Haku

That bird is looking for you. You've gotta get out of here.

Haku
[to Chihiro]

I've known you since you were very small. Good luck, and whatever you do, don't make a sound.

Haku

Three days of eating our food and her smell will go away. And if she doesn't work hard, roast her, boil her, do whatever you want. Now get back to work. Where is Lin?

Haku

Meet me at the bridge. I'll take you to your parents.

Lin
[referring to Chihiro]

What? Don't you dump her on me!

Haku

You said you wanted an assistant.

Haku

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

You can't remember your name?

Haku

No. But for some reason I remember yours.

Kamaji

Haku? You're alright...

Haku

I'm fine. Where is Sen? Did she go somewhere? Can you tell me what's going on?

Kamaji

You blacked out, remember?

Haku
[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.

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?

Don't start that again!

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?

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!

Yes, ma'am.

Haku

You called for me?

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

Haku

Right. What's your name?

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

Haku

Okay, Sen. Follow me.

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.

Haku

Wait a minute.

Chichiyaku

Huh?

Aogaeru

Master Haku?

You're still alive? What is it you want?

Haku

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?

Haku

He's with your sister.

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?

Haku

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.

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!

Haku
[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!

A river spirit?

Haku

My name is the Kohaku River!

They filled in that river, it's all apartments now!

Haku

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!
