Quotes 

• Kiki : Without even thinking about it, I used to be able to fly. Now I'm trying to look inside myself and find out how I did it.

• Kiki : That painter who found the stuffed cat told me she wants to do a drawing with me in it.

  Jiji : Naked?

  Kiki : Jiji!

• Kiki : We fly with our spirit.

• Kiki : If I lose my magic, that means I've lost absolutely everything.

• Kiki : Jiji, I've decided not to leave this town. Maybe I can stay and find some other nice people who will like me and accept me for who I am.

• Jiji : [after losing the toy cat doll intended for Ket in a forest, Kiki decides to place Jiji inside the cage so that Kiki can retrieve the real item without further agitating the crows]  You gotta be kidding!

  Kiki : You can just pretend to be the doll until I find the real one.

  [camera points to Ket's house] 

  Jiji : Why don't YOU pretend to be stuffed and I'LL go get the stupid doll?

  Kiki : Don't worry. Hold still.

  Jiji : Can I breathe?

  Kiki : No. No breathing.

  Jiji : [winces] 

• Jiji : They're looking at us.

  Kiki : I know. Smile so we can make a good impression.

• Jiji : [a flock of squawking crows approach to Kiki and Jiji]  They're calling you an egg-stealer and you don't wanna know what else! If I were you I wouldn't go back down there, again.

  Kiki : We have to! Hold on!

• Jiji : [On her way to deliver a toy cat, geese warn Kiki about a gust of wind; both Kiki and Jiji are caught in it and accidentally lose the cage in the forest after unintentionally agitating a crow]  That was your fault. The geese were kind enough to warn us of that wind, but would you listen?

  Kiki : Oh be quiet!

• Kiki : We better rest here until it's dry.

  Jiji : Won't we get in trouble?

  Kiki : Not if nobody's finds us. I'm soaked through, down to the bone.

  Jiji : Hello?

  Kiki : [Kiki takes off her wet dress from the rain, seeing her with her white undershirt and white panties as she puts her dress beside her. Then gathers a pile of hay to cover herself]  This smells great.

• Kiki : But I'm not going just for a good time. In order to be a good witch I have to train a year away from home!

• Kiki : [after Kiki's feet are licked by cows]  I think I hear cows?

  Jiji : [disgusted]  I think I smell cows?

  Kiki : [looks down at the cows through the hay]  Oops sorry, we didn't mean to fall asleep in your breakfast

• Kiki : Jiji you got to come look at the ocean, it's beautiful!

  Jiji : Big deal, just a big puddle of water

  Kiki : Look up ahead!

  Jiji : Mmmhmm, and this would be interesting because?

  Kiki : It's a city floating on waves, isn't it wonderful?

  Jiji : It's alright, I guess.

• Kiki : Jiji climb up and turn on the radio, I don't think I can handle it, can you do it?

  Jiji : [climbs over to it at the end of the broom]  Oh great, now I'm suddenly the flight attendant!

• Kiki : [trying to think of a way to get back the stuffed cat without getting attacked by crows]  Maybe we'd better rethink our plan

  Jiji : Frankly I think this is a major insult, crows used to serve witches and do what you told them

  Kiki : Hey that was a long time ago, okay

  Jiji : How about we go in after dark? Go in, get it, and get out.

• Kiki : [as they're flying around the city]  Look how many people there are

  Jiji : Too many if you ask me

• Jiji : [after Kiki has bought some groceries and other items]  Any money left Kiki?

  Kiki : Not much, looks like all we can afford to eat now is pancakes

  Jiji : I hope I can keep my trim waist, I wouldn't want that girl cat next door to think I'm turning into...

  [Kiki stops to look at some shoes in a department store window] 

  Jiji : Kiki? Kiki?

  Kiki : [disappointed]  They're so expensive, look Jiji aren't they beautiful?

• Jiji : [spots Kiki sleeping on the counter]  Hey, message for sleepyhead, wake up you're supposed to be minding the store!

  Kiki : I am, but today this place is boring.

  Jiji : But it always gets busy about this time?

  Kiki : I know that, that's not what I mean, I mean my customers, Jiji if nobody comes in I'm going to have to eat pancakes forever and be fat, fat, fat! Now what am I supposed to do about that?

  Jiji : Well I like pancakes, provided they're not burned

  Kiki : [annoyed]  Look furball when you get fat and round as a pancake, you see if I care
