Kiki: Excuse me. But would you like me to deliver it for you?
Kiki: I mean, my customers. Jiji, if nobody comes in, I'm gonna have to eat pancakes forever and be fat, fat, fat! And what am I supposed to do about that?
Jiji: You'd think they'd never seen a girl and a cat on a broom before.
Jiji: Okay, first: don't panic. Second: don't panic. And third: did I mention not to panic?
Jiji: They're calling you an egg stealer, and you don't wanna know what else!

Quotes about Kiki's Delivery Service
- "The animation of Miyazaki is only now becoming familiar in this country, but he is the equal, I think, of the Disney animators at their best. In the pipeline is Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke which until 'Titanic' was the highest grossing movie in Japanese history. 'Kiki Delivery Service' is direct-to-video, it's in stores right now, and I loved it." Roger Ebert on Siskel and Ebert Septemer 13, 1998.http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/kiki/reviews.html#se913
