Haku, listen. I've just remembered something. I think it might help you...when I was little, I dropped my shoe into a river. When I tried to get it back, I fell in. I thought I would drown, but the river carried me to shore. The river's name was the Kohaku River. I think that was you! And your real name is Kohaku River!
[And all of the sudden, Dragon/Haku is broken up like glass, and transforms back into a boy, thus breaking a spell. They fall from the sky]
You did it, Chihiro! I remember! I was the spirit of the Kohaku River!
My name is the Kohaku River!
They filled in that river, it's all apartments now!
That must be why I can't find my way home, Chihiro. I remember you falling into my river, and I remember your little pink shoe.
So, you were the one who carried me back into shallow waters, you saved me! I knew you were good!
Kamaji Haku? You're alright...
I'm fine. Where is Sen? Did she go somewhere? Can you tell me what's going on?
Kamaji You blacked out, remember?
[looks down]
Yeah I remember being in darkness... [realizes] Then I could hear Sen's voice calling out my name, so I followed her voice and the next thing I knew, I was lying here better than ever.
L Lin
A human! You're in trouble. You're the one everyone's looking for.
Kamaji She's my granddaughter.
Kamaji She said she wants to work here, but I've got all the help I need. Will you take her to see Yubaba? She's a tough little girl. I think she can handle it.
L Lin
No way! I'm not gonna risk my life.
Kamaji What if I give you this roasted newt, hmm? It's a good one. [to Chihiro] If you want a job, you'll have to make a deal with Yubaba. She's the head honcho here.
L Lin
Give me that! C'mon, little girl. You'd better follow me. Can't you even manage a "yes, ma'am" or a "thank you"?
L Lin
What a dope. Hurry up.
L Lin
You don't need your shoes or your socks. Just leave them.
L Lin
Thank the boiler man, you idiot. You know he's really sticking his neck out for you.
Thank you, Mr. Boiler Man!
Kamaji Good luck.
This gold doesn't even come close to covering the damage that stupid No-Face caused. Sen didn't get nearly enough. She'll have to be punished.
Aogaeru Madam, you see, Sen was the one who saved us from No-Face.
Aniyaku [nodding]
Yes, yes.
So what? This whole mess is her fault! And now she's run away from here. She's even abandoned her own parents! Those pigs must be ready to eat by now. Turn them into bacon.
Aogaeru Master Haku?
You're still alive? What is it you want?
You still haven’t noticed that something precious to you has been replaced.
Don't get fresh with me, young man. Since when do you talk that way to your master? My baby! No! My baby!
Aogaeru It's just dirt!
Where are you, sweetie? Come out! Please, come out! Where are you? Sweetie! Sweetie pie! You! Where is he? What did you do with my baby?
Zeniba? Very clever, Haku. I get it. You'll get my baby back for me, but at a price. [laughing] So, what do you want?
Tear up Sen's contract. And then I want you to return Sen and her mother and father back to the human world.
Fine, but on one condition. I get to give Sen one final test. If she fails, she's mine.
Well, come in. I said, come in. Quiet down, you're making a racket.
Excuse me, I was wondering if you could give me a job?
I don't want to hear such a stupid request. You're just a stinking, useless weakling. And this is certainly no place for humans. It's a bathhouse for the spirits. It's where they come to replenish themselves. And you humans always make a mess of things. Like your parents, who gobbled up the food of the spirits like pigs. They got what they deserved, and you should be punished, too. You could be a piglet. Or, maybe you'd prefer a lump of coal. I can see you shaking. Actually, I'm impressed you made it this far. But I'm sure you didn't do it on your own. Let's thank whoever helped you. Just who was it, dear? Why don't you tell me.
Please! Can't you give me a job?
Please! I just want to work!
Don't say that! Why in the world do you think I should give you a job? Anyone can see you're a lazy, spoiled crybaby, and you have no manners. This is a high-class place I'm running here. So there's no job for you. Now get out. I've got all the lazy bums I need. Or maybe I'll give you the most difficult job I've got, and work you until you've breathed your very last breath. Oh, dear, you woke up the baby. Mommy's here. Be a good boy now. [grimaces at Chihiro] Why are you still here? I told you to leave.
[yelling]
I want you to give me a job, please!
Quiet down, you're scaring the baby! Hi, sweetie. Don't be angry. That's a good boy.
I'm not leaving till you give me a job!
Okay, okay, just be quiet. [turning to the baby] Here comes Mommy. I'm coming to get you. That's your contract. Sign your name away, and I'll put you to work. If I hear one little complaint out of you, you'll be joining your parents in the pigpen.
So, do I sign my name here?
Just sign it! Do you want the job or not? I can't believe I took that oath. To give a job to anyone who asks. Ridiculous. I hate being so nice all the time. Are you done yet? So your name's Chihiro?
What a pretty name. And it belongs to me now. From now on, your name is Sen. You got that? Answer me, Sen!
This girl signed a contract. Set her up with a job.
What? Chih... Oh, it's Sen.
Zeniba Come in.
Zeniba Hurry up, I don't have all day.
Zeniba So, you all made it. Sit down, I'll make some tea.
Excuse me, ma'am, Haku stole this from you. I came to give it back.
Zeniba I see. Do you have any idea what this is?
Yes, it's the golden seal you were looking for. I'm here to apologize for Haku. I'm very sorry.
Zeniba He sliced me in two, you know, and I'm still angry.
Zeniba What? The protective spell is gone.
I'm sorry. You mean that black slug that was on your seal? I think I squashed it with my foot.
Zeniba Squashed it? [laughs] That wasn't my slug. My sister put that slug into Haku so she could control him. You squashed it. [more laughing] What happened to my spell? Only love can break it. Come, now.
Can you please turn these two back into their normal forms?
Zeniba The spell on those two wore off long ago. Change back if you want.
