Sayaka Miki quotes from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Sayaka Miki

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

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 I first met her in a dream...or something. [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!

Hitomi

In your dream, what happened when you met her?

Madoka

That's the thing; I can't really remember what happened in it. All I know is that it was really strange and spooky.

Hitomi

If you want my opinion, I think it's entirely possible you met Miss Akemi somewhere before.

Madoka

Huh?

Hitomi

You might now remember meeting her, but your sub-conscience certainly took note of it. When you were having that dream, your sub-conscience simply brought up the image of her.

Sayaka

Seriously? That's a heck of a coincidence, don't you think?

Hitomi

[Chuckles] Perhaps.

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.]

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 each other?

Madoka

[Aloud] Huh? Oh. Uh...It's just...

Hitomi

[Drops her bag in shock] I can't believe it! Just by looking at each other you know what the other's thinking?! For two people to become that intimate after one night?! What did you do after I left yesterday?!

Madoka

[Nervous] Uh...

Sayaka

[Aloud] I can't believe she's going there...

Madoka

[To Hitomi] Well, actually...Lots of things happened, but...

Hitomi

That's enough! You can't be serious! You're both girls! Girls can't love girls! [Starts running off] Girls can't love girls! Girls can't love girls!

Sayaka

[Holding up Hitomi's bag] Hey, wait! You forgot your bag!

Madoka

Uh, what's wrong with her? Hitomi's acting just like you today.

Sayaka

What the heck's that supposed to mean?!

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...

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.

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 say that, and this is just an example, okay? Say there was someone having a way worse time than I was. Would it be bad if I used my wish to help him out?

Madoka

Are you talking about Kyousuke?

Sayaka

It's an example! I'm not talking about anyone!

Kyubey

You can wish for whatever you want. There's no rule saying you have to be the one to benefit from it. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

Mami

Actually, that might not be the best idea. If you use your wish to grant someone else's, you should be careful you know exactly why you're doing it. Are you really doing it for someone else's benefit, or the opposite, you're doing it for that person's everlasting gratitude?

Madoka

Mami...

Mami

The motive behind a wish is what matters most, you know?

Sayaka

That's kind of harsh...I was just asking...

Mami

I am sorry, but I had to say it now before it was too late. If you're not one-hundred percent sure why you're doing it, you'll most definitely regret it later.

Sayaka

I guess you're right. Maybe I was being a little naive there. [Chuckles] Sorry.

Mami

That's okay. It's a hard decision to make, isn't it? It's not something you need to rush into.

Kyubey

As far as I'm concerned, the sooner you decide, the better.

Mami

Oh, please. Haven't you heard? Girls don't like pushy boys.

Sayaka Miki

What you listening to?

"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.

Hey, Sayaka?

Sayaka

Huh? Yeah?

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?

[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 the CDs, shattering it, causing his hand to bleed. Sayaka stops him before he can cause further damage.] I can't move it! I can't even feel the pain anymore; my hand's useless!

Sayaka

It's gonna be okay. I'm sure someday somehow...Don't give up hope! They'll figure something out!

But they came and told me to give up...They said I'll never play again...The doctor told me...He said that current medicine can't help anymore...My hand is never gonna move right again...Unless magic and miracles suddenly become real.

Sayaka

But they are! Miracles, magic...they are real...

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! This just can't be right!

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 transform]

Madoka

Sayaka, I'm sorry!

Sayaka

Madoka! Why'd you do that?!

Madoka

But if I didn't you would've- [Sayaka's body becomes lifeless and collapses onto Madoka.] Sayaka?

Kyubey

Oh, Madoka. That was really bad.

Madoka

Huh?

Kyubey

What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? How could you throw your friend away like that?

Madoka

[Confused] What did you say? What do you mean? [Kyoko rushes over towards the group, takes Sayaka's body, and holds her up by her neck.] No, stop!

Kyoko

[Surprised] What the hell's going on here?! What is this?! She's dead!

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 can you face your true feelings 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'm stealing him away from you. [Pause] I want to respect the relationship you have with Kyousuke because you've known him a lot longer than I have. That's why if you like him, you have a right to go after him before I do.

Sayaka

Hitomi...

Hitomi

I'm going to tell Kyousuke how I feel about him after school tomorrow. That gives you one day to decide. Will you confess your true feelings to him or won't you? Think about what you want so you don't have any regrets later.

Sayaka

[Dumbfounded] I-I just...I

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...

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't even kill a witch.

Homura

Why are you doing this to yourself? Why won't you trust me? Can't you see I just want to help you?

Sayaka

Why don't I trust you? Maybe it's 'cause 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 not what you're really thinking. You're not fooling anyone. Uh-uh.

Homura

Do you realize that you're just making Madoka suffer more and more?

Sayaka

Madoka? This has nothing to do with her.

Homura

You're wrong. Everything has to do with her. [Homura transforms into her magical girl outfit.] 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 yourself. 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, [Homura prepares for an attack.] Sayaka Miki... [Kyoko shows up from behind and restrains Homura.]

Kyoko Sakura

[To Sayaka] Hurry! Go on! Get outta here! [Sayaka gets up and walks away.] [To Homura] What're you, crazy?! What happened to saving her?! You remember that?!

Homura

Let me go.

Kyoko

Oh, I get it. If I keep holding onto you like this you can't use that funky technique of yours, can ya? [A flash grenade falls from Homura's sleeve. Homura pulls the pin out, blinds Kyoko and escapes.] Dammit!

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 it works for magical girls...and that's how it is for me...[Sayaka begins to cry.] I was stupid...So stupid... [One of her tears hits her soul gem, causing it to shatter which causes a shockwave sending Kyoko flying towards a rail. Afterwards, a witch, Oktavia von Seckendorf, appears from the soul gem.]

Kyoko

SAYAKA!!!

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 a hard time remembering things, aren't you?

Sayaka

I...I think I remember being a part of something. Some kind of being...or power bigger than this world. But I...I can't remember what it was anymore...All I know is that I'm not supposed to be here.

Homura

You're getting another chance at being human again. If anything, you should be happy about that. Eventually, life here will seem natural to you and you'll forget all about the past.

Sayaka

Even if I do, there's one thing I won't forget: you, Homura Akemi, are a demon!

Homura

We should pretend to be on good terms. If you're always attacking me, Madoka might end up hating you.
