Kiki o'Kiki

I absolutely agree that "Kiki's Delivery Service" is a wonderful movie.
I am not fond of the 1989 'merikan voiceovers. On second viewing, listening to the original Japanese which included original music and songs, the effect was closer to timeless.

Connie had a "date" tonight. Not in a car this time, but at a hotel bar. Eight o'clock. The number was working late at a cancerous infant ward down in Palo Alto, and hadn't had dinner. Neither had Connie. Oh, well, let's just have a few cocktails and get acquainted. Ok, one more.

Oh, he was hot! He was totally sexy, totally hot, really hot body, well, kinda hairy, and not worked out, but really sexy and going on, and he was having a hard time resisting but I had no trouble at all!"

"So what you're describing is a date rape situation."

"What?"

"You overpowered him, you are bigger and stronger than he is.You forced your mouth on his, without even inquiring whether..."

"What, whether he had herpes simplex, and was currently experiencing an outbreak? That sounds like a great way to break the mood!"

"I'm glad I called. I had a feeling you could use a phone call from a friend just about then."

"Oh, he was so hot! He was totally into me, too. I'm sure I'll be hearing from him again!"

"What did you say? You know for sure you won't be hearing from him again?"

Kiki, oh, kiki.
