- “Really, these wizards! You'd think no one had ever had a cold before! Well, what is it?" she asked, hobbling through the bedroom door onto the filthy carpet.
"I'm dying of boredom," Howl said pathetically. "Or maybe just dying.” (He sounds like Will Herondale there!)

- “Go to bed, you fool," Calcifer said sleepily. "You're drunk."
"Who, me?" said Howl. "I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold sober."

- “Typical! I break my neck trying to get here, and I find you peacefully tidying up!”

- “I'm going up to my room now, where I may die." said Howl

- “By now it was clear that Howl was in a mood to produce green slime any second. Sophie hurriedly put her sewing away. "I'll make some hot buttered toast," she said. "Is that all you can do in the face of tragedy??" Howl asked. "Make toast!”

- “I''m delirious. Spots are crawling before my eyes.'
'Those are spiders.”

- “Things are going round and round in my head--or maybe my head is going round and round in things.”

Sadie Forsythe Fabulous! Sophie is just such a great character. Though I didn't think the 2nd two books as good as the first.

talltyrion | 708 comments Brilliance, people. All forms of Howl's Moving Castle inspire enough raw brilliance to power a small Midwestern city.

[Howl comes running out of the bathroom, screaming. His hair is now orange]
Howl: Sophie! You, you sabotaged me! Look! Look at what you've done to my hair! Look!
Old Sophie: What a pretty color.
Howl: It's hideous! You completely ruined my magic potions in the bathroom!
Old Sophie: I just organized things, Howl. Nothing's ruined.
Howl: Wrong! Wrong! I specifically ordered you not to get carried away!
[tragically]
Howl: Now I'm repulsive.
[slumps into a chair]
Howl: I can't live like this.
[starts sobbing, head in hands]
Old Sophie: Come on, it's not that bad.
[Howl's hair changes color to purple, then black]
Old Sophie: You should look at it now, its shade is even better.
Howl: [inconsolable] I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.

talltyrion | 708 comments Well, it's here now, but you're welcome.


message 11: by talltyrion (new)

talltyrion | 708 comments That it is. As it was said on The New Normal: "She's terrorizing everyone like Christian Bale in heels." (For those of you who don't know, Howl is voiced by Christian Bale.)
