I First Met Her in a Dream, or Something...

Sayaka Miki: She said what? Madoka Kaname: It doesn't make any sense, does it? Sayaka: And there I was thinking she was this awesome girl that it turns out she's a total psycho! Ugh! I hope she doesn't think acting like a weird transfer student is cool! That's so moe it makes me sick! [Puts head down on table.] Hitomi Shizuki: [To Madoka] This has to be a misunderstanding. Are you positive you've never met her before? Madoka: Hm...I guess the sensible answer would be "yes". Sayaka: [Lifts head] Okay, what do you mean by "sensible"? Either you met her or you didn't. Madoka: Well, it's like, you're gonna think I'm weird, but <u>I first met her in a dream...or something</u>. [Hitomi and Sayaka laugh.] Sayaka: [Jokingly] That's awesome! The anime character in you is popping out, too! Madoka: Come on! That's mean; this is really bugging me! Sayaka: I got it all figured out; you guys knew each other in a past life and fate has reached across time and space to bring you back together again! H

That Would Be Truly Wonderful

Mami Tomoe: Well, time to start lesson one of the magical girl experience. That's what I like to call it, anyway. I hope you're ready. Sayaka Miki: I don't know if it'll make a difference but, I brought this! [Slams a bat wrapped in cloth down on the table, frightening Madoka and Kyubey, and unwraps it.] I mean, it's better than not having anything, right? Mami: Well, let's say I'm glad you're going into it with that spirit. Sayaka: [To Madoka] How about you? What'd you bring? Madoka Kaname: Huh? Nothing, just this. [Presents a notebook with sketches of Madoka's idea of a magical girl costume along with sketches of Homura and Mami in their costumes.] Sayaka: Huh? Mami: Hm...? Madoka: I sorta thought it'd be good to have some costume ideas. Just in case. [Mami and Sayaka laugh much to Madoka's dismay.] Mami: [Stops laughing] Well, you certainly have the right spirit. Sayaka: [Still laughing] That's so awesome! I can't top that! [Mami continutes laughing.]

That Would Be Truly Wonderful

Madoka: Good morning! [Both Sayaka and Hitomi stop walking] Hitomi Shizuki: Oh, good morning. Sayaka: Hey, EH?! [Notices Madoka carrying Kyubey.] Kyubey: Good morning, Sayaka! Sayaka: U-uh... Hitomi: You look ill. Is something the matter? Sayaka: [Whispering to Madoka] Looks like we're the only ones who can see him (Kyubey), huh? Madoka: I guess so. Hitomi: What are you...? Sayaka: Nah, it's nothing. Well, let's go. [Sayaka and Hitomi resume walking.] Madoka: [Through Kyubey's mind. To Sayaka.] We can communicate like this. Just by thinking to each other. Sayaka: [Through Kyubey's mind. To Madoka. Surprised] Huh?! You mean we already have magical powers? For reals? Kyubey: [Through his mind. To Sayaka.] No, not yet. I'm letting you communicate your thoughts through me. It's kind of a handy trick, don't you think? Sayaka: [Through Kyubey's mind. To Kyubey.] It feels sort of...weird. Hitomi: [Aloud. To Madoka and Sayaka.] Excuse me. What's going on between you? Why do you keep staring at

That Would Be Truly Wonderful

Sayaka: Hitomi, hey. Sorry, but we sort of have a couple of errands to run so... Hitomi: Oh, something private? [Referring to what she thinks to be a devious activity that happened the day before between Sayaka and Madoka.] Madoka: Well, uh... Hitomi: I'm so jealous! I guess it's true what they say that "two's company"...and "three's a crowd"! [Runs off] Sayaka: You've got it all wrong...again...

That Would Be Truly Wonderful

[Thinking] It's still really hard to figure out what I'd wish for. It's not something I could put my finger on that easily, but Mami tries so hard to save people...and she looks so amazing doing it, too. If someone like me could do that, go around helping people who are in trouble, then I think <u>that would be...truly wonderful</u>.

I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore

Sayaka Miki: Whoa! Mami, you are so unbelievably cool! Mami Tomoe: This isn't supposed to be fun. What we're doing is very dangerous. Don't forget that, okay? Sayaka: Roger that! [Kyubey shows up and runs towards the three and climbs onto Madoka's shoulder.] Madoka Kaname: How come the Grief Seed didn't pop out this time? Kyubey: It wasn't a witch. It was a familiar acting without its master. They don't carry Grief Seeds. Madoka: Oh, so that wasn't a witch. Sayaka: It seems a shame to fight it and not get anything. Mami: We can't really let familiars do what they want. If we did, they'd eventually become the same as the witch they split off from.

I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore

Madoka: Mami, I uh... Mami: Yes? Madoka: I've been thinking really hard about all the different wishes I could make. Mami: Do you have a favorite? Madoka: Yes...but you're probably gonna think it's naïve and get upset with me... Mami: Let's find out: what's the wish? Madoka: Well...there's nothing special about me...I've never been good at school and I've never had any talents...I'm scared that this is the way my life's gonna stay. Always asking for help and not being able to help when people need it...I can't stand thinking about it...But then I met you, Mami. And you showed me what it's like to stand up for people and really help them. And then, when I found out that I might be able to do the same thing, I don't think I've been happier in my life. And that's my wish, 'cause if I could become a magical girl, it'd be a dream come true for me. I might not be good at anything, but if I could help out people like you, I could be proud of the way I live. That's the best thing I could wish

I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore

[Thinking] I feel so light. This is the first time I've ever felt this happy during battle. <u>I'm not afraid of anything anymore</u>. Because...I'm not alone anymore!

I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore

Mami: Have either of you decided what to wish for yet? Sayaka: Uh-uh. [To Madoka] How bout you? Mami: [Giggles] That doesn't surprise me. It's hard to think under pressure. Madoka: Maybe it would help if you told us what you wished for? [Mami stops walking, which causes Sayaka and Madoka to stop, and lets out a sigh.] I didn't mean to be nosy! It's fine if you don't wanna say! Mami: For me, it was different. [Cuts to an inaudible scene of a vehicle accident with Mami in one of the cars with noticeable injuries and Kyubey sitting at one of the windows.] I didn't have the luxury of thinking about it first. It's not that I regret my decision. I'm alive, after all. And I think the life I have now is better than being dead. But if you have the chance to think really hard about what you want, you should take as much time as you need. That wasn't an option for me. Sayaka: Uh, hey Mami. I was wondering: if you make a wish, does it have to be for yourself? Mami: [Confused] Huh? Sayaka: Let's sa

Miracles and Magic Are Real

Sayaka Miki: What you listening to? Kyosuke Kamijo: "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair". Sayaka: Oh, that's Debussy. It's a beautiful song. [Pause] Uh, you know what? It's kinda funny but, I don't think people really see me as the type who'd listen to classical music. And whenever I can name a piece correctly? Seriously, you should see their faces. It's like they're impressed I know about that stuff. [Pause] Everything I know about it is 'cause of you. Seriously though, I would've never even listened to classical music ever...if it wasn't for you, you know. Kyosuke: Hey, Sayaka? Sayaka: Huh? Yeah? Kyosuke: Cut it out. Stop torturing me already. Why do you keep coming here? You think I like listening to this music? It's like you're trying to hurt me. Sayaka: [Shocked] But Kyousuke, I-I thought you loved music? Kyosuke: [Angry] I don't wanna hear this crap anymore! What's the point if I can't play?! All I can do is listen! I-I just...I just- [Kyosuke slams his injured left hand onto one of t

Miracles and Magic Are Real

Madoka Kaname: I keep thinking "if only I listened to you before". Homura Akemi: If you had, it wouldn't have changed Mami Tomoe's fate. [Madoka sighs] I was able to change yours, though. That's good. So at least I saved one person. I'm glad about that. Madoka: Um, you know, Homura, I get the feeling you're a veteran at this, too. I mean, like Mami, but different. Homura: Perhaps. I can't deny it. Madoka: And I guess...you've seen lots of people die horribly, haven't you? Homura: I have. Madoka: How many? Homura: I gave up counting long ago. Madoka: And her (Mami's) place...Is it just gonna stay like that? Homura: Most likely. She didn't really have any family to speak of...and it'll be a very long time before she's reported missing. Madoka: Then...no one's gonna notice Mami's dead? Homura: It can't be helped. If you die in a labyrinth, your body stays there. That means in this world, she'll be considered a missing person forever. It's a fate all magical girls can look forward to event

There's No Way I'll Ever Regret It

[Thinking] Hey, Mami. See that? My wish has been granted. <u>There's no way I'll ever regret it</u>. And right now...this is the happiest moment of my life.

This Just Can't Be Right

Kyoko Sakura: We can go all out up here if we want! Come on, give me your best shot! Madoka Kaname: Sayaka! No, don't! Sayaka Miki: What are you doing? You shouldn't be here! This has nothing to do with you, so stay back! Madoka: Come on, think about what you're doing! <u>This just can't be right!</u> Kyoko: [Points her spear at Sayaka.] Ha! The annoying bitch has an annoying friend! Go figure! Homura Akemi: [Appearing suddenly behind Kyoko.] Well I wonder what kind of friends you'd have then. [Kyoko is surprised and looks behind to see Homura there.] What are you doing? I thought we agreed you'd leave Sayaka Miki alone? Kyoko: Like your wimpy idea is gonna teach her any manners! Besides, it's not like she's backing down! Homura: [Steps forward] I'll take her on then. But you stay out of it then Kyoko: Hmph. You've got until I finish eating this [Referring to the pocky stick in her mouth.], then it's on! Homura: That's plenty of time. Sayaka: [Angry] It won't be that easy! [Prepares to

Can You Face Your True Feelings?

Sayaka Miki: [Confused] Okay...What'd you wanna talk about? Hitomi Shizuki: I want to talk about love. I'll explain: there's something I haven't told you or Madoka, but I can't stay silent any longer. Sayaka: Huh? Oh, okay. Hitomi: For a long time now, I...I've always liked Kyousuke Kamijo, but now I'm in love with him Sayaka: O-Oh, you are, huh? [Pause] I never would have guessed, Hitomi. That's awesome! I hope Kyousuke knows just how lucky he is! Hitomi: You've known Kyousuke for a while. Weren't you friends since childhood? Sayaka: U-Uh, yeah. Sort of. We hang out together every now and then... Hitomi: And it's nothing more than that? [Sayaka gives her an unsure look.] I've thought long and hard about this. I can't lie to myself any longer. So how bout you? I need to know <u>can you face your true feelings</u> for him, Sayaka? Sayaka: U-Uh, true feelings? What do you mean? Hitomi: I take my friendship with you very seriously and I don't want to get into a situation where you think I

Can You Face Your True Feelings?

Sayaka: [Crazily laughing] It's true! I can block out the pain! I don't feel any pain anymore! Madoka Kaname: [Scared] Stop...Please...Stop...

I Was Stupid, So Stupid

Homura Akemi: Why can't you understand you don't have a luxury to fool around? You should only hunt witches. Sayaka Miki: Shut up. I don't need your advice. Homura: Your Soul Gem is at its limit. You need to purify it now. Use this. [Homura tosses her a Grief Seed which Sayaka promptly kicks away with her heel shortly after.] Sayaka: What is this? What're you up to? Homura: Don't be stupid. You're in no position to question my help. Or do you just hate the idea of it? Sayaka: Well, I'm gonna be a different kind of magical girl; that's what I decided. I'm not gonna screw anyone over or take anyone for granted. And I won't associate with anyone who does. I don't need anyone's thanks. I'll be the only magical girl around who doesn't use her magic for herself. Homura: Well, then. You are going to die. Sayaka: So what? If I'm gonna die, it's gonna be when I can't kill witches anymore. No one's gonna need me anyway, right? I'm okay with that. The world doesn't need a magical girl if she can'

I Was Stupid, So Stupid

Kyoko: Finally, I found ya. [Sits down beside her and opens a can of chips.] So how much longer are you gonna do the stubborn thing, huh? [Starts eating the chips] Sayaka: I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. Kyoko: Seriously? Doesn't sound like you at all. Sayaka: [Sighs] Yeah, you're right. I guess I just don't care anymore. I can't remember...what I thought was so important; what was worth protecting, you know? It's all a blank now. Doesn't make sense anymore. Kyoko: Hey, come on. Sayaka: [Reveals her soul gem which is extremely corrupted.] Balance means good and bad have to zero themselves out. Right? That's what you said...or something like it. I think I understand what you mean now. The good this is I did save a few people, but the bad thing is I got angrier and my heart filled up with envy and hate. It got so bad I even hurt my best friend. Kyoko: Sayaka, your soul gem! Sayaka: For all the happiness you wish for someone, someone else gets cursed with equal misery. That's how i

I Was Stupid, So Stupid

On this planet, you call females who have yet to become adults "girls". It makes sense then that since you'll eventually become witches, you should be called "magical girls".

I'd Never Allow That To Happen

[Thinking] Hey, God. If you're there, my life sucked. So for once, please, let me have a happy dream.

I'd Never Allow That To Happen

Madoka Kaname: Hey, Kyoko? Kyoko: Yeah? Madoka: I feel bad I can't help. Everyone else has always done the fighting for me...Anyway, I sort of feel like a coward. Kyoko: Why the heck would you ever want to become a magical girl? Madoka: Why? Uh... Kyoko: Uh-uh. Don't underestimate this stuff. This ain't a job anybody can do. Madoka: But... Kyoko: If you get to eat good food every day and live a happy life with your family, why would you give that up if you're not sure it's what you really want? You thinking about becoming a magical girl on some stupid whim? <u>I'd never allow that to happen</u>. Hell, I'd kick your ass before you could. If you do this, then you're putting your life in danger. The only people who should do this are the ones who've got no other choice. Anybody else who sticks their nose in it is just messing around. And that's dumb. Madoka: You think so, huh? Kyoko: But you never know, right? Maybe there will come a time when your back's gonna be up against the wall and

I'd Never Allow That To Happen

Madoka: Sayaka?! [Kyoko looks away from Madoka in regret.] Sayaka! What happened?! Where's her Soul Gem?! What happened to her?! Homura Akemi: Her Soul Gem disappeared and transformed into a Grief Seed. A witch hatched and it vanished. [Madoka collapses to the ground in shock.] Madoka: No...It can't be... Homura: It is. That's the final secret of the Soul Gems. [Pulls out her Soul Gem and shows it to Madoka.] When our Gems get too tainted and turn completely black, we transform into Grief Seeds. Then we're reborn as witches. See? This is the destiny which no magical girl can escape. Madoka: It's not true... [Runs over to the two.] It can't be true...Right? [A train passes by creating a short pause. Madoka then collapses again in dismay.] But...how...? She...she only wanted to protect people from witches...She wanted to be a hero...That's why she became a magical girl...Why...? Homura: Her curse became as powerful as her wish. It was only a matter of time, really. And from now on, for e

I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore

Madoka Kaname: This is it. It's over for us, too. Homura Akemi: Do you have any Grief Seeds? [Madoka shakes her head.] 'Kay. [Pause] I've got an idea. How about we both become witches? And we can tear up this rotten world together. Until there's no more evil, no more sadness, until there's nothing left. We'll break and smash and pound it into dust. What if we did that? [Tearfully] Wouldn't that be great? Madoka: [Madoka pushes Sayaka's grief seed to Homura's Soul Gem.] Sorry, I lied. I guess I still had one left. Homura: But why?! You should have used it! Madoka: It's better this way. I want you to do something that I couldn't do. You can go back in time, right Homura? You can go back and change everything, so that we don't end up like this. Homura: [Tearfully] Okay... Madoka: And then save me from being stupid. From getting tricked. Don't let Kyubey fool me again. Homura: I swear I'll save you! I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. I'll come back again and again and again. I'll

I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore

[Narrating] I'll do it over. No matter how many times it takes. I'll relive it over and over again. I will find the way out. The one path that will save me from this destiny of despair. Madoka; my one and my only friend.

I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore

[Thinking] <u>I won't rely on anyone anymore!</u> I don't care if no one understands! I won't let Madoka fight! I'll destroy every last witch by myself if I have to! And this time...I'll defeat Walpurgisnacht...once and for all!

The Only Thing I Have Left To Guide Me

Madoka Kaname: [Looking at a picture of Walpurgisnacht on the wall.] That's Walpurgisnacht isn't it? Kyoko told me about it. She said you were teaming up. She also said it was so strong that one magical girl couldn't beat it by herself. Is this where you're getting ready? [Homura doesn't respond.] The city's in danger, isn't it? Homura Akemi: This witch is different from the others. It's so powerful it doesn't need to hide in a labyrinth. And when it appears, thousands of people are going to die. Just like that. Since ordinary humans can't see it, they'll think the destruction was caused by an earthquake, tornado, or other disaster. Madoka: : Okay, then it has to be destroyed no matter what. Now that Kyoko's dead, you're alone. You're the only magical girl left and you're going to need someone's help to beat it. What if I- Homura: I can handle it by myself. Maybe Kyoko couldn't do it, but I can certainly defeat Walpurgisnacht on my own. To tell you the truth, I never really needed her

My Very Best Friend

Madoka Kaname: Homura, I am sorry...but I...wanna be a magical girl. Homura Akemi: Madoka...don't do it... Madoka: I finally figured out what I want to wish for. I know what I want now more than anything else. And I'm ready to trade my life for it with no regrets. Homura: But you can't! If you do then...everything I fought for...it's all for nothing! [Begins to cry. Madoka walks over to her to comfort her.] Madoka: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You've been protecting me for a long time...and I'll never forget that. I know you're the reason that I'm the person I am today. I'm so sorry. I really want this; it's the answer I've been looking for. I swear. I promise I won't let your efforts be in vain. Believe me, Homura. Homura: Madoka... [Madoka leaves Homura and faces Kyubey.] Kyubey: You (Madoka) are the center of karmic destiny from many different timelines, so no matter how enormous your wish it most definitely will come true. Madoka: You sure it will? Kyubey: Of course. Madoka Kaname, wha

My Very Best Friend

Mami Tomoe: Madoka, do you realize how scary that wish you made was? Madoka: Sort of. Mami: You'll be fighting an endless battle; one that stretches from the past to the future for all eternity. You'll never be the same. You won't be able to exist as a physical entity anymore. Dying would be a kinder fate. For the rest of time, you'll live on as an entity whose sole purpose is to destroy witches. Madoka: I know, and I'm ready. If someone ever tells me it's a mistake to have hope, well then I'll just tell them they're wrong and I'll keep telling them until they believe; no matter how many times it takes. Kyoko Sakura: Sounds good to me. If you think you can do it, do it. I mean, you found your reason to fight, yeah? And you ain't running away anymore, right? So, there's nothing holding you back! Anyway, it's time to get your ass in gear and go full steam ahead! Madoka: [Chuckles] Thanks a lot, Kyoko. Mami: If that's what you really want, it's time you got this back. [Hands Madoka her no

Film: Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion

We pray for hope, embrace curses, and protect you from the dark. We're magical girls. We traded our souls for our powers and a destiny of battle; a destiny which ends in oblivion. For the only way to escape our despair is to vanish from this world. The end will come for all of us, so we continue our fight and wait for the Law of Cycles to lead us away. In this broken world, doomed to repeat its tragedy and hatred, I dreamt of someone I knew...and saw her familiar smile again.

Film: Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion

It's true. I'm not a magical girl anymore. [Points a gun at her Soul Gem and repeatedly shoots it until it shatters.] How could this happen? How? Why? Why would I end up as this? When did it even happen? When did I... BECOME A WITCH?!

Film: Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion

Kyubey: I'm sure you didn't really want to know the truth. And yet you couldn't bear it if you didn't seek it out. Human curiosity is quite fascinating. And illogical. Considering you were the one searching, I was certain you'd uncover the truth eventually...Homura Akemi. Homura: Incubator...I should have known. This could only be your doing. Kyubey: Naturally. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but you're probably wondering where your body and soul are? Would you like to know? Permit me to show you. [Kyubey shows telepathically to Homura that she is in an isolated space.] This is outside the false Mitakihara City. This is the real you in the real world. Homura: [Shocked] How? Kyubey: Simple: we developed an isolation field to completely contain your Soul Gem. We were curious to see what happened to a tainted Soul Gem in a closed environment. It had to be free from all external influences or the experiment wouldn't work. Homura: [Angry] Really? Kyubey: What is it that cleanses magical girls

Film: Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion

Kyubey: The world is being rewritten. Does this mean a new principle has been born into this universe? Homura: You don't remember the last time this happened, do you? Well, this is the second time I've seen this. Kyubey: What's happening? Homura Akemi, what are you meddling in? You're changing something, but what?! Homura: [Chuckles] Kyubey: I don't believe it. Your tainted Soul Gem should have disappeared with your soul, but it hasn't! Why? Homura: Because I remembered why I repeated time and suffered over and over again; my feelings for Madoka, they run so deep that even pain has become precious to me. And as for my Soul Gem? A curse isn't what's tainted it. Kyubey: Then what is? Homura: Something you can't understand, Incubator. It is the pinnacle of all human emotion. More passion than hope, much deeper than despair. Love! Kyubey: Then...what are you? You're not a magical girl anymore, but you're not transforming into a witch either. Homura: You're right. I'm not a magical girl or

Film: Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion

Sayaka: [Angry] Hey! Do you have any idea what you've done?! Homura: I do, but if you'd like to share your thoughts, please, enlighten me. Sayaka: Okay. You broke off a piece of the Law of Cycles! It's the only salvation us magical girls had! Homura: I only took a tiny sliver of it, that's all. The piece that used to be Madoka - before she ceased to exist. For some reason, you were all pulled in with her. And now you can't return from where you came from, either. Sayaka: You have no right to screw everything up like this! Homura: I'm an existence called "evil" now. And if evil is supposed to disrupt the divine and be a force of chaos, it's only natural for me to upset the laws of a god. Sayaka: Oh, yeah? What'll you do next? Destroy everything? Homura: After all the Wraiths have been wiped out, perhaps I will. When that days comes, I suppose I can be your enemy, then. The question is: will you be able to stand up against me? [Claps her hands, altering Sayaka's memories.] You're having
