:
:On a grassy knoll...)
:RADIO:...Now for the weather report from Northwest
: Karikiya. A high pressure system over land will bring
: good weather overall. Tonight, the wind will be from
: the west by northwest, wind pressure 3, clear, with a
: beautiful full moon. Tomorrow should be clear, and
: also the day after. Next, the futures prices from
: the Karikiya Central Produce Market...
:(At home...)
:KIKI:Jiji! I've decided! I'm leaving tonight!
:KIKI:Mother!! (to Mrs. Dora) Oh, good day! Mother, did you
: hear the weather forecast? It's going to clear tonight.
: There'll be a beautiful moon!
:KOKIRI: Kiki, did you take Father's radio out again?
:KIKI: Well, he won't mind. (to Mrs. Dora) Mrs. Dora, how
: are you? I've made up my mind, I'm going to do it
: tonight.
:KOKIRI: But, dear, you said you were going to postpone it for a
: month...
:KIKI: But I don't know if the next full moon will be clear.
: I want to depart on a clear night.
:KOKIRI: Ah...Wait a minute! Kiki! <poof!>
:DORA: Do witches have to leave home as part of their
: training?
:KOKIRI: Yes, it's an old custom. If a child wants to be a witch,
: she leaves home when she turns 13.
:DORA: How soon. So Kiki is at that age already?
:KOKIRI: But to leave home alone so young, it won't do in this
: day and age.
:DORA: I remember well the day you came to this town. A tiny,
: 13-year-old girl riding on a broom, dropping out of the
: sky. Eyes sparkling, a bit saucy...
:KOKIRI: But that child, all she's mastered is flying. And
: there'll be no one to carry on my medicine-making.
:DORA: It's the fault of the times. Everything's changing.
: But for me and my rheumatism, your medicine works the
: best.
:(In Kiki's bedroom...)
:KIKI: Well, you were so eager to depart, and now that the
: time has come, you're sure dilly-dallying.
:JIJI: No, it's not that. After all, it's the beginning of
: your independence, and you should be more cautious
: and calm.
:KIKI: So, what'll I do if I wait a month and in the meantime
: find a nice boyfriend? It'll be too hard to leave then.
:JIJI: It's always a worry, what'll happen, because once you
: decide, you're such an impulsive person.
:KIKI: Well, I guess I am. I'm all excited, like when I'm
: about to open up a gift.
:(Kiki's dad arrives...)
:KIKI: Father, I've decided to leave tonight.
:OKINO: What did you say??
:KIKI: I decided, just a little while ago.
:OKINO: But look, I borrowed the camping equipment for next
: week...
:KIKI: I'm sorry.
:OKINO: This won't do! Ah...Ah!
:(Okino is on the telephone...)
:OKINO: Thank you. We'll be waiting. (dials)
: This is Okino. Kiki's leaving tonight...
: Yes, that's right.
:(In Kiki's bedroom...)
:KOKIRI: It looks nice, doesn't it?
:KIKI: If only it were purple...
:KOKIRI: Witches have worn that since long ago.
:KIKI: A black cat, black clothes...I'm all in black.
:KOKIRI: Kiki, don't worry so much about your appearance.
: What's important is the 'inner soul'.
:KIKI: Yes, I understand. Leave the 'inner soul' part to me.
: It's too bad I can't show it to you.
:KOKIRI: And don't forget to always smile.
:KIKI: O-kay!
:KOKIRI: And write us a letter as soon as you're settled.
:(Kokiri leaves, and Okino walks in...)
:KIKI: Father! May I have that radio? All right?
: The radio?! Hooray!!
:OKINO: (laughs) I finally lost it...
: Hey, let me see my little witch. You look a
: lot like your mother
: when she was younger.
:KIKI: Father, lift me up 'high-high', like when I was small.
:OKINO: All right. (lifts her) When did you get so big?...
: If it doesn't go well, you can always return home.
:KIKI: That's not going to happen.
:OKINO: It'll be nice if you find a nice town.
:KIKI: Right.
:(Evening, on the patio...)
:NEIGHBOR A: That's hard--to find a town to live in by yourself.
:NEIGHBOR B: Kiki will do fine.
:FRIEND A: What kind of town will you choose?
:FRIEND B: A big city?
:KIKI: Well, I'm planning to find a town overlooking
: the ocean.
:FRIENDS: Oh, how wonderful. We're jealous!
:KIKI: But I'm going for my training. I can't become a
: witch unless I live for one year in another town.
:FRIEND C: But there'll be a disco there, won't there?
:KOKIRI: Kiki, it's time.
:KIKI: All right.
:KOKIRI: Dear, are you going with that broom?
:KIKI: Yes, I just made it. Isn't it cute?
:KOKIRI: It won't do; it's so small. Take Mother's broom.
:KIKI: Oh, no! It's so old.
:KOKIRI: That's why it's just right. It's been through a lot,
: and will weather any storm. Take it, OK?
:KIKI: But I worked so hard to make this one. Right, Jiji?
:JIJI: I think your mother's broom is better...
:KIKI: Backstabber!
:DORA: Kiki, when you get settled in your new town, you can
: make your own, can't you?
:KIKI: (Resignedly) Well... (switches brooms with Kokiri)
:OKINO: Be careful.
:KOKIRI: Chin up.
:KIKI: I'll be off.
:KOKIRI: Do your best! Take it easy! Be sure to write!
:FRIENDS: Go, go, Kiki! Go, go, Kiki! Go, go, Kiki...!
:(Kiki takes off...)
:KOKIRI: Oh, clumsy as always!
:OKINO: (listening with hands cupped) It's OK. I think she's
: off without any trouble.
:NEIGHBOR: I guess we won't be hearing those bells for awhile...
:(Over the town...)
:JIJI: Which way are we going?
:KIKI: To the south, where we can see the ocean.
:KIKI: Jiji! Turn on the radio, my hands are busy! Hurry!
:(The credits roll...)
:(Over the lake...)
:KIKI: Good evening.
:WITCH: Well, well...Are you a newcomer?
:KIKI: Yes, I just departed this evening.
:WITCH: Would you mind turning off that music? I like to
: fly in silence.
:KIKI: Oh. Is it hard to settle down in a strange
: town?
:WITCH: Well, there were problems. But I can tell fortunes,
: so it's going all right.
:KIKI: Fortune-telling...
:WITCH: And lately, I've been telling love-fortunes.
:KIKI: Really?
:WITCH: What's your specialty?
:KIKI: Well, I've been thinking about various things.
:WITCH: Oh? I'll be through with my training soon. I'm so
: glad I can return home with my head held high.
: (points down) That's my town. It's not big, but
: it's all right. And you too, do your best.
:KIKI: I will.
:WITCH: (Departing with a flourish...) Well, bye!
:JIJI: What a snob! Did you see that cat? Ehh...
:KIKI: A specialty...
:(A sudden rainstorm...)
:KIKI: What the...! That weather report!!
:JIJI: That's no good! It's a freight train.
:KIKI: Let's rest a bit until the rain stops.
:JIJI: Won't we get a scolding?
:KIKI: Well, if we're discovered. I'm soaking wet.
:JIJI: Is it swaying?
:KIKI: Um...it smells good.
:(The next morning...)
:KIKI: Ah, Ah! (laughs hysterically)
:KIKI: Sorry, I didn't know it was your dinner.
:(Atop the boxcar...)
:KIKI: Jiji, it's the sea, the sea! How wonderful!
: It's my first view of the sea!
:JIJI: Big deal! It's just a lot of water.
:KIKI: Look, look! A big town! I wonder if there's a
: witch there?
:JIJI: Hmm...I wonder.
:(Kiki prepares to take off from the train...)
:KIKI: Here we go.
:KIKI: Jiji, are you holding on?
:KIKI: Look! It's a town right by the sea! A
: clocktower! I wanted to live in a town
: like this!
:JIJI: But there may be a witch here already.
:KIKI: And there may not be. Isn't it beautiful?
:JIJI: This town's a little too big.
:(At the clock tower...)
:CARETAKER: Hey, a witch! Isn't that something!
:KIKI: Good morning. Is there a witch in this town?
:CARETAKER: Hmm...I haven't seen one for a long time.
:KIKI: (to Jiji) Did you hear that? I've decided on this
: town. Thanks, mister!
:CARETAKER: Not at all!...
:JIJI: You really want to go down there?
:KIKI: Of course!
:JIJI: They're all looking.
:KIKI: Smile. We have to make a good first impression.
:(On the street...)
:KIKI: Ahem...I'm Kiki, a witch, and this black cat is Jiji.
: I hope I'm not intruding. I'd like to live in this
: town. It's beautiful, and the clock tower is
: wonderful.
:WOMAN : (nonplussed) Really? I'm so glad you like it here.
:BYSTANDER
:(A policeman approaches her on the run.)
:COP: Hey, you! You can't jump out in the street like that!
: You almost caused a big accident! Flying around town
: like that is dangerous.
:KIKI: But I'm a witch. All witches fly.
:COP: Witches have to obey the traffic laws like everyone
: else. Your name and address?
:KIKI: You're going to notify my home?
:COP: You're a minor, aren't you. I will if I have to.
:(Voice): Thief! Thief!...Thief!!
:COP: You wait right here!
:(On a side street...)
:JIJI: Kiki...
:TOMBO: Hey, there...That worked out great, didn't it?
: I'm the one who yelled out "Thief!" You're a witch,
: aren't you? I saw you flying.
: So you really do fly on a broom. Say, will you
: let me see it?
:BOYS: Tombo! Hunting girls so early in the morning?
:TOMBO: Idiots! Oops...
:TOMBO: Hey, please, for just a minute, OK?
:KIKI: Thank you for saving me. But I didn't ask for your
: help. And when you haven't been properly introduced,
: it's rude to start talking to a girl. Hmph!
:TOMBO: You're really a witch, aren't you...just like my
: grandmother.
:KIKI: Don't follow me!
:(Kiki flies away...)
:TOMBO: Ah...Cool!
:(In a hotel...)
:HOTEL CLERK: A room? Is there a guardian with you?
:KIKI: I'm a witch. Witches become independent when they
: turn 13.
:HOTEL CLERK: Well then, may I see some identification?
:KIKI: Never mind.
:(At the monument...)
:JIJI: Aren't you going to eat?
:KIKI: If you want it, you can have it.
:JIJI: It'll be evening soon.
:KIKI: Let's go.
:(In front of a bakery...)
:JIJI: Let's find another town. There's a bigger, better
: place somewhere else, I'm sure.
:OSONO: Ma'am! You forgot something! Ma'am!!
:OSONO: Oh, no, what a problem. That baby will cry and cry
: without this.
:OSONO: I'm sorry, customers. Please wait a minute, I have to
: deliver this.
:KIKI: Ah, would you like me to deliver it for you?
:OSONO: But...
:KIKI: It's that lady with the baby carriage who went around
: the corner, right?
:OSONO: Would you? Thank you so much!
:KIKI: It's nothing. Jiji, here we go.
:OSONO: Oh!...(she sees her flying) Oho!...
:(Kiki catches up with the lady and her carriage...)
:KIKI: The bakery lady asked me to deliver this. Something
: you forgot.
:(At the bakery...)
:OSONO: Thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting. The usual,
: right?
:OSONO: (to Kiki) Ah, thank you for your trouble. Come on
: in and wait a second.
: Thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting. Yes, thanks.
: Please take care.
:OSONO: (to Kiki) That was quite a surprise. So, you can fly!
:KIKI: I came to deliver this letter.
:OSONO: It's that lady's signature. (Letter: I have received
: the pacifier. Thank you.)
:KIKI: Well, I'll be on my way.
:OSONO: Oh, wait. Can't you stay a minute. I want to thank
: you. This way.
:(In the kitchen...)
:OSONO: Sit down. Is coffee OK?
:KIKI: Yes, thank you.
:OSONO: (to Jiji) This is for you.
:OSONO: I see...So that's why you're looking for your own town.
:KIKI: The people of this town don't seem to like witches.
:OSONO: It's a big town, and there are all kinds of people.
: But me, I like you. And, have you found a place to
: stay?
: Well, if that's the case, why didn't you say something
: earlier. We have a spare room you can use.
:KIKI: Really, Madam?
:OSONO: (laughs) Never mind the 'Madam'. Here they all call
: me 'Osono of the bakery'.
:KIKI: I'm Kiki, and this black cat is Jiji.
:(A dusty room upstairs...)
:OSONO: It's a little dusty, but you can fix it up to suit
: yourself.
:KIKI: Yes.
:OSONO: The water and toilet are downstairs. If you need
: anything, don't hesitate to ask.
:KIKI: Thank you.
:JIJI: It's dusty with flour.
:KIKI: Right.
:JIJI: I think, by tomorrow, I'll be a white cat.
:KIKI: Jiji, we can see the ocean!
:JIJI: Tomorrow, shall we look for another town?
:(Jiji looks at the cat next door...)
:JIJI: Huh! Huh! What a snob!
:(Bedtime...)
:KIKI: I want to stay in this town a little longer.
: There may be others, like Madam Osono, who like me.
:(The next morning...)
:KIKI: How much do you think it costs to have a phone put in?
:JIJI: A telephone?
:KIKI: Yes, I'm going to start a business.
:(In the bakery...)
:KIKI: Good morning!
:OSONO: Morning! Did you sleep well?
:KIKI: Uh-huh. It smells good. Is it all right if I help?
:OSONO: Um.
: So, a delivery service?
:KIKI: Since flying is the only skill I have, I thought,
: maybe, a delivery service.
:OSONO: That sounds interesting...a flying delivery service.
: You came up with a good idea!
: You can use that room.
:KIKI: Really?! I'm so glad. I'm thinking of having a
: phone put in.
:OSONO: Won't that be expensive?
:KIKI: I brought a little money with me.
:OSONO: That's wasteful. Look, why don't you use the phone
: in the shop? It'll be difficult until you have a
: regular clientele. Since I'm in this condition, if
: you'll help mind the store occasionally, the room and
: the phone will be free. And we'll throw in breakfast!
:KIKI: Oh, thank you! I'll work very hard. Madam Osono,
: you're a nice person, aren't you!
:(Kiki cleans up her room...)
:KIKI: Jiji, I'm finished. Let's go shopping.
:(On the street...)
:JIJI: You shouldn't jump out into the street like that...
: After all, we're not out in the country.
:KIKI: I know, I know. I did it without thinking.
:GIRLS: (laughter) That's terrible...I wouldn't...But he.....
:KIKI: If only my clothes were a little nicer...
:(Shopping...)
:KIKI: Just daily living takes a bit of money...
:JIJI: Kiki!! Look, look!
:(On the way home...)
:JIJI: Do you have enough money?
:KIKI: Well, we'll have to make do with hotcakes for awhile.
:KIKI: Aren't they beautiful?
:TOMBO: Stop! Stop!
: Little-miss-witch, aren't you flying today?
: (to his friends) See, didn't I tell you? She's
: really wearing a black dress. Hey, wait a minute,
: Miss Witch!...
:(At the bakery...)
:OSONO: Kiki, you're just in time. It's a customer. There's
: someone here who needs something delivered.
:KIKI: Really? I'll be right there!
:(Running upstairs...)
:KIKI: Map...
:(In the bakery...)
:OSONO: This is a regular customer of the shop. When you came
: up in our conversation, she said it's just perfect.
:MAKI: What a cute witch!
:KIKI: My name is Kiki.
:MAKI: I'd like you to deliver this. I wonder if it will get
: there by this evening?
:KIKI: Yes.
:MAKI: It's a birthday gift for my nephew. Something came up
: at work and I can't make it to the party.
:KIKI: Where shall I deliver it?
:JIJI: (Sees the toy cat) It's me!
:MAKI: I wonder if it's too far?
:KIKI: I can fly there in a straight line.
:MAKI: What about the fee?
:KIKI: Well, I haven't decided yet.
:MAKI: Do you think this would be enough?
:KIKI: It's so much. Thank you!
:(On the street...)
:TOMBO: (Watching Kiki ascend...) Isn't that neat?!
:OSONO: If only I could fly, too...
:TOMBO: Lady, do you know that girl?!
:(High above the town...)
:JIJI: Kiki, how high do you plan on flying?
:KIKI: Well, this is my first job--the police won't bother me
: up here.
:JIJI: (as a seaplane passes far below) I thought you were
: making a delivery to an angel.
:KIKI: It's on the other side of that cape. Here we go!
:KIKI: Jiji, I like this town.
:JIJI: It's too soon to make up your mind.
:KIKI: But now I can write a letter to Mother.
:(Alongside the geese...)
:KIKI: A flock of geese! How beautiful! They're going in
: the same direction we are!
:KIKI: I wonder what's wrong?
:JIJI: They said a big wind is coming!
:KIKI: What?!
:JIJI: They're saying, 'Let's fly higher.'
:(A gust of wind...)
:KIKI: (seeing the falling stuffed-cat) Oh, no!!
:(In the tree...)
:KIKI: This won't do! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! (seeing a nest)
: Please excuse me! I wasn't going to steal your eggs!
:KIKI: Wow, that was scary!
:JIJI: Well, it was your fault. After all, they warned you
: about the wind.
:KIKI: You're right. Aren't they something? Look how high
: they're flying, using that wind.
:JIJI: Kiki, it's gone!!
:KIKI: You're right! Oh, no!!
:JIJI: It must have happened when we fell.
:(The crows come back...)
:JIJI: They're saying, 'The egg-thief is back again'!
:KIKI: Oh, no. What shall we do?!
:KIKI: Ohhh!...My broom. Stop it! Stop it! (swinging the
: empty cage) Hey, stop it!!
:KIKI: What a problem. They're still kicking up a fuss...
:JIJI: Ah, a witch's standing has really fallen. Crows used
: to be retainers to witches.
:KIKI: But that was a long time ago.
: The only thing we can do is wait until sunset and
: return quietly and search.
:JIJI: But then we'll be late for our delivery.
:KIKI: Jiji, we have to do this as a last resort.
:JIJI: This won't work!
:KIKI: Please. I'll come and rescue you as soon as I find it.
:(Above the cape...)
:JIJI: Is that the house?
:KIKI: Uh-huh. Now don't move.
:JIJI: How about breathing?
:KIKI: As little as possible.
:(At the house...)
:KETTO: It's Auntie's present! How weird! (laughs)
:KETTO'S: It took you a long time, didn't it? My sister called,
:MOTHER so we were expecting you.
:KIKI: I'm sorry. Ah...Would you sign for it, please?
:KETTO: Mother, is it all right if I transfer the canary?
:KETTO'S: Yes, but be careful not to let it get away.
:MOTHER
:KETTO: Okay.
:KIKI: Thank you very much.
:(In the house...)
:KETTO: Now stay calm, Pitchi. Hey, you're not getting away!
:JIJI: (whispering) Kiki, hurry!
:(In the forest...)
:KIKI: What am I going to do? It should be around here
: somewhere. There it is!
:(At the cabin...)
:KIKI: Excuse me please! Is anyone here? Excuse me!
:URSULA: Yes...I can't stop now. Would you come up here?
:(On the roof...)
:URSULA: What is it?
:KIKI: That stuffed black cat in the window. It's something I
: lost.
:URSULA: (to the crow) You're a good birdie, aren't you. Now,
: don't move. (to Kiki) I found it in the forest a
: little while ago.
:KIKI: May I have it back?
:URSULA: Just a minute; I don't want to stop right now.
: (to the crow) That's good. Aren't you pretty.
:(Back down at the cabin...)
:URSULA: Well, if that's the case, why didn't you say so
: earlier? I just thought it was kind of cute.
:KIKI: Thank you! Oh, it's ripped!
:URSULA: It's the crow's fault. They were making a fuss at the
: time.
:KIKI: What shall I do? It belongs to a customer.
:URSULA: How about a trade-off?
:(Later, in the cabin...)
:URSULA: So, you're on your own at 13? I think that's great--I
: like the idea!
:KIKI: Ah, can it be fixed?
:URSULA: I told you, leave it to me.
:(The house on the cape...)
:KETTO'S: Ketto! Ketto, hurry and take a bath! The guests will
:MOTHER be here soon! KET-TO!!
:(The log cabin...)
:URSULA: Finished!
:KIKI: Thank you.
:URSULA: OK, hurry and go rescue Jiji.
:KIKI: But I haven't finished cleaning.
:URSULA: That's plenty. Hurry, hurry!
:KIKI: Thank you.
:(At the house on the cape...)
:KETTO: Jeff (the dog) is really a funny one. (laughter)
:KETTO'S : It's so comical; Jeff has taken such a liking to that
:MOTHER stuffed cat, he won't let go of it.
:GUEST A: I wonder if he thinks it's a puppy?
:GUEST B: If Maki hears that, she'll be angry. (laughter)
:KETTO: It's OK, I'm going to give it to Jeff.
:KETTO'S: Why don't you write a letter to Aunt Maki?
:MOTHER
:KETTO: Okay.
:GUEST A: Jeff has really aged, hasn't he? You have to be nice
: to him, Ketto.
:KETTO: But all he does is sleep.
:GUEST A: Isn't that the truth!
:KETTO'S: Ketto, Jeff wants to go out. Open the door for him.
:MOTHER
:KETTO: Okay. When you're done, close the door yourself.
:(Outside the house...)
:KIKI: JIJI!!
:JIJI: You're late!
:KIKI: I'm sorry.
:JIJI: (pointing to Jeff) He's the one who saved me. He
: says he'll replace the stuffed cat.
:KIKI: Can you do this favor for us?
:(Above the town...)
:KIKI: Are you still feeling stiff?
:JIJI: I'm hungry.
:KIKI: That's right. And I'm dead tired, too. But it was a
: wonderful day. And you know, the person who found the
: stuffed cat for me wants to paint a picture with me
: as a model.
:JIJI: Nude?
:KIKI: Stupid!
:(At the bakery...Sign: "I deliver...Kiki")
:KIKI: How slow it is...
:JIJI: That won't do. You're supposed to be watching the
: shop.
:KIKI: But there's not a single customer coming around.
:JIJI: It's going to be the busy hour pretty soon.
:KIKI: No, I mean customers for the delivery service.
: Jiji, if it's like this for a long, lo-o-o-ng time,
: and customers don't come, and every day, e-e-ev-ery
: day, until I become an old lady, we have only hot
: cakes to eat, what'll we do?
:JIJI: Myself, I like hotcakes...if they're not burned.
:KIKI: Huh. Cats sure have an easy life. Well, don't blame
: me if you get as big around as a hotcake...!
:KIKI: Isn't she pretty? I hear she's a fashion designer.
:JIJI: I don't like her cat...'cause she's such a snob.
:(The telephone rings...)
:KIKI: Hello, this is the Gutiokipanja bakery...Yes we do...
: (whispers) Jiji, it's a customer, a customer!
: ...I should be at your house by 4:30. Yes, I
: understand. May I have your address? Yes...yes...
: a house with a blue roof. Thank you. I'll be there
: without fail.
:TOMBO: This please. Here you are.
:KIKI: Thank you very much.
:TOMBO: Listen, don't be mad, and hear me out. Our club is
: having a party tonight. It's called the Aviation Club,
: and we want you to come for sure. Here's the
: invitation.
:TOMBO: It's a formal event. Everyone's anxious to hear
: your story.
:(A customer enters with a parcel...)
:KIKI: Ah, welcome.
:CUSTOMER: I heard you have a delivery service here .
:KIKI: Yes...Do you have a package to deliver?
:CUSTOMER: Can you deliver this right away?
:KIKI: Yes, I'll take care of it.
:CUSTOMER: Can you manage?
:TOMBO: Shall I help?
:KIKI: It's all right.
:TOMBO: (leaving) I'll be here to pick you up at 6 o'clock,
: so decide by then, OK? Bye!
:CUSTOMER: How much will it be?
:KIKI: Is it in-town or out-of-town?
:CUSTOMER: I wrote the address on the box.
:KIKI: Oh, I'm sorry.
:(In the living room...)
:KIKI: Mrs. Osono! What'll I do?! I got an invitation to
: a party.
:OSONO: Isn't that nice. You should go.
:KIKI: But I only have this one dress.
:OSONO: So, you're worried about that? It's a very nice dress,
: because black shows off a girl's beauty.
:KIKI: Really?
:OSONO: How's the business?
:KIKI: I have two jobs. It's already 4 o'clock! Oh, no!
: I'm sorry, would you take over the shop?
: (running out) JIJI, JIJI!
:(Over the town...)
:JIJI: You were so mad at that guy, and now you're going to
: his party?!
:KIKI: Don't talk now! I have to concentrate; this package
: is so heavy!
:KIKI: Thank you very much.
: (to Jiji) We have to hurry!
:(Airborne again...)
:KIKI: Next, we have an appointment at 4:30. It's a blue roof.
:(At an old mansion...)
:KIKI: Ah, I'm Kiki, the one who made an appointment for a
: pick-up.
:BERTHA: Yes, come in. You're right on time, aren't you.
:KIKI: Yes.
:BERTHA: Madam, she's here.
:MADAM: Oh, no. What a problem. What to do? Is it the
: appointed time already?
:BERTHA: (to Kiki) Go on in.
:KIKI: All right.
:BERTHA: I'll take that for you. A black cat and a
: broom. It's just like my great-grandmother told me.
:KIKI: I'm Kiki, of the delivery service.
:MADAM: Well, well. Such a cute witch. But you know, the food
: I was going to have you deliver isn't ready yet.
: The oven temperature just won't go up. Isn't it
: strange?
: It's no use, when machines and people get old.
: I thought I'd have you deliver a dish right out of
: the oven for my grandchild's party. It's my specialty
: --herring and pumpkin pot pie. But we'll have to give
: up. I'll apologize to my grandchild on the phone.
: And you had to make a wasted trip, didn't you.
: BERTHA...BERTHA! Give the witch her fee.
:BERTHA: Ah, yes?
:MADAM: That's all right. Give her the amount we agreed on.
:KIKI: Madam!
:MADAM: Please accept it. After all, it wasn't your fault.
:KIKI: Madam, I still have a little time. Can't you use that
: oven?
:MADAM: Ah, that. It used to bake beautifully, but I haven't
: used it for some time.
:KIKI: If it's a wood-burning oven, I can help. In the
: country, my mother taught me how.
:MADAM: Even so, it's a lot of work.
:BERTHA: It's a great idea. I don't like electric ovens, but if
: it's a wood-burning oven, we can use the fireplace logs.
:KIKI: Let's do it, Madam.
:MADAM: Should we? Well then, can you help us?
:(At the woodshed...)
:JIJI: Showing off is okay, but if you're late for the party,
: don't blame me.
:KIKI: But I couldn't just accept the money. We have to hurry.
:(In the kitchen...)
:BERTHA: (holding a bellows) Look. This still works.
:MADAM: You were well-trained by your mother, weren't you?
: You've got everything in good order. It's sort of
: exciting, isn't it?
:BERTHA: I just hate electricity.
:MADAM: It looks like the right moment. Ah, that's just right.
: Now all we do is wait.
:KIKI: About 40 minutes?
:MADAM: Yes, that's about right. Well, let's take a little
: break.
:KIKI: Is there anything else I can help with?
:MADAM: Really? Well, I wonder if we could impose on you?
:JIJI: This is asking too much.
:KIKI: Not at all.
:JIJI: I don't think you'll make it on time. No way.
:KIKI: Worrywart! If I fly full-speed, I can make it in
: exactly 15 minutes.
:BERTHA: The tea is ready. Come this way.
:(In the kitchen...)
:MADAM: ...! A party at 6 o'clock? Can you make it on time?
:KIKI: Sure, I can make it in 15 minutes.
:MADAM: Oh, no!! That clock is 10 minutes slow!
:KIKI: Oh, what'll I do?
:MADAM: Hurry, the oven!
:KIKI: All right.
:MADAM: BERTHA, BERTHA!!
:KIKI: How does it look?
:MADAM: It looks fine. Now, hurry!
:KIKI: All right.
:BERTHA: Hurry!
:KIKI: All right.
:MADAM: You forgot something. (hands her some money)
:KIKI: ...No, this is too much!!
:MADAM: Please take it.
:BERTHA: Hurry, hurry!!
:MADAM: Have a nice time at the party.
:BERTHA: You can go out there!
:(In the air...)
:KIKI: It was such beautiful weather until now.
:JIJI: My whiskers are crackling!
:JIJI: Let's get out of the rain!
:KIKI: We can't; we'll be late, and this food will get cold!
:(At the granddaughter's house...)
:GRAND-
:DAUGHTER: What do you want?
:KIKI: I have something to deliver.
:GRAND-
:DAUGHTER: Oh, it's soaking wet.
:KIKI: That's because it suddenly started to rain. But the
: food is fine.
:GRAND-
:DAUGHTER: And I told her I didn't want it.
:(from inside):What is it?
:GRAND-
:DAUGHTER: It's from Grandmother. She sent a herring pie again.
:KIKI: Ah, would you sign for it, please?
:GRAND-
:DAUGHTER: You know, I hate this pie. (slams door)
:JIJI: Is she really that lady's granddaughter? Beh...beh!!
: (sticks out tongue)
:(Above the town...)
:JIJI: Is it too late for the party? Kiki, there's that boy!
: You can still make it!
:(At the bakery...)
:OSONO: That was quite a downpour. That boy waited a long time.
:KIKI: It's too late now. I can't go like this anyway.
:(In Kiki's bedroom...)
:JIJI: What's the matter, Kiki? Have a headache? Let's eat,
: I'm hungry.
:(The next morning...)
:OSONO: KIKI!
:(Upstairs...)
:OSONO: Are you feeling sick?...What a fever!
:KIKI: My head's throbbing.
:OSONO: Last night, you didn't dry off completely, did you?
:KIKI: I think I'm going to die...
:OSONO: (laughs) It's just a cold. I'll bring you some
: medicine. And also, you'll have to eat something.
:KIKI: I'm not hungry.
:OSONO: It's better to eat a little, even if you don't want to.
: I'll make you some milk-gruel. Some for Jiji, too.
:(A little later...)
:OSONO: This is best when one has a cold. Here, Jiji. It's
: hot, so be careful. (to Kiki:) Now, eat some while
: it's hot. Can you get up?
:KIKI: Do I absolutely have to?
:OSONO: Well, if you want to get healthy again. Oh, yes. That
: boy came to the shop a little while ago. When I told
: him you were sick, he said, "You mean witches get sick
: too?" He wants to visit you later. What do you
: want to do?
:KIKI: No, no!
:OSONO: I thought you'd say that, so I turned him down
: politely. You have a good rest; you overtaxed
: yourself. I'll open the window, OK?
:KIKI: Mrs. Osono?...Oh, nothing.
:(The next morning...)
:KIKI: JIJI...JIJI!!
:JIJI: What?
:KIKI: Jiji, it's time to eat.
:OSONO: Kiki, how are you this morning?
:KIKI: I'm just fine; Sorry I overslept.
:OSONO: That's all right. When you come down, I have a favor
: to ask of you.
:(In the bakery...)
:KIKI: The name is 'Kopori'?
:OSONO: Is this enough?
:KIKI: I don't want anything. I can walk there, it's
: so close.
:OSONO: That won't do. Business is business. Be sure to hand
: it to the right person.
:(In the courtyard...)
:KIKI: Jiji!
:JIJI: A job?
:KIKI: Well...a friend? What's her name?
:JIJI: It's Lily. I'll be right there.
:KIKI: That's OK, it's not far. Miss Lily, I'll leave him in
: your care.
:(On the terrace...)
:KIKI: How beautiful...
:TOMBO: Hey, Miss Witch! Out for a walk?
:KIKI: No, I'm looking for someone named Kopori.
:TOMBO: ...That's me!
:KIKI: What?!
:TOMBO: Come around over there. I'll be right down.
:KIKI: (looks at the slip) It's Mrs. Osono!
:(In front of Tombo's house...)
:TOMBO: Thank you.
:KIKI: Um, I'm sorry about the other day. I kept you waiting
: for a long time.
:TOMBO: Uh-huh. And how about you; it must've been terrible
: in that rain. Say, can you stop in for a minute?
: There's something I want to show you. Hurry!
:TOMBO: It was a party to celebrate this. It's part of a
: self-propelled flying machine. Look. The wings and
: fuselage are being made somewhere else. We're going to
: fly it this summer vacation--I'm the pilot.
: Hey, do you want to go to the beach? Let's go see
: the dirigible that stopped for repairs.
:KIKI: Dirigible?
:TOMBO: Didn't you see it on television?
:KIKI: I was in bed...
:TOMBO: Well then, let's go!
:KIKI: Are we going on this?
:TOMBO: Of course. Training, training. I have to strengthen
: my legs. Okay, get on.
:KIKI: This is my first time on a bicycle.
:TOMBO: Really? That's something.
:TOMBO: Hold us back with your feet, 'til we build up some
: forward pressure...Here we go...Kick-off!
:KIKI: Shall I get off?
:TOMBO: No-o-o...
:(Barrelling down the street...)
:PEOPLE IN
:CAR: Go for it!...Looking good!
:TOMBO: When we come to the sharp curve, lean over to the side.
:KIKI: What?!
:TOMBO: We can't turn unless we put our weight into it.
: (leans over) Now!! That's good, that's the way!!
: That was great! Fantastic!
:KIKI: Is that what you call a 'dirigible'?
:TOMBO: Yeah. (sees oncoming car) Oh!!.....We're flying!!
:(On the grass...)
:KIKI: Tombo, are you all right?
:TOMBO: Un...How about you?
:KIKI: I'm okay...(laughs hysterically)
:TOMBO: Is my face that funny?
:KIKI: ...That's not it...Sorry, but I was so scared...
:TOMBO: (laughs) I was scared, too. Hey, did you use your
: magic a little while ago?
:KIKI: I don't know; I was in a trance. Oh, your bike is a
: wreck!
:TOMBO: Oh, no! The gang'll be mad at me. Kiki, keep an eye
: on it.
:KIKI: What's the matter?
:TOMBO: I've got cramps from pedaling! Wait!...
:(At the beach...)
:TOMBO: Isn't it great? Wouldn't it be
: wonderful to circle the globe in one of those...
: Say, what was it like the first time you flew?
:KIKI: I don't remember, because I was very young, but my
: mother said I wasn't a bit scared.
:TOMBO: I wish I had been born in a witch's family. You can
: fly with a broom, but I have to do it like this...
: (making pedaling motions)
:KIKI: But flying is part of my work. It's not all fun and
: games.
:TOMBO: Is that so? But it's work well-suited to your talents.
: That's great.
:KIKI: I'm glad I came here today, because I didn't feel
: confident. When I see the ocean, I feel like I'm going
: to get better.
:TOMBO: I'll bring you anytime you like. It'll be part of my
: training.
:KIKI: Tombo, you're nice, aren't you?
:TOMBO: Hey, you finally realized that?
:KIKI: Well, at first you seemed like a juvenile delinquent.
:TOMBO: That's what my mother always says, "This juvenile
: delinquent of a son...quit staring at the sky and start
: studying!!"
:(A car comes by...Tombo's friends)
:GIRL A: Great news!
:TOMBO: What is it?
:GIRL A: Something great! Hurry!
:TOMBO: Wait a minute!
:GIRL B: They'll let us see the inside of the dirigible.
: Want to go?
:TOMBO: Wow! Neat! I'm going, I'm going!
:GIRL B: Say, who's that girl?
:TOMBO: She's Kiki, the witch. (to Kiki) Kiki, won't you come
: with us? They'll show us the inside of the dirigible.
:KIKI: No, that's okay.
:TOMBO: Come on, let's go!
:GIRL C: I know her; she's the delivery girl.
:GIRL B: Really? She's already working?
:GIRL A: Ad-mi-ra-ble.
:TOMBO: Let's go. I'll introduce you to everyone.
:KIKI: I'm not going. Goodbye.
:TOMBO: What's wrong? Why are you angry?
:KIKI: I'm not angry; I have work to do. (leaves)
: Don't follow me.
:GIRLS: Tombo, we're going!
:(Kiki's bedroom...)
:KIKI: ......Jiji, something's wrong with me. After finally
: making a friend, I suddenly became spiteful. It seemed
: like the quiet and cheerful Kiki disappeared...(Jiji
: walks off)...? How cold hearted...
:(Dinnertime...)
:KIKI: Jiji, no matter how nice a friend you've met, I wish
: you'd be on time for dinner. I can never finish
: cleaning up.
:JIJI: Meow...
:KIKI: What's with you, talking like a cat?
:JIJI: Meow...
:KIKI: ...Jiji, what happened to your voice? Say 'Kiki',
: Jiji! Jiji! (Jiji walks off) I wonder what happened?
: It seems that I can't understand Jiji...Oh, no!
:KIKI: My magic has gotten weak.
:(The next morning...)
:OSONO: You can't fly? Because your magic has disappeared?
:KIKI: It's gotten very weak. I'll have to cancel my delivery
: service. But then, I'll help full-time at the shop.
: Please let me stay in that room.
:OSONO: Well, that's no problem. Your magic powers will
: return, won't they?
:KIKI: I don't know, though I can make another broom.
:BAKER: (sees the dirigible flying overhead) Hey!
:(Tombo is talking to Kiki on the phone...)
:TOMBO: Kiki? It's Tombo. Did you see me waving from the
: dirigible today? The captain let us go on a test
: flight. It was fantastic! Hello, hello? Are you
: listening, Kiki?
:KIKI: Don't call me anymore. (hangs up)
:TOMBO: Huh? What? I can't hear you. The captain wants to
: meet you. ...? Hello, Hello?!
:OSONO: What's the matter, Kiki? You're as white as a sheet.
:KIKI: I'm still in my training period. If my magic
: disappears, there's nothing else I know how to do.
:(Ursula drops by...)
:URSULA: Kiki! Hi! Hey, you didn't come to visit me at all,
: so I came myself.
:KIKI: I'm sorry.
:URSULA: Well, that's not true. I'm on a shopping trip, so I
: stopped in.
:KIKI: Come on in. I'm between chores.
:URSULA: Of course. That's what I planned to do.
:(In Kiki's room...)
:URSULA: This is a pretty nice room.
:KIKI: Have some if you like. I'll make some tea.
:URSULA: No tea for me. Could I have milk, if you have some?
:KIKI: Sure.
:URSULA: (to Jiji) Aha, it's true! Exactly like that stuffed
: cat! You're Jiji, aren't you? (to Kiki) How's the
: business? Are you on the right track? It's not going
: well?
:KIKI: I'm taking a little time off.
:URSULA: Oh?
:(Later...)
:URSULA: On the street, I thought you looked a little
: down-hearted. So that sort of thing happens to
: witches, too? Look, why don't you come and stay at
: my cabin?
:KIKI: What?
:URSULA: Excuse yourself with the shop-lady. One day won't
: hurt. Jiji, won't you come, too? (laughs) Rather
: be with her, huh? OK, decide. Let's go right away.
:(At the bus terminal...)
:URSULA: It's here!
:(On a hill...)
:URSULA: Made it.
:KIKI: How beautiful...!
:(Hitchhiking...)
:URSULA: What gives? Doesn't this beautiful girl catch
: anyone's eye?
:(In the truck...)
:URSULA: What?! You thought I was a boy??
:DRIVER: Well, you looked like one.
:URSULA: And you didn't notice these beautiful legs?
:(At the cabin...)
:KIKI: The crows...
:URSULA: We've become good friends. Ya-hoo, I'm home!
:KIKI: Good day. Please forgive me about last time.
:URSULA: Go on in. I'll get some water.
:(Inside the cabin...)
:URSULA: Well?
:KIKI: It's wonderful...
:URSULA: When I met you, I got the inspiration to paint this
: picture. But you know, I can't get this girl's face
: just right. I've been waiting for you to come.
:KIKI: Is this me?
:URSULA: Well, I guess. Sit there a minute. Will you be my
: model?
:KIKI: But I'm not that beautiful.
:URSULA: (laughs) You have a fine face. It's a lot nicer now
: than before. Now, sit there. That chair is okay.
: Raise your head a little, like you're looking off into
: the distance. That's it; hold it.
: Magic and painting are a lot alike. You know, a lot
: of times, I just can't paint.
:KIKI: Really? When that happens, what do you do?
:URSULA: No, no. Don't look over here.
:KIKI: Before, I could fly without giving it a thought.
: But now, I don't know how I did it.
:URSULA: When that happens, all one can do is struggle through
: it. I draw and draw, and keep drawing.
:KIKI: But then, if I can't fly...
:URSULA: Then I stop drawing. I take walks, look at the
: scenery, take naps, do nothing. Then after a while,
: all of a sudden I get the urge to draw again.
:KIKI: I wonder if that will happen?
:URSULA: It will. Hey, look to the side.
:(Bedtime...)
:URSULA: I decided to become an artist when I was about your
: age. I liked to draw so much, I almost hated to go
: to bed. And then one day, all of a sudden, I couldn't
: draw anything. Everything I drew, I didn't like.
:KIKI: Hm...
:URSULA: I realized that my art up to then was a copy of
: someone else, things I had seen somewhere. I decided
: I had to discover my own style.
:KIKI: Was it difficult?
:URSULA: It's still difficult. But then, the results...They
: seem to be a little better than before.
:URSULA: Then, witches don't go around casting spells?
:KIKI: No, they say it's just something passed on
: to offspring.
:URSULA: It's nice to be a witch, isn't it? I like the idea--
: to be a witch, to be an artist, to be a baker...It's an
: energy bestowed by the gods or someone, right? Though
: thanks to it, we do have to suffer at times...
:KIKI: I never even thought about my magic powers. I used
: to think this training was just an old-fashioned
: custom...I was so happy you came today. If I were
: alone, I'd just be running around in circles.
:URSULA: You know, to tell you the truth, I thought about
: destroying this painting many times.
:KIKI: Even though it's so beautiful?
:URSULA: When I met you today, and saw your distressed face,
: I thought, 'That's it', and I was inspired.
:KIKI: Tease!
:URSULA: (laughs) Now we're even.
:URSULA: OK, I'm going to turn it off.
:KIKI: Um. I'm sorry I'm taking your bed.
:URSULA: That's OK.
:KIKI: Is it all right if I come and visit some time?
:URSULA: Sure. I'm here during the summer. And I'll go and
: visit you sometime, too.
:KIKI: Right.
:(The next morning, at the bakery...)
:TV: The dirigible "Spirit of Freedom", that landed in this
: town due to the heavy rainstorm, has finished its
: repairs and will continue its journey to the South Pole.
: We plan to broadcast the departure live, from the
: seaside park.
:OSONO: (answering the phone) Yes, this is the Gutiokipanja
: bakery. Oh, Kiki. Yes. But you should take more
: time...Oh, yes. The lady you met the other day wants
: you to stop over again. What do you want to do?
: Shall I turn her down? I told her you were on
: vacation for awhile, but she insists...Really?
: Then stop in on your way back. Bye.
:(At the madam's house...)
:KIKI: Good day.
:BERTHA: Well, well, come in. We've been waiting eagerly.
:TV: It's almost 5 minutes until departure. The city's
: "Seahorse Band" is playing, and the crew is waving
: to the crowd below. The group of people holding the
: rope are eagerly awaiting the departure signal.
: The final check seems almost complete...
:KIKI: Here I am, Madam.
:MADAM: Welcome. Please excuse me for not getting up. The
: weather's nice but my legs are bothering me. Bertha,
: would you bring it?
:BERTHA: Yes, yes. Madam, has it taken off yet?
:MADAM: Not yet. Isn't it funny? She's crazy about
: dirigibles.
:BERTHA: It's the adventure that I like.
:MADAM: Would you turn the sound down a bit? Kiki, would you
: open this box?
:KIKI: All right. Madam, this...
:MADAM: I'd like that delivered to a person named Kiki,
: because she did a big favor for me the other day. It's
: my way of saying "Thank you'. I'd also be happy if
: at the same time you would find out her birthday.
: Then I can bake another cake... Kiki...
:KIKI: I'm very sure that person will want to know Madam's
: birthday, too. It would be fun, thinking of a present.
:MADAM: That's true, isn't it.
:KIKI: (laughs)
:TV: It's a gust of wind. A gale...Oh!
:MADAM: What happened?
:BERTHA: It seems like there was an accident.
:TV: It's serious trouble! The rope has broken!! The
: dirigible is being blown away. Ah, it's coming towards
: our broadcast truck!
: Oh, no!!
:BERTHA: Ah, at the most important moment...what are they
: showing!?
:MADAM: These strong winds sometimes come up in the summer.
: It will come by here in a minute.
:BERTHA: Madam! The picture's back. It's upside down!!
:TV: We're here at the seaside park...Blown by a sudden gust
: of wind, the "Spirit of Freedom" is almost touching
: ground...
:BERTHA: When you come right down to it, it's just a balloon.
:TV: It's lost its balance, and the ship is now upside down.
: They're doing their best to anchor the last rope
: holding the dirigible. I wonder if they can hold the
: ship; it looks like it's ready to float away. Ahh,
: it's no good...
: The tremendous lift of the helium gas is pulling the
: dirigible higher and higher. The powerful force of
: the helium matched against several hundred people...
:KIKI: Tombo!! That boy's a friend of mine!
:TV: It's throwing off people one by one, and floating
: higher and higher. Ah, even a patrol car is being
: carried away like a toy. What's going to happen...?!
: A young boy is being carried away with a patrol car!
: This is terrible! Who would have thought something
: like this would happen?!
:KIKI: Tombo!
:MADAM: You say he's a friend of yours?
:KIKI: I have to go.
:MADAM: Be careful!
:BERTHA: How terrible!
:(The dirigible...)
:CAPTAIN: Hold on! Don't let go! (to crew) Release helium
: from the rear compartments! Hurry!!
:(On the street...)
:RADIO: The helium in the dirigible will not explode.
: Townspeople, don't panic and move about calmly.
:KIKI: How's Tombo?...Is the boy all right?!
:MAN IN CAR: I don't know, but they said the patrol car fell.
:FIRETRUCK: Move aside! Open up the street! Clear the way!
:STREET
:SWEEPER: Are you OK?
:KIKI: Mister, please lend me that broom!
:STREET
:SWEEPER: Huh?
:KIKI: Please! I promise to return it!
:STREET
:SWEEPER: Well, I guess...
:KIKI: Thank you!
:KIKI: Fly!!
:BYSTANDER: She's flying...!
:(In the air...)
:KIKI: Fly straight, or I'll throw you in the fire!
:ANNOUNCER: Nothing has happened to the boy yet, but the "Spirit of
: Freedom" is being blown by the wind and is approaching
: the city tower.
: If it continues, it'll crash into the tower...
:TOMBO: We're going to hit! More altitude!
:CAPTAIN: We don't have enough gas! Before we crash, jump into
: the tower!
:TOMBO: I'll try!
:CARETAKER: Hey! Come over here!
:TOMBO: Mister! Get away!
:CARETAKER: Grab this!
:(Kiki, above the town...)
:KIKI: Fly faster! Hey!!
:ANNOUNCER: Listen to that! It's the tremendous noise of the gas
: escaping. We can't see from here what happened to the
: young lad.
: It's going to fall! The gas is escaping! The
: dirigible is going to fall!! It's caught! It stopped!
: It's been stopped! Look, the lad is still there! It's
: a miracle! The lad is still hanging there! But then,
: how are they going to save him? If they don't do
: something, that brave lad...
:(The town square...)
:ANNOUNCER: What, what was that?! A bird...No, it's a young girl!
: A young girl is flying through the air!! It's a witch!
: It's not a broom! It's a witch riding on a push broom!!
:(The madam's house...)
:MADAM: It's Kiki!
:BERTHA: Go!
:(The bakery...)
:OSONO: That child, she's flying!
:(The house on the cape...)
:KETTO: Go get him!!
:KIKI: TOMBO!!
:TOMBO: KIKI!!
:KIKI: (to the broom) Listen, you're a good boy, so do as I
: tell you!
:CAPTAIN: Keep trying! Just a bit more!!
:KIKI: TOMBO!!
:TOMBO: KIKI!!
:ANNOUNCER: You can do it! Just a bit more!
:CROWD: Go get him! Go get him! Go get him!!
:CAPTAIN: You can do it!
:ANNOUNCER: She caught him!! She caught him in mid-air!!
: They've just touched down! It's an emotional scene!
: It looks like the crew of the dirigible is safe too!
:STREET-
:SWEEPER: I lent her that push-broom, you know!
:(Madam's house...)
:MADAM: (laughs) Ahh!...Stop it, Bertha!
:BERTHA: She did it, she did it!!...(laughs)
:(At the bakery...)
:OSONO: Good girl, Kiki! Good for you!
: Dear!! Call the doctor! I think it's time!
:BAKER: Oi!!...
:(EPILOGUE: At Kiki's home village:)
:OKINO: Mother!! It's a letter from Kiki!
:OKINO: (reading letter) Father, Mother, how are you? Jiji
: and I are both very well. (Kiki's voice:) My work's on
: the right track and I'm confident. It's been hard
: sometimes, but I love this town.
