GIRL: So even if Columbus got lost and wasn't the first to discover America,
he's still my hero.
He was really brave to sail such a tiny ship over a really big ocean,
and because of him, we get Columbus Day off of school.
Thank you, Heather. Ronnie, tell us about your hero.
What's he writing?
Hachiko was my grandfather Wilson's dog.
(STUDENTS LAUGHING)
Everyone called Hachi a mystery dog
because they never really knew where he came from.
(BELL RINGING)
RONNIE: Maybe Hachi escaped from a dog pound.
Or maybe he jumped out of somebody's car
from someplace far away like Florida or New Jersey.
(BELL RINGING)
But no matter how, Hachi was lost.
(CHANTING)
(HACHI WHIMPERING)
(TROLLEY RATTLING)
(MEN CHATTERING)
Hey, it's a little puppy.
(MAN CHATTERING ON PA)
RONNIE: But no matter how it happened,
a long time ago, in the town my grandfather lived in,
Hachi appeared at the train station,
and that's where their story began.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
(HACHI WHIMPERING)
PARKER: No, it was great. I loved the musicians.
No, no, no, I'll walk. I'll walk.
Yeah, I love you, too. Bye.
Hey, buddy. Are you lost? Come here.
You lost here, bud?
Someone must be looking for you.
Little guy was wandering around.
CARL: Really? Out on the platform?
On the platform, yeah.
Well, good for you for finding him.
Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you what.
This little crate was out there. It was broken.
I don't know what's going on, but...
Oh.
Anyhow, someone's gonna be here for him. Yeah.
So if you'll just hold him here.
You just hold him till they come.
No, I can't do that.
I can't do that, Professor.
Well, he was out... No one's gonna leave this dog. There's...
No, I know that. I know no one's gonna leave it.
They'll be back for it. So you take him with you,
and when anyone shows up, I'll tell them that you have him.
Someone's gonna be here. They're gonna come for him.
No, you don't understand. Really, just, just...
I'm gonna have to put this in here for like the whole night if nobody comes.
If they're not here, I'll lock him in here and he'll be safe for the night,
but all I can do is take him to the pound in the morning.
(SIGHING)
Good thing it's Friday, you know?
We'll find out where you're headed.
Until then, you can stay with me in a nice warm house.
How's that? Yeah?
All right. Here you go.
Sit right here. Okay, yeah. Here you go.
Okay. Stay, stay. Chew on those. It's okay.
Stay.
(HACHI YELPING)
(SHUSHING)
Hello, handsome.
Hi.
Hi. How'd it go?
It was great.
Good. You miss me?
Not a bit. You?
No. Didn't think about you once.
I have a little surprise.
Yeah, well, I have a little surprise for you, too.
Come on. We have some catching up to do.
Yeah.
Catching up. Okay, we'll catch up.
(ORGAN SOUNDING)
Did you hear something?
PARKER: That was a branch against the window.
PARKER: I ran into this interesting situation at the station tonight.
(YELPING)
CATE: Why don't you tell me about it in the morning? How does that sound?
PARKER: What am I gonna do?
(HACHI SNIFFING)
(SCREAMING)
Okay, okay. Okay, it's all right.
Parker!
We had an agreement. I know, I know.
Or did you forget?
No, I didn't forget.
No, it was... He was at the train station. I mean, just kind of lost.
Carl was gonna send him to the pound tomorrow and I thought...
You just thought you'd bring him home and talk me into keeping him, right?
No, no, I don't want to keep him. I don't.
Tomorrow morning I'm getting up,
and I'll find out exactly where he belongs, okay?
I promise you, I will do that.
All right. This was Luke's stuff.
Okay, okay.
Okay, here you go. In there.
There you go.
Now look. Lots of good stuff here.
That's warm. You got that.
It's pretty cold.
You like this? Yeah? This was Luke's favorite.
Okay. Okay, here's your water.
Some story you could tell, huh? Couldn't you? Yeah.
Okay, buddy.
That's better.
Good night, buddy.
(DOOR CLOSES)
CATE: You know, you're the one who should be in the doghouse.
PARKER: I promise I won't bite your toe.
(WHIMPERING)
Puppy! Puppy!
CATE: Hey, puppy! Come on! That's good.
(EXCLAIMING)
Good puppy.
Dad, I love him.
Does he have a name yet?
Yes, he does. "Temporary Guest".
(PLAYING PIANO)
You have to keep him.
Dad, the house feels so empty since Luke's been gone.
Ask your mother.
Mom? CATE: Yeah?
Could you come here, please?
Look, he even likes your music.
Really!
I can't believe it! This is a wonder dog!
I absolutely have to keep this dog.
No more dogs.
Don't encourage him.
I won't.
You're so mean.
Dad, he's gonna jump out of that. Here.
Oh, yeah, that's great.
Try this. I love it.
Does he fit? I think so.
You in there, bud? Yeah!
No, that's good. I like it. Great.
So, you saw Michael last night?
Yeah.
We drove over to the look-out, watched the comets.
It was beautiful.
Very romantic.
It was.
WOMAN: Definitely happened more often...
Whoa!
Are you the... Can I help you, pal?
Yeah, yeah. I just found this little guy at the station last night.
Can you board him until we find his owner?
Board him? No, we can't board him.
This isn't a boarding service. It's a pound, pal.
Look, I just found him. What am I gonna do with him?
Let's see.
Yeah.
He's cute. That'll help with adoption, but we give them 2 weeks.
(DOGS WHIMPERING)
Come on.
2 weeks?
Yeah. We're packed.
Excuse me.
MARY ANNE: I'll call you next week then. All right. Bye-bye.
Morning, Mary Anne.
How you doing, Parker?
I'm doing great. I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor.
Sure, anything.
(SIGHING)
(EXCLAIMING)
Look at this!
Hey, little one! Hello. Hello!
Oh, he's gorgeous! Where'd you come from?
He was wandering around the station last night.
Hi, sweetheart.
I don't know, it's very strange.
Really? He's adorable.
I just want to put that up. Yeah?
Okay, fine, fine.
Window? Hello. Yeah, right over there.
Any one of those.
Parker, this dog is just fabulous.
PARKER: You wouldn't be interested, would you?
What, the puppy?
A fine young puppy like that.
What do you think, Antonia? New roommate?
(HACHI YELPING)
Oh! No! Antonia!
Yeah, yeah.
(MUMBLING)
Morning, Mr. Professor.
Jasjeet.
1 sugar, 2 cream, coming up. Hey, what have you got there?
I got a new friend here. You want a dog?
I prefer cash.
He'd be a great guard dog for you, wouldn't he?
Guard dog to guard the hot dogs? I don't think so.
(LAUGHING) I don't think so, either.
Seriously, man, why you want a dog?
Every day you have to walk him, feed him, clean him, pick up the poop.
How many of these can I have for him?
On the house.
Too much trouble. Yeah, you're right.
Thank you, Jas.
My pleasure.
Hey, any news?
No. Nobody came, nobody showed up, nobody called.
Nobody?
Strange. Really strange.
Can you hold him a second?
Yeah.
You're cute.
I made up some flyers. Would you put that up for me?
Come on.
(SIGHING) All right, I'll put them up for you.
What a sweetheart you are.
I know, I know, I know.
Come on.
He really likes being in the bag.
Thanks.
Professor, no dogs on the train.
No dogs on the train.
Thank you.

(MAN PLAYING PIANO)
Okay, hold on a second. Let me try something.
We skip the repeat of the first section
and go directly to the lyrical section.
Okay. Let's try that.
But just it means you've got to build up quicker. You don't have to...
And when we get to the lyrical section,
just big breaths, big breaths.
(MAN PLAYING PIANO)
PARKER: Don't forget to breathe.
Hello.
That's great.
You don't want a puppy, do you? You want a puppy?
(LAUGHING)
PARKER: This was the only thing left on the crate.
Mmm. "Yamanashi".
That's all I can read.
What's that?
It's a part of central Japan.
No ordinary dog, Parker.
PARKER: No.
It's an Akita, or Akita, as you'd say.
It's a very special breed.
Yeah?
PARKER: What is that? Hachi.
What? It's Japanese for "8".
Number of good fortune.
Oh. Good fortune.
Very nice.
Hachi. Hachi.
That's a good name. I like that.
He might have been born 8th in the litter.
Spiritual significance in number 8
reaches up to heaven, comes down to Earth.
Hmm.
So what do you think? Do you want him?
Me?
(LAUGHING) No, I think he's made his choice.
Meaning what?
Well, meaning he's your problem, not mine, brother.
You're not a problem, are you?
Well...
Whether you found him or he found you, who's to say?
It's meant to be.
He was also saying that the shoguns bred these Akitas for combat and hunting.
So I guess in a way, they're kind of dog royalty.
Did Ken give you any ideas where you could find this royal dog a home?
I put up 10 flyers already.
You know, someone's going to claim Hachi.
CATE: Who's Hachi?
This...
It's what was on his collar. That's the symbol.
You named him? No, I didn't...
Parker, you want to keep him.
No, I do not. You do. You do.
I don't want to keep him.
Admit it. Admit it. You do.
You want to keep him. I wasn't even thinking about it.
(CRASHING) Yes.
Hachi?
(SIGHING)
Where'd you go?
(SIGHING)
(GASPING)
Oh, no!
Parker, that's months of hard work!
PARKER: Cate, I'm sorry.
CATE: I want him to stay out there all night, Parker.
Yes, yes. He's not coming back in. Do you hear me?
I hear you. End of discussion.
I hear you. I heard you before, I hear you right now.
(WIND HOWLING)
CATE: 4 months of work.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Hachi.
Come on, buddy. Come on, here.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're coming inside.
Let's go.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
PARKER: Okay.
See if I can find you here.
Yeah, there you are.
Your bloodline goes back at least 4,000 years, maybe much more.
Yeah. What else we got here?
Yeah.
You like that?
It says the first partnership
between man and animals was with you.
Did you know about that?
Did you know that already? You did, didn't you? Yeah, think you did.
Shut this down.
Let's see if we can settle you down now.
Hey, this looks pretty good, huh?
All right, stay there. Stay there now. Okay?
All right, stay.
(WHIMPERING)
(SHUSHING)
(BARKING)
(SHUSHING)
(WHISPERING) Stay. Stay there.
COMMENTATOR ON TV: At some point he establishes inside so that the Braves hitters...
Okay.
...don't lean out there and start shooting the ball
into right field, which is what they did in Game 2.
I'll just stay for a little bit.
2 and 1 for him.

Runner at second, 2 out.
It stays fair, Lopez, very good play to end the inning.

I was just coming up.
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
(CLEARING THROAT)
(SIGHING)
Just one night. One night only, okay? Be a good boy.
Stay there. All right, you'll be fine.
I can't believe it.
He loves the Yankees.
No, really? Really? He does.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
All right, Hachi, this is what we're gonna do.
This is a ball. Ball, throw.
You go get it, you bring it back, okay?
(BALL SQUEAKING)
Okay? You ready? Go get it.
No, no, no, the ball.
Hach. Hachi. Hachi, Hachi, Hachi. Hey, Hachi.
Hachi.
Now I'll throw it, you bring it back, okay? Here we go.
Go get it.
Hachi. No, no, no. Get the ball.
Hachi, come here. Hachi, come on.
Go get it. come here. Hachi, Hachi.
See the ball? Come here.
Hachi. Hachi, come here.
Come here. You can do this, I know you can.
I just think you're being a little tough about it.
The dog's in a fix and Dad's just trying to do the right thing.
PARKER: Okay. Okay.
Mom.
PARKER: Hachi, Hachi. The ball. Ball, ball, ball.
Get the ball. Come on now.
He's lost it.
(PHONE RINGING)
PARKER: Hachi. Hey, hey.
CATE: Hello?
The puppy flyers, yes. Are you the dog's owner?
No, no one's come forward yet.
We just want to make sure the dog has a good home.
Could I get your number? I'm sure my husband would want to call you.
Hold on a second, I need to find a pen. Hold on, okay?
PARKER: Hachi, Hachi. Come here.
Hachi. Good.
Hachi.
(PARKER GROWLING)
ANDY: Hi, Hachi. Hachi.
Hey, Dad, let me get a picture.
Hello?
PARKER: Hey, boy.
The dog's already been taken.
Yes. I'm really sorry.
(LAUGHING)
Hachi.
Whoa! No, no, no! Hach. Hach. Hach, Hach.
(LAUGHING)
Okay, come on. Come on, take it in.
PARKER: No, you can't go. Can't go. I gotta go to work.
See you back here tonight. Bye.

You're a little late today.
Already waiting. Thank you.

The final boarding call for the 8:32 express to Providence.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Hachi!
What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
You gotta go home, okay? Go.
No, go home. Go home, go on.
I gotta get on the train. Go, go.
Okay, come on. Gotta go home. Come on.
Professor, you want me to hold it?
Yeah, could you?
CARL: 30 seconds.
Thanks.
Go home, go home. Okay, go. Go on, go home.
Hey, Chuck, we're holding it up for a moment, all right?
Go home. Go home! Go, go, go!
Go on home. Come on, Hachi, go on home.
Go home, go on.
CARL: He's really got him trained, doesn't he?
Good boy!
CARL: Professor?
Okay. Thanks, Carl.
You sure? Yeah, yeah.
All right, let her go. Let her go.
Want me to call you a cab?
No, I'll walk him home. It's all right.
Oh, man!
Parker?
I thought you left for work.
I did.
You're gardening now?
He got out. I missed the train.
Oh!
Don't say it. No. Here.
I know what you're gonna say.
Now here, let me do this.
You're gonna get filthy. I'll fill it in. Get the next train.
Okay. Thanks.
And you, you stay.
CATE: He will.
See you tonight. Bye.
Here's a treat. Here's a treat.
All right, okay. Okay, just one more. That's it.
Hold on, hold on.
Okay?
Is that good?
Okay.
All right, all right. This is the last one.
There you go. Good boy, Hachi.
All right.
Okay. One last one.
There you go.
That's great. That is really great, everybody. I'm proud of you.
Sorry I was late again.
All right? I'm off the hook?

Hey! How you doing? What are you doing here?
Bedridge Station.
Look at you!
CARL: Yes. Yes, ma'am, we got one at 7:30.
You okay?
He been here all day?
No, no. He just showed up 2 minutes ago.
He went right there.
You're kidding.
Have you seen Cate?
I haven't seen her.
All right. Okay.
I don't know, I guess we'll go home.
All right. Okay.
You son of a gun.
Come on.
Come on, boy.
Come on. Come on.
(WATER RUNNING)
ANDY: Mom?
Yeah, sweetie, I'm in here.
Hey, hi.
Hi.
I got the chips. Hi, honey. Oh, thanks.
Hey, Mrs. Wilson, good to see you.
Hi. Oh, Michael, nice to see you.
Call me Cate. Okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
Everything looks delicious.
Oh, good. Yeah, that's a great spread.
Why don't you take this to Dad? Sure.
He's out back. Let's get this started.
The grill's ready? It's getting there, yeah.
Nice to see you. Should I chop these?
You, too. Yeah, that'd be great, hon.
Let's see...
You know, I actually took guitar lessons for a little bit, when I was a kid.
Did you?
Yeah, like when I was 9 or 10 years old.
I had to stop because my brother slammed my fingers in the car door.
I mean, he always said it was an accident, but after that I just...
I don't know, I stopped practicing. I wish I didn't, though,
because I really...
It's just, I love music, you know, and I have so much respect for musicians
and people who play instruments...
Michael, do you love my daughter?
Yes, sir. Yes, I do.
Well, that's good because that's what you want to remember on the bad days.
Right.
Hachi, this is Michael. Michael, Hachi.
Pleased to meet you.
(SIZZLING)
Hachi. Hey, you wanna play a little catch?
Yeah? Ready? Okay, go get the ball. Go get it!
There it is! Get the ball. It's right there. Go!
Hachi, go get it.
Go! Go get the ball. Go get it.
Michael, you want to get that ball back,
you're gonna have to get it yourself. Hachi doesn't fetch.
He doesn't do it.
Okay.
(ALL GASPING)
Are you all right? Are you okay? Totally good.
Totally good. Keep playing. Honey, are you okay?
Are you okay? Totally.
Are you sure? I'm gonna get the ball.
Okay. I'm good.
Look at that.
PARKER: Are you really okay?
Don't let me disrupt the game. Okay. Okay.
Are you all right? Are you okay?
He was just distracting you there. Okay.
If I throw the ball just one foot, you go get it, okay?
Really? Even if I just toss it right here,
he's not gonna get it? You're not?
(EXCLAIMING)
KEN: Fetch? PARKER: Fetch, right.
I throw, he brings back. He won't do it.
Not Akitas, Parker.
What, they have something against fetching?
No. You want a dog that fetches, you get a collie, you get a springer spaniel.
No, Hachi's fine with me. I'm okay.
Well, good, because Akitas are not into people-pleasing.
PARKER: What are they into?
KEN: He comes to the train because he has a special connection with you.
"Here, buddy. Go get that ball." Why would he do that?
For fun? For a cookie?
Because it'd make me happy, basically.
They can't be bought.
They're Japanese, not American.
Give me a break, man.
Well, if he's gonna fetch, it'll be for a very special reason.
I'll find a reason.
No. No, Hach, come on. You can't go.
I'm sorry, but you can't go. Come on.
No, stay.
(PARKER SIGHING)
Okay, come on. Come on. It's all right, come on.
Come on, come on.
Hey, Hach! Hach! Hach! Hach!

Good morning, Milton. Morning. How are you?
How you doing today?
Myra. Morning, Parker.
Stay out of the sun.
Good morning, Mr. Professor.
Hey, good morning. Good morning, Parker.
He won't bite, huh? Thank you.
No, no, he's doing really good.
Come on, boy.
All right, I want you to go straight home now.
Go straight home. You'll do that for me?
I'll see you here tonight. Go ahead. Go on home.
Good boy. Good boy!
Great day, Carl, isn't it?
Have a good one, Professor.
Hachi.
There, yes. Don't tell Milton.
Yeah.

JAKE: Thanks.
PARKER: Cate.
You seen Hachi? He wasn't at the station.
No, I haven't seen him since this morning. Come here.
Look at her.
Can you believe they had her covered for 30 years?
Isn't she beautiful?
Yeah, she is.
I'm falling behind schedule.
Oh, you'll catch up.
Just think about opening night. That'll freak you out.
(LAUGHING)
The young soloist steps downstage, sings from La Bohème
and then dance, of course.
Following that, rock, rap, hip-hop, jazz and Hamlet.
And then, of course,
the entire town is going to rise up, standing ovation.
The place is going crazy.
Mayor sees you down there, he pulls you up onstage,
puts you center stage and thanks you for making it all possible.
Yeah? Yeah.
I like it.
PARKER: Hachi!
Come on, boy.
(HACHI BARKS)
Hachi!
Hachi.

No, I'm gonna pass.
Okay.

You really think we smell that bad?
(SNEEZING)
You're probably right.
Mom!
Hi, honey. What's up?
I have to tell you something.
Guess what?
What?
Okay, wait. What?
Just wait. Wait. What?
See anything different?
No.
Yes!
(EXCLAIMING)
Oh, sweetheart!
That's so wonderful!
Oh, I have to call Grandma right away.
Okay.
Where's Dad?
Out there, as usual.
Daddy.
Dad.
Dad, what are you doing?
It's a full-body massage.
I'm following the book.
See... You're gonna be a grandpa.
You gotta get really deep down in there, in the muscle.
Dad. Dad.
Michael and I are having a baby. I'm pregnant.
You...
(EXCLAIMING) Jeez! You're...
Really?
Yes.
You're having a baby?
(LAUGHING)
I'm gonna be a grandpa.
Yes.
Catie! I can't believe this!
This is terrific, honey. I'm so happy for you.
Hi, sweetie. Hey, Mom.
I'm sorry I'm late.
What you got?
I've got all kinds of healthy things for you.
Fresh-cut vegetables, raspberries, pita with hummus and sprouts.
CATE: You know, when I was carrying you,
I was sending out your father for pizza with red peppers and double anchovies
for weeks straight. He couldn't even watch me eat it.
(LAUGHING)
Can you believe you and Dad have been together for 25 years?
We've been together longer than we've been apart.
Wow.
Dad said after your first date, by the time he got back to the car,
he missed you so much he went back for you.
I know. I was watching from the window.
When I saw him come up the walk again,
I almost ran out the door and jumped into his arms.
You should have.
I know.
But I always stop and think too much.
That's true. You do.
Don't do that.
Okay.
Hey, Hach. Come on, Hachi, come on. Come on, come on.
(EXCLAIMING)
Yeah! Come on, let's go home.
Hey, Mr. Professor.
Good night, Parker.
PARKER: Good night, Mary Anne.
How'd you train that dog to do that?
MARY ANNE: That's amazing. Every day.
Let's go.
Parker?
You're overdressed.
(SIGHS)
Well, there's something I might be able to do about that.
Thank you.
Anything else you require, madam?
That depends on what you've got.
Everything.
Everything?
(RUBBER DUCK SQUEAKING)
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, everything.
Okay.
You've had to put up with a lot. I know that.
I don't know if I've ever thanked you.
You know how much I love you?
And I love you.
Good. Yeah.
Come here.
You're all right. What's going on, huh?
You're all right. Okay.
You all right, now? Okay, come on. Come on.
What's wrong with him?
I don't know.
Hachi, you want to come? Because I gotta go.
It's a work day. Come on, buddy. Come on.
I gotta go.
Love you, honey.
Love you, too. See you tonight.
Last chance.
Bye.
Hey, Mary Anne.
Hey, Jas, how are you?
I'm good. Here's your coffee and donut.
Oh, thank you, Jasjeet.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Where's Hachi?
(BALL SQUEAKING)
Hey, Hachi!
JASJEET: There he comes.
(MARY ANNE AND JASJEET LAUGHING)
Am I happy to see you. What? Did you bring me your ball?
What is he doing with a ball?
You want to play catch? Here. Here. Come here, come here. Here you go.
Go get it.
Okay, go get it. Go get it.
All right, good. Now bring it back.
Oh, that's it. That's what I wanted.
Let's try another one. Big one. Big long one.
Okay, go get it. Go on.
Good boy!
Yeah! Now bring it back.
Okay, come on. Come on, boy, come on!
What a good boy! What a good boy!
Aren't you the good boy! Did you see that?
I threw the ball, he brought it back.
First time, a fetch. A real fetch. Yeah.
Congratulations. Thank you.
You are a good boy!
Okay, gotta go to work. Come on, take your ball.
There you go. First time.
First time!
JASJEET: No, no. Wait, wait, wait, Mr. Professor! Wait, wait.
I'll bring you your coffee right now. PARKER: All right.
I'm sorry I'm late today.
Did you see what he did?
I threw the ball, he brought it back. It was a fetch.
No, no, you keep the ball.
You want me to have that?
I can't play now, I gotta go to work.
I'll keep the ball, all right?
Okay. Here you go.
Okay, thank you. You're welcome.
And I'll see you at 5:00. JASJEET: I'll be here.
Okay. Go home, Hachi. Go home.
(BARKING)
All right, come here. Come here. Come on. Okay.
It's all right. I'll see you at 5:00, all right?
Good boy. Stay, go home. Go on.
Go on.
(PLAYING PIANO)
Was it any better that time?
(STUDENTS LAUGHING)
All right.
You remember we were talking about John Philip Sousa,
great march composer around the turn of the century?
He was a very famous man,
but he had a huge thing about recorded music.
He would never allow his music to be recorded.
Even when Thomas Edison came to him
with his brand-new invention, the phonograph.
But Edison didn't care. He went ahead and did it anyhow.
Secretly he recorded his marching band in a parade.
Which I guess makes it the very first bootleg.
(STUDENTS CHUCKLE)
So what do you think about that?
Do you think Sousa was right?
Do you think it's okay now? What about today's performers?
Should you be able to just walk up in the middle of a stage,
plug in your CD player to a Marshall stack and that's it?
It's good enough?
I don't know.
I'm a lot older than you, but I tend to think that
there's an element of music that cannot be captured.
Life cannot be captured. The human heart cannot be captured.
The moment of creation itself is fleeting.
(EXHALING)
(PANTING)
(ALL GASPING)
(STUDENTS MUTTERING)
Hey, Hachi, how you doing?
Hey, Hachi.
Good night, Hachi.
Hey, buddy.
You ready to go home?
Yeah?
(SIGHING)
(WHIMPERING)
(ANDY SOBBING)
CATE: It's all right. It's all right.
Hey, Hachi.
Hey, boy.
Is this how he did it?
I'm sorry. I'll learn.
Andy?
It's time to go, sweetheart.
You're a good boy. You stay here, okay? I'll be back.
(SNIFFLING)
"I hear and behold God in every object
"Yet understand God not in the least
"Nor do I understand who there can be more wonderful than myself
"In the faces of men and women I see God
"And in my own face in the glass
"I find letters from God dropt in the street
"And every one is sign'd by God's name
"And I leave them where they are
"For I know that wherever I go
"Others will punctually come forever and ever"
(SIGHING)
Look, you don't have to wait anymore.
He's not coming back.
All right, Hachi.
You do what you have to do.
(KIDS CHATTERING)
MICHAEL: Come on, buddy, come on. Let's go.
Come on, boy. Come on.

Hey, looks like you got your first visitor.
Hey there, buddy.
Come to welcome us to our new home?
Hey, Hach.
JASJEET: Hey, Hachi!
What are you doing here?
Lookie, lookie.
JASJEET: He's going right to his spot.
MARY ANNE: I thought he moved away.
He did.
He looks hungry, yeah?
MARY ANNE: You are a softie, Jas.
JASJEET: Hey, Hachi.
Want a hot dog, boy? Go on, boy, have a hot dog.
Hey, Hachi.
MARY ANNE: Maybe it's your cooking, Jas.
The Jasjeet special.
Come on, you'll like it. Eat it. It's good for you.
Come on.
It's good.
Where did he come from?
JASJEET: Just showed up.
Come on, boy. Take it.
You better be careful, Hachi. He's got hot dogs in there older than you.
Don't listen to them, huh?
ANDY: Hachi! MICHAEL: Oh, God.
Hi! Oh, God, I was so worried about you.
Why is she just hanging around him?
It's the professor's daughter. Really?
CARL: That's where he's been living.
Will you come home with me?
Hey, hey, hey...
It's all right. It's okay.
ANDY: Come on.
MICHAEL: Let's go, buddy.
Thank you very much. Okay.
Thank you!
That's the best thing.
Come on, give me a coffee.
Jasjeet, come on. Give me a coffee.
I think of him, too. Every day.
(TRAIN HORN WHISTLING FAINTLY)
Hey.
You know we love you, Hachi.
We want you to stay here with us.
But if you have to go, that's okay, too.
Okay.
(ANDY LAUGHING)
Goodbye, Hachi.
Good afternoon, Hachi.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Hey, Hachi.
Here you go. Don't tell Myra, all right?
Good night, Hachi.
(COLLAR TINKLING)
JASJEET: Hello, how are you?
WOMAN: I think...
WOMAN: Lucky! Let's go.
Come on, sweetie. Hey, Lucky.
Hey, girl. Come on, Lucky, let's go.
Hey, excuse me, sir. Mmm-hmm.
The dog out there.
Yeah?
Is that the dog that I've been hearing so much about?
Mmm-hmm.
What's it to you?
I'm sorry. I'm Teddy Barnes. I'm with the Woonsocket Call.
Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of talk about him on the trains.
I don't know, sounds like it could make a good story.
It's Boilins, Carl Boilins.
B-O-I-L-I-N-S. Yes. There's no "Y" in there.
I'm the one that found him, handed him over.
Oh, yeah?
So, Carl, where's he live?
Well, we're not really sure. He comes and goes.
Nobody bothers him?
No, we put up with him.
He just does what he's doing.
Hey, you mind if I take a picture?
For the newspaper.
I don't mind if Hachi don't mind.
Thank you very much. Very nice, very nice.
One without first, please.
Without the dog? All right. Stay there.
Well, I...
Oh, yeah. All right.
TEDDY: I appreciate it.
That's very kind of you.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
Okay, nice and tight. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look at that there.
Big smile.
That's... That's beautiful. Thank you.
Hey, Hachi.
This kid in Derry sent you his lunch money.
He wants me to buy you treats with it.
It's like the 3rd one this week.
If this keeps up, I'll have to open a bank account for you.
Don't say I never gave you nothing.
The dog's making out like a bandit here.
Look at this, isn't that cute?
Hey, Hach.
JASJEET: What are you doing with the money?
I'm his executor.
Be right with you, sir.
CARL ON PA: River Junction local is now boarding on track 2, it's making all stops.
Hachi.
Here you go, Hachi.
There you are.
Hungry, huh?
Yes, he's very cold. He must eat.
I'm Jasjeet. I run the hot dog stand.
I'm Ken Fujiyoshi, Professor Wilson's friend.
Mr. Professor?
1 sugar, 2 cream.
So then you must have read the article, then?
I did.
You saw my name in the article?
(LAUGHING)
Yes, I did.
Twice.
Please, let me help with the expense.
JASJEET: No, no, please. No money.
KEN: What if he gets sick? Medical expenses?
We'll take a collection.
From the travelers, the vendors, and we will take care of it for him.
JASJEET: The station square is Hachi's home now.
Every day he comes, same time, same place, here only.
You'll do that for him?
Take care of him? Of course.
JASJEET: All right, then I...
I've got to sell some hot dogs. Good to meet you.
You, too. Thank you very much.
(IN JAPANESE) It's been a year, hasn't it?
I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night
and think about Parker. He was a good friend.
I understand how you feel.
Hachi, my friend, Parker is never coming home.
But if Hachiko wants to wait, then Hachiko should wait.
You want to wait for him, don't you?
Have a long life Hachi.
(TRAIN HORN WHISTLING)
Come on, mister. There we are. That's a good boy.
Want some more? Okay, come on.
Okay, come on, boy. Last piece. It's good, huh?
WOMAN: See you tomorrow, Hachi.
MAN: Ciao, Hachi.
MAN ON PA: Final call for Oakland,
Wood River Junction and 4 Corners
leaving from track 2.
Ms. Wilson? Nice to see you again.
Good afternoon. Thank you.
JASJEET: That's the professor's wife, huh?
(CHATTERING)
KEN: Cate.
Ken.
CATE: It's been a while.
KEN: It certainly has.
It's 10 years. Can you believe it?
Hi, Hachi.
JASJEET: All right, have a good one.
MAN 1: Thank you, Jas.
MAN 2: Who would've thought? WOMAN: I know.
MAN 2: I mean, when we first went in there, I was like...
Hachi?
You old thing, you're still waiting.
That's right.
(SNIFFLING)
If it's all right, could I wait with you for the next train?
Yeah?
Thanks.
(SNIFFLING)
Oh, Hachi.
RONNIE: That's so cute. CATE: You like that one?
Yeah. Yeah.
That's good, isn't it?
That's me.
I know, I remember.
I remember. I was there that day. I took that picture.
He still looks so cute.
He went to the wedding.
Yeah. He's right there.
Right there.
RONNIE: Where did Grandpa find Hachi?
CATE: Ronnie, actually, Hachi found your grandfather.
How?
One night your grandfather was coming back from a trip.
He got off at the train station,
he went inside of the train station...
(TRAIN HORN WHISTLING)
(TRAIN RATTLING)
Hey, boy.
Hey! Come on, let's go. Come on!
(LAUGHING) Hachi!
Hey, boy.
Subtitles: Arigon
RONNIE: I never met my grandfather.
He died when I was just a baby.
But when I hear about him and Hachi, I feel like I know him.
They taught me the meaning of loyalty,
that you should never forget anyone that you've loved.
And that's why Hachi will forever be my hero.
Oh, my God, look how cute he is! Hi, boy.
He drives me crazy.
Oh, he's happy to see somebody.
I know.
Can you walk?
Come on, Hachi. Let's go.
Come on.
Hey, here boy.
