Chihiro/Sen

I finally get a bouquet and it's a goodbye present. That's depressing.

Chihiro/Sen
[before realizing that her parents have become pigs]

Mom! Dad! Come on, quit eating! Let's get out of here!

Chihiro/Sen
[to Haku, grabbing his arm]

No! Don't leave me, I don't want to be alone!

Chihiro/Sen

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming! Come on, wake up! Wake up! Wake up...

Chihiro/Sen
[to Yubaba]

I'm not leaving until you give me a job!

Chihiro/Sen

I think he needs help! It feels like there's a thorn in his side!

Chihiro/Sen
[as Bo is twisting her arm]

That hurts! Please, I'll play with you later okay?

Chihiro/Sen
[to Bo, holding out the palm of her hand, which has Haku's blood on it]

Germs! I've got germs, see?!

Chihiro/Sen
[to one of Yubaba's shrunken heads]

Shut your mouth!

Chihiro/Sen

Open your mouth...That's it... [forces Haku's mouth open while he's in dragon form] Got it. Now swallow! [holds his mouth shut as he thrashes around]

Chihiro/Sen
[approaching a giant No-Face]

I was saving this for my parents, but I think you'd better have it. [throws the leftover medicine into his mouth]

5 scenes

If you completely forget your name, you'll never find your way back home. I've tried everything to remember mine.

Chihiro

You can't remember your name?

No. But for some reason I remember yours.

Zeniba

Come in.

Chihiro

Hello?

Zeniba

Hurry up, I don't have all day.

Chihiro

Come on.

Zeniba

So, you all made it. Sit down, I'll make some tea.

Chihiro

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?

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro

What?

Zeniba

What? The protective spell is gone.

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro

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.

Lin

A human! You're in trouble. You're the one everyone's looking for.

Kamaji

She's my granddaughter.

Lin

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.

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.

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"?

Chihiro

Yes, ma'am.

Lin

What a dope. Hurry up.

Chihiro

Yes, ma'am.

Lin

You don't need your shoes or your socks. Just leave them.

Chihiro

Yes, ma'am.

Lin

Thank the boiler man, you idiot. You know he's really sticking his neck out for you.

Chihiro

Thank you, Mr. Boiler Man!

Kamaji

Good luck.

Well, come in. I said, come in. Quiet down, you're making a racket.

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro

Please! Can't you give me a job?

Don't start that again!

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro
[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.

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro

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?

Chihiro

Yes, ma'am.

What a pretty name. And it belongs to me now. From now on, your name is Sen. You got that? Answer me, Sen!

Chihiro

Yes, ma'am.

You called for me?

This girl signed a contract. Set her up with a job.

Right. What's your name?

Chihiro

What? Chih... Oh, it's Sen.

Okay, Sen. Follow me.

Chihiro

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!

Chihiro

A river spirit?

My name is the Kohaku River!

Chihiro

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.

Chihiro

So, you were the one who carried me back into shallow waters, you saved me! I knew you were good!
