    Like this sentence, "When you face yourself bravely, you are a beautiful girl, and when you shrink back, you will become a dying old woman."

    I must admit that this is one of the love stories that touches me the most. No matter how many times I watch it, the scene of Hal and Sophie walking in the air on the beat of the music when they meet will make me cry as a fool. Really strong and gentle, as well as loyal and brave, are also very advanced.

    Witch of the Waste: [smoking a cigar] Only idiots believe what they read in the paper.

    Old Sophie: That's so strange, I can't get Calcifer going!

    [to the Witch of the Waste]

    Old Sophie: Do you have to keep smoking that? It smells terrible!

    Witch of the Waste: Don't deny an old witch her pleasures, young lady.

    Old Sophie: Markl, will you crack a window, please?

    Witch of the Waste: [continues smoking] I wouldn't open that window if I were you, dear. Calcifer's too weak right now to protect this place, Suliman's henchmen could get in.
