I'm Pazu.
I live alone here.
When I'm done playing, I give them this.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Ha, ha, ha!
.CP
PAZU

Heh, I'm relieved.
.CP
PAZU

At any rate, you look human.
Until a little while ago, I was worried
you were an angel or something.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Thanks for saving me.
I'm Sheeta.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Sheeta -- that's a nice name.
I was surprised, the way you fell out of the sky.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
I see. . .
Why do you suppose I was saved. . .?
After all, I fell out of an airship. . .
.CP
PAZU

Don't you remember?

SHEETA
.IP
No. . .
.CP
PAZU

Hm. . .
.CP
PAZU

Say, can I borrow that for a minute?
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
This?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Yes.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
It's been in my family for generations. . .
.CP
PAZU

A pretty stone, isn't it. . .
Just a second. . .
Hm. Ha, ha, ha!
Watch!
.CP
SHEETA

Pazu!

PAZU

Looks like it wasn't this stone after all, eh. . .?
Wah!

SHEETA

Are you OK?

PAZU

Yes -- and you?
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Fine.
Does it hurt?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Yes.
My head hurts from Boss's fist.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Ha, ha, ha. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Oh, yeah -- the pot has boiled over.
Let's go in and eat!

PAZU

You can wash your face over there.
There are towels, too.

Thanks!

Laputa. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Sheeta!
Sheeta, ready yet. . .?
That's a photograph Father took from an airship.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
``Laputa'' is an island floating in the sky.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
An island that floats in the sky?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Yes.
And although it's said to be a legend. . .
My father saw it!
.CP
PAZU
.IP
It's the photograph he took then.
Although Swift wrote about Laputa in ``Gulliver's Travels'',
that was just a story.
Father drew this from his imagination!
.CP
PAZU
.IP
There's no one living there any more.
But supposedly there's a lot of treasure there.
But nobody believed it.
Father died in Sagi, working on it.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
But, my father's not a liar.
And one day I'll prove it!
I'll discover Laputa. . .
Hm?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
An automobile -- how rare!
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
They're pirates.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Eh?!
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
They're the ones who attacked the airship!

They're after you?

PAZU

Ah -- wait. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
It did that when you first came floating down, too.
The entrance looks so small. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
I hope nothing awful happens to your Boss, or the Engineer. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
It's OK.
Miners are tough.
Let's go.
Since long ago, the mountain's been riddled with mine shafts.
Here.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
I'm glad -- I'm awfully hungry.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
There's one apple and two sweets for later.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Wow. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Your bag is like magic.
It contains everything.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Gondoa . . .?
That's right in the heart of the northern mountains, isn't it?
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Yes. . .
Mother and Father died and left me the house and farm.
I managed alone, somehow. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
You were kidnapped by those men with ``Dark Glasses''?
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Yes. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
The same men we saw?. . .
Who could it be. . .
With such an army. . .
Both Dola and the Dark Glasses want to get the stone. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
I had no idea there was such a mysterious power in this stone.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
It's always been in my family since ancient times.
Mother gave it to me when she died,
telling me never to give it to strangers,
or even show it to them.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Hm.
So we're both orphans.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Forgive me, for getting you mixed up in my troubles, Pazu.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Don't worry.
When you fell from the sky, my heart was pounding.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
I knew it was the start of something wonderful.
.CP
POM
.IP
Imps . . .
It's imps. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Grandpa Pom!
It's OK.
He's a very nice man.
Grandpa Pom -- we're lost!
.CP
POM
.IP
At last. . .
Pazu looked just like an imp. . .
And a little girl imp, too, I see.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
We're being chased by pirates.
.CP
POM
.IP
Oh. . .?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
And by the army, too.
.CP
POM
.IP
Indeed. . .
Ho, ho. . .
Well, intrepid, aren't you. . .
.CP
POM
.IP
Well, help yourself.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Thanks.
Grandpa, do you always stay underground?
.CP
POM
.IP
Ho, ho, ho . . .
Impossible!
Since last night,
the stones have been making a mysterious commotion. . .
.CP
POM
.IP
I hope they quiet down soon.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
The rocks make noise . . . ?
.CP
POM
.IP
Ho, ho, ho. . .
The stones have small voices . . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Wow. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Amazing. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Pazu -- look up.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
But. . .
it was just rock. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
It's pretty.
.CP
POM
.IP
Now, let's have a look.
.CP
PAZU AND SHEETA
.IP
Wow!
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
It went out.
.CP
POM
.IP
There are Levistone veins inside the rocks here.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Levistone. . .?
.CP
POM
.IP
This happens when Levistone touches the air.
It fades to become just like a rock. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
It's glowing. . .
.CP
POM
.IP
I'm amazed!
That's a pure Levistone crystal. . .
I'm beginning to see now. . .
It's no wonder the stones are so restless. . .!
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
There's a wonderful power in this stone.
.CP
POM
.IP
Only the people of Laputa had the power to make such a thing.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
The people of Laputa. . .
.CP
POM
.IP
That was when it floated in the sky over Dekkai Island. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
There really was a Laputa, Sheeta!
It exists, after all.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Grandpa, where do you think the island is now?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Grandpa Pom?
.CP
POM
.IP
S -- sorry, but could you put away that stone?
It's too strong for me. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Y -- Yes!
.CP
PAZU
.IP
What's the matter, Grandpa?
.CP
POM
.IP
My Grandpa told me. . .
When the stones are noisy, it's because Laputa is over the mines.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
So. . .!
If we go up into the sky now, we can see Laputa!
Sheeta, Father wasn't lying!
.CP
POM
.IP
Little girl. . .
That is. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Yes?
.CP
POM
.IP
I tell others about those stones because that's how I make a living,
but the good luck the stones bring people
also seems to invite bad luck. . .
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Yes.
.CP
POM
.IP
There's more.
That stone was made by human hands.
Remember that. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
It's not like that!
That stone has saved Sheeta twice already, hasn't it!
.CP
PAZU
.IP
It's amazing!
Laputa is real.
.CP
LOUIE
.IP
They've gone.
Let's go back to the ship, Mama. . .
.CP
DOLA
.IP
Keep quiet.
We'll stay here for now.
.CP
CHARLES

I'm hungry. . .
.CP
PAZU

It's OK -- let's go.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Thanks, Grandpa.
.CP
POM
.IP
Be careful.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Amazing clouds.
Beyond the peaks of those clouds, where nothing can be seen,
the island is floating.. .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
I'll do it!
I'll see Laputa for sure!

SHEETA

Hm. . .?

SHEETA

There's something I still haven't told you. . .
.CP
SHEETA

There's an old, secret name in my family.
When I inherited this stone, I inherited that name as well. . .
My inherited name is Lusheeta. . .
Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa. . .

Gave you a lot of trouble, eh?

Open up!
Open up!

Sheeta. . .

GENERAL

Too slow!
If we lock up a little girl like that, she'll talk at once!
.CP
MUSKA

That's a bad habit of the government.
.CP
MUSKA

Hurry the matter, and both the girl and the investment will suffer,
Your Excellency.

GENERAL

Hmph!
If we'd mobilized the troops in the first place,
Dola wouldn't have stolen a march on us.

MUSKA

Your Excellency, the elementary code is deciphered.

GENERAL

What!?
.CP
MUSKA

This is work for my agents.
Your Excellency must only move the troops at the right time.

GENERAL

Muska!
I am the commander of the Laputa investigation.
Don't forget!

MUSKA

Of course.
And I take secret orders from the government, don't forget.

GENERAL

Shit!
Stupid NOVICE!

Did you sleep well?

SHEETA

Where's Pazu?!
I want to see Pazu!
.CP
MUSKA

Don't you like fashionable clothes?
Don't worry about him.
His head is harder than mine.
Look -- there's something I want you to see.
Go in.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
This. . .
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
It has terrible destructive power.
It's a robot soldier.
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
If this fellow hadn't come falling out of the sky,
nobody would have believed in Laputa. . .
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
This wasn't made anywhere on the Earth's surface.
It has power almost beyond imagining.
And this body -- metallic?
Ceramic?
Our scientists still don't know for sure.
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
Look at this. . .
Don't be afraid.
It's been inactive since we found it.
Here.
The same sign that was on the old fireplace in your home.
And on this necklace, eh. . .?
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
This stone won't work except in your hands.
It will protect you
until the day you want to return to Laputa.
Then it will show you the way.
.CP
SHEETA

But, I don't know anything!
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
If you want the stone, take it!
.CP
SHEETA

Leave us alone. . .
.CP
MUSKA

You think Laputa is kind of a ``Treasure Island'', don't you?
Laputa flies because of an impressive scientific power.
It once controlled the whole surface of the Earth
in an empire of fear!
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
If it's still roving the sky,
is it not a danger to peace?
I think you understand.
I'd like you to help me.
Laputa's location is in the Levistone.
You must know an incantation or something.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
I really don't know. . .
Let me see Pazu. . .
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
I don't like to be violent,
but that young man's fate is in your hands.
If you help us, I'll set him free,
Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
How do you know that . . .
.CP
MUSKA

``Ul'' means ``King'' in Laputan.
``Toelle'' is ``True''.
You are the rightful successor of the Laputan royal family --
Queen Lusheeta.

Pazu -- I was quite mistaken about you.
Please forgive me.
I didn't know that you were fighting to protect her from pirates.

Sheeta -- what. . .
.CP
SHEETA

Pazu -- I beg you.
Forget about Laputa.

What!?

The army will investigate Laputa in secret with Sheeta's help.
I understand how you feel,

But. . .

Forgive me for troubling you so many ways.
Thank you.

Goodbye.

This is small, but it's heartfelt.
Take it and go.

You're wrong!
I wouldn't do a thing like that!

DOLA

Then where did you get the money?

PAZU

Sheeta told me to take it!
So, I . . .

DOLA

So you took it and ran, eh?
And you still call yourself a man!?!
Eh??

PAZU

Don't act so superior!
Weren't you trying to get hold of Sheeta?!
.CP
DOLA

Of course.
Pirates try to get treasure, and where's the harm!
They're strange fellows.
Why do they keep kidnapping the girl?
.CP
DOLA

Do you think they'll let the girl live?
Idiot!
She was forced to settle with them to save you!

She saved your life.
True love; it just breaks my heart.

All of you -- if you marry, find a nice girl like her.

You mean like you, Mama?

If we don't hurry, we'll lose it!
Move your asses!
Let's go!

PAZU

Are you going to go kidnap Sheeta?
.CP
HENRI

The girl is nothing -- it's the Levistone!

But, the Levistone is useless by itself!
If Sheeta doesn't hold that stone, it doesn't work!

Auntie -- won't you take me with you?!
I want to save Sheeta.

DOLA

If you go, you'll have to take care of yourself.

When this is all over, surely she'll take you back to Gondoa . . .
I want to see it. . .
The old house where Sheeta was born, and the yaks. . .

SHEETA

Oh, Pazu. . .
.CP
PAZU

What's that!
Underneath the ship -- hey, there!
.CP
PAZU

It's the Goliath -- it's right below us!
.CP
DOLA
.IP
Hard to starboard!
.CP
GENERAL
.IP
Muska -- why aren't we chasing them?
They'll get away!
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
It's no good, in the clouds.
At any rate, they can't run far!
.CP
MUSKA
.IP
We're on course and everything's going smoothly.
.CP
DOLA
.IP
The course was more north.
Pazu -- there's no time -- listen up!
If we don't shake off the Goliath, we're finished!
You have good eyes; I want you to stay in the lookout.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
What should I do?
.CP
DOLA
.IP
That lookout post will turn into a kite.
There should be a handle inside.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Found it!
.CP
DOLA
.IP
Turn it clockwise to hook up.
Turn the upper handle to open the wings.
.CP
DOLA
.IP
When it's open, don't stretch the wire.
Remember, steer with your body!
.CP
DOLA

Is Sheeta up there?
.CP
SHEETA

Yes!

DOLA

You come back down!

SHEETA

Why?
.CP
DOLA

``WHY''??
You're a little girl!
.CP
SHEETA

Hey, Auntie, you're a girl, too!
Besides, I'm mountain-bred -- I have good eyes, too.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
(Please!) Pazu thinks so, too!
.CP
DOLA

If you go up, don't use the voice tube.
There's an internal telephone.

SHEETA

Is this the phone you were talking about, Auntie?
.CP
CHARLES
.IP
Wow. . .
.CP
PAZU
.IP
Yes -- we'll try.
Let us up!
.CP
DOLA

Go!
.CP
SHEETA

I can't see it. . .
.CP
PAZU

They've dived into the clouds.

DOLA

Be careful.
They may not be in front of us.

PAZU

Yes!

SHEETA

Yah!

Hang on tight!

DOLA

What's wrong!

PAZU

It's turbulence -- we're OK!
.CP
PAZU

Just a little stirred up!
Yes!
I'll continue the watch.
Scared?
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
Yes.
.CP
PAZU
.IP
I've gotten the hang of it now.
It's a little stormy.
Sheeta, get the string out of my bag.

SHEETA

Yes.

Tie us together with it.. .
.CP
SHEETA

Sure!

LOUIE

How long until sunrise?

One hour!

Dawn. . .

SHEETA

Pazu, it's strange, the sunrise is coming from the side. . .

PAZU

I see!
We must be going north, not east!
Bridge!

DOLA

Eh!?
Go north, you say!?
.CP
CHARLES

The compass is pointing north!

DOLA

The wind's changed.
We're off course!

SHEETA

Look -- there!
.CP
DOLA

What's the matter -- the Goliath?!
.CP
PAZU

The clouds.
They're huge. . .

DOLA

The clouds! ?

SHEETA

They're coming this way!
.CP
PAZU

It's a sky castle. . .

DOLA

THAT'S a low pressure center!
The ship won't stand the wind.
Full power!
Due north!

PAZU

It's coming closer!

DOLA

All right!
We're trying!

WAH!

DOLA

Get out of the clouds!

PAZU

Sheeta -- the ocean!
.CP
SHEETA

Eh??
.CP
DOLA
.IP
The Dragon's Nest!
.CP
PAZU
.IP
The Dragon's Nest!?
This. . .?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
The wind there is blowing in the wrong direction, just like Father said.
.CP
DOLA
.IP
It's a wall of wind!
.CP
CHARLES
.IP
Mama, we can't get out!
.CP
DOLA

We'll be sucked in.
The wind just won't quit!
.CP
PAZU

Bridge!
Laputa is in there!
.CP
DOLA

What!?
.CP
PAZU

Father saw Laputa in the Dragon's Nest!

DOLA

You're crazy!
If we go in, we'll be shaken to pieces!

Pazu -- there!

Ah!

At a damn busy time like this!

Let's go, Auntie!
It's the way Father took, and he came back!

ALL RIGHT!
Into the Dragon's Nest!

Ah!

Yeah, we did it!

Our ship is in danger, too.
We must retreat.

No!
Carry on.

MAN

Hunh?!

MUSKA

The light always indicates the center of the whirling clouds.
Laputa is inside the storm.
Steady as she goes.
There is certainly an entrance.

Hang on, Sheeta!

SHEETA

Yes!

Laputa . . .?

Yes.
Oh -- sorry!

Wait. . .
Still pretty tightly knotted.
My hands are shaking.. .

A knife will free us. . .

SHEETA

Wait!
Please, don't break that.
Without that, we can't go back.

Ah!

Wow!

But we must be inside the buildings. . .
Sheeta, the sky. . .

SHEETA

Yes. . .
.CP
PAZU

It looked like stone walls from the outside. . .
But if their science was so advanced, why. . .?

PAZU

It's a tomb, isn't it. . .

SHEETA

Forgotten writing. . .

PAZU

It's not the same robot as before. . .

Thank you. . .

Doesn't look lonely at all, does it. . .

It has friends. . .
Caring for even Hitaki nests, too.
It won't die. . .

This way!

The floor has crumbled.

The Tiger Moth made it.

Auntie and the others are probably OK.

PAZU

Sheeta -- over there!
.CP
SHEETA

Ah. . .
Everyone is caught!

They've tied them up.

Can't we rescue them?!

Let's go!

SHEETA

If they go to the upper gardens. . .
.CP
PAZU

Sheeta, we've got to get back the Levistone.
.CP
PAZU

Only that will protect this place from those thieves.
And why have the clouds cleared?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
If it hadn't been like this, they wouldn't have been able to land.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
The effect of my spell. . .?
.CP
PAZU
.IP
This must be what Muska said about ``the seal being broken.''
.CP
PAZU
.IP
This castle is awakened,
because the holder of the Levistone approached,
riding on the storm.
If we don't act, Muska will become King.
And after the plunder, terrible things will start to happen.
.CP
SHEETA
.IP
But how should I get the Levistone back . . . ?
The words . . .

The words?
Impossible. . .

Don't be maudlin.
You can build another ship.
Poor thing, I know, there's nothing worse than having your
pigtails shot off.

ORIGINAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:

``Okami'' means wife,
but as it sounded pretty silly to have the woman being addressed
as ``Wife'' all the time,
I treated it as her given name instead.

Thanks to JA/SFA,
where I picked up the handy word ``Levistone''.
Beats ``fly-rocks''!
