Maho Shojo Madoka Magica

[repeated line]

Mami Tomoe:
Tiro Finale!

Sayaka Miki:
[Sayaka overhears two men talking trash about their girlfriends] Hey you! I want to know more about your girl.

Male Passanger 1:
What the?

Sayaka Miki:
I want to know more about the girl you guys were just talking about. Tell me more about her.

Male Passanger 1:
You're like in Middle School kid, you should be home in bed.

Sayaka Miki:
Your girlfriend, I best she loves you and tries really hard to make you happy, doesn't she? I bet you know she does don't you? But instead of saying thanks, you sit there calling her a b*tch, then dump her when she gets old.

Male Passanger 1:
You know this kid?

Male Passanger 2:
No.

Sayaka Miki:
Hey... Is this world even worth protecting? What have I been fighting for all this time? Answer me. Right now! come on tell me, or else! [Sayaka is overwhelmed by power]

Madoka Kaname:
[Homura has just shot Kyubey] What'd you do? You didn't have to kill him!

Homura Akemi:
You idiot! Why do you do that? Why do you always sacrifice your self like that? Calling yourself useless and meaningless, stop treating yourself like you don't matter! Why don't you ever think about all the people who love you! Stop being such a fool, there are so many people who'd be sad if you died! Why can't you understand that? What about the people who are trying so hard to protect you?

Madoka Kaname:
[Homura breaks down and sobs] Homura! I get the feeling we've done this before... Is that true? Have the two of us met before?

Homura Akemi:
I-I can't... [whispers] Tell you...

Madoka Kaname:
I'm sorry. I have to go find Sayaka now.

Homura Akemi:
Wait, Sayaka Miki is...

Madoka Kaname:
I'm sorry. [Madoka leaves]

Homura Akemi:
No wait! Madoka! [Homura cries]

Kyoko Sakura:
[Kyoko comes upon Sayaka] Finally I found you. So how much longer are you gonna do this stubborn thing huh? [Kyoko eats her chips]

Sayaka Miki:
I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble.

Kyoko Sakura:
[between bites] Seriously? Doesn't sound like you at all.

Sayaka Miki:
Yeah, you're right. I guess I just don't care anymore. I can't remember what was so important. What was worth protecting, you know? It's all a blank now. Doesn't make sense anymore.

Kyoko Sakura:
Hey come on...

Sayaka Miki:
[Sayaka reveals her corrupted Soul Gem] 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 thing is, I did save a few people, but the bad thing is, I got angrier and my heart filled up with envy and hate. I even hurt my best friend.

Kyoko Sakura:
Sayaka, your Soul Gem...

Sayaka Miki:
For all the happiness you wish for someone, someone else gets cursed with equal misery. That's how it works for Magical Girls, and that's how it is for me. I was so stupid, so stupid. [Sayaka's gem corrupts into a Grief Seed, a powerful energy throws Kyoko back]

Kyoko Sakura:
[calling] Sayaka!

Homura Akemi:
Why are you doing this to your self? Why won't you trust me, can't you see I just want to help you?

Sayaka Miki:
Why don't I trust you? Maybe it's because I can tell what you really are. Maybe I know you're lying. You look like someone who's given up on everything. When you talk you use empty words. In fact you're doing it now. You say you wanna help me but I know that's what you're really thinking. You're not fooling anyone, uh-uh.

Homura Akemi:
Do you realize you're just making Madoka suffer more and more?

Sayaka Miki:
Madoka? This has nothing to do with her.

Homura Akemi:
You're wrong, everything has to do with her. [Homura transforms into her Magical Girl form] . You're sharp. Yes, you're right about me. I don't give a damn if you live or die, I don't care. I just don't want Madoka to see you like this, as you destroy your self. [Homura walks up closer to Sayaka] If you don't let me help you now you're going to die either way. You see, if you make her suffer any more, then I will... Kill you, right here right now. Sayaka Miki.

Kyubey:
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.

Homura Akemi:
I know what you really are and I know what you are planning.

Kyubey:
Aha, that's why you've been trying so hard to spoil my plans. Do you want to change Madoka Kaname's fate that badly?

Homura Akemi:
I do and I'm going to do whatever it takes to stop you, Kyubey. Or should I say, Incubator?

Madoka Kaname:
Sayaka, you can't fight like that. You're lying if you say it doesn't hurt. It hurt just watching you, just because you can't feel the pain doesn't mean it's okay to hurt your self.

Sayaka Miki:
I don't have the nack for it. If I don't fight like that I can't win.

Madoka Kaname:
Even if you win every battle, it's not good for you. Can't you see that?

Sayaka Miki:
Then what is good for me? I've been turned into a monster, how can anything ever be good for me again?

Madoka Kaname:
Sayaka...

Sayaka Miki:
All I can do know is kill witches, that's my new purpose in life. I'm useless otherwise. I'm just a walking corpse pretending like I'm still alive. Who's gonna help me now? The way I am who'd want to? Why even think about?

Madoka Kaname:
But I wanna help. I just don't know what to do to make you happy again.

Sayaka Miki:
Then why don't you fight for a change? Wanna to know what Kyubey told me? You got more potential than anyone. You could be any witch, no problem and you wouldn't even suffer like I did.

Madoka Kaname:
But I... I just...

Sayaka Miki:
If you really want to help me, you should try putting your self in my shoes for a change, but you can't of course not. You won't even give up your humanity out of a pity for a friend!

Madoka Kaname:
It's not that I won't it's just...

Sayaka Miki:
You can do anything but you won't. You just sit there because it's okay if I'm the one who's suffering! Don't act like you care, it's obvious you don't!

Madoka Kaname:
[Sayaka starts to leave] Sayaka wait.

Sayaka Miki:
Don't follow me. [Sayaka runs off alone and starts crying] I'm so stupid! How could I say those things? I'm hopelessly stupid!

Kyoko Sakura:
Miracles aren't free you know. If you wish for something good to happen a whole lot of bad stuff is gonna happen too. I guess that's how the world stays in balance, good bad, everything zeros out.

Sayaka Miki:
[maddeningly] It's true I can block out the pain. I don't feel any pain anymore!

Madoka Kaname:
[quivering] Stop... please... stop!

Kyoko Sakura:
[Sayaka has thrown away an apple Kyoko has offered] I see you wasting food like that again, I will kill you!

Madoka Kaname:
[Madoka stands in Mami's vacant apartment and starts crying] I'm sorry for being so weak. I'm sorry.

Homura Akemi:
This is a fate all magical girls can look forward too, eventually.

Madoka Kaname:
[Madoka starts to whimper and cry] That's awful. She was all alone and she fought to protect everyone and now you're saying no one will notice she's gone? That's horrible.

Homura Akemi:
It's a condition of the contract we make in exchange for our powers. We're not protectors. We fight for the sake of our wishes and this is how we pay for them. If we die and no one remembers us, I guess that's just the way it is.

Madoka Kaname:
I'll remember her. I'll never forget her, never. I promise!

Homura Akemi:
I see. Mami Tomoe is lucky, she'd be happy to hear that. How I envy her.

Madoka Kaname:
I won't forget you either, I swear I'll never forget you Homura and how you saved us yesterday, I'm always going to remember you. [pause] Homura?

Homura Akemi:
You're too kind. Remember this and take it to heart, kindness sometimes leads to even greater tragedy.

Madoka Kaname:
You know Homura, I get the feeling you're a veteran at this too. Like Mami but different.

Homura Akemi:
Perhaps, I can't deny it.

Madoka Kaname:
And I guess you've seen a lot of people die horribly, haven't you?

Homura Akemi:
I have.

Madoka Kaname:
How many?

Homura Akemi:
I gave up counting long ago.

Sayaka Miki:
Miracles, magic, they are real.

Sayaka Miki:
There's no way I'll ever regret it.

Madoka Kaname:
[Madoka and Homura lay together in a ruined city] This is it. It's over for us too.

Homura Akemi:
Do you have any grief seeds?

[Madoka shakes her head]

Homura Akemi:
'Kay.

Homura Akemi:
I've got an idea, how about we become witches? And we can tear up this rotten world together. Until there is no more evil, no more sadness, until there's nothing left. We'll break and smash and pound it into dust.

Homura Akemi:
But if we did that, wouldn't that be great?

Madoka Kaname:
[Madoka pushes a grief seed to Homura's Soul Gem] Sorry, I lied. I guess I still have one left.

Homura Akemi:
But why, you should have used it!

Madoka Kaname:
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 Akemi:
Okay!

Madoka Kaname:
And then save me from being stupid. From being tricked. Don't let Kyubey fool me again.

Homura Akemi:
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 save you, I swear!

Madoka Kaname:
Thank you!

[Madoka whales and fidgets in pain]

Madoka Kaname:
Can I ask one more thing? Don't let... me turn into a witch. There's awful, horrible things in this world, I know that now. But there's a lot of things worth protecting too.

Homura Akemi:
Madoka!

Madoka Kaname:
Finally, you called me by first name. I'm so happy.

[Homura whales as she pulls out her gun and shoots Madoka]

Kyoko Sakura:
[after the girls were forced to kill Sayaka's witch form] Sayaka... Dammit! How could this happen?

Madoka Kaname:
It's awful! This isn't right it's horrible!

Homura Akemi:
[Kyoko is shot dead, Homura is binded by Mami] Miss Tomoe?

Mami Tomoe:
[Mami is aiming her rifle at Homura] If Soul Gems give birth to witches, then we have no choice but to die! Both me and you!

Homura Akemi:
Stop it!

Madoka Kaname:
[Mami is shot dead by Madoka] I don't want this! I can't take it anymore! [Madoka cries]

Homura Akemi:
It's okay, we can finish this. The two of us can defeat Walpurgisnacht on our own. [Madoka and Homura nod]

Homura Akemi:
No one will believe me about the future. No one will accept the truth about the future. I know what to do now. I won't rely on anyone anymore. I don't care if no one understands. I won't let Madoka fight. I'll destroy every last witch by my self if I have to. And this time I'll defeat Walpurgisnacht once and for all.

Homura Akemi:
I'll do it over, no matter how many times it takes. I'll re live it over and over again. I will find a way out. The one path that will save you from this destiny of despair. Madoka my one and my only friend. I don't care because if it's for you, I'll stay trapped in this endless maze... Forever.

Kyubey:
When Madoka transformed that was really amazing wasn't it. I never had any doubt that she'd become the most powerful magical girl in the world. But I never dreamed she'd take down Walpurgisnacht with one shot.

Homura Akemi:
Did you know what would happen, afterwards?

Kyubey:
Her fate was bound to happen sooner or later. She was the strongest of all magical girls and she destoryed her greatest enemy. It's only natural she'd turn into the wickedest witch of them all. And in her current state I'm estimate it will take her no longer than ten days to destroy the planet. Oh well, it's humanity's problem now. We've pretty much filled our quota and have more than enough energy. [Homura turns to leave] Aren't you going to fight her?

Homura Akemi:
No, my fight is somewhere else.

Kyubey:
Homura Akemi... You're a - [Kyubey is cut off as Homura time leaps]

Madoka Kaname:
[the first fight scene from the first episode is recreated] It's horrible.

Kyubey:
You can't help it. One person can't handle this alone. But she knew that and came anyway.

Madoka Kaname:
No, this isn't right, it's too much for her!

Homura Akemi:
No, Madoka don't listen to anything it says!

Kyubey:
If she gives up, it's over. But you have the power to change this destiny. All this tragedy all this destruction, you can change it if you want. The power to do so lies within you.

Madoka Kaname:
I can change it?

Homura Akemi:
It's trying to trick you, don't listen to it!

Madoka Kaname:
I can change it? Even someone like me can do something to help. Can I really change how this ends?

Kyubey:
Of course you can. Just make a contract with me. And become a Magical Girl.

Homura Akemi:
[Madoka pauses to think and looks like she's ready to make a contract] NOOOOOOO!

Homura Akemi:
[crying and sobbing over Madoka's body] Why? Even if you were going to get killed all along? It wasn't worth saving me. If you're not alive. I want you back!

Kyubey:
Is that really waht you want, Homura Akemi? Would you trade your soul to have a wish like that to come true? If there's something you want badly and you're willing to accept a destiny battling witches, than I can help you get what you want.

Homura Akemi:
If I make a contract with you, would you really grant me any wish?

Kyubey:
Absolutely. You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine.

Homura Akemi:
[meekly] I wish... [confidently] I wish I could meet miss Kaname all over again. But this time instead of her protecting me, I want to be strong enough to protect her!

Kyubey:
The contract is complete. Your wish have overcome entropy. Go now. Go and unleash your new magical power.

Homura Akemi:
A second later and you'd most certainly be dead. Never forget what happened here. This is what it means to be a magical girl.

Sayaka Miki:
[Homura picks up the grief seed] Give it back. Give it back. It's hers. It's Mami's. It belongs to her! You can't have it, it belongs to Mami!

Homura Akemi:
You're right. But this can only belong to a magical girl, therefor, none of you has any right to touch it.

Mami Tomoe:
I feel so light. This is the first time I feel so happy during battle. I'm not afraid of anything any more. Because I'm not alone any more.

Mami Tomoe:
Tiro Finale.

Madoka Kaname:
Maybe it would help if you told us what you wish for. [Mami pauses] I don't mean to be nosy, it's fine if you don't want to.

Mami Tomoe:
For me it was different. 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 had the chance to think about what you really want, you should take as much time as you want. That wasn't an option for me.

Sayaka Miki:
Hey Mami I was wondering if you make a wish, does it have to be for your self?

Mami Tomoe:
Huh?

Sayaka Miki:
Let's and this is just an example okay, say that there was someone who was having a way worse time than I was would it be bad if I used my wish to help him out?

Madoka Kaname:
Are you talking about Kyouske?

Sayaka Miki:
It's just an example I'm not talking about anyone!

Kyubey:
You can wish for whatever you want, there's no rule that says you have to be the one that benefits from it. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

Mami Tomoe:
Actually that might not be the best idea. If you use your wish to grant someone else's you should be careful to know exactly why you're doing it. Are you doing it for someone elses benefit, or the opposite? Your doing it for someone else's everlasting gratitude. The motive behind a wish is what matters most, you know.

Sayaka Miki:
That's kind of harsh, I was just asking.

Mami Tomoe:
I am sorry. But I had to say it now before it was too late. If you're not 100% sure why you're doing it, you'll most defenatley regret it later.

Homura Akemi:
Don't you even care? You do know you're leading innocent people into danger don't you?

Mami Tomoe:
What are you talking about? Kyubey chose them, they're apart of this now.

Homura Akemi:
You're steering them into becoming magical girls.

Mami Tomoe:
And I guess you don't like that?

Homura Akemi:
No, especially since Madoka Kaname's involved.

Mami Tomoe:
Uh-hu. I see. You've noticed it to have you, her incredible potential?

Homura Akemi:
I won't allow it, she won't become like us.

Mami Tomoe:
Afraid of someone coming stronger coming along to challenge you? That kind of thinking is only for losers.

Homura Akemi:
I don't want to fight but you leave me no choice.

Mami Tomoe:
Then just make sure you and I never see each other again. We're through talking after tonight. Next time you can bet we'll have it out.

Madoka Kaname:
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 her self. Is this where you're getting ready? The city's in danger isn't it.

Homura Akemi:
This witch is different from the others. It's so strong 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 Kaname:
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 Akemi:
I can handle it by my self. 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 help. I just agreed so she wouldn't feel bad.

Madoka Kaname:
Is that true? I want to believe you, I do. I don't know why but - I guess I-I guess I don't want to think you'd lie to me. But I don't think you're being honest with me right now. And I don't think you're gonna be all right on your own.

Homura Akemi:
How can I be honest with you, you wouldn't believe me anyway.

Madoka Kaname:
Homura...

Homura Akemi:
The thing is... I'm... You and me... We're not even from the same time! [Homura runs and hugs Madoka] The truth is, I'm from the future. I've met you over and over and every time in every time I've watched you die. What do I have to do to save you? What do I have to do to change your fate? I kept doing this month over again searching for the answer.

Madoka Kaname:
But you... [Madoka quivers] .

Homura Akemi:
[Homura grips Madoka tighter] I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense. I'm scaring you aren't I? I mean you barely know me. I just started going to your school so it's not like you really know me. But I know you, I know your soul... [Homura starts crying] . Everything's messed up. The more I redo this time the further apart we get. My feelings words nothing gets through to you. I'm out of options. I don't know what to do anymore.

Madoka Kaname:
Homura...

Homura Akemi:
It's the one thing I wished for. It's how it started. And know it's the only thing I have left to guide me. And it's okay if you don't understand anything I'm saying. But please, please let me protect you.

Hitomi Shizuki:
Excuse me what is going between you? Why do you keep staring at each other?

Madoka Kaname:
Huh well it's...

Hitomi Shizuki:
I can't believe it just by staring at each other, you know what the other is thinking? But for two people to become that intimate after one night... What did you do after I left yesterday?

Sayaka Miki:
I can't believe she's going there.

Madoka Kaname:
Well actually lots of things happened, but...

Hitomi Shizuki:
That's enough you can't be serious, you're both girls! Girls can't love girls! [Hitomi runs off hysterical] Girls can't love girls, girls can't love girls!

Sayaka Miki:
Hey wait you forgot your bag!

Madoka Kaname:
What's wrong with her? Hitomi's acting just like you today.

Sayaka Miki:
What the heck is that supposed to mean?

Sayaka Miki:
Back for more, huh?

Homura Akemi:
No, I haven't come to fight. I wanted to kill it, before it made contact with Madoka Kaname. It's to late for that now. Well now what, are you going to become a magical girl?

Madoka Kaname:
I uh...

Sayaka Miki:
Yeah right, like it's any of your business!

Homura Akemi:
I warned you, remember?

Madoka Kaname:
Yes.

Homura Akemi:
Very well then, I hope my warning is not in vain. Goodbye.

Madoka Kaname:
Homura, uh wait, I'd like to know what you wished for when you became a magical girl? [Homura does not reply and simply leaves]

Homura Akemi:
Madoka Kaname, do you treasure the life you currently live? And do you consider your family and your friends precious?

Madoka Kaname:
Uuh well I, of course I do. I mean I do. My family and my friends. I love them very much and yes they are very precious to me

Homura Akemi:
Do you mean it?

Madoka Kaname:
Absolutely I couldn't lie about that.

Homura Akemi:
Good. Because if that's the truth then you wouldn't try changing the life you have or the person you are. Otherwise you'll lose everything you love. Don't change, stay as you are, Madoka Kaname. Stay as you are, forever.

Madoka Kaname:
[first lines; Madoka sees a mysterious girl fighting an unknown creature and being beaten badly ] That's horrible!

Kyubey:
You can't help it. One person can't handle this alone. But she knew that and came anyway.

Madoka Kaname:
No, this isn't right, it's too much for her!

Kyubey:
If she gives up, it's over. But you have the power to change this destiny! All this tragedy all this destruction, you can change it if you want. The power to do so lies within you.

Madoka Kaname:
I can change it? Even someone like me can do something to help. Can I really change how this ends?

Kyubey:
Of course you can, just make a contract with me, and become a magical girl.

Madoka Kaname:
[Madoka wakes up in her bedroom and sighs] Oh that was a crazy dream.
