Castle in the Sky Quotes

[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.

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: Will you shut up?
[to Pazu and Sheeta]
Dola: Ah, what can I tell ya? They

just really like dessert.

[after Dola decides to let Pazu and Sheeta become pirates]
Louis: [overjoyed] YES! No more swabbin' the decks! Hooray!
Henri: I won't have to wash the dishes!
Charles: I've peeled my last potato! YEE-HAW!
Louis: WHOOPIE!
Henri: WHEE!
[they all fly around and start

celebrating]

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?

[soldiers observe the blast from the observatory]
Col. Muska: The fire of Heaven that destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah in the Old Testament. The Ramanayah referred to it as "Indra's Arrow." The entire world will once again kneel before the power of Laputa.
General: I can only say, "Well done, Muska. You're a credit to our country." As such, you deserve

this reward!
[shoots at hologram, to no avail]
General: Huh?
[his gun runs out]
Col. Muska: [menacingly] I have really had enough of your incredible stupidity.
Sheeta: [to the soldiers] Run, everyone!
Col. Muska: [knocking Sheeta aside] You little brat!
[glares with fiendish glee as

he raises the crystal over Black Stone]
Col. Muska: Goodbye! Enjoy the ride!
[Observatory floor opens; General and his soldiers fall to their deaths; Muska laughs maniacally]

[Louie and Pazu are in Tiger Moth's engine room]
Louis: Hey, Pop! I've finally found ya an assistant!
Papa: [disgruntled] Stop yelling at me! I can hear you. Believe me, sometimes I wish I couldn't.
Papa: [to Pazu]
Papa: Come on, assistant! Let's see what you can do!
Louis:

[whispering in Pazu's ear] Uh, hurry up. He is even tougher than my mother.
Papa: I need someone who's *mechanically* minded, not some half-baked, swashbuckling Casanova wannabe!

[in the galley; Sheeta is cooking when Louis happens by, standing idly around her]
Louis: Ahem.
Sheeta: Uh, yes? What is it?
Louis: [speechless] Uhm...
Sheeta: Yes?
Louis: [blurts out] I-I-I finished my work for the moment, and I've come to offer you my help.

Sheeta: Well, that's kind of you. Will you hand me those plates over there?
Louis: With pleasure, my little ang...
[scowls when he notices one of his brothers peeling a potato]
Louis: What are YOU doing here?
Pirate: Helping.
Louis: I thought you said you had a stomachache!

Charles: [throwing open the door with a rose in hand] I'm in love with you!
Louis: YOU?
Charles: [sheepishly] Hello.
[later, when all the pirates are helping Sheeta in the galley]
Henri: [entering the room casually] Hi, is there anything I can do?

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!
