asked for shelter!" "What is this?" "You call this a castle?" "Is that the way in?" "Just wait up there." "there!" "or not!" "My cloak!" "Turnip." "I'm going in." "Thank you." "Even Howl wouldn't want an ancient heart like mine." "it's really goodbye." "but you're a good turnip." "May you find happiness." "What is this place?" "Just looks like a dilapidated heap." "one nice thing about getting old is that nothing surprises you anymore." "That's some spell you're under." "It won't be easy to break." "The fire talked." "And you can't even tell anyone about it." "You're Howl?" "Calcifer!" "can you break the spell I'm under?" "Easy." "I'll break your spell in a flash." "bargain with a demon." "You sure you can keep that promise?" "Demons don't make promises." "I suggest you look elsewhere." "But I'm an exploited demon." "who works me to death." "I'm the one who keeps this castle moving." "you've got it rough." "the spell will break." "too." "eh?" "Granny." "Granny." "Boy..." "I've got my doubts about her." "who's this?" "Porthaven!" "When did she get in?" "Stand by." "sir." "The sun is already high." "Is Master Jenkins at home?" "The Master is out." "I answer in his stead." "An invitation from His Majesty." "It has come to war. to aid our homeland." "His presence is imperative." "That is all." "how awful." "And who might you be?" "Calcifer let me in." "Don't look at me." "She wandered in from the Wastes." "The Wastes?" "are you?" "A witch could never get in." "again." "A customer?" "Stand by." "State your purpose." "Mama sent me." "The usual spell?" "now." "It's not the Wastes." "too?" "I'm the scariest witch in the land." "Sprinkle this powder on your ship and the winds will favor it." "Sure." "Many thanks." "I can't have you making up things." "You should give up that disguise." "it's magic." "The Kingsbury door." "Stand by." "Is this the residence of Wizard Pendragon?" "indeed." "I bear an invitation from His Majesty." "Please inform Master Pendragon that he is required at the Palace." "Our thanks to you." "A city fit for a king." "Get back in or you'll lose your nose." "Stop wandering around." "That's enough!" "I'm going to get really mad." "isn't it?" "boy!" "Where does the black one lead?" "Only Master Howl knows." "I'm having my breakfast." "But you've got bacon and eggs." "We can't use the fire when Master Howl's away." "I'll cook for you." "But you can't." "Calcifer only obeys Master Howl." "I won't cook for you." "here's my hat." "now." "I'm a demon." "I answer to no one." "or I'll pour water on you!" "Or would you rather I told Howl about our bargain?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "I never should've let this old lady in." "what'll it be?" "there's a good fire." "Hey!" "Hey!" "I'll burn the bacon." "Calcifer's doing what she says." "too." "Have you got a kettle?" "Sure." "Master Howl." "You have letters from the king." "To Jenkins and to Pendragon." "you're so obedient." "She bullied me." "Not an easy thing to do." "Who exactly are you?" "I'm Grandma Sophie." "I'm your new cleaning lady." "Give me that." "Pass me two more bacon slices and six more eggs." "Yummy!" "Yummy!" "And who hired you to clean?" "I hired myself." "I've never seen such a filthy house." "Hmm... plates." "You're all ganging up on me." "Sophie." "Sit over here." "Pick one." "Everything else is dirty." "I've got my work cut out for me." "Markl?" "Yes?" "Sophie." "Thank you." "let us partake of our daily bread." "Our daily bread." "Haven't had a real breakfast in a long while." "So many manners to teach... what's that in your pocket?" "What?" "I wonder what it is..." "Let me." "this is..." "Ancient sorcery." "too." "The Witch of the Waste?" "oh heartless man." "Your heart shall be mine... so much for the table." "it's gone!" "but not the spell." "continue your meal." "move the castle 100 kilometers..." "And send hot water to the bath." "too!" "Do you work for the Witch of the Waste?" "Don't be stupid!" "The witch..." "Actually..." "the witch..." "I..." "Confound it!" "Damn that Witch of the Waste." "Wait till I get my hands on her!" "Let me finish eating this." "you'd better scurry away or I'll sweep you out." "mocking me." "There's a spell I need." "Later." "A witch rages within." "Sophie." "I'm going out." "I'll die without some fresh wood." "what are you doing?" "I'll fall." "I'm in peril." "I'm sweeping the ashes." "Won't be a minute." "no." "I'm in danger." "I'll go out." "no." "I'm slipping..." "Sophie." "Try not to torment my friend." "are you going out?" "tell our cleaning lady not to get too carried away." "Sophie?" "She abused me." "Howl goes with me." "I'm the cleaning lady." "It's my job to clean." "not the 2nd floor!" "I'd put your precious things away in a hurry." "Save my room for later." "My little outburst gave me back my strength." "What a strange house." "Amazing!" "Calcifer!" "Are you moving the castle?" "What a lot of fuss!" "Of course I am!" "Calcifer!" "Your magic's first class." "I misjudged you completely." "You think so?" "You really think so!" "not yet!" "How beautiful." "It's called Star Lake." "Something's stuck in there." "Markl." "Sure." "And up!" "A scarecrow." "the Turnip-head." "You sure like being upside down" "The odd creature seems to have taken a liking to me." "He followed me here." "Sophie?" "I'm the cleanest witch in the land." "don't pull it so tight." "Seems like he likes doing the wash." "They'll dry in no time." "Turnip must belong to the demons." "Calcifer doesn't seem to mind him." "maybe he's a demon of the dead." "But he led me to this wonderful place." "Sophie." "thank you." "We'd better be getting back." "How mysterious." "I've never felt such peace." "Stinks." "You reek of burnt flesh and steel." "Keep flying and one day you won't be able to change yourself back." "Isn't it great!" "Sophie did this for me." "The fighting is fierce." "from the southern coast to the northern border." "I hate the fire in gunpowder." "They have no manners." "My own kind attacked me." "The Witch of the Waste?" "Hack wizards masquerading as monsters. when they can't regain human form." "they'll just forget they ever knew how to cry." "Aren't you supposed to report to the king yourself?" "well..." "Hot water for my bath." "not again." "Is that Howl?" "wasting my hot water again." "I'm sure Howl won't eat any breakfast." "No matter." "Morning." "It's lovely shopping in the morning." "I've never seen the ocean." "sparkling water." "Same as it always is." "I myself hate potatoes." "Pay up." "Thank you." "Thanks." "all fresh off the boat." "That one's tasty." "I myself hate fish." "The fleet's come home." "Is that the smoke?" "There's been another battle." "later." "That ship's on fire!" "let's go get a closer look." "I've no stomach for such things." "Let's go home." "reduced to this." "there are Blob Men nearby." "Don't move." "They work for the Witch of the Waste." "They're gone." "Don't people notice those terrible monsters?" "Look!" "Up there!" "That's what dropped those bombs!" "Sophie." "flyers." "Ignore the flyers They're enemy propaganda!" "Sophie?" "please." "Sure." "What did you do to the bathroom shelves?" "Look!" "My hair's turned this weird color!" "What... what beautiful hair." "Take a good look!" "You mixed up everything on the shelves and ruined the spells." "I simply cleaned up." "always cleaning." "I told you not to get too carried away." "It's hopeless." "How humiliating." "It's not so very bad." "This new shade's quite lovely in its way." "if you aren't beautiful..." "Howl!" "Cut it out!" "He's calling on the spirits of Darkness." "He did this last time a girl ditched him." "that's enough." "You can just dye your hair again." "Howl!" "I've never once been beautiful!" "I've had enough of this place!" "Turnip." "You're a kind scarecrow." "Sophie." "Howl's in trouble!" "Howl." "I'm going out." "Sophie!" "Get over here." "he's dramatic." "Is he dead?" "Don't worry." "A tantrum never killed anyone." "Markl." "Markl." "you can still walk." "Markl." "Sure." "I'll have to clean all over again." "I'm coming in." "Here's some hot milk." "Drink up." "I'll leave it here." "Drink it while it's hot." "Sophie." "Try a little milk?" "The Witch of the Waste is searching for my house." "I saw her cronies down at the port." "I'm a coward." "All this junk is just sorcery to keep her away." "I'm scared to death." "why is the Witch of the Waste after you?" "so I approached her." "But she terrified me and I ran away." "Now the king's ordered me to report to him." "As Jenkins and as Pendragon..." "Howl?" "Enough to guarantee my freedom." "Can't you refuse the king?" "See that..." "The oath I took at the sorcery Academy." "why not visit the king?" "What!" "Just say it to his face." "Stop this foolish war." "I refuse to help you." "you don't know what they're like." "right?" "A king thinks only of what's best for his people." "I know!" "Sophie!" "Pretend you're Pendragon's mother." "Just tell him your son is an idle good-for-nothing." "Maybe Madam Suliman will even give up on me." "Madam Suliman?" "You're wearing that hat?" "After all the magic I spent making your dress pretty... off I go." "Sure." "See you later!" "This charm assures your safe return." "I'll follow you in disguise." "off you go!" "I'm sure this will never work." "disguised as a crow." "I'm sure Howl would pick a more dramatic disguise." "Not that..." "The Palace is so far away." "Howl?" "Don't tell me you're Howl." "of all things." "Do you know how exhausting it is to be old?" "right?" "The Witch of the Waste!" "Thank you so much for delivering my note to Howl." "How's Howl doing?" "Quite terrified." "I've become a cleaning lady." "My how delightful." "what brings you to see the king?" "Job hunting." "I'm sick of working for Howl." "And yourself?" "The king invited me." "finally needs my power." "Why don't you break the spell you put on me." "That's impossible." "not breaking them." "then." "wait a minute." "Just wait!" "I'd have hit her with my cane." "What's wrong with you?" "vehicles are prohibited beyond this point." "Please continue on foot." "That Suliman." "Using magic to force me to climb these stairs." "We'll catch up." "Pay her no mind." "why are you so heavy?" "You..." "Hey..." "Wait" "What is it?" "Suddenly remembered..." "how to break my spell?" "I told you..." "I don't know how." "start studying up." "I don't get it." "Where does she get all that energy?" "I have to put you down." "Why don't you call it a day?" "You can't make it." "since they drove me out of here..." "I've been longing for this day..." "Ever since." "then." "I'm not nice enough to help you out." "Howl." "You heartless wench." "too." "Hurry up!" "follow me." "you should help her." "We are forbidden to assist anyone." "But the king himself invited her." "Hang in there!" "Just a little farther." "And you call yourself a witch?" "Who asked you?" "You suddenly look older." "Madam Pendragon and the Witch of the Waste!" "Pull yourself together." "Isn't this what you've been waiting for?" "Madam Pendragon and the Witch of the Waste!" "Pendragon..." "That name sounds familiar." "Of course it does That was the name of my hat shop." "It was?" "Please wait here." "A chair!" "It's mine!" "get back here." "this way please." "I understand you're Howl's mother." "Yes." "My name is Pendragon." "I'm sure you're weary Please have a seat." "Yes." "His Majesty's witch." "that dog is... you mean Heen?" "He does my errands." "I asked him to escort you." "then?" "he sends his mother to make excuses." "I'm sure he'd be utterly useless to His Majesty." "What a shame." "He was my last apprentice..." "A student of such marvelous gifts." "I rejoiced in finally finding a worthy heir. and he abandoned me." "He turned his magic to purely selfish uses." "That boy is dangerous." "His power is too great for one with no heart." "If he follows that path he'll wind up like the Witch of the Waste." "Bring her." "What happened?" "I just restored her to her real age." "All her powers are gone." "she was a magnificent witch." "She made a bargain with a demon long ago." "Our kingdom can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to disreputable wizards and witches." "I will teach him how to break with the demon." "I'll strip him of his powers as I have taken hers." "Now just a minute." "Now I understand why Howl refused to come here." "Something's not right." "dragging them into strange rooms." "It's like a trap." "You call Howl heartless!" "cowardly and unpredictable." "he only wants to be free." "Howl won't turn into an evil monster." "He'll battle the demon on his own." "I believe in him." "Pendragon..." "You're in love with Howl." "Howl..." "Howl's coming?" "I want it." "That's enough from you." "Howl's not coming." "Howl will most certainly come." "I've found his weakness." "Your Majesty." "As you are." "How are you feeling?" "Thank you for asking." "Meetings bore me." "I flew out for a breather." "How lovely." "These are?" "This is Wizard Howl's mother." "I see." "but I don't intend to win any war with magic." "It's true that Suliman's powers shield our palace from bombs." "But they just fall on neighboring towns." "Suliman?" "Your Majesty." "Suliman!" "we'll beat them to a pulp!" "you've outdone yourself with that double." "Await good news." "Thank you kindly." "Have my generals assembled?" "Howl." "Delighted to see you doing so well." "I saw right through you." "I've kept my oath." "I've no wish to fight you." "I'll take my mother." "I won't let you go." "you'll be dragged below." "It's time I showed your mother what you really are." "don't!" "It's a trap!" "Hold tight." "sit up front." "you brought the whole gang along." "Nice doggie." "You're just Suliman's spy." "too late to toss you now." "you steer." "What!" "I can't possibly!" "They're after us." "I'll tackle them." "Fly straight to the castle in the Wastes." "What!" "That's impossible!" "the ring will guide you." "Summon Calcifer with your heart." "Summon Calcifer?" "It's glowing." "Follow the light." "You'll be there by nightfall." "if you were coming yourself?" "Your presence gave me the courage for it." "She's too terrible to face on my own." "You've saved me." "I was in grave danger back there." "Don't let go!" "You're good." "Stop joking!" "We've got a lead now." "now's your chance." "Howl!" "thank you." "Thank you." "That's the most fun I've had in ages." "I supposed Howl thinks he's escaped..." "His mother's awfully young." "We're not far." "That's my hometown." "Don't look so friendly." "I don't trust you." "The castle." "They've come to meet us." "Sophie!" "help!" "I don't know how to stop this thing!" "Sophie!" "Doggie." "Markl." "I'm home." "are you hurt?" "You're home!" "Thank you for coming to meet us." "you've gone too far." "I wonder if Howl's back." "Howl?" "Howl?" "Is it you?" "Are you hurt?" "In pain?" "Stay away!" "I want to help you." "I want to break the spell you're under." "You can't even break your own spell." "But I love you!" "Too late." "Howl!" "Howl must be back." "you'd better figure out how to break my spell quick." "We're both running out of time." "Meaning Howl will turn into a monster?" "Is it true?" "I can't tell you that." "I'm a demon." "Howl has given you something very precious." "What is it?" "Where is it?" "That's confidential information." "And if I threaten to dump water over you?" "How dare you!" "Howl will die with me." "Turnip." "We've got to be brave." "Sophie!" "Calcifer." "Here goes!" "Push!" "Heave!" "I... said... move!" "Come on!" "it's a junk heap." "It's time to eat!" "old girl." "she's the Witch of the Waste." "No need to worry." "Why's she staring at me?" "Such a pretty fire." "Howl." "everyone." "Welcome home." "can we keep this puppy?" "An old Witch and Madam Suliman's dog." "Calcifer?" "Don't look at me!" "They blew in with Sophie." "always dramatic..." "So you're Turnip." "too." "Seems everyone in our little family is complicated..." "He's so handsome." "This is a busy day." "We're moving." "Moving?" "here in the middle of nowhere." "Madam Suliman can track us down here in no time." "But you'll have to stay behind." "The magic in your spell's too risky." "That's done." "Calcifer." "Excellent." "Stay right where you are." "Be gentle..." "Here goes." "We've moved." "You can get up now." "Master." "It's so grand." "What a pretty fire." "This is..." "I added a bathroom For our growing family." "come here!" "Sophie!" "too." "Go in." "This is... why?" "I thought it would suit you." "Do you like it?" "it's perfect for a housekeeper." "too." "Open them later." "Sophie!" "Come here!" "Quick!" "A courtyard!" "too." "Heen!" "See that new color on the dial?" "There's a new exit." "Sophie." "Step outside." "It's my secret garden." "Beautiful." "Did you make it with your magic?" "to help the flowers." "Howl!" "It's like I'm dreaming." "Sophie." "How mysterious." "I feel I've been here before." "I could cry with happiness." "Come." "Look." "A sweet little house." "My favorite hideaway." "When I was little I spent my summers there alone." "Alone?" "left it to me in secret." "Sophie." "What's wrong?" "I'm scared." "once I'm inside." "tell me the truth." "I don't mind if you're a monster." "I want to make sure that you'll all live comfortably." "with all these flowers?" "Sophie." "you'd go away?" "Howl." "I'm not beautiful." "and I'm only good at cleaning... you are beautiful." "The good thing about being old is that you've got so little to lose..." "Why's that flying here?" "A battleship?" "On its way to burn cities and people." "The enemy's?" "Ours?" "What difference does it make?" "Murderers!" "Look at all those bombs!" "It stopped." "Did you do that?" "I'm just tinkering." "It won't crash." "Howl!" "looks like they're onto us." "Madam Suliman's deputies." "Let's go back." "Run!" "Move those legs." "Hurry on in!" "No!" "Don't let go!" "Sophie?" "I've had it with this place!" "Sophie." "Good night." "he's gone for days on end." "Markl." "Need the toilet?" "I'm fine." "Good night." "You're in love." "Sighing away like that." "I thought so." "Were you ever in love?" "Of course I was." "I'm still in love." "What?" "why ever should we want them..." "But a young man's heart is so delicious!" "Unbelievable." "too." "What is that?" "Air raid siren." "Air raid?" "It's not for here." "But best not go out tonight." "Suliman's creatures are searching high and low for our house." "hiding us so well." "a stranger got in!" "Mother." "Sophie!" "Where have you been!" "I searched for you everywhere!" "look how you've aged!" "It's all my fault." "Sophie!" "Mother..." "I barely recognize the house." "Who is that?" "your landlady." "I've got a new husband!" "too!" "We can all live together again." "You'll never have to clean again." "But I'm happy here..." "Really?" "I forgot." "My car's waiting." "I've got to run." "I'm so glad I found you again." "We'll really catch up next time." "you take care." "Suliman." "Cal." "Mother." "Sophie." "I've done what I was told." "Take me back to my husband." "I'm sure Madam Suliman will be pleased." "Sophie..." "Look at all these people." "They're all running away." "The town will be empty." "too?" "That's what that lady spoke of... she did." "I'm glad we made up." "Sophie!" "Sophie." "Please stay." "I won't go." "Really!" "Are we a family?" "we're family." "good!" "I'll never let Suliman get a hold of Howl." "But the paper says we won." "Only fools swallow such lies." "I can't get Calcifer going." "will you stop that?" "Such an awful stink." "Why deny an old lady her pleasures." "Markl." "I wouldn't open that now... he can't possibly keep them out." "Markl!" "Close it quick!" "Markl." "I'll check on the shop." "put out the fires." "Howl!" "Dramatic as usual..." "Howl!" "I'm sorry." "I had too many enemies tonight." "Howl." "Master Howl!" "Sophie!" "be strong." "was that a gift from Suliman?" "That granny fed me something nasty." "if it isn't Howl."

"I've finally found someone I want to protect..." "You." "Howl!" "That's our town." "There's Howl." "Howl!" "Sophie!" "Turnip... come inside!" "Move?" "You're nuts." "There's nothing there."

"we can get in here." "The roof's leaking." "I'll go out." "Wait here." "here..." "Hurry." "Too damp." "Markl" "The castle's empty." "Howl and I could've handled it." "please." "You're my last hope." "I want to go to Howl." "Move the castle." "I know you can do it." "You're so strong." "But there's no chimney here..." "And the wood's damp..." "The best blaze brightest in adversity." "but..." "You really think so?" "Cal." "Grandma." "Sophie." "Of mine?" "I can't do it alone." "How about your eyes?" "My eyes?" "This?" "Calcifer!" "You are the best!"
