Pazu Quotes in Castle in the Sky (1986)

[when Pazu and Sheeta are preparing to launch in the kite]

Dola: Are you up there, Sheeta, my dear?

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.

Pazu: No, Sheeta!

Sheeta: Be quiet!

[to Dola]

Sheeta: And Pazu agrees with me!

[Dola laughs hysterically]

Col. Muska: How appropriate that we've ended up in the throne room.

[forcefully]

Col. Muska: Now get over here!

Sheeta: This is no longer a throne room. This is a tomb for the both of us. You see, a king without compassion does not deserve a kingdom. You will *never* possess the crystal! You and I will die here, together. Now I understand why the people of Laputa vanished. This is a song from my home in the valley of Gondoa that explains everything. It says, "Take root in the ground, live in harmony with the wind, plant your seeds in the winter, and rejoice with the birds in the coming of spring." No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.

Col. Muska: [Muska shoots off Sheeta's pigtail] Laputa will live. I will return it to life! Laputa's power is the dream of all mankind!

[he shoots off her other pigtail]

Col. Muska: Your ears are next... unless you get on your knees and obey me!

[menacingly]

Col. Muska: I command you, GIVE ME THAT STONE!

Pazu: Stop right there, Muska!

[appears with a cannon in hand]

Pazu: I've hidden the stone. If you do anything to harm Sheeta, you'll never get it back.

Sheeta: No, Pazu, listen! Run away before he kills you as well as me!

Col. Muska: Look who's here. Why don't you give me the stone, and the girl will live. Otherwise, I'll kill her!

[mockingly]

Col. Muska: Are you planning on fighting me? Go ahead, use that cannon you can hardly lift!

Pazu: You can have the stone if you let me talk to Sheeta.

Sheeta: [with desperate pathos] No, Pazu! Get out of here, and THROW THE CRYSTAL AWAY!

Col. Muska: I'll give you one minute, starting now.

Col. Muska: [after giving Pazu a moment to speak with Sheeta] Time's up. What is your answer?

Pazu: [whispers to Sheeta] Are you ready?

[drops Dola's grenade launcher as he and Sheeta face Muska calmly]

Pazu, Sheeta: Baluse.

Pazu: A girl just fell from the sky, boss!

Sheeta: [hugging her] Dola!

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?

[on the Tiger Moth, Louie is escorting Pazu to the Tiger Moth's engine room]

Louis: Work, work, work. Busy, busy, busy, busy. Left, right, left, right. You're not here to have fun.

[inside the engine room; we see the gears turning]

Louis: As you can see, this room is loaded with all sorts of gears and gizmos!

Pazu: [fascinated] Wow, this engine room is amazing!

Louis: [dumbfounded] Is *that* what it's called?

Louis: [just as Pazu and Sheeta are about to head into town] Young man, query, have you seen a little girl around here?

Pazu: Uh... let me see now... Yeah! There're about a hundred little girls in this town. Which one?

Louis: [grumbling] Thanks... for *nothing*, kid!

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.

Sheeta: [after falling on Pazu from roof] Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right? Does it hurt much?

Pazu: Hey, if my head was any harder, you could use it as a cannonball.
