THE CRIMSON PIG
Yeah?
Porco Rosso, get going.
The Mamma Aitos are on the move.
The Mamma Aitos?
I don't need a cheap job.
A charter ship from Venice was attacked.
They're stealing fuel from the ship.
Is that all?
Ah... Well...
Some vacationing school children are on board.
It's going to cost more than you think.
I'm going to apply clause three of the contract to this case.
And clause four, too!
Stop!
Stop, or we'll sink you!
We're gonna be kidnapped!
Sea pirates!
They're not sea pirates!
They're air pirates!
Overdue for an overhaul.
Are you bad guys?
Yup.
Are we hostages?
Yeah.
You guys are air pirates, aren't you?
You know a lot.
It's a skull.
Neat!
Hurry up with the kids!
I'm busy!
Do you want all fifteen of them?
Of course, it's not nice for a girl to be left behind.
I'm too late.
The girls were kidnapped!
Bring the girls back!
They went that way!
I know what they're thinking.
They're poor and stingy.
So they'll want to save gas.
They'll change course for the nearest island, as soon as they're out of sight.
Crap!
Dammit!
This is no good.
There they are!
What the heck?
A sightseeing plane around the islands.
Look at that!
It's a pig!
What a cute pig!
You girls could be kidnapped here.
Watch out, babes!
Cool!
What a nuisance!
We're flying!
Let me see! Let me see!
Hey! Don't!
Shut up! Shut up! Please!
Hey, do something will you?
That's why I asked if you wanted all of them.
OK, but just for a little while.
Wonderful!
Look at that!
A red plane!
Where!? Where!?
It's over there, right?
Yeah.
That's as far as you go.
Here he comes!
That's Porco Rosso!
Hey, I can't see!
It stopped.
We're gonna fall.
Not yet! There's one more engine!
What the heck are you doing!?
Shoot him!
Shoot him down!
Wow! What a cool red plane!
You missed him.
You're in my way.
Morse code!
"You lose. Listen to me."
Shut up!
Here! Here! He's coming!
Get your heads down!
Where, where is he!?
He must be hiding.
Wow! Cool!
We're sinking! We're sinking!
We're not sinking!
This is a seaplane!
Hey, hey, hey! Don't!
It's dangerous!
Stop that!
You're very valuable hostages!
Don't worry, mister.
We're all on the swim team at school.
Oh, no. No!
Me, too!
Another message from the pig!
"I'm going to let you keep half the gold coins,"
"but leave the rest of the coins and the hostages behind."
"If you don't, I'm going to kill you all."
That's what he says.
Half the coins!?
Shut your mouth!
Come on, pig!
Let's fight it out!
Here we go!
It's broken!
We give up! We give up!
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
Play with us again!
Goodbye! Goodbye!
This is great. We have enough money for repairs.
You, idiot. Be more greedy!
Quiet down!
Quiet down, will you!?
Don't touch that, you'll break it.
Stay away from the propeller.
Pee? Do it around there, please.
Again the song of triumph of the Crimson Pig
Mamma Aito's men said they couldn't come to see us.
Damn! How can a pig be such a hero?
That young fella is an American, isn't he?
If he is, that's a shame for the pilots of the Adriatic.
Oh, not at all. His grandmother is a quarter Italian.
We should do something about the pig. We have a great deal of trouble.
But, ten percent! That's not fair!

Porco Rosso! I'm a reporter for The Neptune.
You did another great job!
I think The Mamma Aitos
aren't going to show up again for a while.
Anyway, about your estimated
bounty this year.
They say it must be more than last year's...
Wait! Let go of me!
Hey!
Listen to the song quietly.
She's wonderful.
Madam Gina at the Hotel Adriano is famous among pilots throughout this country.
While she sings, even pirates and bounty hunters become good guys.
Is that plane up front yours?
Yeah, it's "The Rattlesnake", bringer of fame and fortune.
You beat Italians two two years in a row for the Schneider Trophy.
Not only is it fast,
it's also an excellent fighter.
But I've heard tales of a "Porco Rosso" who's pretty famous around here, too.
If you're dealing with the air pirates watch your tail, cowboy.
They're misers and are poor, too.
And they stink because they don't take showers.
I know that...
What? Come on, you little chicken!
May I help you, gentlemen? What're you up to tonight?
You're up to no good, aren't you?
I'm glad you came, but don't play war games.
We know, Gina. We don't work within fifty kilometers of here.
We're even getting along with that pig.
You're good boys.
See you later.
Hey! What are you doing!?
Porco, tell me the whole story.
Next time we're alone.
That American is really funny.
As soon as he saw me he proposed.
So I told him:
"I've married three pilots."
"The first died in the war,"
"the second died in the Atlantic Ocean,"
"and the third one died in Asia."
You got the news?
I got it today.
It says the remains were found in the forests of Bengal.
I've been waiting for three years.
My tears dried up long ago.
Good guys always die.
For my friend.
Marco, thank you,
for staying with me all these years.
You're my best friend.
The only thing I don't like is that you won't take that picture down.
Don't break it, you promised me.
That's the only picture left of you as a human.
How can we break your curse?
That American is... very talented.
I envy you.
I wish I could make money like you.
This is the payment for this month.
You've paid off the entire loan for the airplane.
Let's see...
How about buying some Patriot Bonds in devotion to our country?
I'll leave that to the "humans".
Welcome, Mr. Porco Rosso.
It's ready.
Give me sixty rounds of ammo as well.
OK.
The country's busy, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
The government is probably going to change.
If so, people like you will be outlaws.
"Country" and "law" don't mean anything to a pig.
You're right.
The same goes for a mole.
Is it OK, like usual?
We have a new supply of incendiary bombs.
Hey kid, I'm not going to war.
See you.
Thanks for coming.
Excuse me, boss.
Could you tell me the difference between a soldier and a bounty hunter?
One's scum if he can't win in war.
The other's useless and stupid if he can't make a fortune.
Who ever heard of an air pirate who was deep in debt?
We had nothing to barter with, Captain.
We couldn't even afford paint.
There are ships up ahead!
Crap!
Why do I have to stay with such a pathetic looking group?
It's due to the pig.
Take a look at that. The Mama Aitos can't even afford paint.
Sorry looking chumps.
Well, we're all here.
Hey! Is the American around?
Yeah, he's in the sun.
Just like he told us.
Target sighted!
It's the Queen Of The Mediterranean!
Are we going to take on such a big ship?
That's why we prepared well. Don't be afraid!
I'm having engine trouble.
You go first.
You are cunning!
Do as we agreed!
We share the cost of repairs when we lose, don't we?
You, stingy...
Of course we share them!
Wait a minute...
Engine trouble...
Shut up!
Knock it off!
Attention please!
Air pirates are attacking this ship.
But there's nothing to worry about.
This ship has excellent fighters.
Let me introduce the pilots.
Number One: The Black Stallion, Signore Valleta!
Number Two: The Seawolf, Flying Officer Visconti!
I didn't know they had fighter protection.
How can it be?
Ah, ah, they're upset.
Let's get out of here!
All right, wait there!
This engine's finally had it.
Looks like I'll have to take it to Milan.
They were shot down,
but they succeeded in escaping by parachute.
The air pirates, who took all the money and gold from the ship,
left the following message:
"You're next, pig!"
"Come get it, pig!"
I repeat:
"You are next, pig. Come get it, pig."
This crime...
You guys are special kind of trash.
I'm sorry, but I'm going on vacation.
White sheets...
Beautiful ladies...
Just get me to Milan, Engine-chan.
I don't like this weather.
I guess I'll have to go under the clouds...
Be a good girl, hang in there.
You're a good girl, Engine-chan.
Rosso!
Fight me, man to man!
I don't have time to play with you now.
Don't run away, or I'm going to tell everybody about it!
See you later, American!
Damn! I'm out of the clouds.
Oh oh!
Gotcha!
No, you didn't. It's broken.
Did it!
I'm going to be famous!
They won't believe me if I don't bring back any proof.
Let's see...
There!
This cheap, red piece.
This is it.
This will be a nice gift for my mom in Alabama.
Please hurry.
Madam!
Telephone. Please.
He's still alive!
Please use the phone at the front desk.
Marco, is this you!?
Are you hurt?
I was about to leave to pick you up.
Yes.
That's great.
I lost some weight because I was stranded on an island.
I'm going to Milan to repair my plane.
If that American stops by your hotel,
tell him:
"See you again next time."
What!?
Do you think I'm a bulletin board or something?
However much I worry about you guys,
you regard women as something insignificant, like part of the furniture.
Marco, you're going to end up as roast pork someday.
I'd hate to witness such a miserable funeral.
A pig who doesn't fly is just an ordinary pig.
Idiot!
The red wings are broken
The Crimson Pig, dead or alive?
I've been waiting for you, I expected you tonight.
I need your help again.
You lost too much this time.
Why don't you just build another one?
I want to keep this one.
I know how you feel.
Step aside, please. I need drive into the factory.
Who's the cute girl?
My granddaughter, from America.
All right! All right!
All right!
Nice plane.
It's neat, grandpa.
Good design.
These days there're almost no workers to do a job like this.
She doesn't resemble you.
Is she really your granddaughter?
Don't touch her!
Fio, I leave this to you.
OK, I'll do it.
My opponent is Curtis.
I need fifteen knots more.
Curtis?
I've heard of him.
What do you think?
This is a Folgore, isn't it?
Don't ask how I got this.
An Italian plane with this engine lost to Curtis at the Schneider's cup race in 1927.
But it lost due to poor engineering, not this engine.
This is exciting!
Don't tune it up too delicately.
My plane isn't for racing.
Preaching to me?
Do you know the saying, "Preaching a sermon to Buddha"?
Are you going to take all my money?
These days, wads of bills aren't worth a damn.
Give me the money in your pocket, for propeller and paint.
This is for living expenses, such as hotel and meals.
You can stay here.
I won't charge you much. Meals included.
I don't see your sons.
Are they all right?
All three left to look for work.
Then who's going to design my plane?
Fio is.
Fio!
That little girl I just saw?
She's young but she's got something my sons lack.
Look, old man, we've known each other for long time.
But I'll look for another repairman this time.
Hold it!
Are you worried because I'm a woman?
Or do you think I'm too young to do it?
Both, Miss.
OK, I agree with you.
Well, can you tell me the first priority of being a good pilot?
Experience?
No. Inspiration, I think.
Well, I'm glad you didn't say "experience".
Anyway, I heard from grandpa that you flew at an early age.
And you've been an excellent pilot since then.
That was 1910, when I was seventeen.
Seventeen!
That's the same age I am now.
I can't quit being a woman,
but let me do the job, will you?
If I don't do it well, don't pay me.
OK, grandpa?
She's my granddaughter, she'll do well.
In my case, I was able to fix engines at the age of twelve.
Could you sleep here tonight? I'll make your bed tomorrow.
Breakfast at seven o'clock, have a hot shower.
I've you left a towel already.
Have a good night!
You don't have enough money.
We're old friends so I'll make the rest a loan.
Good morning! Did you sleep well?
Did you stay up all night?
This is the rough plan. What do you think?
I want to redesign this wing section, leaving the plane shape as it is.
This will make your plane fly faster...
five knots, I think!
The original drawings surprised me.
The wings were single-structure.
This plane is great...
whoever designed it really understands wood.
I'm impressed.
This is the only plane of its kind made.
The designer said it was too dangerous to fly.
I found it in a warehouse.
No wonder!
I'm surprised that this radical design lets you to takeoff from water.
Only takeoffs and landings give me some difficulty.
It behaves fine during flight.
Add half a degree to the angle here, right?
Otherwise...
everything should be fine.
You'll let me continue!?
Thank you!
I'll do my best!
But let me tell you something, Miss:
Don't stay up all night.
You can't do a good job without sleep.
And it is not good for your looks.
Thanks for your advice.
Well, to be honest, I couldn't sleep well last night.
I was very nervous.
I was worried that you won't let me do this job.
Well, I'm very sleepy now.
I'll make some coffee for you.
Is she going to build this plane by herself?
Next is my niece, Monica, in charge of general construction.
Nice to meet you.
This is my nephew's wife, Silvana, to do finishing construction.
These are daughters of my relatives:
Sophia, Laura, Constance, Valentina.
Fio's elder sister, Giliora.
Sandra, my cousin.
You look so pretty, Marietta.
My son's wives:
Maria, Tina, Anna,
and her younger sister, Birreta.
Angeline!
Grandma!
Are you still alive?
You've grown up to be such a nice boy!
Are you ladies going to work?
Yes, I'd like to have some money for my great-grandchildren.
There are no men here, right?
Yup.
These are all relatives of yours?
Yes.
They don't have any jobs these days.
All the men went elsewhere to work.
The depression...
Don't worry. Girls are nice, they work hard and they're also gutsy.
Building an airplane isn't like cooking pancakes.
Dear God in Heaven.
You gave my company, which was about to go bankrupt,
work to do and bread to eat.
Please forgive me for making a fighter plane with ladies.
Well, let's eat well and work hard!
Sounds good! This engine is really something!
What do you say, it's nice, isn't it!?
Don't over do it, or this factory will be gone!
You don't think Curtis is worth it!?
Sure, this is a good idea.
So, let me do it.
But, this is going to cost a fortune.
I got a lot of bills already.
I'm not sure what the sponsor thinks.
Porco...
OK. Don't look at me like that.
Do it your way.
All right!
I've already talked to manufacturers.
I'll order these immediately.
Porco, I love you!
It's going to take at least three months.
I want to change my job and become an air pirate.
She's a nice girl, isn't she.
Don't touch her.
I wouldn't be happy being henpecked.
So, now you're a major? You've moved up in the world, Fieralli.
You, fool. Why did you come back?
I make it a rule to go wherever I want.
The government won't let you go this time.
Were you followed?
I gave them the slip.
They'll issue a warrant for your arrest.
Anti-fascism,
illegal entries,
corrupt ideology,
being a shameless, lazy pig,
and public indecency.
Idiot, this is no laughing matter!
They say they'll confiscate your plane.
This movie is crap, don't you think.
Look, Marco, come back to the Air Force.
I would make room for you.
I'd rather be a pig than a fascist.
The era of sky adventures is over!
The only thing left for us to do is to fly for such ridiculous reasons as "country".
I've lived my life my way, without relying on force.
You are a pig after all, huh?
Thanks for your advice, Fieralli.
Give my regards to the others.
This is a nice film, don't you think.
Take care.
They don't sue pigs, but...
Yeah.
Goodbye, my comrade.
Porco! Need a ride?
Hey, you're a life saver.
I borrowed this to take your plane to the lake tomorrow.
It's for a test flight.
I don't need the test flight.
I need to fly as soon as possible.
Don't be stupid!
I'm not going to give you the plane without testing it.
Besides, it will take almost a day to take it apart and transport it to the lake.
We don't have that much time.
Take a look back, will you... slowly.
That's the fascist secret police.
They were following you, Fio.
Me!?
Why!?
Because I gave them the slip.
And because you are
working on my plane.
Hey! Porco, are you really a spy?
Me? A spy?
Look, a spy works a lot harder than I do.
But, you were a hero in the war.
This is strange if you didn't do anything.
I think so, too.
This isn't the right way!
Looks like you're used to being in big trouble.
Well... we'll be very busy.
You can takeoff anytime you want.
Two guys are hiding in the backyard,
and, three in the front.
This is so exciting!
Hey, grandma, don't ramble.
See you later.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you.
Fio! What are you doing!?
I'm going, too.
Hang on five minutes while I prepare my seat.
Quit fooling around!
Do you understand what you're saying?
Shhh! Don't talk so loud.
Fio, listen...
You're the daughter of a decent man.
Besides, you're not married yet.
Then...
Hold this for a moment.
Thanks.
I made this in a hurry. See?
It fits.
Would you hold that?
Look, Miss...
I'm a bounty hunter wanted by the government.
I'm not a tourist pilot!
I'm sorry, but I have a responsibility for this plane.
But, I'm going to takeoff from the canal out back.
And I'm not even sure if it can fly.
All the more reason I should go with you.
And, if you're going to fight Curtis,
you'll need a good mechanic, won't you?
Look, I'm a man, you know.
We're going to be camping on a deserted island.
I don't care, I like camping.
That's not what I meant...
Take her with you.
I want you to beat Curtis so you can repay the loan.
My company may go bankrupt if you don't pay it.
Are you really her grandfather?
You don't have to pay her.
Plus, I'm going to install this voice tube for you.
You really want her to be wanted by the police?
No. I'm going to be Porco's hostage.
That way they can excuse the cooperation with you.
Take me.
I'll make myself useful.
So, please, take me with you.
I won't give you any trouble.
Remove the machine gun on the right side.
What?
There's almost no space, even if you've got a small butt.
Take off one machine gun!
Great!
My butt is bigger then it looks.
It'll only take a minute.
I want to takeoff as soon as possible.
Before the old ladies want to come with me, too.
Oh, that's a nice idea.
Grandma, come on, hurry.
Fio. You don't have get me a souvenir.
Contact!
Open the door!
Let it go!
Kidnapper! Pay us our money!
How's the steering, Porco!?
Kind of rough, just like you.
It's beginning to go wild!
Stop the plane at once! We'll make adjustments!
We don't have the time! We nee to get airborne!
This water's like glue!
Ship dead ahead!
Let's fly!
Come on, baby!
The left flap's in the water!
Use the tabs!
Tabs!?
They're new!
Hurry!
Good. It became a nice boy all of a sudden.
Beautiful...
The world's really beautiful.
Is he following us!?
No, he's not attacking.
That's a parade plane of the Italian Air Force.
Looks like Fieralli.
Do you know him?
He says the Air Force is waiting up ahead,
and he'll show us how to avoid them.
He says that we should fly low, close to the water.
Thanks, comrade!
Thanks!
He says seeing us is like putting pearls before a swine.
You're lovely.
You look like
a rose blooming in a secret flower garden.
You, bastard!
This is private garden.
I really want you to look at this.
Oh, this is from Hollywood.
"In the matter of your starring in the script you sent,"
"please contact us as soon as possible."
The title is: "Flower Of The Adriatic Sea".
That's nice.
Really?
That means OK, then?
Gina, come to Hollywood with me.
I only worked for the pirates to gain fame and fortune.
Next, I want to be a Hollywood star.
And, then?
The President!
I'm serious!
Gina, I promise to make you the First Lady.
Gina...
I like you for such foolishness.
Really!?
But I must say no, because I already have a gamble going.
When I'm in this garden, if he comes over here,
I will love him.
But he comes only to the restaurant at night.
And never emerges in the daylight.
He's come back...
Fool...
He left without landing the plane.
I lost the gamble again.
You're kidding!
The gamble is about him!?
Is that a problem?
Life is more complicated here than in your country.
Here I can fall in love anytime I want.
Kid, go to Hollywood by yourself, OK?
Kid!?
I hit my head when you suddenly did that roll!
I just said hello to my friend.
To Gina of the Hotel Adriano?
That was her in the white dress on the hotel terrace, wasn't it?
My grandpa told me that every pilot in the Adriatic Sea falls in love with Gina.
You speculate a lot.
So, what's the lady like? You fell in love with her too, didn't you, Porco?
We're going down to refuel.
Close your mouth, or you'll bite your tongue.
W... Wait! Ahhh!
A girl on a fighter?
Where's Porco?
He's talking with my dad.
Not only the temporary government,
but also the royalist faction.
They've tried to get along with the air pirates.
Fighting against the air pirates is a bad idea.
Here you are.
Thanks.
No thanks for such bad news.
What?
You should offer yourself to one side or the other.
They'll pay a fortune for your skill.
You got a cigarette?
Curtis will go back to America sooner or later.
We're the ones who should to go to America.
Goodbye to freedom in the Adriatic Sea.
Is that Byron?
No, it's me.
See you later.
Later.
Porco, this is awful!
Gas is three times as much as in Italy.
We're not in luck.
Give us a break.
This gas is genuine.
That's why I hate girls.
Hey, would you explain it to her...
Pay him, Fio.
Then put your big butt back in the space between the machine guns.
We're going to fly to my home.
I'll add the gas bill to your account.
Nobody can live alone.
We rely on each other.
Nobody lives around here,
even though the landscape is beautiful.
Here we are. Home.
Beautiful!
What a wonderful place.
My legs are stiff from the long flight.
Don't move!
They're stinking up the place again.
Boss! We caught him!
Boss!
Damn! Don't step on me.
Back off!
I was waiting for you, pig!
I knew you'd be coming here...
You gave us a lot of trouble.
It's a girl!
The pig is with a girl!
She's cute.
Shut up!
So what if it's a girl?
Half the world's population is women!
Hey, that's no ordinary girl.
She's chief engineer at the Piccolo company.
But, she's so young, and pretty.
That girl? Really!?
She made my plane much better then before.
She may be young but she's really good.
You mean it, Porco?
I never lie about airplanes.
Be polite, boys.
She came with me to collect my debts.
You're deep in debt after all.
It serves you right!
Hey!
Let's break his red plane and leave him his debt!
Break!?
Are you going to break the plane I made?
Are you going to break such a beautiful airplane with axes?
Miss, the reason is complicated...
You are!
Well, that is...
Are you guys really seaplane pilots?
Would you step back?
My shoes...
I've heard stories about seaplane pilots since I was a small child.
My grandpa always told me that no one is as nice as seaplane pilots.
Grandpa said it's because sea and sky purify their hearts.
Hence, sea pilots are much braver than sailors,
and prouder than ordinary pilots.
Don't tell me, I know that.
We're seaplane pilots.
What they value most, he said, is neither money, nor women.
It's honor!
Yes, you're right!
Yes, lady!
A toast to the sea pilots!
She's really something.
I understand.
We won't smash the plane you made with axes.
But we'd be mortified if we don't do anything!
Let's lynch the pig!
Yeah! Lynch the pig!
What the hell you talking about!?
You didn't understand a word I said.
I asked whether or not you feel ashamed.
Aren't you ashamed that you needed the help of that American, Curtis?
Your mothers would cry
and tell you to take a bath.
You don't even bathe!
Porco came back to fight Curtis, one-on-one,
for the pride and honor of the pilots of the Adriatic.
You guys are the lowest of the low!
Fight with dignity!
I told you not to hire Curtis, eh.
That's not fair. Don't try to excuse yourself.
Boss, what are we supposed to do?
She convinced us.
How about asking Curtis to fight the pig?
Do we ask him to fight the pig, again?
The contract is already over.
I'm so ashamed...
That's Curtis!
I heard that!
I'm not going to run away!
You guys are crazy, coming down here like that.
Hey, hold this.
You want a rematch, don't you.
But I already won once.
Besides, I don't work for these guys anymore.
Won't fight for free, eh. What's your proposal?
Beautiful!
Will you marry me if I win?
I'm serious.
OK. And if Porco wins, you pay his bills.
Wait, Fio!
Stay out of this!
Fio, you still have time to think about that.
Ask him, not me.
This is very expensive!
It's very cheap.
Are you going to fight or not?
I'm willing to fight for love.
Right!
Listen up everybody!
I'm really impressed with Miss Fio's decision!
The Mamma Aitos are going to sponsor the fight!
And the Air Pirates Federation, too!
Fio! See you soon!
This stinks!
Hey pig! Don't run away!
Shut up!
Get lost!
Bye!
This is ridiculous.
Well, you are...
Don't tell me.
I know I was foolish.
Fio...
I think I have to thank you.
You gave me a chance.
Thanks.
We share the same luck.
We're partners, aren't we?
We're going to have a hard time.
I trust you, Porco.
Trust me, eh?
I haven't heard that in a long time, but I'm glad you said that.
What's wrong?
You feel sick?
Fio...
I'm fine.
It's just that my heart is pounding.
My knees are shaking.
To be honest, I was really scared.
I want to swim!
Porco! I made a big mistake!
What's wrong!?
I should've padded the bill!
We made a bad bargain!
You're right.
Porco...
Trouble sleeping?
Just now! Eh...
It must have been a dream.
Everything is all right.
It's too early to get up.
Porco...
Porco, why did you become a pig?
Don't know.
I've heard a lot about Captain Marco Pabatto.
My father used to be in the same unit.
I've heard the story about
how Captain Pabatto once saved the life of an enemy pilot.
I really liked it.
Porco, how about if I kiss you!?
Like in a fairy tale where a princess breaks a curse on a prince who was changed into a frog.
Silly girl!
Save it for your first love!
Won't my kiss work?
You're a nice kid.
You make me feel comfortable,
and make me wish I was a human being again.
Now be a good girl and go to sleep.
Tell me your story and I will.
My story?
Well...
It was the last summer of the war.
We were flying on our usual patrol,
over the Adriatic Sea, heading to Istria.
Bernellini was flying on my right wing.
He was an old friend of mine,
who'd been married just two days before.
I was the matchmaker and his best man.
We couldn't get leave, so we returned to the base.
Planes were falling like flies, friend and foe alike.
I was being chased by three planes.
I had no time to worry about my friend.
In the end, I was the only one left from my unit.
But they never gave up chasing me.
I made a desperate effort to get away.
My hands and feet went numb,
and I grew dizzy.
I thought I was going to die.
Then suddenly, I saw the white sky.
White sky?
Yeah. It was like a flash.
It was so bright, it took me a while to realize that I was in a cloud.
I was worn out, and didn't have any power left... to control my plane.
Yet my plane continued to fly.
A cloud of planes...
Yeah.
It was calm,
and the sky was very beautiful,
with a line of clouds far above me
stretching out of sight.
Bernellini! You're alive!?
Bernellini! Wait! Where are you going!?
Bernellini! Don't go!
Are you going to leave Gina alone?
I'll go instead of you!
When I came to,
I was flying alone over the sea, almost touching it.
God said it wasn't your time yet, didn't he?
In my mind, I thought He might let me fly like that forever.
That wouldn't have been right!
You're a good guy, Porco!
The good guys are all dead already.
Besides, that might've been Hell inside that cloud.
Well, that's the end of my story. Now go to sleep.
Damn, they gave me crap.
I'm glad you came back alive,
because, I like you.
Good night!
Put your money where your mouth is!
Place your bets here!
Hey hey...
Fools. They make our fight into a carnival.
Are they all air pirates?
The scum of the Mediterranean:
gangs,
pirates, smugglers,
spies, undercover cops, even a few normal people.
This'll make me even more famous.
Ten minutes 'til start! Ten minutes 'til start!
All right!
This is a fight between Porco Rosso and Donald Curtis!
There are no special rules, however,
the first one to quit is a coward forever!
Shut up and get started! Get on with it!
No speeches!
Shut up!
Or I'll kill you all!
He'd be better off dropping a ten ton bomb.
This fight will determine the future of Miss Fio Piccolo.
So shut up!
Do you understand!?
Now let's have some applause!
Clap!
Let's get going.
Quiet, there are formalities to observe.
Now, both sides present your stakes.
Sit...
Thanks.
On the chair!
None of you have anything to say!?
Shake hands or something before you start!
No way. Pigs are clean animals.
Geez! He's hard to please.
Fio, after the fight is over we'll go straight to the church.
Don't worry.
My mother says you can get used to anything.
May we have a picture? We all took a bath!
Everybody, smile!
Smile!
Yes!
Black wins if it's over in under three minutes!
I wish they'd do this every month.
Fifteen seconds to go!
They're so cool...
Five seconds!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Zero!
Curtis is up first!
This is going to be a one-sided fight.
Give me those!
Porco, what are you doing!? Pull up!
He'd be shot if he climbed now.
It's very difficult for Curtis to shoot Porco when he's that low.
I know you want me to waste ammo.
Barrel roll!
The pig took Curtis' back!
Barrel roll?
That skill made him "The Ace Of The Adriatic".
Dammit!
Now!
Why doesn't he shoot!?
Is his machine gun broken!?
I understand.
The pig won't shoot until the end.
What?
The pig doesn't kill anybody.
For now, the American should be fine.
You got it! Shoot!
Oh, he didn't shoot yet...
See, I told you.
If the pig opened fire now, it would kill the American.
He's going to hit the engine with a few bullets after Curtis gets tired.
The fool thinks this isn't war!
Porco...
Are you teasing me or what!?
Come on!
Is your machine gun broken!?
You poor bastard!
They're coming this way!
You're teasing me.
Come on, pig!
Not this way! No!
He ditched the pig!
Fight somewhere else!
The pig is leaving vapor trails!
I've never before seen such an air fight.
Very impressive.
I'm ready for takeoff.
She'd better hurry or the fight will be over.
She's in her room and won't come out.
Does she want to go or not?
I want to see it.
"F to Gina of my heart. Warn the pig."
"Stop fooling around, the Air Force is coming."
"F"?
Must be Fieralli.
I'd better hurry!
Both of them are very tough!
They're just warming up!
Porco, hang in there!
Stupid pig.
I'm not giving Fio to a man like you.
OK, the pig took Curtis's tail!
It's all over!
Huh?
It's jammed...
You're finished!
Huh? What the...
Jammed.
You idiot!
You're finally out of ammo!
This is broken because of Fio's butt.
I'm not going to let... this fight end in a draw!
This isn't a Western.
You can't hit me!
Why you...
You really think it'll reach this far? Hi-ho, Silver!
You stinking pig!
Missed me!
Chicken!
You ducked!
This for love?
Shut up!
Looks like something's wrong.
Ah, they're coming!
They're back!
Wait, the stakes can't leave!
Wait you guys!
You fat pig!
You chicken cowboy!
Come on, bare hands!
Go back to the cows!
Porco, hold on!
Stand up, pig.
That's cheating!
Go, go!
Uppercut! Block!
All bets still stand!
Where's the betting table!?
Can't you fly any faster?
Impossible, the engine would blow.
Pilots are all stupid, aren't they?
Hey, Fio.
Did you see my punch?
I'm gonna take him down next round.
I'll take you down...
Porco, hang on!
I'll make prosciutto out of you!
Come on! You chicken!
You're... the chicken!
You chase all the women around you!
Choose Gina or Fio, one or the other!
What!?
You can't have both!
Gina...
Gina? Leave Gina out of this!
Gina loves you...
pig!
She sits in that garden...
and waits for...
you to come!
Porco!
The bell!
Count him out!
But look at him!
Uh oh, here comes the Italian Air Force.
You're unfair, a dirty liar.
Don't you understand you idiot.
I'm not lying!
You won't get Fio!
That's Gina!
It's an emergency signal!
The winner is whoever stands up first.
Please, let me through.
Gina, don't!
Marco? Marco can you hear me?
Do you want another girl to be unhappy?
Porco!
Porco, thank you!
Nothing to it.
OK, this party's over.
The Italian Air Force will be here any minute.
Everybody get out of here quickly!
Then stop by my club, drinks are on the house.
Everybody, let's go!
It's all over.
Hey boss! Come on!
Hurry up!
Shut up! We're observing formalities!
I don't like the pig, but I like you.
Be a good lady engineer.
Goodbye!
Thank you!
Remember to bathe sometimes!
Thank you, too, Mr. Curtis.
Next time I'll propose formally and not as a bet.
OK.
But I've already made up my mind.
You're getting on Gina's plane.
No!
Porco I'm going on your plane!
You said I'm your partner, didn't you!
Gina. Take her home, please.
You always do this. It's not fair.
I'm sorry.
You better go.
Let's go.
The Italian Air Force is finally here.
Do you want to help me?
I'm going to lead them off.
Your face! Wait!
Hey! Let me see your face!
That's your plane over there!
Just a peek!
After the flight from the Italian Air Force,
I returned to Milan.
I haven't seen Porco since.
Instead I've found a very good friend in Miss Gina.
Since the day of the fight there's been much turmoil,
but I still keep in touch with Miss Gina.
After I took over the Piccolo factory,
I made it a rule to spend summer vacations at the Hotel Adriano.
Miss Gina becomes more beautiful each year,
and there are many familiar faces.
Oh yeah.
Although he's not the President yet,
Mr. Curtis writes to me sometimes.
He misses the old times over the Adriatic Sea.
It's a secret between Miss Gina and me whether or not she ever won her gamble.
