"You' II be fine, old lady" "You' re still healthy, and these clothes finally suit you" "But I can' t stay here" "Ouch, ouch lt' s not easy being old" "They' re saying this war is going to be terrible..." "Like a hand, granny?" "Such a gentleman, but I' II manage" "Sure, old lady, but where are you of f to?" "Just a bit farther than where you' re going" "I don' t recommend it, granny" "Nothing but witches and wizards ahead" "Thank you" "Going to the Folding Valley, at this hour?" "Says her youngest sister' s there" "I ve hardly made any progress a t all" "Thank goodness I' ve still got my teeth" "That II make a good cane" "Up we go" "Might be a bit too thick" "Ouch, ouch" "Wha t a stubborn branch" "Never underestima te Grandma Sophie" "Heave" "A scarecrow, eh?"

"Just go stand wherever you like!" "This is a perf ect cane Thank you kindly" "While you' re a t it, 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 f eel when you get old" "I smell smoke Maybe there s a cabin" "Turnip-head, isn' t that Howl s Castle?" "This is hardly wha t I meant when I asked for shelter!" "Wha t is this?" "You call this a castle?" "Is tha t the way in?" "Just wait up there" "Hey, there!" "Are you going to let me on, or not!" "My shawl!" "It seems warm enough inside, Turnip I' m going in" "Thank you" "Even Howl wouldn t want an ancient heart like mine" "This time, it' s really goodbye" "You may be a turnip, but you' re a good turnip" "May you find happiness" "Wha t is this place?" "Just looks like a dilapida ted heap" "Well, 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?" "Wrong." "I' m the fire demon, Calcif er!" "Well, then, Calcif er, can you break the spell I m under?" "Easy" "If you break the spell tha t chains me to this place," "I' II break your spell in a flash" "In other words, 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" "I' m chained here by a contract with Howl, who works me to death" "I m the one who keeps this castle moving" "My, you' ve got it rough" "If you figure out the secret contract, the spell will break" "If you do tha t, i II break your spell, too" "All right A bargain, eh?" "Granny" "Granny" "Boy..." "I ve got my doubts about her" "Hey, who' s this?" "Porthaven!" "When did she get in?" "Stand by" "Why, Mayor, sir" "The sun is already high is Master Jenkins a t home?" "The Master is out" "I answer in his stead" "An invita tion from His Majesty" "It has come to war" "His Majesty desires every wizard and magician, even the witches, to aid our homeland" "His presence is impera tive Tha t is all" "War, how awful" "And who might you be?" "Calcif er let me in" "Don t look at me She wandered in from the Wastes" "The Wastes?" "That' s strange You' re not a witch, are you?" "A witch could never get in" "Porthaven, again" "A customer?" "Stand by" "State your purpose" "Mama sent me" "The usual spell?" "Behave yourself, now" "It s not the Wastes" "Granny, are you a witch, too?" "That' s right, I' m the scariest witch in the land" "Sprinkle this powder on your ship and the winds will f avor it" "Sure" "Many thanks" "I can' t have you making up things" "You should give up that disguise lt' s not a disguise, it' s magic" "The Kingsbury door" "Stand by" "Is this the residence of Wizard Pendragon?" "It is, 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' II lose your nose" "Stop wandering around" "That' s enough!" "I m going to get really mad" "This is a magic house, isn t it?" "Oh, boy!" "Where does the black one lead?" "Only Master Howl knows" "I m having my break f ast" "But you ve got bacon and eggs" "We can' t use the fire when Master Howl s away" "I' II cook f or you" "But you can' t" "Calcif er only obeys Master Howl" "That s right, I won' t cook f or you" "Oh, here' s my hat" "All right, Calcif er Be a good fire, now" "Forget it, I' m a demon" "I answer to no one" "You' II do as I say, or I' II 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" "So, what' II it be?" "That' s right, there s a good fire" "Hey!" "Hey!" "I' II burn the bacon" "Calcif er' s doing wha t she says" "I' d like some tea, too Have you got a kettle?" "Sure" "Welcome home, Master Howl" "You have letters from the king" "To Jenkins and to Pendragon" "Calcif er, you re so obedient" "She bullied me" "Not an easy thing to do" "Who exactly are you?" "I' m Grandma Sophie" "You see, 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?" "Why, I hired myself" "I' ve never seen such a filthy house" "Hmm" "Markl, pla tes" "You re all ganging up on me" "Please join us, Sophie" "Sit over here" "Pick one" "Everything else is dirty" "I' ve got my work cut out f or me" "Markl" "Yes" "Sophie" "Thank you" "Brethren, let us partake of our daily bread" "Our daily bread" "Haven' t had a real break f ast in a long while" "So many manners to teach..." "So, what' s tha t in your pocket?" "Wha t?" "I wonder wha t it is" "Let me" "It' s scorched into the table Master Howl, this is..." "Ancient sorcery" "And powerful, too" "The Witch of the Waste?" ""He who catches a f ailing star, oh heartless man"" ""Your heart shall be mine..."" "Well, so much f or the table" "Wow, it' s gone!" "The scorch mark has vanished, but not the spell" "Brethren, continue your meal" "Calcif er, move the castle 100 kilometers" "And send hot water to the bath" "Not tha t, too!" "Do you work f or the Witch of the Waste?" "Don' t be stupid!" "The witch..." "Actually..." "the witch..." "I..." "Confound it!" "Damn tha t Witch of the Waste Wait til I get my hands on her!" "Let me finish eating this" "Bugs, you' d better scurry away or I' II sweep you out" "Every last one of you, mocking me" "There' s a spell I need" "Later" "A witch rages within" "Sophie" "Sophie, I' m going out i II die without some fresh wood" "Wha t, wha t are you doing?" "I' II fall, I II f all I m in peril" "I' m sweeping the ashes" "Won' t be a minute" "Oh, no Oh, no" "I m in danger" "I m in danger..." "I' II go out" "Oh, no I' m slipping..." "Hurry, Sophie" "Try not to torment my friend" "Master Howl, are you going out?" "Markl, tell our cleaning lady not to get too carried away" "What' d you do, Sophie?" "She abused me" "If i die, Howl goes with me" "I' m the cleaning lady" "It s my job to clean" "No, not the 2nd floor!" "If i were you, I' d put your precious things away in a hurry" "Save my room f or la ter" "My little outburst gave me back my strength" "Wha t a strange house" "Amazing!" "Calcif er, Calcif er!" "Are you moving the castle?" "What a lot of fuss!" "Of course I am" "You re incredible, Calcif er" "Your magic s first class I misjudged you completely" "You think so?" "You really think so!" "Oh, no, not yet!" "How beautiful" "It' s called Star Lake" "Something s stuck in there" "Oh, dear Lend me a hand, Markl" "Sure" "And up!" "A scarecrow" "He s called Turnip, the Turnip-head" "You sure like being upside down" "The odd creature seems to have taken a liking to me" "He followed me here" "Are you sure you re not a witch, Sophie?" "That' s right, I m the cleanest witch in the land" "Turnip, don' t pull it so tight" "Seems like he likes doing the wash" "They II dry in no time" "Turnip must belong to the demons" "Calcif er doesn t seem to mind him" "You' re right, maybe he s a demon of the dead" "But he led me to this wonderful place" "I' ve put away all the laundry, Sophie" "Why, 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 grea t!" "Sophie did this f or me" "The fighting is fierce" "The country s ablaze, from the southern coast to the northern border" "I ha te the fire in gunpowder" "They have no manners" "My own kind a ttacked me" "The Witch of the Waste?" "Hack wizards masquerading as monsters" "They' II cry plenty later on, when they can t regain human f orm" "No, they' II just forget they ever knew how to cry" "Aren' t you supposed to report to the king yourself?" "Yes, well..." "Hot wa ter f or my ba th" "Oh, no, not again" "is that Howl?" "Yeah, wasting my hot water again" "i m sure Howl won t eat any breakfast" "No ma tter" "Morning lt' s lovely shopping in the morning" "I' ve never seen the ocean" "Such beautiful, sparkling water" "Same as it always is" "I myself hate pota toes" "Pay up" "Thank you" "Thanks" "Fish, all fresh off the boa t" "Tha t one' s tasty" "I myself hate fish" "The fleet' s come home" "Is tha t the smoke?"

"A glass of wa ter, please" "Sure" "Sophie, wha t 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 didn t mix up anything, I simply cleaned up" "Cleaning, always cleaning" "I told you not to get too carried away" "It s hopeless" "How humiliating lt' s not so very bad" "This new shade' s quite lovely in its way" "I' m done f or." "What s the point in living, if you aren' t beautiful..." "Stop, Howl!" "Cut it out!" "He' s calling on the spirits of Darkness" "He did this last time a girl ditched him" "Please, Howl, that' s enough" "You can just dye your hair again" "I' ve had enough of you, Howl!" "I ve never once been beautiful!" "I' ve had enough of this place!" "Thank you, Turnip You' re a kind scarecrow" "Please come back, Sophie Howl s in trouble!"

"The Witch of the Waste is searching for my house" "You re right, I saw her cronies down at the port" "The truth is, I m a coward" "All this junk is just sorcery to keep her away i m scared to death" "Tell me, why is the Witch of the Waste a f ter you?" "She seemed quite interesting, 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..." "How many names do you use, Howl?" "Enough to guarantee my freedom" "Can' t you refuse the king?" "See tha t..." "The oa th I took a t the Sorcery Academy" "Say, Howl Why not visit the king?" "Wha t!" "Just say it to his face" ""Stop this f oolish war I refuse to help you"" "Sophie, you don' t know what they' re like" "But he' s the king, right?" "A king thinks only of what s best f or his people" "I know!" "You' II go in my place, 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 ha t?" "Af ter all the magic I spent making your dress pretty..." "Of f I go" "Sure" "See you later!" "This charm assures your sa fe return" "Don t worry, I' II follow you in disguise" "There Of f you go!" "I' m sure this will never work" "i don' t suppose he' s following me, disguised as a crow" "I' m sure Howl would pick a more drama tic disguise" "Not that..." "The Palace is so f ar away" "Howl?" "Don' t tell me you' re Howl" "Disguising yourself as an old dog, of all things" "Do you know how exhausting it is to be old?" "How nice to see you The little ha tter, right?" "The Witch of the Waste!" "Thank you so much for delivering my note to Howl" "How' s Howl doing?" "Quite terrified" "Thanks to him, I' ve become a cleaning lady" "My how delightful" "By the way, wha t brings you to see the king?" "Job hunting I' m sick of working for Howl" "And yourself?" "The king invited me" "It seems that idiot, Suliman, finally needs my power" "Why don t you break the spell you put on me" "That' s impossible" "My gif ts lie in casting spells, not breaking them" "See you la ter, then" "Hey, wait a minute Just wait!" "If you weren t here, i d have hit her with my cane" "What s wrong with you?" "Madam, vehicles are prohibited beyond this point" "Please continue on foot" "Tha t Suliman" "Using magic to f orce me to climb these stairs" "We' II catch up Pay her no mind" "Heavy, why are you so heavy?" "You..." "Hey..." "Wait" "Wha t is it?" "Suddenly remembered..." "how to break my spell?" "I told you..." "I don t know how" "Then, start studying up" "I don' t get it" "Where does she get all tha t energy?" "I have to put you down" "Why don t you call it a day?" "You can' t make it" "It s been 50 years now, since they drove me out of here..." "I' ve been longing f or this day..." "Ever since" "Good luck to you, then" "Still, I' m not nice enough to help you out" "Come, Howl" "You heartless wench" "Next time I' II turn you f eeble, too" "Hurry up!" "Madam, f ollow me" "First, you should help her" "We are f orbidden 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 wha t you ve been waiting f or?" "Madam Pendragon and the Witch of the Waste!" "Pendragon..." "Tha t name sounds f amiliar" "Of course it does Tha t was the name of my ha t shop" "It was?" "Please wait here" "A chair!" "It' s mine!" "Howl, get back here" "Madam, this way please" "I understand you' re Howl' s mother" "Yes My name is Pendragon" "I' m sure you re weary Please have a sea t" "Yes" "I am Madam Suliman, His Majesty s witch" "Um, tha t dog is..." "Ah, you mean Heen?" "He does my errands I asked him to escort you" "Howl won' t join us, then?" "You see, 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 gif ts" "I rejoiced in finally finding a worthy heir" "But then, a demon stole his heart, and he abandoned me" "He turned his magic to purely selfish uses" "Mrs. Pendragon" "That boy is dangerous" "His power is too grea t f or one with no heart" "If he f ollows tha t path he II 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" "Once upon a time, she was a magnificent witch" "She made a bargain with a demon who consumed her, body and soul, long, long ago" "Our kingdom can no longer a f ford to turn a blind eye to disreputable wizards and witches" "If Howl comes here to serve the kingdom," "I will teach him how to break with the demon" "If not, I' II 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" "Forcing your aged guests to climb stairs, dragging them into strange rooms" "It s like a trap" "You call Howl heartless!" "Yes, he' s selfish and cowardly and unpredictable" "But he' s straight as an arrow He only wants to be free" "Howl won t turn into an evil monster" "He II ba ttle the demon on his own" "I believe in him" "Mrs. Pendragon..." "You re in love with Howl" "Howl..." "Howl' s coming?" "I want Howl s heart, I want it" "That' s enough from you Howl s not coming" "Howl will most certainly come" "Now, I' ve found his weakness" "Your Majesty" "As you are" "How are you f eeling?" "Thank you f or asking" "Meetings bore me I flew out for a breather" "How lovely" "These are?" "This is Wizard Howl s mother" "I see" "i apprecia te it, but I don t intend to win any war with magic" "It s true tha t Suliman s powers shield our palace from bombs" "But they just fall on neighboring towns" "That' s how magic works Right, Suliman?" "Such eloquence today, Your Majesty" "Suliman!" "This is the final ba ttle This time, we II bea t them to a pulp" "Suliman, you' ve outdone yourself with tha t double." "Await good news" "Thank you kindly" "Have my generals assembled?" "It s been awhile, Howl" "Delighted to see you doing so well" "I saw right through you" "I ve kept my oa th" "I' ve no wish to fight you" "I' II take my mother" "I won' t let you go" "Don t look down, you II be dragged down lt' s time I showed your mother what you really are" "Howl, don t !"

"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 Iove you!" "Too la te" "howl!" "howl must be back" "Sophie, 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?"
