Young Sophie Quotes in Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Howl: I feel terrible, like there's a weight on my chest.

Young Sophie: A heart's a heavy burden.

Young Sophie: Lets run! Don't fight them, Howl!

Howl: Sorry, I've had enough of running away, Sophie. Now I've got something I want to protect. It's you.

Howl: Wow, Sophie, your hair looks just like starlight. It's beautiful.

Young Sophie: You think so? So do I!

[hugs Howl]

Young Sophie: So you are going away. Please, Howl. I know I can be of help to you, even though I'm not pretty and all I'm good at is cleaning.

Howl: Sophie! Sophie! You're beautiful!

Old Sophie: Well, the nice thing about being old is you've got nothing much to lose.

Young Sophie: They say that the best blaze burns brightest, when circumstances are at their worst.

Calcifer: Yeah, but no-one really believes that. Come on, let's be honest.

Young Sophie: It's... you're scaring me. I have this weird feeling you're going to leave. Howl, tell me what's going on! Please. I don't care if you're a monster.

Howl: I'm just setting things up so all of you can live a comfortable life, Sophie.

Howl: You didn't have to come back, Calcifer.

Calcifer: Yeah, I kinda missed you guys, and it looks like it's gonna rain.

Young Sophie: I missed you too, Calcifer.

Young Sophie: It's all so familiar yet I know I've never been here before. I feel so at home.

Young Sophie: Calcifer.

Calcifer: Sophie, I'm so tired.

Young Sophie: If I give Howl back his heart, what will happen to you?

Calcifer: I'll be okay if you do it, I think. I mean, you dumped water on me and Howl and we both survived.

Young Sophie: I'd better try then.

Young Sophie: I know where I am! I'm in Howl's childhood!

Howl: [Howl catches one of the falling stars, talks to it, then puts it in his mouth and swallows. He bends over, as if in pain, and then draws Calcifer out of his chest]

Young Sophie: Howl! Calcier! I know how to help you now! Find me in the future!

[Sophie removes Calcifer from the hearth]

Calcifer: No, No, No! Don't do this! Help! Help! Crazy lady with the shovel! If you kick me out that door, the castle could collapse!

Young Sophie: Good!

Letti: Wow! He must have been a wizard then.

Young Sophie: But he was so kind to me. He rescued me, Letti.

Letti: Of course he did, he was trying to steal your heart. You were so lucky Sophie, if that wizard were Howl, he would have eaten it.

Young Sophie: No he wouldn't, Howl only does that to beautiful girls.

Letti: What's going on? Someone just told me you floated down into our balcony!

Young Sophie: So that did happen, it wasn't a dream.

Young Sophie: His pole snapped.

[to the scarecrow]

Young Sophie: We'll get you a new one, okay? You saved us, Turnip.

[kisses him]

Young Sophie: [encounters a wounded Howl in his giant bird form sitting in the junkyard] Howl!

[uncovers his feathers to find his human face underneath dripping with blood]

Young Sophie: I'm sorry did I come too late?, I didn't mean to make you wait this long

[kisses him]

Young Sophie: I need you to take me to Calcifer if you can

[Howl gets up and flies off with her and the Queen's dog]

Young Sophie: [Approaches The Witch Of The Waste while she tries to hide Howl's heart from her] Howl needs that back now

Witch of the Waste: Don't look at me, I don't have it, I don't know what you're talking about

Young Sophie: [hugs her] Please give it back

Witch of the Waste: You really want it that badly?

Young Sophie: [on the verge of crying] Yes

Witch of the Waste: Alright then, you'd better take good care of it

Young Sophie: Okay

Witch of the Waste: [hands her Howl's heart] Here dear

Young Sophie: Thank you you have a big heart!

[kisses her]

Young Sophie: Make us disappear!
