Sheeta: Yes.

Dola: Best ya come down right now!

Sheeta: But why?

Dola: Uh? 'Cause you're a GIRL! A FEMALE! That's MAN'S work!

Sheeta: But YOU'RE female, Captain! And I was born up in the mountains, I can do this.

Charles: Sheeta, can you make pudding? I *love* pudding!

Louis: I get to lick the spatula!

Henri: And I like chocolate cake with that... Oh, what's that frosting? It's kinda pink and swirly with...

Dola: Thank goodness you're alive!

Pazu: So are you. This is great!

Papa: No it's not! My poor little ship is gone forever! Boo hoo hoo hoo!

Dola: Stop with the cryin', ya big baby! I'll get you another ship!

Papa: [stops crying] Okay.

Dola: [to Sheeta, softhearted] Oh, poor little thing. There's nothin' worse than having your pigtails shot off!

Sheeta: [reacting to a sharp object beneath Dola's blouse] Or having your eye poked out. What have you got under there?

Dola: Oh, my fault!

[takes out shining gem]

Dola: You must've hurt yourself on these! Now, how'd they get inside my blouse?

Charles: [as pirates take out their hidden jewels] *All* good pirates listen to their Mom!

Louis: That is so true, huh?

Dola: All right, me hearty, once you've taken off, you'll have to use the phone to communica...

[a phone rings, Dola answers it]

Sheeta: You mean *this* phone?

Louis: She *is* good...

Dola: [as she watches a fight between her sons and the townspeople] Leave it to my little idiots to start a riot...

[as Sheeta falls from the airship in the opening chase scene]

Dola: Oh, no! There goes my crystal!

Dola: [escorting Sheeta toward the galley] Gotta start talkin' like a real pirate!

Sheeta: [nervously] I've been practicing! Um... Harrrrr, matey! Shiver me timbers!

Dola: [not impressed] Keep practicing...

[Dola comes thundering into Pazu's town on her automobile where her boys are brawling with the citizens]

Dola: Full speed ahead!

[to Louis and Henri in the distance]

Dola: Hey, boys!

Louis: Wha - ? Hey, it's Mom!

Louis, Henri: [Dola drives up to Louis and Henri] Hi, Mom!

Dola: [incensed] You chowderheads! Get your brother and hop on!

Louis: [dumbfounded] Huh? But Sheeta's hiding inside that house!

Dola: Lamebrain! They made an escape! Now step on it!

Louis: [jumping onto Dola's car] They ESCAPED?

Henri: [jumps on after Louis] Hey, I wanna come!

Charles: [grabbing onto the back of Dola's car] Mommy!

Dola: There's nothing worse than having your pigtails shot off!

[the pirates flee from Dola after they all crash through the door to the galley on the Tiger Moth]

Dola: You blubber heads! I'm not runnin' a luxury cruise! Now get to work!

[after saving Sheeta from the robot, the Dola Gang are flying off. Sheeta is crying against Pazu's shoulder]

Louis: Sheeta, you okay?

Charles: If I did something wrong, I'd really like to apologize for it, Sheeta.

Dola: We *all* did something wrong, wasting our time on these two kids!

Papa: [playing chess with Dola] What's come over you, my dear? It's not like you to challenge a ship like Goliath. You know, the odds are against you.

Dola: I'm after treasure. That's all.

Papa: [Chuckling] I must admit, those kids are cute!

Dola: Whaddaya mean by that, ya old fool?

Papa: Nothing, but that little girl *does* remind me of you not so long ago!

Dola: [Irritated] Who asked ya?

Papa: Nobody. Oh, look! Checkmate!

Henri: [Pazu has just returned home; he is about to open the door when suddenly hands reach out to grab him] Well! Ahoy there, matey!

Pazu: Ahh! What's going on?

[he is thrown into his house; cut to Pazu struggling as Henri ties him up]

Henri: Stop wriggling, ya little worm!

Dola: [seated at the dinner table, noisily munching on a steak] Welcome home, sonny!

Pazu: [as Henri pulls a bound Pazu to the wall] Get out! Get out, or I'll throw you out! This is MY house!

Dola: [disdainfully] Oh, ya can't scare me! You can't even protect one small girl!

Pazu: Whaddaya mean?

Henri: [taking out the gold coins Muska gave Pazu] Hey, Mom! Can I keep this money?

Dola: Up and sold a little girl, did ya? I know your type!

Pazu: [protesting] You don't know what you're talking about!

Dola: They offered ya money, and ya took it, didn't you?

Pazu: I only left because Sheeta told me to!

[sighing]

Pazu: That's why.

Dola: [spits in disgust] So ya believed her and ya came back here, right? You're just a SCARED LITTLE BOY WHO RUNS AWAY!

[slams her fist on the table]

Pazu: Says you! You don't even have the guts to stand up to Muska and the army!

Dola: He who turns and runs away can steal the treasure ANOTHER DAY!

Charles: [underneath Dola's line] Mm-hm.

Louis: [dryly] That's so true.

Dola: Don't ya think it's kinda strange that the army has gotten into the kidnapping business?

[takes another big bite on her steak]

Dola: You really think they'll keep her alive? Don't ya see that they forced her to make a deal?

Pazu: [surprised] Huh?

Dola: [downs the rest of her steak] She *saved your life*! Get it?

Louis: [as Pazu hangs his head] Mommy, you amaze me. How do ya know these things?

Dola: Oh, well, ya can't be a sensitive woman like me without learnin' a few things. Sheeta and I are exactly alike: all warm and mushy and sensitive!

[belches]

Dola: Now, so when you boys get married, you go find a gal like her!

Louis: [dumbfounded] Huh? She's gonna end up... like Mama?

Charles: Good question.

Dola: You'll get yours! Don't just stand there, push this train over the cliff!

Dola: [as Laputa soars away] That tree's gettin' away with our treasure!
