CHARACTERS:

People of the Valley of the Wind:

NAUSICAÄ: A young princess of the Valley of the Wind who is adept at reading the wind. She has strange empathy with the insects of the Fukai [LT=Spoiled Sea, Rotten Sea; ET=fungus forest, Toxic jungle, Wasteland], especially Ohmu.
JHIL (Jiru): The chieftain of the Valley of the Wind; Nausicaä's father.
MITO: Steward of the Castle [LT: Castle Uncle (a title)]; Nausicaä's adviser/watcher.
YUPA: Nausicaä's teacher. One of the most renowned swordsman in the region.
GRANDMOTHER: Eldest wise woman of the castle. [LT: Grand Elderwoman]
TETO: Nausicaä's small fox-squirrel.

People of Pejite:

ASBEL: Rastel's twin brother. Surviving rebel from Pejite.
RASTEL (Lastelle): Asbel's twin sister. She was captured by the Tolumnekians.

Tolumnekians:

KUSHANA: Imperial Princess of Torumekia. Fourth in line to the throne.
KUROTOWA: Kushana's Chief of Staff [ET: Advisor]; of common blood.

Insects of the Fukai:

OHMU: Guardians of the Fukai, lords of the insects. [Note: "Ohmu" is literally, "King (or Lord) Insect". In this script "Ohmu" is both singular and plural term]
YANMA: A long tapelike insect, it flies on multiple wings.

(A man walks into a ghost town overrun with fungus) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/NausicaA.gif (196k))
YUPA: Another village has died...
YUPA: Let's go... This place, too, will soon sink into the Fukai.

INSET: 1000 years after the collapse of a giant industrial civilization, rust and ceramic fragments covered the land. Over this wasteland, a deadly forest of fungi that released poisonous vapors (miasmas), which came to be called the "Fukai" (Spoiled Sea), spread and was threatening the very existence of the declining human race.
Title: Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)
(Nausicaä is flying over the wasteland on her glider, Mehve.)

(She lands at the edge of Fukai and enters the forest) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-006.jpg (29k)) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-007.jpg (33k))
NAUSICAÄ: A path of an Ohmu... It's still fresh...
(She follows the track)
NAUSICAÄ: A cast-off skin [ALT: shell; exuviae] of an Ohmu... How magnificent...! This is the first time I've ever seen a perfectly shed skin.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-008.jpg (30k))
(She taps the shell with her ceramic sword)
NAUSICAÄ: Good sound...
(She strikes the shell; the sword does not causes any significant cut)
NAUSICAÄ: The ceramic sword got chipped. The Valley people will be happy. They wouldn't have to worry about materials to make tools out of for quite some time.
NAUSICAÄ: An amazing eye... Maybe I can fly back with this one...
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-009.jpg (42k))
(She frees the eye covering)
NAUSICAÄ: Ah, got it! How light !
(Spores are falling in snow-like fashion)
NAUSICAÄ: The mushibayashi [a plant name] is spreading its afternoon spores. How beautiful... <even> though this place is a forest of death where, if not for this mask, my lungs would decay in five minutes. [pause]
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-010.jpg (33k))
NAUSICAÄ: ...!! Who is it?! [pause] What can it be? My heart is pounding.
(She hears blast of guns)
NAUSICAÄ: It's an insect gun! Someone is being attacked by the insects.
(She runs to find a better vantage point)
NAUSICAÄ: Oh! Sorry!
NAUSICAÄ: What a smoke of spores... Ohmu!! It must be the owner of that shed skin.
(Observing the path of the Ohmu, and hence the path of the human)
NAUSICAÄ: You mustn't go [LT: escape] that way! (She fires a signal flare)
NAUSICAÄ: Please, see the signal! He answered! He's coming this way!
(She takes to the air aboard Mehve, and soon finds a rider fleeing from the forest) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-011.jpg (35k))
NAUSICAÄ: That's...!
(A huge Ohmu crashes out from the forest in pursuit of the man)
NAUSICAÄ: What a splendid Ohmu... (to Yupa) To the windward side!
YUPA: Thanks! [LT: Sorry]
NAUSICAÄ: Ohmu! Go back to the forest. This side isn't your world. See? ["Ne?": expression used in soliciting an agreement] Be a good child. [pause] He's forgotten himself with anger. I must calm him.
(Nausicaä drops flare bombs) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-012.jpg (41k))
YUPA: The Ohmu has lost consciousness from the flare!
(Nausicaä circles the Ohmu, holding a strange noisemaker)
YUPA: An insect-whistle...
NAUSICAÄ: Ohmu, open your eyes... Let's go back to the forest. It's awake!
YUPA: The Ohmu is going back to the forest... With only flare bombs and a insect-whistle, she managed to calm the Ohmu...

(Hill top; Nausicaä lands and runs to Yupa)
NAUSICAÄ: Master Yupa!
YUPA: Nausicaä, you've grown! [LT: you've visually changed; I've mistook you for another]
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-013.jpg (34k))
NAUSICAÄ: It has been a year and a half! Father will be delighted.
YUPA: I must thank you. You've become a fine wind-user.
NAUSICAÄ: No, Father says not yet.
(Nausicaä notices something in Yupa's belt pouch)
YUPA: Oh, yes... I completely forgot about this fellow.
NAUSICAÄ: My! A fox-squirrel.
YUPA: This fellow was kidnapped by a bird-louse. I mistook him for a human baby and I ended up using my gun.
NAUSICAÄ: So that's why the Ohmu was so angry.
YUPA: It seems he didn't inhale the poison because he was unconscious. No, you shouldn't put out your hand like that. He's small, but still ferocious.
NAUSICAÄ: Come...
YUPA: Hey!
NAUSICAÄ: There's nothing to fear. There's nothing to fear.
(The fox-squirrel bites Nausicaä)
NAUSICAÄ: ...!! There's nothing to fear. See? ["Ne?"]
(After a while, fox-squirrel releases Nausicaä's finger)
NAUSICAÄ: You were only scared, weren't you? Master Yupa, won't you give him to me?
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime/Images/Nausicaa/Images/miyazaki-3.jpg (25k))
YUPA: Ah... I won't mind, but...
NAUSICAÄ: Waa! [expression indicating excitement] Thank you!
(She runs to the riding beasts)
NAUSICAÄ: Kai and Kui. Do you remember me?
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-014.jpg (39k))
YUPA: Such a mysterious power... [The word is "Fushigi" and encompasses nuances of words like mysterious, strange, wonderful, and mystical. Just plain "mysterious" does not explain the word "fushigi" well]
NAUSICAÄ: tired? You've ran a lot!
YUPA: Is everyone the same? [LT: There's no change in everyone?]
(Notices Nausicaä's mood change)
YUPA: What's the matter...?
NAUSICAÄ: It's Father! Father cannot fly any more...
YUPA: Jhil...? The forest's poison...?
NAUSICAÄ: Yes... It is the destiny of all who live near the Fukai, or so I'm told.
YUPA: I should have visited earlier.
NAUSICAÄ: No... It was really good of you to come... Teacher! Later, I want you to look at something. My secret room! Don't tell anyone lest they be frightened.
YUPA: Oho...
NAUSICAÄ: I'll go on ahead to tell <everyone> you are here. You hurry, aoo.
NAUSICAÄ: (Brandishing her find,) Master Yupa!! Would you please carry this for me? The air currents get disrupted so I can't fly well <with it>.
YUPA: My, she reads [ALT: understands] the wind well. Come, just a little further.

(Later, in the Valley of the Wind)
GOLL: Master Yupa!; OLD UNCLE Welcome!
YUPA: Is everyone well?
GOLL: Both water and wind are calm, without an incident.
CHILD: Master Yupa!
YUPA: Ah, is everyone well?
GUARD: Master Yupa.
VILLAGER: It's Master Yupa.
VILLAGER: We've been waiting for you, Master Yupa.
VILLAGER: Welcome back.
(Nausicaä is repairing a windmill blade)
MITO: Princess! He's arrived!
NAUSICAÄ: Just a second.
MITO: Master Yupa!!
YUPA: Uncle Mito! Working hard, I see.
MITO: Tell us some more of those foreign stories tonight!
NAUSICAÄ: Ok. Turn it.
MITO: It looks good.
NAUSICAÄ: Yes.
(On the ground, people are admiring the Ohmu's eye case)
GOLL: Oh, it's a really good one. We must set out first thing tomorrow to get it.
NAUSICAÄ: Okay, Toeto?
TOETO: Yes.
NAUSICAÄ: Master Yupa, this is Toeto's child that was born this year.
YUPA: Oh, let me see. She's a fine girl. Reminds me of Nausicaä when she was young.
TOETO: Would you please be this child's godfather?
OLD WOMAN: So that a good wind will always blow for her...
YUPA: I accept. I'll give her a good name.
TOETO: Thank you. May she grow as healthy as the Princess...
MITO: Hm! If we're talking about health, the Princess is famous for it. But it would be a problem if the child comes to imitate the Princess's Fukai playing as well.
NAUSICAÄ: But thanks to that <playing>, I found the shell of the Ohmu.
MITO: Well, put yourself in my shoes as the Steward. I can't sleep easily [ALT: peacefully] at night from worry.
GOLL: If we're talking about Ohmu's shells, we can't quite say that the Princess's Fukai playing is all for nothing.
YUPA: That's true. I was rescued, too, wasn't I?

(Jhil's room in the castle)
JHIL: Saved by this child...?
YUPA: This valley is good... Whenever I come here, my heart is consoled [ALT: soothed].
JHIL: How were your travels this time?
YUPA: It's terrible. In the South, two more countries have been swallowed by the Fukai. The Fukai is steadily expanding. But wherever I go, there's only hunger and warfare. Just ominous shadows. Why can't they live like this valley?
GRNDMOTHR: It's because here we are protected by the Lord Wind [ALT: blessed wind] that blows from the sea. The poisons from the forest cannot reach this valley.
JHIL: How about it, Yupa. Why don't you settle in this valley soon? I'm in this condition... Everyone would be happy...
GRNDMOTHR: That's impossible. Yupa is a man destined to continue his search.
YUPA: Destiny, you say...?
NAUSICAÄ: Grandmother, what do you mean by "search"?
GRNDMOTHR: My my... You didn't know, Nausicaä? There - It's that tapestry on the wall. I can't see it any more, but it's the lord on the left corner.
"That one, wearing a robe of blue, shall descend onto a golden field. To forge once again the lost bond with the land."
NAUSICAÄ: "And lead everyone, at last, to a land of blue purity..." Master Yupa, I thought that it was only an old legend [ALT: ancient lore]
YUPA: Grandmother! You vex me with your teasing.
GRNDMOTHR: Same thing, isn't it?
YUPA: I only want to solve the riddle of the Fukai... Are we, the human race, a species destined to be swallowed by the Fukai and be destroyed...? I want to see and judge for myself.

(In Nausicaä's room)
NAUSICAÄ: If only I could help Master Yupa...

(That night)
MITO: Princess... Princess!
NAUSICAÄ: What, Mito?
MITO: Goll says he smells something in the wind.
NAUSICAÄ: It's almost dawn <isn't it>... I'll be right there.

(Atop the castle)
NAUSICAÄ: Good work. ["Gokuro^sama" ET: Thanks for the toil]
GOLL: It's a good storm, but something's strange...
NAUSICAÄ: ...! There!! There, again! It's a plane.
MITO: Why would a plane be in a borderland like this...
YUPA: What's happening?
MITO: Master Yupa! It's a plane.
YUPA: A plane?!
NAUSICAÄ: It's coming!
MITO: It's big!
YUPA: It's a giant <sized> Torumekian ship!
NAUSICAÄ: The way it's flying is strange...! It's trying to make an emergency landing [ALT: forced landing]. Goll! Get me up!
MITO: Princess! That's absurd!
NAUSICAÄ: I'll guide them to the coast!
YUPA: They've turned around!
GOLL: Here goes.
(Teto jumps onto Nausicaä's shoulder just before the catapult launches Mehve into the air)
NAUSICAÄ: Teto...!
(A swarm of ground insects -caterpillar like- are attacking the plane and causing damages)
NAUSICAÄ: How could they? They <must have> landed in the Fukai and killed some insects. Raise your rudder!! You're going to crash!! Raise your rudder!! Your rudder...!!
(Explosion. On the castle roof)
YUPA: It fell...
MITO: Princess...!
GOLL: It's the seaside cliff!
MITO: Let's go!!
VOICE: Move it, let's go!! All who're able, hurry up!!

(At the crash site)
NAUSICAÄ: It's that girl! She's alive...!
RASTEL: Where...?
NAUSICAÄ: The Valley of the Wind... You mustn't speak!
RASTEL: I am Rastel of Pejite... The cargo... Please burn the cargo...!
NAUSICAÄ: The cargo?
RASTEL: Please ... Burn it...
NAUSICAÄ: The cargo. I understand. It's all right. Everything burned.
RASTEL: Good...
MITO: Princess!
MITO: This lady...! She's a princess of the royal house of Pejite...

(From the center of the tumult,)
MAN: An insect!! An Ushiyabu was alive!!
MAN: Damn! It's calling other insects!
MAN: It's hurt and can't fly.
MAN: Bring your guns here!
MAN: It's no use! If we shoot, it'll call more of its kind!
MAN: I'll kill it on the first shot.
MAN: You can't kill an Ushiyabu with a gun!
MAN: Then what?
NAUSICAÄ: Wait! Mito, <please> bring the Mehve.
MITO: Yes!
MAN: Princess!
(Nausicaä takes out her insect-whistle)
NAUSICAÄ: Go back to the forest... It's all right! You can fly. Yes, that's a good child...
MITO: Princess!
NAUSICAÄ: Thanks.
(She tosses the insect-whistle up into the air, and the Ushiyabu takes flight. Leading the insect, Nausicaä heads for the Fukai)
MITO: I'm glad... We don't know what would happen if we killed even one of them...
[The alternative, "if even one of them is killed", does not specifically imply humans as the killers. For this reason, the preceding sentence should be left as is, even though it is a bit awkward]

(In the wasteland, an Ohmu awaits)
NAUSICAÄ: Ohmu...

(In the air, war planes signal each other)
(In the Valley, the fields are being searched for spores)
BOY: Found it! Over here! Here it is. There were spores on that ship after all.
MAN: They haven't given off any poisons yet? (Torches spore) Just a little more.
BOY: Yup. If even one remains, it would be a disaster.
(At the smouldering remains of the crash)
MAN: What do you suppose this lump is...?
MAN: It didn't burn even in that fire.
MITO: Well, everybody, we'll return to the investigation of this thing later. Please go help burn the spores. Be extra careful. [pause] Really, what a troublesome thing they've managed to transport in <to this valley>.
YUPA: Mito, look here.
MITO: It's moving... It's as if it's alive. Master Yupa, this is...?
YUPA: In the midst of my travels, I heard of an ominous rumor... It said that a monster from the ancient world had been excavated from beneath the city of Pejite where it had been sleeping.
MITO: A monster from the ancient world?
YUPA: It's a God Soldier [LT: Giant God Soldier].
MITO: A God Soldier?! You mean, the ones that burned the world in the Seven Days of Fire...?! This thing ...!
YUPA: All God Soldiers should have become fossils. But this one managed to sleep underground for 1000 years.
MITO: It does seem to have a human form, now that you've told me.
YUPA: Torumekia is a large military state in the far West. And with these dead captives from Pejite... It bothers me...

(Near the forest of the Valley)
NAUSICAÄ: Please take care of the rest. [pause] What can it be...?
(Planes appear, scattering the people)
NAUSICAÄ It's a Torumekian ship. Everyone, to the castle!
(From the landed planes, armored soldiers is getting off)
NAUSICAÄ: Everyone! To the castle!! Everyone, go to the castle!! [LT: gather at the castle; meet at the castle] To the castle!!
(Seeing a plane dispatching troops into the castle,)
NAUSICAÄ: Father!!

(In the castle. Jhil takes out a sword)
JHIL: Hide, Grandmother.
GRNDMOTHR: I'll stay here.
(As she approaches the castle, Nausicaä hears gun shots)
WOMAN: Princess!?
(Bursting into Jhil's apartment, Nausicaä finds Torumekian soldiers standing over her father's body)
NAUSICAÄ: How dare you...!! [LT: self; ET: you]
(She attacks. As she finishes off the guards, new armored soldiers arrive. She evades an attack and leaps back. Finding her father's sword, she charges)
GRNDMOTHR: Nausicaä!
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-015.jpg (59k))
(Yupa leaps between Nausicaä and the invading soldiers)
YUPA: You! Don't move!! If you do, this knife shaved from the very shell of an Ohmu will pierce your ceramic armor.
SOLDIER: (To Kushana) That man... is Yupa.
YUPA: I ask the Torumekian army. Last night, the people of this valley worked furiously to save your ship.
YUPA: Even now, we just finished carefully burying the dead. Though is small, is this the courtesy of Torumekia towards such a country?! If you're starting a war, there must be a reason. You should first send a messenger and state <whatever> your objections <are>. (Quietly, to Nausicaä) Nausicaä... Calm down, Nausicaä. If we fight now, everyone in the valley will be murdered. We must remain alive and wait for our chance.
KUROTOWA: Oof... That wench...!
KUSHANA: Stop it, Kurotowa.
KUROTOWA: But...! Oh hell... What a fiend! [ALT: What a bitch] She killed off *everyone*!
KUSHANA: Your admonition pains my ears... Aren't you Yupa Miralda, the best swordsman in the borderlands? Our objective is not massacre. I want to talk. <I ask that you> sheathe your sword.

(Outside the castle, the people have been gathered under guard.) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-016.jpg (46k)) (Kushana is standing on a tank facing of them. Nausicaä walks up to the tank)
MITO: It's the Princess!
MAN: Princess!
KUROTOWA: Listen! It is the words of Her Highness Kushana, Commander of the borderland expeditionary force of the Torumekian Empire!
KUSHANA: We have come to unite the borderland countries to construct a land without worry. [LT: Big and leisurely way]. You are on the verge of being destroyed by the Fukai. Obey us, and cooperate in our undertaking! Burn down the Fukai and once again revive this land!
UNCLE: Burn down the Fukai?
UNCLE: Is that possible?
KUSHANA: We have revived the miraculous skills and powers that have once made the human race the masters of this planet. To those who obey me, I promise a livelihood without fear of the forest poisons or the insects!
GRNDMOTHR: Wait!
(Grandmother walks up to the tank and faces Kushana)
GRNDMOTHR: You must not raise a hand against the Fukai!
KUROTOWA: Who is this old crone? Hey! Take her away!
KUSHANA: Let her speak...
GRNDMOTHR: Thousand years since the birth of the Fukai... Humans have frequently attempted to burn down the Fukai. But every time, a herd of Ohmu, maddened with anger, converged to become a giant wave that covered the land and came as a flood [ALT: maddened with anger, came at an onslaught as one wave]
Destroying countries, swallowing up cities... The Ohmu continued to run until their own lives expired from starvation. In due time, using Ohmu's corpses as the seed-beds, the spores dropped their roots to the earth and vast lands were swallowed by the Fukai... You must not touch the Fukai...
KUROTOWA: Shut up! I won't allow such raving!
GRNDMOTHR: Well, what will you do? Kill me?
KUROTOWA: Y-You <bitch>! ["Kisama": "You", but a nastier term; curse-like]
GRNDMOTHR: Go ahead, kill me! I'm a blind old woman; it's simple! Like <the way> you killed Jhil...
MITO: Lord Jhil?!
MAN: Lord Jhil was ill!
VILLAGERS: Murderers! Murderers!!
KUROTOWA: Quiet them! Don't be lenient with those who defy.
NAUSICAÄ: Everyone, wait! Please listen to me...! I don't want to create any more casualties...
(Outside the castle, the people have been gathered under guard.) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-017.jpg (54k))
MITO: Princess...
NAUSICAÄ: Please understand as well, Grandmother. Let's obey these people.

(The God Soldier is being hauled by the village people to the castle)
KUSHANA: It's a pretty nice valley, don't you think...?
KUROTOWA: I'm opposed to this. Our orders are to transport the God Soldier back to our native country as soon as possible.
KUSHANA: The orders cannot be carried out. Even the giant <sized> ship could not bear the weight of that thing and crashed.
KUROTOWA: But... You can't be serious to establish a state [ALT: nation] here...
KUSHANA: And what if I am? Are you saying we should make that monster the play-thing of those fools back home?
KUROTOWA: Well, I could understand that, but... (Snaps to attention,) I am no more than a simple soldier. I would be overstepping my privilege in such a decision. [ALT: Such decision would be beyond my station]
KUSHANA: Hmph! Fox...! [LT: Badger] I will return to Pejite. In my absence, pour all efforts into reviving the God Soldier.
KUROTOWA: Yes, ma'am!
KUSHANA: Is this gun ship usable?
KUROTOWA: Yes, it's a find.

(In Kushana's makeshift headquarters)
KUSHANA: Don't mistake me. I am not consulting you.
MITO: But...! Taking the Princess to Pejite...
GOLL: Five hostages, the gunship, and food, you say...
KUSHANA: I'll leave the selection <of hostages> up to you. Complete the preparation by departure, tomorrow morning. [ALT: the preparation in time to depart tomorrow morning]

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-019.jpg (12k))
(In the hanger)
YUPA: Thanks for being the hostages.
MITO: Never mind us... Please look. They're intending to take everything.
YUPA: I will leave this place for the time being. I'll return secretly and wait for an opportunity. We must stop the revival of that monster at all costs.
MITO: Yes.

(Yupa knocks on Nausicaä's door)
YUPA: Nausicaä.
(Hearing no reply, he enters)
YUPA: Teto, where is your mistress?
(Yupa follows Teto to a room under the castle) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-018.jpg (34k))
YUPA: Nausicaä, what is the meaning of this? These are plants from the Fukai!
NAUSICAÄ: I gathered the spores and raised them. It's all right. They're not giving off any vapor [ALT: miasma].
YUPA: Not giving off poison...!? Although the air in here is certainly pure... Why?! Even when this venomous Hisokusari plant has flowered?!
NAUSICAÄ: The water used here is brought up from 500 meters underground by the castle's giant windmill. I gathered the sand from the bottom of the same well. I've found out that the Fukai's plants don't give off poison with clean water and soil... It's the soil that's polluted! Even the soil of this valley is polluted. Why!? Who could have done this to the world?
YUPA: You found that out all by yourself?
NAUSICAÄ: Yes... <Because> I wanted to cure Father's and everyone's illness. But... I will close this place soon. I've stopped the water a little while ago, so everything should soon wither away.
(Nausicaä goes to Yupa crying)
YUPA: Nausicaä...!
NAUSICAÄ: I... I'm afraid of myself... I don't know what I will do in anger! I don't want to kill anyone else...!

(The next day, just before takeoff) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-020.jpg (51k))
GIRL: Princess [ALT: Sister-Princess]! Princess! We've gathered these Chico nuts... We give them to you, Princess!
NAUSICAÄ: Everyone...! So many... It must have been hard... Thank you... I'll eat them with care.
GIRL: Poor Princess!
GUARD: Hurry and get on board! We're departing!!
NAUSICAÄ: Come... Everyone. Don't cry any more... It's OK. I'll come right back.
GIRL: Really?
NAUSICAÄ: Hey, have I ever told you a lie?
GIRL: No...
NAUSICAÄ: Ne?
GIRL: Really?
NAUSICAÄ: Yes. Come, it will be dangerous <to stand around here>.
GIRLS: Promise!! [LT: For sure. They are essentially asking for reassurance]
(The planes are accumulating acceleration)

(Airborne; aboard the Valley's towed barge)
GOLL: Is Pejite any closer? [LT: Pejite not yet?]
UNCLE: My hip [LT: area covering waist and hip] is hurting...
UNCLE: My, my, the Princess has really chosen those that won't be missed.
GOLL: Hey... Don't you think this is strange? Why are we flying in a swarm like this?
UNCLE: It's as if they fear an attack.
(Aboard a large transport ship) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-024.jpg (42k))
NAUSICAÄ: Beneath the clouds is a terrible whirlpool of vapors.
NAUSICAÄ: ...?
GUARD: Don't move.
(A foreign gunship suddenly appears from the clouds above)
NAUSICAÄ: Gunship!!
VOICE: Enemy attack! Ship number 2, destroyed!!
(On the barge)
UNCLE: Like I said!
UNCLE: How frightening!!
(The gunship is coming around for another attack)
VOICE: Perimeter defense! It's a Pejite gunship!
NAUSICAÄ: Pejite!?
VOICE: Damn - ship number 3, destroyed as well! What is the corvette doing?!
RADIO: (from ship number 3) "We can't steer! We can't steer!"
MITO: What a fragile ship. (Explosion)
VOICE: The rear-guard was caught up in it!
(The barge's tow-line snaps and the barge drifts away)
NAUSICAÄ: The barge's wire...! (to Teto) Hurry!

MITO: It's no use, this one'll fall, too! Princess!
(Nausicaä climbs open to the transport's roof)
NAUSICAÄ: <Please> stop! Don't kill any more!!
NAUSICAÄ: Stop!!
(The pilot hesitates and the gunship swerves. It is hit and goes down)
MITO: Princess!
(The transport is on fire; Nausicaä and Mito make for the gunship in the cargo hold)
NAUSICAÄ: Hurry, Mito!!
MITO: Ouch-ouch-ouch. Princess! It's useless!
NAUSICAÄ: We might be able to fly!
MITO: What?!
NAUSICAÄ: Mito! Hurry!!
MITO: Y-Yes!!

NAUSICAÄ: Engine, start! We'll blast the door with the gun!!
MITO: Yes!
(Nausicaä notices Kushana)
NAUSICAÄ: Come! Quickly!!
(Kushana hesitates, then jumps aboard the gunship)
NAUSICAÄ: Quickly, get inside! Mito, ready?!
MITO: Somehow!
NAUSICAÄ: Engine full at the same time as the blast <of the gun>!
MITO: Roger!
NAUSICAÄ: Ready! Shoot!
(The gunship successfully leaves the burning transport) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-023.jpg (38k))
NAUSICAÄ: Put on the masks! We'll descend below the clouds and rescue the barge!

(Beneath the cloud, above the Fukai)
NAUSICAÄ: <Still> warm... Please don't die, Teto!
MITO: What a world <down there>! I've never seen such dense a vapor [ALT: miasma] before!
NAUSICAÄ: Rear seat! Attention to the right-rear direction! It's near. It's still flying!
MITO: It's true! It really was there!!
UNCLE: It's the Princess!
GOLL: Princess!
NAUSICAÄ: Everyone! Hang on!! I'll extend the rope.
UNCLE: The hook is broken. Aerial retrieval is impossible!
UNCLE: I don't want to make an emergency landing [ALT: forced landing] and be eaten by the bugs!!
UNCLE: I'll just die [ALT: I'll just kill myself] without any more ado!
MITO: Calm down!! Throw out the baggage!!
UNCLE: Fare thee well!
MITO: Do as I say!! Throw out the baggage!!
NAUSICAÄ: Rear seat! Cut the engine!!
MITO: W-What?!
NAUSICAÄ: The engine noise is distracting. Hurry!!
MITO: Y-Yes!
(Nausicaä stands up in the cockpit and removes her mask)
GOLL: P-Princess! W-What...
UNCLE: Princess, your mask!! You'll die! Put on your mask!!
NAUSICAÄ: Everybody! I'll save you for certain [ALT: sure]! Believe me and throw out the baggage!
UNCLE: We'll do anything! Please, hurry, put on your mask!
GOLL: The Princess is smiling.
UNCLE: We're going to be saved.
GOLL: Hurry! Throw out the baggage!
MITO: The bow is falling!!
NAUSICAÄ: Ignite the engine! We'll look for a place for emergency landing! A little <of the vapor [ALT: miasma]>... got in my lungs...

(The gunship and the trailer barge splash down onto a lake) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-026.jpg (38k))

NAUSICAÄ: Is everyone all right?
KUSHANA: Don't move! (She points her gun)

MITO: You...!! ["Kisama"]
KUSHANA: Thanks for your labor a while back.
GOLL: Princess! Why <did you save> such a one...?
KUSHANA: You're too naive. ["Amai" ET: sweet, easy, simple, trusting] Did you think I would get on my knees and thank you?
NAUSICAÄ: You haven't understood anything about the Fukai. This is not a human world... It's a place where you don't know what will happen if you use a gun. Many ships fell to the forest from the battle a little while ago, and the insects are angry. Look, above... The royal Yanma is the sentinel [ET: watch] of the forest. It will call [ALT: gather] the other insects immediately. We must escape at once! <Bring out> the spare rope!
MEN: Y-Yes!
NAUSICAÄ: Mito! Repair the hook!
MITO: Yes!
(Kushana shoots)
KUSHANA: Don't move! I'll give the orders!
NAUSICAÄ: What are you frightened of? You're like a lost fox-squirrel.
KUSHANA: WHAT!?
NAUSICAÄ: Don't be afraid... I just want you to go back to your own country.
KUSHANA: You <bitch>...! ["Kisama"]
(The ship bobs up and down as waves form on the lake)
UNCLES: What is it?
NAUSICAÄ: They've come!

NAUSICAÄ: Quiet!! Don't anger them!
UNCLE: This is an Ohmu's nest!!
GOLL: We're surrounded...; NAUSICAÄ; They're investigating us... Ohmu! I'm sorry! For disturbing your nest... But, please understand! We're not your enemies.

UNCLE: P-Princess!
(Nausicaä sees a vision of golden field and a large tree.)
(The Ohmu leave)
NAUSICAÄ: ..!! That person is alive? Wait! Ohmu!!
GOLL: What's starting [ALT: happening]?!
UNCLE: The Ohmu's eyes are bright red.
GOLL: Princess! What do you think you're doing with Mehve?
NAUSICAÄ: When the water calms down, lift off at once and wait in the upper sky! If I'm not back in one hour, return to the valley!!
MITO: But!
UNCLE: Princess!
(Nausicaä flies off)
UNCLE: She's gone...
MITO: (To Kushana) You will give me that... Well, everyone, let's do as the Princess instructed. Princess...

(The pilot of the downed-gunship is fighting a losing-battle with swarms of ground insects)
ASBEL: S-Shit!
(The pilot drops from the cliff, pursued by Hebikera, a flying insect. Nausicaä saves the pilot from the closing jaws of the insect)
ASBEL: You <are>...?
NAUSICAÄ: You've killed too many <insects>! Neither the light bombs nor the insect-whistle will work anymore!

(The tail of the insect strikes Mehve. They crash-land onto a patch of sand. The pilot regains consciousness)
ASBEL: Quicksand! D-Damn!

(In the sky above Fukai)
UNCLE: It's already been 2 hours!
UNCLE: The insects have only increased.
UNCLES: Princess! Princess!!

(Golden field; a dream. Young Nausicaä is gathering flowers)
JHIL: Nausicaä ... Nausicaä! Come here... Come here...!
NAUSICAÄ: Father... Mother's here, too... No... I don't want to go that way...
NAUSICAÄ: Don't come! There's nothing <here>. Really there's nothing <here>!
(An Ohmu larva appears)
NAUSICAÄ: Don't come out!
MAN: It's an Ohmu larva .
JHIL: So the tree was being infested, after all. [This phrase can also be interpreted as "So she was possessed <by the bug> afterall". It is my strong belief that it is the former, but it's hard to say for sure] Give it here, Nausicaä.
NAUSICAÄ: No. It hasn't done anything wrong!
JHIL: People and insects can't live in the same world, child.
NAUSICAÄ: Please! Don't kill it!! Please ...
(She wakes)
NAUSICAÄ: Teto ...
NAUSICAÄ: A mysterious [ALT: strange; "fushigi na" ] place...
(Asbel, carrying Mehve, runs up to Nausicaä)
ASBEL: Hi! I found it at last. How do you feel?
NAUSICAÄ: Where are we?
ASBEL: First of all, let me thank you. I'm Asbel of Pejite. Thanks for saving me.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-003.jpg (28k))
NAUSICAÄ: I'm Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind... Where is this place?
ASBEL: It's not surprising that you're amazed. We're beneath the Fukai.
NAUSICAÄ: Beneath the Fukai?
ASBEL: Look. We fell down from up there, with the sands.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-004.jpg (26k))
NAUSICAÄ: ...!! We don't have our masks on!
ASBEL: Yes, that's just it. The air here is clean. I was surprised, too... That there was a place like this under the Fukai. What's the matter?
(Nausicaä starts to walk away)
ASBEL: Nausicaä! Don't go too far!
(She walks up to one of the fossilized tree)
NAUSICAÄ: What a magnificent tree... It's still conducting water even though it has died...
(Sand-fragments fall from above. She picks one up)
NAUSICAÄ: Just like the sand from the well...
NAUSICAÄ: The trees that fossilized crumbled, and is falling down...
(After a while, Asbel finds Nausicaä)
ASBEL: You're crying?
NAUSICAÄ: Yes... I'm happy...

(Later)
ASBEL: Rastel was my twin sister... I wanted to be there for her <when she died>...
NAUSICAÄ: I'm sorry... <That> I was delayed in telling you.
ASBEL: No... I'm sorry. I almost killed the person who observed my sister's death. [ALT: who was by my sister's death bed] ["Mitoru" - To oversee death. In Japan, as in other countries, observance of the death of those you love or related to is considered important. Here, with Nausicaä observing the death of Asbel's sister in his place, Asbel "owes" Nausicaä somewhat]
NAUSICAÄ: No.
ASBEL: So... That thing is in the Valley of the Wind?
ASBEL: ...!! Strange tasting nuts, aren't they?
NAUSICAÄ: They're called Chico nuts... They're very nutritious.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-032.jpg (23k))
ASBEL: Tastes aside, I want to eat a boot-full!

(That night)
ASBEL: The reason for the birth of Fukai? You're a person who thinks about strange things.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-033.jpg (30k))
NAUSICAÄ: The trees of the Fukai were born to clean this world that humans have polluted. They take the earth's poison into themselves, turn it into clean crystals, then die and become sands. This underground cavern was created in that way. The insects are protecting that forest.
ASBEL: If so, it seems like we have no choice but to die out. We won't know how many thousands of years it would take - We can't keep living in fear of the vapor [ALT: miasma] and the insects. At the ver least, we need a way to keep the Fukai's poison from spreading any more than it has.
NAUSICAÄ: You say the same thing as Kushana.
ASBEL: No! We aren't planning to use the God Soldier in warfare! Tomorrow, when you meet everyone, you'll understand!
NAUSICAÄ: Let's go to sleep... Tomorrow... we'll have to fly a lot...

(Back in the Valley, where the God Soldier is being revived)
GUARD: Nothing unusual, sir.
KUROTOWA: Going smoothly?
GUARD: Yes, sir! The upper-half has almost stabilized.
KUROTOWA: (to the God Soldier) Really, the more I look, the more adorable a monster you seem. Even for a poor soldier like myself, the ambition that has been rusted for quite some time starts to throb. Sheesh! It's laughing! The likes of you should've slept underground 'til the end of time!
GUARD: Chief! Her Highness' convoy was attacked by a Pejite rebel and, leaving only one corvette, have all been annihilated.
KUROTOWA: What happened to Her Highness!
GUARD: I'm told that her ship exploded in mid-air.
GUARDS: Chief!
KUROTOWA: The villagers haven't caught on yet...?
GUARD: No, sir!
KUROTOWA: Good! I'll go at once. As for the rest of you, continue the operation!
GUARDS: Yes, sir!
KUROTOWA: Is it luck that's finally come around to an unlucky commoner, or is it a snare of destruction?

(On a hidden-stairwell in the castle)
BOY: Uncle Mito and the others have come back.
BOY: They're waiting for you at the Acid Sea, Master Yupa.

(In the hull of the ancient ship near the Acid Sea) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-036.jpg (45k))
MITO: We alone have returned ... [apologetic] [ALT: We had the nerve to return alone]
VOICE: No... I'm glad no one's hurt.

KUSHANA: <You say you're> setting me free?
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-037.jpg (38k))
YUPA: Won't you sink the God Soldier deep into the Acid Sea and return to your own country? The <Torumekian> warriors who remain in the valley are few. It would be easy to fight now, but there's no sense increasing any more casualties.
KUSHANA: Neither fire nor water will work on that thing... Nor can you move it now, until it starts to walk... Don't you understand? There's no turning back. Because of the fear that a foreign country might possess enormous power, I was ordered to conquer Pejite. Now that the existence of the thing is known, the neighboring countries will soon be dispatching huge armies, one after the other. There's only one path left to you <all>. Revive the God Soldier, reject the intervention of the neighboring powers, and live with that thing! Look!
(Kushana unfastens some gadgetry to reveal her mechanical left hand)
YUPA: By an insect...?
KUSHANA: One who will be my husband will see yet more dreadful things. Burn the Fukai! Kill the insects! Why do you hesitate to take back the human world?! Take [ALT: Snatch] that thing <from us> as we took [ALT: snatched] it from Pejite.
YUPA: We will not revive the God Soldier!
(A child arrives at the door)
BOY: Emergency!!
BOY: Hey, give the password!
BOY: I'm in a hurry!
BOY: Wind!
BOY: VALLEY!!
BOY: OK.
BOY: A spore was left!
MITO: WHAT?!
BOY: They're giving off great vapors and it's becoming a huge commotion throughout the valley!

VOICE: Hurry, hand them over!
VOICE: If we don't hurry, the whole valley will be annihilated!
VOICE: That's right! Hand over the hand-hooks and flame- throwers!!
VOICE: It's growing rapidly!
GUARD: The tools for burning the spores could become weapons... Giving them that <would be>...
KUROTOWA: It can't be helped. Return all but the guns.
GUARD: Yes, sir!
GUARD: The corvette is departing.
KUROTOWA: Don't fail this time. Gather all the remaining troops from Pejite and bring them to this valley.
GUARD: Yes, sir!
KUROTOWA: Geez, it's becoming troublesome...

GOLL: Please find the Princess.
YUPA: Take care of the valley. Restrain yourselves until I return.
GOLL: Yes <we will>.
GOLL: We'll go to the valley.

(In the fields)

MAN: It's no use! The spore has spread this far.
MAN: It struck here, too!
WOMAN: Out of the way!
GUARD: What are you doing!
WOMAN: Here, too!
VOICE: Grandmother...
GRNDMOTHR: We can only burn them... This forest is lost. If we hesitate, the whole valley will be swallowed up by the Fukai.
MAN: Isn't there anything that can be done...? This forest has protected the reservoir for 300 years...
MAN: Damn... If only they hadn't come... (Approaching the Valley,)
GOLL: It looks like it won't settle as it is [ALT: settle with just the burning of the forests]. Let's go!

(Near Pejite, Nausicaä and Asbel are riding tandem on Mehve)
ASBEL: You think so? It looks the same as always to me.
NAUSICAÄ: No insects... I wonder why? My heart is pounding.
ASBEL: It's a little further. If we cross those mountains, my people [ALT: friend. "Nakama" encompasses the nuances of friends, allies, companions, those who aspire for the same thing] are there.

ASBEL: ...?! It looks strange in Pejite's direction. What's that haze?
NAUSICAÄ: ...! Asbel, put on your mask!
ASBEL: Insects...! <They're> dead...
NAUSICAÄ: We're going to Pejite!
ASBEL: Be careful! Torumekian troops should be there.

(Pejite is in ruins. Nausicaä and Asbel walk through the city. They find a corpse of Ohmu that has penetrated the the ruined mass that was the wall)
NAUSICAÄ: Even an Ohmu...

NAUSICAÄ: annihilated? What do you mean, Asbel?

NAUSICAÄ: It's a brig [ALT: transport ship].
ASBEL: It's my people's [ALT: friends'] ship! It's coming down. Let's go!

LEADER: Asbel! You're alive!
ASBEL
What have you done? We can't even reconstruct like this!
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-046.jpg (50k))
LEADER: You saw the city, I see. Don't worry. Even if it's swallowed by the Fukai, we can burn it away almost at once.
ASBEL: But the God Soldier isn't here.
LEADER: I know. It's in the Valley of the Wind.
ASBEL: How <did you know>?
LEADER: We weren't playing, either. We have already put plan number 2 into action. By tonight, all of the Torumekian army in the Valley of the Wind will be destroyed.
ASBEL: What?!
NAUSICAÄ: Destroyed? What are you going to do?
LEADER: Asbel, who is this?
ASBEL: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. She saved my life.
LEADER: The Valley of the Wind...
NAUSICAÄ: Tell me! What's happening? Asbel! You know, don't you? Tell me!
ASBEL: We will make the insects...attack.
NAUSICAÄ: You were the one who made the insects attack Pejite?! How can you...?
LEADER: We must take back the God Soldier before it's revived at any cost.
MAN: It's to protect the world... Please understand.
NAUSICAÄ: So you'll kill the people of the valley in the process?! Stop it! Stop it at once! Please!
MAN: It's too late.
LEADER: No one can stop them once they've started to run. Most of us were killed off by the Torumekians. There's no other way left <for us>!
(Nausicaä tries to leave on Mehve)
LEADER: Hold her down!
NAUSICAÄ: Release me! Let me go!!
LEADER: Even though it's tough right now, soon as we take back the God Soldier, we can burn the Fukai and take back the human world.
NAUSICAÄ: That's a lie! You're the same as the Torumekians!!
LEADER: No! They would only use it for destruction!
NAUSICAÄ: You drink the well-water, too, don't you? Who do you think is purifying that water? The lakes and rivers that humans have made into poisoned waters, the trees of Fukai are purifying. You're saying you'll burn down those forests? You're at fault for excavating the God Soldier!! [ALT: It's your fault for excavating the God Soldier]
LEADER: Then, what should we do?! Do as the Torumekians dictate?!
NAUSICAÄ: No, no!! Asbel, tell them the reason why the Fukai was born! That the insects are protecting the world...! Asbel! Please!!
(Asbel grabs the Leader's gun)
LEADER: What are you doing?
ASBEL: Don't move! Let her go.
LEADER: Calm down, Asbel!
ASBEL: I'm serious! Let her go! Nausicaä! Let everyone (in the Valley) know!
(Asbel is struck from behind and he goes down)
NAUSICAÄ: Asbel!! Release me!!

ASBEL: Nausicaä, over here! Hurry!
NAUSICAÄ: Thank you, everyone!
ASBEL: Sorry I was late...
(In a cargo hold/hanger)
ASBEL: Can you fly from here?
NAUSICAÄ: I'll try.
(A corvette appears from the cloud)

NAUSICAÄ: A corvette!
LEADER: Retreat! Hurry, into the clouds!!
LIEUTENNT: Cease fire! Fools! It's air disturbance and electric hell within the clouds.
GUARD: (Pejite) It's no use! We can't steer!
ASBEL: The ship is breaking up!
LEADER: Everyone! It can't be helped. Let's get out of the clouds and fight!
(The brig comes out of the cloud, but the corvette is waiting)
LEADER: They've anticipated us! [ALT: They've read our intention]
ASBEL: Damn. What are they <Torumekians> intending to do?!
NAUSICAÄ: The clouds! They're going to force us onto the clouds and board!
(The corvette lands on top of the larger Pejite ship, and boarding parties enter)

ASBEL: They're coming! If you're going to fly, now is the only time.
NAUSICAÄ: I can't do that! I'll stay behind, too! I can't just leave that girl who took my place or your mother behind and go!
ASBEL: Only you can save the people of the Valley! Please, go! Go for us!!
(There is fighting in the corridors)
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-061.jpg (17k))
GUARD: We'll take the ship. Don't take prisoners. Kill them all [?].

(A man appears in the hatchway to the hold)
ASBEL: Go, Nausicaä!! GO!!
(Nausicaä is pushed out by Asbel)
NAUSICAÄ: Asbel!!
(The corvette leaves the Pejite ship to chase Nausicaä.)

MITO: Princess!!
NAUSICAÄ: Mito!
(Valley gunship shoots down the corvette)
NAUSICAÄ: Mito! Master Yupa!!
MITO: Princess!!
NAUSICAÄ: Hurry! Everyone <will be> [in ref to people of Pejite]...! Everyone <will be>!!; MITO; I'll extend the retrieval hook now! Master Yupa! <Pull> the red leve on the right!

(Back aboard the Pejite ship)
GUARD: This is the only place left. Hurry!
ASBEL: The door...is breaking!
LEADER: Let them come... We'll show them the pride of Pejite!!
GIRL: I wonder what that is? A bird...?
LOOKOUT: It's a ship! A gunship from the Valley of the Wind!
GUARD: What!?
(Yupa lands) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-064.jpg (22k))
GUARD: You <bastard>...! ["Kisama"]
(Three guards fall on Yupa, but he quick them)
LIEUTENNT: It's Yupa! Kill him and gain fame! [ALT: win fame; gain renown]
(Yupa leaps over the guards and corners their lieutenant)
YUPA: Surrender! The corvette will not be returning.
GUARD: S-Strong... [ALT: S-Skilled]

(In the gunship) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-066.jpg (55k)) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-065.jpg (30k))
MITO: Princess, this is ridiculous! The engine will explode!
NAUSICAÄ: All it has to do is last until the Valley. [ALT: I don't care as long as it lasts to the Valley] Raise it to 300!! Dear God...! Dear God of the Wind! Please protect everyone.

(The people of the Valley are holed up in the wreck of an ancient space ship; the Torumekian army has them surrounded) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-067.jpg (37k))

KUROTOWA: It doesn't seem like we can move them even with a lever...
KUSHANA: They're waiting for her return...
KUROTOWA: Return?
KUSHANA: They believe that that girl will return with the gunship.
KUROTOWA: The gunship would be troublesome... Shall we start a round now <before the gunship returns>?
KUSHANA: Do you know what that ship is?
KUROTOWA: It was built before the Seven Days of Fire, right? I don't know if it's true or not, but it <supposedly> went as far as the stars, or some such. The guns don't work very well <against it> because it's extremely hard, but, heck, if we aim at [ALT: shoot in] the holes...
KUSHANA: I want to wait as well.
KUROTOWA: Huh?
KUSHANA: If, that is, she can indeed return from the depth of the Fukai alive... I would have liked to have spoken with that girl once.
(She goes down to the Valley prisoners)

KUSHANA: Well? Made up your minds? If you're going to counsel surrender <to them> I'll release you. Do you want this to be a repetition of Pejite?
UNCLE: You're a Princess, too, but you're very different from our Princess...
GOLL: Please look at this hand. It's the same disease as Lord Jhil's. In half a year, it'll be just like a rock. But, our Princess says she likes this hand. She told me it was the beautiful hand of a hard-working person.
KUSHANA: Even while being affected by the poisons of the Fukai, you nonetheless say you will live with the Fukai?

UNCLE: You use fire... We use a little of that, too, but...
GOLL: Too much fire gives birth to nothing... Fire turns a forest to ash in one day...
UNCLE: Water and wind takes 100 years to nurture a forest. We prefer water and wind...
UNCLE: If the Princess saw that forest, she would grieve...
GUARD: Chief. Any orders yet?
KUROTOWA: Mind your business... [ALT: Stay down; stay away; go away]
GUARD: Yes, sir!
KUROTOWA: I don't know what happened, but, my, you've turned soft-hearted. [ALT: cute(well...); manageable]
KUSHANA: Kurotowa! Release those people!
KUROTOWA: Then we're going to wait?
KUSHANA: Let the troops take their meal! In one hour we'll begin the attack!
KUROTOWA: A meal, eh...? I guess I'll take my time with it...
(Later)
MAN: Somebody's coming!
MAN: It's Goll and the others!
GOLL: Hm?
UNCLE: What's the matter...?
GOLL: There's no wind...
UNCLE: No wind? You're right... The wind has stopped...

GRNDMOTHR: Oh...
GIRL: Grandmother, what's the matter?
WOMAN: Grandmother?
GRNDMOTHR: Somebody... Somebody take me outside...!
(On the hull of the ancient ship)
GIRL: This is the first time the wind ever stopped...
GIRL: Grandmother, my ears hurt...
GRNDMOTHR: The atmosphere... The atmosphere is filled with anger...

NAUSICAÄ: <We're> close!
MITO: We've cut through the Fukai! Three minutes to the Acid Sea!
NAUSICAÄ: Engine, slow! We'll descend beneath the clouds.
MITO: What are these lights?!
NAUSICAÄ: Ohmu...!

MITO: The Ohmu have flooded out of the Fukai!! They're heading for the Valley of the Wind!
NAUSICAÄ: Why? How did they get the Ohmu to <stampede>...?
NAUSICAÄ: ..!! Someone is calling the herd... Mito! Fly towards Sirius!
MITO: Y-Yes.
NAUSICAÄ: There! Mito, a flare! Ready... Fire!
(A small Ohmu is being carried through the air)
MITO: What is that!?

NAUSICAÄ: How cruel...! They're using that child as a lure to call the herds.
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-079.jpg (27k))
MITO: Damn!! I'll knock them down!
NAUSICAÄ: No!! Don't shoot! Mito, please!!
MITO: Why! Why can't I shoot them down?!
NAUSICAÄ: If we kill the Ohmu's child, we won't be able to stop the stampede!!
MITO: Then what can we do?! As it stands, the Valley will be annihilated!!
NAUSICAÄ: Calm down, Mito! We'll return the Ohmu's child to the herd. I'll try it!
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-080.jpg (29k))
MITO: Princess, what are you doing?!
NAUSICAÄ: Mito, you go let everyone know!

(Nausicaä leaves on Mehve)
MITO: Princess!! Without even a weapon...!
(Back in the Valley)
GUARD: Those are not our flares!
KUSHANA: Distance?!
GUARD: About 20 leagues. I speculate that it is on the other side of the lake.
KUSHANA: Do you think it's the gunship?
KUROTOWA: Most likely... It's a signal requesting help. It's definitely the gun ship.
KUSHANA: One hour has passed. Let's go.
KUROTOWA: You won't wait?
KUSHANA: It's a bloody path, after all.
GUARD: Armored troops, forward!
KUROTOWA: Your Highness, <won't you go> inside?
KUSHANA: Here is fine.
GUARD: The gunship!
GUARD: Air raid!
KUSHANA: Don't shoot!! Stop. Stop it!
GOLL: Princess!!
KUSHANA: Await orders here! Hold your fire!!
KUROTOWA: Your Highness!
(The gunship lands)
KUSHANA: What happened to that girl?!
GOLL: Where's the Princess!?
UNCLE: She's not riding in the back!
MITO: It's the Ohmu! A herd of Ohmu is coming this way!
GOLL: What?
MAN: Ohmu?
MITO: The Princess stayed behind alone to stop the stampede. There's no time for fighting! Everyone, escape to high ground! Hurry!!
(Atop the wreck, looking on)
GIRL: Grandmother, I can see red lights!
GIRL: It looks like they're multiplying rapidly...
GIRL: They're coming this way!
GRNDMOTHR: Hang on tight to Grandma... No one can stop them now...
VOICES: Don't panic!! It's still all right! Hurry!
OLD WOMAN: Mito... I'm going to die anyway; I'll die in the valley.
MITO: No. While the Princess hasn't given up, don't give up.
(Kushana is addressing her troops)
KUSHANA: All right? Gain as much time as you can. I will return shortly.
KUROTOWA: Your Highness! Are you considering that thing...? It's too soon.
KUSHANA: If we don't use it now, when do we use it? Go!
(Nausicaä is circling the Pejite 'flying jar')
NAUSICAÄ: Don't shoot! Hear me out!
MAN: Damn... That one's like a bird!
GUNNER: That person's not an enemy. She was crying out something.
MAN: Anyone who hinders the plan is an enemy. If we don't drop the lure in the valley soon, it'll be us who are in danger. [ALT: we will be in danger] She's coming... Draw her in real close before you fire. Now! Shoot!!
GUNNER: No!! That's Rastel's <clothes>...
MAN: Move!
(Nausicaä leaps from Mehve into the flying jar.) (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-082.jpg (42k)) (The operation is disrupted and the flying jar loses altitude. The Ohmu larva lands and pulls the vehicle down. Nausicaä heads for the injured larva)
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-083.jpg (71k))
NAUSICAÄ: Ohmu...
NAUSICAÄ: Don't be angry... Don't be frightened... I'm not your enemy... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I can't ask you to forgive us, can I...? It was too cruel, wasn't it...?
(The Ohmu larva, sensing the approach of the herd, starts forward)
NAUSICAÄ: You mustn't move!! Your body fluid's going to flow!!
MAN: Oh no! [ALT: Oh my god] We've been found! [ALT: They found us]
GUNNER: They're coming this way!
(The Ohmu larva tries to cross the lake to rejoin the herd)
NAUSICAÄ: Don't! If you go in with a wound like that...! This lake water is no good, I tell you!
(Nausicaä's foot enters the water and is burned the acid)
NAUSICAÄ: AHHH!!
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-084.jpg (66k))

NAUSICAÄ: You... [pause] Kind child... I'm all right... Soon everyone will be here to take you back...
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime/Images/Nausicaa/Images/n+ohmu.jpg (33k))
(Ohmu herd that was heading toward the larva now turns away)
NAUSICAÄ: They're not coming this way! Ohmu! Don't! The Valley of the Wind lies that way!! In anger they've forgotten themselves. If I can calm them, the Valley will be...!!
(Rockets are being launched from the Valley)
MAN: Fools! They're gathering the Ohmu themselves!
GUNNER: We're saved...
MAN: Let's take off at once. Check the engine... [pause] S-stop!
(Nausicaä has dismounted the flying jar's machine gun)
MAN: We can explain!
NAUSICAÄ: Carry us... I will return that child to the herd!
MAN: It's no use <doing a thing like that>. The herd won't stop!
NAUSICAÄ: You'll only have to drop [ALT: unload] us in front of the herd. Carry us!
GUNNER: But... You'll die, too!

(Acid Sea)
GIRL: Will everyone die, Grandmother?
GRNDMOTHR: If that is our destiny...we can only obey.
KUROTOWA: Haven't budged at all!
GUARD: Let's retreat, sir.
KUROTOWA: Idiot. You talk about escaping but...where do we escape to?
(The soldiers loses heart and a mass desertion is about to begin)
KUROTOWA: Hey! Don't run away! Wait! Hey! Stand your ground until Her Highness returns! Her Highness... (Kushana arrives) It's Her Highness!!
(The God Soldier appears behind Kushana)
PEOPLE: It's the God Soldier!
KUROTOWA: It's spoiled [ALT: rotting]... It was too early.
KUSHANA: Burn them down!! What's the matter...?! Are you not the descendent of the most evil clan <ever to live> on earth?!
(The God Soldier opens fire on the Ohmu; Tremendous explosion follows)
KUROTOWA: Amazing... No wonder the world was burned!
GUARD: Her Highness Kushana... Hooray! Hooray!
KUSHANA: Burn them down! What's the matter, monster? Shoot at once!
(The God Soldier begins to disintegrate and collapses)
GIRL: The God Soldier died...
GRNDMOTHR: It's better that way. The anger of the Ohmu is the anger of the earth. Of what use is surviving, relying on a thing like that?
(Nausicaä is carried in with the small Ohmu)
GIRL: Princess !! It's Princess!
VILLAGERS: Princess. Princess...!
(The flying jar drops Nausicaä and the Ohmu larva)
MAN: A place like that...!
MAN: That's crazy...
WOMAN: Princess!
(The stampede arrives, and Nausicaä's body is tossed into the air)

(The Pejite brig, as it approaches the Valley)
YUPA: The Ohmu's attack color is going out...!

(Acid Sea)
GRNDMOTHR: The anger has disappeared from the atmosphere...
MITO: They've stopped... . The Ohmu have stopped.
GIRL: Princess!!
GIRL: Princess is dead...
GRNDMOTHR: She has quieted the Ohmu's anger with her own body [ET: life]... That child has protected the Valley...
(An Ohmu lifts Nausicaä's body on its feelers; other Ohmu join in)
MAN: Look!
KUROTOWA: What are these lights...?
(There is a great coalescence of light. Nausicaä regains consciousness [or resurrected, whichever you prefer])
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-002.jpg (33k))
NAUSICAÄ: Teto... I'm glad... Ohmu, thank you... Thank you...!
GOLL: It's a miracle... It's a miracle!
GRNDMOTHR: What sympathy they possess...! The Ohmu are opening their hearts... Children, look well <for me> in place of my blind eyes.
GIRL: Princess is wearing a deep blue foreign dress.
GIRL: It's as if she's walking through a golden field...
GRNDMOTHR: "That one, wearing a robe of blue, shall descend onto a golden field..." Oh...!!
GIRL: Grandmother?
GRNDMOTHR: The old legend was indeed true...!
GIRL: Look!
MAN: It's Mehve!
MAN: The wind...! The wind has come back!
(The people run to meet Nausicaä. Scenes of what happens afterwards follow. Nausicaä's mask lies near a new sapling growing in the cavern below the Fukai)
